A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"I don't know what to do with this...."

It was a Reurus who defeated a group of bandits who attacked him, but he looked around the streets and groaned at the sea of flesh and blood.

I pray for blessings with both hands, but the bandits came first. The first arrow was also stuck to Reurus' neck if he hadn't noticed.

I have no regrets for killing more than half of them. Reurus wondered if he should have recommended surrender before killing too much. “Aftertreatment” is too much hassle.

And beyond the sea of blood, there were bandits who were stunned by Eliza's lightning magic. None of us are dead, but we can't just leave them on their journey.

"Sarah, shoot the flame magic into the sky. If there's a soldier nearby, you'll see what's going on."

"Yes, yes... uhh!

Sarah turned her right hand to the sky and fireballed like a fireworks. Fireball rises to a height of a few dozen meters and explodes flashly, making a roar sound. I will try it three times, but if there are soldiers nearby, they will rush me.

(But there are so many bandits... maybe there aren't soldiers patrolling)

In that case, the body will be buried and Sarah's flame magic will have to be applied to it. As for the rest of the bandits who didn't have to be killed...

(Well, it was “bad luck.”)

They raided us when time was of the essence. Reurus thinks to keep a close eye on things. You may leave without me, but the root cause should be rejected, as there is little likelihood that the abandoned city of Laval will be attacked by resentment.

"I thought I didn't need my magic... just Reurus and Sarah..."

Reurus was thinking a lot about things, but he heard Eliza's teasing voice so he switched consciousness.

"Don't be ridiculous. I was weak this time, so I managed, but at first I thought I might be a Gregorian... and I didn't have to kill half of them because of your magic."

With that said, she put her hand on Eliza's head and stroked it to encourage her. There is no stain on Eliza's hair because she hasn't been exposed to the returned blood, but the smell of blood may be present.

"... is that so?"

Apparently, it's tough this time. Eliza raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction and saw Sarah flying a ball of fire towards the sky after a certain time.

Indeed, Sarah's power is stronger than expected. It is only called the Spirit of Fire, and it freely manipulates the flame by instantly burning out the released arrows in the air. Compared to Eliza, who cannot use lightning magic without "chanting", she is more responsive.

There seems to be plenty of magic, and the amount of magic Sarah can feel is not enough to add the magic of Reurus and Eliza.

(You can freely manipulate the flame magic, and there is also a lot of magic. "Enhancement" is also possible, but you can also use auxiliary magic such as "ideological calls"... that? Sarah's a pretty good hit, isn't she?

Reurus was also treated poorly because he had made a "contract" unilaterally and without asking questions, but it would be enough to be called the Spirit of Fire. Vanille was not helpful to the opponent, but he was also given a 'Protect' that made him stronger against fire.

From now on, it was a revulsion that I wanted to soften my attitude, but I checked Sarah's abilities again and found it was compatible with the way she fought it. As far as the skill of manipulating flame magic is concerned, it is easy to defend Reurus on one side of a melee battle, besides flying a magical blade.

"Ah, something's approaching! How many... slightly?

Keep Eliza calm while thinking about Sarah for a while. I'm afraid you've noticed Sarah's flame magic or something is approaching.

Reurus pulls his hand away from Eliza's head, stopping Sarah from shooting the flame magic. Then he pierced the Great Sword into the ground to show that there was no hostility, and fished his nose to retrieve the letter passed from Zilba.

(I can't believe I got it and used it in less than a day....)

Perhaps it is unusual for a bandit to have such a large amount without knowing it. I encountered a bandit too soon for Reurus to think so.

"What the hell is this?!?

This was a heartbeat revulsion, saying that it would be funny if additional bandits arrived, but fortunately it was three soldiers who ran. They each wrap themselves in metal armor and hold a spear in their hands.

Probably the soldier in charge of the search, he shouted in surprise when he saw the surrounding “tragedy”.

From the soldiers' point of view, I suppose they were going to find out what caused the fireball to pop in the air. When it ran, it was full of corpses. It was impossible to scream.

"This is Reurus, a junior adventurer from the abandoned city of Laval. I was on my way to deliver a sacrifice to Tillier's church at the behest of the spiritual Gilba, but the bandits attacked me... they're just stunning the bandits who are rolling there."

Reurus opens his hands and explains that there is no hostility. The expression was as troublesome as it was an explanation with eyebrows raised without saying I was sorry.

"This letter is a“ request ”from a spiritual Gilba... May I approach?

"Wait, don't move!

It would be sooner to give a letter and explain. That's what I thought, Reurus, but the soldiers put their spears up to stop it. Soon one of the soldiers ran out and began to return to the path he had come to.

"Hey, Reurus... isn't that bad? I'm a little wary.

"That's strange... after all, if you don't have a proper identity like Gilba-san, is it bad treatment?

The "Guest ID" is lowered to make it look like soldiers on the neck, but the vigilance is not relaxed. Or even if there was a "Guest ID", Reurus leaned his neck in his heart to wonder if it was this treatment.

If that's the case, if you're traveling with only the adventurer's registration card on, you'll be caught instantly. The low status of the adventurer in this world is sad - it pulls back the thought that he was running away from reality.

"... I was just about to get lost. If more than a dozen slaughtered bodies roll in the middle of the street, everyone will be alert...."

