A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

After holding the flying Eliza and moving to the side, Reurus saw her face turn red and silent again before going down to the floor.

He quickly wore his armor, carried the Dragon Slash, put the "Neck Hunting" sword to his waist, and fastened the dagger to the back of his waist before leaving the house. Eliza had to change, so she decided to go first.

(It's dawn... you slept for nearly twelve hours yesterday while eating dinner?

Reus noticed the sun peering at his face from the mountainside and looked around.

There is no sign of the monster attacking while sleeping, and there is some tranquil air. Most of the workers were asleep too, and no one could see except those who were on a nap duty to be alert.

And among those who were watching the surroundings, there were those who first noticed Reurus.

"Nh! Reursu!

It's Sarah, and when she notices Reurus, she rushes in a straight line and jumps and hugs her.

"Hey, you're awake! Ohayoo!

"Oh, good morning, Sarah."

Because she is wearing protective equipment, Sarah could be injured if she is held in the arms. So Reus grabbed Sarah gently and stroked her head gently.

Sarah's hair has a different color, although it looks like Eliza's. The long, straight red hair was smooth, and it felt very good because it was a spirit or because it was damaged.

(Sarah is as tall as Eliza... yeah, Sarah is.)

Sarah jumped in full of energy. I felt a lot uncomfortable with Eliza, but it was a strange feeling of reassurance that Reus learned about Sarah.

Still gently stroking Sarah's head, Sarah looked up at Reurus with a strange face holding her over her armor.

"Um... has something changed about Reurus?

"Hmm? Why?

"How do you stroke your head so gently...?

That's Sarah tilting her neck, but I don't know the difference as a revulsion.

That's how I talked to Sarah, and Meer and Neddy rushed after her.

"Good morning, Mr. Reurus. I was surprised when I suddenly fell asleep yesterday... ah, Reurus, don't worry, we kept an eye on you while you slept.

"Sorry, Meer. I just can't beat Sleeping Demons... huh?

Because Reurus fell asleep, he would have acted as a sleeper instead. Reurus felt a slight discomfort in the appearance of Meer, who was carrying the usual clothes.

I didn't realize I was growing taller like Eliza or Sarah. Meer is originally tall among a small dwarf race, but she is still small from Reurus if she doesn't have any more "stretch.”

"The monsters didn't come by, and I was perfectly fine. What about Eliza, by the way? Reurus, I think I was with you when you woke up, thinking that nobody was there... what?

Unexpectedly staring at Meer, Meer wandered into the sight of such a Reur.

My brown hair is longer than when I first met her. The hairstyle is a short cut that does not reach the shoulders. It should have looked pretty short because of the hairs, but now it is long enough to touch the shoulders.

I've been dating Meer for about a year, but I seem to have grown up somewhat. I had the impression that cuteness and boyishness used to live together, but now I'm turning into a healthy beauty.

(Something's wrong because I'm so cute...)

Reurus punches himself in the head a few times, but his impression of Meer remains the same. But Mia suddenly started hitting herself in the head, and there was a feeling of anxiety and surprise.

"Eh, uh... are you okay? Maybe I'm still tired....."

"No, it's okay. I slept well, and when I saw Meer's pretty face, I was feeling better."

"That's right... eh?

…………

Reurus hit himself in the head again silently. And when you shake your head a few times, you lose sight.

"Maybe you're still falling asleep... after I woke up, my mouth was so light that my enemies couldn't help it"

"That's right...."

I can't help but feel that my senses are not consistent. Reurus tightened his eyes and now turned to Neddy.

"Neddy did his best while I was asleep. I'm sorry... no, thanks."

Reurus apologizes and conveys his thanks to Neddy for the inconvenience. Then Neddy nodded not to worry - his neck was tilted.

…………

Neddy?

What does it mean, Neddy walks around the Reurus? He is strangely tilting his neck, but from the revulsion, he will tilt his neck to do it.

"I was surprised to hear you fell asleep all of a sudden... are you feeling okay?

It was Reurus who wondered about Neddy's behavior, but now that Collard was approaching, he turned to you.

Collard was having trouble sleeping, too, and his face had a color of fatigue. Still worried about Reurus' physical condition, Reurus lowered his head.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'm feeling fine... or rather, I'm in excellent shape."

Reurus lowered his head and said so, but Collard returned with a suspicious gaze.

"... is that true?

"Huh? Yeah... it's true that I sleep well and feel good... but what?

It is true that I am in good health. It's not as good as when I used "Caloric Release", but it seems that my body is full of power. Now, even if a herd of Griffons came at me, I even felt like I could do something about it.

"No, then I wonder why you're stripping out so much magic... Reurus, did you have so much magic?

