A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The next day, in Laval Waste City, the tingling air was spreading from the morning. Kimira is known to have appeared nearby, and tension and fear seem to spread through the air.

"Ah... damn, I'm angry..."

"I thought I'd cooled my head after one night, but it's still rough."

Tony, who was beside him, smiled bitterly at Reurus, who felt the air in the abandoned city of Laval and threw it up in frustration.

The location is south of the abandoned city of Laval, the entrance to the town where the slave-sold Reus arrived after a struggle. And Reus turned away, whispering with a murmur with a wooden gate on his back.

With the adventurers of the abandoned city of Laval, all of which are driven by an emergency situation, with the emergence of Kimira. It was no exception to the Running Adventurer Reurus, who decided to help the gatekeeper keep an eye on the outside world as a relatively safe assignment.

Most of the equipment I used until yesterday was abandoned when I was transporting Nicolas and Sharon, but I was not blamed for the emergency and was able to borrow a new sword or leather armor. Only shoes and toenails belonged to me, but the weight of the weapons I've been used to lately is now a little more reliable.

Fortunately, the muscle aches caused by carrying Nicolas and Sharon were not serious. When he died in his previous life, he would have been beaten with muscle pain for a few days if he had experienced a severe lack of exercise, but it is a revulsion that I would like to thank the young body for only conveying the pain to the extent that he can act as an adventurer.

The other adventurers were divided into two parts, one to escort them to a remote field and the other to prepare for the arrival of Kimira away from the abandoned city of Laval. I am also in charge of handling some monsters who attack out of their usual range of action for fear of Kimira.

"I mean, Tony, everything's crazy. Buy yourself some time in this town and build up your strength in the meantime? I told you to set it up from the beginning. That way, we'll be able to intercept Kimira soon!

Nicolas and Sharon were no match, but neither of them was particularly strong compared to the formally trained soldiers. I don't know how many soldiers belong in the town of Laval and how strong they are, but I wanted them to pay for the “fire powder” that could fly to us.

"Hey, Reurus. Do you know what Kimira's class is?

"I don't know. But if this is going to be so much noise, aren't you advanced?

You're not the best, but you're not the lowest or intermediate. Tony murmurs as he watches from afar in response to Reurus who answers with such an expectation.

"Intermediate, superior... I haven't even reached the superior. And with some intelligence, it's rare to attack places like Laval's."

"... I mean?

I heard that even Kimira was an intermediate monster, and Reurus had a headache. But now I'm going to push Tony beyond that.

"If you're in close proximity to Laval, if you're a little far away, you might just leave it there. I'm afraid“ we ”will defeat him. Even if you can't defeat it, you think you can weaken it."

That's what Tony said, but just like Natalia said the other day, he just didn't take it for granted. Reurus was stunned for a few seconds, but he chewed his teeth even more grumpy.

"... this town is like heaven to me."

"Hee... heaven will lift you up a lot. Tell me what you thought and what you thought."

Tony glanced at Reurus whispering in a mood of discomfort.

You know about the village I was in? I can't be unjustly abused compared to there, and I can't be unreasonable. If you work, you can eat delicious food and sleep on a solid roof and wall.... "

Naturally, compared to life in the previous life, life in the abandoned city of Laval is also terrible. However, compared to living in the village of Shenna, which has spent fifteen years, it is a difference in cloud mud, which can even be said to be heaven or ultra pure land.

--That's why I don't like Natalia or Tony's attitude.

"But come on... why is everyone accepting that I deserve it from the beginning?"

Although it was a short stay of less than ten days, the abandoned city of Laval was an easy place for Reurus to spend. Dominic and Corona, in particular, were very comfortable with me as a family member once I accepted them.

It was enough to start healing the body and spirit of Reurus, which had been rubbing away in harsh life for fifteen years, and to make him attach. I can't say I'm still brave enough to say I'm from the abandoned city of Laval, but it could be an important place for Reurus.

Or maybe it was already an important place. There are no other towns or villages and there is no intention of returning to the village of Shena, because it is difficult to live outside the abandoned city of Laval.

Even if you reach another town or village, you could be paid in advance like Laval. Even if you could enter a town or village, you wouldn't get a decent job.

I don't think I can live in such an environment, and even if I could, I would be treated as if I were living in Shenna Village or less.

Compared to their possible futures, the abandoned city of Laval is still equal to heaven. It is a revulsion that I think is too much because I have lived in a place and environment that is at the bottom of the world called Shena Village.

