A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Gilba and Canna have no special “something" - a deep relationship, a family, an apprentice and a mentor.

It was only a matter of meeting by chance about five years ago and then proceeding to kill each other.

Gilba hates Gregorians from the bottom of her heart.

Canna rose to the bishop's seat when she was youngest.

Regardless of Kanna, Kanna can't be discarded from Zilba. Young, but slightly younger, girls are the bishops of Gregory.

How skillful will it be as you grow up? With that in mind, he couldn't leave it behind, and "then” he thanked coincidentally and Zilba was attacked. We took down the men we had brought in for a purpose, brought them into a one-on-one situation, and then challenged the fight.

It doesn't matter if the other person is a woman or a child from Zimbabwe. As long as the general public believes in Gregorianism, Canna is the Bishop of Gregorianism.

Age, gender, and appearance can be ignored on their own. No hesitation, no mercy, killing with special intent.

At least until then. That was and will be the case. I've taken down bishops, priests, chaplains, and dozens of Gregorians involved in combat.

But, but... If there is anything to note in the battle against Kanna at that time, it is.

--At that time, the battle against Kanna, under the age of fifteen, would have ended with "pain sharing.”

Jilba lowers her hips and takes a stand, and Kanna stands in a natural body with her two blades pulled out.

Kanna doesn't have a sword that long. Whether or not the sword reaches 60 centimeters in length, it is classified as a small dagger or a large flank.

From Zilba's perspective, there is no doubt that Kanna's two blades are a business. It won't even reach the "Dragon Slash" shaken by Reurus, but its sharpness and robustness can be inferred at a glance.

Since the sword is engraved with "magic letters", it is also a kind of magic instrument. That's what Jilba thinks - it's irrelevant.

No matter what the effect is, we just have to deal with it. Even if you're slashed, you can knock it down while it's being slashed. Instead of cutting meat and breaking bones, you just have to take your life.

Kanna, on the other hand, stood still in front of Jilba.

With a weapon, Kanna is better off with the size of the attack, even if it's of a different size. When comparing the killing power of bare hands and blades, the latter are "normally” armed.

But before us is Gilba.

A sharp slash with a blade will take care of it with a single blow, but so will Gilba. Rather, it has such a vicious attack force that it is likely to shatter parts that it touches without hitting an emergency. Of course, if you hit an emergency, you'll definitely die instantly.

The weapons in Kanna's hands are goods, but Gilba's body is a weapon and a murder weapon. It also has an attack method that makes you want to cheat and joke that even if you cover your body with sturdy armor, it will destroy your body over the armor.

"This tight air... no, I really miss it. You have a different kind of tension when confronted with a powerful monster. Five years later, I thought you'd fade, but I'm not surprised you're sharpened."

Canna dares to speak casually. I don't think Zilba will get into the conversation, but I hope she's a little unconscious.

…………

But, of course, Gilba won't answer. His deliberately narrowed eyes were just searching for a gap.

Once in a while, Kanna shook her dagger to induce Zilba to move, but it doesn't work for Zilba. In that case, I used my eyes, shoulders and feet to feint, but this didn't work either.

"Hmm... I can't get caught. I don't want you to talk as casually as Laurent, but I think you can react a little bit."

As always, Zilba doesn't say anything back. Ask for the gap and quietly calm your breath to avoid distraction.

Normally, it moves immediately and will be dealt with as quickly as possible. However, Jilba does not move, and keeps pointing to the future.

Thinking of Eliza and the others, we should get rid of Kanna and move on. I think so, but I can't move around.

In the past five years, Kanna has said that Jilba has been “sharpened.” But that also applies to Kanna.

Five years is a long time. Gilba was older than she was when she fought Canna. Already over forty years old, the body is decaying even as the technology is polished.

Compared to Gilba, Canna grew up pure. My body grew, my physical abilities improved, and my skills grew. If we add the experience we have cultivated over the past five years, Zilba is hardly an alarmist.

I want to finish it as soon as possible - but I don't think I can finish it in quick battle.

"But why are you here? Now... uh, Laval? Around this town is your territory, isn't it? And with three little girls... without spiritual necklaces, there's no way you're just going to walk with an adventurer."

…………

"Oh, I see! So they're all your children, right? Twins and sisters, three sisters... no, they're not all like you, sorry."

…………

Whether it was a provocation or a simple question, Kanna clashes her words while gauging her time with Zilba.

Still, Jilba kept quiet. When Kanna sharpened her lips in such a state of Zilba, she glanced at Eliza and the others with a distraction.

"They all have magic. Especially a red-haired girl with strong magic... hmm... an apprentice adventurer? A child with a similar face is junior, and the youngest child is junior middle? I don't really know the criteria for adventurers."

