A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 76: Additional Requests
The day after we fought Hikuidori. Reurus was taken to Dario, where he visited the restaurant, and headed for the Adventurers' Union in the abandoned city of Madalo.
"... hey, what happened to that girl?
"Come on, it was like this when I woke up in bed."
On the way down the street in the abandoned city of Madalo, Dario asks with a look like half interested and half suspicious. Reurus answered the question with his true face, but behind it was Eliza, whose face turned bright red.
"Hmm, what is it!?
"I want to know what this is."
It was a sleepy revulsion as declared, but when she woke up, Eliza was sleeping so that her eyes could catch on.
Mataroi has a climate that is easier to spend in summer than Japan's predecessors, but it is hot and invincible because it is full of sunflowers. When I peeled it off, Eliza woke up, but when I saw the Reus, I dyed my face to dust.
The amount of magic Eliza felt was equal to or greater than before she cast magic on the Hikuidori opponent. It looks like Reurus took blood after he fell asleep, but he seemed strangely shy.
It was a Reurus that bled quite a bit in the fight against Hikuidori, but not enough to cause anemia. I don't know how much blood Eliza took, but I don't think it's much more than anaemia.
(Hmm... should I say it's because I'm a bloodsucker or because I'm a girl...)
I don't think there's enough magic in battle to use magic, but seeing Eliza who seems to be embarrassed can cause trouble as a Reurus.
Our revus is in good health with a good night's sleep. The injuries sustained in the battle against Hikuidori have also been almost healed, and the battle has not been hindered.
Gilba used healing magic, too, but she worked hard while she was asleep on her "contract" with Eliza.
After that, Eliza would just return to calm, but Reurus decided that this would heal in time.
"But hey, weren't you pretty hurt yesterday? Even if that Jilba husband used healing magic, his wounds would heal too soon...."
"The wound has healed quickly for a long time. Or else, if you're a junior adventurer, you won't be asked to rescue me."
The fact that Eliza is a blood-sucking species means lie down, Reurus. Dario nods convincingly and laughs bitterly at the look of Reurus.
Reurus, whose leather armor was blown away by the battle against the Hikuidori, wore his armor and ankle, which kept his prototype, and held a dagger behind his waist, carrying a great sword.
The safest defense was the shoes, at which point the Hikuidori's attack power was felt to be high. To be honest, my nails were on the verge of burning out, but I just thought it was better than nothing.
"We need to talk about the equipment... here's the union."
That said, the Adventurers Association, which was led by Dario, was no different in appearance from what was found in the abandoned city of Laval. There may be a slight difference in size, but only to the extent that I don't know which one is bigger from the outside.
With that in mind, Reurus stepped into the Adventurers' Union, where there were men he had never seen, not just Welner and Gilba.
The first of these is a middle-aged man who thinks he's older than Zimbabwe. Gilba and the others sat around a desk inside the union, but the man sat in the upper seat among them.
Other men are sitting close to their seats. However, they are each wrapped around a bandage.
"Guild president, I've got you."
That's how Dario called out to the man sitting in the chair. Apparently he is the head of the Adventurers Association of the Waste City of Madalo and is looking sharply at Reurus.
However, the gaze quickly eased and turned to a friendly smile.
"I've heard from Welner and Dario. I heard you called in a rescue from Laval Waste City. I'm Roberto, head of the Adventurers Association of the Waste City of Madalo."
"I'm Reurus, a junior adventurer from the abandoned city of Laval. This is Eliza."
"It's Eliza, the junior adventurer...."
Union President - Reurus and Eliza respond to Roberto's greetings. Having heard the introduction, Roberto laughed joyfully.
"Hahaha, when I heard that that bird monster was defeated by a junior adventurer, I thought Dario was freaked out and confused... but I've heard rumors of 'Monster eater'."
I wonder if Roberto laughs in his 50s, judging by his appearance alone. The brown hair is mixed with white, and the effect of injury or facial expression looks old.
Still feeling the dominance of the union president, Reurus laughed in trouble.
"That nickname... no, it's troublesome to correct it, but is the union president okay? I heard that bird hit me...."
With that in mind, Reurus turned his attention to the men who were here and still did not speak. There are injuries on each of them, but the behavior is calm beyond the number of places.
