A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The journey with Ruvillia, the daughter of the Vicomte de Velg, is progressing more smoothly than Reurus expected.

It was only about half a day after the departure, but Ruvillia walked the streets without whispering, and if she was tired, she could get into the van and rest without losing her health.

I'm sure Ruvillia herself understands that her body is weak, and that the Reurus who are accustomed to traveling are very weak in health.

Born into a privileged house called the aristocracy, he is low, he does not talk about impossible problems, and he does not make noise because he is tired. From the point of view of the Reurus in the position of escort, it was said that he would be very “well-behaved” and help the client.

However, the problem is not zero.

One is the slow pace of travel due to Ruvillia's physical condition.

This is not a big problem because it was originally assumed, but it is much slower than when we travel in the faces of Reus and Eliza, Sarah, Meer and Neddy.

Scaffolding is good because it passes through the street, but considering that the horse is connected and tows a wagon that can be called a carriage, the walk is slow.

I could say that the normal travel speed was too fast, but I felt like I was walking too slowly as a revulsion. Ruvillia can speed up when she is resting on a carriage, but it must be said that it is still slow when considered at average speed.

I'd like Ruvillia to ride the carriage all the time, but if she keeps on riding, she gets drunk from vibrations. For this reason, Ruvillia rests in a carriage without getting drunk, walks when she seems drunk, and rides the carriage again when she gets tired.

And the other problem is...

"Ah... Mr. Anemone?

Reurus, who was walking in parallel with the carriage, called out to Anemone, who was only a short walk away.

Speaking of loud anemones, he looked around without hesitation. The expression is so serious that the tingling atmosphere leaks around.

"... what is it?

An anemone that does not turn its eyes, but only responds with its voice. In the meantime, Anemone is busy watching her surroundings, but as a revulsion, she can only sigh.

"We'll take care of the enemies around us, and if anything happens, we'll take care of them. It would be helpful if you could just pay attention to Ruvillia."

"... as Ruvillia's maid, I can't help it."

"Sarah has a 'blessing' to find the heat around her, and I'll find out if the monster approaches. I'm not saying I'm out of my mind, but could you trust me a little bit more?

Is that what Ruvillian maids do, or do you not trust the skill of Reurus? Reus squeezed his shoulders to make him feel the severity, and he turned to Sarah, who was sitting on the roof of the truck.

"Sarah."

"Yes, yes. I've been looking around, but there's nothing wrong with it. I have some fever in the distance, but I don't think I noticed it."

Because it's moving slowly, Sarah's voice is seeping boring colors.

The streets are open, and there is nothing suspicious in Reurus' sight. Without feeling the magic, Sarah is always searching for the surrounding heat sources.

"What's the distance and how many?

"Hmm... 500 because it's closest... 700 far away? It's all five... but it's all working alone, so it's a monster. You want to go hunting? Are you going to bake it?"

"If you're going to attack me, I'm going to kill you, but for now, mobility and escort are our priorities."

"Yes... it's boring!"

Sarah sharpened her lips while hanging her legs. Between the carriages was Eliza and Neddy on the right, and Meer on the back, but everyone seemed bored somewhere.

If it's a normal journey, you walk with a chat, but now you're walking silently, reluctant to the air that Annemone emits. But there will be limits to that.

(There is a difference between the one who made the request and the one who received it... but that's exactly what this is.)

I don't want you to feel at ease, but the seriousness of Anemone is likely to have a negative effect on Ruvillia's health.

Now, when Reurus thinks about what's going on, a voice sounds from Collard, who was sitting at the edge of the carriage looking for two horses.

"The maid's hall. I know how it feels, but the journey is just beginning and it's a long way off. If you're like that, Ruvillia won't rest."

"Lord Collard....."

"Reurus is right, I won't tell you to relax... but if you don't relax, you won't lose your body."

When Collard said so, Anemone remained silent for about ten seconds. Then he thought he had exhaled and turned back to Reurus.

"That's right... Lord Collard is right. Please be vigilant."

With that, Anemone kicks the ground and jumps on the carriage. Probably to take care of Ruvillia, but the light leap was clearly the move of someone who knew how to fight.

The strength is unknown, but the arm is likely to stand. Even though I asked Reurus and the others to escort me, it might be natural for me to follow Ruville alone.

(Sebastian's grandson. The magic... is hidden, but can you feel it thin?)

Because of the proximity, I could feel the sharpness of Anemone's magic even though it's been trained with Collard so far.

If we judge only by the “sweetness” of the magic concealment, it won't reach Gilba or Natalia. However, it may be premature to judge by that alone.

With that in mind, Reurus instructs Eliza and the others to act as usual. I'm not letting my guard down, but there will be fewer bandits attacking in the streets in broad daylight.

(But I don't know... from the side, it seems that I and Mr. Collard are the only men's guards. Does the bandit make you look like a duck?

In this world where magic exists, the appearance does not become athletic. I think she's a weak girl, and even if she licks it, she can fold it in less than three seconds.

However, when it comes to asking bandits for that kind of judgment...

(If you try to attack me, there are two spirits in the bloodsucking species, dwarf... it's a good place to look scam.)

