A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Reus, who had finished his conversation with Natalia and Collard, turned his foot toward the spiritual church.

I was mentally tired and wanted to change my mood, but I wanted to talk to Gilba who had actually traveled to other countries.

Natalia doesn't give us the details yet, but Zilba says she can disclose some information if she wants to.

So he took his feet to the church in the daytime and told them that he had a consultation, and he went up to Gilba's room.

"I see, there is a possibility that I will go to another country on request....."

Briefly describing the situation, Gilba nods while bracing herself. The expression had a color that seemed convincing.

"I heard about the knight who came to the gate, but was it the Viscount of Werg... then what happened to Ruvillia?

I only told him that Reurus might go to another country on request, but did he have any information? Gilba quickly discerns Luviria's involvement in this conversation after a few seconds.

Reurus scratched his cheek hiding his inner surprise at what Gilba seemed convinced.

"... do you understand?

"I used to come to Laval for treatment. Also, I was told the other day in Accra that I knew people (being alone) and their abilities for Mr. Reurus. It's easy to predict... Whoa, this is rude. You didn't send anything to the visitors."

While saying so, Zilba presents the water bottle and cup placed on the desk to Reurus. Reurus poured water into the cup and sighed deeply.

"I thought when I was talking to you... maybe that's a natural skill for you to think about it?

"Hahaha... what's more, I'm just used to talking about it for as long as I live longer than Mr. Reurus."

Zilba laughs and denies when she sees Reurus with a little envy. But I can't be happy as a Reurus.

(Including the previous life, I think it's the same age as Mr. Gilba... but I wonder if there's a twist around that didn't want to know about the world.)

Gilba is the same age as her predecessors, and she is nearly fifteen years old in Natalia. There are limits to what we can do because we are inferior in terms of knowledge and common sense in this world.

It may be taken for granted that he has lived in an environment where he has not been able to obtain difficult information for fifteen years. However, it was Reus himself who did not take the initiative to obtain information in the time since he became an adventurer.

(I'm counting on Eliza to take care of things around here... hmm, what's the matter...)

Eliza's face appeared behind Reurus' head.

I intend to learn how to read and write, but when I learn “more”...

"... I feel like I have to accept your request in an atmosphere, so I'd like to talk to Jilba who has traveled to other countries."

Shake off any thoughts that come to your mind and tell Zilba more about why you're coming. Gilba raised her eyebrows slightly as to what she thought of the revulsion, but she immediately smiled.

"You don't mind if I do. But when it comes to other countries... unicorn?"

"Eh...."

I accidentally blew out the water I had been drinking, but the revulsion was too painful. But the reaction would have been enough for Gilba to know. Gilba drinks water with a small smile.

"... you're no match for Gilba."

"No, it's something anyone can think of if they know. If Esther's healing magic or magic medicine doesn't work, I'll have to choose another means... but when it comes to nobility, I don't think I'll be able to accompany you on this trip."

Reurus wrinkled between his eyebrows in response to Zilba's stiff shoulders.

If Zilba were to accompany us, we would be more reliable than ever. Broad visibility and, above all, its extraordinary skill. Among Reurus' acquaintances, they are intellectuals who compete against one or two.

"Does that have anything to do with your position as a spiritualist?

"Yes. We spirituals try to” maximize ”the nobility… and keep out of politics. Unlike those abominable heathens."

Gilba speaks with a disgusting voice. Reurus pulls his cheeks and asks what he's worried about.

"Is it okay for me... a spiritual guest to accept a request from a nobleman?

To be precise, I am not a Spirit, but I am guaranteed the identity as a guest. Is it okay for me to get involved in nobility and politics?

Though I think it will be okay because Natalia and Collard didn't stop it, I am afraid of Zilba's reaction and confirm it.

"Mr. Reurus' position is only a favor from us spirituals. If you abuse it, I'll stop it, but you can basically let me go."

"Basically...."

It reacts to the effects of talking to Natalia and the others, or even to a few words. Gilba nodded with a smile as to what she thought of such a revulsion.

"Hmm... it looks like the Administrator has narrowed it down a lot. If the nobleman is the opponent, he is not too careful. It's like this."

Apparently he deliberately gave meaning to words. Reurus wants to hold his head on to something satisfying about Zilba.

"... you knew your position, right?

"Of course. If we're going to build a church, we need permission from those who rule the land."

(It's only natural to be told... and to stand around understanding it without being told.)

Invite the “redundant” Spirits. There's no way that Natalia, the administrator of Laval Waste City, is involved in the decisions around here.

Then it was only natural that Gilba knew about Natalia's position, and if she only thought about it a little, she would know about Reurus.

