A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Early morning a week after leaving the abandoned city of Laval.

Reus noticed the walls at the end of the street and exhaled relief. It is the walls of Tyrier, a town to the west from the abandoned city of Laval.

It was scheduled to arrive in five days, but it was a little over the whole day.

The reason was because I was careful not to run into soldiers on the street. Of course, monsters and bandits were also on alert, but more attention was paid to soldiers patrolling the streets.

Even though there is a "Guest ID", when soldiers stop me, I eat time. I called in soldiers because there was “cleaning up” when I was engaged with a bandit group, but unlike when Gilba traveled with me, it was going to take time and money.

For this reason, Reus explored who approached by his own intuition and Sarah's heat sensing, and avoided it if something caught him.

As a result, the itinerary went crazy, but the pace of the revus, which had only traveled once, was also sweet.

(Gilba was really used to traveling.....)

Though I think so, I am relieved to be able to reach Tillier safely, even though it was later than planned. Regarding food, occasionally Reurus was hunting monsters away from Eliza and Sarah, but the water was running out.

Every time I found a source of water, such as spring water, I took a break to refill the leather bottle with water, but even after the summer, it was so hot that I scratched my sweat. With Sarah, it was easy to light the fire, and it was easy to burn the monsters that had been caught, but not just water.

"I have a crazy schedule, but I've arrived at Tillier for now... I'm going to take a day off today. I'm leaving tomorrow morning."

"Ah! I've come so far, let's go sightseeing! I was going to say... but I'm going to weigh myself."

Reurus and Sarah looked at each other and looked at Eliza. After leaving Laval Waste City for about three days, he was fine, but his number gradually decreased, and now he is silently following.

I guess it's just fatigue. Though "Enhancements" can now be used, I am not used to them enough to use them all the time. Regarding the luggage, Reurus and Sarah were taking turns and were careful not to put too much fatigue on Eliza.

Come on, Eliza.

"... hmm"

I answered the call, but I didn't feel well from the tone of voice. Reus frowned at the reaction, but said nothing further and headed for the gates of Tyrier.

Tillier, like Laval and Madalo, is a fortified city surrounded by high walls. There is a moat next to the castle wall, and even if "fortification" can be used, it will not be possible to jump over at once.

However, unlike Laval and Madalo, there is no abandoned city nearby, according to Gilba. Because there is a border with Bersel nearby and there is a danger of being “used” when attacked differently from monsters.

(But there aren't many soldier patrols near the border...)

Reurus walked down the street with vigilance, but he often asked if he would meet a group of soldiers once a day. When I realized it, I got off the street and avoided a group of soldiers, but I only found a small unit of about twenty to thirty.

The closer you get to the border, the more soldiers may come and go, but do you think it's because it's somewhat far from the border or because Bersel won't invade?

(Well, it's none of my business.)

It makes no sense to think of a struggle between nations, and soldiers are going to avoid it as much as possible. Instead of thinking about it now, we should have focused on getting into the first “normal” town in the world.

Reurus covers the big sword with cloth, ties it with a string, and then encloses it in the backpack. I thought it would be somehow blamed if we were able to use the weapon immediately.

"Stop!"

Approaching Tillier's castle gate, soldiers with spears rush in. Reurus stopped his feet honestly and waited for the soldiers as he retrieved Zilba's letter.

"Who are you?

I don't point my spear at it, but it has a pungent atmosphere. However, I can only feel the breeze from the Reurus that confronted Fire Dragon Vanille from the front about a month ago.

"This is Reurus, a junior adventurer from the abandoned city of Laval. At the request of the Spirit Gilba, I have come to deliver a offering to the Church of Tyrier. These are my people, Eliza and Sarah."

While saying that, Reurus presents a letter from Gilba showing the "Guest ID". Soldiers quickly look at each other and receive a letter from Reurus to change the inside.

"I see, Spiritual Guests... and Zilba will guarantee their identity,"

Among the soldiers, an elderly man mutters and returns a letter to Reurus. Until then, the harsh atmosphere that had been released also disappeared, switching to the signs of observing the Reurus and the others.

"You said you were an adventurer, but can you use magic?

