A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Seriously... no, are you crazy?

The next morning, Anemone was the first to react to Reurus with a "suggestion” in his mouth, looking at his sanity in a suspicious way.

Ever since we drove him out of the raid last night, the "Head Hunt" hasn't shown up. But Sarah says there's a source of heat that just can't be seen and doesn't move about 300 meters away.

"Unfortunately, I didn't mean to lose my mind. I don't think there's anything else I can do about watching the" neck hunt "last night."

"But.... I don't want to tease Ruvillia-sama...."

An anemone with Reurus's suggestion as a word, but there was a color of confusion in its expression.

Reurus' proposal is extremely simple, and he thinks that the "neck hunter" is obsessed with luring Ruvillia into a fight, and Reurus defeats it.

The Neck Hunt was obsessed with Ruvillia, and the assumption was that Reurus could beat the Neck Hunt, but I couldn't think of any other way.

I don't think so, but if the obsession with Ruvillia diminishes and the "neck hunt" escapes, the capture will be near impossible. Sarah has a wide range of heat sources to detect, but if the "neck hunt" moves at a speed, it should take less than a few minutes to disengage.

"If 'Neck Hunting' is obsessed with Ruvillia, I think it's quickest to lure her into it... Grandpa, just so you know, can 'change' make her look like Ruvillia? By the way, if I could get a scary look on my face, I'd get caught."

Axis asked Reurus and the others to kill the "neck hunt", but if the "change" could transform Ruvillia, I wanted help as much as possible. That's what Reurus asks, but Axis shakes his head sideways.

"I'm not saying I can't, but you'll find out. You seem to have a sharp instinct."

"If it's still possible... no, that's right. If Axis finds out, why don't you come near me again?"

Anemone took on the magic of "change" that Reus had spoken of, but lost momentum thinking about when he failed.

From Anemone's point of view, the Neck Hunt is obsessed with Ruvillia. However, if Axis realizes that the “running counterpart” was "changing", wouldn't his safety take precedence over obsession?

"If you stay like this, you'll be impoverished... but you'll lose your strength and energy, right? Then I think we should start a match in the meantime."

With that in mind, Reurus turned to Ruvillia, who was not part of the conversation.

Even after the "neck hunt" ran away, she couldn't sleep with fear. She looked exhausted and blinked her eyes as if she was sleeping. If the Neck Hunt comes again tonight, I don't know if Ruvillia's spirit is there.

I don't think Axis is going to force a "head hunt". But never in the world.

Speaking of which, if the whole night goes on, Reurus is just as tired. Even if you take a nap during the day, fatigue will gradually accumulate. Fatigue accumulates reliably because you can't fall asleep without knowing when the "neck hunt" will strike.

"And then, if you think of Ruvillia's" life ”, you can give up your grandfather's request....."

Reurus lost sight of Ruvillia and saw the great forest of Lille. I can't see because the trees are blocking my sight, but there will be a 'neck hunt' there.

"Even if I give up Ruvillia's treatment and leave, there is a possibility that" neck hunting "will follow. In that case, we don't know if we're going to make it to the nearest town, and even if we're okay, we could take it to where people live."

You don't have to imagine what happens when a "neck hunt" appears in people.

"But now that I've come this far....."

Anemone raised her eyebrows. I can understand what Reurus is trying to say, but there is no point in taking the risk of a long journey. But when it comes to putting Ruville in danger, the answer is poor.

As Axis affirmed, Reurus is the most likely winner of the 'Neck Hunt' on this spot. That is where Anemone admits it, and I think that if Reurus fights "neck hunting" in a place with good visibility and scaffolding during the day, there will be enough chance.

However, if the Reurus is asked if he can “definitely” win, the answer is no. It is only likely that the Reurus will be defeated.

Anemone saw "neck hunting" fight twice, but unfortunately he saw no chance of winning. Even if you throw yourself away and aim for a match, it won't come true.

The difference in speed, the difference in weapons is too great. I haven't tried it, but with the help of Eliza, Sarah, and Neddy, even if they try to wipe it out from a distance, they'll get away in advance. Attract and shoot to a certain extent, but die in between.

Seeing the conflicting anemone expression, Reurus smiled and shook his shoulders.

"Well, I'm not sure about this either. Last night, I had the feeling that I had just slashed him, so if I were with Ruvillia, I might not stop by."

As a realuse, it is more likely to win during the day than during the night. You can run into the big forest of Lille in the middle of battle, or chase him in the daytime. In that case, it will be disadvantageous, but I will not hesitate to step in if I think it can be dealt with.

Eliza and the others say nothing to Reurus, who speaks with Anemone. Eliza and Meer seem a little anxious, but Sarah and Neddy are not unusual. Do you believe Reurus will win, or do you think he's not the one to learn fear?

