Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 731

The first one to speak in the carriage where silence had settled was Esmu, who felt that the situation had been somewhat sorted out.

“I think the story is almost over, so you and Cheryl should go for a little bit of fresh air.”

“suddenly?”

Esmue smiled as she looked at Eldmia, who had frozen because she couldn’t stand the awkwardness, and made a suggestion. Eldmia, who responded reflexively, then slowly lowered her gaze to Cheryl, who was in her arms.

“Hmm… Well, it might be stuffy since the windows are all closed due to the soundproofing magic. Should I go out for a bit? I thought you were going to rest near the river, so it shouldn’t be so bad.”

“···huh·”

Then, in the end, he opens the carriage door with stiff movements and goes out.

Esmie let out a short sigh as she looked at his back, not asking the other two to accompany her, wondering if he was completely oblivious. She quietly closed the door as she watched the two walk along the river.

“Didn’t you clearly confess that you wanted to stand by my side?”

As the door closed and the soundproofing magic was activated again, Esmue looked at Ashlie, who was sighing deeply and speaking. The composure she had shown until just now was completely gone, and her face was filled with confusion.

But Ashili, who had to receive that gaze, also felt wronged.

“That’s true, I heard it myself!”

Who would welcome the increase in the number of women for the man they love? As can be seen from the fact that they had already looked down on the half-dragon of Lovell, the two of them, including Lagnis, who was not present at the time, were prepared to firmly reject any new women approaching Eldmia unless there was a very good reason.

From their perspective, it was a very natural thing to do. If they did not protect themselves with an iron-clad will, a catastrophe would occur where their number of wives would increase like mushrooms after a rain. How could they not become determined?

Not only do they run wild and get involved in all sorts of incidents, but they also create all sorts of strange relationships. If you just look at the people who fit the description of ‘reasonable reasons’, there are already four of them, including Saint Cheryl, Saint Deoni, Saint Catherine, and Saint Beliska.

But this also means that, on the other hand, if there is a reasonable reason and if there is mutual affection, I am willing to accept it with a generous heart.

Of course, behind it all, there was a calculating aspect of wanting to keep Eldmia’s lifeline, which was already full of hardships and setbacks in its short life, as safe as possible, but since no one was forcing it, isn’t it a good thing?

Cheryl was one of the better candidates for such a potential lover. She had been that way since before she could open the space, and she had become even more so after this opportunity.

It goes without saying that the three were quite relieved by the appearance of a talented person who could put an end to the anxiety of the three people who had difficulty helping Eldmia due to issues with their status and skills, as he proved that the praise that Eldmia had received every day was not empty words.

Is the academy a big deal when it comes to cutting space? Since he is also an assistant to the Imperial Warrior Party, he can be taken out as is and put in as a member of Eldmia’s new Warrior Party.

After agreeing willingly to this, Asili, who was able to move freely, observed the two people’s actions as their eyes and ears, and upon arriving at Levien, based on the conversation they had after sparring, concluded that Eldmia had accepted Cheryl’s confession.

This is not a judgment made unilaterally, but a conclusion reached jointly after a three-way discussion based on what each person saw and heard, so no one feels wronged.

After coming this far, you can’t help but wonder if it wouldn’t have been better to just ask them directly, but there’s a reason for that too.

The three of them formed a united front and started a one-sided love offensive towards Eldmia, but the situation was still too delicate to be considered a proper love affair or affectionate behavior, so they kept an eye on each other because they didn’t want to be seen as a persistently jealous woman who pried at them unnecessarily.

If Eldmia had shamelessly declared that she would date all the women and they reluctantly accepted, it would have been easy, but the world seems to be going backwards, and instead, the three women were the ones who said, “You start a harem,” so something similar to a structure where the one who likes first loses ended up being the one who likes first.

So we tried to appeal that we didn’t care by waiting until they said it directly or by creating that kind of atmosphere naturally…

···The tragedy that had just occurred in the carriage occurred.·

It would be a mistake to have trusted Eldmia’s intuition and believed that Cheryl, who was very similar to her, would be less frustrated than Eldmia.