Instead of worrying, Collard raised his eyebrows in a strange way. Having heard the words of Collard, Reurus unexpectedly rounded his eyes.

"I'm not doing anything in particular... is the magic coming out?

"Hmm... it's weaker than when you use magic like 'Reinforcement', but it's still a huge amount of magic. As for me, I'm worried if I can get close...."

That's how Reurus looks down on himself. I didn't use "Caloric Release", but it was meant to be a natural body, but it seems to be magical enough to be questioned from Collard.

"The magic... seems to be quite a lot. I don't know the details, but it seems like I can move at all for quite a while."

"Hmm... with the Magic Stone, I can measure it to some extent..."

"Ah, I have it. I'll get it for you."

No, Reurus ran back to the house where he had been sleeping. Eliza, who was ready, looked at it in surprise, but after waving her hand at it, Reurus turned to the corner of the room.

Without hesitation, I removed the "Magic Stone" from the luggage of the trip. It was a gift from Natalia before and is prized for its ability to measure magic, though roughly speaking.

"... that?

"Magic Stone" gradually changes color, but when I saw the last dyed color, Reus tilted his neck.

Depending on the amount of magic, it changes to purple, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red, and it is said that twice as much magic is required for the color to change. Of course, not only these seven colors, but also the darkness of the colors makes it possible to deduce some amount of magic.

(Is this... orange?

It is a color I have never seen before. Until now, even if the magic accumulated, it was between green and yellow, but it jumped over yellow.

(Er... the magic doubles when the color changes... so it's 32 in orange. Even if there is a slight error....)

Even considering the error, is it around thirty? Moreover, since this number is enough for 30 “ordinary wizards”, it can be said to be a huge amount of magic.

Reurus returned to Collard holding the Magic Stone and showed the Magic Stone.

"In the meantime, it's like this...."

…………

Keeping silent, Collard's left hand was attached to his stomach. Still sticking out his right hand, he stole the "Magic Stone" from Reurus.

"It's not broken... it's not broken..."

Then I saw the "magic stone" dyed in a light indigo color and squeezed out my voice.

(In the middle of purple and indigo... Mr. Collard's magic amount is about fifteen if he takes "normal” as ten? It's not like there's a lot of magic, but Mr. Collard is so strong... the technology is amazing.)

It was a Reurus that thought about it while checking the color of "Magic Stone", but Collard saw the Reurus as if it were an incredible creature.

"I see... this is certainly why the captain also uses it heavily..."

I wonder if he returned the "Magic Stone" to Reurus, and Collard walks out in a flimsy step.

"Hey, Mr. Collard?

"I'm tired... I'm going to sleep till noon, so I want you to wake me up properly..."

You may have been sleepless, but Collard says he's tired from the bottom of his heart. Reurus, who couldn't say anything about it, shut up and turned his back.

Reurus, who dropped off Collard's back, eats breakfast, which was his original purpose.

I asked Sarah to bake the monster's meat to calm down the hungry but grunting bellies.

(Yeah, I can eat it properly and it's delicious... but it's delicious...)

It was a revulsion roasting the meat of a monster burned to taste, but when I finished eating about five pieces of boned meat, the pace gradually dropped.

I'm so full that I can't eat at the same pace as before. I could eat it myself, but I had the feeling that I was forcibly pushing in and digesting it.

(Guu... I feel like I can eat as much as I want, but it's purely spicy... even though I have food...)

My stomach is full, but if I stuff it, it seems like it will only fit the stuffed amount. Reurus is baffled by the unknown feeling of "full but eatable”.

(Are you sure you're okay to keep eating this? It won't burst from the inside if you eat too much.....)

Because I'm hungry and the food is delicious - that's not the reason, Reurus swallows monster meat with inertia at the earliest.

Even the five boned pieces of meat that I ate before I felt full, one from Eliza and Meer would fill my stomach. However, the “previous” revulsion was a flat amount.

After eating about ten pieces of bony meat, Reurus' hands finally stopped. I shook my voice as if Sarah, who was cooking meat, had been shocked by less than half of her usual diet.

"Been killed, Reurus? What's the matter with you? It's still about half the usual. But maybe... you're tired of my roasted meat?

"... no, I'm full. Don't worry, Sarah's roasted meat is as good as ever."

Eating is painful - it was the first time I was born into my body.

However, it may be a problem for me to get used to it because I feel like I can eat as much as I want, even if it is painful.

(I'm not sleepy... Did you get tired last night... hmm?

It was a revulsion to check my physical condition, and I was not particularly sleepy. However, I frowned on a feeling that I hadn't felt much before.

(My magic is gone... no, is it flowing? This feeling...)

A magical flow that you can feel without concentrating.

Reurus noticed that Eliza and Sarah were in front of him.
