A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 75: Break for a Break

It was a Reurus who decided to help Zilba, but Zilba told me to heal my body first.

Zilba's healing magic has healed some of her body's wounds and burns, and she'll be able to move around if she lets herself heal herself overnight.

For this reason, Reurus flattens the meat from one end to the room he rents to fill his stomach and magic.

The meat of the sunflower exceeding three meters was very abundant. However, it was a strong rubber-like flavor that was difficult to comment on whether it was a miscellaneous meal. If the flavour was good, it would have been the material to buy, but I should have guessed when it didn't.

It was a revulsion packed into my belly without saying it was none of my business, but Welner, who had eaten Hikuidori meat to try it, was pulling my cheeks. Dario was also eating, but she looked sad.

"... are you sure you're okay?

Eliza walks behind a filled Reurus, worrying that she won't know how many times it will happen. The clothes that became worn out due to the influence of "chanting" were changed, and the bleeding was wiped off, so it became beautiful.

"Jilba-san put a healing magic on me, and I'd rather walk... but I'm so tired. I'm going to bed early today."

"Mmm...."

Originally, we should be concerned about the monster's arrival, but now we have Gilba. If an intermediate monster attacked me, I didn't think Jilba would lose, and I was just going to go to sleep with Jilba this evening.

Fortunately, the leather armor, which was disturbing my comfortable sleep, blew up in a battle against the Hikuidori. It is a revulsion that removes the nails and toenails, sleeps well, and heals wounds and fatigue.

I just need to do something before I go to bed.

"Eliza."

"What is it?

After entering the room and putting his sword against the wall, Reurus lowered his hips on the bedside. When she saw it, Eliza sat next to Reurus and leaned her head cutely.

"You did well today... you saved me. Thank you."

That's how Reus puts his hand on Eliza's head and gently strokes it.

Eliza "chants" in preparation for her suicide bombing, and she doesn't know if she can defeat the first sunflower if she doesn't shoot in thunder magic. The second Hikuidori had the result of "summoning” Gilba.

Had it not been for Eliza's magic, she would have been dead by now. Reurus thanked her with gratitude, and Eliza wandered her gaze so intensely that she could call her suspicious behavior.

"Nah, what, what!? Oh, I'm so honest with you!

It was Eliza who waved her hands, but her expression was very loose. She seems to be wondering what kind of expression to make and is in a hurry.

However, as Reurus continued to stroke his head, he eventually grew older and looked up at Reurus with a pendulum.

"Did I... help you?

Oh, Reurus raises one eyebrow.

--Useful.

I was surprised that such words came out, but looking back, I felt like I was pulling my leg due to lack of physical strength during the journey.

It was Eliza's strength that the junior monsters didn't stop by, but she didn't fall asleep because of her lack of health and took two shifts in Reurus and Gilba. In other “normal battles”, Eliza didn't come out, and it was her job to keep her in the back.

Normally, Eliza behaved brightly, but she was very concerned about not being helpful. For that reason, it was decided that such words might have appeared aggressively, and Reurus affirmed with a smile.

"Wow, if Eliza hadn't used her magic, she'd be dead. Today's prey is a joint battle. If you get the reward, we'll split it up."

Eliza "chanted" and used her magic once, but once was important. I think I want as much money as possible because I have a mortgage as a reuse, but I don't think I need to cheat this time.

Normally, if you kill monsters, you can't give Eliza half of the reward, because most of the time the Reurus sticks together on its own. When she tries to give money to Eliza, who hasn't fought, she looks sad.

But it was an important part of this fight. Whether Eliza denies it or not, Reurus will not deny it.

(The word "useful”... well, it only catches a little bit.)

I'm not staying with you because it's useful. However, since it feels faint to use words, Reurus makes Eliza's hand to stroke her head more gentle.

Eliza closed her eyes and smiled embarrassed.

The amount of magic that Eliza felt was much less than before she fought Hikuidori. Although I have become a little accustomed to magic, it is only natural that magic that reaches intermediate levels by using "chanting" will reduce magic dramatically.

(We need to increase the magic we lose....)

Unlike Reurus, who gains magic from eating, Eliza draws blood like a bloodsucking species to gain magic. However, it does not seem that anyone is good if they are human, and they do not try to suck the blood of monsters.

The best part is Reurus, who signed the contract. I wish I could deliberately accommodate each other's magic, but neither Reurus nor Eliza can be so clever.

Even Eliza is wasting her magic. Reurus thought it was time to refill the magic.

Reurus becomes lighter by removing his nails, toenails, and daggers. Then Eliza suddenly saw Reus, who suddenly began to take off her gear, with a moody face.

"... what's wrong?

He said he was stroking his head until then, but he didn't like the sudden interruption. Reurus laughed bitterly, looking down at his body and asking.

"No, you used a lot of magic today, and you should suck some blood, right? Where do you draw blood from?

"... what?

Eliza rounded her eyes because she couldn't understand Reurus's words. However, after a few seconds, the neck starts dyeing rapidly from the face to the neck, and after a few seconds, the whole face becomes bright red.

"Ha... hey... what are you talking about all of a sudden!?

"No, that's why it's blood. Blood will restore your magic, won't it? Where is it easy to smoke? Can I cut you with a dagger?

Wizards regain their magic over time, but their healing is low. The healing amount seems to vary from person to person, but in Eliza's case, sucking blood increases her magic all at once. Then there would be no other way to use it - but for some reason, Eliza always refuses to breathe Reurus' blood.

