A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Slightly back in time.

Reurus, who successfully completed the farmer's escort request, was reporting to Natalia at the Adventurers Association. Reurus works with Eliza, Sarah, and Meer, and as their representative, they need to report on the accomplishment of the request.

"This time, it seems to have ended peacefully... more importantly."

"No injured person. Agricultural work is also going well. With me, it would be better if one monster came out and saved me in a dietary sense... well, is there any better reward than no injury to everyone?"

"I'll pay you well, so eat proper food at Dominic's."

Listening to Reurus, Natalia laughs bitterly to retrieve the reward for this request.

Because there were no monsters, there were no additional rewards, and because Meer was not an adventurer, there were three rewards for Reurus, Eliza, and Sarah, but they were still two silver coins.

Originally rewarded with one silver coin and five large bronze coins, but there are additional rewards for Reurus and Sarah's ability to search for enemies. Perhaps they are giving me a reward for Meer in that name, but Reurus did not intend to check with Natalia.

Reurus interprets it as something like a so-called skill allowance. In that name, even if I increase the reward a little, I won't be told anything by the surrounding people. Two silver coins would cost a few days' worth of food, including Mea, so it would be appreciated as a revulsion.

"Eliza, I need to talk to your wife, so go home first."

"Hmm? I'll be waiting for you if you want to talk.

"No, it could be a long time. If you're late, go have dinner with him first."

While saying so, Reurus gives Eliza this reward. The attitude was magnificent and there was no trace of dust such as backlash.

"Go back through the main street properly. Speak up as soon as anything happens. Even if someone I don't know calls me, I won't follow you..."

It's a good thing you don't have to pay attention to the car. Suspicions can be seen in the air of the surrounding residents, even if Eliza and the others don't notice.

"Was I a child!? Yeah, Sarah and Meer are on their way!

"If anything happens, I'll skip the Idea Call! Eliza, let's buy and eat before we go home!

"Er... well, then, we're going home first, right?

Did you hate being treated like a child? Eliza walks with her cheeks full. Sarah seemed to be having fun, and Meer left in trouble watching Eliza's sword.

"So? What do you want me to ask you when I get those three back first?

As Eliza and the others left the Adventurers Association, Natalia smiled deeply. Reus scratched his cheeks and leaned his neck in trouble.

"Hey... I'd like to ask you about this town's whorehouse. When I talked to Senpai Nicola, I told her to talk to her... unfortunately, there were rumors that I was a man."

Of course, the rumor is not spread maliciously. Senpai, the adventurers are just joking around.

There were other "strange rumors”, but I didn't mention them. From the side, I think there is nothing I can do to cause misunderstanding.

"So you want to go to the whorehouse? I don't know how you feel, but isn't it a little short-circuited?

Natalia plays with the smoke pipes she carries everyday and says she is stunned.

"Well... but I've only heard about it, and I don't really know where it is."

I don't know where it is or where it is. When I first met Eliza, I was recommended to work in a whorehouse, but that's all I had to do with Reurus.

"Fortunately, there's a little room for money. I thought it was social studies."

"- No, I can't."

Natalia cuts off and discards the word of Reurus. Natalia sighed as Reurus jumped one eyebrow in response to a slightly cold feeling.

"I see... the boy is also a spiritual guest, and you can pass through the gates of Laval, right? I don't mind going to Raval's whorehouse. But don't use this town's whorehouse."

"May I ask why?

They won't stop using the whorehouse, but the “place” seems bad. Concerned about that point, Reurus asked, and Natalia turned her attention to the surroundings after thinking a little.

"Shall I change the location? I'll talk to you at my house, as long as you're a boy. That's right..." alone ”, right?

In Natalia's words, the surroundings scream. However, I was worried about the part that would be different from the surrounding area as a reuse.

(There was a house for you... no, there was one. I had the image of being in the union for a long time, but I suppose you also have your own life.)

Maybe it's more important than I thought. Reurus nodded back.

"It's a small place, but please don't hesitate to come up."

"... I'm sorry to bother you"

Already in the evening, Leurus was taken to Natalia, where the Adventurers Association had finished its work.

I can't imagine what a house like Natalia would look like for a woman. However, the Natalian houses that actually arrived were no different from the surrounding houses.

The place is behind the Adventurers Association, and Reurus thinks it's good to be close to the workplace.