It's not a loud noise. Unlike a Gregorian priest or bishop, who has the same arm, he will be suppressed before he approaches. Sarah burned me out when I attacked a lot of people.

(... I don't think so. My thoughts are in a mess, and I'm thinking on the premise of being attacked....)

If they attack in this situation, they will attack Eliza's “Devil Avoidance” ineffective intermediate or higher monsters, bandits without looking beyond them, and Reurus who will decide what strength they can win.

I don't think the overwhelming strong are wearing bandits, but you should be more careful.

(Can't I tell you about Anemone...)

There are many things I think about this request. It can't be too much of an alarm, not just from Reurus' personal feelings, but also from the perceived lurking of some sort of hindsight or puzzle.

"Nh... nh?

Reus wondered if Sarah was nervous without knowing because of the circumstances surrounding the escort, and suddenly raised her suspicious voice.

"What's wrong?

"Far away... or is there a heat source in the direction of travel... hmm, a few dozen...?

When Reurus checked, Sarah stood on the roof of the carriage and narrowed her eyes as she looked in the direction. It's not what you actually see, it's just a matter of mood.

"A little with a dozen people... hmm, it's a small number to guard the streets"

Collard murmured, placing his hand on his chin, to see if he could hear Reurus and Sarah talking. I don't think he suspected Sarah's words because Reurus didn't suspect Sarah's words.

"Is it solidified... you mean the numbers aren't accurate?

"Yeah, maybe more than twice as many? Are you lurking in the woods by the road rather than down the road?

"... is there a high probability of banditry?"

Reurus usually travel through the woods, so they don't encounter bandits much. The risk of encountering monsters increases when they step into the forest, so bandits often descend near streets.

If you find a soldier, you pull him into the woods, but if the “prey” passes nearby, you attack. As for Reurus, I wonder if it is necessary to continue the position of bandit.

"Ah, it's moving... two fevers... three, it's moving towards me"

"Rejection? It's quite organized."

It hasn't been a day since you left, but did you get into trouble quickly? With that in mind, Reurus unraveled the sword band he had worn and grasped the pattern of the "Dragon Slasher." Never pull it out of the sheath, but do the gesture twice or three times without exercising to prepare.

"... are you going to fight?

"That's what I'm doing... I'll fight back if they set me up. Mr. Collard, will you please protect Mr. Ruvillia and the others?

I'm not going to take the lead as a Reurus, but it's an “enemy” if you attack. At that time, I was going to take it down relentlessly.

"... that?

But Sarah leaked a strangely unconscious voice. When Reurus looked at something, Sarah tilted her neck as she looked away.

"The fever that came this way stopped once, but I quickly went back to where I was... faster than when it came..."

"Hmm? What do you mean?

Reurus leans his neck to see if the search was not an end.

"What do we do after all? Do you want to keep going, or do you want to chase them down..."

"If you're passionate about your duties like Mr. Collard, I wouldn't be stingy to chase you down... in a corpse disposal sense."

While saying so, Reurus turned to Sarah. Then Sarah shook her neck to the side.

"The fever that came this way is back where it was, but we're all on the move. It's so fast... ah, I can't feel the heat anymore"

"... what was that?

Reurus doesn't even know what it was all about. It would have been a halfway move if we had sent out searchmen.

"In the meantime, we'll be fine, but let's move faster and run through."

"Hmm, that's a good idea... please forgive me, Ruvillia."

That's what keeps horses running faster, Collard. Reurus and the others pursued it without delay, but remained vigilant.

Slightly back in time.

There was a group of twenty bandits lurking alongside the streets on the path of Reurus and the others.

They were mainly targeting merchants passing through the streets, but the bandits of the watchman shouted unexpectedly.

--Prey.

The bandit had good eyes and captured a carriage moving along the street.

I can tell from the appearance of the accompanying personnel that I am not a soldier. I can't confirm the details of the shipment, but I think it is a merchant in terms of the size of the carriage and the fact that there are two horses.

The man who put the bandits together scolded his men for details. The carriage is supposed to be accompanied by adventurers, but the only town nearby with adventurers is the abandoned city of Laval.

For bandits, adventurers are not such great enemies. Some of them are quite capable, but they can only be pushed out if they win in numbers.

But the adventurer of the abandoned city of Laval hesitated to lead the bandits.

Not only around the abandoned city of Laval, but also in southern Mataroi, a town with Jilba, a famous spiritualist known for all of Mataroi.

Gilba occasionally leaves the abandoned city of Laval and travels there, but if she encounters a bandit in the meantime, she catches them without leakage and turns them over to the soldiers.

The strength is conveyed to the bandits, as well as the bandits who are thorough in fleeing as soon as they see the Spirits in black.

In addition to Gilba, there are adventurers in the abandoned city of Laval who have become famous in the last few months. Though less popular than Zilba, it was rumored that there were adventurers who happily hunted monsters around the abandoned city of Laval and sipped flesh and blood.

― ― The carriage escort and carriage adventurer wave their big sword with red hair.

The bandit leader immediately decided to retreat after receiving a report from his men who had rushed back in a hurry.

― Monster eater . If we succeed, we'll be eaten too.

Other complaining bandits nodded honestly to the words and retreated.

― ― For the time being, Reurus' journey was peaceful.
