A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Reurus joyfully and courageously jumped out of the Adventurers' Union and headed south from the abandoned city of Laval. There was a forest after twenty minutes of walking, but I came there and held my head.

"Yikes... I forgot to borrow my sword..."

Kimira was wandering in the south forest, and if you walk for a few days, you'll reach the village of Shena, where you were born. Compared to the woods on the east side of Laval Waste City, there were many trees, and the death of Kimira made the monster's activities unstable.

Therefore, I realized that there was no sword when I tried to hold the handle of the sword, thinking that I would never encounter a monster here. All I had was a large sword and a spare weapon and dagger for demolishing monsters.

Would you like to go back to Laval and borrow your sword? But even if I come back now, I'm going to be teased as an idiot who forgot to borrow a sword.

"... I can't swing around in the city, and it's perfect for training."

He sighed one by one and reached out to the great sword he was carrying. The weight is the same, but the sword is long and it is difficult to pull it out of the sheath.

Reurus is oblique on the front of the body, unraveling the sword band that was like a sling, and lowering the big sword into the ground with a sheath. Then I grabbed the handle and pulled it out of the sheath, but it became easy for the weight of the great sword.

The same goes for Dominic, but it's physically too heavy. I tried to hold it with both hands and lift it, but my arms trembled with a pull.

When I fought Kimira, I was able to swing it with one hand, but now I can only lift it with both hands.

(I wonder what that was...)

The power used to defeat Kimira. Those who saw it say with one voice that it is magic similar to "strengthening". However, it was only similar, and the reality seemed different.

(I can't use it on my own will, but rather activate it on my own... no, I would have died if I hadn't activated it on my own, but it's a little more user-friendly...)

Kimira would have killed me if it weren't for the unknown power. But if I could handle it freely, I might not have been in trouble in the first place.

(Besides, I'm so hungry... if Estelle's story is true, I'm convinced of everything.)

While holding the great sword, Reurus remembers the conversation he had with Esther.

(A magical vortex of power to eat... I don't know if it's resistant to poison, but have you been eating insects and tree roots since you were a kid? I wonder if you're turning what you ate into magic...)

When I first visited the Adventurers Association, I checked the presence or absence of magic with the Magic Measuring Equipment. At that time, it was said that there was no magic, but in retrospect, the day before the magic was measured, I used the force of example on the horn rabbit opponent. As a result, the magic disappeared and the Magic Measuring Equipment didn't catch on either.

I couldn't help it because I didn't have a diet in Shenna Village where I could accumulate magic, but it seems that all the magic that I thought I had accumulated over the past fifteen years was used up in the battle against the Horn Rabbit.

About half a month later, I ate at Dominic's restaurant, and when I defeated the monster, I could eat as many bodies as I wanted. It is a pity that I was unable to eat Kimira, but I was unconscious for three days after I defeated her. In addition, powerful monsters appear to have many uses and were sold before the meat was damaged.

When I arrived in the abandoned city of Laval, I thought I could defeat Kimira as a result of the improved diet, and now I wish my home had been destroyed. Just thinking about how much there was a “difference” from the current situation will cause your mood to drop suddenly.

(Well, it's all hypothetical... I don't know when I can use it, I don't know how much I can use it, once I use it, I'll release all my power... if it's a condition, it'll be a beating of one or eight.)

I don't know how long the effect lasts, but if it expires while fighting monsters, I may die.

More than living as an adventurer, it would be a useful ability to use freely. But I have to figure out how to use it myself.

Given the state of activation so far, Reus wonders if it can be activated if he is exposed to a life-threatening situation - but if not, he dies. It was too bothered to check it.

"... ahn?

In the meantime, we must be able to fight without relying on uncertainties. It was a revulsion that narrowed my mind, but there was something that caught my mind.

Not even chills, a slight discomfort. I would have missed it before because of my mind, but once I saw it, I had painful eyes.

"Whether it's a rabbit or not..."

Reurus decides it's probably a horny rabbit. You can run longer than you realized before, but I don't know if the weight of the great sword can pull my leg and run out. In that case, he decided to intercept and held the big sword in his hands on his right shoulder.

It was, as expected, the horn rabbit that showed itself from the shade of the tree in less than thirty seconds. In this world, the rabbit, called Epel, has two sharp horns in addition to the body of a large dog.

The hierarchy of monsters is classified as subordinate, and among monsters, it can be said to be a jungle fish. But if you're careful, you'll be skewered with leather armor at the corner of your head.

Reus put his strength into the hand holding the handle of the great sword, and opened his legs wide and stood firmly. You can't move fast without a great sword. In that case, it would be easier to position yourself to intercept from the front.

Square rabbits are also aware of the existence of the revus, and they stick in a straight line without hesitation. The speed was like a beast running through the earth, and ran through a distance of nearly thirty meters in one breath.

--But it's not so hard to follow with your eyes.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Step forward with a roar of temper. Stepping into the ground with momentum, he waved down the great sword on his right shoulder with all his might.