Because the Adventurers' Association faces the main street, it is a "prime place” in the abandoned city of Laval, but does Natalia have a house close to such an Adventurers' Association receive a high salary?

Natalia's house appears to be made of earthen walls and wood, just like Reurus's. However, unlike Reurus' house, which evolved overnight, there are no upstairs or basements. It looked like a very ordinary bungalow building.

Opening the front door led to a living room with two doors in the back of the room. Whether it's the bedroom or the warehouse, Reurus leans his neck inside out.

I felt that it was a little wide for women to live alone, but there was no indication that “other people” lived there. Rather, even if I lived alone in Natalia, I had a poor feeling of life.

In the living room, a thick cloth rug is laid on the planked floor and a wooden table is placed on top of it. The top plate was about the size of a tatami mat, and there were two legs of chair for visitors. There is a large shelf by the wall where you can see several bottles.

There was something like a kitchen, but it was about as prominent as furniture. There are dishes and the like in the kitchen.

"Hmmm...."

I thought Reurus was rude, but it compares to my home. Can I ask where the rug at my feet was sold? Care for the Sword of Love is also important, but enriching our home is also important to Reus.

"Boy, it's not like I'm staring at a woman's room."

"Oops, excuse me...."

So did Reurus, who immediately lost sight. And looking at Natalia, Natalia looked at the kitchen with some thoughts.

"I miss talking about nothing..."

"Hmm? Could you even act like a handyman?

That's right, isn't it? With that in mind, Natalia smiled a little, as Reus joked.

"Well... that's not bad either. Kid, please sit in the chair and wait."

Seriously?

I meant to joke, but apparently he's really going to cook. Reurus stood on the wall with a red sword and sat on the chair as he was told.

"For the record, you don't have any bad food, do you?

"I would eat anything if I could...."

"Yes, that's a good thing."

Natalia smiled deeper when she heard Reurus's reply about what was fun.

Then scratch up the glossy purple hair and put it together with a white ribbon that comes out of nowhere. Did you think it would get in the way of cooking, or did you take care not to let your hair get into the cooking?

Behind Natalia, unusual. I don't think black clothes like dresses are suitable for cooking, but they suit Natalia's balanced body well. If I stepped in further, the technique of scratching up my hair and the dew nose were strangely colorful.

In addition, Natalia puts an apron-like cloth on the front of her body to prevent her clothes from getting dirty. I was also seen “used to" tying strings behind my waist.

(... honestly, don't grumble.)

Reurus makes an unexpectedly small, gutty pose to his figure. I forgot why I was here and was satisfied just to see the family side of Natalia.

(No, wait, I... if this is messy...)

But soon the “worst chance” passed my head. As far as I can see from the back, Natalia's handicrafts were not good and she seemed accustomed to cooking, but I can't guarantee the flavor.

As Reurus stared, Natalia looked back with a bitter smile.

"I can't stand being stared at with silence. Was there anything interesting?

"Nothing interesting, but I fell in love with you because your back was so beautiful. I wasn't expecting you to cook for me, so I was surprised... the place to cook is nice and fresh. And the nod is colorful."

"Oh, you're good... but that's why I invited you today."

"... that?

I wonder what that means, Reurus leans his neck. I didn't lie just to praise you as I thought. I am sincere, not flattering.

Natalia got out of sight of Reurus and started cooking again. Tong tong, the sound of cutting vegetables with a knife echoes around you.

"The boy is young, and I won't stop going to the whorehouse. I just told you, if you want to go, you can take Laval."

"It's really tough to pay taxes to get into Laval just to go to the whorehouse... can you tell me why? Maybe you're worried about me getting in?

You wouldn't tell me to go to Laval for no reason. Rather, Natalia is going to tell Laval Waste City to drop the money.

However, it is a problem to drop too much money. Even in my previous life, there was a colleague who was too attached to the brothel to earn most of his salary.

In that sense, I am convinced that Natalia will stop. However, you don't have to go out of your way to invite home if that's all.

"Doesn't look like you're drowning in color enough to cover your living expenses?

"No, no, I'm a virgin. Once you hold it, you'll soak it all over your neck, and maybe you'll pay for it.

Regardless of the previous life, there is no doubt that there is “female experience” in this life. When I was in Shenna Village, there were no women approaching me because I was a serf, and if I tried to get close to myself, it seemed like I would be beaten by the village superiors.

