A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 517: One at the dawn of the night
The day after the recital and feast were held for the Baron.
Although it was the king's capital in the corner, Reurus did not go out and spent a relaxing time in the living room of the rented house. Natalia leaves Nicolas to run the carriage, but Eliza and the others love it when Reurus doesn't go out.
Corona has been cleaning the house since the morning, but she doesn't have anything to do, so she calls Tina, whose shoulders seem narrow, and does the cleaning while taking care of her. Tina seemed confused by the corona, but she seemed to enjoy cleaning with her.
I was thinking of helping Reurus, but Corona asked me to relax, and I was sweet enough to do what I wanted to do in the living room.
Just because I became a Baron doesn't mean I have to do something. I needed to think about my family name and crest, but I didn't have to decide right away today or tomorrow.
For this reason, Reurus decided to march into the living room in the morning to take care of his weapons and armor. Polish the "neck hunting" sword and dagger with a familiar hand, carefully polish the armor one by one from the parts, and take the time to care for the "dragon slash" as the final finish.
(Phew... I knew it would calm down...)
The “Dragon Slash" used to be the same, but the newly rebuilt love sword is great no matter how many times you watch it. When I was polishing my sword with fabric by applying care oil, the mental fatigue I suffered at last night's feast seemed to heal.
It was a strange thing, I wanted to try its sharpness if it was the previous "Dragon Slash". I wanted to try it because anything was fine, but now the "Dragon Slash" even felt calm when I looked at my sword.
Currently, the “troubled child” in Reurus' weapon is like the "neck hunting" sword, but the feeling of the previous demonic sword and magic sword stained is fading because it has been used for quite a long time.
I don't know what happens when others use it, but for Reurus today, the "neck hunting" sword was only a little bit difficult to use.
"But it's beautiful... woohoo, how beautiful you are..."
The bright red dagger reflects the sunlight from the window, illuminating Reurus' face. However, Reus did not care about the dazzling fragments, but simply saw the beauty of the sword.
"It's beautiful no matter how many times I look at it... I can't stand it... you're the best sword..."
Reurus whispers with trance as he stares at the polished sword. Eliza, who was reading a book in her living room, looked very complicated, but Reurus, who was obsessed with watching Dragon Slash, never noticed it.
(Goddamn it, can I borrow a place to swing my sword? Or are you leaving King's Landing tomorrow morning... now?
Instead of wanting to slash something, I want to expose my sword under the sun and swing it around as I like. That might be a noisy idea, but as a realuse, it seemed like stress could be dissipated.
(... no, I don't want to leave the house for today. Patience, patience...)
If you go outside, there is a “danger” that you will encounter the women who surrounded you at the dinner last night. I don't think so, but it could even be staked out pretending to be a coincidental reunion.
It is a well-known fact that Reus is “underneath” Natalia, and it will be easy to find out where he lives in King's City. Even though it is a rental house, if it becomes a building that does not damage the public hearing as an emerging baron, the number will be limited by itself.
In other words, it's easy to stick in...
(If you step out of the house and say, "It's a coincidence"... if you're overconscious, that's fine, but if you're actually caught...)
I can't stand being surrounded like last night. I'm tired of laughing 'hahaha' for hours. There was no way to escape or hide at the feast, but now there is no problem with running away or hiding or using a place to stay.
(... yeah, let's just stay home.)
When Natalia and Nicolas returned, Reurus decided to ask if there were any suspicious people around. Today, I decided to relax and devote my time to healing my tired spirit.
"Do you want to polish it again? But it's not dirty...."
That's why I thought about taking care of the Dragon Slash again, but I've already polished it enough.
Then it was time to finish thinking about the family name and the gate, and start wiping them dry.
Tickling.
…………
--And I heard something.
Reurus stopped his hand unexpectedly and blinked several times. Then she looked over her shoulder and noticed that Eliza was concentrating on Natalia's personal belongings.
(Hallucination again... no, is this hallucination?
I wonder how much spiritual fatigue I actually had at last night's feast. Although Reurus is likely to fight with his heart, he leans his neck because he remembers the voice he heard before.
You don't have to be shy anymore.
――――
I heard voices again. It is a clear voice compared to before.
The tone of voice seemed faint and made me feel young, but as a revulsion, it was no consolation.
("Idea call"... no, magic isn't connected after all... eh? Who, hallucinating?
It was true that the feast was spiritually painful, but I didn't intend to be mentally weak enough to hear hallucinations in just a few hours. If he had been so weak, he would have gone mad a long time ago in his native village of Shena.
Reurus stood up holding the Dragon Slash and moved to the window. And I concentrated and looked around, but I didn't feel any suspicious signs.
(In fact, someone is hiding nearby and talking in "Idea Call"... is there anything wrong? If yesterday's daughter was the killer, it would be a light horror....)
