A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"... won't you come after me?"

Reurus, who had retreated instead of crushing Sarah's huge fireball, murmured as he checked the rear.

There is no pursuit by Slaus, and there is no sign of soldiers coming after us. I was able to escape so quickly that I was about to lose my temper.

Though Slaus never came after it, it was a Reurus that thought soldiers might come after it, but so far it's not.

Being alert to the rear is not so fast, but it is already running close to thirty minutes through the forest. That's why we're miles away from the town of Lemona.

The Reurus slows down slightly as he holds the "Dragon Slasher" sword in the sheath he picked up when he escaped. Along with that, Eliza and the others slowed down.

(No one got away late, no one got hurt... hmm?

Then Reurus felt uncomfortable. While the number of allies was not decreasing, the number of "other” allies was increasing.

"Wait a minute... what did you bring me?

Unexpectedly, Rebecca was the one Reurus called out to. However, the line of sight was directed towards the mouth of Rebecca's manipulated dragon.

When did you get it, Winged Dragon was sucking a human.

It also sucks Hector, the person who would have been in the most position among those present.

"You're Baron Barberie...."

Jilba murmured as if she was stunned. Rebecca, however, did not respond to Zilba's words and only smiled at Reurus.

"Are you the lord of that town? I didn't mean to take hostages... but I brought them here because I thought it would be good for the prince."

…………

Reurus closed his eyes silently to Rebecca, who for some reason looked to praise her.

(In that situation, did you secure a nobleman... who was expecting to retreat?

Reurus decided to retreat because he had a proposal from Neddy, but Rebecca would have considered retreating as her own. Reurus thinks it's something he's “used to” around securing Hector rather than just retreating.

"... you're being manipulated by that bloodsucking species, right? Is it dangerous?

But as a Reurus, I can't be honest with Hector. I think it's okay because of the distance, but I can't ignore the danger of some kind of hit through Hector.

Rebecca smiled glossy in response to Reurus expressing such concern.

"If you want to do something, you'll be my best friend. If that bloodsucking species is nearby, I'm better off right now."

Even if Hector is out of control, he's going to do something with the power of "charm." I was wondering if it was a good thing to believe, but even if it was impossible, I decided that I could restrain as many people as I wanted.

"I want you to tell me why you made the decision to withdraw from the Monster Eater."

"'Monster eater', I want to hear it too."

Chris and Tina threw words when they were worried about Rebecca's handling of Hector.

After hearing the words, Reus saw Neddy for a moment, but immediately turned his eyes back.

"Who noticed that Slaus didn't lose any of the magic of the bloodsucking species?

When Reurus asked, Zilba and Rebecca, Chris and Tina, and Neddy nodded back. Eliza, Sarah, and Meer didn't seem to realize that they were backing up.

"If the magic didn't diminish, I didn't think I could kill myself if I kept fighting like that. That's why I retreated... that's why."

To be precise, it is more accurate to say that there was no proof of a "means to kill”.

Tina slightly leans her neck when she realizes how Reurus feels.

"Do you know anything about how to restore the magic of that bloodsucker?

"Probably, but they're gathering from the residents of Lemona. I... don't know how."

Is it a 'contract', something similar, something completely different? Even if she sucked blood and gained magic like Eliza, she didn't see Slaus sucking blood from others during the battle.

The method is unknown, but it is highly likely that Slaus has gained his magic from the residents of the town of Lemona in the absence of a pursuit.

If we don't do something about it, it's more likely that we won't be able to kill Slaus.

"I've heard from the bishop himself who fought Slaus before." At that time, "he said," we were collecting a lot of human blood... but not this time. "

Tina seems to be wondering if Slause's magic won't diminish. Chris nodded at Tina's words as well.

"You don't know much about bloodsuckers in Gregory?

"... I don't even know if it's really a bloodsucking species. Normally, they would have been killed by monster eaters and rabies.

I was wondering if the Gregorians were familiar with the advanced monsters, but neither Chris nor Tina seemed to have any idea.

