The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape

"... let me, Mr. Spirit King?

The change in the person in front of me wasn't just about the face. Remias' lush, rustic hair has also changed to a clear silver color.

The creepy thing is that even though she's exposed to this radiant beauty, the clothes are just a little wild that Remias has been wearing until now.

"Ah, I didn't really realize that face. When I heard from around Wonok, I thought Remias and the Spirit King were the same person.... I guess it would have been fun if I hadn't told you."

With a dazzling glamorous look, "... I had to tell you it was funny", the Spirit King could only remember the discomfort of the pleasant criminal Remias, but that's why I can understand that they are really the same person.

"Wait, does Remias mean the Spirit King... Ed's father is Remias!?

"That's the way it is."

In a light affirmation, Ruth felt his image of the Spirit King collapse.

A gorgeous, divine, serious, and thoughtful father - his fantasy is filled with bearded pleasure killer Remias.

"... then I also came to the village during the Zenobian season"

"It's up to you to follow my son. The festival is just a tribute."

Ruth's mind was questioned, as if he had enjoyed the festival well. However, if you think about it carefully, you realize that a ridiculous type like Remias took care of the stranger (Ed) a lot more enthusiastically. Remias appeared at the same time as Ed came to the village.

Remias leaves the face of the Spirit King and tells me honestly about the situation in his loose tone.

"So you weren't dressed differently because you didn't want Ed to know you were following you?

"Hmm, the other way around. My nature is this way."

That said, Remias' face returns to the original inert beard. Ruth was somehow more relieved. Mainly in relation to glare.

"Because I put on the cool one first, I can't look like this in front of my son. I always look like an attacker in front of a crowd."

"Did Ed tell you that?

"... not yet"

"Please tell me quickly."

"Let my uncle stay" cool dad "for a bit longer - he'll find out in a few years anyway"

I couldn't believe Remias was the father, but he was kind enough to stroke his son (Ed). When I heard about it, it seemed like I had been supporting my son after he jumped out of the house, and I came to pick him up as soon as something happened. Somehow I'm drowning. At least you want to remain dignified until they find out.

"If you keep it to yourself, I'll tell you..."

"What do you want?

"You have a fance, right?

"The Four Gods' Fan God... is this about Mr. Fan?

I remember talking in Wonok's room a while ago.

He treated Wonok in a calm and gentle atmosphere with no fear at all.

"That's it. He's my brother."

"Huh!? Mr. Fance, Mr. Remias' brother!?

Fans were also called the Four Gods, so I wondered if they had that much strength. But I didn't imagine it to be the Spirit King's brother.

According to Remias, Fance is Remias' brother and Spirit Clan. Cittiadis and Zenobia are twin brothers and sisters and grandchildren of the Dragon clan and Gio. Only Aristotle Telesia is a normal person. Therefore, the appearance and age are similar and approximate, but the actual age is quite different.

Ruth was told how the four men looked a thousand years ago.

Sitstiadis was a serious, responsible and integral part.

Zenobia is gorgeous and wants to stick her neck in every problem.

Aristotle Telesia is a mood maker with a healing conscience that puts the surroundings first.

A high-calculator fan who supported those three from behind and distracted themselves from the shadows.

Although the actual age is different, the four people gathered for the same purpose are quite close. Before becoming a human pillar, he said he had solved many problems with four people. In a way, they might have been like the brave men of the day.

(I wonder what it was like....)

It is true that Citrus, who was speaking at the meeting, was a strong protector of Aristotle Telesia, but Ruth has not yet seen the four talking.

Otherwise, I was called to Wonok's room the other day, and he and Fance were just talking.

"... speaking of which, Mr. Fans is very close to Mr. Wonok, besides the other three. I've never seen anyone talk to Wonok like that."

"Ah, yeah...."

Ruth was going to have a good time, but somehow Remias looked reluctant. It's just an expression that I don't mean to say.

"... as for my brother, I'd like to tell him to stop it... but he really wants to be by Wonok's side.” Well, actually, "We're good friends," so that's fine. "

Remias sighed deeply as he said, "It's fine."

"Why is my family like this...."

Remias still has bumps.

I don't know about Ruth, but maybe there's something wrong between Remias and Wonok. If you think about it, they are the Spirit King and the Demon King (? It's not strange that we're not close. Maybe it's better not to argue in front of you.

"By the way! What kind of thing is Ed doing when he's still sleeping before dinner? You don't know me very well."

Ruth forced herself to change the subject, saying it might not be good to keep talking about it too much.

"Ah, now Ed is. I'm using my constitution to help Grandpa Geo investigate."

"Ed?

"This kid has no magic, right? Besides, people are twice as sensitive to magic currents and swelling. That's why I'm participating in an investigation around the ark."

I don't think the boulders will let me board a front-line research vessel, but they do research on dead alien creatures and so on with adults. Remias seems to be sneaking up on Ed as he embarks on his research vessel.

"Ed did that...."

I thought Ed was doing something besides being on Ruth's side, but I wasn't expecting him to help with the investigation. I thought you were teaching me magic.

"I'm the youngest member on board. You're too small to let me do anything, right? I have no choice but to say," No. "But I couldn't help but persuade myself and Grandpa Geo to do something against my complex."

"... that's amazing. Ed."

"Yeah, I respect you too... and eventually I'm going to be a good king, this kid."

Ed is small and has unusual abilities, so he can't imitate others. But still trying to do something without glaring gives encouragement to the surroundings. I'm sure some people are just as encouraged to see Ed as Ruth and the others are.

