A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Hmm?... oh, I see you again, Reurus! Do you remember me?

Reurus stepped foot into Dominic's restaurant, but Collard glared slightly at Reurus's face, but immediately smiled and stood up from the chair.

"I remember... it's been a long time, soldier"

"Hmm, it's been a long time! You look great. What's the point? Hahahahahaha!"

Collard walks towards Reurus and slaps his shoulders with a laugh. Reurus accepted it silently, but was intrigued by Collard's friendly attitude.

(It wasn't supposed to be this time to talk with such a smile... but I have a bad feeling about it...)

Reurus stepped foot in Dominic's restaurant because he called himself by his name, but he became alert to Collard's attitude. Therefore, turning to Dominic, Dominic asked Collard with a serious voice tone.

"Lord Collard, I don't know what you're asking me to do to mediate with Reurus... is that a“ formal request ”as a knight?

"Hmm, I'm not mistaken about that perception. That's why I respected the abandoned city and walked magnificently in this outfit."

Collard, who was hitting Reurus on both shoulders, answered Dominic's question with the same serious voice. Dominic, who received the reply, sighed and nodded toward Reurus.

"Reurus, I know you have a lot to say about what happened the other day, but let's talk about it first."

"... if that's what Ooi-san says."

If Dominic tells me that, I have no choice but to say no to Reurus. However, I had doubts about Collard's words.

(I don't know what a formal request would be like as a knight, but wouldn't that be more like a knight? I don't know if it means I've chosen a dress that suits my opponent's position...)

Like Carlo who pushed me the other day, it would be a bad impression to be treated high even if I wore knightly gear.

But if you think you've taken the “steps” to get into the Waste City without causing any problems with your clothes or attitude, and want to meet Reurus through a leading figure in a town like Dominique - you can't treat it everywhere.

"Lord Collard, I am delighted that you have come in line with the course of our abandoned city. But I am the guardian of Reurus. Would you like to sit down and talk to me?

"Hmm... take good measures around here. I can't say I don't like it when I think about our position."

When Dominic asked for a seat, Collard nodded in hawk. After seeing the reaction, Dominique turned his gaze to the door where the revus came in.

"Please wait while I pay. And, Reurus, call Eliza... and bring some money along."

Dominic, who approached Reurus, whispered that the latter words would not be heard by Collard. When he heard that, Reurus leaned his neck small.

"Are you calling Eliza? And money....."

"He knows things I don't know, right? And you know how to spend your money."

Reurus nodded back to the whispering words.

Eliza is particularly knowledgeable among those close to Reurus. Dominic must have decided that she needed Eliza's knowledge while listening to Collard.

"This is the kind of soldier and knight I know who“ understands the story ”... you know?

(If I give you a bribe, you can talk a lot....)

Having heard Dominic's words, Reus nodded convincingly and rushed back home. And for some reason, when I caught Eliza lying on Reurus's bedside, I briefly explained the situation, and then I put a cloth bag in my pocket instead of a wallet and headed back to Dominic's restaurant.

When Reurus returned to Dominic's restaurant, Dominic appeared to include something in front of the shop. Then the inhabitants nodded seriously and ran out.

Looking around, there were no people around the shop, and it seemed that they paid as declared.

"I don't know... what kind of story is it about paying people?

Eliza asks confused if she feels the seriousness of Reurus and Dominic. For that reason, Reurus put his hand on Eliza's head with a bitter smile.

"I'm going to ask you that right now... Eliza, can you tell me if you have any questions?

"Uh-huh. I don't mind that... but let's talk first."

There were many things she wanted to say, but Eliza nodded honestly. Reurus laughed at Eliza and stroked her head, and with Dominic she dived through the restaurant door.

"I think I've named it before, but there are some formats... oh!

Did Collard see that he was ready? He stood up from his chair and coughed. And he looked at Reurus from the front and said with a grand mouth.

"I am Collard-Nate. The current“ proxy "of the Värg family is the messenger of His Royal Highness Louis-Vis-el-Sin-Värg."

Collard says his attitude and tone are knightly while dressing up as he travels. I didn't doubt it, but Collard really came here as a knight.

