A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

A week passed since Reurus and the others began their lives in King's Landing.

On that day, a group of Reurus, who had finished dinner at dusk, gathered in the living room of the rented house and spent their time thinking.

Rented houses are fairly spacious, and there are private rooms where each can sleep. Still, they gather in the living room because there is little entertainment in this world that squanders time in private rooms.

Small but bathrooms also exist because of houses rented by quasi-naristocrats like Natalia. With Sarah and Neddy, it was possible to take a bath, and since I came to King's Landing, I have been taking a bath like every day.

Then you can take a bath and go to bed, or you can talk until late at night and crush your time. Such a relaxed atmosphere fills the living room, and Natalia, who was enjoying wine after dinner, chatted and opened her mouth.

"So, how did you feel about spending the night in King's Landing?

"I don't want to live because it's expensive."

Knowing that the clothes ordered are worth more than your home, Reus answers with his face.

"I'm a little worried about a lot of people... but it's a peaceful and good place."

"I don't have a chance to bake meat, so I'd like to go home soon!

Eliza answers as she feels, and Sarah answers as usual in a way.

"Hmm... am I easier to live in Laval Waste City?

"... and Neddy."

Meer answers in a way that is difficult to say, and Neddy rides on such a Meer and murmurs.

Natalia laughed convincingly when she heard the reactions from the Reurus.

Only Reurus and Natalia are here. Gilba and Collard were out and were not coming home tonight.

Gilba knows the King's City well, not as well as Natalia and Collard. Collard said he needed help and was out.

(Gilba is scared to hide her magic around the house... but Collard isn't...)

Reurus slightly suspected that he had spent the night looking for “healing.” But I'm not going to complain about Collard's behavior. I just want him to grow his wings.

"I feel like I'm feeling a lot... and I'm not going to say anything to Sarah's daughter."

The King's Capital in the corner, but Reurus and the others do not go out so aggressively. I never wandered around like a tourist who had visited a tourist destination.

I also cook the ingredients that I bought and try to get them from my rental as much as possible. They say you can name Natalia or Louis if you have something, but I'm afraid something will happen if you walk out for a long time.

It is mainly Mea who cooks. No one complains about the dishes made by Meer, who is good at home cooking.

However, Sarah is in charge when cooking meat. Were you curious or didn't you just give up?

"By the way, what about the clothes you ordered last time?

Reurus also shouted that it was a post-meal reunion. Natalia stopped drinking wine and turned her gaze to the sky.

"I'll be able to do it by the day after tomorrow at the latest... I'll go back to the store tomorrow. And try it on once, and you'll get it if there's no problem."

"You want to meet a nobleman when you get it, right?

It is also one of the purposes of coming to King's City. However, now that you've finished your visit with Sofia, you won't be so nervous as a revus. I thought there wouldn't be any harder problems than Sofia.

Natalia stood still and watched Reurus thinking that way. And when I saw Reurus's face for a few seconds, I slightly lost my sight.

"I didn't tell you because I didn't want to upset you, but I need to ask Reurus one thing."

"... I don't have a good feeling about every request in this situation."

From Natalia's attitude, Reurus frowned as to whether there was any trouble.

Even so, Natalia sighed as little as she thought she could.

"Originally I was going to let you meet me in the clothes I ordered, but I got a suggestion from the other side. I want to see the" Monster Taker "skill."

"Eh? Well then... why?

Reurus leaned his neck into unexpected Natalia's words, expressing doubts. Natalia sighed again as she wondered what to do with it.

"We're getting everything we need to be independent. In a week's time, I will worship His Majesty the King. The roots are almost finished, so we need to move towards the future."

That said, Reurus doesn't know what Natalia wants to say. Tilt your neck to see what the connection is between the story and showing your arms.

"My throne, the money I have saved for four generations, the land I have been given, the support of the nobles who are in favour of independence. With them, independence is assured, and the people living in the territory are all in the abandoned city of Laval... and there's something we need on top of that, you know?

Natalia talks like a test. Reurus whispers in his heart when he hears it.

(I have people, things, money, land, but I don't think they need anything extra... they're not residential or manpower... and there's no way she doesn't take into account minimum conditions like food or water...)

Reurus, who had thought so much, noticed that he was told he wanted to see his own arm. What is needed after independence and likely to have something to do with Reurus?

"I see... I don't want to confirm the strength."

Eliza muttered as convinced that she had followed the same thought as Reurus. But the gaze was sharp, gazing at Natalia with his arms braced.

"In that case, the additional questions arise... what happens to the treatment of the revus in the future? You said you'd be a baron, didn't you? Aren't you going to make Reurus a knight?

Eliza asks, mixing not only the attitude but also the discontent color in her voice tone. Natalia's gaze and words turned to Eliza, and she smiled bitterly.

"You're right about what they want to see. Independent, but devastated by powerful monsters and large-scale bandits."

"Natalia's here, isn't she?

