A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Three days have passed since Collard visited the abandoned city of Laval.

While working as an adventurer, it was a Reurus waiting for Zilba to return, but it didn't go well - a vague conjecture, but it didn't seem like Zilba would return for the rest of his stay in Laval.

Therefore Reurus turned to the spiritual church on his return. Eliza and the others were sent home one foot ahead, and Reurus was alone.

"Oops, the kids are as good as ever... is Estelle here?

The voices of orphans coming from behind the church. Nearly a dozen children were living together, so they could hear the noise outside, but Reurus relaxed his cheeks due to his good health.

However, as soon as his expression tightened, Reurus opened the church door exploring the magic of Esther.

"Hello... Estelle, are you there?

I called because I felt the magic in the church, but there was no response. Not that magic was moving, but there should have been more ester than magic in the church.

It was a realuse that I thought maybe I was napping in the church, but I looked for Esther while thinking it was impossible. Then Esther appeared beside a stone statue that seemed to mimic the great spirits installed in the church.

Esther pokes her knees by the stone statue, closes her eyes and puts her hands together in front of her chest to pray for something. The concentration is also apparent, and you may not have noticed that Reurus stepped into the church and called out.

Ester is older than Reurus, nearly a year after he reached the age of fifteen, but the small size of slightly over 150 centimeters does not make him realize it. Closest to home, Eliza is taller than Corona.

However, it is only height that is smaller than the first two in a stylistic sense. Given his low height, does the style exceed even Natalia?

Wearing black based clothes similar to monk clothes, and wearing a black veil to reduce exposure, it was a revulsion that I thought of as a religious person.

--I visited this place because I had more to worry about than "that.”

Should I wait because I pushed him, or should I get him out again? Reurus patrolled slightly, but Esther opened her eyes before making a decision. And when he looked around and found Reurus, he opened his eyes surprisingly small.

"Mr. Reurus... how long have you been there?

In just a moment of surprise, Esther smiles as if she were unconscious, and this is another unconscious prolonged voice.

"Just now. Sorry to interrupt."

"No, I didn't realize it was my fault... so what can I do for you?

Esther asked while looking at the seriousness at the end of the words. Reurus worried about the answer, but decided that he couldn't afford to have a detour and hit a straight ball.

"It's about making sure Zilba isn't back and the spirituals are rebelling against the lord in the west."

"Oh... Jilba hasn't returned as usual, is that it?"

Esther put her right hand on her cheek and smiled in trouble.

"A messenger from the Värg family came to Reurus, a spiritual guest... I heard rumors about that. Is that right... did they know...?"

I'm sorry about Estelle's face.

When I asked about the whereabouts of Gilba before, the words were clouded, but if you are out for spiritualism, it is not strange to want to lie down on Reus, an outsider.

But this time, Reurus was also involved. Various factors are involved, but the "hand” has grown against Reurus, who has the position of a spiritual guest.

Because she knew it, Esther slightly lowered her eyes and blended the color of apology into her voice.

"I'm sorry... I didn't want to get Reurus involved!"

"No, you're involved, or you just shoved your neck in from over here... I've heard some things from you, but can I ask you what happened?”

He said he didn't want to get involved, but if the Reurus and the Adventurers were in the abandoned city of Laval without a request from the Adventurers' Union, there would have been a request from Gilba. Given that point, it seemed likely which way was involved.

(Wait... even if Zilba asks you to escort Esther, she looks more like Esther than us, and it's safer without contacting the aristocrats...?

I think about such things slightly out of my mind, but even if I talk about it now, it doesn't start. As Reurus stares at Esther, Esther begins to walk around for a few seconds.

The contents were almost identical to those told by Natalia.

I have heard rumors from somewhere that Esther, a great healing magician, has been asked to treat Ruvillia.

Even if asked to do so, we cannot leave the church orphans behind, and we need to leave Zilba in the church. In that case, we need escorts to accompany us to the territory of the Värg family, but Reurus, who has the skill to act as escort, was absent at the request of the Adventurers' Union.

After all, the opponent broke his leg and carried him to Laval, but Ruvillia's treatment was impossible with Esther's arms - "preferring treatment to" stories about spirituals living in the territory of the Viscount of Velg.

"... who were you talking about with the Spirits?

Reus, who was listening to Esther, asked about something that caught her.

"Was he a young man? Even though he was younger, he was older than me and Mr. Reurus, but... what do you mean? He was just a bit arrogant."

A little?

"... or pretty much?

It seems difficult for Esther to say whether she is bad at other people's mouth. However, there was a clause in Reurus that came to mind from the reaction of such an ester.

(Previously on Knight... was it Carlo?

