A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"... what are you doing here?

"It's called Laval Waste City... did you come near this town without knowing?

"I don't know. It was that town that I saw in the distance."

Eliza raises her doubts as she reaches the edge of Laval Waste City. I stopped crying while carrying it, but the area around my eyes became red.

It was a Reurus with a strange look on her face, but I was convinced to see Eliza pointing to the town of Laval as she lay on her arms.

I thought it was an illusion when I first saw the abandoned city of Laval. I wonder why there is a town in this place, even though there is a Laval surrounded by walls right next to it.

Reurus, smiling bitterly at Eliza's reaction, leaned his neck just inside out to see what was going on. Should I enter Laval Waste City with Eliza in my arms, or should I wait outside the town for once?

In the first place, I don't even know if there is a species of vampires who mistook Reurus for a vampire. If I were there, wouldn't it be a problem to bring me into town like this?

--I don't think so, but wouldn't he be killed the moment he knew it was a bloodsucking species?

Troubled by this, adventurers rush to protect the gates of the abandoned city of Laval. Then he loosened his expression by looking at Reurus' face, but then he opened his eyes after checking Eliza's appearance.

"Whoa... Reurus, where did that little girl come from?

"I didn't grab it... could I get taxed?

In that case, I am only a little concerned about the basis on which the tax amount can be determined. If they take money under the name of a kidnapping tax, the world's business is too deep to be funny. The adventurer who was the gatekeeper of Reurus's jokes - Tony laughed joyfully.

"I've been a gatekeeper here a long time, but I don't remember taking taxes for that reason. Is that the only girl you've got today?

"One Epel. The meat was eaten as-is, and the fur could not be recovered in pieces."

"I don't suppose I ate a living apeel in pieces... well... If it's just the horns, the taxes will be collected by Natalia's boss."

As expected, Eliza's taxes will never be collected. It was a revulsion that relieved me secretly, but I tightened my expression when I saw Tony's eyes narrowed.

"So? If you're the only one who can get through, who's your lady?

That would be a natural question as a gatekeeper. Reurus was a “customer” when he came to Laval Waste City.

"Hmm... I was wondering who it was."

A revulsion that makes Tony's voice smile with a slight amount of risk. Turning to Eliza, she was slightly shaken by Tony's vigilance or by a question.

Now that I have embraced her, I can see the size of Eliza's body. This is probably due to the fact that we didn't get a satisfactory meal, just like the Reurus used to. Or did you lose weight on your journey from Harrist to this place?

Reurus is also resistant to placing an unidentified Eliza in the Waste City of Laval. But abandoning a skinny child is also a bad wake-up call. Above all, even though it was done with intimidation, Reurus has a defeat that he cut without asking questions.

That's my recommendation.

Therefore, Reurus simply says that there is nothing to back off. Gently lower Eliza to the ground, remove the Adventurer Registration Certificate from her neck, remove the letter of recommendation, and let Eliza hold it.

Not all of Laval Waste Street's routine is known, but a letter of endorsement should not have been used anywhere in the city.

"Hey... are you insane? 'Monster eater'"

"That's right...."

The other adventurers who were rushing along with Tony showed up in the dark. From their point of view, Eliza doesn't know more about Reurus than she did before. You can't be too vigilant.

"You guys, don't pull it out."

However, Tony mutilates the voices of the surrounding doubts. Then he raised his arm up to heaven, and after a few seconds he turned a straight line of sight to Reurus.

"I would recommend it if I thought it would be good for this town... but you're responsible for" what if ”?

Ah.

Because of his own behavior, Reurus had a long way to go until he was properly accepted in the abandoned city of Laval. Still, he defeated Kimira with his life and proved his worth.

I don't think Eliza would be responsible for the murder, but if she was hiding her ambitions, it would also be responsible for the nominee, Reurus. Nevertheless, Reurus intended to pass Eliza as his “recommendation”.

"Well, then there's nothing to complain about."

"... no, Tony."

I'm sure Tony has a lot to ask, but he's going to miss out on Reurus' “recommendation.” Reurus lowered his head and lifted Eliza back to the ground.

Then he dived through the gates of the abandoned city of Laval - Tony's voice echoed from behind.

"Hey, miss. I'll give you one piece of advice, but the one with you... Reurus recently killed Kimira. That's how he stood up. Don't think about" bad things. ”

It was a warning not only to Eliza, but also to Reurus. If something goes wrong, you have to kill Eliza with your own hands.

That's what Tony said, and Eliza in her arm trembled small. Realizing it, Reurus laughs brightly as he strengthens the power to reassure.

"Hey, don't make fun of me, Tony. It was done with everyone's help."

"... well, that's what I'm gonna do."

Swap words, and now it's time to break up with Tony and the others. As she walked down the road to Dominic's restaurant, Eliza murmured.

"Bring me to this town... are you sure you're happy?

Hmm?