(It feels like you're moving parts of your brain that you don't normally use....)

Reurus feels uncomfortable in his brain and strokes his head with his hands. The brain complains of discomfort because it turns its mind on things it doesn't normally think about.

"Back to the point, as spirituals, we do not intend to interfere with the behavior of those in the position of guests. Unless you're talking about working as a guest and committing atrocities....."

Reus waved his hand in front of his face and denied to Gilba, who turned his gaze.

Zilba's face is not going to be muddy, and at the same time, Zilba's behavior would be too frightening.

(I'll take care of my own mistakes myself, and it won't be stylish if it develops.)

Zilba smiled and ran over her head, and Reurus felt a tingling cold around her neck.

Even if Zilba attacked us from the front, we might be able to escape rather than win. Behind his back without notice, he could be killed without noticing Zilba approaching.

"Of course, I don't think Reurus would do that. What I'm trying to say is, whoever you're asking for, it's okay to act as an adventurer."

"It would be helpful if you could say so... By the way, Sada-san said that it would be okay if his client named him Spiritual."

I'm glad my actions aren't restricted, but what about the others? Gilba narrowed her eyes to Reurus, who was afraid to ask about it.

"Hmm... that's..."

At the same time, I have the illusion that the temperature in the room has dropped sharply. As Reurus inadvertently pulled her cheeks, Gilba slipped her gaze into the air with her eyes narrowed.

"... I see, that's what this is all about"

"Well, what do you want?

I'm the one who came to talk to you, but shouldn't I run away from here? With that in mind, when Reurus asked, Gilba had a serious look.

"No... I'd like to check, but you haven't received my request, have you? I suppose I'm just going to say no and see how they're coming out....."

――――

Gilba didn't say anything early enough to see through the situation, even though she wasn't there in the first place. Gilba sighs as convinced as Reurus is silent.

"I have one piece of advice for you, Mr. Reurus. I'm not asking you not to accept that request. But you must never let Ruvillia die if you want to take it."

"Eh... what does that mean...?"

It is said that even if Ruvillia loses her life, she will not be blamed, but she has not told Gilba. Still, it was mentioned about Ruvillia's life and death, and Reurus' voice was spontaneously plucked.

Gilba's sigh is heavier than the reaction of Reurus.

"I wonder if the Administrator has any thoughts about not communicating around here. I'm just impressed that Mr. Reurus decided it would be all right if he accompanied us, that there was" some way ”... and that the Administrator didn't do too well for me."

Even so, Zilba's words sound somewhat ironic. Zilba cuts her tongue, moisturizes her throat with water, and then opens her mouth again.

"I'll give you one additional piece of advice. If you're going to accept the request, it would be easier to say that the purpose of the trip is to find the Spirit's 'Altar'."

"..."?

"If you're going to meet Unicorn, you're going to have to go into that forest, right? I actually found Sarah's 'altar' on the Veos volcano and stepped into a place that no one would normally visit. I think it would be safer for me to have a spiritual reason."

Gilba speaks with arms, but as for Reurus, it sounds like "you can use the position of a Spirit."

--Or is it dangerous enough to have to do so?

(I'd like to ask what Jilba-san is thinking... but I wonder. I feel like you won't tell me if I ask anymore.....)

I am also concerned about Zilba's reaction, but I wonder if it is good to ask further after receiving advice.

(No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Earlier, Jilba said she was not involved in nobility or politics as much as possible. Given that, Zilba's reaction is also reassuring.

"Thank you for your advice. I'll think about it a lot."

There are many things I think, but we should back off here. Reurus, who decided so, thanked Jilba and stood up from the chair - and questioned him.

"By the way, Mr. Gilba, if you want to meet Unicorn... are you sure you're there?

There was a certain colour in Zilba's words that you just heard. It sounded like Unicorn didn't suspect it existed.

Gilba smiles little at what was interesting about the question.

"Well... I was just wondering if I could see you if you were here. Mr. Reurus has been seeing various monsters."

"... it's hard to deny it when you say so."

That's how Reurus leaves Gilba's room. Then, some distance from the church, he exhaled a great sigh.

"It's easier to hang up than think...."

As far as Natalia is concerned, you can't just keep moving, as they say. With that thought in mind, Reurus turned to his home with his shoulders stiff.

(Whatever it is, first wait for the “reply” you say)

Natalia said there would be some sort of reaction as early as two weeks, but I can't predict what will happen.

Let's train and study as much as we can, as we've been doing in our recent routine. That's all I can do.

Reurus was so divided - according to Natalia, two weeks later there was a new movement.
