A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 238: Remuneration Part 2
The journey from the fortified city of Accra to the abandoned city of Laval proceeds without incident.
Looking at the truck full of luggage, it was likely that the bandits would attack with their eyes, but the bandits would never attack it because they went through the street, or simply because they were lucky.
However, if there is a bandit who will dive through Sarah's heat detection and attack over Reurus and Gilba's vigilance, it will be more than just a bandit.
Eliza's presence prevented the inferior monsters from approaching, and she was able to safely return to the abandoned city of Laval.
----Except for the situation of Collard, the person in charge of transporting the truck, it was peaceful.
Nice day, Lord Collard.
"Ha, yes! It's a wonderful travel day, Mr. Gilba!
Gilba whispers to Collard, who is holding the rope, while the horse tows the wagon. But in response, Collard sweats cold and throws his usual tone.
"Haha, as long as I'm Esther, I'm not like being called knightly. I have told you many times along the way, please feel free to contact me."
"Ha, haha... even if you say so..."
Collard's cold sweat is increasing compared to Zilba's smile.
Although this was repeated several times along the way, Collard did not put Gilba down, but rather did not break his attitude towards his superiors. The hand holding the rope was also trembling slightly, and the vibration was transmitted or the horse towing the wagon looked annoying.
Probably, but Jilba has no malice. Collard seems to have various “backs” for this trip, but he must be speaking from pure courtesy, considering his position.
Instead, it was Esther who was in a bad mood, keeping away from Collard and his men and Eliza. I wonder if there is a problem with being a spiritual teacher, but Esther is still young. Sometimes you won't be able to reconcile emotions.
Instead of such an ester, Zilba tries to take the lead in the conversation - but what Collard does with Zilba's behavior is a different story.
"... Mr. Collard seems to be a Spirit too, and you're paying tribute to Mr. Gilba, the second-largest Spirit?
That's why Reurus is sending out a help ship. Sarah is vigilant and has plenty of time to move forward, but she is sympathetic and intimate with Collard.
"Uhhhh! That's right, Reurus! As a knight, but a man who believes in spiritualism with me!
"That's right. And because Gilba is older, I respect her."
I don't think there is a culture of respect for being older when I think about living in the abandoned city of Laval, but it would be enough to be a "good reason” for being here.
"Hmm... I see. If Lord Collard says it's good, I won't say anything either....."
Gilba nodded convincingly, and Collard stroked her stomach instead of relieved by the words of Gilba.
"Now, may I ask you about the kindness of those who share the same religion?”
"... please forgive me."
But then, following Zilba's words, which were thrown with a smile, Collard shook his neck weakly as he sprayed a lot of cold sweat.
Reurus, who was listening to Zilba and Collard's conversation beside him, unexpectedly looked up at the clear sky.
Although the journey was such a “heartwarming” scene, the Reurus were able to return safely to the abandoned city of Laval.
It took nearly two weeks to get from Accra to Laval Waste City, but it wouldn't have taken half without the van.
Nevertheless, he was never attacked by bandits or powerful monsters - rather, Reurus attacked monsters while replenishing magic and securing food, but he was able to return safely.
"Who are these... Reurus?"
As we approach the abandoned city of Laval, the gatekeeper, Tony, rushes in. And whoever tried to say anything, when they realized it was the Reuses, they smiled casually.
"Hey, it's been a while. Gilba's husband and Estelle's daughter seem to be well...."
Tony remained smiling not only at Reurus, but also at Zilba and Esther's return. However, when his gaze was directed at Collard and his men, he raised his eyebrows suspiciously.
"... what do your knights want?
"I'm sure we're on the lookout, but we're guards... even if we lay aside the question of whether we needed them."
Without blaming Tony for his attitude, Collard answered shoulder-to-shoulder. Instead of getting angry with Tony's attitude, I'm sure he'll be relieved when he finally finishes his escort.
"... the guards aren't so calm. Hey, Reurus, what's going on?
"There was a lot going on. The aristocrats who rule Accra... Ah, I got a reward from Louis, the current deputy of the Vicomte de Velg, for the Estelles, but they were guarded because they were expensive and expensive...
Tony scratched his head as Reus tilted his neck, wondering if he needed to pay the tax as well.
"That guy again... I can't say anything, so go to the union first. You and the union president will do something about it. For now, let me check the contents.
While saying that, Tony looks at Esther and she nods with a smile. Seeing that as an endorsement, Tony quickly began to see what was loaded into the truck.
"It's okay if you take it this far. Mr. Collard and the others are going back to Accra?
Reurus, who decided it would take some time to check with Tony, shook Collard. Laval Waste City is just ahead of your eyes and nose, and Reurus and Gilba decide if you want to tow the truck.
