A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Arbitration to Spiritualism - Collard's words disappear into the store.

Both Reurus and Eliza and Dominic were silent as if they had lost their words.

(Arbitration to Spiritualism... any mediation, arbitration?

Who should I arbitrate spirituality with? It could be a town, a village, not an individual, or all of the territory of Count Werg, whose name was given earlier.

But before that, there's something you should check first.

"There's something I want to check first... but when I hear that, it's not like I can never say no, right?

Reurus asks to break the silence.

Appreciation for helping Ruville and apologizing for Carlo were “front seats," and I thought the last story was true. It is also a way of cutting out a very annoying smell without asking the details.

You talk about confidentiality on your own, and if you refuse, you kill me. I don't want to be pushed into such recklessness. If you were brought into trouble thinking that you could kill someone in the Waste City, you would have to resist with all your might as a Reus.

"If you'll excuse me, but at the end of the day, you can choose whether you want to take it or die... I'll end this conversation here."

I accepted both gratitude and apology, but I am not willing to accept obvious trouble. When Reurus said that with his face, Collard shook his head sideways with a bitter smile.

"Rest assured that such measures will not be taken only this time. In the first place, what would you do to hurt spiritual guests by asking them to arbitrate with Spiritualism? Besides, is he close to Lord Jilba? At least I don't want to turn that benevolent into an enemy."

"That's probably true, but...."

Although it is true that he fell, Reurus knows very little about the nobles and knights of this world. There was a case of Carlo the other day, and I couldn't deny the possibility of saying something that was okay and rude.

(Besides, only this time...)

If it is necessary, if it is possible, we will not hesitate to choose. This time, it seems that there will be extra problems when I execute it, and I wonder whether I should be relieved as a revulsion or whether I should stick with such problems.

"And I'm not going to bother turning people into enemies in the Waste City. I'm not familiar with the way you work with me, but killing people in the Abandoned City without a good reason is embarrassing."

That's what Collard says, but I don't know how much I can trust it. Not only Reurus, but Eliza and Dominic were on the lookout, and Collard sighed.

"I don't understand your concern either... but personally, I owe you one. I swear I won't lie even if I owe you back."

"... borrowing? Anything wrong?

Collard says he's tired somewhere, but there's no such thing as a revulsion. As he tilted his neck, Collard waved with a bitter smile.

"What, did you forget? Didn't you give me a hand? [M] A group of more than twenty bandits, half of whom were captured and half of whom were captured. That is a great debt to me. It's a big game that can't be won, even if you want to win it."

Apparently I'm talking about the first time I met him, but as a realuse, I'm worried that I should take it honestly.

(... do you really think so? You're just borrowing it from me, and you're trying to make me listen... is that too suspicious to think so?

For Reurus, even if he paid, he didn't think it would be a loan to Collard because he just wanted to “handle” the bandits.

Collard also said at the time, but even though the opponent is a bandit, there are nearly ten dead bodies rolling in the middle of the street. Unless it was killed by a monster, the Adventurer (Reurus) was slashing down the bandits.

According to Collard and the others who were patrolling the streets, even though they had captured half of the bandits, Reurus, who slashed and abandoned the other half, looked more dangerous.

(Thinking so, taking care of all the trouble with three gold coins... it seems that this person soon realized that I was a spiritual guest, and he also gave me advice “afterwards".)

Collard himself seems to be in charge, but if he's in the opposite position, he'll never take it. Reurus thinks he doesn't need it, whether it's a samurai or a medal.

We can't trust them all, but at least we can't ignore them without listening. Now that Spiritualism is involved, I don't know when or where the flames will fly to Reurus, who has signed a "contract" with Sarah and brought Neddy.

If you are free to accept or refuse, at least listen to me. When Reurus turned to Dominic, he nodded whether Dominic was thinking the same thing.

"... let's hear it."

Stop Gilba, who hasn't seen her in over a month, because she's rampaging elsewhere - and Reurus talks to Collard as he decides to turn down such a request immediately.

The beginning dates back to when the Reurus went on a journey to find the dwarves in search of weapons.

Walking west through the street from the abandoned city of Laval, there is the fortress city Tyrier, and further west, there is the fortress city Accra.

The Värg family is based in the fortified city of Accra and dominates the neighboring villages.

Among the countries on the Caldeba continent, it was the Värg who was in a position to assemble in the southwestern part of Mataloy, bordering the small country of Yellen, a national colloquium that was easily counted as medium-sized.

There is a mine called the Valley Mine in the territory of the Värg family, and it seems to have produced quality metals, magic stones, and, very rarely, "jewels."

Occasional collapses have occurred in these Valley mines. It was so unnatural and so frequent that places that could not collapse began to collapse.

Originally rumored to have dwelt near the Valley Mine, the Duke of Werg - the main Duke of Werg - ordered details of the dwarf's work, taking into account the likelihood that it was his.

It is also related to the financial resources of the Värg family, and it would be natural to embark on a clarification of the situation. And, of course, I would like to solve it rather than clarify it if possible.

But let's say the dwarf is a bad guy from the mine collapse. In that case, what should I do with the dwarf? The opponent is the “um” dwarf, even if he tries to exterminate the disturbance.

The ranks as monsters vary from intermediate to high, but the dwarves are rough and are good blacksmiths, so they use better things than the armor soldiers use. He is also a subordinate who is small but has excellent strength and uses "strengthening".

Still, the strength of the Viscount Velg to cross the border will suffice. Even if there were just a few, it would be possible to use the number and the collaboration to finish it off. Normally, the Värg family was strong enough to think so.

But we can't put all that power into finding and destroying dwarves. I don't know if it was a soldier or a bandit, but there were reports of an “armed band” operating near the border, and few fighters assigned to investigate the cause of the Valley mine's collapse.

