A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 131: Tell me! Dr. Gilba! Gregotian Edition

The air in the room certainly changed. Feeling it, Reurus does not disturb, and takes the glass placed on the table and drinks water.

"Hmm... do you want to ask me about Gregorianism..."

"Yes. Instead, there's no one in this town who can hear anything but Mr. Gilba.

"Mm... that's right."

You don't like it because it's called Gregorianism, but Zilba's mood is dropping sharply. Still, when I heard Reurus' words, I coughed up and put my expression back on.

"So? What do you want to hear about those ruined shits? Yeah, I don't even know how to eradicate it. I'd rather know."

"It feels like a black bug in the kitchen... No, I've heard a lot about spiritualism, and I want to hear about Gregorianism. Actually, on my last trip....."

As always, Gregorianism is a radical Gilba, but Reurus got used to it as soon as possible. So I'm going to talk about when I went west of Mataroi looking for Dwarves.

Among other things, Reurus was concerned about the spread of rumors about dwarfs in the town of Accra. There were rumors about dwarfs that would not have been known to “ordinary” residents.

"... hmm. It was Dwarf who broke down the tunnel in the Valley mine... and there was such a rumor."

"Yes. I didn't have a chance to fight monsters, but it caught me that ordinary residents were gossiping about Dwarves. Of course, there are lines of rumors coming from soldiers and miners... about Eliza."

This time, there was not only a giant worm, but also a “killer" dressed as "castle collapse". Otherwise, the dwarves would have been targeted.

Neither does Reurus know why such rumors were spreading. Still, I was more likely to have been caught up in trouble than fighting the Castle Collapse.

"Of course, it's very likely that the Gregorians were involved. If we were unlucky, we might have gotten together with the Gregorians." The castle collapsed "seems to have appeared, but is it good luck or bad luck..."

"I think the rumors about the dwarf have disappeared completely, and I think I'm lucky. I'd be dead if I didn't have a new weapon."

Perhaps you didn't have to meet the Gregorians at the edge of the road. If so, it would have been correct to defeat the "Castle Collapse" and retreat immediately.

"Well, that's what happened. I don't want to get involved with the Gregorians as much as possible, but even if I don't want to get involved, there are traces like this...."

"In the case of Mr. Reurus, we have a 'contract' with Sarah. I'm glad we officially signed the" contract ", but if you know about that dust (garbage)... excuse me, could you do something about it?"

Reurus also nodded back to Zilba, who nodded convincingly.

(Know yourself... what? Anyway, no matter how much information we have...)

Spiritualism doctrines can be understood by Reurus, but Gregorianism is not a level of incomprehension. I have no idea what I want to do, and from a Reurus that was stabbed suddenly with a poison knife, it's like a terrorist.

"Well, let me tell you... but I don't know that much either."

"Huh? Really?

However, Zilba's response was somewhat unexpected. As Reurus tilted his neck, Gilba frowned with carelessness.

"Capturing the people at the end of the line and torturing them... no, even if we talk, we can hardly find out about the inside of Gregorianism. They have a strong horizontal connection, so they quickly find out when to send a detective, and in other countries, they are often connected to powerful people."

(Wow, I almost said this guy was tortured. Is that all right, clergyman... no, it's all right. Enemy)

Though I thought it was as radical as ever, I would do everything I could to find out what torture would be if there was someone in Laval Waste City. As much as Reurus himself was, I couldn't say anything about Gilba.

"When they become priests and priests, they have trouble catching them, but they don't hesitate to self-determination. There seems to be“ something ”behind the doctrine they share....."

"Mr. Gilba, I don't know... what kind of priest or priest is that? They used to call him a priest."

Indeed, the Gregorians who had been at war with Reurus were unaware that they could not escape and had decided to self-determination. I feel superstitious about that attitude, but I don't know what the hell I'm thinking.

When asked to obtain information, Zilba drinks water and opens her mouth.

"It's the rank of Gregorianism. Many ordinary believers believe just like Spiritualism, but many Gregorians hold the doctrine in their arms. It's a level that can be given to these people."

