A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"I think I might be concerned about this request. To the extent that I can answer it, if only I could answer it...."

Ruvillia's expression was serious, but there seemed to be a mix of emotions.

Tension, fear, anxiety - seeping negative emotions while staring straight at the revus.

Reurus, on the other hand, stroked Sarah's head on her thigh while thinking.

(What do you want to ask... what do you want to ask Mr. Ruvillia...)

Of course, I was concerned about this request.

But if you want to ask Ruvillia about it right here.

"--No, nothing in particular."

Reurus, who spent a few seconds thinking, said nothing in particular.

I have a lot of things to worry about and say. But what would it be if I told Ruvillia?

(Sometimes the world is safer without knowing... and of course, it can be dangerous without knowing...)

It would be a good opportunity for Ruvillia to speak as much as she can. But Reurus often can't tell if it's a "good thing to ask.”

As a result of asking with interest, it could be a feather jumping from the head into a noble-related bottomless swamp.

"I think you are also dissatisfied. I swear by the name of the Count of Velg, I will not be angry or punished. So I just want you to let me know that."

But how did you take such a leaflet of vigilance? Ruvillia spins words in a hurry.

(I think you're dissatisfied.....)

Reurus raised his eyebrows small.

If you ask me if I am dissatisfied, I can only say yes. Rather, it is enough to say that everything is unsatisfactory.

So far, there are no major problems and it is a good journey, but I am deliberately crossing the border to other countries. No one will know when, where, or what kind of problem will happen, and no one will be dissatisfied with it.

But we can't just hit Ruville with it. It was unlikely, but there was also a risk that it would be used as a story to persuade people to complain while keeping their mouth shut.

"That kind of thing, Sebastian... no, the city administrator will understand everything. As an adventurer, I'm just trying to get this job done."

Therefore, Reurus tries to close the conversation without being too scared.

This is a Reurus that I have clearly felt has changed the way I treat Natalia since she revealed her identity to me. It's not too stingy to meet Natalia's expectations, but moving with insufficient knowledge and common sense can be annoying.

(I don't think so, but I'm trying to drag you to the Viscount Velg's side by telling you something you shouldn't know... it's possible.)

For some reason, it's a warm Ruville, but he's been a member of the aristocracy since he was born, and he should have had a proper education, even though he's sick and weak.

It looks like a deep-window lady, but it's no wonder the side of manipulating the number of tricks is lurking.

(When I doubted it like that, I even felt suspicious about the current situation.....)

It must have been a coincidence that it had rained, but Anemone had fallen asleep with a fever and Collard was keeping an eye on the horse.

In such a situation, the noble princess takes the trouble to speak to the adventurer.

Isn't this really a bad person?

Because I used to talk to Natalia before I left the abandoned city of Laval, everything Ruvillia said seemed suspicious.

No matter how much he led the army in King's Landing, Natalia is a lineage of barons. Ruvillia, born of the Vicomte, may not have gained enough wisdom from her parents' education to outperform Natalia's accumulated experience.

It looks like a weak and sick woman, but once I suspect it, it's a realuse that seems more natural to me.

"Um, I'm scared of my eyes, but... are you mistaken?

"No... I don't know if I'm mistaken."

As Reurus stares at Ruvillia, Ruvillia shrinks while squeezing the feathered cloth.

Of course, there is also the possibility that Reurus is just mistaken. The puzzling expression of Ruvillia is natural and does not appear to have anything in her belly.

(... is that a mistake?

If the person asks me, I'm likely to smile, but I don't feel like Natalia. When I saw Reurus's reaction, I said, "Are you sure there's nothing? I'm so confused."

(Let me guess... if you think about it, it's a grand tour. If this had happened, would it have been better for Eliza to have happened?)

I put her to bed first because of her strength and character, but Reus regrets that she should have awakened Eliza. Anyway, if you wake me up now, I will tell you that I am clearly alert to Ruvillia.

Sarah and Meer are next to each other, but relying on Sarah for this hand was a problem before the bad guys. Meer has more knowledge and common sense of the world than Reus, but human society - and when it comes to nobility, it is more neglected than Reus.

Still, it was likely that Ruvillia's mental state would be worse if she continued to refuse. For this reason, Reurus sighs one at a time and asks questions that are unreasonable.

"Now, sweeten your words....."

"Nh... yes! Please!"

Ruvillia smiled at her as she made her face shine.

"How are you feeling? Anemone also had a fever, and if you think it's a little tight, it would be helpful if you could tell me sooner."

"Yes... eh?

And the smile quickly clouded.

"Unlike Anemone, I think it's okay because Ruvillia is totally amateur. Anemone stays nervous for a long time, but not Ruvillia."

Huh?

"I had them rest as soon as I got tired and sleep at night as much as possible. Of course, you must be tired, but I don't think I'm tired enough to suddenly get a fever like Mr. Anemone... are you sure you're okay?

