A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 89: Achieving a Request
It's been a day since we fought the Fire Dragon Vanille.
Reurus, who spent the whole day resting at the "Altar", nodded loudly, confirming that most of the wounds he had sustained in the battle against Vanier had been healed.
Some contracts with Eliza have increased her self-healing power, but Zilba used healing magic to cure her.
The broken right hand still hurts a little as a result of hitting Vanille in the face, but the bone itself is connected or does not stand in the way of moving. The giant winged dragon that Vanille took down was flattened from one end, so it was enough in a magical sense.
"But how dare you eat so much... Reurus, are you really human? In fact, isn't it true that the slime is transformed into a person by" change "?
Beyond Vaniel's impressively murmuring gaze, the “wreckage” of a winged dragon with only bones and skins rolls.
Although there was no one who could use ice magic, and the organs and meat needed to be eaten early, from Vanille's eyes, the revus was unusually eaten.
Of course, Reurus didn't eat everything alone. About 70% of the Wing Dragons were eaten by Vaniel, so it must have been Vaniel's joke. However, I have no choice but to protest resolutely as a Reurus who has been treated as an outsider by the Fire Dragon, which exceeds the human mind.
"Even a proper human being... my parents are human too. I mean, 'change'?
Advanced auxiliary magic that transforms into magic. Many higher monsters can use 'Change'. Some freaks turn people into "change" and blend into human society... you should be careful when you meet them. Just think of it as a hands-on exercise with "change."
"Hmm... that's exactly what you don't see. And I'm just a little bit overwhelmed."
That's what he said, Reurus throws at the bones he was rodenting.
The proof that we solved the “cause” of this disturbance is that only the skin of the giant dragon will suffice. If you are a winged dragon close to ten meters away, it is the highest of the intermediate ranks - that is the monster that should be said to be the highest of the intermediate ranks.
I ate meat and guts because they were huge and too heavy to take back to Laval Waste City, but the size of the Winged Dragon would also be conveyed if there were materials such as skin, fangs, and nails.
With Vanille's help, we could have taken all of them home, but we can't just pull a firedragon back to the abandoned city of Madalo. If you do that, it will be a disturbance unlike when the intermediate monster attacked you.
If we succeed, perhaps a fully equipped army will attack from the city of Madalo. Still no match for Vaniel, but there was a danger that the surrounding area would turn into ashes.
"... okay, then I'll go home."
Either the anger has passed overnight, or the beating is from the front, Reus tells Vanille that he has cut off his feelings for her.
We need to get back to the abandoned city of Madalo and make a fake report that we've painted with lies.
― ― This disturbance was caused by the giant dragon that was encountered at the foot of the Veos volcano.
― ― Reurus encountered and engaged this dragon. I managed to get Eliza and Gilba together.
--At that time, Dominic's dagger and dagger were broken, and the armor given to him by adventurers in the abandoned city of Madalo became worn out.
--Protect the "strange girl” when engaging the Wing Dragon. The girl was expelled from a nearby village because of her ability to use flame magic.
You must report something completely different to such a fact in person. If there was a salvation, would Jilba, a spiritual, not be questioned about credibility because of her accent?
If you report all the facts, you'll have to turn a blind eye to the fact that you won't believe it.
― ― Discovering the "altar" of the Spirit of Fire, and thinking that the Spirit of Fire had manifested itself, he signed a unilateral "contract" with Reus, and realized that the Fire Dragon appeared in the arms test.
You can't believe I made a report like that. At least if Reurus had been in a position to hear it, he would have quietly shook his head and advised him to rest.
I was given various “treasures” because I survived the "trials", an expression that I fought one-on-one. If you add something like that, you'll be unbelievable.
The rewards given by Vanille include a special ore that stores magic called "Magic Stone", a "Treasure Ball" that makes it easier to handle flame magic, and a "Treasure Ball" that makes it easier to handle lightning magic.
It was also handed over to the finest material, the Vanilla scales and nails. I was also given gold and silver, but other rewards were out of standard and had no impact.
For the record, there were about 50 gold coins and 200 silver coins. Even this is a bad reward, but it seems to be the only amount I can buy a Magic Stone.
