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

"Don't... he's not moving..."

Silas seems to be trying to get away from Ruth, but the knife vibrates slightly, but never leaves. It was as if it was attached with a magnet.

"Well, in this case, we're going back to the basic performance (the will of Orihalcon). What about other people's calls?... Oliharkon, get away from Ruth."

When I heard Tomash's voice, Olha didn't make it slim. As always, Cyrus tries to move, but it doesn't twitch.

"Of course, I don't accept words other than the user. Now, Ruth, tell Orihalcon to lay low to Cyrus's will."

"Yes, Orha, as instructed by Cyrus."

Whoa.

As soon as Ruth called out, Orha walked away. Because Cyrus was about to move all the time, it was too much momentum to pierce the ground. Thereafter, as before, Cyrus began to move according to his will.

"I see, with the user's permission, we will follow the magical phantom crystal. One more thing..."

"Eh!? Wow!"

When Tomash activated the machine on the side to scatter the spark, he threw it at Ruth. However, the machine did not hit the defensive loose and fell to the floor. It was pierced by the blade and the function was stopped.

"Orha...."

Olha, who had been changing according to Cyrus's will earlier, had somehow changed to the shape of a shield and jumped out in front of Ruth. Also, part of it deformed and penetrated the machine that fell to the floor.

I see.

I see, it's not! Dad, what are you imitating?

"Cyrus, did you do this? Or did the body move on its own?

Thomas ignores Cyrus's voice and continues to ask questions. Cyrus raised his frustrated voice for a moment, but sighed small and snapped as if he had given up.

It's not me. He moved on his own. "

"It still works with the user first. Then, even if you instruct the user, the will in the magical phantom crystal is not completely under control."

Apparently he wanted to check the area and threw something dangerous at Ruth. Seeing no apologies, it seemed to have been an unexpected move.

"Orihalcon's priority is the safety of the user (Ruth), then the instructions of the user, and finally the will of the magical phantom crystal... well, as you can imagine."

Thomas was convinced and shook his neck vertically.

(Well, there are times when Orha won't listen to my instructions. Does that mean that Mr. Silas will not change in between?)

When he left the ark, Orha did not listen to Ruth at all. Maybe it was to protect the user's life.

"Doctor, the results of the measurements have come back."

"How was it?

When Olha moved at Cyrus's will, the noisy surroundings seemed to have started doing something different sometime, so it was quiet.

When they showed Tomash some data, the expressionless man loosened his mouth slightly.

You got it.

What's going on?

"Happy, I didn't see any magic in everything I was doing. After all, it seems that when you merge with Orihalcon, no magic occurs when you move."

If it's true, then...

"Oh, this will convince Geo to put you in the Ark Undercover."

Yes!

Silas flies around in Olha's body.

(... but with Olha, is Cyrus okay?

Ruth asked if it would be a collapse of identity, but Cyrus responded briefly, "There's no problem if you put it in the ark." When she turned into a floral doll, she didn't seem particularly conscious of what her original appearance was like. I feel like I'm thinking about it.

Thereafter, Cyrus tried other movements, but even with abilities similar to magic, there were no magic figures. It's not magic, it seems to have been created by another force generated by Oriharcon. By the way, Thomas explained it in detail, but Ruth wasn't sure.

The result is that as long as Cyrus is integrated with Orha, he can use magical things without using magic. It was said that there would be no problem even if I entered the interior of the ark.

"I'll make a few more adjustments to Orihalcon."

Both of them were in the way of the adjustment, so Ruth left Olha with Tomash and went back to the room with Cyrus, who had returned to the human form.

I'm glad Cyrus' problem was resolved. But when I heard about the incredible way to integrate with Orha, I was a little curious about how everyone would react.

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

"Tomorrow at last....."

We are ready for an unprecedented operation at a rapid pitch.

Thanks to the calls of Geo and the others, many countries have decided to participate in this fight. We are currently gathering around the ark, targeting tomorrow morning.

