A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

--Corona's lunch was a “decent” sandwich.

"Delicious... yeah, delicious..."

A sandwich sandwiched between chopped vegetables and grilled meat, although the bread is a little stiff. Reurus leaked a moving voice while cheeking on it.

"Yep, Reurus... why are you crying?

"Because it's delicious. And I'm not crying, I'm sweating."

"I see...."

I had a bad feeling about the phrase "handmade lunch”, but what Corona made was very delicious. Though it may not reach Dominic, a sandwich that is well made and hassle-free still fills Reurus's stomach and heart.

Eliza said something worrying, but she pulled back because she knew about Reurus' appetite for food.

"In addition to the meat and vegetables that feed us, we are indebted to our makers. I think it's a good idea."

Gilba nodded satisfactorily, "Yeah, yeah." According to the spiritualist doctrine, Reurus's reaction was favourable.

Gilba turns her back while eating the same as Reurus. Reurus turned his back on Gilba, and only Eliza was sitting on the ground eating.

During meals, gaps are easy to form, so they are eating with their eyes turned in different directions. The station is surrounded by wooden fences and empty moats, but you should never be too careful.

"It's delicious, but is it so delicious that you cry?

Eliza also had a corona sandwich on her cheek, but Reurus's reaction was so strange that she leaned her neck. Reurus, who picked up the murmur, gave him deep advice, keeping his gaze fixed in the distance.

"Ready? It's amazing how delicious the food is. No, you can just eat it. The problem is that he cooks like poison. It creates people like me around... and Eliza studies cooking as much as she can. Huh?"

Uh-huh.

Some spiritualism holds a rank called spiritual teacher. There is also a woman named Esther as a spiritual teacher in the abandoned city of Laval, but Reurus was “consecrated” for the first time.

According to it, the cause of death in the previous life has benefited in this world. Among the benefits was' Resistance to Poison '. In other words, it was judged that the “meal” frequently eaten in the previous life was poisonous.

What is scary is whether it is the dish, or whether it is my former self who can't even afford to care about the taste. If you think it has become a body that can eat anything in this world, perhaps you can thank me.

(I'm dead because of that, and I can't thank you...)

Reurus, who had thought so much, was forced to stop thinking that his sandwich would taste bad. And I decided to talk to Gilba because it was a good opportunity.

"Mr. Gilba, may I ask you a few questions?

"If you can answer me,"

When I called Zilba, who was turning his back, he immediately replied.

Is Gilba-san able to use attribute magic?

"No, I can only use auxiliary magic. What's wrong with that?

"What about the magic class....."

Chatting during meals is a little noisy, but Gilba doesn't seem to care.

"Magic is also classified as junior or intermediate. How do you decide that?

It was Gilba who had "strengthened" Eliza earlier, but she said it was intermediate auxiliary magic at that time. I wondered if there was any classification.

"Auxiliary magic depends on what you can do, but in the case of attribute magic, it is classified by power. That's why it's hard to make a detailed judgment at a glance."

"Really...."

"Yes. Whether lower magic can kill one person, intermediate magic can kill a group, or advanced magic can kill an army… I can divide them from lower to middle and higher depending on the degree of injury and whether they can kill."

It was a revulsion that I asked about with interest in mind, but I pulled my cheeks with an answer that smelled more bloody than I thought.

"I don't know how many lower-level magic groups... are meant to be if they are so powerful as to inflict light injuries on one person, but if you can kill a group with a single blow, you can classify them as intermediate-level magic..."

"That's what happens. In that regard, auxiliary magic depends on what can be done, such as" strengthening "at the lower level and" strengthening "at the intermediate level if used by others."

Apparently, auxiliary magic and attribute magic are different. Eliza nodded interestingly with a sandwich on her cheek like a squirrel.

"By that standard, what happens to the magic I used on the Gregorians?

Eliza is talking about when the Gregorians attacked her. She inhaled Reurus' blood to increase her magic, and by using "chanting", she wondered what rank the lightning magic she had forced to use would hit.

