Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 737

Chapter 737

It was a shocking incident that would have shocked the officials of the Eshunua Empire and the Itisel royal family if they had known about it, but in the end, Esmuye decided to try to deviate a little by hiding his identity.

In fact, it was a matter that didn’t matter to the person who made the decision or to us who were there. This time, except for Ashlie, who gave up her seat to rest at the mansion, the three of us, Cheryl and Esmu, flew directly in our own car so that there would be no trouble during the trip, and more than anything, we didn’t have the confidence that we wouldn’t be able to protect Esmu.

Most problems are not problems in front of the warrior and the owner of the space ship.

Even using this recent Demon King attack as an excuse, the royal family has forced all lords to strengthen their territory patrols and security, so the possibility of something as unfortunate as the one where I was attacked by the Demon King’s dragon unit alone is slim.

But more than anything, what was most striking was the fact that Esmue had astronomical amounts of self-defense magic tools attached to her body instead of ornaments.

To be honest, even if she were to just walk out of the capital alone, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she would be able to survive for three days without any threats as long as she was properly provided with food, clothing, and shelter. More importantly, the guards tracking her location would show up through the Marquis of Bende’s temporary gate.

“I’ve been preparing a lot since the Academy incident. Thanks to that, my actions have been less restricted.”

In the end, all we had to prepare was everyday clothes that fit Esmue’s body type, and fortunately, Tie was able to solve that problem without much difficulty.

If my identity is discovered, Lord Ogwen’s old heart will suffer, but if I don’t get caught, isn’t that okay?

When I arrived in Ogwen in my car with Cheryl, who was dressed up like an adventurer for the first time in a long time, and Esmue, who had become a girl who seemed to be pretending to be an adventurer, I was honestly quite shocked to see the city that had changed so much compared to my last memory.

In fact, I was so confused that I almost got lost because the outline of the past was barely there, except for the newly built buildings.

“After all that hard work, I finally found my way, but then I noticed some random things that were making me feel bad.”

How dare you touch Lady Alicia’s resting place?

Ogwen’s laws were about to fall to the ground, society would collapse, and families would be destroyed. Fortunately for them and unfortunately for me, if this wasn’t an orphanage, they would all have been crippled in at least two places.

“If you scream, you’ll crawl. Grit your teeth.”

“Eeeeek!”

So this time I endured it by making only one leg disabled.

The guys were moved to tears by the result of the truly noble adults who endured it while looking at the faces of many people and not letting the daycare center suffer.

“I don’t care what you do. I don’t care what your goals are. I don’t care where you come from. But if you mess with anything in Ogwen that’s associated with my name, then I’m going to be very interested. And when I do, it won’t end at the bridge. Is that hard to say?”

I took a dagger that one of them was holding, gave it magic, lowered its durability, and tore it apart like a piece of bread and threw it as a warning in front of them. The effect was very good. Until just a moment ago, their faces and eyes were filled with nothing but pain and anger. Their complexions turned pale, and I could see their bad feelings melting away.

“Oh, no! I understand!”

“Then get out now.”

As I turned my eyes away from the backs of the heads of those who were running away in a hurry with their arms around each other and their feet clanking, and looked at those who were truly kind, I got different reactions from each person.

“You came here again without even a single letter, you little punk!”

“You came at such an incredible time, but who are your group, brother?”

“Ugh… I’ll talk about that later. You know I’m busy, sis. This is the life of a warrior. Sometimes, even when I’m away from Ashili, I don’t have time to write letters.

As Mrs. Alicia approached with a gruff smile, and Jin looked at Esmu and Cheryl with a very subtle look in his eyes, he gave them each a hug and greeted them affectionately. For some reason, Jin’s subtle expression became much more relaxed.

“But how did you come so quietly? Isn’t this an official visit?”

“Oh, I came quietly because I had something to do. This is Ash and this is Cheryl. These two are also my old friend, this is Jin, and this is a person who can rival the saints who take care of the lost lambs of Ogwen…”

“Again, damn it! Seriously… eww!”

“Phuuuu!” Alicia’s palm struck my armor without fear, and then she was surprised by the unique performance and caressed her own palm.

“Oh, this is armor made for a dragon, sis. Anyway, this is Mrs. Alicia. She is the owner of this orphanage.”

