A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 290: The Neck Hunt Part 5

"... what's he doing?

Reus noticed the "neck hunting" as he stood in the shade of the big forest of Lille, and murmured as if confused.

As soon as I walked out to look for it, I found it. You'll be confused, even if it's not a revulsion.

"Grandpa, he's looking at us...."

Reurus stopped walking and turned back, calling out to Axis while keeping an eye on the "neck hunt."

"Hmm... this is an unprecedented act. What kind of mood changes did you see while you were watching us?

Axis also leaned his neck because he couldn't understand the "neck hunting" behavior.

The distance between the Neck Hunter and the Reurus is about a hundred meters. It won't work, but it's a long way to reach if you want to use magic.

Of course, if we let Sarah use all her magic to prevent her from slashing even in the "Head Hunt", it would be effective. But he's got to get out before he shoots.

Even if the Reurus were to go, the distance of a hundred meters would be a bit far. Even if you use Caloric Release for three seconds, it will take twice as long as Eliza and Sarah's "contract" is strengthened. "Head hunting" will make it easier to escape.

"I can't observe... is there anything that bothers you?

"Well... I don't think I have the intelligence to wage a protracted war."

Reurus and Axis wondered, but checked the state of the "neck hunt". The "Neck Hunt" has no sign of escape, even though Reurus and Axis are looking at it.

"How many seconds does it take Grandpa to make it?

"I'm no different from you. And if the pigeon tries to move, he'll run away."

Reurus exchanges words with Axis with moderate weakness to escape the Dragon Slash at any time.

The fastest ally is Reurus. Though slightly faster than such a revulsion, it took about two seconds for the "neck hunt" to attack. I can't afford to relax.

"I appreciate you showing up from over there, but I'm not happy about the situation."

Bye. Regardless of you and Eliza's daughters, Ruvillia's daughters will have it. "

It was an Axis that naturally omitted Collard, but Reurus couldn't get in because it was now. There was also confidence that Collard would not be exhausted sooner.

"... Reurus, what are you going to do?

As Reurus turned to the "neck hunt," Eliza called out, feeling a little anxious. Reurus looked at Eliza with his gaze removed from the neck hunt, but there was no sign that the neck hunt was moving.

"Well, what's the matter... why don't we approach the critical distance from where they won't escape and use 'Caloric Release' to chase them?

If it's too far away, you can narrow it down from here. Reurus thought so, but Eliza frowned.

"Maybe they'll run into the woods... but isn't it hard to fight?

"That's it... it's going to be tough to fight in the woods."

Fight in the woods against the 'Head Hunter' - it will turn even dangerous battles into more dangerous ones.

"I see... why don't we move to the flat side and wait for them to approach us from over there?

"I don't know if they're going to move, but they'll be in the woods when they run away... and they're in trouble."

Eliza's idea was to prepare for an intercept away from Lille's forest, but she doesn't know if they're coming. If they change their minds and escape, it will be more difficult to capture them from the Reurus.

"Really....."

Eliza glanced distantly at the visible "neck hunt" and grabbed the hem of Reurus' clothes anxiously. Then Axis, whose mouth was closed, leaned his neck strangely.

"By the way, lady, why are you changing your tone? My lord, you've spoken in a way similar to a pigeon.

Rather than being similar, they are almost identical, including first-person names. But Eliza is back in tone with Axis nearby. I don't like the tone of Axis much.

"Whose fault do you think it is?

"Hyah!? Why are you trying to kill me there? If you get angry, you'll ruin the cuteness.

"Think for yourself! Ha ha!"

The scratches and footsteps were rough, and Eliza was moving away. Eliza's reaction was tantrumatic, but Reurus knows the “circumstances” and can only laugh bitterly.

"I'm not saying that my grandfather is bad... no, I'm saying that my grandfather is really bad, but don't worry about it."

"On the contrary, I'm curious... if you're angry and energetic, she's fine."

Reurus admires Axis slightly in his heart.

(Did you catch Eliza scared and piss her off? I thought it was just an erotic grandfather, but I only live for a long time, and I might soon know the sensitivities around it.)

Reurus wondered if he dared make Eliza angry.

"But that girl...."

So, surprisingly, Axis had a serious look on his face. Reurus thought something was going on and tightened his expression.

"If I were taller and my chest and buttocks were growing up, I'd like to be a pimp... but that's a pity. Expectations after a few years? No, wait. If you keep rubbing and growing..."

(... I guess it's my fault.)

Even though I knew it would be avoided, it was a revulsion with a fist in the axis that stretched under my nose.

And that night.

Like last night, Reurus, who set multiple fires to secure his vision, sharpened his nerves so that "neck hunting" could attack him whenever he wanted.

In the end, it didn't move during the day, and when Reurus approached to try something, the "neck hunt" ran away instantly. Apparently, not only Axis, but also Reurus is on alert.

Axis deliberately walked away from the Reurus, but there was no sign that the Neck Hunt was moving.

"Now... do you want to move?"

From the beginning, Reurus pulled out the "Dragon Slash" and murmured with his right hand gripped.

Unlike last night, Sarah is awake to be alert immediately when the "neck hunt" moves. Collard and Anemone also formed a formation to surround the carriage so that they could deal with "neck hunting" from any direction.

Sarah is on the roof of a carriage so that she can shoot magic as a cover in case of an attack as well as a search. Neddy also appeared next door as a backup.

