A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The abandoned city of Laval is situated to the south-east of the fortified city of Laval, overlooking.

A high stone wall surrounding the town of Laval, an empty borehole that exists to boost your defenses. In the event of an accident, the water would be put into a water borehole, but Laval Waste City was formed in the southeast area of Laval using the empty borehole as the border.

If you head north along the empty moat from the abandoned city of Laval, a large field will exist, and if you head west or south, you will hit the forest. Forests dot the east, and there aren't many places to call the plains.

Still, if one walks, one can walk. From the abandoned city of Laval to the east, Reurus looked around impressively as he walked along the path made naturally by the movement of people.

The equipment is a set of leather armor, Dominic's large sword, plus a dagger fixed on the back of the waist and a single-bladed sword borrowed by the Adventurers Association. Eliza and Sharon have the same equipment as yesterday, but Eliza carries a leather backpack and Sharon somehow carries a cloth bag.

"I've never been here before, but there's a way."

Although grass grows everywhere, it acts as a “way” to be convinced by others. It seemed like an unpaved country road, but it was more stable at its feet than walking through forests and woods.

"If we go a little further north, there's a well-maintained street in Laval... but you can't use it."

"Hmm? Why, senpai?"

Reurus looks strangely at Sharon's words as he accompanies Eliza as a mentor and watchman. As expected, it is not paved with asphalt, but if there is a properly maintained road, it would be safer to use it.

"... not only Laval, but also soldiers from other towns patrol the streets. If we're alone, we could be judged to be thieves and caught."

"No!? Adventurer ID!?

"I hope you stop there....."

It can also be “eliminated” without stopping. Reurus frowned on Sharon, closing his eyes.

"Perhaps the adventurer's ID isn't very helpful?

"It depends on the place and the opponent... the Laval soldiers will stop..."

I shake my neck like that, but Sharon doesn't seem to have a clear answer.

"Traders and travelers also pass through big streets, so it's not good for armed adventurers to use them."

"Soldiers aren't good enough, but adventurers aren't... hah, that's a terrible story."

While telling her to throw up, Reurus was convinced. Whether you are an adventurer or not, it should only be seen as an armed group by soldiers, merchants, or travelers. Rather than ascertaining whether he is an adventurer, it would be better to consider him a bandit or bandit and deal with him from the outset.

And even if that mistake kills the Adventurer, it won't be a big problem. It must be judged worse to stay at the place.

While having such a conversation, Reurus and Sharon are constantly watching their surroundings. If anyone was alarmed at the scene, it was only Eliza, who walked back and forth between Reurus and Sharon.

Reurus stands at the head and Sharon at the temple. The least experienced - Eliza with no combat skills is in the middle of safety. However, just because it's safe doesn't mean you can be alarmed.

Yesterday I was told to continue to feel my magic, and at the same time I was told to be alert to my surroundings. Is it difficult to sense her magic and search for enemies around her? Eliza quickly loses her focus.

Uno, Reurus

"What? It was nice to be able to bathe in the water, but Eliza didn't have a change of clothes."

"That can't be helped!?

When Reurus threw a joke at Eliza walking with a calm expression, Eliza cried out with her face red. If there were monsters nearby, it would have been loud, but nothing caught in Reurus's guesswork.

"It's about changing clothes... is it really okay to use" this "?

Eliza shows the baggage she is carrying in such trouble. I carry a leather backpack with clothes and towels that I borrowed from Corona.

In the meantime, I returned to Dominic's restaurant thinking about lending my spare clothes, but Corona gave me a backpack packed with clothes as she had predicted.

I thought Mr. Reurus would leave Elizabeth alone and clean her up.

As for Reurus, who was given a backpack with a gentle smile, it was embarrassing that a girl who was supposed to be far younger, including her predecessor, was reading her actions and thoughts. Still, thanks to Eliza, she borrowed it.

"Corona says it's good, so it's good. I heard about your“ circumstances, "but be honest with others."

"Uhh... I see... I see..."

If you're looking to get clothes in the Laval Waste City, you'll have to buy second-hand clothes or make new ones at the used clothing store. You can make your own clothes, but if not, you need to make them bespoke.

Even if you buy it at a used clothing store, the average price is five large copper pieces. I can't assure you that the price will fluctuate depending on the size of the clothes, usage, and the decorations attached, but even if you buy a small Eliza outfit, you will need three large bronze coins.

Even if it is clothing, it is the price of one shirt. Buying them, including trousers, will cost even more and require silver coins.

"I'll buy you clothes when I get the money, so borrow it until then. You should thank Corona every time you face her. I'll thank you too."

"Hmm... I see."

Eliza nodded honestly in response to Reurus's words. Sharon's expression changed slightly after hearing the conversation, but Reus and Eliza walked vertically ahead without noticing it.