"Ahh, it looks like I didn't do anything to you ~"

It was Remias, who had a good father's face until now, but he suddenly murmured with his head. It seems that we are helping to monitor and alert other creatures and strengthen security for each city, but in fact, it seems that we are not doing anything about this, and it seems bad. Mainly in a dignified direction.

"I knew it... I had to accept that suggestion ~"

"Suggestions?"

"Hmm, it's still a secret for Ruth. You'll find out eventually. I'll be looking forward to it, Uncle."

"Hah, hah..."

Remias leans his neck cutely on the face of his beard. I'm sure he's winking. I don't see it with long forehair.

"Now, do you want to take me to my room before I wake up? You're tired of practicing your body, aren't you? Take your time."

"Yes"

Remias carries Ed while saying so.

And the moment he stood up, he murmured as if he remembered.

"That's right... the cherry blossoms are back"

"Mr. Cannagra!?

Cannagra is the superior Spirit who protected Alec. He is good at spiritual and memory magic, and I heard that he supported the brave team from that direction.

(Speaking of which, you haven't seen Alec since he was completely awake.)

Alec's guardian, Cannagra, should have always been on his side without showing up, but sometime he was away.

"After seeing you die, the brave spiritual contamination progressed at a terrible speed and came out of it before I woke up. The contract was broken from the inside, and it was a mess when you came to me. It's recovering a lot now."

Cannagra was badly injured, but the Spirit King (Remias) didn't disappear after seeing him immediately. He says he's trying to recover in the Spirit Forest now.

"Cannagra regretted not stopping the brave spiritual contamination. He said he couldn't do anything even though he was a specialist.... well, when I heard your story, it was a mystery whether I could do it."

I don't think Alec, who was used by the administrator and carved into his relationship with Ruth to his soul, managed to do something with the power of Cannagra.

But only once did Alec forget about Ruth with Cannagras. It seems she laments that if she used the same technique this time, it would not have happened like that.

"I knew he cared about you, so I guess I couldn't force him to forget it instantly...."

The first time Ruth met Cannagra, he was always fighting with Alec. Remembering that, Remias' words were surprising, but the relationship gradually changed during the journey.

"You should do what you want to do. Don't regret it. Even if they say it's reckless."

"Yes...."

Remias went so far with a serious tone that he carried Ed and left the room.

------------

In the evening, Ruth, who was able to walk alone, was walking in the hallway for walking training. On the first day, I was exposed to curiosity, but in the past few days, I was familiar with Ruth's appearance, and people passing by recognized Ruth as a floral doll walking by. Thanks to this, it was easy to walk.

"That's Ruth, isn't it?

As she was walking slowly asking about her surroundings, she suddenly got a voice from behind.

The way I spoke seemed like a man, but the voice was female.

"Eh!?... Master Zenobia?

Looking back, before Ruth was Zenobia, one of the four gods.

Drawn as a woman with short black hair, brown skin, high exposed clothes, and a big sword in a good style, Zenobia now looks down at Loose with her arms tied together in a big black top and bottom garment.

"I don't want you. Zenobia. You've been walking out of your room. Are you busy right now?

Huh?

Ruth cannot hide his surprise in Zenobia's words. Ruth left the room a long time ago and walked slowly around the ship. From this way of speaking, is it true that she was watching Ruth all the time without speaking up and appearing?

"What do you think, Ruth?

Asked again with his eyebrows closed, Ruth turned his mind back to reality, imagining Zenobia's actions. It would be better to put aside her strange behavior and answer her questions.

"I'm just doing walking training, so I'm not busy. Can I help you? Alec... about the brave man?

I don't think of anything other than Alec as a reason to be called to Zenobia. But to Ruth's question, for some reason Zenobia leaned her neck.

"Why are you so brave when I'm talking to you? I'm sure I have business with you."

"Eh, me?

Ruth shouted in surprise. I didn't think she had anything to do to stop me.

Zenobia didn't seem to care about it and crouched near Ruth.

"You're not busy, so don't come with me."

Eh, ah, yes.

Looking at him with an expression that could even feel intimidation, Ruth answered bewildered and was held up with a voice saying, "Okay."

(You're a bit unusual....)

When I saw it in the picture, I just looked like a beautiful and strong woman. I had a mysterious image of the goddess's name - quite different from what I expected. But I'm sure you'll feel more human than you think.

(These people are really just people...)

The black top and bottom of her clothes also betray the divine image I've seen in the painting, but it also brings me the feeling that she's really a living person.

Zenobia didn't seem to be very good at conversations, and Ruth and the others remained silent until they reached the back room upstairs.

"Where is this...?

Alice, this is Aristotle's room.

"Dear Aristotle Telesia...."

Ruth felt a little nervous about the name.

Aristotle Telesia. The deodorant kingdom, to which Ruth and Hashi belonged, was the most revered goddess.

But the reality is that a woman was made a pillar to seal Zagres a thousand years ago. It had so much magic that it was revered as a saint, but it contained an eighteen-year-old human girl.

At the meeting with Geo and the others, the name was also known. And...

─ ─ But Zagres didn't miss such a small wish. I entered a slightly wobbly gap in my heart and ruled Alice. "

A woman who was spiritually dominated by Zagres and called out to Ruth.

"Ruth, this is a wish from me... but I don't want you to say anything too strong to Alice."

Huh?

Hearing Ruth's confused voice, Zenobia turned to her eyes. The expression was different from the first time I called out, and there was some sadness in the severity.

"This is my own wish and I don't think I should tell you. But as Alice's friend, I hope.... he feels guilty enough. I can't help it anymore..."

"Don't you have it?

Without answering Ruth's question, Zenobia turned to the door again and knocked.
