A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 93: What is Dwarf?

--Dwarf.

When I heard that name, it was the game I played in my previous life that came to mind in Reurus.

There are many vague parts of the memory of more than fifteen years ago, but the word dwarf sounded familiar. In the case of a fantasy world based game, there is a high probability of “that” dwarf appearing.

But Reurus won't let it out. When I met Eliza, I mistook her for a vampire and slashed her. It's a revulsion that I can imagine hearing about dwarfs, but I think we should be honest here.

"I've heard of it... like that?

I've heard the word dwarf in this world, but I can't remember when I heard it.

They both nodded back as they gazed at Eliza and Sarah, the adventurers they were working with.

"You're an alien, right? I've heard about it from my aunt."

"You stink of dirt! I've never seen it, but I've heard it from Vaniel!... fugah!?

Fire Dragon - Grab Sarah's head with her left hand, and Reurus shakes left and right with a gentle effort.

"Nh, why not!? I didn't do anything! No, no, no, no!

"Don't say" that name ”too much... it's fine in this town, but if someone else knows his name, they'll realize there's a connection."

In particular, the name seems to be known to Gregorians and others. When she pulled the nail, Sarah nodded honestly, so Reurus also let go of her left hand.

"As the two ladies say, it's a kind of subhuman. As a monster, there is a big individual difference, but think of it as generally intermediate."

"Hmm... what does it look like?

Reurus asks imagining the dwarf in his head.

(When it comes to dwarfs... small bearded creatures)

It is a realuse that imagines it safely, but it is also possible that it is a tall and handsome race. Confirmation will be important.

"He looks like a human and he's intelligent. You speak Komona, too. However, he is short of height and even as an adult, he is shorter than the girls. Men's dwarfs are mostly muscular on their beards. A woman's dwarf doesn't grow a mustache, but it doesn't change how strong she is."

Apparently there is no difference between the dwarf and the appearance of Reurus. The word dwarf is the same, but it is a revulsion that feels strangely connected to the previous life.

"So you can blacksmith that dwarf?

"Yes, it's one of the hallmarks of the dwarf, but he's clever and good at blacksmithing."

"Heh...."

“Really." It doesn't look like the dwarf Reurus knows about. However, for Reurus today, the difference between the dwarf he knew in his previous life and the dwarf he knew in his present life does not matter.

Whether Reurus can make a weapon that won't break with all his might - that's all I'm interested in.

"I also tried to find a good human blacksmith, but I was able to make the right weapon using the“ material the boy wanted ”and still have a strong mouth... I couldn't find such a convenient blacksmith. There it is, dwarf."

"I heard you're good at it, but is your mouth hard? I've got a good weapon, but I don't like rumors...

Natalia went out of her way to talk. I don't know if I can trust you, but I needed to confirm it as a revulsion.

However, Natalia had a troubled look, contrary to Reurus' expectations.

"It depends on the boy..."

"Hmm? What do you mean?

You don't sound like Natalia. Natalia smiles bitterly when Reurus leans his neck.

"Dwarves are hard and stubborn. I have an arm that can make great weapons and armor... but if they don't like it, they won't make it properly."

"... craftsmanship?"

An unexpected problem popped up. I have no choice but to think so, as a Reurus.

"I wonder if it would be okay to make the payment better with that kind of deal?

"I don't think so. But in my opinion, I don't think it's a problem for a boy."

"Am I okay?

Natalia says that there is no problem if it is a revulsion, keeping in mind the worries. I wonder what the basis is.

"Dwarfs, apart from being craftsmen, are mostly drunk, eaten, and fought fast."

"Um, Kazu-san? Listening to that information, I don't know how to tell you that I have no problem?

"Oh, really?

When Natalia heard Reurus's words, she laid her hand on her mouth and laughed. Unlike the usual glamorous atmosphere, it was a technique that made me feel young. That seems to be another kind of gap, and Reurus is a bit tempered.

"Go!

Then, for some reason, Eliza stepped on her feet. Eliza doesn't hurt so much because she's light, but Reurus looks reflexively.

"Why are you stepping on my feet?

"Hmm! I don't know!

"... I see."

Eliza swelled her cheeks and turned to her back. After seeing Eliza's tricks, Reurus gently stroked Eliza with a smile on her head. Apparently he was jealous.

"In my personal opinion, I think a boy would like a dwarf. I think we can understand each other by drinking alcohol, eating together, and then beating each other. And as I said before, the dwarf woman is very small.

"I want to put in a lot of tickles, but I don't know where to put them..."

I wanted to ask you what Natalia was impressed with, but it was a revulsion that looked terrible and weighed on herself.

"So that dwarf, he's been spotted several times on the west side of Mataroi. Are you a blacksmith in the flow, or is there a settlement somewhere...."

"I wonder if you can find that dwarf and make a sword for me... or if there's a settlement, who knows?

Natalia has been gathering sightings of Dwarves for the past month or so, but there may be something hidden somewhere. In that case, I didn't think there was any information at all.

When Reurus asked such a question, Natalia stepped over the reception desk. And when you put your mouth around Reurus's ear, you start talking quietly so that you can't hear them.

--Is perfume used? I smelled a nice smell.

"Depends on the location, right? It seems that Jilba didn't know about the" Altar "of the Spirit of Fire.

"Sure, I do. Even if there's a dwarf settlement, people don't usually get close... it's probably somewhere they don't get close..."

There will be plenty of places where powerful monsters are frequent and humans cannot get close. As expected, there aren't many dangerous zones like Fire Dragon territory, but it's difficult to get close just because there are a lot of low-level monsters living there.