Even if the inhabitants consider it a sacrifice to a powerful monster to be abandoned from the nearby town of Laval.

"This world is irrational after all. What are you talking about? A poison for a powerful monster or something? What do you think of humans..."

"Ha, that's what the world is like."

The grievance whirls and turns into a fool, but Tony laughs at it with his nose. If I was told that, I would have to understand that it was “such a thing” as a revus, but it was a different story whether I could be convinced.

The noon bell rings in the abandoned city of Laval. Having heard that, Reurus turned away from Tony and went to Dominic's restaurant for lunch.

There is also the concept of time in this world, and the sound of bells ringing every hour is the guiding principle of life. Though hungry, he said he couldn't fight, it was the truth, and Tony didn't blame Reurus for leaving his place to eat.

Originally, you should either continue your request without meals or prepare something to eat on the spot. However, Reurus' position is that he is a rushing adventurer, and honestly, it does not change much, whether he is here or not.

("Lunch break” is a wonderful time to take a break and eat...)

Remembering the social life in the previous life and the serfdom life in Shena Village, Reurus raised his emotional voice inside.

In the previous life, eating work into lunch breaks was a daily routine, and in the village of Shenna, lunch breaks were not given in the first place. So thank you for taking a break on time as a revulsion and head to Dominic's restaurant early enough.

Normally, the shop isn't open yet, but unlike usual, many adventurers operate near the abandoned city of Laval, so they open ahead of time.

"Hi woosh. Hey, lunch..."

Open the door, enter Dominic's restaurant, and the voice of Reurus breaks as he tries to order food. Though I thought the adventurer was eating, there was little shadow. Instead, I was in the store.

"Hmm? What, this kid?

He was a tough guy Reurus had never seen before.

The man who was speaking with Dominic was over 180 centimeters tall at first sight. Still, it had a musculoskeletal body, and it was so big that it looked like a circle compared to Dominic with a similar size.

He wears a simple costume called a short sleeve on his trousers, but his raised muscles still keep him coming off. Besides, there was a “different reason” for Reurus to stop talking.

Is it shaving or is it natural? The head of the skin head. You have black eye bands on your left eye and scars running all over your face. Among them, the wound on the right cheek caught my attention, and a huge scar appeared, whether it was cut or cut.

(What... ah, Yakuza-san?

If we had met on the edge of the previous life, we would have immediately lost sight and given way. Looking closely, there were scars around the neck and on both arms, adding a swallowing color to the man's atmosphere.

Furthermore, on the other side of the eyelid, the right eye looking at the rearview is sharp and clearly not a steadfast person. In the middle of the request, it was a completely armed revulsion, but if the man in front of me were to catch me, I would honestly give away all my property.

"Reurus... I'm sorry, but I'm standing a little up right now."

"Ah... ah, yes, is that so?"

Dominic calls out when he notices a war-torn revus. So Reus finally returned to me and nodded many times, and immediately tried to escape the scene.

"... Reurus? Oh, by the way, Dominic, that's the name of the guy you recommended."

However, by calling his name, Reurus loses sight of the time to escape. I wanted to turn to the right without asking, but the slightly narrower man's eyes did not allow it.

"I knew who he was, but I didn't know he was such a kid. Nicolas and Sharon have become useful, but I don't think“ this "will help... are you busy?

"... hahaha. Somehow, I'm sorry about this. I'm just from the countryside, so please give me a break."

Hearing words that make Dominic look ridiculous, Reurus puts his legs on the floor as he attempts to escape. And he shrugged his shoulders on it, and smiled back at the man's words.

If we had only met on the side of the road, Reurus would have escaped. But I couldn't escape this scene until I heard something despising to my benefactor, Dominic.

"... uhh"

Instead of fleeing, the man leaks a slightly impressive voice as he looks back at the revus as a challenge. Then I looked at the realus from head to toe and loosened the sharp narrow right eye a little.

"Hmm... I've heard about how you came to this town, but I don't think you can use it at all."

"Well then... who are you?"

You should be worse off than you don't know the other person's position, but the man's attitude stripped the word "courtesy" of Reurus. The man snorts his nose when Reurus asks to bite him.

"I'm Bartolo. He's the president of the Adventurers' Union in the Waste City of Laval."

"The president of the Adventurers Association...?

In other words, for Reurus, he is the head of the organization to which he belongs, and should also be said to be the president in his previous life.

