A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 484: Back Home Part 1

For the first time, we headed to the abandoned city of Laval, where we prepared for the journey and gathered at the east gate of the town of Speranza, but there were a few problems.

"Neither Chris nor Rebecca will come back..."

One of them is the presence of Tina, who slams the fox's ears while saying so.

The blacksmith was carried out, and the subsequent “trial run” took ten days. That said, Rebecca and Chris didn't come back, and Tina looked puzzled.

"In the meantime, I've heard about the purpose of Gregorianism... to go where there are other Greeks?

Reurus answers half of the confusion. It wasn't emotional, but Tina's situation, which could have been left alone in the “enemy land”, was quite remarkable.

Nearly twenty days have passed since the battle in the town of Lemona, and Tina has also recovered some magic. So it's possible to travel alone, but what if Rebecca and Chris come back after Tina left Speranza?

At that time, it's not hard to imagine what would happen if Zilba came back.

Even if Chris stays in Speranza like this, Zilba will definitely get depressed if he comes back. Even though Jilba (Tina) is a bishop, I don't think she will be attacked without asking questions.

(Because it's Jilba-san... I can't read the reaction...)

We fought together in the town of Lemona, and even after coming to the town of Speranza, we didn't imitate Natalia or Reurus before us, but we can't determine what happens.

Even if there were no riots, no Natalia, no Reurus, it would be Collard's role to stop it, even if it were possible to lay aside.

"It's impossible... it's really impossible..."

Collard, who was shook up, answered with his face pale.

If there is a problem, we need to deal with it as the person in charge of the development of the town of Speranza, but when the opponent is Gilba, Collard will have to fly the white flag early.

But even if we have some time to spare, we can't wait for Gilba, who doesn't know when he'll be back, because there's a deadline for Reurus' recital. At the same time, I couldn't choose to wait for Rebecca and Chris.

― ― The more time Natalia has, the more information Natalia will be able to gather and the more hands she will be able to hit as she goes to King's Landing.

"I can't help it... let's take this kid with us for now. I'll leave it up to Collard to deal with the two bishops who might come back to town."

"Nh...!?

Collard's complexion is becoming increasingly pale, but I can't protest because I can understand Natalia's judgment.

"If I tell Calvin and the others the difference in the number of people will stop me somehow..."

As for Natalia, the word 'probably' included a rare and hopeful observation. Natalia smiles bitterly and slaps Collard on the shoulder, as it makes him look worse and worse.

"Be a little familiar with difficult employees and people in troubled territories, including that. You've basically been talking about someone before, but there's a lot of" standing up "as a Baron... I hope so.

"Gu, mu... hah! Ok!

If Natalia says she expects it, she has no choice but to respond as Collard. Natalia smiled deeply at Collard, who responded naturally and upright, as she did when she was a subordinate.

And Zilba and Tina, and Rebecca and Chris fought. However, Natalia turns her attention to Vanier as another problem.

"So, your..."

Even though it's Natalia, Vaniel is lost in words. As far as talking to Reurus is concerned, it doesn't seem like it will attack indefinitely, but I didn't want to leave it in the town of Speranza without myself or Reurus.

"It's time for me to return to the Veos volcano. There's no sign of another“ crack ”in the town of Lemona, or the smith of the earth."

Whether you know Natalia's mood or not, Vaniel says lightly.

"Well then, Reurus, I'll be waiting for you to return the debt."

So Vanille turned her back on Reurus and left the town of Speranza - before that, she somehow returned with her heels back.

"Yes, there was something I forgot to say. Daughter of Dwarf... no, it's Meer."

"Me, me?

Meer frowned in trouble, not expecting to speak to herself anyway. Then Vaniel smiled a little.

"Whatever, Calvin is, but you were“ brilliant "... that's all."

"Eh? Ah, yes... thank you, thank you?

"Well, it's about refining."

With that in mind, Vanille leaves the town of Speranza in a good mood. Mia, who had dropped her back like that, leaned her neck strangely.

"Um... what are you talking about?

"Come on... he's in a good mood."

Reurus leaned his neck because he couldn't understand what Vanille wanted to tell him.

Regarding Vanille's departure from the town of Speranza, there is nothing in particular to say about Reurus. Vanille's stance is not to try to get involved in human life as much as possible without originally launching an attack from the human side. The exception should be thought of as having stayed in the town of Speranza for nearly twenty days.

(Well, it seemed like fun, and I was saved.)

If he had gone to Veos to fight for materials from the Vanier, he might have been different from the Syrah's messenger who visited from King's Landing. In that case, we might not have made it to King's Landing within the deadline.

Tina and the Gregorians fought and Vanille returned to the Veos volcano. The remaining problem is the power left in the town of Speranza, but it matches Collard with the dwarves and the adventurers.

It is a force that can be dealt with adequately if there are no out-of-standard opponents like Vanille or Slaus. At least the dangerous monsters that inhabited Baron Amendura's territory were rounded up by Reurus as far as we could tell. Even if they move from other territories, Gilba should be back by then.

