A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 431: Running Part 2
Reurus rushed into the Adventurers' Union in the abandoned city of Laval without shaking his eyes.
From the perspective of the abandoned city of Laval, there was a sudden appearance of Reurus, who was supposed to be pioneering in the town of Speranza. As a result, the people on the road turned their eyes to wonder what had happened.
It's so noisy.
That being said, at least Natalia welcomed Reurus in peace. As usual, sit on the reception chair and turn the circle and cigarette pipe while keeping the Sharon with his eyes open as if surprised behind him.
"Monsieur"
"... Sharon, pay the bill. And don't let anyone in for a while."
You must have felt the seriousness of the situation from the state of Reurus. Natalia gave instructions to Sharon in her maid's uniform and opened her mouth to see if she was no longer popular.
"Well... so? What the hell happened?
"Let's start with this...."
In response to Natalia's request for explanation, Reurus wrote a letter from Collard. Natalia then opened the letter in a familiar manner and let her gaze at the text.
After reading the letter within a few minutes, Natalia turned her gaze to Reurus and sighed.
"Reurus... you came to town alone. That was enough to realize that something had happened. But that was unexpected."
That's how Natalia waves a letter from Collard.
The letter contained a concise summary of the "story”, the contents of which were beyond Natalia's sigh.
"The bloodsucking species that once appeared in the harist and brawled... Slaus, right? He said he was dead, but he showed up in the town of Lemona, manipulated Baron Barberie and his men, and seized Eliza's daughter...."
Natalia talks ill of nature, but her eyes are serious. In addition to Collard's letter, the fact that Reurus came to report it alone tells the gravity of the situation.
"Besides, I was surprised that I couldn't get rid of the three Gregorian bishops... but that Gilba admitted that the bishop was staying in the town of Speranza... it was just too much surprise to calm down."
While saying so, Natalia distorted her mouth with a bitter smile. However, the eyes remain as serious as ever.
"I'm also comfortable with Collard asking me for directives to deal with this. With the help of the bishop, he hastened the report."
Bishop - There is still something I think about fighting with Rebecca and the others.
It was a realuse that I could tell from Natalia's voice tone, but there was no sign of Natalia exploding.
Natalia sometimes thinks while turning the pipe in her hand. And I opened my mouth again about a few dozen seconds later.
"Let me be frank... Reurus, from your perspective, how strong was the bloodsucking species when we actually fought?
"I can't win alone, and Jilba and I can't kill each other. Teaming up with the bishop is a good match... and above all, it's not a good way to heal them."
Natalia starts by confirming Slaus' strength. Reurus couldn't refuse it either, telling it indifferently.
"He seems to be recovering from his wounds by absorbing magic from the inhabitants of Lemona. If we succeed, we may finally be able to kill all the inhabitants of the town of Lemona."
"Sucking magic... when I think about Eliza's daughter, is she connected to the residents in a contract and forced to gain magic? No, in this case, I think it's better to say vitality than magic."
Natalia adds with a nasty murmur.
"Flame magic, ice magic, wind magic, thunder magic... you can manipulate others into a healing alternative to healing magic... You really didn't kill them and die?
"Ah... I didn't die if I cut it into four pieces, and even if Zilba destroyed her heart, she didn't die. I might have died if I burned it with flame magic, but I haven't tried it yet."
Besides, they were floating in the sky. Reurus and the others have limited means of attack, but the opponent has a variety of means of attack.
"... Baron Barberie is rescuing and asking for help recapturing the town of Lemona... I'd like to keep the" source of magic ”out of sight. And...."
Natalia put her hand to her mouth and slightly lowered her eyes. Reurus looks to expectations as to what comes to mind, but Natalia shook her neck sideways when she noticed.
"A little... no, not really. I have questions about the vampire's behavior. Everything was too cluttered... if you could manipulate others, you would have had the means to deceive them. And this is how things are exposed....."
"That's... well, yeah."
Rebecca and the others who visited to investigate the mysterious monster were still servants, and Reurus set out to investigate because the inhabitants of the town of Lemona were acting strangely. As a result, I decided that there was a nasty monster and snuck in.