While saying so, Zilba flips the wooden plank that she wrote about the spiritual rank. Then the charcoal was slipped onto the plate surface, and four words were added.

But unlike spiritualism, I can't read it. It looked like a letter, not a number, and I didn't know how to read it.

"... I can't read it"

Normally Eliza has no trouble reading or writing, but she runs around with the orphans in the church garden. The cheers outside the room were fun and seemed to be playing innocently with Sarah and Meer.

"As far as I know, it's about the rank of Gregorianism. From the bottom, it says" Priest, Priest, Bishop, Archbishop. "

"From below... in other words, the priest I fought with before..."

Is it the second from the bottom? Reurus gripped his hands without knowing.

(The second person from below who couldn't defeat using "Caloric Liberation"... what kind of monster are bishops and archbishops? Or aren't you as good as a spiritual teacher?

The priests Reurus fought with had enough skill to be properly attacked, even though he used 'Caloric Liberation'.

Not only Eliza but also Sarah have signed a "contract," which is likely to be won now, but the problem is that there is not one person in the rank of priest, and there is a rank that seems to be more than a priest.

"There are worshippers who have not been given a rank below the altar, so they should be the third most accurate. And it's not uncommon for a priest or a priest to be given a rank, but there's a big difference in strength."

"Specifically?

"I will answer based on the strength of the opponent I have fought so far… whether the Priest can defeat the lower to intermediate monsters alone, or whether the Priest can defeat the intermediate to upper monsters alone…"

After hearing Gilba's explanation, Reurus felt his cheeks pulling. However, Zilba continues to talk despite such a revulsion.

"Even worshippers with no rank can defeat many monsters below the lower middle level alone."

"... you can defeat them“ alone ”without cooperating with your friends?

"Yes, it's only a comparison with the monsters the Gregorians are obsessed with, but I don't think it's too far off."

Reurus thought this was a big piece of information. And I wonder how many militants there are in Gregorianism.

(Alone... in my case, the "contract" with Eliza and Sarah has no support. How far can a monster go?

With Eliza and Sarah's "contract," two magic powers are flowing into the Reus. As a result, physical abilities have been 'strengthened' on their own, but what happens if 'it' disappears?

Even the big red sword, a new partner, is going to be difficult to swing freely without the "calorie release".

Because of the improved food situation, the pure physical abilities will have improved compared to when we were in Shena village and shortly after we arrived in Laval Waste City. I have experienced many battles and muscles. It is definitely stronger than before.

But...

(Without 'Calorie Release', what's the limit to that bear? If so, intermediate intermediate... intermediate superior... but when they ask me if I can beat "that hiccup"...)

There is a trump card called "Open Heat", but there is a time limit. If a monster like Hikuidori once fought against him, would he be able to defeat him before the time limit expires?

Now that there is a big red sword, it is likely to be defeated by a single hit. However, it seems difficult to hit that blow.

It's a serious revulsion, but Gilba drops more bombs while watching it.

"And more than a priest... I'm a bishop, but this is simple in a sense. I have defeated an advanced monster on my own… I have heard that it is the standard for becoming a bishop."

"... have you heard of it?

"That's what the bishop once said. As for the impression of the battle, it's not always wrong. By that time, the Bishops of Gregory were all the best."

Gilba's voice was so serious that it didn't seem like a lie or joke.

"Have you fought someone who can defeat advanced monsters alone?

"Yeah... the times are piecemeal, but we've had four engagements in the past. They were all tough opponents. Only two of them were able to take care of it, and the rest ended up in pain."

(... eh? Did you take down two men who could defeat an advanced monster on their own? Seriously....)

The strength of the bishop is also surprising, but Gilba is probably the one who said he took down two such bishops. Reurus draws his cheeks big, but Gilba creates a traffic surface.

"The same is true of priests and ministers, but there is also a difference in the strength of bishops. I suppose the two I was able to take down were the weakest of the bishops. The other two were seriously wounded and escaped."

"... can you defeat an advanced monster, Mr. Gilba?

"Let's just say it's up to you. I don't like giant monsters."

As far as Reurus is concerned, Zilba does not use weapons. I only saw him fighting with his bare hands.

