A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 100: The Exotic Traveler Part 1
"Good evening, may I have a word with you, please?
Snow shouts across the river, keeping it open for nearly 20 meters.
Snow is smiling and turning towards a familiar smile, and that smile relieves the alarm of the viewer. Reurus' first black hair in the world was semi-long, spreading bright, luminous air.
Judging from the appearance, it's probably the first half of teenage. She looked rather cute than beautiful, and the clothes she wore were also cute.
A clean white turtleneck jumper with a black mini flared skirt that stretches from waist to crotch. She also wears spats that cover her thighs, and her whole body depicts slow ups and downs that remind her of her age-appropriate development.
In contrast to such snow, Sin's dress was plain.
Wearing a black, decorative long-sleeved shirt and trousers, they are wearing easy-to-move leather shoes that stand next to a snow for an understatement.
However, in addition to being nearly 180 cm tall, it does not seem plain to me that the body has been trained enough to be seen from above the clothes.
At first glance, it looks thin, but the fruit will be thoroughly forged out and there will be no extra fat. Although it is over clothing, it is fleshy and gives the impression of being tied together with wire.
Dark-haired and full-faced like Snow, the atmosphere is a mix of calm and toughness, as if it were a knight in a high position.
He is not wearing a visible weapon, such as a sword or spear, but he is holding a stick that is nearly two meters long. At first glance, it resembled a wand held by a wizard like Sharon, a senior adventurer, but the center of the wand was slightly thicker.
It was probably a weapon, a reuse to think in one corner of your head, but most of your thoughts are directed to “another place.”
"Um? Hello, oniisan? Is there something on our faces?
Reurus?
Snow and Eliza shouted strangely at Reurus, who would never move. Looking at Sin, he also looked surprised, watching what was happening and Reurus' behavior.
I met him this late in the evening in an unpopular forest. Although Reurus is not the steward, is it a little careless to travel in a small number of places in this world where monsters jump beams - or is it so strong that you don't have to be careful?
These two have slipped through Sarah's heat signature. It was slow to catch on to Reurus, because the magic of Sin and Snow was felt heterogeneously.
They don't wear armor like the Reurus, and all they see is a long stick of Thin. It's strange, but I think he's more of a wizard than I feel magic, and yet he's too lightweight.
…………
…………
While Eliza and Snow looked strange, Reurus and Singh muted silently. They are trying to recognize each other from their clothes and their standing behavior.
I can't afford to think it's rude. Sin didn't see any gaps even though he was just standing there. Even if the Reurus suddenly slashes, it seems like it will respond immediately.
--I didn't slash each other directly, but I felt the lack of clearance similar to that of Jilba.
Hey! What is it!? It's a mess!?
"... Shit? Which one is it?
Sarah screamed using the "Call of Thought" as Reurus hit Sin in the eye.
Snow is a girl! I don't know who it is, but something's gone wrong! I'm using Change, not just the way it looks!
――――
Listening to Sarah's words, Reurus said nothing.
I've heard about it before from Vaniel, the firedragon that lives in the volcano of Veos. Some high-ranking monsters use “advanced” auxiliary magic called "change" to turn into human form. I think those who can use 'change' are skilled.
"Hello? Aren't we supposed to talk about Komona and go abroad? Hey, Mr. Singh, is it weird to talk about my comona?
"... no, apparently it wasn't a good idea to speak out against indiscretion. I seem to have alerted you."
Snow leans her neck in trouble and Sin answers with a calm voice. And Sin stepped forward and lowered his head small.
"We have no hostile intentions. I just wanted to talk to you if you don't mind...."
"... no, I also reacted hypersensitively. Sorry, don't worry about it."
Until he realized that he was holding the handle of the Great Sword tightly, Reus relaxed his power from his right hand.
Regardless of the other party's sincerity, if you're not willing to be hostile, you're welcome as a Reurus. Rather than Snow, there is no future plan that Singh can win alone.
"Do you mind if I go there?
