Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 50

Our story came to an end as the atmosphere in the guild grew to the level of a banquet.

For adventurers who are prone to hardships in life, this discount event was an opportunity to eat and drink freely after a long time, and the noise around them only increased. This is to the point where I can’t hear it even if I try to listen intently.

“This is the amount of content to convey. The less noticeable the better, so I think you can gather by 6 o’clock.”

Now that we’ve done everything, we cast a puzzled gaze toward Engrim, who looked around with a nuance as if he was about to wake up. Did I miss the most important thing?

“What about the ban?”

At Rellie’s words, we nodded and Engrim smiled.

“There is no such thing.”

“yes?”

“It’s enough for you to come under the condition that you have to put a ban on it already. Besides, we can’t handle a ban that permanently restricts only words related to the request.”

Was that even a test? The four warriors smiled dejectedly, and Rellie clicked her tongue in displeasure.

“Haha! Lellie said that it would be a great advanced magic if it was forbidden, so I tried to study it for a long time! It’s a pity!”

“I feel like a loss, really.”

It wasn’t until I heard Ekaterina bang the back of Rellie’s chair, that I understood why. I don’t know if all wizards are like that, but it seemed certain that her inquiring mind was great.

“Then I’ll see you at the North Gate tomorrow. We’ll prepare the horses for the move, so you can bring your luggage accordingly.”

Promising a customized service that even rents transportation, Engrim rose from his seat.

He said that it didn’t matter if we played and drank more, but we also had to prepare ourselves, so we decided to break up after all.

The meeting ended as everyone except Rellie and Ekatrina, who originally moved to the same party, headed to their own accommodation separately. Mysteriously, the lodgings did not overlap, so I was able to turn around and return to the Ogatorf Mansion without much difficulty. As the darkness fell and I was on my way to the inn after passing through the extremely quiet mansion and garden, a sudden sense of presence caught my footsteps.

“late.”

Since everything was always prepared anyway, there was nothing more to prepare, so as soon as I came back, I was genuinely taken aback by Cheryl’s voice that broke my grand plan to wash and sleep.

“Were you waiting all along?”

It feels like it’s almost 8 o’clock, but I don’t know how many hours I’ve waited, Cheryl is sitting on a bench in the garden and staring at me.

“Why are you so late?”

“We met in the evening because the guild circumstances were intertwined in the process of receiving the request. Before that, as you know, I talked to Ragnis for the first time in a while.”

It was an uneventful day, but it was also a day that felt oddly long. Feeling tired again, I sat down next to Cheryl, who stared at the empty space for a while, and opened her mouth.

“Request. How long do you think it will take?”

“Approximately 3 days? Keeping a secret is important, so it doesn’t seem particularly difficult. Others were also people who were doing it one way or another. It seems like they just went and came back safely?”

“…okay.”

With a succinct answer, Cheryl got up from her seat. As if she had really waited to hear that, I was at a loss for words when I saw her coolly disappearing into the mansion.

“It’s really fucking cool.”

If he had been born as a man, it is clear that he would have been a real dog man.

?

Anyway, because Cheryl got up early, my sleep plan went off without a hitch. Thanks to that, even though I woke up at 5:00 am, I was greeted with a refreshing wake-up, quickly washed and prepared, packed my travel gear, and left the mansion.

No servant reacted to seeing me pack my adventurer gear and leave. This time, I’m just going to raise my grade to match Cheryl, and I’m just casually saying hello. Because it’s a wonderful working environment.

Even at this time, food vendors for adventurers were always on the move, so it was not difficult to buy some beef jerky and breakfast bread until they reached the north gate. As I ate raw baguettes that could be called gigantic, and walked away, the memories of walking around Ogwen from early morning came back to me, giving me goose bumps.

It’s been less than two years, but it feels like it’s already been 10 years.

“You came quite quickly, Eldmia. Your young friend has a good sense of time.”

Gin was sitting alone smoking a pipe at the north gate when he arrived with such a strange sense of exhilaration. It was truly an adventurer’s look to see him sitting with his luggage roughly placed on the outside wall with the Battle X, which was suitable for a dwarf.

“I thought I came early too, but when did you come? Did you stay up all night with excitement at the thought of splitting the head of a demon worshiper?”

“Cheolkeolkeol. I’m too old to be excited about something like that. At least I came about 10 minutes earlier.”

He was a very diligent person.

That said, I didn’t want to just sit around for 30 minutes, so I put down my luggage next to me, took out the bag of coffee powder I had put in my bag, and approached the guard post where the guards at the north gate were. As I knocked on the threshold of the guardhouse, two guards, who seemed to be in the middle of their sleep, turned their eyes to me.

“You’ve been struggling since dawn!”

“Huh. I think you’ve been struggling since dawn too. Are you going to be interrogated?”

“I’d like to ask you a favor when the party gets together in a little while. It’s nothing else than sharing some warm coffee. Can I borrow a light?”

“Coffee? I’ll give you water already boiled!”

“Yeah, the capital guards are really kind.”

Smiles bloomed on the faces of the two guards as they entered the room with a smile and handed over their pockets. Coffee for the common people is just a stimulant full of bitterness made by adding coffee bean powder to boiling water.

Even though the guards received it in their pockets, they returned it after using the coffee grounds very conscientiously, and I came out with hot coffee in the cup they lent me.

“Early risers drink coffee.”

Gin, who was presented with an unexpected cup of coffee, was delighted with his eyes wide open.

“Huh! You’re really cool. Even adventurers over 20 are full of crooked guys!”

“Isn’t it all wisdom in life?”

“Chuck! That’s right! In the end, getting along without corners is the wisdom of life!”

It is new that such words come out of the mouth of a rumored Dwarf because there are many angular places, but just as an elf who becomes an adventurer has his own circumstances, a dwarf who becomes an adventurer must have his own circumstances. Anyway, thanks to the coffee, we were able to talk a lot in a comfortable atmosphere, and we were able to wait for the other colleagues with a relaxed mind.

“Wow. My God. The smell of coffee has been vibrating since morning? Did the guards distribute it?”

It was Rellie and Ekatrina who arrived around 5:50. From the outside, it looks like Ekatrina should be fast and Rellie should be asleep, but Gin and I burst into laughter thanks to the two appearing in opposite looks.

“Ekatrina. Open your eyes. Are you having trouble sleeping?”

“Ugh. Waking up at dawn is always hard.”

In the end, the guards helped them one more time to clear their minds. Fortunately, the guards warmly accepted it as if they were welcoming a friend of ten years, and Gaendal showed up only when they finished drinking coffee.

“Hmm? The atmosphere has been warm since morning.”

Seeing him approaching while skillfully leading his five horses alone, we were briefly puzzled and understood at the same time.

“I guess. It’s going to stand out too much.”

“It’s so comforting to have a party with people who understand without being told.”

It’s obviously a guild leader, but it’s a problem to come directly, and it must have been a problem to show up with a horse through a guild member and lend a horse to adventurers. It’s a wonder I didn’t notice it yesterday.

“I realized it only after entering the dorm.

The sunlight on Gaendal’s head, who was so handsome in leading by example, shone like a halo.

“The signs are good right from the start. To notice the parts you might have missed and to have coffee together so you can work with a clear mind. How nice it would be if all requests were like this.”

“Whoops. Of all the quests I’ve done so far, the most serious one has such a clean start. It’s paradoxical.”

It’s a really rude story, but the sight of Yekatrina, who is a barbarian herself, drinking coffee and talking about paradoxes… I could even feel the difference.

In fact, could she be a civilization warrior too?