(For the time being, there are about 7 million yen in Japanese yen....)
It is true that the money received this request for the purpose, but instead of paying off the mortgage of the house, we can build another house. I heard that if you sell "Magic Stone" and other things, it will be more than tens of times this money, and as a revulsion, it seems like it will cause problems in addition to the Spirit of Fire, which is an unpleasant place.
"Leave at least the silver coins... No, no, the gold is not beautiful or dirty, and it would be better if there were only one... but it looks like there's going to be a problem... so I wonder if I can talk to you about this."
The gold and silver coins are packed at the bottom of the backpack and hidden by the shredded fragments of Dominic's Great Sword. I only hope that no one will notice the contents of the backpack in the abandoned city of Madalo.
I gathered as many fragments of Dominic's Great Sword as I could and I was going to take them back to Laval Waste City. It will be very difficult, but I hope it can be restored perhaps.
"Hmm... next time, I'll prepare something more portable."
"That's not the problem... ahh, it's no use just putting in a tickle."
Responding with a tired voice to Vanille's words, Reus turned his back. Eliza and the others are already ready to leave, and all we have to do is leave.
"Bye, Vaniel. Can I just say that I've taken care of everything...? Yeah, well, thank you for that, right?
Farewell, Spirit of Fire. Stay strong with the contractor. "
Sarah, whom Vannille and I had known before, seemed to be a bit unforgettable. Still don't you want to stay here? I nodded at Vanille's words and smiled and lined up next to Reurus.
"Come on, Reurus! The world is waiting for me!
"I'm not waiting, can I stay here?
Sarah shouted with her arms up and full of temper. Reurus carries the backpack and sighs when he wears such a Sarah. Not being “familiar with the weight” makes me feel uncomfortable and pressured.
Still, the broken ones won't come back. Reurus sighed once more and was escorted by Vanille to depart from the Spirit of Fire's 'Altar'.
"Mr. Reurus! You're safe!
It was Reurus who left the "Altar" of the Spirit of Fire and took half a day to return to the abandoned city of Madalo, but he looked at Werner who thought he was watching the surroundings in front of the gate and said such a thing in surprise.
"I'm fine, but... did something happen?
"Something... I was worried about the flash and roar coming from the Volcano Veos!
"Ah...."
Apparently, the white rays that Vanier shot were visible even in the abandoned city of Madalo. Reurus blew a hole in the side of the Veos volcano with a big sword, but that must be the cause.
(How dare you shoot that red lizard's magic...)
Speaking ill of vanilla in his heart alone, Reurus strives for a natural bitter smile.
"I ran into a nasty monster... and I think it was the cause of this disturbance, but it's strong again. I broke my weapon."
That's how I opened the mouth of the backpack I was carrying and showed him my broken sword. There were gold and silver coins under the fragment, so I sweated cold inside.
"Is that what Jilba's carrying?
Werner then turned his gaze toward it, rounding it to make it easier to carry a winged dragon with only a skin. Did Gilba notice the gaze, or did she begin to spread the skin of the dragon on her back down to the ground?
"A Winged Dragon close to ten Melts... I see, if he was in trouble, other intermediate monsters would be kicked out of the territory."
Adventurers such as Dario begin to gather at the gate. Then Jilba checked the skin of the winged dragon, and each distorted his expression as surprised.
"When you shoot so much magic, is it comparable to the upper and lower levels?
"But it's the union president. Isn't that a big one?
"Don't be ridiculous, Dario. Big means I survived to grow up to that size. It would've been terrible if he had come to town...."
Roberto, president of the Adventurers Association of the Waste City of Madalo, senior and junior adventurers, and Dario talk to each other as they look at the Wing Dragon.
Welner also listened to the conversation, but leaned his neck as if he were curious.
"By the way, why just the skin? No, they have nails and fangs."
"I ate."
Huh?
Reurus repeated with his face to Werner, who leaned his neck and wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"I ate it because I was hungry."
"That's right... that's amazing"
Vanille ate most of it, but she didn't lie because she ate Reurus. Only 70% for Vanille, 29% for Reurus, and the rest for Eliza and Gilba.
Is it converted to magic just by eating it? Although my stomach is swollen, it is a revulsion that does not feel full.
