A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Natalia asked Reurus to do a “one-job", taking Eliza and the others down the road to the Veos volcano under the winter sky.

Luggage is minimal: weapons, armor, travel gear, food. Although he had always taken a carriage on his recent journey, Reurus was emotional that he had originally travelled with his luggage.

It's been a long time since Eliza, Sarah, Meer and Neddy have traveled alone, making it very easy for me to be a Reurus. It's also good to be able to move at full speed without having to worry about others.

Sarah's ability to detect and patrol heat sources makes it easy to navigate the streets.

The reason we're avoiding patrolling soldiers is simple, and we just don't want you to take the time to verify your identity. Sarah and Neddy are recognized as spirits, and Reurus is selling his name so confused that the confirmation time may be shorter, but he is doing everything he can to avoid it because it can cause trouble.

I wasn't always traveling along the street, but if Sarah sensed the heat source and the way she was moving seemed like a monster, she was heading towards you and moving along the road.

The magic used in the simulated battle against Bernard in King's Landing is still not recovering, and we are trying to recover the magic by taking out the monsters as much as possible.

However, since the monsters found are only inferior and few in number, they have only recovered about half of their depleted magic. When I checked in "Magic Stone", it was light green - assuming that the magic of the same magician was 10, only about 60 people had recovered.

As for the body feeling of Reurus, we can use 'Calorie Release' to fight for six or seven minutes. It's enough if you have a lineup of opponents, but if you have a strong opponent, it's a pretty tough amount of magic.

In this way, he travels the streets during the day, sometimes eats monsters named Dokusa, and goes on night shifts in the "station" and forest when the sun goes down.

Then, one day later, Reurus, who had travelled to the Véos volcano - to be precise, to reach the dwarf settlement at its foot - was resting in preparation for the night shift as the sun set.

All you have to do is go into the 'station' on the side of the street, surround yourself with fire and eat, and spend the rest of the night until dawn. Reurus is awake all night for sleeplessness, but unlike his usual journey, he had the ingredients at his disposal to ruin his time.

(Hmmm....)

What Reus had with him was a book handed to him by Sofia in King's Landing. Drop your gaze on paper while relying on the light of the fire, with a degree of concentration that is indispensable to your surroundings. My eyes are on the books, but my hearing is always looking for the anomalies around me.

Even if you were to be targeted by a bow or arrow from a distance, you would be very careful to pick up a wind chip and respond immediately. If you are shot by magic, you will notice it with magic, so it is easier to deal with than a bow and arrow. Even as humans approach, they will notice as they cross the 'station' fence.

"What do you say? Recently, I've been reading it every night. Do you know what it is?

Eliza, sitting next to Reurus reading a book, whispers. I felt guilty letting Reurus take care of my bedtime, so I was waking up together and watching Reurus at a distance where my shoulders touched each other.

Neddy is also sitting on the other side of the reel, lying on the ground with her eyes open and her head resting on the reel's lap.

Sarah and Meer were wrapped in a thick coat and lying quietly asleep in front of Reurus with a fire between them.

Meer hardly moves, but Sarah frequently changes her sleeping phase. As a result, Eliza occasionally rolled Sarah away from the fire to avoid contact with the fire.

"It says a lot about the contract... but it doesn't seem to contain the information I wanted."

I don't want Eliza and the others to read it because of Sofia's gesture that she might have written something she shouldn't have known. I only check with Eliza once in a while for words I don't understand, but be careful not to read the contents of the book.

Sofia's book consisted of roughly three pieces of information.

One is about the formation and doctrine of spiritualism, and it seems like a spiritual teacher if you look at this part alone.

One is information about a person who has signed a "contract" with the Spirit in the past.

And the last one is about 'contracts'.

Of these three, Reurus was interested in the information of those who had signed a "contract" with the Spirit in the past and the “magic” of a "contract".

"According to the information in this book, there are only a few people who have signed a 'contract' with the Spirit in the past, but it seems to have existed... or is it speculated that the Great Spirit Commona had a 'contract' with a human?"

"The Great Spirit Comona...?

Because Eliza wants to hear her opinions, Reurus spins his words by touching only those parts that seem good to talk about.

― ― It was written that the Great Spirit Commona had a "contract" with the "rarity".

(Is this area the same as the one I've heard from you before...)

When I told him about my previous life, Reurus groaned in his heart, remembering what Natalia was saying. It is not written whether it is a story that everyone knows if they are spirituals, or whether it is information that only “smart ears” like Natalia know.

"It's written as a speculation by Sophia, but Esther has been given the" protection "of the Great Spirit Comona, right? In other words, I was close to a human being to give him" protection "... and it seems to be speculated that he had a" contract "from there."