"... ahh"
Sin and Snow jump across the river when they release their hands from the handle of the Great Sword to show that they have no hostile intentions. The river was nearly ten meters wide, but Sin and Snow both jumped slightly in one jump.
Regardless of Snow, Sin lands without making a sound despite poor scaffolding. I didn't know what to do to make such a trick, but what does it mean to not see a gap while jumping and at the moment of landing?
"Again... Singh. I'm sorry to interrupt your camp."
"I am Snow Little. Call me Snow.
That's what Sin and Snow came out with their right hand. It is a more favorable and rational attitude than I thought in offering my dominant hand. Reurus shook hands while relieved inside.
"Hmm!?
The moment I held Snow's right hand, a chill ran through my body.
Probably hidden, but what Snow felt was intense and enormous magic. Not far from even Sarah, the Spirit of Fire, the amount of magic showed that the girl in front of her was not “human”, as Sarah said.
Thin also felt great magic, but not surprisingly. More than Eliza and less than Sarah, it's cute compared to Snow.
But Snow is different. The most unusual, unusual, and enormous magic Reurus has ever felt - perhaps even the Fire Dragon's Vanille.
The moment he realized “that”, Reurus thought of reflectively shaking Snow's right hand and running away from the scene.
This is not about winning. Even if Eliza and Sarah cooperated, they were killed without even a single blow. It was overwhelming magic enough to be intuitive.
"What? Oniisan, is there something on my face?
In contrast to the warring Reurus, Snow is cute and leaning her head. The expression is innocent, and there is no trace of hostility.
"... no, I've never seen black hair before. I'll apologize if you're upset."
“Disasters” beyond the vanilla take the form of a girl in front of her. Reurus felt a lot of sweat floating on his back that should have been washed away in the bath.
"Ehehe, you gave me your black hair. The hairstyle is similar to Oka-san's, but I like it too!"
(What kind of horrible monster are her parents...?
I'm sorry, but I can't help but think so. Snow's parents have more magic and force than Snow. Reurus murmured with his heart that he was not born from a normal human being.
"Hmm... I'm sorry to interrupt, but why are you here? As far as the luggage is concerned, the merchant and his escort?
"No, we're adventurers. As long as I'm lower intermediate, back... blonde is lower intermediate, red is apprentice."
"... not Eliza."
"I'm Sarah."
When Reus answered and Eliza and Sarah told him their names, Sin and Snow somehow looked at each other.
"Intermediate lower... what?
"An adventurer. You're not in Mr. Singh's country, are you?
There is little doubt that Sin and Snow were not born in this country. The costume is the same, but I feel uncomfortable speaking the Comona language. Rather than accents being different, there is a catch that the Japanese learn and speak English.
--Is it because of my mind that my clothes are so “modern”?
"'Adventurer'... may I ask what kind of profession it is?
"Hmm? I'm not saying... but is it a job to hunt monsters and get rewarded? And then we get a request... and we're on our way."
Something is wrong with Sin and Snow's reaction. Looking at each other, they communicate with each other in some way.
These two are talking on the Idea Call.
"Ahh... I feel the magic a little bit. It looks like this from the outside."
Apparently, Sin and Snow are sharing opinions on the Idea Call. Reurus and Sarah are also using "ideological calls", so it is mutual, but it is convenient to communicate opinions without speaking up.
"I'm sorry, I've never heard of Snow or me... is there such a profession on this continent?
"Ahh... hmm? This continent?
Reurus reacts quickly to words that cannot be missed.
"We crossed the ocean. I heard there is a country called Zipang in the east...."
Zipang?
It's a strangely familiar name. It is not a name I have heard in this world, but a name that stimulates the memory of the previous life.
Even if we put it aside, Sin and Snow apparently came from a different continent rather than a different country.
"This is a country called Mataroi. The name of the continent is... uh, the Caldivian continent? Eliza, do you know Zipang?
Reurus looked at Eliza as she said so. Eliza shook her head sideways with a strange face.
