A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Yes... you're going to take it."

The next day, Natalia was told that she would accept the request, and Natalia murmured with a biting voice.

Reurus and Natalia are the only people in the Adventurers' Union because they had their feet in the middle of the day that it would be better not to tell other adventurers. Eliza and the others went as usual, but we will need to prepare for the trip from now on.

"Ah, Eliza told me she wouldn't take this one either."

When Reurus said so, Natalia changed her expression and smiled bitterly.

"Hey... I thought he was pretty educated, but at least he was a knight."

"It feels like my grandmother and father were the most powerful people in town... so? How are we supposed to move now?

I wouldn't tell you to pick up Ruvillia from the Viscount of Velg. I don't think Ruvillia can endure a long journey, though it's not very nice.

"Reply to the envoy staying in Laval and bring it home... for a week until the young lady comes to town."

"It's been a week..."

No matter how fast you get to Accra in a week or so. It takes two weeks for a horse to run between the abandoned city of Laval and the fortified city of Accra.

He recalled that it was two weeks before Diego and Carlo visited him as messengers, and said it was possible.

"Maybe you're staying somewhere other than Accra... close to the abandoned city of Laval?

Are you “waiting” closer to the abandoned city of Laval than simply Accra? When Reurus asks such a question, Natalia just smiles.

"I told you there are multiple nobles involved, right? Among them are some nobles close to the Viscount of Werg. Considering the distance to the town that the nobles will rule...."

(I mean, did you decide that this request would not be “eventually" declined and then headed this way....)

Reurus, who felt so from Natalia's words, raised his hands with a pulling smile.

"I won't let you in anymore... so what should I prepare for Ruvillia's arrival in a week?

Food, water, firewood and charcoal for camping, changing clothes, bedding, medical supplies, etc. must be provided for long journeys. If you have a town or village nearby, you can stop by and rest, but it's not always enough to cost money and stop by every day.

As far as food is concerned, only the Reurus can hunt the monsters on the spot, let Neddy magically bring out the water, and let Sarah burn the firewood. I wouldn't be surprised if Sarah or Reurus were awake when I went to bed.

Originally, firewood, etc. cannot be picked up without obtaining permission from the landlord or rights holder, but the rules around it are also loose during the journey. As a result, there are fewer things to prepare than a normal trip, but the noble lady will accompany you on this trip.

"I'll have the Collard horse tied to the wagon from the Viscount of Velg, so I can get some extra baggage... oh, the wagon has Calvin put a lot of hands on it."

"Was it prepared in advance? I won't say anything anymore, but if there's another problem...."

If there is a luggage car, there will be no problem even if there is a little more luggage. If there is still a problem, it is.

"--Can a noble lady eat monster meat?

"Wait, Reurus. That's not the problem."

When Reurus murmured with a serious expression, Natalia, who was equally serious, immediately stopped. Reurus leans his neck strangely in response to Natalia's reaction.

"Huh? There's a limit to loading food in the wagon, right? I'll prepare some in case I can't get“ local sourcing ”... oh, of course I'll bake it?

Reurus says there's salt and spices, and Natalia taps her temples for a headache.

"So that's... no, that's enough. If you can't endure that much, you won't be able to endure a long journey..."

"... patience?

The monster's giant body is edible, and when it is baked and shaken with salt and spices, it is a treat. Both Eliza, a bloodsucking species, and Sarah and Neddy, spirits, as well as Dwarf's Meer, who can be classified as monsters even if they are subhumans, leaned their necks.

"Hmm... well, that's right. It's a bit stimulating for the noble lady... if you just finish it off, it'll be internal organs or raw."

"Stop it. Collard will be angry with his companions anyway."

Thirty percent of the jokes and seventy percent of the serious talks were about Natalia stopping Reurus, but there was a part of the word that caught my eye.

"Are you traveling with someone other than Mr. Collard?

"There you are. You think I'm sending the noble lady out on my own? You'll be followed by a servant who will take care of you."

"Take care of yourself... and we'll be in trouble when you get sick"

It seems that there are other accompanying personnel, not just Ruvillia.

"However, this time, the content of the request is only the content, and there must be one or two servants. Including surveillance, there's only two of us, one good guy... that's about it."

"What is surveillance?

It sounds disturbing. Alert and asked by Reurus, Natalia narrowed her eyes slightly.

"You're going on a journey with the noble lady? My body's healed, but there's been a mistake, and there's no point in it."

"Ah... I see."

The point is to deal with the opposite sex. Reurus and Collard will accompany us, so it's only natural to pay attention to these points.

(Regardless of my age, Mr. Collard... may be about twice different, but nobles in this world may not care about the difference in age.)

Reurus nodded convincingly with such thoughts. Natalia smiles bitterly as if she saw through the thought of Reurus.

"They may not be that vigilant either. As far as I can tell, I think it's out of your league. I might be able to send them out with peace of mind."

"My preference?

"Nothing. For now, from tomorrow, you will help us defeat the monsters around town. Make sure the monsters don't come near while you're away, okay? And don't worry, we'll get you ready for your trip."

