A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

--Back in time.

Reurus meets Neddy on a lonely island, shredding frozen slimes and roaming.

Eliza, who had separated herself from Reurus, had spoken with each other about future policy on a stranded ship.

Of course, it was Sarah, Gilba, and Meer who spoke together. Eliza was stunned and barely reacted when she spoke.

"The rain and wind have calmed down a little, and the weather will recover tomorrow. Let's move on to Valdi at dawn."

"That's right... when Reurus gets to the shore, you can pick him up from here when you're close enough to feel the magic."

"If Gilba were with us, would the adventurers get into Valdi...?

Luckily, the luggage in the cabin was safe. The flooding did not cause it to flood, nor was it stolen by anyone.

Funds to purchase the water's "jewels", each outfit, and the owner's missing Reurus armor. The shock on the beach caused the armor to roll to the floor, but it was not so soft as to break.

I planned to pack all the unscratched armor in a rainproof cloth and carry it on my back. Meer, the dwarf, is the best at handling weapons and armor.

The Captain says there are no streets nearby, but if we continue along Lake Mersena, we will naturally arrive at Valdi. The current location of the details is unknown, so we don't know how far we can get to Valdi, but we should be there within a day's walk.

After the weather recovers, the captains will repair the ship and make their way to Valdi through Lake Mersena. Gilba and the others wanted to eliminate the water shortage in Laval Waste Town, so we went to Valdi one step ahead to find the "jewels" of water and become the users of water magic.

Confirm your upcoming plans and spend the day waiting for the rain clouds to pass. I fall asleep as soon as the sun goes down because there is little light.

Then, by dawn, the thick rain clouds had passed, and the sunshine was peeking at her face for the first time in a few days. There is a unique darkness at dawn, but even if you look up at the sky, there is no rain cloud.

Zilba and the others set out for Valdi as soon as they had breakfast ready. I don't think so, but if Reurus had arrived earlier, he wouldn't have been in town.

When the “incident the other day” happened, she sometimes woke up and there were very few items worn by Reurus. "Dragon Slash", dagger, and a small compartment wrapped around the waist. I checked the remaining luggage and found that all the wallet types are left.

In other words, Reurus doesn't even have one yura now. You'll need to pay a security deposit to get into every city, including Valdi, and you won't be able to enter without it.

Normally, the risk of starvation should be taken into account over and above the lack of money. Or it could be enough to be attacked by a monster outside town to kill - but nobody was worried about “that point.”

There was a serious feeling of trust that seemingly seemed faint that if it were a revus, it would be killing the monsters around it and not eating them.

"... alright! Come on, let's go to Valdi! Reurus must be on his way to Valdi!

By the time she was on her way to Valdi, Eliza, who had been depressed until then, had regained her vitality.

It's been two days since we got off the Reus, but Sarah's not gone supports Reus' survival.

No matter how long it took, if two days had passed, it would have reached some land. Then all we can do now is get to Valdi as fast as a second and greet the Reurus that will be on our way.

Eliza, who had concluded so, tried to run away bravely.

"Hey! Not that way! Eliza didn't hear anything about last night!?

"Eliza-chan... Valdi is this way.

Sarah hugged Eliza and stopped trying to rush in the direction the day after tomorrow, pointing Meer in the direction of travel with a bitter smile. Eliza stopped moving and looked at Gilba with her face red.

"It seems like you're feeling better. Just don't go ahead by yourself. We need to protect Eliza and the others more than Mr. Reurus gave us."

Gilba, who took Eliza's gaze, said with a small, bitter smile. Eliza's “Avoidance of Monsters” helps her avoid lower-level monsters, but it's nothing more.

Plus, monsters aren't the only ones in danger. If there were bandits nearby, they wouldn't be able to avoid us like junior monsters. With Sarah able to detect the heat source, you'll notice that bandits are approaching, but never in the world.

After a bitter smile and stunned gaze from her surroundings, Eliza shrank herself - but still walked towards Valdi.

In addition to poor scaffolding in the immediate aftermath of heavy rain, unfamiliar land. Even under such adverse conditions, he arrived at Valdi in the evening of the day he left the grounded vessel.

Continue along Lake Mersena to reach the Leté River, which meets Lake Mersena. And when we went back to the Leté River, the town, Valdi, existed.

Like Cadare, Valdi is shaped like an integrated castle city and river port. The size is similar to that of Kadare because it is the starting and ending point of the "Leté River descent” in Mataroi.

"Have you recently seen an adventurer come to the gate carrying a great sword? I'm about 15 years old, and I'm a low-level adventurer with red-brown hair."

