A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"It's the town of Lemona, but it's bad. There's something in the back."

…………

Two days after I met Saniel in the town of Lemona.

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

Regarding the materials acquired in the town of Lemona, we entrust each wagon with a "nuisance fee” to the merchant who goes to the town of Speranza where he met on the street. I was in danger of being taken away, but I decided that reporting was more important than that and came back in a hurry.

It takes nearly a week to get back to Speranza if you're traveling with a wagon for a long time. That's why I came back in time, but when I heard Reurus, Collard was silent with his face.

When Collard fishes his pocket with his face open, he takes out the paper wrap and puts the contents in his mouth and pours it in with water.

"Phew... I'm asking you to report it again. If I wasn't mistaken, it sounded like the town of Lemona was in danger...."

"I don't know what's behind it, but it's definitely dangerous."

Reurus told Collard with a serious face that he wanted to report again to escape reality. Then, Collard sighs deeply and with a momentum that is likely to exhale all the air in his lungs.

"... tracking?

"I was vigilant, but I didn't."

"Mhh...."

A collard roaring voice, but I could understand the mood even as a revulsion.

We decided it was dangerous and escaped from the town of Lemona, but the pursuit didn't go far enough. Sarah was constantly searching for the surrounding heat sources, and all the Reurus remained alert at night, but there were no signs of it.

Originally, immediately after escaping from the town of Lemona, I wanted to return to the town of Speranza in a straight line, but I decided it was dangerous to fight in the woods and took the trouble to cross the street.

Regardless of “last time”, I didn't tell Saniel where it came from just because Reus named it this time. For that reason, I decided it was dangerous to go back in a straight line, but Reurus also remembered that he didn't even track it down.

"Of course there are a few strange things... what is it? Is there something dangerous behind this? Why am I in such trouble?

Calm down, Mr. Collard.

Reurus said seriously to Collard who was about to squat with his head in his arms. Collard was convinced that such a realuse was a serious matter and sighed again.

"Just so you know, what's the proof?

"You don't have one. I bought materials for five gold coins from a merchant in that town, but that wouldn't be evidence either...."

"... well, it's odd that I forgot you with Miss Eliza in a short time... but I can't move without confirmation."

That's what worried me about Collard.

At present, there is a real danger that the materials used for town building were not sent, but it is only named "support”, and if it is said that support has become financially strict, etc., it cannot be strong.

The atmosphere of the town of Lemona was strange, and neither the soldiers nor Saniel remembered the Reurus. Even if you try to take action for such a reason, if you think it was a mistake, you are lost in your judgment as Collard.

"If anything happens to you, I can beat you back with all my strength. I'm in charge of the construction of this town, so I can check in directly with Baron Barberie...."

"If you don't actually visit the area, you won't feel it, but I object to going to the town again."

When asked whether there is evidence, it is troublesome as a revus, but I categorically object to visiting the town of Lemona again. If that's what Collard was going to do, he'd tie it up and stop it.

But as a Reurus, I understand Collard's thoughts. So far, there's no harm in not receiving the materials, and we can't make a decision just by listening to the reports from Reurus and the others.

It would still be reasonable not to take a quick look at the reports from Reurus and the others here. Reurus is so fond of Collard that he listens seriously and is worried about what to do.

"Is it possible that the doll is behind this?

"... it's not zero, but I don't think so. He would have manipulated it more“ well, "and I can't think of any reason to manipulate the people in Lemona."

As a result of fighting Rebecca once, Reurus feels that he is obsessed with being reluctant.

If Rebecca were to manipulate it better, she wouldn't know the trail. Reurus thought it would be strange to attack Speranza's town alone before it could be manipulated into “clutter.”

(... well, I don't know what the madman thinks.)

It is also possible to make you think so. Of course, if you say such a thing, you have to consider any possibility.

"... send a messenger to the abandoned city of Laval. That's why I'm talking too much to judge."

Would you like me to leave it up to you?

"Hmm... I'd like you to come either Captain or Gilba... or both..."

Collard's attitude seemed half-crustrated, but Reurus' response was surprisingly intense.

"Given the defenses of Laval Abandoned City, the Captain will not be able to move…" Exploring ”would be a better excuse for Jilba."

"Ah... the church in the town of Lemona was somehow absent. Can you tell me why?"

"Hmm... but I wonder if it would be better for the Captain to borrow Spiritualism's help... No, I can't help but send an envoy anyway."

With that in mind, Collard made a decision about his future behavior, turning his eyes to Reurus. Reurus nods with a serious face in Collard's sight.

"Then you should leave right away, right?

They will be qualified, including an explanation of the circumstances. It was a Reurus who decided so, but Collard shook his head sideways.

"No, I use my men as messengers. If you take a horse, it won't take you a week to go back and forth. The guards want a few Dwarves to accompany those with arms up. If you're a dwarf, riding a horse won't slow you down that much."

"We'll go through the woods and come back sooner...."

"Hmm. I understand that, but if the story is true, I don't want to minimize the power of this town. They don't necessarily move, but as supervisors of the town's workers, we have to be prepared for danger."

It doesn't matter if it is an intermediate monster, but if there is a nasty person who seems to be equivalent to an advanced monster or a Gregorian bishop, it is difficult to confront it without the Reurus.

Collard thinks there are dozens of dwarfs, so he rarely loses, but he thinks he has no choice but to prepare an unusual force as well as being familiar with the existence of destroying a few enemies in a single blow.

Even if Reurus and his men were sent as messengers, the round-trip journey would only change a few days compared to when he ran his horses to the limit and sent Collard's men.

Of course, the difference in the number of days was significant, but Collard chose to take more round-trip time than sending Reurus as a messenger to lower the strength of the town of Speranza.

"I will write to the Captain at once. Reurus, I want you to pick someone from the dwarf who stands up with arms. Of course, I can't force you..."

Collard can't order Dwarves to become allies rather than subordinates. Still, the situation could be serious, so I decided to ask for help through Reurus.

Reurus nodded at Collard's words and quickly turned to action.

After sending an ambassador to the abandoned city of Laval, Reurus and the others slow down the pace of the town and concentrate on the surrounding vigilance.

It takes about four to five days to get to the town of Lemona through the streets with ordinary feet, but it only takes a day to get straight into the woods like Reurus.

The workers work as carefully as possible from the town of Speranza, and Reurus escorts the workers.

I was not distracted during the day and was more vigilant when the sun fell, so that I could deal with whatever happened.

But nothing happens against that vigilance.

Whether it's been a day, two days, or three days since the Reurus returned from the city of Lemona. Nothing in particular happened.

Even so, the Reurus remained vigilant, but on the night of the fourth day things changed.

In the light of the full moon, a herd of monsters somehow headed for the town of Speranza.
