A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 188: The Question

It was Kanna who stopped moving in the middle of the battle with the slime. I clapped my hands and walked over to see when I was closing the distance.

As you can see from the applause, there is no hostility in the sheath of the sword. The same was true of Laurent, who was walking along with the curved sword in his sheath.

"... stop right there, heathens."

Zilba gave Doss a good voice to Canna and Laurent, who were watching Reurus fight the humanoid slime.

Gilba, who can use healing magic, didn't speak to Reurus and didn't do any healing because she was aware of the proximity of Canna and Laurent.

Zilba stood in front of Reurus and Neddy, blasting his cockroaches and finger bones with a stir of death. If Kanna says something bad, it looks like she's going to get attacked.

Although there was a common enemy named Slime, the Gregorians and Gilba were formerly indefatigable enemies. Defeating the slime eliminates the need to fight together, and the instant air fills the surroundings.

"I wonder if you'll come here....."

Inspired by such a Gilba, Reurus, who stood behind the Dragon Slash, also turned back to Canna and Laurent.

Because the magic was close to its limit, the "Caloric Release" was cut off, and there was no place where it could hurt the whole body. However, the dragon slash was carried on the shoulder so that it could be endured. That alone made the body nearly collapse, but the Reus withstood the pain.

Normally, the magic sent by Eliza and Sarah "strengthens" their physical abilities, but both of them are as close to their limits as Reurus. For this reason, Reus held the sword of love with his physical abilities, but it looked nothing but vain from anyone's eyes.

"Don't be rude. Obviously badly wounded... or strangely bleeding from standing beside you? My face is bright red and stylish... can't you see the bones on my forehead?"

"I have a lot of blood. I think it would be better if I bled out a little."

Against the astonishing Laurent, Reurus pretends to have room and gives back a light mouth.

Depending on how Kanna and Laurent get out, we'll have to use 'Calorie Release' in preparation for Stun. In that case, it won't take long, and you'll need to settle in a few seconds.

(Too tight to fight after a slime....)

I don't know if I can win in perfect condition. Gilba and Meer are the only ones that can fight, and it's impossible to compete with Kanna and Laurent, who don't seem to have been exhausted in the battle against Slime.

Gilba didn't understand that, or that she would be attacked. Instead of trying to move, she stood by to watch Kanna and Laurent move.

Reurus also only slightly changed his stance as he watched the movements of Canna and Laurent. Decide that you can only shake one shot, and slowly lower your hips as you lean forward.

Negotiate amicably and get through the situation - I came up with such an idea, but I can't adopt it.

Eliza, Sarah, and Neddy fought with all their might. In particular, the flame magic Sarah used was powerful enough to wipe out most of the slime, which boasted a giant mass of nearly 100 meters.

Laurent assessed Eliza, Sarah, and Meer as not reaching an advanced level and pulled the blade, but there is no guarantee that the rating has not changed. Besides, I don't know what kind of rating you gave Neddy.

"Hey, don't stare so hard, Reurus. If you're going to slash it, you're going to slay it without speaking up. Besides, you're not going to do as much as you can with a child beast and a handicapped beast, are you?

"Laurent is right. At least for now, we're not going to slash you."

Kanna and Laurent opened their hands to appeal that there was no hostility, but neither Reurus nor Gilba was alarmed. If you care, two people with arms that can be slashed in less than a second stand at a distance that can be filled with breath.

The dust couldn't be careless - but Reurus sighed deeply and lowered the Dragon Slash.

If we were going to kill Reurus and the others, we should have been attacked while we were fighting the slime. Alternatively, Zilba was definitely killed when he assaulted the moment he took down the slime.

Otherwise, they would have been overwhelmingly disadvantaged if Kanna and Laurent hadn't spoken out.

"... so? If it's not a rematch, what can I do for you?

It will be your role to listen to Zilba more than she is silent and vigilant. When Reurus asks, Canna sees Chilari and Gilba.

"Two... no, I wanted to ask you about three things. I'll be honest with you when I hear that."

Go home honestly. I wonder if I can believe that word, but I nod silently and encourage you to talk.

Well, shall we finish the story of the rabid dog that is about to attack?

Is it just light-mouth or provocative? While paying attention to Gilba's movements, Canna smiles and asks Reurus.

"Earlier, I asked half the jokes, but I changed my mind. Mr. Reurus, would you like to join Gregorianism? I recommend it, so at least from the priest, if you do well, you'll be a bishop from the beginning.