"I don't know a country called Zipang either. If you go east from this country, you'll be in La Paris or Berlido. Can we go further east from there?
Apparently, Eliza doesn't know either. It was a revulsion that originally looked at Sarah, but Sarah was just shrugging her shoulders.
"I see... it was a journey of no particular purpose. I was aiming for a country called Zipang as a goal."
"Ain't got no purpose?
Reurus wonders if it's a journey. But Reurus kept his mouth shut, wondering if he could point that out to the person he just met.
"If there's another purpose, I'd like to spread the word around the world... and practice."
(... that's a lie.)
Looks serious, but who travels with such vague motives in this world? With Snow, most difficulties seem to be solved by force moves, but the world will not be so complicated if it is cleared up alone.
But Sin, who thinks he's a liar, looks like a good man. I don't think so, but I don't feel “thorns” compared to Zilba.
As Reurus talks to Singh like that, Snow approaches Sarah with an intriguing look. Snow pointed her eyes at Sarah with sparkling eyes, like a "toddler", which were out of proportion to her appearance.
"By the way... maybe Sara-san is the Spirit?
When asked, Reus crawled his right hand to the handle of the Great Sword, which should have been released once. Not only Reurus, but Eliza and Sarah were on the lookout, each attempting to take on a combat posture.
"... if I were a spirit, what would I say?"
"Wow, I knew it! I thought so! My friends have spirits, too. I was talking about half a man and half a spirit, but that man is a spirit of the wind."
Snow clapped her hands happily, unaware of the vigilance of Reurus and the others.
"You can help me, and I'm really strong in battle! I can't win with you!
(... Snow's father is still a high-ranking monster? What kind of monster? Is there a demon king in this world?
What came to mind in Reurus was a demon king that appeared in the game. I think I'm sitting on the throne and flirting.
"Snow, keep it that way. I don't know what happened, but Sara-san seems to have hidden the spirit."
"What? Was that so? I'm sorry...."
Snow bows his head straight down when Sin licks. Looking at the exchange alone, it looks like a parent and child or a sibling, but Sin and Snow are not similar.
"I'm sorry. She's still a kid... if she's interested."
Following Snow with his head down, Sin also lowered his head. As far as the behavior was concerned, I still didn't look like a bad man.
At least I don't think I'm a Gregorian.
"Never mind. I just want to give you one piece of advice, but on this continent, you don't have to tell me what spirits are like.
"Hmm? Are you being persecuted?
"No, fanatics are coming from anywhere."
It was a Reurus that advised me in good faith, but neither Sin nor Snow seemed to understand. I don't know how to explain it as a revulsion, but I can't say anything else.
"Gregorianism... have you ever heard of it in the country where you two were?
"I don't think so. In the country where I lived, I was a king when I was a subject of faith."
"What is that... no, that's fine. Mr Singh and Mrs Snow don't seem to be bad people, so I'll tell you what, but if there's a guy named Gregorian, you should be careful. They're the kind of noisy people who take the lead in killing advanced monsters."
I wonder if it wasn't on other continents, but in the country where Sin and Snow were, it seems that the subject of faith is the king. I wanted to know what kind of country it was, but perhaps a king so good as to be faithful reigns.
"I see... let's be careful."
"Oh, and spiritualism is also a religion, but this is a religion that enshrines great spirits and spirits. As far as spiritualism is concerned... well, you can trust me."
Compared to Gregorianism, it seems good to believe.
Spiritualism, huh? Remember that. That's right.... "
Sin nodded many times after hearing Reurus' advice - for some reason he saw Reurus' great sword.
"Can you use a sword?
"... just in case"
Reurus has a slightly unpleasant feeling about Sin's eyes and questions. Still nodding back, Sin sparkled his eyes.
"Could you please meet me at dawn? I want to see the skill of the swordsmen of this continent."
--Apparently, it is true that he is traveling together with his training.
In response to the sudden request, Reurus pulled his cheeks.