Though I may be able to ask Komona about it through Esther, it seems that nothing will happen if Esther says "the other party” doesn't respond. But when Esther is in danger, she helps herself.

(They take a lot of magic and say it's not easy to use... why did they call me when I first met them...)

It's a questionable revulsion, but I can't confirm it unless I get a chance to speak with Comona again. Therefore, when it is temporarily shelved, it drops its gaze on the book.

"It seems that there were some other people who had a 'contract' with the Spirit, but it seems that all of them are dead as in the past. However, it seems that the person who made the" contract "with the Spirit was good at the magic of the attributes of the Spirit....."

I have to tilt my neck as a revulsion on this point. I have a "contract" with Sarah, but Reurus is not even good at flame magic.

Now it is possible to help Sarah through the "contract" or “pull it out" like when fighting "neck hunting" or Bernard, but I can't even say that I am good at handling flame magic.

"Reurus doesn't apply...."

Eliza also leaned her head strangely, but in Sarah's case, the "manifestation" was strange before the "contract", so she didn't know whether to count it as a decent spirit.

Reus had a "contract" with Eliza, but in Sarah's case, it was initially a one-sided "contract," and if Reus died, Sarah would disappear. I didn't think it was a “real" contract, and Reurus stared at Sarah as she slept.

(As for the spirits, Sarah is more abnormal, and Neddy is more normal... but Neddy is also a bit unusual these days...)

When I first met him, I was helped to drown, and I witnessed a devotion to keeping the slime frozen for humans. I was able to accept that the figure was a spiritual being, but lately it was a little suspicious.

(It's not a bad thing...)

With that in mind, Reurus strokes Neddy's head on his lap. Then Neddy's gaze moved and looked slightly strange.

Reurus turned his attention to Eliza while answering that it was nothing.

"When it comes to that, I don't really understand the contract with Eliza either. Even though you could make a contract, and you knew how to make a contract... did your grandmother teach you?

"Hmm... in the case of a bloodsucking species, I was taught that I can 'contract' with words similar to blood and words... magical 'chanting'."

Eliza thinks nostalgically of the past. It's a trick that doesn't suit her age, and Reurus gently strokes her head with her left hand to encourage Eliza.

(But... how did Eliza's grandmother know that?

But next to that, Reurus was thinking like that.

I heard you were an army wizard, but in that sense, there was an amazing wizard named Natalia among your people. But Natalia knew about the contract, but she didn't have deep knowledge.

That's why Reurus thinks it's a good opportunity to ask Eliza a question.

"Eliza's grandmother was amazing as a wizard... how amazing was she?

"Nh... I see. My aunt asked me if I was embarrassed when I was young, but she didn't tell me the details, but she said she had defeated a strong monster and saved the town... and she got a family name called Valjebe at that time."

Hmm, Reurus hits the gavel. Strong monsters are a vague expression, but they would have been so strong if they had said they saved the city.

(But the Gregorians are killing me... if I look at Bernardo and Gilba, I'll never be able to tell you that when I get old, I'll be weak...)

Eliza calls herself "Auntie," but given Eliza's age and age at marriage in this world, it is possible that her grandmother is in her forties or, if younger, her thirties.

Reurus thought that knowing Bernard and Gilba might not be an early possibility, such as a strong wizard being weakened by aging.

Then maybe it was just “from Eliza's point of view” that it was amazing. The fact that I saved the town only made my granddaughter look good, and it was also possible that he was actually a person with a family name.

(Though it was for my granddaughter, she jumped out of town and lived in the mountains, and it's hard to grasp the actual image of her grandmother....)

With that in mind, Reurus decided to change the subject so much that he could decide on Eliza's past. Rather than the "contract" method, it is about the "contract" itself.

"I'm going to change the story, but this book doesn't contain information that I've had" contracts "with multiple people. I don't even know if there was anyone I could meet over and over again, or if the contract was one-on-one."

In the case of Reurus, Eliza and Sarah have a "contract." However, it is not particularly unusual, and I have never felt inconvenience because it is stronger to "contract" two people than one person to strengthen “normal” physical abilities.

"Well... I didn't even teach you that much."

It appears that Eliza has not learned how to enter into 'contracts' with multiple opponents.

(... so I might as well ask if I can see Vaniel)

In a day's walk, you'll reach the foothills of the Veos volcano, but if you don't call Vanier, it's likely to get closer from over there.

(No, it seems like I won't be able to see you until I want to see you this way, so don't expect me to...)

Ask me when you can. Reurus thought about that and closed the book he had been reading.

Nice to meet you! So, what do we do now?

"See you next time."

The next day, Vanille arrived “as usual”, and there was a realuse that corresponded to the usual.
