A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 540: Opening of the War Part 1

Tina, who broke up with Reurus and the others, was running through the woods alone.

I think it is okay because the revus was stopped, but considering the possibility that Jilba would come after it, it is a movement that occasionally runs over the tree and erases traces.

If Zilba were to follow us, she would have found traces of movement on the tree, but if Tina, who draws the blood of a demonic fox, tried her best to hide it, it would be impossible for a mere human to follow us.

--If you're just a human, you won't be hated by Gregorians by nicknames like "rabies."

It was Tina who ran through the woods, but occasionally her legs stopped clapping. He somehow turned his back, narrowed his eyes for a few seconds, shook his head, and ran forward again.

I was wary of tracking Zilba, but it felt like she was pulling her hair behind her back.

Unfortunately, your breasts don't tighten, it makes you sad. A feeling of loneliness passed my chest as I walked away from the fire in the middle of winter.

(... because of my mind... yes, because of Tina's mind...)

Tina tells herself it's just an illusion.

Even if you remember the loneliness, it's because you haven't met Chris, who is half the size of a twin sister. Tina thinks she can't help feeling lonely in her chest because she doesn't remember being away for so long.

That's how I keep moving for more than three hours. Tina stops her feet and feels weakened by her “quiet life” in the town of Speranza and the King's City.

"... rice"

What I took out of my pocket was an elongated cloth wrap. Tina opens the cloth wrapper with a careful hand, and the bread inside is seasoned with chopped vegetables and baked meat.

Please come to lunch, it was a substitute that Corona gave me secretly. Remove the water bottle from your waist belt and sip it to moisturize your throat. Was this also Corona's concern, or was it green tea inside?

"... I'll take it."

Tina chews on the bread after she mutters. Eat slowly because there are no signs of monsters. Take about five minutes to smooth the bread.

"... thank you for your meal"

Tina walks back into the woods, lowering her head toward a fabric that nobody saw but was wrapped in bread. At that time, although I was worried about how to dispose of the fabric I had in my hand, I worried for a few minutes before folding it into my pocket.

We can't leave a trail - yes, that's it.

And two days later, Tina was reunited with Chris for the first time in over a month.

Not only Mataroi, but also Gregorianism, which travels all over the continent of Cardiva, possesses a reasonably accurate map, and Tina, who was roughly smashing the topography of the whole of Mataroi into her head, took her feet to the place she thought she would "set it up here.”

A flat land that is far from the street and has little shelter. However, there are no towns or villages nearby, and the King's Army patrols less frequently. Mataroi is located in the northwest of the Caldivian continent, and if you continue northwest from the King's Capital, which is slightly north of the center, you will eventually reach the sea.

In other words, there are no borders, it is hard to see from nearby territories, and there are few patrols of soldiers. Such a place is here on the continent of Cardiva, and Tina decides that one of them is home to Gregorians.

As a result, we discovered the Gregorians and were able to reunite with Chris.

Chris's face, which has been reunited for a long time, cannot be seen because he is as foxy as before. Still, there was an atmosphere of relief from the whole body, and Tina relaxed her expression naturally.

"... Tina?

"... what?

Chris sounds suspicious to Tina. Tina leaned her neck because she didn't think she could speak like that, but Chris said something and cut off the words, taking out another fox face that was on her waist and releasing it to Tina.

"A little... yeah, nothing. This is a new side."

…………

When Tina receives the fox face, she tries to put it on her face. But just before that, my hands stopped and I raised my eyebrows small.

"... Tina?

Chris called Tina's name again. Tina shook her head small and then put a fox face on the call, which intensified her confusion.

"So... how was it? Rebecca wrote me a letter. Are the Monsters coming?

"... Coming"

"What's your strength? The other bishops care if the Mataroi National Army moves... Rebecca's doing the usual thing."

In response to Chris asking “as a bishop," Tina wandered slightly over the fox.

"'Monster eater', 'rabid dog', bloodsucker species, and... spirits are 'two'. The rest is a dwarf, but I don't think you should worry about it. And the King's army won't move."

"The power hasn't changed... but I can't be alarmed."

Chris mutters to himself. And thinking for a few seconds, he turned his gaze behind him.

"Let's talk to the other bishops for now. It still takes time to prepare, so I'd like to share my information first."

"... okay."

Tina nodded back at Chris's words.

I have not lied about the power of the Reurus. However, even though she said "true" - Tina was not sure why she said that.

"I smell... the smell of that spitting heathen..."

And Reurus was approaching the Gregorians in a different way than Tina.

The carriage is going down the street as far as possible because it is together, but occasionally Gilba jumps into the woods away from the Reurus and returns, slightly advancing, and then jumps back into the woods again.

