A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 529: The Great Problem Part 1

The day after dawn.

Last night, after talking to Eliza, it was a sleeping revus, but when I woke up early in the morning, I checked my condition and nodded small.

(The effects of poison... well, can you ignore them?)

It feels slightly uncomfortable, but it is not so painful. For the time being, Reurus leaves his room and goes down to the living room on the ground floor. There was no sign that Eliza and the others were awake because it was a little early, but there were signs of people in the living room.

"... you're up. How's it going?

Then Natalia, who looked tired, sat in the chair. Reurus, who noticed the state of Natalia, lowered his head with regret.

"I wonder if it's a bump. So you didn't come home last night... did you stay so long?

Reurus was poisoned, so he was told to go home and rest first, but Natalia, who ordered it, stayed in the cathedral and cleared up all sorts of "trouble”. Sigh tirelessly before breakfast prepared by Corona.

"It's been a long time, and it's not over yet... for now, I'm interrupting my schedule and heading to the royal castle, so please get ready after a little while"

"... eh? Do you need to go to the castle again?

Reurus asked reflectively when he heard Natalia's words.

Rather than the royal castle, I wanted to escape from the king's capital as soon as possible and return home, but I also needed to reply whether I would take out the dragon that King Leonardo had spoken to me about. However, in this case, it will be about the incident that occurred yesterday.

"Exactly in the King's City... and the people of the King's City have been“ imitated like that ”in the place where it was loosened up, so I can't help but receive the call. Even if I call you, you're a victim, so you'll be listening to me."

"I don't know...."

"That's what it is. The Counts of Werg and Doria and me... but the Counts of Doria are on their way to the realm, so we'll be the only ones to talk to first. And then the mother of the junkie... what will happen to the daughter of Countess Doria...?"

The first half was told by Reurus, but the second half was Natalia murmuring to summarize her thoughts. Compared to normal Natalia, it looked like she was distracted, but as a realus, I can only thank Natalia for running away to clean up her own mess.

"I think that's exactly what's going to happen... but if it's all that noise, you'll hear it, and Ellio and the others are looking for it, right?

"Yes... but you didn't hear that I was found before I came back here. There are soldiers on their way to the villa of Viscount Doria's house, so I'm sure you'll find out if you don't want to go home...."

Natalia raised her face like she remembered something.

"Speaking of which, I have a message from Lord Lewis. The truth is, Lord Ruvillia told me to tell you, but he couldn't tell you about it."

"So, the King was talking about killing the dragon? Mr. Bernard said he hadn't heard the report of finding the dragon...."

This incident is troublesome, but I can only feel the stink when it comes to killing dragons. Natalia sighs as she agrees as Reurus stares.

"Yes... it looks like Lord Lewis reached out and checked, but I'm very suspicious if there are any dragons. They've heard stories from merchants and their surroundings, but if there are dangerous monsters like dragons, there will be fewer merchants and travelers who use the western streets. Rather, it seems that they now feel" less monsters "safe.

"I see, the information from the merchants who travel the streets... that's going to be helpful."

The presence or absence of dangerous monsters would be a matter of death and death for merchants traveling the streets and transporting goods. If it's a junior or intermediate monster, you might be able to do something with an armed escort, but if you're dealing with a sub dragon that can fly in the sky, you won't be able to do with a semi-sustainable escort. If there were such a monster, the information would come out immediately.

"There are no dragons, but there are fewer monsters... are the Gregorians up to something, or are the kings who brought this story and the surroundings up to something?

"Well... I can say anything that's possible. How about that bishop Rebecca? You were manipulating the Winged Dragon, weren't you?

"Well... I don't know if he's a Gregorian, or if he's the one with the highest priority..."

And as far as Reurus knows, this kind of circular imitation will not come true with regard to its “purpose”. Rebecca had a bad faith that she would be on her way as soon as everything was over.

"Well, if we go to the royal castle today, His Majesty and the court sparrow may give us new information. Let's fix the problem now."

"Is that right...?

When Reurus was talking to Natalia, he heard several people coming down from upstairs. As a result, Eliza, Sarah, Meer, and Neddy in their bedtime clothes came down.

Oh, good morning.

"Ah... yeah, good morning"

Whoa, whoa.

Good morning, Mr. Reurus.

"... Ha ha!"

When Reus called out, Eliza and the others returned their greetings. Natalia, who was watching the interaction between Reurus and Eliza, leaned her neck suspiciously.

"Reurus... did you do something to Eliza?

"What? Why?

"The tone is sophisticated. What did you do last night?

