A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The time spent in the fortress city of Arras ended up in four days.

It was an unexpected period of rest for Reurus, but it was just right in the sense of relieving the fatigue that had accumulated on previous journeys.

Meer repaired the wagon that had been a little rattled on the journey so far, and adjusted the weapons and armor.

We also know that the vanilla has unicorns, but we don't know how many days it will take to find them. For this reason, even if it takes time to investigate, it is possible to buy a lot of food, including preserved food.

According to the elderly man who was taken care of at the church, it takes about five days on foot to the big forest of Lille. Close to the border with Berlid, the well-maintained streets are only halfway there, but the roads seem to be even enough to be accessible by carriage.

According to the story, further east from Alas, there is a country called Ustria, and there is also an island country called Zipang, which separates the sea. It is a place name that attracts interest as a realuse, but this time we have to prioritize the request.

The border from Arras to Ustria is about half a month, and from there, it takes about half a month to reach the eastern edge of the Caldeba continent. It seems that we will arrive in Zipang in a week after being rocked by the ship, but we can't actually confirm it.

However, Reurus thought that he might visit some day and wanted to keep it in the corner of his memory.

(Zipang... is rice the staple food after all? The rest are Japanese clothes, fighting with a sword....)

Reurus recalls the fried rice he ate in the abandoned city of Madalo. But along with that, a woman snooped her face in the back of her head.

(Did the bishop say... "Kanna"? In terms of clothes and weapons, is he from Zipang...?

A Gregorian bishop who manipulated two small daggers and crossed both sides of Gilba. It was a realuse that came to mind, but I shook my head and cut off my thoughts.

Hmm? Reurus, what's wrong?

"No, nothing."

Sarah calls out wondering if she saw Reurus shaking her head. Sarah nodded as if she had been satisfied or lost interest when she learned that Reurus was trivial.

Already ready ready to leave Arras. All we have to do is get out of the gates and head for the big forest of Lille. I also gave five pieces of gold coins to the church I took care of under the name of donation, and there was no particular problem.

The weather is blessed and the skyline is pleasant. It will be a great travel day.

Reurus and the others go out of town through the castle gate and head northeast. I've been attacked by Gregorians, and I'm always on guard.

Collard walked through the front, sandwiched the carriage, and Reus laid down four Elizabeths on the left and right of the carriage, and Anemone took the reins of the horse, and served as lord. Ruvillia varied from time to time, but mostly walked by the carriage to hide immediately in the event of an accident.

Walking like that for a while. Compared to the streets we've been on, it was a Reurus that frowned on a slightly rough road surface, but Sarah shouted unexpectedly.

"... hmm? What, are you missing a tail?

I don't think you can actually see it, but Sarah says as she looks around.

"Really?

"Yes, I thought it was strange right after I left town, but I don't have any heat sources to follow. I'm trying not to overlook it..."

Sarah's expression exploring the surrounding heat sources is serious, either because she forgave the Gregorians a surprise.

"Hmm... you think we're spirituals, and you're unsupervising us, or you're watching us near our destination... I'm confused."

Hearing a conversation between Reus and Sarah, Collard raised his eyebrows in suspicion.

"Every time I stopped by town, I gathered information. If you don't have a Gregorian spear, isn't it strange that you should be trusted... if you take over the surveillance, what line does the Lord of this land have?

We're close to the border. Speaking of Mataroi, it is a land ruled by the Viscount Verg. It's hard to expect if you're not motivated. "

If there are no soldiers to follow, Reurus and the others should be happy. But I noticed the tail was gone before I got to the destination.

"Why don't you think about this? Aren't there any towns or villages between Arras and Lille's woods? If you want to get off course and go somewhere else, just wait there and you'll get caught in the net."

"... we're staying in Arras for four days. Is it easy to go around?"

"Indeed... that's a possibility."

When Eliza revealed her thoughts, Reurus and Collard nodded convincingly.

If you're heading straight for the Great Forest of Lille, it's convincing that you're looking for the 'Altar' as a Spirit. But what do you think if you change course here and go to another town or village?

(Did he notice that we were following him? If you don't have someone to follow you, you might be able to “tail” me safely... so if you lay down the watchman in another town or village, you'll be able to stick me in the net.)

If that were the case, Reurus thought it would break the opponent's bones.

The purpose of the Reurus is not to be an "altar", but a unicorn. However, from the beginning, the large forest of Lille has been designated as the destination. If you serve your purpose in the great forest of Lille and return to Arras as it is, will Rapali be convinced?

(Remember, there's a chance that someone might be following Sarah's senses... don't just be alarmed.)

Sarah is eager to search her surroundings, but she may be better at one or two.

Reurus tightened his temper and went down the road to Lille's great forest.

Five days after we left Arras.

The time when the sun begins to tilt and the evening is almost over. The Reurus reached what they thought was Lille's great forest.

It is a place where the vastness is well understood from a distance, and when approached, it is likely to step on its gloomy atmosphere.

It's called the Great Forest, and no one knows how big it is. I can't see how far the edge of the forest goes, but I'm hiding on the horizon.

If you try to calculate the area, how big is it? Rather than a noble territory, Reus thought it was likely to have an area equal to or larger than the land owned by a small country.

(Looking for a unicorn in the woods... can't we?

Reurus, who saw the size of Lille's large forest, thought such a thing in his heart.

With regard to the journey from Arras to the Great Forest of Lille, it was peaceful without the disappearing tail appearing again, without being attacked by bandits.

