Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

The celebration was over after a day and a half.

If they were human, they would have taken this opportunity as if it was natural to make connections and move to get in the eyes of their superiors, but the beastmen simply enjoyed drinking and food.

To put it badly, it was just playing with no regrets, but rather, I would like to express that it was a feeling of pure celebration without thinking about anything at this moment. In fact, that’s what the prisoners I saw and felt were like that.

That appearance had a bad influence in many ways not only on me but also on our party, who had been resting for a while after a long march.

At first, those who were concerned that the long and splendid break might make them fear the hardships that will follow, were greatly relieved by this unexpected result. Even immature children don’t whine, ‘Where are we going next?’ It was a sight that made the viewer laugh out loud.

“Even after such a long trip, the children’s laughter did not disappear.”

Ledel, who moved to see us off, listened to the parents and looked at the children getting on the wagon with a happy expression. I was able to recognize his expression to some extent, probably because he clung to me and engaged in a drunken battle with the warchiefs throughout the festival in order to wash away the disgrace of being a ‘Redel who can’t drink’.

Because he took care not only of food and convenience, but also of car maintenance for long-distance travel, he is now as friendly as Carl Kansi. Maybe it’s more that the way he refused to give me more meat and asked me not to turn the favor into a deal reminded me of Shadow’s feet.

“You are indeed a model of the warrior.”
“They, not me, are the model for parents and the model for faith. Children can’t even talk to me.”

It’s not like there aren’t boys who look at me with longing eyes when I pass by, but most of them run away as if they’ve seen someone very frightening. From their point of view, what the hero did, what he did is just a funny story told by their parents or adults around them, so it was a natural reaction.

It’s just one of the soldiers and knights. Since he is still 16 years old, he is in a position to be called a real military brother or older brother.

“Isn’t it because of the adults around me that children can laugh?

Normally, I’d say it out loud, but this time it was sincere. The visible power of faith was amazing, and the good deeds of those who believed in it and followed it were even more amazing. From the moment I first made up my mind to follow this march, only those with extraordinary feelings have already been filtered out… but I think it’s amazing that it continues even in the evacuation route, not just for a day or two, but for a week or a month.

However, unlike me here, Redel and others looked at me with deeply moved eyes, creating a very burdensome situation. It doesn’t matter that this kind of gaze pours out when you’re determined and sugar-coated, because it’s intentional, but it’s not intentional, so it’s a bit like that.

“I will take the by-products of the King of Winds to the capital of Isthel in my name. Let’s have a rematch on the day we see each other again with the liquor of the Humans.”

Even though he said he would never win because of the detoxification effect of the dragon’s blood, Redel, a prisoner like Jeong Dae-man who didn’t give up, smiled and offered to shake hands.

“I’ll try my best to arrive on time.”
“ha ha ha!”

Redel doesn’t talk empty words. He had made an appointment to meet him there and have another drinking party since he would deliver the goods himself to Etis L. He laughs and shakes his hand vigorously as he holds his outstretched hand.

“Guidance to the ‘outside’ will be provided by Minoka and his troops. I hope that your faith will be able to stand on its feet.”

After a neat greeting, Redel turned around and headed toward the footprints without regret. Instead of taking the place, he turned his head slightly to look at Redel’s back and added a word.

“The subject of asking people to do troublesome things means he’s very hot-headed. Isn’t that right, Dragon Slayer?”
“You seem pretty satisfied with that.”
“Because this ship is the warchief who does troublesome things without saying anything, I couldn’t hate him.”
“Except for drinking, everything seems to be fine.”

At the joke thrown lightly, Raccoon Man and other beastmen burst into laughter, and that big laugh made Redel, who seemed never to look back, briefly turn his head.

It was just the right amount of pleasure to leave the domain of beastmen behind and set out on a journey again.

◈

There was no threat on the way out of the domain of beastmen.

Even Raccoon Man noticed that he hadn’t expected it to be this quiet, but from our point of view, good was good. It might have been that something happened when Iranorev died, but the beastmen didn’t take it too seriously because all the monsters under him were stubborn anyway.

The stable march that started early in the morning continued until the sun went down.

“If we go further half a day, we’re out of bounds. There are a lot of civilians, so maybe we’ll have to go another day.”
“Because it’s this way… I’ll be arriving at Leitor in about four days or so.”

The sun was still setting fast, so Carl Kansi, who had been listening to Raccoon Man telling the story of the remaining distance while he was taking a break and building a camp in a hurry, calculated the itinerary to Raitor, looking at the map and calmly organizing his thoughts. Lady Deoni slowly opened her mouth.

“Littor also has ears, but maybe we’re in the realm of beastmen, so we haven’t received any information yet. If we don’t receive any information after we go outside, we might have to slow down the march a bit and go scouting ourselves.”

Although they had already heard the information brought by Carl Kansi, no one knew what other changes had occurred during their stay here, so no one was negative about the saintess’ opinion.

“Emmett, what is the maximum range of the long-range surveillance spell?”
“It’s not very effective without a mediator. That’s why the demon army also uses monsters or animals through familiars or mind control when monitoring the human army.”
“A monster?”
“Those with half-intelligence say it’s easier than I thought. I usually use algae.”

After hearing that, I remembered the group of harpies I encountered when flying to the front line. I thought it was unusually aggressive and lost its cowardice, but it may be the result of the mind manipulation that Emmet said.

Anyway, the conclusion was that if there is no news, you should run with your feet. The first meeting that came out of the footprints ended without such a clear plan.

After leaving the command post, I went to sleep feeling happy that I didn’t have to stay up all night thanks to my title as a warrior.

“I wish you every success in your hunt.”

After breakfast, Raccoon Man and his companions went on their way home. The march that followed after parting with them was normal without fail, and by the time I felt like I had to camp, I was able to reach the border of the beastmen’s territory.

After sending a small reconnaissance party out of the perimeter in case of possible contact, the camp that started to be set up quickly took shape, but there was no meeting. It was a great change when I recall the early days when we gathered on a daily basis to anticipate the future and revise our plans.

However, it did not mean that we became complacent because of the peace.

“The comfort of the domain of beastmen is great.”

Just the fact that I didn’t have to worry about the demon lord was incredibly comfortable. In the meantime, there was no safe house, but thinking that this would be the end tomorrow, I let out a sigh.

At this, the saintess sighed and muttered as she left the meal, and no matter who said it first, she expressed a similar sentiment.

“I hope that the journey ahead will be as smooth as half as far…”

Realizing that all people think is the same, I couldn’t help but laugh along with them.

It was only after hearing the news that the scouts returned home that the laughter was released.

“Things inside Leithor are going in a bad direction for us.”

The contents of the paper that the saintess placed on the table at the command center with a stiff face were concise.

[Involvement of the Special Operations Department of the Demon King’s Army. The situation is unfavorable.]

And the concise content was something I couldn’t possibly ignore.
