A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

― ― Time goes back to the time when Reurus fell right after the battle.

Immediately after the black sphere blew itself up and the slaw vanished. Suddenly, Eliza turned pale as Reurus fell on the spot.

I have seen the scene of Reurus being indifferent many times before, but this time it is not the same as before. He suffered more serious injuries than he did when he was decapitated by the "Neck Hunter", and each time he blocked the injuries, he fought through the battle.

Now your grandfather vanished before his eyes, and Reurus fell. Eliza was deeply afraid of the fact.

─!

After a while, he stopped and rushed to Reurus.

Even if you break your heart with fear, it's later. First, check the status of the revulsion and bring Gilba for treatment if necessary. That might save Reurus.

I couldn't fight this battle, I just pulled my leg. “That's why” Eliza arouses herself.

But Eliza suddenly closed her mouth after checking Reurus' condition.

"What... this..."

Even Eliza, who was not good at magic, felt powerful magic from Reurus. The magic is thrown around like a whirlpool.

Strangely enough, Reurus's expression is calm. He's asleep as if he's comfortable, but he doesn't seem to wake up. I checked and found that all the wounds sustained when the black sphere blew itself up were blocked, so that the contrast with the worn out armor was heterogeneous.

"This is...."

Just like Eliza, Natalia, who had checked Reus' condition, raised her eyebrows puzzled.

Natalia cannot use healing magic, but she was originally leading a team in the National Army. I was also familiar with first-aid benefits on the battlefield that were inferior to my real job, but I couldn't even figure out the state of Reurus.

Breathing and pulse are stable, and all wounds in the body are blocked. Although I fought for a long time, I didn't feel any magic exhaustion. Except for worn-out armor and bloody clothing, I looked healthy.

Natalia tries to shake the Reurus slightly, but it still doesn't seem to happen. Natalia, who is supposed to be intact, is more likely to be seriously ill due to fatigue and magic depletion because Reurus has survived.

"... I have a lot to worry about, but I have to check the damage first."

I don't know when I'll wake up, but I think I should just let him sleep somewhere safe. Natalia's judgment switches to thinking as a governor.

But Neddy was in a hurry before Natalia could move. Crouching down beside Reurus, he peeked seriously into Reurus' face.

"Neddy? What's wrong... no, what's wrong?

Eliza asks if she feels uncomfortable with Neddy's condition. But Neddy didn't answer, and began to turn his expression into something steep.

…………

Neddy puts his right hand near Reurus' heart silently. Then pull your lips together, shake your eyes to endure something, and destroy the heart of Reurus with the ice created by gathering magic in your right hand.

"Eh...."

Just before that, Neddy sprayed the magic. Then he shook his head many times with a sad expression, and for some reason he lifted and hugged Reus' head and began stroking his hair.

"... Neddy?

Neddy's bizarre behavior suddenly occurred. Eliza, who was looking at it, called Neddy's name in suspicion.

Eliza doesn't notice what Neddy was trying to do. Reurus told her family that Eliza herself was a family member and a friend, and she never thought of what Neddy was trying to do.

(That was... no way...)

But only Natalia was aware of what Neddy was trying to do. So if Neddy was really trying to hurt the Reurus, he would have instantly tried to play Neddy with the wind magic.

From Natalia's eyes, Neddy looks sadly, painfully and calmly at Reurus, who should be asleep. I didn't even know why I was stroking my head, but there must be something I think about.

Sarah and Meer were also worriedly staring at Reurus, but seemed more than surprised by Neddy's strange behavior. However, Neddy did not pay attention to the surrounding gaze and stroked Reurus' head once and changed his posture, and now he hugged Reurus from the front.

"Hah!? Hey, what are you doing!?

She complains as Sarah barks when she sees it. Nevertheless, Neddy did not let go of the Reurus, but put his strength into the arms he held so that he could protect what was important to him.

"Because Neddy..." I'll protect you... "

The sound of the wind is likely to scratch you off. At the same time as that murmur, Neddy's magic strengthens and begins to connect with the magic of Reurus.

Those around him opened their eyes to what Neddy had done.

This is the third time for Reurus, a new "contract."

"... I don't want to melt it..."

Even smaller than before, the noise-free murmur. No one had heard of it, and Neddy, who had made the "contract" over several decades, slowly turned his back on Reurus and turned to Natalia.

"It was very dangerous, but I made a 'contract', so it was pretty good. Wait for the rest to happen naturally and stabilize...?