It's a slaughter of no skill, no power. Leaving it to the momentum that stepped in, it swings down from the face that relied on even the weight of the great sword.

Not only did the flash slash the horn rabbit that came into the straight line from above, but the momentum fell into the ground.

"... it's as sharp as ever. Now I don't have to say anything lighter."

If you succeed, it will break, and even if you don't succeed, the blade will be destroyed. However, the big sword pulled out of the ground had no blade damage, and Reurus leaked a stunning voice.

Dominic, a former senior underadventurer who was Corona's father, used a large sword that was significantly different than a regular weapon.

That is, the magic of "Enhancement" is engraved on the sword by the technique of engraving the magic called "magic letter" as a letter. This makes the sword much more robust and sharp than the usual sword, and it is perfectly safe for amateur reuses to handle the sword roughly.

However, I wanted to use it as much as possible, since it was a weapon used by Dominic, the benefactor, from Reurus.

"That's the result... well, we need to train harder."

I was able to take down the Horn Rabbit with a single hit, but what if multiple monsters were attacking at the same time? Understanding that, Reurus sighed with his eyebrows raised.

Still, it doesn't change that I was able to defeat the monster. Place the large sword next to it and pull out the dagger to retrieve the two horns from the half-baked horn rabbit.

"Can you... buy this fur?

It is in a splattered state rather than worn out because it was slashed by force from above. I couldn't peel off the fur for a while, but it was dirty with blood and flesh. You will receive a Crusade Reward because you have two horns, but you won't be able to expect a reward for the materials.

I still regret that I should have borrowed my usual sword, but it is already too late. Still, I try to manipulate the dagger to retrieve as much fur as possible.

"... that's impossible."

I know how to dismantle it from Nicolas, but it was too bad. Reurus looked at the remaining meat by peeling off the fur when he cut himself out of the way.

It's a little dirty with soil and sand, but you should be able to eat it if you want to. When Reurus enters the woods watching his surroundings, he quickly collects affordable dead trees and returns. And far enough away from the woods, he took the flint and the gold he got from Natalia and started sprinkling sparks towards the wood debris for ignition.

"Ooh? Ooh... wow"

Trials and mistakes only take a minute. Watching the wood chips light up, he transfers the fire to the dead trees he picks up. Then the fire moved more easily than I thought, and after a few minutes, the fire became so strong that it could be called a fire.

That's all, but Reurus is touched by the fire he made with his own hands. Then he grabbed the horny rabbit's flesh and began to grill it with fire.

I don't mind raw meat if I can eat it, but I got a set of flints from Natalia. In addition, there is salt, so it is not difficult to taste.

Of course, you don't fail to be vigilant while you're cooking meat. He keeps his great sword by his side and concentrates his nerves on finding something to catch his eye on.

But did there happen to be any monsters nearby, or were you alert to Reurus, who dismantled the horn rabbit in the middle of the plain and started yakiniku? There was no monster approaching.

Unfortunately, if they interrupted the meal, Reurus burned the horny rabbit's meat.

It is the horny rabbit's feet that Reurus is baking. He peeled the fur with a dagger and exposed the bone as a handle to make it easier to bake. If you can describe the shape in one word...

"Ma... manga meat!

Because the firepower is not stable, it has been raw and burned all over the place, but the Reurus created what we call manga meat, which was a potentially irresistible substitute.

Reurus shakes the salt with his trembling hand, and bites it all the way to the meat's heat. Then he stood up and chewed the meat for a thousand times, and nodded satisfactorily.

"Delicious... thank you very much."

It is the first handmade dish in the world. Reurus swallowed the flesh with the momentum of sucking to the bones, and the remaining horned rabbit flesh began to decompose and bake.

It is fresh meat that has just been killed. It tastes like blood because it is not bleeding out, but it is delicious enough after subtracting it. The seasoning was also simple with salt, but I thought it was unusually delicious because I cooked the monsters with my own hands.

"Phew... it was delicious!"

In the end, Reurus, who had eaten a whole bunny, leaked a pleasant voice. All that was left was the fur and bones of the horned rabbit, which were stained with blood and torn apart, and the guts. Reurus washes the blood around his mouth and hands with his water bottle and sprays it onto the fire to extinguish the fire.

Even though he hasn't had lunch yet, has he eaten too many horny rabbits? Although I thought so, it is a revulsion that does not make my body feel heavy. Instead, I'm getting a little dissatisfied that you're still eating.

(I mean, no... I'm here to kill monsters)

Although I accidentally started yakiniku, the original purpose is to eliminate monsters. If the monster stopped by because of the smell of yakiniku, it would save me the trouble of finding it, but there was no monster who stopped by with hate.

What happens to the taxes you pay in the Waste City when you kill the monster and eat it right there? The ingredients will be drawn, but the meat... hmm?

I lost my appetite and ate everything, but what about the taxes I pay to Laval Waste City in this case? It was a revulsion that I was thinking about, but I felt a tingling on my neck and raised my eyebrows.

