A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

And Reus, who broke up with Sofia, rendezvoused with Gilba, who stood in front of the door, and left the Spiritual Cathedral.

At that time, the spirituals in the Catholic Church turned their prayers in unison, but after confronting Sofia, it was nothing to worry about.

Rather, Zilba's attitude, which followed almost silently as a revus, was more worrying.

Reurus, who decided that it wasn't really about talking in a place with a lot of people coming and going, went back to the rental house with his feet. Natalia and Collard stayed out and never came back, but Reurus, who had returned to the rental, finally felt comfortable.

After all, they didn't say anything at Sofia's office, so they prepared baked sweets and white water and sat on the couch. Especially Reurus had a feeling of mental exhaustion, leaving his body deep on the couch.

"Ah... I'm tired... that would make it easier to fight monsters."

"I don't agree...."

I wonder if Eliza felt the same way, sitting next to Reurus and exhaling a big sigh. Unlike Reurus and Eliza, Sarah and Neddy usually sit down on the couch, and Meer smiles bitterly.

"... so, Mr. Gilba? It's been quiet for a while, but what happened?

Reurus looks at Gilba standing and asks. Then she took the question and Sarah sharpened her lips.

"That's right, that's right. You followed me, but Gilba is totally useless... Nyanjo?

Reurus slightly pulled Sarah's cheek as she tried to spit out a rustling rumor, blocking her words. Sarah has a strange face, but she can only laugh bitterly as a Reurus.

"Let's not say that, shall we? Gilba also has a spiritual position, and I can't help but think that Sofia is the other person."

I wanted Zilba's “backup” as a Reurus, but I didn't think I could help it when compared to Sofia.

"No, that's not impossible for Sara-sama to say. I didn't do anything."

Gilba answered lightly, turning her gaze to Reurus.

"I was going to decide how to move depending on the other way out... what kind of story did you hear from Sofia?

"... Sofia's 'protection' and spiritualism role..."

I wonder if it's okay to keep talking to Reurus. I don't know what Zilba will do if I hear that there are spirituals among those who try to “exploit” spirits.

However, such Reurus concerns will be dispelled by Zilba herself.

"I can't laugh at the Gregorians, but as Esther said before, spirituals are not a single rock. The more people come together, the more different ideas arise. I won't deny it."

"... is that so?"

To Gilba, who spoke with a sigh, Reurus returned a mix of confusion and relief.

(I don't need to be told that whoever abuses the Spirit is solemn... in that case, I could be killed too...)

Gilba doesn't seem to be that small either. Gilba spins words with a serious expression when Reurus is relieved by the fact.

"I stopped if" others ”came out, but I talked to you because the other person was one of Sophia. If you didn't have eyes around you, would you have disclosed a lot of information?

"Yes... I thought it might be dangerous because of Mr. Gilba's attitude. Actually, are you on my side?

Gilba said something noisy to Sofia, but maybe it was an act like that. It would be easier from the aristocratic Sofia and the experienced Zilba, such as making them look bad friends and teaming up behind their back.

It was a Reurus that I guessed, but Gilba's expression mixed with danger.

"Mr. Reurus, let me give you one piece of advice."

"Yes, what is it?

Reurus waits for Gilba's words as he stretches his spine like a student begging the teacher to teach.

"Indeed, Sofia manages Spiritualism in the course of her duties. But depending on the situation, you can be an“ enemy ”, not an ally... and don't forget that."

"... you think there's something behind this?

Gilba, who is supposed to belong to Spiritualism, says so. When asked by Reurus, who was curious about his intentions, Gilba shook her head sideways.

"In this case, you thought it would be better to officially declare Sarah and Neddy spirits rather than leave them alone. I think you've decided that it's easier to grasp the rope because it's better for spiritualism."

Gilba wrinkles between her eyebrows.

"But I can't say there's no back. All the pious people I knew were in the cathedral today. What do the“ other ”excluded people think, how do they move… they may be trying to identify the area."

"Aren't you a nobleman even if you rot around... you're a really troublesome creature?"

I want to look inside my head at what I think I'm living for. It was a Reurus thinking about that, but Sarah, who was listening to Reurus and Gilba, leaned her neck strangely.

Hmm? Hey, Jilba, does that mean you can't trust Jilba?

