A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The wet sandy beach is made to sound like something dragging by the pouring rain.

Most of them were scratched off by the sound of rain hitting the ground and lake surface and the sound of wind blowing, but still the cheating and dragging of heavy objects sounded.

"Nhh... nhh..."

…………

In addition to the sound of dragging, I heard voices that made me feel young. However, the object that is dragged by the sound of dragging and the voice of someone - Reurus - does not react.

The whole body was relaxed and left dragged. His face is bloody and he doesn't move a single thing. On the contrary, even my breathing seems to have stopped.

"Get out."

"Hmm!?

The body of Reurus trembled loudly in some voice. Within a few seconds, the mouth of Reurus opens, and a lot of water flows out “on its own.”

"Nh, hah!? Whoa, whoa, whoa! Oh, uh, eh... what is it!?

Reurus, who discharged water as if his body had become a drainage pump, looked around without grasping the situation.

Why are you spitting a lot of water out of your mouth and why are you unconscious? Reurus' body seeks oxygen as if it had forgotten to breathe, and while breathing heavily and deeply, Reurus deepens the confusion.

(Is that it? What have I been doing...)

My consciousness has become clear, but I don't understand the current situation. Reurus, who woke up, looked down at his body and leaned his neck strangely.

Wearing no armor, the top and bottom clothes and shoes, the dagger worn on the back of the waist and the leather compartment wrapped around the waist. A sheathed sword of love rolls a little further away.

The clothes I was wearing were thick because I went to a cold place, but now they were wet with water and stuck to my skin. It's like I've been swimming alone in my clothes.

"... ah"

Reurus remembered his situation very late.

He jumped into the rough Lake Mersena to help Eliza fall off the ship, threw Eliza aboard, and then fought the monster.

I was swimming too far away from the ship to see the direction and feel the magic.

"... am I alive?

Unexpectedly, Reurus muttered in such a state.

When I traced my memory, I remembered that the magic I had turned to "Caloric Liberation" ran out and swimmed on my own. However, there was no benefit from Eliza or Sarah's "contract," and the situation was too bad for her to swim on her own in the true sense.

The weight of the love sword carried by the clothes that became heavy after inhaling water. Lake Mersena is rough with rain and wind. I was able to swim at first even when I cut "calorie release", but I remember moving my hands and feet to “not sink” rather than swimming within five minutes.

Fatigue and cold make your hands and feet immobile. I thought I should abandon my love sword and survive, but it was already too late, and I drank water and sank into the water.

I don't know how many times I've felt in my life, signs of death. As in the previous life, when I actually lost my life, I thought this was no good anymore, and then I lost my memory.

- But he's alive.

Even though the weight of the Sword of Love meant nothing but immersion in the water, Reurus was able to sit down on the beach and think hard.

In fact, there is no such thing as a dead soul. Even if the body feels dull due to the cold, the cold rain that falls and the feeling of hitting the body are transmitted.

(Your body moves... but you have little magic...)

Is it because I was pushed one step closer to drowning, or because my magic is running out? Just lifting my arm is a terrible billionaire. My body, which was exhausted by magic, was about to lose consciousness if I was unconscious, and if I lost consciousness now, I would fall asleep forever.

But Reurus is still alive. My body was difficult to move, but when I put my hand on my heart, I felt my heart beat.

(... wait, why are you alive?

Reurus raised his eyebrows, saying that he should have been submerged in the water. It's not like your body moved on its own after you lost consciousness.

I think life is bad, but if the unconscious body moves on its own, it's more of a horror than a human miracle. If athletes and other athletes just repeat the motions that are stained with their bodies, it is unlikely that they will be able to continue swimming to shore without consciousness.

…………

"Hmm!?

In that case, it was a Reurus who looked around, wondering what it was, but when he turned to the back, someone stood there.

You just got back from the abyss of death, or were you too cold and dull? There was a girl standing about a metre behind the waking Reurus.

"Eh... ah, come on, what about you?

Reurus shouted at the girl who stared silently.

The girl is young, and if she were to judge by her face alone, she would be no different in age from Eliza and the others. Although she looks cute, she also gives a cold impression because she is silent.

The bluish hair that stretched to the back seemed clear, and even though it was raining heavily, it drew a curve.

The height of the girl is slightly lower than that of Eliza and Sarah and higher than that of Meer. I wrapped a light blue cloth on my body that was raised and lowered - a cloth that should be regarded as a feather coat - and replaced it with clothes, but when I looked at my feet, it was barefoot.

(What is it, this kid...)

While staring back at the girl's blue eyes, Reurus is confused inside.

I don't feel hostile, but it doesn't look like I'm interested in Reurus. After careful exploration, the girl felt the magic, so I don't think it's just a girl.

(Eh... you're really dull. This kid's pretty strong....)

I don't know if it's because I just woke up or because I'm not hostile to the girl, but by checking closely, Reus realizes the amount of magic the girl has.

The amount of magic is not directly related to the strength, but the girl felt more magic than Eliza. Still, it has a transcendent atmosphere, and I feel close to Sharon, a senior adventurer, as a person close to Reurus.

"Did you help me?

…………

"I'm Reurus the Adventurer. What about you?"

…………

I called because I didn't feel hostile, but there was no response. The girl just stared at the revus and did not return a word.