In the carriage are Eliza and Meer, and Ruvillia. I don't think so, but I told Ruvillia to escort Eliza and Meer to bed.

There's no sign of Axis here. He didn't move during the day, but at night, he thought the "neck hunt" might approach, so he took a distance from the Reurus.

(If my grandfather and I split up and intercept those rabbits... no, in the meantime, Eliza and the others will be targeted)

When the speed of the "neck hunt" was too annoying, Reurus sighed inside. Whatever action you take, it's almost impossible to hunt you down if you run away.

"... ah, it's moving. But we're slowly approaching."

Sarah's confused voice sounded like Reurus was thinking too much to keep her nervous. Apparently, "Neck Hunting" is slowly getting closer and closer than a raid.

"What's the direction?

"Collard... yeah, I'm moving towards Anemone. Are you approaching while you're circling?

Having heard Sarah's words, Reus turned his attention to the "neck hunting" that lurked in the darkness. They are moving clockwise around the carriage and approaching.

(Sarah is out of the box, but the question is when will it attack...)

While you can always use 'Caloric Release', Reurus concentrates his mind. If you get close enough, you can attack yourself.

Under the reel of thinking so, the stench of the wind arrives. Depending on the direction of the wind, it smelled even during the day, but when my vision was restricted, I felt the smell was too strong.

"Kiki... Kiki..."

Next, the voice of "neck hunting" sounds like something that makes you feel happy. It also seems to be laughing at the vigilant Reurus, who can focus on the hand holding the Dragon Slash.

(Are the lines of psychological warfare... thin? Are you waiting for me to get tired, or do you have another purpose...)

The behavior of the "neck hunting" was not understandable, and Reurus frowned slightly. In the present situation, where we have to turn to “receiving”, mental fatigue becomes even bigger.

Running away in a hurry, or being forced to break through with speed. Still, I don't think things will get any better if I keep waiting.

"Kiki... key... key... ah..."

It was a "neck hunt" that came close enough for Reurus to feel the magic, but the movement stopped. Then he makes a voice to check the condition of his throat.

"--Fired, Cree."

Then came the word that could be understood by Reurus.

(... did you speak?)

At this time, Reurus felt surprised at the fact that the "neck hunter" spoke more than the content of the words. In a word, he seemed intelligent enough to speak words.

--Because the contents are too noisy, there is no hesitation to fight even as a revulsion.

"... hihi"

The Reurus, who were alert to the "neck hunt", were not scared by surprise. Except for Ruvillia, who is waiting in the carriage.

A short scream was heard from the carriage - the joy seeped into the voice of "neck hunting".

"Kiki... fired! Fired, Hoshii!

Reacting to Ruvillia's voice, the "neck hunt" became louder. Did you hear that voice? The carriage kept screaming like Ruvillia pushed him to death.

(Are you obsessed with Ruvillia...? How to do that.....)

The magic of "neck hunting" lets you know where to find it. From the point of deliberately speaking up, there will be no mistake. However, Reurus did not move and wondered what "neck hunting" meant.

Fired! Fired! Fired, fired, fired, fired!

The voice of "neck hunting" was so funny that I clapped my hands and was delighted. There is still a dark bleed of delightful color.

(Does he... scare Ruvillia? What's there to scare me... hmm?

Reurus, who had doubts about the "neck hunting" reaction, leaned his neck with his heart alone.

During last night's raid, the only among the Reurus was Ruvillia who had a clear look of fear for the "neck hunt".

Eliza was suspicious, but she had enough experience to swallow fear compared to Ruville.

What "neck hunting" is looking for is clear from the words that have been screaming repeatedly for a while. I don't know what makes you so obsessed, but it seems like you want a neck with the name "neck hunting".

Reurus remembers the appearance of "Neck Hunting." At the same time, trace your thoughts on what you would think if you were a "neck hunter".

It was a “neck ring” with bad taste, but the monster's head, anyway, looked similar to the human head. Everyone was stunned with their eyes wide open.

--Maybe you want something that has changed into a collection?

Then I could understand that I was interested in Ruvillia, who had intense feelings of fear.

If only Ruvillia among the Reurus had a difference, that would be it. You may have realized that Ruvillia is a noble daughter, but you don't know anything about human society.

So, if Ruvillia's fear was the trigger,

"Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Instantly, using Calorie Release, Reurus bursts into Neck Hunting like a surprise.

I thought it was incompatible and had to be defeated, but suppose the "neck hunting" behavioral philosophy was as expected.

― ― Reurus thought from the bottom of his heart that he had to kill “as a human being” without the profit and loss account.

Kiki!?

The leopard suddenly attacked Reurus, and it seems that the "Head Hunt" was also poked in vain. Still, it jumps backwards instantly and takes a distance from the revulsion.

However, Reurus did not mind the "Dragon Slash". I couldn't reach the slash, but the magic blade was close enough.

Giggle!?

Slight response. Reurus, who felt it, tried to set up a chase immediately, but the "neck hunt" was one step faster.

The magic of "neck hunting" rapidly fades away so that it can be disputed in the dark. Reurus wondered if Sarah should navigate after him, but the "Head Hunt" escaped in the direction of Lille's large forest.

For this reason, Reus eliminated one tongue slash and put the "Dragon Slash" into the sheath.

"If you're really obsessed with Ruvillia... do you need to risk your life?"

Looking at the direction where the "Neck Hunter" had escaped, Reurus murmured.
