A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Hearing the words of Fire Dragon - Vanille, Reus wished it were a joke.

The vanilla that got down on the ground is huge enough to need to look up. The whole length was more than thirty meters, and his face was ten meters from the ground, even when he went down to the ground.

Still, the giant would be slow to move - it's a quick move to think so. In addition to magic such as "enhancement", giants over 30 meters could move more agile than revulsions.

Good physical fitness is a kind of talent. Large bodies are a threat only, and if they are as big as Fire Dragons, they will not be noisy about talent.

The size of the body is the same, but the weight should also be appropriate. At least a few tons, if weighed, are likely to weigh several dozen tons.

The 'altar' is about to break down here... let's try it over there.

That way, the Fire Dragon disappears. Then a moment later, the sound, including the weight, echoed and the ground swayed.

Reflexively, Reurus turned his gaze, and there was a firedragon that had traveled more than 200 meters in just a second. It is possible to manipulate the human language, but if it is magical enough to "strengthen", it seems to use it as natural.

(It's that giant... that's a big step by step...)

Running away can catch up instantly. Reurus, so enlightened, muttered in his heart like other personnel.

If you believe what I just said, you must fight the Fire Dragon now.

(You're dead...)

Once the Fire Dragon shows its movements, Reurus is convinced of his death.

I had asked Jilba before about the people who could defeat the Fire Dragon, but now that I actually saw the Fire Dragon, I didn't think there was any such person.

Wrong is not a one-on-one adversary.

Physical abilities that are commensurate with the giant that far surpasses the ordinary monster. You're not only a firedragon, you're also a flame magician. In addition, because it has a huge amount of magic, the benefits of "strengthening" are also incredible.

On top of that, the Fire Dragon can fly. Just shooting magic from above will easily return one or two of the towns to the ashes. Destroying a country is neither a joke nor an exaggeration.

The Fire Dragon, who will probably live for hundreds of years, must have developed knowledge and experience over those long years. It is not surprising that Reurus' struggling Hikuidori warrior showed skillful tactics enough to think of him as a child's play.

(If I tell you to give me back my palm now and take care of Sarah... which one of you will be killed?)

While showing as much rejection as possible, return the palm if danger is imminent. If Reurus were a Fire Dragon, he would not hesitate to kill Sarah, judging that it was not enough.

However, even if Sarah were to pass through this scene, the Fire Dragon would approve Sarah's accompaniment this time. I don't know what happened between the Fire Dragon and Sarah, but it was extremely troublesome to fall into either.

In the first place, what do you want me to do even if I tell you to show “value”? The Fire Dragon is already on the lookout, but you want to take it down?

It's not about being uncomfortable. As a realuse, I was experiencing the irrationality of living in this world and entering three fingers.

"Um, sorry, right? For my part, I didn't think you would hate it so much, and I didn't think Vaniel would think about it anymore...."

Sarah looks awkward and apologizes to Reurus who thinks she can avoid the fight. When he heard that, Reurus stared at him in a full mood.

"If you think so, break the contract now."

"Um... I'm sorry. I can't do that alone. I don't want to drift on my consciousness for decades anymore...."

"... what do you mean?

Sarah feels painful about where she's been.

"Spirits aren't born as easily as normal creatures. In my case, Vanille told me that the magic of the region had been gathered for many years and that" I ”had been created..."

"... who signed the 'contract' with me?

"For me” to be me... to be Sarah? And with the magic of Reurus, it would be easier to realize it..... "

After all, it seems that Sarah chose Reurus as her "contract" partner with a purpose. As the chosen Reurus, I have no sympathy because it is the only one responsible for this situation.

"I told you for a long time, how much is that?

But Eliza ate something that caught in Sarah's words. When Sarah leaned her neck twice or three times, she raised herself up in arms.

"Hmm... I don't remember it because I can't count anymore, but... it hasn't been a hundred years...?

――――

In response, Reurus also lost his words.

This is how Sarah can move freely now, but her consciousness alone couldn't move around at her own will.

