A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

It is late at night whether the date will change soon.

Reurus, who was asleep in his room, woke up unexpectedly opening his eyes and being careful not to make any noise.I checked the surrounding situation and changed the mouth to a bitter smile while trying not to speak up.

After telling Eliza and the others about their marriage to Ruvillia and confirming their "will," Reurus took a bath together and slept together as Neddy wanted.

However, it was Sarah who waited for it, and Sarah entered the bathhouse randomly.As expected, Eliza and Meer were shy and did not enter the bath, but when it was time to go to bed, they came to the room of Reurus with a futon.

As a result, he put the futon down on the floor, and Radia said something, so he slept with the whole family.

Looking around in the sight familiar with the darkness, Reurus deepened his bitter smile at the unwritten "state" of the "river" depicted by sleeping Eliza and others.

The word "state" is inaccurate because of the height difference, but in addition to Eliza, Sarah, Meer, and Neddy in Reus, Radia, who fits in the sheath at the end, deliberately put her on the futon.

Radia doesn't hear you, but Eliza and the others will hear you breathing, so you must be asleep.

What's wrong?

"A little... no, I have an important business to attend to.Can you keep Radia asleep?

Yes.

The question arose as to whether the sword would fall asleep, but when Radia replied, she remained silent.Reus, who confirmed it, once again confirmed that Eliza and the others were asleep, stood up silently and opened the door of the room and went out into the hallway.

In the daytime, Eliza and the tenants are commensurately noisy, and when they fall asleep, they become naturally quiet.Reurus walked quietly down the hallway to the cooking room on the ground floor and looked silently.

Despite the late hours, the lights are slightly leaking.After seeing it, Reurus consciously made a footstep and opened the door to the cooking hall with care as usual.

"... Mr. Reurus?

"... hey, Corona"

Corona was in the kitchen.He seemed to be cooking the next morning's meal with candle lights, holding a knife in his hand, and placing several peeled vegetables on the cutting board.

Corona opened her eyes when she realized that it was Reurus who opened the door, but immediately turned her gaze back on the chopping board and opened her mouth.

"What are you doing late at night?

"That's my dialogue too... it's really late at night, so I think it's time to cut up and get some sleep for breakfast tomorrow."

"Yeah... that's right.I'll sleep when this is over. "

A corona that cuts leafy vegetables while saying so.Having seen such a corona, Reurus laughs ambiguously while struggling to choose his expression.

Dominic's restaurants are open until late at night, and it is not uncommon for the corona to wake up until the time it is now, since the next day's cooking is done lightly when the restaurant is closed.But it's not Dominic's restaurant now, it's King's City, and no matter how much Reurus they eat, they don't have to be ready till late at night.

Sleep earlier, wake up when the sun starts rising, and start cooking when you no longer need candles and other lights - that's how it should be.

Not to mention how much food was being prepared, the corona immediately cut its gaze and returned to cooking.

There was...

…………

There is no way to ask “Sole."Reurus stared silently at Corona's back, just as time went by.

(I wonder... what this is?It's like rejection....)

Beyond her back, she seemed to know how Corona was feeling.And it is an emotion that has never been pointed at by Corona before.

"... did something happen?

When Reurus was confused, a voice of doubt flew from Corona.However, as usual, the line of sight does not change, and it is a question of cutting the leafy vegetables at hand.

It is dangerous to keep an eye on your hand while you cook, and you understand Reurus.However, in the air that seemed like nothing else, Reurus opened his mouth with confusion.

"I just wanted to talk to Corona.I was wondering if it was time for you to go to sleep and come talk to me... hahaha... "

That's right.

"Haha, haha...."

Reurus can only raise a dry laugh in response to too pale a reaction.But the laughter also dissolved in the darkness of the room, and Reurus closed his mouth.

(The air is... heavy...)

There was a different sense of tension than when fighting strong enemies.Perhaps Corona is as usual, and Reurus is just “feeling negative” on his own, but the air feels too heavy to be confused.

(Shouldn't we leave here once and change the day?

It was a reflux conscious of retreating, such as talking so late at night, but I whisper that it is not good to retreat like this.

But there was also a certain doubt about how to cut out the story against Corona.

(You're going to marry Ruvillia, and Eliza was on hold that day, but you're going to marry Meer... even if I shake this up, what kind of reaction am I asking Corona...)

