A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

It can be called midnight.

Reurus awakened to looseness and the sensation of shaking his body.

"... hmm?

The place is your home room, but even though you're not camping, Reurus will soon wake up. While reflexively gripping the handle of the dagger that had not let go even when sleeping, Reus turned his gaze to the opponent who woke him up.

"Reurus....."

But I look at the person who woke me up and let go of the dagger handle. It was Eliza in her bedclothes who caused the revulsion, shaking her body with a shy face.

His face was stained with vermilion, and it looked like he was crawling at night from the side - but it wasn't such a colorful thing.

"Reurus, let's see...."

"Yes, the toilet. That's why I told you not to drink water before you went to bed.

"Uh-huh.“

Reurus woke up surprisingly, and Eliza glowed her expression with joy.

The reason why Eliza had a revulsion is very simple. I'm afraid to go to the bathroom alone in the middle of the night - that's all.

(What if the bloodsuckers are afraid of the night... no, because they're not vampires, are they normal?

Even though I don't feel like I'm too young given my age, Reurus doesn't complain. They didn't wake her up every day, and they didn't want to make fun of Eliza, who was so embarrassed.

I don't wear any sleeping clothes when I go to bed with Reurus. As expected, the type of protective equipment is removed, but I usually wear it so that I can move even when I sleep.

Sometimes in the abandoned city of Laval, Reurus equips only the dagger behind his waist. A dagger made of dwarf is a powerful weapon against its shortness. A dagger would be more useful in a narrow place.

Reurus wears shoes that were placed beside the bed and takes a thin cloth instead of a futon. And when Eliza was invited, she covered herself with cloth.

It's late summer and autumn is getting stronger. Morning and evening temperatures are also falling, so it will be cold to go out in your bedtime clothes.

"It's good to be here to wake you up, but you should get your jacket ready. It's about to get colder, so don't let the girls cool you down."

"Ah, thank you...."

Thinking so, should I buy futon types as well? Reurus looks at the table with such thoughts. What was there was a candle, but I put out the fire before I went to bed.

Nevertheless, Reurus quickly flies the candles with flint. There may be moonlight outside, but it's better to have a light source.

Candles alone cause the wind to quickly extinguish the fire, so put the candle on a candlestick with a glass windshield.

"Here we go."

"Uh-huh...."

And as soon as I was ready, I left the room.

Sometimes it's midnight and the house is dark. When I heard the sound of walking in the hallway, I heard a snoring thought to belong to Sarah.

"Ngogogo... shupi... nnh"

(Even the spirit scratches the snoring... is it really okay for him not to sleep?

When I made the Red Sword, I should have stayed awake and kept the furnace on fire. If Sarah tells me, I don't have to go to bed, but I feel better when I go to bed.

In contrast to Sarah, there is no sound or voice in Meer's room. Nevertheless, he didn't feel like checking until his ears were clear, and Reurus went down the stairs carefully to avoid making footsteps as much as possible.

The toilet is the destination, but there is no toilet in Reurus' house. On the contrary, if you look around the abandoned city of Laval, no one will own a toilet by themselves.

Of course, when it comes to toilets, there is not something like the one I used in my previous life. There is no pottery or plastic toilet, and there is no mechanism for water to flow if the lever is pulled.

Reurus and the others are heading for the so-called public toilet. There are public toilets all over the abandoned city of Laval, and they are also located near Reurus' house.

(Compared to Chenna Village, it's a surprising disparity... because there's a toilet even though it's a public toilet)

Born and raised in the rural village of Shena, Reurus didn't even have a public toilet. It is basically either added to the bushes around it or added to the nearby stream.

But Laval Waste City is different. Public toilets are well maintained and can be used there.

Reurus walks ahead of Eliza as she lights her feet with candle lights in her hand.

You can walk out of the house for a minute and you'll see the public toilet, but sometimes it's midnight and your vision is dark. In Japan in the previous life, there would have been places bright with street lights even in the middle of the night, but there were no street lights in the abandoned city of Laval.

Tonight there was no moon, and the darkness was so deep that I couldn't even see my feet without the candle lights. It was dark that Eliza couldn't go to the bathroom by herself.

"Reurus..."

Speaking of Eliza, she grabbed the bottom of Reurus' clothes and didn't let go. I'd like to pull my hand as a revulsion, but my left hand is blocked with candles. If I don't keep my right hand open, I won't be able to deal with it when something happens.

"You're almost there... don't leak it.

But I won't leak it anymore

Because it's midnight, Eliza shows off a clever imitation of yelling as she lurks. Reurus stepped forward laughing at it and soon arrived in the public toilet.

"Here, take the candles. Watch your step. If it falls into a hole, it won't be stylish."

"I know... but you can't go home?

"I'm not going home. I'm not going home. I'll do my best."

