A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Why is this noise...."

"What? Sarah, what's going on?

Did you hear Sarah crying loudly? Eliza and Meer, who were in their room, also came down to the living room. When she realized it, Sarah hugged Eliza and Meer without telling them that reinforcements were coming.

"Devils is in trouble!

"Too much turbidity to understand....."

"Devils... who? Oh, Mr. Reurus?

But Eliza and Meer, who had Sarah in their arms, responded normally.

I understand that something happened, but even if I swallowed Sarah's words, there was a sense of “trust”.

Sarah raised her face and pointed to Reurus as if she was unhappy with Sarah and Meer's reaction.

"Reurus... Reurus! You said you'd switch from me to Neddy!

"I'm changing trains... what do you mean?

"Come on...."

Sarah appeals desperately, but Eliza and Meer's reaction remains faint. He nevertheless turned his gaze to Reurus and tilted his neck.

"... Sarah said?

In the meantime, when Eliza asked, Reurus shook his head sideways with a bitter smile.

"I don't know why Sarah reacted like that either....."

And I decided to tell the story I heard from Natalia, including going to King's City for the time being.

"I don't know what they called me... but Natalia's in trouble."

She sat in a chair in the living room because it was going to be a long time, and when Reurus finished talking, Eliza told her to roar as she braced her arms.

"Independent... am I more interested in you? I wonder if we could live together at the dwarf...."

Mia seemed more interested in the independence of the abandoned city of Laval than in going to King's Landing, and she seemed somehow distracted.

"In that case, I felt like I wanted you to help me as much as possible instead of living with me... Ah, and then I kept this to myself for a while?

Squeezing Sarah on her lap, Reurus grabbed her. Until a while ago, Sarah cried loudly with turbidity, but now she's grown up wondering if she's recovered her calm.

"So... it looks like we're starting to get information about Sarah and Neddy. I think I need to believe in spiritualism."

"Hmm... so when I checked with Neddy to see if I could sign the contract, Sarah said..."

After listening, Eliza turned to Sarah, who was sitting on Reurus's lap.

"I'm not a nuisance... if you make so much noise, your neighborhood will be in trouble"

"But why did Sara-chan tell you to switch to Neddy?

Eliza talks in a sister-like tone blaming her noisy sister, and Meer questions Sarah.

Sarah was questioned - she leaned her neck.

"... why?

…………

Neddy looked at Sarah strangely silently and somewhat coldly.

"Sarah... are you making so much noise without meaning?

Eliza was right about the neighborhood. Sarah jumped out of Reus' lap in a hurry when Reus raised her eyebrows saying she should be angry here.

"Chi, isn't that right!? I felt“ somehow ”when I heard about Reurus!

……

It was not an excuse, but Reurus leaned his neck without anger.

(Guess... something like that made a scene? If I make a "contract" with Neddy, will my "contract" with Sarah expire...?

With that in mind, Reurus looks at Neddy, but Neddy just stares at Sarah and doesn't answer anything.

(Kazu-san also said that spirits are rare, and there are rare opportunities to meet multiple spirits and enter into "contracts" in duplicate....)

In the first place, Reurus already had a "contract" between Eliza and Sarah. Even if Neddy is there, is there a problem?

"I have a 'contract' with Eliza and Sarah... is there a limit to how many 'contracts' I can have?

"... that? Speaking of which... right?

When Reurus answered the question, Sarah leaned her neck again with a strange face.

"Hmm... even though we have a" contract ", there is a difference between a bloodsucking species and a spirit, right? Wouldn't it be nice to have a" contract "with the second spirit?

Meer, who was listening to the conversation, asked as she remembered the question, but no one had a clear answer. One of the reasons is that Reurus has never seen anyone else enter into a "contract" other than himself, but the phenomenon of a "contract" itself has never really bothered me that much.

"Eliza, what's going on around here?

For that reason, Reurus shouted to Eliza, who had initially signed the "contract."

"I don't care what they say... I've been taught how to exchange contracts by my aunt and I..."

As Eliza had said herself, she frowned in trouble.

"After all, I've heard that 'contract' is a kind of magic and exists on the extension of auxiliary magic... Look, I'm not a bloodsucking species... and from my aunt... the one who's going to sign the contract... um..."

