Chapter 72
The meal and drinking party with the hero did not last that long.
Surprisingly, the warrior’s body was weak against alcohol.
“You nigga, huh? Don’t fuck if you’re not going to.”
“I’ll turn, really.”
Even if he didn’t know what he was told not to do, Zeke, who used to make up sentences and speak when his mind was clear, was now in a different situation where he skipped the content in his head and only spit out conclusions.
“Zeke. It’s late now. Let’s go back.”
“Ugh? Yeah? Then we’ll go. Girls shouldn’t be out late at night in this fucking world.”
“Ugh. I’m telling you to speak nicely.”
Unlike me and Ragnis, who can only stare at a guy who is so sick after being drunk with cold eyes, the three women look at him with a smile as if he is lovable.
However, I couldn’t deny that even I felt like I was looking at a younger brother who was lacking because of his mild-mannered eyes. Seeing that, instead of kicking his tongue, he poured out the remaining alcohol and Eselua snatched Zeke’s glass and spoke to him.
“Sir Ega is a very good drinker. Among the people I know, few drink as well as he does.”
“Is that so? I thought you were drinking normally.”
As expected, it seems that Catherine and Gin were right to transcend the category of common sense. Of course, if the alcohol here was beer, I wouldn’t have been full, and if it was soju, I wouldn’t have tasted it, but it’s true that the taste and strength are close to whiskey, so I was able to drink it quite happily.
These are expensive types of alcohol that I wouldn’t have been able to drink in my previous life, so I should drink them at times like this.
“Anyway, as Mr. Eselua said, it’s late, so let’s get up, hero. Tomorrow is not a holiday.”
“Uhhhh. There is a sad legend tomorrow…”
“What bullshit are you talking about?”
“I don’t believe in legends…”
I was managing my expression, but I ended up using my face without realizing it. The first time I met in a different world is a warrior. In the real world, I always know it, but I don’t know it.
“And dude. Huh? What the fuck is a hero. Fuck call him Zeke hyung.”
“What’s wrong with me calling a man by a nickname? Stop making gross noises and just get up. Does a bottle of alcohol make a warrior feel ashamed?”
“I’m fine, man.”
Of course, Zec was not all right. In the end, Eselua had no choice but to lift him up with magic, and we parted ways out of the restaurant.
“You’ve been drinking with the warriors since day one. You’re very talented.”
And as soon as I came out of the restaurant, I could not help but be quite surprised by the appearance of Radnell Vandes, who leaned on the carriage and burst into laughter as he watched the backs of the warriors leaving for the inn. No, how is this man here?
“I was surprised. 4 The princess contacted the inn and asked for a carriage, so I followed her.”
“4 Princess?”
“Hmm? Princess Eselua. Didn’t you know?”
That’s the princess?!
I was so surprised that I couldn’t even say anything, but once I climbed into the carriage, Ragnis sat down next to me and explained.
“She’s a princess, but in fact, she has almost no right of succession, so it’s closer to an honorary position. That’s why, seeing her hanging out with a hero, people whisper that she’s using the hero as an opportunity to gain the right of succession.”
“No, apart from that. Then did that guy Zeke go around massaging the princess’s ass or breasts anywhere in the academy? Is there no such thing as contempt for the imperial family?”
“Can you do that? You just don’t have any rights to the extent that that doesn’t apply. They call her the princess, and they provide financial support, but that’s about it.”
It was a reality that I couldn’t easily accept with my common sense, but I didn’t tackle it anymore because both of them took it for granted.
Instead, listening to Ragnis’ voice explaining today’s routine to Radnell Vandes, I reflected on the conversation I had with Siegfried.
Since he wasn’t completely insane, he didn’t reveal everything on the first meeting. After all, this meal for him and me was more like a search battle.
But one thing became clear that he wasn’t just living like a bully without thinking. Siegfried, who was only a bit rude and not stupid, was clearly aware that this world was not a fantasy world in fairy tales where dreams and romance unfolded.
He was trying to protect himself as much as possible under the premise of ‘equality’ guaranteed by the academy. He is constantly exploring the extent to which his freedom is allowed within the title of a warrior, figuring out and understanding the world he does not yet know properly.
Of course, it was true that he was faithful to his desires in between.
“I’m not sure yet, but I think you can say that a hero is a hero after all. It’s thanks to Eldmia, but just finding out that the first impression is just acting can be said to be the biggest harvest of this visit to the Empire.”
