A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"When my stomach swells, I'm motivated! If you kill a monster, it'll be money and you can eat it!" Adventurer "is amazing!

Reus, who had flattened the flesh of Sitnam that Nicolas had defeated, shouted in an unusual, frustrating manner.

Indeed, monsters are terrible. According to Sharon, the danger of sitnam is second from the lower middle and bottom, and even such sitnam can amputate the torso of a human who has been fortified with protective equipment.

Rabbit horns previously defeated by Reurus - Eppel appears to be at the lowest risk level, but if stabbed with sharp horns, he could well die.

If you succeed, you will die easily, and even if you don't succeed, you will kill a monster that is likely to get hurt by a sudden clap. It was a revulsion that was so desperately motivated to do such a dangerous job, but if the material of the demon that was defeated turned to gold and could satisfy his stomach, it was different.

Until now, I have been afraid of being distracted by the size of the monster's body and its attack power, but if I can defeat it, its size will be a welcome thing for Reurus.

The fact that you are large means that you are well fed. As far as the reaction between Nicolas and Sharon is concerned, there are few monsters that can be eaten, but Reurus doesn't care about the dust. Eat it because you can eat it, that's all you need.

If there are monsters that are as hard as minerals, they cannot be physically eaten, and if they are known to have parasites or poisons, they will not be eaten unless they are too hungry, but otherwise they will not hesitate to eat.

Even if they say it's heresy and abnormal, it's much better than starvation. That's why I don't want to die from malnutrition in my second life. If that's the case, the opponent will be happy to eat it as if it were an insect-shaped monster.

Not all fears of fighting monsters were wiped out, but I could put up with it if I thought it would be food and money just for what I had defeated. I heard that only the scythe of both arms is useful in sitnam, but the risk of starvation is unlimited if you like the “other” part.

"I've never seen a monster eat sitnam and be motivated by it anyway...."

"Out of the question, Reurus may be a big deal."

Unlike before, Nicolas and Sharon secretly whispered to Reurus, who looked around for monsters with his glittering eyes.

Epel, which was once defeated by Reurus, was also known as an edible monster. It is because it is a little habitual and smells of beasts, but its taste is sufficient for consumption. However, Nicolas and the others don't know who eats sitnam raw, like an insect that has made it huge.

Nevertheless, I decided that if Reurus was motivated, he would not add water, and I decided to return to Reurus' education.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm gonna give you some advice after I take down the monster."

Nicolas talks to Reurus, whose belly is swollen but still far from full. Reurus corrected his spine to listen, but Nicolas kept his eyes shining with the idea of feeding the monsters, so Nicolas kept a short distance.

"You don't have to worry about monsters like Citnam, but if you kill monsters like Eppel, they smell like blood, get out of there. If you suck, the smell of blood will catch up with other monsters."

The fact that there are animals sensitive to the smell of blood is a revulsion that I have heard of in my previous life. So I nodded honestly, but immediately came up with a question.

"I mean, if you lure me in with the smell of blood and hunt at once, you can eat all you want, right?

"I don't think it's the dialogue of the guy who was scared of killing monsters just now....."

Nicolas twitched her cheeks, making a mess all at once. It's also a problem to be too scared, but it's also a problem to be out of control. However, in the case of Reurus, it is more distracting to eat than blood, and I don't know how to be careful with Nicolas.

"I don't know what's coming. It's one way to gather and hunt fish at once, but if you're unlucky, you catch big fish. I wish I could deal with them, but sometimes there are monsters above intermediate level."

"Intermediate... I don't know what the standard is, but can't we defeat seniors in the same middle class?

It seems to be classified by the threat level of the monster, but I don't know the criteria. Even so, Nicolas, the middle-aged 'adventurers', was in trouble and lost his sight.

"Of course..." Anyway, if it's lower intermediate, it's tougher... or more likely to die. "

"Because we're middle-intermediate adventurers, did you think it would be okay to have middle-intermediate or higher monsters?

"Yes, but... if it's not, then I don't know what kind of criteria it is."

Even Nicolas, who easily took down the lower-middle Citnam, seems to have difficulty fighting intermediate monsters. Reurus wondered, but Sharon answered with a small, bitter smile.