(What does that mean? Did I sell a fight to my boss in person?

If it was a company that I used to work for in my previous life, it was an outrage that would convince me even if I left at a later date. Still, he didn't feel like changing his attitude just because he knew the other person's position, and Reurus frowned and asked.

"... so? What do you want with the union president?"

It is not a soft atmosphere that I came to eat just like Reurus. There are signs of seriousness and tension between Dominic and Bartolo, so much so that even the runaway adventurer Reurus can feel it.

"It's no big deal. I just came to ask Dominic for help with Kimira's assassination."

Bartolo says nothing to Reus, asking him to be vigilant. When he heard that, Reurus glanced at Dominic, who stood in the kitchen.

"Oh-san, do you cook? Then I'll help you."

"... no"

Dominique, who runs the restaurant, will help with the dishes. Dominic shook his head small in response to Reurus' suggestion.

Then what will you help me with? Looking at the Reurus tilting his neck, Bartolo tilts his neck in the same way.

"What, kid, don't you know Dominic's arm? He's retired now, but he was originally one of the best adventurers in town.

"Eh... really?

That's what I was told. I looked at Dominic. Not as strong as Bartolo, but a musculoskeletal body nearly 180 centimeters tall is certainly suited to rough events. If I may say so, I am convinced by Dominic's strange power.

When I was first taken to the Adventurers' Union, I took magic measurements, but I heard Dominic could use magic. I don't know what kind of magic it is, but if you can use magic, it won't be weak.

"By the way, what kind of adventurer are you?

"Higher and lower."

"Are you better than Senpai Nicola!? Or is it not higher than Kimira!?

It wasn't really a robust atmosphere, but I didn't think it was that strong. From that surprise Reurus opened his eyes, but Dominic sighed with his shoulders.

"... that was a long time ago."

Is it humility or fact? With Dominique answering lightly, Bartolo narrows his eyes to remember something.

"It hasn't been that long. Kid, this town is famous for Dominic... well, I don't know if I've just come to this town."

"It's a shock that you didn't know that famous story... but now you're retired from adventurers, right? How about pulling it out?"

I understand that Bartolo came here in anticipation of Dominic's “arm”. But Dominic's right. It's a story of the past.

Reurus has never actually seen how strong Dominic was, but now that he owns a restaurant, he must have fallen off as an adventurer. I couldn't convince Reurus to rely on Dominic for that.

"He will have fallen back from the battle. My guess will be dull. But I still need your help."

Bartolo also understands what Reurus is saying. Still, he said he needed Dominic's help, and then he sighed.

"Neither Nicolas nor Sharon could get rid of it. There aren't many bills that can be cut in that way. But as president of the Adventurers Association of this town, I have a duty to protect it at all costs."

"... oh, I know. I can help you if you want."

Was there some sort of cohesion, or was it to let Reurus hear about the break-in along the way? When Dominic accepts Bartolo's request, Bartolo nods satisfactorily and starts walking outside the store.

Reurus opens his mouth in a reflexive attempt to pull Bartolo back, but eventually closes his mouth without saying anything. Reurus was also part of the abandoned city of Laval, and that's why he didn't kick Bartolo out.

There was nothing more to say than Dominic had contracted, and Reurus sat in the chair beside him and scratched his head.

"... by the way, Oni-san, Corona's not too messy either, is she?

Reurus jokingly asks Dominique what to say when he is pulled out of battle despite retiring his adventurer and asks about a corona he cannot see on the spot. Hearing that, Dominic snorted as he resumed cooking.

"I don't think so. Elvish, if you get lost and try to attack your daughter, you can just“ fold ”it."

…………

Reurus jokes lightly - "probably” jokes back to Dominic. If the Reurus silences for a few dozen seconds, it will reboot.

"In the meantime, please cook something proper. After dinner, I'll go back to my client....."

Reurus decided to forget what he had just heard and thought he'd start by eating his belly.

It seems that if Kimira attacked, Dominic would fight, but that's the story of attacking me. Even if it were a monster, I don't think it would be possible to target the abandoned city of Laval, which is purposely fortifying its defenses, and if we remain vigilant for a while, we might turn our territory into another place.

Until Dominic's cooking was ready, it was a revulsion to pray to a god unknown in this world that this disturbance would calm down without incident.

--The next day, the alarm sounded early in the morning, and I was reminded that prayer was meaningless.
