A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 301: Under the Moon Part 1

Didn't you want others to talk to you, or did you feel that way?

Ruvillia said she wanted to talk away from the carriage.

The three people who are currently bedridden are Reurus, Sarah, and Collard. The others were resting in the carriage.

As for monsters and bandits, Sarah is searching for heat, so she'll know soon if you get close. Sarah won't miss a heat source because it's not raining as hard as the Gregorians attacked Keith.

Therefore, there is little danger and it is not impossible to accept Ruvillia's offer. But beyond being wary of monsters and bandits, Reurus was wary of being alone with a noble lady in the middle of the night.

"You can't be here?

"It's not that I can't... but..."

Ruvillia blushes slightly and looks at Collard and Sarah in trouble. Sarah leaned her neck as if she didn't understand anything, but Collard turned to the side.

"Tomorrow we will arrive in the abandoned city of Laval, and it will be our“ last night "... and I will not see anything."

"... is that okay?

"Good or bad... hey"

That's how Collard shows his hands on the carriage. When Reurus turned his gaze at it, he saw an anemone peeking at his face from the gap in the cloth.

However, Anemone pulls her lips and lowers her head silently when Reurus and her eyes meet. Apparently, I have permission from Anemone.

(It's probably not dangerous, and it's true we'll arrive in Laval City tomorrow... I don't know, the smell of this conspiracy)

Half jokes, half serious monologues.

I don't think Ruvillia is going to conspire - I don't want to think so, but the vigilance comes first because he's alert to the nobility itself.

(... well, won't they take it and eat it?)

I don't think Ruvillia suddenly turned into a leopard and attacked me. Reurus, who decided so, told himself that he was the last of his clients.

"You can't go too far. Sarah, I'm on guard."

"Yes, call me if anything happens"

Reus, who spoke to Sarah, carried the Dragon Slasher and walked out of the Station. I haven't recovered half of the magic I consumed in the fight against Neck Hunting, but it would be enough if I didn't fight Neck Hunting again.

Just as I walked out of the "station" while watching the surroundings, Ruvillia followed me on a small run, laughing happily.

"You'll never get a chance to take a walk outside of town this late at night."

"I don't think so. If you're not an adventurer or a soldier... no, you don't walk around late at night, do you?

No matter how full the moon is, it is normal to reveal the night by a light source such as a fire. Even Reurus will never have the opportunity to do something similar in Ruvillia's future life.

"Fufu... I feel like I'm doing something a little bad."

Unlike the Reurus, who walks around watchfully, Ruvillia walks on the full moon night path, enjoying herself from the bottom of her heart.

Reurus thought the steps were light and danced as if they were dancing. Sometimes it spins senselessly and dances like gold threads.

Reurus looked at Ruville like that and leaned his neck small.

"But why all of a sudden? I don't know what you don't want others to hear, but you've talked a lot about your journey, right?

It's been two and a half months since I left the abandoned city of Laval and took Ruvillia on a journey.

At the time of departure, the climate was whether spring would pass and early summer would come, but now August is approaching. Although it has a more pleasant climate than summer in Japan, it is hot enough to sweat by just walking a little during the day.

With Neddy and Sarah, you can take a bath every day and it's pretty easy because you don't have to conserve drinking water, but it would have been a difficult journey for a noble princess.

"Yes, I've talked a lot about it... but Reurus was mannerful until the end, wasn't he?

"Whatever happens, it's usually my client and his escort."

The sound of insects from afar and a slight wind. While listening to them, Reurus and Ruville walk slowly.

"Hmm... that was a shame. I've been able to figure things out with Eliza and Reurus, but I always feel the“ wall. "

Walking ahead, Ruvillia looks back and swells her cheeks small. Reurus unexpectedly broke his face to the technique, which seemed to be younger than his actual age.

"Hahaha, that's right. Don't you agree with Ruvillia, who speaks with respect and respect?

"... in my case, it's a big deal that I don't know how to talk."

It was a serious voice in addition to my thoughts that I returned to Reurus, who spins words like teasing. When Reurus looks at Ruville's face with that voice, he sees a sad look on Ruville's face.

"Dear Reurus... do you remember talking to me the day the Gregorians attacked you?

"Hmm... what was that? If you're dissatisfied, let me know, and... did you enjoy your trip?

I feel like I was talking about it, but I can't remember the details. As for Reurus, the Keith attacks that took place shortly afterwards are more memorable.

"Yes. I'm sorry to say this to Reurus, but... it was a long journey, but it was a lot of fun. It was a really... really, really fun trip."

"... I'm not back in town yet, so please keep that word to yourself."

The final stop of the journey is the abandoned city of Laval, and once there you'll be separated from Ruvillia. Then you will be taken back to the fortress city of Accra, home to the Vicomte de Velg.

"No, if you don't tell me this now, I don't feel like I can ever say it to my face again... well, I'm still shy, right?

"I know... no, if you're really shy, wouldn't you be alone with a man your age at this late hour?

"That's right, but... that's right."

When Reurus asked with his face, Ruvillia shook her hands up and down with her face bright red. As a realuse, I had no intention of putting out a hand, but I had a feeling that it was imprudent.

"If there are others, I need to speak as a human of the Värg family, and it would be better to say that I have the last chance to speak“ personally ”with Reurus... there was a chance to speak more, but with courage..."

In the second half, Ruvillia whispered, but the surroundings were quiet, so he could hear Reurus well. Of course, I wouldn't bother pointing it out.

"Well, even if it's too far from the 'station', it's a problem, and walking around here is a problem."

Reurus turns away from the story for a moment and looks around.

I tried walking down the street called a walk, but if I slightly missed the road, the plains spread out. You can see the forest from afar, but you won't be ambushed because of the view.