"Our Adventurer rank is determined not only by strength, but also by the success rate of our clients and their“ contribution ”to the Adventurer Association. That's why even mid-level Adventurers can't defeat low-level monsters."

"I see... my overall ability, including my track record, determines me as an Adventurer."

"That's what it is. It has a great strength, but the rate of fulfillment of the request is poor or the behavior is poor. Some people can't go to higher classes for that reason."

Simply being strong doesn't seem to make you an 'adventurer'. It may still be a long way off for the junior Reurus, but I am determined to try to behave properly as much as possible.

Sharon narrows his eyes and says what he thinks of Reurus, who seemed convinced.

"By the way, Reurus. I heard you lived as a peasant until you came to the abandoned city of Laval, and you couldn't write a word. But I feel a lot“ smarter ”. I don't say I know ten when I hear one, but I'm impressed by the speed of understanding and checking questions properly."

"Oh, I was worried about that too. Somehow, somehow, the product is good, and I'm smart."

"... is that so? I think that's just because it's easy to understand how senpai teaches....."

It was a Reurus that leaned on Nicolas and Sharon's allegations, but it's only natural that the experience of the previous life was quicker to understand than the farmers who “know nothing”. Most of the expertise developed in the previous life has been in a state of cavitation, but common sense knowledge is not yet diluted.

It is necessary to compare the current living world with the previous life and be consistent, but "somewhat” can be understood in light of the knowledge of the previous life.

"In the village of Shenna, where I was, I had to work my head to survive... if I didn't stand up well, they would beat me up at the top of the village, and if I succeeded, I would be killed. If I thought I'd grown up alive by this age, I'd be sold out as a slave...."

But I can't explain the memory of the previous life. For this reason, it was a Reurus that made me smell the treatment I had received in Shena Village until now and decided to deceive me by changing my expression to something painful.

"I see... you're struggling too. All right, when I get back to town, I'll buy you dinner!

"... well, hardship is also said to raise people. Besides, brother, it's nice to have dinner, but I need to get back safely for that."

Nicola frowned sympathetically when she heard Reurus' words, then smiled brightly and hit Reurus on the back. Sharon pulls her shoulders slightly apart and turns to Nicolas without further pursuit.

"I know. If you see monsters around here, you can't take a step back. I'll give Reurus a good experience, and if he's lucky, he can hunt monsters that are golden. That's good, right?

Nicolas laughs at Sharon's soft words. Sometimes brothers, Nicolas and Sharon seem to be at ease with each other.

Then the rabbit is better next. I want meat. "

"... you mean raw?

It was a Reurus who spoke faithfully to his desires when he heard that he was hunting monsters, but Nicolas slightly withdrew. Seems like eating sitnam raw was a big shock, but Reurus waves his head in agony with his arms.

"It's best to have Dominic cook for me, even if it's the worst raw..."

--I think it would have been better to eat raw as a nutrient.

Although Reurus' knowledge of his predecessors appeals to him, he doesn't have to go out of his way to eat raw if there are people and environments who can cook.

"After today, you should buy a flint. [M] That's right, eating raw is bad for your health."

In the first place, I wanted to tell Sharon not to bake meat fluently outside the town where the monsters wander, but I don't think even the revulsions are that different. However, I couldn't put my trust around eating sitnam raw.

"Flintstone... I wish I could use magic. It's enough just to light the fire...."

It was a realuse that was “good age” if I included the previous life, but I feel attracted to the sounds of the word magic, whether it is sex as a man.

Not to mention the powerful magic that appears in cartoons and animations, but at least I think I can use enough magic to replace the writer. Even if I was told to buy flint, I'm not sure I can use it properly.

I know you can spark with flint, but it's different when you actually light a fire. Does it ignite immediately if it is easy to burn, or does it have any tricks?

It may be easier to use if you get used to it, but there were no people around who had used flint stones in Heisei Japan, which was overflowing with convenient tools.

"If it's enough magic equipment to burn, it's also sold in Laval Waste City. Do you know any magic tools?

"What is that? Just asking for a name... means you can use magic?

There is no other way to interpret it, but I have never gone beyond confirming it. There was too little information available in Shena village to be confident in common sense in the world.