It is unclear how much time has elapsed, but the feeling of years has been worn out by "staying here” for a long time.

The Fire Dragon territory is a place where people and monsters do not approach, and they will live for decades without any change, and if they succeed, for nearly a hundred years.

It's like torture of a bad nature. Human beings are likely to go mad early if they continue to live in the same place, without interacting with others, just by consciousness.

"Speaking of which, 10... 20 years after I was born, did the human army ever attack to defeat the Vanier? Even after that, people came and challenged the Vanier....."

The human army is the army of Mataroi that Zilba told me about. The people who came after that were probably Gregorians.

"That's all I can remember, but since my consciousness became clear, it's the first time I thought I could make a contract with Reurus."

I heard Sarah's story in silence, but this is the first time Sarah's voice has been sad.

"I apologize for 'contracting' on my own... I'm sorry. But I don't like the other one! I know you're a wacko! Please...."

Sarah lowered her head with enough momentum to make a sound.

"--Get me out of this mountain!

Reurus sighed as Sarah lowered her head deeply.

(That's what I should have said from the beginning...)

The impression would have changed if we had suddenly entered into a "contract" and talked about the situation from the beginning, without losing the escape route for Reurus. That way, Reurus would never have been so evil.

Perhaps the harms that I've never talked to have made me do it. I think I've talked to Vannille before, so my attitude and tone may also have an impact on Vannille.

I understand Sarah's approximate circumstances - but whether or not to “carry” is another story.

"Reurus... can you get Sarah out of here?

But Eliza, who was pointing a corner earlier, told her to cover Sarah. A little surprised at this, Reurus turned her gaze, and Eliza gripped the hem of Reurus' clothes and said sadly.

"I'm lonely... and I can't imagine it for decades."

For Eliza, who was killed by her family and left alone all the time, Sarah's personal story is nothing else. Still, it's easier to find your place on your own than Sarah.

"You...."

It was Sarah who had lowered her head until then, but she looked surprised to hear Eliza's words. And Eliza stared seriously, slightly blushing her face and distracting herself.

"... ah, thank you"

Are we done here?

As Sarah thanked her, Vaniel interrupted. Even if it was close to 200 meters away, I could hear the conversation between the Reurus, and it seemed like there was nothing to complain about.

Contractor of the Spirit of Fire, do you understand the situation?

"It's done... it's done, but even if you're challenged to fight unilaterally, you won't be motivated."

Reurus, who received an irrational request, abandoned his words with all the trouble. But Vaniel didn't care or blame it.

"Hmm... then I'll just kill you?

"I think you might want to hear Sarah's story and kill her as she is... I'd like to check one thing. Am I the only one fighting?

Of course. The vampire species there has a "contract" with you, but let me be clear. You won't be my opponent. I'm just in the way. You alone will have a better chance of surviving. "

Vernier is willing to kill, but that's probably the right word. There was no time for Eliza to 'sing' in front of Vanille, and I don't think she would be able to defend herself during 'sing' as a Reurus.

And even if the "Chant" is completed, only thunder magic can be used to defeat the exhausted Hikuidori. I didn't think it would work for Vaniel, the Fire Dragon.

"As a Spirit, I'd like to help too...."

'Nann. This is a challenge for the contractor to see if it is enough to entrust the Spirit of Fire. If I disturb you, I'll kill you first. "

Worst case scenario, Zilba won't be able to help us. Vanille's words don't feel any lies, and if Zilba does, she'll kill him first.

The overwhelming strength on this scene is Vanier, and no amount of Gilba is a match for him. Reurus exhaled a deep sigh, not knowing how many times it would happen.

"... then let me make two conditions."

Hmm... "To a certain extent," but is there anything?

"If I can accomplish what you say, let the monsters rage around your territory. I was originally asked to do it. If I can do that... well, I'll accept that it's in my interest."

Compared to fighting firedragons, it would be a small hope. Vaniel nodded to the eagle after hearing the terms offered by Reurus.