It's a stronger sign of magic than when you were a horny rabbit. I leaned my neck to wonder if I had waited for the meal to be finished, but I don't think the monster was that disciplined.

There are few comparisons, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't seem to be as big as Kimira. Still, it is strong enough to be disconnected immediately if it is not weaker than a horny rabbit.

You don't know him? Or is it the camelid?

The travel speed is not so fast, and I wonder what the revus should do. You can fight like this because you've already defeated Kamakiri several times. But if it was a monster you didn't know, you'd better run.

In the case of monsters without information, I don't know what kind of attack method they have, and I don't know if they use magic. I don't want to encounter monsters that are stronger than Kimira, but they may be weaker than Kimira or stronger than Reurus.

Reurus with the great sword retreated slightly away from the forest. If he had come out of the woods in search of food, there would still be leftovers of horny rabbits. That's why we might be heading to get some food without having to fight the Reurus.

(But it could be a monster that puts the city in danger like Kimira, even if it's only seen from afar.....)

What matters to Reurus today is to live in the abandoned city of Laval. In order to do that, we had to find out if it would harm the abandoned city of Laval.

Even if the magic you feel is weak, it may be a very powerful monster. In that case, Reurus will also be prepared to intercept them here.

After all, Laval Waste City does not have a powerful force. Nicolas was wounded and unable to fight properly, and Sharon drained too much magic from her Kimilla opponent. Bartolo, the president of the Adventurers' Association, is also not fully recovered.

There are other adventurers, but I've never heard of anyone who can use magic like Nicolas or Sharon.

So, if you're going to be the enemy of the abandoned city of Laval, I decided to intercept you here. Reurus thought he would get one arm and one foot even if he couldn't win.

Until then, my heart calmed down as if it were a lie to eat yakiniku. Reurus took a deep breath to calm his breath and put his strength into the big sword he held with both hands.

……

However, the magic signs of approaching are stopped because you were alert to the awaiting revus. The opponent seems to be hiding in the trees of the forest, but from Reurus, the signs were “full sight”.

"Who are you!? Show yourself!

In the meantime, I think it's possible for people to speak up. Perhaps he escaped from the village like himself if he came out of it. Or get lost in the woods.

I didn't intend to slay a human being in the same situation as myself, and I was hoping that there would be some movement with this as a revulsion.

If the other person is intelligent enough to understand the human language, there will be some kind of reaction. In that case, is it a person in distress - or a powerful monster? Because I feel the magic, the latter is more likely.

I decided that if there was no reaction, I would be a monster with low intelligence, and if there was a monster I had never seen before, I would leave the scene. Fighting monsters without information is extremely dangerous. It's not reckless enough to get away without hindrance.

(... don't you move?)

I counted it in my head for about ten seconds, but the opponent didn't move. This is no laughing matter if it's just a matter of mind, but Reus believes in his conjecture.

This is a reliable conjecture that has saved lives many times before. If there is a problem, it is to suspect the conjecture and mishandle it. I used to ignore my intuition as uncomfortable, and was about to be killed by a horny rabbit, so I still attached more importance to it.

"Eh...."

It may be a surprise to slash yourself into something like that. It was a revulsion that started thinking about such a mess, but there was movement on the other side and I took a small breath.

Were you alert to the waiting revus, or was there another reason? The signs of hiding in the trees slowly started to move, approaching as they stepped on crispy and dead leaves.

(Whether a demon or a snake comes out... this world seems to have snakes like demons and monsters, so it won't be stylish.)

No matter what comes out, you won't be surprised. It was a realuse that I could tell myself, but I couldn't help but open my eyes to the other person who had stepped on the grass and trees.

"... a child?

It was only one child who appeared from the gap in the trees.

He is wearing a worn-out coat and a hood to hide his face. Still, there is a peachy blond hair peeking from the end of the hood. If I judge by the length of the hair alone, is it a girl? The eyes visible between the hood and the hair are red and staring at the revulsion.

Your body is hidden by your jacket and hood, but you're not that tall. Looking at her feet, she looked barefoot and, judging by her appearance alone, looked like a small girl who had escaped from some village.

(Couch who escaped on the way to being sold as a slave like me, or ran away from the village... I wish I could honestly think so)

Reurus feels his lips dry due to tension. It doesn't look harmful, but Reurus' intuition is responding to the girl in front of her.

It's not that intense, but at least it will have magic. Or it is possible that the girl in front of her is a monster and is only taking on the appearance of a person.

There are monsters and magic in this world. It is no wonder that powerful monsters are turned into humans.

"Who are you...?

He asked with a low voice, putting his strength into both hands holding the great sword. I wish I were a human, but if this was a monster, I needed to get out of sight.

Reurus doesn't know how powerful a humanoid monster is. You should have the information first - if you can go home alive - so long as you can't tell if it's dangerous.

In response to the alert Reurus, the girl responded decisively after “somehow” wandering her gaze for a few seconds.

"My name is Eliza-Valjebe! A proud bloodsucker!
