A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

He said he was a new employee who had just joined the company, but he was ordered to go out without getting help with his job.

Reurus murmured inside out, saying that it would be like that if I were to compare my current mood. Nicolas and Sharon thought it would be interesting, but it seems that 'adventurers' are a more familiar spirit than learning.

Although I borrowed the equipment, I was able to destroy the monster without being taught how to swing a sword.

"... you're gonna die, right?

Located just east of the abandoned city of Laval by the forest. This is the forest where Reurus encountered the horny rabbit the other day, and Nicolas and the others seem to visit regularly.

Sharon calls out without expression to Reurus, who is afraid to ask beside such a forest.

"Shouldn't swordsmanship be the first thing to teach you when using swords?

"Yeah, well... I'm glad you think I'm totally amateur."

It is difficult to complain on the teaching side, but I don't think I can handle it satisfactorily even if I have an amateur hold the blade. If this were a short blade or knife, it would be different, but Reurus borrowed a one-handed sword nearly 70 centimeters across.

The knife also needs a bloody workout. However, Reurus thought that the lightness and length of the blade that could be treated as a hand extension were easier to master than the sword.

When this becomes a sword, even if the grip is good, the way to stand and swing is very different in genre and situation.

(Should I have used a spear...)

I heard that without skill and speed, it wouldn't help the monster, but just swinging around from a distance would help contain it. Reurus began to regret it as soon as he could.

"Reurus, who are you going to fight?

"Yes? Eh... it's a monster, right?

Even if you come here to fight against monsters, it will be troublesome. Nicolas nodded seriously to Reus, who answered with such confusion.

Yes, the monster is the target. More than fighting with swords, it makes sense to learn swordsmanship, but swordsmanship is a method of warfare that has mostly developed into a human opponent. Of course, there are swordsmanship that leads to monsters, but that's not what I can teach you in Laval Abandoned City. "

Nicolas brushed her arms in a classy fashion. Nicolas smiled bitterly at Reurus who thought so.

"And by the way, hey, swordsmanship is technology. It takes a lot of money, a long time to learn officially, or to be a soldier. We don't even like to teach people in abandoned cities."

Nicola shook her head and put her expression back, tapped the handle of her own sword and continued talking.

"There are many kinds of monsters, but the size of the individual also changes. If they're human, there's no big difference in height, but it's not uncommon for monsters to be different by melt."

"Nh... what's a melt?

"Ah? What is it, Reurus? You don't even know the length unit?

Nicolas spread her hands as she said it was about this much. Looking at it, Reurus finds the length to be roughly one meter.

"Melt, St., Milt. This is the unit of length in Mataroi... didn't you know?

Sharon tells me about other lengths of units to supplement, but Reus waves his hand in front of his face.

"My parents were killed by a monster when I was three years old, and nobody else could tell me... if I wanted to know something, the village superiors would beat me up and stop me, and if I succeeded, I'd be killed."

The letters are the same, but there are too many “common sense” that I don't know. Reurus once again felt his position, but Nicolas and Sharon slightly changed their expression when they heard about Reurus.

"I see... you're a monster."

…………

Nicolas feels sympathy and sadness, Sharon puts her hand on her chin and narrows her eyes to think of something.

Well then, let's avenge it. It's impossible to kill all the monsters that are alive, but it's no use killing the monsters that killed your parents. "

"Well, I don't know what kind of monster killed me because I was a kid."

To be precise, they didn't even tell me. I was told that my parents had been killed by a monster, and nobody answered to ask for the details.

"Reurus, are you fifteen?

"Yes, but... what is that?

At the age of fifteen, she was sold out of the village of Shena because she became an adult in Mataroi. It was celebrated as an adult in the previous life, but in this world it is a revus that can only be laughed at as a terrible “celebration”.

"No, nothing... I just thought it was the same age. And as I said about the length, the weight is Killam, Gram, Miram. Your sword, including a sheath, is about two kilograms and 500 grams."

That's how Reurus lifts his sword. In light of the memory of the previous life, which is already in a state of cavitation, the kilogram seems to be the same as kilograms.