Okay. So what's the other condition?

"If I die, Eliza and Gilba will miss it. Can you accept this condition?

"Reuruuu!?

Eliza opened her eyes to surprise when she heard the second condition. Then he hurried to retract Reurus' words, but Vaniel responded before he did.

Well, I accept. I swear by my name and my soul, I will fulfill my promise. "

This is the least we can do, but we have a “reason to fight," and Eliza and the others are safe. Reus held the sword on his shoulder and walked toward Vanille - Eliza grabbed Reus' arm.

The force was strong and hit Eliza's gaze, as Reurus thought he would look back.

"Reurus... when Reurus dies, I will challenge the Fire Dragon. I can't win, but I'm going to die with a little scratch...."

I could not feel any lies in the words. If Reurus dies, there will be a swallowing of swords that will attack the Fire Dragon as he says.

"Hey, don't say anything unfortunate. I mean, if you do that, there's no point in giving me a second condition....."

Reurus turned around, bent his knees and aligned his gaze with Eliza. And gently stroking his head, he untied Eliza's hand, and now he went back to Vaniel.

"For the time being, what are the challenges and the conditions for achieving them?

You think I'll answer that?

"No, I'm just asking."

About 200 meters from the Altar, face the Vanier in a plain where solidified lava and jets roll. Faced with that, I was told that I was going to fight the “monster” in front of me, and fear struck Reurus.

I don't know what kind of criteria to impose a test on, but even if you're handicapped, you'll only die once you allow a direct hit. There are so many weight differences.

Reurus grabbed the big sword on his right shoulder and grabbed the handle with both hands and lowered his hips. And as he calmed down, he stared at Vaniel's face.

(Fighting a dragon with a sword, or... what kind of adventure, you son of a bitch)

When I picked up the memories of the previous life, there were many such stories. However, when I get into that position, I cry at the foolishness hostile to the irrational creature in front of me.

Still, there's no way we can get out of here. Even if she tried to escape, Vaniel wouldn't let her escape.

Fighting properly will definitely kill the opponent rather than the 19th century. Even though the giant body is still alive, the magic that feels like a storm is out of standard.

― Caloric Release .

Therefore, Reurus does not spare from the beginning. Without waiting for a declaration of the beginning of a trial or a fight, use your greatly enhanced physical abilities to disappear from the scene.

Mmm?

Vanille gazes at the amount of magic blowing up from Reurus' body and follows Reurus' movements with her eyes.

The vanished Reus jumped to the same height as Vanille's neck. Then he waved his great sword with all his might and struck the sharp blade with the intention of "chopping off” Vanille's neck.

Even though it is a challenge, Vaniel is willing to kill it, until Reurus responds to it.

"Death."

The slash, which was meant to kill with a single blow, only slightly damaged the skin of the Vanille. A hard response was sent to both hands, as if they had slashed the steel, but Reus laughed fiercely to ignore it.

The outcome of the trials will be determined by the standards of the Vanier. However, as for Reurus, there is no stepsister to go out with “such things”.

Like an adventurer, you just have to kill him and eat him, as usual. As he kicked Vanille's neck and stepped down to the ground, Reus waved his sword back to his right shoulder.

"Oh, come on, red lizard. You look like you're eating a lot of food... and I'm going to smash your neck off and eat your bones."

I provoke you in the hope that Vanier's attacks, which have been marked by anger, will be a bit monotonous. Attacks may only increase the chance of death, but we should work on it.

F-hahahahahaha! You said you'd eat me!

Reurus thought so. But Vaniel's reaction was beyond Reurus' expectations.

That's right! You're a good man! Fight it! It's inferior to livestock to give up and enjoy despair! That's it! Show me the value, the glow of your life!

Instead of being angry, this figure fills your magic with joy. Looking at it, Reus gripped the handle of the great sword and thought.

(I feel like I handled it all wrong.....)

Apparently, surprise and provocation had only the effect of making Vernier “happy”. However, he could not escape now, and Reurus was prepared to run away.
