A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 348: The Truth of Gilba
Reurus and the others survived the disturbances at the cathedral and went back to the rental house without saying that it was useless to stay long.
Although I care about the name "Spirit Man", Sarah and Neddy didn't find it necessary to stay after receiving the "Spirit Proof".
Sofia did not stop it, nor did the spirituals in the cathedral just worship Sarah and Neddy.
"Ahh... I'm tired..."
Returning to the rented house, Reurus sat on the living room sofa after removing his armor. And he leaked a tired voice, leaking his body on his back.
"I'm tired....."
Eliza sat on the couch and exhaled just like Reurus. Sarah, Neddy, and Reurus were prominent in the cathedral, but I was mentally exhausted just to accompany them.
"I was just watching, but I guess I'm a little tired too...."
Meea murmured with a bitter smile when she saw Reurus and Eliza like that. The atmosphere of today's cathedral was so heterogeneous that he lived in a hideout until he met the Reurus.
It was the same mood as Reurus and Eliza, but there were others who didn't change.
"Hey, Gilba, where do I keep these clothes and necklaces?
"... can I put it around there?
"Proof of the Spirit" - Sarah and Neddy, who took off their necklaces and jackets, were just saying that they would never wear them again unless they were driven by necessity.
"When we get back to Laval Waste City, we should talk to Calvin and get him to build a shelf for storage. Until then, I was wondering if you could keep it the same way as the rest of the clothes."
Gilba smiles at Sarah and Neddy “as if the sword curtain at the cathedral was a lie. There is no shard in the atmosphere where Sofia bites relentlessly, and she looks kindly at Sarah and Neddy who fold the jacket with unfamiliar hands.
(I don't know if Jilba's in a good mood... He smiles, but he may be angry behind...)
Reurus steals a word from Sarah and Neddy while keeping her whole body on the sofa.
I've known Gilba for over a year, but I've been taking care of her a lot.
Though I am worried about what Sofia is thinking, Zilba's reaction, compared to the spirituals of Sofia and the Catholic Church I have not known for a long time, is still terrible as a Reurus.
"Um, Mr. Gilba? I was told earlier at the Cathedral that" Spirit Man "doesn't mean that to me... even though I usually cook meat for every Sarah I ever had, and Neddy stores me bath water..."
That's what Reurus thought.
--Isn 't this bad enough to make no excuses?
I don't intend to “use” Sarah or Neddy, but they often do.
As for Sarah, I suddenly asked for her name and thought that she had "revealed" it, but she unilaterally entered into a tentative "contract". It is now a family of Reurus who formally made a 'contract', but we really owe it to him - mainly to bake meat.
Regarding Neddy, not only Reurus, but also Laval Waste City was saved from water shortages. Besides, I usually get help to take a bath.
Looking back, I thought the name 'Spirit Man' was not always a mistake. When I was fighting Bernard the other day, it was new to my memory that I borrowed Sarah's help through the Contract.
Regardless of what he would say, he would never attack without asking questions, but when Reurus thought about it, Gilba smiled unreadable.
"Mr. Reurus, do you remember the spiritual doctrine?
"Eh? Well... while thanking spirits such as the Great Spirit, I'll feed you every day... right?
In response to a sudden question from Zilba, Reurus leaned his neck.
Sarah the Spirit of Fire, Neddy the Spirit of Water and Ice. These two attributes also lead to everyday life.
The Great Spirit Comona saves mankind, and the Spirit, which governs various attributes, is indispensable for the work of man. It is the doctrine of Spiritualism that naturally thanks the spirits.
The “world” religions known to Reurus are Spiritualism and Gregorianism, but Spiritualism is very easy to understand compared to Gregorianism.
From the former Japanese Reurus, naturally thanking is a feeling of saying "Thank you" by putting your hands together before eating, and once you have finished eating, putting your hands together again.
Although some Gregorian doctrines are too mysterious to be understood, they are very easy to grasp as a revus.
"Yeah, that's right. I'm asking you on the assumption that you understand that... Mr. Reurus is grateful to Sarah and Neddy, right?
…… Wouldn't it be natural for your family to thank you for anything you do?
Whatever you're talking about, this guy, Reurus with his eyebrows up.
Whether it's Sarah or Neddy, when Eliza taught you something, or when Meer taught you to take care of your weapons and armor, you never forget to thank her.
