A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 488: Disturbance Part 1
The next morning, Reurus, like last night, turns to the back door of Dominic's restaurant and knocks on the door to let him know. I used to live in a warehouse, and I may not have to worry about it, but there are also words like friendship and courtesy.
Waiting for a reaction from the inside while thinking about that, the door opens after a slight noise. Then Corona showed her face with a slightly vigilant expression, but when she saw Reurus' face, she smiled reassuringly and then inclined her neck strangely.
"Mr. Reurus? What's the matter with you?
"I've got business to attend to. May I come in?
The reason Reurus came here is not particularly complicated. As I told Dominic last night, I wanted to thank Corona for cleaning while she was away.
Even though the situation was not complicated, Reurus' mood was complicated as to whether the conversation with Dominic last night had an impact.
…… If it's Mr. Reurus, I think you should just stay inside.... "
Reurus laughs bitterly at Corona who asks why she bothers to get permission.
"No, it's been a long time... I'll let you up."
Reurus walks into a restaurant while being led by Corona and closes the door. I couldn't figure it out after one night, but it seemed irrational not to use it as an excuse to visit.
"What, are you? What about you?
It was a realuse that stepped into the store, but I noticed that Dominic wasn't supposed to be cooking in the kitchen. As he leans his neck, Corona smiles and opens his mouth.
"Dad said he had some business to attend to. He said it wouldn't take that long."
"Really... unusual."
"Can I help you?
That said, the corona slightly tilts its neck, but at that time, the longer hair shakes smoothly compared to before. The Reurus who saw it somehow - really somehow shifted his gaze sideways.
"No... if Corona has time, I came to ask her to come and see the town with me. Looks like you cleaned the house while we were gone, and thanks for that... and, uh..."
I feel strangely uncomfortable because I talked to Dominic about it last night. His emotions were fresh, and while he struggled with their handling, Reurus decided to use the word of invitation.
"I've been out of town for a while, and I just need time to talk to Corona... can't I?
Reurus scratches his head thinking that he might have a better solicitation complaint. However, I was surprised that the impression Corona received was different, and I blinked several times with my eyes rounded.
"I have time, but is that... Eliza and the others together?
"No, me and Corona...."
“Good age” doesn't make any sense. As a result, it was a revulsion in the form of a slightly blurry invitation, but at the end, he stared straight at the corona and smiled small while scratching his cheeks.
"What do you think?
"Of course, that's fine."
Corona smiles like flowers, and Reurus strengthens the power of his fingers scratching his cheeks while distracting himself.
I was told to wait because I was going to prepare a little, so I waited in the store. Corona walked up to her room upstairs in a slightly rushed step, leaving Reurus sitting in a chair in an unspeakable mood.
"Phew......"
There's no point in sighing. It's not the first time I went out with Corona, but I couldn't settle down for some reason.
Sometimes in the abandoned city of Laval, Dragon Slashes and armor are kept at home. I wore cotton trousers, a shirt, a simple jacket, and a "neck hunting" sword and dagger for easy movement.
The wallet is filled with small gold and silver coins that have been accumulating here lately, but if you shop in Laval Waste City, it will be enough silver.
It is a familiar town for Reus and was born and raised from Corona. Nothing novel, but “with whom" would be more important than where.
(Looks like a middle and high school student who's confused about his first date... well, I'm not mistaken just for the age of this world...)
Reurus ridicules himself unexpectedly, but he is not mistaken. Both Reurus and Corona are seventeen years old, and in their previous lives they were just high school students.
(I don't remember it very well, but compared to high school students of the previous life, the environment is quite good.....)
He wasn't as tall as he is now, and he probably didn't have any muscles. Not to mention experiencing the battle of life as an adventurer many times, it cannot be regarded as the same because of its age.
When I was thinking about ruining my time, I heard a corona coming down the stairs in Reurus' ear.
"Thank you for waiting..."
No, don't stay at all...
