A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The gate separating the town of Lemona from the outside blows with a roar. The door, which was supposed to open towards the outside of town, flew “inward” and rolled to the ground, raising sand and dust.

Multiple people step into the town of Lemona as they scatter the dust that has rolled up.

Sarah and Neddy, Natalia and Gilba, Rebecca, plus Chris and Tina's sisters. And the total number of Reurus carrying the "Dragon Slasher" was eight.

"Hey, Natalia. Didn't you try not to do as much damage as you could? Suddenly I broke the gate, but won't you get mad at me later?

Sarah stepped into the town of Lemona and called out to Natalia, who stood at the top. The gaze was directed towards the gates that Natalia had blown away, tilting her neck to see if there was a problem.

Naturally, the castle gate is made to be very sturdy. It is a range that can be opened and closed to allow people to enter and exit, but it was made sturdy and heavy enough to defend against monster raids and other soldiers when attacking.

The gates of the town of Lemona are made of thick wood and reinforced with iron. Destroying this would normally require an offensive weapon such as a broken castle hammer.

But Natalia was destroying the gates alone. To make sure there were no signs of residents around the gates, they destroyed it without asking questions.

The method is as simple as hitting a magically generated wind. But it was so powerful that Chris, who manipulated wind magic just like Natalia, had his eyes round.

"You can't be sure Baron Barberie isn't here, can you? The residents haven't been harmed, so we'll just have to do the bloodsucking."

Then Natalia waved her hand and said lightly, like dusting with the wind. Sarah leaned her neck again, but Natalia smiled bitterly at Sarah's appearance.

"This is more convenient, and I'm doing this because I can catch my eye. We promised to minimize the damage as much as possible, but this is what we need."

"Sarah, it's a little rough, but I don't know what to do."

Gilba embarrassed Sarah with a bitter smile. Considering the upcoming battle, I decided it was necessary to secure a path leading out of town.

"Hmm... if Natalia says it's okay, then it's okay!

"... no one got hurt."

Admittedly, Sarah nodded with a smile and looked around to make sure there were no injured people.

"Instead of injured people, I don't see any inhabitants at all... well, if you can do something like me, you can't waste your power."

Just like Neddy, Rebecca, who was checking her surroundings, whispered with ease, yet without looking alarmed. There was Chris and Tina beside her, but she was silent and watching her surroundings.

…………

And Reurus, who was listening to Natalia and the others, was silent again. She is staring at the distance with no expression.

"Fufu... anything bothering you? Nothing draws the attention of" My Prince "?

…………

Rebecca laughed at the Reurus, but Reurus remained silent and said nothing. Rebecca smiles deeply at Reurus's reaction and looks away, imitating Reurus. And a few seconds later, I opened my mouth again.

"Ugh... it's moving, yeah, it's moving."

There is no one here who can misread the meaning of Rebecca's words. It was only a few seconds of error that everyone on the spot noticed the change in circumstances.

It sounds like an earthquake from afar. The sound is approaching with a change that can be felt as if the ground were vibrating slightly if the person with a sharp sense.

"Wow! There he is!

Sarah shouted in surprise when she noticed “it.”

Beyond the gaze of all those who were there - from the center of the town, I saw a crowd of people approaching at once.

Regardless of gender or age, each group comes running with a weapon in their hand. In addition to weapons such as swords and spears, the sound and vibration of a group holding knives and wooden sticks still echoed to the Natalians at a distance.

I wonder if Slaughter is manipulating it and "strengthening" it. Natalia, who destroyed the castle gate, saw the residents coming straight at a different speed than ordinary people.

"I wonder how many... hundreds. It might be to check our strength, but we can't afford to diminish it. I've heard it's a powerful bloodsucker, but I wonder if it's immature as a general."

A group whose emotional expression seemed to have fallen out, but whose killing was only steadfast - Natalia, who saw the inhabitants of the town of Lemona, murmured as if stunned.

But as soon as I switched my mind, I turned to Neddy.

"Well, then, please do as you're supposed to."

"... leave it to me"

As Natalia spoke, Neddy stepped forward. And he looked seriously at the coming residents, but somewhere sad.

"I'll definitely... help you"

As she murmured, Neddy touched the ground with her magic. Then, the next moment, I followed Neddy's will and the ice magic was released.

