A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Natalia... no, I heard from Baron Amendura, but I didn't expect the township to go this far in six months... it's a big deal, though with the help of the dwarves."

"Sometimes I went too far and ran out of materials, but the trees that grew around the town became usable as wood, so if I wanted to proceed, I would go further...."

Having reunited with Gilba for the first time in a long time, Reus exchanged words as he guided the town. However, the number of houses is still small even when it comes to touring the town, and there is no wonder that toilets are installed everywhere except in the center of the town.

Gilba arrived at a time when the sun was about to set, and I was planning to have her stay in a guest room at Reurus's house for today.

Collard is being held by you to hear reports from his men who met Natalia. If anything happens, we'll review the reports and then we'll talk to the Reurus.

"He said he'd build a church, but where? You said you'd build a church, didn't you?

"Yes... thank you, but this is where we spirituals offer our prayers to the Spirit Master. It will be accommodating for the land, but I want to train in the procurement and construction of building materials, so I will do it by my own hand."

While saying so, Zilba stared at the home of the visible Reurus.

"Is that where Mr. Reurus lives? If so, you can build a church with land behind it....."

"Please don't calm down...."

When I was in the abandoned city of Laval, it was Gilba who was careful to pray behind my house.

The same thing happens in the town of Speranza - if you think you can build a church and "wave your hand" and offer your prayers, it makes you feel like a Reurus.

"Hahaha, that's a joke. Some of the children are raised in church, and they will need a little more land. I hope that it will be built on a land convenient to Baron Amendura, according to the situation in this town."

(... you mean when the church is built far from my house, you come to pray in the street every day?

While joking, Reurus had a slightly serious question about Gilba. However, it is not actually a word. Because I'm afraid of being affirmed.

"The children of the church... this town is going to be a" normal ”town, and the path after adulthood is going to be better than when I was in Laval Waste City."

As a result, Gilba nodded happily to Reurus, who slightly distracted from the topic.

"Until now, I've had a cramped feeling, but I've heard that from now on, the city will accept us. I'm sure there's a lot of work to do as we move forward with town building... and I want the children of the church to choose a better future."

Gilba was personally accepted, but spirituals are treated as “leftovers” in the abandoned city of Laval. However, in building the town of Speranza, Natalia seems to have officially decided to accept spiritualism.

(As far as I'm concerned, I've been taking care of you, and I feel like I'm doing it now... well, that's a good thing.)

Spiritualism is sometimes called religion and can also be practiced with regard to marriage and funerals. Therefore, if we move to the town of Speranza, there will be more people involved with Spiritualism.

"If you build a new church, will Esther continue to be in charge?

"I'm sure it will be... the cathedral in King's Landing may say a lot, but Sophia will keep it down around here."

"Sophia..."

The name of Sofia came out of Zilba's mouth, and Reurus unexpectedly looked reluctant. Zilba tilted her neck when she noticed the look on her face.

"Anything bothering you?

"No... the other day, the person I met for the first time called me 'Spirit Man' along with my name just by appearance... I wonder how widespread it is."

That said, Reurus laughed bitterly, and now Gilba made the traffic.

"I see... the name 'Spirit Man' has spread even more than I expected. Selling a name can be advantageous, but it can also be the opposite."

If you are disrespectful to the Spirit, you will not be angry, but as a Gilba, you will be judged to be a force majeure for Reurus.

"I was also called" punishment "because of my youth, but sometimes I get scared."

"No, that's...."

Reurus swallows the word "scared" instead of "scared".

I think Reurus is stronger than he used to be, but I also want to avoid fighting Zilba as much as I can. If you have to fight, you'll have to fight, but in the case of Zilba, it's more likely that Nickoli will laugh and die instantly with a single blow.

"... by the way, when can Esther come to this town?

Ultimately, Reurus decided to share the conversation without going into detail and shake another topic.

Eliza and the others are on their way home and are preparing a room for Zilba to stay in. I was happy to come home with you, but I thought I might be able to tell you stories that Eliza and the others couldn't hear.

