A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Sofia, a spiritual teacher at a spiritual cathedral, showed up to rent a house. When he heard it at the front door, Reurus leaned his neck while looking straight at him.

Still, I quickly looked around to see if there were any signs of people, but I didn't think there were signs of people to the extent that I could hear Sofia.

"The Bishop of Gregory? What the hell are you talking about? I would have slashed it a long time ago."

"Wow, it's a mess, 'Spirit Man'... it's troublesome to be hungry. I have a souvenir for you, so please treat me well."

That's how Sofia offered the green tea leaves in the paper bag. Reurus shows the door with his jaw while receiving the paper bag.

"Welcome home, sir."

"It's a terrible reaction to take a souvenir... Ah, Natalia. I came because I had business."

Sofia waves gently towards Natalia. Natalia, who saw it, raised her eyebrows with a moody expression.

"When I was going to sleep... shouldn't you sleep too? You spent the night with Miss Serras last night, didn't you?

"Ahahaha. I really want to sleep, don't I? But I'm here because I'm not sleeping."

"... I can't help it. Reurus, I can let you through."

Natalia decides it's important from Sofia's tone and gives her permission. Normally, Corona was the first to welcome visitors, and because the opponent was Sofia, Reurus came out instead, and went left and right as if in trouble.

"Corona, why are you making tea with this? How to brew....."

"If you steam it in hot water for about 20 seconds, you can flood it. Sorry to bother you."

"Eh, hah, yes."

Hearing Sofia's words, Corona immediately headed to the kitchen. Reurus, who dropped it off, sighed one by one and put Sofia through the living room.

"Ugh...."

"Mm...."

And Sarah and Neddy, who were in the living room, immediately raised their disgusting voices. In response, Sofia greeted them with a smile.

"This is... Sarah and Neddy, you're in a good mood."

"Just now, I'm no longer beautiful!

"... pu"

Sarah barks like a bite, and Neddy looks at you. Sophia laughed rather joyfully, though Zilba could have immediately ruled herself out if she had encountered a similar reaction.

"Well, that's terrible... if the spirits react like that, I'll be sad and sad and tears will come out."

Sofia used to wipe her tears, but she cried beyond doubt in everyone's eyes.

"If you're just here to play, I'll knock you out.

"Oh, I'm scared... I'm kidding, Natalia. As I said earlier, I came here for the Bishop of Gregory."

"... I wonder if I'm going to slap you or seal your mouth with that statement."

When Natalia spoke in a sharp voice, Sofia raised her hands to show her surrender.

"Please don't... I'm a weak woman. You can't resist with the help of the Great Spirit like a stupid sister.

"I can't pretend that a weak woman“ swims ”between court nobles while gathering in a cathedral... so? I wonder where that Gregorian bishop came from.

While listening to Natalia ask, Reurus gently takes a position behind Sofia. Then I tapped the handle of the "neck hunting" sword that remained on my waist.

"Ah, there's something really unpleasant behind this... this is how baron amendora is welcomed...?

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice the fashion in King's Landing... so?

"It's sad that my friends are so wary... do you want to keep this conversation going?"

Sophia shrugs her shoulders as she sits in a chair close to her, asking Natalia repeatedly.

"You don't have to worry about the source of the information. The spy I was lurking in Gregorianism... got caught badly, but somehow he came back safely and handed me three letters."

"It's a big problem, isn't it...."

Eliza was stunned in the living room. There was Meer next to it, but she kept her eyes round, not saying what she was saying.

"And in that letter, the 10th Bishop of Gregory, Thunderbolt... a daughter named Tina will accompany you to Reurus, so give me the letter... and Reurus, I have another letter for you."

"To me?

Sofia takes the letter out of her pocket and gives it to Reurus. When Reus received the letter in suspicion, he opened the seal and checked the contents.

Then, when you read the text silently, you finally sigh.

"Sophia... was someone manipulating that spy who came back?

"I didn't see anything like that. Ah, but it's not like I was being manipulated, but I was caught by a Gregorian dressed like a noble lady, handed a letter, and told to let go if I“ acted manipulated ”."

