A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 353: The Distance Difference

The party at the Marquis de Grimar's mansion proceeded unharmed.

From Marquis Grimer's introduction, Louis succeeded the Governor and became the Lord, and the Count of Werg became the Count of Werg.

Natalia became a baron and was welcomed as a member of the aristocracy of Mataroi.

Collard became a Baron and will continue to act under Natalia's guidance.

There will be no particular problems with Louis and Natalia, but it has been announced that Collard can be followed under Natalia.

It declares that Natalia is behind Collard and deters him from doing extra imitations.

Collard was used by various nobles, but from now on he will become a quasi-bar rather than a knight. As before, I couldn't bear to be asked for “consultation” from around here.

However, Natalia, who has just become a baron, will also know a lot about Collard's back.

Still, in addition to Natalia's own martial name, there is a power called Reurus who fought well against Bernard, holding two spirits. Whoever takes a sweet look at it and imitates it in a circumstantial manner will suffer a commensurate amount of pain.

So, when Marquis Grimer finishes his “introduction," he enters the party. This opportunity was not in Reurus' memory, including in his previous life, and Reurus decided to take Eliza and the others to the corner of the venue.

(Why do so many people come to me...)

While assisting Sarah and Neddy, Reurus was trying to flatten the dishes from one end to the other in the corner of the venue, but many people spoke against expectations.

So did Ellio earlier, but apparently a few knights he knew at the Marquis de Grimer were also called, and he talked interestingly.

"I see, you're... young, as I've heard rumors."

"I thought the adventurer was just fighting the monster, but he and the Bernard crossed each other... and there was someone unexpectedly despised."

"Are you going to join the National Army? If you're willing to do that, I'll recommend you to the second magician squad I'm in.

Each was wearing a tuxedo, but surrounded by men who could tell from above that they were well trained, Reurus had the feather of a troublesome smile.

Fortunately for Reurus, the men's attitude was favourable. Some of them were recruiting to the National Army, and I was saddened by the impact of the “incident the other day”.

"I appreciate the story, but I can't say anything about it without asking Baron Amondola... and when I fought Mr. Bernard, I was defeated without really drawing attention to each other."

You can't deny that you don't like Natalia from the front, but you can bring Natalia out and roll it into smoke. While trying to extinguish rumors that Bernard and I fought each other, the knights nodded with a man's smile.

"Hmm... powerful people often grow, but they're self-control that's not commensurate with their youth."

"Adventurers are all inferior to recruits, but now they have to change their perception."

"Indeed. Chronicity and carelessness are forbidden until we know where the strong are. I have to warn my men....."

(Why are these people so favorable...)

The rhetoric and attitude of the knights can only deepen the confusion as a revus. It's not disgusting or anything, it's like I'm really impressed with what Reurus is saying.

I don't have time to eat any more food than you talk to me like that. I'd rather eat a meal than talk about it, but I couldn't ignore it.

Behind such a revulsion, Sarah's nose was high and she flirted with her hands on her hips, but Eliza immediately stopped her.

There was a chaotic situation in the surroundings where people who thought they believed in spiritualism were surrounding Eliza and offering prayers.

As Reurus talks to the knights with a smile of affection, Bernard approaches without alarm. Compared to those around me, I wore a broken dress, but the atmosphere of the person also suited me strangely.

As Bernard approached, the knights who had spoken to Reurus before thanked him in a hurry and distanced themselves from the scene. Apparently Bernard is afraid of his strength.

Since the other day.

"Mr. Bernard...."

Reurus looks at Bernard in trouble. Bernard felt uncomfortable when he was rumored to have fought against each other.

But Bernard smiles happily somewhere.

"What's wrong? I don't know if anyone who fought against me was that weak.

Reurus' cheeks were drawn to Bernard, who asked in a funny tone.

"That being said... wouldn't it be a problem if Bernard told me that he and the Adventurer were each other?

"If you believe that rumor and are alarmed, it's not worth paying attention because you're going to die in one blow. Besides, is it true that we fought each other temporarily, even though it was a mock battle?

Kukuku, speaking with a smile, Bernard and Reurus lost their words.

(Goddamn it... what was the rumor you said about "this”...)

Indeed, as Bernard said, in the context of mock warfare, we could say that we were able to cross each other to some extent. However, if they had killed each other with all their might, the difference in skill was so clear that they wondered whether there was a chance of winning.

Still, it is not a thankful story for Reurus to be rumored to be in opposite directions with Bernard. Worried about what to do about it, Bernard whispered so that only Reurus could hear it.