"Oops, I'm ashamed to have to fight with my superiors to put them together. As for the wound... there's a guy named Gilba who cured me“ at least ”. I couldn't move, so this is how I meet him."
As for the abandoned city of Madalo, it would have been hesitant to borrow the help of Zilba, an outside force, the Spirit. Still, it seems I can't say that in this disturbance.
"I have quite a bit of magic too, but I don't know how much battle it will be this time, so I can't use all my magic... I'm just mourning my own genius."
"Oh, no, I'm not blaming you. It's our adventurer habit... anyway, it's true that you're grateful. I'm grateful enough to accept a spiritual church in case something happens."
Was it Roberto's joke or was it serious? I don't know, but Gilba shakes her head sideways.
"That's a pleasant offer. Nevertheless, this time I helped as a personal acquaintance of Mr. Reurus. Don't worry about it."
"... I thought a religious man was a lot worse."
- No, he's a good person if he's not even Gregorian.
Saying that, Reurus shuts his mouth. Roberto's feelings are well understood, but he doesn't have to go out of his way to use words.
"I'll leave it... Werner was there for me while I was down, but when I got up, I had to take the lead. Nevertheless....."
When Roberto put his arms together, he frowned and looked remorseful.
"You can't take down one of my town's monkeys, including me. I'd like to excuse myself for not knowing how to fight with someone I've never seen before, but Reurus was defeated at first sight."
"If Jilba hadn't come, the second bird would have killed me...."
I didn't think there were monsters who fought so well. When Reurus scratches his cheeks in trouble, Roberto deepens the wrinkles between his eyebrows.
"When I asked Laval Waste City to kill one of those birds, There was a serious flaw in the contents of the request at the time of the two of them....."
While saying so, Roberto sees Gilba in a flash. Zilba has defeated Hikkudri, who was commissioned by the Waste City of Madalo, and Reurus has defeated the second "unexpected" one. The reality is that the situation is mixed.
"Still, I can't excuse the inaccuracy of the contents of the request. Reurus, you will be rewarded with an apology. Besides, I can't help asking you to do this...."
The color of bitterness was on Robert's face. There was a serious mistake in the content of the request to request rescue from another waste town. On top of that, we have to ask him about the future.
"Can you help me solve this disturbance?
That's how Roberto lowers his head. Reurus was going to stick his neck in order to repay Zilba, but Roberto and the others must be feeling ashamed.
Welner and the others were lowering their heads, and Reurus laughed in trouble when he saw it.
"Please raise your face. If you can get a lot of money, you can hope and fulfill it. I owe you money for the house I built, so I have to pay it back."
Tell him to stay away and Reurus receives an additional request. Considering the dangers, I would like to return to the abandoned city of Laval, but I feel guilty of leaving it like this.
As I put it, I can't deny the fact that I expect the reward to be put on board.
"Arigatai... thank you, 'Monster eater'"
"No, that's why the name is... ah, okay. So, union president, can you lend me some protective equipment to take care of the request? The armor blew out in yesterday's battle, and the other armor was loose."
It would be better than not having less quality equipment on loan from the union. That's what Reurus asked for, and Roberto turned to two advanced adventurers.
"Do you have it?
"Of course, union president."
Answer, two advanced adventurers take a large cloth wrapped object out of their feet. And when I unwrapped, there were several kinds of leather armor inside.
"We have spare armor. Werner told me what you were wearing. Use this."
"I wish I could have given you the one we were using, but I was torn apart by the flame magic...."
The two advanced adventurers look at each other and smile bitterly. Apparently, they also destroyed their defenses with Hikuidori's fireball.
"Care is not lacking, and it is definitely better quality than the one lent from the union. I'm sorry, but please use it if you like."
"Old... this is much better than the one I've been using.
Reurus wasn't eye-catching, but the armor on the desk was sturdy at first glance.
The armor used by Reurus was newly redeemed with the reward of defeating Kimira, but the material is not that good.
It was a soft leather armor made from horned rabbit leather and layered with suddenly hardened leather. Although it was easy to move because it was made to fit the size of the “then" body, it was not a big deal in terms of defense.
However, the protective equipment placed on the desk is different. It didn't change in terms of leather armor, but metal as well as hardened leather was used.
