A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 521: The Tracker Part 1

A wagon of the Count of Velg who walks in silence. Reurus sighs as he walks away from the carriage.

"Who the hell are you... I can't buy you a souvenir stomach medicine for Mr. Collard?"

"I don't know if souvenirs are stomach medicine... well, I can't say I think that souvenirs for Goren deserve it."

When Reurus whispered jokingly, Eliza smiled bitterly. As for Reurus, the shards are no joke.

"Er... Reurus? I'm not saying I don't believe you, but is that true?... you don't really believe me, do you? Is that true?

Ruvillia asks for confirmation, saying she believes in Reurus as a precaution. When asked, Reurus calls out to Sebastian from the carriage window looking behind him.

"Sebastian, can you change the way a few times before you go to the bakery? Hopefully, it won't be strange for us to stop by, but it would be helpful if you could stop in front of a shop that handles weapons and stuff."

"Yes, sir. Leave it to me."

As Reurus speaks, Sebastian manipulates the rope to change course. Sebastian also drives the carriage along the route through the shop that sells weapons, armor, and even fruit at the house, as ordered by Reurus, because there is a shop over there.

The wagon of the Count of Velg turns the road so that it does not become unnatural - the wagon that tracks it also turns the road.

When I tried to stop the carriage at the store, the carriage in the rear stopped as I noticed.

Reus stopped in front of the fruit shop and opened the door of the carriage. He went out and called out to the woman who thought she was a clerk.

"Excuse me, can I have all the fruit in that basket?

"Ha, yes...."

The clerk's woman turned her eyes black and white to Reus, who suddenly came down from the carriage and ordered it, but sold the fruit as she was told. Reurus cautioned from the carriage while fishing for cloth bags instead of wallets with his pocket.

(I can feel my gaze... but is it less hostile than before?

While thinking about that, I took the silver out of the cloth bag and gave it to the clerk. When I received the fruit from the basket, I got into the carriage and closed the door.

Well then, Mr. Sebastian, please let me out.

Ha.

The Earl of Werg's carriage starts again, slightly delaying the rear carriage. After confirming it through the window, Reurus frowned as he rodented on the fruit he had bought.

"It's blatant... oh, this is delicious."

Orange-colored mysterious fruits - shaped like apples, Reurus equally expresses dissatisfaction and joy. It's not as sweet as the apples I ate in my previous life, but it has a natural sweetness and acidity. Reurus thought in the corner of his head that he would have Corona eat when he got home.

"Reurus, I want to eat too!

"... and Neddy."

"Yes. Don't spoil the chair with juice.

Reus, who gave Sarah and Neddy the apple back, turned his gaze towards Ruvillia.

"Actually, secretly... no, it's obvious, but isn't Mr. Lewis riding in the back wagon? Watching out for me and Ruvillia....."

"I don't think oniisama would do anything like that..."

It was just a joke because I didn't feel the magic from the carriage behind me, but Ruvillia thought a little seriously and replied. Perhaps the possibility of tracking my sister's cuteness is not zero.

(But Mr. Lewis wouldn't do such a blatant imitation... this is how they find out about the tracking, and the handing over of information is going to blow up...)

Instead of Louis, Reurus knows a nobleman who doesn't think he's the arm of a carriage. Speaking of people in parentheses, even if Reurus is the most vigilant Gregorian, he doesn't seem to grab his tail so easily.

"For example... what happens if I call you over here? I've been following you for a while, but what can I do for you... are you noble enough?

Reurus asked Ruvillia, who wanted to get in touch with her, and Ruvillia frowned in trouble.

"If it's a coincidence, until then, it's troublesome that the other person hasn't put up his family crest..."

"What do you mean?

"Though I tried to speak up, the“ superior "who is out with patience... in the sense that the aristocratic rank is higher, but if it was higher than our house, it could be troublesome."

Hmm, Reurus murmurs and spills his mind.

"Beyond the Counts of Werg... are they Marquises or Dukes?"

"The rest is royalty, right? I don't think so...."

"I am the chief of the semi-bar family... the chief? but you still can't?

The Baron is not aware of it, but if he can use his position, he should. When Reurus asks, Ruvillia looks complicated.

"The Baron is a quasi-aristocrat... if more than the Baron were on board, it would be quite rude. In the case of Reurus, I don't think it will be very rare because there is a backing behind Spiritualism....."

"As it stands, it doesn't make much sense to take such a risk... it would have been easier if the other person had acted directly."

I've turned my back, I've turned my gaze - it seems risky to speak up for that reason.

(It's troublesome... it's really troublesome...)

Reurus shook his head as he felt like sighing.

While doing so, the carriage slowed down and now stopped in front of the shop handling the blade. A blade is not a weapon, but a household item such as a knife.

Reurus opened the carriage door again and went outside, but saw the carriage he was tracking stopped, and then reached out to Ruvillia.

"Sarah, stay in the carriage... Ruvillia, can I come out with you? Sebastian, please be on guard in front of the carriage."