No matter how powerful you are, there are limits to what you can do with fewer. The investigation of the cause did not proceed late enough to raise the voice that the Valley mine should be temporarily closed for the safety of the coal miners.

We can cook anything if we find whoever caused the collapse. But we can't find the killer. Even among the inhabitants of the fortress city of Accra, the reason for the collapse was rumored to be the presence of dwarves, but there was no prospect of resolving the situation.

― ― In fact, there were no dwarfs involved in the collapse of the Valley mine, and a small number of dwarfs formed the village in a group of nearly fifty people, but no one knew about it at the Viscount Velg.

The culprit of the disturbance could not see the shadow or form, but as Count Werg could not leave the matter unattended. It was the job of the Count of Werg to solve the problems in the territory - an unexpected “helper” appeared there.

"So, let alone the help of the Gregorians... hey, I told you to go home to the Lord right away?

That's how Collard drank water and sighed deeply.

"What happens when Spiritual Guests and Gregorians face each other, and what happens when the Vicomte finds out with the help of the Gregorians..."

Collard talks tired. But as a revulsion, doubts arise.

"Er... Mr. Collard? Whatever I'm saying, isn't it so bad to have the help of a Gregorian?

We've killed each other once, but we can't deny our strength. In a sense, I was also an expert in the defeat of monsters, and I didn't think it would be a bad idea to borrow their help.

"I don't need to ask... does that mean that you don't know how to treat Gregorianism in Mataroi?

"Spiritualism is more pervasive, and Gregorianism... that's all I know."

I have fought the Gregorians, but I don't know what kind of treatment they are receiving in Mataroi, where the Reurus live. I learned from Zimbabwe what doctrine Gregorianism holds and what form it takes to organize itself, but it was much better than that.

"In Mataroi, Japan, it is forbidden to use the help of the Gregorian religion. I was able to save an innocent people from being attacked by a monster... and I wouldn't miss it if I could. Basically, nobles and knights can't afford the help of Gregorians."

"... there's a reason, right?

"Of course."

Collard nodded back and raised his eyebrows in a mood with his arms braced.

"Gregorians... they stand up. And whosoever is given a higher rank than a minister is not of equal skill, as long as he is a man of the end who only worships. Being a bishop is good enough to defeat advanced monsters alone... you know that?

"I know. The priest fought twice, and the bishop saw Gilba fight one-on-one."

Even the Gregorians, who did not reach the sacrifice Collard spoke of, were highly skilled from Reurus. Because of the "contract" and "caloric release" with Eliza and the others, Reurus can fight more than each other, but the image of winning more than being a bishop is incomprehensible.

"I don't want to fight either. Now, what do you think would happen if there were more than one person with such an arm to lend a hand for free? In addition to being able to defeat powerful monsters and subhumans, they also have the lightness to move instantly if there is anything different from soldiers...."

"That's... well, it's convenient."

Um, “convenient.” Especially from small villages and township-apart from lords and soldiers. "

That said, Collard's expression was becoming increasingly moody. If you don't like it, you can tell the whole face.

"A benefactor who saved my life for free from the people who were saved, and a trouble from the people who were supposed to protect me. I can't blame you for saving me. Just to praise and accept, the original job responsibilities get in the way, and if you throw them out, the people who were saved will have bad feelings."

That's how they infiltrate, Collard said.

"And what do you think would happen if the people of Gregoria would come together... from village to town, from town to country, rather than the lord of the land?

A Gregorian who defeats powerful monsters, stronger than soldiers, without oppression. From the one who was saved, it could even be called the God of salvation.

In this way, we will increase the number of people who are grateful, sympathetic, and faithful at the end of the sentence, and steadily lay the foundation.

Sometimes, in other countries, Gregorianism actually “devours” the upper echelons of the country, Collard says.

"I know what you're trying to say, but is it going so well?

"If my environment doesn't change or the environment gets better, the people won't complain even if the“ up ”changes unless they can govern it as well... well, it's a distraction. The Vicomte de Velg had the help of such poisonous beings."

Collard was also a Spirit, and his tone was somehow similar to that of Gilba. However, as a revulsion, I can only ask questions.

"There's a rule that you shouldn't use the help of Gregorians, right? Why did you do that...."

"Well... I don't know what the Vicomte thinks. So when I realized the situation, Louis led his troops into the investigation to solve it before the Gregorians did....."

That said, Collard drops his shoulders without saying that he is exhausted.

"After breaking up with the owners, we found the killer... a senior monster called 'Castle Collapse' was the killer. Two Gregorians denied it, but rumours spread among the people of Accra that the Gregorians had defeated a superior monster."

Reurus pulls his cheeks to the appearance of Collard holding his stomach down. I heard the name "Castle Collapse".

"By inviting Gregorians, spirituals are rebelling in the territory ruled by the Viscount Verg. There are many spirituals in our country, so the size of the rebellion... uhh, my stomach..."

The stomach hurt severely while talking. Collard's expression was severely distorted and cold sweat flowed from his forehead. Still, Collard keeps telling the story in order to fulfill his responsibilities.

"I have also told the King's Landing that the Vicomte is now cautious... and therefore Lord Lewis is handling the situation on his behalf, but this is not going to work."

Collard removes the cloth from his pocket and wipes away the cold sweat that is about to fall.

"That's why I'd like to ask you to arbitrate... No, you can just mediate with Lord Zilba. With his help, things could get a little better....."

I was worried about whether it was really okay to ask, but the sooner I looked into it, the more the Spirits would rebel on a large scale.

Reurus told Collard that he was in trouble while distorting his expression.

"That's why Jilba's been away for the last month... and I don't know when she'll be back."

In response, Collard's expression was stained with despair.
