Chapter 73
But in Eldmia, he is always a man who finds answers.
It wasn’t until the second lunch break at the academy that I found the freedom I so longed for.
Don’t worry, Eldmia, the fairy tale knight, has dealt with all the female students who actively courted her in just one day!
“You… you weren’t the only one dragged around while you were with the Ogatorv family, were you?”
“Why am I going to such a place? It’s already a tight life.”
My fantastic rhetoric and artful sugar coating were so perfect that even Ragnis, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn’t help but admire, applaud, and smile. Of course, I didn’t know that this was just the first defense battle, but it won’t be as serious as today because all the students who were halfway to my iron fortress-like attitude would have fallen off.
However, as soon as Ragnis left for a while, saying that he had to move as a Marquis, completely different beings started harassing me.
“Sir Eldmia. I really want to compete.”
They were passionate swordsmen who were even more enthusiastic about the knight in the fantasy. At first, I wondered why even the warriors couldn’t defeat them, so they were grinding their teeth behind me, why did they cling to me like this?
“They only get a sense of shame when they stick with me, but they believe that if they stick with you, they can get skills.”
“Technology?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Unless there are two heroes on the continent, you’re just one of many people who aren’t heroes, so it’s common to think that you can learn anything.”
Actually, it sucks magic power, too.
Speaking of my skills, the elven swordsmanship I learned informally from Asilier and the ogatorp swordsmanship I learned in less than two years were all. Even though I learn faster than others who have spent the same amount of time, I haven’t learned any secret tricks, so it’s said that I can’t give them the new enlightenment they want, but I can’t advertise to the neighbors that I’m using magic, so the day I return to the kingdom Until then, this suffering seems to continue.
Lately, I feel like only the tiring things are piling up.
“So, isn’t your brother making a huge contribution to getting rid of the flying flies around you? You were expecting everything.”
As if he didn’t have a hangover even though he had grown up like that, the words spoken by Siegfried, who was so eloquent, were reprehensible, but not particularly wrong. Even though most of the extreme fighting warriors were not in a situation where they could communicate, as soon as Siegfried appeared, they gave up on approaching him like a lie.
Right now, even in the corner of that restaurant, as soon as Siegfried disappears, there is a situation where a table is filled with people with their eyes on them, full of thoughts.
The hero’s performance is certain.
“What the hell did you do so viciously that it’s so effective like a drug that repels insects?”
“What’s the insect repellent drug you dude hyung gave you?”
Even if he said that, Siegfried was very cheerful.
“I thought you were going to get burned, so I came here to help you and give you information in advance so that you don’t stick your nose in strange places, dude. If you act like that, good information will fly away.”
“Aren’t you overlooking the fact that I’m just an entourage of nobles returning to the kingdom in six days?”
It’s information and nabal, and I’m not going to live here anyway, so how important would it be if everything I did was important?
However, despite my sullen answer, Siegfried smiled leisurely.
“It’s important that no one is overlooking it, dude. It’s because of me that you and the Marquis were brought here. But did the Empire really assume my defeat and summon you?”
“That’s not…”
If you assumed that, it’s not a matter of knowing me or something, but at the level of foreseeing the future. Even I didn’t know how to defeat the hero, so how could I expect such a thing?
“Of course not. The Empire has been building for quite a long time under the name of education from the moment they brought me… um. They have been planning. Not only do I show off and solidify the position of the Empire again, but I also want to gain new interests after defeating the Demon King.” You could say it’s a plan to hold on to.”
“Something smells like a very long introduction, but is the story related to the information you’re trying to give today? It doesn’t seem like it.”
“It’s because I’ve been working hard, dude. Listen to it first.”
As he continued his meal, Siegfried lightly ignored my criticism and continued his conversation.
“The first button of the plan was screwed up because I didn’t do what the Empire told me to do, but how could things like the Empire end with that? there was.”
“Did you just run into me knowing that?”
“Of course, you bastard.
