A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

We arrived at the planned construction site of the town and it dawned overnight.

Apart from the black serpent that Reurus took out last night, there was no damage that could be said to have been damaged by the attack of a haunted bear. However, the dwarves began to look awkward as the dark snakes were checked again at dawn.

"This is Temperance. And it's pretty big... Reurus, well done."

"I felt a little magic in the woods as if it was because of my mind, but most of the time, it's not because of my mind.” Sarah was wondering about the presence or absence of a heat source, and it was good to be alert... so this guy is temperamental? What's the taste?

When the sun rose, I checked carefully and found that it was nearly fifteen meters long from head to tail. However, because the torso is nearly one meter thick, it looks slightly more torso than the snake known to Reurus.

This is what it would look like if the monster of Mimis, who had fought before, made the colibeau slightly thicker and longer, stretched the black scales, and then let him live on land instead of in the dirt.

With that in mind, Calvin sighs when he sees a black snake called Tempers.

"I don't know the taste. It's just that he's a nasty monster... who sneaks up without a sound and swallows his prey and runs away. I don't use magic, but it's sort of intermediate... we're not even the natural enemies of dwarfs, but I don't want to fight them because they're hard to hit like colibos."

"If you drop your head, it looks like you're going to die, and it doesn't matter what happens... so what's the poison?

"Hey... if he swallows me, I can't get out of our arms. If you're not good enough, it'll take weeks to digest..."

Reurus nodded with a serious face to Calvin, who murmured with a serious face.

"There's no poison... that means you can eat it as it is. This guy's got something to eat."

"Why are you just thinking about eating!? And don't eat the leather!? There are so many ways to use it!

For Reurus, the large black snake body is happy with the amount of meat that can be removed, but from the dwarf, it seems to be happy with the large amount of leather that can be removed.

Speaking of which, while thinking about whether there was a wallet of snake leather in the previous life, Reus quickly took the flesh of a black snake and threw it into his mouth.

"Hmm... pale..."

In the meantime, I threw in a grab of snake meat, but it tastes better than I thought. Whether it is moisture or bodily fluids, there is moisture, and there is a lot of dental response, but the key taste was very modest.

"If you open it and bake it and shake it into salt and spice, it feels like it's going to melt...? Ah, but it seems to be nutritious...."

"So why are you suddenly eating raw!? There will be other monsters to eat!

Calvin tries his best, but Reurus doesn't stop. The bones of the black snake grabbed and rodented, making a noise and chewing.

"This is food too. I don't have enough poison to eat. If you bake the bones and shake the salt... well, what... ca, ca, ca... ca, ca, ca, ca, ca? Why don't we just pinch it when everybody's drinking?

"Kakushiumu.” And if you want to pick up the liquor, you'll usually roast dried meat. "

It's Calvin who puts a comedy in his face, but he thought it would be useless to say something to Reurus' appetite. Work with other dwarves to start peeling off the Black Snake Leather.

"... I have an idea that if I eat like this, the monsters won't come near me."

No matter how many monsters, they escape from a dangerous opponent, just as a junior monster escapes from the bloodsucking species Eliza.

At first, the monsters would come by because of the smell of blood, but I thought most monsters would not come by if I took them down and even preyed on them.

It will take some time for it to work, but one day monsters may escape from the surroundings like the Raval Waste City.

Moreover, unlike around Laval Waste City, Baron Amandola's territory is very large and seems to be rich in monsters. Even if there were no monsters around the planned construction site of the town, it would be possible to find as many monsters as you stretch out a little.

A revulsion that recesses slightly in response to Calvin's cold response, while retrieving stripped snake meat from one end. Monsters that are recognized as edible, such as horn rabbits, are transferred, and monsters that others do not eat are secured for their own use.

(Hmm... the taste is modest, but I feel like there's quite a bit of magic in it, and it's definitely an intermediate monster...)

As I was thinking about parts other than the flavor, the sparkling and sparkling Sarah approached as I rode the round-cut snake meat from the edge.

"Hey, Reurus. You're not gonna burn that? You're gonna bake it, right?

"That's right... okay, let's start with salt."

"Yes! Let me do it!

Reurus begins baking snake meat with a smile. For breakfast, it is “heavy”, but I don't care about fine dust as a realuse.

Storing magic is more important than that. Black snakes also stand out in the daytime, so they won't be so much a threat. If you are careful in the woods, you will notice.

(Both Sarah and I could feel the magic and heat halfway through, and if there was a problem at night... it seemed spicy to see it in the dark)

It will be late at night for this black snake to make a threat. Reurus thought so - this time.

"Uh-oh!? I'm swallowed by a temper!?

And that day. As the day before yesterday, such a scream was heard in Reurus' ear, who was engaged in monster hunting at the outer edge of the plain.

Turning to his voice, he saw a giant black snake fleeing into the woods. Apparently the dwarf was swallowed, and the “throat” of the black snake was small and swollen.

"Where the hell did you come from!?

After seeing it, Reurus immediately uses "Calorific Release" to rush out. That's because running into the woods makes tracking difficult.

Black snakes twirl their bodies and flee into the woods with agile movements. However, Reurus using "Calorie Release" is overwhelmingly faster.

