A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The Reurus brought the dwarves back to the Raval Waste City, but if they're in the Raval Waste City, they're going to put a lot of effort into the adventurer business.

Neither the journey to find dwarves nor the cost of weaponry and armor was so small. For that reason, there is also enough storage to play and live without working. But I can't play around just because I have money.

It would also be a plus for the abandoned city of Laval, but it was Reurus' personal convenience to travel in search of weapons. As an adventurer, as a member of the town, I had to work for my people.

For this reason, the Reurus, who has healed the tiredness of the journey, will soon be hired by the Adventurers Association. When it comes to requests, there are three choices: escort the farmer, monitor for monsters around the town, or freely kill monsters.

Recently, the number of monsters approaching Laval Waste City has also decreased, and it seems that even if they go out to exterminate monsters, they are often empty. For this reason, Reurus decided to escort the farmer.

Put on a new set of Dwarf gear, carry the red sword, and you're ready. Eliza has a special wand made by the dwarf, Sarah is useless because of her magic body, and Meer is wearing a tall razor and leather armor.

Meer is not an adventurer, but she is interested in the adventurer's work.

From Reurus, I don't feel like I have too much power. Most of the monsters around the abandoned city of Laval are inferior, with rare intermediate monsters.

The frequency was really rare, and there was no rumor that intermediate monsters had appeared nearby since I had previously encountered Kimira.

(Well, there are now nearly 50 “intermediate monsters” living in the nearby forest....)

In the woods south of the abandoned city of Laval, the dwarves brought by Reurus build temporary shelters. Instead of intermediate monsters, it was thought that there were no monsters who preferred to approach them because they were likely to hunt in groups.

However, it has never been more powerful. Agricultural work in the abandoned city of Laval includes retired groups of old people and adventurers who do not work as adventurers, as well as women and children.

Because of the need to cover the food in the abandoned city of Laval, the fields are vast and the number of people is commensurate. As a result, those who do not have a specific job in the abandoned city of Laval are mostly engaged in agricultural work, and it is very important to escort them.

Proceeding north from the abandoned city of Laval, the fields are expanding. The area is so large that it is harder to move as far as the back.

Beyond the streets to the east of Laval, fields continue to the north. Dozens of farm workers are not enough, and every day more than 100 people move around the big zone.

In the field, vegetables as well as wheat are grown as staple foods. Reurus doesn't know the type of wheat, only the vegetables that I've seen in my previous life.

They might be classified as leafy vegetables such as warm vegetables and root vegetables, but I didn't even know the name of vegetables that resemble tomatoes, vegetables that resemble carrots, or vegetables that resemble potatoes.

Around the field, there is a fence made of wood, whether it is to avoid monsters or to counteract small animals. It's a grid-shaped fence about a metre tall, but a slightly more powerful monster could easily destroy it. I might jump over before I break it.

However, even though the effect is suspicious, if there is a fence, farm workers can work in the field with a little peace of mind. Reurus Adventurers patrol the area around the field to prevent such farmers from being attacked by monsters, and if the monsters attack, it is their job to intercept them and protect them.

However, even though monsters are attacking, the area around the field is flat, unlike around the abandoned city of Laval. In the woods, it can be surprising, but in the flats, it's easy to spot monsters.

The monsters will not easily come out to the plains without shields, and the only thing we need to be alert to is the monsters flying in the sky.

Nearly half of the adventurers engaged in escorting agricultural workers are equipped with bows. This is part of a flying monster countermeasure, but if there is no shield on the flat land, it will be enough weapon for monsters running around the ground.

Occasionally, some monsters come out of the woods alone like a courageous attempt, but in that case, adventurers gather to shoot arrows and make it look like a halibut.

The season also seems to matter whether the monsters attack or not. In warm times, the forest is full of food, so it's big, but in winter, when food runs low, we start targeting field crops.

Compared to Japan, where Reurus once lived, the difference is small, but there are four seasons.

Compared to the four seasons in Japan, the temperature difference is small, and neither summer nor winter temperatures are severe enough to cause death. However, this was a reflection of Reurus, who spent time in the vicinity of the abandoned city of Laval, and the temperature might change dramatically if he went elsewhere.

Maybe it's just an “illusion” because it's a much stronger body than in previous life.

"The monsters will come out today....."

On her way to the field, Eliza murmured. However, if Eliza was nearby, the inferior monster wouldn't stop by. If you encounter a monster, it will be intermediate or higher.

So does Reurus, but Eliza wants a new weapon. Eliza's wand is a substitute for being able to perform lightning magic without "chanting," but she can also stab a monster with a stone jab and, conversely, play the role of a blunt object by knocking on the swollen tip.

I was anxious to deal with it roughly because it contained "treasure balls", but since the dwarf used refined iron, there was no problem swinging it around as a blunt instrument.

Rather than a wizard's wand, a magic stick (mace) that can replace a spear is more correct.

I would like to shake the red sword as a realuse, but in this request, the safety of farm workers is the top priority. It's best not to encounter monsters.

Walking in that way, we arrived at a huge field that stretched far away. And when they arrive, the Reurus adventurers begin to divide themselves into small pieces and continue through the fields.

