A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"... I was wondering if that's what the people of the earth call it from where they live."

It is now Meer and Dwarves who live in the house, but originally they used to dig holes in the mountains to form settlements. Even though it was said that it was the people of the earth, Reurus only thought that it was referring to the “ecology”.

However, Vanille told me that she had a different intent, and she shook her neck to the side when she heard Reurus's words.

"That's what I meant... Daughter of the dwarf, how do you make a nest in the dirt?

"Eh? Um... I'll dig with my bare hands.

Meer, who was shook up by Vaniel, answered confused. Meers and Dwarves build their own houses, but basically don't use tools. You can dig a hole in the earth with your bare hands, even if you want to connect the house to the house.

"That's it. Reurus, don't you think that's funny?

"What happened? If you're digging into the dirt, it's that big worm..." Castle Collapse "or colibo. You're doing the same thing."

Reurus recalls the colibeau, a monster of giant worms encountered in the territory of the Count of Velg. The giant, also known as the "castle collapse", was the advanced monster that Reus defeated for the first time, but he remembered a long time ago and looked distant.

When traveling, dig deep into the earth and fight for a giant body that is nearly 200 meters long. "Dragon Slash" is not damaged, and if all the Reuses now were together, they would be able to win without a problem, but at that time, I thought that they would be launched into the air and die. Above all, I was sorry for the muddy smell.

"That's what monsters are for. But Dwarf... the people of the earth are different. Reurus, how long do you think it will take you to dig a hole in the ground with your bare hands and make a negura the size of which you can live alone?

"Digging holes or torture with bare hands... No, wait, is that what this is about?”

Even if I work with 'Caloric Release', my magic will run out first. I was thinking about Reurus, but I realize what Vanille wants to say.

"I mean, what? Meer and Dwarf used earth magic without knowing?

That's how he put it, Reurus was just behind his head.

When I had just met Meer, she had been digging underground to get in touch with the Reurus, who were being followed by soldiers. At that time, it was "about the speed at which people walk”, but if you think about it carefully, it's not unusual to dig into the ground at that speed.

When Calvin and the others first met, they literally buried themselves in the mountains, but they dug up to the ground. If humans were in the same situation, they would be crushed to death by soil before they died of acid deficiency.

"Some of you might be able to use a powerful dwarf consciously. Has the" contract "with you increased your magic and allowed you to consciously use it, or is that the daughter's change..."

Vaniel looks at Meer with interest. Having heard such a Vernier's words, Reurus had a serious expression.

"You said that before I signed a contract with Meer, right? Mia might have something... a magical talent for earth?

If so, Vanier might have expected what would happen after the 'contract' was signed. Reurus was slightly lost in praising the breadth of the Fire Dragon's knowledge that had lived for centuries, or in anger that he should have told us beforehand.

However, Vanille leaned her neck with her arms braced.

"Hmm... I don't know."

"... hey"

When the mid-middle-appealing Reurus unexpectedly fell into Jito's eyes, Vanier began to look at Meer carefully from head to toe.

"I thought you might be able to use earth magic, but the“ something ”that this girl feels... yes, there is something strangely caught in my intuition."

"I'm scared to hear you say that....."

Others - who were told by the centuries-old Fire Dragon (Vanille), "There's something for you," Mia hugged herself anxiously.

"If you don't train, you'll be able to fight me equally... hmm, no. In that case, Reurus seems to be more applicable. It looks like it's going to get stronger, but I don't know how far it's going to go...."

Vanille frequently leans her neck because she doesn't understand how she feels.

(He says he's hundreds of years old, and there's really nothing wrong with him....)

I didn't know the longevity of the dragon species and said that Vanille had a longevity that seemed to be eternal, but Reus thought rudely that it might actually be stunned.

Still, the answer was not likely to come after a while, so Reurus once unconscious of Vanier and looked at Meer.

"I don't know if Vaniel's right, so why don't you try and see if Meer can use earth magic?

"Uh-huh... but how do I use it?

"Come on, let's put magic and temper on it and try to remember" Move "on the ground...?

Reurus can also draw Sarah's power through the Contract and deal with flame magic. However, in the case of Reurus, it was difficult to teach him how to use attribute magic because he exercised magic with his senses rather than reason.

"On the whole, it's not wrong. In Tina's case, it's the feeling of turning magic into lightning, but in earth magic, it's closer to being manipulated by magic."

It was Tina who set out the rescue ship. He crouched down on the spot with a faint tone, telling Meer how to use attribute magic while touching the ground.

"However, depending on the person, there may be movements that are easy to express magic. Simply shake the wand or incorporate it into the attack... if you can't use magic without those movements, it may be easier to remember to sandwich some movement until you can grasp the senses."

"I didn't think the Bishop of Gregory would ever teach me magic."

Perhaps the longest Reurus has ever heard. With that in mind, Tina slightly distracts herself when Reurus waves.

"Tina thinks the Monster Eater and her friends should be welcomed as bishops if they grow stronger."

"Really... thank you."

I do not intend to go deeper into my position, but if you have taught me something about “technology”, I should say thank you. With that in mind, Tina shook her head to the side as Reus lowered her head.

"Cost of living."

"... that's what I said."

I can't wait to be seated for a long time because I paid for it.

So while Reus and Tina were talking, Meer was working on preparing for practice. Squeeze the clasp and manipulate your magic to distance yourself from the Reurus.

"Earth magic... is like digging the ground... with magic... towards the ground... no!

