A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Reus, who met Saniel, a merchant in the town of Lemona and heard about the delivery of materials, went straight through the woods, not the streets, and returned to the town of Speranza.

It takes nearly a day and a half to get through the street, but literally “straight”, and it takes less than a day to get ahead at the shortest distance.

Departing from the town of Lemona around 3pm, revealing the night in the woods and restarting the journey with the sunrise, he arrived in the town of Speranza around noon the next day, so the actual journey time would be less than half a day.

If I had the opportunity to visit the town of Lemona again, I would have left the town of Speranza early in the morning and arrived at the latest in the evening.

Of course, this is the only way to get around because it's the Reurus who are used to moving around in the woods.

Reurus, who can detect heat sources and is good at detecting Sarah and magic across a wide range of enemies, Meer, who is not lost in the woods, and Eliza, who doesn't see any junior monsters, make it possible.

Since everyone can move using the "reinforcement", it is also important to proceed without worrying about the poor scaffolding. The speed of travel dropped because of the many obstacles, but the towns of Speranza and Lemona were still able to travel about half the time normally.

(If you can afford the town, you might want to try to build a new path... and talk to Mr. Kohlard.)

If there is a road that leads straight to the town of “neighboring" Lemona, there will be more people coming and going. At least the merchants will use it. However, it seems like it would take a lot of time and effort to cut through the woods and build a road.

With that in mind, Reurus returned to the town of Speranza, but turned his gaze behind him. There was Eliza, who was obviously in a strange state after she went to the city of Lemona.

(Did you catch a cold? But it doesn't seem like she's simply feeling ill....)

Eliza dyed her cheeks with vermilion and wiped away her sweat, but she didn't get fluffy when she moved through the woods. It wasn't that I didn't have an appetite, and I ate dinner last night and breakfast today.

However, I noticed strangely hot breaths and occasionally rough breaths.

(Hmm... even though I've struggled with hunger and fatigue, I've never struggled with illness...)

I've never been sick with Roku in my previous life, anyway. As a result, I was unable to determine what was going on with Eliza as a Reus.

"I'm in town... Eliza, are you sure you're okay?

"Nh... uhh, nh... it's okay... okay?

After several worried remarks, Eliza returned the words uninterrupted. Not only does Reurus look worried about Eliza, but so does Meer.

"Don't push yourself, Elizabeth. We're back in town, so why don't we get some rest today?

"Mh, uhh... but goodbye..."

Reurus dives through the gates separating the town of Speranza from the outside and continues into the town. But Eliza was somehow dissatisfied.

"Meer's right. Town building was on track, and Collard didn't get angry after a day or two off."

That's how Reurus approaches Eliza and tries to fold his knees and align his eyes. And the moment she lifted her right hand to try to persuade her to measure the heat, Eliza somehow panicked away from the Reurus.

…… What's the matter with you?

Reurus leaned his neck at Eliza's unusual behavior. I didn't mean to surprise you, I was just trying to measure the heat on my forehead with my palm.

"Ah... uhh... um, what is this... ah, I'm scratching my sweat, and I'm getting closer... a little..."

Eliza rubbed her knees together. Her gaze is swimming to the right and left, and her face is getting more upset and red.

(Do you care about the smell of sweat... well, Eliza is a girl too...)

Reurus laughed bitterly that this was not enough of his own delicacy. Regardless of how much you spend with your family, you may be worried about your revulsion partner, who looks just a couple of years old.

Reurus thought so and turned to Meer.

"Then I'll report back to Mr. Collard, and Meer and the others will take Eliza home first. Sarah, can Neddy get Eliza in the bath?

Reurus simply thought that if you were worried about sweating, you should take a bath. However, if Eliza was concerned about her presence, she decided to leave under the pretext of reporting to Collard.

"Er... I'm with Reurus..."

Sarah looked dissatisfied, but when she checked Eliza's complexion, she shrugged her shoulders.

"I was going to say, but Eliza seems to be spicy, so you're coming home with me! Come on, you've even made a bath, so I'm going to pour some hot water in!

".... nh"

Unusual, Sarah was worried too, usually pulling Neddy's hand and running toward her house. Neddy looked at Eliza and raised her eyebrows and ran with Sarah pulling her hand.

"So, Mr. Reurus, I'm taking Elizabeth home, right? I'll take care of all the reports to Mr. Collard....."

"Oh, I'll take care of that. I'm going home early, so please take care of Eliza."

"Yeah. So, Elizabeth, let's go. Can you walk alone?

Eliza nods small in Meer's words and walks out. Reurus dropped off Eliza and scratched his head looking for Collard.