I thought the monster would be able to communicate with the other person if the words could make sense, but it would be really troublesome if there was no response.

Though I thought maybe you didn't understand Comona, but I was unresponsive enough to wonder if you listened to me before the words didn't make sense.

(... you're alive, right?

I didn't react enough to think of such a thing. Reurus waves his hand in front of his eyes to check the girl's consciousness, and the girl leans her neck small.

Apparently conscious, Reurus was relieved. The reaction was not serious enough to relieve him, but Reurus clattered that the girl in front of him might have helped him.

"You helped me, didn't you? Thank you, thank you."

It was hard to get up, but Reurus managed to get up and lower his head. There's no one else around - as thin and magical as ever.

When Reurus lowers his head, the girl reaches out to see what he thinks. Then I slapped Reurus' cheek and nodded small. Looking at something, the girl's face seemed to be satisfied.

The girl took her gaze away from Reus as she ran to the Dragon Slasher.

The girl tried to grasp the pattern of the Dragon Slash, but stopped her hand and watched the Dragon Slash before Reurus stopped, tilted her neck to the left and right, then grabbed the sheath. And I thought maybe I lifted it without worrying about the weight, so I went back to Reurus.

It would have been dangerous if I had grasped the pattern instead of the sheath, but I might have noticed the “security function” that was set on the "Dragon Slash".

"Er... thank you?

Upon receiving the offered Dragon Slash, the girl nodded again with satisfaction. The expression has hardly changed, but a slight change is noticeable due to the proximity to the faceless expression.

(Is he human or is he a monster... if he is a monster, is he using "change"? Or like a dwarf?

Because Reurus is responding to the words of thanks he said, I don't suppose they don't make sense. I wasn't conscious, but I felt like I heard a girl's voice somewhere far away.

"This way."

I was wondering if I could speak a word, but the girl spoke out to overturn the question. And when you start walking without waiting for a response from Reurus, you take a few steps before stopping and looking back.

He just told me to follow him quickly, and Reurus, who raised his face, walked out with a 'Dragon Slash' on his back.

(Gu... your body is heavy...)

But I almost fell down just one step away. The Dragon Slasher is also heavy, but her body is exhausted and lacks magic. In addition, by returning to the physical ability of vegetables, the sense of “so far” was greatly skewed.

Step by step, walk on the ground to avoid falling. That alone was a struggle, but the girl didn't say anything about the slowness of Reurus' feet and waited quietly to catch up.

It may be dangerous to follow an unfamiliar girl, but there are unlimited options for a current revulsion. At least there is no hostility from the girl, and Reurus believes in his senses and follows the girl's lead.

I didn't notice it because of the rain and the poor vision, but the trees were growing as I passed through the beach. Although the number is not so large, it seems that in winter the rain legs are weakened by the “natural roof” with leaves.

(Does that mean the trees were swimming near the shore? But you didn't encounter any monsters... were you just lucky?

If I'm lucky, I may not be in this situation, but I'm distracted about that.

It was a realuse that slowly followed the girl's lead, but the girl's feet stopped when she arrived at her destination.

There was a tree that was actually larger than the surrounding tree. The tree is nearly three meters thick, and the ground is stretched with grain and roots. The height of the tree was not so high, and branches stretching in all directions played most of the rain.

"This way."

When a girl spinning the same words turned behind the tree, there was a big hole. I can't confirm the details because of poor vision, but it looks like there's grass or straw in the cave.

What kind of intention did you bring me here? When Reurus looks at the girl strangely, the girl returns with the same strange gaze as Reurus.

"Go ahead."

Huh?

"Go ahead."

The girl points to the sinus and prompts some action, but she doesn't know how to react as a revulsion.

Does it mean putting it in the sink, or does it mean something else? If you put the Dragon Slash outside the hole, it would be big enough for Reurus to fall asleep.

"Okay."

A girl who was staring at a reel that would never enter the cavity, but eventually came up with something to close her distance from the reel. The girl placed her right hand on the wet clothes of Reurus, who was still struggling to react because of the lack of hostility.

Reurus was a little wary of what he was going to do, but noticed the “anomaly” that happened to him immediately.

(Is this... clothes dry?

Water drains rapidly from the waters of Lake Mersena and clothes that were wet enough to drip with rain. It was a revulsion of what was happening, but at some point a lump of water had been created in the girl's right hand.

As the girl waves her hand, she flies farther away and shatters it with a flashy sound of water. When Reurus rushed to check his body, all the excess moisture that was stuck to his body disappeared from his clothes and shoes.

(Did you drain the water that got soaked in your clothes? What kind of technique is magic?

It was a silent revulsion, but the girl pointed to the sinus without worrying about it.

"It's not cold now. The beds don't get dirty with water."

Apparently, Reurus didn't get into the hole because it was cold and wet. Even so, I don't know how to react to the hand of the girl who quickly removed the water.

"... who the hell are you?

There is no hostility, but it doesn't seem to be full of goodwill. The appearance of acting indifferently seemed like a robot, and Reurus asked with a slightly stiffer voice tone.

"I am nothing but me."

However, the girl's response is incomprehensible.

Without a name, the girl who stared quietly could only see the sky covered in rain clouds in trouble.
