A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

After Natalia asked me about my plans for the future, the evening broke out twice.

The weather is pleasant since morning, and if you look up at the sky, you can hardly see any clouds. Winter is approaching, or the temperature is slightly lower due to the weather, but it is not cold enough.

The climate is just right for "moving around.” Your body temperature will rise if you move, but it's comfortable enough to think it'll cool you down moderately.

Whether you're wearing armor or swinging your love sword, it must feel just right.

--In other words, it was a pleasant climate for fighting.

"Hmm...."

Wear armor as you move as an adventurer, and while checking your condition, Reurus leaks a careless voice.

Dwarf's three-layer armor fits his body as usual. There is no problem with the nails or toenails, and the fasteners are not rattled. You won't feel uncomfortable with the leather shoes you're used to, and you'll be able to move around as you like.

The love sword "Dragon Slash" is also well maintained, and both sheaths remain in a state that can be called perfect. Hold it with a sword belt and carry it on your back to convey the weight you are familiar with as soon as possible. Place the "neck hunting" sword on your hips and fix the dagger on the back of your hips to get you fully prepared.

Yes, I'm perfectly ready.

"... well, this is it."

It's completely armed, like when you go to Laval Waste City to be asked to be an adventurer. However, despite this state, the revulsion tension is not high. Instead, Eliza, who was looking at it, tilted her neck in a lower tone than usual.

"What's wrong with you? I can't believe I'm not feeling well...."

"It's not like that... I was just thinking about what kind of opponent to fight."

That's the answer, Reurus, but I wasn't really thinking about that.

Today is the day Natalia talks about a “mock fight.” That's why Reurus, who ate his meal, had been armed since the morning, but he didn't like it.

It's not that I'm feeling ill, it's not that I'm nervous. It's not that I don't have enough magic, and I'm not worried about anything.

It's not like there's nothing to think about being fought as an arm's length test, but I was worried about whether I could edge it. However, if you believe Natalia's words, you may be able to use them quite a bit.

In that case, I thought positively that I might not have to think about edging. There is no need to think about edging, and there is also the possibility of losing easily.

(I know it's necessary for the independence of the abandoned city of Laval...)

To make Natalia's dreams come true, so that her friends in the abandoned city of Laval can lead a “normal life”. There are some things that excite me, but I'm really not comfortable fighting someone I don't know about at the moment.

While tilting his neck to see why, Reurus headed to Natalia, who was ready to leave.

Reurus and the others are heading north of King's Landing. To meet the desire of the “opponent" to see Reurus's skill, there is no way to swing the sword around town.

Fighting in the garden of a noble-owned mansion is a narrow battle for those who can use magic, and there is a danger of damage to the surrounding area.

So it was Natalia's request to borrow a part of the training ground and get it all out of hand.

There is also the appearance of Collard as an emperor to travel by carriage to the training ground. Eliza and the others accompanied him, but they were all armed as adventurers, even though Reurus was the only one to fight.

I have already received the clothes I ordered the other day and they are loaded in a carriage. Natalia said that there would be an appearance after a mock fight, but as a realuse, she didn't ask for details because she was more conscious of the previous battle.

Gilba hasn't followed me. This time, the situation is the only one. I live in the abandoned city of Laval, but Zilba, who belongs to the spiritualism, cannot accompany me.

"Looks like you're ready... Reurus?

Natalia nodded at the look of Reurus coming out of the rented house, but looked at Reurus's face and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Hmm? What's the matter, Sebastian? Anything wrong?

"That's our dialogue... but I'm not feeling well... Something bothering you? My face is stiff."

That said, Reurus touched his face, but his expression didn't seem hard enough to be aware of it.

"I was told something similar by Eliza. I'm not conscious, but are you nervous?

You may be nervous in your mind and body just because you're not aware of it. Natalia looked strange to Reurus, who laughed bitterly.

"... you're nervous too."

"No, Miss Takashi? When you say that with such a strange face, it really hurts or is it depressed...."

