A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The next day, at dusk, Sharon visited Reurus' house, as declared.

Sharon is not dressed the same as yesterday and holds a sad basket that she thinks contains clothes and so on.

"Coming."

"Yeah, I can tell by looking at it... senpai, you're looking forward to it too much."

I'm not sure because I don't have an accurate watch, but perhaps Sharon visited at exactly the same time as yesterday. The expression is the usual faceless expression, but the eyes are shining with expectations.

"How about a bath?

"Ah... it's boiling. Could you wait a little longer?

The ice Sharon produced last night didn't melt in a day, so I'm throwing Sarah in and melting it. As soon as Sarah stays in the water, she'll be in hot water.

In the meantime, I invite Sharon to the living room and bring out the water in the glass. Sharon thanked him and started drinking water, but his gaze was fixed on a staircase leading to the basement.

Eliza, once “mentored” by Sharon as an adventurer, is also here. Sharon talks several times because he is here, but Sharon does not return a rocky reaction without moving his gaze.

Some Meers have little to do with Sharon, but even when Reurus and Eliza talk, they just smile at Sharon in the sky.

(How much do you like taking a bath... hmm? Wait a minute.)

It was a realuse that smiled bitterly inside, but I doubted it.

What's in this town is a sauna, right? Even if you go to the river, you can bathe in the water, but it's not like you've been in a bath... so where have you been?

Baths filled with warm water are not available in the Laval Waste Town. Maybe it's the first time I've actually come in just because I've heard of it, but then I won't be able to let go of the atmosphere that is so full of expectations.

Sharon looks as excited and dumb as ever, without expressing himself. She still looks more like a girl of her age than a man.

(No, no, I have to pry... I can't just storm into the bathroom and check it out.)

I have no intention of causing a tragedy such as my body moving on its own and entering the bathroom. If that happens, you should think that someone is manipulating you.

The possibility is not zero because of the world of magic, but I didn't think there was “someone” who could manipulate the body of Reurus to storm Sharon's bathing area.

As Reurus watches Sharon, he hears butterflies and footsteps from downstairs. Apparently Sarah has finished boiling the bath, so she's here to let you know.

"fee... it was good hot water! Is that it? Is it good hot water? Anyway, I'm ready."

Sarah rubbed her forehead with her hands without saying that she had finished her job. He smiled as if he had done a good job, but he seemed to have been soaked in a hot tub to boil the water and was completely naked.

"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!? It's good to boil, but why did you come out naked? Oh, my God! The floor's wet! I'm going to wipe your body, and I need you to help me!

"Uh-huh!

And Eliza screamed as she saw Sarah come out naked. When Sara thinned it at a speed that she didn't even ask if she was using "reinforcement", she held it up and carried it upstairs.

She probably wants to wipe Sarah with her own towel or something.

(Sarah can evaporate the water from her body with flame magic... so she just weighed herself because the house might burn?

Or did you just forget to wipe your body because you wanted Reus to praise you? Did you just come up immediately? Sharon stood up from his chair as Reurus leaned his neck slightly.

Well then, I'll take a bath.

"Oh, oh... senpai, don't blur."

Sarah was naked and Eliza and Meer were in a hurry.

Since Sarah left the lights on in the basement, Reurus won't have to accompany her. Did you remember the room layout from yesterday's visit? Sharon goes to the basement without hesitation.

(You don't think I'm going to peek... no, I'm not.)

Reurus that smiles bitterly without thinking of Sharon's wandering steps.

When Eliza and the others came down, I thought about going to Dominic's restaurant, and I felt magic outside the house. Then the door is knocked, as it was yesterday at Sharon. However, compared to Sharon, the knock was a little rough.

"... who is it?

The timing is as good as measured. Reurus opened the door with a dagger grip, questioning it a little.

…………

There stood Nicolas with a nasty face.

Determined that he had something to do, Reurus took Nicolas home. And as Sharon did, Nicolas looked around in a rare way.

It's my first time up, but it's a pretty good house.

"It was originally a bungalow building, but Calvin's grandmothers increased the basement and upstairs overnight... thank you."

With that said, Reurus watches Nicolas. Nicola was looking around at the beginning, but her expression gradually stretched out. It seemed to me that this was a very important matter, and Reus connected Sarah with a "thought call."

"Sarah, stay upstairs with Eliza and the others for a while. I think Senpai Nicolas needs me."

"Ah, let go, Reurus!? Isn't Eliza terrible!? I apologized, but I grabbed my leg and said," Ha-ha-ha! ”

I hear a noisy noise from the second floor. Though it was good to be healthy, Reurus cut off the "thought call." After a few seconds, I heard Sarah screaming, as usual.

"Sorry, senpai. It looks like Eliza and the others are playing a little hard."

"No, I don't mind that... it's more convenient if it's misunderstood by the sound."

While saying that, Nicolas puts what she was holding in both hands on the table. Something about a bottle of wine wrapped in two large leaves of tree - something that would have baked meat from the smell.

"It's also bad if you don't use your hands. I bought it from me... will you hang out with me for a while?

"... then I'll leave it to your partner."

Shortly after Sharon went to the bath, Nicolas must have come too.

When Reurus places a glass for himself and Nicolas on the table, Nicolas starts pouring alcohol in a familiar way. When Reurus opened a souvenir wrapped in large leaves, the meat was baked with salt, as expected.