The adventurers must keep the fields safe first, as there may be monsters lurking behind wheat and vegetables. Reurus left Eliza and Meer behind because of the need to ensure the safety of the farmers, of course.

Many adventurers participate in escorting agricultural workers, but few of them have the ability to search for enemies. No one can sense it with magic or heat like Reurus or Sarah.

For this reason, Reurus and Sarah take the lead, making sure there are no magic or heat sources. Other adventurers strive to visually verify, even in the corners of the field, just in case.

If you miss one of the inferior monsters, the Horn Rabbit, the farmer dies. Even the weakest monster around Laval Waste City, the Horn Rabbit, will pierce with a single blow if its leather armor is of poor quality. If you're an unprotected farmer, you'll die instantly.

"I don't have any magic..."

"There's no heat source either. If you miss it, everyone in the back will be in danger, and you'll have to be willing to explore!

While Reurus is holding the red sword, Sarah is walking next to such a Reurus for a conversation.

Reurus can sense the magic of the monster not so wide, but we won't miss it if we combine it with Sarah's heat source sensing. Some monsters have enough skill to hide their magic, but even monsters with that skill cannot hide their own heat.

However, there are exceptions to everything. As he walked through the fields, he saw a small reservoir pond for agricultural work, so Reurus slowed down and firmly grasped the great sword.

(There's no magic, but... there's nothing like a 'nuclear'.)

Farming requires a lot of water. As a result, although small, reservoirs are being built, Reurus, who once heard about the slime from Zilba, is the most nervous when looking inside the reservoir.

Gilba doesn't seem to know the conditions for the slime to occur, but it is likely that it will suddenly appear in a reservoir pond near Laval Waste City. Reurus thinks it's because of his bad luck so far.

We are encountering bloodsucking species, fire spirits, firedragons, dwarfs, and even 'castle collapse' and other creatures that would be unusual in this world. When I peeked into the reservoir pond, I saw the slime face to face, which is unlikely to happen - I don't think the slime has a face.

(But I don't know... when the shit floated in the reservoir pond before, I thought it was the slime's "core", so I was ready...)

The reservoir pond naturally does not accumulate water unless it is brought from other places. However, there are no rivers or lakes around, and it would be impossible to store the amount of water required for agricultural work with rainwater.

That's why they pull it from the nearby water-hungry moat of Laval.

Near the abandoned city of Laval is an empty moat, but it becomes a water moat when you go north of Laval to supply water to the farmland. However, the water is not beautiful, it is drained from Laval's domestic drainage and stored in the borehole.

Water is supplied from the borehole through the ditch to each reservoir pond on the farmland.

Of course, even if the water is not clean, it is different from the sewers in public toilets. We are “reusing” the domestic drainage that came out of Laval to those in Laval Waste City.

Yet the water used by the people of Laval is the clean water of the groundwater veins. I don't know if it's just around Laval or Mataroi as a whole, but there's plenty of groundwater.

I wondered how humans lived in places where there were no rivers and no water supplies, but apparently there was a huge water vein underground.

Just digging a little deeper into the ground will hit the water vein and overflow with plenty of water.

Perhaps the people who once lived on this land, like the sewers in the basement, made it "that way.”

Reurus has never been seen before, but there is water magic and earth magic in this world. It was also possible that people in the past imitated selling fights naturally, such as twisting the water pulse with advanced magic.

I don't know because Reurus has never been in Laval, but it is not strange that something like the water supply of the previous life is used in the walls of the castle, not wells.

(But I didn't find any water in Accra or anything....)

There is not only magic, but also a tool called magic equipment. It was no wonder that there was a magical instrument that generated water, and what kind of life was going on in Laval, which separated the walls of the castle, was a little fantasy.

"Hello Reurus, tired. It would be nice to have you around."

It was a Reurus who tried to finish the field search and shift to the surrounding vigilance, but Nicolas, a senior adventurer, called out.

"The monsters won't stop by, and even if they do, you'll kill them and eat them. Not only the farmers, but the adventurers will be intact."

"Hmm! Me and Reurus! Of course not!

Sarah, who was beside her, had her chest stretched and her nose fluttered. I can't deny it as a revulsion, but I thought it was a bad attitude, so I put my hand on Sarah's head and waved it from side to side.

"Wow, what!? No, stop it!?

"Sorry, senpai. I can't help it....."

"I don't mind. It's good to be healthy."

Nicolas laughs without worrying about it, but as a revulsion she has a narrow shoulder. There may be a side to it because it is the Spirit of Fire, but it bothers my head whether minimum courtesy should be taught.

"Sarah, rendezvous with Eliza and the others to find the enemy. Let me know as soon as you find it."

"Hmm... I thought I'd been nice lately, but the treatment will get messy like I remembered... but I'm relieved for some reason! Wonder!"

With a smile, Sarah rushed back to Eliza and Meer as directed by Reurus.

Reus thinks it's Sarah's strengths to be honest somehow, and realizes that Nicolas is turning a subtle eye.

"Senpai? What's wrong, what's wrong?

