A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 282: The Great Forest of Lille Part 2

The old man suddenly appeared above his head even though he had no sign shards until now.

The figure standing on the branch of the tree is extremely natural, regardless of how long it has been there.

Judging by its appearance, it will be entering the realm of old age beyond its beginnings. As a man, he has a small body, but he does not have to bend his back and stretches straight out with a pin.

It was characterized by its long, glossy gray hair enclosed in the back of the head and shaped like a teapot.

The outfit is similar to a white uniform, and the foot is grasshopped.

The face with wrinkles engraved everywhere should be called the grandfather, and the gently lowered corner of the eye strengthens the impression. But “why are you lowering your eyelids” is not really a favorite.

"Ho, Eyebless Eyebless. Hmm, young girls are good after all." Blessed is the good. Blessed is the good. "

----because they are looking at Eliza and the others who are in the bath made by the creek.

――――

Who you are and why you are here. Reurus moves ahead of those questions.

Shake up the Dragon Slash silently, fly the magic blade, and cut the tree branch from the root. Suddenly, the old man suddenly loses his scaffold and begins to fall freely. He looks at the "Dragon Slash".

The first thing I wanted to do was stop peeking, and I was going to turn my sword back and finish it off.

I'm not going to kill you with a peek, even if it's a revulsion. Just because there was a stream, I made a bath of my own accord, and I just entered it on my own. It's nothing but a mess to kill because you peeked at it.

In my head, I thought calmly, but my body was moving with emotion. The moment the free falling old man entered the time, he waved the "Dragon Slash" - cut the sky as it was.

"Hmm!?

Reurus took an unexpected breath at the phenomenon that happened in front of him.

What kind of technology is that? I wondered if the old man had disappeared in the air and landed on the belly of the Dragon Slash, which had been wiped out by Reus.

It's not a hassle. Cool, young. "

And the old man smiles with his teeth on, but he has no evil intentions. The old man landed without making any footsteps, thinking that Reurus had flipped back before recognizing the weight on both hands.

"If you think you feel strange signs along with the smell of someone you know, you've come across a lot of strange people. What are you like? Since when did you become a master geisha?

The old man leans his neck with his arms behind him as he moves away from the revus in a natural movement.

"And that weapon. I smell a Vanilla kid, but I don't know if you killed that kid... but I don't want to hear that."

I can't feel the magic from the old man in front of me. However, Reurus slowly lowered his hips while maintaining maximum vigilance.

"... you're the one Vanille was talking about, the Unicorn shit?

Perhaps the old man in front of her was the unicorn Vanille was talking about. The old man laughs joyfully when Reurus asks.

"It's so cool!" said Grandpa Shit. So, you didn't kill the kid, did you know him or something?

"I know you... no... I'm just a friend in a fight"

"Huh! Fighting with friends!? I wonder if you might be able to serve that little brat..."

An old man nodding constantly about what's fun. Reurus wondered if Sarah should be contacted in "Idea Calls," but he hesitated. Sometimes the other person's attitude was friendly, but he was talking about something that bothered him.

(This old man is saying "as you know me".....)

It was definitely the first time we met, but Reurus was confused by an old man who talked as if he had seen through himself. Even with the Dragon Slash, there is no need to be vigilant.

"I'm glad you answered my question... Grandpa, are you sure you're in the woods with a unicorn?

Perhaps you should ask more poorly, but the unfamiliar atmosphere of the old man in front of you did not. In addition, peeking was the reason for removing courtesy from Reurus.

"Whatever. It's the Unicorn Axis. What kind of lord is that? What do you want with my grandfather?

"... it's Reurus. I brought someone to see Unicorn on a job request....."

An old man who somehow talks to his parents - Axis of Unicorn.

But when I heard Reurus's words, I frowned.

"Hmm? Do you want to see him? Who the hell is that? You're not talking about that blonde girl or that navy hair girl, are you?

…………

Reurus also looked strange to Axis, who asked strangely.

"The other ladies... no, the bloodsucking ladies and the dwarf ladies are rude to call the spiritual“ both of you ”. Who said you wanted to see him?

"Ah... Grandpa, why are you talking about Eliza and the others..."

Reurus asks by inadvertent paranoia. It must be difficult to judge blood suckers, subhumans, and spirits by their appearance alone. That's when Sarah is fighting with “all her might” in a flame, and she won't know unless she shows a characteristic figure.

