A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 277: Ruvillia Part 4

When did you get out of the Station, Collard dragged the two humans closer. As they approached the wooden fence, they jumped on their shoulders and returned to the Station with a lightness not commensurate with their appearance.

The sound of landing was very heavy, but there would be no other way than to take care of two people. Isn't the heavy landing sound rather close to the mood of the man who was confronting Reurus?

The man holds his dagger so that Collard can respond even when he moves, with his gaze on Reurus open. However, there were similar feelings of impatience on his face.

We may be able to break the status quo by slashing Collard, who has no weapons, but if we can't read Collard's skills and turn our backs to Reurus, we can be slaughtered instantly.

"... I should have kept it quite a distance."

"Let's not lick it too much. Yes, I can predict where the archer is hiding if he shoots an arrow over and over again. You can't be that far if you're that powerful an arrow."

Collard throws two of the men he was in charge on the ground and reaches behind his hips.

"But it is true that there was a greater distance than expected. Looks like he was using a pretty good weapon... well, where the hell did you get it?"

The tone was a little harsh, but Collard's voice was serious. Although he could not be seen positively from Reurus, Collard tied his enemies' weapons to a rope and put them around his waist.

Collard then took out a small bow with “various” appended objects.

Handles and triggers for gripping on a wooden pedestal where arrows are placed. "Magic letters" are engraved on the side of the pedestal, and a light glow can be seen.

(What was that...? Not a gun... fuck, crossbow? But was it like that? Arrows also seem to have different shapes....)

While slamming the man in front of him, Reurus pulled out the name that seemed appropriate from his memory.

In the memory of Reurus, the crossbow is as close as possible from the appearance and structure. But I couldn't be sure and stayed in doubt.

"At night, if it's raining, it's perfect for ambushes. And unlike just a bow, that arm with a weapon that looks less susceptible to rain and wind... you guys were after us from the beginning?

"... well, hey"

The man hangs the edge of his mouth so as to melt. There is a rush, but is there any secret policy that seems to leave room even in this situation?

Reurus thought that it was okay to slay Collard while he was focusing on him, but Collard was deliberately trying to get information. Arrest does not show any shards, while Reus keeps "Dragon Slash" ready to slay a man at any time.

"I've got two horses towing cars, and I've got all the ladies in good shape. I think that's what they're after.

"What a bad liar. While aiming for the“ woman with a good appearance ”first, I can't believe she came out."

"Ah... I told you I couldn't do it."

Only words are intimate, and the atmosphere is stretched and the two people exchange words.

"Well, how about this? I'll leave all my money, so let me go. This is a sneaky bandit. If I'm handed over to a soldier, I'll be tied up."

Reurus was impressed by his courage to slap him lightly in this situation - but Reurus turned to a lying man who would not have succeeded no matter what he thought.

"Whoa, that's not what I was saying... if you're going to tell a lie, you're going to tell a better lie."

"Because I'm in a fight... I'm nervous and I don't know what I said..."

Reurus stepped in to block the words and waved 'Dragon Slash' before the man reacted. And when the man grabbed the dagger and forced it to fly, he filled the space to be killed instantly with a swing of the sword.

"Answer this question deceptively. Next, I'll drop you, Gregorian."

"... it's a mess. And how did you know I was a Gregorian?

A man who doesn't deny it and asks why. Reus snorted at the man's question and put his strength into the hand holding the 'Dragon Slash'.

"I remember the Gregorians fighting like you... that's all."

"What? No, wait... it was dark and I didn't see it well, but you..."

A man who opens his eyes and keeps staring at Reurus. The gaze is directed from the head to the tip of the nail, and even toward the "Dragon Slash".

"A red-haired young adventurer... that's not uncommon, but an arm close to the bishop with a red sword..."

Somehow, the man's expression is getting stronger. It was similar to how the Gregorians reacted when they encountered Gilba, but if there was a difference, it would be that "something else”, not the Reus himself, was causing fear to the man.

Reurus wondered at the man's reaction, and Collard slightly lost sight.

"It's interesting, but that's enough time to buy. Looks like we've got all your men."

The man was distracted by Reurus's appearance, but he looked around me in the words of Collard.

Behind that line of sight was the appearance of anemones dragging multiple humans, just like Collard earlier. The difference with Collard is that the number of people grabbing and dragging their necks is doubled.

