A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Oh... finally... you're finally back!"

It was Collard who greeted Reulus and the others with such words, who appeared more sluggish than before.

Perhaps the envoys were on their way, so they knew of the arrival of Reulus and the others, but they still felt somewhat relieved.

Currently, Corrado, who is the person in charge of the site and the position of associate baron, greeted himself when he explored the territory of Baron Amendola, so it can be seen that he sincerely waited for the return of Reulus and others.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Collard." Ahh... is that all right? I feel like I've lost weight before..... "

Reulus, who saw Collard's face, greeted him and asked unexpectedly. Compared to the Collard in his memory, his face was oozing with hardship and fatigue.

"In the absence of the lord, it was a little... no, it was very difficult..."

Collard murmured as he smiled as his exhaustion grew stronger. Reulus tilted his head to see what had happened to him.

“Is there something wrong with reclamation? Did a strong monster appear?"

"No, the development is going well." It's all about monsters... but it's hard for me to capture adventurers as soldiers in the realm, and when the Calvin's Dwarves get drunk and rampage... "

Collard had distant eyes when he said that. Reulus smiled bitterly, saying that he was having a tough time in the capital, but Corrado was having a tough time in Corrado.

"Hahaha, you guys seem as good as ever." Anyway, it's been a long time, Mr. Collard. I'm finally back. "

Still, when Reulus recovered his mind and greeted him with a greeting of return, Collard's expression softened as if he had returned to me.

"You're safe... you're safe?" Well, well, anyway, I heard that the Synod was done. Is this the same quasi-baron as me..... "

Collard patted Reulus on the shoulder with a smile. There may be aspects that are purely happy to be reunited, but the expression shines like, "I can share my work, responsibilities, and troubles with this." At the same time, his gaze was swimming a little as if he had heard about what had happened in the capital to some extent.

"Yes, it's Leulus-Banett-Maldo-Varza. Thank you again."

"Hmm. It's Collard-Banett-Maldo-Roverie. Thank you again."

Still, when Reulus called himself after his family name, he laughed amusedly somewhere. Reulus laughed at Collard and turned to Leviria, who stood beside him.

"Later, this way...... Ruvilia"

"Yes. It's been a long time, Baroness Roverie." Congratulations, Sir Sheng

"Oh... this is... this is Lord Ruvilia, isn't it?" It's been a while... eh? No, Leurus? Huh? Why is Lord Leviria here? ”

At first, it was Collard who maintained his appearance as an aristocrat, but from the middle, his tone collapsed and he looked at Reulus. Ruvilia is a familiar opponent to Collard, but I didn't know why she was accompanying Reulus.

In response, Reulus jumped up one eyebrow. Corrad didn't seem to hear anything from the envoys or Jiluba.

(Regardless of the ambassadors who preceded you, I wonder if Jilba-san is telling you something... oh, you're smiling and carrying materials with people who look like Spiritists...)

At the end of an open gate. In the distance, there was a figure of Jiluba carrying wood, stone and other building materials with a vivid smile. Probably working tirelessly to build a building to honor Sarah and Neddy alongside the rallying Spirits.

(... do you feel like you haven't concentrated on telling us what happened? Or should I tell these things by my own mouth?)

I felt that the former was unlimited, but Reulus decided to think it was the latter. Then he smiled tiny bitterly and explained briefly.

"There's so much going on in the capital... it's my wife"

"We are not officially married yet, but we are accompanying you as a wife. Thank you and my husband for your continued support."

”Konko... eh? No... that's... um, that's... that's... that's... that's... that's... that's...”

It was Collard who said, "I don't know what happened," but I thought I'd better hear it from now on. As I celebrated, I slipped my gaze behind Reulus.

"Lord Ruvilia... no, I was convinced about the Baroness Varza, but why are the northern nobles here?" I know a few faces. "

"Everything seems to be going around greeting the nobles of southern Mataroy." It would be safer if you accompanied us, so we came from the capital. "

"Saying hello... hmm. With the lords together, it might be safer than walking with a bad escort... hnn?"

