Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

The three wagons returned to the capital after becoming two. Even so, the fact that there was still space was not very pleasant.

It was true that the incident was settled quickly because of us, but that was how the adventurers who lacked ability dealt with the soldiers who were determined to ambush and raid.

Even that would have been annihilated if it hadn’t been for us. Even Cheryl was dangerous. Even if it was difficult to catch all the guys in the forest, it could have been stabbed in the back by the enlisted soldiers at the camp, whom they believed to be allies.

It’s already past, but that fact was very important, and that’s why we reported it to the guild with great emphasis.

Even if I work for the Ogathorpe family for a decent salary and Cheryl is an aristocrat, unpaid work is another matter. It doesn’t even suit our temperament.

Through unanimous agreement due to the difference in skill, Cheryl, who came out of a position close to the representative of this punitive squad, pushed the receptionist to the extent that she had to wash her face in a cold sweat and held the guild accountable. The adventurers did their part perfectly just by putting on ferocious faces behind them.

In fact, it’s not our business to know if this was an adventurer’s guild’s problem.

“I’m sorry, but I’d like to get the details from above. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Thanks to this, we had to face a very cumbersome and annoying situation of having to face the guild leader.

I was greedy…!

“Although the stories of other adventurers have also been gathered, I think we need a separate story from the two who played a key role, so we brought them here.”

Of course, it was an extremely friendly place with no doubts or interrogation, but it was never a comfortable meeting place because we were extremely tired after a very busy day swinging to get to and from the wagon ride and cutting people. The reason we weren’t annoyed with the guild that dragged us up today saying that it wouldn’t matter if we put it off until tomorrow was because they took a good attitude and treated us well.

“I’m sorry you must be tired after going through a big deal. It’s small, but I’ve prepared tea and refreshments to help you recover from fatigue, so please enjoy it.”

The refreshment was the finest chocolate. Actually, I didn’t know exactly how expensive it was, but Cheryl reacted and found out. It wasn’t just a reaction, but Cheryl murmured, showing a genuinely surprised reaction.

“Would you expect to see this here…?”

“You seem to be interested in chocolate. It’s something that our guild also prepares little by little for the VIPs. As you can see from the reactions… it’s a little hard to find.”

The guild leader, who had not yet been able to hide his well-muscled body in a formal suit, informed me with a benevolent smile. There was even pride in it, and I couldn’t help whispering in Cheryl’s ear.

“expensive?”

“A box of that is equivalent to one gold coin of the guild trade.”

hee hee hee profit.

Hearing the shocking, even gross price, I picked up a piece of chocolate and put it in my mouth without hesitation. Chocolates that only seem to contain about 30 in a box are worth one gold trade coin?

Roughly speaking, one chocolate is two silver coins, but I can’t stand this.

Certainly, as soon as I put it in my mouth, a tremendous sweetness that I had never felt since my reincarnation hit my taste buds, and my mind was bewildered. I didn’t have a chance to taste high-end chocolate in my previous life, but I’m going to solve that resentment like this. It’s so delicious that even my tongue, a stranger to this kind of thing, notices that this sweetness is luxurious.

However, Cheryl, who is born an aristocrat, stares at the guild leader while maintaining a cool and expressionless face despite the bait in front of her eyes.

The atmosphere did not change easily even while talking about the whole story of the incident, which was clear of speculation.

The guild leader who introduced himself as Engrim looked unusual. Its gaze is more undesirable than the appearance of a warrior itself or the glasses that stimulate an intellectual image that does not suit him.

It can be seen that the eyes and mouth are smiling, but the pupils are actually judging and understanding the value of the person sitting in front of them by looking at them from head to toe. There was no malice or goodwill in it, only a thoroughly businesslike attitude.

Eyes that I had a chance to see often in my previous life. This is a gaze that I could occasionally see from bosses whose jobs require dealing with people.

If you explore like that throughout the story, you can’t help but feel kind.

“I like chocolate, but I hate the way you look at value judgment. Haven’t we already proven our worth?”