"It fits that perception. Anyone can use magic with a magical stone called Magic Stone... well, I lost my story. Reurus, I know you want to know a lot, but let's finish the demon hunt first."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

I wasn't so distracted as to call it alarm, but I think we should focus on killing monsters now. Reurus understood it, so he shut his mouth - and trembled on his neck.

(Is this... maybe, "maybe”?

A subtle “unpleasant hunch" compared to encountering the lion monster, Kimira. However, this hunch seemed to inform the approaching monster, and Reurus looked around.

There was a reaction in the woods a little further away. The trees are sparse to describe as gloomy, but the perturbed trees can't be seen beyond the forest.

Nevertheless, Reurus closed his eyes and checked for any abnormalities. If I'm not mistaken, something must be lurking.

(... with bingo)

A green body peeking from the shade of the tree. It was the same as the Citnam that Nicolas had just defeated, and it seemed to be watching out for the three of them solidifying Reurus.

"Senpai"

"Ahn?"... oh, you guys have good eyes. "

When I tried to be careful not to focus too much on Sitnam, Nicolas leaked an impressive voice. Sharon was the same, looking around and capturing Sitnam.

"... I found it before we did. Reurus, maybe you're for the Adventurer."

"I knew it was an edible creature, and I worked hard to find it."

"That's right...."

Sharon nods with his cheeks twitching against Reurus, who deceives with his true face. While wondering why Sharon was pulling, Reus pulled out the sword on his hips and stood up with his right hand.

Because Citnam turns out to be a food for Reurus, or I'm not lost in pulling out the sword. When the sword was pulled out smoothly, I quickly picked up a stone of affordable size from my feet.

"I'll help you if anything happens to you so you don't die. But if you get hurt, I'll leave you alone."

"Copy that... well, let's try it!

Reurus swaps his right sword with his left stone to play the ball and rushes toward Citnam. And as he approached some point, Citnam took a threatening stance, so he shook the stone with the momentum he ran.

"Uh-huh!

Raise your voice to inspire yourself, and step into it with all your might to make your right arm look like a whip. And when I threw a stone around Citnam, I immediately switched the sword to my right hand.

When the stone is thrown through the wind and headed for Citnam, it hits the torso as it is. Sitnam's body swayed backwards with a dull sound, and Reurus left it to momentum and continued straight ahead with the sword in place.

No matter how many monsters, if humans hit stones with all their might against a one-meter size creature - should it be said that they were alarmed, or should they be surprised by the monster's anomaly?

He was in a threatening position with his arms and wings spread out, but the stone thrown by Reurus seemed to have broken down. But as Reurus approached, he immediately regained his posture and jumped with his arms wide open.

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Sitnam's arms were spread to welcome the approaching Reurus, but there was a dull, glowing sickle. And the realus that stormed from the front was a good dress, and the left and right sickles were swinging straight to the side to split the torso.

"Uh-oh!?

In Citnam's motion, which is less damaging than expected, Reurus slides aggressively to stop his sword-swinging arm. Then he slipped under the flying sitnam, but saw the sitnam scythe slashing and tearing apart the place where his torso was until then, and sweating cold.

(Speed!? I'm scared! The wind chip sounds amazing!

It was a Reurus that managed to evade sliding, but the battle had just begun. Immediately jumped up and repositioned his sword, he shouted to Nicolas, who were watching.

"Senpai, this guy! I want to leave it to you!?

Momentum alone is not enough to kill monsters. It is good that the stone struck directly, but it is a revulsion that underestimated the durability of Citnam. So he desperately asked for help, but Nicolas put his sword in his sheath and put his arm around him.

"Okay, then I'll give you one piece of advice."

"Please help me more than advise!?

They're about three meters apart and facing Citnam, but they're biting their teeth and pointing a chirp at them. The sound sounds like a tin bee's intimidation, and I need help as a realuse right away.

"Sitnam's sickle is certainly troublesome. It's on both arms anyway. If you take one properly, you might be pushed out, and if you take one, you'll be cut off with the other... but if that happens, you just have to hit it. Look closer."

"But more specifically!