"That's right, it's“ natural. ”And if Mr. Reurus does something to Sarah and Neddy, he'll be thanked... he explains the importance of those interactions in his doctrine."
Gilba speaks like that, but as a revulsion, it doesn't come from the pin. Understanding is not accompanied by a sense of what is understood.
Gilba smiles and looks farther away at what she thinks of the reaction of Reurus.
"Mr. Reurus, do you remember the first time you met me?
"... I remember that."
Gilba tells me Reurus pulls out memories of the past.
The first time I saw Gilba was shortly after Eliza came to Laval Waste. When I spent time in Dominic's restaurant because I couldn't work as an adventurer because of heavy rain, it was Gilba who suddenly appeared.
Reurus also looked back at the time, wondering if he had come to convey his gratitude for the donation to the church in the abandoned city of Laval.
"I gave you the Guest ID back then... why do you think I gave it to you?
"Eh? I made a donation... right?
"Fufufu... that's true, but the truth is different."
Gilba smiled for some reason, but the smile was very warm.
"I took vegetables from the church as a thank you for the donation, do you remember what I said when I ate them on the spot?
"Er... well, I don't remember that much..."
I remember receiving vegetables and eating them, but I don't even remember what I said. So when Reus answered honestly, Gilba said with a deep smile.
"'Thank you, it was delicious. I did receive the thank you'... and you told me to tell the children of the church that. That's why I thought you deserved a spiritual guest."
Gilba murmured that she wanted the children to eat the monster's meat.
"I've heard that you grew up in an environment where you can't learn anything more than religion... Despite that birth, you acted very naturally and in accordance with the spiritual doctrine. So it's up to a human being like me to respond, right?
"... to be honest, I wasn't thinking that far."
I wanted to deny buying it, but Gilba told me to stop it.
"That's why. Human beings have real sexual roots where they are unconscious. I received it as good."
(... I feel like I've been trashed)
I am pleased with Zilba's assessment, but at the same time I am sorry. I wasn't that good a person, but I felt good about it.
Then Gilba smiles bitterly at the reaction of Reurus.
"You don't seem convinced yet... let's change the question. Suppose Sarah, Neddy, or both of you were kidnapped at the same time and threatened to abuse their power. What would Mr. Reurus do?
"I'll chop it."
"That's it."
Which one?
Reurus answered Zilba's questions without stopping, but Zilba's reaction was beyond Reurus' comprehension.
"Mr. Reurus cares about you two, and you both care about Mr. Reurus. Don't you think it's similar for people to appreciate nature and for nature to respond and bring fruit?
"Yes... what is it?
"At least I think so. And based on that, what Sofia said today..."
Until then, Jilba was talking in a calm atmosphere, but the air in her body changed rapidly.
"'Spirit Man'... I told you there was disrespect for the Spirit Man, but whether you are using the Spirit or the Spirit Man, is it inappropriate to express your relationship?
The sentiments Zilba expressed were anger. Gilba says to deny it.
"Spiritual believers can be complicated, but Mr. Reurus spends his days with Sarah and Neddy“ on an equal footing ”, caring for each other. As for those who know it, the name" Spirit Man "is totally unacceptable."
In other words, it seems that Gilba was angry at the Cathedral because he thought it was rude to the Reurus rather than the Spirit. Of course, it's a feeling because I know the usual relationship between Reurus and others, but as a Reurus, I am both surprised and happy.
"... thank you."
Reurus straightens his posture and lowers his head.
It seems that Gilba was angry only with Sofia who proposed it, not with Reurus, who was about to be awarded the rank of "Spirit Man".
Reurus, relieved and grateful, looks at Sarah and Neddy, who were listening to Zilba just like himself.
"Hmm... I didn't really get it because it was difficult!
…………
Neddy silently puts an elbow iron next to Sarah, who smiles.
Gilba smiles bitterly at Sarah and Neddy, surprisingly turning her gaze toward the entrance of the rental.
"Looks like Natalia and the others are back."
Gilba murmurs, "That's all I have to say." Reurus also explored the magic and found that there were two magic powers beside the rental house.
Natalia and Collard must have finished their errands and returned. Should I welcome you to celebrate?
Reurus stood up from the sofa and headed to the front door. However, when I crossed Gilba, the sleigh and murmur flew in a volume that I could not hear around me.
"But... if something happens that makes Sara-sama and Neddy look unhappy... you know?
Reurus, who was told by Gilba with a smile but no dust, nodded many times with his face.