As Reurus thought, the resilience of the slaw is unusual even if it is a blood-sucking species.

It was a Reurus that I had thought about, but I noticed Rebecca was sharpening her lips. Rebecca opens her mouth when Reurus eyebrows at Rebecca's tricks.

"It's... terrible, yeah, terrible. I'm the only one who speaks to these two more than I am. Does the prince prefer the two of us?

Ha, I'm gonna knock you down.

Reurus thinks about what to say in a situation like this. However, it's true that Chris and Tina are easier to talk to each other than Rebecca.

"I'll take care of it... but how will it work?

It seems that Rebecca's remarks were not limited to Reurus, and Zilba asked with a slight sense of lethality.

(After all, we were talking about fighting together temporarily. But if you want to deal with that slaw....)

I have no choice but to never get involved again because I was able to retreat.

Based on the speed of movement of the Reurus, it is not uncomfortable that there are enemies like Slaus not far from the town of Speranza.

However, in Mataroi, it is forbidden to hire the help of Gregorians. As long as it happens to be a temporary form of fighting together, it won't be a problem, but we can't really team up.

Still, Gregorians - it's very important to have the help of a bishop.

"For the record, do you think we can take Slaus out if we turn around and start another ambush?

"... it must be difficult. That's right, we won't allow an ambush three times, and this is a situation where the residents of the town of Lemona are taken hostage. It's customary to report to Natalia and gather your strength to attack."

Gilba expresses her thoughts in response to Reurus's inquiry.

"Fortunately……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………" If we can get back to sanity, we can attack in the form of a request from the lord of the town of Lemona. "

In order to do this, we will first need to return to the town of Speranza. Though there are no signs, in the woods we don't know when Slause will hit us next.

Whether you want Hector to go insane or let Rebecca manipulate it, it's better to do it in a safe place.

In addition, even if Slaus were to attack, Speranza would have walls and empty moats and crossbows that could be used as anti-aircraft weapons.

"Would you like to leave town first... I don't feel comfortable taking Rebecca anyway."

I have no choice but to be emotional. Still a powerful force, Reurus swallowed a sigh that was about to throw up.

"... there was a powerful bloodsucker in the town of Lemona, manipulating soldiers and Baron Barberie? And you brought that Baron Barberie? And the Gregorians... did they fight with the bishop?

Reurus, who has returned to the town of Speranza, will immediately report to Collard.

When I entered the town of Lemona, it was a late hour, but as I fought Slaus and retreated to the town of Speranza, the sun began to peer at me from the mountainside.

The sunset, with almost no clouds, was very beautiful, but its beauty rapidly deteriorated Collard's complexion in the back.

"I heard there was something in the back, but the bloodsucking species... and the bloodsucking species that was rampaging through the harvest somehow lived and was in the town of Lemona..."

Collard laughs when he says that, but his face doesn't laugh just by pulling his cheeks.

"I wish I was joking... what about the three bishops? Is it okay if I get into town?

I thought it would be better to check with Collard, and Rebecca and the others are waiting outside the town of Speranza.

The town of Speranza is surrounded by monsters because the Reurus carefully “cleans” it, but the answer is no if they say they can rest with peace of mind.

I didn't want to go for a revulsion, but I felt that it would be unjust to ask you to stay out of town at night. Regarding Rebecca, I think it would be nice to sleep around with the Wing Dragon, but Chris and Tina fought together.

Collard silences and opens his mouth for about ten seconds in response to Reurus asking what to do.

"... I don't know a bishop."

Huh?

"A traveler in trouble” has visited this town, so I can help you “from here"... right?

(I can't borrow the help of the Gregorians, so I'll lend you a hand from here... that's a good idea, but are you okay?

Based on Reurus' report, I believe Rebecca and the others need their help.

"... yeah, just to help the traveler in trouble."

Reurus nodded back with a serious face to Collard as he rubbed around his stomach.