"... no, I'm staying in Laval first. In this costume, will the scrappers be on guard? We will visit again at a later date."
But the response was a little unexpected. Apparently Collard has other purposes besides escorting the luggage, and Reurus jumps one eyebrow.
"Hmm... what can I do for you?
Gilba smiled as though she was caught in Collard's words. Then, Collard, who was removing the equipment from the wagon, waved his hand in a hurry.
"Gee, never imitate a Laval Waste City to its detriment! And I want you to believe me!
For Collard, the tone was majestic, either because Tony was an outsider. However, because her voice was trembling, Jilba who heard it said, "Why are you so scared? It seems strange.
"I see... we are looking after the abandoned city of Laval, so I can't say a big deal, but I look forward to welcoming you."
"Uhhhh! So, Reurus, can I take care of the van?
Collard shouted to Reurus to finish his conversation with Gilba. Seeing that desperation, Reurus nodded with a bitter smile.
Yeah, I'll take care of it.
"I left it to you! Now, if you'll excuse us!
After removing the equipment from the wagon, Collard bowed to Esther and Gilba and took his men to Laval. Reurus, who had dropped off Collard and the others' backs, turned to Tony, who was inspecting the cargo.
"Tony, is there a problem?
"No, there's no problem....."
Though Tony carefully checked each of the items in the wagon, even the contents of the jar and big bag, he began to look directly under the wagon and on the side. Then look at Eliza, Sarah, Meer and Neddy's face and look at Esther and Gilba before turning a serious eye to Reurus.
"Where's the new kid? Are you coming after me?
"What are you talking about with a serious face?!
Reurus screamed at Tony's unexpected remarks.
"I know exactly how Tony looks at me... depressed..."
Returning to the abandoned city of Laval, Reurus nodded as he towed his truck towards the Adventurers' Union.
I don't know how to help thinking about "so far”, but it was a shock that I was seriously asked, not a joke mix.
There have been three occasions twice, and there is no choice but to think that it will continue after three times. However, it is a realuse that I did not expect to encounter doubt until I thoroughly inspected the truck.
Reus, who arrived at the Adventurers' Union in a depressed manner, leaves Eliza and the others with the luggage to open the door. Together with Esther and Zilba, she stepped into the Adventurers' Union and moved on to Natalia, who was seated at the reception desk.
"Welcome back, boy. And the two of you."
"I'm home, Mr. Kanji. I can't say I'm safe... but I'm back."
Reurus said so and Natalia raised her eyebrows small. The smoke tube was then turned around to encourage explanation.
That's why Reurus starts talking about what happened after he left the abandoned city of Laval.
We arrived in Accra without any problems.
The fact that he received hospitality in the House of the Viscount of Velg.
--Fighting Rebecca, the Bishop of Grego.
Explain them with Esther, and tell them that they were rewarded for their spirituality by the Viscount of Velg and brought to the abandoned city of Laval.
He adds that Collard and his men followed him to the abandoned city of Laval, but Natalia only played with the smoke pipe with a small gaze.
Reurus had a deep doubt about Natalia, but there was something else to talk about, so he took a letter out of his pocket and opened his mouth.
"And the last thing Louis said..."
With that said, Reurus stared at Natalia.
"Say hello to the administrator of Laval Waste City." I don't know who you're talking about... but I got a letter from the Adventurers Association asking me to give it to you. "
Saying nothing, Reurus sent a letter from Lewis to Natalia. When Natalia received the letter, she put the smoke pipe on her desk and smiled slightly.
"I did. I'll give it to the union president later."
Natalia hasn't changed a lot - but she hasn't said anything to the message from Lewis.
Reus, who felt some intent there, tried to smile brightly.
Well, now that you've completed your request. Spiritualism... or what happens to the reward given to Esther?
"If it's a gift from a nobleman to Spiritualism, you can't take taxes... even though the rewards for the boys are taxed“ as usual ”.
"I wanted you to put some effort into it....."
I don't know what the criteria are, but I don't think I'll get all the rewards for completing the escort request.
"When it comes to specific rewards, I'll talk to you two spirituals... there's only one thing I can tell you."
Natalia smiles softly as Reurus drops her shoulders.
"--I 'm glad you're home safe."
I felt something in the words, but the smile was straight. That's why Reurus answers with his shoulders crossed.
I am curious about Lewis's words and letters, but Natalia will say something “if necessary.”
I trust Natalia as a host of the Adventurers Association, as a companion of the abandoned city of Laval, and personally. So Reurus decided to pull back cleanly.
Now that she's back safely, she should work hard for Eliza and the others, hoping for something for this reward. I don't think Esther or Gilba would be willing to pay the reward.
(He's back, so why don't you go eat at his place first....)
With that in mind, Reurus left the Adventurers' Union behind.