"The lord can't solve everything, and you think I can stay in the territory forever? Sometimes you come to King's Landing like this, or you go to neighboring territory. I mean, I want to make sure there's some power without me."

Natalia grinned at Eliza's biting words. While listening to those two conversations, Reurus learns a lot of questions.

(It's only natural that we need the strength to defend our territory. But what if we weren't here?

Reurus also understands that Natalia is an amazing wizard, based on the magic and Collard reaction he saw on his way to King's Landing. But what would have happened if the Reurus had not existed under Natalia, which was originally aiming for independence?

(Power... strength... when it comes to Laval Waste Town, the Adventurer is going to hit it... but, oh... "That's what I'm talking about”...)

Why there are armed groups in the form of adventurers not only in the abandoned city of Laval, but also in other abandoned cities. The Reurus that came to mind had an indescribable feeling.

“Minimum” combat power when independent. That would be the role of an adventurer.

He has no formal training and is poorer in terms of equipment compared to the leadership and national army, but it is the adventurer who has the experience of fighting monsters. Even after gaining independence like this, it will be more powerful than training as a soldier from scratch.

(The administrator, Kin, was hosting the Adventurers' Union, or both... not only in the abandoned city of Laval, but also in managing the armed forces.)

In that case, I think it would be better to train properly rather than self-reliance, but Reurus thought, but perhaps it also served to prevent rebellion.

It really operated as a minimal force, making it easier for the leader and the National Army to control even in the event of a rebellion.

Of course, there is also the possibility that Reurus is mistaken. I can't be sure without confirming it with Natalia.

Still, I thought Reurus wouldn't be too far off.

(You try me a lot these days... you mean you can get here on your own?

I think Reurus is like a teacher who does homework. At the same time, however, she felt doubtful that Natalia had only confirmed half of Eliza's queries.

"Yoshi-san... even if they say you want to see your skills, is that okay with me? There are a lot of things to do in the future...."

In terms of the strength of the troops present in the current abandoned city of Laval, it would also include Reurus. However, Reurus is also involved with Spiritualism with regard to Sarah and Neddy.

Natalia laughed with joy at Reurus, who asked with the intent that other adventurers would be counted as troops.

"That's a good question. There is also a combination of spiritualism, so it is not good to make it into" my men ”as knights and waiters. Besides, it's harder to move as an army because it's more powerful than other kids."

Natalia is a smile that she doesn't just say she noticed.

"Originally, I didn't intend to make Reurus a knight. If you tie yourself to that position, you won't be able to move freely. I mean, other adventurers... you can't be the general who leads the army."

"... well, that's impossible."

You will be able to take the lead and attack, but you will not be able to lead a soldier and fight as an army. Learning the knowledge to lead others and gaining experience may help, but it seems like it will take time on an annual basis no matter what you think.

It was a Reurus nodding like that, but I noticed that Natalia's smile was gone and she had a serious look on her face.

Natalia was very serious and staring straight at Reurus.

"But... will you support my dream?

It was deep trust that was implicated in the inquiry. Or the unconscious “sweetness” of Reurus, which I promised when I first heard Natalia's dream.

"Of course... it would be nice if I could promise, but is that all right?

Natalia says she wants the help of Reurus, but she doesn't want to tie her knights to her position. Natalia broke her face and smiled when she wondered if she could satisfy her opponent's demands.

"I don't care around here. There's a way to make amends."

"... I see. Then I won't say anything."

If you want me to show you my skills, I'll show you as much as I want. Reurus was so determined, Eliza opened her mouth in a mood of frustration.

"... I was a little curious, but why did you tell us what we're talking about? If it's" so far ”, you've only told Reurus to pass it on to us, right?

That was the question that became Eliza. At the same time, I remember feelings that were difficult to describe to Reurus and Natalia that showed how things were working together.

"On the contrary, what do you think if, in this situation, I take Reus to the private room and kick you out to create a one-on-one situation?

…………

I'm not convinced, but Eliza nods that she understands. It must have been one trust to talk about the future in front of Eliza and the others.

"I don't know, but what do you do to show Reurus what he's capable of? If you're going to fight a monster, can I have some meat after you take him down?

I was listening, but Sarah just said she didn't want to understand. Natalia laughed bitterly at Sarah's words, but immediately she felt serious.

"That's how hard it is to fight monsters in King's Landing... the other side will choose. Probably, but someone with the right arm."

It doesn't seem like we're going to fight monsters, but we still need to fight soldiers or something.

As Natalia says, those who stand with their arms will be chosen. I don't mind if it's a revulsion in itself.

(I think it would be better to fight with all my might... what happens if I accidentally slash it?

With the exception of training with Collard, it is basically a revulsion that has only been experienced in killing each other. I don't know the skill of the opponent, but I don't think it can be dextrously imitated such as edging, and Natalia was right. It was a revulsion that I was a little worried about from now on.
