A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The next morning, I woke up in my room and Reurus woke up feeling uncomfortable.

(What... is your body sick?

The more I think I caught a cold, the more I feel tired. But he never caught a cold in this world, and Reurus leaned his neck on the couch.

(I don't have a fever. Then this is.....)

Reurus checks his physical condition while remembering the question.

Instead of feeling uncomfortable due to the malaise in the body, there are other factors.

With that in mind, Reurus looked around and noticed.

Are you losing your magic? No, this is...!?

The magic of Eliza, who would normally be connected to herself through the Contract. It's broken.

Reus, who noticed it, jumped out of his bedroom and ran towards Eliza's room.

Eliza!

I couldn't afford to knock, and opened with the momentum to break down the door. I checked the interior of Eliza's room, but there was no sign of Eliza.

(Where the hell... is the magic broken?

Reus has also experienced it once in Lake Mersena, but even with a "contract", the “connection” is broken when the distance is separated by kilometres.

However, if you are in the town of Speranza, the "contract" will not be interrupted even if you are far from the end. Not to mention the fact that Reurus' home is located close to the center of Speranza's town.

If Eliza's contract is broken, she needs to get out of town - a distance that Eliza can't walk alone.

It was a Reurus who thought that his "contract" had been broken for some reason, but his magical connection with Sarah remained. In other words, there is no reason why Reus himself broke the contract.

(Where in this situation... no way...)

Perhaps she regained consciousness and went back to Slause, but Eliza wasn't that defenseless. No matter how much you have to do with your own family, you can't think of acting alone in the current situation.

It is best known to Reurus, who has spent nearly two years together.

Then Reurus stared inside Eliza's room.

On the bedside, the duvet rolled halfway over, leaving traces of Eliza sleeping. In addition, shoes were placed on the floor beside the bedside, and Eliza's favorite thunderbolt wand was hanging in the corner of the room.

If you go out, you will wear as many shoes as you do. If the Contract goes far enough, you should take your weapon to defend yourself. No matter how few junior monsters Eliza has, it is unnatural to walk without weapons in the present situation.

Confirm them calmly, but feeling their emotions boiling in the back of your head. If Eliza doesn't shut up with Reus and the others in the current situation, she concludes that there are external factors - Reus finds it.

…………

Reurus walks silently to the window. Then he dropped his gaze on the distorted pattern drawn on the edge of the window.

Perhaps Eliza wrote it. Some time has passed and the colour has turned red and black, but still the blood letters that Eliza wrote down at her own will.

I don't know under what circumstances it was written, but the more difficult it was to read it from Reus who knew the beauty of Eliza's handwriting, the more blurred it was, the more it was written with trembling fingers.

And Reus, who learned to read and write letters from Eliza, can read and write even if Eliza writes something that is slightly broken.

"--Slause"

After murmuring the name written in blood letters, Reus slowly raised his face when he saw the halfway letter, "Tasu". Probably tried to write "scratch".

Though I wonder if Slause broke in to keep Reurus and the others from noticing, there is no sign that Eliza's wooden window was split open.

Knowing the existence of Slaus in the first place, he walked through the vigilance net of the town of Speranza, without noticing the bishops of Rebecca, and even the vigilance of Gilba slipped through. Even though he slept on it, he grabbed Eliza without noticing the Reurus.

It should be considered impossible, no matter how much slaughter it is, and some means was used to “come out” of Eliza. Reurus concluded that it would be possible with a few or dozen manipulated slugs.

"- That bastard."

Then there was no murmur like pushing and killing from the mouth of Reurus who had concluded. The voice was stiff and still filled with clear anger.

Reurus erases any expression from his face and leaves Eliza's room. At that time, the door that had been opened was closed, but the door was closed with a flashy sound to indicate the mood.

"Hey, what's with the early morning revulsions... pyi!?

Sarah, who noticed the noise, came out of her room rubbing her sleepy eyes, but when she saw Reurus's face, she raised a small scream. However, without realizing it, Reurus returned to his room upstairs and began wearing his armor.

Put on armor, put on nails, put on ankles, tie leather shoe laces tightly. The dagger was fixed to the back of the waist, the "neck hunting" sword was placed on the left waist, and the dragon slasher was carried and the sword band was tightened.

"Eh, well, why are you so angry? What have I done?

Sarah, who was following the realuse, asked in surprise.

The voice finally stopped Reurus. Turning to Sarah, she said in a low voice.

"Eliza was grabbed by Slaus."

What?

In response to the brief remark, Sarah rounded her eyes as if she had been stunned. Reurus said nothing about Sarah's reaction and finally checked the equipment he wore.

