Chapter 71

The restaurant Siegfried guided us to was a high-class restaurant. It was so high-end that even Ragnis immediately recognized the name of the restaurant and hesitated.

In this medieval fantasy world, it is said that it is a restaurant that you will know when you hear the name.

After hearing the story, unlike the kingdom or neighboring countries, the empire’s infrastructure and overall industrial structure are quite excellent, so it is possible to publicize and evaluate through magazines and pamphlets.

Well, the streets of the empire that I saw following him right here were not only more sophisticated than the kingdom, but some of them were at a level where I could feel the modern scent.

Even though it was the capital of the kingdom, it wasn’t quite this far, to the point where I wondered how it could make such a cultural difference.

“Eat as much as you want! Anyway, within the empire, just betting my name will take care of everything and the imperial family will pay for it.”

“Just by looking at the menu name, I have no idea what it is.”

“Really? Then, I’ll recommend the chef. The chef here is really good at cooking. You’ll be able to enjoy whatever comes out.”

Unlike Ragnis, who was quite taken aback and wary, I just nodded and drank the first fruit juice I had in another world.

hmm! Apple taste!

“Hey, Mr. Ega? May I ask you something?”

When I saw it for the first time, I remember glaring at me with a very arrogant attitude, but for some reason the elf, who had become extremely low-key, asked me a question first.

“Yes. What. If you can answer.”

“Did you buy those earrings...?”

And, very carefully, I asked about the earrings I always wear. Asilie made it into a talisman with a meaning, but judging by the fact that she asked if she had purchased it, it must be a custom that all elves know. Is it like a tribal tradition?

“No. I got this from an acquaintance. Isn’t it pretty?”

“Hee! Yes! Yes! Awesome! I can feel the hand of the maker! It’s so beautiful that it shines in platinum light!”

Didn’t you just say hi? I don’t think he was so scared that he barely beat the warrior in sparring, but the reason he felt like he was sharp at first might have been simply because he was shy.

By the way, it feels good to hear people complimenting the earrings made by Asillie!

“Haha. They say it was processed with magic. Let’s take a look...”

“Hyaaaaaaa! No! It’s okay! Dare I, heehyaaa! No, that’s not it! I’m sure if you made it with such care, then Eldmiaeg-sama’s safety I should have made it in honor of you, but I feel like it’s a bit like that when I touch it!”

what.

Everyone froze at the words he spat out like a rapid-fire cannon. It was clear that the compliment was sincere, but besides being shy, I wonder if there is something like mysticism.

After that, the gazes of the other two women, starting with Siegfried, seemed to be a series of surprises... I don’t know why. Anyway, it doesn’t seem to be welcoming, so I didn’t try to remove the earring, but just drank a drink, and the elf finally let out a sigh of relief and returned the body to its original state.

“What if you think so?”

“Go, thank you.”

no. I have absolutely no idea what the hell I am grateful for.

Siegfried changed the subject with a hollow laugh, ignoring the whispers of Eselua and the nun who were attached to the elf whose name had not yet been heard.

“Well, anyway. Eldmia. What do you think a hero is?”

“Is that the first thing you ask?”

“Isn’t this a strange connection?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. More than that, Siegfried will only be interested in talking to me, so you talk to the girls and find out about this and that.”

“this and that?”

“Their relationship, or the opportunity to hang out together. Various things.”

Looking at the reaction just now, there was actually something to guess.

To not harbor one-sided illusions toward the existence of a hero. Not considering being a hero as a privilege.

I think they were able to get close to Siegfried because they had such an idea.

The guy is a human too. No matter how good and talented you are, since you fell into a world you didn’t even know about, the loneliness and isolation that comes from there is beyond imagination.

Even I felt that even though I had a family when I was young.

In the midst of that, even becoming a hero made it difficult to have a normal, normal human relationship. I don’t know if I was born that way, but just like my previous life was normal, he would have been the same.

Most of the people who come to you praise you, use you, or show your longing and envy. Who would dare to simply eat a friend ordained by the gods?

It was no longer a human Siegfried, but a warrior Siegfried.

Needless to say, it’s a much more serious situation than simply people coming to you for money.

At least there are a lot of rich people in the world, right? that’s just not me

There may have been reincarnated heroes in previous generations, but at least now there is only one Siegfried.

“Are you drinking well?”

“It’s okay to drink.”

“Hehe. Very good. This is life.”

When I got to that point, I started to understand a little why he was behaving like that.

He has no intention of following straight away what the unknown god or goddess who dropped his life into another world said.

However, in the yard where I don’t know how to return anyway, I can’t see the world I’m going to live in in the future, and it’s true that people are pitiful and it’s true that I have power, so it’s hard to ignore them because I can’t even become a mean person.

So do help. Eliminate monsters and subdue thieves. In the end, the demon king will also be defeated when the situation arises.

However, they are hostile to all approaches and actions that try to use themselves.

If he doesn’t meet people who understand his true feelings, he will inevitably be isolated, but that wouldn’t have been a problem for him originally.

He would have been alone wherever he was in this world anyway.

That said, I’m ‘lonely alone’, kicking out even those who approach me without any selfishness. It wasn’t even an idiot muttering, so he went around with the three of them, and when he met someone he could communicate with who didn’t see himself as special like me, he probably would like it that way.

“What? What do you think?”

“I was wondering if there was any expensive liquor that the warrior could drink.”

“Hey man. Even if you think about cancer, it won’t be even half the price of the alcohol that will come out in the future.”

The little girl who smiled confidently, showing her teeth, started to look a little less hateful.