Eliza's face turned bright red enough to think that a lot of blood would erupt if she poked it with a needle. While tilting his head to Eliza, Reurus fished his backpack and took out the Magic Stone from Natalia before he left Laval Waste City.

Then, in response to the magic of Reurus, the colorless and transparent "Magic Stone" began to change color. The color change stops when it changes from clear to purple and from purple to dark indigo.

"I'm losing my magic too... if I just ate that bird."

Still, it's not less than I thought. Perhaps in addition to the one bear that had eaten before Hikuidori, the magic of the arm of the bear that Zilba gave him increased.

I didn't fight Hikuidori for that long using 'Caloric Unleash', but it seems to have consumed magic commensurately.

After confirming that fact, Reus nodded once, and now let Eliza grasp the Magic Stone. The Magic Stone changed from a dark indigo color to a faint purple color because the Reus touched it.

"Er... it seems to be purple for just one ordinary wizard, so if it's light purple, it's pretty rare.

Although Eliza never fell out of magic, Eliza's magic was quite low. Confirming that, Reurus smiles and sticks out his arm.

"Come on, smoke."

"Ah, no!

"Why? I bled a lot, too, but because I eat meat and blood increases, even if I smoke a little, it doesn't turn out to be anemia."

By the time I left the village of Shena and arrived in the abandoned city of Laval, I had minimal muscle but no fat.

But now, to some extent, the flesh - the muscles have grown and the body has grown. I bled in battle with Hikuidori, but there's nothing wrong with letting Eliza suck a little blood.

If there is a problem, it is only Eliza who is strangely reluctant to smoke blood.

"Come on, don't be shy. I'll rely on your magic again, and you can smoke as much as you want with my blood.

In the event of a disaster, magic could not be used without magic, and there was a risk of death. Then you should restore your magic when you can afford it.

"Ah, you don't like sucking from your arms? Then...."

I wonder if it would be better if it came from the neck as if it were a vampire species. With that in mind, Reurus takes off his linen shirt and slaps his neck.

In the last four months or so the diet has improved rapidly, the body of Reurus has become quite successful.

Because I went out to kill monsters every day and waved my big sword, not only my abs and spine, but also my arms began to have strong muscles. I can't say that I'm as musculoskeletal as Dominic, but I grew up in the flesh as a fighter.

If it was before I died in my previous life, my body was in a terrible state due to lack of exercise and nutrition, but now it is a healthy body itself.

"If you don't like your arms, you can suck them off your neck. The bird hasn't healed my wounds."

The scratches caused by the nails of the sunflower are, to be exact, near the middle of the shoulder and neck. Although the wound itself is blocked by Zilba's healing magic, it is only healed to the extent that it is likely to bleed with a little scratch.

Because blood does not become a blood-sucking species, Reurus tells you to suck blood purely for the purpose of replenishing magic. But Eliza rebelled.

"I don't want to! Oh, my God, that's not it! Er... yes, it's not a case!

"Hey, don't be an idiot. Don't say anything about the case. Those words are a mess....."

Eliza, whose face was bright red, covered her eyes with both hands, but still screamed as she glanced from the gap between her fingers. And when he heard the scream, Reurus slipped back unexpectedly.

Though I don't think it will be a problem in this world, I am terribly afraid of "my former self”. They complain about the pain of their souls.

Forcing a young girl to suck her own blood naked in the upper body - that's certainly a case. Moreover, it is quite a strange case.

However, he endured the agitation, and Reurus twisted his neck without saying that he was not satisfied.

"I need to refill my magic, and I don't care if I'm sucked out of blood... and there's one thing Eliza feels, what's so bad about it?

If you hate it so much, you won't be able to force it. However, since the presence or absence of magic separates life and death, it was a revus that I wanted to ask why I was convinced.

--I 'm not afraid of the word "incident."

"Um... well..."

Eliza's face turned bright red and her eyes wandered in trouble.

In fact, it may have had some disadvantages just because I didn't realize it. Reurus waited for Eliza to respond with that in mind.

"Uhh......"

But Eliza won't answer anything. All you have to do is stare at Reurus with tearful eyes while roaring.

"....."

"What about it?"

"Shame on you... because..."

With both hands on her cheeks, Eliza murmured as she strayed from her face. Hearing the murmur, Reurus closed his eyes silently with his hand on his forehead.

(Embarrassed... embarrassed... embarrassed?)

Something came up that bothered me. Although there is a way to gain magic, it is a revus that I didn't think would be rejected for embarrassment.

However, Eliza's condition is unusual. It appears to be an important issue for Eliza.

(Feminine minds don't understand how old a man is....)

I don't know whether it is a problem as a bloodsucking species or whether it is a personal problem of Eliza. Still, Eliza's face turned bright red and she was roaring with tears in front of her, and she couldn't say anything more about Reurus.

Reurus falls asleep on the bed after wearing the shirt he was wearing.

"Okay, let's go to bed."

"............ eh"

In contrast to Reurus, who changed her mood lightly, Eliza opened her eyes like a wolf. Reurus laughed at Eliza and smacked her next door.

"I'm sorry for being so rude. Starting tomorrow, Jilba will be there, and Eliza won't have to. Look, Eliza's tired too, right? Let's get some sleep today."

"Uh-huh...."

Eliza lay next to Reurus with an anxious face. Reus closed his eyes as he gently stroked Eliza's head again.

"I'm exhausted today, and I'm sure you'll sleep well. Maybe the bell won't wake you up even if it rings, so wake me up if you're going to sleep tomorrow."

That's all, Reurus falls asleep lightly as declared. Gilba's presence gives her peace of mind.

The next morning, when Reurus woke up, Eliza's magic was restored.
