A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The fourth day of departure from Laval Waste City. The Reurus arrived in Madalo at a time when the sun was tilting and the horizon began to shine red.

Madaro is a fortified city like Laval, but its defenses are stronger than Laval's.

A tall thick wall made of stone surrounded Madaro in double, and a water borehole was also provided in double. To enter, you need to cross the moat, cross the castle wall, cross the moat again, and cross the castle wall again.

Compared to Laval, the castle walls were built higher, and in addition, monuments were seen everywhere. Looking closely, there are many soldiers with bows.

It's still a long way from the border, isn't it? Are you prepared for the Veos volcano?

As a result of his vigilance, Reurus felt a chill. The mere fact that you need to be so vigilant doesn't stop your bad feelings.

"I'm heading to the church in Madalo, but what about Reurus and Eliza? I'd be delighted to welcome both of you..."

"No... I'm glad you're here, but I'm asking for help, so I'd like to go to Madalo Waste City right away."

To be honest, I wanted to go into Madalo, but I wanted to refrain from entering with Gilba with the Bear in my arms. Of course, as I said, I wanted to check the status of Madalo Waste City early.

"Really... now I'm going to have to excuse you. I will ask Madalo Waste City later."

Thank you for your help.

I'll see you again.

Just tell us where the abandoned city of Madalo is, and the Reurus break up with Gilba. Reurus put his hand on Eliza's head as he dropped off Gilba with a hundred kilometers of seemingly haunted bears.

"All right, let's go then."

"Hmm... I want to sleep slowly tonight."

It was a four-day journey, but I'm probably tired because I couldn't sleep. Eliza's response was unenergized and Reurus grinned as she carried Eliza's luggage on her shoulders.

"Eliza needs to get better."

"Nuu... you know what I mean? However, thanks to Mr. Gilba, I can feel a bit of" strengthening ", and I think it's good enough...."

"Everything is about health. Here we go."

Eliza smiled bitterly at her lips, and Reurus walked out.

The abandoned city of Madalo is to the south-east from the point of view of Madalo. In terms of direction, it is between the volcanoes of Veos and Madalo.

For what reason is a town built in such a place - that's obvious. It feeds on monsters around the volcano Veos.

As a realuse of the “role” of Laval Waste City, I wanted to return to Laval Waste City now if I wanted to do so.

However, it is also a fact that it is quick to fulfill this request to pay off the house loan. On the contrary, some of the monsters that were defeated were used to finance the purchase of furniture.

Since I was reborn into my current body, I thought I had become scarce to such lusts from the environment that I was placed in, but when I got my own house, I felt strongly that I wanted to enrich the furniture, etc.

(Well, there's nothing I can do to prevent you from fulfilling this request.)

I was asked to rescue because of an intermediate monster, but I can't even repay my loan without fulfilling my request.

I was supposed to ask about the details of the request in Madalo Waste City, but I couldn't help but wonder about the Veos volcano I heard from Zilba.

Still, it doesn't matter if you don't listen to me first. Reurus, who decided to do so, walked with Eliza in the evening and arrived in Madalo Waste City in a few minutes.

"Is that the abandoned city of Madalo....."

"Compared to the abandoned city of Laval..."

Eliza sounded worried about the far-sighted appearance of the abandoned city of Madalo. Land pattern, Madalo Waste City is better guarded than Laval Waste City.

The abandoned city of Laval is surrounded by wooden fences that reinforce the earthen walls everywhere.

In contrast, the abandoned city of Madalo was surrounded by earthen walls. It is about three meters tall and nearly two meters thick. Was it so well constructed that wooden barrels were also placed on the earthen walls.

In addition, a wooden fence with no boreholes has been erected many times outside the town. Not all the surroundings of the city are surrounded, but when combined with the earthen walls, it will provide considerable defense.

As they rounded their eyes on those defenses, Reurus and Eliza headed for the gates of the Waste City of Madalo. Then came the adventurers and the miserable men who were watching around the gate.

"Who are you... a“ fellow ”?"

They were each wearing leather armor and were alert with swords and spears in their hands, but Reurus and Eliza resolved their alert as soon as they showed the Adventurer's registration card.

He was a little worried about what kind of greeting he had, but he was an adventurer like himself. You don't have to be a bad person.

"I got a request. Reurus, the junior adventurer of the abandoned city of Laval."

I'm Eliza, the junior adventurer.

But when I introduce myself, my men's expressions change. Some were bewildered, and some dropped their shoulders as if they were disappointed.

"Ah? Hey, I did request a rescue, but I'm not even intermediate, am I? I don't care if they add more bodies."

It was said that the dissatisfaction seeped, but I can understand the dissatisfaction if I am in the opponent's position even as a revus.

A junior adventurer came to ask for help to defeat a middle-aged monster. Although the appearance of Reurus is fine, Eliza is an immature child and a woman. You don't look like you can fight at all.

However, I can't be much more licked than being here on behalf of Laval Waste City. Reurus dared to change his expression into something harsh while understanding his opponent's mood.