“It’s really all sorts of things. The world has dragons, demon kings, warriors… I knew he was different since he was little…”

Just in case she got sick, I cast a spell, and Alicia looked at the light emanating from my hand as if she was surprised again. Her eyes turned red and tears began to well up. She was probably thinking back to my childhood. And since I knew that if I teased her about how much it hurt, she would definitely beat my hand until it broke, I decided to just shut up and talk to Jin.

“I mean, I might be going to Radan sometime soon. I wanted to ask you something. Is there a time that works for you?”

“···Is it Ladan?”

Jin’s face hardened for a moment, whether it was because he was embarrassed that he had business to attend to or because the Kingdom of Radan was mentioned. However, after thinking about it for a moment, wondering if he was feeling any resistance, he was about to open his mouth again when unexpected intruders appeared.

“I’m back… Huh? Madam, are you crying?”

“Why are you crying? Who are these people?”

They were the children from the daycare center who appeared laughing and running.

It was dizzying to see eight or so children rushing at me at the same time, some of them so tall they could almost touch my knees, some of them so tall they could touch my chest.

“I’m not crying. I hurt my hand, but my brother here fixed it for me. Are you doing well at work?”

“yes!”

“I’ve been busy preparing for what’s happening at the plaza tomorrow! It’ll be a long time after lunch!”

“I need to eat well if I want to work in the afternoon. Go wash your hands and come back.”

Jin, who was smiling awkwardly as he watched us suddenly become strangers due to the children chasing after their mother, carefully pushed away the children who greeted him or clung to him and continued the conversation.

“It’s a bit messy, should we move for a moment?”

“Yeah, that would be good for the kids too. Is there a quiet place nearby where we can talk? It’s been so long since I’ve been here, so much has changed, I can’t tell where everything is anymore…”

“Are you an adventurer, hyung?”

I looked down at the boy who was interfering with the adults’ conversation with his childish insensibility, and it was a man who had reached the edge of my knees. His eyes were bright and smart, but more than that, his attitude was different as he stared blankly at me as if he had no anxiety at all.

“I used to be an adventurer, but not anymore.”

“Then what are you doing now? A mercenary?”

“No, I’m a warrior right now.”

“Huh? Then you’re Siegfried?”

“Have you ever seen such a reckless and impudent brat? Are you an Imperial citizen?”

Even though I tried to get to eye level with him as best as I could and bent my knees and waist, he was smaller than me. He tilted his head at my question and shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t think so.”

“I got hit with this. Anyway, you punk. If you live in Ogwen and think of a warrior, you should think of Eldmia, the warrior of the Demon God, without anyone telling you to. Why do you think of Siegfried?”

As I hastily picked up the joke that almost turned into a joke, I ignored the laughter of Esmue from behind and lifted the guy up. The small guy laughed fearlessly and answered, even though he had experienced the new world of airplanes.

“Siegfried is cooler!”

“What?! Why?!”

“You caught a giant! You said you killed a giant bigger than a castle with a huge sword!”

“That… wasn’t exactly a lie, but Eldmia made the Demon King step down and defeated the legendary Demon Assassin?”

“Aren’t giants stronger? Aren’t they bigger? Like, they’re bigger?”

Damn it, the innocence of children…!

“Stop acting weirdly jealous towards the kids and get off… Since when did you start caring about that kind of thing…?”

Esmue, who was trying to comfort me while not hiding his laughter, seemed to find my appearance funny. As he approached me, with difficulty correcting his unique way of speaking, the child who had been smiling at me and saying good things looked at Esmue and asked,

“Are you a princess, sister?”

“Why? This older sister is so pretty that she looks like a princess?”

“yes·”

“That’s right, the princess of the empire.”

“Hey, the empire is your princess! I know that much!”

“Is this guy really an imperial? He knows too much. This is what happens to a child who keeps a lot of the country’s secrets.”

As he laughed and shook it back and forth, the Siegfried follower laughed and received the admiring gazes of the other children.

“Um… I think three, no, four would be okay somehow?”

“The quarrels between brothers are all decided by the parents···ya· yeo ahem· I am a living witness to this···so you can believe it·”

In the meantime, I thought I heard some loud conversation behind me, but I must have been mistaken.

No, it must be a mistake.

After playing with the kids for a bit to lighten the mood, I looked at Jin again and he was frozen in place, looking back and forth between me and Esmue. He looked even more flustered than before, and I could tell he had noticed.

“Brother… No way…”

That’s why I don’t like adults who are quick-witted.