Even from Sharon's eyes, the distance between Reurus and Eliza is getting closer. As far as I could observe yesterday, Eliza's vigilance seemed to be very strong, and Reurus did not seem to have forgiven her.

What happened in just one night? Eliza was still vigilant about Sharon, but compared to yesterday, it was a cloud mud gap.

"Still, there are no monsters... Senpai Sharon, do you ever encounter monsters in two days?

"Of course, but if you leave town, you're more likely to encounter it. I may have moved far away in fear of Kimira....."

Sharon replies with his expression back to Reurus, looking over his shoulder and asking.

"According to what Natalia told me yesterday, I hardly encountered any monsters around Laval. At least five are encountered a day as the adventurer spreads around and keeps an eye out. But it didn't happen."

"Hmm... has the ecosystem collapsed under the influence of Kimira? I'm glad everyone in town is safe, but as an adventurer, it's a shame it's not in the prey."

I've seen monsters every day since Reurus started working as an adventurer in the abandoned city of Laval. Sometimes Reurus fights directly or encounters other adventurers fighting. I heard that it suddenly disappeared, and I felt that the Reurus would not fall into my heart.

The roads you are currently walking may also pass by disturbed forests. I should have encountered one of the monsters before, but today there is no shadow or shape.

Are you blunt? But I don't feel the magic of Senpai Sharon and Eliza....)

Reurus thought his intuition had stopped without any premonition, but I could feel the magic of Eliza and Sharon walking behind him. Then Reurus wondered if there were only monsters in the area where he could find them.

The distance at which Reurus can feel the signs of the monster is about fifty meters. However, you can't realize whether it is influenced by the amount of magic of the opponent, or if horn rabbits without magic are not approaching very close.

On the other hand, Kimira and others felt magic over a hundred meters away. It was in the form of a fear of shaking your whole body like piercing ice in your spine, but it is also evidence of a proper reaction as a sensor to explore monsters.

I can't sense magic even passing by the forest, and even if I look up at the sky from time to time, I don't see any monsters flying in the sky. There is also the purpose of confirming the location of the river to the east and bathing Eliza in the water, but as an adventurer, it is a matter of death and death that cannot be rewarded for killing monsters.

Of course, you can just take home the information that there were no monsters and get paid. In this case, Sharon will be with us, and it won't be a false report. However, it was scary that there were too few monsters as a prelude to an abnormal situation.

Walking like that for an hour and a little bit. Considering the straight distance, walking about two kilometers east of Laval Waste City began to hear water sounds from somewhere. If you clear your ears, it is the sound of water flowing, and Reurus looks to Sharon for confirmation.

"Is there a river near here?

"Yes, there was a landmark when I was a little closer..."

And there were trees that were dropped unnaturally, which Sharon had shown with his staff. The unnatural tree grows in the forest and continues like a sign.

Follow this landmark to the riverside.

"But you're gonna cut through the woods...."

It seems that we need to deviate from the path we have been walking and continue through the woods. Reurus showed difficulty, but Eliza approached and pulled Reurus' clothes with her eyes full of expectations. I'm silent, but I think I'm in a hurry to say 'hurry'.

"... danger?

"I can't say no. But there are regular adventurers around here. Sometimes people come together to bathe in the water, and it's safer than the forests on the south side of town."

"That would be safer than the forest where Kimira lived...."

Seeing Eliza pulling her clothes in a hurry, Reurus sighed small. I wonder if entering the woods is a precaution to avoid being peeked at from the road. I can hear the water, but I can't see through the perturbed trees.

"It's more efficient to go into the woods to find monster tracks. And if we go to the water, there may be monsters."

Having heard Sharon's opinion, Reurus was convinced that it was too. I wonder if that's what Sharon, the adventurer's senior, said.

"... by the way, senpai. What's in that bag?

So Reus turned to the cloth bag that Sharon was carrying. I was worried, but I couldn't hear anything.

Sharon answered with a serious look, without losing sight of Reurus' query.

"Get dressed."

Apparently Sharon was looking forward to bathing too.

I stepped into the woods and watched my surroundings for five minutes before I saw the river. The ground has also changed to a riverbank covered with round stones and gravel rather than soil, and Reurus has stepped on the ground several times to confirm the good and bad scaffolding.

If you are not careful, there is a danger of getting stuck in stone or slipping your feet with gravel. Slipping your feet while fighting monsters can be fatal. When I was about to be killed by a horny rabbit, the cause was the stone.

Then Reurus confirmed the river flowing next to him. The river is nearly ten meters wide and the water is quite abundant. Looking down at the water, the fish are swimming in a pleasant way. There were no monsters around drinking water.