Arriving at Valdi, Zilba asks for permission to pass. The gate soldier was afraid of the style of Zilba and his name, but he shaken his head to the side of the inquiry.

"Hmm... I see. Well... it's called Reurus, but if you come to the gate, can you tell the church? We are spiritual guests."

Gilba smiles and says "please”, and the gate soldiers nod while pulling their cheeks. We can't just walk through the gates on the street, but we decided it would be okay.

--I was never overwhelmed by Zilba's smile.

"Let's start by staying overnight at church. The spirituals in this town are familiar with me, and I can count on your help. I wish I could find a water 'jewel' or a water magician..."

There must be a little information around here, and it would be more accurate and quicker to borrow the church's information network than to search the dark clouds. Zilba prompted her, and Eliza and the others dived through Valdi's gates.

"Come on, I don't think I'll be comfortable when I get into town..."

As she stepped into the town of Valdi, Sarah murmured in a soft tone.

Even if it rains, the ground is muddy, making it as difficult to walk as outside the town. For the first time in a long time, many people came and went, or the rain-sucking ground was pinched and rolled around, and it was soft enough to bury it halfway through the shoes with just one step.

"I'm sure you're safe around here, but maybe the water from the Leté River came into town."

Jilba gazed at the distance beside Elizabeth, who was easily caught in the mud on the ground. It's a long way to Valdi's river port, but even if it's far away, there's still a lot of noise.

The town of Valdi was built higher than the river port in case of overflowing water on the Leté River, but the heavy rain this time raised the water level on the Leté River than expected. As a result, it is possible that the area near the river port was flooded.

Gilba thought that she would like to help with the reconstruction work if she could, but she shook her head recalling the situation in which they were placed.

"Shall we go to church first?"

That's how he encouraged Eliza and the others to go to Valdi's church.

The day after dawn.

Tired of staying overnight at the church, Eliza left Valdi and walked along the Leté River, again heading for Lake Mersena.

Eliza and the others don't have to run around town because they are asking Valdi's church for help with the water's "jewels" and water magic. Instead, it is likely that Eliza, the Adventurers, will not succeed in gathering information.

When that happens, Eliza and the others focus their actions on finding the separated Reurus.

Because there is a trusted depository called the church, funds were deposited for the purchase of "treasure balls" for travel and water. In case of sudden weather changes, the rainbow gear will be packed into the backpack for the number of people, as well as food and wallets, and the most physically capable Gilba will move around.

If Reurus is alive, wait in Valdi. She couldn't wait for what she thought, and in addition, there was one “problem," so Eliza and the others stepped back to Lake Mersena under the Zilba pull.

The magical connection with the Reus is still not revived, but if we get close to the distance where the magic reaches by the "contract", the place where the Reus is will be somewhat narrowed down.

As we discovered when we arrived in Valdi, the heavy rains the other day caused damage to some of the ships that were in the river port.

Whether each rope holding the ship will be overflowed by turbidity or damaged by collisions between the ships. Some of the ships were sunk when flowing driftwood struck the ship directly and punctured the hull.

As a result of the damage to the ship, Eliza and the others also encountered serious problems.

The Leté River “meets” Lake Mersena. In other words, there is a possibility that Reurus is floating across the river Leté by boat from Valdi.

On the Valdi side, however, the damage to the ship was noticeable, so we could not cross the Leté River for at least a few days. Even though it rained, the flow of the Leté River has not settled down, and even if you want to go to the opposite bank, the flow of the Leté River will push you to Lake Mersena.

As a result, Eliza and the others began their search, hoping that Reurus would reach the shore on Valdi's side. If it had floated on the other side of Valdi, it would not have been possible to cross the Leté River with a Reurus without money.

Eliza and the others thought it was possible to swim across in the case of Reurus.

"What? Someone's approaching... two sources of heat... humans?

Sarah spoke with surprise as she walked along the shores of Lake Mersena, hoping that magic would lead to Reurus.

Sarah turned to the “downstream” side of Lake Mersena. By the way, the trees were growing and their vision was blocked, but Sarah's senses were well aware of two sources of heat.

"Did the captains come to buy repair materials...?

After hearing Sarah's voice, Meer leaned her neck. I wondered if the reinforcements that had been loaded on the flooded ship would suffice.

"The two of us have the potential to be travelers."

Gilba stood in front of Eliza and her voice was cut off unexpectedly. At the same time, even though it's over your back, Zilba sends out an imminent killer.

The killing density was enough to shake Eliza's bodies, who were unfamiliar with the Shura area.