That's Gilba, but she's not really following the Gregorians with her sense of smell. Only a few traces left in the plains and woods define the way forward.

(It really stinks and you're not looking for it... right?

Reurus was familiar with Zilba's behavior, but I wonder if Zilba would be able to find it with his sense of smell while chasing the Gregorians.

In fact, there are traces left - it's because of the Greeks who are very skilled, that they find traces that are “only slightly left” and guess where they are going and how many people are there.

Alternatively, Reurus thought it would be strange for Gilba to find out where the Gregorians were with a completely unfounded sense of Sixth Sense.

"I haven't been around much... but if we go northwest for a few hours, there must have been a flatland they liked. There aren't many Royal Army patrols, and the neighboring territories are hard to see... that's where those bastards seem to like it."

"... dammit?

"Gilba, I'm sorry about Radia's education. Can you please stop fucking around?

"Excuse me... I apologize, Radia-sama."

It was the “usual” Gilba, but Reurus laughed bitterly and cautioned because Radia reacted strangely. I felt like a toddler or a baby, but it's not strange to think about how long it took for Radia to speak.

Reurus and Gilba were not distracted when some of those listeners had conversations that seemed out of their minds. While walking in front of the carriage, he is constantly turning to his surroundings.

"Shouldn't you and Senpai decide what to do with the carriage? If the battle starts suddenly, senpai and the carriage may not have time to evacuate....."

"That's right... there should have been a village a little west, so why don't you wait there? I'd like to keep my food and search as light as possible."

"Is that the best... Senpai, can you give me my name if anything happens? If you still can't do it... yes, I won't say anything this time. And if you need money...."

Reurus explores the pocket and takes out the cloth bag. And when she threw it at Nicolas, Nicolas caught it with one hand and raised her eyebrows.

"It's heavy... what, can I use this?

"Ah, how much did it... contain? Well, you can use it as you like. I'm here to buy crops for the village, so maybe you'll be more than welcome to stay?

"Ha, can you relax sometimes because you're in trouble? But, I'm sure I'll be able to keep my feet tied... for now, I'll be ready to rest in the village in case the search is“ empty. ”

Reus nodded at Nicolas' words, and for the first time, he accompanied Nicolas and the carriage to the village. I don't think so, but it's not unlikely that Nicolas will be attacked or encounter a powerful monster on his way to the village.

Those were the Reurus who accompanied them from fear to the village, but the Gregorians didn't see anything in particular. Sarah's search for a heat source didn't seem like it, and she wasn't caught in Zilba's speculation.

As a result, only the Magic Stone handed over by Louis and the magic medicine purchased at the King's City pharmacy were removed from the carriage, and Reurus and the others were ready to search for the Gregorians before leaving.

(Well, if you buy food in a village or town, you'll soon find out... that King's Landing has already found out, or that it's been used in this form...)

Gilba stared where the Gregorians would probably be - but Nicolas stayed in the village with the carriage in case it was empty.

Still, Reurus thought Zilba would never get away with it. The opponent is a Gregorian anyway. Half of the jokes were that if Jilba were to get off the hook, we would have to consider the possibility that Jilba was actually a fake.

"If they don't gather in one place and are moving apart, I'd like to destroy each one... I don't want to lose to more than one priest, but it's troublesome to have more than one bishop."

"Are you going to take care of this...."

Reurus, who broke up with Nicolas, walked through the woods. The streets have a good view and run the risk of being unilaterally discovered outside Sarah's reach.

“Let me discover." On the contrary, there is a means to attack, but because the opponent's fighting power is not known, it was an unattainable option.

(I think the King and the court nobles have decided that there is some chance of winning more than they have waved this request to us... but you don't really want me to shred the opponent's combat power with total annihilation as the premise from the beginning, right?

With that in mind, Reurus and the others pass through the woods to the overlooking plains. Gilba's “destination” is still about two hours away - but Reurus feels like a stabbing death.

"Sarah."

"Hmm? Well, there was a heat source... but it's pretty far away?

While saying that, Sarah points in the direction where she felt the heat. It is the tip of a flat land where trees grow sparsely, hundreds of meters away.

(... hmm?

Reurus, who found the shadow in the distance, remembered a small question. I feel like killing, but I don't feel magic, so I don't think I'm preparing for magic.

(What is that... bow...? Not a spear or a sword... a stick?

Although it was not clear because of the distance, the figure seemed to be pointing “elongated rod-shaped objects” at the Reurus and the others. At the same time, the word "no" comes to mind when you feel the lethality increase.

"Hmm!?

Reflexively, the revus jumped forward - and at the same time, a dried burst sounded from afar.
