A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 311: The Messenger Part 4
The story Natalia told me, honestly, doesn't mean I understood everything as a Reurus. Because the scale of the story is too large, and there is not enough knowledge to understand everything.
Natalia answers Reurus' questions, but she doesn't feel the same way about the "world of nobility” Natalia is about to enter.
I can still understand that Natalia is seriously trying to protect Sarah and Neddy as well as Reurus.
Of course, Natalia has many thoughts.
Not only Reurus, but also Sarah and Neddy, the spirits, are very powerful. In addition, Sarah and Neddy make it easy to get Spiritualism's help.
(Even with such advantages, it seems more troublesome...)
I think so, Reurus, but there's no way Natalia didn't predict both the benefits and the disadvantages. Reurus can't judge, but from Natalia, it is possible that the benefits are better than good enough.
With that in mind, Reurus calms down Natalian cooking. Natalia made it for me.
Fortunately, Reurus' tongue is normal and tells us that it is a delicious dish.
…………
Natalia stared silently at it, even though it was a realuse of thinking and eating food. Compared to Reurus, it seems to be slowly advancing the meal while listening to Reurus' reaction.
"... you must have a lot of things to think about."
"Nh... ah, well, that's right."
And Reurus returned vague words to the murmured words.
- Of course I do.
But that's probably not what Natalia cares about.
"You're in a tough spot... and then, yes. Somehow...."
Reurus, who flattens all of Natalia's cooking from the edge, moisturizes his throat with water instead of wine. He then searched for words for a few seconds and looked up at the ceiling with his body on the back of the chair.
"I'm in a strange position, too... I can't believe it..."
It may be self-portrayal compliment, but Reus thinks it's already falling outside the framework of an adventurer.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? When will you be able to make that decision?
I am basically in favour of Natalia's goal of independence from the abandoned city of Laval. Reurus thinks so, not only in Mataroi, but also as a traveler to other countries.
The other towns, not the abandoned towns, which Natalia says the aristocracy controls, were somewhat different peace.
Now it's time for peace in the abandoned city of Laval, but Reurus understands that it's built on a dangerous balance.
(I hate to think about it... but if I and Eliza die, this town may turn back before. I have Jilba and Calvin's grandpa, but I don't know if everything will work out...)
Originally, Jilba, a spiritual, was treated as a superfluous person. It is now accepted that “Jilba Individuals”, but it is doubtful that spirituals, an external force, can wave their hands to help.
Regarding Calvin and the dwarves, I don't know if they'll stay in the abandoned city of Laval even after Reurus and the others die. Even if I stayed there, I would not leave the region of intermediate monsters if I thought of it as a combat force.
The monsters who are not as close to the abandoned city of Laval now must come back over time.
(If you think so, you're in a more important position than I thought....)
I'm not going to lie to you that I'm protecting everything in the abandoned city of Laval. Still, I can assure you that to some extent it contributes to peace.
"Reurus... I know what you're thinking. It cannot be denied that it is used as a force of war. I will not deny that the“ edge ”you have spinned will be a great force for independence."
It was a realuse that I thought it was, but I heard such words and shifted my gaze from the ceiling to Natalia.
There was a serious expression of Natalia.
"But as for me, it was before that. I will protect the people of this town, and I will never abandon them. As I said before, I want you to accompany me to King's Landing this time to protect you... I don't deny that I have a lot of ideas, but there's nothing better than that."
The tone of voice is also serious and does not seem to be lying or joking.
That's why Reurus smiled bitterly.
I don't doubt "there.” Just like we are, Sebastian... no, I believe Natalia is too. "
Natalia's attitude towards her friends in the abandoned city of Laval is beyond doubt. Therefore, I can assure you, this case seems to be too big.
"But what I need to make up for the missing part is spiritualism....."
Whatever is available should be used, but naturally the spiritualist side will also have doubts. Not only Natalia, but also Reurus.
"Don't worry about it. I'm going to the King's Capital this time, and I'm going to need Jilba's help."
"... it feels like the final weapon has suddenly appeared, but are you okay?