You can turn around and return to the Station, but Ruvillia still doesn't seem to have enough to talk about. Reurus, who decided to do so, sat down on the grasslands beside the street while waking up next to the "Dragon Slasher."

"... Reurus?

"You haven't talked enough, have you? I don't have a chair, but I'd like to sit down and talk to you."

Ruvillia's body was completely healed by Axis's hand - but what happens next?

The lady of nobility, who had been rumored to be weak, was healed with the power of Unicorn. I've heard a lot from Natalia about Ruville's future, and I can predict it somewhat.

Therefore, as my client's last self, Reus wanted to listen to Ruvillia.

Ruvillia was puzzled to see a realus sitting on the meadow, but eventually she blew up small and sat down next to the realus.

― ― It was the illusion of Reurus that the distance was a little closer.

For a while, Reurus and Ruville remained silent. There is no point in looking at the gentle wind of the plants and flowers illuminated by the full moon.

"... this trip was really fun."

In doing so, Ruvillia muttered unexpectedly. Reurus looks at Ruvillia sideways, but Ruvillia does not look at Reurus. Just look far and see the plains illuminated by the full moon.

"Walk the streets on your feet, eat food in the fire at night, sleep under the night sky"

Ruvillia's mouth told of the previous baking. However, the words can continue today.

"Cross the border, go to another country, be attacked by Gregorians, meet unicorns and the advanced monsters called 'Neck Hunting'."

The sound of Ruvillia's voice sinks slightly as if it wasn't a pleasant memory on the way. But Ruvillia's face, spinning words, was definitely a smile.

"I've been suffering for five or six years, and my journey is almost over... this kind of experience is absolutely impossible for other noble girls."

It was a Reurus who tried to hammer him, but he listened to Ruvillia without saying anything. Ruvillia fell on her upper body and fell on the meadow. Start stretching out on the spot at the end of the sentence and let out a pleasant voice.

"Ah... look, the moon is beautiful. It's round, big, and really beautiful...."

"I don't think you can do such bad manners..."

At this time, Reurus answers without honoring him. Ruvillia smiled happily and stared at the full moon of the night sky.

"The moon can be seen throughout the city... the fear of nights without lights other than fire, the heartfelt absence of close people other than anemones, the fear of advanced monsters... I'm sure you don't know."

That's what Ruvillia says, but she doesn't have any negative feelings in her voice. Looking up at the full moon, I let go of my mouth.

"The night sky is so beautiful, the pleasure of gradually breaking up with people you barely know, the wonderfulness of people who can defeat terrible monsters... I'm sure... I'll never forget it. I'll never forget it."

So for the first time, Ruvillia turned to Reurus.

"I will never forget that there was someone who protected me and defeated a superior monster to heal my body..."

Because it was a job - that would be a futile answer.

Reurus, who had trouble responding, lay down on the meadow, imitating Ruvillia. Ruvillia was right, the full moon was round and big.

"I was just doing my job... what were you going to say?

"... well, what are you doing?"

Reurus feels like nothing to say to Ruvillia laughing * giggle *. Apparently, I've been spotted on my journey so far.

Do you see a journey of two and a half months as long or short? Reurus, bitterly laughing that he had no choice but to be recognized to some extent, gets away from the talking tip.

"If this is your last chance, just fine."

That's how Reurus took out the pure white Misanga passed from Axis. Reurus woke up and took Ruvillia's right hand and woke him up, quickly wrapping Misanga around his wrist.

"This is a happy celebration... it doesn't taste good. It's a gift."

I was told to give it to Ruvillia, but now it is because I couldn't grasp the timing. With such a bitter laugh, Ruvillia opens her eyes small.

"Misanga... I don't know. Arm decorations woven with unicorn hair, it's sturdy, I feel a little magical, please use it if you like."

Axis gave it to me on purpose. It's not just a decoration. I don't know what it does, but it doesn't seem meaningless.

Ruvillia was stiff with her eyes open to Reurus's actions, but her gaze slowly shifted to pure white Misanga. Then gently touch it with your left hand and stroke it with a gentle hand.

"Ah... yes, thank you..."

Ruvillia's murmuring face was bright red enough to be seen on the moonlight. The skin colour has turned bright red from white to ears, and the Reurus that sees it scratches the cheeks on the skin where it is.

"Um... well... this is not the first time I've received a gift, but this is the first time I've received it in this form... is this the first time I've ever been happy..."

Ruvillia leaks a hoarse and meaningless murmur to you.

As a realuse, I just gave you what Axis told me to give you, and it would be really troublesome to get back to you with such a reaction.

"Even though it's just a stack of thanks... uhh... wait a minute!?

Ruvillia was in a hurry, rolling and distancing herself from Reurus, and began to rub her cheeks to calm her brightly red complexion. Of course, if the color of your face is calmed by that, you won't have any trouble.

"But I wish it had been a little bit later... but if it were tomorrow... you wouldn't think it was because I got a gift..."

Ruvillia whispers, but reaches Reurus' ears well. As a result, Ruvillia, who took a few deep breaths, looked back and stood up and walked towards the awkward Reurus.

However, his face is still bright red.

"Well, I really wanted to talk more, more, more... nh, but... I'm getting to the point... uhh..."

Ruvillia gradually weakens her words. The gaze is wandering violently and moving busily to the right and left.

Still, a few more deep breaths restored some calm.

"Even with me, uh, I don't really know if this is“ yes ”... I don't know, but I'm sure it is."

With that, Ruvillia squeezes the hem of her clothes with both hands. The cherry blossom color stains his face, and his eyes are moist when he sees a revulsion.

There was a girl named Ruvillia, not the second daughter of the Viscount of Velg.

"--I fell in love with you."