"It's about 'strengthening'. Do you have permission to enter the city?

Since it is responsible for protecting the castle gate, there is no alarm in the eyes of soldiers. The elderly soldier nodded whether Zilba's letter and the "Guest Proof" were still valid.

"I'll give you permission. But you've already paid the toll tax on your security deposit anyway? How many days do you plan to stay?

"I'm leaving tomorrow because I'm delivering a gift to Accra... how much?

Maybe we'll need a bribe again. While thinking about that, it was a revulsion that reminded me of how much it was in my wallet, but the elderly soldiers looked at each of the revulsions' faces and opened their mouths.

"Staying a day... one silver coin per person."

(One silver coin for the toll tax... I don't know if it's cheap or expensive. No, it's a reasonable amount considering the adventurers don't want to go into town...?

I don't know the price because I'm in town for the first time. However, the soldiers in front of them seemed faithful to their duties, and Reus honestly paid three silver coins. Then they give you something made of wooden planks and crude strings.

"It's a residence permit. If you change your schedule and extend your stay, come to this gate again. As long as you leave town in one day as planned, you may leave any gate. I'll collect this permit when I leave."

"I see... I see."

Reurus nodded while thinking that he was well guided.

"Keep that permit down from your neck. Anyway, if you're not in the inn, the soldiers will catch you if you're not in town. And you know what happens if you run wild?

Apparently, even if you put it in the town, it's not treated well. Reus nodded again and dived through Tillier's gates.

"Oh... is this in town?"

It wasn't like diving through the gates was a different world-and Reus looked around interestingly at the fortified city where he stepped in for the first time.

The first thing I saw was a well-paved ground. Whether a carriage passes or not, the road is covered with cobblestones, and the feeling conveyed over the shoes is solid and hard.

Looking at the building, it seems to be made of stone and brick, and it seems to be overall sturdy compared to the abandoned city of Laval, where wooden and earthen walls are prominent. As expected, there is no window glass, but even the wooden windows fitted into the window frame appear to be in good condition.

Many people cross the road early in the morning. The clothes worn are also different from the people in the Reurus Waste City, and the quality of the fabric itself is different.

I didn't know whether it was cotton, silk, wool, or any other type of fabric for the reuse that I wasn't familiar with, but at least I don't think my eyes are coarse linen.

"... let's go to church for now"

I would like to observe the surroundings like an "old man”, but time is limited.

While diving through the gate, I asked the soldiers where the church was, but they could tell by walking straight through the gate. Believing in those words, Reurus and the others walked out - feeling the gaze from their surroundings.

It's a disgusting gaze to say that a foreign object has entered the town. The woman with the children immediately walks away from the reals, and the younger woman sees the reals and begins to return to the path where she turned her heel.

The big sword is covered with cloth, and the dagger is pointing behind the waist, so you wouldn't expect to have a weapon in sight. Still, you can see at a glance that the “fur” is different, and the town residents turn to vigilance.

(Ah... speaking of which, this was the first time I entered Laval Waste Town.)

Reurus took the sight of his surroundings with nostalgia. And walking out without seeing what they cared about, the city residents frowned and walked away.

Rather than giving way, it was a move that made me feel willing to leave this place quickly.

"... I don't know, I feel bad. The abandoned city of Laval is 10,000 times easier to spend."

Well, even if you're an adventurer apprentice, Jilba is guaranteeing your identity, and you're being treated like a family member of mine. “Our town” is like this if it's for the leftovers... by the way, can you use this magic, Eliza?

I feel guilty that Eliza is the only one who keeps quiet.

Nh... I'm sorry. You can talk to me one-on-one, but talking to Reurus and Eliza alone is a little... I'm not that good at this magic. Because you and I have a "contract", it's simple... "

So you think Eliza and I can use the contract connection? Hey, Eliza. Can you hear me? "

I waved to Eliza for the time being, but she didn't respond. I turned my eyes, but I didn't notice the call from Reurus.

Eliza was walking with her gaze fixed to her feet because she didn't like the gaze from her surroundings. Reurus noticed it, thought slightly before stopping, fishing the backpack and taking out the thin cloth used for the bedding.