When I heard that Gilba would help me, Reurus was more worried than reassured at first.
"When I heard that Sarah's daughter's information had leaked from the Spirits, she smiled and agreed to come with me."
"I don't think that's okay.
"It's okay... maybe"
Apparently, even Natalia didn't think we'd be able to get Zilba.
"You're going to King's Landing with me and Eliza... and Jilba... not a bad fight."
"If the bandits attack me on the way, I won't be able to lend it to the local lords... and I'll take Collard with me."
"... I see."
Reurus nodded back to Collard's name. I'm sure Natalia has some ideas, but I can only pray for Kohlrad's peace as a Reurus.
"But wouldn't it make this town weak to take you so far? There are limits to Calvin's grandmothers, right?
"There's no problem with that. We are negotiating with the lord of Laval to increase his patrols."
Apparently, they were already dealing with the battle anxiety. Surprised by the level of preparedness around it, or should it be taken for granted that it was moving in anticipation of the independence of Laval Waste City?
"... in that case, the only problem is getting around King's Landing."
If you believe in Natalia, the abandoned city of Laval is fine.
The journey is safe - rather, excessive.
In addition to Reurus and the others, Gilba, Natalia, Collard, and the advanced monster, the Bishop of Gregory, are likely to be defeated.
"Of course, we need to be ready before we leave. It's time to harvest, and there's still time to get to King's Landing."
"Specifically?
"It's a short week, a long two weeks. If possible, I'd like to go inside now and come back before the winter gets real."
Apparently, Natalia is able to plan a trip roughly as well.
"By the way, how long does it take to reach King's Landing?
"Yes... Eliza's daughter has power, and everyone can move with Enhancements. If anything happens on the road, two weeks, ten days without anything?
It seems that the distance to King's Landing is not that long. Of course, it would take more than twice as many days for anyone but Reurus to go there.
It seems that there are really no problems outside King's Landing. It was a Reurus nodding with that thought in mind, but Natalia stared at it and leaned her neck.
"Is there anything else wrong?
"... yes, there is. But this is your problem, so I can't do anything about it."
That's what Natalia said, and Reurus frowned. Then Natalia sighs when she sees the reaction of Reurus.
"Regarding the treatment of Neddy's daughter. Sarah's daughter has a contract with you, and I hear she'll die if you die. But she's not."
"... you want me to sign a contract?
"It's not up to me to decide. Besides, you already have a" contract "with Eliza and Sarah's daughters... and I wonder if you can make an" agreement "with the Spirit in addition."
Reurus looked strangely at Natalia's words.
"What if there are two or three people who have a contract?
"I really don't know. I've never heard of a" contract "with a vampire species or a spirit, and I don't know if I can make a" contract "with multiple spirits... Reurus? Remember that spirits are rare?
To be honest, I forgot.
Sarah is Sarah and Neddy is Neddy before you say what a spirit is. It's the earliest family for Reurus, and I'm not going to say anything because I'm a spiritual.
"... let's say we have a 'contract' with Neddy's daughter to keep her from being separated from Spiritualism."
"Do I have to worry about that... Sarah made a contract on her own, and I don't know if I can make a contract with Neddy..."
The existence of the Spirit is very rare, and from a Spiritual perspective, it is a subject of faith. Natalia advises you not to go against the Spirit's will, but to be able to "escape” when something happens.
("Contract" with Neddy....)
Should we at least check before we go to King's Landing? In the first place, you might want to see if Neddy will follow you.
It was Reurus who took her out of Lake Mersena, but it's possible that Neddy doesn't want to get caught up in this disturbance.
"For the time being, that's all I need to talk about tonight. I'll get you ready for your trip, so you can spend it as usual."
"Okay. If you need anything, just let me know.
At the end of the exchange, Reurus left Natalia's home.
"Neddy, what if I asked you to sign a contract with me?
"... eh?
When he went home, Reurus caught Neddy and asked.
Because I thought it would be better to hear it when I could, rather than talk about it later.
"--Reuruuuu!? You're dumping me and switching to Neddy!? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
And Sarah cried with all her strength.