"There's a lot of sightings on the west side of Mataroi. I wonder if the kid can find any trace of it around here?

"Dwarfs are also a kind of monster, so they have magic... by the way, are you really close?

I don't know if I can tell the surroundings, but it's really close to Natalia. There is Natalia's face next to Reurus's face, so it seems like she is going to stick it on her cheeks just by turning it slightly sideways.

By the way, when I dropped my gaze, I saw Natalia's rich chest. Natalia is dressed like a black dress that doesn't suit her position as an Adventurers Association receptionist.

"Does the boy hate this?

"No, I love it. Especially as beautiful and stylish as you are... no, especially if you're an attractive woman."

Reurus replied with a smile to Natalia, who asked him to whisper. In terms of appearance alone, it's my favorite among the women around me.

"Oh, you're good."

That said, Natalia had a glossy smile, and Reurus, who saw the smile, naturally deepened his smile. Beautiful smiles are nice, even if they may have a “back”.

"What? What about Eliza? Iiiiii!?

Reurus and Natalia opened their distance simultaneously because they heard Sarah screaming behind them. Then the conversation resumed as if nothing had happened.

"But, Sebastian, I want the sword in the mountains, but can I throw out the work of the adventurer? There are penalties, right?

"I don't mind. It's better if the boy can't do everything he can. I don't think so, but if Kimira comes out again, can we defeat him with our current weapon?

"... I wish I could defeat you, but I might break my sword before I defeat you."

Reurus had fought Kimira before, but at that time he hit the Raval Waste City's elite, causing many injuries, and was able to win on top of it.

Now that Eliza and I have a "contract" and are able to use the "caloric release" on their own terms, we will be able to fight more “decently” - but the sword is about to break while we are fighting.

Perhaps even the sword could be broken and defeated without strength.

"Look, if the boy had such anxiety, it would be bad for this town, wouldn't it? Then I'd appreciate it if you could just send it out honestly and bring me back a good weapon. Besides, if a kid dies or gets injured because of a defect in his weapon, he'll be in trouble."

"Yoshi-san....."

As far as I could hear, it sounded like an adventurers' union reception, but Natalia's expression seemed worrying. Apparently, the second half is more genuine and worried about Reurus.

Because it was perceived, Reurus leaked a moving voice.

"I can take the dwarf home if you want. A skilled blacksmith would welcome this town. If you're a boy, you can catch a girl, right?

"Yoshi-san....."

Even though it was the same word that you just leaked, the emotions you put in it were the opposite. Reurus turned his eyes toward Natalia.

"I think there's an incredible confusion between me and my husband."

"If only Eliza's daughter had brought Sarah's daughter. It's not strange that it happened twice or three times in a row, is it?

The proverb of the previous life - the word 'twice is three times' passed Reurus' brain. However, Reurus immediately shook his head to shake off the idea.

"The question is, can we find the dwarf in the first place? How many days do I have to leave town?

Natalia turns the smoke pipe with her right hand in response to the distracting Reurus.

"Well... thanks to the boys, the monsters aren't too close, and for a month... no, no problem for up to two months."

"Two months or so... isn't it long?

Even when I received a rescue request from the Waste City of Madalo, I was absent from the Waste City of Laval for about three weeks. Reurus wonders if we should be so far away.

"When we were in Madalo Waste City, we had a destination, and we didn't have to decide who we were going to take down. But not this time. It could take two months to find the dwarf."

"Two months is not enough if I succeed... I understand. If that's the case, I'll be back in two months at the most."

Not only do we need to find the dwarf, but we also need to ask them to make a weapon and include it up to the time it takes for the weapon to be ready. Given these various times, it was felt that two months was short.

"I wish I could make not only swords, but also magic tools..."

The rewards from Vanille included special items like "Magic Stones" and "Gems". It would be great to find dwarfs with arms that can process them into weapons and armor, Reurus says.

And now that you've heard that you're at most two months away, you'll also need to confirm Eliza's and Sarah's intentions.

"Eliza, Sarah, is that okay with you two... Eliza?

"Hmm...."

Reurus looked back and there was Eliza with her cheeks inflated. Sarah wanders her gaze in trouble next to her, and Reurus blinks several times before turning to Sarah.

"Sarah...."

"I'm coming with you! I'll follow you even if you say no! If you leave me, I'll chase you! I'll go after him crying!

Apparently there was no need to ask. Given Sarah's personality, the response was predictable.

"Eliza."

"Hmm...."

"You're so cute and persistent again...."

Apparently he didn't like the conversation with Natalia. Your cheeks are swollen and you say "thump" with your mouth, but your eyes are flickering.

At these times, it's a sign that I want you to be okay. That's how Reurus picks up Eliza.

"I need your help. Please, Eliza... will you come with me?

"... fu, huh. So, I won't be fooled... Reurus, don't you like big tits like Natalia?

Oh.

"Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

I nodded honestly thinking that something like this had happened before. Then Eliza began to run wild with a strange voice.

It was Eliza who broke out with her hands and feet, but she couldn't reach the revus because she was holding her arms and lifting them. Natalia smiled bitterly as she watched them.

"You're kidding." Whatever I say, keep it that way... and the boy. "

"Hmm? What?

Looking at Eliza, Natalia somehow had a serious look on her face.

"Even if you're a kind of monster, you shouldn't eat it.

"Yoshi-san, what do you think I am... that's why I don't eat people who understand human language?"

"What kind of humanoid monster doesn't understand human language?

"Uh... depending on the situation? I might eat it if I'm hungry....."

Natalia sighs when she hears Reurus' response.

Thus, it was decided that the dwarfs would be searched for by the Reurus family.