Because of Vaniel's story, Meer shook her tongue as she remembered what it felt like to dig the ground.

“It's normal and natural," the fact is, I've done it before. Instead of digging the ground with bare hands, Meer knocked the hammer on the ground with the consciousness of digging the ground with a hammer instead of a hand.

And at the next moment, the ground touched by the hammer sinks greatly. It is unnaturally large and deep to think that it has fallen under Meer's arm. Meer, whose tip floated in the universe as the ground receded into a bowl, fell out of balance from the swinging down position and fell in front of her.

"Wow!?

"Ugh... did you succeed?

Realizing this, Reurus immediately held Meer in his left arm. And when you look at the sunken ground, you look at the unnaturalness of the sunken.

It is nearly two meters wide and nearly one meter deep in the shape of a splash bowl. No matter how much the "contract" increased the magic, it was too huge a hole for Meer to sink just by shaking down her legs lightly.

"Hmm... success is good for once. But what if the ground sinks... no, maybe we can create a gap if we sink the ground at the same time as the opponent steps in."

Vanille peeks into the ground with an intriguing face and says so.

"I don't know if we can do this in real life, but if we can do it, we'll be in trouble."

"But isn't this... plain?

Reurus looked curious when he heard Vanille's words, but he didn't like it from Meer, who had sunk the ground.

"Hmm? Even if it's plain, it's pretty hard to fight if you get in the way... isn't it, Mr. Collard?

"Why are you talking to me when you're desperately turning off the signs... ooh! Well, Reurus is right. Basically, we can only fight close, but if we can't get into the loose, it's difficult to fight and we can't help it."

Collard answers well even though he seems dissatisfied. Having heard such a response from Collard, Reurus leaned his neck.

"By the way, what would Mr. Collard do in that case?

"... throw with stones or daggers, or" trick ”the tread and cut it to pieces... it's up to you. It's hard for me, but if you step in and slay the ground before it sinks... it depends on the skill of the opponent."

Collard seriously considered it, and Reurus nodded as he did.

While doing so, Sarah, who saw the ground that Mia had sunk, embraced Mia with her eyes sparkling.

"Even if it's plain now, you can make it flashy from now on! That's right... if you hit the ground, a earth tsunami will come out and swallow the opponent!

"... like flying a chunk of dirt?

Never hugged like Sarah, but Neddy joined the conversation to encourage Meer. When she heard that, Meer blinked her eyes as if she was calm.

"That's right... yeah. You just have to practice now."

I don't know how far I can go, but I was able to unleash earth magic. In that case, Mia said that all she had to do was stretch her face.

…………

Eliza looked at such a smile with regret.

With the wand Natalia borrowed, you can use wind magic, but it's only as powerful as a breeze. When it comes to flame magic and ice magic, I couldn't grasp it.

Even though the appearance of wind magic is progress, the wind magic is invisible compared to Meer's earth magic. I could feel the expression, but I thought that Eliza would be distracted by the invisible effect.

"I'm losing focus. Envying others doesn't mean you can grow up quickly... you know that, right?

Natalia, who accurately discerned Eliza's mood, nodded unfortunately. Natalia laughs bitterly at Eliza's reaction.

"Meer's daughter has a piece of earth magic, and you have multiple attribute magic. There's a big difference in proficiency. Even if you can only use wind magic and thunder magic, at least twice as hard as Meer's daughter, your magic will not reach the same level."

"I guess so..."

When dealing with multiple attribute magic, those who specialize in one attribute magic will have a worse side. Even Neddy, a spiritual spirit, has two kinds of magic: ice magic and water magic. If it is possible in the case of Eliza, I will learn even the flame magic and ice magic to deal with four attributes of magic.

Eliza recharges that if she has time to envy Meer, she should practice a little.

Natalia smiles bitterly when she sees Eliza squeezing her fist.

"You should first understand how blessed you are."

"... are you blessed? Do I?"

"Yes, it may sound disgusting to me, but the amount of magic I can possess is largely due to my natural talent. It can be increased by training, but it doesn't multiply by many times the original maximum amount... I wonder if we can get quality training and increase it by 50% if we have talent."

While saying that, Natalia smiles to cheer up Eliza.

"Of course, as far as I know," he said. In your case, it is possible that you can use more magic than your maximum amount because you have a "contract" with Reurus... and even if you can use as many as two types, four types... or more attribute magic, so all you have to do is train. "

"Ugh... good luck!

There is also the pleasure of using wind magic. There is hope that it will be from now on. That's why Eliza nodded with a lot of enthusiasm.

――――

But surprisingly, Natalia shut her eyes silently. His eyes were sharply narrowed and he looked at the direction of the town of Speranza with a suspicious look.

"The sound of horseshoes... is small, but quite fast. And this sound of kicking the ground... is it a military horse, not a merchant's wagon?

"Huh? Huh, horses? I can't hear you like that...."

Suddenly Natalia murmured, and Eliza leaked a confused voice. However, Natalia did not return the words to Eliza and decided to cut off the training with a sharp expression on her face.

What came to Natalia's ear was the running-in sound of horses scattered around when he was leading the King's army. However, the army horses in Baron Amendura's territory are the same as those owned by Collard and his men, and I have not heard of any plans to have them run.

In other words, visitors from "elsewhere" - the Reurus who first returned to the town of Speranza heard unexpected words.

"Adventurer Reurus, we are your messengers on the count."

"... eh?

To an unexpected word, Reurus leaked a dazed voice.
