A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Phew... that was close."

While listening behind the sound of the ceiling collapsing, Reurus wipes the cold sweat flowing through his forehead. For now, the dwarves who felt the magic from nearby places were rescued.

However, there are some magic magic in deep underground places.

How many more?... hey, aren't there any more?

How do I rescue them from here on out? With that in mind, Reurus turned to the dwarves, and the number was increasing at a glance.

Nearly fifty dwarves, including rescued dwarves, have grown to fewer than thirty.

Women's dwarfs are scattered, but how did they appear here?

"There are entrances and exits everywhere in this mountain. He was safer inside than I thought. It sounds like he came out in a hurry... but there's only five of them out yet. We're going to rescue him now, but what about the Reurus?

"You built the path to the size of a dwarf, didn't you? I can't let it in....."

Regardless of the cave we rescued this time, if it's about the size of the small hole we found last night, we won't be able to put the revus in. Just stick your head in it and you'll be done.

"Ha ha ha ha! That's right! But well done! You're a good man! It sounds more like a monster than a human!

"That's why I'm human... well, let me rest for now. The magic is almost empty and I'm exhausted...."

"Oops! I already told the others about you guys! Take it easy!

The dwarfs shook their hands slightly painful as they pushed back the big rock and ran away with tools for excavation.

There are female dwarfs and males - not distinguishable from the appearance, but young dwarfs and sympathizers.

However, their eyes have no colour of enmity. There was a friendly atmosphere because I knew that Reurus and the others were rescuing.

(Woman dwarfs don't have beards....)

When I rescued the female dwarf earlier, my vision was poor, so I could not confirm her appearance. However, when I checked the female dwarves under the sun, it didn't look like a male dwarf was growing a beard.

However, is it common to the dwarf race? The female dwarf was also short and small. It doesn't seem to be as muscular as a male dwarf, and the stripped arms are feminine thin arms.

Is male dwarf roughly around 130 cm and female dwarf roughly 120 cm? By the standards of the previous life, they were probably about the height of elementary school students, but they or they were thought to be adults at that low height.

Reurus watched the female dwarf without being rude, but the opponent also noticed the gaze and approached with a footstep.

"You're a human being!

"That's not true! A monster who turned into a human being?

"Ha ha ha ha! Either way! Thank you for helping my people!

The women's dwarfs slapped Reurus on the back, laughing happily. However, the momentum to slap was strong, and it seemed like a stiff arm that did not match the thin arm.

"Eliza, Sarah, how are you?

While laughing back at the words of gratitude and stretchers coming from around him, Reurus calls out to the two people who are taking care of the injured near the well.

Regardless of Sarah, Eliza, as an adventurer, has a minimum of first aid. This area was taught by senior adventurers Nicolas and Sharon, and not only Eliza, but also Reurus can be treated easily.

However, Reurus had a "contract" with Eliza, which allowed him to heal himself with some scratches. Eliza has the same thing, and has little chance of actually treating others.

"It was buried in the dirt, but the dwarf seemed like a sturdy monster... and as soon as I drank the water, I got better. Some of them were injured, but not bruised."

"Suffocation was more dangerous than injury!

That said, Reurus looked around, but, as Eliza said, nobody seemed to be seriously injured. You should be impressed by the intermediate monster - the dwarf who built the house in the dirt.

"I have a backpack... In the meantime, let me wash my body."

I was scratching the dirt and sand and rescuing them. Due to yesterday's heavy rains, Reurus is covered in mud.

When the armor is removed, the barrel placed next to the well is thrown into the well girder. There was a rope tied to the barrel handle, but this was another strangely long rope.

"... that?

The barrel never reaches the surface, and Reurus peeks into the well. But it was dark in the well, tilting his neck and waiting for the bucket to reach the water.

(Rope... it's really long. About 50 meters?

Although it is basin-shaped, it is almost the summit of the mountain. I wondered if the water was deep enough - and so on, but the bucket finally got into the water.

Reurus draws water and pulls up the barrel quickly, then takes off his clothes and leaves a pair of underwear.

Underwear is an underwear made of zero chemical fiber and hemp cloth. Rubber or the like is not used, and it is about the size of shorts rather than pants. It's a primitive underwear just tied with strings to keep it from falling off, but even used clothing stores do two silver pieces per piece.

Reurus washes his face with water from the barrel and removes mud from his arms and feet. And wearing a change of clothes taken out of the backpack.

"... hmm? What is it, Eliza?

"Whatever!

I noticed Eliza's flickering gaze and asked if I needed anything. Eliza diverted herself from her bright red face, but still looked at her several times.

He was sold out of his native land as a mine slave, and has spent more than six months in the ruined city of Laval. In addition to the adventurers' lives to date, the body of Reurus is gradually muscularizing because of the impact of a significantly improved diet.

Not as musculoskeletal as Dominic, but the muscles of the Fighter are developing.

Reurus gets dressed in less than five minutes and drops his gaze on the armor he used to wear. The armor is also muddy and dirty, and will need to be serviced with vigour once.

Still, we don't need it right now. As she made that decision and roughly drowned, a female dwarf who had been under Eliza's care approached.

"Um...."

The dwarf is the woman Reurus rescued last. I don't know how old I am, but I don't think I am older than Reurus as far as my voice tone is concerned.

"Ah, that's the girl. Are you hurt?

"Uh-huh. The rock came down and bruised my feet... well, thank you for saving me!

