A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Talk? It's not unusual... but shouldn't Meer join us?

That said, Reurus pointed to the workshops and furnaces that Dwarves, including Calvin, are about to build, and above all, the weapons and armor that use Vanille's materials.

The enthusiasm is so great that it's likely to become hot air under the distancing Reurus. Blood as a blacksmith makes a noise, which should be described as festive noise.

In response to such a revulsion query, Meer smiles with loneliness somewhere.

"Me too, I know how everyone feels. But forgetting me like everyone else... I don't think I'm enthusiastic..."

"... is that so?"

Looking at Meer's expression, Reurus stuck his gavel. And when I glanced at the exciting Calvins, I invited Meer to distance herself from the scene.

"So, what are you talking about?

Distanced enough to hear Calvin and the others, Reurus turned to Meer. My dear companion, it's about my family. Vanille was following me, but she waved to get rid of the wild dog. Of course, it's not a vanilla that leaves me that far.

Reus gave up chasing Vanier away and lowered his hips to the nearby building materials with Meer. Meer also sat down a little next to Reurus, but the expression seemed awkward.

"Er, well... there was a fight in the town of Lemona this time, wasn't there? But I couldn't help it anymore...."

Mia leans slightly down and spits out her words with regret. However, when he heard the words of such a Meer, Reus strangely leaned his neck.

"It didn't help... I've always been so grateful for Meer, and I've been so helpful before. If it weren't for Meer, I'd be lost on my way to rescue Eliza."

From the depressed state of Meer, Reurus dares to laugh in a light tone. Of course, it is not words that tell lies about light things. The thought of being saved from the bottom of my heart seeped into my voice.

The same is true of the town of Speranza, but the structure of the sewer is not so complex. Rather, it consisted simply of pillars, walls and ceilings, but the "because" revus was more likely to get lost.

Without losing sight of the direction in a landscape that is almost irreplaceable, it is not easy to measure the exact distance in just a few steps and get to the destination.

The basement has poor visibility and is hundreds of meters wide. Even though I tried to rely on Eliza's "contract," the magical connection was thin underground, and when I went to the ground thinking, "Here," instead of going to the destination, Natalia and Slaus might have fallen into the wings of showing their faces where they were shooting magic.

In that case, Slaus would have found out what he was after and failed to rescue Eliza. I don't think Slaus was harming Eliza now, but there was no doubt that the situation had a significant negative impact.

"I'm glad you said that... but... It wasn't me, it was someone else from the dwarf. I didn't actually visit the town of Lemona at that time with a dwarf other than me, so I went there... but if I had told them the direction and the distance, I would have been able to guide them."

Meer says to mock herself sadly. Even if it wasn't Meer, Dwarfs who helped build Speranza were originally living in the “mountains” in a physical sense. As long as I knew the distance and direction, I could guide the way, Meer says.

"Well... I guess so."

The point cannot be denied, and Reurus nods small. When she heard the reply, Meer smiled weakly and muttered, right?

"But... at that time, I didn't think I'd be followed by any dwarves other than Meer."

"─ ─ Huh?"

Reurus communicates his feelings without hiding them. And I just scratched my head before I even noticed it.

"Well, if I could just tell you the distance and the direction, who would have been the dwarf... no, that didn't come to mind at all. I've seen Slaus before about Meer, and I thought it would be embarrassing if another squad found out about Meer's absence, but I didn't think about asking for anything other than Meer."

We've been through all sorts of battles together. While I was familiar with the geography of the town of Speranza, Reus thought that Meer would protect Eliza, who had been rescued, and Meer would take care of it.

Therefore, the option of asking a dwarf other than Meer had not existed on Reurus' head from the beginning.

"I'm going to help Eliza, and only Meer could be trusted to follow me in that situation... did Meer want to help Eliza, too?

"Uh-huh... of course."

"Then don't tell me it's useless. I feel like I've told you before that I'm always helping you and I'm counting on you..."

I'm sure Meer was worried, but I never thought Meer would be useless as a realuse. In the first place, I have never seen Meer for the purpose of “that kind of thing”.

That is the true truth of Reurus - Mia still smiles sadly.

"Thank you... Reurus, that's what you always say."

"I'll always tell you this, okay?

"Ahahah... thank you for listening to me all the time, and I'm ashamed of myself."

Hearing Reurus's words, Mia's expression blended with joy. But what more do you think, Meer turns her gaze to the sky.

"Yeah... that's right. Can I say something a little less loud or nasty?

"Oh, it's unusual for Meer to say that... for the first time. Say what you like... I wonder if there's a vanilla there."

As Meer exhaled her mood, Reurus saw Vernier without saying that the tortoise was too much. Vanille wasn't right next to the Reurus, but she looked at them with her gaze on her arms and her ears raised.

"You said last night, what about the wilderness? Why don't you just leave me when I'm in Meer?"