Well then, I'm going to propose an amendment. Her Majesty will escort Ruvillia, as she will not change when Ruvillia falls in love and Reurus fights the 'Head Hunt'. Would that ease Lord Ruvillia's anxiety and reduce the danger?

The last person on the scene, Collard, puts his hand on his chin and suggests. It was a plan that focused on Ruvillia's safety.

"... wouldn't it be more likely that" neck hunting "wouldn't stop by if Mr. Anemone followed me?

Eliza questions Collard's suggestion. Rather than fear of "neck hunting", the expression contained a color of anxiety about the current situation where Reurus was about to fight "neck hunting" one-on-one.

"That's it then. Do you want me to go to Reurus and slay him?

"If I could do that, I wouldn't have to struggle...."

"... yeah"

Sarah spins the words with a mix of phonetic sounds, but Meer and Neddy have a bite to eat.

And as she said, "No, no, no, no.", Ruvillia, who had been silent until then, opened her mouth. However, the words didn't come out immediately, and he took a few deep breaths before staring at the revus.

"..." That's the most likely thing, isn't it?

"... I can't say for sure."

Reurus answered Ruvillia briefly, asking him with fear and fatigue.

If Ruvillia doesn't give up, if she fights' head hunting '. I don't want to spend any more time, but I want to put a piece on it today.

Now, the Reurus is still in perfect shape. The recent “pickup” here is also rich in magic, and I don't remember tiredness and drowsiness.

If the number of days continues to increase, the chances of winning gradually diminish. That's all I'm sure of.

If raided at night like last night, it drains magic from its response. In the current situation, I don't think I have time to breathe in and hunt monsters to replenish my magic. Therefore, it is better to make a decision sooner.

But as a revulsion, I can't force my client to do it. If you lose your mind, you're about to fall down, and if you're looking at Ruvillia, who is shaking his whole body rather than his feet, you can't help but make a decision.

Still Reurus stared Ruvillia in the eye. I'm trembling, but I feel strange strength in my eyes.

There is fear, but there is no yield. Rin's eyes are full of conviction.

The feeling of Reurus scratched his head to disperse the air until then.

"Ah... well, what..."

Then, if the tone breaks down, he lightly slaps the Dragon Slash on his back in an attempt to reassure Ruvillia.

"It's up to you, princess. As usual with monsters...."

I wish I could be confident that I would win, but Reurus is not so proud. That's why I talked as much as I could.

"... if you're going to risk your life, I'm going to risk mine."

Whether it's an advanced monster or an “enemy”, I'll kill it. It's too late to risk your life, and you don't have to be prepared.

All we need is Luviria's cooperation.

…………

Hearing the words of Reurus, Ruvillia opened her eyes small. And after a few seconds of silence, she smiles softly.

"Ruvillia-Vis-secre-de-Verg… No, just Ruvillia, please. Will you help me?

Leave it to me.

Short answer, Reurus walked out.

Reurus and Anemone, far from Elizabeth, and Ruvillia walk along the great forest of Lille.

As Collard suggested, Anemone is Ruvillia's escort. If Reurus is defeated in the Head Hunt, Eliza and the others will be on the run while they buy time.

― ― It is unlikely that we will be able to compete against "neck hunting" when Reurus is defeated.

(A princess who can't fight back without the direct support of her companions... for the first time.)

Reus holds the "Dragon Slash" removed from his sheath in his right hand and walks consciously toward the large forest of Lille.

Now, if the Neck Hunt doesn't move, we're done. You will need to dive into Lille's woods and confront the 'head hunt'.

I wonder how Annemone will work with me.

Reurus, the opponent has moved! They're on their way!

"I see... I see. Thank you very much."

Sarah received a 'Call of Thought' to override the fear of such a revulsion.

Since it's already more than 500 meters away from Eliza and the others, we don't want any backup during the ”if.” Travelling along the large, circular forest of Lille, the trees are out of the way and do not pass through.

Reurus stops and turns to the great forest of Lille with Ruvillia hidden behind his back. And when I set up the "Dragon Slash", my eyes closed.

Kiki Kiki......

The stench drifting in the wind and a small scream. It's nearly a hundred meters away from the big forest of Lille so you can't escape right away, but there's nothing to worry about, and the "neck hunt" shows up.

As far as I can see, I don't see any wounds from Reurus last night. Is it shallow and inhibited by fur or has it healed overnight?

(... well, it doesn't matter.)

Murmur in your heart and put your strength into the hand holding the "Dragon Slash".

Whether you're injured or not, there's nothing you can do about it.

"Kiki... Kaka Kaka Kaka Kaka Kaka!

You felt Reurus' war, and the 'Neck Hunting' barked. At the same time, he kicks the ground and runs away.

"Ooooooooooooo!"

In response, Reurus roared and ran out using "Caloric Release."
