A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 147: Moving Part 3
"... I didn't know you were coming."
Reurus suddenly murmured as he saw the fire dragon Vanille standing on the ground.
We were getting closer to the territory, but it would have taken us a little longer to actually step into it. Nevertheless, I noticed the approaching realuses, and I was surprised at Vaniel, who had gone out on his own.
"I smelled me in the wind."
Vanille spoke out loudly, but apparently she noticed approaching with the smell of Vanille's own nails and scales that she gave to Reurus.
Still, there's still a distance to the Veos volcano.
"Hmm... it looks like the nails and scales I gave you were used properly as weapons. The weapon and armor don't seem to match, but it's still the same as before. Impressive... hmm?
Vanille was in a good mood when she saw the set of gear Reurus was wearing, but her huge face was slightly distorted.
And as I got closer to Reurus, Eliza, and Sarah, I changed my expression as much as Meer and Calvin could tell when I first saw Vernier.
"Reurus, what the hell happened to you guys?
A voice that is as sharp as its facial expression. Was it astonishment or vigilance that was included in that voice?
"... what, what?
However, from Reurus, the inquiry is difficult to respond to. What the hell does Vaniel care?
"I can't believe this smell... no, I wouldn't have noticed it if I were you..."
"Vaniel?"
It is true that we met earlier than expected, but it is also astonishing to see him murmuring. Reurus shook his giant head back to me when he called out Vaniel's name.
That's what I'm talking about... so? What do you want this time?
It was a reaction that worried me about Reurus, but there seems to be some sort of convergence in the vanilla. After Vanille turned to Reurus, Eliza and Sarah, she saw Calvin and the others stiff to Vanille's sudden appearance.
The subhuman in the back... is a people of earth. If only one or two people could walk with so many people of earth... it seems like they are still blessed with a strange relationship, called a bloodsucking species and a good spirit of fire. "
It's Vanille who talks in a stunning tone, but I think the fire dragon in front of her as a realuse is also kind of eccentric. Rather, it would be the most bizarre of all.
"There's so much going on... Calvin?
"Oh, wow... I didn't suspect you, but you really knew Fire Dragon."
It was Calvin who was stunned, but Reurus returned to me when he called. As intelligent as I am, I must have felt the difference between Vanier and the monster.
"This is Calvin. It's the dwarf who made my new partner."
The people of the earth... no, dare you call them dwarves. Indeed, the dwarf can make a weapon that can reach me... but how can we find so many dwarves?
Vernier leans his neck strangely, but Reurus prefers to lean his neck.
If you believe the rumor that you saw a dwarf on the west side of Mataroi, it was that nearly fifty dwarves lived in a settlement. I think it's strange to say that you were attacked by the "Castle Collapse".
"Uh... when I heard the rumor that there was a dwarf, I looked for it and found it. I didn't aim for anything else."
Exactly strange. And... hmm... don't smell dirt from your armor. It's not the fish around here, it's the smell of fine monsters. "
"Superior, or superior? I was attacked by a monster called" Castle Collapse. "So, I cut him with a fresh sword. The smell was stuck to his body. Isn't that the ore?
…………
Vanille's eyes can be narrowed to look at strange creatures. I understood Reurus' words, but I couldn't understand them.
"... have you become a Gregorian? A monster classified as advanced is not something you can meet when you want to meet him?
"I don't remember anything like that. I mean, I didn't want to see you either."
When I was about to meet him, I saw an advanced monster flying in front of me, but I didn't even touch Reurus.
Well, I'll leave that behind. So? I took the trouble to bring the dwarf closer to my territory. What can I do for you?
"In a word... an introduction to the destination?
That being said, Reurus explains the situation so far.
In the meantime, the dwarves, including Calvin, were nervous, but they would have to get used to it. Reurus also spoke casually, but his heart was nervous, and Sarah was the only one who was completely distracted.
I see... there was a high risk that the dwarf settlements would be found by humans due to the impact of the Castle Collapse. Besides, if the "Castle Collapse" came out, the Gregorians might sniff it up and stop by... and then “move.”
As Reus explained, Vaniel nodded convincingly. I don't feel disgusted when I hear about creating a new settlement inside or near the territory.
"That's why I came to talk to you who are making a territory around here...."
Hmm... well, Dwarf would be fine. What a handy technique. "
It is a more favourable reaction than I thought. It seems unlikely that you will be paid rent in a sacrificial sense.