Axis twisted his neck to ask Reus.

"I can tell by looking at it. Ah, even if I look at it, I can only see your face. The cloth got in my way, and I don't like it if I don't grow up like that blonde girl."

"I don't know about your sexuality... and by the way, the blonde girl said she wanted to see you."

As Reurus answered the question slowly, Axis shook his head with his eyebrows raised.

"No, no, what are you doing? I've only seen it from afar, but that girl must be a royal or aristocratic daughter, no matter how she looks. Don't you know the promise to stay out of people's business more than necessary? Which horrible princess flew in... hmm?

It was Axis who for some reason began to clatter in a hurry, but his expression was suspiciously distorted. Then he looked at the realus twice and three times, from head to toe, and opened his mouth without confidence.

"What... my lord. Human... human? No, a human...?

"My first grandfather suddenly suspected me of being human, hey...."

After hearing Axis's remarks, Reus unexpectedly weakened and lowered his sword. Of course, I remain vigilant enough to cope with a sudden attack, but Axis's reaction sprays Reurus's lethal air.

"... Lord, are you human?

Say, "What does it look like, other than humans?"

Reurus answered Axis, asking him with his face, if he had not come to a conclusion.

I have been suspected several times before, but this time by Axis, who has done little. For that reason, the weakness of Reus was also terrible.

"I see... no, but this is... fuumu..."

"Would you mind not reacting while looking at people's faces?

Axis nodded interestingly as if he had stared at Reurus' face.

"I'd like to kick a human man, but I don't see any sign of that from your employer.“ Ancestral Return ”is so powerful... in the first place, it's only a split that breeds..."

"... what are you talking about?

Axis walks around Reurus whispering. Behind the scenes, Axis keeps turning around without showing any signs of hostility.

"No, what? I thought you thought the slime had 'changed', didn't you? I was impressed by a slime of a lot of wisdom and mastery... but when I checked it carefully, it looked like a human being."

"It's like....."

Reurus wants to hold his head against not being affirmed as a human being, but Axis is surprisingly serious.

"I can only say it's human. Master, do you feel anything like a slime? The smell of the kid is the same, but I was attracted to that sign and came here to see it. Don't you want to be full no matter how much you eat, or have" protection "that turns what you eat into magic?

――――

I met Axis and was silent for the second time. However, unlike the previous one, it is close to the climax caused by astonishment.

"... there is... there is a sign... of a monster swallowing everything from the Great Spirit... I've been told..."

The words that came out of Reurus' mouth were the words that had been spoken to Commona before.

"Ah, Komona? So you know him too? So, you're alive?"

"... it's like an acquaintance of mine is under the 'protection' of the Great Spirit and can talk for a limited time..."

It was a Reurus who accidentally talked about Esther, but Axis somehow looked painful.

"That's... that's not a tough kid again. Let's go with you."

I don't know what criteria I used to make that decision, but it seems like it would be from Axis. Reurus was in a good mood to say the ultimate confusion, but the question still came to mind.

"I... what... am I... okay?

However, the questions that arose were very vague. Reurus himself does not know what he is asking for and what he is asking for.

"Hmm... from what I've seen, I don't think there's any particular problem."

It is not so powerful as an assertion, but it is a voice tone with some certainty.

I don't know if it's because I think I'm older than Vanille or because I'm Axis, or because it's the ability of Unicorn. Still, it was a clearer tone than the communicating comona.

"Something strange is mixed up, but you're not a slime, you're not a human. Well, to paraphrase Komona, it's the result of a thread of causation."

"... if I could understand that, I wouldn't have to struggle."

The first time I spoke to Comona, I did say something similar. But if you can understand that, you won't have to struggle.

As Reus unexpectedly sighed, Axis nodded after looking at Reus again from top to bottom.

"Hmm... that's right. It might be just right for you."

Axis whispers lightly in the air, as if the seriousness until then were a lie. Having heard such Axis's words, Reus shook his head before asking.

"... what are you talking about?

"What, this is one cause and effect... no, you don't think it's the edge? I just thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to interfere a little through you."

That's what Axis laughs at.

"In the meantime, would you introduce these girls to me? Don't just look, I won't do anything, okay?

And I was seriously worried about whether Reus could bring me back to Axis, which suddenly had a favorite atmosphere.