(Except for my mother, the only opposite sex I've ever touched in Shena is the body of a girl buried outside the village... counting the bodies as opposite would be wrong.)

I don't remember the exact number from more than a dozen people, but any child who has lost his or her life in the same situation as himself or herself has been “buried" by both men and women.

The only heterosexual person she has ever touched in Shena Village is her mother, and the rest is a corpse. Reus wants to cry lightly in the past.

Anyway, if Natalia was right and asked if she would drown in color, the answer would be no.

(When I said I was fifteen in my previous life, I felt like I was very young and I had a lot to spare, but now I don't know. All I feel is my appetite and my lust....)

Fortunately, should I say unhappiness as a man? For now, Reurus is very lustful - rather too appetizing.

In the case of the three main desires, it seems to be 90% appetite, 9% sleep appetite, and 1% sexual desire.

When I look at women who like Natalia and Esther, I think it's 'good'. But when asked if it takes precedence over appetite...

"Do you spend enough money to lose your possession? Really?"

"... if you spend so much money, don't eat a full meal at my place, yeah"

Natalia asked me with a smile and Reurus nodded with his face. If I wanted to “hold” just because I had too much appetite, I would have held it, but I didn't think it would be preferable to eating.

"Then why did you stop? Is that why you stopped going to the whorehouse?

"I didn't mean to bother calling home, but I don't have that deep a reason. However, in the case of a boy, I'm just putting nails on the girls in the whorehouse because I'm going to make them“ serious ”... but I won't stop if I'm even thinking about asking for help."

"I mean it... you might be rude to say this, but the other party is also a“ business ”, right? Aren't you being careful not to overfill your customers?

A whorehouse is such a place. With that in mind, Reurus says, but Natalia cuts off and discards as she resumes cooking without pretending.

"Oh, the other person and you both know blood and love, right? Sometimes when you lay your skin on top of each other... isn't that right?

"Well... well, I can't say no."

If you hold it, it will change your feelings - if you say so, you can't argue with it as a Reus.

Even if we cut it off as an overnight opponent, we could face each other somewhere more than in the abandoned city of Laval.

"Besides, the kid's a single woman in town, and he's a target. I have arms, I have money, and I have a house. Everyone thinks about their daughters, but if they want to live a stable life, they'll tolerate it."

While saying that, Natalia uses flint stones to light a fire in the jar. Unlike Reurus, I was very used to it and set it on fire in about ten seconds.

"Especially if you're a whore. The boy has as much money as he can afford and is not a bad person to treat women. My enemies won't forgive me."

…………

It is easy to deny just words, but there are many parts of Natalia's story that are convincing. As a result, Reurus silently stared at Natalia, who had started stirring vegetables.

"Even a whore is a fellow boy in this town... and the boy looks like a woman, not a whore. I don't know what that looks like in the other person's eyes... I'm used to flattering them, but in the case of a boy, it's really bad in nature."

I didn't think I'd be discouraged from praising women. However, since we can understand Natalia's story, Reurus listens silently.

"I want to make the other person serious and fly away because of it... as an adventurer association receptionist, as someone who knows“ those kids ”, I want to avoid it. I wouldn't stop him if he didn't treat me like something."

Natalia probably talked about hookers in a brothel. Nicolas says that Natalia is in charge of the whorehouse, and there are many things she thinks.

--Or does it include Eliza and the others?

And Natalia is right. I don't know who you've even met, but if you're a “buddy” of this town, Reurus won't treat you badly.

(Kim, a stable life... I can't beg you...)

It is now possible to live a life free from eating, but around this time a year ago, I spent my days hungry in the village of Shena.

The threat to Reurus is not only hunger, but also farming work done outside the village in fear of monsters, and the village superiors who beat him up if anything happens.

I don't know whether it was hard for a whore working in a whorehouse or not, but Reus thought he would have done anything if he had known he could get out of his life in Shena a year ago.

At the same time, he raised his eyebrows to wonder if he had said such a verbal thing. When Natalia was the opponent, Natalia also responded “knowingly”. That's why I did it lightly.

"Here we go. I'm sorry it's so simple."