However, even when it comes to ice magic, it is not directly aimed at residents. Neddy's aim is at the feet of the approaching inhabitants - the surface.

The ground is frozen with a buzzing sound. Front of Neddy and the others, ice is created by covering the boulevard's ground.

The thickness of the ice was less than one centimeter, but that was enough. The residents who were heading in a straight line slipped their feet, and the momentum they ran continued to thrive.

"Hmm... as far as I'm concerned, I thought it was" yes ”, but as expected."

Natalia murmured as she watched the inhabitants slip their feet through the ice that covered the surface.

"Reinforcement" is applied, so even if the momentum falls well, there will be no major injury. However, due to the danger of falling, only inhabitants who are likely to fall badly use the wind to lift them up and roll them over the ice. Together with that, the weapon in your hand will fly in the wind as much as possible to avoid getting hurt.

Neddy's ice slipped his feet about 70% of the rushing residents. Slaus noticed the situation, and the remaining 30% changed course before falling and jumped up to the surrounding houses.

They're going to scaffold around buildings that aren't covered with ice, not the surface. On both sides of the boulevard, there are a variety of buildings, large and small, but it's easy to fly and move like a monkey if 'fortified'.

Of course, you can't escape Natalia at that level.

As Natalia waved her hand, the residents collapsed and fell into the boulevard.

"Wow... hey Natalia, are you sure you're okay? Some fell, but others fell off the roof, didn't they get hurt?

Sarah spoke out in fear of Natalia, who made the inhabitants fall on ice by knocking them down. Those who fell and those who fell tried to stand up, but they slipped and fell again with only a few movements.

"I'm dropping it off my feet so I can't die. I'll give you a signal."

"Yeah, let me handle it!

When she heard Natalia's instructions, Sarah turned her right hand to the sky and fired a fireball. Then it went up for a few seconds before it burst and made an explosion sound.

In attacking the town of Lemona, Natalia chose a few assaults - but as far as we had heard about Slaus, we didn't think it would be enough.

That's why I use anything I can.

"Come on, let's go!

Without leaving Sarah's signal for a short while, there was a group diving through the castle gate. It's Dwarfs headed by Calvin, trying to get past Natalia and enter the boulevard.

Calvin and the others crushed the thin ice and jumped to the residents trying to get up.

Of course, I'm not thinking of Calvin and the others as a force. It is Natalia's job to fight the inhabitants manipulated by Slaus and Slaus.

Natalia asks Calvin and the others not for combat, but for transportation.

Residents who still have weapons pick up or destroy them and disable them from beginning to end. And when I picked up the inhabitants, I began to return to the original path at full speed.

There were about thirty dwarves coming in, and each dwarf retreated with two residents.

No matter how much Slause "strengthens" the physical abilities of residents, it does not extend to the physical abilities of the intermediate monster, Dwarf. Even though it was small, it had excellent strength, and there was a big difference with dwarfs who could use "enhancements".

Of course, the residents were not held hostage, but the resistance was not so harsh as to escape Calvin's captivity.

"Leave them out, they'll be back, but don't let the bloodsuckers come this way!

"Yeah, I'll take care of it."

Calvin, who was running from the gate to the outside of town, called out to Natalia, and Natalia answered.

Outside the town of Lemona, adventurers were waiting to take part in the development of the town of Speranza, and the inhabitants brought by Calvin were supposed to take over the transport “as soon as they grow up”.

Natalia has nothing to worry about as he leaves it to Collard to lead the adventurers.

(It would have been quite troublesome to manipulate it with your own will like a "doll." But if you need to manipulate the person you put under your control yourself, you can do as much as you want.....)

Natalia thinks so as she takes the pipe out of her pocket. The line of sight passed through the rest of the residents who sealed off the movement and turned towards Baron Barberie's mansion in the heart of the town.

The distance and the number of buildings in between make it impossible to see the full picture. But there are signs of a lot of people. The fact that there is a slaw in there can be easily seen from the magnitude of the magic.

"Now, what will you do next? If you reduce your strength like this, it will end easily....."

If the opponent (Slaus) gains the magic of the inhabitants, they can override that assumption. Even if we send the remaining residents together, hundreds of them will manipulate Slaus' “way of doing things" at the same time.

Whether to shred your strength or attack them all at once. Natalia narrowed her gaze so that she could see the movement of Slaus.
