A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The clattering sound of dead trees burning in the fire.

Street stretching west from Laval Waste City. A place squarely divided by a wooden fence installed around it - the fire that burned in the station - lit up the surroundings in the darkness.

It's been three days since we left Laval Waste City, but we haven't had any particular problems along the way.

When Esther, a spiritual teacher, accompanied him, his men's complexion changed and his expression was distorted so that he could suffer from stomach pain from time to time, but it was a peaceful journey without monster or bandit raids.

Although Collard and the others were so calm on their journey, there were no more intermediate monsters approaching Eliza, and there were no bandits within Sarah's reach.

As a result, the journey to the fortified city of Accra was proceeding smoothly without being stopped on the way.

"Half gone... three or four days to Accra if we keep going."

Collard whispered while turning his back to the fire and watching out of the station. Likewise, Collard turned his back on the fire, but Reurus, who was looking in a different direction, thought of a path to Accra behind his head.

"You're early... I've been to Accra once, but it took longer."

Once, when Reurus travelled in search of dwarfs who could make weapons and armor, it took him about ten days to reach the fortress city of Accra from the abandoned city of Laval. Though they carried a lot of materials to make weapons and armor, in days it would make a big difference.

However, I was able to use the streets from start to finish on this trip, and even when I encountered soldiers patrolling the streets, Collard and the others were accompanying me, so I didn't have time to verify my identity.

There was no lie in Collard's words that only fast soldiers had been selected and brought in, and it was also significant that the Reurus, who were travelling with Reinforcements, were able to move without slowing down.

Running with all your might will pull you apart, but no matter how much 'reinforcement' you can use, the Reuses won't get tired. As a result, he moved at the speed of the soldiers, but Reurus was surprisingly healthy and healthy, wondering how fast the trained soldiers could make it.

In that case, only the movement speed of the ester was a concern, but it was fortunate for Reurus and the others that the movement speed did not need to be slowed down because the ester could also use "enhancement". However, he was so tired that he fell asleep with the exception of Reurus and Collard, who were sleepless.

(Soldiers train well... as I've heard before, it seems true they're stronger than adventurers.)

As far as standing by is concerned, Collard's men are less skilled than the soldiers of the Viscount Verg, who were guarding Ruvillia. He still seemed to be acquiring physical abilities that were not matched by a "vegetarian” revulsion.

"I was worried that Eliza would come with you, but there was nothing to worry about... young girls and adventurers, and all I could think of was scams like magic users."

There aren't many wizards after all? I thought there were not too many wizards in the army who made a living in battle. "

Reurus and Collard whisper to avoid waking up sleeping Eliza. Bedtime is essential to detect an attack, but it is emotionally painful to remain silent and vigilant.

"The original number is small. Let's just say there aren't so many soldiers who can use magic..."

Because the number of wizards is also directly linked to combat power, Collard obscures words. Though Kohllard was a wizard, maybe he had fewer wizards than Reurus thought.

"I see... by the way, is your“ physical condition ”okay?

When Reurus asks, not physically, Collard returns a distressing voice.

"Apart from the fact that the stomach medicine is about to pierce the bottom, there is no problem... I appreciate Esther accompanying me, but I still prefer Gilba..."

Reurus doesn't understand, but the presence of esters seems to be so great. Reurus strives to speak brightly back to the voice that conveys his anguish without looking at his face.

"Perhaps Zilba has arrived in the territory of the Viscount Vergu by mistake of Mr Collard....."

"In that case, I wonder if“ um ”Jilba and Esther, the spiritual teacher, will work to solve the problem... if I should be happy."

"On the contrary, when we arrive, Mr. Gilba may have solved everything.

Gilba's announcement to Esther is significantly exceeded, but she won't touch it. If Zilba travels alone, she will arrive in Accra much sooner than the Reurus.

Is it short or long if you assume that you can work locally for ten days in a round trip or twenty days? In fact, a month and a half has passed, so how fast Zilba must have travelled for almost a month at the latest to do "something” in the territory of the Viscount of Velg.

(But then, before Mr Collard comes to Laval Waste City... on the contrary, before the Knight Carlo arrives, Mr Gilba must have arrived in the territory of the Viscount of Velg...)

