Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga Chapter 281

Meanwhile, Cheryl’s routine at the academy was extremely simple.

lessons and training. That said, it wasn’t that there was no interaction with other people, but he never bothered to go out first and hang out.

It wasn’t because he looked down on them or thought they were inferior to him. I just naturally focused on my studies because I felt impatience despite my own talent. In the end, such a figure was seen as a figure that combines hard work despite outstanding talent, and the evaluation of the public has hardened to the level of a person who is not hateful even if it is a little hard.

Perhaps it was because she changed her routine, which had been maintained for nearly two years, and her classmates obediently extended a helping hand to her sudden requests and requests. Of course, it can be said that the stimulating elements of the devil and the traitor played a part, but Cheryl was very satisfied because the result was not bad at all. And I was immersed in my thoughts while posting the results of the three days obtained like that on the wall.

Personally, I didn’t like it very much, but following Eldmia’s advice, asking for help from Griffith was a very wise choice. Most of the documents containing the abbreviated blueprints of the academy right in front of him and the rough outlines of the underground waterways he had identified so far were obtained with his own power. In addition to public data, there were also personal documents with their own know-how.

I knew it was simply a merchant’s restraint, but when I told him that my feet were considerably wider than I thought, it took a while for my friends to stare at me for saying too much, but in the end I got over it, so I couldn’t ask why. Did Eldmia know about this?

“…Well, that’s a good thing.”

Having changed her assessment of Griffith from a sly guy to a capable sly guy, Cheryl began to focus on the main topic again. The information they found out in the time of 3 days was by no means small, and there was a high possibility that the time given was not much.

The kingdom strictly and thoroughly managed the underground aqueducts under the city, but at the same time, it was freely open to the public, except for some important information related to security. Thanks to this, Cheryl was able to gather decent information with only the connections of the aristocrats in the academy.

Of course, the kingdom didn’t make a foolish mistake because it didn’t know the importance of information. It was too big to hide anyway, so it was just a way to instill in everyone the perception that the underground aqueduct is a sunny place, not a dark one.

In fact, the kingdom successfully instilled in the public the perception that the underground aqueduct was by no means the best place for concealment and hiding through information disclosure, and that it was part of the city and needed to be managed, justifying the nobles with additional costs and labor. Not only was it possible to collect the money, but it was possible to maintain the waterway at a much more accurate and cheaper price by systematically commissioning the work to the adventurer’s guild and other services based on the information disclosed.

Furthermore, it was a business that had nothing to be regretted in many ways, as it was able to show off the royal family’s ability by expressing confidence that it was managing that level of information thoroughly enough that there would be no problem even if it was disclosed. In fact, in the history of the kingdom, there had never been an embarrassing attack from an underground waterway, so it wasn’t particularly wrong until recently.

yes until recently.

As briefly mentioned above, the nobles residing in the capital holding mansions are obliged to periodically provide expenses and manpower for waterway management, and there are no exceptions.

Of course, there were nobles who had been purged for treason this time, and so was Enbelde.

Unlike other aristocrats who do their duty with a little more gold coins, there is no one who doesn’t know what kind of intention Enbelde has been steadily putting in high-quality manpower to manage the underground waterway, but the problem is that that period was too long. As soon as Envelde’s death was announced, the royal family directly proceeded with a large-scale purge, and even the aristocrats joined in to investigate the underground waterway in detail. I haven’t been able to figure out how to make space.

Most of his aides, who were thought to have played a key role, were the result of being decapitated by Eldmia.

The academy still hasn’t been inspected because it was doing a major inspection with the help of the dwarves, but the zero speed did not come out and the academy was still not inspected as it investigated the living quarters of the citizens who had no fighting ability.

“Did you make a hiding place?”

The odds are slim.

Rebellion in the capital is usually a short-term showdown. I don’t know if the passage to move quickly is recorded, but there is no reason to suddenly build a hiding place under the academy. The only possibility is to build a supply route using a waterway and build a supply base for it, but the Academy District, among other districts, is uniquely protruding from the side, so the conditions are not suitable.

