A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Buildings in what should be called the “heart” of the abandoned city of Laval - the Adventurers Union.

It is an organization that oversees adventurers belonging to the abandoned city of Laval, normally hands-on policing of the town, and collects information and manages it in the form of requests to eliminate monsters appearing around the town.

"Did something happen to you when you called me on purpose?

Reurus, who had arrived at such an adventurers' union, voiced no doubt.

A week passed when a group of Reurus returned to town with a special request to bring in humans or monsters who could use ice magic or water magic, or to get a "jewel" of water.

Most of the fatigue accumulated by the series of disturbances was healed by Reurus, but Natalia told me to come to the Adventurers' Union at noon.

The five summoned were Reus and Eliza, Sarah and Meer, and the newly added Neddy.

I step into the Adventurers Association thinking of something, but there are no other adventurers. Essentially, adventurers are hired in the morning and reported in the evening.

Those who visit the Adventurers' Union during the day are as likely to have “something” on request as those who suddenly need the equipment controlled by the Union.

As I walked through the Adventurers' Union, which was wrapped in silence, I saw Natalia sitting at the reception. As a result, when Reus raised his right hand slightly, Natalia smiled back.

Just in time.

"Well, if you're given a date and time, you'll be safe. So, what can I do for you today?

Was there an emergency request, or was there a powerful monster found near the abandoned city of Laval? As a realus, the latter is the place to rush out with joy and courage. Of course, in the case of slime, please refrain.

"It's not like there's a monster out there, so calm down... we'll talk in the back."

It was Natalia who smiled at the revulsion and wondered whether her mood was on her face, but she immediately tightened her expression and stood up from the chair. Then he encouraged Reurus and the others to walk to the “Oku" of the Adventurers' Association.

The Adventurers' Union is more than just a space in the vicinity of the reception hosted by adventurers. There are also rooms that store information about clients' rewards and monsters, as well as rooms used by union president Bartolo.

Reurus and the others were guided to Bartolo's room, and when Natalia knocked, a low voice came back from inside.

(Hee... this is what happened.)

It was the first time Reurus had stepped into the union's reception, and of course it was the first time he had stepped into the union president's room.

It should be described more as an office than a private room in Bartolo. It is about fifteen tatami mats in size, and there are wooden bookshelves lined up by the wall, and there are small wooden objects like paper, bundles of parchment, and wooden boards that are connected together by thread.

In the middle of the room was a desk that was nearly two meters apart, and there was a baltro sitting on a chair between the desks.

And besides Bartolo, there was one other customer.

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, today is also a good day."

You were summoned just like the Reurus, and there was Gilba. Say hello with a soft smile and greet Sarah and Neddy with your right hand on your chest.

"It's a really good day to see Sarah and Neddy's face..."

(Let's pray behind my house when we have time... no, let's go. My life is wasted too....)

Instead, Reurus swallowed the word "we don't see each other". Sarah and Neddy are more likely to encounter each other when they go out.

They seem to be in normal contact when they have eyes, but when they see no signs of people around them, they try to start praying on their knees. Reurus thinks he wants us to pick a time and a place, though his head is down in that faith.

(No, you're picking a time and a place...?

Reflecting on Zilba's recent actions, Reurus felt his thoughts fit into the mud and decided to cut them off forcefully. Instead, he opened his mouth with a gaze towards Bartolo.

"So... the union president? That you called in this face, that's what you asked me to do, right?

"Oh, thanks to Neddy's lady over there, they saved the town... as head of the Adventurers Association, let me say thank you first."

Bartolo lowers his bald head. Neddy nodded as if nothing had happened.

"Don't worry about it. It's my job to protect people.

"... I see. I had a report, but it's really different from Sarah's girlfriend... but let me thank you anyway. Thank you."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. The union president? What's that supposed to mean? Hey, what do you mean?

Bartolo murmured impressively, but Sarah waited. But Bartolo didn't answer, and Eliza and Meer slipped away from Sarah.

"I didn't just call you to thank Neddy..."

That's right. Of course, that's also important, but this time I called you on something else... no, in a sense. I called you to talk about your client's reward. "

Reurus and Bartolo communicate Sarah's reaction and continue the conversation. In response, Sarah inflated her cheeks and Zilba smiled satisfactorily as she watched.

"Reward... uh... I completely forgot because I was too tired."

Reurus scratches his head in trouble when he hears about Bartolo.

