A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The words that Natalia told me were unexpected as Reurus. As a result, Reurus leaned his neck with confusion on his face.

"King's Landing...? And for what reason?

I don't think Natalia would say such a thing without meaning. Moreover, it is a statement that precedes “please” rather than "request”.

Asked what that meant, Natalia shrugged her eyes as she shaken her wine glass.

"I'm not alone, so... what if I tell you?

"I'm honored to be chosen to accompany you... so what's the truth?

Reurus talks with Natalia, who doesn't seem to think the dust is delicate. Then Natalia took a sip of wine before laughing bitterly.

"Oh, I'm worried too. You've grown very strong since you came to Laval Waste City. Wouldn't it be strange if you wanted me to be by your side and protect you?

"... I would have nodded honestly if Jilba hadn't told me I could beat you if the distance was open."

Whether it was a joke or a little serious, Reurus gave Natalia a bitter smile. More words than usual means that Natalia is in a good mood.

"I don't know... but it's true that I'm counting on you as a fighter. I don't know how many people in the army of King's Landing can do the same to defeat advanced monsters alone."

"Alone... I've cheated on you somehow."

Asked if I defeated the "neck hunt" purely on my own strength, the answer is no. Eliza and Sarah “pulled" their power through the "contract," so it's hard to say what Reurus' personal strength was.

However, it is difficult to deny it even if it is said to have been defeated alone because it is not known by the eyes.

"Can I get on better? I wonder if I wasn't that old."

"That's what I'm talking about... so? It's time to tell me the truth."

Reurus asked Natalia as she cooked the corner.

"I see... I wonder if you're mad. I realize there's more waste than usual."

Natalia also cooks and is slightly silent. Natalia opened her mouth after only a few dozen seconds of the sound of the dishes standing up.

"First of all... what do you think will make this city independent?

"Well... do you declare your independence?

When Reurus answered, ignoring all the details, Natalia made a small bubble.

"Fufu... it's more a rebellion against a country called Mataroi than independence."

"Don't laugh at me, Mistress. In the first place, I don't know how politics works in this country, do I?

While saying that, Reurus begins to line up his knowledge in words.

It is only natural that there is a king by the name of King's City. And at the same time, there are nobles.

Below the nobles are quasi-bars like Natalia and knights like Collard. Folk grass living in Mataroi lives and works as soldiers, in commerce, industry, and agriculture.

If we dig even deeper, there are abandoned city dwellers, former slaves like Reurus, and subhumans like Dwarves.

Religion is dominated by spiritualism, and Gregorianism is very strict.

"I'm curious, but how did it go in a country where you were alive?

"Politics... hmm, man... democracy? It's like electing representatives from the people and taking the helm of the whole country with the chosen people..."

Reurus who can't be confident while explaining.

There were no particular political ideologies and no religious beliefs. Still, I managed to explore memory and spin words.

"Ah... speaking of which, was it during the Sengoku period? There was a nobleman ruling the territory like this country, not a king, but a great man...?

I should have learned it when I was a student, but Reurus roared as he rubbed between his eyebrows.

"I don't know much about it... but if you know a little bit about it, it should be easy to understand."

Natalia continued her words, laughing bitterly at Reurus, who would otherwise dig into memory.

"To put it simply, the greatest king in this country is the King who reigns over the capital of Rovama. Below them are the nobles ruling the territories of Mataroi. It varies depending on the title and job responsibilities, but the area will be finer, so I'll skip it now."

If that's about it, I understand it as a revus. It was nevertheless Natalia's explanation for being a quasi-bar, and Reurus nodded honestly.

"If you say so without fear of misunderstanding, the kingdom of the nobles is one country. Aside from the king who governs the kingdom of Mataroi, think that there is a king named the aristocrat in each territory. The King of Mataroi, who lives in King's Landing, is in charge of all these kings."

"Hmm... in other words, if you think about it, the abandoned city of Laval is your territory... You're the administrator."

Natalia, in the position of a quasi-bar and administrator, is “borrowing” in the form of a abandoned city of Laval in Laval territory.

And Natalia is trying to escape in the form of independence from the situation.

"Yes... I've talked to you before. Independence naturally requires land to build a town. But I need more than that."

So Natalia cut out her words and drank wine to calm herself down.

"For the first time since I was recognized by the King... that's why I'm going to King's Land this time. We need to meet a number of nobles, not just the King, but about the transfer of territory."

