Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

The sparring battle with the wolves went much more gently than expected.

It might have played a part in the fact that both of us were fighting with a slap and fight, making a sound when a person’s body hit the armor, but at some point, the outlaws who started to see us fighting as if they were watching an arena were losing the stake. The biggest reason was that they started responding by walking.

It’s not a very large space, but there are people standing around eagerly cheering and swearing repeatedly, people walking around the gap collecting stakes, and so on. The vigilant attitude he had shown before has gone and only emits the unique heat of gamblers.

“No no!”
“Hey dude! Wake up! It cost me a week’s worth of drinks!”

Thanks to this, even though I was the cause of this fight, the outlaws were pouring out 50,000 curse words at the wolf beastman who was lying on the floor and was unconscious. Seeing that even the people who say that are smiling, it seems like they are just having fun.

It wasn’t that the wolf beast was weak. Rather, he was strong enough to be proud of his skills.

The problem was that as a martial artist, he had only learned the skills to reliably destroy his opponent.

I’m not familiar with how to subdue them with less hurt in a state of no malice or hostility. Even after I realized that I was strong, I was busy raising and inserting my toenails and repeating them from time to time, so unless I had an overwhelming difference in skill, there was no way I could win.

Since you don’t know how to attack, you don’t even know there is such an attack, and you don’t know how to defend it naturally. Even now, I feel like my eyes are spinning because I shake my brain properly.

“Damn it, you know all the weird tricks.”

As a result, from the moment I collapsed, ‘What the hell is this?’ The guy who muttered that he couldn’t get up even though he gave it quite a bit of time.

“Yes, I admit it. Whether the customer takes the weapon or not doesn’t mean much.”

In the end, the scene of the mad gambling came to an end with joy and sorrow crossed only after the wolf-man raised his hands and expressed his intention to surrender.

Of course, I didn’t intend to just let go of the attempt to make money by leaving me, so the wolf prisoner, who was lying down and watching me ask for a reasonable share of the business and even collect the money, stood up slowly and spoke to me.

“Your skills are good, and your skills are good. It would have been less troublesome if you handed over the weapon and stayed quiet… Why did you bother to reveal it?”
“It’s less suspicious if you reveal it in advance.”

When I lent my hand to get up comfortably, he smiled cheerfully, grabbed my hand, and stood up.

“My name is Carl Kansi. He’s a wanderer.”
“Ethan Lavisher. A wanderer.”
“It’s a pity. Had we met sooner, Quansala would have brought a chest of gold coins to hire a guest.”
“me?”

As I moved along with Carl Kansi, who signaled that he would guide me with a gesture, he relaxed his shoulders and nodded.

“It’s just a story I’ve heard since I went out and came back, but I heard that there were some signs before the head was split by the demon king’s army. I was a guy who knew the threat to my life like a ghost, so I hired talented guys for a lot more money?”

In the end, it was all futile, but whatever.

A strangely regretful attitude lingered on Carl Kansi, who sighed as he finished his words.

“Were you friends?”
“More than that… He was a decent business associate. Even though he was a piece of shit, he was bold enough to spend money when he needed it, and I had enough skills to get the money.”

aha. The sad thing was that.

As I walked along and listened to his story, it seemed that the successor to the chief, Qansala, did not take the expense of Karl Kansi lightly. Rumors of nuances started to spread that he was holding a knife that cuts well for its purpose, even though he moves in hiding anyway?

It was understandably absurd that such rumors would spread when the head of the organization had been blown away by violent means, but the next boss reportedly nailed it down by even attempting to bargain for Carl Kansi’s ransom.

“After that, it’s an obvious story. Going to the Demonic Territory this time is my last job here.”
“It must be a pity that the bee is gone. Are you from the Demonic Territory?”
“It’s not particularly like that, but I’m more comfortable in the demonic territory than in the city of the Humans. Most of the Humans are afraid of us, aren’t they?”

It was just as Carl Kansey said. If there were rabbit beastmen or sparrow beastmen, he might not have been so scared, but beastmen had the appearance of predators such as wolves, lions, leopards, and bears.

He even had overwhelming physical abilities to match, so he said everything.

