A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Time goes back to before Reurus and the others head for the Marquis Grimer mansion.

It was a party at the Marquis de Grimar, but the fact that there were many attendees besides the aristocrats I knew meant that Reurus and the others were dressed in costumes that he bought in King's Landing.

Reurus is a tuxedo-like garment, and Eliza and the others are dressed in different colors. However, Sarah and Neddy are wearing coats and necklaces that are "proof of spirituality" given by spiritualism the other day.

Sarah and Neddy hated it, but the official venue prompted Natalia to wear it.

If you don't wear it, someone who doesn't know Sarah and Neddy directly may be in danger of causing catastrophe.

Sarah and Neddy are spirits recognized by the Catholic Church, and they even have been given the Proof of the Spirit. Even if you didn't wear the "Spirit Proof", you can't predict what kind of behavior a pious Spirit would do if they were there.

In this case, although it is unexpected as a revus, Gilba is moderate. Sarah and Neddy, who had not worn the "Spirit Proof", also had their faults, so they would just have to smile and break in.

However, Spirits aren't the only ones who “attack” spirits by sticking a letterhead saying they were disrespectful to them. Nobles who believe in spiritualism may come into their mouths with pleasure when they get the ingredients for their outfits.

For these reasons, Sarah and Neddy are dressed as spirits. Regarding Neddy, in addition to the "Spirit Proof", he wrapped the blue feather that he usually wore all the time around his neck, but Reurus thought that it would be cleared up in a kind of fashion.

"By the way, is there anything you should be aware of at that banquet?

We'll just leave when we're ready, but before we do, Reus asks Natalia. Banquets in the abandoned city of Laval are rude, but they can't be imitated in a social setting where nobles participate.

"Well... no one would make a foolish imitation in a place hosted by the Marquis de Grimal..."

As Natalia narrows her eyes as she thinks, she looks at Reurus and the others in turn. Natalia also wore a black dress as a dress, but there was little reaction from Reurus due to her usual dress.

"Sarah and Neddy's daughters will realize they're spirits from their outfits, and if they don't do something on the spot, it won't be a problem. Eliza's daughter was fine from the beginning, and Meer's daughter was quite polite. Reurus....."

Natalia said with deep emotions in her narrow eyes.

"If someone else calls, it will be fine if you respond" as far as you know ”politely. No matter how adventurous an adventurer you may be, there is no one who can make a fool of Bernard's good hands."

"Ah... in the meantime, if you use honorific words, it won't be a problem"

Feeling what Natalia's words contained, Reus nodded convincingly. At the same time, I tried to flip the memory of the previous life as much as possible, and to be courteous enough to be accepted as "courteous to the adventurer."

"And because it's going to be a public place, I'm going to be called Baron Amendora. Collard....."

Natalia cuts the words and looks at Collard in a flash. Collard, who wore the same costume as Reurus, coughed up and stretched his chest.

"Uh-oh! I call myself Collard-Bannet-Mald-Roveley... in other words, Baron Roveley!

Collard, who gained his family name by becoming a quasi-bar, said so in a satisfactory way.

The clothing Collard is wearing is a design that makes Reurus' tuxedo slightly more luxurious, and may be several steps higher in terms of quality. However, compared to the clothes worn by the Marquis of Grimer, it seemed to fall a few steps, and Reurus remembered the impression of being in the middle of nobility and “ordinary people”.

Collard has a slightly stretched outfit due to its good width, but with its appearance, the trunk is not shaken by fine dust in the back. Therefore, if anyone sees it, it will not be despised by the appearance.

And Reurus lay down such an impression and nodded many times toward Collard with his chest up.

I understand, Baron Roveley.

"I'll call you that, Baron Roveley."

"Collard is fine, Baron Roveley."

"Say, Sara-chan... Ah, that's what I call you, Baron Roveley."

"... the Baron de Roveley"

Reurus and the others call each other Collard's family name. Collard then shakes his fist slightly as he thinks he has decided to put his fist in a guts pose.

"Hmm... that sounds good to me, Baron Robery..."

Left alone, Reurus smiled bitterly at Collard, who seemed to be crying.

(I'm sure you're happy that your dreams have come true for so many years... but in Collard's case, you're just running away from reality about falling under him...)

Return to the abandoned city of Laval and you'll be waiting for everything. Reus thought he wanted you to bite the happiness of becoming a Baron until he faced the problem.

Collard looks more dreamy than I've ever seen before, but dreams are something to wake up to someday. There's no way Collard would understand that, and we should celebrate this time of year.

The ready Reurus took the carriage and headed to the Marquis Grimer mansion.

(Wow... I just got here, but I'm leaving...)

It's the Marquis Grimer villa that I've visited before, but as soon as I arrived Reus was in the mood to return to his rental.

The Marquis Grimer mansion was open and ready for the party, including the garden. A white tablecloth is laid on the table that is placed around the corner, on top of which there is a narrow line of dishes.

I can't find glasses or drinks because the ladies who are busy here and there are still traveling on the surface in a calm manner carry the maid clothes. Nearly thirty maids move around just counting, and more than twice as many people around the table are laughing with nearby people.

(It feels like a stand-up party... but I really feel like there are too many people...)

