A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Reurus headed upstream on the river, walking lightly as he explored the surrounding signs. The great sword she had carried so far was very light because she had placed it where Eliza was bathing.

I felt the weight because I wore leather armor and swords, but it was much easier than when I was carrying a big sword.

"I can't just swing around in the woods...."

It was a realuse that walked along the river, but surrounded by trees. There were too many obstacles to swing around with my ability named "Caloric Release" not activated.

In that case, it would be easier to use a regular single-blade sword. As a Reurus, it seems less reliable than the Great Sword, but most weapons are less reliable than Dominic and the Great Sword, which are also called magical instruments.

If Dominic had been the original owner, he could have easily swung his sword through the woods. But the only thing we can do with the Reurus now is to be “shaken” by the Great Sword. In that case, the sword is better.

It's still a long way to go to treat it freely, but it's the weight you need to hit to build your body. The food situation has also improved since we came to Laval Waste City, so if we stay this way, we will have muscles commensurate with the amount of exercise.

(How much do I have to eat to be like you...?

I am blessed to be unparalleled when I was in Shena Village, but how many meals do I eat makes me as muscular as Dominic? If you continue to be an adventurer, you may feel muscular, but in the case of a revulsion, you don't know if all the nutrients you've eaten will go to your body.

It's not so sure as to prove it, but it seems that his body is converting what he ate into magic and storing it.

What happens to the nutrients that are supposed to be spilled on the body then bothers Reurus' head.

(So hunting and eating a lot of monsters will nourish your body?

But an easy and brainy solution came to mind right away. Not only the meal we eat at Dominic's shop, but also eating monsters as much as possible will help us grow our bodies.

To do this, we must find and defeat monsters that can be defeated by ourselves, even at the grassroots level. However, I have not encountered monsters yesterday and today, and if I succeed, I will not fight monsters in the future.

(Kimira's influence... it's only natural for monsters to run away from dangerous creatures... hmm?

It was a realuse walking around, but there was something caught in my mind and I stopped. A slight discomfort, not cold. That is proof that they perceived the monster.

"The monsters are coming from my thoughts!?

Indeed, Reurus noticed a sign of the monster - but before he could find out where it was, “something” popped in and raised his voice.

One second to look in the direction of sensing the faint magic. It took two seconds to determine that it was the magic of the monster. In a total of three seconds, a giant dog jumped in without biting his neck, filling the distance that had been open between him and Reurus.

Ooooooooooooo!

It was already too late when the surrounding roars reached Reurus' ears. A huge dog kicked the ground and jumped while drooling and opening his mouth wide, peeking at his sharp teeth.

The only thing that caused the revulsion was to protect the neck with the right arm while reflectively twisting the body.

"Heh!?

Shock and pain to the right arm. The dog's monster fangs, which jumped from the side to the ground, swallowed into his nails and the revus was pushed to the ground.

Gruuuuuuuuuuu!

A roar that can be heard in the immediate vicinity of your ears. A dog monster, a creature that should be regarded as a magic dog, eats the nails of Reurus and sparkles its eyes.

The length of the magic dog will be more than one meter. In terms of previous life, the size of a large dog is tight, and the harder it is to push back when pushed down, the heavier it is.

The demon dog has seen Reurus before. When I lived as a serf in Shena village, I was a monster who often wandered around the village.

A magic dog that exhales the smell of beasts and strengthens its ability to chew while drooling its saliva. It was a revulsion that hurt my body with a knocked down shock, but not now when I am suffering from pain. To cover his neck, his right-hand arm is sealed.

The weapon has a sword and a dagger, but the handle is on the left side of the body to pull out with the dominant hand of both. The Magic Dog is jumping from the right side, perhaps with the aim of sealing off the weapon.

"Nh... nnh!

But you can't do it for free with Reurus. Use your full body spring to push the Magic Dog back slightly and change your posture to free your left arm. Then, near his neck, he set his aim on the right eye of a magic dog who was about to bite his right arm with his nails, and shoved his left thumb into it.

Gaww!?

With the feeling of crushing hard jelly, the magic dog screams. No matter how many monsters they are, they won't be safe if their eyes are crushed.

The Magic Dog opened his mouth and tried to escape the painful Reurus. Reurus, who sensed it, grabbed the dog's neck with his left hand - the fur - and didn't let it escape.

Even though it was bitten, the new nails were good enough. Reurus with numb pain and slight bleeding moves as intended.

"Hmm!

The magic dog's leg was punched with his right hand, and as he disfigured, he twisted his body and hit the dog's head on the ground. At the same time, when I pulled out the dagger on my hips, I shook it down towards the skull of the desperately struggling demon dog.

"Hmm!? Shit!

I noticed a second demon dog coming into my skull like the wind sooner than I smashed it with a dagger. Tattan, the footsteps are light, but the monsters weigh tens of kilometers.

Running through the earth like a four-legged monster was fast, and when Reurus realized his magic and looked back, he was approaching.

The momentum of stabbing him with a dagger won't stop. In that case, he could be rolled back to the ground and killed by the first demon dog.