A mechanical gaze that analyzes how valuable the object in front of you can take to you is never pleasant. Even if you feel a crush on the other person, you get chills when you notice it, but if you dig in from the beginning, you want to hit it.

Still, since I couldn’t hit physically, I hit with words. My reaction was unexpected, but Cheryl and Engrim couldn’t hide their embarrassment at the same time.

“Eldmia?”

“…… Excuse me.”

Even so, Engrim didn’t know why he was flustered, but when he looked at him suspiciously, he quickly managed his expression and turned his gaze to Engrim. In the meantime, Engrim, who had slightly bowed his head and apologized, said with a shy smile.

“I unintentionally committed rudeness because they seemed to have much better skills than expected.”

“I understand. I know that there is no malice, but personally, it’s because I’m a bit reluctant, so don’t worry too much about it.”

It wasn’t that we sinned; rather, we corrected our mistake. It even made a huge contribution to the survival of adventurers who would otherwise die. Even if he did a little truth, he wasn’t demanding too much.

Even after considering this and that, a talented adventurer appeared like a comet right away, so if you welcomed it with open arms, you would welcome it.

“It’s rude to drag out the story slowly, so I’ll tell you briefly. I’d like to ask for a request related to what happened today.”

Unlike the gaze that seemed to be looking at the liver, I liked the way he brought it out from the main topic very coolly. But I don’t think that’s the kind of thing you’d suggest by handing out chocolates worth gold coins.

“Is this a story to tell while feeding gold coins and chocolate?”

“I’m skeptical about that.”

Engrim, noticing the doubts that arose as coolly as the main topic that jumped out, waved both hands and quickly continued.

“First of all, I am grateful for ending a serious incident that could have resulted in the deaths of 60 adventurers with minimal casualties. Actually, considering the cost of the lives of 40 people and the honor of the guild, this much is cheap. It’s just a pure favor, separate from the compensation we’ll give you.”

It was an extremely reasonable explanation from the beginning, so I decided to listen to him while grabbing some chocolate.

As I put the second chocolate in my mouth, Cheryl took a moment to notice, then quickly put the chocolate in her mouth.

“And the reason why I can’t explain the specific story is because this issue is not unique to the guild, so you have to pay attention to security. Even if the two of you decide to accept the request, after going through some tricky procedures I would like to tell you in advance that the matter is serious enough to be delivered. Of course, there will be no disadvantages if you refuse.”

However, unlike me who ate the third piece of chocolate, Cheryl’s expression and hands froze slightly after hearing Engrim’s words.

It didn’t take long for her to open her mouth after a moment of silence.

“Is it a matter related to the welfare of the kingdom or is it a private matter?”

She, who had completely transformed into the aristocratic Cheryl before she knew it, asked without taking her emotionless eyes off Engrim. I can’t tell if she’s reading something I haven’t read or if it’s just a guess based on a question, but I can tell that her attitude, unlike just before, is infinitely serious.

No matter how adventurous she is as a hobby, Sheryl is sincere in the request itself. That would also be the case, because requesting an adventurer was not a simple game for her.

Work that helps the kingdom while developing skills and experience. work for public safety. Surprisingly, this aristocratic lady was evaluating the adventurer request that way. If Engrim made a personal request, he would surely devour the chocolate and leave without a second thought.

“Our estimate is closer to the former.”

However, Engrim said without hesitation that it was a matter that threatened the kingdom’s well-being. A man who would have lived twice as long as we did sits down two 15-year-olds and discusses threats.

However, it is a world in which famous adventurers, who are only one or two years old and have a level two levels higher than ours, still exist. In some cases, there are not a few people who really go on great adventures to the level of saving the world.

Age doesn’t matter in front of those who kill, survive, work hard for this, and mature. Just skill is everything.

That’s why Engrim didn’t judge us only at face value, he wanted to know our skills, and Cheryl doesn’t find it strange that Engrim mentions this proposal in earnest to us who haven’t yet come of age.

Because he knows for sure that his skills are at a level where there is nothing strange about him being asked to do so.

“That’s why I’m trying to get as much help as possible.”

In front of Engrim, who had a hard expression on her face, Cheryl began to think hard.