The black snake jumped into the woods, but unlike last night, I could feel the magic clearly because I couldn't afford to hide it. Therefore, Reurus pulls out the sword of "neck hunting" and casts a magical blade with a black snake.

If you shake the Dragon Slash in the forest, the surrounding trees will be felled altogether. For this reason, I use the "neck hunting" sword, which is good for turning around, but it is also suitable for releasing magical blades, so it is easy to use.

The magical blade released by Reurus hits the body of the Black Snake and cuts off from the middle. Most creatures will die if their torso is severed - but the black snake won't stop.

He tried to escape with just another “upper body”.

"--Stop."

The black snake tried to escape, but Neddy's ice arrow, which was chasing Reurus, pierced his eyes and tried to change course in a hurry. However, when he changed course and tried to escape again, Reurus caught up with him, and his head was slashed by the "neck hunting" sword.

You can't live if your head and torso are severed. The Black Snake moves several times before stopping. As soon as Reurus confirmed it, he pulled out his dagger and cut it from the edge of the black snake.

"... oh shit! What a surprise!?

The dwarf, who had cut the black snake apart and rescued it, exhaled a curse as he broke out and became energetic. Then he raised his eyebrows to the digestive fluid of the black snake that was wrapped around his body.

"Ah, I ran into you... Neddy, I'm sorry, but could you wash it off?

"... yeah"

Because Neddy is a Spirit, the saved dwarf begs Neddy for help. Then Neddy pleases it and starts washing the dwarf's body with the water he produces.

"I'm sorry... I was on guard and I missed it..."

Reurus bows his head and apologizes to the dwarf. I thought it would stand out during the day, but I missed it.

But the dwarf shook his head sideways with a bitter smile.

"No, I can't help it... I didn't come out of the woods anyway"

"... what?

Reurus frowned on Dwarf's words. Doubting where they'd come from, Dwarf pointed to the ground.

"I came out of the sewer. I was going to make a few more toilets, but all of a sudden I jumped out... and I hurried away and chased after them, and they swallowed me up. I wish I'd been dragged into the woods."

…………

Hearing such a dwarf's words, Reurus unexpectedly looked silently at his feet. Because the sewer is underground, I don't feel any particular magic at the moment. But since the dwarf was attacked like this, there's not necessarily one black snake lurking.

(What did the sewer look like... if you look at the map Mr. Collard has?

I thought the sewer was already finished, but I can't let it go if there might be monsters nesting inside. You'll have to “clean” it right away.

I don't think so, but if a black snake attacked me in the bathroom and I ran into the sewer, I wouldn't be fashionable.

Under such a sense of crisis, Reurus immediately reports to Collard. Collard sighed deeply.

"Ah, from next to next... the sewers aren't that wide? I don't know if the weapon can swing satisfactorily. I don't care what happens with a captain....."

While saying so, Collard pulls out a map of the area around the planned construction site. Then I traced the map with my fingers and showed it to Reus in about two places.

"I told you there was a river nearby. There is a water inlet upstream, from which water flows through the sewer and leads to the downstream exit."

That said, when Reurus looked at the map, there was a line connecting the planned construction site to the nearby river. Although there is one entrance and exit, there are several branches in the basement of the planned construction site, and it seems that the sewer system is equipped so that toilets can be installed in a wide area.

"As in other towns, the sewer is made of stone... it has a" magic letter "of" reinforcement "to prevent it from collapsing, and there is a" magic letter "of" detoxification "downstream of the sewer... But is there a hole in it somewhere? Or did you think it was just a nice nest and settled on your own?

Collard bothers his head as he looks at the map. There are quite a few sewers underground on the site to be built, and it will be difficult to confirm them. Besides, it was confusing to step into the foot because of the poor vision due to the underground.

"Instead of flushing dirty water as it is, you cleaned it with 'detoxification'... or will it become beautiful... there is no village downstream of the river?

"The village itself does not exist in Baron Amondola's territory. So, no one lives downstream, like a bandit... what are you going to do?

While murmuring impressively, Collard quickly checks Reurus for a disturbing atmosphere. Reurus said plainly to Collard.

"Ask Neddy to flush a lot of water upstream and push those snakes away, or have Eliza shoot a thunderbolt... and ask Sarah to burn the entire sewer. If it's built to be robust, any of it will be okay?

The most intensely safe sewer would be for Neddy to push out the black snake and let Reurus wait at the “exit” to destroy it all. To prevent the black snake from resisting the flow of water, it might be more certain to flush the water and shoot Eliza's lightning magic.

The point is, it's like pulling a toilet lever and flushing water. If we can push the black snake away, we can cook as much as we want.

"... ah, yeah, that's right. If you don't break it, there's nothing to complain about... what's left... I want you to make sure there's no hole after cleaning... after you've flushed it with water, you won't be so worried about the dirt and smell..."

Collard nods tirelessly after hearing Reurus's suggestion.

Well then, let's split up and get to work, and we'll have some dwarves help us. Also, maybe that snake will pop out, so please be careful over here. "

"Hmm... I see."

In order to make it a safe place to live, Reurus quickly moved on.