It seems that Esther, a spiritual teacher, also penetrated her “attitude.”

Gilba should have accompanied her as an escort by performing a medical examination in the neighboring Laval, but if her attitude didn't change even before Gilba, it would be quite the opposite, Reurus groans inside.

"Because the Spirits who live in the territory of the Värg are uncooperative, I was told to instruct the Värg to cooperate as a spiritual teacher..."

"That one again....."

Reurus thought it would be amazing not to say anything.

Reurus is not familiar with spiritualism and does not understand the position of spiritual teachers, but it is unlikely that spiritual teachers (esters) can order spirituals (Gilba).

Gilba and I have travelled together several times, but the high reputation has been felt many times during the journey.

Of course Gilba is an exception, but I can't imagine Esther giving orders to spiritual opponents as a spiritual teacher.

"For now, I am a spiritual teacher, but I am a young man... even if you say that, I will be in trouble!"

"Didn't Gilba say anything?

It's basically a generous Gilba if you're dealing with someone other than the Gregorians, but there's a limit to everything. When Reurus asked, Esther smiled like she was in trouble.

"That's right... I smiled."

"Oh, yes, did you smile?"

--Isn 't a smile a smile full of intimidation with teeth peeled off?

It is a revulsion that can easily imagine Gilba's “smile”.

(Have you been arrogant not only to me but also to Esther and Gilba? If Jilba-san was angry, she probably had a terrible attitude....)

It was a realuse that understood the seriousness of the situation from Esther's troubled smile, but there was something that flashed unexpectedly in my head.

(When you took Kimira down, one of the soldiers thanked Mr. Zilba. Perhaps he sent us as his escort? I made Jilba-san angry, but I mistook you for secretly guarding me....)

Everything seems to have happened in places I don't know. Reurus concludes, bringing the story back to square one.

"You're a little off track. I came here today to ask if Gilba will be back in four days. If that's impossible, I've been told to take Esther to Accra...."

If Esther goes to Accra, the neighbors will take care of the children in the church. It also included corona, and it was Natalia's view that something could be done in about a month or two.

I asked Reurus thinking that leaving would be smooth if I talked to her beforehand, but Estelle's face became more and more troublesome.

"That's also Jilba's instruction... if Jilba doesn't come back after a month, ask Reurus and the others to escort you to Accra and work with the church to sort things out."

Apparently Gilba left instructions if she didn't come back, but Esther's expression is not good.

"Gilba has been away from this town for a month and a half... I don't think something has happened only to Gilba, but if the end of the situation is too prolonged, my view of spiritualism in this country will get worse..."

It would be a heavy burden for Esther, who would be younger than 20 years old. From Reurus' point of view, it was a relaxed ester, but the expression had a strong color of anxiety.

"...... I heard from Mr. Kanji that this case may also have a negative impact on the abandoned city of Laval."

It may put a burden on such an ester, but say what should be confirmed as the highest priority for Reurus. Then Esther smiled bitterly.

"Whatever happens in the territory of the Värg can happen anywhere… Gilba was certain of that. Admittedly, the strength of the Gregorians is worth it to those who rule the land."

This time it happened at a distance from the abandoned city of Laval, but by the time I realized it, there was a Gregorian nesting in the neighboring Laval - and that might be the case.

The “territory” of Zilba doesn't make it easy for Gregorians to step in around the abandoned city of Laval, but they might reach out while they're away like this.

"In the end, it's going to cause trouble to Reurus and the others. We were going to Accra to contain the spiritual rebellion, but perhaps the Gregorians... at least the priests, perhaps the bishops, are behind it."

Estelle tells Reurus with a serious expression and voice tone.

"... can you help me?

It was a word that seeped anxiety behind seriousness.

As far as Zilba is concerned, she doesn't have much to do with Esther. Still, Natalia told me that this case could have a negative impact on the abandoned city of Laval, so I couldn't leave it behind as a revus.

"I originally intended to. Is it Esther's expectation that the priest or bishop is behind this?

Therefore, Reurus nodded without feeling overwhelmed. Instead, she smiled lightly and checked, and Esther blinked several times before she broke up.

"That's what Jilba expects. That smell of heathen... I left without telling you..."

"Ah... that's not going to come off."

I can easily imagine Gilba speaking. Reurus smiled a little and turned his back to say he was done.

"Then get ready to leave. I'll be ready for you... if Mr. Gilba comes back by the time we leave.

Yes, I will…

First we have to go home and talk to Eliza and the others. I can't deny that Zilba will come back, but I've never been too prepared for it.

And four days later, without Gilba returning, Reurus and the others decided to take on a "new request.”
