A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Gregorians, unicorns, advanced monsters, 'neck hunting', hey... I was expecting some commotion, but why do you always say 'yes'?

"Axis's grandfather still thinks I'm not the cause of his servants, Gregorians, or the 'head hunt'."

Reurus replies to Natalia's stupid words with his face that it is worse to attack him.

Located in the Adventurers Association of the Waste City of Laval.

The time was the day after Reurus and the others returned to the abandoned city of Laval - before noon.

Last night, Natalia told me that it would be good if the Reus returned to the abandoned city of Laval because the sun was already setting and the Reus were tired of traveling.

As a result, Reurus rolled out to Dominic's restaurant as declared, bringing in the customers who were in the shop to develop into a chaos.

They gave Dominic spices, herbs, sugar, and more that they bought during their journey, and enjoyed Dominic's cuisine to their heart's content.

Although he had left Laval Waste City for two and a half months, no one had forgotten the Reuses, and not only the people who were originally in the store, but also the neighboring residents gathered to drink and sing and make a fuss.

Reurus, satisfied that he had returned to his “hometown" in a chaotic time, returned home with Eliza for the first time in a long time and slept slowly.

For the record, the corona souvenir of this trip is a silk fabric. They gave Mataroi fabrics in shades unusual to them, with a sense of other countries.

Because corona is not only good at cooking, but also at handicrafts, Reus thought that he would see cute personal clothes made by corona after a while.

With that overnight revelation, Reurus left it up to Eliza and the others to organize her luggage and greet her acquaintance, bringing her alone to the Adventurers' Association. And when I reported on this trip, Natalia gave me an amazing response.

"But you're back safely... well done, Reurus"

"Even though I was safe, I almost lost my neck. If it weren't for my grandfather, I'd be dead."

"You're still alive, so be nice."

As Reurus stroked his neck, Natalia smiled bitterly.

Natalia was surprised to hear a series of reports, relieved that Reurus and the others were safe, and finally smiled gently. As for Natalia, I'm glad my fellow citizens are safe.

"Now that you've made your request... oh, I don't mind if I put the extra money in my pocket for the trip. Don't worry, I'm not going to take any taxes on this one."

"Thank you very much. It was worth the trouble."

When Reurus smiles at Natalia's words, Natalia places the reward she had prepared at the reception desk. Although it is covered with cloth, it is a cloth wrapper that is large enough that Reurus has to grasp it with both hands.

"Besides, this is the reward for this request.“ There's a lot of colors, so check it out. "

"Various?"

It was a reuse to unwrap the cloth while tilting the neck, but I checked the contents and pulled the cheeks.

The amount of the reward Reurus had heard was thirty large gold coins. However, the number of large gold coins in the cloth wrapper increased by 50%.

Combined with the extra money for the trip, 50 large gold coins - about 50 million yen in Japanese yen - will be available.

(Thinking about a two-and-a-half month job... no, wait, is it reasonable to think you're dying?

I'm not so obsessed with money, but it's only natural that it's better than nothing. However, when I was in Shenna Village, the difference was large enough to make me feel dizzy compared to today.

(The sense of money seems crazy... there are houses, and the food is just for hunting monsters or eating at Ooi-san's place, and there's no use for money...)

Eliza and Sarah, and Meer and Neddy were equally divided into ten large gold coins. There was also a problem in the abandoned city of Laval that even with so much money, it was useless.

(I'll give Calvin's grandmother the materials for the "neck hunt" and have him make something... but if I take the unusual materials with me, I'll be out of business.)

Behind Reurus' head was Calvin, who, as Meer's father, had the best blacksmithing skills known to Reurus.

I liked blacksmithing more than three times rice, and it was a blemish in the balls that changed the color of my eyes if there were unusual materials. Especially this time, Reurus acquired the materials of the "neck hunt", an advanced monster. What Calvin would react to was more obvious than seeing fire.

Instead, they ask you to give me enough blacksmithing to pay for it, or they come in silently and rob me of the material. Reurus looks forward to the future a little further.

"I was wondering what happened... but I did receive the reward. This is the end of the deal."

This is a Reurus that has slightly escaped reality, but I can't help but receive a reward. I gaze at Natalia, but I don't know if I can step in.

"Yes. The rest is my... job as administrator of this town."

Reurus retreats cleanly to Natalia, who passed away her gaze.

There are many good things in the world not to touch.

With Reurus receiving his reward, "this request” comes to a complete end.