Natalia's voice was unusual and close to plain, even though she thought she was a nervous creature. However, in retrospect, it is a revulsion that does not seem to have scarce opportunities for tension these days.

"It's Reurus...."

That's how he talked to Natalia, and Collard, sitting on the podium, called out. The face somehow has a strange calm, and there are no signs of tiredness seeping out of the body.

"I followed my hand, but I didn't know who I was dealing with this time. But as far as I can tell, the opponent is either a leader or someone in the national army... and if I advise you on that, it's okay to fight with the intention of killing."

"I appreciate your advice, but don't you look strangely refreshed?

"It's my fault."

"Really... what's wrong with you fighting to kill me?

If Kohllard is bothered, it must be a mistake. Reurus, who decided to think like that, asks with the intention of confirming.

"I guess, no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to lose to you. Even if you fight to the best of your ability... no, you should think that there is a good chance that someone will pull your best."

"That said... I'm a leader of the National Army and I don't know anyone, so I can't imagine what kind of opponent I'm dealing with. Are you stronger than Mr. Collard? Then I can fight with all my might."

I may feel it on my skin if I actually face it, but I can't say anything at the moment. For this reason, Reurus pulls Collard in front of him.

"Reurus... because of your mind, I feel that you have a high opinion of me..."

…… Doesn't that make sense?

Even if they say you can fight with the intention of killing, you will not leave the realm of simulation. In that case, I don't know any more powerful opponents than Collard as a Reurus.

If you're stronger than Collard, you don't have to worry about edging. It's not a “real battle”, but it seems to improve my mood considerably.

"If Mr. Collard says that, there's going to be quite a lot of people out there... and we're going to enjoy opening the lid."

With those words, Reurus and the others embarked on a carriage.

The training ground that arrived is not as wide as in King's Landing. Of course, it is large if you think it exists in the King's City, but in the memory of the previous life, the school grounds are about two to three wide.

It seems that full-scale training takes place outside the King's City, and it was not seen on the way to the King's City, but there is a large training ground when you leave the King's City and head north.

As in this case, it seems that it is intended for use by individuals, a small number of people, or a few dozen people, and in some cases it is also used in duels.

With that explanation from Collard, Reurus and the others arrive at the training ground. The training ground was surrounded by stone walls of about two metres, and soldiers were seen standing guard to manage the training ground.

Soldiers rush in when approaching by carriage, but Collard immediately releases them when he tells them what to do. As he advanced into the training ground, he saw several carriages in the distance.

"... you're ahead of schedule. We should have arrived in time....."

Natalia murmurs as she looks at one of several carriages.

It is not like connecting a horse to a front carriage like the Reurus rode on, but it is a fine carriage from the side.

There will probably be more people in the front carriage of Reurus and the others, but there are still four carriages that are likely to fit in.

Full of sturdy wood, crafted in gold and silver, the top of the carriage is engraved with a family crest.

Even from Reurus, who is not familiar with the carriage, it seemed obviously expensive. Alternatively, nobility may make you do so.

When the carriage in which Reurus and the others were riding stopped, Natalia opened the door of the carriage that she was looking at. And it was a man who came out.

In my mid-40s, I guess. The red hair that had begun to fade slightly was put together in an all-back, and although her face was rugged, it was well prepared to make her think that she was a colored man when she was young.

There are deep wrinkles between the eyebrows, whether due to personality or age, and narrow, yellow-colored eyes are pointed at the reuses.

(... hmm? Hmm?)

Reus, who saw the man's face, unexpectedly stared at him. Definitely the first person to see it, but somehow I learned to catch it.

(What's that...? I saw it somewhere... no, it looks like someone else...)

Reurus sees a man's face, confused by the question that comes to mind. I looked at Eliza and the others, but they didn't seem to care about anything. Natalia and Collard looked calm.

It's because of your mind, no, but Reurus is bothering your head. I checked the man's face from afar, but there was no clear answer to what I remembered because of the discomfort.

(Is it because of your mind...?

As Natalia told me, I may be nervous.

Reurus, who concluded so, smiled bitterly and jumped off the carriage.