"Ah, yes... it's okay."

The most important source of concern on this trip is Luviria's physical condition. Not only Reurus, but even Collard, Anemone, and Eliza are paying attention.

Reurus asks just in case, and Sarah, who came out of Reurus' lap pillow, secretly talks to Meer.

"I've completely ignored Ruvillia's expectations. Is that on purpose?

"I don't know... but that's what Reurus does sometimes..."

Of course, it sounds like Reurus because of the proximity, but he never touched the conversation. I didn't mean to, I just heard what I wanted to hear about this trip.

But you can't just stop talking about it. As a revulsion, I would say, "Sleep this late at night," but Ruvillia's eyes are puzzled and discontented at the same time.

"... and do you have any thoughts about traveling?

The administrative response seems dissatisfied. Ruvillia nodded bewildered as Reurus waved a new topic.

"That's a lot more. I can't talk about it overnight."

"If you talk about it overnight, you'll definitely get sick, so if you're going to do it, why don't you go back to the Viscount Velg's house?

Ruvillia sparkled, but if Reurus hadn't stopped, there were really signs of overnight talk. Therefore, if you stick the nail immediately, the cheeks will now swell up small and dissatisfied.

"Mr. Reurus, aren't you cold?

"It's not cold, I just don't know what kind of attitude to take from the noble princess and what kind of topic to talk about."

What are you expecting from an adventurer, Reurus sighed.

"Ah, then I'll ask you a question! Try traveling. What's so fun?

Sarah, who had not tried to participate in the conversation as much as possible before, ran into the question. He heard a conversation between Reurus and Ruville and tried to get out of the rescue ship.

"I see... if you ask me what's fun, I'll be in trouble."

"Really?

"Yeah, it's all fun."

That's how Ruvillia smiles at Sarah.

"This is how I walk the streets on my feet, eat around a fire at night, sleep under the night sky even in a carriage... all of which is fresh and fun."

(... hmm)

It seems that Ruvillia is enjoying the current situation deeply because of the thickness of the extraneous nerves.

"Er... then I'll ask you the same question. If you can't answer, or if it's difficult to answer, I'd like you to listen to me...."

Sarah catches me and Meer tries to ask me questions. I wondered if Reurus should stop, but I decided to listen to him for the time being.

"I heard you were sick and weak, but what's wrong with you? As far as I can see, it seems healthy enough to be able to take a long trip with just less health....."

Meer talks a little bit deeper into thinking about Ruvillia. Originally, I should have asked before I started my journey, but I didn't know what would happen as a revulsion, so it was a topic I avoided.

Still, it's not something you can ignore to continue your journey. Now that Anemone has developed a fever from exhaustion, she doesn't know what's causing Ruvillia's condition to deteriorate.

If you're about to set foot on a landmine, let's cut it out - while thinking about it, Reurus awaits Ruville's response.

"... that's what I don't understand either."

However, the response was unexpected. Ruvillia herself doesn't seem to know much about her condition.

"I haven't been on this journey, but suddenly my chest gets painful and I can't stand up, or I get so hot that I can't get out of my bed... it changes sometimes. Sometimes I don't have anything for more than half a month like this, sometimes I get fever like every day...."

The look on Ruvillia's face is different from before. He says his physical condition changes with unexpected frequency and weight with a serious voice tone.

"Famous doctors, healing magicians, magical instrument makers... both your father and brother Lewis tried to find out and cure using various handlers. But it doesn't seem to heal at all....."

"The last remaining means is unicorn... are you going to be born?

Natalia used to say that Ruvillia's illness was natural. Reurus still bumps into questions to keep the conversation going to satisfy Ruvillia.

(Were there any other diseases in my previous life... no, wait? I wonder if unicorn can be cured even if you're born weak....)

I don't know how powerful Unicorn is because I've never actually met him. Even if the Unicorn cannot be cured, the request to deliver Ruvillia to the Unicorn will be fulfilled.

It is not something that Reurus is concerned about whether it can be cured or not. As requested, we delivered Ruvillia safely, but the unicorn's power couldn't be cured. Such a result is all that remains.

In that case, the Vicomte de Velg seems to be a mess, and Ruvillia's reply reaches the ears of Reurus who thinks so.

"No, it started when I was 10 years old. You used to be better, right?

"... what?

Unexpectedly, you forget to honor your words and listen back.

Of course. Did “um” Natalia lie - or did even Natalia get the wrong information?

"No, so since I was ten years old... I'm ashamed to fall asleep at my first social occasion."

― ― Reuruuuu!

Sarah raised her voice to block Ruvillia's words. Reurus's body moves faster than surprised.

A slight feeling of killing and bouncing rain grains at the edge of the sight. Prior to the brain recognizing it, Reurus reflexively projected his left hand towards Ruvillia.

"Hmm!?

An arrow powerful enough to pierce the nails worn by Reurus stood in his arm.
