A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Mataroi, a large country with vast territory on the Caldivian continent.

There are many towns and villages in Mataroi, dotted all over the country. Among them, on the south side of Mataroy, there is a city called Laval, the fortified city - and next to it there is a city called Laval Waste City.

There was a group of boys and girls in the city surrounded by poor defense equipment, compared to Laval, who was surrounded by a stone wall and placed in an empty moat on a wooden fence.

A wide street called the Boulevard among the abandoned towns of Laval, built naturally with houses and shops lined up. The boy sounds disgusting as he walks along the bustling boulevard with the girl.

"Hey church... I don't want to get close to religious relations."

Whether or not the height reaches 170cm. I'm scratching my head in a mess with my rough, red-brown hair, and I don't like it at all.

The boy is hardening himself with his nails and toenails on leather armor that seems to be of good quality. He also carried a huge single-bladed dagger on his back and lowered it as a spare weapon on his hips.

Reurus, a boy in a profession called Adventurer in the abandoned city of Laval, raised his eyebrows to the weight of the sword he was carrying.

"You should avoid talking about a baseball league that has politics and religion in it. Seriously."

"Mr. Reurus sometimes says weird things, doesn't he?

The girl looked strange in Reurus' words.

Like Reurus, a girl is about 15 years old, slightly over 150 centimeters tall, and her figure depicts a gentle undulation that should be said to be age-appropriate.

Every time I walked, the twin linen offerings swayed, and Reurus's words filled me with pleasant healthy beauty.

It is a girl with no flashy beauty but calm and cuteness that makes her feel familiar. Such a girl - Corona tells her to scold her younger child.

"I can't do that. Thank you for your help with Mr. Reurus's treatment."

"No, I know that, but... I didn't know it was religious people who treated me..."

It may be prejudicial, but it is a Reurus that can't resist. Of course, Reurus had a memory of his previous life - living in Japan in Heisei.

It's a faded memory, but I still remember a strong hook in the word "religious official."

I don't want to be involved if I can, but as Corona said, even though you treated me for the injury, I get horny when I don't say hello. However, Reurus thought he would try to escape if he was solicited.

Adjust the position of the sword band that swallows into your shoulder, thinking about what this world's religion is. The heavy sword on my shoulder made my shoulders feel tight right away.

The great sword that Reurus carried belonged to Dominic, Corona's father.

About a week ago, a monster called Kimira appeared near this abandoned city of Laval. Kimira is a monster with a lion-like body, two horned heads, three tails, and a sturdy outer shell with a black forefoot. At the end of the sentence, it emits lightning.

Nicolas the Swordsman, one of the leading adventurers in the abandoned city of Laval, Sharon the Wizard, and Bartolo, the head of the Adventurers' Association, Dominique, Corona's father and former senior adventurer. The five men who added Reus to it hit the intercept and defeated it.

Reurus, a junior adventurer who could not be counted, managed to defeat him by using magic without knowing the details himself. That was the cut, Dominic completely pulled his hand from the adventurer and entrusted the Great Sword to Reurus.

In the village of Shena, where she was born, she was treated as a serf from an early age and sold off to the mine on the occasion of an adult. However, while being transferred to the mine, Kimira attacked her and ran away with her life.

Reurus was dying of fatigue and hunger while reaching the abandoned city of Laval. Dominic and Corona were the ones who rescued Reus shortly afterwards.

In other words, Dominic is a benefactor for Reurus. Defeating Kimira allowed me to repay you, but I am still a benefactor. I was delighted, proud, and very “heavy” that Dominic entrusted me with the Great Sword.

--It was physically very heavy, but it was troublesome.

"Mr. Reurus, are you okay?

Corona is worried about what she thought of the Reurus, which frequently adjusts the position of the sword belt.

"I just want to look good... but it's really heavy."

It's still easier than holding it with both hands, but the weight of the big sword you're carrying is painful.

The thick sword has a slight contrast with one blade, and the surface is engraved with a letter called "magic letter". The magic called "Enhancement" is engraved as a letter, but it is only called the Great Sword and it is very heavy.

The shape of a whale knife should be likened to the knowledge of previous generations, but the length from the tip of the great sword to the handle is close to two meters. It is compensated by carrying it diagonally, but depending on the way it is carried, the tip is likely to be about the ground.

In addition to such a large sword, he wore leather armor and nails, toenails and daggers. The total weight will exceed twenty kilometers. I have renewed my leather armor, nails, and daggers as a reward for defeating Kimira, but I regret that they should have been made of a slightly lighter material.

When fighting Kimira, Reurus activated Mysterious Magic. It seemed to be similar to Dominic's "strengthening" magic, but the physical ability was improved enough to lift the great sword with one hand.

However, that magic cannot be activated by its own will. That's why I have to get used to the equipment with my physical abilities, and I always wear it.

(I still can't shake this sword properly... when I go to exterminate monsters, I'll make it a regular sword.)

You can walk with your current gear. I can't breathe right away, but I think I can run. But weapons are too heavy to use in combat. Perhaps it could be handled with more muscle, but at present, it was only a weight to add strength.

