A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Two days after the party at the Marquis de Grimer residence.

Ready to return to the abandoned city of Laval, Reurus gathered in front of the front door of the rental house in the same way that he did when he came to King's Landing.

After nearly three weeks in King's Landing, you will return to the abandoned city of Laval. The winter will be real soon, so if you don't come back before that, the journey will be hard.

"You didn't forget anything, did you?

"It's all loaded, and I checked it twice. It's all right, Sebastian."

As with the way to, most of the luggage is loaded in a carriage and is checked properly inside the rental house. It would be avoidable to pretend to leave things behind and go home on a trip.

I've already paid for the house I rented, and all I have to do is travel.

"I'm getting used to living here... Natalia, aren't you going to buy this house?

She spent nearly three weeks, and Sarah muttered somewhat unfortunately. Compared to “home”, it was spacious and equipped with kitchen, bath, furniture, etc., so it would be a shame to leave.

"That's impossible, so just be patient. If the territory is successfully developed and we can afford it, we'll need to build an information-gathering detachment in King's Landing... but that's still a long way off."

Natalia laughed bitterly at Sarah's murmuring.

"It's hard just to get people to manage the Mansion and gather and transport information. We can use it as a place to stay when people from our house come to King's Landing, but we don't need it for the time being, so it's a low priority."

"Hmm, I wonder... uhh"

Sarah nodded as if she was convinced by Natalia's words, but suddenly she said something she didn't like. The line of sight is directed out of the rental house, and Reurus also looks at something.

And I accidentally leaked the same voice as Sarah.

"Nice weather, everyone. It is a perfect day to travel. Is this also the protection of the Spirit?

There was Sofia, a person who smiled and approached with such words in his mouth.

I haven't seen Sofia since the "Spirit Man" riot. That being said, Reurus revealed his vigilance to Sofia, who appeared just before the trip.

"Daily routine” was good. Isn't it? Sofia "

"Ahahah, if that's what Natalia says, I'm sure it is."

Elsewhere, Natalia talks to Sofia in a light tone with a vigilant Reurus. Sofia laughed and replied in a light tone, but the smile was very similar to Esther because she was only a sister.

…………

But just because it resembles Esther doesn't mean I can't be alarmed. When Reurus looked around silently, there was Gilba, who was equally alert to the surroundings.

Sophia's eyes hang when she notices it.

"Hey, those two over there? What's the reaction? Isn't that rude?

"Even if people suddenly say 'Spirit Man' or rude..."

"I don't know where it's going to happen."

Despite Sofia's protests, Reurus and Gilba keep an eye on the surroundings. Sofia didn't come alone, there was no one around, and it doesn't seem like someone was lurking in the shadows.

Otherwise, Sofia would have worn a cat and made the tone seem like a spiritual teacher.

"... what happened to the" surrounding ”?

Do you not bring spirituals with you as soon as you visit King's Landing? With that intent, Reurus asks, Sofia blows small.

"If there are people around all the time, you'll lose your mind. He said he was going to work, and he came out the window, so there's nobody there."

(Is that okay, the Catholic Church...)

Reurus frowned on Sofia's unexpected behaviors and warned of the reason why she appeared here.

"Oh, by the way, you've been spreading the name 'Spirit Man' to our Reurus. Sofia, what are you doing?

Natalia asked how she had just noticed the vigilant Reus elsewhere. However, contrary to his tone of tone, his eyes were narrowed, and he would shoot through Sofia if he did not forgive the lies.

"My stupid sister is taking care of you at Natalia's, and you're moving towards independence, aren't you? It's a farewell from me."

"... goodbye, huh?"

"Sure. Whatever you do, you should have a lot of manpower.” Spirits recognized by the Catholic Church have the name 'Spirit Man'... and the devout Spirits will not leave you alone. Please treat it as a free effort. "

Sophia smiles and laughs and talks about things she doesn't think are spiritual teachers. Even Reurus, who was alert to Sofia, pulled his cheeks into that too clear remark.

When I heard that it was a town for spirits to live in, I heard that they would help me as much as possible, and Sophia laughed and said, "Gilba is starting to leak a lethal air.

Speaking of extra things, an unprecedented incident of spirituals killing spiritual teachers in King's Landing is likely to happen. Did Sofia feel that, too? She erases the smile that had been on her face until now and makes a serious expression.

"It may be troublesome, but it would be great to have the help of spirituals, right? Free labor is 30% a joke, but if there is“ something ”, information will come from spirituals in Mataroi.