In the meantime, Reurus shouted, pointing out his sword to restrain him from approaching. As expected, I didn't lose sight of it, but when I confronted the monster directly for about a meter, I felt a sense of fear.

It makes sense that if you don't hit, you won't die, and you won't get hurt, but if you can, you won't have to struggle. The swaying sickle is easily cut off by thin trees, and teeth that raise intimidating sounds will bite a thousand times as easily as human flesh.

(... hmm? Sickle?)

However, Reurus, who was confronted with Sitnam, felt something flashing in his thoughts and kept checking Sitnam's condition while he continued to hold back.

Sitnum stands with two legs, spreads his arms to show off his sickles, and squeaks his teeth with his wings as the peacock threatens. I was nervous about a full-scale monster extermination for the first time, but when I carefully observed it, I noticed a few things.

They are spreading their wings, but they are not able to fly around freely, and from what I've seen, they serve to balance standing on both feet alone.

The shape of the scythe in both arms, regardless of how sharp it is, which seemed to be the most threatening, remains unchanged. There was no way he could fly like a Boomerang off his arm, and the “width” of the attack seemed to be small, even if it was powerful.

(Maybe....)

Pull out the sword that was sticking out, hold it with both hands, and then Reus kicks the ground. This time, however, it is not toward Sitnam, but circled around Sitnam.

Then Sitnam started going around to follow the movement of Reurus, which was slightly slower than Reurus. Given the difference in body size and length of travel, it seemed that we could follow it with plenty of room, but as far as the movement was concerned, Citnam seemed to have difficulty turning directions.

In addition, where Reurus is now is in the forest. Place it in the center of Sitnam and move around drawing circles, searching for thick trees that could be used as shields from the upheavals.

"Heh...."

"Hmm...."

Nicolas and Sharon, who were watching the behavior of the revulsion, muttered small, but the muttering never reached the revulsion. Not only sitnam in front of us, but also the roots of the trees when moving, so we can't afford to focus on both of them.

(I guess we just have to change direction to suit our movements... if we can use magic, it's different.)

Magic or some kind of flying gear, if Citnam could attack from a distance, Reurus wouldn't have had enough room. Confident that he is holding the chance, Reurus can focus on both hands holding the sword.

Nicolas beat Sitnam first as an example, but the impact at that time was too strong. You don't have to defeat anything head-on, and you won't be told that you're cowardly in any way when fighting monsters.

(If they say you're cowardly just by aiming at the other person's gap, I can't argue with anything....)

If you can't knock it down from the front, you just have to act to knock it down. I don't know if this tactic will work for other Citnams, but this time I was able to draw a clear image of defeating Citnam.

Reurus rushes around Citnam, gazing at the gaps and picking up pebbles. And after throwing pebbles so many times as to provoke, Citnam jumped over to see if they had cut out the numbness.

Sitnum shook a scythe with sharp light to push its back feathers even harder. After seeing it, Reurus immediately stops and counts down in his heart.

(3... 2... 1... now!

Sitnam's scythe, trying to slip his neck. The strike is like a giant pair of scissors approaching from the left and right. Still, Reurus acted calmly - walking away from the tree carrying him and again daring to slide under Sitnam's crotch.

"Hmm!?

Citnam screams loudly at Reurus' evasive behavior without attacking. There was no longer the neck of the revus that was about to be cut off, and the empty scythe of both arms swallowed up to the middle of the trunk of the tree on which the revus was carrying and stopped moving.

"Yaaah!

There is no technique that can be shredded while avoiding, and there is no dexterity in targeting the opponent's gap while defending. For that reason, it was a revulsion that focused only on stopping sitnam from moving, but when I saw sitnam eating a sickle in the trunk of the tree, I accidentally took a guzzle pose.

If the other person had been human, I would not have been able to get through, but I sincerely thank Sitnam for the gentle provocation he gave me. At the same time, I was relieved that Citnam did not have enough attack power to cut the tree of my choice easily.

But it's not over with relief. Reurus quickly regained his posture and kicked the ground with his sword on. Then Sitnam, who was trying to pull the sickle out of the trunk of the tree, waved his sword to his strength.

Now sitnam is pointing his back toward Reurus. Besides, the scythe of both arms is eating into the tree, so we won't be able to avoid slashing.

