A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"...... nh?

Unexpected awakening of consciousness. Reurus slowly opened his eyes with a sleepy voice.

The first thing in sight was a cloth-covered ceiling. The metal frame was covered with rainproof cloth, and most of the sun's light was blocked.

Reurus was asleep in a wagon that he had used on his journey, and his back felt like a covered straw. The weather isn't as cold as anything else in the duvet, and Reurus awakens his head by repeating the blinking.

…………

Yes, why were you sleeping in such a place? When Reurus remembered the question, he heard a sleeping sound from both sides.

"... hmm?

Turning to the sound, Eliza appeared on the right and Sarah appeared on the left. They both slept deeply, and continued to sleep without reacting to the voices of Reurus.

(What is this situation... and why is Eliza and Sarah sleeping together in the carriage...)

I can't remember immediately what I was doing before I went to bed.

Even if the life of a serf turns into an adventurer's family business, getting up early is not bitter, and the body should be “used to it” so that anything happens immediately.

With that in mind, Reurus wakes up. I feel like I was doing something terrible before I went to bed.

"... ah"

Before falling asleep - recalling exactly what he was doing before he lost consciousness, Reurus leaked a lost voice.

Then he panicked down and touched his right neck with his right hand.

All armor has been removed and neither Dragon Slasher nor Dagger is worn. The neck that was supposed to have been chopped off by the "neck hunt" was blocked as if nothing had happened, and scabs did not even exist.

The cheeks that were cut when I knocked my head into "neck hunting" are also blocked, and the left foot that was crushed and broken when I kicked it off moves without pain. I tried to open and close my hands, but my reaction was not dull.

(Alive... right? I can't help but feel less magic, it doesn't hurt anywhere in my body and moves properly....)

I remember exactly where I defeated "Neck Hunting," but I don't remember where I left off. As for the “feeling” of Reurus, who had died once in his previous life, I thought the wounds he sustained in the battle for "neck hunting" were fatal.

When you are confirming your condition by tapping your body without meaning, you will hear a voice that surprises you when you hear it outside the carriage.

"Reurus!?

"... did it happen?

It was Meer and Neddy who peeked at each other at the same time. When he jumps on the carriage in a hurry, Reurus doesn't have time to speak up.

"Doesn't it hurt anywhere? Are you conscious?

"... I'm glad."

It was a realuse that took in Meer and Neddy, but Meer looked worried and checked her condition, and Neddy sounded relieved.

Unfortunately, Reus turned his gaze downwards.

"I'm sorry I worried... but could you both get out of there? Eliza and Sarah...."

Behind Reurus' gaze is Eliza and Sarah, who were laid down as Meer and Neddy jumped in.

"What the hell...?"

"Ngu... who's on my stomach...?"

Whether she woke up with a voice or suffered from being crushed, Eliza and Sarah opened their eyes with a dissatisfied voice.

They look around with zero yawns - Reurus and gaze collide.

"... Reurus!

"Wow, you're up!

And when he caught up with agility that didn't seem to wake him up, Reurus zeroed out a smile that could neither smile nor bitter smile.

"I've been sleeping all day..."

She cried and shouted and was happy. Reurus, who somehow forgave Eliza and the others who showed different reactions, sighed while checking the status quo.

It's been a day since I fought the "neck hunt," and I've been asleep without ever waking up.

"Oh, really... I'm worried..."

It is Meer who snuggles up while saying so. Tears from both eyes peeled off, wiped with both hands, but there was no sign of stopping.

From what I've heard, it appears that immediately after Reurus defeated The Neck Hunt, Anemone jumped into Meer and the others.

He couldn't move Reurus because his wounds were too deep, so he called Axis for medical attention.

When I hurried there was a realuse that fell down with the corpse of the "neck hunter" cut off from his shoulder. It seems that Axis, who confirmed it, immediately started treatment and died.

That's exactly what I've earned my whole life. If Unicorn's Axis hadn't been nearby, he would have lost his life.

"I see... who was Eliza and Sarah sleeping with?

But that's why Eliza and Sarah were sleeping next to each other. When Reurus asks, Neddy answers, not Meer, who snuggles up.

"They both fell..."

"So, you fell down... are you all right?

Reurus laughs hard at Neddy who answers with his face, but his gaze at Eliza and Sarah is serious. When she asked what had happened, Eliza and Sarah raised their faces as they held Reurus.

"It's okay... I'm just suddenly relaxing from my body while I'm waiting for my revulsion treatment..."

"I wonder, did you take your health with your magic? I was feeling like this, but if I noticed, I'd be glad."

While Eliza raised her eyebrows, Sarah spoke in a blank tone. When he heard that, Reurus stroked his memory and lost his sight.

