A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Hah...."

"Ah...."

The sound of Reurus and Eliza sighing echoes in Dominic's restaurants.

The newly built house had no tools to entertain its guests and moved because there was nothing to stand up for, but both Reurus and Eliza were lying on the table with their eyes like dead fish.

There was a figure approaching Reus and Eliza like that. Reurus looks at it and there is a girl standing there.

The age is the same as Reurus, and women and girls around the age of fifteen cannot be said to be. Straight linen hair was stretched to the back, and two small, swaying knots were seen. It is the peach ribbon previously given by Reurus that holds the beard.

A girl with a cute face rather than a beauty, who lived together with kindness and grace.

Girl - Corona smiles and places a ceramic cup in front of Reurus and Eliza.

"Please, Mr. Reurus, Elizabeth."

"Ah... thank you, Corona."

"Save me, Corona."

What was poured into the glass was water with fruit juice. Thanks for the heat sweating season, Reurus and Eliza thanked the cup.

Natalia, please.

"Oh, thank you, Corona. I'm sorry about Dominic, too. I'm disturbing you while you're preparing for sales...."

"Absolutely... but this time I'm going to meditate on you."

Natalia's eyes were on a man cooking in the kitchen.

Judging by appearance alone, it could reach 40 years of age. It was nearly 180 centimeters long and characterized by a musculoskeletal body.

It is obviously not a stubborn person to cut the same flax-colored hair as corona like a crop and shake a knife with a tight face.

Of course, Dominique, a man, was once an adventurer who reached the upper and lower levels.

He now retires as an adventurer and runs a restaurant, but he is a reliable fighter in the event of an accident and is widely known in the abandoned city of Laval.

Dominic went hungry to the abandoned city of Laval, saved the fallen Reus with Corona, identified the one for the Reus, and then recommended him as an adventurer. For Reurus, he saved his life and gave up the great sword he used during his adventure.

It was Reurus and Eliza, who spoke normally to Dominic and Corona, but Natalia had a disgusting look on her face.

The new house was completed and a new life began. It would be harder to say welcome with pleasure.

"Hah... let's just stop being so stubborn. So? Tell her to go out there and get a favor. There's been a lot going on, right? Tell me what's going on."

However, unlike Eliza, who was still sincere, Reurus sighed and switched consciousness.

Natalia's receptionist at the Adventurers' Union is somehow busy, and she shouldn't go out without much. That being said, instead of sending people, he carried his feet by himself.

Natalia turned to Corona before opening her mouth in response to such a Reurus query. Then Corona nodded back to her room upstairs. It's not confidential, but it's something Corona doesn't need to hear.

However, Dominic remained in the kitchen. This is because Dominic recommended Reurus as an adventurer, and he “speaks up” as a former senior and junior adventurer.

"Let me apologize first. I'm sorry."

Natalia enters from apology first. Natalia laughs bitterly as if she had read Reurus' thoughts, even though she was wary of what it was an apology for.

"I know the boy and daughter were looking forward to completing their new home, but as an Adventurers Association, we need to assign a job to a qualified adventurer... you don't have to be convinced, but I just want you to understand."

"Both Eliza and I are adventurers in this town. There's nothing to complain about."

Reurus smiled back and encouraged the conversation to continue, but Eliza was filling her cheeks with dissatisfaction. For this reason, Reus put his hand on Eliza's head and stroked hard.

"I know you're not convinced, but calm down...?

"Hmm... don't let Reurus face you down here."

Reurus also had feelings for the house, but Eliza was a bloodsucking species, and her family was driven out of their hometown and raised in the mountains where the monsters lived.

The family was also killed by a group called the Gregorians, and fled across the country with one body. And we built our own house in a newly acquired safe house.

Compared to Reurus, that sentiment will be strong. Still, even if you're not convinced of Natalia, you listen to Reurus and back off.

When Reus broke his face at Eliza, he turned the hand that he was stroking so hard into a gentle one. Eliza gladly narrowed her eyes and slightly lifted her cheeks.

"So, is that what you're asking me and Eliza to do?

Natalia said so, but she also asks for confirmation.

"Yes, it's a strange thing to do with this request...."

Natalia nods one and takes two metal pieces out of her pocket. It's a "registration certificate" that proves your identity as an adventurer. Also referred to as a recognition card, it is a business card size and is drilled with a string to lower it from the neck.