That said, we have asked Zilba to mediate, which means that Zilba has not arrived in the territory of the Viscount of Velg at least until Collard leaves for the abandoned city of Laval.

"Ha ha ha, that's easy. My men and I have had a hard time, but if everything is done in the meantime, we can laugh."

That's what Collard laughs at, but he thinks it's impossible.

It is unlikely that Zilba was the only one who suffered an accident in the course of his journey. Even if the bandits attacked us, they would smile and defeat us. If the advanced monster is the opponent, it may be dangerous in Zilba, but if the more powerful monsters emerge the more Zilba is defeated, the rumor will spread.

(Where are you and what are you doing....)

It seems likely that the Greeks are involved, but I don't think Gilba will be more and more delayed if the Greeks are against them.

But what happens if Reurus finds himself in a position called Bishop, the upper echelon of the Gregorians?

Reurus also knew the bishop of a woman named Canna, but he was skilled enough to fight Zilba against each other. If there were more than one such bishop, Jilba would be in trouble too.

(... no, I can't imagine him falling into trouble. Even if the bishop is fighting the Gregorians, I feel like I can handle it somehow....)

Reurus, who wondered whether this was also a trust, decided to return to his thoughts and ask him what he was worried about because it was an opportunity.

"By the way, Mr. Collard is a Spirit, right?

"... well, let's just say so."

"In the meantime...."

It was a revulsion that tilted my neck, but I knew there was something going on and didn't ask anymore. Instead, look at Esther sleeping happily alongside Sarah and Neddy.

"I don't really know a spiritual teacher, do I? Instead, you say you don't know much about spiritualism other than doctrine and form...."

"... Lord, are you really a spiritual guest?

A stunning voice comes from Collard, but when I hear of Spiritualism as a revulsion, I think of Gilba's face first. There are two spirits beside them that spirituals worship, so I don't know about spiritualism anymore.

"I know that spiritualism is a religion that naturally feeds the spirits by thanking the spirits who govern its attributes, such as fire and water, and that believers are classified as spiritual teachers and spirituals. But do you say that you don't know anything more or that you didn't want to know?"

I don't know anything more than what Jilba or Esther told me, so I wondered what spiritualism was like from others.

I have heard from Zilba about the detailed ranking of spirituals, but Reurus wants to know how spiritualism is treated from the public.

"Normally, I'd say tuition fees... hmm, well, that's good."

Did you think it would be a good idea to spend some time? Collard thought a little before he started talking.

"There are many towns and villages in this country, Mataroi, but spiritual churches are built in most places. It is rare that there is a church in a abandoned city, but it is not impossible... so remember this as a prerequisite."

"Gilba and the others are rare in the abandoned city of Laval."

"Hmm... that's it. In spiritualism, the doctrine of thanking the spirits who govern nature and its attributes is also deeply related to the work of people. People are part of nature, too."

That's what Collard says, but his gaze is still on the outside of the Station. Reurus is also not neglecting to be alert to the outside world.

"Man is born, raised, raised, and will eventually die... is that nature too? Therefore, in the spiritual church, praying for the blessings of the Spirit, marrying each other, and funeraling the deceased are closely related to the lives of the people."

Collard adds that it will not be the same in the Waste City. As far as the story goes, the memory of Reurus may not be that different from the religion that existed in the previous life.

(That's... the village of Shena where I buried the body of a dead child...)

Were there no spiritual churches, or were they not so eager spirituals? As Reurus feels subtle, Collard makes a gloomy voice.

"In other words... to Spiritualism, which is so closely related to the people, Viscount Werg brought in the Gregorians and sold the fight..."

"Ah... that's going to be a big deal."

There will be no other way for the Spirits to rebel against the religion that runs the coronation ceremony in Mataroy, which has attracted hostile religions.

(But I know that Countess Werg is going to be in trouble, but... is that the kind of person you don't understand?

Even if that were the case, my men and others would stop. At least if Collard had known in advance, he would have stopped it.

"When I arrived in Accra, Lord Gilba ruled everything... I'm sure I was wrong as a knight, but as one of the Spirits... I hope so."

Reurus did not have a word to return to Collard, who said so - Collard's wish never came true.

A week after leaving the abandoned city of Laval.

Reurus, who arrived in Accra as quickly as possible, heard from local spirituals that Gilba had not visited Accra.