"... no, it's nothing. It's wild to talk about relationships elsewhere."

Reurus just leans his neck against the vaguely murky Nicolas. I still have to ask if there is anything I can do for you.

"So, senpai, was there anything that bothered you?

"Then you know better than I do, right? I just came to talk to you because I saw your pretty junior face."

"I don't know... where's Sharon?

"I took a day off today. He's feeling a little sick."

I'm not feeling well - that word clouds my expression.

Are you sick? Shall I go to the woods and get some herbs?

"I'm not sick... uh, eating?

Nicolas has bad dental cuts, but in this world, it is a realuse that has no place to eat. I was convinced that if I didn't need medicinal herbs, I would have taken care of them and put them to rest.

Recently, the number of monsters approaching the town has been decreasing. Even if Sharon takes a little rest... I'm really glad I'm alive. "

"I'm glad you said that. I'm a little worried that we're running out of monster work."

Nicolas seems to be telling me from the bottom of her heart, but she is concerned that the main task of the adventurer, the extermination of monsters, is diminishing. It depends on luck to encounter monsters in danger, but "affordable” monsters can earn a high income in a short period of time.

The reduction in monsters means that adventurers earn less. We'll need a farmer's escort every day, but a certain number will suffice.

"Don't be ridiculous. Sure makes less money, but no more adventurers. Everyone in town will be safe... no more rewards."

Nicolas laughs when she hears Reurus' anxiety. The Reurus who heard that said that the load on his shoulders would fall.

"Really... oh, I see. There's no better reward."

No matter how hostile a monster is to humans, Eliza, a bloodsucking species, does not like to approach Laval Waste City. Even from the middle-ranking monster Dwarf, the feeling of "miserable" appeared.

In addition, as soon as we get closer, Reurus will be happy to go hunting, and Sarah will be there now. Speaking of which, a group of dwarves are lurking near the Laval Waste City, so it will only take a little while to get close.

(If I run out of meat, I should go hunting....)

I had no idea when I came to Laval Waste City, and now the inferior monsters are nothing but delicious prey. Working with Sarah will make it easier to find monsters.

That's how I was supposed to talk to Nicolas, but I remembered what bothered me a lot. Therefore, when you confirm that there is only you and Nicolas around, you hide your voice and utter a word.

"By the way, senpai... there's a whorehouse called Laval Abandoned City, right? Where is it?

"Oh, wow... I thought you were hiding your voice and suddenly the subject changed. It's not sunset yet, is it?

As for Nicolas, it must have been an unexpected question. It looks like it has been eaten.

But as a realuse, I have to ask. Anyway, I'm truly sorry to say this, but I've heard some bad rumors about myself.

(I didn't know you were supposed to be a man....)

The other day, a senior adventurer who was drunk at Dominic's restaurant was saying such a thing. He was obviously intoxicated, so he should have listened in the middle of the conversation, but he didn't think his adventurers were faggots.

"Ah... well, did you say you had a riot at my store the other day..."

"I was just doing a giant swing because I was talking about something terrible. I'm mad at you, but I don't regret it."

"Jaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh? I don't know, but be careful.

"I took her out of the store before she threw up. After that, I took him to the toilet and gave him a hug."

Even though he was obviously intoxicated, Senpai Adventurer looked at Reurus and his face turned pale. Reurus even screamed when he held his legs with a smile.

But as for Nicolas, I think he was more concerned about what Reurus talked about than the adventurers. She glanced at the distant Elizabeth.

"What, you're not going to do anything to Eliza's girls?

"They're family. Besides, a woman like you or Esther would be nice to hold."

"Hee... did you like a woman with big breasts? Rumor has it, little girl... no, nothing. Come on, let's get back to work!

Pickle and Reurus' eyes moved. When Nicolas noticed it, she immediately lost sight and hit her escape hand, but the instantly timed Reus grabbed Nicolas on both shoulders.

"Wait a minute, senpai. What are you trying to say now? Hey, can you look me in the eye and say it again?

"Ouch! Ouch! How long have you been such an idiot! And then I just heard rumors! I'm not pretending to listen to stupid rumors!

What do you mean, Reurus fights? I didn't know you suspected Nicolas of having a strange sexual habit.

"Ask your sister about the whorehouse! You're in charge!

"What? What are you doing?

In addition to hosting adventurers' unions, Reurus shouted surprisingly.

(I mean, it's very difficult to ask your wife about the whorehouse....)

Perhaps I don't mind telling you, but the hurdles inside are expensive. It would be better to dive than to jump over such a hurdle.

"Senpai's using it, right? Let's go with you when we're done."

"Surprisingly clear. It doesn't matter to me... uh, just call your sister. I'm sure your husband has a lot of ideas."

"Gu... I can't help but get rid of the rumors."

If you ask such a question in the union, you will soon be told that the rumors are misleading. If there is a problem, it would be bad for Eliza and the others' emotional education, but we should let them go first because we need to talk.

The goal is to dispel rumors rather than lust. Reurus wanted to ask Natalia as soon as the escort was done.

"- No, I can't."

And it was beautifully rejected.