"Let's get you out of the shower. You can go in first."

Sharon was checking the surroundings just like Reurus, but I advised Eliza to take a shower first.

"Uhhh... is that good?

"Me and Reurus will check for any monsters around. I can't keep you safe if I leave you behind."

Sharon answers fearfully and pragmatically to Eliza. Apparently, she wants Eliza to bathe herself in the water while keeping her surroundings safe.

--I want to believe that I'm not taking a leisurely bath.

"If a monster comes out in the shower, raise your voice and dive into the water. No matter how many monsters are in the water, the movement is slow, and there are no dangerous monsters living around here that can take out the target in a single blow."

"Senpai, senpai. There's a chimaira out there recently that looks like it's going to take out an underwater target with a single blow, right?

"... as soon as you hear my voice, me and Reurus will come to help you. Never get up from the water until then."

Sharon, who had been pointed out by Reurus, slightly turned away and continued his conversation. Kimira will only be a good duck, such as someone in the water, to manipulate lightning magic. Nevertheless, Reurus swallowed the doubt, not expecting to encounter the second Kimira in such a short time.

"I see... I see."

Speak up and run into the water if you think it's dangerous. That's all Eliza can do. Eliza walked straight to the water, lowering her backpack to the ground and looking back.

"Ugh...."

"Hurry up and get in. Senpai Sharon is going to freak you out... ugh!?

The moment I told him half the joke, Sharon was stabbed in the trunk by a leather armor with a stick he had. Sharon looks coldly at Reurus screaming unexpectedly.

"That doesn't make me angry....."

"I'm already angry... no, it's nothing, yes"

Staring at Giroli, Reurus immediately raised the white flag. It didn't hurt because of the leather armor, but the shock was transmitted.

"So, what happened? Me and Senpai are getting out of here right now.

I don't want to see Eliza take off her clothes like this. Sharon doesn't intend that either.

Confirming the direction of the wind with a serious expression as if it were a lie earlier, you start walking downstream of the river - towards the wind. The wind is blowing downstream, so the monsters who smelled the Reurus may approach.

"I'll check this side. Reurus speaks up when there is a monster out of his control. I'll be on my way."

"Yes. Senpai hasn't recovered his magic yet, so don't push it.... what the hell is going on?

Reurus questions Eliza as she approaches with her backpack on the ground. Then Eliza opened her mouth with a crying face.

"Now I realize... bathing in the water means undressing, right? Nothing, but you're taking off your clothes here?

That's how Eliza hugs herself embarrassed. As far as I can tell, Eliza originally came from a family name. It would be embarrassing to undress outdoors - but it's too late to notice.

"... you've been living in the mountains for years, haven't you? Why did you do that?

"When I was bathing in the water, I thought you guys were together... I mean, alone..."

I don't mind taking a bath with my family, but it seems embarrassing to be naked and immersed in water alone. It was a Reurus that I wanted to put in the first notice, but after more time, Sharon would shoot an ice arrow.

"... first, take off the belt and the string that is fastened in front of your clothes. So, put it in the water with your clothes on. Next, take off the clothes you are wearing in the water and wash them, then use the last washed clothes to hide and wash your body. Here we go."

Unlike modern clothing, clothing in this world is simple in construction. The shirt Eliza was wearing was tied in front of her clothes with a string instead of a button, and as soon as she untied the string, she took it off. Take off your pants as soon as you take off your belt.

The clothes stick to the skin when you inhale water and it is difficult to remove them, but if you put them in water with the strings and belts removed from the beginning, you will take off your clothes without having to struggle to do so.

"Oh, oh... I see! Then don't be ashamed!

(There's something wrong with this guy...)

Eliza nodded impressively, and Reurus groaned with surprise. It's "missing” to be able to read, write and calculate characters. There are many problems with vectors that are different from Reurus, who does not know the common sense of the world.

Eliza rushed to the water with joy, looking back on the way, and said shy.

"... you can't peek? I can't, can I? How about that? Never, huh?

Eliza murmured as she unfastened the strings fastening to the front of her clothes in order to do what Reurus said. It is a remark made while looking at the flickering and revulsion and blushing his face.

"Ha...."

"I laughed at him with my nose!?

When he heard that, Reurus smiled with his nose and lowered a big sword that was difficult to swing in the forest. Then, I repaired some stones for throwing and packed them in a bag that I lowered to my waist.

"And you're preparing indifferently!?

"I'm not saying anything stupid about the kid. Just put it in the water... and call me as soon as anything happens.

It was a Reurus who tried to let go after at least ten years of growth, but Eliza was thirteen years old and some people in this world were married.

So when I told him to call me immediately, I started walking upstream of the river to watch out for the surroundings.
