A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Lake Mercena was sunny like a storm a few days ago.

The gentle winds and slight waves on the lake's surface make the scenery sparkling with the sun so pleasant that it can be called a scenic spot.

Several rivers flowing into Lake Mersena, including the Leté River, also seem to have regained their calm or not to generate turbid currents.

Temperatures are low due to the winter season, but the sun feels warm for that. If the situation is different, it will be an elegant water excursion and a stylish place.

--As long as the situation is different.

"That bastard's coming after me... Neddy, can you speed it up a little bit?

"... I'll do my best"

An icy canoe filled with two people. Reurus, who was in the rear and checking the rear, murmured and Neddy, the blue girl, manipulated the flow of water to speed up the ship.

Beyond the rear view, the surface of the water rises irregularly to follow the rear view. The slime jumped into Lake Mersena after the Reurus who escaped the island, but they are still chasing us.

There was a distance and the slime's body was colorless and close to transparent, so it could not be seen, but it was definitely because of the appearance of the raised water surface and the huge magic that followed.

(It doesn't seem like swimming on the water, but it's troublesome to be able to move underwater...)

Neddy's canoe is better at moving at speed, but being followed by a giant slime is mentally oppressive. If Neddy does his best, he'll feed on the slime.

A giant slime followed behind the canoe, evoking the memory of the previous life. Whether it was a movie attacked by a pigeon or something, she murmured inside to escape reality.

"Neddy, are you okay with your magic?

"... yeah, I still have it. I'll be fine until we get to shore... maybe."

Neddy replies late, but is he that focused, or is he unfamiliar with the name Reurus thought of?

With Neddy's focus on manipulating the water flow on his ass, Reurus checks his surroundings. Although the weather has recovered and visibility is good, Lake Mersena is very large. As far as Reurus could confirm, except for the isolated islands, there was only water around and no land could be seen.

Still, given the speed of the canoe as it sprays up the water, it shouldn't be that far to the shore of Lake Mersena. If there was a problem, it would be difficult to get to the shore and meet Eliza and the others, depending on the location.

(Do you still feel the magic of Eliza and Sarah? There is a slime on the back, so it may be too difficult to feel)

Perhaps you can't feel the magic well in a feed slime without a feed wolf. Neddy's speeding up the boat keeps us slightly apart, but the slime is precisely following Reurus and the others.

(I don't think I have eyes... do you feel the magic? Or is it possible that you have some other sensory organ... the Nucleus is replacing your eyes?

Reus struggled with the slime to trace where Reus and the others had gone. Maybe a monster named Slime is obsessed with a confronted prey, or is he obsessed with it?

Thanks to Neddy, the distance from the slime gradually fades away, but as a Reurus, I think I need to join Eliza and the others as soon as possible.

"Neddy, would you mind heading towards the Leté River, if possible?

She's separated from Eliza, but she's probably in or around Valdi, her destination. Expecting Eliza and Sarah's magic to be felt a little closer, Reurus begged Neddy.

"... where?

But I never thought I'd get off the island, and I didn't think I'd get through to Neddy. If you think about Reurus slightly, you say something that might be helpful.

"Ah... maybe the biggest river flowing into Lake Mersena...?

I don't think there are many large rivers along the Leté River. Given the size of Lake Mersena, the possibility is not zero, but Reurus has decided to bet on those who do not exist outside the Leté River.

"Okay. I'll go where the flow is."

That said, the course of the canoe changed. I don't know if it's really possible, but I think I'm going to be Neddy and respond to Reurus' request.

Good boy - Reurus thinks so.

The same goes for keeping the slime frozen without risking your own danger, but the attitude to alert the slime of the threat and let the human escape at all. As a revulsion, it seemed a little dazzling.

(It's possible that I really only know that....)

Maybe it's before personality. If that's the case, it's all you need to know in the future, and to do that, you need to defeat the slime.

(But Neddy's gonna slime... and Eliza's gonna get mad at me.)

Anyway, Neddy wouldn't be happy to bring the slime.

Sarah laughs and flushes, and Mea is relieved that Reus is back safely before she gets angry. It's a mystery how Gilba reacts, but at least Eliza seems angry.

However, if we don't meet again, we won't be able to confirm it. As usual, Reus sighed deeply as he glanced at the slime that was chasing him with hostility.

"Nh! You! Neddy, go away!

Nearly an hour had passed since we left the island, and the slime, which was gradually pulling away, was no longer visible. Reurus raised his voice to capture the “connected” feeling of magic in himself.

Weak and thin enough to make a mistake - but certainly proof of Eliza's "contract" with Sarah. Reurus, who felt the magic flowing in, felt that the weight of the love sword he was carrying was gradually becoming lighter.