Ruth and the break-in team had no problems with the operation, and they were ready. There have been many things going on in the past few days, but I was able to talk more gently than ever, without particularly chattering with my peers.

Cyrus, who cared, was surprised as expected. However, when I saw the actual movement, I was surprised that everyone got used to it. I thanked them for their flexible thinking.

Everyone was a good man.

What worried me was relationships. It's no wonder there's a clash, as members who never face each other face to face challenge each other in a life-threatening battle. They were all quite unique members, so it was also possible to enter the ark without being able to build trust if one step was taken wrong. But they were worried.

Where I have opinions, I have opinions, where I accept them. Even the free-spirited Kia tries to move by listening to everyone's opinions. It was very thankful.

(Only after we get inside....)

The inside of the ark could not be investigated by the investigation team. Thanks to the wisdom of Geo and the others, some predictions have been made, but not absolutely. But we need to get inside and get Alec out of there.

"- Are you anxious?

The water waved and there were signs next to it. Next to Ruth came a human cyrus. I hear you're going to spend a lot of time in this shape today.

"Well, that's...."

While laughing bitterly, Ruth washed his face with hot water in front of him to mislead his anxiety.

Everything is ready, and a large bathing area that entered early for tomorrow. Few people could afford to take a bath at this time, and only two Cyrus came with Ruth in the bath.

Ruth's bodies are different from ordinary creatures in the first place, so there is no dirty waste. So I don't have to wash my body or go into a hot tub, but I still feel refreshed when I take a bath, so I wanted to get in before tomorrow's operation. Incidentally, Silas accompanies Ruth to see if he can maintain his body in the hot tub.

"Well, there's something I can do..."

Cyrus washes his face in a hot tub just like Ruth.

Ruth looked at the window on the wall of the hot tub, thinking, "Somehow..."

Gilmore's public baths were fitted with large windows and small city lights were seen in the distance. It was only a small number in terms of the large cities under sight. Nowadays, every city hides in the dark, fearing raids from other creatures. The light is only on a large base that can intercept. Strangely enough, alien creatures also have the concept of light, and they were dull at night. You can say you were lucky around there.

(But I wonder if I can...)

Now I understand that Alec's qualities as a brave man are not just about power.

He brought a brave member and endured the burden of the world for a year. When I hear the story, I ask my friends for their opinions, but it seems that Alec was always the one who made the decision. Sometimes he pushed the opposite of his fellow men and penetrated a tough stance. But they never had a problem with that. My friends trusted me very much.

(Isn't that amazing...)

Ruth has been talking to his friends over the past few days to make a lot of plans, but there has never been a time when he could make a decision on his own. Everyone persuaded each other, convinced each other, and Ruth finally talked. So when my opinion was divided in the ark, I wondered if I could make the right decision.

As Ruth closed his eyes and thought, he felt his hands on his head.

"Don't worry too much. Whatever happens, it's not up to you to judge, it's up to everyone to judge. That's why you're here, isn't it?

Silas' gentle smile distracts Ruth.

"That's right...."

Ruth is not a brave man. I'm not a meta-human. I don't have any hidden abilities, and I'm not very strong. Though slightly more mobile than the average person, the people on this ship would only have the lowest power.

That's why Ruth relies on his friends. I hope I can't rely too much on them, but I trust them to make up for what's missing. And Ruth has no choice but to do what he can to meet their trust.

"It's not good to wake up too late, because if you had a body, today would be a long time..."

"Excuse me."

Cyrus was talking with his hand out of Ruth's head, making a loud noise and someone came into the public bath.

Due to the structure of the ship, this large bathhouse has a narrow washroom and a large bathtub. There is a wall between them. As a result, Ruth could not see the person who appeared, but he remembered the voice and the signs.

(Ah... this voice...)

Ruth moved his body slightly.

(I can't believe Maxim came in at this time...!

Ruth held his head.