"Hey, Jilba? What's the matter with you all of a sudden? Honestly, I'm pretty scared!?

Sarah, who felt Zilba's murder, raised her voice to protest, but Zilba never looked back. It's just a sharp lethargy with countless needles.

"... Eliza, take Sarah and Meer to Valdi... No, I can't. They're capturing us too."

That way, Zilba puts her luggage down on the ground and becomes lighter. Subsequently, he opened and closed his hands several times, then turned his neck to see how he was feeling and made a tingling sound.

"If it comes true, I'd like to preempt it with Sara-sama's flame magic... can you burn down that forest?

"Why are you suddenly saying such things!? It's too bad for a joke!

Sarah screamed with her eyes peeled at Zilba, who spoke in a serious voice.

Whether it is possible or impossible, it is probably possible. The trees are wet due to the heavy rain the other day, but it should not be impossible to burn them out if you use all your flame magic.

But I'm not going to burn down the woods without a reason, Sarah. If Reurus says so, we can burn it down, but that will turn out to be a big problem.

"Yeah, I'm kidding... I wouldn't have to struggle if they were to die that way."

Gilba groans. The gaze is directed towards the back of the upheaval trees.

"It's embarrassing that there's no Reurus....."

"Er... I don't know what it is..."

Obviously turning to combat, Eliza leaned her neck with her favorite wand. Regardless of Eliza, Meer's contact with Gilba is thin. That's why I don't understand what happened from Zilba's behavior.

"Arm yourself, Meer. Don't let Gilba react so far... they're definitely Gregorian."

"Gregorianism...."

When Eliza urged her to hold the weapon, Meer frowned. Dwarf, Meer, was a Spirit, and among the Spirits, he believed strongly in the Spirit of Fire.

Meer's fathers, Calvin and others, value the convenience of fire, but what Meer has is a weak and sure faith. And even in such a mea, I know that spiritualism is hostile to Gregorianism.

As a spiritualist, it used to be a group of monsters with extremely dangerous doctrines for Dwarf Meer.

"Mmm... Gilba's right. They're coming straight this way. If there was a Reurus, I'd know if there was magic..."

Wizards can tell if there is magic between them, but the distance they can feel magic is short. Not if the opponent was using powerful magic, but at least Sarah didn't feel anything other than a heat source.

"No... the opponent is sure to use magic. It's not a group, it's a minority, and if you're acting with just two people, you can nod that you're here."

"... what does that mean?

Eliza, holding her staff tightly, questioned Zilba with confidence.

"Probably two priests trying to defeat an advanced monster and promote him to bishop, and two bishops who supervise him… I've been at war with two of those pairs before."

While explaining this, Gilba felt like talking to herself.

As I explained to Reurus once, bishops are in a position where only those who have defeated advanced monsters can take office. More than defeating advanced monsters, they are all skilled and compatible, but whoever they are will not be spared the struggle.

In addition to those bishops, there are priests who have been judged to have the ability to become bishops - that is, to defeat advanced monsters.

I regret the absence of Reurus here. Jilba thought so from the bottom of her heart. If Reurus had been here, I would have left the priest to him.

"Gilba's mistake meant a normal traveler....."

"Am I mistaking Gregorians for travellers? That's impossible."

Gilba answers Sarah's words with a smile. However, the tone of voice is not even a dust smile.

I can assure my soul that that is impossible. The enemy is approaching - a formidable enemy.

"If you can feel multiple magical powers... it's a big unexpected thing"

"Wow... there were four people who really had magic... how do you feel? I'm so close, I can finally feel it."

Gilba was right, they must have noticed Eliza and the others were there. Two men and women appeared from the upright trees, but when they saw Eliza and the others, they exchanged words with ease.

"Polish your intuition more. That way, you can feel the magic, even if it's a little bit far away, even if the opponent is suppressing the magic... but your luck seems bad this time."

"Guess how do I polish it... it's not like I can brush it with my mind, is it? Would you stop saying that I'm always in bad luck?

The men and women who appeared in front of Eliza stopped at a distance of about 30 meters.

A woman with glossy black hair stretching all the way to her waist. He was about half a centimeter tall and at first glance had a gentle smile - but his narrowed red eyes felt a strange sense of intimidation. Although it is beautiful, I have a strong feeling of pity.

Judging by appearance alone, she's older than Eliza or Meer, but she hasn't reached twenty. She wore “strange clothes" that she had never even seen Eliza living in her childhood.

She wore a layered white garment and fastened it above her waist using a thick red band. is wearing pants that are dark blue from the waist to the bottom. I was wearing a grass knitted “something” instead of shoes.

