A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Two weeks have passed since Natalia finished requesting an investigation.

After returning to the abandoned city of Laval, Reurus spent about two days resting, but now, as usual, he devotes his energy to adventurers' household work.

Escort workers to farmland north of Laval Waste Town, or alert people around Laval Waste Town. There are other requests to watch the perimeter near the Laval Waste Gate, but it is judged useless to keep the Reurus in one place.

For this reason, Reurus and the others received a request from a person with fewer manpower on the same day and lived the days to earn living expenses.

It is a peaceful day with no special requests and no monsters of intermediate or higher. Even if the monster approached, it was a low-level monster, and each time Reurus ran to hunt with a smile, it was peaceful enough to rejoice that he had a “snack”.

The reward you received for your recent request will be twenty gold coins, including the sale of the monster's material. Kimira didn't get paid because she didn't have any proof of defeat, but it's still too much to live in the abandoned city of Laval.

In contrast, the usual job is for five Reurus to work a day with around three silver coins. The more monsters you hunt, the more monsters you don't come by, most of them don't get three silver coins.

Compared to the large requests received so far, it would be a small amount. But from Reurus, even three silver coins is a thankful story.

How hard it was to earn three silver coins a year ago? Because it coincided with the time I was working as a serf in my native village of Shena, I could not earn even silver or even bronze.

It is now able to live a satisfactory life without any trouble in daily life. With regard to the money earned by the client, rather than maintaining the status quo, there is enough room to turn it into savings.

I have a home and I don't buy clothes frequently. There is no need to bother buying equipment as an adventurer, and the money is spent on food.

(... well, I don't know what to save and spend it on)

It would be too soon to save money in anticipation of old age. Still, I don't know when I'm going to “retire” from my career as an adventurer.

How many dead lines have you slipped through since you became an adventurer? Reurus is not optimistic enough to be able to affirm a stable life.

(If you think so, you can save as much money as you want... and if anything happens to me, I'll send it to Eliza and the others. Talk to your sister about that area....)

"Hmm? What's wrong?

Upon his return from escorting the farmer to the field, Eliza called out to him as Reurus thought as he walked back to his home.

"... no, I haven't seen Jilba lately."

Instead of telling Eliza what she had been thinking, Reurus switched consciousness and talked.

The other day, I heard from Natalia that Zilba had requested me by name, and I tried to confirm the situation with Zilba, but I still haven't seen her.

When I took my legs to the church, Esther said that Gilba was out of the abandoned city of Laval for her own use. Still, I thought I'd be back in a few days, but I haven't heard anything about Gilba coming back.

Reurus arrives at home, does not open the front door and turns around behind the house. Behind the house is a neighbor's house, but there is a passageway between the houses where people can pass.

“Normally”, it's not strange for Zilba to be there, but there's still no shadow or shape.

(... if you're praying here without Sarah and Neddy, it's scary.)

I am not going to deny Zilba's faith, but I would like you to pray in the church if you pray. When Reurus thought about it, Eliza peeked into the back of the house to see if it was intriguing.

"What is it? Is there something in the back of the house?

"I felt like I heard something, but it was my fault."

Behind the house, I was checking to see if Zilba was offering prayers - how to explain the unacceptable phenomenon even as a Reurus.

A properly deceived Reurus tries to re-establish his mind and enter his home.

"Hmm? What is that?"

But before that, Sarah shouted strangely. When he heard the voice, Reurus immediately reached for the "Dragon Slash" on his back.

"What's wrong? Did you notice anything?

Sarah showed these reactions when she was worried about the heat source within range. Outside Laval Waste City, they react similarly when they discover the source of the monster's heat, but here in Laval Waste City.

Perhaps I felt the heat of the monster approaching the town. That's what Reurus thinks, but now some adventurers are coming back to town from the outside. It would be a quick plan to judge a monster.

"Hmm... people are running towards the west gate at a distance? Not being chased by enemies, but moving towards your destination...? Like this, guwatt! So, shuffle!

"... what should I do? I don't know what Sara-chan is trying to say."

It was Sarah who waved her gesture and her hands, but Meer, who was listening to it, said with a dry laugh.