It was a peaceful journey as the joyful and brave Reurus attacked the intermediate-level monster once, and it was dinner that day.

--Yes, the journey itself was peaceful.

Hey, Reurus.

"... what?

The edge of Lille's great forest. Reurus, who had advanced to the position that they could not proceed by carriage because there was no road, was preparing for night shift because they found a place where the stream was flowing.

Then Sarah talks to Reurus with an innocent smile.

There was no such thing as a "station" because the road was cut off halfway between Arras and the big forest of Lille. Therefore, as the evening approached, it was necessary to find a place suitable for the night shift, stop the carriage, and prepare for the evening.

What Reurus is doing is making a fire. I prepared it before I lit the fire, but I was putting firewood together to make it easier for the air to pass through.

Sarah asks in a strange tone towards such a revulsion.

"Anemone is sick. Why do you lie? Maybe he's trying to hide it, but he's not feeling well, is he? Not as hot as when the Gregorians attacked me."

…………

Reurus replied silently to Sarah asking while tilting her neck.

(In Arras it was Ruvillia, but now it's Anemone....)

Though I think about it in my heart, I don't put it on my face.

Three days after we left Arras, Anemone went crazy and occasionally asked Meer to take him to the carriage.

Not as much as Collard and Anemone, but Meer can steer the carriage without any problems in a short time. However, his arm is not better than Collard's, and if he wants to keep the carriage safe, he should ask Collard for help.

(I don't think Anemone would like it if the opposite sex was right next door.....)

Hmm, Reurus feels like he can't say anything.

On the journey of the Reurus and the others so far, I don't know if I'm lucky, but I didn't have any difficulty with it. Even with Reurus and Sarah's ability to search for enemies and Eliza's "Avoid Monsters," the unusual movement speed was achieved because no one was sick.

Reus is a man, and Eliza and the others who act together are women. But Eliza is a bloodsucking species, Meer is a dwarf, and Sarah and Neddy are spirits.

Unlike Ruvillia and Anemone, who are pure human beings, we are not facing any trouble with Reurus.

"Hey, hey. Do you know why Reurus is here? Alas, that's what Ruvillia looked like. But maybe Ruville was spicy? When I heard the reason, Eliza and Meer suddenly blocked my mouth. Isn't it bad?"

As Sarah grabbed her hem and repeatedly asked, Reurus looked a little distant.

(I wonder how men's parents react at times like this... if I ask him... no, if I ask him that, he'll kill me.)

Reurus mechanically moves his hands to put together firewood, but his heart is pushing.

Now, disturbing her head about how she answered, Eliza, who was pumping water in the stream, shouted.

"Reursu! The water here is beautiful, and if I want to make it, I think I can make a bath!

"What? Bath? Wow! Then it's my turn!

Then Sarah ran back to Eliza to see if she had lost interest. Reurus, who had left Sarah behind, exhaled relief.

And then an hour later.

When the camp was ready, and it was almost sunset, Reurus and Collard were kicked out of the camp.

The reason is that Eliza and the others enter the baths set up next to the creek, where Ruvillia is also mixed.

It was naturally Anemone who drove out Reurus and Collard. Even though he seemed ill, he drove the Reurus away with a temper not to kill him if he got close.

Reurus do a lot of things at home and on the road, but you can turn it into hot water by throwing Sarah in the water. If you build a “hot tub” and ask Sarah to warm up the water, it will turn you into an instant bath.

Only the Reurus can take a bath, but this time, Ruvillia and Anemone are with them. As a result, a rainproof cloth was placed around the bath, making it easy for people to see through.

It is only natural that Reurus and Collard were expelled from the camp as women. Reurus and Collard nodded silently, and each decided to hit the perimeter guard.

Reurus crosses the creek to the great forest side of Lille, while Collard watches the other side to prepare for monsters and bandits. Anemone's eyes are shining by the bath, so it will be perfectly close to being on alert.

(Well, if a girl travels for five days, she'll wonder....)

Because she is a girl of her age, Eliza and Meer tend to be concerned about the smell of sweat. In this case, the tendency was remarkable because Ruvillia, a noble lady, was accompanying her.

It can't be normal to take a bath on the journey. I used a bathhouse when I stopped by town, and I used a damp cloth to wipe my sweat when I was out at night.

But it's not the case with Reurus and the others. If there was enough water to take a bath, Sarah would turn it into hot water.

Worst of all, you can have Neddy pump out the water and make a bath. It goes without saying that Collard has a low level of difficulty with the trip itself.

(Will you let me in later... right now, we need to be vigilant)

Reurus stepped into the great forest of Lille, keeping him away from the creek while trying to escape the Dragon Slasher at all times. Sometimes it's to keep an eye on the creek, but to watch out for monsters coming out of the woods.

However, this is close to the Anemone pose that alerts you in the bathroom. Sarah's ability to detect heat sources is much wider than Reurus's ability to detect magic, making it easier to watch her surroundings while she's in the bath.

If anything happens, Sarah will use the Idea Call to alert you. It seems that the role of boiling water is somehow tense, but Reurus believes that there is no letting go of it.

"Ho ho ho. This is a spectacular view."

--That's why I didn't expect to hear such a voice.

"Hmm!?

Reurus immediately pulls out the Dragon Slash and takes a combat stance. And when I looked around for signs, I felt signs above my head.

"Yep, don't you think so?

How long have you been there?

There was an old man standing on a tree branch and staring at the stream.
