A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The Altar of the Spirit of Fire at the foot of Mount Veos, on the territory of the Fire Dragon.

Sometimes in the territory of the Fire Dragon, the Reus was asleep in the place where no other monsters would come near.

Of course, even if you sleep, you must be careful. Instead of lying on the floor, she leans back on a stone pillar and sleeps beside a shy statue that mimics the spirit of fire.

Wearing equipment, the Great Sword lays on the floor with its bare body ready to swing. The right hand remains attached to the handle of the Great Sword and will be able to intercept it immediately even if the monster hits.

Jilba stopped setting fire in the "Altar", so he kept the lights on with candles. No matter how many monsters didn't come, I couldn't be alarmed, and now I was on fire so that Jilba woke up and the candles wouldn't go out.

Naturally, you can't sleep well. If anyone is asleep here, it is Eliza who sleeps on the thighs of Reurus.

No matter how thick the revulsion is, you can't sleep completely outside of a well-guarded area. It's a little easier because I keep my back on a pillar, but I can't sleep on a hard stone floor.

--Therefore, "it” is a dream, a present or a phantom.

"... hey... hey"

Someone's voice reaches behind Reurus' shallow sleep. The moment he recognized the voice, Reurus jumped up and tried to knock on the big sword without asking questions - but his body did not move at all against his consciousness.

Even though the body is asleep, it feels like awakening only consciousness. Looking around, the sight was dark and the candle that Zilba was supposed to have had was invisible.

However, the temperature was strangely high because I couldn't see anything. Even in summer, the stone 'altar' is cool, and even though the sun falls and it is remarkable, it is as hot as being burned by fire.

"... what is this?"

Unexpectedly, he murmured in his heart, but the voice reached his ear firmly.

It is clear to dream, ambiguous to reality, and realistic to illusion. It was a vague (ambiguous) state where your consciousness was only floating.

"Maybe I'm... dead?

Reurus first came to the conclusion that he was dead because he had died once. I don't remember what happened just after I died, but I thought I died in too vague a state.

Was that hot spring bad? He died of poison gas? I mean, if the poison is dangerous enough to kill me, so is Eliza.... "

It is resistant to poison, but it may have been toxic enough to exceed that resistance. It was a realuse that thought such a thing aggressively, but the voice echoed to block the thought.

Hey! Look at me!

Hmm?

When the newly built house is depressed and the loan is depressed, some voices fly in. It was a Reurus who I thought it was in a dark view, but when I noticed it, there was red light in front of me.

I finally realized...

Fufufu, red light floating like a human soul. Reurus looked silently for the Great Sword, but could not find it in his dreams. In that case, he tried to pull out the dagger hanging behind his waist, but his right hand was just cutting the sky.

"... which one?

I don't suppose there's any more hostility than that. I think so, but I can't hide my vigilance in sudden events.

I've been watching it for the last five days, and I've been talking, so why ignore it!

It was an unobstructed voice that directly reached my brain. The red light in front of you is violently flashing as a sign of dissatisfaction, and it feels like the ambient temperature has risen accordingly.

"... even if I suddenly get exposed to stalking behavior..."

Sutakyungu? I don't know what it is, but I feel like I've been fooled!

Because it's in a dream, what you think becomes a word. And the red light that hears the words of Reurus shines more as an expression of anger.

Ahhh! What is this guy...? "

Reurus that glows with red light and suddenly raises ambient temperatures to raise its voice.

I don't know, but I've been watching it for the last five days or so, and I think I've been speaking up. The Reurus asked after a few seconds of trouble.

"Ah... I sometimes feel my gaze, but was that you...?"

That's right! I've been talking to you, and you finally reacted to me!

"No, wait, all the time? That's....."

I tried to ask if something was wrong, but before that, the red light flashed violently.

There's more to it than that, isn't there? Hurry up!

"What to do?

Was there so much to be done that it needed to be hurried? That's one concern that came to mind in Reurus' thoughts.

The loan was paid when there was no interest or reminder? Besides, if the current request can be fulfilled, it will be paid in full.... "

What are you talking about!? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! We've been waiting for so long!

The pseudonym "pump" seemed to suit me. At the same time, the red light blinks many times, but as a revulsion, "What is he saying? The confusion only arises. '

"What's your name?

It's Reurus.

I want to remain silent, but I reply immediately whether it is directly linked to my thoughts. When the red light heard Reurus's name and thought it had increased its glow, it turned its shape into a “small fire” like a candle.

That's a good name. Yeah, I don't know how, but a magical vortex mixed with magic from one end of it would be nice!

"Well, thank you... I don't know if I'm happy about that."

A small spark that floats and flies around Reurus. It was the size that would disappear if I breathed, but it was a spark that felt strange and “powerful”.

By the way, the ambient temperature is also rising. There was a burning fever that was naked and thrown into the desert.

Then it's your turn next!

"... what happened?

Reurus asks with deep doubt that he does not understand what the spark is saying. What does the spark in front of me want? I wanted you to play a proper conversation catchball.

I heard your name, so there's one thing to do!?

Hmm? Ah... what's your name?

…………

I heard your name, so I guess you should ask me the same thing. It was a realuse to judge and ask, but the sparks silenced and shaken the flames, creating an atmosphere of dissatisfaction.

