A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

After the conversation with Natalia, Reus walks down the boulevard of the abandoned city of Laval in charge of the Dragon Slash.

After the “hard talk” was over, he quietly drank and exchanged alcohol in the gentle air. I didn't mention what I had been talking about until then, but I joked about what had happened recently, what about the people in the town, etc., and decided that it was a good time.

The taste of the wine and the taste of the snacks, as well as the pleasure of the conversation with Natalia, made me somehow stay longer. I don't know the exact time because I don't have a watch, but I think I spent nearly three hours at Natalia's house.

"Good liquor, delicious rice, and a beautiful person who talks well with it... it's a shame you're not drunk even though you've got it all here."

Walking with a firm foothold, Reurus laughs bitterly alone.

Do you recognize that alcohol is poisonous? No matter how much you drink, your body won't get drunk. I have a feeling that alcohol turns around when I drink it, but it quickly turns face-to-face.

--Is it luxurious to want to get drunk just today?

(I don't know because of everything....)

She was promoted to a lower level adventurer, and Natalia revealed her personality accordingly, and even Reurus spoke of her own past.

Tension, confusion, discomfort, and discomfort continued during the conversation, but when I finished, I could say it was a fun drinking party.

If you don't think it's fun, your thoughts are going to be messy.

(I'm in trouble... no, I'm in trouble... but I can only laugh if I don't know what I'm capable of so far...)

Words that, for some reason, cannot even be spoken to. There is a question about self called "rarity."

Had it not been for Natalia's knowledge and intelligence, and the experience she would have accumulated, she would have been laughed at with her nose and questioned her sanity.

As a revulsion, I don't know if I'm sane or insane.

(The market is to drown in alcohol or a woman at this time... if you eat your cooking and drink alcohol and talk about it, you'll know that your body is satisfied.)

Should we rejoice in a simple body or lament the difficulty? I don't feel like breaking Natalia's promise to go to a whorehouse in the abandoned city of Laval. That doesn't stop bothering you, it bothers Reurus' head.

Poor nature is that there is no solution to what you have noticed this time.

You can speak a language you haven't learned - that's very useful.

I can't trust the memory of my previous life - but I survived because of it.

I don't even know why I was reincarnated in the first place - that's why.

Various questions come to mind.

It's uncomfortable like sticking a fish bone in my throat, but it's difficult to guess at the moment, and I don't even know if it makes sense to know.

In addition, it is doubtful whether what you do not know can lead to disadvantage. Even if I get an answer, it seems like it will only satisfy my curiosity.

(I don't know... I understand it's a big deal in my head, but I think I'm telling my body to leave such things alone...)

What a strange feeling. Or are you drunk just because you're unconscious? Again, the trouble is, there's nothing in Reurus's mind. It's like you're telling me it doesn't matter.

(Hmm... don't even think about it anymore.)

It would be a waste of time and calories to keep thinking about questions you don't even know if there are answers to.

Today, I was born as an adventurer, and I was able to learn about Natalia, and I found it in a delicious meal and alcohol. That's enough.

(Besides, I was able to tell you about my previous life....)

There is a fear of being seen with strange eyes, but I did not take the initiative to hide it, nor did I have a known and troubled past.

Reurus realized that he was still feeling refreshed by being able to talk to others.

(I heard your dream... you want to make Laval Wastetown a normal town, too.)

It was Natalia who had an impression that she didn't know the bottom, but I really think it was good to know the “inside” a little bit. At the same time, I think it's a good dream.

It will be late at night soon, so few people walk the avenue. Only night-time adventurers pass by, and ordinary residents will be sleeping at home.

Little light is available and only the moonlight is relied upon. The dimly lit townscape of the abandoned city of Laval is nothing more than a poor one compared to the townscape known in previous generations.

I don't know what Natalia has in mind, but if the people who live in this abandoned city of Laval are treated as "normal" and become safer towns than ever before.

That's not enough to risk your life.

There is no lie in the words I told Natalia. It's a fantastic dream that I can endorse as a Reurus.

Let's put more effort into training from tomorrow. Let's learn what we can learn. Reurus is so determined...

"... hmm?

I noticed that the lights were still on at home and tilted my neck.

Back in time.

Eliza dropped off Reurus, who had gone out in response to Natalia's call, but after two hours, she was restless.

"Mu... not yet..."