Natalia sighs when Neddy talks like that. Even though it was decided to bother my head after this incident, I felt like it was a pile of new problems.

(... how long will it take?

Natalia thinks about the future in her head and realizes that she will not be able to sleep in Lok if there is no revus in battle. However, I don't think Natalia can help but stand on her feet and see the struggle of Reurus in this battle.

"Ke, you signed a 'contract'!? What are you really doing!? Hey, what the hell are you doing!?

Natalia sighs again thinking about the future as she hears the voice of Sarah eating at Neddy.

Even Natalia didn't expect Reurus to wake up for five days at this time.

And confirmation of the situation in the town of Lemona was confusing.

As Hector, the ruler, is in the town of Speranza, Collard, who was in charge of the adventurers, rushed back to the town of Speranza, in the meantime proceeding to ascertain the material and human damage to the town.

With regard to physical damage, many require some time to rebuild, such as houses that were destroyed in the aftermath of the fighting, castle gates that were destroyed during incursions, and sunken ground.

However, since it is easy to confirm such things as "where and how broken", it is not that difficult.

The problem was the confirmation of human injury, which was very difficult. Although the inhabitants of the town regained consciousness by breaking free from Slaus' rule, the situations placed in each were very different.

Slaus stopped the operation on the way, so anyone who rolled around town and regained consciousness is still good. Some people were confused as to why they slept in such a place, but not only did they have no memory, but they were not injured and were lucky enough to be able to return immediately.

Many of them woke up in chaos while being transported to the dwarf, waking up in a situation surrounded by adventurers away from the town of Lemona.

Also, the person who had been beaten up by a magic doll imitating Reurus was not dead, but the degree of injury was severe, and in addition to confusion, he became a feather that rolled around with pain.

Until Hector came back, Natalia, in the name of Baron Amendura, had to lead the team and heal these chaos.

There was a lot of work to be done to ask Jilba, who was disabling the residents, to push Chris and Tina against Rebecca, who was disabling the residents in the same way as Jilba, and to choose a less popular place to let the Winged Dragon escape the town.

After Hector returned to the town of Lemona, Natalia continued to move throughout the night, explaining the situation and taking over command, explaining the end of the battle, etc.

What is particularly troubling is that unlike the “ordinary monster”, there is no slaw body left.

I was told in advance that this incident was caused by a blood sucking species, and Hector was somewhat convinced because he did not remember. However, if we go back to the town of Lemona, the buildings will collapse there, the castle gates will be shattered, and many people will be injured.

I appreciate Natalia's actions without Slaus' body, but I'm not entirely convinced. Of course, I don't think that Natalia and the others conspired to manipulate the inhabitants of the town of Lemona, causing one incident this time, but not enough damage to accept everything without complain.

However, in this battle, the damage is very minor if the advanced monster is exposed. If they were bad, the town would have been completely destroyed, and the inhabitants could even have been killed.

If Slaus had been “that way”, everyone would have lost their lives, not just the inhabitants, but Hector. If Natalia explains it lightly, she nods as Hector.

If the opponent was a monster other than Slaus, the corpse would have remained, and there was a possibility that the material of the advanced monster would have been converted into money compared to the damage to the town. Alternatively, the body could have been stripped and left behind, and it could have been used to foil the house saying, "I was attacked by an advanced monster, but I was able to defeat it."

There was no profit, only damage to towns and residents. On top of that, Baron Amondola made a huge - and very huge - debt to Natalia.

As for Hector, there were bees on the crying side, and Saniel, a merchant in the town of Lemona, bought building materials to help build the town of Speranza, so that he had to turn to rebuilding the town.

Of course, Natalia is also smiling and agreeing on this matter, selling "loans” at a high price. In addition, Calvin and the dwarves, who were helped to neutralize the inhabitants, were called upon to help rebuild the town in a short period of time.

In the meantime, Reurus never happened, and Eliza and the others were more committed to rebuilding the town than just being next to Reurus. In particular, Gilba, whose face was wide enough to use healing magic, was as difficult as Natalia, but she couldn't play a major role in the fight against Slaus, so she was dedicated to treating the residents.

A spiritual, magical, fire-producing Sarah. And Neddy, who was able to produce ice and water, was so hard to pull. Eliza and Meer were looking for what they could do, and they were taking the initiative to help.

--After five days of hearing about those circumstances, Reus had a very narrow shoulder.