"What, the people of the earth would come over there to peel off my nails and scales... even if it was a joke, I was just a little worried about her."

Don't worry about me, Reurus exhales in a gentle wave to Vanille. There was an atmosphere that would follow me even if I moved the place.

"Reurus, I don't mind. Mr. Vanille has been asking me for a while now... and Mr. Reurus is the only one who seems to be shaking his feelings with" happy words ”."

"... if Meer is fine with that, I don't mind either. So, what are you saying?

Reurus strives to remove Vanier from sight and concentrates on Meer's story. Meer pulls her lips together and silences for a few seconds before slowly opening her mouth.

"I think this town will have less chance... but I think I'll stay in this town when you guys go on a journey."

"... why is that again?

Suddenly, Reurus blinked at Meer's words.

"This time... I don't know if I can say enemy, but you caught Elizabeth, right? That's what I thought. Reurus, if something like this happens while I'm traveling with you..." From now on ", I'm the one who's more likely to get caught."

Mia spins her words to hide her feelings. Meanwhile, Meer looked down at her hands and opened and closed them several times.

"Reurus, if you're with us, maybe... yeah, I'm sure you'll try to protect us. But if everybody gets hurt to protect me, I can't forgive myself."

That said, Meer firmly gripped her hands into the shape of a fist.

The creature Dwarf is intermediate among the monsters. It's stronger than any other monster or soldier who can handle weapons. But what if, like the battle that broke out in the town of Lemona, we were caught up in a battle with a group of advanced people?

Until now, there were many shapes that would challenge all of the Reurus against a strong monster. Alternatively, Reurus took on a strong opponent, and Meer and the others were in charge of the other opponents.

“That” is out of Meer's hands - what happens if, to be precise, all of them are out of Meer's hands?

Reurus tells me he's counting on it, but he can't keep up with it. While I was on my way to take care of my weapons and armor, there was little room for Meer to play a role in battle.

Besides, of Eliza, Sarah, Meer, and Neddy, Meer is the only one who doesn't have a 'deal' with Reurus. Essentially, what is called a "contract" is done by people with enough strength to make a contract, but Eliza is a bloodsucking species, and Sarah and Neddy are "easy to make a contract" with spirits.

But Meer, the dwarf, is not. I don't think it has the strength to make a 'contract' with Reus, and even if it does, it won't benefit Reus.

In addition, this is Meer's monster intuition.

(Elizabeth will be stronger from now on... but I...)

--The foundation that makes you stronger is not brilliant.

As a monster, there are many people in the world who don't have teeth in Meer. In the town of Speranza, in addition to Slaus, even Reurus appeared as a mysterious black object dying.

Eliza is about to become a bloodsucking species. Originally, Sarah was a Spirit with flame magic enough to shoot advanced magic, and Neddy was a Spirit that controlled the two attributes of water and ice.

Meer thinks what she has compared to Eliza and the others.

It is Calvin, who is the father of blacksmiths and magic equipment makers. Dwarves are a powerful species, but inferior to Reurus. The way to fight is also powerful, and there is hardly anything to call technology. Even if you acquire the technology to fight, you will not be able to resist if you put an overwhelming force forward.

When Lewis compares himself with his companions and those he calls his family, Meer feels a heartbreaking pain. It is a feeling of inferiority that is close to black, dark and dull jealousy.

(Ah... I don't know...)

Meer seemed ugly to think about such things, and she was very weak and disgusted to consult with Reurus about such things.

…………

While listening to Meer and appreciating his mood, Reurus keeps silence.

I can't say it's irresponsible to be strong then.

Reurus also learns how to fight with Collard and polishes it in action. I can't say that I know how to be stronger or stronger against others.

“Somewhat” will be stronger if you teach Collard like Reurus and acquire various technologies, but will it reach the level that Meer is looking for?

As Meer thought, Eliza would have enough stretch to grow stronger. On the other hand, how about Meer?

There is no attribute magic talent, and I cannot say that I am blessed with the ability to "strengthen" auxiliary magic as a wizard. If the magic amount is huge, "Enhancement" alone will be enough weapon, but there is not enough magic amount to be proud of.

As a realuse, I want you to stay with me, even if Meer is not strong. I've never thought about staying with you because you're strong. Because Meer is Meer, I want you to stay with me.

However, those words will not reach Meer today. Even if it arrives, I don't think I can get rid of the feelings that are rooted in Meer.

If we can't keep silent, Reurus can go around thinking.

If you want Meer to grow stronger, you can ask Collard to learn how to fight with a hammer. If you need a better weapon, you can split the material from the vanilla. If there is no other way, we should just look around.

Reurus thought so and tried to say something to stop Meer.

"- Then, Reurus, why don't you make a" contract "with me?"

Vaniel, who was listening, said that.
