A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 528: Honest
Eliza looked at half of her face through the door and gazed at her. Reurus leans his neck when he sees it.
"This is a rare time... what's the matter? Something wrong?
"Uh-huh... before that, bye. Are you sure you're okay? Actually, it's impossible....."
"I don't think so. What, are you reluctant?
Reurus smiled bitterly at Eliza's words. I have been treated in the Catholic Church and am not in such bad health. Sleep tight overnight, and you'll be perfectly cured.
However, there was no alternative to expelling Eliza. With a bitter smile on his face, Reurus lightly slaps the bed on which he sits. Then Eliza walked into the room with an uneasy expression.
Close the door tightly and walk slowly, Eliza. I think Reurus saw Eliza like that.
(After all, you've grown in height... and your gaze doesn't change much when you're sitting on the bed...)
Reurus himself grew taller, but Eliza also grew taller. Sleepwear made of cotton - Eliza, wearing one-piece clothes, is not only taller than when she first met her hair, but also looks more grown-up.
Eliza was walking left and forth for a few seconds in front of Reurus, but she eventually sat on the bed, as Reurus showed. As she waited for Eliza to open her mouth, Eliza lowered her head small toward Reurus.
"... I'm sorry."
"Huh? What happened?
Unable to remember what Eliza did to be apologized for, Reurus strangely leaned his neck. Eliza lowered her gaze and muttered as she leaned.
"Today... if I could use wind magic properly, I could prevent the poison... not only from Reurus, but also from Ruvillia-san..."
Eliza talks like that in a tone of “vegetarian”, and Reurus rounds his eyes as if there was a meeting point. Indeed, Eliza was right, using wind magic would have prevented the poison from falling. But as for Reurus, I didn't mean to blame Eliza.
"If I said that, I couldn't suppress them before they attacked me... well, I didn't think I was going to“ imitate you like that ”, so I was stuck in the void."
It felt hostile and could not be prevented despite being alert in advance. I couldn't feel the magic from Seras, and it was so high that I shouted at the elite and made a noise. It would be harder to imagine that without "strengthening", the girl would smash the glass window with her thin arm and crush the poison bottle she gripped together to scatter the contents.
Not only the windows and poison bottles, but also the reels, such as punching people even if their fists were broken, were also surprising. If he had beaten down Seras before he attacked him, he would have suddenly attacked the Vicomte Lady, which would have made a scene of disturbance.
(Thinking so, it may have been difficult to prevent... even if Mr. Sebastian or I went back to my parents' house, I was originally Lewis's sister... a member of the family who served me.)
Besides, Seras is the daughter of another family, apart from the former Count of Velg. From Sebastian's point of view, there would have been something difficult to stop.
It was a Reurus to think like that, but now Eliza is the priority. He cut off his thoughts and turned a bitter smile with his gaze to Eliza, who sat next to him.
"That's why I don't care too much... if Ruvillia hadn't shielded me, I doubt I could have protected all of Eliza, so I can't say that's a great thing."
When Reurus said so, Eliza trembled small. And when she looked up at the revus with puzzled eyes, she opened and closed her mouth several times to get lost and then spoke.
"Um, and... there's one more thing I want to ask..."
"... what do you want to hear?
Intuitively, Reurus realizes that Eliza's atmosphere will ask questions. And Eliza answered the question in support of her intuition.
"Ruvillia said she likes Reurus..."
"... ahh"
Reurus thinks you heard it. Therefore, I did not imitate it in a deceptive way, but nodded heavily and showed it.
"... yeah, I knew Ruvillia-san said" yes ”... but..." I was shaken once ”..."
"I can't tell you the details without Ruvillia... but it means the same thing."
When Reurus answered, Eliza closed her mouth and pulled her lips together. The expression had a dark color of doubt, but eventually I opened my mouth again with fear.
"So... what do we do this time?”
…………
In response to the question, Reurus turned to the universe and asked how he had answered it.
Unlike “last time”, I haven't responded to anything this time. It is true that there was no time or space to reply, but it would be unreasonable to pretend not to have heard and return to Speranza.
"If Reus became a baroness, it's not impossible to marry the second daughter of the Earl... If the first associate baron was against him," in the future ”would be enough as a connection... and more importantly, that's what Ruvillia wants...?
…………
"I'm sure Lewis won't stop... even if he says he's cured and he's feeling better, the story of illness is spreading, and he's been poisoned so badly by this incident... because I think Lewis is Luviria's wedding... and I think he's the best opponent..."