The bomb exploded like a spirit of fire. Indeed, if you accept Zilba's words in nominal terms, it means that in some situations Zilba will turn against the enemy.

Of course, that can be said by any human being, not just Zilba. And it was foolish for Sarah, the Spirit, to bump into such a question toward Jilba.

Gilba looks back at Sarah and Neddy with her serious expression, poking her knees with her right hand on her chest.

"Sarah, Neddy... there is no cloud in my faith."

Gilba is a devout believer. Like the spirituals Leurus saw the other day, he would neither weep nor sob.

Still, the work and tone of voice are full of respect for the Spirit, so much so that even the Reurus, who is not so familiar with religion, will unexpectedly admire.

I can't imagine Jilba turning into an enemy of the Spirit just in case. Even if someone like Rebecca had the "protection" to manipulate others, it was easy to imagine how each of those "threads” would attack the hand.

"But there is no doubt that other spirits doubt faith."

"What are you doing?

Therefore, Gilba is serious about continuing her words without losing her expression.

"--I will judge myself."

The words that were then released had nothing more to do with Sarah and Neddy than revus.

Silence descends into the living room. It takes a few seconds for each to understand Zilba's words, and Sarah reacts first.

"Eh, hey, no!? I don't doubt it! Gilba makes me and Neddy better, and I don't doubt it at all! I was just wondering!

…………

Unlike usual, Sarah was in a serious hurry to forgive her. Neddy also stood up from the sofa and pulled his sleeve silently to stop Jilba.

Reurus also raised his hips from the sofa and stood ready to fly as soon as Jilba was about to imitate something strange. I'm not sure Jilba can stop her, but I don't have a choice.

Gilba smiles at how they react.

"Hahaha, it's a joke. I'm not going to do that."

Gilba stood up with that, but Reurus, who had forgotten for a few moments, smiled back.

"Hah, hah... it's a tough joke..."

Reurus sat down on the sofa, anxious whether his voice was trembling. However, the body remained moderately tense and focused on moving quickly if anything happened.

(You were absolutely serious right now... that's what you were looking at...)

Gilba's reaction was even horrible when it came to Reurus, which lacked faith, even in previous generations. However, if I turn my back, I can be trusted that I will never betray Sarah or Neddy.

"Don't ask me that again...."

"Yeah... I was just wondering... I'm sorry..."

When Reurus stabbed her nail, Sarah lowered her head in a depressed state. However, Jilba did not see what was bothering her and turned to Reurus to change the subject.

"By the way, regarding the 'contract' with multiple spirits...."

"Huh? Uh... did you find anything?

Reurus takes advantage of Gilba's generosity to change the subject. One of the reasons I came to the Catholic Church was to get information about the Contract, but I didn't ask Sofia, so I didn't get any information.

"I'm supposed to ask someone I can trust to check the literature in the cathedral. However, I was vaguely asking for information about the spirits that existed in the past, not the" contract. "

"Don't you ask directly for information?

It was Gilba who said it was better to ask the Spirits, but did you need to change your policy? With that in mind, Reurus asked, and Gilba stroked her chin with thoughtfulness.

"I wonder how good Sofia's control is... I'll check, did you tell Sarah that you have a 'contract' with her?

"No, I didn't tell you because I remembered that spirituals said it was better to ask. Is that all right?

Gilba nods satisfactorily in response to Reurus.

"Yes. The person I took with me this time was also a very pious person... If they knew it was for the Spirit, they wouldn't be able to pass on the information not only to Sofia, but also to the" others ”. Just be careful, okay?

"So it's obscured... then we just have to wait for the results."

Tell Spiritualism about Sarah and Neddy and get information about the Contract.

As for Reus, most of the reasons for visiting the King's City were being cleared up. I don't know if Natalia will do better, but Natalia will do whatever it takes.

But Sophia's face is too deep behind Reurus' brain. Louis may still struggle, if only the nobles were like Sofia.

And even in Sofia, it was people gathered in a sign called Spiritualism who burned their hands, and I could think of many things in combination with the words and deeds of Gilba earlier.

(As expected, there are no other spirituals as “rich” as Gilba-san... so few... I don't think so, but do you manage to put together people who have such ideas and not do strange things...)

Gilba warned me, but I can't call him an enemy at the moment.

Of course, it wasn't time to be honest as an ally, but the next time we met, it was a realuse that I thought I'd pay a little more attention to my attitude.