To Natalia, who laughed deceitfully, Reurus replied with approval, tilting his neck.

Reus, who later left the Adventurers Association, turned his leg to Dominic's restaurant.

For at least two months, we're avoiding long journeys that we don't know how long.

I wanted to tell her that I was away from home and try to get Dominic's food stocked up as much as possible.

"Hello. Hello, are you there?

It's better to tell them in advance than just before you leave. From that judgment, Dominic peeks into the back of the kitchen when he visits the restaurant and calls out.

"Reurus, I haven't done the shop yet."

"That's too bad... no, there's something else I can do for you. Corona...."

As Reurus said, he heard footsteps descending the stairs. Reurus glanced at the familiar footsteps, and there was a corona as expected.

"Ah, Mr. Reurus!

"Hello, Corona."

Corona smiles like flowers when she sees Reurus' face. It is a smile that brightens up even from the perspective of Reurus, which makes your mind feel unexpectedly at ease.

"What's wrong? It's a little early for lunch... but if it's okay with me, I'll make something.

"Oh... I appreciate that. But I'm really sorry, and there's something else going on today."

While attracted to Corona's suggestion, Reurus decided to take care of the matter at hand.

"After a week or so, I can ask you to vacate the house again. I thought I'd tell you that in advance."

So could you keep the keys to the house while I was away - the word of Reurus who tried to continue was broken.

"Eh...."

Corona opened her eyes to the unexpected words of Reurus. Reurus does not come out of such unexpected corona reactions.

"... for how long now?

Dominic starts to wonder because Reurus and Corona have lost their words in time. Reurus, who was then rebooted, replied while checking the condition of the corona.

"In two months at the very least, if it's a long time... maybe even longer?

"That's a long time... that's a long way from home."

"Ah, yeah, there are faraway ones, but maybe they have to fit the feet of the people I'm traveling with."

I don't think a frail noble lady can run at the same speed as us. Rather, if we can move at the same speed, we think it might be a light horror.

(Ah... Oh-san and Corona have a hard mouth, and it would be unjust not to tell them anything to keep the house key.)

Especially if Dominique is a former senior and lower adventurer, he is “on the same footing as himself”. Reurus, who decided to do so, decided to lie down and explain the details of the request.

"A new request came from the nobles involved in the previous request... to escort the noble lady to another country."

"What do you mean, that's what I'm asking...“

It was a rough revulsion explanation, but Dominic was somewhat convinced. Instead of pursuing it deeply, keep your eyes on the kitchen.

"From now on, me and Corona will have lunch... and you too."

"That's... no, thank you."

Reurus was reflexively reluctant to accept Dominic's offer, but nodded when he realized that it was Dominic's concern.

(Oh no... this should have come with Eliza and the others.)

If I found out that Reurus had eaten Dominic's food alone, Sarah's neighborhood seemed stubborn. While thinking about that, Reurus tried to go to the kitchen at least with his accustomed steps to help him prepare.

Sometimes I wondered how to speak to Corona without words. For this reason, I would like to first look at the machine while wiping the table.

"Ah...."

Ugh?

The cuffs were pulled by surprise and something stopped Reus. And looking over his shoulder, he saw a corona with an unusual cloudy expression.

"Er... Corona?

"Nh... no, no..."

When Reurus called, Corona blinked as if she had returned to me. In the meantime, however, Corona grabbed Reurus' cuffs.

I was wondering what happened to Reurus because of the unusual corona. Corona was staring at the Reurus, but she whispered after a short pause.

"Again..."

But I cut off the words immediately. Corona's eyes were shaking, and Reurus scratched his cheeks with his left hand, which was not grasped.

"Well, what... when I leave, can I have the keys to my house again? I'll be right back."

"─ ─ ─!"

Listening to Reurus, Corona opened her eyes wide. Still, she said that she could melt her expression immediately, relaxing her mouth.

"Please come back safely...

That said, Corona took her hand off Reurus's cuff. But as soon as I thought I'd lifted my hand, I put my right pinky finger out to Reurus.

When he saw it, Reurus leaned his neck - his little finger wrapped around Corona's little finger with his face broken.

"... I promise.

"Ah... I promise."

“As usual”, Corona smiled happily, dyeing her cheeks into dust.

A few minutes later, Reurus was dragged into the kitchen by Dominic.

"With you as a senior and junior adventurer, I can almost understand what's going on... I'm sorry, Reurus. I couldn't help Natalia. Even when I was young, when I was an adventurer, I wouldn't have had as much power as he wanted."

Dominic looked very serious when he told him that with one knife in his hand.

"But you have it... he's strong and smart, but there's no one to rely on instead. Could you help me with a little?

"Oni-san...."

The voice tone is also very serious, and Reurus nods seriously. Neither fellow towns nor individual Reurus would be hesitant to help Natalia.

Dominic nodded with a serious expression in response to such a revulsion.

"That's it....."

"Oh-san?

"As an ex-adventurer, but as a Corona father, don't you think it would be okay to hit him once?

"Oh-san!?

Reurus desperately pressed Dominic, who changed his expression.