Looking back at the shocking voice of Corona, Reurus unintentionally interrupted his words. I thought it took me a while to get ready to go out, but I looked back at the corona costume as unexpected.
It's not something I'm usually used to cooking or serving. One piece in a pure white blouse and a flared skirt with an outer hem stretching to the bottom of the knee, but in a slightly flashy and glossy beige color for the corona.
In addition, although Reurus had never seen it before, he drew a dim red on his lips, and his hair was decorated with flowers that Reurus had given him before.
"I tried to make clothes from the fabric Mr. Reurus gave me before... what do you think?
That said, Corona looks down at herself with the hem of her skirt picked in embarrassment. Reurus stares silently at such a corona trick, once he cuts his gaze and turns to the floor, he lifts his face up again after a few seconds and looks seriously at the corona.
Corona seemed to have tailored the silk fabric obtained in Rapari, a neighbouring country that Leurus had previously visited to “heal” Ruvillia, as a souvenir.
Because the fabric type is silk, it also looks like a slightly simpler dress. The freshness was intense because I was familiar with corona costumes so far.
"... ah, Mr. Reurus?
Corona's expression clouds slightly as Reurus feels anxious not to say anything back. But Reurus, who realized it, quickly returned to me.
"No, I'm sorry... it's so beautiful that I couldn't say anything."
And as your mouth moves, let go of your praise. There was a shock beyond surprise, but it was definitely the heart.
"Ah... uhh..."
Corona would have understood that it wasn't as light as before, but as sincere. If I think I leaked a mosquito-like voice, my neck and ears became red.
"Um... what, for now... are you leaving?
Reurus somehow waited for Corona's reaction to his remarks. Still, when I pointed my thumb outside the store to change the air, Corona nodded small.
It was a revulsion that left Dominic's restaurant with Corona, but the conversation didn't play as usual and was interrupted.
That might have affected Corona's outfit, but the reaction of the people in the towns that were on the road pushed it.
Reurus looks familiar to people in town, even though he is a little armed in his usual clothes. But when you see a corona walking next door, you tilt your neck like you see someone you don't know, and after a few seconds you look back at the speed at which it sounds, and you see it again and again.
Because there were so many people who showed such reactions, Reurus thought that we should gently kick them down on the way.
(No, I know how that feels...)
Is this your first time showing it to others? Corona is walking next to Reurus, but her ears are red as she reacts. Still walking next to Reurus without stopping his feet or telling him to go home.
Reurus also walks slowly at Corona's pace - but there is no conversation.
It was a Reurus who wanted to buy something as a thank you to Corona, but he was upset to the extent that the idea could disappear from his head.
(Something to talk about... should I have dressed up a little more? But I don't know how Corona surprised me... but I thought you might see your cute handmade clothes when you gave me the fabric... what? Why am I in the abandoned city of Laval?
A realuse that repairs your true face, but your heart is chaotic and disjointed. I can think about whether there is anything to talk about next to it, but I can't figure it out.
But so did Corona. Corona, who had been looking red for a while, asked as if she remembered.
"Speaking of which, you're going to King's Landing again, right?
"Eh, ah, ahh... yeah, that's the plan. Your wife decides when to leave, but in a week or two?
Reurus is fortunate to have this conversation with Corona. Once you start talking, the rest goes smoothly.
Even if we leave for King's Landing, we have to turn our hands to make sure that Natalia, the lord, is not in trouble. Even Slaus had been away from Laval Waste for nearly twenty days, so the process would take some time.
"Previously, Natalia was going to be a baron, but what is the reason this time? Ah, of course I won't listen if it's something you can't listen to.
Corona's ears are still red, but they are much better than before. Because of the height difference, Reurus decided that if he talked to Corona naturally, he wouldn't hide it if he was his opponent.
"Well, when I was in Speranza, a messenger came to me from King's Landing. I'm going to be a quasi-boy, so come by the end of the summer or something... but I don't think you're joking or deceiving me."
"─ ─ Huh?"
Reurus' words were accompanied by a dazed voice falling from Corona's mouth.