(I mean, does it work in grams...)

There are monsters and magic in different worlds, but the units of length and weight seem to have something in common. Though easy to remember and thankful, subtle differences, in turn, stimulate revulsion questions.

"Are there units larger than melt or killam?

"Ah? That's right. Er... what is it?

Nicolas tried to answer Reurus' question, but she saw Sharon asking for help whether she didn't know or forgot the answer.

"1 quilt at 1000 melts and 1 tome at 1000 kilograms. I want you to study harder."

"Well, I just forgot!

As Sharon sighs in astonishment, Nicolas squeezes her fist and persuades her. With those Nicolas elsewhere, Reurus secretly dropped his shoulders and sighed.

(Kilometers to quilt, tons to tom. I can't believe it took me fifteen years to figure this out...)

There are places where I think the profession of "Adventurer" is dangerous, but I was able to get out of the village of Shenna at the earliest. I don't think I could have lived long in such a place, even if I only knew the unit of length and weight.

(Maybe the letters are similar to some other country... but I'm sure it's not Japanese.)

It may be easy to master characters as long as you know what they have in common. If we can get back to the abandoned city of Laval alive, Reus is determined to start by studying.

"No, don't do that! A monster. A monster! Reurus, learn how to defeat monsters first!

Because knowledge is no match for Sharon, Nicolas closes the conversation and begins to fix the topic. Sharon nodded because there was no difference as a revulsion, but she sighed deeply at Nicolas' state.

"Let me get back to that, but there are many kinds of monsters, and they are completely different in size. Even if you're learning swordsmanship, there's no point in dealing with them."

(Sure... if it's a wild animal, I'd rather be told if swordsmanship is useful to dinosaurs)

A wild dog would probably be able to defeat a dinosaur with a sword, but it would be reckless to be told to defeat a dinosaur with a sword that measures tens of meters in length. No one grows so huge in humans, and the size of the opponent who can fight with swordsmanship is determined by nature.

"So I learned how to fight the monster. If you survive, your body will learn how to fight."

"That's too extreme...."

I understand that ordinary swordsmanship is not so helpful to monsters. But that's why Reurus thinks he can fight monsters without learning anything.

"Grasp the sword, move it to the position where it can be cut, and wave the sword so it can't be avoided... that's easy, isn't it?

"It sounds easy, but if you suck, you'll die!?

"Avoid the other party's attack to avoid dying."

Easy to say, isn't it typical of how difficult it is to do? It is also a high kind of difficulty, not a halfway point.

"Senpai Sharon...."

"I don't want to be seen as trusting... it was certainly a rough way to say it, but my brother was right. I fight at a distance because I'm a wizard, but I've learned how to fight when I'm cornered."

If Nicolas doesn't talk to her, it's a realuse that looks at Sharon, but Sharon doesn't get along. It's not a joke or anything, it seems we have to fight monsters without training.

If that's how the Adventurer trains - I can't refuse it, but feeling anxious and dissatisfied won't punish me.

"What do you think we're following you for? Even if I let you fight monsters, I'll show you an example first."

At least as weak monsters emerged, it was a revulsion to hope for God who didn't even know he was there, but his thoughts were cut off by the words of Nicolas, who laughed bitterly.

"I mean role models....."

You want me to watch and learn how to fight? It was a revus that I tried to ask, but my neck felt tingling and scared, causing me to cut off my words.

Though much weaker than when I encountered a lion monster, a "bad feeling” struck me. Looking around according to the reaction, there was a movement behind the forest.

"Oops, you're a customer... you're lucky with Citnam."

"In the meantime, I'm not going to work for free."

Almost simultaneously with such a revulsion. Nicolas pulls out her sword and laughs joyfully, and Sharon holds a stick as tall as she is. Reurus also tried to pull out the sword of his hips imitating those two, but he couldn't pull out the sword smoothly because his impatient emotions were in the way.

Still, I tried to pull out the sword, but it hardened without thinking of the monster who showed up from the forest.

(Cama... kiri?