“There’s no way they tried to occupy the academy with people without skills… If the academy goes into a sit-in, it’s highly likely that they only figured out the structure for a raid.”

They talk, organize their thoughts, and move their hands to write down on maps and documents on the wall. I deleted hypotheses that had no possibility, and also erased areas where the hiding people might have set up a base when predicted based on the hypotheses.

The hypotheses and plans that I came up with over three days of sleeping time and brainstorming with my friends were erased one by one, but the more I do, the clearer what I need to do. In the process, Cheryl felt a strange uplift and thought it was because it was an opportunity to show off her competence to Eldmia.

In fact, in her imagination, she was praised by Eldmia, not boastful, but Cheryl did not notice the subtle difference.

“I think I figured it out.”

On the morning of the 5th day after hearing the story about the devil from Eselua.

There was no need to ask what Sheryl’s first words meant when she appeared in the professor’s office, more emaciated than anyone she’d ever seen. It was because he predicted that it was a story related to cockroaches hiding in underground waterways, and at the same time he handed me a map and a document presumed to be reference material. However, because that look was so nonsensical, I pushed her a coffee and a Leica without even having time to open the document.

“Oh my God, I can see that I haven’t slept well. First, drink some of this and pet Leica.”

“…Apart from coffee, why Leica?”

“Ragnis says it feels strangely healing. There’s a good chance it actually works. I’ve also tested it with Seneran.”

Today, Seneran, who was in the middle of a clinical trial stroking the Leica like a caterpillar in his sleeping bag without fail, grumbled with dissatisfaction that the Leica was taken away without saying anything, but that wasn’t the point now. Right now, the child is tired and is trying to search, but is it important to be a person who is just trying to get rid of sleep?

Taking a look at our reaction, Cheryl took out a chair and sat down to take a coffee and a Leica. I looked away from her and opened the map. Then Seneran, who had been hesitantly approaching, subtly poked his head.

Seeing him start reading with a serious expression made me feel very reassured.

“What do you think?”

It’s not something to be hidden anyway, so after looking at it properly, I asked for an opinion.

“I don’t know. I just watched it because I was bored.”

fuck. give me back my confidence

Now that the academy is at the crossroads of whether or not to become Joe’s apartment, such a carefree reaction. Still, I couldn’t bear to look contemptuously at the position of mutual aid, so I took a short sigh and decided to focus on the words written on the map.

The contents organized in Cheryl’s elegant handwriting were valid even for me, who was not versed in military science. To be honest, I didn’t even know how to select the location, but just looking at it made me nod my head and understand it.

Looking at the underground waterway from the traitor’s point of view and considering the usefulness, the expected base area was selected based on reasonable grounds, and it was checked by predicting whether or not a surprise attack was possible and even the reconnaissance point through the attached explanations and data. By the time I checked and felt the urge to give a standing ovation, Cheryl added an additional explanation.

“It’s a conclusion that came after several discussions with friends, so it’s going to take something. If we knew the path the devil worshipers were able to infiltrate into the city, it would have been more specific… but I couldn’t find out because it was confidential.”

“Even this much is amazing. You know it because you commissioned the management of the underground waterway. I’m very thrilled right now.”

When I was wrong about 60% of the official data and waterway drawings, I had the urge to just tear them up. It happened almost when I first came to the capital, so it was a vague memory now. Sheryl burst into laughter this time, as if recalling the shared memories.

“When are you going to move?”

“I have to show it to Siegfried first, and I have to match the time with the friends who participated in the party you organized, so it will be after class is over tomorrow at the earliest.”

It was impossible today because I had to keep in sync with the people involved anyway. In fact, moving right away tomorrow is pure faith that I can handle it alone, so it’s more like a little hasty.

“So take a good rest today. I have no intention of leaving you.”

Above all, you can’t forcibly drag a child with dark circles to his mouth. I tousled Cheryl’s hair and smiled. Perhaps because she was quite tired, Cheryl just smiled.