"Ah... I've numbed the group at the same time, so it's intermediate or lower?

It was a revulsion that fits the criteria you have just been taught, but after using a large amount of magic, I felt that I could not match the intermediate lower magic by bleeding from my body and passing out.

"There are ways to categorize what class of monsters work, but some monsters may be resistant to certain attribute magic... Anyway, be careful when someone can use attribute magic."

"I will... By the way, does magic ever get classified as the highest class like an adventurer?

How powerful is the most advanced in the army? Gilba answered Reurus with a serious voice, asking him as a chat during the meal.

"The country will perish."

"... eh?

"The country will perish."

Gilba repeated without looking back at Reurus, looking back unexpectedly. I thought it was a joke for Jilba, but the voice was hard.

"Extraordinary magic is required at the point of advanced magic, but when it comes to advanced magic, it can only be said that it is in the outsider realm as early as possible. You will need incredible magic, the skill to exquisitely manipulate magic, and above all, the ability to use attribute magic."

Zilba's tone is that the most advanced magic exists.

"... have you seen it?

"No... if you were at" sight distance ”, you'd be caught in it and dead. However, I remember hearing that one of the most advanced monsters, the cologne, is used. They've been alive for thousands of years, and the magical amount is beyond imagination...."

(There are monsters like that... damn fantasy)

I don't know what a cologne is, but it was a revus that I prayed I would never meet again.

After lunch and breaks, Reurus and the others leave the station and continue down the street again. The Station was located all over the street and was scheduled to spend the night at the next Station.

Looking up at the sky, the sun is slowly beginning to fall over the middle heaven. Reurus thought it would be around 3: 00 to 4: 00 pm in time.

Since early summer is over, there is still time until sundown completely, and the heat is at its peak.

"I didn't doubt Eliza, but I never saw a monster walking this far... no, it's a wonderful force."

Jilba murmured as if she was impressed as she moved forward but did not fail to guard the rear. When he heard that, Reurus leaned his neck small, just like Gilba, watching his surroundings.

"How many monsters do you typically encounter?

"That's right... depending on the place and the time, you'll have encountered it at least once, at most five times. Sometimes people pass through the streets, so monsters who know it are ambushing them."

"That much....."

It would be hard to get attacked five times. If you get attacked that often, you also need to be more vigilant, and if you succeed, you can walk all day today to reach the "station" you just stopped by.

"Leaving town or village increases the likelihood of encountering monsters... no matter how many soldiers are patrolling the streets, and in some places they don't."

…… Isn't that what soldiers do? Is there a place you haven't patrolled yet?

Reurus asks as he gently taps Eliza's back and encourages her.

Speaking of soldiers known to Reurus, he was guarding certain places like the village of Shenna or guarding Laval from outside humans and monsters. In addition, they are patrolling the streets to exterminate monsters and bandits.

"Moving soldiers is not free. Weapons and protective equipment should be maintained and food and medicine should be prepared to carry. You'll need help getting the soldiers on a dangerous mission."

Reurus was convinced that that was the case. No matter how much it is a job, it will cost more money than moving soldiers.

"Therefore, depending on the policy of those who rule the territory, there is no street security. That's not exactly zero, but fewer times will increase the number of monsters, and bandits and others will decide that the area is safe."

"... if security is too bad, people won't escape the territory?" Ahh... can't you escape because of the insecurity? "

There are too many monsters and bandits to escape in danger. Rather, some become bandits rather than fleeing.

"Saying it's sad is easy, but sometimes you can't do it because of the low tax revenues even if you want to guard the streets. It's a rare thing in the world."

Oh, my God, Jilba shrugs her shoulders. I'm just impressed by the Reurus who heard those stories, but at the same time I think so.

(This man, the ruler of the territory... nobility? Are you too familiar with the situation? Because you're a spiritual?

I never thought about it until I spoke to Gilba, and it was a good story. But don't hesitate to wonder if it's information that a single religious expert knows.