"Eh... is it okay if I go outside?

Ruvillia asks confused when she calls to see who the other person is hostile to. When he heard that, Reurus gave out his left hand with a smile.

"Yeah, I'll protect you if anything happens."

"Ah... hah, yes!

Ruvillia smiles happily and comes down from the carriage. Reurus took such a Ruvillia's hand and pulled it toward himself - he felt a strong, hostile gaze.

(This isn't about me... Ruvillia)

It's not directed at me, but Reurus feels a strong hostility.

"Ah... Ruvillia-san, my gaze is getting pretty strong, but do you have any ideas?

"... how do you judge the intensity of your gaze in the first place?

"Eh? Is that... a feeling?

Reurus blinked his eyes as if he had been questioned unexpectedly. In the case of Reurus, "sniffing” is a beast-dyed intuition, but Ruvillia can't do such tricks.

Reus stopped by Ruvillia and smiled, pointing at the knife lined up in the shop.

"The opponent is probably amateur and has no magic. I don't know the gender, but I don't think they're going to fight."

"... how do you know that?

Weakness of hostility. This is close to killing, but the lower level monsters are more tingling. "

Communicating the criteria for Reurus, Ruvillia wandered her gaze as she struggled to choose her expression. However, at that time, I noticed that the distance from Reus was very close and instantly reddened my cheeks.

"I mean, it's close! No, I'm glad to hear that, but it's close!

"Hahaha. Not now."

Without teasing, Reurus inadvertently relaxed his cheeks in response to Ruvillia's reaction. In doing so, I notice a man who thinks of the store owner is looking sharply while wearing his arms.

"I don't know which nobleman you are, but if you interrupt business at the shop, you'll be in trouble."

"Oops, excuse me... can I have a knife over there?"

I don't know the type of knife, but for the time being, Reurus gives me a small gold coin. The shopkeeper's man turned around and smiled and handed him a knife in a small wooden cosmetic box.

Reurus takes Ruvillia back to the carriage and calls out to Sebastian in the throne seat.

"Sebastian, have you made any suspicious moves other than the wagon in the back?

"No... if it's so obvious, I think it's a coincidence."

"In that case, it would be good if it was a struggle to take over...."

That said, Reurus had a bitter smile.

Afterwards, while occasionally changing course, Reurus went to the shop that handled the baked goods that Lewis had talked about before buying the baked goods, and then went back to the pharmacy, which was the original destination.

Meanwhile, because the carriage of things that fluctuated due to the opening of distance was tracked, I was forced to feel a sense of tension that was not suitable for sightseeing by looking around the market of King's City, but I had to leave it because it did not come out directly.

"Hmm... I really don't understand the purpose. Sebastian, you don't recognize the other guy, do you?

"I can't say for sure because I can't see the whole face with the fabric, but at least I don't know him."

"I mean, you can't shake off the carriage at a higher speed... because it's dangerous?"

If this was the situation where bandits were tracking us in the open, it would have been cut down a long time ago, but I can't imitate it.

In the meantime, the carriage in the back was a realuse that I thought would go into the pharmacy, but Sarah looked through the window to see if the current situation was unsatisfactory.

"Mummmmmmmmmm...."

"What's the matter with you all of a sudden?

"There are too many heat sources around and I think I'm turning my eyes, but I'm trying my best to find the heat source in the carriage behind me... Mmm, it's a little small...? Maybe... a woman? More than Eliza, less than Ruvillia?

I don't know how to tell the difference between men and women, but Sarah murmured as she concentrated so close to her eyebrows. Until now, Reurus had been searching for the identity of the opponent, but he decided that no more information would come out and began exploring.

However, the place is a market and there are many people around. Therefore, it seemed difficult for Sarah to explore the heat source in detail as long as she counted how many people were in the carriage.

"Is she taller than Eliza and smaller than me...?"

It was Ruvillia who showed how to take Sarah's remarks into account, but there would be a lot of people in King's Landing who met the conditions. At least Reurus thought so.

"No way...."

Ruvillia muttered as if she had thought of something. It was a Reurus who had doubts about it, but Mia pulled her sleeve unexpectedly and turned to you.

"Mr. Reurus, there's something wrong with the wagon back there."

What?

When I was caught by Meer's words and checked, I noticed that the lord was calling out to the carriage. It seemed to be in a hurry even from a distance, and Reurus frowned at the reaction.

"What the hell are you...?

While this is happening, the carriage doors that were just tracking the rest will open. And as Sarah predicted, a woman - a girl - showed up.

- Who is it? I don't know your face... hmm?

After confirming his appearance, Reus feels a slight discomfort. It was the first time I had seen it, but I felt it was already visible.

(Looks like someone... who?

When I first saw the Marquis de Grimer, I felt a blood connection with Nicolas, but not so “direct”. Reurus, who still thought he looked like someone he knew, saw Ruvillia sitting in front of him.

"Why are you here....."

The girl who got off the back wagon looked like Ruvillia whispering as she was younger.