Judging by Nicolas's tone, it seems to be a monster called Citnam. It was a creature similar to a sea lion, with a height of nearly one meter and a sharp sickle growing at the tip of both hands.

The whole body is almost green, and if you dive into the grasslands and the like, your body will become a protective color and you will likely miss it. The opponent was also aware of the presence of the Reurus. He held the sickle in both hands and widened his back feathers to take a threatening position.

"So, it was fun! It's disgusting!

It's not that I've never seen a sea lion in my previous life, but the impact of an insect just one meter away is too strong. As a result, Reus shouted unconsciously, but Nicolas laughed with her sword in her arms.

"It's still growing. If we're lucky, we'll meet a little bigger, huh?

"That's bad luck!"

Whether it's the habit of the Kamakiri monster called Citnam or the monster in general, there's no way to escape. Instead, they rub together the sickles of both arms to make a metal sound, and open and close a large mouth that is likely to bite off the person's arm and peel their teeth.

"What? What is it? What is it? You're an insect and you attack people? Is it carnivorous? You're obviously after us, aren't you? In a food sense."

If the alien were real, it would be like this, and the realuse would pull her back. If you didn't come here to exterminate the monster, turn right and run. Certainly carnivorous insects are not uncommon, but the size alone is scary.

"Calm down, Reurus. Sitnam is at moderate risk. I heard you've hunted Epel before. [M] Then it's okay."

"... by the way, how dangerous is the rabbit I killed?

"Subordinate"

"Isn't it amazing!?

Whatever spiders and bees are poisonous to them, it seems that they are more dangerous than horny rabbits. Indeed, the size of the body and the sickles of both arms appeared to be a threat to Reurus' eyes, but knowledge in the previous life shouted that the reality before him was irrational.

"Yo... Reurus, take a good look. If the opponent is Sitnam, it is a good place to study. Sharon, I asked for an amulet."

Nicolas, who had a sword, kicked the ground. Reurus unintentionally tries to stop Nicolas, but Nicolas runs at windy speeds.

The distance to Citnam was about thirty meters. When Nicolas filled the distance in less than two seconds, Sitnam stepped in before waving the sickle, waving his sword straight to the side to sever Sitnam's torso.

"... why don't you go too fast?"

It took about five seconds for Reurus to reveal that feeling. Sharon opens his mouth elsewhere confirming that Sitnam is definitely dead with his sword on his back.

"Sitnam is no match for you if you pay attention to the scythe and bite of both arms. I don't use magic, and I don't have any flying gear. The outer shell is a little stiff, but even the weapons supplied by the union can hunt enough monsters."

And he connected the words, and Sharon looked at Reurus with a horizontal view.

"He's short, but he's standing on his feet and attacking with his arms... and if he cuts off his head in a hurry, he'll definitely die. I think I should hit your practice partner."

"You think it's easy to fight because it's not much different from human movement?

Drawing on the intentions of the words, Sharon nodded satisfactorily.

"That's what it is. Compared to monsters who have more than three arms, fly over the sky, or use magic, they can be defeated easily. Well, it's not good to be distracted, because some people just cut their torso in half with that sickle."

"Two of them..."

"The sharpness is really amazing. If the leather armor is of poor quality, it becomes two straight pieces without being prevented. If we can defeat him safely, he'll be a delicious adventurer.

When I heard it was delicious, Reurus' appetite was stimulated, but I don't think it meant what he said. As evidence, Nicola pulls out her dagger and cuts off Sitnam's sickle, inviting Reurus and Sharon.

"From now on, when you defeat Sitnam, retrieve the scythe of both arms. This one is sturdy and sharp. If you put a pattern on it, it'll turn you into a sickle that you can use for farming."

"It's proof that you defeated Citnam, and if you bring it into the Adventurers' Union, you'll pay a bounty along with the rewards of the Crusade. If you want to live as an Adventurer, you must first learn the characteristics of the monster and the materials to collect."

Surprisingly, it would be rude to both of us, but Reurus thought it would not be bad for training to exterminate monsters.

At first, I heard it was dangerous to fight monsters, but after showing me the example, they will tell me the precautions and what to do after I defeat them.