Though the tone and tone of voice may differ, a realuse that performs a “search for enemies” in the vicinity in case of an accident. The meaning of the prank was unclear and the purpose too unclear.
"What is it? Something wrong?
Eliza stops reading and stands up as Reurus begins searching for enemies around her while holding the Dragon Slash.
Did something happen?
And then you can hear me again. Even with a pale tone, it feels like you are wondering the behavior of Reus, and Reus murmurs without thinking about it.
"Instead of saying that something happened, it's currently in the form of a" yes ”...."
…… Um, it's really okay... what is it?
Eliza asks anxiously, but I can't be sure it's okay as a Reurus. Except for Reurus, Eliza is the only one here.
Therefore, afraid, Reus dropped his gaze on the "Dragon Slasher" he held in his right hand.
"Maybe... you can talk...?
As for the realuse, half doubt - half doubt their own hallucinations while calling out to the "Dragon Slash", and the voice returns to affirm the prediction.
Can you talk...?
"... you're kidding me, hey"
There is a clear answer to the inquiry, and Reurus leaks a groaning murmur. However, as soon as I thought that "Dragon Slash" had been put into the sheath, I stuck my fingers in both ears to see if my ears were clogged.
"Oh, no. Not the ear, but the brain... the heart? No, it's my brain."
You can't hear your voice normally, but your head sounds like a 'call to thought'. As a result, Reurus punched himself in the head many times, as if to check the condition of the old appliance, and then cheeked.
"Reurus? What have you been doing?... are you sure you're okay? Hey, you okay!?
At first Eliza was eyebrowing about what she was doing, but seeing Reurus start hitting herself in the head, she shouted “vegetarianly." However, Reurus couldn't afford to respond to Eliza and put the Dragon Slash in his sheath on his sword before he sat down somehow.
Reurus tapped the sheath of the "Dragon Slasher" as if he were knocking, and asked quietly.
"Is anyone in there... please come out if you are in there..."
"Reurus... was it so hard last night?
There was a color of pity in Eliza's eyes before Reurus's behavior, which seemed suddenly strange from the side. Reus, who noticed Eliza's tireless voice, looked back in a hurry and shook his neck to Eliza.
"No, it was really hard, but it wasn't! This sword speaks!
…………
In contrast to the desperate revulsion, Eliza's silent gaze has a gentle color in her eyes.
"Really... yeah, yeah, I did."
"You don't believe me!? Can't you hear me?
"Yeah, I heard you... yeah, it's okay. There's a lot going on, and you're tired of Reurus, right?
It was Eliza who smiled like her mother and affirmed Reurus's remarks, but she was obviously just talking together. As for the realuse, it is not the noise of the earliest hallucinations, but the pattern of "Dragon Slash" is gripped and shaken again.
"Hey, talk to me again! I can't do it like this in many ways!
"Do you want to talk?
"Look, I'm talking to you again!
"Yeah... yeah. Reurus, you're okay, right?
Didn't you hear the "Dragon Slasher" voice? Eliza stared at Reurus with her gentle eyes as usual. The rheumatism of the sight draws his cheeks in a great way, but immediately comes to mind.
I'm the only one who can hear you? No, can't you hear me without touching it?
The other day, when I was talking to Louis, I heard a voice from a distance, but no one else heard it. In that case, Reus wondered if it should be in contact, and pulled the "Dragon Slash" out of the sheath and showed Eliza the sword.
"Then touch the sword, Eliza."
"It's unusual for Reurus to touch that sword... but no, the sword speaks."
Ohayo
"Nhhhhh!? Talk now!? What!? Did you talk!?
Now Eliza could hear her voice too, shaking herself in surprise and taking her hand off the sword of Dragon Slash. And I stared at Reurus incredibly.
"Wow, you're talking behind my back to surprise me...."
"Why do I have to do that... I knew you heard me?
"I heard you... but what? Why, Sarah played a prank on Call of Thoughts?
Eliza leans her neck with her eyes rounded, but the cause is unknown even as a reuse. Although it is a loyal sword, the surprise was also won by the revulsion, such as the sudden chatter of inorganic objects.
When Reurus and Eliza are making a scene like this, the sound of people coming down the stairs sounds.
"Phew... what does Reurus touch...?"
"What's wrong with you two? I could hear you upstairs.
"... what's wrong?
Meer looked strange to Sarah rubbing her eyes while she was asleep until now. Neddy also had a strange look at what was going on, confronting the noisy Reurus and Eliza with doubts.
"No, I don't know what to say..."
"Ke, the sword speaks....."
While Reurus scratched her head, Eliza lost her sight of her suspicious behavior. Sarah and the others looked at each other and burst out small.
She laughs funny when she says she heard an interesting joke in the morning.
--Shortly afterwards, a surprise of three sounded in the living room.
