A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

A spear swinging at Tony.

The blow was shaken by Tony's sideways face, and using "caloric release," Reurus, who instantly interrupted, raised his nails to catch the spear.

"Eh... what are you doing?"

Soldiers who suddenly saw the interrupted revulsion turn to be alert. The spear that Reurus captured with his left hand exerts force, but the Reurus remains immobile without being pushed by that force.

The soldiers weren't going to kill Tony either, or they weren't going to use Enhancements. Even though Reurus was using "caloric liberation", the spear that the soldiers shaken was very “light", and there was no major shock even if it was shaken from the horse.

You were looking for me, weren't you? If you need anything, I'll ask. "

Still, he shook his spear at his fellow townspeople. Tony is not injured by taking it, but Reurus leans slightly towards the center of gravity so that he can deal with it any way he wants.

"Hmm... you're an adventurer with a big name like 'Monster Eater'."

Have you noticed the state of such a revulsion or not? When the soldier pulls his spear, he looks down at Reurus as if he were watching from a horse.

"Red hair, leather armor, and a big sword on the back... I see, there's no mistake."

Soldiers gazing at the Reurus from head to toe snorted. Then he raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, and continued his words with a glance.

"But you think this kid beat Kimira? Is this some kind of joke?

(If it's a joke, I wonder if you'll turn right and go home...)

Soldiers told me to mock him, but Reurus thought that from the bottom of his heart. I think I came to Laval Waste City for some reason, but even if I asked, I don't seem to know if the answer will come back properly.

…………

Reurus watches the other soldiers, but he keeps silent and doesn't say anything. However, the remaining four soldiers raised their eyebrows small to hide their suffering somewhere.

"After all, did you just fight the Diego guys and stab the weak Kimira to the end? Yeah?"

Who is Diego? Though Reurus wondered, some of the soldiers who aided him the other day had a name like that.

I don't know the position of the man in front of me, but Reus thought he wanted a soldier named Diego to come.

"Hmm, how much? I'm not being polite like a lowlife!

Reurus remained silent because he did not know the opponent's position or business, but the soldiers screamed to throw up. The Reurus who heard it wondered in his heart that he would not be understood.

(Courtesy... I knew the adventurers and the waste city people were ill-treated, but I wonder what kind of response they would take...)

Would I be satisfied if I lay flat and gave a lofty answer? Or is the soldier in front of you just protruding and tall?

If the opponent becomes a regular soldier, there is no way to take care of them. Reurus thought so and listened, but the soldiers were irritated and hesitated about what Reurus thought without returning the word.

"Why on earth would I do such a thing..."

A soldier murmuring, but one of the soldiers behind him pushes his horse.

"Dear Carlo, if we don't get this done soon, the sun will fall....."

"I know!

Soldier - Carlo yells at the frustration. Apparently they are in a higher position than the other soldiers, and the yelled soldiers fall back from horse to horse without contesting.

"Damn it... hey, you"

"... what is it?

At last, Reurus stood on his heart. I thought in one corner of my head whether I would be charged for the carriage repair or how much it would cost.

Carlo takes his sight off such a revulsion and explores his pocket to get something out. Then a small cloth bag fell to the ground and made a hard sound.

"One reward the other day. Pick it up."

"... is that a reward?

Reurus leans his neck against unexpected words.

(Remuneration, not for carriage repairs? Because you defeated Kimira?

The amount is unknown because it is in a cloth bag, but did you go all the way to Laval Waste City to get the reward? Though I think so, from Reurus, Carlo's attitude and reward delivery are not linked.

"Are you deaf? Pick it up!"

That's how Reurus picks up a cloth bag that is falling at his feet. Of course, I was vigilant about Carlo's movements in the meantime, but I never shook my spear again.

"Hmm... let's go!

When he saw Reurus pick up the cloth bag, Carlo turned his horse back. Then he tried to run away from the scene, but the soldiers who had refrained shouted in a hurry.

"Dear Carlo!? That's not all I need to know.

"Yeah, shut up! I don't know what I can count on from such a lowlife! Come on, follow me!

Carlo leaves such a scream and runs away manipulating the horse. Soldiers look at each other and greet each other with an unfortunate look, and Carlo is followed by a horse.

Within a minute, Carlo and the others disappeared, and Reurus unexpectedly gave out a stunned voice.

"Hey, Tony."

"What is it?"

"I was born in a country village and I'm a serf, so I don't know... was that polite?

If that's the case, Reurus took it very seriously that he had to learn the common sense of the world as soon as possible. Until now, Eliza had asked me about the area, but I think I should learn more aggressively.

