A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

That night.

Reurus, who had welcomed Eliza and her client back, gathered everyone in the living room after dinner at Dominic's restaurant.

Everyone sits on a chair surrounded by a table, and a water bottle and cups are lined up on the table. Reurus also sat on the chair and leaned on his back, sipping a sip of water before looking around at Eliza's faces.

"What? Reurus looks serious, but what kind of gathering is this?

Sarah asks as the chair snaps. The look is easy, but Sarah's personality will make it.

Eliza was seriously looking at Reurus, and Mia seemed anxious. Neddy was staring at the universe as usual, without expression.

"It's a family meeting... huh? Something's wrong... No, isn't it?

Reurus briefly states his purpose, but leans his neck with a little bit of catching. When she convinced herself that it wasn't a mistake, she opened her mouth again looking around at Eliza's faces.

"It's called training with Mr. Collard, and I've been doing this on my own lately... let me apologize for that first. I'm sorry."

While saying so, Reurus lowers his head. That's what I'm going to talk about, but lately I've spent less time with Eliza and the others than I used to.

I apologize for Reurus on that point, but I think it is bitter to say in the heart.

(I don't like to apologize in advance for bringing in new troubles...)

While feeling spiteful, Reurus continues to speak to explain the status quo.

"Not today... but almost two weeks ago, I've been getting a new request from Mr. Kanji."

"New request?

Hearing the words of Reurus, Meer leaned her neck strangely. Eliza's eyebrows, sitting next to such a mea, glittered silently.

"Oh, it's a new request. However, this request seems to be a lot of trouble... and I'd like to discuss it with you, including around here."

In order to hear Eliza and the others' opinions, Reurus lays low that he intends to accept. If you declare that at first, it is likely that the conversation will proceed on the assumption that you will accept it.

Hmm.

…………

Sarah hammers at her with little interest, and Neddy turns her gaze to Reurus silently.

"Er... is it a difficult request to set up a place to talk like this...?

"... I guess so. Instead of asking directly from Natalia, the adventurers' union receptionist, Reurus will try to explain it in advance. Let's make this an embarrassing request."

Meer raised her eyebrows in trouble and Eliza said in a pungent tone. Reurus smiled unexpectedly at Eliza's reaction.

"Exactly. Briefly, this request is for the escort of Mr Ruvillia, whom we all met the other day at the house of the Count of Velg."

Whatever it is, we must first explain the request. Judging that way, Reurus proceeded with the conversation while confirming Eliza's reaction.

"I'll escort Mr. Ruvillia to La Paris, a neighboring country, to a large forest in the east. And I will find a monster named Unicorn, who is said to be there, and treat Ruvillia... and that is the request offered by Kazuya."

When Reurus briefly explained the request, Eliza and the others split their reactions. They are Sarah and Neddy, who are still less interested, and Eliza and Meer, who reveal surprises.

"The East Forest... the Great Forest of Lille. I only know what I heard from my father, but it takes more than a month from here...."

"I'm going on a journey with the Vicomte Lady..." No fool would have said that!

It seems that Meer has some knowledge of the forest. Reus noticed that he was talking about the place name, but before that he noticed Eliza's steep expression.

"You think it's reckless?

"Of course not! Anyway, as long as she's used to traveling, she's weak... no, because of her treatment... mmm, before that..."

It was Eliza who rebelled violently, but changed from a thoughtful expression in the middle of her words. When I started to think about something with my hand around my mouth, I silenced for nearly ten seconds before turning a half-eye to Reurus.

"... I have a lot to say, but I'll check it out first. Did you bring in this request from the Viscount of Werg? Or is“ other nobles ”involved?

Reurus heartily remembered Eliza's words with admiration.

Spirits Sarah, Neddy, and Dwarf, Meer, are neglectful of human society, but Eliza is not. Even if he wasn't bad, he had more knowledge than Reurus, and he noticed something from even a small amount of information.

"I didn't ask you for details about which nobles, but it seems that there are several nobles involved. At first, an envoy of the Viscount of Velg brought me a letter, but I refused once because there was a combination of rewards. Then...."

"This time, the messenger came directly and changed the terms of my client's reward... I guess so. Can I ask you something about rewards?

"Thirty for the big gold. That's what we get paid to do.

As Reus spoke, Eliza silently pushed out her right hand and blocked her words.

"For us... that's not enough. I don't want to hear any more... or maybe not. Does Natalia tell you what to do?

Ah.

Reurus nodded back to Eliza, who spoke with a sharp expression. Natalia leaves it to Natalia to decide whether to accept the request or not.

"What else do you know about the request?

"Mr. Collard will cooperate... no, he will accompany me. Also, Mr. Gilba said that it would be safe to name spirituals on the journey and find the Spirit's" altar "for the purpose of the journey....."

Reurus said so, Eliza pushed herself down to the desk with a noise. With the momentum of sticking his forehead to the desk, Reurus unexpectedly floats his hips out of the chair.

"Hey, Eliza? Are you okay?"

I don't know what happened. The reason for this request is obvious.

Eliza raised her face slowly as she thought she was shaking her body with a push. The emotions that came to mind on that face were both irritability and anxiety.

"The Knight of the Nation accompanies him on his journey to another country with the Second Daughter of the Viscount... and several nobles are involved, naming spirituals... uu..."