The Reurus, who decided to do so, let go of the magic dog he had grabbed with his left hand and rolled straight to avoid the second magic dog. And as soon as I got up, I stood up with my dagger.

I have no time to draw my sword. If you try to pull out the sword, the Magic Dog will jump in instantly. However, it is difficult to inflict fatal wounds with a single blow with a dagger that does not have a blade span of 30 cm. I wish I could stab you in the head with a heart, but the Magic Dog moves very fast. In addition to its speed, it is also good for small turns.

(You were right to leave the Great Sword... but two... no, three monsters suddenly attack.)

Reurus whilst suppressing a demon dog roaring as intimidation, whispers his tongue inside. Only two magic dogs are facing each other directly, but there are signs of slow movement behind them.

It was a sign of magic of the same size as the magic dog in front of me, and I was told that it was going to attack the revus from behind.

Sharon, who heard this noise, hopefully ran to me, but I thought he was searching for enemies upstream and downstream of the river. There is no guarantee that you will hear the battle.

Although the right arm bitten by the magic dog is not a serious injury, it is bleeding from the fangs that penetrated the nails. There was no effect on the grip, but I felt a slight pain in my elbow or the effect of being pushed down with a bite.

Gruuuuuuuuuuuuu......

It is the second demon dog that roars. The first demon dog was scared because Reurus crushed his right eye, but there was no first momentum.

- You pulled back, didn't you?

Understanding that, Reurus laughed fiercely. I lost to the magic dog and lifted the edge of my mouth to strip my teeth.

The first demon dog has crushed one eye and will not aggressively attack. In that case, we need to crush the second demon dog before the third one trying to turn around behind us enters the fight.

Oraaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Reurus' decision to think so fast was quick. Running away with the dagger held in his right hand throwing it at the second demon dog, he squeezed the cloth bag that was enclosed in his hips with his left hand and pulled it out forcefully as he screamed to intimidate.

Then he went to the magic dog that avoided the thrown dagger, and used sudden braking while raising sand and dust to shake the cloth bag with all his strength. Inside the cloth bag is the stone picked up earlier in the riverbank. It was judged to be ineffective, and as an instant blunt weapon, I hit the magic dog's side head with all my strength.

A strike that uses centrifugal force and wrist snap to shake even with tennis rackets. Didn't you expect to attack with a cloth bag instead of a sword? The Magic Dog blew up with a dull sound without dodging it.

The blood of a demon dog dances in space. At the same time, the stone jumped out of a cloth bag that was largely torn because it was used instead of a blunt weapon. Originally, I only collected stones of affordable size for throwing. It was not particularly sturdy, and the stone itself was broken by the impact of hitting the skull of the demon dog.

I glanced at the stone that broke into the sky. Reurus grabs the broken stone unconsciously in the air and storms into a demon dog with one eye crushed who is confused whether to escape or attack in a frightened state.

He stepped on the right side of the dog, whose vision had collapsed. There's a broken and sharp stone in your hand - and it's a simple story.

Gaww!?

Now it's time to shake down a sharp stone from right above the Magic Dog and stab it in the skull. But it was just as durable and sharp as killing a monster instantly. The pierced stone breaks in the middle and the Magic Dog tries to escape.

But it's too late. Is it because you can't see your right eye, because you were stabbed in the head with a sharp stone, or because you were afraid of Reurus's sword curtain? The Magic Dog tried to distance itself slowly, and Reurus had no hesitation.

A demon dog is short to beat to death. Therefore, I will kick you to death.

Shah!

A front kick aimed at the neck of a magic dog who tried to escape. No matter how big the Magic Dog is, the Reurus wearing leather armor is heavier. The blow, which was quicker than pulling out the sword, struck the demon dog hard in the neck - it didn't kill him.

"The monster is sturdy, isn't it?"

Still, my posture collapsed. When the Reurus jumps lightly, it lands on the neck of the Magic Dog and breaks the neck with a weight difference. With the sound of breaking the raw tree, the demon dog's body trembled and stopped moving.

After confirming it, Reurus rushed to the demon dog that had been punched with a stone cloth bag while searching for the position of the third demon dog.

Gafu! Ga, gruuuu...

No matter how surprised he was, he didn't die to the point where he hit him with a blunt instrument. However, I was stepping on a crack because I was struck in the side of the head, and I couldn't afford to deal with the approaching realus.

Coming here, Reurus finally pulls out his sword. And the magic dog didn't give him time to run, and he slashed the dog's neck at will.

"The second one! Next..."

The third demon dog was too far away to be noticed by Reurus. Still, with the speed of the Magic Dog, the distance will be tightened in seconds.

Therefore, Reus held the sword unabated, but someday he realized that the magic of the "other” was approaching the magic dog.

It was Sharon who rushed in faster than the Magic Dog, using Reinforcement. I swing the wand in my hand and hit the magic dog. I jumped, pointing the wand at the neck of the magic dog that rolled over the ground.

Gokin, a dull sound echoed around. It was undoubtedly a broken bone in the neck of the demon dog, and Sharon, who easily made it, rushed towards the realus without disturbing his breath.

