A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Reurus came to us with the help of the dwarves, but the negotiations came together quickly enough for Reurus to applaud.

Negotiations didn't get so complicated, offering you what you wanted and the reward was accepted.

Reurus - to be precise, what Natalia wants from the dwarf is help with "town building.”

The dwarf, also known as the people of the earth, is very powerful against its small size, and because it can also be used for "strengthening", it is also very powerful as a combat force. Although there were some early fights, they were able to communicate in Comona, and I know a little about human society.

Unlike other monsters, dwarves, also known as subhumans, blend into human society except for their low height. There was no risk of pointless problems, as had been accepted in Laval and Madalo.

Unless, of course, you're fighting an enemy or your allies are in danger. But that temperament is familiar to those who live in abandoned cities, and the more help you get, the more you'll be able to count on it.

There are three rewards offered to the dwarfs.

One is monetary reward.

This is the food that is needed during work - including dwarfs and alcohol, but also guarantees that you will not be hungry, and it is a fair reward for paying the right salary if you work.

Originally, Natalia wanted to guarantee all food, clothing, and housing, but from now on, there will be no more housing than to build a town. As for clothes, they are excluded because they are made by Dwarves themselves.

One is to set a deadline but grant mining rights if a mine is found in Baron Amendura's territory.

There is Natalia's temptation to save time searching for mines, but since there is no way we can secure people to run the mines in parallel with town building, we thought of making them “feed” as a reward.

One is the right of abode in a newly built town, if you wish.

There are aspects to embracing power and securing engineers, but Natalia intended to protect the dwarves in that name if she wanted to.

Regardless of the first reward, the second and third are content that makes me wonder if it will be reward.

I have heard that mines may exist, but without them they are nothing more than empty bills. This is how we build settlements in the Veos volcano with regard to residency rights in newly emerging towns. It was an unattractive reward.

However, when I checked with Calvin, a go-sign appeared.

Calvin says that dwarfs are enough to fish.

Though he wondered whether it was true, Reurus told him about the reward and saw how the dwarves reacted. Then, I felt much better than I expected from Reurus.

"What, town building? I've never made such a huge piece of work."

"Can I dig as many holes in the mountain as the lord approves? Are you mad at me for digging a house?

"And could it be a mine? Can I use the minerals that come out?

Nearly fifty dwarves who were there are each face-to-face talking. But what we can say in common is that the glare of light is beginning to linger in those eyes.

"Do you want to build a workshop in town... Reus, Ome... or does Sara-sama live in town?

"... I mean, if you find a mine, you can make it all you want, whether it's a weapon, a defense, or a magic device?

"There's Sara-sama in the fuel... and the firepower of the furnace is at your disposal... Hey, don't let him roll."

The dwarfs' gaze was directed at Sarah at once. They, or they, would have believed in the Spirit of Fire, but the treatment of Sarah was likely to be angry if only the devout Spirits had known.

"Don't fuck off! I don't want to see you like that anymore!? I put up with it to make a Reurus sword, but I definitely don't like it because I'm bored!?

Sarah, who was pointing at the tip of the story, distorted her expression, swinging her hands and feet and rejecting it with all her strength. But the dwarves showed no sign of retreating.

"Don't say that, Sara-sama... just a little bit when you feel like it"

"Yes, if only you could face the fire by the furnace for about six days a week."

"I also make the foundation for the sacred sara-sama with great care. Huh?"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

You can make whatever you want. With Sarah's help, it would be better.

Reurus glanced at the night sky unexpectedly to the dwarves who expressed such opinions.

(If Jilba were here... the dwarves would be thankful for the fire, so it would be safe...?

Nobody is as grateful for fire as the dwarves. With so much momentum, Reurus thought about it.

"Hey! Say something from Meer! You're with Meer, right?

"Yeah... that's exactly what everyone thinks. Sara-chan is pathetic."

Sarah asked Meer for help because she didn't think Reurus could help her by looking up at the night sky. Meer nods with a serious face and looks around the dwarves.

"--at least five days in a week."

Are you serious or joking? Meer said that she broke her expression and smiled.

Sarah escapes - she is surrounded by dwarfs and captured.

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Because I have an important job of baking meat for Reurus!?

"Why don't we burn it in the furnace? You know what?"

"The baking is completely different! Well, if you're confident in your craftsmanship, don't rely on me to build your own satisfactory furnace!

The captured Sarah is on fire with all her might, but she still has reason not to fire a flame. Though he was swinging his hands and feet, the dwarves couldn't beat him.

"Sarah's in unprecedented danger...."

"In the first place, I have a problem finding the mine... and I don't think I have time to build a workshop..."

A headache about how to help and whether to help in the first place, the dwarves stopped moving at Sarah's miserable words.

"Beyond the firepower of the Spirit of Fire, the furnace is also easy to adjust...?

"What are the ingredients... no, I think we should incorporate the 'jewels' of fire?

"The question is, can you find a 'treasure ball'... town building seems fun, but you can dig as many as you want and make more..."

"Even if I can't find a mine, I can still buy 'treasure balls' with the money I get rewarded for...."

The dwarfs exchanged such words, but I wondered if they had each exchanged sights and called out to Reurus.

"That's why I decided to take the talk. For now, can we all go here?

Without raising the reward, without complaining, the dwarves agree. However, Reurus was more anxious to react to such dwarves.

"Wait a minute... I'm glad you're here, but what about this settlement? You made it, didn't you?

It is better to have a lot of manpower. But I didn't think they were all coming. The dwarfs say strangely to the words of Reurus, who seemed so impatient.

"Can we make it again? The harvest of the field was just over, so there's nothing to be left of it.

"There are intermediate monsters around the Veos volcano, so it's dangerous..."

And I'm scared of Vaniel's husband.

"Hahaha. I can hear you, guys."

Until then, Vaniel had been watching how things went, but she smiled at the words of the undecorated dwarf and sandwiched. And when I drank alcohol with pleasure, I looked around the dwarves.

"You're still young... no, some of you are young, right? I think we should leave them behind and call them back after life stabilizes?

"What do you suddenly think you're going to say...?

"Who will prepare my liquor and my pinch when you are gone?

Vanille speaks with no ill will, but perhaps she misses someone to talk to.

"... is Vaniel coming, too? Of course, I want you to turn into a person."

I don't think I will nod, but I still ask about Reurus. Then, for some reason, Vaniel smiled bitterly.

"That's impossible... let's just let them feel it."

"Really....."

Reurus shook his head as he whispered in his heart that he couldn't do it. There must be a good reason for Vaniel to say that.

(You can't be involved in people's business, you can't help it...)

If life is calm and there is room for magic, you may come and start a fight. He is the best at the test, and somehow he seems to be “having fun”.

Reurus was relieved to get the Dwarves' consent, but had a rare opportunity to swallow wine with Vanier.

With the help of the dwarves, Reurus leaves the Veos volcano and returns to the abandoned city of Laval.

The dwarves who helped us this time - the ones in the settlement, the ones who were still young and the ones who helped defend the settlement - took 35 dwarves back to the abandoned city of Laval.

Add the Calvins dwarfs in the abandoned city of Laval, and they'll all number forty. Though small in terms of manpower for townships, the workload of dwarves would be more than a few times the workforce. It may be more than ten times worse.

We were going to take the Dwarves and the volunteers we had recruited from among the residents of the abandoned city of Laval and actually go there to build the town.

"I am Collard-Bannet-Mald-Roveley in charge on the ground....."

And there was a figure of Collard introducing himself while drawing his face after seeing the thirty-five dwarves that Reurus and the others had brought back.
