A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 352: Overlapping Coincidences

For Sarah, the party at the Marquis de Grimer villa was not particularly interesting.

I'm not particularly interested in what Ellio said the other day when he was defeated in the fight against Reurus. If Bernard had spoken, he might have been intrigued by the fact that Reurus was defeated “with all his might”.

But it was Elio who actually talked to her, and Sarah was not attracted to observing her surroundings.

The cuisine placed on the table is diverse and crowded. Besides, some of them offered compliments to Sarah and Neddy, but none of them attracted particular interest.

If there is one of them that attracts attention, it is like cooking on a table. The Marquis Grimer arranged it so that it seemed to be more luxurious than what the Reurus people usually eat, and it took time to cook each dish.

But Sarah thought it wasn't enough. Everything is delicious, but the dishes prepared at the table are not satisfactory.

Fufu, her nose snorted and Sarah thought.

(Isn't that right? We need to cook Dominic's meat or bake it more lavishly!

Sarah recognizes that Reurus particularly likes baked meat or Dominic dishes - especially salt soups.

As a result, I felt good about the many dishes lined up on the table.

But it's like a waste of time. It doesn't matter to Sarah, but I heard that we all need to participate in this party, and I'm here wearing a "Spirit Proof" that I don't want to wear.

― ― Can Reurus finish his conversation with Ellio and get on with it?

That's all Sarah was thinking. Eliza was also there as Lewis's assistant, and Neddy didn't want to take the initiative because she didn't agree.

Then I thought I'd play with Meer, but she seemed nervous as to whether she was under pressure to be here.

It was boring to wait like this, and Sarah started thinking about climbing on Reurus's back, but she found a face she saw in the distance that sparkled her expression.

The person, Luviria, also noticed Sarah, precisely Reurus, and his expression sparkled.

“At this time," if Ruvillia had reacted differently, Sarah would not have moved. It must have been very quiet because it was also mentioned in Reurus and Natalia.

However, Sarah smiled and embraced Ruvillia, who walked along with her cherry blossom colored cheeks, and saw her approaching with her feet so quick that she thought she was a little worthy as a noble daughter.

It's been a while since we met again. Sarah thought that if the other person approached “in a good mood," she would have no problem doing so herself.

"It's not Ruville! Hello! How are you?

Sarah asks with a smile as she hugs her.

Even if a stranger approached in a good mood, he wouldn't do this. Instead, we just watch out for the “Spirit of Reurus”.

However, the opponent was Ruvillia, who travelled together for two and a half months. Reurus, Eliza, Meer, and Neddy fell a few steps down compared to her family, but Sarah would be delighted to see her for the first time in a long time.

--I 'm talking about something.

If Ruvillia hadn't only seen Reurus at this time.

If Sarah hadn't been aware of Ruvillia at this time.

If only someone could stop Sarah at this time.

Several coincidences had changed the situation.

Louis, who was with Ruvillia, and Sebastian and Anemone, who accompanied him as escort and attendant, also stopped acting because the other party was Sarah.

The fact that Sarah was recognized by the Spirit in the Catholic Church comes to my ears even if I don't want to be in the King's City now. In addition, Sarah was accompanying Ruvillia on her healing journey, which she was unable to stop because of the lack of hostility.

"Sarah..."

Meanwhile, Ruvillia was struggling with what she called a reaction to Sarah, who was holding her waist with a smile on her face.

Speaking “officially”, Ruvillia, the daughter of nobility, is superior. However, in Mataroi, where spiritualism permeates, the existence of spirits is by no means inferior to that of nobility. That's why I got a little confused about how to call it in public.

While doing so, Reurus, who Elio pointed out Sarah's behavior, returned to me.

(If you think about what Sarah's doing... there's no way she's suddenly hugging someone she doesn't know. I'm glad the opponent is still Mr. Ruvillia.... n)

In the meantime, it was a revulsion that approached Ruvillia while thinking about ripping Sarah off, but when Ruvillia and I met, they would tilt their necks inside.

Ah...

A slight leak of Ruvillia's voice. The open eyes are filled with surprises and intense joy, and the cherry-colored cheeks increase their intensity.