"You said that Vanille killed hundreds or thousands of soldiers who attacked the Veos volcano.

"That's a different situation... oh, here it comes."

Reurus and Sarah communicate without speaking up and through 'ideological calls'. It was a little uncomfortable just to remember, but it would be a great magic to keep a secret.

Nevertheless, Reurus felt the magic of approaching us. I couldn't feel the magic from the scouts, but apparently the main squad has someone who can use magic.

There were quite a few footsteps to hear, and it was a group of nearly thirty soldiers who showed up. They are each wrapped in metal armor and armed with weapons such as spears and swords. Some of them looked like captains on horses.

"You look so weak... you're a soldier, but you're fat. Your horse looks spicy!

"No, but I can feel the magic... and the appearance isn't very pleasant."

In a world where magic and monsters exist, the appearance will not be easy. When it comes to appearances, Sarah and others resemble Eliza, but the inside is the spirit of fire.

However, the amount of magic I could feel from a man like Captain was very small.

"You're the reported adventurers....."

The man on the horse is probably in the middle of thirty. The height is not that different from Reurus, but the belly circumference is nearly double. The special order and the thinly made metal armor were also huge, and were widely constructed to protect the torso.

"My name is Reurus, a junior adventurer from the abandoned city of Laval."

"Hmm... I don't care what your name is. Did you do this?

The man asks as he looks down from the moment. The surrounding soldiers scattered and surrounded themselves in a circle so that the Reurus could respond even if they resisted. The movement is fairly agile, but it seems inferior to the soldiers Reurus saw on his previous journey.

"Yes, I was on my way to deliver a offering to the Church of Tyrier at the request of a Spirit, Mr Gilba, but it was suddenly attacked...."

"Hoo-hoo... a offering?

Hearing the words of Reurus, the emotions in the man's eyes changed easily. Looking at the huge backpack on the ground, the color of desire pops into my eyes.

However, when he saw the "Guest ID" with Reurus hanging on his neck, the man raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh... fuumu, what a punitive thief to interrupt a spiritual request."

"No, not at all"

"I can't complain whether I live here or if the bandits are killed... but..."

That being said, the man got off the horse. The movement was lighter than expected, but the sound of landing was commensurately heavy. The man walked up to the revus with a loud footsteps and placed his hand on the double-breasted jaw.

Reurus stabbed the big sword on the ground, but the dagger was pointing behind his waist. Still inadvertently approaching are you confident that Reurus will not attack, or that Reurus will attack.

"I don't know how many dead people are rolling in the streets during daylight hours... Bandit crusade is our" original ”job... hey?

"Could we just pay for the fire powder... and take care of the area?

With that in mind, Reus handed three small gold coins along with a letter from Gilba. The man then reads the letter and immediately returns it to Reurus, distorting his expression with joy. Of course, I kept the small gold coins.

"So we'll handle the bandits?

"Yeah."

"I see, I see... mmm, I have a good position. Then we'll take care of the bandits."

When the man who heard Reurus's reply laughed satisfactorily, he turned his back and started giving instructions to the soldiers. Soldiers unwrap bodies and stunned bandits, the bodies cut off their ears, and the stunned bandits tied up with ropes.

Some of the soldiers had begun digging holes in the forest by the street, where they thought they were going to bury the bodies.

Hey, is that okay? You're a thief, right?

"What's in it for me to kill a bandit?" I'm an adventurer, right? Besides, time is more wasted now than money. The coins... well, as a necessary expense, the living bandits will pick them up?

Probably take them to the Lord who employs them and report them as their own. If we destroy a group of more than twenty bandits, we should be rewarded accordingly.

As a realuse, we could save time on the aftertreatment of bandits, and the soldiers warmed up their pockets - even if the three small gold coins were “study money”, they didn't feel like losing.

"Now, soldier, we're done....."

"Mm-hmm. I wish you a safe journey. With the protection of the Great Spirit... haha!

How would Zilba react if she were here? Reurus and the others hurried away, laughing on their backs.

When she carried her luggage and was far enough away from the soldiers earlier, Eliza opened her mouth.

"... the soldiers I saw earlier looked disgusting to me."

"Really? I like it because it's easy to understand when it comes to getting rid of money."

If Eliza, Sarah, and the luggage had been handled, I would have changed my response with Reus, but I didn't complain because I cleared it with money.

"Eliza is so stiff... that's fine, she's also“ human ”and I love her!

"You treat me so much as you can talk about humans... well, okay. Come on, let's go. Now, you better check your surroundings.

"Leave it to me!

And I am not afraid of surprises. With that in mind, Sarah nodded with a smile.

Well, if you miss it next time, don't mess with it.

"Eh!? Hey, no! I'll make sure you don't skip rice!

While Reurus laughed, Sarah changed her expression and protested. Walking out with a deep smile to Sarah in a hurry, Eliza lined up next to her with a face that didn't fall into her heart.

"By the way, Reurus... somehow, I feel suddenly kind to Sarah..."

"... I just wanted to admit where I could admit it. Come on, let's go. Me and Sarah will be searching for you, but it's your power not to see the junior monsters coming, right?

"Uh-huh...."

Let's just walk down the street and change course when the soldiers get closer. With that in mind, Eliza walked with her neck tilted behind Reurus.