I don't know what kind of meat it is, but it's like yakitori.

Well, let's have a toast.

"That's fine, but what are we toasting?

"... praying for less recent injuries and for the health of the city's residents?

When Reurus asked strangely, Nicolas worried slightly before she came up with a reason to drink. Convinced that a toast would be fine for that reason, Reus hit Nicolas with a glass.

"Phew... delicious"

"Oh, it's delicious. But senpai, isn't this expensive?

Most of the alcohol that Dominic's restaurants sell is cheap (ale), which residents of the city can easily drink. Instead of drinking 3 pieces of copper per per cup, the taste is not serious.

But the liquor Nicolas brought in was an exception. Residents of the town only buy alcohol during festivals, and when they buy it in bottles, they need silver coins.

"Never mind. I've been spending less money on my gear lately, and I'm saving up on everyday requests."

"That's fine, but...."

Nicolas drank at an early pace with one or two glasses. He said he wanted to get drunk early, but Reurus drank with his chin while remembering his inner doubts.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Reurus Reurus! Eliza dislikes me! Help me!

Please tell her to be careful. Don't make too much noise. I can hear it all the way upstairs. "

While drinking with Nicolas, Sarah received a screaming rescue request. However, Reurus slightly flushed his usual “sister quarrel”.

What kind of other HR!? Ah, good luck! Now Eliza is on my back, grabbing my legs and forcing me to stray. "

"How many times have I told you not to show up naked?!?

"Eliza-chan!? Sara-chan's body is going to be terrible!?

Apparently a professional wrestling tournament named Eliza's sermon is being held upstairs. Even though there was a customer named Sharon, it seemed to have touched Eliza's scales that Sarah appeared naked.

Eliza also knows that because of the influence Reus had on Eliza's 'contract', she looked just like Eliza when Sarah appeared. From Eliza's point of view, it's like she's naked right in front of her.

"Eliza's lady at your place has gotten a lot brighter."

"It's good to be alive... yeah, it's supposed to be good..."

Kids are best off, and Eliza and Sarah's fights are funny - but Eliza seems to be imitating what Reurus did and doesn't feel like a Reurus.

"Well, let's put that aside... may I ask you something?

"Uhh... well, you know exactly what I mean..."

I thought it was blatant as Nicolas. When Reurus asks about the subject, Nicolas drinks in trouble.

How hard was it to say? Nicolas poured the liquor into the glass and drowned in his gaze.

(Is that so hard to say?

Nicolas, who is usually a straightforward speaker with a bamboo split character, keeps saying so much.

(Conversely, would it be easier for me to mention Senpai Sharon?

That might make it easier for Nicolas to talk. Probably, but I figured it was for Sharon that Nicolas went out of his way to set up this place.

--I can't think of anything else at the right time.

But Nicolas is still wandering his gaze. I've already opened the first bottle to drink all the liquor, and I've reached out to the second.

"What's the matter, senpai? I'm telling you, if you're a regular senpai, you'll have to do better than that.

"That's right... it's just a matter of fact. No, I trust you too....."

Nicolas looked at the stairs behind the living room and said badly. Sharon hasn't been in the bath long enough, but I wonder when he'll come up.

"Senpai Sharon, if the magic hasn't moved from the bath, it's still going to take some time.

"Really... no, mmm... ah"

Then Nicolas whispered as if she had thought of something. Reurus finally drinks and waits for Nicolas to say something.

"As a matter of fact... Sharon is a child of Mr. Hayashi."

"Whoa!? Ugh, you're lying, senpai!?

And then I blew out a bottle of wine. Nicolas' expression was serious, and Reurus asked the truth.

(Isn't your age strange? No, no, how old did you have Senpai Sharon!? Maybe you had a husband!? I'm a wife or a widow.)

"Oh, that's a lie."

I'll take him down, senpai.

Confusion subsided instantly and a cold voice leaked from the bottom of my heart. When Nicolas kicked her in protest, Nicolas broke her serious expression and laughed.

"Hee, hee! It's just a joke to calm the place down... so don't miss it because you're drunk."

"Tell your wife," Nicolas said, "Are you pregnant? I'm going to ask...."

"Stop it!?

I'm sure he'll give Nicolas a "sermon” with a great smile. Reurus pours wine back into the glass and drinks it all at once, thinking so.

"... so? You didn't come all the way here just to tell me a bad joke?

Reurus asks with his eyes wide open. Nicolas was able to swim her gaze when she just said she would not forgive the second joke.

"Ah... I wonder what to say... Reurus, what do you think of Sharon?

"That question is going to be a lot of misunderstandings, so let me just say I'm not a man... and I haven't even touched on Eliza and the others."

You didn't know Sharon was coming into the bath, so you took the trouble to send him a nail. I thought the rumor that it was a male house had disappeared, but was it still stubborn?

"After properly understanding the area... well," that's the opposite of what I'm worried about... no, but it's a revulsion... "

Nicolas begins to look all alone. Reurus jumps one eyebrow while carrying alcohol into his mouth. You may as well wait for things to settle down at these times.

"Is there anything you want to say about Senpai Sharon?

Then, he watched as Nicolas calmed down and called out. Nicolas then nods loudly after a sip of wine.

"Ah... I thought this was a good opportunity. I have something to tell you."

That's what Nicola said with a serious look on her face.

"Actually, Sharon is a woman."
