A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Serious questions about Corona, which would be of paramount importance to Dominic.

A single daughter, the corona grown with salt won't hurt Dominic. Dominic didn't seem to be upset when he asked about the corona, but he was just seriously and quietly looking at the revus.

"No matter how many fathers I didn't mean to talk to you like this... if it's true, you and Corona should face each other and discuss it."

Dominic scratches his head seriously, but somewhere awkward.

"But I'm a good old man now... because I don't want to die with my heart in my head."

"Good age, oniisan...."

Whatever you say, Reurus swallows words.

Reurus and the others grew older, which naturally meant that Dominic had the same age.

We can replace the word "growth” with the age of the Reurus, but in the case of Dominic, we should say that we are old in this world.

With that in mind, Reurus looks at Dominic again. When we first met, the body that I thought I would play with was slightly thinner, and the overall tension seems to be gone. Even if I shake a knife and pot every day, I'm not immune to the effects of aging.

Dominic smiled bitterly at the sight of Reurus.

"At least you can't wave your sword like you used to. When you first came to this town, you fought against Kimiras and Gregos, but now you can't."

Moving away from battle, getting old, the flesh is declining. I've worked as an adventurer for many years, and since I can still use "Enhancements", it would be lighter if I were a rushing adventurer, but I couldn't hide the decline at the earliest.

"I want to say that I still lose to young people... but I think I'll beat Nicolas. I'm not going to die today or tomorrow, but I'm going to die from now on."

That said, Dominic carried the liquor into his mouth, but eventually he frowned as if he had drunk something bitter.

"I used to be able to drink a lot of alcohol in the old days, but now I have to refrain from giving it to you tomorrow... I don't want to get old at all."

"Oni-san...."

Reurus does not know what to say and wanders his gaze. But after seeing the reaction of Reurus, Dominic broke his face without saying that he had seen something interesting.

"Don't look like that. I told you I was old, but I'm not going to fuck you up yet. I'll live as long as I can... oh, yeah... as long as I can."

In terms of “real age”, Reus is not very different from Dominic. However, the idea of age is different in Reurus, who lost his life in his mid-twenties, and Dominic, who has lived as a human being for nearly 40 years.

Originally, the idea of life expectancy and life expectancy differed between Reurus' predecessors and the world. Some of them are close to Dominic, like Gilba, but they may be the exception.

"But it's a strange thing... because I'm old, I've recently started thinking about who I'll leave behind instead of dying. For me, it's the corona, and what happens to my daughter after I die?"

"Isn't that... obvious?

Reurus didn't have any children, including his predecessors, but I can understand Dominic's concern about Corona.

"Oh, perhaps it's only natural. After I die... it's more of a future story, but Natalia asked me if I could keep the corona with me."

"Corona? Is that you, as a cook?

"That's right. Natalia also needs to set up a mansion as a nobleman and hire cooks. As far as arms are concerned, Natalia probably has a lot to say about" trustworthy. "

I think Corona is good enough as a realuse, but I can't honestly nod if they ask me if I can serve it to a noble opponent. I'm sure Natalia thinks the same thing, but it's huge that she can be trusted even if her arms are awkward.

Though I hired a skilled cook, I couldn't bear the catastrophe of being poisoned by the hostile presence of the invited nobles.

But by mistake, Corona wouldn't do such a thing. In that case, if you continue to grow your culinary skills, you will likely grow into a trusted cook for Natalia in the future.

"That's why Sharon is being educated as a Natalian maid. I can be trusted because I have a solid identity and a long-standing relationship. Beyond standing as the first baron, I guess you want a man you can trust, even though he's capable... well, that's a bit out of the question."

Dominic laughs bitterly because of his age.

"That's why, even if I die, Corona won't get lost in the streets... but as a parent, it's safer to have the“ scaffolding ”as strong as possible."

That's how Dominic stared at Reurus.

"Natalia even says that even if my daughter is not a good cook for the nobles, she can have a new shop in the town of Speranza. But there's Natalia's hope around here, and maybe it's not what Corona wants... and if she really wants something, she wants it to be a priority."

"What Corona really wants....."

"That's right. But wouldn't that be the“ push ”of the parents?

Dominic talks with a light lick of alcohol, but Reurus doesn't drink alcohol just by dropping his gaze into the glass in his hand.

"But if you keep watching what happens, it may not change anything... so I'm talking to you even though I think it's an extra favor."

Will you leave your relationship with Corona “as it is”, or will you proceed? Or are you alienated by the development of Baron Amondola's territory? Reurus is the only one who can visit Corona, so it is probably Reurus who should make the decision.

Of course, you can't be feeling bad about Corona when you're talking about Reurus. Rather, I prefer it, and I don't intend to be alienated - if so, how far will I go?

(Corona...)

When I saw the growing corona, for the first time in a long time, I felt that it was the first time my body had been reborn and my heart was ringing. It's not love, it's not strong enough to call it love. It's just that my mind reacted normally.

If you've had a similar experience since you were reincarnated, it's probably the first time you've seen "Dragon Slash." Reurus remembers seeing something beautiful and his heart resounding.

Reurus took his own feelings calmly and smiled bitterly.

(I felt like I was feeling uneven since I got full, but I wonder if this is normal... no, in a sense, is both normal?

I even feel that my feelings towards others have changed depending on whether it is full of magic. However, I didn't know which was normal and which was unusual for Reurus today.

(How did you think it was your last life?

For this reason, Reurus flies to the time when he lived in modern Japan before he reincarnated his thoughts.

I've already worn out my memory, but I still can't remember everything completely.

I've worked like a man, I've fallen in love like a man, I've lived like a man. It was a revulsion that reminded me of myself back then, but I couldn't help but wonder if my body was different or if my senses had changed.

("I'm hungry” means that even if I look at beautiful people and cute children, I don't see any pins... I noticed that Eliza and Meer are growing up now, and I noticed that Corona has become beautiful...)

I was able to praise her selflessly even when I saw the beauty and the cute child, but it was a mystery that Reurus' own emotions were included there. Still, now, the feeling of "never using” feels stupid in my chest.

It feels like you haven't moved a single body in years, and you haven't moved a consolidated body in a while. It's been too long, and I think I even forgot how to take my senses.

But it's only natural for the “so far” Reurus.

Oh, I remember something.

--I know they're watching, but I have no idea why they're looking at me like that.

Who told you that? Reurus, who explored his memory lightly, inadvertently deepened his bitter smile.

(Speaking of which, Ruvillia told me... that I don't feel greed in my eyes.)

What about now? Even if I look in the mirror, I'm sure I don't know.

Reurus wondered whether the observation eyes polished as the noble lady had done so, or whether it was Ruvillia's personal qualities, and whether the girl who had travelled with her for only two months had emphasized her nature.

"... what's wrong?

Dominic sounded suspicious about what he thought of the bitter laughter. Reurus, who returned to me with that voice, opened his mouth while wondering about his choice of expression.

"No... I don't really know who I am anymore..."

"Well... it was a sudden conversation."

Dominic tried to say something after seeing Reurus's expression, but he rushed to the end of the story.

I suddenly decided that Reurus might be confused.

"I'm sorry... I won't be able to give you an answer right away, but if you let me think about it..."

"I don't mind if you don't keep me waiting for years. Yeah, I'll take care of it."

Dominique says so, Reurus goes to the back door of the store.

"I thought it was for my daughter, but that's not good... Does Natalia know?

Dominic dropped off the rearview's back and murmured.
