A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Slightly back in time.

Eliza, who had dropped off Reus and Gilba as they entered the town of Lemona, was waiting in the woods nearby, careful not to get too close to the town.

Even though there is a moonlight, it is in a forest full of trees. It would be very difficult to visually spot a patrol soldier passing through the woods because they are not on fire.

However, since Eliza and the others were all hidden from magic, anyone who was so good at magic must have noticed immediately.

Still, at night and in the woods, no one noticed Eliza's presence.

--The soldiers on patrol weren't even there to keep an eye on the town.

"Are you two okay...?"

Eliza murmured without hiding a voice because there were no shadows or signs of monsters around her.

I thought it was strange enough from the daytime, but I felt uncomfortable and anxious about the town of Lemona, which I couldn't even watch at night.

"Gilba's with you. You okay?

"That's right... but Reurus has a big sword and armor, and I'm a little worried..."

Sarah answers optimistically with the "Dragon Slash" in her arms, and Meer answers worriedly while carrying the set of protective equipment used by Reus. The armor set is wrapped in a large camping cloth, making it easy to carry.

…………

That's how Eliza talks, but Neddy just stares at the town of Lemona without taking part in the conversation. Eliza and the others didn't care if she didn't respond because she didn't normally join the conversation, but Neddy frowned a little worried.

"Reurus' weapon... well, there's a sword made of that" neck hunting "material, so it'll be fine. I've seen it used several times, but it's not a product candle."

"Reurus, it looks like you can use it as much as you want, and if it's a regular weapon, it looks like you could slash it before the meeting."

Elizabeth and Gilba spend some time together to crush their time because it will take some time for Reurus and Gilba to come back.

Eliza's role is to secure an exit, but if a battle breaks out in the town of Lemona, we will need to hurry. Therefore, do not be alarmed when you exchange words, and always be vigilant of the surroundings.

Still bored, Sarah turned to the 'Dragon Slash' she was holding.

Hey, Meer. I heard that this "Dragon Slash" burns when someone other than Reurus grasps the handle, but how long will it burn?

"Hmm? Hmm... it seems pretty dangerous to hear from my dad..."

Meer, who was questioned by Sarah, leans her neck as she watches the Dragon Slash.

"If you use" Disable "while gripping it, you can also maintain it, and Sara-chan trained it with the fire that she adjusted when she made it. That's why I think Sara-chan can handle it, and maybe Elizabeth, who has a" contract "with Reus...?

"Ah, that's right... eh"

After hearing Meer's explanation, Sarah grasped the pattern of "Dragon Slash" without any confusion. Eliza and Meer opened their eyes when they saw it, but there was no sign that Dragon Slash would do anything.

"Fufu... imitation of Reurus! What is this? It's so heavy!

It was Sarah who tried to grasp the pattern of the "Dragon Slash" and carry it on her shoulder like a revus, but she broke her balance and almost fell back. For this reason, I rushed back to my posture using Reinforcement.

Even if not burned in flames, the Dragon Slash is a mass of metal that weighs nearly ten kilometers. In Sarah, who was usually helpless and did not handle the sword, there was a weight that could not be shaken properly without "strengthening".

"... I wonder what the Reurus would have told me if Sarah was on fire."

Eliza shouted at Sarah, even though she was too careless. Spirits of fire burning in flames are no joke, but I didn't know how to penetrate Sarah with too much hesitation.

"For now, I don't have a problem... do you want to try Eliza?

"I was terrified and I tried!

Daijō Daijō Daijō. Even if the fire comes out, I'll control it, so I won't burn it... right?

"So what if it burns? If your clothes burn, you won't change!?

Eliza tried to fly over Sarah whispering, but she weighed herself because Sarah was in charge of the Dragon Slash. Still, when she walked over to try to rub one of her cheeks, Sarah looked around unexpectedly.

"... that? What do you got there?

For a moment, Eliza thought that she didn't like being held back and was trying to distract herself, but Sarah's expression seemed strange to her heart. For this reason, I immediately switched my mind and grasped my loyal wand.

"A monster? I think it's more than intermediate if it gets closer...."

"Hmm... I don't know exactly because of the distance, but it's a big heat source... is it moving in one piece? Either way....."

"Where are we going?

"Over there."

Sarah's fingers were pointing towards the back of the woods where Eliza and the others were hiding - the way out.

