A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"... I think it was quite a distance from Volcano Veos, but did you notice?

Reus, who heard Vanille's words, asked unexpectedly.

I have a lot to say, but Reurus thought it might be difficult. How far do you think it is from the volcano of Veos to the town of Lemona?

But Vanille answers Reurus' questions casually.

"I wouldn't have noticed the same thing on other continents, but on this continent it's different. Besides, it's too distinctive."

Vernier, I assure you, in a tone that just doesn't take it for granted. When Reurus is suspicious of the response, Vanille spins the words to explain it to the deaf child.

"Reurus, why do you think you're nesting in my Veos volcano? That place is the center of the continent. Does the central point mean that you can run as fast as you can" whatever "happens?

Vernier talks seriously, but his gaze moves unexpectedly. Meer, Gilba, and Collard were the first three people to move their gaze.

"But even if we talk about the future, there are people who don't deserve it... as a child fox, as a Gregorian bishop, I suppose?

"... I won't deny it. However, even if I talk to Tina, I just want to keep it to" monster eating "and" wind dust ". I don't think you will give it away, but I want to reduce the number of" teaching "as much as possible."

In the words of Vanille and Tina, Reurus moved his eyebrows.

I thought Vanilla and Gregorian facades would kill each other if they met, but as far as Vanilla's mouth goes, they don't seem to be apart from Tina. Tina also seemed to have feelings for Vanille, but there was no such thing as a quick kill.

"You can tell anyone who has a 'contract' with Reurus. As for your water and ice spirits... hmm? Reurus, when did you make the" contract "with the Spirit?

"About ten days ago... is that something?

"Hmm... there are two spirits in the bloodsucking species. How dare you stay flat. If that were the case, it might have been safe to sign my" contract. "

"Hmm!?

Tina looked at Vanille in dismay as she listened to the conversation between Reus and Vanille. I saw it clearly because I didn't have a fox face, but it looked like a little reaction like it looked.

"No, or have you changed to make a contract?” It's a strange thing to do. You don't tire of me. "

Vanille laughs as funny as she says, but her expression quickly returns to something serious.

"There are only men and spirituals among the people of the earth. You guys stay out. Spiritual... was it Gilba? As for me, I can see that you are qualified, but with a promise. If you don't think you're qualified, you can talk."

"... if that's the case, I can't help it. Let's say we're out."

Gilba listens to Vanille, shows some satisfaction, and pulls back. Collard's face revealed a relaxing atmosphere, and Mea...

…………

He was silent and looked down sadly. There is no clear rebellion about what you think. Still, he gripped his fist with regret.

"Meer....."

Calling such a name, Reurus crouched down a little to keep his gaze high. And I gently stroked Meer's head.

"Listen to me and I'll talk to you later if I can. But...."

"Yeah... I'm out too, right?

Meea nodded honestly to Reurus' words without thinking that Vaniel would turn the foreword around. And when Reurus smiled and nodded back, he left the living room with Zilba and Collard.

After confirming that the three had left the house, Vanier resumed the conversation. At that time, Sarah, who had been caught earlier, was thrown towards Reurus. I suppose you mean be quiet.

"So... something must have popped into the cracking of the sky. That's what Reurus and your daughter did, right?

"The only person who can say that I took care of it is Mr. Kanji. I stood in front of you and bought time... that's all."

The last black sphere to self-destruct, but it was definitely Natalia who inflicted enough wounds to self-destruct. When it comes to revulsions, it's all about slashing tentacles and standing in front of them and taking on attacks.

Hmm, I see. I thought you'd slash it without asking questions and eat it. "

"... I didn't eat it. Yeah, I didn't eat it."

I only absorbed the tentacles that had come into my body, but I didn't eat them. I didn't think you could chew and eat objects that could easily be slashed while destroying the "Dragon Slash" blade.

Tina turned her eyes to say something with her face, but Reurus tried to ignore it.

"Really... did you do that stupid imitation?"

Having said that, Vanille narrowed her eyes as if she had seen the state of the revus.

"How do you feel about fighting?

"I don't know... it was probably a good one. Somehow, it didn't feel like a normal monster."

"Well, I guess. I have encountered it several times before, but it is impossible to call it a“ normal monster. "

Vaniel nods to agree with Reurus. From Vaniel's perspective, it appears that the black sphere is out of the ordinary range.

Vanille nodded in response to Reurus, turning her gaze to Tina.

"This is not something I have checked directly with the Gregorians... but I can see what they're doing and why they're doing it. Son of a fox, do you Gregorians want to kill this thing?

…………

Tina did not return a clear word, but nodded small with her eyes down. But when he heard it, Reurus raised his doubts.

"Wait a minute. As far as I know, the Gregorians must be after the advanced monsters. Depending on the case, it doesn't matter how much more advanced it is, but how does that lead to killing this guy?

If only we could defeat that black sphere or something like it, we should be targeting you directly. Tina raised her eyebrows small in response to Reurus, who had such a doubt.

"Before I answer that, I want to ask you. How do you hear about Gregorian doctrines?

I have asked similar questions to various other people. For this reason, Reus spins words while remembering when he “first heard” about Gregorianism.

I first heard about Gregorianism from Esther, a spiritual teacher.

"... a religion that believes in powerful monsters as' gods', but takes the lead in hunting the 'gods' that are supposed to be the object of that faith?

Even so, Reurus feels an unspeakable discomfort. I felt that something very strange was mixed up in the remarks I made.

(This feeling... is like when I talked to you before...)

A feeling of discomfort similar to what I remember when I first heard about the existence of "rare people".

When I heard the story from Esther, I didn't feel particularly uncomfortable, but when I tried using the word again now, I felt strangely uncomfortable.

I thought about it - Reurus quickly realized it.

("God"... God, huh? That's right, when I first heard it, I felt too uncomfortable and didn't even notice, but there was no God, and I never heard of him in Shena Village....)

Even when my parents died, I never prayed to God just to bury them in the cemetery of the village.

I have ever wondered why words make sense. Natalia also told me that people who used to be serfs in the village of Shena speak strange words.

I didn't doubt it because it was a word that came out of the mouth of a religious official named Esther, but I accepted it flatly because it was the first word I had heard since I was born in this world.

The memories of the previous life are worn out, but I remember exactly what the existence of God is like. Even Reurus, who was the object of religion and belief and lived in Japan loosely with regard to religion, prayed to God.

Believe in and kill powerful monsters as gods. It was a Reurus who remembered the heterogeneity of Gregorian doctrines, but what if “killing a powerful monster leads to something”?

It was a Reurus that thought that “something” was strength or power in another country, but what if there was more?

If there is a good reason to gather the skill of a bishop and hunt for advanced monsters.

(Maybe I...)

--I may have heard the answer wrong from the beginning.

Tina tells me to affirm her thoughts, even though it was a revus to think like that.

"That perception is generally correct. However, we Gregorians… especially those who are more than bishops, and some priests do not kill powerful monsters while believing that they are gods."

Once the words were cut off, Tina shouted her emotions and killed her.

"I see it as a god and kill it... because then the recognition that God is something I can kill spreads."

Tina's 'God' is the black sphere that she fought in the town of Lemona.

That came to mind when Reurus unexpectedly sighed several times.
