A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

What Reurus thinks is not so complicated. Rather, it is an extremely simple proposal that anyone would have chosen if similar conditions were in place.

What we have is two giant worms, including the one we took out the other day. There are some parts that I have eaten the other day, but there will be no big problem because I have eaten them in a round cut.

It was cut off from the middle of the torso, so if you connect it, it looks like one remains. I was going to let go of the prey, which is very edible as a realuse, a little bit - I'm very sorry.

Reurus and the others moved to the Lost Forest, stopped at a relatively close distance to the street, and asked the dwarves to dig a hole in the ground. At the point where we encountered the giant worm, we were about an hour away from the dwarf settlement, so we decided not to discover it at all.

The Dwarves dig holes to make it easier for them to understand that giant worms have jumped out of the ground.

I don't know what caused the mine to collapse, but if there is a “real thing” called a giant worm, the soldiers will be convinced and pull back. That's what I was expecting.

"... so? How do we get soldiers out of here? You can't even bother to speak up, can you?

Eliza asks, being careful not to let the dwarf fall into a hole in the ground that was pierced. It was decided that there would be no mood drag until something happened, and that we would need to check with Reurus about the future response.

"Let's have them find us. For now, if you're baking the meat, you'll come by. Look, when I first met Eliza, you were caught smelling the meat I was baking, right? It's a long way from home."

"No, that's meat, but it's blood... nothing. That's right, you can lure them in with the smell."

Eliza nodded as if she was throwing something. Next to Eliza, Sarah smiles and wriggles about what's fun.

Then it's my turn! I'll burn it! I'm going to bake you so much! It's going to cook!

"Oh, please. I may hand it over as evidence, and I want to eat it as much as I can."

The taste is not that great, but it is a lot. If you slice up the giant body that needs to be held together in a revulsion, it will fill your stomach.

However, the Reurus is not eating as well. Bite the meat of a giant worm from one end and chop it into your stomach. The more you eat, the more magical it becomes. In that case, you should eat as much as you can.

The outer skin is flexible and robust, but it is easy to cut the meat itself into pieces and bite a thousand pieces, whether it is because it is dead or because it is original.

"Er... Mr. Reurus? What should we do...."

"You're tired of digging holes, right? Do you want to eat before the soldiers come?

"I don't need it... I'd rather eat it with such a smile..."

As a thank you for setting the stage, Reurus offered the meat of giant worms, but the dwarves, including Meer, reacted badly.

The surroundings were full of holes and it seemed difficult to put them back together, but the dwarves also helped me if I could gently get rid of the group of soldiers.

Meanwhile, Reurus returns to the dwarfs' settlement and brings what he may need from his luggage.

As for the weapon, we could not find anything that could be used by the Reurus, so if it was necessary to engage, we were going to use a large sword that turned into a saw.

The sharpness is terrible and unsustainable, but the appearance alone will be vicious and intimidating. Since the dwarves are waiting away, in the worst case scenario, they will have to borrow the saucers used by Meer and others.

"I'm here. How many... hmm, a lot? I'm heading straight this way, so did you really notice the smell?

As she prepared herself, Sarah, who was searching for heat sources, shouted. The dwarfs retreated, but Reurus, Eliza, and Sarah remained on the spot.

"Is this really going to work...."

"Mhh, hahhh... this colibo? It's true that he was digging underground, and if he listened to me, he'd be convinced."

Reurus answers as he roasts the yakiniku of a giant worm. I thought it would be convincing if we talked in conjunction with “evidence.” However, it is difficult for you to listen to me.

"What if you don't listen to me?

"That's you...."

Sarah leans her neck and Reurus stops eating.

"I can't bother the abandoned city of Laval, and I can't abandon the dwarf who makes weapons for me. If you don't listen to me, get away from here, bypass the woods and return to the settlement."

For that reason, several of the dwarfs are waiting for Sarah's heat signature. It will be easy to rendezvous and return to the dwarf colony.

But if the soldiers don't listen and choose to destroy the dwarves...

"Ah, here it comes. It's pretty close."

"Say that sooner... okay, next meat"

Reurus asked Sarah, who was still having a conversation and was baking the meat of a giant worm, for the next part. Sarah laughs at her mood and presents the meat of a worm as big as a cushion.

"Come on, Reurus! You burned me, too. Eat it!

"Ooh... ah, just take the soil from my gut and I'll be fine. Soy sauce would be perfect."

What do you mean, "shoyu”?

Eliza has a strange face, but unfortunately I've never seen a seasoning like soy sauce as a realuse.

Perhaps it doesn't taste as good as the rice I ate in the abandoned city of Madalo, but I don't know unless I try it. But I also think it would be delicious if you put soy sauce on the meat of giant worms.

As the conversation progressed, the soldiers approached with footsteps. The first three soldiers to show up were in charge of the forward vigilance. Behind it is a group of soldiers, some of whom can feel the magic of Reurus.

"Hmm, who are you!?

"Dwarf... no, a human... a human-shaped monster?

"I don't suppose... you're not an advanced monster using Change, are you?