"Gilba is a weapon....."

Mr. Reurus

Wouldn't it be stronger if we used weapons? So Reurus asked, and Gilba smiled nicely.

"It's enough bare hands to kill those bastards."

"Ah, yes...."

Surely it would be good to fight Zilba with bare hands.

None of Reurus knew what technique to use, but he ignored the thick skin and skin of the monster and ruptured his internal organs just by tapping into the soles of his palms. If humans were opponents, even if they were wearing armor, they would be killed with a single blow over their armor.

"Well, it's a joke to say that bare hands are enough, but I'm clumsy. It wasn't the right way to fight with weapons. I mean, I just didn't have a choice other than bare hands... no, I'm embarrassed."

(It seems strange to defeat an opponent with a weapon with bare hands... in a world of magic. Isn't that strange? No, but “that blow” is like a technique... eh?

Gilba scratches her cheeks to see if she feels ashamed as she says, but Reurus was in deep confusion. Even in my previous life, I lived far from martial arts and martial arts, but I still found it very difficult to defeat an armed opponent with bare hands.

It's true that rabbits and horns don't like giant monsters more than fighting with bare hands.

The "Castle Collapse" that I fought the other day was also an easy match for Reurus, who got the big red sword. But even if Zilba can fight with bare hands, it's going to take time.

(I wonder if this is compatible... no, in the case of Gilba, it seems like she would normally be killed in one shot.)

Gilba hit and killed the incoming "castle collapse" from the front, but she quickly shaken it off. And Reurus encourages the continuation of the story.

"Is the presence of an archbishop above the bishop stronger than the bishop?

I wonder if I can defeat the most advanced monster on my own. If such a person were in Gregorian religion, it would be easy to destroy a small country.

"The Archbishop is going to be an old bishop… I'm sure he's often inferior to the bishop in combat, but he's involved in running the Gregorian Church instead. When I was on a journey, I heard that the Gregorians named Archbishop were near the center of the country."

"Isn't that a bad idea?

I think it's a joke from Reurus, because a religious town is devouring the center of the country.

"Whatever their doctrine, they probably have a lot of skill. Those who seek power, those who hate monsters, etc., are easy to gather... they are excellent in terms of force."

"That sounds like a useful thing to ask...."

If there is a powerful monster, but you don't have the power to crush it, there will be a reliable side to it.

I don't want to affirm Gregorianism as a revus that has been attacked, but I have people who can hunt advanced monsters alone. If the monster attacked me and killed me, it's no wonder I asked for help.

"Soldiers from all over the country and all over the world are not all-powerful. Watch out for other countries and territories, guard streets, crush bandits and monsters... and you can't get around."

"I'll count on you if there's a good force group out there. I see, it's troublesome."

Reurus is already hostile, so we're not going to rely on him, but if we're saved by a trap, it's no surprise that someone comes in.

(It's a religion that seems to have more followers than I thought... from the rescued side, it's the god of salvation, and I know how to get closer to the center of the country)

It is fundamentally different from spiritualism, where the great spirits are the first to give thanks to the spirits and feed their daily lives.

Some spirituals maintain law and order like Zilba, but Zilba is probably only a minority. If there are a lot of people like Gilba, their impression of Spiritualism is likely to change.

"Just rumors of dwarfs in Mr. Reurus's story... that this might have served as a stepping stone to Mataroi as well as an exam for the priest to be promoted to bishop."

"Spiritualism is more widespread in Mataroi, isn't it?

"Yes, but multiple dwarves… this time, nearly fifty dwarves would be more advanced. By defeating it, we can think of it as selling thanks to the lord of the land, but also as a priest's exam."

It's just Zilba's guess, but it's a man who's been fighting Gregorians ever since. Although I don't think it's beating through the middle of expectations, Reurus wondered if it fits somewhat.

"I'll look into this as well. Spirit teachers and spirituals everywhere should also be alert. I'll let you know when I get something."

I don't really want to be involved in religion anymore.

After formally signing the "contract" with Sarah, we should establish a friendly relationship with Spiritualism.

Now that the bishop heard that all the monsters were alive, it was a Reurus who still thought so.