Unlike the female dwarves who spoke to Reurus earlier, she seems to be quite polite. She waved her right hand even though she knew she couldn't see the revus on the female dwarf with her head down deep.

"Never mind. And raise your head, will you? A little girl like you... would be rude to say that. Just raise your head. It's hard to do if you lower your head to a child younger than my family."

I feel like I'm being apologized for by elementary school students. It was Reurus who actually saved my life, but when I was thanked for bending that little body, more wonder and regret came to mind than joy.

"... eh? Little... me?

If the male dwarf was the opponent, it would be easier to talk, but when Reurus thought, the female dwarf in front of him raised her head and looked strange.

The reaction was unexpected as a revulsion and looked as strange as a female dwarf.

The female dwarf in front of her - the girl dwarf is not as tall as the other dwarfs, given the height of her voice.

As far as I can tell, it's smaller than Eliza and Sarah, and it's about half a centimeter tall. It was impressive whether it was natural perm or habitual hair, and the short cut hair with brown hair was bouncing around.

Like the color of her hair, her brown eyes were rounded to say that she had heard incredible things, and Reurus, who had received the gaze, tilted her neck.

"It's smaller than my Eliza and Sarah... if they say it's not, I don't know what to say."

Indeed, she is taller than any other female dwarf. On the contrary, it may be the tallest, including male dwarves.

--But from Reurus, it's one or more smaller heads.

Although the girl's dwarf in front of her is cute, she looks more energetic than her\ 28290; face. I think I call myself "me," but I got a completely different impression compared to Sharon, who uses the same first-person name.

(... maybe you touched something forbidden about dwarfs? I get angry when I point out that I'm low...)

Reurus looks at the girl dwarf in front of him from head to toe.

I don't know how old I am, but when I looked closely, I felt that my face was somewhere young. Compared to the female dwarf who was laughing in Gaha earlier, she is still a child.

The clothes worn, like other dwarves, are made of linen cloth. Simplicity of wearing short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and leather shoes on the feet.

I don't know the age of the girl, but at least I don't think it's a toddler. Closer to home, such as around the chest and waist, there were more ups and downs than Eliza.

"Go!

As far as I could see, Eliza kicked me in the cheek. The pain was not so great, but Reurus looked at Eliza protesting.

"What is it, what's wrong?

"What, this is not our dialogue! Did you just think about something!? Didn't you think of something bad!?

Earlier, her face turned bright red, but now she has tearful eyes. Reurus put his hand on his chin and thought for a few seconds before turning to the girl's dwarf.

"What's your name and age?

"What? I'm Meer. You're 14 years old.

Hearing the girl's Dwarf Meer's reply, Reurus stroked Eliza's head with a gentle smile.

"... that's good."

"What's wrong!?

While avoiding another flying kick, Reus opened his mouth to Meer.

"Meer... meer? I have nothing to say about your height. [M] Rather, I'm a human being, and I'm cuter than Meer."

Around 120 centimeters tall, it would be better than laughing at an adult woman's voice - perhaps the comparison is worse.

In that regard, Meer's height is also “familiar” as a realuse. Given that Eliza is thirteen years old, some of the slow-growing ones are as tall as Meer.

Unlike Japan, which lived in the previous life, it is a world where it is not uncommon for people who were born without a meal on that day. Mia's height is not so unusual if she doesn't get the nutrition she needs.

(The female dwarves over there may just have too much impact...)

At least the woman who was laughing with Gahaha will be an adult.

As Reurus thought about it, Mea somehow began to lose sight.

"What? Huh? Me, me, that's the first time I've been told that... ah, don't mess with me! It doesn't suit me...."

…… Then let me call you Meer. "

Reurus that corrects how it is called while feeling something that does not fall into Meer's heart.

(taller than the average male dwarf... would a woman be more than 180 centimetres taller in human terms? If you think so, I'm convinced that you care....)

In my previous life, I might have been able to play sports that utilized high heights, but I've never heard of such sports in this world.

(If it bothers you, don't touch it....)

I don't care at all about Reurus, but if Meer cares, she won't dare touch it.

So I concluded - I felt the magic from the ground.

"Huh? What? Something's approaching..."

Magic slowly approaches through the ground under your feet. It wasn't directly beneath the Reus, but the magic was felt from the field, which was about 20 meters away from the well.

If you think about the giant worm earlier, or if you think about it slowly - while keeping Mea down, Reus grasps the handle of the Great Sword.

And after a few minutes, I made a noise - something came out of the ground.

――――

Suddenly, the rear of the hand that came out of the ground suddenly stunned with its true face. Hands grown from the ground move to explore the surroundings, gradually crawling out to the surface from your fingers to your wrists, wrists to your elbows.

(... are there monsters like zombies in this world?

If it's a zombie, let Sarah burn it out. Would it be perfect if I had my neck wrapped around it?

Thinking so, Reurus remembers that his magic amount was close to its limit. Using "Caloric Relief," he ran from the foot of the mountain with Eliza and Sarah, fighting giant worms and even rescuing the dwarves.

Most of the stored magic is consumed, and the remaining magic is about 10% to 20%.

If it was a monster other than Dwarf, it might be okay for Sarah to take care of it - the soil in the field rose hugely in front of Reurus's eyes.

"Bhaaaaaa! Oh, fuck you! I thought I was gonna die! I'm gonna meet some weirdo. My house is gonna crash. It's the worst day ever!

It was the dwarf we met last night that crawled out like a zombie.