However, I only give permission. There are many monsters living in my garden, but I won't complain if they attack me. "
"Oh, wow... we're here by ourselves. That's fine...
Calvin uses a strange salute, whether he is being drank by Vanille's majesty.
We need to protect ourselves from the monsters around us, but there are more than 30 dwarves in Laval and Madalo. If the “like-minded” monsters are so crowded, the other monsters will not be able to make a detour.
I think we're going to end this conversation more quickly than I expected. Were you wrong to think so, Vanille's eyes turned towards Reurus.
─ But don't you think your wish will come true without consideration?
"That's right... I knew it would come..."
Reurus sighs like he gave up in the middle of the day. I know you, but I'm not a close friend.
There is no consideration, and I don't think Reurus will accept the offer for free.
"It would be easier if it was paid... how much is the rent?
"Kuhahaha... you know what I mean?"
I'll fly a joke, but Vaniel just laughs in a good mood. Having heard the response, Reurus hoisted the edge of his mouth to inspire himself.
"It's time to avenge Oni-san's great sword... I'll put it down to three red lizards. Tell me exactly how it feels to be slashed with your own claws and scaled weapons."
F-hahahahahahahaha! Good, good! I've been waiting for you! It was a blinking time for me, but I couldn't wait!
Vernier laughs a lot, but his magic swells up as he laughs. The pressure alone caused several dwarfs to moan, but Reus reached out to the handle of the Great Sword without stepping back.
"Hey, are we gonna do this here?
No, it's a bad place here. If I take it a little seriously, the woods will burn out... "Last time” would be a good place. I'll be waiting for you.
That said, Vaniel leaves quietly with her wings flapping. Fighting now was avoided, but Reurus, who was waiting for his back, had to sigh.
"I've been slapping you a lot, but you won?
"I can't."
When Vanille left, Calvin asked him, but Reurus waved his hand in front of his face and answered immediately.
I suppose, but now that I have fought a monster that would be comparable to the advanced 'Castle Collapse' - I can see how monstrous Vernier is.
Even monsters classified as advanced would be pinky, but "Castle Collapse" would obviously be “lower”. In contrast, Vaniel is clearly “up”.
We have new weapons and armor. I could tear apart any opponent with a big red sword. I think so, but I won't have to struggle if I can win with that.
Last time I fought, I thought Vaniel would fly on that giant. In addition, there is no illusion that the movement is fast on the ground and slow because it is huge.
It's only natural that you have the physical abilities commensurate with that giant body. If you add "Enhancement" to it, it could move faster than Reurus with a massive body of dozens of meters.
I would not take the strategy of magically killing Vanille while flying in the sky, but if I didn't mind shaping it, it would be enough to win.
Vanille will not be able to compete unless she rides on Reurus's moat. However, even if we fight on the ground alone, there is little chance that Reurus will win.
(But I didn't see the “real” of this sword either...)
I used it to defeat "Castle Collapse", but the answer is no if I was asked if I did my best. At that time, Reurus was injured in the previous battle, and the magic could not be said to be perfect.
However, there is no lack of physical condition or magic now. Miracles can be won dozens of times in a row, but you don't have to rely on miracles to win - you should be able to win.
"I don't think you can do it... no, actually, I know relative, but" Castle Collapse "is not such a monster. Even if there are ten" castle collapses ", it looks like they're all going to be roasted..."
"... does that look like it to Calvin?"
Dwarves are also a powerful category of monsters in the middle class. If Calvin says so, there must be a difference.
The fact that Reurus has assembled weapons and armor makes it unlikely that we will be able to expect as much “slackening” as before. In the first place, none of the proper wounds were sustained in the last battle.
I beat her with the momentum of her right hand shattering, but it must have been no pain for Vanille. Though I was surprised, I was only surprised by the realisation of Reurus after declaring that I would hit him.
I can say that it is the cause and it has developed into this disturbance.
(Indeed, I think it would be better to fight ten "castle collapses" than to kill each other seriously with Vaniel....)
The Reurus can't win alone, but if the “conditions” are met, it looks like we can do a good fight. Reurus looked at Sarah with a breathtaking view of the direction Vanille flew away.
"Hmm? What? Reurus, what can I do for you? Oh, okay! You're telling me we're going to beat Vanille to pieces, right?
"Oh, that's right. I need Sarah's help."
"Yeah, I know. I don't know if it's nice or cold these days, but it's also a strange feeling of reassurance to be rejected cold!?
Sarah opened her eyes and screamed at Reurus for his honest help.