He fought the slime, used most of his magic, was seriously wounded and fell down, and when he woke up, he returned to the Raval Waste City with a forceful army.

I reported the fate of the incident, but I was given priority to rest over talking about rewards.

This does not mean that the rewards are fine, but is the result of prioritizing the ability of the Reurus and the others to get back on track and fight as quickly as possible.

This is the abandoned city of Laval, where monsters have recently stopped approaching, but that's not why it's good to be distracted. I don't know when a powerful monster will appear, and I can't deny the danger that malicious leftovers will get involved even if the monster doesn't show up.

Those were the Reurus who gave priority to resting for those reasons, but we can't afford to postpone the rewards any longer.

"You heard from Natalia before you left, Reurus... you've been promoted to mid-level adventurer. Well, I don't suppose it's an intermediate skill."

It is unusual for adventurers in the abandoned city of Laval to have an intermediate Reurus of less than a year after becoming an adventurer. Normally, he would spend more time promoting, but in the case of Reurus, Bartolo thought that the surroundings would not object because of his “track record”.

"When I came to this town, I only looked like a kid. When you turn into a human, you turn into a human in no time....."

Bartolo narrows his eyes and looks at Reurus with a bitter smile.

It seemed like years ago that Kimira had been saying all sorts of “crying" when she attacked the abandoned city of Laval. Nowadays, it is remarkable to call it an adventurer at one end, but it is undoubtedly a valuable force in the abandoned city of Laval.

"I've been joking with people in town, but it turns out that advanced monsters are turning into 'change'...."

"Because... I didn't expect the union president to say that..."

Reurus waves his right hand in front of his face and denies it as if he was stunned. Instead of 'change', you can't even use 'strengthening' on your own.

"Well, if this town is useful to me, I don't care if it's a monster that's turned into a 'change'. So the others....."

Bartolo turns his attention to Eliza and Meer, turning Reurus elsewhere, wondering if he really believed me.

"Eliza's lady is in the lower middle, and Meer's lady is in the upper middle. You won't mind much more than moving with Reurus as your head, but for now...."

"Wow, I'm at the lower intermediate level... heh, are you sure this is okay..."

"I don't care about any rank....."

Eliza murmured anxiously, but Meer was really light. From Meer, the dwarf, it doesn't matter what the human class of adventurers is.

Bartolo then turned to Sarah with a full expression of expectation - passing by and watching Gilba.

"Gilba... you're not my adventurer. On the contrary, he is a spiritual person. You don't need a class as an adventurer."

Compared to what was directed at the Reurus, it was a voice tone with some hardness and a "wall”. However, Gilba also understood Bartolo's position and nodded with a smile.

"This affects the children of the church as well. Even if it wasn't in the form of a request, I didn't hesitate to cooperate."

"... it's true that you saved my life. So get your hands on it in the form of a reward for this request."

That's what Bartolo took out was a soft cloth bag that he thought contained a reward.

"Thirty thousand yuan. If the big gold is better, I'll prepare it....."

"No, it's hard to use if it's a big gold coin, so just keep it that way."

"I see... oh, of course it's just a client's reward. I still can't believe it, but I think I took down the slime. I'll pay you extra for the slaughter rewards and materials."

Oh, and Reurus remembered the doubt. In Bartolo's tone, it seemed to me that Gilba was responsible for the slime.

Reurus secretly sends eye contact to Natalia. Then Natalia returned the wink without saying anything.

"... there seems to be a misunderstanding, but it was Mr. Reurus who defeated the slime. That's what even the city knows."

"But you helped me, didn't you? I don't think that's a mistake."

Defeat the slime - if anyone asks who destroyed the 'nucleus', it will be a revus. It was thanks to the cooperation of my friends that I cracked all three "nuclei".

Of course, Reurus is not going to be proud to be on his own, but...

(What, are you trying to push Gilba? I think I have an idea because it's about the union president and Mr. Hayashi....)

Gilba raised her eyebrows in trouble, and Valtro pushed only as much as Gilba pulled. Reurus thinks it's time to pinch his mouth or sit still, and there's someone who exploded to destroy the surrounding air.

"Little bit!? Me! Me? The union president flushed it away, but my promotion!? I'm still an adventurer apprentice!? Ignore it and you'll cry. I'm going to cry like a neighbor!?

The air was completely destroyed by Sarah screaming half-crying, and Bartolo and Gilba looked at each other unintentionally.