Reurus raised his eyebrows to a whispering voice. I was able to hear it, but I couldn't understand what Eliza was trying to say.

"Well, why... does your position get worse? I'm not an amateur, but I can tell from what I just saw. You're pretty strong, aren't you? You've been treated well in this town, right?

Eliza looks at something worrying while being held by Reurus. Reurus caught Eliza's gaze unexpectedly burst out.

Though I mistook him for a vampire, I was surprised by his attitude of caring for the revus that had been slashed with his great sword, and I was impressed at the same time.

"As a result of everything I've done, I just killed Kimira with a force I don't even know what it means. I haven't been in this city in a month. I'm not in a bad position."

Plus, connect with the words, Reurus laughs.

"The bitterness of eating nothing is meant to be understood twice as much... first of all, mess. I can't help being hungry. I'll take you to the most delicious restaurant in the world."

"I don't mind coming to the store, but at least come during business hours."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... I didn't think I was going to close my request at such an early date."

It was a Reurus dressed up for Eliza, but Dominic's restaurant wasn't open yet. As a result, Dominic smiled bitterly as he lowered his head and asked if he could make something.

Dominic has a body that can only be described as musculoskeletal and has a tight face, but his expression was soft because he recognized Reurus as “his family”.

"So, what about that sword?

"Oh no, it's heavy in many ways, onii-san. If you want to shake it normally, you can only shake it down from top to bottom. I slashed it into the ground with momentum."

Eliza sat on her chair and laughed as she stood on the wall with a big sword on her back. It was entrusted to me by Dominic, the savior of my life, but it was too heavy physically.

Dominic laughs a little at the rhetoric of such a revulsion, and his eyes narrow.

"I won't break a single blade if I get stuck on the ground. Get used to the weight for now... and what about her?

Reurus is family, but Eliza is different. Soon Dominic's right hand was holding a knife, and Reurus stood in a careless position to shelter Eliza.

"My recommendation. Somehow... she grew up in a position similar to mine. I'll pay for it, something to eat and water for now, and then...."

Eliza looked at the interior of the restaurant interestingly, wondering if she was aware of Dominic's movements.

Such an Eliza, but the dirt is noticeable whether she has traveled for a long time. I didn't mean to tell the customer directly, but the smell caused by sweat and dirt also touched my nose.

"I've eaten a rabbit, so can you get me something to wipe my face with? And finally, this child's share."

"I'm still preparing... feel free to use all the water you have stored in the cake. There's a cloth outside to wipe your face."

I cook, but it seems I should do the rest myself. Reurus looked for the corona, but could not find it in the store or hidden.

Well then, I'll borrow some cloth and water.

I suppose you're watching out for an unknown Eliza. So Reurus sat Eliza in his chair and headed outside, as Dominic told him. Then when I took two pieces of dry cloth, I went back to the store and opened the lid of the water bottle.

Since the water was not free, she rinsed the cloth with a small amount of toilet and then poured the drinking water into the glass, returning to Eliza, who looked around in a restless state.

"Here, wipe your face with this. That'll calm you down a little bit."

"Uh-huh...."

Hand over a lightly squeezed cloth and place a cup on the table. Eliza trembled as Reurus sat on her face, but began to wipe her face with no particular rebound.

After spending about a minute wiping his face carefully, he reached out to the glass. Then he turned a few times to look at the reaction of Reurus.

"Never mind. Drink it. 'Cause you can have mine."

According to Reurus, Eliza slowly but drank water in one breath. I was thirsty for as long as I swallowed the Reurus and exhaled a lot.

"I've never felt the water taste so good...."

"Oh, I see. But from now on, we'll be able to eat more delicious food."

When Reurus says so, he brings the salt soup from the wooden bowl that was originally prepared. The soup is seasoned with only salt containing stewed vegetables, just like the first time Reurus was eaten.

Still Eliza squeaks her throat with salt soup in front of her. Reurus nodded with a bitter smile as he turned his gaze again.

Then Eliza grabbed the spoon and couldn't wait. While trembling his hands, he poured the soup and carried it straight into his mouth - stiffening his body with the spoon in his mouth.

"... delicious"

About ten seconds later, Eliza had zero. It was a words of heartfelt thoughts.

Eliza's feelings are painfully understandable to Reurus. This soup, once “saved”, was delicious enough to shed tears.

I guess I was really hungry. Eliza quickly flattens a plate of salt soup, replaces it, and then bites into the black bread that came with the soup.

"It's delicious... really... really delicious..."

"Ah... it's delicious."

--Is this how you used to be?

I was hungry too, but I couldn't help but laugh at Eliza's next meal. Didn't you notice, or did you prioritize eating? Eliza was not only crying but also running down her nose.

You look just like you used to be. I thought so. Reus took a wet cloth that I had not used yet and reached out to Eliza.

"Look, I know it's delicious, but calm down. How dare you ruin your pretty face?

"Nmh...."

