A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

It was Natalia in the position of Baron, but the action was quick when she decided to move.

Temporarily entrusting the management of the abandoned city of Laval to Bartolo, the president of the Adventurers' Association, immediately moved to his home to begin “preparation”.

Reurus has visited Natalia's home several times. It is a modest building that is not commensurate with its status even when it was a quasi-bar. The house is as idle as ever, with only the minimal furniture required.

Natalia walked into a room she thought was a warehouse, and with the door open, she started making some noise.

Reurus, who was supposed to accompany him to do a little information rubbing, sat on his chair listening to the rubbing sound and hard sounds of clothes coming from the warehouse.

"You're so embarrassing and careless."

Regardless of how difficult it was to have a conversation, Reurus complained to Natalia, who kept the door open and proceeded with preparations. As if it was unconscious, Reurus repeatedly slapped his desk with his fingers.

"I can't help but feel uncommon and rough about Eliza's daughter... if you're worried?

"... you're always invited to get a little lost."

Reurus tells me he can't afford it right now.

No matter how much Natalia can help, the reality that Eliza is trapped in Slaus remains the same. Reurus took several deep breaths and tried to calm his wild heart, but it didn't work.

"I'm curious about just a little bit. Well, calm down a little. Anyway, I don't mind eating the ingredients around here.

"I understand you can't help rushing here right now... but I can't help it."

We're not at war, so we should try to stay calm for a while. I think so, but as a realuse, I feel like I can't get my feet on the ground.

Still, Reurus takes another deep breath and finds something in his brain to talk to Natalia about.

With regard to combat power, Natalia's participation has improved, but I don't know what happens if we don't actually fight. For this reason, I decided to confirm the “future” first.

"By the way, I'd like to check one thing..."

"What is it?

It was a realuse that shook the story through the open door, but it slightly patrolled. I nevertheless decided that I needed to hear it, and I continued my words.

"It's about fighting the Gregorians. What is it..." Are you okay ”?

Lost in words, Reurus asks vague but inclusive questions. Then a slightly teased voice came back.

"Oh, is it just a friendly traveler who's helping us?

"... so are you sure you're okay? Wouldn't it be bad for Mr. Collard to bring up that story later?

If you are pursued for responsibility for what Collard has said, you may fall beyond your limits.

Even I am causing a lot of trouble. No matter how powerful a bloodsucking species appeared, I didn't want it to develop into a situation where Collard fell as a realuse.

Of course, if this problem explodes, it will be after Slaus is defeated.

It's delicate if we need to check on the status quo, but as a revulsion, we were going to get Eliza back and take down Slaus. That's why I thought I'd check it out in the meantime.

"Fufu... I'm kidding. Well, it's true that in this country, the treatment of Gregorians is exclusive. The Count of Werg has replaced it."

Natalia continued her words as the sound of the fabric falling to the floor.

"However, I invited the Gregorians into the realm and tried to solve the problems in the realm... Besides, the spirits who knew about it rebelled."

"But that happened because the ancient Count Werg was being manipulated by Rebecca, right? I don't know what to say after I give up the governor to Mr. Lewis, but I feel a little bit punished...."

I was able to resist it as a result, but once I experienced the effects of Rebecca's "charm", it seemed like a tough time for Reurus.

But Natalia replied with a bitter smile mixed with the rhetoric of Reurus.

"Even if Rebecca and the others had the 'protection' to manipulate others, there is no evidence that they were manipulated by it. If you shout because the party was being manipulated, there's no guarantee that the people around you will believe it… rather, you'll be shouting."

"... you mean to use it more than there's any evidence?"

If the surroundings were too noisy, it would have been a realuse that felt like it would cause problems, but I'm sure they're looking around for more or less.

As for Reurus, who learned about the “fear” and trouble of a noble creature in the King's City, the exchange of hands is where he wants to throw a round at Natalia and Collard.

"That is why the ancient Count of Werg was careful to give up the governor to his son. That's how you showed the outside world that you took responsibility."

"That's the punishment that brought in the Gregorians...? It's tough being a nobleman."

While saying that, Reus leans his neck to wonder if that's all he has to do. Then Natalia's voice flew in, including whether she noticed the reaction of the Reurus.

"Oh my god... Reurus, do you really think that would be punishment?

…… I was a Vicomte at the time, but you fell from my lord, didn't you? I think it's enough punishment..... "

Even if it was necessary, the answer would be no if asked if it was satisfactory. If the then Countess of Werg had invited the Gregorians on his own volition, it would have been the end of Rebecca's manipulation to replace us.

If there were a noble family hostile to the Count of Velg, it would be hard to believe that they knew about it. However, as for Reurus, I could only think of it as "bad luck.”

Or Rebecca and the Gregorians were good at one or two - I have to conclude.

In response to such reactions, Natalia returns words with occasional metal rubbing sounds.

"The ancestral Count of Werg was already over forty, and Lord Lewis was over twenty. You're old enough to give up your governor.

"... I mean, what? Actually, the Earl of Velg did no damage... no, no inconvenience?

"Not to mention it wasn't, but... it seemed like he was turning his hand around a lot, but it didn't have much effect on me being a Count from a Vicomte within a year."

…………

Reurus, who heard Natalia's words, silenced unexpectedly. Leaving his body behind the back of the chair he was sitting on, he looked up at the ceiling for no reason.

(I took responsibility for replacing it, but it didn't actually hurt or itch... No, it hurts a little, but it's acceptable... was it like that? It's the Count's house, and one of Rebecca's cases didn't hurt that much... or did you use it well?

Even though I was damaged, I used the “damage” to hit him. Reurus, who came up with the possibility, dropped his gaze from the ceiling.

(... after all, I'll leave the nobility to you and Mr. Collard)

When Reurus concludes that, there is a slight noise from the floor. The sound caught Reurus gazing at Natalia, who was fully equipped.

"Well... have you settled down a little?

"If you're thinking about something else, a little bit."

Apparently, I've been shaking my story to calm Reurus down. Reurus understood that, but looked at Natalia and raised his eyebrows.

What Natalia wore was not a dress-like outfit, nor was it a travel costume she wore when she went to King's Landing, and it was gear that took into account "fighting".

The emphasis on ease of movement is similar to the long-sleeved shirt in trousers and the jacket and the old outfit, but the quality is obviously different from that of Reurus' amateur.

They must be using monster materials, like the armor Reurus is wearing. The shirt and trousers had a calm hue, but the robustness was visible, and from the top, the feathered jacket had a slight sense of magic.

What drew Reurus' attention was what Natalia was holding in her right hand. Normally she was holding a smoke pipe, but Natalia was holding a stick fitted with a fist-sized green jewel.

The wand itself seems to be made of wood, but it is slightly shorter than Natalia's height. The wand is entirely engraved with "magic letters".

The jacket, too, was obviously a magic tool - and Reus thought it was a good substitute.

"... that wand?

"It's a staff I used to use when I was in the National Army. I don't think I can afford to spare you this time."

That's how Natalia fished up the edge of her mouth, but apparently she was only going to fight the opponent seriously.

Natalia puts her hair on a ponytail so it's easy to move, but she's not surprised to see it once. I would say that Natalia was more surprised that she was completely dressed as a "fighter.”

It was a surprisingly rounded revulsion, but Natalia didn't seem to care about it and fished around her waist to take out the smoke pipe.

Natalia is tightening her clothes with a large waistband and hanging a pouch to hold small items. The pouch also looked like magic equipment, and I saw the "magic letter" engraved on it.

"Now... shall we go?"

Reurus nodded silently against Natalia, who was ready.
