A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 408: The Intrusion Part 5

A fireball that was thrown into the night sky and exploded in the air.

Reurus immediately turned his gaze to Zilba and then to Rebecca and the others.

If something is in danger for Eliza and the others, I want to run immediately - but Chris and Tina, anyway, are hesitant to turn their backs on Rebecca.

"... Mr. Reurus, I'm here."

Jilba whispers so that Rebecca and the others don't hear her. Leave Gilba here and go back to Eliza and the others.

However, it would be dangerous to deal with two bishops in Zimbabwe at the same time. Therefore, Reurus did not nod immediately.

"Question: What is the current flame magic?

"Question. Any sign?

It was a Reurus who wondered what was going on, but Chris and Tina, who were watching a fireball explode in the night sky, questioned it. Both of them are tilting their necks, but there is no hostility in their appearance.

"My buddy gave me a signal... it looks like there's something out there."

While suppressing the desire to rush out quickly, Reurus replied. Then Chris and Tina silenced slightly before saying in a strange voice.

"If anything happens, I think we should go."

"If it's dangerous, I think we should help."

…………

Reurus frowned in trouble at the unexpected two words. I agree with the words, but I didn't think the Bishop of Gregory would say such a thing.

"... if you're not going to set me up, I'll let you go."

Lost in words, Reus said so, and Chris and Tina nodded.

"There's no reason for Chris and Tina to fight the Monster Taker."

"If the Raccoon is not coming, there is no reason to fight."

Apparently I'm not really going to fight. Still, Rebecca turned to Rebecca with a vigilant gaze, and Rebecca somehow frowned in a mood.

"If the prince isn't ready, I'm not going to force him to fight... and there's something a little... no, something pretty annoying going on over there."

Rebecca stares out of town.

Doubting that, Reurus jumps backwards with Zilba. And after a certain distance from Rebecca and the others, he ran away with his back facing away.

Run through the roofs of houses lined up, then jump to the edge of the town of Lemona. I was wondering what was going on with Eliza.

(... she's following me.)

Reurus turns his mind behind his back.

There were three great magic powers there, trying to follow Reurus and Gilba. There's no sign of an attack, but Rebecca and the others are going out of town.

(What a strange thing happened.....)

Rebecca thought we'd kill each other immediately if we ever met again. It was only a slight collision that led to the drawing of the sword.

Nevertheless, Reurus focused more on Eliza than on Rebecca and the others behind him. Running to the outskirts of the town of Lemona, he called Sarah using the "Thought Call."

Sarah! What's your situation?!

…… …………

However, Sarah only replied with a noisy voice. I wondered if the distance was too open, but I caught the flames colliding in the air from afar and cut off the "ideological call".

Sarah decided she couldn't afford to answer. In that case, if you have time to call, you should rush to your running feet.

And Reus flew out of the city of Lemona, and went with Zilba unto Eliza and the others. It seems that the battle has already begun, and I heard the sound of metal hitting each other even at a distance.

Whether Sarah fired, or the enemy fired, a part of the forest is lit to illuminate the surroundings. In the sight thus secured to some extent, Reus saw a giant monster hovering over the forest.

Wings grow in the giant body that reaches 10 meters, and flames are spraying out towards the surface as it wings. It looked like Sarah was intercepting it, and the flames that poured down like rain were wiped out by flame magic.

Even though the forest is burning, the surroundings are illuminated brightly whenever the flames collide. After confirming the appearance of the monster in the sight secured by it, Reus frowned greatly.

(Is that... Wing Dragon? And it's pretty big...)

Even though it's huge, it has a "cord” like a necklace. It didn't look like someone was riding on his back, but I had an idea of a winged dragon with a leash on it as a realus.

― ― It is the dragon that Rebecca used to ride.

There were a number of people in the woods besides Elizabeth, each waving a weapon and engaging Elizabeth.

He used his sword, his spear, his axe, his bow, and he chased Eliza and the others. The protective equipment worn is mainly leather armor, but the design is fragmented and inconsistent.

Meer stood in the vanguard, Eliza and Neddy assisted her, and Sarah shot a magical dragon over her head. Although they crossed each other by doing so, it seemed that they were gradually forced to retreat due to the large number of opponents.