(The monsters flying in the sky have crossbows, and everyone in the dwarf uses "Enhancements" to swing their weapons and attack... yeah, and above all, Mr. Collard is fine.)

Reurus nodded and looked at Collard.

"... what is that gaze? Why are you looking at me like that?

"No, but I thought of something stupid."

"I don't know what you thought, but did you really think of something stupid!?

Discharged by Collard with his head, Reurus and the others left the town of Speranza.

"By the way, what did you just say to Mr. Collard about that?

And Reus asked Natalia about it on his way to the abandoned city of Laval. He was heading straight through the woods towards the abandoned city of Laval without passing through the street, but in addition to Sarah, there was Natalia, so he didn't have to worry about being struck by surprise, so he didn't forget to ask.

"Oh, is that it? I think I told you, but we're going to put Collard in the lead commander. I used to talk to Eliza right before she came to me as an apprentice."

"Ah... that's what you said."

Reurus leaked a convincing voice to the words he returned.

"Mr. Collard, he had a strange blue face, but that's what I thought...."

And Eliza nodded convincingly recalling what she had seen with Collard before. But Sarah, who was listening to the conversation, looked really strange.

"Leadership commander? I don't know, but isn't that a revulsion?

…………

Neddy nodded silently to Sarah's words. She seemed to agree with Sarah.

"Reurus, you're the commander... that's..."

In contrast to Sarah and Neddy, Meer is smiling. I was wondering what to say, and in the end it seemed that I chose to swallow it.

Reurus, who noticed the look on her face, smiled bitterly and told Sarah and Neddy to include it.

"The Commander is impossible… I'll take command. All you have to do is move forward and storm."

Reurus is only convinced by the decision to place Collard in the command of Baron Amondola's army - in other words, the “General”.

If Natalia had told me to send Reus to the Commander, she would have doubted Natalia's sanity on the spot. Natalia was worried about rewarding Reus, but entrusting incompetent work to Reus was not just rewarding Reus, but also endangering those who could lead him.

In that regard, it was Collard who led his men there as soldiers in the King's army, later as Natalian servants, and then as knights.

And now that I have gained the status of Baron Quasi-Bourne, there will only be Collard, with the exception of Natalia, who deserves a commander in the presence of Baron Amondola.

It was a realuse that I thought would probably not lose one-on-one, but as a commander, it would not reach my feet. I've never fought while giving instructions to Eliza and the others, but I've never fought while giving instructions to soldiers as a commander.

Without the right experience like Collard, both the directing side and the directing side will be unhappy.

"Er... what about the union president?

"The president of the union... what about you, Sebastian?

When Sarah asked her with her lips pointed, Reurus was lost in judgment and shook Natalia. Bartolo, who was president of the Adventurers' Union in the abandoned city of Laval, might indeed be a good fit for a commander. When Reurus asked, Natalia put her hand on her cheeks and sighed.

"Bartolo was also a candidate... but he's old enough to be a civilian after taking up the knight of Baron Amedora."

"Civilian..."

"Yes. Besides, I have to arrange a wedding with Bartolo... so I have to go to King's Landing and try to reach out to him..."

Natalia murmurs with distant eyes. The Reurus who heard it slightly distracted himself.

(The president of the union, weren't you married? I mean, a good age... Ah, but you're over forty already? I wonder if it's a good age in this world...)

Reurus convinced me it was something like that. Natalia seems to have a lot of trouble as a lord, but it's hard to imagine as a Reurus. Rather, they are in a position to increase Natalia's “hardship” toward King's Landing.

(Collect the costume in the abandoned city of Laval... you won't suddenly go to King's Landing, so you won't be able to eat Ooi-san and Corona for a long time)

Reurus fleeing to a meal to escape reality with what can't be done about the Syrah.

Then Reurus took a day to rush through the abandoned city of Laval while chatting occasionally. Although stays in Natalia have been longer than planned, they haven't turned into abandoned Laval.

Reurus and the others break up with Natalia, who will have plenty of work, and head to Dominic's restaurant. Sometimes I want to get hungry, but Corona has the keys to my home in the abandoned city of Laval.

"Oh, that's Reurus! Are you back?

Monster eater ! What's the new town like?

"Just for the wilderness. As for the new town, it's taking shape, so maybe people can move around a little bit more...?

It's been a long time since people in town noticed that they can afford to go home. Not only Reurus, but Eliza and the others answered and arrived at Dominic's restaurant, opening the door.

"I'm sorry, I'm still preparing..."

Looking back towards the door, I thought Corona was preparing to open the store. However, when I saw Reurus and the others, I opened my eyes and gradually changed their expression to a soft smile.

Welcome back.

"Ah... I'm home, Corona."

When Reurus answers, Corona laughs with joy. It's a really happy, very beautiful smile.

――――

Reurus felt his heart pulsating with tokens.