(Even if you don't mind the messenger... acting for me? Eliza used to say the oldest son when we talked, right?

The name Collard spoke of was something Reurus had heard of. It is the name of a young man who has been face-to-face on a journey to find dwarfs in search of a weapon that can be shaken to the fullest with "Caloric Liberation."

When she turned to Eliza because she was still worried, Eliza answered with a whispered expression.

"My lord... in this case, when the nobleman is unable to move for any reason in the“ true sense ”, I need someone to perform the duties on my behalf. I often have my natural wife or a natural child who has inheritance rights substitute for me, but if I've seen him before, my oldest son... will be qualified enough to substitute for me."

"What do you really mean, nobility?

"I'm not the one with the title. To put it roughly, the Lord of the House of Värg is a nobleman, but his wife is a nobleman's family…" the closest commoner to the nobleman ”. Of course, I'm not in a position to compare to ordinary people."

Reurus and Eliza spoke with Hisohiso, but Collard didn't blame them. As much as there is a big difference in each other's knowledge, they are taking care to bridge the gap and understand the story.

"May I continue? I came to this town for three reasons."

As Reurus and Eliza finished talking, Collard resumed the conversation with a letter out of his pocket.

"One is Reurus... No, Reurus, to give you a letter of gratitude from Louis."

"A thank-you note...?

Reurus was very confused when he received a letter from Collard. What are you thanking me for?

"Hmm. Was there a woman you saved on the western street about a month ago? This is Miss Ruvillia-Vis-secre-de-Velg... the second daughter of the Velg family, the sister of His Highness Louis."

The Reurus that was told was surprising and convincing.

(I thought you were the noble princess... wasn't Eliza mistaken?)

The clothes and the girl wearing them - Ruvillia herself - made me think of the possibility, but it seemed to be true.

However, as for Reurus, even if he was given a thank-you note, he would only have trouble responding. Written in Laval Waste City on paper that you don't see inside, but you can't find complex texts in Reurus.

In addition, my stomach doesn't swell when I get the letter. If you are willing to express your gratitude, Reurus would be delighted if you could give us some unusual ingredients.

"Louis also asked me to convey a word of thanks. I just wanted to say thank you for saving my sister, but I can't leave the territory right now. I want you to apologize for that."

"... I did receive a thank you note."

If Neddy hadn't said he wanted to help, he would have abandoned it, but he wouldn't have bothered to say it. Reurus received a word of gratitude with a special attitude.

"And the next thing I want to do is apologize. Carlo Nate, who visited this town about two weeks ago... for the rudeness with which he worked."

While saying so, Collard held his stomach down with natural movements. After a few deep breaths, the letter and cloth wrap are removed from the pocket.

"This is an apology from Lord Lewis and a small but apologetic payment... the amount is in the letter, so check it out"

Hearing Collard's words, Reurus dropped his gaze on the letter of apology he was given. The letter of apology was sealed with a sealed wax, and the surface of the wax was engraved with something resembling a crest.

"I don't know the details, but it looks like the crest that was engraved on the carriage the other day. I wasn't suspicious, but apparently the opponent was“ authentic. ”

Eliza murmured impressively as to whether there was a way to send a letter. However, since he did not have a paper knife with him, when he opened the letter with a dagger, Reus glanced at the text.

I can hardly read letters, but I understand my name and numbers. Therefore, I picked up the part of the number from the text and nodded against the apology money that was given.

"Ten gold coins... I did receive them."

I tried to show Eliza the text, but it didn't seem wrong. I thought it would be a bit expensive to give it to you to apologize, but I decided to accept it as a reward for defeating Kimira.

"So, what's the last thing you need?

With all the more moderation than I thought, Reurus encouraged the continuation of the conversation with a little relief. Collard then presses his stomach as he wanders his gaze.

"Uh-huh... the last thing I need to do..."

Collard muddy words somewhere. But did you decide not to proceed even if you were silent? Breathe deeply and then cut out the last thing.

"Laval Waste City Adventurer, Lord Reurus... not Spiritual Guest, Lord Reurus."

Before that, Reurus' consciousness, which was somewhat relieved, was rapidly tightened.

"I want to mediate with Spiritualism. - No, I want to arbitrate."