"Er... that's right, what happened to that girl?
Werner, who had taken a step backwards, asked him to change the subject because he said that he had flattened all the flesh of a dragon that was nearly ten meters away.
Welner chose Sarah to be the speaker of the conversation, looking at the abandoned city of Madalo and sparkling her eyes. Next to that, Eliza glanced at her, and if Sarah tried to do something strange, she would stop immediately.
"I met him in the woods. They told me to bring down the Winged Dragon and kicked me out of the village... even though I could use flame magic, I wandered naked."
"The Winged Dragon was defeated by flame magic....."
It would be a good place to be reckless, Werner murmured while pulling her cheeks.
"They don't seem to have any family. I couldn't help but pick it up, so I brought it here to take it back."
"Sarah missed Reurus. I tried to take it from the church, but they said I didn't like it."
As Reurus explains, Gilba adds to it.
"Really...."
"Yes, I grew abandoned children at the church in the abandoned city of Laval, and I thought it was the Spirit's guide."
Gilba talked smelly, but she was desperate to breathe as a revus. Sarah herself is the Spirit.
"In the meantime, I was able to get rid of the monster that caused it. I would like to stay in Madalo Waste City for a few days and see if there are any other monsters coming."
"I'll do the same. In the meantime, I'm tired... and my weapon is all shattered and my armor is worn out, so please lend me something again."
When Reus laughed, Werner nodded to see if they were satisfied.
And a week after returning to the abandoned city of Madalo.
Instead of intermediate monsters, even junior monsters barely stopped by, and Roberto, the president of the Adventurers Association of the Waste City of Madalo, decided that the disturbance had ended.
"Thank you for looking after me. This is the reward for completing the request."
On the day of their departure for the abandoned city of Laval, Reurus and the others stood in front of the gates of the abandoned city of Madalo early in the morning. Roberto approached such a realuse and handed him a huge bag with a hug.
"... why is there such a big bag?
The reward should have been three large gold coins and the monster's material. That's the Reurus that leans his neck, but Roberto says as he taps the bag.
"You broke your weapon and your armor, right? This is part of the material of the monster you defeated. It contains the scales of the dragon wings and the skin of the cars. You can use it when you get back to the abandoned city of Laval."
"... ah, thank you. Thank you."
There are fire dragon nails and scales, so it is difficult to judge if it is necessary. Reurus takes it while pulling his cheeks.
It must be Roberto's courtesy to give me not only money but also monster materials. The bag of cloth that was handed over separately from the bag containing the material contained as many as 10 pieces of gold coins.
(I'm happy... I'm happy, but I'm not happy...)
Reurus didn't know what to say about this complex mood.
Not only are they gold in materials and rewards, but they also have no weapons and armor to return to the Raval Waste City, so they receive the equipment that was placed in the Adventurers' Union.
You may not compare to Dominic's great sword, but you still took over a metre of it. The armor is also made of leather, but it is robust enough to withstand use.
(For the time being, don't use 'Calorie Release'....)
Except for the Great Sword. Because it is not a magical instrument, it is likely to reach its limit soon after swinging around with "caloric release".
"Stop by again if you have a chance. Then I'll welcome you."
Whether or not you know the complex mood of Reurus, Werner, who came to see you off, smiles and says so. There's Dario next door and he's dropping off the Reurus.
Well then, let's go! Shut up!
Saying goodbye, Sarah ran away screaming about it. I don't think Sarah has the feeling of sparing farewell because she doesn't have a friendly view of the abandoned city of Madalo.
Unlike when we first met, Sarah is now dressed to look good. When I returned to the abandoned city of Laval, I was sold wizard gear to register as an adventurer.
On top and bottom of clothes made of linen, a thin leather cloak can only be seen as a human girl from the eyes of Reurus. But what kind of trouble will Sarah's presence cause in the future?
(... well, will you think about it then?)
With Zilba's efforts, everything could go well. Reurus is optimistic that if he does what he can, he will manage.
There were aspects of anxiety that could not be helped if we were not optimistic.
"Well then, shall we go home..."
Still, the joy of returning to the abandoned city of Laval is better now.
The first rescue request to become an adventurer came down this way.