Apparently, Reurus' question got rid of the objective.

"... what do you think your name is?

While saying that, the spark grows slightly as self-assertive as possible. Reurus, who saw it, leaned his neck in his dream.

What, a quiz? Fire... fire... fire... hey "

I don't know what I want to do, but if I don't answer, I won't let you go.

Although I don't know who I'm dealing with, it doesn't seem like it's just a dream. It was too sudden an encounter for Reurus to honestly say what he thought.

"Salamander Sarah?

A cheap name like a seal appearing on the Tama River. It wasn't exactly a name such as soul or fire, but it was a kind of consideration.

Sarah......

Oh, is that correct?

Just because you answered correctly doesn't mean you have any prizes or prizes, but if you wake up from this dream, Reurus thinks it's fine. The temperature is too high, and even the sweat is about to evaporate immediately.

The spark makes the flame flash many times, murmuring with emotion.

I see... that's my name.

"... hmm?

I said something funny again. It was a Reurus who tried to bump into such a word, but when I heard the words that kept sparking, I couldn't help but complain.

─ The contract has been made.

At the same time as that word, "something”, which was a small fire, bursts into flames. Swallow the surrounding darkness, and the flame runs endlessly horizontally and vertically, swallowing even the consciousness of Reurus.

"What...?

Rather than bones, the heat burns out your soul. There was no time to exhale the word "hot", and Reurus' consciousness burned and vanished.

Reurgh!

Eliza's voice echoed to prevent it.

"Hmm!?

Consciousness “burns out” - just before that, Reus woke up.

Reurus checks his condition and realizes that his body moves freely. At the same time, I noticed a lot of sweat flowing from my body.

Reuruuu!

"... Eliza?

And somehow there was Eliza's face in front of her. Tears appeared in his eyes, holding him in his arms and calling him Reurus' name.

"Good, are you awake..."

There was also Gilba nearby, and she looked worried about Reurus. Reurus leans his neck in such a state.

"Er... what the hell is going on..."

"That's what I'd like to hear... but I can't seem to say that either."

That's how Gilba looks away from Reurus and looks back at the center of the Altar. A small fire appeared above the Spirit of Fire statue when Jilba caught me looking at it.

It was as small as the fire that lit the candle at first, but it gradually increased in size as the vortex rolled. At the same time, it began to emit heat around it - Reus frowned.

(Is this... magic?

As the flame grows, so does the magic. It's also gathering magic from the surroundings, so that it can breathe in the air.

The flame is making a loud noise and making it huge. While the momentum increases, the temperature rises while illuminating the "altar".

"... don't cut me now."

While gently pulling away Eliza, who was holding her in tears, Reurus stood up with a big sword on the floor. I don't know what the hell is coming out of it, but if you use 'Caloric Release', you can knock it out magically even if it's a little far away.

"Wait! That's... no way..."

But Gilba will stop that revulsion. He stood between the revus and the flames and opened his eyes as if he had seen something incredible.

While doing so, the huge flames all at once become smaller. I thought the flame had become rounded like a cocoon, but after a few seconds I could play it.

"--fufufu"

Then sounds, like a girl. Reurus, who was drawn to his voice, saw a girl standing on a Spirit Statue of Fire.

A fairy of fire with long red hair and a flaming appearance. Her red eyes were as bright as her hair colour, and her cute and victorious face seemed to represent the girl's personality.

Her height is the same as that of Eliza. She is wearing a flame and her physical condition is similar even though the details are unknown.

(... no, it's too similar.

From a closer look, I felt like Eliza. The color of the hair, eyes and eyes are different, so I know it's someone else, but the overall “parts” resemble Eliza. I don't say twins, but if you say sisters, I think it would be satisfactory.

The girl stood on top of the Spirit Statue of Fire and stared at Reurus. Stay staring as if you were expecting something.

…………

Reurus, who was under the girl's gaze, held his sword silently. I don't understand what it is, but the girl emits strong magic and “heat”. Assuming they attacked with the flames they were wearing, I thought I'd slash them all down.

"Oh... no way... no way!

Gilba, who stood between such a revus and the girl, shook her whole body and shook her voice of joy. It seemed that Reurus was paying attention to the girl without realizing that he had a great sword, and his voice was trembling as well as his body.

"Are you... a spirit of fire!?

Pickles, and the girl's eyebrows move. Then he turned to Gilba, but the girl's facial expression was somehow distorted.

"Spirit of fire..."

Eliza, who was gently pulled apart by Reus, murmured confused as she saw the girl. Gilba said the same thing, but she must have felt like herself.

"Um...."

The girl leaks her voice as she listens to Gilba and Eliza. It wasn't the first zero laughter, it was the uncomfortable sound.

"I have a name!“ Spirit of Fire ”is not a name, it's a name given to me by Reurus!

A girl shouting like that with her chest up. Eliza and Gilba look back, but Reurus remains silent. He held his sword silently.

"I'm Sarah! It's Sarah, the Spirit of Fire who made the 'Deal' with Reurus!

The girl - Sarah jumps out of the Spirit of Fire statue. And standing in front of Reurus, he reached out with a smile.

"Now I can get out of this mountain on my own free will! Come on, let's go on a journey together, Reus! Give it to me!

"--I refuse"

Sarah's smile froze to a cold response from Reurus.
