A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 435: Grandfather or Enemy or Part 2
"Put Reurus... under control?
Eliza asks to repeat Slaus' words. What was on his face was a strong confusing color and a dazzling color to say.
"Hmm... it's a tough deal, but it's also a necessary thing to think about" from now on ”. If you can obey that man, please don't kill me."
Slause talks with a slight decrease in voice tone as to what you are thinking. As she stared at Eliza with her “red glowing” eyes, she continued her words.
"Is it enough to make a contract? Don't you think I hate you? As for me... it's hard to kill someone who loves my granddaughter so much."
Slaus relieved his expression and smiled softly, hitting Eliza with words.
From Eliza's point of view, I had a feeling about the culprit who pulled away from Reurus - but I felt strangely relieved by Slaus' tone and attitude.
Because my grandfather has a blood connection. Or is it because it is the first of its kind that I have met as a blood sucker? Or is “something else” relevant?
Eliza's red eyes clouded her words with confusion over her mood in Slaus.
"But to me... to me..."
"I can do it. Even though it's not purely a blood species, it's still a blood species. Let me assure you. You can do it."
Against the confused Eliza, Slaus repeated his words with a deep smile. Not worthy of the appearance, but the smile seemed to be directed at his granddaughter by the grandfather.
Slaus said to Eliza, leaning against the wall and bewildered, filling a step away.
"I will teach you how to manipulate others. I will also teach you how to store and use your power as a blood sucker. The bones will break, but if you only want to save that man, you want to put it next to him, it will suffice."
Eliza breathes a little in Slaus' words.
It's not that easy to learn how to use force as a blood sucker.
My grandmother, Catherine, taught me all kinds of knowledge and etiquette, but little about magic.
Of course, Catherine had an idea. I probably didn't intend to teach it from the beginning, but maybe I was willing to teach it by looking at the timing of "nothing”.
I couldn't confirm it now, but there were many things that Eliza thought she would be stronger.
No matter how much Catherine was a Gregorian priest, it would be impossible to teach her how to use her power as a bloodsucking species. However, if Slaus is a much more powerful bloodsucking species than himself, he is no longer qualified as a mentor.
"If you want to be strong, let me be strong. You saw the fight the other day, didn't you? Not immediately, but if you want to be strong, you should be able to pull yourself out as a Gregorian bishop."
Even the Bishop of Gregory - with such strength - deserves to stand next to Reurus.
That thought comes to mind in the corner of Eliza's thoughts.
When I first met him, Reurus wasn't as strong as he is now. Of course, it seemed strong enough from Eliza, but there would be a big difference in strength compared to now.
For Eliza, I think it was me who first stood next to Reurus. It was too late to meet people like Corona, Natalia, or Sharon, but as an adventurer, I stood next to them as a family and spent time with them.
Its length and density are not inferior to anyone else's.
But now Eliza isn't the only one standing next to Reurus.
Sarah, Meer, Neddy. And even in the process of meeting the three, the revus grew stronger and stronger.
I fought the Fire Dragon, Vaniel, and took down the Castle, and took down the Slime, nicknamed "The Country Eaters." After that, he fought Rebecca and the "neck hunt", and at the end of the sentence, he fought Bernard, who was rumored to be the strongest fighter in Mataroi.
This is a revulsion that gradually gets stronger, but Eliza asks herself if she has enough power to fight alongside her.
But if we believe Slaus' words, we will have enough power to get rid of the bishop. If you teach Slaus who will be the first to suck blood, you will be stronger.
Eliza stood next to Reurus and imagined herself helping each other - shaking her head in a hurry.
(If I get stronger, Reurus will kill me too...! No! Reurus doesn't change his attitude with that!
Eliza returned to me before her thoughts were dyed by her thirst for strength.
If Reurus had the personality to choose his allies with strength, he would have known the past. Not such a character, not such a man, Eliza's reason stopped thinking aloud.
Then, Slaus “stared" at Eliza, who was sinking into his thoughts, opened his mouth while confirming Eliza's reaction.
"Weakness is just a sin. It would be strange to say that I took you, but if you were stronger, you wouldn't be in the situation."
"That's... yes, but..."
"From what I've seen, the Spirit that that man is carrying... probably the Spirit of Fire and the Spirit of Ice, but clearly stronger than you. The other monster... is that a dwarf? That dwarf's daughter will be stronger than you."
"Eh...."
Eliza breathes a little. You can't say anything to Slause's words with conviction. I just saw it, and I squeezed my fist to see if there was a clear difference.
Compared to the spirits Sarah and Neddy, their magical skills are inferior. Meer can't use Class Magic, but Eliza has Stability and Melee Fights.
Eliza couldn't deny being the weakest in the Reurus family.
"... but... nevertheless..."
However, Eliza didn't nod to Slaus' words because of her inferiority. I don't usually talk about it, but Sarah and the others are important people. Because he's an important companion and a friend.
Slause fills a step further, wondering what Eliza looked like. Those red eyes shine even more.
"If you don't want strength, you just want that man, that's fine. If you can follow that man, let's see if we can spend some time together in this town."
