A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Hey, Reurus... who are you?”

In response to that inquiry, the reaction of Reurus was not significant. He moves his eyebrows slightly and carries the liquor into his mouth silently.

Now, in this situation, I was asked what it meant. Natalia carries the liquor into her mouth as she watches the Reurus thinking about it.

(A philosophical question... I don't think so. Who am I...?)

When Dominic took me into the Adventurers' Union for the first time, I was told something similar. At that time, there was also the danger of the position, and I definitely told her that the blurred part was blurred.

What response is Natalia looking for and how to answer "safe”? Reurus looked at Natalia with a glass, hiding her mouth, but Natalia's expression was strange and calm.

Natalia laughs bitterly as she gazes at how she sees the revus that is answering.

"Where did my usual routine go? There's a lot of suspicion because you'll shut up.

When we first met, we were suspected of being spies elsewhere. Now that we know Natalia's position, it's only natural that Natalia should explore the nature of Reurus.

It is only natural that Natalia should be suspicious of anyone other than the Administrator. If there is a problem, it would be natural to eliminate it.

"... do you doubt me?

What do you suspect? Although Reurus asked nervously because he didn't even know it, Natalia blinked her eyes and looked neatly.

…… Ah... perhaps you care that I suspected you of being a spy when I first met you?

As Reus nodded to the question, Natalia paused slightly before blowing it out. And then laughed.

"Fufu... sometimes I think you're missing something weird, right?

"... was that where you were laughing?

"That was weird enough not to laugh here anymore."

Is it to soothe the atmosphere, to relieve the alert of the Reurus - or is it a vegetarian laugh?

Natalia shook her shoulders and laughed, wiping the tears off her eyes with her fingers.

"If you had just come to town, would you suspect yourself of being a spy? I'd love to see the face of someone who uses such a prominent human being as a spy."

Reurus doesn't know what got into Natalia's pants.

"Ready? Spies are third class when they suspect you. In that regard, you're less than third-rate."

"I feel like they're saying something terrible...."

"I'm praising you. Because I've cleared myself of the suspicion that your actions might be a spy."

Natalia, who talks like that, breaks her finger as she laughs.

"Defeat Kimira, protect the bloodsucking species, prepare for the Gregorians, let them go to another abandoned city, fight the Fire Dragon, 'contract' with the Spirit of Fire, let them go on a journey because they want weapons, bring back the Dwarves, defeat the Slime, and bring back the Spirit again."

Fufu, Natalia laughs.

"There are so many other things... well, what I'm trying to say is that there are no spies out there."

"... there might be stories about how that builds up trust.

With Natalia's much appreciated reputation, Reurus talks about deepening his suspicions. I can't deny everything Natalia said, but I couldn't help but check Natalia's thoughts.

"Should it be worth risking your life? Sure, there's a way to send good people to find the center of the territory, but your actions have gone too far."

"Well... that's right. Say what you suspect, but you don't have to fight Vaniel or Slime."

A slightly depressed realus wondering what he had done while talking about himself. However, Natalia somehow smiled at such a revulsion.

"Am I right? There will be a better way to do it, and what will you do to find out about this town in the first place? If I use your skill as a spy, I will throw it into the King's Landing."

Of course, Natalia laughs when she teaches you more “common sense.”

"That's why you don't need to be vigilant. I just want to know who you are... yes, I'm the Administrator, but I think I'm interested."

That's how Natalia adds a smoke pipe to her mouth and lights the cigarette with a magical object she thinks is magical. Then he lightly inhaled the smoke and spit it out towards the sky, but the first time Reurus saw it, it also looked like it was in trouble.

"Born in the village of Shena to the parents of a serf, when they were three years old, the monster attacked them and killed them. Since then, he has been engaged in agricultural work as the property of the village. When I was younger, I carried water, grew up in the village to some extent, worked in the fields outside the village when I was over ten years old... and was sold out as a slave for the mine when I reached the age of fifteen."

"... that's..."