If there had been a realuse here, I would have been surprised to see it open. The woman wore a kimono similar to that of a kimono, because the footwear was a footbag and a grass shoe. Extremely, it is a two-swing Japanese sword-like object that appears on the waist and back.

Compared to such a woman, the other man is plain. There is nothing strange about clothing. Unlike women's black hair, the messy red hair is also commonly seen in the abandoned city of Laval. Age looks like the first half of twenty cars, and the appearance is not characteristic.

Metal armor that protects the heart and other critical areas, not as long as Gilba, but more than half a centimeter long. Close to the adventurer by appearance, with nails and toenails to protect your arms and feet.

However, the air surrounding it is not for the adventurer. Though somewhere in the world, my eyes seemed to have a hard will like steel. He is lowering a curved sword to his waist, but the handle is worn off to show that it is being used.

"Are you sure you're unlucky? I should be looking for an advanced monster, but more importantly, I will find a very troublesome opponent among spirituals."

"I feel bad about the air, but is it that troublesome?

A man asks a woman who giggles, but neither of them is out of sight of Gilba. At the very least, Eliza and the others could not see any gaps in the conversation.

"Yeah... they're killing two bishops anyway. I fought once, but I almost got killed. They're not monsters, but they're monsters."

"Ugh... so that old man is the" rabid dog "? The territory is south of Mataroi, right? Why are you in such a place...."

Hearing women's words changes men's gaze. His eyes were passing a mad light, spitting out words that were easy to understand.

"--I don't think monsters are such a thing."

Gishiri, the air raises the temper. Zilba's lethal spirit swells up to echo that murmur.

Right in front of you is Zilba's grudge - one of the top Gregos.

Instead of saying one step, Eliza, who was sheltered behind her, took two, three, and backwards.

"Since you defeat the bishop with your bare hands, isn't it reasonable to call him a monster?

The woman says that it is not an incitement, but a sincere word. It was the man standing next to her, not Zilba, who responded to the woman's remarks while tilting her head.

"Bishop, Bishop, that old man really sucks. He said he was too murderous to be convinced that he was a superior human monster."

"If it was a monster, it would have been just right for your promotion exam... would it have killed you? Besides, it doesn't matter how much humans defeat each other."

"Then you run away? I can't believe you want me to prioritize the exam..."

Having said that, the man's right hand is stretching to the pattern of a curved sword lowered to his hips. But a woman stepped forward to control such a man's movements.

"There's no reason to defeat him, but there's no reason to miss him... after all, dozens of people have been killed just for the sacrifice? Laurent, I've got the kids in the back."

"Oops, I see you're an adventurer, but should I slash you?

A man named Laurent looked at Eliza and the others. The woman watched Eliza and the others while watching Zilba, but quickly shook her head aside as if she had lost interest.

"... no, you don't have to. The magic is quite good, but it seems like“ that's all ”, so please play with it appropriately. I don't need Rabies to back me up."

Copy that.

After listening to the woman's instructions, Laurent pulls out the curved sword. The blade span was about 60cm and was only a little short, but the sword was wide and the thickness of the blade could be seen.

Laurent walks out in a casual manner. The gaze was out of Zilba's sight, watching only Eliza, Sarah, and Meer's behavior.

Because I'm sure the woman we're working with will stop Gilba.

"... Eliza-san, I don't think they're going to kill you. Hold your fire until I arrive."

Gilba bites her teeth without breaking them and flies her instructions to Eliza, staring at the woman. Unfortunately, Laurent was right.

While protecting Eliza and the others, it could be pushed out. Even with magical support, bishops and bishop-like priests won't be able to turn. For that reason, I had to ride the other person's temptations.

I won't lose one-on-one, but I can't be sure I can win. Until then, the woman in front of me was a tough enemy.

"It's been a long time..." That's a funny story. It's been five years... "Thank you for that passage."

…………

Without responding to the woman's words, Zilba sat down silently and took a stand. Your left hand opens and protrudes, and your right hand forms a fist at your waist. The woman smiled slightly at Zilba's posture.

"It seems that there is no need to ask questions. No, no, I'm in trouble. I'm in trouble."

That's how a woman reaches out to her second sword. The right hand was extended to the hip knife and the left hand was extended to the back knife over the right shoulder, and the handle was tightened with a loose movement.

The distance between Gilba and the woman is about ten meters, but it is also a distance that can be filled with breath from each other. The woman also pulls out the two blades and exposes the blade so as to respond to Jilba who took the stand.

"Graigo, Bishop number three. I'm going to the" Double Flash. "

That's what she said - Kanna laughed ferociously.