I'll wipe Eliza's face off when she's hungry for food. Eliza seemed surprised by the way Reurus behaved, but she wiped her face very hard because she felt that Reurus was not unusual.

"... thank you."

Reurus laughs at Eliza, who murmurs a small thank-you.

"Just eat it up. Let's start with that."

That said, Reurus also started eating salt soup.

"... so? What the hell is that girl?

Eliza fell asleep trying to lose consciousness after finishing her meal. It was Reurus who put Eliza in the straw bed of the storage facility she rented, but Dominic asked when she returned to the store.

"A girl in a situation similar to mine... that's the place, Oni-san."

"I see... but aren't you a normal person? I felt the magic."

Dominic seemed to realize that Eliza wasn't just a human being because she could use her magic. But they didn't get rid of it immediately because it was Reurus who brought Eliza.

Reurus talked hard if he was Dominic. He decided that there was no “problem” even if he consulted with him and told him about the situation.

"The bloodsucker who fled the country called Harris..." Eliza said. I don't know what a bloodsucking species is, but I mistook it for a chaotic monster. And all of a sudden I was about to slash him to death. "

Actually, I was intimidated, but it's easier to explain what I did worse than Eliza. He said he brought me to apologize for his fault.

"... what are you doing?"

Dominic sighs in astonishment. Reurus, who thought he deserved such a reaction, made no excuse and decided to listen.

"So, do you know what a bloodsucker is?

"Hmm... a bloodsucking species?"

Dominic puts his hand on his chin and thinks about it. I now run a restaurant, but I was originally an expert senior adventurer in the abandoned city of Laval. It was a Reurus who had common sense and thought that he would have a lot of knowledge of monsters, but Dominic shook his head against his expectations.

"I remember hearing it, but I don't remember the details... ask Natalia. He would know. And make sure you tell them you're from another country."

"I see... then I will. Ah, I'll leave my sword."

Dominic would also need a weapon if Eliza was up to something odd. However, Reurus didn't think Eliza was up to something. Leave the Great Sword as a pose for Dominic to watch out for Eliza.

Reurus gave Eliza and herself a piece of silver, which was all the money that was left in his hand. Fortunately, before meeting Eliza, I had a horny rabbit, so I had an income.

Considering only the cost of meals, one large piece of copper is enough, but the price is including the cost of the borrowed storage. Dominic “recommended” Reurus, so he won't take the money if he just sleeps in the storage.

Just like Dominic receives money - using a room that was used by a woman who was Dominic's wife and Corona's mother is not something to blame as a revus.

Because of these circumstances, Reurus is paying for the meal, including accommodation. There are just too many silver coins, but if you think it's for a few days, there's no shortage.

I would like to rent a decent room as a reuse, but it is unclear whether there are apartments in the abandoned city of Laval. Even if it had been, it would have been necessary to save money for borrowing first.

(I wish I hadn't eaten meat in this way... can't I sell it in such a messy state?)

The fur was worn out and much of the meat was minced. The impact of slashing from above with a large sword and hitting the ground was very large. Still, we collected the most expensive horns, so we won't be in trouble with the money right away.

(If you pay a little more weight to the church donation... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not right. It is cheap to think that the serious injury has been healed with 30% of the income that defeated Kimira)

The lack of money is the same as the lack of a neck. The sale of two horns for the slaughter of one horned rabbit should result in 200 yuan - two silver coins. Including Eliza's share would cost her a few days of food.

Reurus heading to the Adventurers Union with that in mind. From time to time, he snaps at each other's adventurers, receives greetings from residents of the abandoned city of Laval, and dives through the doors of the Adventurers' Association.

Because it was just past noon, there was no conspicuous figure in the Adventurers' Union. Natalia is just sitting at the reception with a spare face.

"Oh, you're not a boy. You're home early today, aren't you?

"A little accident... no, something unexpected happened. I need to ask your husband something. Ah, this is what I hunted today."

Put the horns on the reception table. Natalia glanced at the corner and immediately brought a silver coin and eight large bronze coins.

"A crusade reward for one Epel and the sale of two Horns of Epel... subtract the tax from it and it's 180 yuan."

"Isn't it a little cheap?

A little cheaper than expected. When she asked, Natalia pointed to the corner with the smoke tube she had in her hand.

"Hunt more carefully if you want the full price. It's scratched. And, if possible, bring back the fur."

"I don't think it's possible to carefully hunt him by swinging his big sword... and his fur was worn out."

It's not the weight you can swing around freely. You can't use the "force of example” freely, but you have to slay it. Still, I was not blamed for the feared meat and fur, but relieved by my heart alone.

Next time, I'll borrow a sword.

"Don't do that... so? What do you want to hear?

Natalia asks after the light reward before the subject. Would you be interested in the feelings in your pointed eyes? Maybe you think it will be a waste of time.

Do you know what a bloodsucker is?

--The moment I said that, Natalia's eyes were narrowed with a sword.
