A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

It was a Reurus confused by Saniel's attitude, but Saniel lowered her head in a hurry after seeing such a reaction.

"But, of course, we will be more flexible than breaking our promise! Therefore, I would like you to talk to the person in charge of your town....."

Apparently, he mistakenly felt dissatisfied with Reurus' confusion. Saniel was desperately asking for it with a cold sweat on her forehead.

"Of course, it's free, not like that! This way...."

Saniel came out with a cloth wrap when she thought she had it in her pocket. Apparently, they were ready to give it to the Reurus whenever they visited.

Reurus receives the cloth wrap Saniel gave him while he struggles to react. The palm-sized cloth wrapper was heavy, and I could deduce from its shape and feel that it was probably wrapped in large gold coins.

(This reaction... don't you remember seeing him before?

The expression "low head" seemed to suit Saniel, and while cautioning against expressing his expression, Reurus was confused in his heart.

When Saniel confirmed that Reurus had received the cloth wrapper, she had a mix of impatience and apology.

"However, as for the materials I'm collecting... the materials I was supposed to send are gone... I just want you to understand that it will take a while."

"... is that so?

"Yes... I don't have any records in my books... No, I'm not, am I? As long as you're embarrassed... I think I'll be able to get the materials to your town in half a month at the latest..."

Saniel shrinked and apologized, and Reurus pulled her cheek by accident.

(I don't completely remember buying materials... what should I do...)

I entrusted the previously purchased materials to a merchant who was heading to the town of Speranza. The materials arrived safely, but Reus doesn't forget that they were worth nearly a quarter.

(I bought it because I agreed it was good, but I don't remember anything about it....)

Saniel lowered her head with a collard-like face when her stomach was in pain, and a feeling of guilt sprung up, even as a revulsion. However, I wonder how Saniel explained it more than I can remember.

Sarah, who would normally make a scene like this, noticed the anomaly, and Eliza and the others were silent without even having to stop.

"... I'll leave it to you. I'll make sure Sanielle's sincerity is well communicated."

After all, all I could do was nod with a smile on my face.

Reurus, who broke up with Saniel, suddenly lowered his head, then went to the spiritual church. It was my original destination and I wanted to see what was happening to the Spirits in the town of Lemona.

Reurus arrives in front of the church while being alert to the surroundings. And Reus nodded to Zilba, and Zilba knocked on the door of the church.

There was nobody there before, but you can hear the knocking of Gilba or the sound of people moving from the church.

"Yes, who is it?

It was a man dressed in black monk clothes, just like Gilba, who opened the door and showed himself. It is a man who should be described as an old man with a slightly bent waist, but he is definitely a Spirit because he wears a necklace that mimics the Great Spirit Comona.

When the man looked around the faces of the Reurus, he leaned his neck to ask what the problem was. Then Zilba, who saw it, stepped forward with a smile.

"Nice to meet you. Excuse me for a sudden visit. My name is Gilba and I plan to go to a newly built church in a neighboring territory. I came to say hello today."

Gilba gave out her right hand with a smile. Men shake hands when they smile at Zilba's words.

"This is... Thank you very much for being polite. Where are your people?

Men gaze at Reurus and the others. If they were accompanying Gilba, they would think they were spirituals, but Reurus and the others wondered because the costume didn't seem to be “that”.

--Of course, Reurus had more questions.

(Jilba-san, you said something completely different from the plan.....)

Zilba suddenly started saying something different when she was supposed to ask if something was going on in the town of Lemona. Reurus decides that Gilba can't do such a thing without meaning, even though she has doubts about it.

That's why Reurus decided to mimic Gilba and introduce himself with a smile on his face.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Reurus. We are accompanying Mr. Gilba as his escort."

In response to the remarks of Reurus, I heard a small blast of sound, like pushing and killing behind Reurus. I don't think Zilba needs escorts as a Reus, but I thought it would be a good reason for adventurers like Reus to accompany us.

"Ah... are you the one who's called the 'Monster Eater'?"

――――

Gilba laughs deeper after a moment of silence at the man's remarks.

"Yes, there's no one better suited as a guard, is there?

"Hahaha, I see."

A man smiles at Zilba's words. Gilba answers by shaking hands when she thinks she has smiled at such a man.

