A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 468: Thoughts, Troubles

The day after dawn.

Unable to digest the stories I heard from Vaniel, Tina, and Natalia the day before yesterday, Reurus was in the morning.

After that, I went back to my room, but various thoughts passed my head, and I could hardly sleep. It feels a little sleepy, but it's only a few dozen. I didn't sleep and spent my time thinking.

Still, it wasn't thought deep enough to come to a conclusion, and in the end, Reurus revealed the night just by worrying. It was still early to wake up, and while lying on the bed and looking up at the ceiling, Reurus spent some time thinking.

(Marriage... marriage...)

Because it was something I didn't do in my previous life, I don't really feel it. When the opponent becomes Natalia, there is no extra sense of reality.

Of course, I don't hate Natalia. Rather, Reurus thinks it's a good match.

I didn't mean to start by saying that I can't take it honestly because I have an idea of being a lord, not a Reurus person.

I can't deny that Natalia and I have a part to play as lords, but I wanted to greet my son-in-law and share the future. Reurus scratches his head without doubt that he would have been as nervous as he should have been and that he is ashamed.

(It's just....)

That's right, I couldn't talk about other women at the scene, but Reurus was beside Eliza, Sarah, Meer and Neddy.

Of course, there's no such thing as being married to Elizabeth and being in love. However, from Reurus, who was aware that she was “responsible” for Eliza and the others, she felt unable to immediately respond to Natalia's offer.

(Sarah and Neddy... well, even if I were to marry someone, would you be able to do something about it because they're spirits who have a contract...?

Even if the person you're marrying doesn't admit that there are other women beside Reurus at all, you can't say "cut the spirits off" in Mataroi, where spiritualism is infiltrating.

Especially, Sarah will be cut off - if she becomes a winner to cancel the "contract", she will disappear. It was absolutely unacceptable as a revulsion.

(Natalia wouldn't say that either... would she?

As a matter of fact, if Natalia were monopolistic, jealous, and tied up with a man she welcomed to her husband, the possibilities would not be zero. But Reurus thinks that's exactly what it is.

(And then Eliza and Meer... those two...)

Hmm, I just roared in my heart.

It is not a stone stone compared to a realuse, and in previous life, I have acquired love experience commensurate with my age. In this world, there is a part of common sense that is too different than in the previous life, so there may be some difference in thought, but Eliza and Meer did not hate it - in short, it was felt that they liked it.

However, when compared to Eliza and Meer, Eliza is stronger and more emotional. This is not to underestimate Meer's feelings, it is a big difference in the situation that has been put in place.

Meer has many family members and acquaintances with her father, Calvin, such as the face of the original settlement. In that regard, Eliza is lonely all over the world.

My grandmother and my parents were killed by Gregorians, and my grandfather, Slaus, was brought back to life with some cause and effect the other day. It's easy to see how Reurus feels when he calls Eliza a family member.

Reurus' feelings for Eliza and the others are such a big family affection. Speaking of feelings for the opposite sex...

(Meaning, I started living in my home quite naturally, but Meer didn't have to live in my home because she had Calvin's grandmother... no, that's what she asked me to do... I wonder what I'm doing.)

Reurus thinks that there is no benefit in running away from one's own thoughts.

Reurus is already an adult in this world. According to the stories I've heard so far, it's not strange to be married at about the age of Reurus, and women are even married at a younger age than their predecessors.

According to common sense in this world, Eliza and Meer are in their midst of age. Sarah and Neddy do not understand common sense because of spirits, and even though Sarah only has consciousness, they live longer than Reurus, including the previous life.

(In the case of civilians, is it okay to be a little older? Speaking of which, my noble daughter, Ruvillia, was my age, and she said...?

And Ruvillia's face appeared behind Reurus' head. We haven't seen each other for more than six months since we met in King's Landing, but the difference between a noble daughter and an adventurer is too great. Maybe I won't see you for the rest of my life.

For the first time in this world, Ruvillia has spoken plainly in favor. When I remembered that time, I felt a little sadness as a revulsion.

…………

Reurus tilted his neck to the feeling of passing his chest. However, he smiles bitterly as soon as he is convinced.

(After eating the magic of that black one, I think my stomach is swollen...)

Reurus realizes that the “anomaly" that once occurred after the calming down of many of the monsters that inhabit Baron Amondola's territory is now happening to his own body.

Originally, some of the magic had accumulated quite a bit, but the magic gained from the black sphere was abundant and there was enough to fill the body of Reurus. That's why Reurus realizes that emotions are easier to move than usual.

