A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

It was a Reurus who took on a favor from Collard, but it was impossible to ascertain what the caravan was intended to look like as far as the northern tip of Baron Amondola's territory.

Baron Amondola's territory is wide, both vertically and horizontally, but the roads currently in place are very limited. In order to transport large quantities of materials, it is necessary to use a truck with horses towed, etc., but there are only roads that can pass through even under such conditions.

Some people, like Reurus, may be able to travel safely in the woods, but according to Collard, the caravans that are due to arrive yesterday are “normal” people. It's not like carrying only the luggage you can carry and trampling through the woods.

"You've come to the streets elsewhere. It's been a long way, and there's Sarah here, so I'm sure I never missed her without noticing....."

Reurus murmurs as he looks at the well-maintained streets compared to those of Baron Amendura.

The T-shaped triangle that leads northwards through Baron Amendura leads east to the abandoned city of Laval, and west to the fortified city of Tyrier.

Of course, there are many junctions between them, and they connect to other towns and villages.

"What if you didn't notice the road to Speranza and went south?

Eliza expresses her concern and remarks with an unconvincing expression.

"No matter how poorly maintained it is, it seems like a lot of traffic in the last few months... if you're a merchant going to another town, you're right."

Having heard Eliza's opinion, Reurus replied bitterly. I shouldn't have thought about Reurus, but I didn't think that would happen.

There are two streets running from the north end to the south end of Baron Amendura's territory, but there is currently no place for people to stop other than the town of Speranza, and the roads are not so rough that they don't notice turning roads along the way.

It seems natural due to people's traffic, but even if you go straight ahead without noticing the curved path, you will notice and turn back immediately because the road is getting rough.

"Hmm... at least there was no sign of a crowd passing through the streets yesterday, and I think I'm just a little late."

Judging from the marks on the ground, Mia said so, and Reus nodded convincingly.

"An accident on a journey... no, an unexpected event comes with it. Let's go west for now."

Maybe he's on his way in a hurry by now. Because the time is around noon, we should try to go forward for about an hour and if nothing happens, we should turn around and report back to Collard.

The caravan should be heading west of Baron Amendura's territory, and if we follow the street, we'll find it anyway.

Given that we will be back in Speranza by nightfall, we can only move forward for about an hour, but with the legs of the Reurus, we will be able to earn a considerable distance.

Even if you encounter a patrol soldier rather than a caravan, you have a solid identity as a pioneer in the Baron of Amendura, and there is a reason to check the materials that are being sent. There should be no particular problem.

"I wish I'd been late, but I can't believe I was attacked by monsters and bandits..."

"I think it's strange that someone suddenly got sick on the way to the nearby town or village...."

Eliza and Meer share their opinions as they run west along the street. Having heard those two voices, Reurus leaned his neck.

"But if you're a merchant, you won't be late for your appointment... with the help of another town, and the ambiguity around it?

Or is it a group of transports organized by “supporters” rather than pure merchants?

As Diego of the Count of Velg used to do when he was escorting, if he was traveling from a distance, he could say that there was a one-day error. There is a danger of being attacked by monsters and bandits, but the weather can get worse and worse.

However, it appears that the late caravan operates in a town not so far from Baron Amendura's territory, and there was no delay in visiting the town of Speranza before.

"Hmm... but Collard didn't complain in particular, did he?

"I'd appreciate it if you could just send me the support materials. Even though I'm a day late... it's almost four days late to go this far and not see me."

Even though we had such a conversation, everyone was moving at a high speed because they were using "enhancements". Therefore, even if we discover a caravan, it is likely that we will arrive in Speranza tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow if we succeed.

But I can't see the caravan at all. Although the Reurus moved about an hour as scheduled, there was no shadow or form of their presence.

(I can't find it at all... what's the matter?)

Reurus looks up at the sky and checks the position of the sun. It's already leaning past Jomtien, and the time will have turned around 1: 00 p.m.

I can return to Speranza by nightfall at full speed from now on, but I am concerned that there are no traces at all.

(There's no sign of a struggle, just being late...? I didn't bring any tools to camp....)

It would be one hand to go to the town where the caravan shop operates - a town called Lemona - but it is also difficult because you don't have any camping tools.