Although I lost sight of Jilba to induce him to move, Jilba never got caught in it. Just one step, a little bit, but a little closer to Canna.

Initially, they were facing each other at a distance of about ten meters, but slowly, but surely, the distance shrunk.

Jilba, too, but Kanna also had excellent physical abilities and was also an assistive magic user, starting with "strengthening". The distance of ten meters that originally existed is not a great distance from two people.

However, it does not cover the fact that there is a distance. Even if you can fill the distance with the “first step", it can lead to a gap if you try to fill the distance at once. Therefore, Kanna narrowed the distance little by little while throwing words, and Jilba silently narrowed the distance little by little.

The air tightens as the distance shrinks. Tingling and the sound of the air as if it was charging.

"... what a pity."

When the distance of the boyfriend shrunk to about five meters, Kanna murmured. As you approach this close, you will be stepped in while blinking, so you will be forced to hold the two blades while preserving your natural body.

Still, Kanna was smiling thinly. Gilba, who explores the gap with no expression, spares as she says and mixes a little bitterness with a smile.

"There's a lot of confusion, but it's not too late. Would you like to join Gregory?

――――

In response to Kanna's query, Jilba said nothing but silence. You can say that you were thrown a completely unexpected word. But there's no gap in Jilba. The stance was not shaken by the dust.

"With your strength, you will be welcomed as a bishop as an exception. There may be rebellions from the Archbishops, but in light of our doctrine, it should be convincing."

"I don't know," said Kanna. Was it a word from the heart, or was it a word to provoke Zilba's upset?

"I know your strength well. Even if you say you're old, you don't seem to have faded. How's it going? Why don't you do your best for the world with us?

Kanna throws words like a chase. Gilba, who accepted many of those words, kept silence - never.

"Fu... haha... hahahahahahahaha!

Jilba laughs as she breaks her stance and puts her hand on her head. I looked up so much as I could see the gap, but the gaze didn't move while I grabbed Kanna.

When she heard something interesting, Zilba laughed from the bottom of her heart that she had never made such a good joke.

Don't be ridiculous, little girl.

And at the next moment, the laughter disappears as if it had been a lie. Step on your right foot to relieve frustration, not to close the gap, and the ground sinks with the roar.

"Me” is a Gregorian, huh? If you want to talk about sleeping, I'll put you to sleep right now.

"Oh... I didn't mean to piss you off. No, this is the truth... oh, my God. I really want to put an end to it, but I don't want to be hostile to people as strong as you, because I really do... really can't?

Tilt your little head and take a cute look.

"In my personal opinion, these bishops and priests were murdered by you just because they were weak? I want to kill you because I need to be cut off any more, but I was wondering if it would be okay if you could pull me in."

Die! Die!

No further questions asked. Gilba moves without saying so. The distance between us is already less than three meters, and closing the distance will not lead to a gap.

There was no alarm or hesitation, and the whole body was spirited from the first shot. A right fist squeezed like a bow is thrown like a cannon, stepping into the ground without breaking it.

Though the arm shall be cut off, and the emergency shall be decided, but it shall not stop. It's a blow enough to convince you. Zilba's right fist approaches Canna at a rate that leaves the sound behind - but it doesn't hit.

"Wow... that was five years ago, but I don't hesitate to target the girl's stomach. If you don't avoid it, your guts will burst and penetrate, right?

Canna immediately retreated to Zilba when she stepped in. Instead of preparing for a match, Zilba's defenses do not make any sense to the opponent, even if it incorporates the premise and kills them. I don't think so, but even if I scratch my neck, it looks like I'm just going to attack my neck.

Therefore, Kanna chooses to evade. Jump backwards to keep Jilba out of reach, avoiding even the iron plates at the bottom of Jilba's palm. You can dodge it at the last minute, but Gilba is bare. If you grab your body and clothes, you'll be pulled in and killed.

"Die quick without pulling it out. Die now."

"Oh, I'm scared. I don't want to die, so let me kill you."

Against Gilba, who smiled ferociously with the overflowing murderous intentions, Kanna also smiled ferociously.

"Saadai... I'm glad you girls can be as generous as possible."

When Gilba and Canna started crossing fists and swords, Laurent told Eliza and the others in front of her.

Looking sideways, Jilba was happily slashing a razor blade with her bare hands. The sword flashing endlessly in the vertical and horizontal direction was held with one left hand, aiming for a slight gap and trying to take down Kanna with his right fist.

"If I don't even cover up that 'rabid dog' over there, I'm not going to do it either... no, I really don't know what that monster means. Are you crazy to parry the Bishop's slash with your bare hands?"