Because the party hasn't started yet, it's a sight where you don't touch the food placed on the table and gently interact with people nearby with a smile and words. It seemed calm and sometimes even laughed, but the eyes of both men and women were not laughing.

All of them had very friendly smiles, but Reurus' intuition was judged to be a fake laugh.

--Conversely, the more intuitive it is, the better it is, the more laughing it is.

The Marquis de Grimar hosts the event, and it is the responsibility of the Marquis de Grimar to ensure the safety of the venue. Therefore, it was forbidden to bring weapons, etc., and Reurus and the others came here by hand.

Nominally, it is a realuse accompanying the escort, but I tilt my neck to see if that is okay. Of course, there is a minimum amount of strength as a guard because there is enough strength to kill without a hand, even if there is no "caloric release" if there is a person in the line.

(I mean, to escort the wizard's warrior... wouldn't it be the side where we'd be protected with bare hands?)

When I get back to Laval Waste City, I'll ask Calvin to make equipment that I can use even in situations where I can't bring weapons.

The reason we're trying to escape reality is simple, because as soon as we set foot on the grounds of the Marquis de Grimar, our gaze flew from all around us.

Instead of stopping laughing, only the eyes were directed at the Reurus. The line of sight contained an exploratory color, but the line of sight was diverted in less than three seconds.

I'm not losing interest, I'm probably exploring with people around me how to speak up.

Anyway, Natalia has just become a baron and is single. If we can keep an eye on it, we may be able to take power as Natalia's husband.

Also, Natalia wasn't the only one with a strong focus on her surroundings. Sarah and Neddy also had eyes. However, the line of sight is different from that directed at Natalia.

Some of them bow with their hands on their chests, and they look at each other with interest and respect.

--And there are some exceptions.

"Hey! Isn't that Lord Reurus there?

With all the kindness of knowing about the surrounding air, there was someone who was not Natalia, Sarah, or Neddy, but who spoke brightly to Reurus.

"Ugh... are you Ellio...?

Looking back, Ellio stood there fighting the other day in a mock fight. Wearing clothes similar to Reurus, he was invited as a guest rather than as an escort to the venue, and raised his hand casually toward Reurus.

"It's been so long, it's been so long. You were here, weren't you?

"Yes... so is Ellio."

Ellio talks with a smile on her face, even though she doesn't say she met a friend unexpectedly. The smile has no evil intentions in its shards.

"Hmm? The last riot seems like a lying adult... well, this is former Captain Amedora. I'm sorry."

Elio was surprised at Reurus, but noticed that Natalia was nearby and said hello correctly.

"Congratulations to the next Naruto. I did not belong to the same unit, but I wanted to congratulate you as a knight and accepted the invitation of the Marquis de Grimer."

"Thank you, Lord Ellio... it seems that Lord Bernard is with you."

When Natalia's words caught her gaze, Bernardo stood at the edge of the venue with no magic or signs. Apparently, I don't like this kind of place.

(I don't know how many people can get rid of the magic so far... I'm afraid I won't notice.)

It's Bernardo wearing the same costume as Ellio, but there's nobody around. It is true that magic and signs are disappearing, but even if you notice it, there is no one who has the courage to approach.

"... Reurus, I'm going to greet Lord Bernard and his acquaintances."

Natalia has been watching Bernard for a few seconds, but she just walks out of here without saying she can handle it. Not long before Reurus stops, Natalia leaves clumsily, avoiding crowds.

(Even if Ellio stays with me, what's wrong...?)

Reurus sighs and kills with a groan in his heart, turning his eyes towards Ellio. Reurus thinks it's not a time for the sword and spear to interact with each other casually.

"Hmm? What's wrong?

"... no, I broke my spear, and I didn't have the opportunity to talk to the opponent I fought with once, so I got into trouble talking about it..."

Without knowing what to do, Reurus is honest. Ellio blinked his eyes as if he had been poked by falsehood.

"Hey, you're worried about something weird. It's not a fight, it's a mock fight, and there's nothing you can do about it. I would have died in battle, but I gained one experience by losing to you. [M] I mean, I could be stronger again!

(I hadn't heard that much before... but, well, you're not a bad person.)

Ellio laughed brightly as she didn't seem to care about the dust of losing. When I first met him, it was a realuse that I thought was “sharp”, but I wondered if the distance was blocked by the battle once, and Ellio's atmosphere was soft.

"By the way, Mr. Reurus. This is the girl you're taking....."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Should I introduce you to this place?

Pushed by Ellio's atmosphere, Reurus asked honestly whether it would be better to introduce Eliza and the others. It is possible that Sarah and Neddy called out because they heard that they were spirits, but Ellio did not feel such evil.

Eliza smiles and nods when she sends an eye contact to Eliza. Apparently, I should introduce you.

Reurus opened his mouth with that judgment.

"No, it's not... I'm holding your daughter, the woman who just arrived."

…………

Ellio couldn't keep up with the words he released pointing behind Reurus.

I wondered what the hell we were talking about and looked back.

What was there was the figure of Ruvillia, the woman who was about to walk toward the Reurus, and Sarah, who embraced Ruvillia with a smile.
