A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Jilba the Spirit - he is a man around forty years old.

Straightened spine on short cut, white hair. The height of Dominique was not much different from that of Dominique, but it was forged thin, and the “thickness” of the body was found solid.

With a reassuring smile, a soft waist would be worthy of a priest. She is wearing black clothes above and below, and hangs a necklace with a feminine relief engraved on it. A necklace that symbolizes the great spirits that Jilba worships.

Good morning, Reurus, Eliza.

Reurus returned to me when Gilba greeted him with a smile. It seems that there was too much unexpected appearance of a helper, and his consciousness was lightly flying.

"Good morning...."

"Good morning, sir."

Looking back at Zilba's feet, he found a leather backpack. The rugged backpack, which seemed to age, was very bulky and informed that the journey was ready.

Reurus unexpectedly looked for Natalia. I had heard that maybe a helper might come, but there would be a lot of problems if the opponent became Jilba.

"Good morning, both of you. Nice weather for a trip, isn't it?

Reurus was looking for Natalia, and he approached her. When Reurus noticed it, he closed his distance from Natalia and turned his face to his ear and asked quietly.

"Hey, Jilba the Spirit, can I stick my neck in the adventurer's request? Are you okay with the town's policies?

"Normally it is, but...."

Reurus was worried about whether he could use the help of Spiritualism, an “external” force.

Though not a complete independence, the abandoned city of Laval tends to shy away from outside intervention as much as possible. From that point of view, it would be inconvenient for Zimbabwe to accompany you.

It would be helpful if Gilba would accompany us, thinking that our faces are wide, but it is a revulsion that we would like to avoid making a debt to Spiritualism because of the request we received.

"Not this time. Gilba's destination is Madalo, not Madalo Waste City. Gilba says she's going to Madalo on a" separate request "... so we're going together just in time."

"... really?

Reurus stared suspiciously at Natalia as if something was hiding behind it. Natalia laughed bitterly, accepting the Reurus question as natural.

"Coincidence overlapped this time. So I don't owe you anything between town and spiritualism."

If that's what Natalia says, I have no choice but to be convinced. As Reurus and Natalia interact, Gilba enters the conversation with a gentle smile.

"I received a report from the church in Madalo that monsters around Madalo are active. I was hoping to get there, but I heard from Natalia that there was a way to get around safely on the road."

"... Mr...? You said you couldn't verify if it would lead to an intermediate or higher monster.

Apparently, Eliza's “Monster Avoidance” was used as bait to catch Jilba. But I don't know if it works on all the monsters. It would be nothing but a fraud if the monster attacked me.

"Of course, that's part of it. Still, it's pretty safe not to run into a junior monster.

Natalia seems to have explained the area properly. If Zimbabwe accepts that, then it will be the responsibility of Zimbabwe.

"I was going to go alone, but I heard that Reurus and Eliza had something to do with the abandoned city of Madalo. It's up to you to come with me."

"Jilba is used to traveling, so please teach me a lot. Kids reduce the threat of monsters, and Gilba teaches them how to travel in return. What do you say? You don't complain about that, do you?

It seems to be a story of holding hands and cooperating with each other without borrowing. If you are accustomed to traveling, there will be no more comfortable opponents.

"Neither I nor Eliza have ever had a decent journey... and I'd rather not complain than help."

Both Reurus and Eliza have been chased away by monsters and humans. But it was far from a journey, and I had nothing to complain about if the experienced person would accompany me.

"I am proud to be used to travelling because I am often called by a nearby church. It would be helpful if the inferior monsters didn't stop by, and if there was anything I could tell you."

That's it, Gilba deepens her smile.

Besides, Mr. Reurus is a spiritual “guest”. I'd be happy to be with you if I didn't have to. "

"... thank you. It helps."

I'm glad they treat me very favorably, but I can't help but be afraid of Reurus when the opponent becomes Jilba. Gilba nodded haughtily as she bowed her head and thanked.