At least we'll have to talk about marrying Ruvillia properly.Regarding Eliza and the others, we have just put the "present relationship” in its proper form, but with regard to Ruvillia, it is also a conversation between the house of Count Velg and the house of Reurus, who became an associate baron, and it has nothing to do with Corona.

(... there's no reason... to talk to Corona...)

Regarding Eliza and the others, Ruvillia also admitted it.

He has a 'contract' with Reurus and is a companion and a 'family' to fight with.Not just Ruville, not even Louis, was talking about Eliza and the others.

If you look at it, what is the relationship between Reus and Corona?

For Reus, Corona is a lifesaver, a companion of the abandoned city of Laval, an important existence - is there anything else we can do?

(What's my relationship with Corona...?

There is no doubt that it is important to Reurus.If it's for Corona, I can risk my life without hesitation.Whatever the circumstances, I would like to put in a comic book as a Reurus, but if it were not for Vanille, Corona would die, and even if I knew I couldn't win, I would be ready to die.

Corona is enough to risk her life.That's for sure. As for Reurus, I can assure you that.

(Apart from what Corona thinks...)

Reurus feels that Corona cares about herself, not for herself.But what kind of time is it?

What does Corona think about going out and talking one-on-one late at night like this?

(But you can't just keep quiet.)

Still, I thought I should explain the current situation from my own mouth as a revulsion.Later, someone else told me about it, and it was too unjust.

With that in mind, Reurus takes a deep breath, calms down and opens his mouth.

"Corona."

"... yes"

When you call your name with a serious voice, the corona returns a voice.However, I only trembled my shoulders slightly and did not look back.

"I went to the Count of Werg's house today and it was decided... no, it was decided."

It is rude of Ruville to make a mistake there.That's why Reurus emphasizes and says it's his decision.

"I'm the second daughter of the Count of Velg... marrying Ruvillia.This is the story of the other master, Louis, and my guardian, Jin.But in this story, "

Congratulations.

Try to stop Reurus from talking and Corona will say a few words of congratulation.However, the expression could not be seen because the voice was stiff and only the back was still visible.

"Ah, ah... thank you, Corona.I just want to talk to you for a second... "

Dan and the knife mutilate the root vegetables.Either because it was midnight or because the corona was so powerful, the blade of the knife that ate a little into the cutting board reflected the candle fire.

"Congratulations..."

…………

Reurus had no words to return to the squeezing voice of Corona.Still, Reurus returns to me in a few seconds and gets one step closer to Corona.

"Corona, I..."

"--I don't want to hear it!

Was it bad to wonder what to tell, or was the topic itself bad?

Or was it a mistake to get around?

With Corona's anger like he had never heard before, Reurus stopped moving as if his stepped foot had changed to metal.

"I...."

With that in mind, Corona's eyes were filled with tears.However, seeing Reurus' expression unnaturally interrupts the words and breaks his expression - pulling his lips together at the inch.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry I took a terrible attitude... but I don't want to hear it right now..."

Reurus slowly pulled the stepped foot into the distracted corona.

Still, reason complains that you should say something and act, but no clear words come out of your mouth.

"... I'm sorry, Mr. Reurus... good night"

Corona leans over in the immediate vicinity of Reurus looking for words.Reus grabbed Corona's arm aggressively, but his right hand, stretched out hesitantly, cut through the sky.

…………

Reurus looks at the air in his right hand and sits on the floor with his hips down.Then he turned his right hand into the shape of a fist and hit his forehead, sighing deeply.

(Even if I grabbed my arm... what was I trying to say...)

Did you say "something” in the first place?What Ruvillia and Eliza said to each other didn't come out of their mouths.

Reurus sighed again and his gaze turned to the corner of the kitchen.What was there were sealed bottles of wine, and Reurus managed to grab one of them.

Then I shaken the bottle and the chapout came back.

If you get drunk, you may be able to rush, but I don't remember getting drunk since I became a "present body".In the first place, what do you say with the momentum of being drunk?

Still, if you get drunk, your mood may have changed slightly.What does the chest pain that sounds more than being stabbed with a blade indicate?

(I've mourned the fact that I can't get drunk... but I don't want to.)

--Today, it was a revulsion that I think my body hates.
