Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Asilie’s work is normal.

Even though it has been over a year and a half since Eldmia left for the capital, her daily routine has not changed much compared to the time she was with him. Despite staying at her inn because she couldn’t refuse Alicia’s repeated favors and requests, most of Asillie’s work was done in a cabin in the woods.

Alicia greeted her as she came down to the first floor after waking up early today as always.

“Good morning Assilier.”

“Good morning Alicia. I’m looking forward to the stew today as it looks very delicious.”

Asilie always wakes up around 6:00 in the morning, but Alisha wakes up earlier than that and prepares the day’s dishes without fail.

Even in less than two years, Ogwen and the inn have undergone many changes. The outskirts of the city are mostly walled, the city continues to develop to the extent that it did not look the way it did a few years ago, and the inn is now a nursery-cum-restaurant fully sponsored by the Holy Cross.

It may have been Eldmia and Ragnis who put the first button on, but in the end, the Holy Cross recognized Alicia’s dedication and decided not to doubt it. And that part was hard to believe even for Asillie.

Even though the Holy Cross was benign and tried many charity projects in the city, it was a rare case for them to join hands with worldly figures and even sponsor them in earnest. If they felt the need for a nursery school, they would rather build a building and watch it, and being acknowledged by them was no different from saying that they would treat them like believers.

How are you in the first place? I had my doubts, but now I know. Alicia only had no religion, but she was leading a life of devotion no different from that of a religious person.

“Are you coming over tonight?”

I don’t know when the hell it was made, but Alicia gave me a bowl of stew that was already finished, and Asilier replied with a smile in her eyes.

“I think it’s similar to yesterday. There’s nothing more to do, and preparations for winter are almost over.”

The sun hadn’t risen yet, so the children got up and started helping Alicia while they ate and talked by the lanterns. Among them, there were some children who might not have been 10 years old yet, but seeing all of them move around smiling without complaining, Asilier felt a smile on its own.

“Then I will go.”

“Come on, sister!”

“Have a good trip, sister!”

Responding with a smile to the children waving their hands and seeing them off, Asillie came out and saddled the horse resting in the newly built stable and spurred on.

Her routine was always the same, except when there was an adventurer job. After going to the hut, taking care of the livestock that has not been disposed of, inspecting the house, going down to the ruins where the village was located, tidying up the tomb where Eldmia’s parents are sleeping, and arranging the modest pantheon built next to it.

Far from sophisticated, the pantheon was just an imitation of the previous pantheon by Eldmia carving out a tree. Even though he did not firmly believe in a particular god, the boy had no doubts about his faith, and even though no one had taught him, he did not even carelessly make offerings to his parents.

After such a daily routine, just taking a short walk around the hut made it easy for Asili to reminisce about the past.

I’d rather follow. During the night Eldmia left, Asilie thought about a lot of things. Even after Eldmia fell asleep, seeing her face, she changed her mind countless times and wanted to go with her.

In the midst of such countless temptations, she decided to create and protect a place where people who had no place to return could return.

There was no option to follow. In that case, it was clear that he would have stood in the way because he was afraid of Eldmia’s death.

Not for him, but for his own selfishness.

Time passed quickly as we worked together with the random thoughts we had always been doing. To be precise, it was close to moving non-stop in the hope that it would flow quickly, and fortunately time just passed quickly.

At lunchtime, after a simple meal, and taking a break at the cabin, a visitor appeared, announcing the end of the daily routine that no one had ever visited before.

“Asillie! Are you there?”

The voice of a woman shouting as soon as she rushes on horseback. However, since it was a voice she did not remember, Asilie was wary and took out her bow and killed the human.

In a short moment, I thought about whether there had been something that could cause trouble recently, but I couldn’t guess at all. Ogwen’s adventurers’ guild, like the guilds on the border, was calm and quiet, and it was all the more so because even if there were minor troubles, they were generous in many ways to Asilie, who were close to settled adventurers.

First of all, few people know exactly where the hut is. It was hard to believe that it was normal for people to visit for the first time in their lives.

And her prediction turned out to be wrong.

“I am Entyre Hayaloy of the Frostleaf tribe! I am a companion of the warrior Siegfried, and I have come as an envoy to the Empire because I need your help on Lord Eldmia’s business!”

Quaang! The young elf on the horse was frightened as he had unknowingly kicked out the door, but Asilie did not even have time to apologize to her.

“What do you mean by that? Eldi… you need help with Eldmia?”

“Nice to meet you, Asillie. It’s nice to meet the High Elf of the Green Vine Tribe…”

Entire calmed her hurriedly surprised words and greeted her politely, but unfortunately, it was the worst move in the current situation. At the self-introduction, not the answer to the question, Asilie slammed the door and shouted.

“What are you talking about!”

“Hee! I’m sorry! I’ll skip it! I need to check Lord Eldmia’s location! Earrings! Earrings made by Asillie! This is the only magic tool that Lord Eldmia has! It’s the only thing that can be said to be a magic tool! Find the location with it and teleport. must!”

Elves have no rank.

Nevertheless, among all tribes, the high elves were special. It is not because they are of strong or excellent lineage, but because they have passed the trials of the World Tree and have been recognized for their rank.

Because of this, even though the high elves did not have a particularly high position or power, the elves naturally treated them favorably and worshiped them. And those like Entire, accustomed to human hierarchical societies, had a fear born of awe.

Of course, it was not something that Asilie would consider.

“Guide me!”

Entyre rode the horse to do as she was told, thanking Asilie who shouted as she mounted her horse without saying a word.

It wasn’t that far, so it was a matter of seconds to return to Ogwen. But even that felt too long for Asilie.

When Entyre arrived in front of Alicia’s inn, Asilie was greeted by many unfamiliar faces and the familiar face of Ragnis, but looking at the atmosphere, it was not difficult to guess that she was not the representative.

With their appearance, not only Alicia, but the entire city was in a state of confusion, but this time Asili had no time to worry about them.

When she hurriedly got off her horse, the first thing she spoke to was a girl with white hair pulled back that seemed to be transparent and smaller than herself.

“While looking for her, Eldmia crossed over to a gate whose coordinates were changed somewhere in the empire.”

Knowing that even though he was clearly in a higher position than anyone else in the room, he went straight to the point without saying anything because he was taking the situation seriously, Asilie nodded without questioning.

The story I heard from Entire and the story I just heard gave me reason to follow them. I really didn’t want to waste any more time in a situation where Eldmia might be in danger.

“That’s enough of the explanation. Let’s go.”

“Um. Marquis Bende. Gate.”

As if it was a promise, Asilie had to flinch involuntarily at the fact that the Marquis was the one to give the order immediately. A blonde man called the Marquis Bende took out a small cube from his bosom and prepared something while Ragnis, who had come to his side, quietly took her hand, so Asilie asked her to calm her anxious mind a little.

“Ragnis. What did Eldy do again this time?”

“…I saved the princess of the empire from the clutches of demons and flew away alone.”

There are many things to say beforehand, but it bothered me a little that the nuance of omitting them was strong, but apart from that, it was already surprising enough, so Assilie decided not to ask further about the part that Ragnis omitted.

“I will open a temporary gate leading to the capital of Itthiel. After that, I will go to the capital of the empire and identify the location with the help of the imperial mages. Do you have any other questions?”

“No. Not now.”

And no matter how much he saved them, he wanted to ask why a person like a princess would act directly, but now was not the time, so he promised another time as well.