Speaking of which, Reus recalls that he was absent the first time he went to a spiritual church. Apparently Gilba was flying around at the request of a church in a neighboring town or village.

As a result, I'm sure I'm used to traveling, but what kind of business were you flying around for? Reurus laughed ambiguously when he decided it was better not to ask.

Reurus, who found out he was traveling with Zilba, invited Zilba to settle down in the tip of the Adventurers' Association and plan his trip. Even if it's a travel plan, it's a minimal advance check to get you started right away.

"I think it will take about five days to get to Madalo Waste City this time. If you don't get attacked by monsters once along the way and have a minimum of vigilance, we'll arrive in about three to four days... but I think we should leave it here for five days."

I don't know what's on the road. Reurus nodded when he heard Zilba's explanation.

"I have five days because I can use 'strengthening' and Mr. Reurus seems to be able to do similar things. If you can't use Reinforcement, think of it as nearly ten days."

"Eliza won't be able to follow me, but I'll take it from there, so I think I can handle it."

The minimum is about three days, but given Eliza's slowness, the first five days would be reasonable. If Reurus had enough luggage for Eliza, and she had enough of Eliza herself, she would be able to cover her leg slowly.

"I use streets, so the scaffolding won't be bad. If you're tired, I'll carry Eliza, so don't hesitate to tell me."

Gilba said so, and Eliza hid behind Reurus with a pulled face. There are some people who are reluctant, but they are afraid of Jilba.

"Hey, Eliza, don't be rude to Gilba. I'll take care of you on your upcoming trip, so do it right."

Reus grabbed Eliza's neck and lifted it, sitting next to him. Zilba laughs with joy when she sees it.

"Hahaha. Don't worry about it. For some reason, the children of the church react in a similar way, so I'm used to it."

(Kids are honest....)

Simply because I'm afraid of Gilba. Gilba is mostly smiling, but she feels terrible as a realuse.

"Nh, muh... I'm sorry."

"Yes, honestly, that's fine. Eliza is a good girl."

Gilba smiles when Eliza apologizes for being prompted by Reurus.

"So, Gilba, I know how many days it takes to get there, but what about food?

"Minimum required. If it's true, it would be better to collect it on the spot... because some monsters are sensitive to smells, and if they succeed, they'll come from a few kilometers away."

Quilts - Even if it's a few kilometers away, the monsters will sniff at it. Still, because Eliza is here this time, it would be okay if she had some food.

"For now, if you're a junior monster, you won't be able to come by Eliza's side, so can I take it with me for a little while?

"That's right... you can increase it as much as you want, but traveling should be as light as you can. Natalia will be able to adjust the area."

That said, Zilba turned to the receptionist, where she saw Natalia packing her luggage in a backpack for Reurus and Eliza. With Natalia packing her luggage in a familiar way, Reurus feels like she saw something unexpected.

"Food, water, camping tools. It doesn't matter if you have a change of clothes, a rainproof cloth, and a street bank. We don't need cold protection at this time of year, and it's an easy time to travel."

"I see...."

"Because it's hot, we need to drink a lot of water, but we also know the water field on the way to Madalo Waste City. We won't run out of water."

Looks like you're really used to traveling. It was also very comfortable as a revulsion.

"If you need to be careful, wrap a sheath around your weapon... or a cloth in the case of Mr. Reurus."

"Why is that?

Even though it is called a sheath, there is no such thing in the great sword that Dominic gave away. It would be good to just wrap the cloth around, but it would take a lot of trouble if the monster attacked me.

"Because soldiers patrolling all over the country blame them. I will accompany you this time so“ it doesn't matter ”, but the soldiers are tasked not only with the monster but also with the bandit crusade. As long as you don't have any extra trouble."

"... okay."

Rather than being complained about by soldiers, Reurus nodded honestly because he didn't know what Zilba was going to do.

"So, there's a bandit on the street?

It seems reckless to attack in a place like a veterinary road used by adventurers, rather than in a street patrolled by soldiers. Gilba smiled bitterly and frowned at Reurus, who confronted her with such doubts.