"... Rebecca after all"

It was short in the letter that Reus read, and even though the sender's name was not written on it, I knew who sent it.

--Looking forward to seeing you. My prince.

Even though it's short, Reurus thinks it's only Rebecca who writes things like this. At the same time, I wonder why you sent me such a letter.

"What is the content of the letter that Sofia received?

"Hmm... status report? What about the other person's movements... like that?

"Why is it so vague..."

"Sometimes I can't talk about that. What about Bishop Tina?

Sofia changes her story to make a fool out of it. Natalia stared sharply at the state of Sofia, but Sophia looked around the living room to escape Natalia's sight.

"I heard you. What can I do for Tina?

Tina peeked through the door leading to the living room. The fox's ears were twitching on his head, and he probably had heard about it before.

"... as I was told, Gregorianism drives even such a small child away. There's a limit to how many subhumans you have."

Seeing Tina, Sofia murmured a little bit more complicated. But as soon as he fixed his face, he handed Tina the last letter he had left. As soon as Tina opened the seal on the letter, she began to check the contents.

"That's why I'm here as a personal matter. Then I have to work as Marquis Farnes... Baroness Reurus."

Until then, Sofia had a crushed attitude, but she tightened her expression and corrected her posture. The Reurus seemed to know just a little bit about why Sarah and Neddy hated Sofia.

"There has been a change to the request presented to you by His Majesty the King. In parallel with the defeat of the dragon, may I ask you to investigate the daughter of the Duke of Doria and“ scout ”the Duke of Doria?"

"... aren't you in trouble? And what if I get paid?

Reurus asks, thinking that there's more work to do.

"If the Baron of Amendura intends to cede territory to Lord Reurus, if not, cede it from the kingdom closest to Baron of Amendura. If you are worried about the operation of the territory, you can send a deputy and leave everything to yourself."

"... is that all?

Natalia's expression is getting steeper. Realizing that, Reurus narrowed his distance to Sofia one step closer to Natalia.

"Of course, that's not all. The accommodation of immigrants who become materials and inhabitants if they wish to develop new areas like the Baron of Amendura. It's not going to be the full amount, but there's going to be some cost to the development."

"I have no choice but to decline the request for that reward...."

Getting territory, ruling over villages and towns, and developing them from scratch are just punishment games, not rewards from Reurus. As a result, Sofia smiles bitterly.

"I've been pulling other rewards because I was told. What about the granting of permits and“ hunting rights ”in the kingdom and in the aristocratic territories that they have endorsed?"

"Hunting rights?

"Yes, the land's nobles have the right to hunt, including monsters. You, the adventurer, would not have cared about those rights, and the lord was silent. I don't know if I should admit it publicly."

As expected, only monsters can hunt, but Sofia deepens her bitterness.

"... I mean, if you're in kingdom or agreeable noble territory, you can break in and hunt monsters as you like?

"Yes... the Lord is really responsible for exterminating monsters to keep his people safe, but sometimes that's difficult."

"But I hate to do that like a Gregorian... but as an adventurer, can I get paid for stepping into other lands and defeating monsters?

In the first place, you don't have to think about it as a reward or as a revus. However, since the frequency of encounters with monsters has decreased dramatically in the Baron of Amendura and around the abandoned city of Laval, it is gratifying to say that you can enter other territories to hunt monsters.

You can get monster meat and materials as a revulsion. From the landlord, the threat of monsters is reduced, and the cost of dispatching a leader is suppressed.

(Hmm... but it doesn't seem like a reward after all...)

If it's going to be so much trouble, you might want to take the cash and leave King's Landing as soon as possible. The unexpected voice echoed when Reurus tried to sue for a change of conditions.

"Phew... there's something weird going on"

It comes from the Dragon Slash, a voice that feels like sleeping. Reus was a little anxious to hear the Dragon Slasher raise his voice in the middle of the conversation, but I think he and Eliza are the only ones who can hear it.

"Who is it that suddenly says something rude... eh? Who are you really?"

However, Reus rounded his eyes to look back at Sofia.