The vexatious soldiers turned their spears as they saw the Reurus. However, the spear tip shakes slightly as if it is upset because you are confused by the Reurus who are baking and eating giant worms in the forest.

(I feel like monsters are often mistaken these days....)

Even if it's a real monster, it's not funny as a revus, but the real revus is human. My parents, who were killed by monsters when I was three years old, were also human, and I had no recollection of being picked up from anywhere.

In the first place, rather than being a poor farmer, Leurus's parents couldn't afford to pick up abandoned children.

"... oh? Are you a soldier?

Hearing the upset voices of the soldiers, Reurus turned his attention to what he had just noticed. Until then, the meat of the giant worm, which had been bitten thousands of times, remained gripped with both hands.

"Thank you. I was lost in the rain the other day. Can you tell me which way the street was?

To show that there is no hostility, Reurus is poking his sword into the ground. What's in your hand is a giant worm meat that can't be a weapon.

Eliza is holding a cane, but cannot be treated as a weapon and cannot reach Sarah. If you don't have what's going to be a weapon, you should be able to de-alert.

"Don't move! Who are you!?

(Well... even though Gilba said that if you don't put your hands on the weapon, it usually works...)

What to do if you meet a soldier, as Zilba once taught you. It was a revulsion to put it into practice, but there was something wrong with the reaction.

(I didn't put my hands on the weapon or use magic to intimidate you... the worm in the back is dead, right?

I wonder if there is something to watch out for, and Reurus leans his neck inside. Nevertheless, Reurus decided to take the position of a soldier and objectively evaluate himself now.

Armed and deliberately entering the woods will not be the purpose of the road patrol. Then the goal is to destroy the dwarf, as we heard in the town of Accra.

Dwarves are intermediate monsters, and no matter how many soldiers are trained, they're not an easy target to fight. As I was walking through the woods watching out for such dwarfs, I encountered a group burning and eating giant worm monsters.

(I don't know how to look at them... they might be worse than Gregorians at first glance...)

Well, it makes sense to think it's a monster. Reurus decides that he is not so wrong and places the meat of a giant worm in both hands on the ground. The meat gets dirty from the soil, but if you sweep the soil and eat it later, it won't be a problem.

"I'm Reurus, a junior adventurer in the abandoned city of Laval. The two of them are the same adventurers, Eliza and Sarah... and they have ID cards, so please check them out."

Don't stand being stabbed with a spear trying to hand it over. Reus took the Explorer's registration card that was hanging from Eliza and Sarah's neck, removed his "Guest ID" and left it about five meters away from the soldiers.

The soldiers looked suspicious, but eventually one of them approached without hesitation as he watched the Reurus. Then he nodded after checking the registration certificates of Reus and the others.

"... I see, indeed. Intermediate, junior, middle, and apprenticeship? Why are they here? And this...!?

But I noticed the "Guest ID" and took a small breath. Reurus leans his neck at the reaction.

"Hey, what's up?

"What happened?

Two other soldiers shouted in suspicion, and the soldiers who checked the "Guest ID" looked back in a hurry.

"Get me Louis. And you... no, you said Reurus? Do you have any other I.D.?

"I have a letter from a spiritual Gilba....."

While saying so, Reurus retrieves the letter from Gilba from his pocket. They showed that they had a “role” in delivering the offering to the spiritual church, but as soon as Reurus handed over the letter, the soldiers began to check the contents.

"It's not good... it's real"

"What's going on?

One of the soldiers goes to the main unit, and the remaining soldier asks without interrupting his suspicions. As always, I held my spear, but I wondered if my colleague felt strange, and the tip was pointing to the ground.

"You weren't so familiar with Spiritualism... it was Lord Gilba who gave this adventurer the ID card. You know the name of" Imprisonment "?

"Jilba... you're crazy... no," that ”Jilba? Spirit number two?

It was a "Guest Proof" that wasn't very helpful before, but apparently there were some pious spirituals among the soldiers. The unexpected reaction can cause trouble as a revulsion.

(Gilba, what did you do... no, maybe this will make it easier for you to listen and think positively)

The soldiers who heard Zilba's name reacted similarly when they were heading to the abandoned city of Madalo. The point is whether or not a Spirit reacts differently depending on the soldier.

(So, you're the second-largest Spirit? And what did that soldier say? Today... what?

I felt like there was a "no thanks” nuance in it, but Reus closed his mouth because he was afraid to ask. I'd love to hear it back in the abandoned city of Laval, but you'd better keep quiet for now.

I got a report. What's all the fuss?

"Lord Lewis, Commander, what are you going to do before you leave...?

When Reurus was silent, two men approached to tell the story of the soldier who had just gone to the report.

One is a young man who looks older, though not so different from Reurus. With his white armor and spear, he deserves to be called a knight.

However, Reurus' consciousness was directed at another man. Unlike a knighted young man, the man looked like a thirtieth - familiar.

"You, from the streets... were you the adventurer Reurus?

He was the captain of the unit that handed over the bandits who attacked him shortly after he left the abandoned city of Laval.