Apparently, Eliza's tone alone immediately made her feel suspicious. Reurus scratched Natalia's cheeks with such sharpness, but Eliza wandered her gaze in a hurry and Sarah and the others hit her suspicious gaze.

"What? What did Eliza do with Reurus?

"Last night... eh?

"... what did you do?

Sarah and Neddy ask with pure eyes. Only Meer opened her eyes, but Eliza eventually opened her chest again.

"Ohhh... I'm not saying nothing. However, I know the secrets of Reurus."

"Ah, I told you something about my personality in the flow of the story. As a matter of fact, I look like a" rare man. "I wasn't hiding it, but I didn't really have a chance to talk to you... sorry."

"It's so light!?

Listening to Reurus' remarks, Eliza opened her eyes and was stunned. As for Reurus, I was curious about who I was and what I was, but I wasn't the earliest one to hide that I was a 'rarity'.

"What's a 'rarity'?

Sarah nodded once, but immediately tilted her neck and looked strange. Therefore, when Reurus explained about himself, Sarah and the others each showed a triple reaction.

"Hmm... so? Does that have anything to do with Reurus being a Reurus? My age is better than mine in the years since my consciousness was born."

"'Rarely'... I don't know if I've ever heard of it... but honestly, Reurus, I don't think you're any older...?

"... I knew it!"

Sarah and the others are slow to react because they're spirits and dwarves.

Sarah was overwhelmed that she was older, and Mia seemed convinced that she was somewhere like Eliza. And Neddy stared at Reurus as if he had discovered an unusual creature, but because it was a common occurrence, he didn't care about Reurus.

"Ah... you haven't told me yet. Because it's about you, I thought I'd tell you sooner...."

"Even so, I have memories of my previous life - and I lived in a world where I was treated like a bad guy. I don't know what's going on around here, but...."

"Is Reurus bad? I'm fine because I'm alone!

Don't you understand? Sarah said with a smile while tilting her neck. The Reurus who heard that didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

After that, Reurus, who had eaten breakfast, dressed up and headed to the royal castle with Natalia. If there is a difference from the “last time”, it would be that the "neck hunting" sword is put on the waist while dressing up this time. A dagger is also worn on the back of the hips as a spare weapon and can move immediately if anything happens next.

Unlike last time, I became a quasi-bar, so I was in a position to take responsibility, so I had to carry my weapon.

Naturally, if you pull out the sword in the royal castle, soldiers will attack immediately, but it is Natalia's view that it will not be stopped because there is a name to protect yourself in this case.

If there is a problem, just throw it in the carriage and ask Nicolas to be careful not to touch it by hand.

Reus thought so and stepped into the royal castle. Then, with Natalia, you will be guided to a room on the ground floor of the royal castle - a reception room and a room of thought. Unlike the rituals of the Syrah, it does not appear that many people use it deliberately to gather.

"Hi, I haven't seen you since yesterday. How are you feeling?

Then Louis, who was in the room, called out. However, as with Natalia, she looks tired as if she was working through the night to sort things out.

"I had a good night's sleep... and I'm sorry that Mr. Lewis was sleepy."

"Hahaha... I can't force you to be the victim and poisoned."

Louis continued his words with a bitter smile.

"Yes... for the record, it seems that Seras crossed the Pass thanks to Sophia's treatment. The poison hasn't completely cleared out yet, but for now, it seems inevitable to just die."

(Death is the only thing ", is it... too much to wear?

While nodding back to Lewis's words, Reurus thinks that in his heart.

"Before I came here, I checked on Ruvillia, but she was feeling a lot better... I think she'll be back when she's quiet for a few days. Again, I owe it to you."

"No... I hardly ever did that."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can't thank you enough."

"No, no... it was prepared by Axis's grandfather and I just gave it to him."

Reurus and Louis have a gentle chat to reward the words. In doing so, the door between the contacts is knocked, and the door opens slowly when answered.

"... Ellio? What's the matter with you?

And Reurus shouted doubt at Elio, who showed up. Ellio sighed as his heart subsided.

"I was called in as the person in charge of the scene... and I had a headache."

"A headache?

Reurus asked strangely how Ellio and the others were depressed. Then Ellio sighs again and then mutters.

"Ah... Miss Serras, the junkie in this case... I'm her mother, but I couldn't find her when I looked all over King's Landing. I thought it was strange, so I checked the gates of King's Landing and it was confirmed that I had left the west gate just before the incident...."

That's why they didn't get caught - Ellio told them so, and Reurus and the others looked at each other.