Canna tells the truth that Jilba is about to attack. Reurus shook his neck sideways as he felt Zilba's lethality swell up.

"I said that earlier, but I'll say no."

"Really...? The abilities I showed you earlier, no matter how you look at your power, it's for" us ", but... even if you persist in soliciting, you might come here one day, so why don't we just leave it like this for now?"

While passing on Zilba's murderous intentions, Kanna quickly retreated. However, it seemed like this was the only occasion I backed down.

"... the second one?

Reurus prompts the next question, while questioning Kanna's attitude.

"This is also going to make the Raccoon angry... but the child there is a spirit, right? What are you going to do with her?

"Spirit? What are you talking about?

Instead, the Gregorians are going to do something about the Spirit - and so on, and the Reurus is going to melt away.

But at the same time, the question was too much in the corner of my head. Had it not been for Reurus' mistake, Canna's voice would have sounded as if she was mistaken for Neddy.

"You don't have to play dumb. If you look at the magic earlier... and I know it's unconvincing, but at least we don't want to do anything about it. I just want to know what happens to her."

(That magic... froze the slime? I did have a strange feeling....)

I don't know Kanna enough to tell if she's lying or not. So I didn't know how much to believe what you were saying, and Reurus frowned small.

"... I'm going to have you come to the town where I live. Unless, of course, the person doesn't like it. Looks like her only goal was to defeat the slime, but when it's over, you're free to go, right?

Some say he saved his life, but Neddy only knew how to seal the slime.

There are plans to get help with the water shortage in the abandoned city of Laval, but I wanted Neddy to know more about the world than that.

"I see... then there's nothing to say. I'm worried about spending time at the lap of" The Raccoon "...."

Do you dislike Zilba or is it elemental? Zilba's killing spirit swells up in Kanna, who emits inflammatory words.

Perhaps this is going to reverse Zilba's promise to let him attack and retreat like this. Unexpectedly, Reurus thought of such a thing, and Kanna's words toward Gilba were provocative.

"Don't provoke Gilba too much... so what's the third question?

It would be better to finish the conversation early. When Reurus asked Zilba to forgive him, he turned from the atmosphere until then and saw something sharp mixed up in Kanna's gaze.

Behind Reurus was his gaze: Sarah, who had fallen down using too much magic, and Eliza, who was kneeling beside her.

Kanna watched Eliza and Sarah for about ten seconds as she watched, but eventually she relaxed her gaze and smiled a little.

"The answer to the second question was satisfactory, so you don't need the third. If you and your spirits were together, we'd be able to handle the problem."

…… What does that mean...? "

It was a Reurus who tried to question Kanna's words, but suddenly his sight shook and he shook his knee. In a hurry, he tried to support the Dragon Slash, but he fell to the ground with no force on his arm.

Apparently he bled too much, and his shaking vision gradually became white. At the same time, your consciousness begins to move away.

"Looks like you're at your limit... no, you really showed me something good. Well, Mr. Reurus, I'll be waiting for you to come this way.

At the end of those words, Reurus' consciousness was interrupted.

"Are you sure that's good? At least I should have taken down" The Raccoon "...."

"If it's easy to get rid of when you're trying to get rid of it, it's not called" rabies. "I'm sure you and I can handle this, but it could be a fight."

As promised, Canna and Laurent, who retreated without reaching out to the Reurus, exchanged words all the way south.

"If you put that aside... Laurent, you're really unlucky. It was Mr. Reurus who took the slime after all."

"Oh no, there's no way to defeat that slime alone... ahh, don't you have an advanced monster that's a little easier to fight?"

As for Laurent, I just have to sigh. When the castle collapsed, I was disappointed that it was bad for a while.

"Even if it was someone else's business, I could defeat the slime. We're glad to be Gregorians."

"That's true... well, what do you think is good because you've fulfilled your request?"

That's what Laurent pulled out of his pocket was the 'nucleus' of a slime that split in two. I have already stopped breathing, but I wrapped it in cloth without saying that it is still relevant, and I rewrapped it in my pocket.

"But I've failed the test twice in a row since the last time....."

"Ugh... are you sure you want to cancel the exam? Or demote?"

"No, I wonder if you'll be concentrating on“ another job ”for a while... and my sweet supervision might change the witness next time."

Laurent drops her shoulders when she hears Kanna's words.

"All the other bishops don't like it....."

"Ahahah, it's going to be tough, but please do your best. And...."

So Kanna, who cut off her words, turned back only once.

"--there are people who are more likely to get into trouble."