There was only a fight yesterday, but there was nothing wrong with the weaponry and armor that Dwarves, such as Calvin, crafted with care. After the "contract" with Eliza was broken, there was a feeling that her physical abilities had dropped, but there was no major problem with magic.

--Go to the town of Lemona now and cut into it without a problem.

"Whoa... whoa, whoa, whoa, Reurus! Oh, calm down, huh? I'm scared of my face. Calm down? What the hell are you doing?

"I'm calm. I'm just going to the town of Lemona to get Eliza back."

"Eh? Calm down... ahhhhh! Meer! Neddy! Come here! Come here! Or bring Gilba or Collard!

Sarah shouted impatiently at Reurus's sword. Then Meer and Neddy ran down the stairs.

"Sara-chan, what are you doing in the morning... Reurus!? Why are you so upset!?

"... Reurus?

Looking at Reurus's expression, Meer raised her voice in surprise, and Neddy leaned her neck confused. After seeing those two reactions, Reurus breathes heavily and deeply, suppressing his deviant mood.

"Suu... hah... it's okay, it's calm"

If it comes true, I want to run away right now. I don't know what it was for and I took Eliza, but I think we should be careful what we're dropping.

While suppressing the feeling of the mind, Reurus tries to take deep breaths again and again.

--Can you invade the city of Lemona alone and recapture Eliza?

The answer is no. Even if you sneak in secretly, it's very likely you'll find it on the way.

--Even if I could recapture Eliza, could I take down Slaus?

The answer is no. The opponent was a monster that could not be dealt with by just five people: Reurus, Gilba, Rebecca, Chris, and Tina.

― ― Then what should we do now?

We should do everything we can to gather the strength to take down Slaus, as originally planned. You should swallow the rage that is about to explode and assemble your strength. Each one of them will be destroyed, even if the emotions continue to charge.

Reurus understands that - but the passion in his chest is unacceptable.

I don't know why I took Eliza deliberately, but it's enough to be intense just by grabbing her family.

A slight residual reason shouted that "still” emotions could not move.

"... I'll report to Mr. Collard first. If it moves, then it moves."

After making his judgment without sudden outbursts, Reurus left his home.

Collard, who received a report from Reurus, raised his eyebrows slightly away from Reurus.

"Miss Eliza is gone..."

It's an incredible report, he leans his neck.

What Collard thought then was the same vigilance in the town of Speranza as Reurus thought.

Collard didn't actually see it, but the bloodsucking species that was supposed to have been destroyed by the Gregorians - the "um” Slaus appeared.

Because they may attack at night, they are so vigilant that they have doubled the number of sleeplessness compared to usual.

In addition, Gilba was awake to keep watch over Rebecca and the others. It's not unusual to pull out that net and get Eliza out.

But Reurus didn't have to lie like that, and Eliza actually disappeared. In addition, the killing that seeps out of the faceless Reurus is too noisy to stand in the front.

"Hmm... no one who was on alert reported seeing Miss Eliza. I was prepared for an attack from the outside, but if you say you weren't careful who came out of the inside....."

Thinking with his hand on his jaw - Collard sees the chilari and the revulsions.

…………

Reurus looked at Collard silently and with his true face. It was Collard who thought that he had acquired the character of Reurus quite a bit from his previous relationship, but this is the first time he has ever had a face that has been chopped to pieces.

"... I explained the situation to Baron Barberie again last night. As a result, I was asked to help me recapture the town of Lemona, but I couldn't decide everything by myself."

"What do you mean?"

"Captain... ask Baron Amendura for instructions. That's how things got too big."

If an intermediate monster like Griffon is against him, this time he will be a bloodsucker equivalent to an advanced one. It is also a friendship to think that the city of Lemona is under control.

It was Collard who decided it was too much, but he saw that Reurus was unlikely to swallow his anger and convince him.

Because this proposal is too time-consuming. Even if the Reurus were to contact the abandoned city of Laval, it would only take a few days to get back and forth.

I grabbed it, but Eliza is the same bloodsucker as Slaus. It may be safe, but there is no “yes” guarantee.

Reurus wanted to invade the city of Lemona right away, which was understandable from his murderous intentions. However, Collard has no choice but to make a decision that focuses on the town of Speranza.

After hearing Collard's judgment, Reurus exhaled. Someone shook his head to the side and opened his mouth to Collard, filled with anger and lethality - a voice that came earlier.

"Well... the prince won't be able to connect. Yeah, the one who connects. My automodality will shorten the journey time... and yet you ignore me?

That said, Rebecca, who was walking by sometime, had a smile on her face.