With Reurus in mind, Natalia was starting to line up the plates on the table. When caught by the smell, the table is filled with ham-like stir-fried meat and vegetables, black bread warmed in a saucepan, cups and water bottles, and a fork.

As long as I can smell it, it looks very delicious. As expected, Dominic will lose, but the smell and appearance seem delicious.

"Would you like a drink with the boy?

As Reurus sparkled his eyes, Natalia brought a bottle from the shelf. Natalia leans the bottle and pours a little of the contents into the glass, nodding that it would be wild to refuse even though she doesn't know the contents.

A sweet smell of slightly fragrant fruit. At the same time, I felt the smell of alcohol. Probably fruit wine.

I think I'm going to have a good time.

As Reurus nods, Natalia tilts the bottle. When Reurus is poured with fruit liquor, he receives the bottle and tilts it like Natalia did.

Natalia keeps her hair together on the back of her head because of the hair loss. As expected, the apron has been removed, but the impression is too different when you face it from the front - but I think this is an ant.

The usual scented tone “slightly” lingers, strengthening the clear and vivid impression.

If it comes true, I would like to see it as it is, but the dishes that you cooked will get cold. Reurus put his hands together unconsciously and took the fork.

"I'll take it... hmm? What's the matter, Mistress?

"... no, I just wondered if it tasted good. I don't think it tastes bad... but what do you think?

That's how Reurus brings stir-fried vegetables to his mouth. I don't know if it is ham or dried meat, but when I chewed the chopped meat together, the taste of salt and meat and the taste of vegetables spread into my mouth.

"Yeah, yeah... delicious"

Chew many times to taste and swallow loudly. Then I put my mouth on the fruit liquor, but this one was also delicious. The alcohol is not so strong, but it is a sweetness that is ideal for dinner.

"It's delicious here too... isn't it delicious not only because you're beautiful, but also because of the food? That's great."

Kid?

"Forgive me because it's true. I'll be careful in the future."

Regardless of appearance compliments, it is impossible to say that the food is delicious. If it tastes bad, it's likely that words will come out on its own, but for Reurus, not praising delicious food is unlikely to be enough for the soul to refuse.

Reurus has few words, and yet his hands flatten without stopping to eat food. Natalia said it was a simple dish, but isn't it because it's simple that skill is questioned? I only use a little salt for seasoning, but the taste of dried meat is sufficient.

"Phew... thank you for dinner, it was delicious."

All the bread is flat, and the revulsion murmurs satisfactorily. Then Natalia smiled satisfactorily.

"That kind of compliment is very welcome. It was a pleasant meal."

That's what they said, and Reurus laughed back. I thought I should at least pay for the food, but when I saw Natalia's smile, it would be wild.

"I'll return this thanks at work from tomorrow."

Yeah, you can do that.

Apparently it wasn't wrong. Natalia deepened her smile when she heard Reurus's words.

Normally, it was Natalia that made me feel cold, but when I touched “personal life” like this, I could hear the face even if it was just a little. At the same time, I can clearly understand Natalia's mastery.

Taking them out of the union and setting up a place like this is probably just to get rid of the rumours of Reurus, even if it's half a joke. Reurus, who decided so, drank the remaining fruit liquor from the glass and lifted the edge of his mouth.

You're such a good woman.

"Fufu... just this once, I'll take it as a compliment. So, what do we do?

Is that about the whorehouse we were talking about earlier? Reurus stood up from his chair and carried the red sword he had stood on the wall.

Natalia's “deliberate” invitations to her home in the union will eliminate rumours of being a man. In that case, you just retreat while immersing yourself in the finish of the delicious dish.

"For me, I'd rather dictate you than you... but I'm going home honestly because my stomach is swollen. We need to make sure Eliza and the others are having dinner."

When Reurus said that, Natalia laughed at what was wrong. It was an innocent smile unimaginable from normal Natalia.

"Do it... good night, Reurus"

Natalia calls her name, not "boy." Reurus glanced slightly, but immediately smiled at Natalia.

"Ah... good night, Natalia"

Tomorrow it will be “as usual”. Still, I was asexually glad you called my name just now.

Reurus stretches slightly as he leaves Natalia's house.

"Shh... let's have dinner with Eliza at my place."

It's about Eliza and the others. It seems that I am still waiting without eating.

Reurus walked along the thoroughly darkened boulevard of the abandoned city of Laval at a lighter pace.