"... Reurus? What's the matter... ufu"

Weave a thin cloth the size of which is only used for bedding like a jacket and put Eliza in it. And as he lifted the backpack to his left shoulder, he walked out with his right hand on Eliza's head.

"Come on, let's get to church. Sleep tight all night and leave at once. You're okay with the church Mr. Gilba introduced you to, right?

"Uh-huh... that's right."

The thin cloth blocked her sight, so she returned to Eliza's voice a little bit. Then Sarah noticed it, pointing her lips in protest.

"Ah, it's sloppy! Hey, Reurus, let me in!

I can't because it's small.

Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Even though she said she was dissatisfied with the "Call to Thought", it seems that she intends to settle for it this time. Reurus raised Sarah's reputation slightly, wondering if there was a sort of silent distinction.

"Ah...."

"Hmm? What's wrong?

As she walked like that, Eliza shouted out in surprise. Reurus, caught in the voice, looks at it, and there is a shop there.

There was a sign on the front of the shop, with some kind of lettering engraved on it, but I couldn't read the revus.

"What? A restaurant?"

"It's not just about eating, it's about... the bathhouse. It's not a public bath."

"Hmm... a public bath?"

Does a public bath mean that unlike a bathhouse in Laval Waste City, there is a proper hot tub?

In the journey to this point, although there was a drinking water field, it was not enough to take a bath. I want to wipe my body with sophisticated hand wipes, and if I take a bath, I want to go in.

"Would you like to stop by?

"... is that okay?

"Oh, I don't mind if it's a little expensive."

If you take a bath, Eliza will be able to change her mood. In that case, some scattering is acceptable.

That's why I stepped foot in the bathhouse.

"You people outside... are adventurers, too? Adventurers are not allowed to bathe. Get out of here."

The customer refused to enter the store. Even wild dogs and vagrants don't have the mood to drive them away.

From the perspective of Reurus who knew Japan in Heisei, it was a serious attitude in the customer business. But this is not Japan. For this reason, I put it on my cheeks slightly and put the bathhouse behind me.

(I'm sure your body is dirty... but isn't it the bathhouse that drops that dirt?

Compared to the residents of the town, the dirt is so bad that I don't want to take a bath. Although Reurus thinks so, blue muscles are likely to appear in his temples.

Still, I can't pull out my sword and let it go wild. Reus calmed down his depressed Eliza and angry Sarah, and quickly headed to Tillier's church.

And the next day, Reus, who had left Tillier early, was trying to implement one idea.

While aiming for the next destination, Accra, focus more attention and check the surroundings.

"Hey, I'm scared of my eyes...."

The church grandfather says there's a river between Tyrier and Accra... let's go there.

There were spirituals in Tillier's church that should be appreciated even with the old priest, but he was happy to show me the "proof of the guests" and welcomed me.

By renting overnight accommodation, Reus also donated about five silver coins, but even after deducting them, he politely and kindly worked with the Reus.

I didn't get a good impression of Tillier's town, but I can tell from my heart that it was comfortable with the church. In addition, Reurus asked for information about the dwarf as well as the location of the nearby river.

Although the dwarf was empty, the river seems to be flowing away from the street on its way to Accra. The Tillier Spirits didn't know where they were, but they could tell by the sound if they passed by.

"Do you take a bath in the river?

It's true, but it's not. I mean, Sarah, I need your help. "

Yes? Huh? What am I supposed to do? It's not dangerous?

Sarah asks with a slightly pulled back voice. Reurus laughs at Sarah.

It's not dangerous. I'm counting on you to help me. "

"I can't help it! I can't help it! I can't help it!

Are you upset? Sarah's words are suspicious. Regardless of that, Reurus checked the surroundings while searching for the enemy.

"So?" So? What am I supposed to do?

"What, it's easy?"

Reurus laughs deeply at Sarah, asking her in excitement.

"It's just a simple job to get into the water and turn it into hot water... I hope, Spirit of Fire?

I am treated like firewood that boils the bath!?

If you don't want to take a bath, make it yourself.

When I found the river, I decided to ask Sarah to make an instant bath.