Reurus has never stepped foot in, but on his way to the fortress city of Tyrier, turn left onto the street to reach the town of Lemona. The legs of Reurus are less than two days from the town of Speranza.

However, it will be necessary to reveal the night on the way from where Reurus and the others are now. Reus wondered what was going on, and Sarah, who was searching for enemies around her, shouted.

"Ah, there's a heat source coming from the end of the road. How many... are there? Perhaps the movement of the heat source is similar to the people who have brought us things before...?

"... I knew you were just late. I think I'm going to speak up."

After hearing Sarah's report, Reurus called Eliza and the others and ran out again. Sarah's ability to detect heat sources is extensive, but it's still hundreds of meters. It is a distance that can be reached as soon as you run.

The Reurus who rushed out saw a group of horses towing their cars, as expected. In the front and rear, there were soldiers who thought they were guards, and they looked at the Reurus and increased their vigilance.

As a result, the Reurus slowed down and walked straight to the front, taking care not to touch the weapon.

"Who are you?!

Someone wearing metal armor and carrying a spear is coming to do something. As far as the equipment and movements were concerned, Reurus thought it was a duly trained soldier.

"I'm sorry to surprise you. We were pioneering the town in Baron Amendura's territory... and we were late, so we came to see if something happened."

After all, he was late and didn't seem to have been attacked by monsters or bandits. The soldier's man looked surprised when Reurus was relieved.

"It's true that we're en route to Baron Amondola's territory... shouldn't we have a date tomorrow? That's what I promised Lord Collard....."

(... hmm?

Hearing the soldiers' response, Reurus made a disturbing voice in his heart. However, the opponent does not appear to be lying, and Reurus leans his neck with confusion on his face.

"... if you'll excuse me, are you from the town of Lemona?

"No, we left Tillier's town and came here....."

"I see... I'm sorry."

The soldier leaned his neck as if confused. There was no color of lies in the attitude, and Reurus lowered his head while deepening his confusion.

(That's funny... these guys were supposed to be the next caravans. So where is the caravan we're looking for?

I wonder if the divine directional vocalist is taking his head and going to a strange place. Even such jokes come to mind.

The soldier's man also looked at the Reus and leaned his neck when he was worried about it. The soldier asked half-heartedly what the Reus thought of the soldier's manners.

"Red hair, big sword, adventurer... and Baron Amondola... Your Highness, what about Lord Reurus?

"Huh? Well... have you seen him anywhere before?

Until then, the soldiers who switched from surprising appearances to respectful words were puzzled by Reurus. I had stopped by Tillier's town, so I wondered if I'd ever seen him face to face.

"Oops! No rumors. Last time I visited town, I was sorry I couldn't see you! You're really young!

(Ah... that way)

I thought it was because I don't remember, but it was still the first time I met him. But I've heard rumors, and it seems I've decided “yes” based on the features of Reurus.

(I heard the name "Monster eater" is spreading, but it's spreading more than I thought....)

It's not widespread and troublesome, but when you treat it as if you've met a celebrity, it's troublesome to react. The soldiers also smiled, saying that Reurus was laughing ambiguously.

"The fact that you have someone called the 'Spirit Man' with you... don't tell me you're all spirits?

"... eh?

In the words of the soldiers, Reus unwittingly rounded his eyes.

"Hmm... I couldn't find the caravan of Lemona, only the Tillier caravan that is due to arrive the day after tomorrow..."

The evening of the day.

Returning to the town of Speranza, Reurus immediately reported to Collard.

"It's not a complicated road, and I'm sure I've never gone the wrong way...."

I wonder if Collard thought the same way as Reurus and the others.

"Fortunately, there's a lot of building materials to bring, so there's no food shortage... Hmm, what's going on..."

Should we wait or check? Even if I check, who will I send? Whether or not to report it to Natalia before moving on.

Collard thought about it, but looked at Reurus's face and leaned his neck.

"By the way, Reurus, what's wrong with your strange face?

"... no, I heard an unexpected name in an unexpected place..."

"What about it?"

Collard rounded his eyes as he said he didn't understand the meaning of Reurus, who had trouble responding and distorted his expression.
