A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Ooooooooooo!"

Reurus roars in the woods just south of Laval Waste City. The wild fur is too strong to call it a mood voice, but most adult males would be surprised if they attacked with a voice from the bottom of their bellies.

Reurus stepped in with a roar and gave his right fist his full strength. It's not a beautiful form like boxing, it's just a fight-and-kill technique that leaves it to your physical abilities.

Still, the fists that are fired with Reurus' physical abilities can be more than enough murder weapons. It will be difficult to kill the monster, but if a normal human being is against him, it will have the power to be dealt with with with with a single blow.

But the opponent is not a normal person. On the contrary, Zilba is the man Reurus knows best in the closest battle.

"Hmm...."

Zilba avoids the fist by simply tilting her neck without moving one eyebrow to the impending Reurus fist as she pierces the air.

Reurus' fist didn't even catch a single thin skin. Without any time to be surprised that he was literally avoided with a single piece of paper, Reurus pulled his right fist and now launched a left fist aimed at his abdomen.

Its power will be inferior to that of a fist in the right arm, which is a dominant arm. Still, Reurus uses the magic sent by Eliza and Sarah to develop his high physical abilities.

The right fist pulls faster and the left fist runs faster. He instantly twisted his body and threw his left fist at the speed of the bullet - he was easily beaten.

"Ghhhhhhhhhhhh!

It won't arrive in a single shot. The Reurus that decides to do so alternates between the left and right. Don't dare to aim, it will keep raining your fist if it is grabbed by a part of your body.

No feints. Reurus' awkward technique doesn't work for Gilba, so it would be more effective to increase the rate of random strikes than to distract the face.

The weight of the strike is decreasing with the emphasis on effort, but it is still being pushed by the effort. Overwhelm with a face, not a blow to a point.

Yes, I thought so.

"I see... you're moving faster than before"

With his left hand, Jilba murmured as if he was impressed with each shot of Reurus' fist.

Zilba pulls her right leg and opens her body, lowers her hips and pushes her left hand forward. It's probably for defense, but the left-hand side plays the left-hand side of the Reurus.

Lower your hips with your right hand at your waist. It seemed to be just before the cannon was fired, and I wasn't sure when it would be released as a revulsion.

"Come on! Reurus, right there. Right there! It's a shame!

"Sarah... are you sure you can see me? It's hard for me to follow with my eyes....."

"Don't worry, Elizabeth. That's because I'm with you."

Sarah's cheer came from behind, as did Eliza and Meer's stunned voice. But Reurus can't afford to respond to that cheer.

It seals Zilba's movements by throwing fists from one to the next, but once it collapses, it will be easily reversed.

- Why are you fighting Zilba in the woods?

There's no deep reason for that. Because Jilba invited me.

I was going to accept the request today as an adventurer, but I heard that Nicolas and Sharon would receive the farmer's escort and received a surveillance request around the abandoned city of Laval because they didn't need it militarily.

Then, for some reason, Zilba followed me. Gilba has an unimaginable skill in Reurus, but naturally, if she lacks training, her arms will fall.

Instead of Zilba accompanying the client to help, she wanted to make a "deal” with Reurus. Of course, there is no point in neglecting the request, so we take a little more break time and beat each other.

Of course, beating each other would be a bad thing. Reurus strikes are shredded, but they either cut through the sky, are diverted, or are being played.

This time, we are fighting with our bare hands to match Zilba. It is important to hone the way you fight without relying on the red sword, even as a revulsion.

If you fight in a narrow place where the great sword cannot be shaken, you will use a fist or dagger. In that sense, it would be good for Reurus to cross fists with Gilba.

Even if there are obstacles around you, you can only slay enemies with a big sword, but a little “drawer” would be more advantageous in battle.

Though I thought so, the difference in skill is too large for Gilba. Zilba has not launched an attack, but she has failed to understand everything she is launching.

"Kon, noooo!

Looks like I'm going to kick my fist again, releasing a kick that I've never used before.

It was a realuse that spins and kicks ahead of power, but even if it was meant to be surprising, it would have been read by Gilba. If you think you retracted in a slippery motion, the moment Reurus kicks past comes forward again.

"Don't... kicking is prone to breaking up. I don't recommend it for amateurs if you've been trained."

"Hmm!?

Reurus leaps backwards with one remaining foot. But Gilba didn't let me go. When the movement is sealed by grasping Reurus' legs, he pulls to his strength and forcefully disorients himself.

"Kicking is more powerful than a fist, but if you use it, it's easier for you to lose your posture."

"Gu!?

Like kicking a soccer ball, it's like kicking a straight up kick. Reurus aggressively crosses his arms, but his feet rise off the ground.

"And in the air, movement is restricted-"

Zilba shook her kicked leg down and stepped into the ground with enough momentum. When Reurus noticed, Zilba's back was approaching in front of him.

I don't know the name, but it touches the body using the back. However, it is likely to be hit by a shock that can be repelled by the truck if it hits.

"What... oh!

Both feet are off the ground and cannot be avoided. As a result, Reurus twisted his body in the air and “landed” on the back of Jilba, jumping with all efforts to escape the impact.

"... ah"

In addition to the power that Zilba had on her body, she jumped as far as she could. When Reurus realized the fact, his body was already flying in the sky.

Reurus, who had “fired” himself, was desperate to see Zilba swimming in the air and chasing after him.