"I also need to take care of the children at the other church, so I was wondering... what can I do for you?

"Rather than Esther, the Great Spirit Comona..."

After all, Reurus murmurs his words as to whether he should meet when he visits the abandoned city of Laval. Gilba's visit to the town of Speranza means Esther will not leave the church in the abandoned city of Laval. If we ever return to the abandoned city of Laval, we should meet again next time.

"I have a lot to ask... and I'd like to talk to you if possible."

"Hmm...."

Self, spirits like Sarah and Neddy, and Eliza, the bloodsucking species. I just wanted to ask if I could.

Though it was a realuse to think so, Gilba whispered softly, turning her expression into something serious.

"Just for the record, this is not the case when“ coming out ”from Komona-sama, but when Esther summons Komona-sama, there seems to be a considerable burden besides magic...."

"... is that so?

That's what Gilba said, and Reus remembers when Esther helped Commona.

The first time I saw her, I saw her and called out to her. At this time, it certainly didn't seem to be a great burden, but the second time was different.

When Rebecca attacked, it was an ester that evoked a comona on its own, but at this time, it not only depleted a lot of magic, but it also depleted its health. Moreover, while wearing it out, Komona did nothing more than emit words, and disappeared within a few minutes.

"Yes... Esther seems to be hiding it, but if I succeed, it's..."

That's how Jilba muddled her words.

(Speaking of which, you said you'd be prepared when you borrowed Komona's help...)

Does it drain you both physically and mentally so much that you need to be prepared? I don't know how much it is, but as far as Jilba is concerned, we must be prepared for considerable wear and tear.

(I can't tell you how easy it is to call Komona....)

Or I can only hope that you will come out of there.

Reurus sighed so loudly that he could not hear Zilba, he took Zilba home for the time being.

And the next day.

Last night there was no monster raid, and Reurus, who could spend a calm night, heard Zilba's words and looked real.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you very well... can you say that again?

I took the night off, so let's get going.

"... where?

This is the town of Lemona.

Reurus suddenly turned to heaven against Gilba, who said so with a smile. Indeed, it is a good weather for traveling, and the blue sky is spreading without a cloud.

Mr. Collard, please stop.

"It's impossible."

Talking to Kohllard while looking up at the sky, Kohllard answers instantly with his face. But I wondered if I coughed once, and I stared at Jilba.

"Well, a joke... a joke? I'd like to ask you to explain what your intentions were... no, really..."

But Collard's words turn weak later. I would like to stop as the person in charge of building the town of Speranza, but is it scary to stop Gilba?

"I heard about the situation. There is a high probability that there will be someone in the town of Lemona who can manipulate others… so we should move quickly."

Collard also squeezed his expression against Zilba, who spoke with a serious face. Reurus looked down and wondered what Gilba meant.

"If Reurus was aware of his presence, it would appear on the front, but if there was a 'tilt castle' behind it, I and Reurus could take care of it. The problem is that if there were“ other ”enemies, whether we wanted to find out who they were or explore trends, we wouldn't have to visit the area."

Apparently, Gilba thinks we should head back to the area, aware of the dangers.

"I don't think so, but what if someone in the manipulated town attacked me?

"Running away."

"What if an enemy comes forward to manipulate others?

I'll kill you.

(Wow, it's so simple...)

Gilba speaks out loud, but I think it's a good idea because it's simple as a revulsion. Reurus and the others will be anxious to enter the town again, but if Zilba joins in there, we may be able to force a “breakthrough of the enemy".

"The alternative is to talk to the neighboring lords about arming them and then heading for them... because this will take time. And, as things stand, there's only evidence for Reurus and the others."

"... if Lord Gilba checks the situation on the ground, it will be further evidence."

Collard sighs deeply at the added Zilba story. And when I got to my pocket, I took out a letter from Natalia.

"The Captain has given me permission to move with some force... but I want you to avoid fighting as much as possible and prioritize the identification of the cause..."

Reurus nodded after putting a beat to Collard, who dropped his shoulders.