Rather than being surprised, Collard frowned in bewilderment. Looking at Collard like this, Reulus leaned his neck and asked in a whisper.

"I didn't get permission from my sister because we met after we left the abandoned city of Laval, but if a monster or bandit attacked me... what's wrong with that?"

“No, it's not that much of a problem. We have heard rumors that the lord has fulfilled his king's orders in the king's city and defeated the superior dragon species. If such a lord accompanies me, I can also judge that it is safe......"

Collard is confused and puzzled. His gaze was not directed at Reulus, but at Alice who had accompanied him so far behind him.

― ― To be precise, Corrado was puzzled by Alice's appearance as she looked at herself with a glittering gaze.

"Is it my fault?" I've been looking at you for a long time. "

"Huh? Oh, she's the daughter of the Marquis of Saldari." "... you know Marquis Saldari, don't you?"

I checked with Reulus, but it was true that Alice's gaze was on the Corrald. However, there was no malice or hostility, so Reulus sheds a light sip and talks to the Collard.

"You're the one who's putting together the nobility of the North of Mataroy... Why is such a great noble lady here?" Of course, if you were accompanied by a lady of the Imperial Family of the Marquis of Saldari, you wouldn't be able to do anything, but I think it would be enough if there were other nobles to say hello..... "

As the confusion deepened, Corrado murmured, and Alice approached with a friendly smile. I heard the name of Marquis Saldari, so I figured I'd become a subject of conversation.

"Nice to meet you! My name is Alice-Faulle-de-Saldari!"

And I said hello cheerfully. Since it was an inn, the clothes emphasized the ease of movement, but the appearance of Alice bowing along with the greeting was sophisticated in contrast to the good energy.

"This is polite." My name is Collard-Banett-Maldo-Roverie. "

Collard responded politely by retracting his confused expression. However, Alice, who continued to send her gaze with a smile, was once again perplexed and frowned.

I heard you were going around to say hello, but can I help you?

"I would definitely like to speak with Baron Rovery!" It's a pleasure to meet you! "

"... me and you? I'm not as elusive as the Baroness Varza, but... no, I'd be honored if you wanted me to look like Alice."

Collard answered half confused and half vigilant. Alice then held her hand in front of her chest as her eyes glowed.

"I'm so glad to hear that you have a wide network, that you have enough merit to be described as a quasi-baron in one generation, and that you are a brilliant man who taught swords to the famous [Dragon Killer]!" And yet... I think it's nice! "

"Hah, hah... if you let go so much and get praised... huh?" Dragon Killer?

While saying that, Collard turned his gaze to Reulus with a giggling sound.

Reulus, what's a 'dragon killer'?

When I fulfilled my request to the king to take down the advanced dragon species, such a nickname was spread.

What is your swordmaster?

"Mr. Collard is the master who taught me swordsmanship, right?" Don't make a mistake... hnn? "

Leulus, who had spoken so much, asked a question and shut his mouth. And when I asked myself what questions I had, I got an answer in a matter of seconds.

(That's funny... The bishops who killed each other told me that Mr. Corrado was a swordsmith, but did you tell them in the capital? Even when the king told me what to do with the swordsmanship guide...... I think I told you about the acronym, but I didn't give you my full name...... I'm sure......)

Collard's acronym might have been spoken, but Reulus thought.

Still, even though it was only a single letter of the name, it would be limited to a person who could teach swordsmanship among those related to Reulus. Maybe that's where he got to Kollard.

(There was also Marquis Saldari there... did you listen to the story and gather information from there? No, is that all you want to gather?)

Reulus gazed at Alice with some doubts. I intended to learn what an aristocratic creature looked like in the capital, but the question arose as to whether I would "go that far".

"...? What's the matter?"

