A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

It was also understandable to Reurus that Natalia was having various dealings with the Viscount of Velg. But just because you understand doesn't solve the problem in front of you.

(So, even if you ignore the wisdom of the Värg, it's too different from before to react.....)

Reurus is bothering his head because Natalia is giving him the option of accepting the request.

Until now, Natalia has somehow decided on a request for Reurus. It seemed to be giving me the lead, and in fact, it was just a situation where I had no other choice.

But not this time. The request presented by the Värg family is clearly unreasonable and suspicious from Reurus' point of view. Although it presents a clear interest to fully support the independence of the abandoned city of Laval, it is denied to be necessary for Natalia.

If it is okay to refuse, I will refuse the case without hesitation.

(From Mr. Collard's point of view, I'm asking you to doubt your sanity, and I'm telling you you can refuse... hmm? So, what's the situation?

If you can say no, it's a revulsion that I was thinking of doing, but I realize something strange is unexpectedly fundamentally wrong.

Natalia laughs with her nose and lights the letter, but if so, why are you here - that's why Reurus caught up.

(If the reward offered by the Vicomte de Velg is not commensurate with the danger, and you can refuse it as a abandoned city of Laval, then you will refuse it before you wave to me... if you "knew in advance”, there must be something else to do.)

She sends a gaze to Natalia with questions that arise in her chest, but Natalia simply smiles and doesn't answer anything. Seen, for some reason, Collard remains silent.

(... this is a bad one if you refuse like this)

No reason, no process, no intuition. I wanted to say no if I could refuse after listening to what I've said, but my guess is that it's not right to refuse like this.

Reurus does not doubt his thoughts, which have been saved many times so far, and judging the situation from the previous stories.

(As far as I'm concerned, it shouldn't be a problem to say no... I'm just saying I can't refuse what they asked me to do because it's dangerous and doesn't suit me. There's no doubt about that... right?

I am not sure, Reurus tilts his neck with only his heart. It shouldn't be a problem, but don't feel like you're missing something.

(You also said this request is dangerous... no, didn't you...?

So, I felt that Reurus had a clue.

It was Reus himself who asked about the request and wondered if it was insane. Collard was also in agreement, so I washed it out, but Natalia didn't mention anything about it.

I just told Reurus that the content of the request and the rewards were not commensurate and that I would leave it to Reurus to decide whether or not to accept it. In addition, it would be strange if Natalia had been aware of the actions of the Viscount Verg in advance by letter.

(You expected a messenger from the Viscount of Velg... so you didn't stop me from learning the sword from Mr. Collard?

Natalia told me to learn as much as possible from Collard. In line with that, we will be borrowing help soon.

(I was welcome to learn the sword... to grow stronger. But you may decline the request from the Viscount of Velg... was the request unexpected, or was it within your expectations...)

Reurus sighed so deeply as to cool his head.

"Ah... so what am I supposed to do after all?

Reurus said in trouble. Natalia's temptations gradually appeared, but if they went out of line, they tried to extract information because it was dangerous.

"Should I decide whether or not to accept this request? If there's anything you want to know, I'll answer."

That's how Natalia smiles.

Unlike previous requests, it does not appear to lie down with information. I'm glad to think that you can trust me, but as a revulsion, I think I'll have a stomach.

(Now I know how Collard feels....)

Aristocrats and knights always live with deep thoughts. Behind words and attitudes there is a temptation to have multiple meanings in one hand and to try to move many people as they please.

From Reurus' point of view, it's an incredibly troublesome way of life, but it was thought to be a normal world for Natalia and the others.

(Even in my previous life, my boss thought so much... no. I don't remember exactly, but that's definitely not true.)

The idea that a privileged class of people in this world, the aristocracy, can learn thoroughly from birth and acquire - it must be some kind of technology.

Reurus was educated in his previous life, but the world itself is different than the country and the times. It can't be useful to have memories of the previous life. If you have common knowledge and knowledge adapted to this world, and you don't have the appropriate experience and training, you won't even be able to stand on the same earth.

(It would be different if it was a country built on the knowledge of the Earth in the previous life, but it would also be a foreign body in this world.)

If you are a human being called a masterpiece or genius on Earth, you may be able to understand the thoughts of nobility in this world. But Reurus is not.

(It's really useless when you're thinking about my last life...) I don't know what you're thinking at all, so I have to predict...)

Don't feel dangerous to stop thinking and make a decision. As a result, Natalia stares happily at Reurus, who desperately squeezes his thoughts.

"Suppose... yes, if you accept this request, what happens if you fail?

Natalia answers the question without thinking about it.

"It depends on the situation of failure. No matter how many unicorns I searched for, it wouldn't be a problem. It's hard to find anything you don't know."

"Well, that's true. What else?