――――

Reurus strengthens the power to kick the ground silently and accelerates at once. And as he jumped towards the man who was slashing towards Meer, he kicked the momentum with all his strength without loosening the dust.

The feeling of kicking a raw tree over a shoe was conveyed, but the shards were not noticed. The man Lewis kicked off blew up horizontally, caught up with the other men behind him and knocked them down about five before they finally stopped.

The kick was made to stop the opponent's leg, but Reus landed on the ground, staring at the enemy and spreading his death.

"Mr. Reurus!

Meer, who was crossing with the men as an avant-garde, called out a revus with a mix of surprise and joy. The voice of Reus opened his mouth as he watched the enemy's movements.

Everybody okay? And where did that come from?

That's how Reurus pointed to the dragon in the sky. He is raising his altitude and roaring to alert the rushing Reurus and Gilba.

"I came out of the woods with those men!

"And suddenly, I'm attacking you... ah, Reurus, I'll give it back to her."

Sarah handed over the Dragon Slash to Reurus, who had stopped the magic shooting due to the dragon's distance. Reus gripped the "Dragon Slash" he had received with his right hand and saw the men laying around him.

No matter how much fire brightens your vision, there are many blind spots in the forest. Still, nearly thirty men were able to see it by sight.

Reurus decides it's a bandit because of the lack of uniform equipment and the dirty nature of his body. Just point your eyes at what you are thinking and suddenly you can't see your emotions even on the reels that have entered suddenly, and you can't see how impatient you are or how you feel like running away.

Rebecca's manipulating it? But in that case....)

It's too “bad” to think that Reurus and Gilba set it up while they were away from Eliza and the others.

(So... did I hit you?)

It was Leurus and Gilba who broke into the town of Lemona, but apparently the “enemy” was ahead. Whether the town of Lemona was less popular, or baron Barberie's mansion was lit up, was it a trap to catch Reurus and Gilba in the opposite direction?

It was a realuse to think so, but I thought it was too halfway there. Explore the surroundings carefully while cutting through the torso of the slashed bandit.

(Whatever the bandits, the Winged Dragon over there... isn't teaming up with Rebecca.)

The winged dragon in the sky would be Rebecca's “Otomodachi”, Reurus said.

Then Rebecca and an enemy she hasn't seen teamed up, but Rebecca talked about investigating the town of Lemona in addition to the cause of Griffon's escape.

I mean...

"Well... what do you mean?"

Reurus, who had cut off the incoming bandits vertically, turned his consciousness to the voice echoing from behind.

It was Rebecca who caught up with him every once in a while. Chris and Tina also appeared on both sides, but they began to gently distance themselves when they heard Rebecca's voice.

"Ha!? The Bishop of Gregory!?

"I wasn't crazy back then! Why is he here!?

Eliza and Sarah glanced at each other. Rebecca, however, did not react at all to the surrounding voices and looked up at the winged dragon in the air.

"I told you to wait. What are you doing here? You're a bad boy... yes, you're a bad boy."

That way, Rebecca disappears. Reurus, who was still following Rebecca's movements with his eyes, raised his gaze overhead.

Rebecca, who flipped the hem of the frill skirt and jumped off the ground, appeared over the winged dragon. And looking down at the dragon under his eyes, he turned his right hand into the shape of a fist.

"Very, very, very bad boy."

Speaking with a cold voice, Rebecca's fist swings down at a rate that leaves the sound behind.

Rebecca's fist, which was' strengthened 'with enormous magic, was knocked on the back of the dragon, and in the next moment, the giant body of the dragon bent to the "big letter”.

Then a dull sound like a hammer hit the tire with a slight delay, and the giant wing dragon slammed towards the ground.

Nearly ten meters in size and robustness, the Winged Dragon's body bounced flashly as it squeezed and folded the trees at the drop point. Then, after two or three jumps, several bandits who were nearby were involved and finally stopped.

"It's terrible to take away the 'Otomodachi' from me... yeah, it's so terrible, it makes me cry."

Rebecca, who was in the air, landed on the ground holding the hem of the ruffle skirt by her hand and murmured with a murderous tone on her back.