"Ah... maybe it's my fault. I have a suspicious memory because I was dying, but I feel like I“ pulled ”something... sorry."

Changes that occurred when you manipulated 'Caloric Release'. Recalling that feeling, Reurus apologized.

Perhaps Elizabeth and Sarah lost their power and magic through the "Contract."

"It's okay, it's okay! My body feels a little weak and there's no pain!

"Yes! Reurus was tougher, so don't worry about it!

Reurus lowered his head and raised his voice as Eliza and Sarah were in a hurry. While thanking him for that, Reurus sighed at the fact that he had been beaten in the last place.

"... yes, I remember. Where's Grandpa?

"Hmm? Can I help you?

When Reus looks for Axis, he peeks into his face. The atmosphere was as calm as ever, but it was Reurus's illusion that his eyes looked serious somewhere.

"Thank you for treating me... that rabbit, the attack we didn't hear about beforehand... no, defense? I had it."

"You're welcome, I wonder. Besides, the" neck hunting "thing was unexpected...."

First of all, Reurus thanked me for treating him, but I wanted to protest about the way Axis had not told me about the fight - the separation that also creates a crack in space.

Even if monsters can't help acting unexpectedly, it's just as unexpected. It was a revulsion that I was trying to hit as long as I could without saying one shot, but he treated me where I was dying, so I just kept it for confirmation.

"This is the first time that Neck Hunting has used such magic... you're also confused. The healing of your lord is not a substitute for defeating such" neck hunting "and nuisance fees."

Apparently, even if he was dying, he wasn't willing to cure him. I challenged the "neck hunt" to heal Ruvillia, and it seemed that whatever wounds I sustained in the battle would be my responsibility to take care of Reurus.

(In other words, it was dangerous enough to break that premise.....)

At the end, I could have knocked it off, but if I hadn't noticed the rupture of the space, I would have been dead by then.

I still wonder if I really didn't know, but I have no idea what it means to dare to lie down. Because of this, Reurus was so deep, he just breathed out and switched, gently tearing off Eliza and the others that were still holding him.

"I have a lot to say... but I had to check this first. Grandpa's request was accomplished... so there's no mistake, right?

On the day when they say, "After all," not only Reurus but also Anemone will be attacked with every effort.

"Hmm. I swear by my name and my soul."

However, Axis nodded loudly at the fear of such a revulsion. The expression and tone of voice were as serious as the usual behavior of Grandpa Suhei.

It is a face with majesty and penetration that seems to have lived for more than a thousand years.

"Well done on defeating Neck Hunting. As promised, let's heal her body."

Seriously, it was a tone where I couldn't feel a single lie or joke. Having heard that word, Reurus exhaled relief without saying that his shoulder had fallen.

"That's great... so where did Ruvillia go to get the treatment?

I should have defeated the 'Neck Hunt' without hurting one wound, but I can't see Ruvillia or Anemone.

"I'm going to pick up firewood with the maid. The owners didn't wake up, and your girls didn't try to get away from the carriage."

That said, Reurus turned his gaze and finally stopped crying. Mea was distracted while her face turned bright red. Did you imitate such a Meer? Neddy is also distracted with his face.

"What about Mr. Collard?

I don't know a man.

As for Collard, Axis spits poison, but given his character and position, he is probably Ruvillia's escort.

It was a realuse that made such a guess, but there are signs coming from afar to support it.

"... Oops! You're awake!

He wondered if there was anyone around the carriage, and Collard peered into his face with suspicion. And he raised his voice with surprise and joy in half.

"Hmm!?

Then I heard a breathtaking voice. And then firewood hits the ground, and you hear scattered sounds.

"--Reurus!

It was Ruvillia who showed up to push Collard and Axis.

When Reurus raised his hand slightly, his anxious expression instantly sprayed, showing a mix of surprise and joy.

With Ruvillia jumping in the carriage at a speed that made her want to ask where she was so agile, Reurus slightly wanted to escape reality.

The reason I wanted to escape from reality was simple, because the tears began to buildup in Ruvillia's eyes when I saw Reurus's face. In addition, she embraced me just like Eliza and the others.

When Reurus turned his eyes to see if he was okay as a nobleman, Annemone and Collard turned their backs and said they had not seen anything.

Still, I couldn't throw away Ruvillia, who was holding her in tears, and without such vigor, the revulsion was still being carried away.

(Ah... I'm hungry... I wonder if you've taken the meat from the "neck hunt" properly...)

If you are distracted from Ruvillia, hunger insists on existence.

But feeling hungry means you're alive.

Chewing on the joy, Reurus slapped Ruvillia in the back with a soft slap.