Understanding this, Eliza drove her eyebrows down and encouraged her to move.

"... let's move a little. Don't make as much noise as you can.

Although Eliza was a little worried about whether or not to go to check the cause, she decided she didn't have to. If we can join the Reurus, we can cut through the woods and return to the town of Speranza.

I thought it would be better to shift the rendezvous point a little. There is also a "thought call", so if Reurus and Gilba leave the town of Lemona, they should be able to get in touch and rendezvous immediately.

It was Eliza who made the decision to move “safely”, but Sarah's expression remained the same. Looking at the back of the forest, she raised her eyebrows.

"The heat source is moving... is it heading this way? Ah, the heat source broke up... hmm? Hmm?"

"Why, what's wrong?

Encourage Sarah to speak up and report it properly. Then, Sarah's voice seeped in a slight rush.

"If you think that a large heat source is approaching, you know more than one, and you wonder what's going on, now you're approaching a new heat source from a different direction?

"... I mean?

"Over there, over there... over there? The heat source is approaching."

That said, Sarah pointed to all directions except the town of Lemona. It seems that the “heat source” that has stepped into Sarah's senses is approaching Eliza as it unfolds in a semi-circular fashion.

"... Eliza-chan"

Meer leaked a voice of vigilance as she squeezed her chin. Eliza thinks about what to do when she hears that.

If Sarah's sensed information is correct, she's obviously under siege. It was not a coincidence, and at the same time, I had a feeling why.

Was it noticed because of the noise earlier, or was it caused by something else? However, I kept my voice down as much as I could, so I don't think it reached the critical distance Sarah could sense.

"Rendezvous with Reurus...?

Until then, Neddy, who had been silent, asked while tilting his neck.

"That's... but there's a chance they're fighting over there..."

That was Eliza's first thought, but wherever and how should we meet?

(Ask Sarah to give me a signal... no, before I do that, how do I...)

Normally, Reurus decides what to do, but there is no Reurus here. Eliza and the others were only here in the name of securing an exit, so there was little assumption about when they were moving from the other side.

Normally, you will forget because you will always be with us, but in these situations, Reurus moves instantly regardless of the outcome. Most of the time, the opponent was slashed, but Eliza didn't have to do it right away.

Gilba was near Lake Mersena when she had previously fallen apart from Reurus. As a result, Eliza and the others managed to do something about it without setting guidelines.

This would be the fall of Reurus, who had forgotten his instructions before the “big incident” of attacking another town. I was told to give a signal if anything happened, but Eliza was wondering if it was okay to give an immediate signal because it was an abnormal situation.

"Ah... Sarah, it's a sign!

Still, Eliza called out to Sarah to give a signal. And Sarah answered his voice, and set her right hand in the sky.

"Yes, yes! Let me-!?

It was Sarah who fired a fireball into the sky, but the fireball disappeared before reaching a visible height from within the town of Lemona.

Though she wondered why, Sarah once again threw a ball of fire into the sky. But the fireball that was fired again disappeared along the way.

"Mmm... one more shot!

…………

Neddy raised her right hand silently when she saw Sarah throwing a ball of fire again. Then she fires an ice arrow to match Sarah's fireball.

The next moment, the ice arrows broke apart with a dull sound. In the meantime, however, Sarah's fireball soared high in the sky and exploded in the air.

"... eh? Hey, what was that?

"... maybe wind magic?

Sarah mentions the cause of her own fireball disappearing, and Neddy leans her neck without confirmation. We were able to signal Reurus and Zilba, so we can choose between going from ourselves or waiting for Reurus and Zilba.

At least that's what Eliza thought. We should stay here and defend ourselves while we wait for Reurus and Gilba.

"Where did you shoot me!? So, the heat source is approaching a lot!?

That's what Eliza thought, but she squealed when she heard Sarah screaming in a hurry.

You have twelve magic points, so you can shoot without worrying about magic. Moreover, the allies have two spirits, one dwarf, and the same opponents can easily cross each other.

It was Eliza holding her cane, but her familiar vision of the dark night seemed to be approaching.

Many of the figures were armed people - wearing unified leather armor, etc., so they were thought to be bandits.

Behind such enemies were creatures that exuded a great sense of intimidation.

"... why are there dragon wings here?"

There was a dragon with a “large body” that exceeded the average individual.