(Well, I only know what I heard in the village of Shena and the abandoned city of Laval, and if people in the town are decent like Laval, do they usually know?

Perhaps there was something like a school in my previous life, and there was also the possibility of getting a solid education. In that case, Zilba would be ignorant rather than knowledgeable.

"Oh, that's..."

I study when I have time, but should I be able to read and write in earnest? That was the idea of Reurus, but he turned his eyes in response to Zilba's voice.

Zilba was looking at the end of the street, where there were men who had hardened themselves with metal armor. He is lowering his sword to his waist instead of a long weapon such as a spear.

"... a bandit?

In that case, I think it's well-equipped, but even with partial armor, it's important if you're dealing with a bandit who can prepare metal armor. Gilba shook her head to the side against Reurus who thought so.

"Just right... that's a little strange, but those are the regular army. You must be scolding the direction of travel. Mr. Reurus, don't put your hands on the weapon.

That said, Gilba waves her right hand at the soldier. Reus did not put his hands on the handle of the Great Sword as he was advised, but opened his hands and put them forward to show that there was no hostility.

Then there were about three soldiers rushing in, noticing the Reurus. I didn't feel any sign of magic, but I knew they were agile and each one was a trained soldier.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?

In contrast to the weapons-free Reurus, soldiers always try to pull out the sword from their hips.

The atmosphere was unfriendly, but the adventurous, armed Reurus was still Eliza's young girl, and Gilba was completely black, with no weapons or armor. Objectively speaking, it would be suspicious.

Ignoring the vigilance of those soldiers, Gilba bowed with her right hand against her chest.

"Thank you for your hard work. My name is Jilba the Spirit. We're leaving the abandoned city of Laval on our way to Madalo."

When she raised her face, Zilba always showed the soldier the necklace she was wearing. Reus, who had seen Zilba behave like that, bowed while showing the "Guest ID" and the adventurer's recognition card that Zilba had given him before.

"I'm Reurus, a junior adventurer from the abandoned city of Laval. This is Eliza, the junior adventurer. We're on our way to the abandoned city of Madalo."

I was a little worried about whether this would be good or whether I would not be caught without asking questions, and it was a realuse that proved my identity. Eliza lowered her head as if the soldiers were afraid or just a little scared.

I don't know what I can do with Gilba, but I don't know what kind of reaction I get because I have too few opportunities to deal with soldiers.

"Jilba the Spirit?...!? The beauty of that necklace... no way, it's real!?

(... I didn't really understand the reaction.)

The soldiers who were looking at Gilba with strange faces changed their expression to think of something.

You will be afraid if you express in one word the faces of the soldiers. Gilba leans her neck against the soldiers' reaction.

"Really? Did my fake come out?

"Ah, eh! It's the silk of words! It's an honor to meet you, Jilba....."

A soldier who spins words while scratching his forehead, clearly puts Gilba at the top. Gilba took the words of the soldiers and smiled kindly.

"I'm a spiritual person, so it's troublesome to be scared like that. Are you sure you want us to go this way?

"Eh? Ah, no, I don't have a problem with Jilba...."

The soldier's gaze was directed at Reurus and Eliza. The colour of suspicion was a strong line of sight different from that directed at Gilba.

"I can assure you of the identity of Reurus and Eliza. Especially since Mr. Reurus is a spiritual guest."

"Really... please come through."

Once Zilba has verified her identity, she'll be cleared for passage. Reus was stunned by Zilba's interaction with the soldiers, but Zilba greeted the soldiers with a smile.

"Thank you very much. May the Great Spirit protect you."

Gilba leaves a religious word and leads Reurus and Eliza. One of the soldiers runs down the road to where he came from, but he's probably headed to report back to the soldier.

"Ahh... well, what do you mean... it's amazing, isn't it?

Gilba laughs with a smile drawn by Reurus who can't find a word.

"If only there was the glory of the Great Spirit."

(No, maybe not...)

There was no courage to actually say it, and Reurus had a vague smile.