The basic construction was the same as the leather armor used by Reurus, but reinforced with metal plates to protect the heart and other acute situations. However, it was designed to not inhibit the movement of joints.
The nails and toenails are also heavily metallic, increasing in weight but also in defense. With the current revulsion, there should have been no extreme slowing down due to the weak "reinforcement" that usually occurs.
It was a revulsion to try on, but it was not uncomfortable to wear something a little heavy. Some of the advanced adventurers used it, and I'm sure they took care of it.
"It's not bad... on the contrary, it's pretty good. Are you sure you want to borrow it?
That's not true, but it should be much higher and more than double the price of the armor that Reurus was using.
"Oh, I'll do it. Thanks for killing that bird."
Well, if I say so, I have to thank Gilba too.
"What? No, no, that's exactly what I'm going to get..."
Everything I get is except for illness, but I hesitate to get a set of protective equipment.
"Please use it. You owe me a big favor. Let me give it back a little bit."
You must be saying that you defeated Hikuidori and received an additional request. Having heard Roberto's words, Reus nodded that he could not refuse as the same adventurer.
"Well, thank you for letting me use it."
Thinking about the future, it doesn't matter if you have good defenses. When Reurus receives a set of armor, Zilba opens her mouth, listening in silence until then.
"Now, about this disturbance... as far as I'm concerned, there are several intermediate monsters. If you predict the reason, you can think of about three reasons....."
"Three?
Do you have any predictions about the current situation? When Reurus prompted her, Gilba raised her three fingers with her right hand.
"One is that the monsters who lost the territoriality struggle have moved the new territory... this is the most peaceful and easy solution. I don't know how many of them have moved, but if I finish it off, I'll take care of it."
Territorial strife can occur not only in monsters, but also in animals. As for Reurus, it was incredible that Hikudori, who confronted him, had lost and escaped, but it was a possible story.
However, several kinds of intermediate monsters appear simultaneously. That is unlikely.
"One is the possibility that there is insufficient food in the forest and the range of activities has expanded in search of food. It's easy because it's just about killing people, but I can't be optimistic when I think of other monsters as well."
Only intermediate monsters stand out, but lower monsters are not necessarily absent. There is also the possibility that Eliza is currently in the abandoned city of Madalo and that she is not being stopped by.
"And one last thing... there may be a“ threat ”that middle-ranking monsters will escape."
Gilba's words are accompanied by heavy silence.
Reurus once fought a middle-ranking monster named Kimira, but the lower-ranking monster fled the woods in fear of Kimira and moved around the abandoned city of Laval.
Given that, it is not unnatural to think that an intermediate monster has escaped - that is, an advanced monster has appeared and escaped.
"... there's a firedragon in Volcano Veos, right?
And Reurus had a verse that came to mind. So I ask, contrary to expectations, Zilba shakes her head sideways.
"Yes, I am, but this time it will be“ separate. ”Originally, the area around Mount Veos was a firedragon territory. Besides, even though it's a territory, not all the other monsters are gone... but sometimes they gather to seek refuge."
Nothing?
"Probably, but... I think there's something more out there than Cars, who's supposed to be living in Rapali, running away from us."
I assure you, Reurus swallows his spit silently. I would like to apologize for confronting more monsters than Hikuidori, but I can't just run away.
Did you see the anxiety of Reurus? Gilba turns her expression into a soft one.
"But Cars is the smartest of the middle-ranking monsters. They may have decided that Mataroi is easier to live in than La Paris. As a result, it is possible that Orzo and the Wing Dragon are only stimulated and active."
"... are you saying you don't know the correct answer without checking it with your own eyes?"
"Yeah, that's what it is, isn't it?
Reurus sighed deeply and agreed to Gilba laughing.
"At the very least, I pray you are a monster at your disposal."
"To the Great Spirit?
"To the goddess I personally believe in."
"Well, that seems to be in your interest."
Gilba laughed at Reurus' words, but as a Reurus, she saved my life twice, "The Goddess.” As long as you pray to God and Buddha, you should pray to the person who actually saved your life.
(... that? In that sense, Jilba-san also saved my life.....)
He saved me from the second sunflower. Praying is likely to be in your interest, but it is likely to be in your interest.
The first step would be to check the situation around the abandoned city of Madalo, but it was a realuse that I prayed that the dragon would not come out by poking the lion.