"Thirty percent... what about the other 70 percent? Really?"

It's an unexpected recoil, but Sofia interacts with Natalia as if she didn't hear it.

"As it stands, I'm sure there's a shortage of such personnel... I'll take it. However, please do not cause too much trouble to us."

"I know. If there's anything I can do, I'll get in touch with you... well, speaking of Reurus."

However, in the middle of the conversation, Sofia's spearhead turned towards Reus. Sophia puts her hand in her pocket and pulls out a book.

Yes, this is a nuisance fee.

Sofia throws the book and grabs it in the air. I looked at what I was going to do, but nothing was written on the cover.

"What is it, me...."

"Hmm? It's a book I wrote about spiritualism. I'm glad you studied as well as the name" Spirit Man. "

"... can I burn it?

When Reurus murmurs, Sarah brightens her eyes and creates a flame from her palm. Neddy, who saw it, silently produced a ball of water from his palm, probably to prevent it from spreading.

"I'm kidding. I'm kidding. You want to know about the" contract "with the Spirit? I wrote down as much information as I could, so you can read it if you like."

"... 'Contract'? What are you talking about?

The reaction of Reurus was slightly delayed by very natural words. But ignoring such Reurus's words, Sofia turns to Zilba.

"Even so, Mr. Gilba, you will lick me as much as you want. You might have chosen someone with a hard mouth, but you wouldn't have noticed if you were investigating things in the cathedral. Or was it meant to make me realize?

"Well, what is it?

Unlike Reurus, Gilba smiles instantly. It was a transformation that I didn't think I'd let go of until now.

While listening to the exchange between Sofia and Zilba, Reurus opens the handed book.

(I can read it anywhere, but there are many words I don't know....)

Previously, Eliza taught me that it was possible to read and write at a minimum. However, with that amount of knowledge, strange words are insane in writing.

"I don't mind burning it when I'm done reading... no, I'd rather you burned it. And if you can, please don't touch the contents.

"... is it really okay to read this?

Isn't it a disturbing book that you can't be sane after reading? Sofia smiled deeply at the fearful Reurus.

"It's okay now, so it's okay... maybe"

Sofia, who answered, bows to Natalia.

Now, if you'll excuse me, Baron Amondola.

Yes, I'll see you again, Marquis Farnes.

Lastly, politeness was repaired and Sophia left shortly after Reurus stopped.

When Sofia left, Reurus again lost sight of the book in his hand.

(Is it really okay to read it?

Reurus warns against magic in "Magic Letters", curses in this world, and harsh Nanica that can shatter your sanity.

Still, if it really contains information about the Contract, it will need to be properly interpreted.

(He left the last and most outrageous bomb...)

The other day about the "Spirit Man", too, but I get the strange impression of a tight hug.

As a spiritual teacher, as a marquis, and as an individual Sofia. All the boundaries were blurred, and Sofia did not know her purpose or her “true character.”

Reurus shook her head when she was a woman who couldn't read in a different way than Natalia.

(In the meantime, why don't you just read it where you can read it... and check with Eliza later if you don't know...)

If that's still impossible, let Natalia read it.

With that in mind, Reurus starts walking along with the moving carriage.

And for the time being - if you succeed, you will continue in the king's capital, which may not be visited for the rest of your life.

As usual, it is crowded with many people, but as the carriage approaches, it quickly paves the way as it gets used to it. For the people of King's Landing, carriages and other carriages that go down the road are everyday chaos.

As you proceed like this, you can see the south gate of King's Landing. Like the Reus, they were lined up with men who tried to go out of the king's capital, soldiers who went on patrols, and so forth, but they did not line up as they did when they entered the king's capital, and tried to leave the king's capital.

(... hmm?

He felt his gaze unexpectedly, and Reurus looked over his shoulder. I didn't feel killing or magic, but I felt somebody watching me.

Looking back in that way, I saw a carriage parked on the shoulder of the road in the distance. No family prints were found, and the person on the cloth hanging at the window could not be identified.

As a result, Reurus turns his gaze back to the front and walks unaware.

However, I stopped at the castle gate and sighed and scratched my head - I raised my left hand slightly and shook it.

If it was a mistake, that's fine. This world, this time of year, we may never see each other again.

For this reason, Reus waved his hand with the words "as I was told" and "goodbye".

"Hmm? What's wrong?

"No... nothing"

Eliza looked strangely at Reurus when she stopped her feet. Answer to deceive it, and then Reurus walks out again.

--Reurus never looked back until he left King's Landing.