"Well... if it wasn't my fault, I wouldn't be in trouble if the young lady of the House of Värg were to die."

"... what?

Reurus raised his eyebrows to an unexpected response.

(If I'm not at fault, I won't be blamed for dying, but I'll send you to another country for treatment? What do you mean by that? I don't know. Is Mr. Ruvillia being treated like a nuisance?

Even though he may die, he makes dangerous requests for treatment. It's too funny, and Reurus is confused about what it means.

"Reurus... how much do you know about nobility?

Natalia laughs bitterly at the chaos of Reurus.

"... running territory, rich compared to us adventurers, with our own power, great."

"Fufu... that's not so wrong."

Natalia laughs with her hands around her mouth when she hears Reus' words about what's funny. Seeing the reaction, Reus raised his eyebrows small.

(It looks like you're feeling a little tense today...)

Natalia continued her words when Reurus was a little suspicious.

"Now, noble children... if you step even further, what kind of treatment would a noble woman receive if she were weak?

"Well... can you cherish flowers and butterflies?

A weak woman is probably Ruvillia. Looking back on the time we met before, Reurus summarized in one word how Lewis and his surrounding Servants had treated Ruville.

"I don't know why flowers and butterflies come out there, but half of them... no, even if I look at them carefully, they're 30% correct."

But Natalia's grades are tough. Reurus scratches his head and desperately digs back into the memories of his previous life.

(A noble woman... so to speak, a princess. Naturally, you're going to be treated with great care, and you're going to get married politically. But when my body gets weak....)

I hate to say this, but when I become a noble lady, I am likely to be treated as a “token” of political marriage. There was an image that there was no freedom to marry or fall in love, and that a wife would be married to someone decided by parents or the house.

But when my body gets weak there...

"... oh, I see. I'm not going to be treated very well by the aristocrats."

I don't know what form the aristocracy in this world takes, but weakness is a huge drawback.

Marrying another family connects them and leaves blood behind as children. Whatever the former, the latter seems difficult. Reurus doesn't know how sick Ruvillia is, but I feel sick just because there is a rumor that she is weak.

Louis seemed to adore Ruvillia, but as a brother, he would be in trouble "a lot” for the Vicomte de Velg.

Reurus, who understood what Natalia was trying to say late, looks at the letter from the Viscount Verg.

"No, it's original, but if Ruvillia's body heals, she can make money. But what doesn't seem to be proportionate between the reward and the danger... is there something behind it?

Fifty o'clock.

"Severe..."

He said to think better. Reurus shook his head in trouble.

(Then... it's strange that Collard doesn't use his own combat power. In the first place, what should I do to cure Ruvillia's body... hmm?

If my body has healed, where will I naturally marry her? But I naturally need someone to marry.

"Maybe you're here to make friends with Mr. Ruvillia? That's why I went all the way across the dangerous bridge to cure my body... If that happens, I won't blame you even if you die... hmm?

It was a variety of "visible” reuses, but every time I was convinced, one question arose. I want to complain that it looks like a complicated intertwined thread.

"I'd like to see it because it's interesting, but should I leave it like this? What you said is more or less true."

Natalia smiled slightly at the twisting of her neck, but she quickly tightened her expression.

"You're right, my family is not in a good position as a nobleman anyway. It's fatal to hear rumors that you might be weak and unable to be a child. I'm a young lady of the Vicomte, and I'm still not married."

"Is that what this is about?

Judging by appearance alone, Ruvillia would be about the same age as Reurus. Between the ages of fifteen and seventeen, is the marriage delayed enough to be said 'still'?

"Yes, if you're a Vicomte's daughter, it's not strange to get married as soon as you can have a child. As early as around the age of ten, in some cases before birth, I will marry when I have grown up to some extent..."

"Oh, wow... it's not like I don't understand the world... but when you actually hear such a story, don't bother to react."

In my previous life, I felt that there was such a story in the Sengoku period. But I can't remember the details, and the Reus stays convinced.

"The young lady is my second daughter, but there are other daughters in the house of Count Werg. I wonder... were there four of them?

"That's right. The Viscount Velg family is in trouble with three sons and five daughters and their daughters to be married to each other."

Listening to Natalia, Collard adds. Natalia nodded one word and sent a glance to Reurus.

"That's right... Reurus, the eldest daughter is already married in the House of Viscount Werg. And there's Miss Ruvillia, and there's three sisters underneath. By the way, my sister should have been three years old to get married."

"... didn't you see it when you went up to the residence of the Vicomte de Velg?

"Things happen when you put your wife and children in the side room together."

(Aren't there too many kinds of nobles...)

Apparently Viscount Werg has more than one wife. Reurus was a little interested in what kind of struggle there was, but because of his bad taste, he quickly switched his mind.

