A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Big worm... no, snake...?

Far away, Reurus murmured to the appearance of a giant monster suddenly appearing in the Valley Mine and the pitiful mountain.

I don't know the exact size because of the distance, but at least it is large enough to be captured even by the vision of the telescoping realus.

(... no, isn't it too big?

Reurus does not have poor vision. Rather, it would be much better than in the previous life, when vision was lost by electronic devices such as computers and televisions.

Still, the Valley mine, a few tens of kilometers away, can only be seen in the shape of a mountain - "Still” I can see that something huge is stupid.

"Wow... what is that? Corribo? Vanille is not my eye in terms of size!

Sarah has better eyesight than Reurus, frowning at the Valley Mine and the sweet mountains.

"Can you see?

"That doesn't look so good to me... but it's definitely bigger than the Colibo I knocked down the other day. I wonder how many days' worth of Reurus ingredients it will be...."

"Don't be ridiculous. As expected, eating all of this will take decades."

While beating each other lightly, Reurus can't stop the cold sweat from rising.

I can't feel the magic because of the distance, but the “something” is probably much bigger than Sarah's. Only the figure is big, and if you try to fight it, it may be a weed, but the size of the body is tied to the strength.

(It's okay because the abandoned city of Laval and the dwarf settlement have not been attacked...)

I found a giant monster, but I don't need to fight it. A distant monster may be the “true killer” of the Valley mine, but all that matters to Reurus is that the rumor that the dwarf is the killer is about to disappear.

(But let's just go in and find out.)

The current situation of soldiers patrolling the area around the "Lost Forest" is not favorable. But no matter what the purpose of the soldiers is, if there are so many monsters out there, they will turn back to town.

Let's go find out what the soldiers are up to.

"Yes! Oh, but what about Eliza?

"... now let's focus on weaponry. Besides, it's better to search for enemies and be quick."

While saying so, Reurus looks at Meer.

"I want Meer to alert the other dwarves. I don't think so... but it's not just that one."

Two of them came out with a giant scratch. It's no wonder more than two of those giant monsters showed up.

"Uh-huh. Okay... be careful.

"What, I'm just going to look at the soldier's movements lightly. Sarah is here, and I won't let her know."

While asking Meer to be alert to monster raids, Reurus begins to run down the mountain slope with a large sword borrowed from the dwarf. There was Sarah next to it, but because of the light outfit without weapons or armor, the Reurus was so fast that it was likely to be delayed.

Don't say anything from here, let's move on.

Okay! Let's just go where the soldiers are. "

The Lost Forest is wide and it takes time just to get out. I don't know how long it will take for the soldiers to get information on the huge monsters, but it won't be long before they do.

Based on that idea, Reurus ran straight through the Lost Forest. However, I felt the magic before running long enough to stop my feet.

Magic... a monster? At this busy time..... "

"... hey, Reurus. I thought of one thing...."

When Reurus pulled out the big sword on his back and stood up, Sarah said in a troubled voice.

I understand you want Eliza to focus on weaponization, but without Eliza, the monster will come by.

"... speaking of which, yes."

I recently lost sight of Eliza's constant familiarity with the situation. Without Eliza, the inferior monsters would never have avoided themselves.

The shade of grass swayed ahead of Reurus's gaze, thinking, "Should I still bring Eliza?"

Is it a low-level monster or an intermediate monster? Though I can see what is coming out of it, the magic that Reurus is feeling is very small.

And it was a giant rabbit with two horns on its forehead that appeared with a rattling sound.

"Shh!"

He stepped in with a lower voice than usual, and knocked the Dwarf sword into the horned rabbit. Horned rabbits use the corner of their forehead to penetrate in a straight line, and other means of attack scratch or bite.

Therefore, he stepped in from the front and shook down his great sword. That was the fastest and surest - the Horned Rabbit could not avoid the slash of Reurus and was slashed vertically on his face.

