A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Mataroi, a great power in the northwestern part of the Caldeba continent.

The Reurus, who had returned to the abandoned city of Laval from the king's capital of Rovama, were about to break up and return to their homes to heal the tiredness of their journey.

However, Reurus and the others have left their home keys in Corona, so they won't be able to leave soon. As a result, he appeared at Dominic's restaurant as a return greeting, and involved the adventurers and town residents who were in the shop, and the banquet collapsed.

The time is already past evening, and the shop is full of people who eat. Still, I was delighted to see the Reurus coming back for the first time in about a month.

"Wow... Natalia really became a baron..."

The return greeting also tells what happened in King's Landing, and Corona leaks a voice that looks like she was admired.

In the hands of such a corona was a souvenir bought by Reurus in King's Landing. When I walked around King's Landing, I bought hair accessories.

Because corona is reluctant if it is too expensive, the hair accessories are made of glamorous silver that was sold at an affordable price. I don't even know the name, but I thought it would suit me if I kept the corona.

I also buy souvenirs from Dominic, but these are spices that I bought at the market. The variety of flavors increased when used for cooking, and I bought it not only because of the reuse, but also because the shop users were happy.

"With me, I wonder if Sarah's daughter and Neddy's daughter“ publicized ”spirits... they finally fell apart."

Nicolas says blurry as he eats the stir-fried meat made from the spices brought home by Reurus. Next to him was Sharon, who nodded to agree with Nicolas.

"I agree with my brother. Though rumors are spreading, spirituals may come to town. Gilba and Esther are still in trouble for other servants."

Nicolas and Sharon complain of the fear that the leftovers will enter the town, but many people nod whether the others around them agreed or not.

However, there was no disagreement with Sharon's later remarks as to whether Zilba and Esther were also being accepted in the Laval Waste City.

"That said, when this town becomes independent, it will have more opportunities to deal with the rest of the population. Do you reject all of that?

"Oni-san...."

Dominic murmured when he heard Reurus and the others talking. His hand had a basin on top of which was a meal for the Reurus.

"You've heard from Bartolo, haven't you? For the sake of the people of this town, Natalia was desperate to grasp it. I think Reurus, who helped me with that, almost died many times. You're wasting that effort?

"Here, I'm not dying on this trip...."

Dominique defends Natalia because she knew her identity from the beginning. However, as for Reus, there was a part that I wanted to protest a little bit, so I whispered.

I am safe because I am not dying in a mock battle against Bernard.

"I don't mean that...."

"Yeah... and Reurus, you should look back and say" up until now. ”

Sharon turned to Jito's eyes and Reurus diverted his attention. But I sneak up on Nicolas.

(Hmm... it looks like the Marquis of Grimer after all...)

When I saw the Marquis de Grimar face-to-face in King's Landing, it looked like Nicolas - to be precise, “Nicolas.”

The difference between men and women or Sharon is not so similar, but I am sure I feel the shadow. But Nicolas is certainly alike. Of course not two melons, but the overall look of the face resembles the Marquis de Grimer.

(... but, well, isn't that a good question to ask here?)

I wonder if there are any circumstances, and Reurus decides to ask again at a later date. And he waved another topic to hide the determination.

"Senpai, did you know that Sarah and Neddy are spirits..."

After all, Sarah and Neddy explained that they were the wizards they picked up on their trip.

In response to Reurus asking with such intent, Nicolas had an astonishing look.

"You... did you really think you could hide it? Sarah's girlfriend was a spiritual girl all the time."

And every time, Eliza was flying and forcibly deceiving her - but unfortunately, she didn't.

That just doesn't seem so convenient. But then why didn't you confirm it?

"Well, the people in town are trying to hide it, and the spirits aren't making any noise... Sarah's daughter accepted it as a fellow town girl in the first place, and Neddy's daughter saved the town's water shortage. There's no one who can easily say it's a spirit."

"Senpai Nicola...."