In response to the silent Reurus, Eliza stated her thoughts.
"If you think of me as a member of a quasi-aristocrat, you and Ruvillia..."
"Eliza."
It was a small call, but that stopped Eliza's words. Not particularly angry, Eliza trembled, fearfully staring at Reurus.
The eyes were filled with tears - Reurus threw away various thoughts that had come to mind.
Both the events of Serras and Mataroi's aristocratic situation, which was unimaginable and unpredictable in Reurus, even drove him out of his head to become a Baron.
"I hate to talk about this now... but I don't know, I just didn't get the chance to talk about it..."
Reurus scratches his head and laughs in trouble.
"Actually, I look like a 'rarity'... do you know a 'rarity'?
When asked, Eliza shook her head sideways in a confused manner.
"Well... then I'll ask you one question, how old do you think I am?
"... seventeen years old"
"Oh, that's the age in this world. In fact, he died once in other worlds, and in his last life, he was over forty years old."
Speaking like that, Reurus briefly explains' rarity '. Eliza seemed confused about what she was talking about, but as the story progressed, she changed her expression as if she was convinced of something.
"... I see. Sometimes I think it's strange, but it makes sense...."
"Weird? There's something I don't quite understand about words, so I can't deny it if they say it's strange...."
"Yeah... there are words, but there's a lot more... oh, yeah, that's right..."
Eliza nodded repeatedly as she was convinced that she didn't look suspicious when she heard Reurus.
"What? I wonder if that reaction was unexpected....."
"Because from Reurus, I only look like a child, right? I was wondering if you weren't interested in younger girls, or if it was bad for you to have small breasts or tall breasts..."
…………
Reurus again silences Eliza's remarks. She wondered how she should react to Eliza, who seemed to think she was just hitting on her favor no matter how she heard it wrong.
"If I knew you, you'd be about the same age difference as Dominique and Corona... well, that's why..."
Eliza murmured convincingly, but Reurus waited for it.
"Ah... I'm sorry I misled you. It's true that there's an age difference, but there's more to it than that...."
"Problem?"
"Ah... not right now, but when the magic drops below a certain amount, my thoughts and feelings go crazy."
That's how Reurus pointed his finger at his head, followed by his abdomen.
"Specifically, would it be more appropriate to say that non-appetite cravings... are too strong for you to think of anything else? I don't even feel sleepy anymore."
"... I'm so convinced."
Exploring Reurus' “Until now” "in her memory, Eliza murmured heartily. However, he leaned his neck as soon as he remembered the doubt.
"Now that you're not... is" you ”the real Reurus...?
"No... it was me before and still is. I'm just saying," What do you think? "
When Reus said so, Eliza raised her eyebrows half convinced and half doubted.
"I'm glad I found out the secrets of Reurus... but what about Ruvillia..."
"Well, I can't say I care about the opposite sex. The feelings around here seem crazy, Eliza... I care about you and I love you, but it's honest that Ruvillia can't say" yes. ”
"... I'm glad you said that, but marriage between nobles is not good or bad..."
Hearing Reurus's words, Eliza leaned down with a little light. But when he heard that, Reurus smiled unexpectedly.
"In the country I was in before I died, I hardly ever saw a political marriage. We like each other... yeah, financially, but basically we go out with each other and get married. I can't help but feel uncomfortable with that feeling..."
Seventeen years after I was born in this world, I can't tell Reurus whether it's just because I'm “full” or because I don't feel like my previous life has faded.
"I honestly don't know if it's for the house or because it's noble. I like Ruvillia, but when she asks me if I'm going to marry her...."
So I won't even say yes, but the answer to Eliza's question is “yes.”
"Yes, what..."
But Eliza's reaction was somehow misguided. Still noticing Reurus's gaze, Eliza raised her face and smiled small.
"... but I'm glad to hear the secret of Reurus. It's called" rarity. "
"Oh, I didn't know that until I asked your wife."
When Reurus answered, Eliza's expression instantly solidified.
"Natalia... yeah, Master knew about it... so you taught me the second thing?
"Nh, nh... the second person, huh? After I talked to my husband, I also explained the situation to Vaniel and asked him about it...."
"I'm not a human, I'm a bloodsucker!? And third slower than Vaniel!?
As Eliza screamed, Reurus smiled misleading.
