A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 286: The Head Hunt Part 1

"I got a good idea. How about I fight with Lord Reurus's sword?

"If you try to use my sword, you'll burn to death. Give it up."

The day after I met Axis.

Reurus was being persuaded by Anemone before he could find "The Head Hunter."

"... you're kidding me."

"No, this sword is my own magic tool. It burns when I hold it, so I can't let you try it...."

From time to time, Reurus seems to forget, but "Dragon Slash" has a very noisy anti-theft mechanism. If someone who doesn't know anything tries to steal it, it will flame up the moment they grasp the Dragon Slash.

However, it seems that using "deactivation" is “just in case”, and when Meer cares for "dragon slashing", she handled it by wearing special leather gloves. Anyone who burns like Sarah will be able to use Dragon Slash, but that would be too much of an exception.

Of course, Reurus won't tell that much. I don't intend to have the Dragon Slasher shake anything other than myself.

"Ma'am, I think your loyalty to your lord is wonderful, but would it be a good place to commit suicide by fighting an advanced monster with an unfamiliar weapon? We should leave this to Reurus."

Collard, who was listening to Reurus and Anemone's conversation, laughs bitterly and arbitrates.

"And it was better to be your grandfather, Sebastian's teacher. And you call it the opposite?

"That's what they say....."

As Collard persuaded, Anemone withdrew reluctantly. Had Anemone been able to use Dragon Slash without any problems, he would have taken it from Reurus and challenged Neck Hunting. I had just the temptation to make him think so.

"Hmm? You can't call him a teacher? I said I did my homework, but it's up to Sebastian to figure out how to grow from it. All he did was give me a little slice."

However, Axis tells us that it would be a waste of Collard's persuasion. Does Axis's personality make him speak in favor of Anemone rather than Collard?

"But it doesn't change that you can't use Reurus's sword after all, does it?

"That's right... by the way, what's the tone, Eliza-san?

Eliza, who was about to send a rescue ship to Reurus, asked Anemone with a strange look. Eliza slightly distracts herself from Axis.

"... don't touch it... if this grandfather is gone, I'll be back..."

"Hmm? What have you done?

Seeing Eliza's reaction, Axis tilted his neck. But as soon as you reach under your nose, you open and close your hands without meaning.

"By the way, young lady. Looks like we're still growing up, don't you think? Can you help me with everything? When the opposite sex rubs it, it gets bigger."

"Whoa, my hands slipped."

"Hyah!?

The "Dragon Slash" is shaken by the wind as Axis is trying to sexually harass her without alarm or gap. Axis noticed that he avoided slashing by straying from his upper body, but because Reus didn't have any killer temper, he avoided it at a critical point.

As a revulsion, I didn't intend to kill him as much as sexual harassment, so I didn't want to kill him, but it turned out to be a surprise.

"Grandpa, stop because it's bad for education. Or did you prefer to grow up?

"I think the sudden slashing of the master is bad for education... and there's also the pleasure of raising yourself, right? In that regard, you are one of them."

"Oops, my hands slipped so big."

"Phew-ooh!?

It was a revulsion that waved "Dragon Slash" again, but Axis was avoided in a single piece of paper because it was stronger than before. This was partly due to the wasteful and sophisticated way of avoiding by sideways flipping along with the "Dragon Slasher."

"Don't pull like a joke of a bad nature if you avoid being agile with your appearance."

"I won't hesitate to pull you to the slashing lord... Now, let's leave the joke at that. It's not serious from here."

Axis, who had landed avoiding slashing, had a serious expression, as he had said.

"It's Reurus. As I said last night, he sees that he is likely to win the most" neck hunt "of all times... but“ really ”that's fine, right?

Reurus nodded silently in response to such an Axis question.

Originally, Reurus traveled here on a request to heal Ruvillia's body.

If I couldn't find the unicorn, I couldn't help but wonder if it was a coincidence or a necessity. I came closer to the other party. And while it was a challenge, I pulled out the conditions that would heal Ruvillia.

If I refuse here, I don't know what I'm doing here.

(The Gregorians attacked me, my grandfather met Sebastian, and I don't know how to fall if I refuse...)

Reurus exhales deeply in his heart, with a serious expression on his face.