It was a revulsion that I could tell myself, but no matter how calm my thoughts were, my body wouldn't follow me. He said he would die if he dropped his neck, but it was another story whether the sword that switched would work as it was intended.

Leaving the momentum to the sword, I stepped into it with all my heart and waved. There is also a height difference with Citnam, which tries to drop Citnam's neck “straight from the side” in a way that looks like a batting.

"... ah"

The sword tip swallowed the tree before I dropped Citnam's neck. The tree chosen to stop Citnam's movement now stopped Reus himself.

Whether it's a different weapon or a different power, the sword that the Reurus swinging swallowed was just shallower than a Sitnam scythe, but it's impossible to pull it out immediately. The blade did not reach Citnam at the critical moment, only ripping off the feathers in the sword's orbit.

"How did you eat it!?

One second until you realize a different result than you imagined. Instead of killing Sitnam, Reurus was screaming when he realized he was pinched.

(I'm not stupid enough to feed my sword into the tree I used!? You're an idiot, goddamn it!

As an excuse, Reurus has never shaken a sword with all his might, a mass of more than a kilo of metal. In today's world, I used a mackerel for agricultural work, but I just swing it down and use it to till the soil. As a weapon, I never waved my sword to slay the opponent with all my might.

In addition, the battle for life created tension and led to confusion between the image of Reurus and his actual actions.

The unexpected results make Reurus's thoughts pure white. I cut into the trunk of the tree so hard that my hands numb and let go of the handle of the sword.

Did Sitnam feel angry that he had his feathers cut off, or did he begin to pull the scythe of both arms out of the trunk of the tree as he chewed and snapped his teeth?

It's deeper than the Reurus' sword, so it won't come out quickly, but if the monster's might does, it will come out before the Reurus.

"Giggle giggle giggle giggle..."

Sitnam looks over his shoulder and threatens while letting his arms swallow into the trunk of the tree. Reurus looked up with insect-like inorganic and creepy eyes and felt fear running on his back.

(Seeing it nearby makes me feel so sick! I'm scared!

Nearly one meter closer to seeing the camakiri brings both fear and disgust to the revulsion. When I was a child, I didn't feel repugnant to insects, but I suddenly dislike them when I get older.

I had fooled myself because it was edible, but the more I reached out, the more disgusting I felt about sitnam I saw nearby.

"Ugh! Oraah!

From a feeling of disgust, he aggressively kicked the so-called yakuza kick into the back of the sitnam and pressed the sitnam against the trunk of the tree to stop moving. Then pull out the dagger hanging from your hips with your left hand, which is relatively numb, and swing it down toward your head with your opposite hand.

Citnam's head is small compared to the size of his body. However, if the scythe of both arms is eating into the trunk of the tree and kicking it in from the back and securing it, it will be enough to target the current reuse.

The dagger, swinging down without recovering from the impact on the tree, grabbed Sitnam's back head with no mistake of aim. A sharp cut penetrates into the green shell and pierces through it to sew Citnam's head onto the tree.

(Ugh... if you think it's hard, soften it out of the way...)

Was the dagger sharper than I thought, or was the sitnam softer? Although the outer shell was quite stiff, the "contents” were soft and the feeling transmitted to the left hand was not pleasant.

From where the dagger was pierced, there was a green bloody liquid overflowing, and the color scraped the feeling of the revus. It was a revus that relieved me that I could still take it down, but I noticed that Citnam's body was moving to escape the dagger that was pointing out, causing my cheeks to twitch.

I don't know if it's because it's an insect or because it's a monster, but I learned how to fight Citnam, who is trying to move even if he pierces his head with a dagger.

"Even if I smash your head, you're still alive!

Reurus screamed to throw up and pulled out the dagger he had raised, and now he waved sideways. It was almost unconscious behavior due to surprise, but it was the best in this situation.

The dagger swinging by Reurus grabbed Citnam's neck and swallowed it into the outer shell with a hard response. Reurus, who felt that it was a long way from choking his neck, put his weight on and forced him to bury the blade.

"... the dagger really helped."

And he muttered after cutting off Citnam's neck by force.