Are you getting used to the darkness, or can you walk without candles? That's why I decided to add a small amount of reuse.

"Ah, yeah... but, um... my ears are blocked..."

"It seems difficult to pee with your ears closed..."

We will do the best we can, but if we can't, we have to give up. With that in mind, Reurus leans toward the men's public toilet.

I think of public toilets and reuses, but their appearance is poor. It is made of earth walls and wooden roofs, so there is no external gaze, but the entrance only has objects like curtains.

Reurus rolled over the curtain and stepped inside, and a unique smell similar to ammonia appeared. However, the smell is not something that bothers Reurus, who usually wages a bloody battle.

The public toilet is about twenty tatami mats wide, but dozens to hundreds of people in the vicinity alone use the public toilet. Men's public toilets are still better off, but women's public toilets are heavily congested during time and circumstances.

(But no matter how many times you come...)

It is a revulsion that looks at the urinal with its hands on the pants, but there is no partition. In the case of poop, all you have to do is add it to the groove that you dig by the wall.

The groove depicted a slight inclination, and the structure was such that urine flowed through the groove as it was firmed. Water is also prepared to urinate, but not frequently because it is a waste of water.

And what a sewer the urine flowed to.

This is a surprise to Reurus, but there is a sewer dug underneath the abandoned city of Laval.

I don't know if Reurus dug it with earth magic or manpower. Still, proper sewers are being dug to prevent contamination of groundwater and the like.

Reurus also learned later when he came to the abandoned city of Laval, but it seems that there are sewers in Laval and elsewhere. The sewer in the abandoned city of Laval merges with the sewer on the Laval side, which flows into the stream and leads to a distant river.

I don't even know when Reurus was built. Still, it seems to be flushing water and washing away dirt every day to avoid contamination of the surrounding soil.

(Uh... what is it? It's like there was a sewer system in some country from B.C. in the last life... much later?

I think I've heard such stories before, but Reurus ends up adding more. And I just peeked into the toilet bowl.

This one is actually partitioned with a wooden board, but it's still just a hole in the toilet that's called a toilet bowl. It was in the form of a potato toilet, which was commonly called a potato toilet, and it had a system where dirt fell directly into the sewer.

There is no deep reason why Reurus peeked into the toilet bowl. Occasionally, people who are drunk or have small children fall, so people who use public toilets mostly check to see if anyone has fallen into the "hole”.

(But, the hygiene is bad and there is a plague... it seems like there is little danger.)

If someone falls into the hole, a rescue play involving the surrounding residents will be carried out. Reurus has never fallen, but it seems that someone falls about once every six months.

This public toilet is located here and there in the waste town of Laval, and although we don't know the exact number of reuses, it should be close to twenty.

Regardless of the “waste town”, there are many things I would like to say about the reuse where these facilities are developed. But the tax destinations that I've been worried about for a long time will be the ultimate.

(Something connected to the sewers in Laval... well, it doesn't matter if it's harmless to me.)

Wash your hands with water from a bucket placed next to the entrance, and Reurus leaves the public toilet behind.

(But... this is troublesome. I'd like to set up a toilet in the house, but I don't go out often for us....)

You can't build a toilet that's directly connected to the sewer, but you can put something like "trap.” If you build a room about double tatami mat size and install a bathroom there, you will be able to maintain a minimum style as a toilet.

But it is. Eliza disagreed. That was already quite the opposite. Her face turned bright red and she was completely opposed to crying.

(Surely it's a hassle to throw away the “contents”...)

Now that we have dwarfs, we might be able to build a toilet that connects directly to the sewers. However, making weapons, armor, building more houses, etc., was hard for me to ask you to make a toilet.

"Reursu... Reursu... Gugu, Reursu..."

Reurus was thinking a lot, but she heard Eliza's voice, so she stopped thinking. When I looked at her because she was called, Eliza was standing in front of a public toilet for women with tears in her eyes.

"... ah, I'm sorry. It was a little late thinking."

"I thought you left me..."

"Sorry... did you wash your hands properly? Then I'm going home."

"Mmm...."

Eliza nodded honestly. Reurus picks up the candles and walks out, followed by Eliza murmuring.

"I want to sleep with you when I get home..."

Reurus turned to the voice and saw Eliza with a bright red face illuminated by candle lights. As a result, the revulsion is unexpectedly blown out.

"Haha, sweetheart. Should I sing you a pageant song?

"Hmm? Can you sing?

"That's you... you can't sing."

I've already forgotten the "previous life" pageant song, but I don't even remember hearing it in this world. I didn't remember my parents listening to it when I was three years old.

"I can't sing babysitting songs, but I'll sleep with you."

"Heh, was it true!?

"Ahh... but from now on, you're going to the bathroom before you go to bed?

When Reus said so, Eliza blushed her face and swollen her cheeks. The Reurus who saw it laughed calmly.