"Now, if you'll excuse us. Once the church is built, I'll ask you to say hello again."

"Yes, I look forward to it."

Gilba and the man exchange words with a smile, but at first glance there is a calm atmosphere. However, there was a sense that Zilba's mood was inclined toward anger in Reurus, who had quite a relationship with Zilba.

Nevertheless, Gilba does not express her anger, and walks with a smile on her face to encourage Reurus and the others. And I thought I'd left the town of Lemona, and I started going back the way I came.

And Zilba sighs deeply when she sees it far enough from the town of Lemona.

"I wish I had listened, but it was a" before that ”problem. Mr. Reurus tells us that the inhabitants of that town are being manipulated, but perhaps... no, I'm sure they are."

I assure you, Gilba jumps up one of Reurus's eyebrows.

"What do you mean?

"It's embarrassing to be proud, but as a Spirit, I'm quite a big face."

"I know."

What happened now, Reurus nodded with his true face. However, Eliza seemed to have a different feeling and raised her eyebrows just to say no.

"I don't think so... do you know the spirituals and Gilba earlier?

"Yeah... I haven't seen you in years, but I've seen you face to face many times. I should have been in charge of the church in that town....."

"That's...."

Reurus was not sure what to say to Zilba, and he was lost in his reaction. Gilba shook her head and looked at the revulsion as if she had regained consciousness.

"My impression is weak and I may have forgotten it within a few years....."

"Don't worry, I'm not sure."

Probably a joke to change the air. Gilba laughed bitterly when Reurus decided to put it like that.

"I hear that as I get older, I can't remember what I used to do... but I had some problems questioning my memory."

With that, Zilba's gaze moves away from Reurus. When Gilba saw Sarah and Neddy, she raised her eyebrows and carved a wrinkle between them.

"Spirituals... if you are in a position to be entrusted with the Church, you should call Mr. Reurus a 'Spirit Man' rather than a 'Monster Eater'."

"You thought the name 'Spirit Man' was disrespectful to spirits? Or maybe I don't remember that area either...."

Reurus questions Gilba's words. However, it is not to deny, but to raise opinions and raise awareness.

I know the nickname "Monster Eater" and I don't know the nickname "Spirit Man". There are other things that are not Spiritual.

"It's possible. But Mr. Reurus also said that the name" Spirit Man "was more widespread than I thought, right? In that case, even if you don't call it the" Spirit Man, "you should take a proper attitude toward Sarah and Neddy."

"That's... well, that's right"

Even the soldiers who happened to face each other on the street knew the name 'Spirit Man'. It is impossible to think that spirituals do not know.

And if you remember what happened in the cathedral, you can't imagine how spirituals react to spirits. There are also “easy to understand” examples of Jilba.

It is impossible for a devout spiritualist to do nothing even though the spirits are in front of him.

"Even when I was talking about the impossible that Jilba needed an escort, I didn't react..."

"Hey Sara-chan!?

Sarah whispered and shut her mouth like Meer was in a hurry. However, Jilba scratched her head without worrying about it.

"Apparently, the opponent in the back doesn't know that Mr. Reurus is called a 'Spirit Man'... which means it's likely to have appeared in the last six months."

"I see... it just hurts to have no proof of being manipulated."

It is also a mystery whether it exists, such as evidence being manipulated by the hands of others. Currently, it is a grey state that is getting closer and closer to black, but the response will be limited even if it is not black.

"I felt slightly uncomfortable shaking hands. It's magical, it's different... I'm very careful with this kind of handling, so it's suspicious if I can drag it out."

Gilba, who was about to be put to death as soon as we found the “killer," is also in trouble. Reurus worried about what was going on, but Gilba murmured as she looked in the direction of the town of Lemona.

"I don't know if I was manipulating it directly or indirectly... but would you like to start by pulling it out?"

"How do you pull it out?

When asked by Reurus, who was intrigued by Zilba's words, Zilba smiled.

"Let's wait for the sun to set. When the sun goes down, I want to“ scout ”and catch up on the enemy's movements... but if I can't, I need to share information with the neighboring lords to form a siege."

Gilba laughed bitterly, leaving everything to Reurus.