"... it's more important than I thought."

"It's important. Definitely... but it's been four generations, and thanks to you, it's advantageous."

That's how Natalia wets her lips with wine and hangs the edges of her lips.

"I went to Laval today because a messenger came from King's Landing. I need to fill in the“ stories around here, "so I'm coming to King's Landing soon."

"Oh... congratulations, I repeat."

It seems more important than I thought. Reurus celebrated Natalia with that in mind - where he returned to me.

"Wait..." Didn't you hear why I went to King's Landing?

I've heard a lot about it, but I haven't talked about it. So when Reurus asks, Natalia has a serious look.

"There are about three good reasons, a common reason, and a bad reason, but which one would you like to hear from?

"What are those three choices... and there are three bad reasons... for a good reason anyway?"

There was no particular reason, but Reurus decided to listen to the good news.

"I don't think I'll ever go to King's Landing without this opportunity... there's a lot of stuff going on in Rovama. Just seeing them will do you good, and there's plenty of delicious stuff.

"Ah, that's a good reason... what's the normal reason?

"You can't dress like that without anyone coming with you, can you? Of course, it's not just you. When I think about my abilities, I want Eliza's daughters to follow me... because it also involves" bad reasons. "

Natalia seems to be heading to King's Landing alone, but there must be some body style around there. Reurus was convinced, but raised his eyebrows to the words of the second half.

"Why is that bad?

"First of all, Sarah's daughter is becoming known to be a spirit."

"... a year, or... should I think I've had it?

Reurus smiled unexpectedly at Natalia's words.

The inhabitants of the abandoned city of Laval were lying on their faces, telling Sarah not to hear that they were spirits. Still, the information is circulating. Does it mean that there was a verse that could be noticed somewhere?

"Next, Neddy's daughter is becoming known as a spiritual."

"... isn't there one bad story with Sarah?

It is an unexpectedly tilting revulsion, but Natalia denies it with a serious look.

"The rumors come from different sources. As for Sarah's daughter, she's probably leaking from the spirituals. And as for Neddy's daughter, rumors seem to be spreading from the aristocrats...."

Reurus glanced at the ceiling as he spoke to Natalia with his eyebrows raised.

"Neddy... well, I can't help it. Sarah's information leaks from Spiritualism....."

Is that good? Spiritualism and Reurus wanted to hold their heads.

Regarding Neddy, there is an exotic atmosphere, and it is not strange to be rumored to be a spirit. I could say Sarah smells too human.

"I don't think there are any details. But there's talk of seeing spirits in southern Mataroi."

"... what's the last bad story?

Let's listen to the end of the story for now. Natalia smiled bitterly when Reurus urged her to do so.

"The name 'The Monster Eater' seems to be wider than I thought... the nobles involved in this story have told me that they want to connect their faces."

Didn't you ask me to go to King's Landing? I don't care about me, but I can't say no to Sarah and Neddy. "

What do you mean the escape route is already blocked? I want to shout it out loud, but I weigh myself because it's not constructive.

"... in the meantime, if you're taking Sarah and Neddy to King's Landing, there's a solution, right?

That being said, Reurus expected a solution. “Do something about Sarah and Neddy of the Spirit" requires commensurate strength.

"You're officially into spiritualism... that's the only solution."

"I guess so...."

I don't know why Sarah and Neddy's information is out there, but if you step up to Spiritualism, you won't be able to do any more.

Reurus did not forget that the House of Värg had developed into a disturbance because it had invited Gregorians.

(Spiritualism... well, it's hostile to Gregorianism, and there's no problem getting in... no, really?

I've heard from Gilba before, but Reurus has a "contract" with the Spirit, so he can become a Spirit Teacher. This is the same position as Esther, but I don't know what to do.

It was a realuse that feared whether it was really okay to lean towards Spiritualism, but I noticed that Natalia was giving me a serious look.

"When it comes to spiritualism, it's not just for you, it's for Sarah and Neddy's girls. Of course, I'll do my best. But just remember this."

It's “advice” in a serious tone, just like facial expressions.

"I'm not even noble right now.” There's only one thing I can protect, and I can't guarantee that I can protect you... that's why I'm asking you. "

That's how Natalia stares at Reurus.

"I'll move as well as I can... so follow me to King's Landing."

All I could do with the word was nod.