"The number of flying arrows... no, the number of archers can be squeezed from the number of“ rays. ”A pair of archers and arrow loaders. That's three pairs and seven of you. Shouldn't we stay out of the way until we find the archer's escort, except for the loader?

"... chi"

All a man could return to Collard with conviction was a small tongue. The man sat on the spot, dropping the remaining dagger on the ground, thinking that Reus might still be scratching his feet.

"Ah... I lost. I lost. Surrender."

Surprisingly, Reurus feels something that doesn't fall into his heart when he looks like a gentle man who admits to surrender. Still, he sighed and swallowed the question as he saw Collard holding the man fast with a rope.

The number of men Collard and Anemone brought with them was six. And there were seven of them, along with the man Reurus was dealing with. And he tied up the seven enemies with ropes, and saw the final decision.

Still, I can't discard the possibility that other enemies are lurking, but Sarah, who forgave the surprise this time, is desperate to explore the surrounding heat source and scrutinize to make sure she doesn't miss the slightest discomfort.

Unlike usual, instead of exploring the surrounding heat sources, he used his time away to focus on searching for enemies by exploring "unnaturally” different temperatures compared to the surroundings.

As a result, we came to the conclusion that it was extremely unlikely that other enemies were lurking. Sarah was frustrated that she had put too much effort into searching for her enemies than usual, but if the Gregorians weren't lurking, it wouldn't be a problem. Sarah decided to let the monster rest because she was aware of the revus.

"In the meantime, I've lowered the raid... Reurus, are you okay with your arm?

"Honestly, it's not okay."

Reurus shook his neck against Collard's carefree gaze.

I drank the antidote that the Gregorian man had in his possession, so I had no problem with the poison. Originally resistant to poison, he would not have died without the antidote.

But the wound on my left arm was troublesome. Fragments of broken nails entered the wound because the arrow pierced the nails.

I was fine in battle because I used 'Calorie Release', but now I have cut it to reduce my magic consumption. As a result, it seemed that the left arm was constantly suffering from severe pain.

According to Eliza's "contract," any minor injuries will heal immediately. Even if you get hurt deeply, you will recover somewhat if you sleep overnight. However, metal pieces that enter the wound are not discharged on their own.

Even if the wound is blocked, it will remain in your body and cause severe pain just by moving a little.

(There's a fragment in the thick blood vessel and it's still in the heart... it won't be fashionable if things go wrong...)

Reurus, who thought so, tied his arms tightly and stopped the bleeding when the fight was over. There is no guarantee that it will be okay, but it will be reassuring to some extent if the debris is removed.

"With the magic medicine you carry, the wound will be blocked, but we need to get rid of the debris before we do."

"It would be so much easier if you could do it all on your own...."

While saying that, Reurus gives up that it won't work that way. The same is true of the wound fragments, but because I have stopped bleeding, if I don't treat it as soon as possible, my arm will become necrotic.

"Without a light source, it's dangerous... but there's Miss Sarah, so that's not a problem. The question is who will remove the debris....."

"I'll ask Meer for that. I'm the best at it, and I can save my life."

Eliza and Neddy were asleep before the Reurus, but they woke up when the raid struck. Those two were more surprised than the fighting outside the carriage.

Anemone, who was supposed to have slept in the carriage, disappeared. He woke up before he could detect the attack and went to crush the enemy archer while Reurus was rampaging.

Collard also managed to break out of the Station and crush the enemy archer while the Reurus was raging, but the actions taken by the two brought suspicion to the Reurus.

(Perhaps Collard and Anemone knew there was an enemy attack....)

With that in mind, I was also convinced that Anemone was not feeling well.

(Anemone was pulled into the carriage because she wasn't feeling well, but it was also an act to catch her opponent....)

He looked really sick, but he must have played a play to lure his enemies. And the actual Gregorians attacked me, but I wonder if I trusted the strength of Reurus, and I entrusted Ruvillia's escort to Anemone to take care of the enemy.

It was so hidden that Eliza and Meer were in the carriage that they didn't notice. Reurus exclaimed and turned to Anemone, who was wearing a rainproof cloth to the captive Gregorians.

"... I'll take a rest in the carriage... I'm sorry..."

However, Anemone went to the carriage with her face red and her feet fluffy. Apparently he's not acting, but he's really sick.

…………

Reurus silently waits for Anemone to return to the carriage after entrusting Collard with the aftermath.

I never heard the impression that perhaps it was out of the question.