Next, Ruvillia's expression shaped nature and smiles. It is a smile with a definite fever that reveals the delight of the heart, as if the flowers were loose.

"Reurus..."

“That's why” the moment he saw the change, smiling and moving with a smile around Ruvillia's mouth, Reurus was moving.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ruvillia."

"Huh?"

Reurus thanked her and sent an eye contact to Eliza. Eliza nodded back and immediately pulled Sarah away from Ruvillia.

"I'm sorry, Count Werg. I apologize."

Reurus lowered his head against Lewis. If you don't have eyes around you in a secret room, there are many people here.

The trouble immediately after Natalia was recognized as a baron is not good. Lewis answers with a smile to Reurus, who apologizes for judgment.

"... there's no way that the Spirit can be angry with you for being close to her own sister. It sounds like a surprise to me that things suddenly turned bright red, but I'd rather be honored... hey, Ruvillia?

"... yes"

It was Louis who said that he didn't care about Sarah's behavior as if he were listening to the surroundings, but whether it was a shock for Louis or whether he thought about something was slower than usual.

"It would be helpful if you could say so. And congratulations on being late. I heard from Baron Amendura that he became lord and countess."

"Thank you, Mr. Reurus. I heard about you, too. Everything crossed the border with that Bernard."

"The word" mutually reinforcing "has its disadvantages... it was our complete defeat. I just studied a lot."

"Hahaha, it would be great if you could say that to the Heavenly Thunder."

Reurus responds with a more intimidating tone than usual, and Louis talks to friends. By the side of Louis, Ruvillia was squeezing the hem of the light peach dress, but Reurus tried not to see it.

"Well then, excuse us. I have to say hello to the Marquis de Grimer."

Those are Louis who are about to walk away from Reurus. Reurus responded with gratitude - as he raised his face, Ruvillia and his gaze collided.

――――

Reurus looked silently back at Ruvillia.

However, it was judged that looking at each other could lead to misunderstandings from the surroundings, and I shook my neck sideways small before losing sight.

(... that's unexpected...)

I didn't expect that “reaction” to return. I thought it might be awkward to look at her face, but Ruvillia's reaction has exceeded Reurus' expectations.

(My mistake... I wish I had...)

Reurus thinks it's not his mistake to see Ruvillia's first smile. As for the cause and effect, it seems that the thoughts that lived in Ruvillia have gained momentum rather than diminished.

(Perhaps it would have been worse if you had called me with such a smile on your face.....)

Reurus sighs in his heart and scratches his head. Ellio, who was watching how things went, opened his mouth.

"I'm surprised... Lord Reurus, are you pleading with the lord of the Count of Werg?

"I've only met you a few times before because I was close to you."

Asked if it was a favor, the answer would be poor as a realuse. That's why Ellio nodded convincingly when he told me to deceive him.

And Ellio turned to Sarah and Neddy.

"I heard a rumor, but I forgot that the two of you in the back were spirits."

"... did you forget?

"Yeah, I was just distracted to talk to the opponents who beat me!

That's what Ellio laughs at. Reurus could only laugh bitterly, but Ellio was convinced that faith did not seem serious, and that the existence of the Spirit was treated to that extent because of general sensitivity.

As Reurus nodded in his heart, Ellio slipped his gaze to see where Ruvillia had been standing.

"But what... that's the rumored Lord Ruvillia. I've heard a lot about Unicorn's" protection "and how it made my body stronger, but I'm also being loved by spirits."

(... hmm?

Reurus frowned slightly at Ellio's impressive words.

"... I ignore rumors around here, but is Ruvillia-sama famous?

"It's famous, or when you're a daughter of an aristocrat of the right age, you're looking for a bachelor or a man who wants to be“ superior "? Count Werg's sister could roll into the inheritance" if anything ”... well, that was a nasty idea. Forget it."

Ellio laughs ashamed of herself. Reurus laughed and nodded at it, just like Ellio, he turned to where Ruvillia had been.

(It's been less than three months since I got my confession, and I wonder if Ruvillia thought... if we leave King's Landing, we won't have a chance to see each other, and time will sort it out... right?

If I were to be the Count's daughter, I would have found someone to marry.

Reurus muttered and scratched his head again.