"Don't push me... oh, that's the church."

It was a corona that was laughing bitterly at Reurus, but seeing the destination changed the subject. When Reurus looked at it, there was an old house with a white tone.

The church is situated on the outskirts of the abandoned city of Laval. However, even if it came off, it was near the empty moat of Laval, a castle fortress city, and it was thought that it would not be attacked by monsters.

If this church were to be attacked, it would be after the entire abandoned city of Laval had been destroyed.

"This is the church... hey"

Speaking of churches I knew in my previous life, were Christian things famous? In the case of the Church of Christ, there was a cross on the roof, etc., but no such symbol was found in the church before him. If anything stands out, the appearance is white.

Approach the house through the garden spreading out in front of the church while guided by Corona. Then a wooden door caught my eye. The doors made with Kannon openings look sturdy, even though they are made of wood, and it seems like they can be prevented by attacking weak monsters.

As he got so close, Reus realized something was engraved on the door. I would have scraped the surface and painted it, but the door is engraved with a delicate picture of a woman.

(What... are you worshipping this goddess? It's a world of monsters, and it's not strange to have a god....)

Corona slams the knocker on the door as Reus leans his neck. Then, about a minute later, the door opened and a girl peered into her face from inside.

"Yes, who is it... oh, isn't it Mr. Corona?"

"Hello, Esther."

Apparently the girl's name is Esther. She seemed to be quite close to Corona, and Esther laughed joyfully.

She looked cute, but she must be older than Corona. He is as tall and small as a corona. However, good health increases Esther's army strength. That was an overwhelming difference.

Especially big chest. Compared to the people Reurus knows, is it more than opposed to Natalia, who hosts the Adventurers Association? I felt extra big because I was low in height.

Esther is wearing a black based garment similar to the monk's garment, and her head is covered with a black veil. The slightly peeking hair was golden, probably a church sister, but feeling a different color from Natalia, Reurus unexpectedly lost his sight.

"Ahh? That one over there..."

Reurus lowered his head thinking it was a long, prolonged way to talk.

"At first, my name is Reurus. I heard you cured my wounds after fighting Kimira the other day...."

"Ah, at that time... Are you all right now?

When Reurus explained his name, Esther, who had been laughing until then, turned around and looked worried. Looking at it alone, it seems that the woman is as nice as she looks.

"Thanks to you, I'm feeling better. I came to thank you today....."

Speaking of which, Reurus is in trouble because he didn't prepare any souvenirs. Would a church be grateful if it donated money?

"If you're feeling better, that's enough. Thank you very much."

Reurus said something and smiled happily from the bottom of his heart. At that time, Esther put her hands together on her chest, but her chest was shaking big according to the movement.

(Can I say Sister in this world... or can I call this child a priest...)

While fixing his gaze on the eyebrows of the ester, Reurus thinks like that.

"Oh, I'm late. My name is Esther of the Spirit Teacher."

"Thank you for being so polite... Spirit Teacher?

Reurus responds to the word teacher. Or perhaps it was a spiritual teacher, but it was a word I had never heard before.

"Um, don't you know spiritualism?

"I don't think so. I've never heard that before."

Even if I had listened, I would have listened because I didn't want to be involved in religion. I almost said that, but I shut my mouth. Reurus came as a thank you for his treatment. It is out of the question to damage the mood of the other party.

Well then, let me talk to you a little bit. What are you doing here? Please go inside the church. "

That's how you turn your back on Esther. The corona followed, and Reurus sighed through the door.

For the first time in the world, the church was roughly as Reurus imagined. Immediately after entering through the door was the chapel, which was quite spacious.

Reurus wondered if the church was meant for the faithful to sit on, or if the benches were arranged at equal intervals, and if they looked at it, the church would not change significantly even if the world changed.

"... hmm?

I was observing the interesting interior of the church with interest, but I could hear voices coming from behind. There were multiple voices, and as far as I could hear, it seemed to be the voice of a young child.

"Children...?

There must be a living space in the back of the church. From there you can hear the children.

Yes… These are the children raised in this church. "

An ester that gently smiles while putting its hands on your cheeks. As far as the words go, they are not Esther's brothers and sisters. For a moment, I thought it was the child of Esther herself, but it seems unlikely.

"Independence and mutual support are fundamental in the abandoned city of Laval, but there are limitations... that's why abandoned children and children whose parents were killed by monsters are brought up in this church."

In contrast to Esther, Corona explained with a painful face. After hearing that, Reus felt unable to say anything, but first thought of listening to Esther, put down the big sword on his back and stood on the wall.

"I have a lot to worry about, but I want you to tell me about Spiritualism first. I lived as a slave until I was fifteen. I have no idea where it is."

"... is that so?"

The tone of the ester changed slightly because I said it was a serf. Still, as soon as he returned to his original state, he turned to the stone statue installed to stand out in the chapel.

"Well then, let me explain Spiritualism very briefly."

Reurus sat on the chapel bench and straightened up to listen to Esther. I was vigilant when I heard of religion, but this world is different from the earth that lived in the last life.

I can't judge anything by not listening first. Reurus thought so.