However, Alice only tilted her head strangely. The expression was natural, and from Reulus' eyes, it didn't seem like an act.

(Maybe I just don't remember and gave you Mr. Collard's name...)

As far as I can remember, when I met Alice for the first time, I mentioned the name of Corrado, but it was possible that Reulus himself had mentioned the name of Corrado elsewhere just because he didn't remember it. Therefore, when she leaked a convincing murmur from her heart, Corrado frowned complicatedly.

"It's true that I taught you swords, but even if you're called a master... no, it's quite incompatible..."

"Please don't say that." No one could call me Master of the Sword but Mr. Collard. Yeah, but the Gregorian bishop also told me that Mr. Collard taught me the sword, but he said that he didn't believe it, but he didn't know it. "

Hmm, I need you to wait a moment.

Reulus leaked a disgruntled voice, that the Graego bishops might know of powerful men from all over the continent of Caldeva. Then Collard waits with his true face.

"Did you tell the Graego bishop that I am the master of the sword?" What could possibly happen? "

"No, it was a request from the king I mentioned earlier, but there was a backstory that I was induced to take down the Graego people who were really trying to make a noise... When I broke the details, I fought three bishops by myself, right?"

In fact, there was a side where Rebecca could beat her allies, but Reulus still fought against two bishops, Aidan of [Flash Spear] and Brain of [Collector]. At that time, Collard said he was a swordsmith, but neither of them knew Collard's name.

Alice was also present at the scene, so when she leaned over to Korrad and explained in a whisper, Korrad looked at Reulus with resentment as she pulled her cheeks.

"What, three bishops?" And my name... why? No, let me tell you that in the first place, what are you doing to me... uuu, my stomach... "

Collard frowned as he laid his hand on his abdomen. Reulus leans back at Collard's reaction.

"Didn't Jilba tell you about that?" He beat the archbishop while I was dealing with the bishop, and then he took out the others. "

"I haven't heard of it... I've been accompanied back by a foreboding ambassador, but I've been under a lot of pressure before and I can't hear the details... So, what happened in the King's City?" When I returned, I started some kind of work with the Spirituals who wanted to emigrate. "

"The Archbishop of Graigo told me how much the Spirit loves humans... something like that."

"What the hell is going on..."

Collard wanted to give up thinking. Then, I decided that it was not good to ask in detail here, and I coughed up.

"Hooray! For now, thank you for coming home safely!" I don't want to hear the details of that story at a later date... well, honestly, I don't want to hear as much as I can because I feel that my stomach and heart won't hold, but I'll ask at a later date. First of all, we need to discuss the consolation of the returnees and the meeting of the northern aristocrats when they are stranded. "

For the time being, you chose to shelve the conversation, or that's what Collard said, who changed his expression to something serious. Reulus nodded convinced that it was the same.

As for Reulus, I would like to take a leisurely look at how far the town of Speranza has progressed while we were away. And more than that, I wanted to show Leviria and Corona around the town.

(This is where Leviria and Corona will live from now on. Even in a short period of time, you may be tired from travelling in the open air, so first let me rest and then introduce you to everyone... I need to check if there are strong monsters around the town)

Halfway through Ruvilia and Corona, halfway through the safety of the town of Speranza, Reulus walks into the town of Speranza, the first town in a long time to return.

"Baroness Roverly!" If you don't mind, may I call you Collard? "

”Um, um... I don't mind that... but first of all, I'd like to talk about my stay here”

As Reulus gnawed at the joy of his "home", she saw Alice talking to Nikon while smiling at Corrald. Corrard seemed somewhat depressed, but he laughed like he was in trouble because he was not an opponent that could do anything.

Looking at it without a word, Reulus exhaled in a distracted way.

(Well... can you take it easy for a while?)

There were too many in the capital. So for the time being, let's rest our minds and bodies.

─ ─ On the other hand, Reulus didn't know that various problems would occur.