As she spoke, Eliza blushed her face as she glanced at Reurus for some reason.

"Elizabeth?

"Nah, it's nothing!

"Really?

When Meer asked what was going on, Eliza answered with a bite. So Meer pulls back and returns to the story.

"Even though it's a kind of magic, it's rare to have a contract, right? I... yeah, I didn't hear that the dwarf had a" contract "with someone, and I heard that spirits and dragon species could have a" contract "."

"... I should have talked to Vaniel about this."

Or maybe Axis, a unicorn that's been alive for over a thousand years.

(Speaking of which, did Jilba say something about the bloodsucking species... close to people, close to monsters, close to spirits...? I signed a "contract" because I was close to the spirits....)

It was a revulsion to think like that, but I correct my thoughts because I am off the topic.

"Whether Neddy and I have a contract or not, we need to gather more information... or if Neddy thinks it's okay to have a contract with me."

I had a lot of questions, but I was just checking to see if Neddy could sign the contract.

Reurus looked at Neddy in the chair silently and serious expression appeared.

"Neddy... this is not compulsory, and if there's anything you think, you can say no. However, when I go to King's Landing, I just need you to pretend that you have a contract... you understand?

I have no choice but to leave Neddy in the abandoned city of Laval.

There's no way we're going to leave Neddy behind in Laval Abandoned City as long as there's a rumor going around. I don't think so, but maybe the Gregorians will listen to the rumors.

(With the way Kanna and Laurent talk, Neddy doesn't seem to be targeted... but he's not a single rock either.)

Natalia, Gilba, and Collard will accompany you to the King's Capital this time. I've never actually seen Natalia fight, but I don't see the need for Natalia to lie about her powers.

It depends on the compatibility, but it's good to see you stand as tall as Zilba.

"... yeah"

Neddy nodded small as to what he thought of Reurus, who would take it seriously.

"... a 'contract'?

But Reurus opened his eyes to the words that followed. Unlike Sarah, who cried and screamed, Neddy asked if she would make a 'contract' in a very natural and unusual way.

"Is that... okay?

"If it's a Reurus," I think it's okay... maybe. "

Maybe?

"Maybe."

This is Neddy nodding again and again, but perhaps one word will lead Reurus astray.

(If, as Sarah said, the "contract" is in the form of a “transfer”... right?

Sarah said when she signed the "contract" with Reurus, but if Reurus dies, Sarah dies too. Originally, Sarah used the magic of Reurus to reveal it, and it was unclear what would happen when the "contract" was terminated.

"By the way, who says I'm okay?

…………

"No, I can't even tilt my neck there...."

Neddy leans his neck cutely, and Reurus slips in, but the answer doesn't come back.

Compared to when we first met, Neddy was able to glimpse things that looked like emotions, but from time to time, he sometimes showed such reactions.

Reus, who understood that pursuing it in this state would make no sense, exhaled a little and turned his gaze to Sarah for the time being.

"That's why I'm not talking about changing trains... okay?

"Mmm! Okay!"

Sarah nodded with a full smile, but Eliza stood up from her chair when she saw her.

"I understand the reason for the noise, but for now, it's not a sermon... because the noise in the middle of the night will annoy the neighborhood."

"What? But maybe it has something to do with Eliza, too?

"Nh... what's wrong?

Sarah says with her face to Eliza, who tries to preach.

"Look, because Eliza was the first to sign a contract, this is how I showed up, right? If Neddy is there, my body may change through the Contract, and Eliza may be affected."

"... specifically?

"Big breasts."

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Elizabeth flew past Sarah's words, but neither Reurus nor Meer stopped. It might annoy the neighborhood, but I couldn't defend Sarah.

"Ah, speaking of which, my father just arrived. The sword took shape, so he said to show his face around tomorrow."

"Ah... I didn't know if I could bring the Dragon Slash to King's Landing, and it was just right."

Elsa and Sarah, who started a “sister quarrel”, went elsewhere, and Reurus received a message from Calvin from Meer.

Whether to show your face after the request is completed or before accepting the request. If you can use it right away, you may want to accept the sword you created before you accept your request.

…………

Neddy laughed silently as he saw Reurus and Meer talking like that, and Eliza and Sarah working together.