Though strictly ordered not to speak of Axis, Sebastian would have disclosed some information for his lord, the Viscount of Velg.

At least I'm telling you that Unicorn exists in the big forest of Lille. If that's the case, it would be interesting to deliberately bring the request to Reurus, the adventurer.

(This grandfather's personality... no, if I knew about his sexuality, I'd hit him... not only with Ruvillia and Anemone, but also with Eliza and the others. Isn't it strange to think they're going to come out...?)

In fact, there is something suspicious about Eliza telling me that she was caught and showed herself.

I haven't talked to Elizabeth, but Axis said that he seemed to have shown up because he had a weapon that smelled like vanilla and still felt something similar to a slime from Reurus.

--I was about to peek at the bath first, but I may have actually just fallen in love with the color.

(It seems that there are several nobles involved in this request, and it stinks and I can't help it. The Gregorians attacked me, but it was obviously behind it.....)

Reurus thinks it's troublesome and troublesome. But I have no choice but to come here and say no.

If you meet Unicorn and kick the conditions to heal Ruvillia, it's obviously going to hurt you.

At the very least, it would have been worthless to travel this far without properly fulfilling the request and getting the reward for this trouble.

"I'm ready... no, you're not ready, but you're ready to kill your enemies. It's useless to ask."

That's how Axis sees Reurus. Was it Reurus's illusion that his gaze looked sad?

"By the way, Grandpa, you said last night that you couldn't keep up with the opponent's movements except for Reus. You couldn't defend the opponent's attack, but you had to prepare in advance and shoot in magic.

It was Sarah who raised such a question. Fighting the 'Neck Hunter' is not avoided per se, but the Reurus alone would be against it.

"If you can't shoot normally, I think you should keep your eyes peeled."

"Whoa, that's a radical idea. Speaking of reasonableness," neck hunting "is the same magic. If you were me, I'd say...."

That said, Axis moved his gaze slightly. Neddy was ahead of the line of sight.

"... I don't think my home will burn down. Besides, he's got a sharp instinct. If it's a normal trap, you can come to eat it yourself, but if it's dangerous, you can escape safely and hide."

"Hmm... he's like a Reurus who can slay magic!

If Sarah uses all her magic, it is likely that the great forest of Lille will burn, as Axis said. It's so spacious that it won't burn out, but there's absolutely nothing in the world.

(The magic of Sarah burned all the woods, and the monsters who lived there died or escaped... and then the battle between Rapari and Berlido would begin very soon...)

Reurus couldn't deny the idea that came to mind and scratched his cheeks in trouble. Magic support will be difficult because the escaped monster may attack the nearest town or village.

"If I were to slay some magic and prepare some powerful magic, I wouldn't be able to come out... but I guess it's still chaotic, fast and aggressive."

"That's what happens. Even a skilled wizard will almost certainly die if he encounters it at a visible distance. If you shoot magic, you come closer with a knife, and if you're trying to wipe out magic, you'll get your neck cut off before you shoot."

Apparently, it's really hard to cover up with magic. Reurus, who was listening to Axis, wanted to sigh at the irrationality of "neck hunting."

(Let Neddy freeze the ground... so we can get closer. Even if we can't get away with the ice, we could destroy it and get away. Eliza's lightning magic... can't I cut myself?)

Anyway, it's becoming difficult to get support from someone who can approach the battle. I can't say for sure because I haven't actually encountered it, but Axis is really quick to push, and the attack power isn't unusual.

"I know about strength, but what does it look like?

I don't think so, but if "neck hunting" is "changing" and wandering to humans, the reaction may be delayed. Fearing it, Reus asked, and Axis frowned in trouble.

"Well... I can't tell you what it looks like because I'll run away as soon as I get close. But I think you'll soon find out if you run into it."

"Is there anything special about it?

Advanced monsters may be able to judge by their magic, but I appreciate it even if they only know the characteristics. Axis whispered to Reus that thought.

"Keep the hunted neck with you. Stay close and you'll notice the smell of blood."

…………

Reurus suddenly stopped talking. I couldn't find words in the unexpected features.

I don't feel like it's the first time I saw a giant slime. But still.

(... that's what it looks like. If you smell blood, don't die unless you use Calorie Release immediately.)

Reurus felt strongly about "neck hunting", which he hadn't seen before.
