A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

When the Reurus returned to the abandoned city of Laval.

There was a group of visitors to Axis in the large forest of Lille, which had recovered from the disturbances caused by the "neck hunt".

One had a white kimono, a scarlet dress, and a footbag and grass shoes at his feet. Without wearing protective equipment, she is wearing a pair of daggers on her waist and back. A beautiful woman with dark hair reaching her waist - Canna, the Bishop of Gregory.

And the other is a mid-twenties man, Laurent, a Gregorian priest, who wears his nails and toenails in metal armor to protect his acute needs and features a messy cut red hair.

When the two of them walk up to the big forest of Lille, Axis shows up to respond to it. It's not the unicorn, it's the old man just like when he came out in front of the Reurus.

"Whoa, the forest monster came to the report, so if you think of someone... it's Kanna-chan. It's been a while."

"Long time no see, Grandpa Axis. It's been a long time."

Axis, who appeared in front of Kanna and Laurent, glanced at Kanna and laughed. And as he moved his gaze from head to toe, he stretched under his nose and changed the type of smile.

"Ho... I grew up splendidly. Why don't you have a baby?

Axis's gaze was focused on Kanna's chest. While realizing that, Kanna just leans her neck against her cheeks and doesn't show discomfort.

"Hmm... older men aren't bad either, but I'd rather not be two digits older."

"Kahh! I can't connect. Don't you think it's okay to be two digits older if you only have love?

"Between humans, I think it's a problem.

Even if the age is only one digit different, the problem will not be solved in one word if the age is two digits different. The earliest possible assumption was that Axis lived more than a thousand years to make it happen.

"Is it true that this guy is a unicorn...? My eyes only look like my favorite grandfather...."

Laurent, who was listening to the conversation between Kanna and Axis, looked at him in a surprising way.

"Well, who are you at the time when you live in the big forest of Lille?

It is understandable that Axis is not unusual when we look at his behavior. But his behavior was too sly, so Laurent had trouble reacting.

"What's wrong with you? A man is not a summoner. Shizuku"

It was Axis who turned his eyes on Laurent, but he waved his hand to get rid of the dog. Laurent, who saw the reaction of Axis, was astonished before he got angry.

"Wow, cut it out... Bishop, you can't compete for the exam, can you?

"This guy is doctrinally an ally... and Laurent's arm is impossible, right? I don't want to fight as much as I can."

It's not a joke, it's not a strength, it's the strength of Axis in nature. Laurent looked at it with interest.

"... are you that strong?

"It's so strong that I've been a handyman to that rabid dog.

Laurent, who heard Kanna's reply, raised his hands just to say that it was up to him. If you can fight, you fight with all your might, but you don't want to die for nothing.

"So? What the hell do you want? If it's just Kanna-chan, you're welcome."

"This grandfather, it's amazing."

However, seeing Axis approaching Canna with his hands slightly open and closed makes him wonder if it's true. Of course, Laurent thinks it's a big deal to be able to imitate Kanna like that.

"I work for a friend of mine... but I haven't heard from any Gregorians who might have come here recently. I came to look at my grandfather's face as part of the investigation."

"Why, I'm so lonely... Where did the lovely Kanna go when we first met...."

Axis looked sad when she answered that she had just stopped by. Of course it is an act.

Laurent, who naturally saw it through, opened his mouth with a little interest in Axis's words.

"Bishop was cute?

"Hmm, that was cute. She was cute enough to be promising and confident that she would be beautiful in the future... even though she was a little over ten children, she slashed and killed the" neck hunter "unilaterally."

"The dust isn't cute either!?

And I really thought I should not have asked. Laurent pulls herself a little back to what Kanna did in the past.

Regardless of the “exception” like Rebecca, if you're a bishop, it's only natural that you're targeting an advanced monster - but there are limits to that.

"I miss you... just after you came to this continent, was it about five years ago?"

"... Bishop, how old were you then?

Laurent doesn't know the exact age of Kanna, but even if she is now twenty, she will be fifteen. It is not unusual to say that even at a low estimate, I defeated an advanced monster when I was 12 or 3 years old.

"Asking a girl how old she is is is a rude kid. I'm pulling."

"This grandfather is angry!?

But Axis put me in there with a real face. Laurent was very angry with it.

"Incidentally, I became a bishop the same year I defeated Neck Hunting, but then I got seriously injured."

"I can't imagine the bishop getting hurt."

Laurent is honest in her story when it comes to talking about her age. If you're going to die fighting the mighty, it's not funny that your boss is going to kill you for your age.

"I was walking down the street and I ran into a 'rabid dog'. Hey, I've heard rumors, but I'm scared of coincidences. I did my best to bring it into the fight."

"It's possible that Raccoon just smelled so good, it's not funny to me."