Reurus confirms that the Horn Rabbit is dead, and waves his sword and bloodshed.

"That's the weapon Dwarf made... so sharp."

And the first thing I thought about was the sharpness of the great sword in my hand. It is used for dwarf or a little smaller than the one used by Reurus until now, but the skull of the monster Horn Rabbit was also cut lightly.

It felt as if the fruit had been cut apart, so I mistook it for only the horny rabbit's epidermis. Nevertheless, in reality, the horny rabbit's skull was severed vertically, killing him with a single blow.

"But I don't have time, so I'll put the collection behind me....."

"What if the other monsters took it?

"I'm going to find out and make dinner for that monster... that's why this isn't the case right now. Hurry up... what happened to the searcher?"

It's in the woods, but Sarah should be able to feel the temperature of the monster. This time, Reurus first noticed the magic, but Sarah was much wider in the range of available enemies.

"I was looking for a human soldier....."

"... then I can't help it."

Sarah might want to focus on sensing human heat sources, as she can also find signs of monsters in the Reurus. The Reurus, who concluded so, said nothing further and rushed out again after seeing the horny rabbit's body spare a little.

--After all, the monster attacked me about four times until I passed through the Lost Forest.

Eliza's gratitude is getting on my nerves, hey

"It's the first time I've ever known you without me!

"It sounds like a dead wind, so stop... where are the soldiers?

A junior monster who has been “alienated” since he began to act with Eliza. Among them, Reurus, with three horny rabbits and about two giant turtles, checks the surrounding signs while slowing down his pace.

It took me about two hours to reach the outer edge of the Lost Forest because I stopped to engage the monster on the way. Still, the speed of movement itself is different compared to when Eliza was there, so it would be much faster to subtract the time spent fighting monsters.

"Hmm... that way? There's some kind of heat."

Okay. Watch your footsteps from here on out.

Sarah's heat signature tells us where the soldiers are. However, since we don't even know what kind of conversation the soldiers are having, Reurus wanted to get as close as possible to gather information.

(As expected, the information won't be passed on in about two hours....)

Unlike previous generations, the world today has very limited means of transmitting information. There may be as many pigeons as there are, but Reurus has never seen them.

(I may have such magic equipment... but I've never heard of it.)

Like Reurus and Sarah, there may be magical devices that can exchange information in a way like 'ideological calls'. In that case, we may already have information on the Valley mine.

Reurus stands at the forefront and walks as far as he can to kill the footsteps while checking the ground. Sarah followed him and cautioned him not to make noise by stepping on tree branches and the like by mistake.

That's enough to walk. As you walk through the Lost Forest according to Sarah's heat sensing, the number of trees gradually becomes sparse. I think we'll be getting closer to the streets through the Lost Forest.

How many soldiers are there?

"I'm getting a lot closer, so I can manage... yeah, about ten people? They're gathered in one place."

Sarah seems to have a rough idea of the number of soldiers nearby, either because she's getting closer to them. It appears to be gathered in one place.

"... I don't want to... pour..."

"That's right... here..."

As I killed the footsteps and gradually narrowed the distance while paying attention to the sound of breathing, I heard something to talk about. I don't think any soldiers can use magic because they don't feel magic.

In the case of wizards, the distance varies depending on the skill, but you can feel the magic of other wizards. If there was a wizard, I would have kept my distance, but nothing caught my eye on Reurus.

"Your Majesty... but... ufu..."

"But... you know... that's not true..."

Reurus looks in the direction of the soldiers while hiding in the shade of the woods. I will check the direction of the wind, but the reels are under the wind, so they won't even notice the smell.

The number of soldiers was about ten, as Sarah said, and apparently they were having a late lunch. Probably, but to some extent they were going to join us for lunch.

"I don't like to call soldiers from the neighboring territory because“ helpers ”are mostly... no matter how much the lord breathes..."