Laurent said blurrily as she tapped her shoulder with the curved sword she held in her right hand. Slowly, but surely, Jilba and Kanna heated up, and Laurent had no fierce fighting or killing intentions.

Although it was ordered by Kanna, from Laurent's point of view, there are three girls who are small enough to face each other. The amount of magic is quite high, but that's all I can talk about.

I could feel the noise and danger even if I was at a distance like Gilba, but I didn't feel the dust.

Still, the job was work, and he stood between Zilba and Eliza and took positions so that they could not be backed up by magic.

Three against one would be disadvantageous in numbers. On the contrary, the difference in numbers is advantageous from Eliza's point of view - nothing else is advantageous.

(Bad.....)

Eliza felt a cold sweat floating in Laurent's face.

Of Eliza, Sarah, and Meer, only Eliza had ever confronted a Gregorian. It is no exaggeration to say that the three are the most closely connected.

The Gregorians were avenged by Eliza's parents and grandmother, as well as her siblings, who had broken up without a glance. Naturally, I don't have a good impression of the Greeks. Rather, hate just burns my chest.

Still, Eliza's instincts as an “adventurer”, rather than an individual who has grudges against the Gregorians, ring alarms in her brain.

Eliza has been at war only with Gregorian priests and their surroundings. Among them, the priest, who was called Villa, was skilled and played a battle against Reurus, Eliza's most trustworthy man.

And the man in front of me is much stronger than such a villa. Instead, we can destroy the villa by ourselves, including its surroundings.

Even though it was shallow, did you slip through the Shura grounds as an adventurer, or did your instinct as a bloodsucking species make you do that? Eliza felt a cold sweat on her forehead as well as her hands holding her wand.

"Hah! What's with the Gregorians? I'll make you a pussy!

Sarah stepped forward to cover Eliza's impatience. Then he threw out his fist twice or three times to intimidate him, and his chest was stretched out to say that there was no dust, such as fear of Laurent.

"Ah... Miss, I'm fine, but I won't forgive you if you fight. The bishop said he wouldn't kill you, but you'll see some pain in your eyes.

"Fufu... which one do you see in your painful eyes?

Speaking with astonishment, Laurent changed her posture by feeling Sarah's war. He opened his body and protruded his left hand. With his right hand alone, he held the curved sword and pointed his neck toward Sarah. Fire balls were created around Sarah to respond to Laurent.

"Flame magic... well, you're a good kid."

Laurent didn't panic when she saw Sarah's flame magic. Instead, they just murmur as if they were a little impressed. Laurent looks away from Sarah, who created the fireball, and equally at Eliza and Meer.

"So, are your ladies motivated too? The Raccoon is the exception, but he's not an enemy... and I don't feel comfortable waving my sword at the kid. If you're going to leave me alone, it would be helpful if you could stop the red lady there."

It is no different from children's tantrums, such as Sarah, who shows war intentions. It was Laurent who said that, but it was Eliza, not Sarah, who responded to the words.

"You Gregorians... how dare you say that!

Feeling the danger of Laurent, Eliza barked, wondering if Sarah should be stopped. If Laurent is not going to fight, just pray that Zilba wins.

But Laurent's words easily tear off Eliza's endurance.

"... hmm? What do you mean," all of you "?

Suddenly and intensely, Eliza frowned and looked suspicious. Laurent's reaction was to stroke Eliza's nerves backwards, dispelling her doubts and turning her wand toward Laurent.

"You're not going to wave a sword to a man who's not your enemy? What a joke! Then why did you kill my family!?

Did you respond to Eliza's anger? Purple electricity pops out of your squeezed cane. There was a beep and a visible thunder followed by the cane.

"I can't see the story... hmm? I can't believe some idiot... Oh, come on, miss. I can't control my magic. Come on, stop the other ladies. Stay put or we'll blow ourselves up."

While leaning against Eliza's words, Laurent tells Sarah and Meer to stop Eliza. Have you forgotten how to use the wand in anger, or has Eliza not pierced the ground with the wand? As a result, the bursting lightning struck Eliza's skin, gradually creating a wound.

"As long as you can get rid of the 'Mad Dog', there's nothing you can do. I won't do anything if you keep quiet. I'll take care of you, so let's get this over with, huh?

Laurent tells Eliza to pacify her toddler as she tries to use her lightning magic while eating her teeth. I felt that there was a perception difference between Eliza and the others, but I wondered if there was some kind of mistake.

"I don't care why you were acting with that monster, and if you don't even bother me, I won't really do anything...?

Laurent lowered the notch of the curved sword to prove her words, but suddenly Eliza and Sarah turned their gaze away. Almost simultaneously, he looks toward Lake Mersena at a speed that is loud enough to make a sound.