"It should have been nice to temporarily leave the town of Lemona and wait for you and the bishops to disappear. I wonder why I took the trouble to intercept it. The Bishop of Gregory must have died once, right?
Reurus has no way of answering Natalia's questions. Eliza's safety should be the priority for Reurus now.
But Natalia keeps asking if she knows anything about Slaus.
"It would have been easier to dive into a bigger town if you had that much power. Even so, he didn't leave the town of Lemona and suspected that there were some troublesome monsters, so his identity was revealed. Even if you can't ignore the fact that you can get magic stably, it's not strange that you've been running away for a long time."
"I'm confident that whoever attacked me will be able to fight back..."
If we actually see Slaus' combat abilities and resilience, it may be quicker to base the town of Lemona than to move elsewhere. But what happens if the finest get out of the Gregorians and the Mataroi army?
That is why it would be dangerous if powerful men like Bernard, whose Reus was defeated in the King's City, left the army behind.
Or maybe there's a reason why we can't leave.
In the words of Natalia, there was something beyond Reurus's mind.
--If you're at least a week late, it doesn't matter.
Slaus - to be precise, the words Hector was manipulating, but they don't seem meaningful.
Reus told Natalia that he thought so, and Natalia distorted the girl.
"It was two days ago, wasn't it?
"Ahh... what do you got?
Regarding magic and monsters, Reurus also teaches basic knowledge as an adventurer. But when Reurus honestly asked Natalia, who was not so extraordinary as to be called a “wizard,” and had no deep knowledge, Natalia turned her eyes into sharp objects.
"I don't know because I'm not the bloodsucker. I just have a bad feeling about this."
"That's your guess... that's right."
It was a realuse that beat its gavel lightly, but its mood was never calm.
While we're doing this, if anything happens to Eliza, she won't be standing or standing.
To be honest, without a position, I was in a mood rough enough to be alone and cut into the town of Lemona.
Natalia sighs again to see through the mood of such a revulsion.
"If there's" something ”, five days of respite... it's going to be hard to gather strength from now on."
I wonder if that's a statement made in consideration of moving with the Wing Dragon. It takes time just to move around to gather people who stand up. There is no guarantee that you will get cooperation even if you explain the situation from there.
In the first place, it is unrealistic to pull reinforcements from elsewhere while fighting with Rebecca and the others.
"As far as I'm concerned, what we need is not numbers, but quality. Even if you put them together, they're more likely to manipulate you."
"... I mean?
Reurus asks for a quick conclusion. Natalia answered with a small sigh.
"If I'm going to do everything I can, I'm going to surround myself and kill you.” However, this will take time and create a debt for people. That's right. Five days won't help. "
"... I see."
I can't help it.
Reurus, who decided it was Natalia's conclusion, turned his back on Natalia.
Natalia says she has a bad feeling, but she agrees with Reurus. I have an unexplained feeling that Slaus deliberately grabbed Eliza.
Then we will have to face danger and impossibility.
"Wait, Reurus. What are you gonna do about it?
"People in the abandoned city of Laval don't abandon their families... they're the ones who taught me that, not to mention you."
As a family member, I want to get to the rescue as soon as possible.
Reurus was inspired by the days spent in the abandoned city of Laval.
But I can also understand Natalia's position and circumstances. Therefore, Reurus intended to enter the town of Lemona, even if he was single - but Natalia's voice sounded bitter from behind.
"Absolutely... don't be so quick. No, that's all he cares about, and he must be angry."
In some warm words, Reurus unexpectedly looks over his shoulders. And Natalia said, trying to deepen the bitter smile.
"I can't afford to gather the other forces - that's easy, I'll get out."
The tone was silent. As a result, Reurus could not understand for a few moments, and at the end he raised his eyebrows as if in trouble.
"... eh. No, that's...."
"I have a bad feeling, and it's a good opportunity to sell a big favor to the neighbors.” I won't miss it. And.... "
I appreciate it as a force, but is it okay from a standpoint? Natalia fished up the edge of her mouth and laughed at the expression of Reurus with such doubts.
"You said that, didn't you? I taught him not to abandon his family."
Natalia laughed, adding that she couldn't get the help of everyone in the town this time.
Reurus forgot such Natalia's words for a few seconds - and finally broke his face with joy.