"Don't say that. The opponent is a dwarf. Some of them are comparable to the upper middle class, right? I agree that both the reinforcements and the helpers will be saved... well, I don't like that helper."

As Reurus narrowed his distance silently, he began to hear soldiers on the wind. Judging by his tone of voice, he seems to have a little bit of a foolishness when eating.

Except for the captain?

Apparently there is a “helper” outside the unit led by Collard. However, the soldiers' voices seeped with disgust and disdain.

"If you need help, you can be the adventurer I met earlier. You killed two big monsters, didn't you? Besides, even if you're an adventurer, if you're a spiritual guest, you can be trusted..."

"You're a Spirit... or a Dwarf? Isn't there a lot of spirituals in this forest?

Soldiers don't always seem to be watchful. There may be breaks, but some of the gestures are close to adventurers.

"I don't like that either. I don't know what the great man is thinking... but I can't get away from here until the“ doomed shitheads ”arrive... so why don't you replace them with Mr. Lewis?"

"Hey, idiot! Don't even think about it! You'll get caught for disrespect!

"Aren't we going to catch them....."

What I have heard so far is a very ordinary chat. The contents include things that are noisy and related to the Reurus, but at least there is no talk of the Valley mine.

Hey, Reurus. What kind of helper is that?

I just have a bad feeling about it... no matter how many soldiers ask me, I feel like I'm mixed up with something like Gilba-san's...

With the exception of Gilba, spirituals were a Reurus that had a huge impression compared to Gregorians, but they secretly wondered whether there were actually many militants.

(You think the Gregorians are involved? But do you invite Gregorians where there are a lot of spiritual soldiers? Whatever you think, you're going to kill each other....)

Reurus and Sarah listened to the soldiers for a while. The soldiers are having lunch watching the surroundings, but they are too far away to notice the Reurus.

Meanwhile, the soldiers finished their lunch and started patrolling around the Lost Forest again or parted with a few.

What are you going to do? Once back in the dwarf colony?

Or I'll lie down here... and the monster will come soon.

I got some information, but I couldn't hear what I wanted to hear. Still, if we don't begin to return to the dwarf settlement, we'll arrive at night.

I don't care! I don't know what the hard part is, and the Reurus has decided everything!

"I don't like difficult things either... but what heat source is approaching?

"Huh? Hmm... some monsters and some soldiers... that? I don't know!

Sarah tapped Reurus on the shoulder as she screamed in "Thought Call." When Reurus looked at it, he saw a bird-like creature flying in the sky.

A monster? I hate flying people because they shoot magic in the wind.... "

Yakitori tonight! Including what we've got till we get here will make it gorgeous! Meat! It's just meat! And meat!

If they attack, we'll take them down. While thinking so, it was a realuse that grasped the handle of the great sword, but the birds circled as they screamed and descended towards the soldiers. Then the soldiers immediately rushed over and began to explore the bird's feet.

(... hmm? Maybe it's really a pigeon... no, it's big for a pigeon, but you're doing something like that?

A bird that flies in the sky will be faster than a fast horse. Since it can be moved by ignoring the terrain, it can be considered a convenient means of transmission if even the “destination” is known.

"Gather the other soldiers now! We're going back to Accra!

And then one of the soldiers, an old man, raised his voice. Apparently, it was the news of an emergency.

"'Castle Crash'! As soon as we get back to Accra, we're heading to the Valley Mine! Hurry up!"

"Where's the dwarf!?

"Leave me alone! The Castle Collapse is more dangerous!

Reurus, who was breathing and listening, unexpectedly looked at Sarah.

Castle Crash ? Sarah, you know what?

I am the Spirit of Fire. Of course... I'm sorry, I don't know. "

I didn't expect much, but Sarah doesn't seem to know. Reurus and Sarah nodded face to face and immediately turned their heels back.

The required information was obtained. All we have to do is go back to the dwarf settlement and find out more about the future.