"Thank you very much. It was a good exercise."

"Thank you... I thought I was going to die..."

At the end of the match, Reurus and Gilba greet each other. Gilba has a clear expression, but Reurus seems dissatisfied.

With a weapon - a red sword might have a different result, but with bare hands, there were no hands or feet.

No, I put out my hands and feet, but they didn't work at all.

"Mr Reurus's attack is unforgiving... I think I'll be too tight. It won't be much of a battle, but it's a much more fruitful exercise than molding exercises."

Though I don't know if it is flattering or sincere, Gilba says with a serious look. Hearing that, Reurus sighed and shook his shoulders.

"That's fine... ah, damn it. Let's train more so we can fight with bare hands....."

I didn't think I could beat Gilba with my bare hands, but if I lose, I regret it. It was a complete defeat without a single shot.

"I don't think it would be the same in real battle... Mr. Reurus would be good for real battle, and at the moment, the weight and speed of the strike are still there. You can kill them with your bare hands."

"But it's dangerous to be someone with a little skill, isn't it?

"No, if you have that much physical ability, you can easily twist it down with a little technique. Of course, chronic mind is forbidden."

Gilba laughs calmly, but there are people in front of her who don't understand physical abilities alone.

This time, Jilba may have been reduced by the deal, but if it was a real battle, it would be sunk with an instant blow.

"In my case, because of Eliza and Sarah's 'contract', this is how it works... when I thank you instead of being slow."

Yeah, I think that's good.

Reus has a 'deal' with Eliza and Sarah, but both of them are sending magic as a benefit.

"Enhancement" worked due to its magic to improve physical abilities. Not only strength and speed, but also reflex nerves and motor vision are enhanced in physical ability and in one mouth.

Using 'Caloric Release' will give you even more power, but it will still be enough to fight normally.

Since I came to Laval Waste City, my diet has improved and my body is getting better. You're waving your sword like every day, or you have muscles all over you.

(But the wearing and the technology are separate.....)

Compared to when I was working as a serf in Shenna Village, my physical abilities have also grown. It's not as free as it gets, but now you may be able to wave your sword without Eliza and Sarah's magic.

"Hmm... it looks like there are no monsters around here, either because of Eliza or because of Calvin and the others. Even if Reurus and Gilba make noise, they won't stop by at all."

That's how Reus and Gilba talk, and Sarah, who was searching for enemies around her, talks.

Reurus also explored the magic around him, but Calvin and the dwarves didn't feel the magic of the other monsters.

Eliza's presence prevented the junior monster from approaching, but she wouldn't like to approach a crowd of nearly fifty dwarves, whether they were intermediate monsters.

"Well, as usual, why don't you and Sarah find the monster... and Eliza and Meer stay with Gilba. I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Hmm... I want you to be careful with Reurus. Sarah... don't burn the woods."

"The house is close, so I'll show my face to everybody...."

There is Gilba here today, so I don't need to worry about breaking up with you more than once. Reurus decided to take Sarah out to find the monster.

And two hours later, Reurus and the others were back in the abandoned city of Laval. Each of them is responsible for the prey they took today, and the number reaches dozens.

Especially since there are many horny rabbits and they are delicious enough to be picked up as edible meat in the abandoned city of Laval, Reurus smiles.

Although temporarily, the monsters solidified in a narrow area, whether it was the influence of dwarfs settled in the south forest. Probably the result of taking as much distance from the dwarves as possible and still struggling not to enter the territory of other powerful monsters.

I was caught by Sarah's heat source detection, so I hurriedly took it down and recently it became an unusual “big fish”.

Hey, it was a big day.

"There's one of them out here, but it's been peaceful lately... I'm honestly not sure it's a good idea to be happy considering it's been consolidated in a narrow area."

Returning to the abandoned city of Laval, Reurus had sold most of his materials after making a report at the Adventurers' Union. Still, I have two whole pieces of horny rabbit meat left with me, and tonight it will be a luxurious meal with a smile on my face.

Gilba also took out a horny rabbit and brought it home to feed the church's orphans.

"... that? Corona...?

As you walk along the boulevard of the abandoned city of Laval, you see Corona at the edge of your vision. Reurus glanced back and looked for the corona, but the corona's back just vanished into the trail.

The time is already late in the evening and it is a little late for Corona to walk alone. No matter how familiar a town is, the rest is not zero. As long as you're an adventurer, it's careless for Corona to walk alone.

"Ah... Gilba, we're going after Corona, so if you'll excuse us."

I'll leave strangers alone, but I can't leave strange coronas in danger. Reurus lowered his head to Zilba and tried to follow after Corona with Eliza and the others.

Wait, Mr. Reurus.

"Eh? Why are you stopping?

But Jilba grabbed my shoulder and stopped me. When Reurus looks at what's going on, Zilba looks down at where the corona has disappeared.

"Really... it's already such a time."

Jilba murmured as if she was convinced. As a revulsion, I don't know what it means, but I have to tilt my neck.

"Mr. Reurus, do you know what's ahead of Corona?

"No, it's about time I went to the union around here... what do you have?

It hasn't been a year since I came to the abandoned city of Laval. I can tell around where I normally use it, but I don't know the whole town about Reurus.

Gilba opens her mouth to such a revulsion as she looks away.

Mr. Corona is headed to the cemetery where her mother sleeps.

That's how I smiled a little lonely.