In a situation where there was no other way than the worst possible scenario, where thorough misunderstandings and inconsiderate considerations overlapped, they remained silent and sighed in embarrassment for a while, but in the end, it was Esmu who spoke first this time too.

“I should tell Ragnis something.”

When I picked up the small crystal that was placed on one side of the carriage and made contact, Lagnis unexpectedly appeared right away.

-Ah, did everything work out okay, Esmie?

“Uhhh, that’s right···”

It was the moment when Ragnis’s expectations, which he had absolutely trusted in Esmu’s intelligence and expected to hear a clear answer, were dashed.

However, as he listened to the story, a part of Ragnis’s heart began to think that it was better.

He thought that if he had been in the carriage, he would have been embarrassed and opened the carriage door and jumped out.

What greeted me upon my return from my awkward walk with Cheryl was a campsite that was far too well-equipped for just a lunch, and a meal that was too fancy to be believed to be outdoors.

“···Weren’t you just having lunch?”

“You can speak plainly. Everyone here is Yeo-ui’s closest aides, so they know the extent of our relationship.”

Esmue, who was eating fresh grapes that she couldn’t tell where they came from, answered casually and made a slight gesture. As if responding to her, her servants met my eyes and bowed their heads with faint smiles.

It’s like I was having a secret love affair with my colleagues, but it feels like everyone knows about it…!

Esmie opened his mouth again as he hurriedly sat down at the table where the meal was prepared, feeling his face, which had felt a little better after getting some fresh air, starting to feel hot again.

“The purpose of this trip is to satisfy Yeo’s selfish desires, but the most important thing is to show ‘leisure.’”

“···What does that mean?”

“To be exact, it will be the winner’s leisure. You may not know much because you do not listen to outside news, but right now, the entire Itisel is in a festive mood due to the monumental victory you and Siegfried have achieved.”

Even without that, the atmosphere was already good due to the recent series of victories, and with the enemy’s master’s power being destroyed, the devil’s plot was foiled, and the evil spirit’s descent was prevented, there was no way to not take advantage of this momentum.

Esmue explained that the purpose of this carriage trip was to show that he had enough time to recover from the aftereffects of the battle, rather than simply winning the battle.

“If it was a normal war, moving by carriage instead of the fast gate and the flying dragon would have been evaluated as a trick to somehow get away from the absurd war, and it would have been easy to get criticized. If you weren’t here, I would have been treated the same way.”

The same principle that the words of a wise man who is acknowledged by everyone and the words of a mere 12th grader are exactly the same, but their weight cannot be the same. If the billionaires of my past life made money just by breathing, then I mean that just by taking a leisurely rest, I can improve the morale of my allies without any end.

“Of course, that only includes the journey to the capital. After arriving at the capital, you will have to mobilize all means and methods supported by the royal family to get through your busy schedule.”

“Is that the break I’m allowed?”

“On the surface, yes, but shouldn’t you study about Radan?”

In the end, it was called a break, but it meant that I was just buying time to study.

But it is true that it is more convenient than holding a knife and installing it, so I tried to think positively.

No matter how many crazy thieves there are in Itisel, there are no crazy ones who try to attack after seeing the imperial flag, and there are many people around to serve you, so you can enjoy a different level of comfort than when you travel as an adventurer.

If we move leisurely as Esmuth said, it will definitely take two weeks to get to the capital, so sometimes this isn’t a bad thing…

“···But how do we let people know that we’re moving around leisurely? Just by rumors?”

I was thinking about enjoying a vacation again after a long time, but something struck me, so Esmie answered the question as if it was a given.

“How could that be? Showy actions have to be shown to be meaningful. I’ve already planned out the route. I’ll be stopping by some cities along the way.”

···correction·

Eventually, my mood began to decline rapidly as I had to attend an official event like I did at Levien and hear the harsh words directly.

I’m already tired…
