A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

In the woods, just south of Laval Waste City.

As we continued, Reurus appeared in the area off the narrow streets that reached the village of Shena.

Though surrounded by trees, Reurus continued to wave his sword silently at a place where the size was secured to the extent that there was no problem swinging the love sword "Dragon Slasher".

Swing down from the top, cut up before the blade touches the ground, change the standing position, and flash sideways. From there, slash twice or three times, and finally throw a thrust before stopping.

And as he took a deep breath to calm his breath, a man called out to the revulsion.

"Hmm... it's moving better than before"

The man, Reurus, echoed Collard's voice. There is Collard, who keeps his back in the trees and observes the movement of the Reurus.

Collard's costume was closer to the adventurer than the knight, wearing leather armor and a dagger on his waist. The nails and toenails are also made of leather and will only look adventurous to anyone who doesn't know Collard.

"I'm glad you said that, but I don't really know if it's getting better."

"That's what it is. It's something that you actually feel when you're fighting an enemy."

When Reurus smiles bitterly while wiping the sweat off his forehead, Collard also smiles bitterly. Then Neddy peeked into his face from the shade of the tree to see if he heard such a conversation between Reurus and Collard.

"... are you done?

"For the time being," he said. I'm sorry to leave you in charge, Neddy. "

When Reurus said so, Neddy shook his neck silently instead of just telling him not to worry.

Reurus and Neddy, and Collard. It was only natural that the three of them should be together in the forest.

It goes back about a month.

After a week of fighting in the castle city of Accra and returning to the abandoned city of Laval.

Reurus was worried when he returned to the abandoned city of Laval.

(... how can I be stronger?

It is about anxiety about one's skill and the opacity of the means to eliminate it.

It all started when we engaged Rebecca's magic doll.

It was a victory, but it was clear what would have happened without Eliza and the others. If Reurus had fought alone, it would have been a good idea to bring him into battle. However, considering the fact that the opponent was a magical doll, it was only defeated if brought to the battle.

You've never wanted to be so strong since you were reborn into this world. I don't like Reurus enough to think that I can take care of everything by myself, and I'm not young enough to look like him anyway.

Still, I think. The stronger it is, the stronger it will be - the stronger it will be than Rebecca's body.

If Reurus only lived as an adventurer, he wouldn't need that much strength. Of course, it has never been stronger, but it is excessive to try to beat the Gregorian bishop, who alone can hunt advanced monsters.

However, there has been a “tendency” until now, but in one case in Accra, I was fully prepared to deal with Gregorianism.

Considering the Gregorian doctrine, human revulsions need not be overly vigilant, but obviously Rebecca has set a target.

In addition, there are people who are at risk of being targeted by Gregorians beside Reurus.

Eliza the bloodsucking species, and Sarah and Neddy the spirits. Especially since Eliza has already been targeted by Gregorians.

It's dangerous to believe Rebecca, but when it comes to Neddy, he's off the Gregorian “aim.” However, as far as Jilba's story goes, it seems that he has killed spirits in the past, so optimism is dangerous.

I don't know much about Sarah Reurus either. The Spirit of Fire didn't mention Canna, Laurent, or even Rebecca. Still a spirit, there is a danger of being targeted by Gregorianism.

It would be as safe as Meer among our people. Meer is a dwarf, but she is as strong as an intermediate monster. It's not supposed to be a Gregorian target for advanced monsters.

(... it's not funny that it's all just speculation and desire.)

Not as much as Eliza, but there was a verse that Meer and the Dwarf group to which Meer belonged were also targeted by Gregorians. If you think about it, you can't be reassured.

Due to these circumstances, Reurus wanted to be truly stronger than before.

If you were in the abandoned city of Laval and could benefit from Zilba's help, the Bishop of Gregory might be able to do something about it. However, they can't always act with Zilba, and they don't know when or where to attack.

In the first place, it's unrealistic to wait for someone who doesn't know when they're coming, or even when they're coming.

For this reason, the only thing I could do to revulse was brush my arms little by little, while remaining vigilant.

The monsters were returning little by little to the abandoned city of Laval because the Reurus had been away for more than a month due to escort requests. Hunting around from one end, eating around with the spices you just got, doesn't seem to have polished your strength.