"The streets are relatively safe, so the merchants are better off... and of course they have escorts, but sometimes they're connected to bandits if they succeed."

"That's it again...."

Reurus swallowed the impression that it was a slaughter. I suppose you're squeezing your wisdom to survive a bandit. We cannot be alarmed, and the threat does not necessarily fall on us.

"Is this the place to pay attention in advance? Then I'll explain it during the trip....."

"Yes, thank you."

Looking at it, Natalia was already ready. We don't know what's happening in Madalo Waste City, our destination, so we need to get out of here as soon as we're ready.

"Thank you for preparing. Quickly, but I'll be there."

Reurus took a seat and walked towards Natalia. Natalia then offers a separate fabric bag for the backpack.

"... what is this?

"I have the Magic Stone and the consignment note for my request." The Magic Stone is a gift for the boy, and the consignment note should be given to the Adventurers Association of the Waste City of Madalo when you arrive. "

I was told to open the cloth bag and there was a letter with colorless ore and sealed wax like glass inside.

Speaking of 'magic stones', is it a stone that can tell the amount of magic?

"Broadly speaking. Boys and girls don't know exactly how much magic they have, and it's better to know to some extent, right?

When Reus takes out the Magic Stone, the color gradually changes. The colour changed from colorless to purple and indigo, and the colour change stopped when I thought it was dyed in light blue. It seems that some magic has accumulated in the past three months.

I used to measure the magic several times with the Magic Measuring Device, but at that time, all the magic had expired after using the "Caloric Release". Even though I only touched the Magic Measuring Stone, I appreciated the fact that I knew the magic amount as a Reus.

After confirming the change in color, Reus gave Eliza the Magic Stone and it turned dark indigo.

"In" Magic Measuring Equipment, "I wonder if the boy is 50 and the girl is 30. Save as much magic as you can."

"I don't know how many numbers you give me... are there many?

I don't know much about magic. As Reurus leaned his neck, Natalia sighed loudly.

"The boy is beyond Sharon. It's only natural to turn that magic amount into" Enhancement, "which makes it stronger."

"... really?

Someday it was beyond Sharon, a senpai adventurer, to say the least. However, I didn't know if it was still a lot because using "caloric release" quickly consumes magic.

"From now on, check frequently to find out what you eat and how much more magic you get."

"Yes. Then it's time to go... hmm?

Suddenly, the adventurers' union calms down. Reurus noticed that, looking back, the door of the Adventurers Association opened and someone was peeking inside.

"... Corona?

The person who opened the door a little and peered into his face - Reus noticed the corona - turned his eyes round. Rushing over thinking what was going on, Corona was embarrassed.

"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you... but I wanted to give something to Mr. Reurus and Elizabeth, but it attracted more attention than I thought..."

"You gave it to me?

Regardless of what happened, Corona offered a cloth wrap as Reurus looked strange.

"It's a lunch box. Please eat this lunch today."

――――

Zukin and I had a slight headache. Reurus tried to ignore the pain and smiled.

"Did you make it? Or did Corona make it for you?

"... it's me. I don't think it tastes good compared to your father's dishes, but you worked hard to make them.

That's what Corona said, smiling shyly. Reurus looked at the corona offering a lunchbox with both hands and lay his hands on both hands.

"Thank you very much. Thank you for letting me eat... I'm afraid I won't be able to see Corona's face for a while. I'll tell you what I think about the flavour when I get back.

"Yes... please be careful, Mr. Reurus and Elizabeth. Don't push yourself, please definitely come back. You're waiting to tell me how you feel about your lunch.

Corona says with all her heart's worries. Reurus, who was delighted with his thoughtfulness, put his strength into the hands of Corona.

"Oh, don't worry! It's my first trip, but I have a nice helper! Corona, wait for a souvenir.

"... hah. You'll expect it, won't you?

You believed Reurus' words, and finally you laughed like a prank.

With such a corona smile on his face, Reurus and the others left the abandoned city of Laval.