"What's wrong, Eliza? Does your stomach hurt?

Sarah shouted strangely at Eliza as she began to roar. Eliza glanced sharply back at Sarah, but immediately shook her head realizing that it was pointless.

"Reurus... one thing... hmm, I just want to confirm one thing... I was told that you can refuse this request because you're listening to me like this.

"... ahh"

As Sarah said, Reurus nodded with a serious expression on Eliza's face, who was about to sweat cold.

"As I said before, I refused once. On top of that, another messenger came and fished up the reward. My boss said it would be helpful if you would accept it...."

Reus said so, Eliza sighed deeply. I wondered if I drank the water in the glass at once, and I shook my head to the side.

"First of all, I'm not against it. Thirty big gold coins? It's certainly not a lot of money, but it's not the amount that I can't earn if I think about the past. I'm not in trouble with my life....."

I think Reurus deserves Eliza's words. I thought the same thing as Reurus.

As far as Natalia and Zilba are concerned, the journey may not be so dangerous. The question of whether a unicorn can be found remains, but it cannot be confirmed without going there.

Eliza's reaction was natural, and it was natural to assume the opposite.

― ― But I have to accept this request

To be sure, Reurus opened his eyes to surprise.

"What? Um... Elizabeth, is that so?

What surprised me was that Meer was the same, and I leaned my neck strangely.

(Do I have to accept, not accept, do I have to accept?

Reurus raised his doubts in his heart as he tried to tilt his neck. Eliza's voice was strangely confident.

"I may be mistaken because I was not born in this country, nor was I born of nobility, but this is probably the first thing I should say if I refuse... no, I should say it at the stage of listening and getting involved."

While saying that, Eliza turned a meaningful gaze towards Reurus.

"And I was convinced... Reurus suddenly became a lower adventurer and was allowed to practice his sword... I doubted it since then, but I was sure about this. Is that what Natalia is?"

Hmm? What, what happened to Natalia?

Although Sarah asks strangely, Eliza does not answer. Do not lose sight of the rear view and stare straight from the front.

"... what kind of existence is that?

"Can I talk to you on the spot?

Though the Reurus was blurry, Eliza's response was bitter. Looking at it from the side, I wonder if it seemed like a rude atmosphere, but Meer was slow, but as a revulsion, she had to laugh bitterly.

(As I thought before, Eliza is strong in “this story of hands”... because of Grandma's education that she was taking care of.)

He was murdered by a Gregorian, but I wanted to see him once if I could. While thinking so from the bottom of his heart, Reurus takes a glass and drinks water to replace the air.

"It seems like it's a secret, so please lie down... if you know so much, I'd like to ask you, what do you think it's all about?

Reurus talks on the assumption that Natalia, the administrator, finds herself ruling the abandoned city of Laval.

"I can't say anything because I don't have much information. In the first place, when it comes to the idea of nobility in this country....."

But Eliza doesn't seem to see the whole story. So Reurus will give you as much information as he can.

"Hmm... it's obviously strange that I can't blame Miss Ruvillia for her death..."

And that's what Eliza reacted to. I twisted my head with my arms and felt suspicious from the bottom.

"Reurus, I don't know what you and Elizabeth are talking about, but I don't know if that's funny for me."

"You say it's okay to die when you travel to heal your body. This is crazy!"

…………

Meer and Sarah agreed, and Neddy just stared at Reurus, whether he was listening or not.

"It's okay to die... is it convenient to die? No, but then... when my body heals and when I die, is it different? So many nobles are involved....."

Eliza was seriously worried with wrinkles between her eyebrows. Reus was watching Eliza like that, but Eliza breathed a lot as if she couldn't figure it out.

"In the meantime, I know there's some sort of temptation hidden behind it... I'm not against accepting the request, but I think I can refuse it."

I would object to accepting the request, but I don't think I can refuse, so I'm passively in favor of it - that's what Eliza concludes.

"What do Sarah and the others think?

I'll check with Sarah, Meer, and Neddy about Reurus.

"Hmm? If Reurus is going anywhere, I'll follow him.

"... follow me"

Sarah blurred and Neddy showed her intentions with little but no words. Reurus glanced at Meer thankfully, and Meer was thinking about something with her hand around her mouth.

"Hmm... we're fine, but how does the young lady get around? I think we can get there in less than a month at our own speed...."

"... is it okay to accept it? Also, I don't know if I'll be able to talk to you around here."

Regarding the means of transportation, Reurus was also lost.

As Meer said, if only the Reuses were able to move with the Enhancements, they would be able to speed things up. But what happens when you add the weak Ruville there?

(Speaking of which, you got a sturdy van from the Viscount Velg. I can't believe you just modified it and dragged it to Mr. Collard's horse...)

If Kohlrad is going to accompany you, why don't you have him tow the truck to a horse owned by Kohlrad?

It was a Reurus that I had thought about, but now I wonder why the Viscount of Werg gave me the car.

This is a luggage that was conceded to carry the rewards earned in the castle city of Accra. Perhaps at that time, you had any thoughts on this request?

(No... no way...)

Reurus thinks it's a coincidence. If so, how far did you think about sorting the rewards?

Värg - I don't know how aristocratic Louis is, but other aristocrats have the same idea.

(Ah... this is what Eliza said, I have to accept a request...)

Unfortunately, it was a realuse that made me anxious about the future of this request.