I've been pretending before, but I don't feel fundamentally “missing”.

During the battle against Rebecca's magic doll, there were many things that could be seen in the actual battle for life. However, if you go back to normal, it seems that the sense of combat becomes dull with zero clearance between your fingers.

Do you want to reopen and hone your relationship with Eliza or rely on magic tools?

Is it too early to throw, or is it too early to scratch, or to explore another way of fighting?

Reurus leaves the abandoned city of Laval and even repeats his pretenses because training in the town is annoying. However, I don't have one now, so I wondered what to do.

"Hmm? Isn't that Reurus there? Training is impressive."

For some reason, he reunited with Collard, who was dressed as an adventurer.

"Isn't that Mr. Collard? It's been a long time... but it's still early, isn't it? What are you wearing?

While lowering his sword of love, Reurus said, Collard smiled bitterly.

"It's part of the job. I've been disturbing the abandoned city of Laval."

"In the abandoned city of Laval?

I wonder what that means, Reurus. But Collard didn't intend to answer, so he turned his back on the subject.

"But it's Reurus. If you want to train hard, you should do it better. Then it's just a waste of time.

"... what do you mean?

Said to be a waste of time, Reurus raised his eyebrows slightly. I was wondering whether the revulsion also meant something or whether it would make me stronger, but when I was told "waste" from the front, I wondered exactly why.

"Hmm? Isn't your lord just waving his sword? No, considering the way you fight, that might be right...."

Collard returned the same expression to his suspicious Reurus face.

"... the sword shakes, right?

"That's true, but..."

Reurus and Collard interact with each other in a sense of discomfort.

Collard sighed surprisingly convinced that Reurus was thinking about what was going on.

"Ah... I see, that's what this is all about." Reurus, you're a classic... no, that was before. Haven't you been holding a sword that long? I've probably seen it for about a year.... "

"Ah... I see."

Reurus shouted surprisingly at Collard's words. Reurus started swinging his sword only about a year after he became an adventurer.

"Let's go. You really learned the sword as a knight? I've been waving my sword for more than twenty years since I was a samurai. I can see through an amateur sword."

That's how Collard taps the handle of the sword on his waist. Rather than complacency, Collard took a keen interest in Reurus, who speaks for himself.

"Do you know that clearly?

Indeed, those who fought before soon realized that they were superb. On the contrary, it was once regarded as a beast-like sword.

"Naturally. Those who have learned some degree of sword, not even me, will soon be able to spot it. I'm not going to deny everything we have, but you're a problem before that."

Apparently, from Collard's point of view, it didn't reach us, and he was waving something he couldn't call swordsmanship.

"Some people in the world have the genius of breaking the rules, but knowing the rules, breaking them is breaking the rules. I don't know anything about you, it's just a shapeless sword."

"I see...."

Collard points out that it is not spicy, but rather natural.

It was pointed out too naturally, and the Reurus was convinced before it rebounded.

(The amateur is just waving his sword at the mercy of his strength... the more terrible it is to see from the person who learns the sword properly)

In the case of Reurus, the basic combat style is to tap on and mutilate sharp Dragon Slashes, relying on the physical abilities raised by Eliza and Sarah's "contract" and "caloric release."

I wish I could defeat it, but if someone with high “combat skills” can't fight the Reurus, they will be disadvantaged at once.

(... that? Mr. Collard is pretty amazing to see my faults at first glance...?

Reurus unexpectedly looks at Collard in front of him.

It was quite wide, and if it succeeded, it would only look fat, but when fighting in the garden of the Vicomte de Velg, it showed no shame in the knight's name.

It would be rude to think that people don't depend on what they look like.

From his conversation with Collard, Reurus felt that he could grasp “something” that seemed like nothing but a bummer.

"... Mr. Collard"

"What is it?

"--Can you teach me swordsmanship?

That's what I was asking for when I realized.

Collard glanced at the sudden offer as if confused.

"No, I can't teach you the techniques I learned as a knight..."

"Of course, I'll pay for it."

You should trust your instincts here.

When Reurus told him to fold, Collard lost his sight.

"... I can't lack training either. There may be an outsider there by chance, and I may leak“ my own words ”....."

I mean, you're gonna give me advice on your own.

Reurus nodded with a smile.