"So? How was your trip with the noble princess?

That's why Natalia asked me to make fun of you. Still, the seriousness in his eyes makes Reurus shrug his shoulders.

"I was a child with more guts than I thought, and the journey itself wasn't so hard..."

Ruvillia, who was reluctant at first, and Anemone, who was rather pungent than having a wall, eventually managed to figure it out.

Of course, as a client and his escort, even though he was able to solve the problem.

"Hmm...."

But Natalia stared into Reurus's eyes at what caught her. Then you can gaze from top to bottom and murmur.

"... did you hug me?

Hey.

Reurus answers the confusing topic of sudden sexual harassment with his face.

"No matter what you think, it's only to the detriment of this town to reach out to the noble princess, right?

Reurus speaks out loudly, but Ruvillia's face comes to his mind.

A girl (Ruvillia) who has confessed under the full moon. Looking back at that doesn't mean there's nothing to think about.

If the boyfriend's position and environment were different - a future that might have been possible if the situation had been different.

While acknowledging its existence, as an adventurer in the abandoned city of Laval, Reurus was cut off and discarded.

"It's up to you whether or not it's disadvantageous. But... that's right."

"Would you stop nodding there?

On several occasions, Natalia nodded, and Reurus put in a comic strip as if she didn't think it would happen.

He confessed, but there was nothing between him and Ruvillia. I can assure you...

"I don't have to hug you, but something happened... that's how I can read your face?

"I'm scared, Mister..."

I'm not confident in my poker face, but I don't think I can tell just by looking at my face that something happened with Ruvillia.

At least Eliza and the others didn't say anything. Even after the moonlight, when Ruvillia confessed, he would have dressed up as usual.

"You won't notice the opposite because Eliza's girls have been together for so long... but I haven't seen each other for over two months? I thought something happened at first glance."

"Are you serious, Sebastian..."

In front of Natalia's observation eyes, Reurus fights. I thought Ruvillia was a big deal, but compared to Natalia, it seemed like there was a difference between adults and children.

"But... well, what... nothing happened?"

Although Natalia was the opponent, it was difficult to talk about “that night”. So when Reurus answers with a bitter smile, Natalia stares at her eyes for a few seconds and then sighs.

"Yes... that's fine."

With the pursuit of the spear, Natalia detaches herself from Reurus. While laughing at each other, there was an atmosphere of exploration.

Still, Natalia relaxes the air and returns to "business as usual.”

"There shouldn't be anything for the time being, so first rest slowly. If I can spare you, I'd like you to hunt the monsters around town...."

"I'll work on that from now on. I haven't been able to replenish the magic I've exhausted in the battle against Neck Hunting."

"Really? Reports from other kids don't seem to bring back that many monsters, so don't push them.

Reurus laughs and nods at Natalia's words, leaving the Adventurers' Union behind.

"The reward will be split in half with Eliza and the others... I wonder what it will be used for."

Though it was a luxurious affliction, Reurus murmured.

After Reurus left.

Natalia was thinking quietly at the Adventurers' Union reception alone.

(Now the conditions are satisfied. It was unexpected to defeat even advanced monsters, but it's not bad to “foil" Reurus's name.)

Natalia murmurs with her right hand as she turns the pipe she usually carries.

(Still... I don't know if it's Viscount Werg or his eldest son, but it's something I do a lot with my family.)

Natalia, who received a report from Reurus, had some concerns.

One of them was attacked by a Gregorian, and the problem was to deal with it after the captivity.

(You missed it because it would be in our interest...) She seemed to know she was being targeted and that her family had used it.)

There appears to be some hidden information behind Reurus' request. Natalia smiles thinly as she ties it together one by one.

(I don't know if it was "neck hunting" that wasn't supposed to happen... well, how far was it on my palm...)

The “unexpected” has been dealt with by Reurus alone. What it brings is by no means small.

"... independence?"

Dreams are approaching.

While feeling it, Natalia's expression didn't smile.

The conditions are finally in place, but I'm still not ready for scaffolding. If you think about the future, you can't let go or let go.

Still, it is true that my dream is about to appear in front of me with shape.

"From now on... from now on"

Natalia laughs as she lifts the edge of her mouth to bite off her delight.

Trouble negotiating is like a mountain, but if you clean it up one by one, you'll eventually get to your dreams.

Natalia smiled thinly at the future of herself - and the abandoned city of Laval.
