Chapter 378

Contrary to what I expected that my back would catch fire, Asilie finished the long-awaited reunion just by giving me a strong hug without saying anything.

Rather, the Laika, who jumped out late, showed a very violent reaction, so I had a hard time. Listening to the story, it seems that he spent almost a month in power saving mode, but it was surprising that it was possible, and it was a little surprising that he could make such a decision voluntarily in a state of lack of magical power. I thought my intelligence would go down along with my vocabulary without fail.

Anyway, after giving him plenty of magic power and organizing the tools used for the trip, Asilie told me about the recent situation.

It is said that as soon as the gate closed and Kakula disappeared, the Orcs scattered faster than expected, and it was chaos itself. It was a good result at a glance, but the problem was that they had survived so far because they fled so quickly that many requests to subdue orcs were pouring in from all directions.

“That’s why most of the adventurers who applied for or were commissioned to subdue the Orcs at the time barely returned after struggling until recently.”

In the yard I was gone, I couldn’t ask for such a favor or force even my housemate Asilie, so she came back without much trouble, but others say it wasn’t at all. Of course, it wasn’t free work, and the money was paid as it was paid, so considering it was winter, he would have made a lot of money, but it is said that there was no option.

“I heard that Yekatrina came back yesterday too.”

“Call me?”

“Yeah. Since I was moving with Ragnis back then, we could talk quite well.”

Well... Yekatrina is a civilized warrior.

Anyway, because it was the capital, it was just stabilizing faster than other regions. After hearing Asilier’s explanation that the chaos I saw on the way back was not just an issue in the eastern part of the country, but was prevalent throughout Itthel, I realized how many orcs had come over.

With the Leica on my lap, I began to talk about the things I had experienced so far, leaving behind an anxious feeling that I had somehow eaten away this winter peacefully. In fact, they could talk all day long about the smelly orcs they experienced in the prairie, but the most important thing was the spoils they got from killing Kakula.

“So that’s Kakula’s axe?”

“Uh. It’s a pretty good weapon, so I took it with me.”

There were plenty of stories to tell, such as what he had experienced in Kelvast, how he met Celebian, and how he fell into Count McKellen’s estate. Although in most of the stories, Asilie came close to grabbing the back of her neck, she was able to barely keep her composure because she emphasized that it was not something she had just said or seen.

“But my father-in-law and mother-in-law ran away because I couldn’t do anything about it.”

In fact, even that was not enough, so I mixed some cheat keys in the middle. After hearing my words, Asilie, who had turned red all the way to her ears, closed her eyes tightly and pondered for a long time.

“...Whoa, then what are you going to do now? It looks like you’ll be busy for a while.”

“First of all, I’m going to take a break today... I need to contact others.”

The royal family would know I was back anyway, so there was nothing to worry about, but other people didn’t. I thought I was just doing my job and living hard, but there are so many people I have to call and say my regards to because I got involved in a strange accident and came back after a month.

“First of all, while looking for Master, I met Senerand, I have to see Cheryl and Ragnis, I have to say my regards to Ekatrina, and he said he took good care of Jicmel, so I think I need to take a look... “

When I checked, I was completely out of my mind. When I just got out of the gate, I wanted to start moving from today, but I thought I would be tired if I didn’t take a break today, so I decided to give up cleanly and chatted with Asilie.

Everything that I thought I had to do mechanically because it was right in front of my nose at the time, such as the inconvenience of traveling alone and the things I could do more than I thought, turned into memories that were really annoying, pleasant, or unwilling to do when I came home and looked back. It was so ridiculous that he thought briefly about whether his emotions had become blunted while watching the slaves working in Irmidiz.

In the past, not only Seneran, who was in charge of the court mage and Seneran, who was called the golden wizard, but also Ragnis, the Marquis, and Cheryl, the small head of the Ogathorpe family, in front of her, Leli, who was next to her to be confident and natural. It was so fun to see him not knowing what to do.

“...I have a lot to say. For now, since I came back unscathed, let’s talk about it later.”

Until just now, she had been conversing with her teacher while smiling politely, but she glanced at Asilier at Ragnis’ warning, not a warning, who instantly made a pouty expression, but she shook her head as if she had no intention of stopping her.

“Of course you have to come back safely. Otherwise, it’s a breach of contract.”

“It’s a relief that the contents I’ve been organizing for your education for a month haven’t become useless.”

Standing next to Seneran, whose dark circles were excessively thick, Master, who was always consistent, said a word with a light smile. Then, Cheryl, who was sitting next to him, wrinkled her nose once and patted the empty seat next to me.

“Come quickly. I’m hungry.”

It’s a sight that can only make you laugh. I never thought there would be so many people congratulating me on my return.

I couldn’t find anything to say, so I was just licking my lips, but Asilie explained it next to me.

“As soon as I heard that Eldi showed up at the gate, I didn’t even call him, but everyone came. It wouldn’t be polite to just send him away, so I put in some effort with Tie.”

As soon as she nodded, she sat down next to Cheryl and Asilie and Tie eagerly began serving the food. I was looking at it blankly, and among them, Sicmel, who was the most alone and far away, made eye contact with me and opened his mouth with a shy smile.

“That, I’m glad you came back safely, Eldmia-sama.”

To be honest, I laughed too. Who would have thought that the guy who broke his leg in Ogwen and didn’t care if he died would take care of my family in my absence and be invited to dinner like this?

“I heard the story. Thank you.”

Since I had already heard the rough story from Asilie, there was nothing I could do to say thank you right now.

After the food piled up on the table so much that there was no birthday party, Catherine, who was cheerfully leading the atmosphere, handed me a full beer mug and asked,

“How do you feel about the western kingdoms that flew away as soon as they created a legend in the south?

“...The statue was nice, Ekaterina.”

“...frostbite?”

When I told her the legend of Yekatrina, a siege ram, she made a face that didn’t know what the hell she was talking about.

It wasn’t really a secret conversation, so when the other people who heard our conversation were so interested in it, her broad shoulders shrank in an unusual way, and Lellie burst into laughter.

There was no need to say anything like a toast. We were able to continue a pleasant dinner in an atmosphere where there was no awkwardness, probably having a lot of conversation while I was asleep.

It was a sudden meal that was not planned, but it was a very enjoyable meal.
