A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Three days have passed since Lewis and the others met.

In the meantime, Reurus and the others have not done much. I was just watching out for the Gregorians, escorting Esther across Accra and repeating the meeting with some of the city's leading figures.

What connection was there with Spiritualism, or whether all the people I met were spirituals, the people I interviewed welcomed them all with no Esther underneath.

Visits without prior appointments were not paid in advance, but rather were welcomed with gratitude. The guards did not treat Reurus badly, and asked how influential Spiritualism was in Mataroi.

With the exception of the Värg family, which will be the most senior in the town of Accra, Esther takes the lead in greeting those who stand above and influence the surroundings, such as the city's masters, traders, and tavern owners.

To affect many people, it would be more effective to discourage those who stand “up". Concealing that it was a request from the Vicomte, Esther smiles and accepts the grievance of the current state of the city of Accra.

Of course, the reaction varied depending on the other person, but unexpectedly, Esther responded with dignity. From Reurus' point of view, Gilba's impression was too strong and unreliable, but taking advantage of the position of a spiritual teacher and negotiating with courtesy was an opportunity to significantly change his impression.

(Hmm... a woman who can work with tequila. That's nice.....)

Reurus had the impression that Esther was calm and relaxed, but he seemed to have the ability to negotiate commensurate with his position. As long as I was envious of the Reurus, who was not good at negotiating.

"For now, I've been around a bit, so let's reach out to the market next time."

"I'm worried about places with a lot of people...."

He's going to check on the residents after he meets with the influential people. That's understandable Reurus, but I don't know where the Gregorians are coming from in a crowded area.

If she believes Laurent, she doesn't seem to be thinking about what to do with Esther, a spiritual teacher. However, it also had the impression that Laurent was alone, and I couldn't get out of my mind as a revulsion.

"Reurus and the others will protect you, right? That's why it's okay."

"... if you say so, I can't refuse."

Reurus responded with a sigh to Esther laughing. Even though there are many people, none of the residents will approach the adventurers, Reurus. If so, it is possible that those approaching have some intent.

(That's exactly what magic is all of a sudden... it won't happen.)

Even if you are magically targeted from a long distance, you can deal with the Reurus. It was decided that this should be in line with Esther's wishes.

That's how the market stretches out, full of life unlike the abandoned city of Laval.

There are many merchants alone, such as shopkeepers, people who sell food on simple wooden stalls, and open-air merchants who just spread out their cloths and arrange their products. And the number of residents visiting those shops was even higher.

Surrounded by hustle and bustle, the powerful voices of merchants who attract customers and the voices of customers who negotiate discounts are widely spread.

"Ugh... there's too much" heat ”to turn my eyes around..."

It was a realuse of admiration and astonishment at the number of people, but I could hear Sarah's painful voice and turned to you.

Sarah, who senses the heat source and is in charge of searching for enemies, is about to turn her eyes as she says, and her head is flabbergasted. With over a hundred lightly populated residents gathered, it seemed like it was best to just sense those heat sources.

"If only you could find a source of heat that moves strangely..."

"Hmm... I don't know which one of these strange moves the fever is going to go that way or that way..."

Should it be Sarah's unexpected weakness or a natural outcome? Sarah's weak and tearful appearance bothered her head, wondering what happened to Reurus.

I wonder if there is a radar in my head, and as far as I can see, it is still reacting on one side and moving around in disorder.

Speaking of the sense of revulsion, is it like everyone around you has all sorts of magic, big and small, and you can feel it all? Because it is Sarah of the Spirit, it is enough to turn my eyes, but if the human revulsion is in the same position, the blood vessels in the brain are going to be cut.

"Reurus, I will... Neddy will help."

Instead of relying on Sarah's heat source detection, Reurus wondered if he would continue his escort, but Neddy shouted unexpectedly.

"Neddy? I appreciate that...."

Reurus was puzzled by Neddy's desire to move voluntarily. I said I would help, but I don't know if I can search for enemies who feel magic like Reus or heat like Sarah.

"I feel the water around me... is that okay?

"Mi, water? I mean, ahh... is that it?"

Although I can't recall the exact percentage, most of the body should have been moisture. I'm convinced that's what Neddy is saying.

"Neddy did that, didn't he? No, it's amazing."

Not only ice magic and water magic, but it was also possible to search for enemies. Reurus was honestly impressed, but Neddy raised his eyebrows somewhere.

"Hmm... aren't you angry?

"Huh? Are you angry? Why?"

It's about Neddy. I didn't hide it, and Reurus didn't ask, so I guess he didn't answer. Or were you unaware of what you could do under the influence of what you had originally spent in an empty place?

Neddy is accompanying Reurus and the others, but he didn't make a 'deal' like Eliza or Sarah. Alternatively, like Meer, they are not accompanied in anticipation of the care and dexterity of the "Dragon Slasher".

Of course, I'm glad Neddy came with me, but as a Reus, I didn't mean to blame Neddy for his actions. Instead, I was surprised by Neddy's spontaneous suggestion, and at the same time I was delighted - Sarah jumped up and raised her hand to block the feelings of Reurus.

"Yes, yes, yes! I knew it would be all right! I'm feeling better! Whether it's a scout or a flamethrower!

"Let's not fire it up, shall we?

Sarah, who makes dangerous remarks about whether or not Neddy is feeling confrontational, and Meer, who is used to stopping such Sarah. According to Dwarf's Meer, Sarah, the Spirit of Fire, was supposed to be a subject of faith, but she was already “used to it.”

"Oniisan, I envy you for bringing me beautiful places! If you don't mind, check out our shop!