Although he looks like an 18-year-old young man, Siegfried is also a reincarnated person. Assuming that he is a child who moves without thinking, he will not be so easily swayed by the plans that are made, so if it is natural, it is a natural idea.
“But in the form of unintentionally losing to you, I was able to shit on the Empire’s second best plan. But this is a different situation from George simply because I didn’t bite the bait they threw.”
The warrior’s fork calmly pointed at me. I didn’t believe that winning a hero who was destined to save the world in Dalian would not bring any change to my life, but hearing it from someone else’s mouth made me feel special.
“A day is a fucking long time for nobles, Eldmia. It’s a fucking long time. They’re already targeting you too.”
“…A hero who is barely growing is not too enthusiastic just because he won in sparring once?”
“Are you fucking underestimating my skills and yours?”
While muttering, “Where did this guy come from?”, Siegfried showed his teeth and laughed.
“What are you going to say? Just accept it. You’re the kid who made your ransom money in an instant with just one couple of couplets. You raised it.”
It means you have to be very careful and the troublesome things have increased. Siegfried’s muttering face seemed to contain even subtle sympathy.
“But is that something to be so vigilant about?”
“what?”
In fact, I wonder if any country would act similarly if they could hold the Joker, a warrior, but Siegfried feels a strange hostility toward the Empire. It doesn’t seem like they treat them badly or forcibly put restrictions on their actions, so why is that?
I was able to speak with confidence because I had lived in the kingdom for 15 years. An empire is an empire. It is a country that has developed enough to chew other countries lightly in every way. The academy mentions equality and strives to recruit talented people, and even mobilizes tremendous technology.
In the end, if the treatment is similar everywhere, the difference is clear enough that there is no reason to deliberately kick the empire. Adding a bit of exaggeration, if other places are medieval, this capital is at a level close to modern times.
If you look at it normally, if such an empire wants to hire me, it won’t be enough to welcome it with open arms.
“Honestly, I don’t know what other countries are like, but compared to the kingdom, the empire’s culture is ridiculously superior. Rather, if the empire offers a position, wouldn’t you normally accept it?”
“Well… this is a bit ambiguous to talk about, so I won’t tell you yet. But first of all, don’t think that just because it looks good doesn’t mean the process is good either. Hyung likes to fuck this place for a reason.”
I think people are all the same wherever they live. It seems that more likability work is needed to find out Siegfried’s secret yet.
“Seeing that you say yet, you think you’ll have a chance to say it someday?”
“I guess so? Hyung feels good about this. You’re going to see me for a while.”
“What are you saying disgustingly…”
“Because it’s true. Even if I go back in 6 days, you’ll see me grossly.”
I’m a reincarnated person anyway, so if I see a person from the same town I met after 15 years, there’s nothing bad about it, but how can he be so sure when he doesn’t even know that?
…Do you really have a sense of humor?
“Are you so intrigued that you’re telling me this and that?”
“Uh. Don’t you think it’s common for me to move separately from my girls and meet guys? It’s all because I care about my sister.”
Now, they treat you as if you were a real brother-in-law.
Even though he was talking the hardest, Siegfried had already finished his meal. No, I couldn’t even eat half of my meal while listening to it.
“When did you finish your replacement meal?”
“Hyung is a bit quick to eat.
guy. is it a pen? I couldn’t fix eating fast in my previous life either.
As if he had said everything, Siegfried stood up and finished the conversation by lightly turning his head.
“Anyway, that’s the most important thing I wanted to say. The rest… I’m just saying that it’s going to get a little complicated because there will be tourists from other countries like you who come to see me from today.”
“Rather, I’m more curious about the stories you just told me? Weren’t we the only ones coming?”
“I told you. It was not in my plan for me to lose to you. I don’t even know what he’s aiming for through treatment.”
As if telling a story that had nothing to do with him, Siegfried ended his speech with an interesting laugh.
“At least it’s certain that now, not only the Marquess, but also you are included in the target. Envoys from other countries will already know about it, right?”
fuck.
If he hadn’t been a little less cheap, he would have just lost.