…………

Neddy was staring at Sarah with his true face, but was there anything he wanted to say as a spirit, or was he just stunned?

"Don't worry, Meer. Sometimes I don't know."

"Eh? I feel like a Zudder! Like a revus that finds a monster and sticks it in a straight line?

I don't know what Sarah's trying to say, but it looks like something happened.

(Man heading west to the gate? Something wrong?

Reurus looks at the west with his eyes closed, but the smoke hasn't gone up, so there's probably no fire and he's not running away. In that case, Neddy will have a fire extinguishing request, so someone should come to Reurus' house, not the west gate.

(Let's go first.)

I don't know what happened, but there's something I can do to help. Reurus, who decided so, ran away with Eliza and the others.

"--Get out of there now! You want to get killed!?

As Reurus and the others rushed to the west gate, they heard shouting voices. The voice tone is obviously frustrating, and I can see that it is not unusual.

Around the wooden gates, town dwellers and adventurers gather, and nearly fifty people line up to block the gates. Each emitted a sword-eating atmosphere, and some residents were holding knives and the like, regardless of the armed adventurers.

Obviously, something is happening.

Understanding this, Reurus called out to the nearby adventurer.

"What happened? Was it rough?"

Reurus...

Male adventurers, who have met many times in the Adventurers' Union, look at the revulsion and look like they have some kind of bad face.

"You mean you speak Komona? If you're an alien or a monster, I'll come out...."

"No, not now. Tony's dealing with him."

That said, Reurus turned to the crowd. As the male adventurer said, a man stands in front of the gate, Tony, the gatekeeper.

Then Reus frowned when he noticed the horses on the other side.

"... what are you, a soldier?

It was men wearing metal armor who were riding horses. Each held a spear in his right hand, and he saw his sword lowered and armed at his waist.

"Even if I was told to leave... do you know what kind of place this is?”

Tony squeezes his shoulders. All the soldiers are on board, and there are five within sight of the Reurus. Someone else seems to be hiding.

(The first man has magic... hmm? Like I saw it somewhere....)

The soldiers' posture is very stable, even though they are on horses. At his feet, he found that each soldier was trained, even though he was holding the rope with his left hand.

Among them, Reurus was the soldier who was arguing with Tony with the horse at the forefront. The soldier felt little but magic.

Judging by the appearance alone, he is a young man who is over 20 years old and has dull golden hair peeking from the helmet that covers his head. Though he looked tough, his expression distorted and he yelled at Tony, and he saw a narrow amount through him.

What is that? I'll never take it off at this distance.

"Wait, wait... even if you do it, don't do it."

Sarah suggested a pre-emptive strike, and Reurus had a slight headache. It is radical and troublesome who resembles him.

(Vaniel's influence, yeah)

I heard you had a conversation with Vaniel for years, but it must have affected you then. It was a Reurus who thought to escape reality, but he listened to the soldier's man and opened his eyes.

"Shit... I feel like a lowlife! I know there's an adventurer here called" Monster Taker "! If you're telling me not to let you through, get me out of here!

Apparently, the purpose of the soldier was his own. Understanding that, Reurus leaned his neck inside to see what it was all about.

(Speaking of soldiers... that yelling fellow was among the soldiers who joined after defeating Kimira...?

I felt like I was yelling at you at that time, but I couldn't even check my face because of the distance.

"'Monster eater'? Haha, that's a big name again. I don't know anything about hate, but can you take it?

Tony waves lightly against a yelling soldier and falls in love. He did not see the spear pointing at him, nor did he look frightened. Instead, he laughed with his nose.

"Even if there is such a guy, do you think we'll hand him over?

Tony said so, and the neighborhood seeped with killing in harmony with the words. Even if a trained soldier is the opponent, it is a sword that does not say a step back.

"Hey, Reurus... isn't this a bad idea?

I'm glad everyone's feelings are... really bad.

The instant air is filling up. It was a realistic revulsion, but I was worried if I could break it in with Tony deceiving me.

I don't know what the soldiers came for. Are you asking me to pay extra for the carriage repair, or do I need something else?

Reurus thought, "Should we wait a little longer?" The first soldier shook his spear like a numbness - and the moment he saw it, Reus jumped out with all his might.