“I feel like I owe you all the time from one to ten. I have to repay you.”
“It’s just something that happened to get caught.”
“If you’re a talented person who solves things that other people can’t do even if they decide, shouldn’t you maintain a good relationship through compensation?”
Perhaps it was because it was nighttime, Radnell Vandes, who smiled and answered very quietly than usual, was also the owner of respectable common sense. He is an elderly man who is on a different level from ignorant people who think that if he does well, it is his right.
“Well, let’s think about that later. The accommodation Marquis Bende arranged for was a pretty nice place. It was hard to believe that it was a house prepared for people staying for only a week.”
“To the extent that Master would say that, I haven’t been interested in it all day, but I’m suddenly curious.”
“If you look at it, your curiosity will turn into suspicion. I have no idea what the hell the empire is up to.”
I wondered if it was a situation where I had to think about that with just one house, but considering the meeting and the warrior’s work in the morning, it felt like a reasonable doubt.
More than anything, I don’t think Radnell Vandes is a person who flutters or beats. Unlike me, who is just an ordinary commoner, he and Ragnis are special people in the kingdom.
It had nothing to do with me, but it was clear that this visit was very important and serious to both of them.
“Why doesn’t it have anything to do with you, stupid.”
“Eh?”
“The butler and attendant who assists the Marquis of Levien has defeated the hero no matter how sparring it is, do you really believe that it will end as a surprise event today?”
“Heh heh. It can’t be. It’s true that rumors have already spread even to our servants who were unpacking their luggage at the inn.”
“to?”
Is the empire even connected to the internet? does this make sense?
“You even had dinner with the dragon today. During your stay in the empire, you may be more hectic than I am.”
There was nothing I could do about Ragnis, who sneered and explained.
He just… looked at Ragnis with the expression of a beaver looking at a zookeeper tearing down a house he had barely built.
◈
As Radnell Vandes said, the accommodation provided by Marquis Bende was unusual. As if it had been prepared according to the number of our heads, the villa-like mansion, which was not too large, was already full of luxurious items even to me, who was not cool.
However, after getting drunk and disoriented by the shocking truth I had heard from Ragnis, I had no time to admire it, so I had no choice but to wash and fall asleep.
Just before falling asleep, praying for the last time that nothing would happen, I seemed to have fallen asleep for a while, but I struggled to get up to greet the morning that had already brightened.
There was no hangover. I just didn’t want to wake up because I knew that a reality that couldn’t be changed by prayer would come. The moment he arrived at the academy after eating meals prepared by the servants at the inn and getting ready for school, boarding the wagon with Ragnis and passing the eternity-like road to school.
The nightmare became a reality.
“Lord Eldmia! If you don’t mind, why not have a serious talk about swordsmanship with me!”
“Sir Ega! How long are you going to stay in the Empire? A small dinner party is going to be held at my family in 7 days, by any chance… Yes? You’re going to die in 6 days? It’s a small dinner party, so it’s very easy to advance the schedule. Please visit…!”
“Eldmia-san! Please give us swordsmanship instruction!”
It’s not a club activity to preoccupy the super rookie, but really damn many students have contacted us by tracking our every move.
At first, of course, I thought that Ragnis would suffer like me, but what is this? Aren’t there any bitches who actually talk to her?
“We’ve taken one step away from the rules of the academy. I’m the Marquis. Even if you beat the hero, you’re the Marquis’ attendant. In other words, you’re an easy-to-reach commoner.”
Ragnis, who succinctly answered my questions during the Introduction to Sorcery class, just smiled mischievously as if he were making fun of me.
Smile? is this funny
“Are you laughing?”
“So. It makes me laugh. Even the skills of the attendants are excellent. Itsiel’s Marshal Levien knows how to use a dance lance. Even just sitting still, my rating soars?”
“It’s a laughable situation.”
After hearing it, I was just a little bothered, but it was a story that was quite helpful to her, so I couldn’t help but lose my temper a little bit.
Still, thinking that I will suffer from this for the next six days, the dizziness remains unchanged, and there is no change in my desire to cry. I put on a bamboo statue and Ragnis laughed at it.
When the introduction to magic theory class ended in such frustration.
“Eldmia! I love you!”
“Would you like to date me on the premise of marriage?”
“If you come to our family, we have a plan to prepare you for a knighthood right away…”
Ragnis’ expression began to grow cold as if it were ice when he witnessed a new group of female students suddenly appearing.
Why is he biting his nails again…?
