A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Reurus!

It was a Reurus that rushed to Eliza and the others, but as she got closer, Eliza jumped in. Reurus clutches Eliza, who hits her whole body, and smiles bitterly on her face.

"Ugh... I'm sorry, I was worried."

"It's not true! Really... I'm really worried!?

"... bad"

As I rushed to the scene, I started slashing with Laurent, so I couldn't speak properly with Eliza. Sarah was on the "Call of Thoughts," and Meer spoke directly, but she didn't have time to talk to Eliza, who was shooting magic away from Laurent.

Eliza buried tears at the edge of her eyes and shook her voice to bury her face in Reurus' clothes. Even with that appearance, I could feel how worried Eliza was, and Reurus gently stroked Eliza's head just now.

I also reflect that I was really worried about the area where "vegetables” appeared along the way.

"That's why I told you. Reurus is alive because I'm not gone."

"Sara-chan... even if she was alive, she could have been injured. I was worried too...."

Sarah says as usual, and Meer feels relieved. However, when he heard the two words, Reus deepened his bitter smile.

"I almost died... but if Neddy helped me, I'd be drowning."

"That's what he said earlier... he saved my life. I have a lot to say. What is she? I already feel like I don't like it anymore."

For some reason, while distancing herself from Neddy, she asked Sarah with a disgusting face. Normally, it was unusual for Sarah to be bright enough, but her face really didn't seem to like it.

"It's hard to explain to me... but don't you feel anything else?

Reurus asks Sarah the opposite. I don't know what I don't like, but is there anything else I can feel as a spirit?

"Er? Even if they say something else...."

Sarah looks at Neddy recklessly. However, just eyebrows and displaying disgust didn't seem to produce any further feelings.

(Sarah doesn't know... we have to prioritize the slime right now.)

I would have liked to hear more about it if I had time, but now the slime is approaching. So Reurus took Sarah out of sight, and now he saw Neddy.

Neddy walks close to the Reurus with a footsteps as he looks away from Sarah without looking at her in the eye.

"Reurus, what are we going to do now?

"... intercept the slime as scheduled. I'd like to check first, but I don't think Neddy's magic remains..."

The magic Neddy can feel is very little. Most of them are gone by keeping the slime frozen for a long time, and the magic they used to escape from the island will push them to the bottom.

It wasn't zero at all, but compared to Eliza and Sarah, there was only a very rare magic left.

I'm not going to let Neddy fight any longer than his magic is at its limit, but I'm worried about another part of Reurus.

(Assuming Neddy is a spirit, what happens when the magic runs out?

When Reurus defeated Kimira the first time using "Decent" "Caloric Release", he was stunned by magic. If Neddy runs out of magic, will he faint just like Reurus?

(Sarah wouldn't be helpful... if I had listened to Vaniel more)

In the case of Sarah, who has formally entered into a "contract" with Reus, Sarah herself has told us that it will not disappear unless Reus dies. I was afraid of Neddy's case, but Neddy didn't understand himself at all.

I brought Neddy here to prevent Neddy from being killed by the slime. Even so, I can't help but lose my life because of the magic.

(Even though Neddy won't let him join the fight as much as possible.....)

Reurus thought as she softened Eliza, who was holding her in tears. We won't have more than five minutes before the slime lands. I'd like to set up an intercept by then.

I couldn't get rid of the slime on the island, but this place has the strength to fight with all my might.

There are some unexpected fighters named Kanna and Laurent, but it would be nice if we were to take on the slime. And then we need “firepower” to get rid of the slime.

"Eliza... can you fight?

Were the threads of tension broken or did you think it would be a reunion? Reurus called out to crying Eliza and raised her face a few seconds later.

"Nh, gu... let's take down the slime.

"Oh, it's a mess to leave, and I don't know if I can escape."

If there is a problem, we will fight with Kanna and Laurent. Reurus, I think, is not as deeply rooted as Eliza, who was killed by a Gregorian family.

While feeling the magic of the slime approaching, Reurus folds his knees to keep Eliza and her gaze high.

In battle, the Reurus gives instructions as much as possible, and you may be able to push them through if you say you need them. But this time, I can imagine Eliza's mood.

If Eliza doesn't convince herself properly, she thinks she'll pull her tail later, and Reurus looks Eliza straight in the eye.

"So... because of the situation, I'm going to fight the two Gregorians together..."

"... isn't that what you need?

Eliza asks quietly without immediate emotional rebellion. Even if I think about it, I feel the danger of a situation where a giant slime is imminent.

"Whether it's necessary or not, it's necessary. Some of them stand up, but the Gregorians are good at killing monsters. The slime might be able to stand around well with the opponent... and you can't fight them while you're fighting the slime."

There won't be enough lives for Reurus and the Gregorians, the tripods with the slime on them.

There may be a way to leave the slime's opponents to Canna and Laurent to retreat, but given the relentless pursuit we've had so far, it's possible that they will ignore Canna and Laurent and follow the Reurus.

"Me, Gilba, and the two Gregorians come forward and make a diversion. Eliza and Sarah use all their magic to“ shave ”the slime as much as possible."

It's a simple division of power, not even a maneuver. The slime stood in front of the opponent who could engage in a melee fight, and Eliza, who stood back, smashed in magic.

You'll need to tell me when to shoot, but you might be able to defeat it if you're prepared in advance. However, Eliza and the others do not have the skill to wait for the magic to unfold, so they will need to prepare after the battle with the Slime begins.

"Er, what am I supposed to do..."

Meer asked modestly when Reurus was explaining. You don't have the skills or physical abilities to challenge slime opponents, and you can't use class magic like Eliza or Sarah.

That's why there's nothing we can do on the spot - while Meer had such an idea on her face, Reurus shook her head sideways.

"I don't know what would happen if it was that big, but let Eliza and the others escape when the slime“ bounces ”. Depending on the situation, they might hold the three of us together and run away."

"... eh? Jump?"

"I'll jump. I jumped when I was fighting... I almost got crushed."

Reurus answers seriously to Meer, who said it was a joke. I'm not directly involved in the fight, but Meer is probably the most important player in keeping Eliza and the others safe.

"I think that slime is after me, but maybe Neddy is too. So get as far away as you can and make sure you can escape anytime."

"Okay, okay."

Eliza and Sarah need to keep their “range” slim, but still keep their distance depending on the situation. I don't know if I can identify the area while I'm fighting the slime at close range, so I have to ask Meer to respond on an ad hoc basis.

"Besides,...."

Looking sideways at Kanna and Laurent who would not move while facing Jilba, Reus said quietly.

"I don't think so, but we also need to be prepared when the two Gregorians make strange moves. If those two show up looking for us....."

I don't think I can afford to attack Reurus or Gilba with the slime in front of me, but I don't know what's going on in the world. There will be no more problems than Eliza and the others are holding back, but “if” you need to shoot from behind.

(... well, I don't think so.)

I don't know about Canna, but Reurus thought at least Laurent wouldn't attack. Still, I mentioned Kanna and Laurent because they're not “friends.”

It's only a temporary struggle, and if the situation is different, we'll kill each other again. It was in consideration of Eliza that I put it that way.

"Anyway, this battle depends on you... Eliza. Lightning magic seems to work easily on the slime, so let me“ rely ”on it."

"Uhhhh! I got it!

Eliza replies energetically by rubbing her eyes that are red more than usual because of the effects of crying. When Reurus laughs bitterly inside, he turns back to the slime that is so close that he needs to look up as soon as possible.

Well then, let's do it!

That's all, Reurus used his magic in "Dragon Slash" and ran out of his sword.
