A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Dominic's restaurant, where Collard left, had relaxed air.

Collard dropped his shoulder when he heard that Zilba was absent and left, leaving a message to reward Zilba when she returned because he had been in Laval for about a week.

Also, when Collard left, Reurus received two letters.

One is a letter to Zilba asking for arbitration, and the other is a letter to Reurus, a “Spiritual Guest."

If you think you can help without Gilba, visit the castle city of Accra. At that time, it was a kind of referral letter that would allow you to enter Accra without showing it to the gatekeeper in order to guarantee your identity.

Louis says he wants to thank her directly for saving her sister Ruvilia, even if he can't help her. Of course, there is no trace of dust such as the intention to go as a reus.

"Hmm... a Gregorian..."

After Collard left, Eliza sat down on her chair and whispered. The voice seeped with bitterness, and Reurus, who felt Eliza's mood, stroked Eliza's head silently.

(It's a family feud for Eliza, and she doesn't want to be involved with me.)

However, Reurus thinks to truncate the words that come to mind.

(Even if we don't want to get involved, sometimes it comes from the other side... the question is what Gilba is doing. With the help of the Gregorians, I wish I hadn't hit the Viscount Verg's house for any reason.)

That's what Zilba would do - maybe, I hope so, Reurus felt weak in his thoughts.

Reurus sighs and turns to Dominique, who keeps silent while bracing his arms. Considering the time frame, I felt guilty of any further interruptions while preparing to open the store.

"Oh-san, I'm sorry I got involved with us. I'll make sure to apologize at a later date, so for today...."

Dominic won't take the money. In that case, Reurus shook the conversation thinking about asking Dwarf Calvin to make cooking utensils. Dominic shook his head sideways.

"It's not a nuisance... you don't know, but sometimes this happens. I'm also the face of this town."

"Does that mean bringing in requests from elsewhere or asking for intermediaries?

"Ah... and wait a little while to go home."

That's how Dominic looks at the entrance to the store.

So, what do you think?

Reus leaned to the question, but the store door opened to respond to Dominic's voice. Then he looked at the person who had entered the store slowly and opened his eyes.

"... Mr...?

It was Natalia who was there, as usual, with a glossy smile. I wonder when she was outside the store. Not only Reus but Eliza was also looking out.

"I have a lot to say... but this time I'm glad I'm talking to someone who's" willing ”. No, I don't think you're saying that in a way.

Natalia walked through the shop at her usual pace, lowered her hips to the counter seat, and tied her long legs together.

"Did you hear what I said?

"Yes, everything from the beginning...."

"I see... I didn't realize at all"

Natalia's words drew Reus' cheeks, but I remember Dominic saying something to the neighbors earlier. Probably got the Adventurers Association to run and call Natalia.

(... that? Even if I ran away, it seemed like my husband would arrive too soon....)

Though Reurus has some doubts, the story Collard brought is more important now than that. Looking at Natalia with that in mind, Natalia glanced slightly at her neat eyebrows.

"Nevertheless, the Viscount Velg... is not a home that acts as a border guard for the southwest of Mataroi. The kid told me he could fight Kimira some time without magic, but that's convincing."

But what Natalia talked about was something slightly different from Collard's story. Still, I don't think Reus is going to say anything that Natalia is wasting, so I'm going to talk to her.

"It was definitely strong, but is it so famous?

"Yes, even for small and medium-sized businesses, they're crossing the border with each other. Even in Mataroi, they say it's powerful."

While saying that, Natalia always plays with her right hand with the pipe she carries.

"I hear not only knights and squires, but soldiers are well trained. You must have a lot of money. I envy you."

"... hmm? Knight or soldier, squire?

Natalia smiled thinly, but Reurus leaned his neck because of unfamiliar words.

"Well... if you're going to teach the boy and Eliza's daughter to understand better, you're a knight's man and a soldier's boss. Lead a soldier to obey a knight's orders, pass on his master's knight's orders to other knights... more trained than soldiers."

"Heh... you have a profession like that."

Or should I say class? As Reurus nodded with interest, Natalia narrowed her eyes to look far away.

"However, the other day... in the boy's opinion, the opponent was a young Kimira, right? I wonder if there were two of them, but to the extent that they didn't reach each other... were there fewer knights and squires? Not enough to escort the Werg lady... No, given the low probability of encountering two Kimiras?

"... Mr...?

Are you telling Reurus or putting together your thoughts? Reurus felt caught in Natalia's unusual moaning.

"I can't tell you this story... Boy, we talked about Gilba asking you to escort him, remember?

"Hmm? That's exactly what I remember, but what's wrong with that?

Now it seems better to listen to Natalia without stopping - when Reus decided to continue, Natalia sent Dominic a look-and-see.

"I'm out front. Call me when you're done."

"I'm sorry."

Dominic, who read Natalia's intentions, left the store immediately. Apparently Dominic can't tell you.

"I'm going to tell you my“ own story "... the daughter of the Viscount of Velg seems to be born weak. Did you learn of Esther's existence as a spiritual teacher and a great healing magician, or did you call Accra to treat her?"

…………

Reurus and Eliza listen to Natalia, but they don't say anything back. This is Natalia's solitude, and if she returns the word, she will lose Natalia's care.

"But it's hard for Gilba to travel to Accra by herself, Esther. I hope Zilba will accompany you, but you will leave the children of the church for a long time... and even if you named them medical examinations, you wanted to avoid sending spiritual teachers to places where spirituals are rebelling against the lord."

It was Natalia playing with the smoke pipe, but the expression was somewhere dark. With that in mind, Reurus listens to the continuation of the story.

"The compromise was a Tyrier between Accra and Laval... and there was a story like that, but it ended up flowing over there and carrying her to Laval. I don't know what the Viscount Velg thinks about traveling when he's weak."

It appears that the noble children were unable to enter the abandoned city of Laval and were to be examined within the walls of Laval. I'm not interested in the results, but if Reurus and the others were here, they would have asked me to escort Esther to Accra or Tyrier.

(Were you lucky to have left town by “coincidence” when you asked me to investigate the monster... no, I ended up in trouble...)

Alternatively, I was sent to investigate the monsters, which is why I was able to help Ruvillia and the others.

"Probably, but at the time of the medical examination, you talked about the Spirits living in the territory of the Viscount Velg. It was only after Gilba left."

Were you heading to the territory of the Viscount Velg, or is there “something else”? It was a revulsion that tried to guess Zilba's behavior, but I didn't think it was possible, so I immediately stopped thinking.

Was it the same with Natalia? I sighed a little.

"Well, let's leave it to ourselves... to work as a receptionist for the Adventurers Association in this town."

If you say so, Natalia's air changes slightly. Regardless of the seriousness seeped into the air, Reurus trembled as if she were frightened.

"This is what I'm talking about. If Gilba doesn't return to town while the Knight was in Laval, I'll ask the Reurus."

"I have a bad feeling about this, but... what's your request?

Reurus raised his eyebrows when he heard Natalia's words, but nevertheless encouraged the conversation to continue. Natalia stares straight at the revus and talks about the request.

"Take Esther, the Spirit Teacher, to Accra and check the situation. In this case, if we succeed, the fire will fly to this town."

Natalia's expression was more serious than Reurus had ever seen.