I thought he might come back soon and waited about thirty minutes after Reurus left. But there was no sign of Reurus coming back, so I went to Dominic's restaurant to finish dinner.

If we finish dinner and go home, Reurus may be home. That's what Eliza thought, but when she went home, she didn't see Reurus.

It's been about an hour and a half since Reurus left at this point, but there's no sign of Reurus coming back.

Recently, Reurus has been training with Collard, so he's been away longer. As a result, I was used to being separated, but as for Eliza, I couldn't settle down.

(He went out of his way to call Reurus and said... that I could accompany him, but what kind of complicated story... no, maybe I could accompany him in anticipation of Reurus saying no?

Eliza sits on a chair and walks around the living room in less than a minute. Neddy is staring at Eliza lying on Reurus's bed, but she doesn't notice her focus.

(Mu... if you follow me... no, it was a serious atmosphere...)

Eliza wandering around. Neddy's gaze shifted as Eliza moved, but Eliza still didn't notice.

"Nice hot water! So, why is Eliza walking around the room?

"Both of you take a bath before the hot water gets cold... what's Elizabeth doing?

Sarah and Meer, who had gone to the bath, appeared there. Instead of dressing normally, she dressed properly in her bedtime clothes and gazed strangely at Eliza, who was wandering in the living room.

Did you hear Sarah and Meer? Eliza stops moving. And when he blinked his eyes as if he had returned to me, he coughed up and opened his mouth.

"Well, it's nothing... let's take a bath together, Neddy."

As expected, Reurus will come back while we are in the bath.

With that in mind, Eliza invited Neddy to the underground bath.

But when I got out of the bath, Reurus never came back. At this point, it's been about two hours, and Eliza's worries are getting stronger.

(I said it might be too long, but isn't it just too long? Even if I cook and talk, I feel like it's taking too long....)

Perhaps “something other than talking” is taking place.

Eliza sits on a chair and thinks seriously. Behind that, Neddy, who got out of the bath and changed into his bedclothes, put his hand against Eliza's hair to manipulate the moisture and dry it.

(I don't know Natalia's house if I pick her up... but wait like this...)

Get up from the chair, but sit lost, get up from the chair again, and walk out this time. Without saying anything about Eliza's behavior, Neddy walks around behind her as she dries her hair.

"What should I do... Eliza is weird. Do you think we should report it to Reurus in Idea Call?

"Hmm... maybe I'm talking about something important, and that's a little... I know how Eliza feels, but..."

Sarah and Meer whispered in suspicious behavior. I wonder if Eliza is stuck around forgetting the existence of the "Call to Thought."

But Eliza had a reason to be so impatient.

(The opponent is Natalia... no matter what happens...)

It has gradually improved, but Eliza doesn't like Natalia because the impression of her first encounter is too strong.

Unlike herself, she was an “adult” woman who was strangely friendly with Reurus because it was the part that caught Eliza.

"Mhh... mmhh..."

Eliza wandering around and Neddy hanging around behind her. Sarah and Meer look at each other and smile bitterly.

"It's time to sleep, isn't it?

"As usual... what should I do?

Normally, it's time to get ready for bed. Reurus told me to sleep first if it was too late - but when I looked at Eliza, it didn't look like I was going to sleep at all.

"I could only spoil it halfway today, and I'm awake until Reurus gets back!

"Ahh... uh, well, then, I guess I'll be awake too..."

I nodded after a moment of confusion with Sarah, who declared herself softly. Eliza didn't notice the conversation and waited for the time to pass.

How much time has passed? A minute and a second can feel that many times, and you don't know the exact course of time.

But Elizabeth - Elizabeth and the others waited, and Reurus finally returned home.

"I'm just... hey, are you still awake?

Did you think Eliza and the others were asleep even though the lights were on, Reurus whispered his greetings home. But Eliza's eyes turned round when she saw them gathered in the living room.

"Welcome back, Reurus! If you're going to take a bath, I'll boil it now.

"Welcome back, Reurus. I can't sleep at all, follow me...."

Sarah smiles and rushes as she sees Reurus. Mia smiled somehow happily even though she seemed sorry.

"... Welcome back"

Neddy returned his greetings as usual, but I wonder if it was an illusion that he seemed a little happy. And speaking of Eliza...

(... oh... the expression of Reurus is strangely refreshing...)

Eye illusions or mistakes, before you leave home and after you come back, you see a different expression of Reurus.

When she realized it, Eliza felt strangely upset.
