A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Leurus, who had temporarily retreated from the town of Lemona, was resting in the woods away from the street.

Travelling close enough in the woods to be invisible from the streets and towns of Lemona to make sure there are no signs of humans or even monsters around. Because there was time until sundown, Reurus and the others were resting and discussing with Gilba how to move forward.

"We were talking about scouting after dark, but how do you do it?

You need to know in advance who will do it and how. So when Reus asked, Zilba turned to the direction where the city of Lemona existed, looking down.

"We do it secretly in the dark. Originally, it would be harder for me to go alone, but I would like you to accompany Mr. Reurus this time."

"Me?

The named Reurus rounds his eyes. I didn't think I was the right person to do the scouting thing.

Mr. Reurus, can you hide the magic?

"No... 'Enhancement' is now available, but I don't know how to hide magic."

In order to answer such a revulsion question, Gilba tells us why she chose the revulsion.

"No, that would be better in this case. If the opponent is good at detecting magic, they will soon find out."

"... can I be noticed?

"Yes. If you don't notice, you're not good at magic… In this case, you don't have to be afraid to handle magic badly. Even if you notice it, you can guess your personality depending on how you're dealing with them."

That's how Gilba folds three fingers.

"I can't move by judging it to be an invitation... in this case, it must be a calm and careful character. The strength is unknown, but it's the most troublesome thing to do."

While talking, Zilba breaks her second finger.

"Simply deciding that you can't beat Mr. Reurus doesn't move... in this case, you must be calm enough to see the difference in his abilities, and quite strong enough. However, I can't tell why I'm not moving, so it's hard to tell from the first guess."

After seeing the last of his index fingers, Reus said what he thought he was going to do.

"If that's how you end up eliminating us... what do you do then?

"If that's the case, I'm sorry, but I was wondering if Mr. Reurus could do the trick. I'm pretty good at hiding and hiding magic, so I'll take it from behind while the opponent is at war with Mr. Reurus."

Instead of scouting, Reurus smiled unexpectedly at Gilba, saying that he would take it out on the spot.

"I don't mind being a crook, but if Gilba starts a surprise... it won't be fashionable for the other person."

Gilba is hidden from the people around her, even as she prays behind her home in Laval Waste Town. Such a Gilba pierced a gap distracted by a rheumatism called Reurus and attacked the enemy.

(The problem is whether the other person will eat it or not, but if it does, there may be a slice of it tonight...)

It depends on the opponent's strength, but the Reurus of the Horn can take care of it. If you can't defeat it in a short time, you can flashy and draw attention to it. That will naturally help Zilba.

Reurus thought so, but Gilba was embarrassed to see through the idea.

"However, this movement may be limited depending on how the other person“ moves ”. Speaking of which, there is a possibility that they will manipulate the residents of the town..."

"How does that work? Are you going to break through and take him out?

Or perhaps we should withdraw with great gravity. With that question, Reurus asked, and Zilba looked away.

"In that case, I will withdraw. There is a presence to manipulate the inhabitants of the town... that's enough to know. It's easy to get help from neighboring lords."

"... that means if the other person doesn't move through our thoughts, or even if they don't see it, they don't show their hands because they're scared..."

"It could be a long war."

Depending on their behavior, they must also be prepared to end up empty. However, if there is even a slight reaction, there is a possibility that there is a piece at once.

"In the meantime, what are we gonna do?

Eliza asked Zilba if she thought the story was divided. Then Gilba smiles bitterly.

"Please secure an exit at an uninterrupted distance from Mr. Reurus's" contract ". It's up to you to go through the streets or through the woods, but for the time being, you should lie down near the town."

"Mmm... Reurus is not the only one who seems to be following Gilba-san..."

Gilba laughed bitterly at Eliza's reaction, which was somewhat frustrating.

"The chance that Eliza and I will come after each other as soon as we leave is not zero. In that case, just shoot the magic in the sky and give me a signal, and I'll be on my way, but Eliza and the others will be on their own until we get there."

"'Idea calls' are also limited in distance... is that a sure sign?"

Reurus nodded convincingly, and Eliza nodded back with dissatisfaction.

"In a situation where we don't know what's going on, securing an exit is not important... okay, I'll take care of it."

Not only Eliza, but also Sarah, Meer, and Neddy nodded convincingly.

Thus began the “scouting” of the town of Lemona.

As planned, when the sun goes down and the area gets dark, the Reurus and the others move out.