When Nicolas spoke with a bitter smile, Reurus gave a moving voice.

"Everyone used to know what kind of people Reurus would take home every time he went on a trip."

"Senpai Nicola...."

Speaking of Sharon's words as he opened his cold eyes to Nicolas, Reurus's voice tone also changed correspondingly.

After learning about the bet, I chased all the participants except Corona, but I didn't know that the bet included information about spirits.

After seeing Reurus and Sharon react, Nicolas coughs up once and then turns her back on the story.

"Don't worry about what happened... of course, not everyone in town knows. But... whatever Sarah's daughter is, Neddy's daughter can't be deceived. It's like manipulating a water vein in that strange atmosphere away from you. I don't think he's just a human being."

"Eh? Senpai, what about me? Hey, what about me?

Listening to Nicolas, Sarah eats strangely. Apparently I was concerned about the difference in treatment with Neddy.

"... to be honest, most people thought the story Reurus was telling the truth. If Jilba's husband hadn't followed him, he might have thought Neddy's daughter was the spirit."

"Ah... Gilba-san..."

Gilba was also alert, but the abandoned city of Laval was not so wide. Reurus was convinced where he had been asked.

Of course, it seems unknown about the “worship” that Zilba does.

"Er... I don't care how you look at me, Spirit? Hey, hey!

Sarah pulls Nicolas' clothes like that and squeezes waste, but Nicolas nods back with a warm smile.

"Ah, yeah, you're a real spirit."

The tone and tone of voice were pleasant to the toddler. But Sarah was convinced, and she smiled back.

"Well, that's why I don't care about spirits. But hey...."

As a surprise, Nicolas's expression clouded. Then he puts the wooden glass at hand in his mouth and drinks the liquid that he thinks is alcohol.

"Leave aside the stories about spirituality, spiritualism, and leftovers... How does this town feel independently...?"

Nicolas lost her sight with a serious expression. Reurus wonders what kind of words will come out, and eats the salt soup Dominic brought him.

Nicolas, who had been searching for words for a while, eventually smiled bitterly as if in trouble.

"I don't know if most people don't really feel it... but“ environmental change ”is that big?

The words had a strange sense of reality.

…………

Next to Nicolas, Sharon leans to drink silently. Reurus noticed that the eyebrow roots were slightly closer together, with a scarce expression as usual.

"Reurus, from where you were born... ah, no, nothing. It didn't apply to you... forget it."

Nicolas said that and muddy words, but Reurus figured out what Nicolas was trying to say.

In the case of Reurus, although he “migrated” from the village of Shena, where he was born, to the abandoned city of Laval, there are no shards of his hometown. Even if I heard that Shena Village was attacked and destroyed by a powerful monster, I was confident that the dust would not upset me.

"Anyway... you're right, I'm not complaining about what you did. Most people think it's a good story. But it's impossible for everyone to agree wholeheartedly, and how long does it take to get a sense of reality....."

There is nothing to complain about the independence of the abandoned city of Laval. Natalia's rule as a baron is not a problem either.

Like the inhabitants of Laval, right next to the abandoned city of Laval, a “normal” life awaits. Not knowing when a powerful monster will attack and kill you is a abandoned city, and there will be “few” residents who are not happy to get out of such an environment.

Yes - never zero.

Anyone who is confused about changing the environment is bound to come out.

We need to develop the territory that Natalia has gained and build our own town, but that will be a big change compared to "so far.”

Well, there was a voice that was just behind Reurus' head.

"... I wonder how things are changing..."

It was Tony, the gatekeeper, who saw the messenger sent by the Count of Werg, who was then a Vicomte.

The murmur seemed so emotional that it remained firmly in Reurus' memory.

(I see... "Change” is not necessarily good.)

With that in mind, Reurus drank the salt soup at hand.

--It is salt soup that seems to be as delicious as ever, but compared to usual, it tasted strangely thin.