“But what is the customer going to the demonic territory with such skills? Did you kill someone who shouldn’t have been killed?”
“No. There’s a guy there to kill, so go kill him.”
“Hahaha! You have good skills, but you were a fun guest!”

It wasn’t really a joke, but I didn’t have to wash my face for no reason, so I laughed together and a better atmosphere was formed.

After meeting the captain, things progressed normally. At first, the captain looked at me as if I was a weirdo when I came in with a weapon.

“The beastman I met was a bit clumsy in common language, but he was not so good at it, he was eloquent.”

Contrary to his menacing appearance, Carl Kansi’s witty explanation also played a big role in easing his guard, so when I asked a question while leaving the meeting with the captain, he answered with a long tongue and a smile.

“I worked hard. Among the beasts, you can count on one hand people who can talk like me.”

If you look into each other’s eyes for more than 3 seconds, he will throw his fists and look like he’s going to see you, so he’s a really intelligent friend.

Thanks to that, I didn’t have to keep my mouth shut between the outlaws, and I spent time talking about various things with Carl Kansi until the departure time the captain said.

“What? Krul? Krul Pitaly Bazaso?”

Among them, the topic that received the best response was ‘the prisoner I met’, which I thought would be mentioned briefly.

When I talked to Carl Kansi, who showed great interest, about the bond between beasts and humans, even though their appearances were very different, a fierce reaction came back.

“Do you know someone?”
“I know. He was a famous friend before he returned with the prisoners who were taken away by the slave traders. He’s quite a radical guy, so he won’t mix well with humans, but he’s good at it, right?”
“Somehow.”

There were too many kangies to show the proof I received in my original name. Thanks to that, I was able to bring out the question I was trying to ask a little faster.

“Come to think of it, the captain seems to be welcoming the coming of a talented person, but isn’t that safe smuggling?”
“Ah, it’s a little different. It’s usually safe, but sometimes it’s called a variable, right? In that case, if you have a good friend on board, it’s a safety device, so I like it.”
“You take money and ask customers to fight?”
“Of course they take care of the money. It’s urgent, so I’ll take care of it. Sometimes, I earn more than my wages and go out.”

It wasn’t a story I was particularly interested in because I wasn’t short on money, but I nodded my head moderately because I didn’t have any other options.

In the first place, it was not a place I came to by myself, and it was definitely a restaurant recommended by the Empire, so there is no use in doubting it. Instead of continuing my useless worries, I decided to extract the information I needed from Carl Kansi.

When Carl Kansi, who was in a position no different from a late-life sergeant who was about to be discharged, left to talk to me, others sat there and began to greet visitors. And those who came for smuggling, like me, left their weapons at their request and went through the process of going to meet the captain, then crossed over to the quasi-tavern where we were sitting and spent the rest of the time.

Often, when those who reacted violently and refused to lay down their weapons appeared, those who had not forgotten the previous gambling table pricked up their ears and paid attention. Mostly it ended with futile resistance, so only the scene of drinking again while clicking the tongue was repeated.

In the meantime, the story of Carl Kansi continued, so there was nothing boring. By the time the sun went down and the sky and sea at the end of the cave were turning red, the people except for the customers sitting in the tavern began to move busily to prepare for departure.

“Are we leaving now?”
“Right. In winter, if you move when the sun is completely down over the horizon, you can cross the danger zone in good time.”

Some of the outlaws who were moving like that complained to Carl Kansi for help, but he only laughed and blew his middle finger.

“Those who are going to the demons should get on board! If it’s late, I’ll leave it without any fuss, so hurry up!”

The captain, who came out of the accommodation located on the corner of the cave, strode forward and shouted, and the people began to shake their butts one by one and get up from their seats. They silently followed the captain as if they had no interest in each other, and the captain glanced around at the passengers and prayed in mysterious movements before boarding the ship, then shouted at the top of his voice.

“May the gods protect this voyage as well!”

It was very funny to see him looking for God while committing a transgression, but since he was in the position of participating in the transgression, he couldn’t bear to think that he had fallen for himself.

A word from the author (Author’s review) A menu called Sponsorship Management came up out of the blue, so I tried something, and it seems like an automatic message is sent to those who sponsor writers.

something… something something. I think it feels like being greeted with a full message on KakaoTalk.