Reurus, who had become accustomed to the darkness because he could not prepare the lights, and relying solely on the moonlight to move through the woods, approached the side of the town of Lemona while being careful not to make as much noise as possible.

While scouting the town of Lemona, Reurus took off his armor. Armor, nails, and ankle armor make noise when moving, so act in everyday clothing that you wear under your armor.

Gilba said she could move without making any noise even with her armor on, but Reus couldn't do such a clever imitation.

Also, due to its size, the Dragon Slash was also prominent, so she left it with Eliza and her armor. When she accidentally grasped the pattern, it would be a “catastrophe”, so Sarah, who was okay to grip and burn, managed the "Dragon Slash".

I was a little worried about putting down Dragon Slasher and armor, but Jilba usually wore only spiritual monk clothes and did not wear any kind of armor. The weapon is one of his own flesh, and compared to Gilba, Reurus still wears the "neck hunting" sword and dagger.

The current revulsion is like throwing away Attack and Defense instead of increasing Speed and Hidden. Even if you abandon your Attack, there is a "Head Hunting" sword, so if you are in line, you will be able to cross more than enough.

Confirming his appearance, Reus turned his gaze toward Gilba. Although it is not entirely dark due to the moonlight, Zilba wearing spiritual monastic clothing is very less visible than during the day.

(Speaking of which, since Gilba's clothes are black, it's hard to see them in the dark... no, I don't know...)

For a moment, Reurus shook his head thinking it was a color scheme to blend into the darkness as it is now. The Spirits, whom Reus had seen before, all dressed similarly and decided that they would not.

The regular clothes worn by Reurus under the armor are made of hemp, and the shades close to gray are only slightly more pronounced in the dark. However, there is no problem if you draw a little attention to it as it may become a trick.

If we focus on Reurus, it will be harder for Zilba to be noticed.

"Well then, let's go..."

It was a ready Reurus, but Zilba, who was observing the town of Lemona, leaked a strange voice. The gaze was directed over the walls, and his eyes narrowed to explore something.

"We don't have a guard soldier at night... do you think we're being invited or that we don't need a guard..."

Drawing attention to Zilba's words, Reus turned his gaze toward the walls.

In towns with fortifications like Lemona, they set up campfires and guarded soldiers to prepare for the night. Even in Laval, which stands next to the abandoned city of Laval, soldiers watching the walls walked around day and night.

Not only Gilba, but Reurus is also vigilant that there is no such thing.

"What do you want to do?

"It could be a trap, but it's also an opportunity... it's moving."

Although Gilba suffered slightly, she made a quick decision. Reurus nodded at it, sending Eliza and the others eye contact before moving on.

Reurus jumps out of the woods, running carefully to avoid making as much noise as possible, while Gilba runs completely silent. And as he rushed up to the walls surrounding the city of Lemona, Zilba lowered her hips and stood up for a valley reception.

When the Reurus jumps slightly and puts his right foot on both hands, Zilba jumps the Reurus high using a spring all over his body. Reurus jumped up nearly five meters at once on the momentum of Zilba's lift and landed on the walls.

(... you really don't have any guards.)

Landed with care to keep noise as low as possible, Reurus immediately explores the surrounding signs. But there were no guards, as Zilba expected, and there was no light.

Even though the current situation is more strange than enough, Reurus looks toward the town of Lemona and frowns.

(Something's wrong... there's hardly any light...)

The time was around 8 pm, but the town of Lemona didn't have so much light that it seemed like it was late at night.

Unlike Japan in the previous life, some people fall asleep early when the sun goes down in this world where there is no lighting by electricity. However, it was still a weird time to turn on the lights in taverns, restaurants, whorehouses, etc.

Except for those establishments, wealthy houses may be lit by one of the lights at night.

So Reurus was questioning, and Zilba ran up the walls with little noise. And when you line up next to Reus and observe the town of Lemona, you hear a small but surprising voice.

"This... seems to be a“ win ”."

Gilba also immediately realized something was wrong with the town.

"... something's wrong with you."

Reurus whispered as he nodded at Gilba's words.

I didn't feel it during the day, but it felt like a thin, magical feeling was covering the town.

No matter how many days went by, there was little light on the big streets and no one seemed to be walking. I felt the heterogeneous air so much that I thought it would not be enough just to confirm it.

"Do you want to leave?

"No... it'll be too soon to retreat."

That's how Gilba looks away.

Among the towns of Lemona, where there were few lights, there was only one large mansion that shined brightly enough.