"I'm here to help... but was it too late?

Nice timing, senpai.

"... no chair?

Sharon leaned his neck against the words of the unexpectedly zero Reurus. Still, I looked around without worrying deeply and exhaled relieved to make sure there were no other monsters.

"There's no other Carnet."

"Carne? Oh, their names...."

Apparently, the magic dog Leurus fought with was named Carnet. Sharon checks to see if the two demon dogs that Reurus took care of are dead, and picks up the dagger that Reurus threw.

"Reurus, are you hurt?

"My right arm bit me and I bled a little... so I have to buy another one?

It was a revulsion that answered about his wounds, but the nail on his right arm fell to the ground and raised his eyebrows. Apparently, the clasp was broken when it was bitten. When I checked the exposed right arm, a small hole was opened by the swallowed fangs and blood was spilled.

"The monsters are classified as lower ranks, but the strength of each one is lower middle. Still, aiming at the target in a crowd is troublesome... that's all I've ever done."

That's how Sharon takes out the disinfectant liquor. Apparently, they'll take care of the wound. Reurus straightened out his right arm and leaned his neck as he felt the wine.

"Aiming for a herd... there was only one at first? As soon as I crushed one eye, the second one came in."

"Young individuals sometimes target their prey with just one for a courage test. Probably because of that. I think the second one came to my rescue because they thought it was bad."

"I see... it would have been terrible if three of them had come at the same time from the beginning"

I couldn't use Calorie Liberation because I couldn't say that my life was in danger halfway through it, or because I used it when I met Eliza. If the Magic Dog had been attacking three people at the same time from the beginning, Reurus might have been dead by now.

"I just checked briefly, but there were no monsters downstream. I don't have to go home today."

"Even with me, it would help. I don't know what I've been hiring lately...."

Hand over the dagger to Reurus and Sharon pulls out his dagger and quickly starts disassembling the Magic Dog. With the river flowing nearby, it would be easier to bleed out. This time, all three of them broke or slashed their neck bones, so all the materials such as fur can be removed.

Reurus remembers seeing Sharon dismantle the Magic Dog in a vivid way. Apparently, the Magic Dog has no other obvious material than fur.

"Hey, senpai."

"Not everything."

"I haven't said anything yet...."

In that case, I thought it would be okay to eat all the meat, but Sharon stopped me before I asked.

"Meat can also be sold. If you take the guts out and stuff them with ice, you can take them back to town and sell them at a high price."

"I mean, you can eat the guts, right? You're fresh, so you can live."

--In the case of fresh animal meat, the raw internal organs are more nutritious and feel good for the body.

There was too much thought in Reurus' brain about whether the resurgence of memory was good for food. Maybe it's all about appetite.

What?

What?

Sharon twitched his cheeks slightly in response to Reurus' words. Reurus leans his neck at such a Sharon.

Even so, Sharon nodded with his eyebrows raised to bear the headache.

"If you have the tools to burn the fire, I think you should bake it and eat it... I'll eat it too, so it's a bit raw..."

"No, it's raw. She said she could keep her liver and so on. You can bake it, but let's eat it raw first."

Speaking of monsters, it seems that dog meat can also eat Sharon. However, I had really begun to pull on Reurus, who insisted on eating it raw.

"Woahhhhhhhh!?

Screams arrive from afar to destroy such subtle air. After hearing that, Reus immediately pulled out his sword and ran away. Sharon also stopped the demon dog from dismantling and stood up.

The Magic Dog was defeated, but there may have been other monsters. Reurus rushed to the place where Eliza was bathing in the water in less than ten seconds and jumped into the riverbank with her sword pulled out.

"What's the matter, Eliza? Are you all right?

I don't feel strong magic, but I may have encountered a monster with little magic. That's why the wild dog you just defeated is that type, and the horny rabbit doesn't feel any magic at all.

In that case, I still feel a strange sign, but there is no such thing now.

"... heh? Let me... rusu...?

The rushing Reurus saw Eliza slipping her feet with an underwater stone or falling overwhelmingly.

She washed the clothes she was wearing in the water, took off her clothes and took a shower - and she couldn't take them off. Perhaps the pasted pants got in the way, and Eliza was half-naked with her buttocks in the river.

Elizabeth only gave a stunned voice to Reus, who jumped into the riverbank. Since she was undressing in the water as suggested by Reurus, not only did the fabric permeate with water and the color of her skin emerge, but it also clearly represented Eliza's lack of undulation.

"Hmm... what... what...?"

"... no sign of it?"

However, Reurus glanced at Eliza and immediately looked around. Eliza just screamed as she fell, and there was no shadow of the monster.

"Shit... I thought it was some extra meat. No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

With the sword in his sheath, Reurus said nothing that could not be said to be discouraged or relieved. The more powerful the monster, the worse it would have been if the dog's body had been left behind and retreated.

Once again, after exploring the surrounding signs to make sure there is no problem, Reurus starts walking toward the location where the demon dog's body is.

Behind such a revulsion. Eliza, who had her buttocks in the water, shook her body before shouting loudly.

"Nothing!” A little bit. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