"This feeling..."

"You're home!

Eliza and Sarah lift the magic they were expressing and raise their voice of joy. Only Meer was confused, but he knew what had happened from the two of them.

"Hehe, is that what you're saying?"

And Laurent wasn't the only one looking at Eliza's reaction, she was looking at Eliza's body.

Eliza's wounds from the suicide bombing are gradually blocking. When she realized it, Laurent repositioned the bending knife once again.

"I thought you weren't just a human being because you were with the Mad Dog, but you're a monster." Change "doesn't seem to transform you into a human being... but the young lady holding your hat is a dwarf. The other two....."

Laurent decided it was a dwarf based on Meer's small size and the weapon she was holding, but reviewed Eliza and Sarah and raised her eyebrows.

"I don't remember hearing about twin monsters. If you judge by the amount of magic, it's an intermediate monster, but flame magic, lightning magic, and healing magic... isn't it, some kind of protection? Elves seem thin and too weak for spirits. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Laurent was slightly worried about whether he was faking it or not. Soon, however, the other species was cut off.

From Laurent, a Gregorian, there is only one thing that matters.

--that is, whether or not they are stronger than advanced as monsters.

"Well, it doesn't look like I've seen it... but let's just try it."

Even though the magic is weak, there are strong monsters. There are parts where the amount of magic is directly linked to the strength, but there are exceptions.

Laurent kicks the ground, hoping that Eliza and the others are the exceptions. Advanced monsters kill, but they don't have to.

While adding or subtracting, be careful to do your best depending on Eliza's movements.

"If you're coming, I'm coming!

Laurent was about to slash Eliza and Sarah, but Meer pushed in to stop them. He shook the knife he gripped with both hands, swinging an iron murder weapon on Laurent's face, which quickly filled the gap.

A 'boost' to Dwarf's strength made Meer's imprint as heavy as a lie. A direct hit will shatter even the boulder. If an ordinary person receives, they can be knocked out per defense and inflicted with fatal wounds.

"Ah, I'm not interested in the lady. Will you come back when you're strong enough to name yourself advanced?

But Laurent is far from ordinary. Easily deflected by playing a curved sword, he turned back the blade and tried to stun Meer with a knife.

"Kh!?

As long as Reurus is not here, only Meer can be in the vanguard.

If she loses, Eliza and Sarah are exposed to danger - instantly she realizes that Meer slips the handle of the knife into a curved sword aimed at her neck, and takes the knife in a single piece of paper.

"Hee... damn it, it's a waste. Isn't it strange to be a dwarf?"

Laurent, who was stopped, praised Meer, but the tone was as light as ever. Pull the curved sword, shake it again, and slash it to break Meer's defenses.

"Get away from Meer, you bastard!

Sarah held hands together to support Meer, who was desperately devoured. Then a fireball was fired to the left and right of Laurent, intercepting Sarah's hand to match her movements.

Laurent did not pursue Meer deeply and jumped backwards to avoid Sarah's ball of fire. When the two fireballs that were trying to pinch Laurent in were left in one place, they were thrown after the retreating Laurent.

"Whoa! You're clever, young lady. And don't be an asshole. I'm still 25 years old. Call me oniisan."

Laurent waves his curved sword with a light slap before he throws a ball of fire to follow. Sarah's fireball was likely to burn out if hit directly, but the blade of the curved blade easily slashed the fireball and sprayed it.

Was it because of Laurent's own arm, or did he use "Nullify", or was the curved sword a magical instrument? While sheltering Eliza behind her back, Sarah calls out in a "Call of Thought" toward the magic of the Reurus that was connected earlier.

Reurus! Can you hear me!?

However, there is no response from Reurus. I wonder if the magic of the "contract" is only connected, and the "ideological call" is not within reach. Still, I felt the magic of Reurus getting closer and closer, so I wondered what to do.

"... as Jilba-san said, we have no choice but to defend ourselves. Sarah needs Meer to back her up and Meer to hold on as long as she can... as long as she has Reurus, we'll win."

Just like Sarah, Eliza had her head bothered, but even the three of them would find it difficult to beat Laurent.

Meer takes the vanguard, Sarah backs her up, and Eliza looks into the gap and shoots lightning magic. That's the only way to buy time. So is Reurus, but Zilba may defeat Canna and rendezvous.

"Reurus? Oh, my God. New kind of monster like the ladies?

"We look forward to your arrival! I don't know if you'll be standing by then!

"Hahaha, how are you, miss? If you think that's possible... well, you should try it."

That said, Laurent retightened her curved sword and Eliza and the others retightened their minds.