"What? You don't know anything like that? What kind of joke is that?"

"I wish I was joking..."

Reurus, who found Kohllard, tells Kohllard what he has learned in the town of Lemona. Then Collard opened his eyes without saying that it was hard to understand.

"We're talking to the captain... and Baron Amendura? And on top of that, you're rebellious? What the hell is Baron Barberie thinking?

Collard wonders deeply about the actions of Baron Barberie, lord of the town of Lemona. It may be disrespectful from the standpoint of a quasi-bar, but I cannot help but say that I am responsible for developing the town of Speranza.

"I don't know... as Collard told me, there was a merchant in town, but he was also confused."

"Mmm... I can't really judge this by myself... no, wait, if I report it to the Captain..."

That seems to be a situation that would make it difficult for Collard to deal with.

"... the merchant named Saniel said he'd bring the materials in at least a week, right?

"Yes, I called the lord again and told him that if he couldn't, he could hire the young people of the town to carry the materials."

"Hmm... I just wanted a pen to prove it, if possible, but if you're a merchant, you can't break a promise. Even though Baron Barberie has the cause, he's just broken it once... and he'll want to avoid any further injustice."

That's how Collard talks while stroking his jaw. The eyes were narrow and I could see that they were going through various thoughts.

What do you want to do with your report to Sebastian? If I had to, I'd run alone to the abandoned city of Laval. "

"After the materials arrive... it's better to see how the other side came out. It may be possible to pull out a lot of trouble, but from now on it will be a“ neighborhood. ”If you want to cooperate when things go wrong, it's better to have fewer clashes."

"Is that so... then we'll just have to wait and see."

It seems that because I know the cause, I will see how to find out again. The results will change the course of action, but Baron Amondola is on the side receiving support. Even if I protest, I guess I have to make a good distribution.

"I don't know how to fall. By the way, what happened to Miss Eliza?

"It looks like Eliza's not feeling well... and everyone else is taking care of her."

Reurus said so, Collard frowned.

"Mm, that's not going to work. If you get hurt, I have magic medicine, and I can treat you easily... and I'll let you take it according to your symptoms. I have some kinds of stomach medicine with me....."

"... maybe I just got a fever, so I'll see how it goes tonight. Mr. Collard should have the stomach medicine."

While thanking Collard for his offer, Reurus was slightly distracted.

And that night.

Reurus lay on his bedside in his room and looked up at the ceiling. There are no lights like in the previous life, and in this world, which relies on lights such as candles, it is quick to fall asleep.

The town of Speranza is short of resources, so we can't afford to stay up late. There are also magical instruments that produce light, but it is difficult to obtain them in the town of Speranza so far.

The wooden windows in the room are also closed, so the moonlight never comes in. There are still a few days until the full moon, but the brightness of the moon can't be foolish.

Reurus, who was still familiar with the darkness, gazed blurrily at the ceiling.

When I reported back to Collard, Eliza, who had been in the bath, was pulling into the room and asleep.

I can't judge whether I was tired or sick, or if I don't know anything about medicine. Reurus closes his eyes thinking that most things can be done if he is not sick.

(Check on Eliza tomorrow, and if she gets sick, Collard will give her stomach medicine... no, magic medicine. Or you can do everything in your power to get back to the abandoned city of Laval and come to Gilba or Esther.....)

Perhaps you should borrow the help of Gilba and Esther, who are the users of healing magic and have a variety of knowledge. With that in mind, Reurus slowly fell asleep.

--Gicili, I heard the sound of the trees.

(... hmm?

It was a revulsion that I thought was the sound of the bedside, but the “sound” sounded at regular intervals. The sound came from upstairs, and it looks like someone is walking.

Although it is a new building, because it is made of wood, it is not strange to hear the sound of wood when people walk. However, during a time when Sarah and the others were already back in their rooms and asleep, Reurus slightly opened his closed eyes.

The town of Speranza is noisy with construction during the day, but quiet at night. There are no more monsters attacking, and it's only natural that all the workers except those who fall asleep are asleep.

In this silence, the footsteps of Gishi, Gishi, and Gishi resonate well. I wondered if the footsteps had moved, but now I began to hear the sound of going down the stairs.

(Toilet?

I had a toilet installed in my home, so I didn't have to go out. With that in mind, it was a revulsion that gradually made me drowsy, but the footsteps that went down the stairs approached the revulsion's room, not the toilet.

(... what?

The footsteps stopped in front of my room.

Then, after a short while, the door opens with a kick.

--There stood Eliza with her eyes shining red.