"My oldest daughter is married, and my second daughter, Ruvillia, is still married, and there are three younger sisters who can marry underneath her... that's the way she talks, so you should let her marry regardless of the order, right?

"Not absolutely, but I'll try to get married in order. Unless you have a weak body like this one or a situation that makes you unfit for marriage."

"Hmm... what a hassle."

It seems that the Viscount Velg also has a variety of problems. Reurus sighs loudly when he murmurs like the others.

The gaze from Natalia seems to be trying somewhere.

― ― In fact, I think it has been tried.

(... no. We don't have enough information to get to the right answer. Do you think differently about the rest...)

Why did you tell me only this time that Natalia stepped in here? Reurus wonders if it has something to do with revealing his identity to Natalia the other day.

How much knowledge do you have, how far do you think, and what conclusions do you draw?

While laughing in a better mood than usual, Natalia's eyes still have an observable color.

"As for me, I'd like to hear your thoughts as well. What do you think of this request? Even if the reward is right, I think it's too dangerous."

It was a revulsion that advanced thinking while feeling such a gaze, but I doubt if it is not clear as it is. If you think differently, make sure you fill in the differences.

"If you say it's dangerous... well, it's a dangerous request. But it's not as dangerous as you think."

Natalia listens to Reurus and somehow relaxes her cheeks.

"This is not a very dangerous request from me. If there is a problem, will Miss Ruvillia's health deteriorate during the journey...?"

"... to cross other countries?

Reurus opened his eyes to surprise at Natalia's unexpected words. Natalia's story sounded much easier than Reurus had expected.

"Yeah... do you think if you set foot in another country, you'll be killed instantly?

"No, I don't think that's so radical... catching someone on suspicion of being a spy from another country, catching someone if they have any suspicious movements, or rather, catching them up for their crimes..."

"There's nothing like that. If you're an armed soldier, you'll intercept them, and if they find out you're a spy, they'll catch you, but some travelers and merchants are moving across the country. You're gonna catch them all, too?

Natalia shrugged her shoulders somewhere stunned.

As for Reurus, I thought I would have to take the frail lady across the border, go the road without a way to get caught, traverse a long distance that I don't know how many days it would take, find the unicorn in the huge forest, heal Ruvillia and return safely.

But as far as Natalia was concerned, it seemed to be an overassumption.

"In this case, it may be safer to go through the streets honorably. I'm not investigating the situation in another country, or doing anything bad. Whatever the soldier does, hello, it's a traveler's revulsion, it's nice weather, if you're talking with a smile, you can handle it."

Natalia says she's suspicious because she's upset.

There seems to be no problem if you treat her with a smile and courtesy.

"Even if it's a joke to call you a traveler, do you carry a" convenient sign ”?

That's how Natalia points to Reurus' neck. There was a proof of being a "guest" of Spiritualism, which was given to him by Gilba.

"I suppose Collard was a spiritual too, right? That's what Eliza's daughters should call themselves."

"Uhhhh! Ah, I can't hear anything."

Natalia tried unexpectedly to blow up the “bomb”, but Collard coughed it up deliberately to mislead it.

"... is a person of the Country's Vicomte, and Miss Ruvillia is neither spiritualist nor vicious. You can call yourself a merchant, but it would be even safer if you were a traveling spiritual."

(Speaking of which, Jilba said she looked around other countries when she was young.)

Reurus who hears about Natalia and convinces herself. The more I listened, the less dangerous this request seemed to be.

"... hmm? If the journey is not so dangerous, it is not to blame if Ruvillia loses her life without our fault....."

"If your body can't stand a long journey, that's it. That's the other side of the equation: you're not going to be so responsible."

"Me, make it troublesome... I wish I could write it down clearly..."

Reurus moans with a gentle expression. What a troublesome creature, it seems like it will create a bad consciousness of the nobility.

"Sometimes I have trouble writing it clearly. Well, if you don't pick someone else, you'll have a problem accepting them."

"It's really tough... so? If your husband says it's not that dangerous, you should accept this request, right?

If safety on the road is guaranteed to a certain extent, it is not hesitant to accept it. At least if Natalia wants to take it, she can take it. Natalia smiled at Reurus, who was entrusted with deciding whether to accept the request.

"Of course not."

"... eh?

Reuses that round your eyes and mouth to unexpected responses. I thought it would be better to take it from the story, but Natalia thought differently.

Natalia giggles and laughs at the funny reaction of Reurus.

"Fufu... you'd better say no this time. Collard, you're the one mediating with the messenger, right? Let me show you around. It would be helpful if you could talk to him as soon as possible.“ Next ”... at least in two weeks?

With Natalia elsewhere talking to Collard, Reurus can only deepen the confusion.

"Well, what is it... the more you get used to it, the more you'll understand. A lot of things."

For some reason, Collard gently slapped such a revulsion on the shoulder.