"Our union has chosen us because it has decided that we can accomplish our mission. If you have any complaints, I'll let you go.

If you say "Go home," it will be troublesome as a revus, but I will also take a strong attitude to protect the face of the abandoned city of Laval. The men on watch looked at each other in a confused manner.

"... don't you remember your arm?

"No, even so, it's a junior superior. It will help, but it will kill the one who came all the way to rescue me....."

"Isn't the abandoned city of Laval understaffed? Whatever Reurus is, the kid next door... you can't send any girl to the dead end."

I interact with each other, but I can hear everything. You may be disappointed, but it seems to be a bit of a challenge to expose Reurus and Eliza to danger.

The place is different, but it seems that the same adventurer makes me feel quite compassionate.

For this reason, Reurus deliberately pulls in the harsh face that was floating and smiles bitterly.

"I can hear everything. I know what you're trying to say, and I've only been an adventurer for four months, but I still beat Kimira. Mid-level monsters... well, maybe they can handle it."

Not exactly defeated by himself, but Reurus said so to reassure the opponent. Then the men open their eyes to surprise.

"Kimira!? Speaking of which, it was more than three months ago, but there was a gimmick...."

"Rumors have been spreading about the guy who defeated him... no way, 'Monster eater'?

"Killing a monster near Laval Waste City from one end, peeling it off and eating it raw?

The conversation flew in an unexpected direction, but Reus, listening to the men, secretly sighed.

(Does that nickname come from here... and it feels like a mess?)

There may have been a lot of rumours in the Waste City, but "Monster eater" is an alias given by the fact that Reus eats everything from monsters to monsters. There shouldn't be so much noise - it should be.

Reurus, convinced of himself, reached out to the big sword on his back.

"Why don't I prove that name? By the time I got here, Orzo had eaten the bear's arm, but I'm hungry."

I didn't destroy it myself, but I ate the meat that Zilba shared with me. In other words, I am not lying.

The men nodded face to face and turned to Reurus with a friendly smile.

"Welcome, 'Monster eater'. And your little lady too."

Uno, Reurus

I didn't lie to you.

Reurus stepped into the Waste City of Madalo, but Eliza answered in advance as she spoke with a jito's eyes. As Eliza shrugged her shoulders, she looked around with interest.

"The town is not that different from the abandoned city of Laval."

"Indeed... but the air is sinking. The monster effect?

Regardless of the external defenses, the Waste City of Madalo was no different from the Waste City of Laval. Through the gate, there is a boulevard in front of you, and houses are spread out on both sides of the wide road.

However, unlike the abandoned city of Laval, it did not feel vibrant. Maybe it's because the sun is already falling and it's getting dark, but the air itself feels heavy.

Because the sun has passed, there is little shadow on the boulevard, and occasionally armed adventurers pass by.

They, or they, look suspiciously at Reurus and Eliza, but look at the adventurer's registration card hanging from their neck and pass by.

"Yeah, this place looks like the abandoned city of Laval."

It wasn't very helpful on the streets, but it seems to work well in abandoned cities. Reurus was reassured, and Eliza walked next door with a lovely belly sound.

Reurus glanced at the sound, and Eliza was distracted and whistling.

"... ahh, I'm hungry. Let's get hungry before we go to the Adventurers Association in this town. I have to ask where the union is."

In the meantime, Eliza's expression glowed when she said that with a bar reading.

"Yes, that's right! Reurus will soon be hungry! You shouldn't have to take a piss first!

"Yeah, that's right. It's bad that I'm hungry."

Reurus and Eliza looking for a restaurant while saying that. If you're in Laval City, you can head straight to Dominic's restaurant, but you don't even know where to eat in Madalo City.

But as I walked down the street, I smelled something burning. Reurus walks through the smell and discovers a restaurant in less than three minutes.

"It would be nice if you could join me in the inn... for now."

When you open the wooden door, you hear the sound of meals and conversations about whether it's quite prosperous. There were five table seats and eight counter seats in the shop, which was quite large.

"... you look new. Which adventurer?

When I enter the store, I get a voice from an old man who thinks he is the owner. I am probably over sixty years old. All the hair was dyed white, and several wrinkles engraved on the face accentuated aging.

"I'm here on behalf of Laval Waste City. I just got here... before I go to the union..."

It was a realuse explaining the situation that it would not be concealed, but it interrupted the words by seeing what the shop customer was eating.

(Hey... no way...)

Unexpectedly, Reurus opened his eyes and looked at "the dish.”

"What's the matter, young man? You look like you've been stabbed in the flank all of a sudden.

"I've actually been stabbed, but I didn't look like this... no. That's it, that's the dish."

That said, the dish that Reurus showed with his trembling fingers was served on a wooden plate.

― ― If Reurus wasn't mistaken, it was fried rice.

"Hmm? Ah... that's the ingredient of the eastern country. Occasionally, it flows over here, too. Everything seems to be called" Kome ", but it tastes unusual."

"Give me this. I'll take care of the rest. Anything."