The words resonated in Eliza's heart. As Eliza raised her face unexpectedly, Slause's red eyes were visible.
"Now, imagine. That man only sees you, thinks only for you, and does everything for you..."
--That was a fascinating story for Eliza.
Reurus sees only himself, thinks only for himself, and does everything for himself. That kind of thing comes to mind for some reason.
"There's that man next to you, and there's nobody but you next to him. You're the only one who can monopolize that man."
--It was a shaking story for Eliza.
For Eliza, a man named Reurus is special enough to shake her heart.
A precious person who calls himself a family member, a family member and a companion and treats him like a brother or a friend.
A benefactor who lost his “true family” and saved Eliza, who was wandering in despair. Reminds me of the warmth of my family, who I can now call my beloved.
Eliza's emotions toward Reurus are complex.
Family-loving, trustworthy and affectionate. If Reurus is close to other women, he can be impatient, jealous, and depressed.
Still, I can't get away from Reurus because I'm sure he has that much in mind.
"If you want, I'll give you enough power to make it. Now, Eliza, my granddaughter, take my hand."
A slaw that gently smiles and gives out its right hand. The more I took that hand, the warmer the smile was, the more I had no basis to believe it would come true.
It must have been an unexpected happiness for Reurus to look only at herself - it was because of her that Eliza answered.
"- I don't like it."
The response was concise and Eliza indicated her intention to refuse. Remove the stretched hand from the side.
Eliza's reaction was unexpected, and Slaus stopped moving for a moment, but immediately opened his mouth.
"Hmm... your lover thinks only of you and lives only for you. You think that's a dissatisfaction?
A suspicious voice like a confirmation. At the same time, Slause's eyes were red and shiny, but Eliza looked straight back with her strength in her belly.
Reurus thinks, loves, and does everything for himself. He doesn't look at anyone else, he just loves me blindly.
I'm sure that's a nice thing to do - the more you think about it, the less shallow you get to know Reurus.
Therefore, Eliza laughs with certainty. I swear by my words and thoughts.
If you do that, they'll kill you.
"... huh?
In response to Eliza's smile, Slaus rounded his eyes to say something unexpected.
Slaus doesn't know about Reurus, and Eliza knows a man named Reurus. That's why I can assure you.
--Suicide that cannot be said to go far, such as manipulating Reurus to do something.
In conclusion, Eliza feels as if the clouds that had covered her thoughts until then were clear. Slause blinking her eyes so she couldn't understand Eliza's words that she wanted to laugh with her nose.
Eliza knows. I see it with my own eyes.
I can still vividly recall Rebecca manipulating Reurus with her "protection" and being strangled shortly afterwards.
Even if a bloodsucking species can manipulate others, there is no guarantee that its strength will outweigh Rebecca. Even if you win, there is no guarantee that it will lead to a revulsion.
What action does Reurus take when he pushes his enemies forward? Even if Eliza were to manipulate the Reurus and put it under control, what would happen if she did? - Eliza understands it well.
Reurus does not tolerate enemies. If hostile, the opponent will be strong, weak, and not hesitant.
What if Eliza accepts Slaus' words and tries to manipulate Reurus? What happens if they see me as an enemy?
That's why Eliza says with her chest up.
"For me... and above all for Reurus, absolutely not!
I don't know what kind of “wounds” the Reurus will leave if it chops me up. I can't refuse that.
In Eliza's words, Slause rounded her eyes as if she had glanced at her eyes, turning out the red light from her eyes.
"I didn't think I could resist my powers... but I liked that man so much, and it was dangerous at the same time. No, or is the" contract "with that man influenced? What a hassle."
As convinced, Slaus said that he was still a little stunned. Eliza turned her gaze at the slaw.
"Earlier on... before we talked about whether I could manipulate the Reurus, there was a big hole."
"Hmm... I'm interested. You want me to tell you something?
You shouldn't say anything exciting about being trapped in Slaus. I don't know if I can help my kind, but maybe they'll kill me.
Eliza tried to hide the tremors from her feet, even though she thought so. Focus your gaze as hard as you can and stare at the slaw.
"Whether or not I manipulate it is trivial… before that, Reurus will defeat you. You're already hostile to Reurus!
Slaus said only Reus would help, but Eliza shouted that the assumption was crazy.
Reurus wins, even if Slaus is the opponent. That's what Eliza believes.
With Eliza's straight line of sight and words, Slaus blinked several times. But as soon as I loosened my mouth, I laughed ironically.
"Kuku... I see. If that's the case for me... no, it's not a trick."
That said, Slaus lifts her right hand, which Eliza has thrown away. Then she turned her right hand towards Eliza, thinking that her eyes were shining red again. Then Eliza felt her consciousness begin to fade away.
"Gu... what...?"
Sleepiness with dizziness shakes your consciousness. Still, when Eliza questioned, Slaus somehow smiled bitterly.
"Not just me, but you and that bloodsucking species... I thought it would be a good idea if we had it all together, but there's no way. I will follow the role."
Last but not least, Eliza's consciousness was cut off.