Laurent doesn't know whether to surprise or laugh at Kanna's story. Or maybe I wouldn't be a bishop if I hadn't “thrust through” like this.

"Let's get back to this... so, Grandpa, haven't you seen any Gregorians lately?

"Coming? I don't know how many of them... were killed by the neck of the" Neck Hunt ". There's a grave, too. Are you coming?

That said, Axis tries to bury the tomb, which Reurus and the others put on the tartar, and guide him to the place where the rock was placed instead of the tombstone.

But before nodding on the proposal, Kanna questioned it.

"Isn't it strange... that the 'Head Hunting' was born again? Isn't it a little early?

"I was born. It's a town around here... but I'm not in the world anymore. There's no problem."

Answer as if Axis were nothing. Laurent then shook his hands and knees to the ground.

"Oh, my promotion has gone far away again... there was a 'head hunt'..."

I was going to look into the disconnected Gregorians, but it seems that the "neck hunt", an advanced monster, was involved. And knowing that he had already been defeated, Laurent fell flashy.

"Your bad luck comes with origami... even though you were a good opponent for 'head hunting'. So, your grandfather knocked you down?

With a bitter smile on Laurent's nodding face, Canna questioned Axis.

Rebecca, a friend of mine, is lazy and troublesome, has intense emotional ups and downs, and his subordinates' management is cluttered, but for that reason, many of his subordinates have good eyes.

Those who went to the great forest of Lille this time, such as the priest Keith, are inferior to Laurent in terms of strength alone, but they are not weak enough to delay the monsters. Especially since Keith was only classified as a priest, he had the strength to do so.

Even these Keiths can easily be hunted by advanced monsters. If they win the "neck hunt", they can only become the same advanced monsters or human beings who stepped outside like Canna and other bishops.

No other Gregorians have been reported to have gone to the Great Forest of Lille. Only bishops, or priests like Laurent, can become skilled at defeating the 'Neck Hunter'.

Some of the most elite of the Knights of every country will find it, but the situation of Lille's Great Forest will not lead to unstable borders to exterminate the 'head hunt'.

I'm not a Gregorian, I'm not a knight. In that case, Kanna wondered if Axis had taken care of it, but Axis shook his head sideways.

"Just the right place for someone with affordable abilities. I left it to him."

"Hee-hee."

Hearing Axis's words, Chenna's lips arc.

I didn't have to ask about the results. The answer is obvious now that the Neck Hunter is dead.

"Very... yes, very interesting."

"It's not that bad just looking at the skills, but he was an interesting guy. My age is not that different from yours... no, I may have been as far away as my parents and children."

Axis laughs deeply at that, but Kanna's interest is focused on the person who defeated the "neck hunt."

"Who is it? Didn't you name it?

"If you could defeat an advanced monster, you'd be quite famous... but were you so skilled among those who could move freely in this country?

Laurent is somewhat skeptical, in contrast to Kanna, who looks interesting. Advanced monsters aren't supposed to be easy winners.

"You're not from this country? I'm a red-haired kid named Reurus."

"It's you, mate!?

And Laurent fell on the spot.

It was said that Axis had spoken the name of a friend, but in "Castle Collapse," he said, "Country Eater," and even "Neck Hunting," he was “taken first.”

"Ah... Mr. Reurus?"

Unlike Laurent's fierce reaction, Kanna can pull in the fight with a convincing attitude.

"What, do you know him? I wasn't a Gregorian, I was a Spirit...."

"Do I know you or someone you fought with... I've invited you to Gregorianism before. And he's also a boy that my friend is obsessed with."

"Ah, my face is wide in strange places....."

Axis murmured in amazement, but Kanna's expression was not bright. I narrowed my eyes so that I could think, and turned my gaze away.

"Laurent... for the record, have you received any reports that Mr. Reurus has set foot in this country?

"If you take it, you're not reacting like this... there must be a lot of people posted near the border with Mataroi."

Has Reurus crossed the border in such a way as not to be understood by the surrounding world, or has information just come up from the edge of Gregorianism? Or was someone crushing the information?

"Hmm... Rebecca gave you a" weird order ”, so the following priests consigned you?

"That seems to be the most likely thing. I don't want to get as close as I can to that bishop."

I quickly found out the details of the missing persons, but I was able to look into them again.

Though I think it's a hassle, Kanna laughs small.

"But... I see. I thought it was going to grow, but in this short period of time, that's how it got there."

Behind Kanna's head was the face of Reurus, who had met before.

"Fufu... now you're“ friends ”."

Next time I see Rebecca, I'll tell you. Alternatively, could you tell him that Reurus is involved and motivate him on the “back of the line” investigation?

"... good luck, comrade."

Next to Kanna, who smiled thinly, Laurent looked up at the sky with a sympathetic look and gave up everything.