"Junior Medium Adventurer Reurus, I will upgrade you to Junior High Adventurer. And Eliza, the Adventurer Apprentice, recognizes you as a junior adventurer."

That's how Natalia presents her recognition card. Reurus looked at Eliza, but he couldn't help but get a recognition card.

"I'm happy to be promoted... all of a sudden?

"I'm a junior adventurer...."

Reurus was surprised and Eliza was pleased to receive the recognition card.

"The boy has been in town for four months... it's unusual to be promoted to junior level in this short period of time. But it's not a problem because we have a lot of credibility." If you don't choose the means, you'll be able to defeat some monsters, and I'll take this as an apprenticeship. "

Natalia smiles and explains why she got promoted.

"As far as I'm concerned, I don't think there's a problem with a boy's arm even if it's intermediate. Still, the boy's strength doesn't feel stable... so he's“ still ”superior. The more credibility your daughter has, the better she can get."

Reurus has the power called "Caloric Release", and in a short period of time he can strengthen his physical abilities beyond the Auxiliary Magic's "Enhancement". However, since the activation was still unstable, there was no sense of stability as Natalia said.

Still, Eliza's magic flowed through the contract with Eliza, and the effect was weak, but the Enhancement was always active. Compared to before, the sense of stability has increased.

Compared to such a revulsion, Eliza has no shards of stability. You can use lightning magic by inhaling the blood of Reurus to increase magic and performing a magical auxiliary action called "chanting", but your body gets torn apart by recoil.

Although bloodsucking species do not die because of their high self-healing power, they need a lot of time and magic to use thunder magic. Still recognized as capable of defeating monsters, apprentice adventurers graduate.

"So, about the client... you know how many places there are like this abandoned city of Laval? This is a request from another abandoned city."

"The abandoned city elsewhere, hey... I just have a bad feeling about it"

I went out of my way to make a request to another dump town. I wonder if this is a troubling story, Reurus stands up.

"Regardless of your daughter from another country, how well does the boy know the geography of this country?

But Natalia changed the subject to alert Reurus. Reurus jumped one eyebrow and shook his cheek cane.

"You know he never left the village until he came to this town, right? The village of Shena and the abandoned town of Laval have never been inside, but only Laval, the neighbor."

I've learned some geography around Laval Waste City, but I've never heard of any other Waste City near this town. Natalia smiled bitterly at Reurus's words and took a piece of paper out of her chest.

(Hey, where'd you get this paper?

If it wasn't a mistake, it looked like it came out of a very rich chest valley, but the moment Reurus thought about it, the pain ran in his right hand. Looking at what was going on, Eliza was somehow biting Reurus' wrist.

"Hihahahahahahahahahahahaha!? Phuhhhhhhhhh!?

"Speak Japanese... no, speak Comona."

Sweet bites are only a little strong and not enough to cause bleeding. More like a dog or a cat than a bloodsucker, Eliza lifted her eyes and pulled her mouth away from Reurus' wrist.

"You like big tits after all!? What's wrong!?

Oh.

"Shyaaaaaaaaaa!

Eliza grabbed her with a strange voice. While holding Eliza's head with her right hand, Reurus dropped his gaze on the paper Natalia took out.

"... a map?

It's pretty rough, though.

What Natalia took out was a map. It seems to be a map of the southern part of the vast Mataroy, where Laval and other places are located.

Natalia is right, the contents of the map are quite chaotic. The scale is chaotic, and I know what kind of town or village there is if I walk in which direction. Even if you walk along the streets of this map, it will be difficult to reach your destination.

"I can't give it to you, so just remember it here. First of all, this is the abandoned city of Laval....."

While saying that, Natalia slips her fingers on the map. The place where Natalia's fingers stopped was in the south-eastern direction from Laval Waste City.

This is a request from the abandoned city of Madalo.

"... what is your request?

Natalia smiles faintly when Reurus asks, soaking slight tension in her voice.

"Eliminating monsters around the abandoned city of Madalo."

"... yes?

But Natalia's response was unexpected as a revus.

"... why don't we take it down ourselves?

"I can't take him down. I have a request."

"... did you see such a strong monster? Advanced?"

Was there a powerful monster like Kimira, or more? Natalia shook her head to the side in response to Reurus asking.

"According to the request letter, it's intermediate... but it can't be defeated."

"Really? Maybe it's a lie, Sole...."