When Reurus gave direction, Neddy followed it silently. However, he immediately stared at Reurus' face and inclined his neck strangely.

"... getting stronger”?

"Hmm? Ah, there's magic coming from two of our people who have a contract."

Reurus answers by deciding if it is pointing to an increase in magic, even though he is a little caught up in Neddy's question. Neddy was tilting his neck for a few seconds, but he turned around to see if he was satisfied with Reurus' response.

"Almost there."

"Ahh... thank God you're alive."

Reurus also turned his gaze to the front of the canoe. There's still a distance, but I can already see the land. All we have to do is rendezvous with Eliza and take care of the slime.

(It's going to be hard to get rid of it... but with Eliza's lightning magic...?

Sarah's flame magic won't go well with it. Unless you can use Vanilla-like flame magic, you don't have to force Sarah to do it, as long as Eliza can use lightning magic. Of course, I need you to help me “scrape” the slime.

"... hmm? Eliza and the others are moving?

Reurus was looking for a solution to the slime, but he noticed that Eliza and Sarah's magic was moving. Although there is still a distance to go, the canoe is heading straight for Eliza's magic, as directed by Reurus.

That said, Eliza and the others are moving at a speed that we can tell from a distance.

They must have noticed the magical connection is back. Maybe he's running in a hurry to welcome Reurus.

(I was worried about you... well, I guess you're worried about me because I'm taking you down to the rough Lake Mersena and then I'm taking you back to the slime.)

Regardless of what happened to Eliza, Reurus doesn't know what happened to the latter. I thought Neddy had helped me, and I had to face the frozen slime.

Kimira, the Blood Dragon, the Spirit of Fire, the Fire Dragon, and the Dwarf called "Castle Collapse", and now it's a slime. Reurus can only laugh bitterly that he will only see a variety of species in less than a year.

(... did you lose your mind knowing you could see Eliza and the others?)

Reurus laughs slightly when he realizes the “relaxation” of thought, even though it is Neddy who does not control the canoe. I'm sure you're so happy to be able to reunite with Eliza and the others as you feel relieved by the current state of affairs being pursued by Slime.

"Neddy, do you have magic on the shore?

"... yeah, it's okay."

When Reurus asks to be careful, Neddy nods after thinking a little. The amount of magic that Neddy could feel was decreasing even as a revus, but it wasn't a lie because it didn't look like it was poking at the bottom.

This will get us to shore, explain the situation to Elizabeth and intercept the slime - I thought so.

(I'll be on the shore in a bit... hmm?

She continued to feel the magic of Eliza and Sarah, but what seemed to be far away was not Valdi, her original destination. Instead of the town of Valdi, there are no artifacts around it, just the sandy beaches facing Lake Mersena.

Behind the sandy beach are trees with poor visibility. Still, Eliza and Sarah's magic is getting closer.

"... arrived"

When she wondered what was going on, Neddy murmured small. Then, the boat slows down gradually and climbs onto the beach.

Instead of being an isolated island on Lake Mersena, we have returned to decent land.

"Thank you, Neddy. But I'm sorry to have to hurry, but I'm moving over there."

…… Okay. "

Reurus, who jumped off an ice canoe, pushed Neddy out. Neddy followed suit and ran after Reurus.

--I have a strange chest trouble.

Apart from feeling the signs of a powerful monster, the sense of the sixth sense lights up a burning fire in the heart of the revulsion. There are no signs of monsters around, but is it an illusion that the magical connection with Eliza and Sarah is conveying the feeling of "anxiety”?

...... Us...... Reus! Can you hear me!?

As she was scratching through the woods, Sarah received a 'Call to Thought'. The voice makes Reurus stop, but Sarah's impatient voice pushes her back and doesn't stop moving.

Sarah! What's the matter, what happened?

I haven't heard Sarah's voice in a few days, but I don't think I have time to miss it. When Reurus asked for an explanation, Sarah answered with a choked voice.

Did you hear that? Good for you! Gilba is fighting right now... ahh! Don't come this way!

With his impatient voice, an explosion sounded in the distance. Reurus raised his eyebrows when he checked that Eliza and Sarah's magic matched the direction of the explosion.

Sarah's remarks and the sound of a good explosion were thought to be in a state of engagement.

"Ugh... sorry, Neddy!

We need to hurry a little. Reurus held Neddy on his back, using Eliza and Sarah's magic to strengthen her physical abilities.

Reus ran through the woods like the wind and jumped into the fields where streets and well-maintained roads passed. And look in the direction that Eliza and the others felt the magic.

"... who is it?

There was a woman fighting Zilba and a man fighting Eliza and the others.