Natalia, who spoke in a puzzling manner, leaked a murmur like Reurus was puzzled. You can't be mistaken, it's the origin of Reus himself.

"I got confirmation from Shena Village. Not only agricultural work, but also the burial of children in similar circumstances. It's not just one or two, it's more than twenty people who just got investigated... which may sound sympathetic, but it survived a bad environment."

Natalia stares at Reurus's eyes as she smokes purple smoke. It was a serious look to shake off the atmosphere until then, but it made me feel warm somewhere.

"Well, I'm going to ask you that again. When, where and how did you get that knowledge?

Even if I'm wrong, I can't get a farmer. There were no parents, no peculiar teachers to teach the children of serfs, no opportunity to learn, no time to spare.

Natalia asks with such conviction, but her expression is soft somewhere.

(You don't have to hide it...)

I had no idea when I first came to the abandoned city of Laval, and Reurus learned a little about this world. There is a question of whether Natalia believes it, but at least she won't be killed instantly if she tells us that she has memories of her previous life.

There is, however, only a little fear in front of Natalia that we might be able to turn a strange eye to our friends in the abandoned city of Laval.

"I've been thinking since I first met you... Reurus, there are obviously a few things you don't know in the countryside alone. There are many things the village chief and other knowledge groups don't know."

…………

However, an unexpected word popped into Reurus's ear as he opened his mouth. The brain chews to understand what the word means, but for some reason it doesn't work.

--What did Natalia just say?

And thou hast followed that which I have just spoken. There's a lot missing, but at the very least, you have the knowledge and intelligence comparable to the knighthood... it's not something that a serf can wear anyway. "

Natalia keeps talking, but Reurus can only suppress the discomfort that has occurred inside her. Soon, a cold sweat will appear on your forehead, and your eyebrows will be raised with the feeling of passing it on to your temples.

"No... wait, wait. What do you mean," what ”?

"What... Reurus, what's wrong?

Push out your right hand and interrupt the conversation. Natalia looked suspicious to Reurus, but when she saw Reurus' face, she raised her worried voice.

"Am I speaking a word that cannot be remembered in Shena Village?

"... yeah. On the contrary, you understood immediately when you heard words that you wouldn't hear in the village, right?

What is that, Reurus mutters inside.

In the previous life, it was like speaking English with words you should not know.

“That” was something that even Natalia felt abnormal - it was abnormal that Reurus did not recognize himself as abnormal.

(What... this... no, this is weird, right? Why didn't I ever think that was strange....)

When he was a baby, Reus heard the words of his parents and remembered the words of "this world”. My own words were well communicated and I understood the other person's story well. The upper echelons of the village, who were managing the revus in the village of Shena, understood all of that.

--Why didn't you notice that it was abnormal?

"... it looks like there's something there."

Natalia makes a carefree voice as to what she thought of Reurus, which soaked her whole body with cold sweat rather than her forehead. And when I took the water bottle and poured it into the cup of Reurus, I was prompted to drink it.

"Drink some water first and calm down."

"Ah, ahh...."

Following Natalia's words, Reurus swallows water. As a result, the feeling of discomfort similar to chills subsided, and the thought gradually settled down.

(I went through an “anomaly” called reincarnation... no wonder anything else happened...?

Although there is a feeling that you don't know, it is not bad for words to make sense. It was a revulsion that calmed the mind, but it wasn't enough to quickly restore calm.

Reurus drank another glass of water and saw Natalia looking worried.

"I'm sorry to worry... a little... no, quite. It was a big shock to me....."

"I don't mind... should I open it now?"

Natalia cares, but Reurus shakes his neck.

From what I've heard, Natalia seems to know a lot of things. I have been in King's Landing, and I am likely to know things that are impossible for ordinary people to know from the standpoint of a quasi-bar.

Reurus, who decided so, opens his mouth rather than embracing the discomfort.

"No, it's a corner liquor seat... you won't believe it, but will you listen to me?

That's how Reurus started talking about himself.