Unexpectedly, Reurus leaked a bewildered voice. Natalia turned the smile into a bitter smile because she understood the puzzle of Reurus.

"Honestly, the abandoned city of Laval is still blessed. The union president, Nicolas and Sharon, retired, but Dominic and I have people who can use magic. Especially since Sharon can use attribute magic."

Apparently, the abandoned city of Laval is blessed with “combat power.”

"There's a boy and a girl... who'll be in the top of the abandoned streets all over Mataroi."

"That's right...."

Reurus held Eliza still trying to grab her and leaned her neck unconvincing as she sat on her lap. Eliza dyed her face vermilion in a hurry, but eventually she grew older.

"We haven't done much damage yet, but if it stays this way, the Waste City of Madalo could become a monster's“ feeding ground. ”That's why you have to do it early."

"I see... I understand the situation. But why me and Eliza?

If there is an intermediate or moderate monster, it would be inappropriate to send a lower level Reurus and a lower level Eliza. Even if there were no practical problems, it is obvious what the waste city side of Madalo thinks.

"With the power of your daughter, you won't be attacked by monsters on your way, will you? And the boy is a spiritual guest... even if he's stopped by a soldier on the way, he can prove himself."

"Seems so... I don't really know if I can prove it."

That's how Reurus took out the "Proof of the Guest" from Spiritualism, which is the main religion in Mataroi.

The metallic piece engraved with the reliefs of the great spirits worshipped by spiritualism bears the name Reurus engraved on it and can be used as an official ID card - it seems.

Safety when traveling to Madalo Waste City and the ability to fulfill requests. Plus, it's a public ID. Those elements seem to have raised white feather arrows.

(If Eliza were here, the monsters wouldn't stop by, but I don't know if it would work for intermediate or higher monsters... and I don't know if I could get there just by remembering this map. Are you alright....)

Reurus also wondered if Eliza and I were really qualified. But neither Reurus nor Eliza had ever had a “decent journey.”

"Am I the only one going with Eliza?

"If it goes well, maybe a helper will come... think about it that way. I don't spend much time defending this town."

I don't know who the helper is, but it was a realuse that I wanted to expect from him.

"Besides, about the rewards for this request... there are a lot of dangers, and there are three large gold coins in combination. Except, of course, the reward for defeating a monster."

(I feel bad about the basic reward being the same amount as the house debt... no, is that an apology to you?

If we fulfill this request, we will be able to pay off the debt of the new residence. It is a realuse that feels great appeal even from that point alone.

(But hey, if I think I built my home, I'm not going to be single... no, I'm not single, I'm not going to be. I thought it was impossible in this world to use a loan as a shield and order someone else to move out!

In my previous life, I heard that if I built a house with a loan, I would be forced to pretend that I couldn't quit my job easily to pay for it.

(I can't believe I'm going through this since I was reborn....)

It was a slightly distant revulsion, but instead of writing off debts, the monsters who defeated them will get more rewards.

"What do you want with Eliza?

Still, I can't judge by myself. This request is addressed to both Reurus and Eliza.

"If Reurus says we're going, let's follow him. I've always been with Reurus!

Eliza, who sat on her lap, was also listening properly. Nevertheless, I wish I had forgotten to throw away all the decisions, but Reurus was slightly lost before accepting.

"I want to see other abandoned cities, and I owe you a house..."

"Yes... I'm glad."

As Reurus nodded, Natalia smiled small. And when he stood up from the chair, he walked out with three silver coins.

"That's right, I can't tell you to go today. Come to the union tomorrow morning. I'll bring a helper if I can."

"Alright... but there are so many silver coins in there, Sebastian?

Even though I drank water with fruit juice, I think I drank about one fine large copper coin. Natalia shook her hand in response to the curious Reurus.

"It's not much, but it's a new building celebration. Have Dominic make something delicious this evening."

Reus lifted the edge of his mouth in Natalia's words as he walked away.

If the contents of the request are true, I don't think it is such an urgent issue. Still, Natalia went out of her way to apologize to Reurus, who had built a new house but had no decent living and had to vacate it for a long time.

"Then I'll let you sweeten your words."

I'm going to look for a helper. Reurus, who thought so, decided to be honest with Natalia.

And the next morning.

Reurus, who spent his first night in his new home, took Eliza with him to the Adventurers' Guild - that was the end of the line.

(Seriously... are you traveling with this guy?

There stood Gilba, a Spirit called to be his helper.