If you're making a noise like that, you can be surprised to hear it coming from lying down. Reurus, who was not hostile and caught by the call, looked at it, and a man who thought it was an open-air merchant smiled.

I would be in my forties if I were to judge by appearance alone. A slightly fat but affectionate merchant, Reurus turns his eyes and laughs deeper and deeper.

The merchant laid cloth on the side of the road, lined up with unfamiliar grass and small pots with lids. There is no description or price tag on the product and if you buy it, you will need to negotiate with the merchant.

(... it's unusual for you to call me instead of Estelle)

Regardless of the merchant's call, Reurus wondered that he had been called. Esther and the lightweight Elizabeth were still caught up in spearheading Reurus, who was clearly dressed as an adventurer.

"Grandma, I'm an adventurer...."

"If you look at that, you'll see! But you see, here's the shopkeeper and the customer, right?

By being next to Esther, I may have mistaken him for a private soldier rather than an adventurer. The merchant's attitude did not change when he called.

(As a merchant, of course...?

Does it mean that if the other party is a customer, it doesn't matter who they are? It was a reflux that deepened the confusion, but merchants took the unfamiliar grass regardless of the reflux.

"The adventurer is out of town, isn't he? In that case, look, he's the one I recommend!

That said, the grass presented is not so big. Five elongated leaf-like objects are bundled in a bundle, the size that fits in the palm of the realus.

"Even if they say I recommend it... it only looks like grass."

"Hahaha! Sure, it's grass. But grass is either grass or vanilla!

A merchant man smiled and threw a bunch of grass at the tip of the rear nose. Then you can feel the slightly irritating smell.

"Dinner eaten in the wild doesn't taste good, does it? But it's delicious if you chop it up and cover it with salt."

"I'll buy"

Reurus that decides to buy without confirming the price. I wasn't dissatisfied with the salt flavor, but I welcomed the increase in the variation in flavor.

"Really? This one enhances the flavor of the ingredients even raw, but when it's dried and then crushed, it tastes different again..."

"All of them, please"

There were five bundles of vanilla, but the revulsion stopped buying all of them. I could use it myself, but I was thinking of making it a souvenir for Dominic.

Of course, don't neglect to be vigilant while talking to merchants. It was also the act of revulsion that I tried to catch on to the big game.

(Yes... this is an act to see Grandma's sudden reaction... yeah, it's not because she was caught by vanilla...)

I don't know where anyone leads to Gregorianism. Therefore, this is an act.

"All of it... a bundle of 150 yuan, but if you buy all of it together, I'll make it 30% cheaper.

"30% off? All right, I got it!

It is a good thing to think of Japan from the previous life, but it is the first vanilla I have seen in the world. There was no doubt about Reurus.

(Five bundles of 150 yuan, so 750 yuan, or 525 yuan if you subtract 30%)

Reus took a cloth bag instead of a wallet out of his pocket and handed him six silver coins. Then the merchant returns five large pieces of copper - "50 yuan”.

"Grandma, there's only 25 yuan left."

"... ahh, sorry! I made a mistake! Don't apologize, but don't give me a fraction!

That's how a merchant returns a piece of silver. Reurus looked around as he received the silver coins.

"I'd buy more if I had a bundle of 100 yuan... don't you have it in stock?

"... I'm sorry, but this is the last of them. I don't even know when I can buy it next."

Reurus dropped his shoulders and was disappointed at the merchant's words. Vanilla is not sold in the abandoned city of Laval. Though I thought of buying as much as I could on this occasion, I can't help it if I don't have the actual product.

"So, Grandma, what's in this pot?

"Oh, is this it? Your eyes are high! This is a condiment too, but they bought all the vanilla together. Check the taste."

The merchant took the lid of the pot and showed it to Reus, thinking it was probably salt.

Inside a small pot about the size of a palm was a light brown powder. When the lid is opened, the sweet scent spreads and the eyes of Reurus are opened.

The light brown powder was as big as sand and slightly moist. Because I was recommended to taste it, I dropped a little light brown powder on the palm of my hand and licked it with my tongue tip.

"Hmm!?

--The cerebral medulla exploded.

An illusory shock spreads over the tongue.

It was the first intense sweetness I felt in this world. The hand of Reurus trembled at the smell of a cluttery thing that was so impactful that the brain couldn't understand it.

"Isn't it delicious? The southern harvest is sugar that flows from country to country from time to time. The price is three gold coins -"

Before the merchant could finish, the instantly moving hand of Reurus offered three pieces of gold.

And I hold the pot with both hands, not to mention that this sugar is mine.

"This is also in stock...."

"I'm sorry. That's the last of it."

Why didn't you visit this place earlier? Reurus was disappointed that he was about to burst into tears. Still, it's the first time in the world that I've gotten sugar to fill my heart with frustration.

"Do you know any other sugar shops?

"... no, I'm sorry, I don't know."

I'll check, but it seems that sugar is also rare. With a small amount of sugar and vanilla, Reurus has a full smile.

"I've never seen such a happy smile before....."

Eliza murmured when she saw the smile of Reurus, but it didn't reach Reurus' ear.

Laurent told me of the bishop's presence and he was in a terrible state of war, but now I feel like I can cook with one or two bishops.

No, Mr. Reurus seems to be having fun, what's more...

Seeing the revulsion with great joy, Esther narrowed her eyes with a smile.

Shortly after Reurus and the others left, the merchant man murmured.

"You can calculate and calculate much faster than the merchants around you... are you a merchant or were you born into a wealthy lineage? I'll report to Mr. Lewis."