"Nnawaki, right? Isn't he crazy? Certainly some of the soldiers are tyrannical, but it's unusual for them to go through there... no, I've never seen them before."

But Tony says in a dazed tone that denies the fear of Reurus. Perhaps Reurus was secretly relieved.

"I don't know who put it to use, but I don't think I have enough talent to make such a man famous..."

Tony shook his head as he murmured with a louder voice.

"I don't care where I belong if I don't get involved again... do you really think I can accept this money?

I'm glad Carlo left, but I wonder if it's really okay to accept the money that was given to him. I was told it was a reward, but I don't know who paid what.

I don't think it's a reward for defeating Kimira more than I said the other day.

"As long as I use the word 'reward', it won't be a problem."

"Hah... I wonder if the next time I smell trouble, I'll leave immediately."

Even if Sarah senses a heat source, if she doesn't come any closer, we should leave her alone.

It is possible to determine to some extent whether a person is human or not based on the speed of movement and movement of the heat source. Because monsters act alone or in a very small number, they should be avoided if more than a certain number of people are gathered to act.

"Do it, do it... and how much did that bastard come by?

That's how Reurus opens the mouth of the cloth bag he picked up. Then three gold coins rolled down from inside.

"... I've heard so much about the town, but didn't you fight two Kimiras?

"I think I broke the roof of the carriage, so I guess it was pulled...."

It was obviously cheap as a reward for getting rid of two Kimiras, but I was still convinced that the carriage had been paid for.

Reurus rearranges the gold coins in a cloth bag and looks at Tony and the residents of the town who were watching the road around the gate.

"For now, let me apologize for the inconvenience. I'm not convinced of everything, but this kind of money is all you have to spend.

The money I earned is a Reurus that I wanted to save as much as possible, but I should apologize to the town residents who gathered here and buy a drink instead. Money is neither clean nor dirty, but it is much easier to spend it immediately.

…………

Neddy was staring at a tired, shoulder-dropping revulsion.

Then two weeks later, before noon.

Dominic, who operates a restaurant in the abandoned city of Laval, raised his eyebrows when he realized that the door had opened even as he was preparing to open it.

It was the young man living in the neighborhood who opened the door. Though I tried to get rid of him while he was preparing to open the store, I immediately switched my mind by seeing the expression on the face of the young man who opened the door.

Dominic's husband, the leftovers are walking down the boulevard towards us.

"Really... corona"

"Uh-huh... be careful, Dad."

When Dominic called out to Corona, who was preparing to open the store together, Corona went upstairs with a worrying expression.

Laval Waste City basically doesn't refuse visitors, but if you're not alert, it's a different story. Sometimes people sneak into the city, looking at the low social status.

If it's so well informed, no one will be able to reach the "present” Laval Waste City, but it's never been more vigilant. Not only Corona, but the young daughter who lives near the boulevard will be hiding by now.

Dominique, who had dropped off the corona, sighed and squeezed a meat-cutting knife with a thickness like a hammer.

What was the rest of him like?

"He's smaller than my husband, but he's fat. My hair didn't grow, so I couldn't tell my age, but maybe 30 of them... matched my routine, with a sword and plain clothes."

The young man immediately answered Dominic's question as to whether he had witnessed the remainder first-hand. When Dominic heard that, he sighed and laughed small to work with the youth.

"I'm sorry. Next time I come to the store, I'll buy you a drink."

"Besides, my husband has been taking care of me for a long time. Besides, the whole town is family. If something happens to Corona, I get beaten up from around me."

The young man laughs back, closes the shop door and leaves. They must have gone to alert the neighbors.

"Is it superfluous... are you willing to stay or have a purpose..."

Dominic whispered as he played with the meat-cutting knife in his hand. I'm guessing you just visited the abandoned city of Laval without any information. If you stay, you may be able to see Dominique's restaurants.

But even so, the restaurant will open. When the redundant passes by the store, we must recall Corona and prepare Dominic to go around the store alone.

Dominic thought so, and the restaurant door was knocked. It's rough as an adventurer, and the sound of knocking on the door twice or three times.

"Excuse me."

And the man who opened the door and came into the store was the man with the style that the young man talked about earlier.

"I'm sorry, but the store hasn't opened yet... since the evening..."

Dominic held a meat-cutting knife in one hand and looked at the man's face with a grumpy expression on his face. And when you check that face, the words suddenly cut off.

The man looked at Dominic's face and said that he was relieved.

"--Long time no see, Dominic. Remember me?