(Won't the monsters you defeated turn into money...)

Depending on the game, the monsters you defeat may become the currency you can use in the game, but it doesn't seem like such a fantastic world. Still, it was a Reurus who looked to the ground to see if the money had fallen, but saw the carcass of Citnam and stabbed him on the spot.

"Hmm? What's wrong?

"No, it's just..."

Reurus puts the sword in his hand on the ground and draws the dagger instead. And while unfamiliar with it, he shook down his dagger and broke the outer shell of Sitnam's arm, peeking inside.

Sitnam's arms are about five centimetres thick and look thin to shake the sickle on both arms of what is covered in the outer shell. However, when I checked the “contents” from the interest that human reasoning would not make sense because it was a monster, I saw clear meat with white.

"What is it, is there anything that bothers you?

The appearance is green and the contents are light white when I break it. Close to Aloe on that point alone, but Citnam is a monster similar to Kamakiri. When I slipped the dagger and broke the outer shell vertically, the meat was exposed beautifully, and if I didn't care about the appearance of sitnam, I would look like a crab.

"Is sitnam poisonous?

I didn't hear that.

"I see... hah"

--If it's not poisonous, let's try it.

Immediately after that, Reurus bit Sitnam's flesh. The fact that the smell was not so strong and the appearance was close to Aloe was also the reason for the decision. As far as I could tell, there were no parasites.

"Haaaaaaaaa!? Hey, what are you doing!?

Eh? No, I was wondering if I could eat it.

Reurus answers with his eyebrows raised in response to the toy. Breaking the outer shell, the meat was only about three centimeters thick, but the size of the citron arm, which does not seem to be an insect, is long and well fed.

"Ah, that's so cute. It smells a little bitter, but it's surprisingly delicious."

At least it wasn't so bad that I couldn't eat it, which was Reurus' impression. Compared to the weeds I ate to make me hungry on my way to Shena Village and Laval Waste Town, it seems like it would be a good ingredient.

(Close to a pepper... that? Was pepper like this? If you bake it and shake the salt, it looks like you can eat it normally.)

I thought of the food of the previous life that I knew, but I couldn't remember clearly what I had eaten in a distant memory. Nevertheless, Nicolas and Sharon looked at Reurus, who was reminiscent of Peppers from the pain they felt on their tongues, with amazement as if they had seen something incredible.

"... senpai's share is this way"

Reurus offered Citnam his arm, wondering if eating just himself was really bad. Thanks to Dominic, I'm not that hungry, but if there's anything I can eat, I should eat it on the spot.

It is the rare knowledge acquired during the fifteen years of life in the village of Shena, the way of life in this world.

In the village of Shena, it was not uncommon for children in a situation similar to that of Reurus to be given less food. As a result, it became a frequent combination fight over food, and it was also possible that nothing could be eaten.

Reurus is "doing well” around here, but if you don't eat what you think you can eat right away, others will take it away. It may be ridiculous in previous life, but it is a matter of life and death in this world.

"... I've never seen anyone eat sitnam."

"How hungry are you..."

As Nicolas and Sharon muttered, they distanced themselves from the citron arm offered by Reurus. Reurus leaned his neck at the reaction and said strangely as he chewed off the flesh of Sitnam.

"No, you know, if I could eat it, I'd eat it at the root of the tree, at the weeds, at the insects. I wonder if a poisonous creature can eat it."

"I don't even know if I break my stomach.

"It's okay. I've never broken my belly since I was born."

If the only good thing had happened in the world today, you would have had a sturdy stomach with no problems eating anything. I didn't know if it was born or if it was trained in an environment where I couldn't live without eating anything if I could.

"Speaking of which, you can use magic, can't you? So you can light a fire?

"Flame magic is not talented... I hear from interest, but what are you going to do if you let it burn?

"Huh? I'm going to bake this and eat it...."

It can be eaten raw, but in most cases the meat is better cooked. I hardly had a chance to eat meat since I became a human being, but the taste of yakiniku will not change as the world changes.

To Reurus, who answered strangely, Nicolas and Sharon gave back a twitching smile that would happen several times.