"This is a farewell to her... to Natalia. It will also help in the territory that he will rule."

"... if I was to bring you in, I would have to nod."

Reurus also understands that things are going to be tough. Besides, I have to nod as a Reurus who intends to cooperate as much as possible.

"Then nod. No matter how well you rule, there are people everywhere who dress up as bandits, but if you find out that there are people who are“ troublesome, "it will be difficult for bandits to get close."

"That kind of rumor is going to come out of my heart....."

"Is that a scratchy balls?

Simulation, Bernard says, sees through his sword and spear once and for all. Reurus smiled bitterly at the questionable but convincing words.

"Well... that's true."

Say it yourself, I thought it was a suspicious place to really remember the hard work as a revulsion.

If such rumors lead to deterrence, it is not hesitant to accept them.

Nevertheless, Reurus closed his eyes and remembered the battle with Bernard the other day.

Bernard has performed various tactics called small moves and overwhelmed the battle from the front. The abundance of battle experience, the strength of magic, the skill, all outweighed the revus.

If you think about them, there are some rumors that they are mutually reinforcing, even though they are part of a mock battle.

"--I 'll work hard to make the rumors come true."

"--Try it, kid."

Bernard responded with a fierce laugh to Reurus, who told him to challenge him.

I don't know how many years it will take and I don't know if it will arrive, but Reus thought it was worth the challenge.

Bernard looks back at Reurus from a straight line of sight and turns his back on a small, broken face.

"But you can't wait that long? I'm old, too. Come and try as soon as you can."

That's what Bernard leaves behind, satisfied. Reurus, who had dropped off Bernard's back, murmured softly.

"He'll definitely live another 50 years...."

The age of Bernard from the eyes of Reurus is probably in his mid-40s. In this world, we are already in the middle of an old age, but Bernard seems to be living flat beyond a hundred years of age.

Reurus, who felt the lack of understanding, smiled bitterly without knowing.

(In the end, I won't be able to win until the end, but I've reached the end of my life first... what a joke!)

Regardless of appearance, "real age” is about the same age. Reurus wanted to try to make it happen sooner than he declared in front of Bernard.

The knights and Bernard were gone, and the Reurus finally released looked around.

Natalia is laughing with people who are wearing luxurious clothes besides the Marquis of Grimer, Louis and Collard, and will not return for the time being.

A short distance from the Natalians, Ruvillia followed Sebastian and Anemone behind her back and laughed at those around her.

Around Ruvillia are men and women of similar age. As a percentage, there were more men, five men and three women, and they interacted with Ruvillia.

Ruvillia smiled at the people around her, but it was Reurus's illusion that her smile seemed somewhat shady. Depending on who sees it, it will look more distressing than shade.

…………

Seeing such Ruvillia's expression, Reurus scratches his head silently. Eliza, who was supposed to be taking care of Sarah, called out.

"Reurus....."

"... hmm? What's the matter with you?

Reurus frowned at Eliza for something. Also, thinking that Sarah had done something, she looked sideways and nodded suddenly after eating the meat dishes on the table.

Next to that, Neddy was cheeking on the fruit, and Mea was worthy of wiping Sarah and Neddy around her mouth with a cloth.

It is a realuse that sees Sarah and Neddy and decides not to see anyone praying so thankfully.

Reurus, who decided there was nothing wrong for the time being, turned to Eliza properly. He slightly bent his knees and raised his gaze, tilting his neck to prompt him to speak.

"Just now... what about Ruvillia..."

What came out of Eliza's mouth was about Ruvillia's “earlier” attitude. Eliza, who was ripping off Sarah when she held Ruville, seemed to be watching Ruvillia's expression and attitude.

Eliza stares straight at the Reurus and opens and closes her mouth several times. It seemed like I tried to ask something that was difficult to ask, but after about ten seconds, I shook my neck sideways.

"... yeah. I knew it was nothing."

Eliza murmured in a “vegetarian” tone. Reurus, who felt the complex emotional color of his voice, raised his eyebrows small.

"... is that so?

"Mmm...."

Obviously nothing, Reurus smiled at Eliza's intentions.

"Okay... then I'll have dinner. It's a corner party."

"Hmm... puuuuuu? I'll see you later."

Responding to Reurus' words, Eliza also broke her face. Born into a “decent house”, though not aristocratic, Eliza was kicked out of her hometown when she was a child, so she never went to a party this big.

So I decided to have a good time and started eating the dishes at the nearby table with Reurus.

――――

Ruvillia stared at the Reurus.