Without even bothering, Reurus orders. Eliza was puzzled by Reurus's reaction, but did not catch her mouth.

"... it's just a little expensive, but do you mind?

"I'll give you up to one gold."

"I won't let you... wait for me in your seat. I'll make it and take it with me."

The shopkeeper guided me to a table seat. Because there were no other seats available for Eliza and me, but the seat I was guided to was the biggest in the store. Circular tables are wide enough for two people to use - we can't afford to worry about that in the current revulsion.

Raise your big sword against the nearby wall and lower your hips to the chair as you bend your arms and meditate. Eliza looked at such a revulsion strangely.

(Come... it's rice after all. I mean, where's the eastern country? Speaking of east of Mataroi, is it Berlid? But then it's called Berlid... perhaps there is a country like Japan? Or an Asian country?

At this time, my client was also blown away from my head. The sudden encounter of rice makes it impossible to think of anything else.

(Even if you don't think about it carefully, it's strange to have rice because you have bread... it's been 15 years since you were reborn. Maybe you were working on it in Laval Waste City?

Reurus spinning his thoughts while bracing himself. Eliza leans her neck as she stares at such a revulsion.

"... you've kept me waiting."

After waiting long enough to do so, the owner brought the food. The offering consists of salt grilled meat like fried rice and “something”, and water in a vegetable soup.

"I'll take it!

Reurus opens his eyes, hands facing the wooden spoon to the fried rice. And when you fry rice, it swells your chest into your mouth with anticipation.

"... what is this?"

I didn't think it belonged to me, and I heard a cold voice on my own. Reurus brings another piece of fried rice to his mouth and tastes it well.

"... what is this?"

But the words that came out didn't change.

Did rice taste like this? There is also the unique flavor of fried rice, but I don't know if the rice itself tastes good...)

It was salty fried rice fried with oil and salt along with cooked rice chopped vegetables and meat, but Reurus remembered the unspeakable discomfort.

The rice itself may taste bad, but the taste is "I'm not used to the tongue”.

(... oh, yeah.)

Stop eating, Reurus drops his eyes on salted fried rice.

(That's right... I'm reborn... and my taste has changed...)

When I was Japanese in my previous life, rice was the staple food. It's a staple food I've been used to since childhood, and I was able to eat delicious rice with improved varieties.

- But not now.

The rice that I ate for the first time since I was born as a realuse in this world didn't suit my mouth.

It's not bad. I wonder if this is delicious. However, there was a big difference between the taste in my memory and the taste that my tongue actually felt, and I didn't think it was truly delicious.

(... I can't believe I feel reborn here.)

Eat fried rice in the first place and sigh deeply. Though I ordered with joy and courage, I felt like I had a thorough shoulder waterfall.

"Reurus? What's wrong? You look sad...."

"... no, it's nothing."

Eliza looks worried because she feels the change in Reurus. Reurus answered with a bitter laugh and reached out to the vegetable soup. Then I took a bite to try it, but it feels delicious if it fits my tongue.

"Hey, if you listen to me, you're really a kid...."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, Reurus didn't want to distract you from the impact of fried rice and sipped the vegetable soup silently.

"Hey, you there. It's you, you."

(Ah... eat my salt soup. That's my soul food....)

"Hey... are you listening? Oops!"

The soup of vegetables is not bad, but the salt soup made by Dominic is still a realuse that I think is the best. Because I ate it when I was dying, or because it tasted carved into my soul.

Next, let's eat meat. With that in mind, it was a realuse that tried to reach for salted yakiniku, but the plate on which the meat was riding was bounced straight to the side.

"Hey, Temee! Are you listening!?

Looking up, a stranger was making noise. Apparently, he boiled his business into a unresponsive realus and dropped the food that was on the table.

Reurus looks at the floor silently. The plate was made of wood and was not broken, but when it fell, there was zero meat from the plate rolling down the floor.

Though they may have been cleaned, there is dirt and dust on the surface of the meat, whether the adventurers or the inhabitants of the abandoned city were walking.

The face of Reurus, who saw it, naturally turned into a true face. And Eliza blued as she watched the change in Reurus' expression.

As he stood up, Reurus poked his knee next to the meat that had rolled on the floor. And he stretched out his hand, and picked up the flesh, and scattered the dirt and dust with his hand.

"Been killed, Reurus? Calm down. Become?"

Eliza called out, but Reurus caught on to the meat. Roasts meat silently into your stomach.

"What is he... picking up the monkey that fell on the floor and eating it..."

In the appearance of such a revulsion, the surrounding guests were murmuring with their eyebrows hidden. However, Reurus flattens the meat regardless of the surrounding voices and stands still.

"Hey guys, run now! Hurry!"

Eliza jumped into Reurus's body, wondering what she thought. And tell the man who called out to flee the scene immediately, but if he had the temper to follow Eliza's words, he wouldn't be involved in Reurus.

"Oh? What are you talking about, kid? It's worse than that."

A man put his hand on the shoulder of Reurus - Reurus smiled.