(Vaniel and Natalia said, "Oh, you told me," but I don't know what's really going on....)

Normal revulsions don't bother you so much. I think it's about time I got hungry and headed for breakfast.

However, the “current state” makes me feel crazy. Usually there are three main desires, such as 90% appetite, 9% sleep appetite, and one minute sexual desire, but they are not so extreme now. The appetite is also fine, probably about 70% to 80%.

If I depleted my magic, I would be back, but I'm not in the mood right now. Reurus continues to think vaguely, as he remembers the sense of “as a human being.”

(As for Eliza and the others... corona.)

The last thing Reurus thought about was Corona.

A girl who saved her life and spent only a few months under the same roof. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that I am now because of Corona and Dominic.

"Mm...."

As soon as I thought of Corona, the belly bug rang, saying that I shouldn't have remembered hunger before. As a result, Reurus wakes up from the bedside and murmurs.

"I haven't seen him or Corona in a while... I'm having dinner made by the two of you."

Even though I murmur, I can't go to Laval Waste just to eat their food.

Reurus sighed and left the room to wake up.

And as Reurus opened the door to his room, he met Eliza, who was just coming down the stairs.

"Ah, good morning."

When Reurus and I met, Eliza smiled naturally.

"... oh, good morning."

Reurus, who saw Eliza smiling, slightly distracted himself as he returned his greetings. I learned about Natalia last night, what I've been thinking about, the awkwardness.

"Mm... did something happen?

As she watched the realuse, Eliza rushed in worried. Reurus folded his knees and aligned his eyes with Eliza's height - well, he noticed.

(... that? Eliza, are you getting taller again?

As I had thought before, I felt that Eliza was growing in height. At the same time, it seems that her face is changing from a girl to a woman. It seemed like there was a strange charm of cuteness and beauty living together.

(It's strange... when something like this happened before, when I woke up with a full stomach...)

It has been more than ten days since I was filled with the magic of the black sphere. I've been asleep for about five days, but it's been days since I woke up.

Now aware of Eliza's change - or her own - Reurus peered into Eliza's face with his hand on his chin and leaned his neck.

"That's weird... you're feeling crazy again, no, you're back?

"Huh? What are you talking about?

"I'm talking about how Eliza looks cute... no, I've always thought she was cute, but I don't get the same impression. It's not like my hair has changed..."

"Hmm!?

Hearing Reurus's words, Eliza opened her eyes in dismay. After a few seconds, the skin gradually turned red from neck to face, opening his mouth as if confused.

"What, what, what, what!? It happened before, but really what!? It was when I forgot..."

As she screamed, Eliza began to fix her hair with her hand comb. As he wandered his gaze over here, he adjusted his hair with a comb.

"Come on, yesterday I thought something was wrong and I was worried... uhh, uhh! Reurus, uhh!

As if Eliza had lost her vocabulary, she loosened her cheeks as she stepped on the dungeon with a swearing momentum.

Are you angry or happy? Looking at Eliza, Reurus nodded one by one.

"... okay, let's have breakfast."

"That's not the second time, you!

Immediately afterwards, Reurus hugged Eliza and moved to the side, but felt the softness of a girl and frowned.

Unlike Reurus, who wears armor and keeps swinging the Dragon Slash, Eliza, a luxurious category of adventurers, is light and soft.

Yes, it was a revulsion tilting his neck, but the door of the guest room opened to hear the noise. It was Natalia that came out of the guest room, and when she saw Reurus, she smiled bitterly.

"Speaking of noise from the morning... Reurus, what the hell are you doing?

"Na... no, I wonder what I'm doing too..."

Reurus felt uncomfortable and distracted herself as she lowered Eliza to the floor. Then Eliza turned her eyes to protest the revulsion again, dressing up and hair disturbances in anger.

"─ ─ Huh?"

Speak quietly, as if you felt something. The line of sight was directed equally towards Reurus and Natalia, and Reurus leaned his neck to something.

"What? What's the matter with you?

"Nh... uhh, yeah, it's my fault! Yeah, it's my fault! I just remembered I had business with Natalia! Yeah!"

"Really?

Reurus nodded at Eliza's momentum. I looked at Natalia and she nodded slightly.

"What an unusual thing to do from Eliza's daughter... I've heard some stories yesterday, and I can take some time if I give Collard some instructions."

"Uhh... well, that's what I'm asking you to do."

Aren't you going to talk right now? Eliza turns to the right and runs towards the living room.

Reurus scratched his head in trouble when he dropped Eliza's back.
