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

Pushing a heavy-duty luggage truck from the edge of the village toward the square.

The adults on the way were chewing up Birds helping Ruth. At the same time, there were voices that said, "Let the little kid help you because you can't do it alone," but it didn't matter because there was something about Bird.

"Bird, we're almost there. Can you work hard?"

"Ugh, yeah………………"

Even though Ruth is mostly pulling, he still has a tired voice about whether the distance was long or not. The moment I thought it was time to make it stop, it happened.

"Wow."

"Oh, Bird!

Gatan and the luggage car swayed and inclined diagonally, and it was found that Bird floated in space in recoil. Ruth, in a hurry, reached out to Bird and took his body before it was struck to the ground.

"Bird, are you okay?

"Ah...... Ruth"

When I put my body up from the ground and looked at Bird, I was relieved that I was surprised but not injured. But when Bird's gaze was pointed at the luggage car behind him, he looked like he was going to cry.

"I'm sorry…… I……… didn't notice the hole"

Light items such as consoles and mushrooms fell off the carrier and scattered around the area from the luggage car behind it. Apparently, the tire fell off balance due to a hole in the ground.

"Fine, don't worry about it. I'm the one who made you help. I'm glad you're not hurt."

"- Buhaha! Hi-!"

As soon as they tried to comfort the depressing Bird, Ruth and the others turned when they heard a laugh from the side right away. There were also three loud young men in the village, including the butcher's son Daniel, sitting round and pointing to Ruth, laughing.

"Ruth's bastard. I'm gonna roll in Console's bag of bags."

"Seriously, you're poor, that guy!

He's always hiding from Alec. He feels good.

I knew right away that you couldn't help but want to wild Ruth into the laughing and dialogue you made fun of. I just don't know the anger or anything because Ruth herself would think calmly like that, I was rather shocked to say, "Don't go back to work," but Byrd reacted instead.

"This is so heavy! Don't laugh!"

"Uh, it could be heavy on Bird."

"Console, though."

"Do you have more mushrooms?"

"Oh, that's not all! This is heavy because it's loaded full! Plus, Ruth is named for his awesome powers! Hold him up full of heavy bags, he looks poor, but he's amazing! That's cool, dude!

"Uh, Soudane, Bird"

"No, Ruth is certainly amazing, impressive, making me think he's cool with wood scraps"

"You're a boulder-born tarashi man, Ruth. I can't believe you're not just Alec, you're even a kid."

Whatever you say, the threesome only thinks about going wild with Ruth, flushing Bird's words from right to left, and still not stopping with the nagging look and whispering. To the three of you who give you an extra look that you don't even feel tired, you say, "Aren't you getting a job?" Ruth stood up and tried to pick up Console's bag even as she thought, "the bag held up on its own the moment she touched it.

"Even though my fellow villagers are in trouble, is it your job to laugh while sitting down?

"…… Mr. Maxim."

It was Maxim who picked up the console bag. When I was walking in the village, I was taking off my armor, so I wasn't obtuse, but still the overflowing Knights Commander Aura was intimidating enough to silence others. Because of that, the threesome that was laughing out loud earlier is completely shutting its mouth.

"Laughing at the fellow who helped the little kid, making fun of the kid's words, and getting together like that is what you guys learned in the village?

Maxim's words as he picked up the console bag were not big, but for some reason they resonated well. It weighed as if it spoke directly to my brain.

"As adults, can we be proud of that behavior, how about swinging back our actions?

As Maxim stared sharply at the threesome, the three sat back as they rocked their bodies and turned bright blue. Then he disappeared toward the work place so that he could run away.

Seeing it, Maxim looks sinister, while putting the fallen console on the carrier.

"… Thank you very much, Mr. Maxim."

Ruth, who sighed small at the three disappeared figures, looked back and thanked Maxim, for some reason they still looked tough. But when I breathed heavily, I returned to the serene look I always had.

"…… Anyway, let's take the luggage to its destination"

"Yes. So, Byrd, shall we pick it up together?"

"…… Ugh, yeah."

The three of us pick up scattered food. And when Ruth tried to pick up the bottle that was rolling far away, it held up first again.

"What... what, Daniel?

"…………."

In front of Ruth was Daniel, who the three of us were supposed to have rushed to earlier. It looked like I was back alone for some reason, and I didn't always have company with me around.

Besides, Daniel, who looked unhappy, holds some of the luggage that should have rolled at some point, forcing Ruth to push it. Ruth received it first.

"Uh... Oh, thank you?

……………………

Danielle opened her mouth when she said something, but eventually she just moved her mouth and didn't say anything. When she stared at Ruth, she went straight back to the workplace.

(... you helped me pick it up, didn't you?

Ruth softly pulled the hem as he thought of meaning to the unbelievable behavior from his usual Daniel. There was a worry-faced bird there, and he said, "Did Daniel say anything to you?" He showed Ruth.

Glad to see Bird change, he says, "I'm fine," then resumes work and pushes his luggage car to the food shed near the square. With Maxim praising Bird for standing up to him then along the way, the two were totally close by the time he arrived.

"Oh, no, Ruth! I did tell someone to use the help of a man, but I can't believe I'm using the help of the Knights Commander... Dear Knights Commander, I'm so sorry my brother-in-law bothered you!

"No, because I just had my hands free. It would be more helpful if you could use it."

Maxim smiles with a dazzling smile at Sarah, who panics strangely and now releases Aura, the knight leader of the uninvited. The fact that Sarah's cheek was stained on that expression was something that Clark didn't want to be happy with. I felt rather horrible about Maxim dyeing Clark all those better-loving Sarah cheeks.

Then I'll send Bird, who helped me, to the church. When I left, I noticed Maxim looking at me with a tough face when I was happy with Bird for saying "see you later".

"Please, did you?

"... Lord Ruth, I didn't tell you because I was in front of you earlier, but you should also think about yourself."

"Eh?"

"Why didn't you tell them back on that occasion, afraid it would be a fight?

"No, I don't think Daniels and I are going to stop anyway."

Maxim sighed loudly as Ruth laughed troubled. It also seemed as if it was forcing the anger to dissipate in.

"Besides, the people in this village underestimate you. Why are you being treated like this when you have the strength to get rid of Bal? If Lord Alec was moving in the heart of the village at that young age, there must be nothing strange about you participating in the center of the operation next to your father, Lord Rossa, and yet...!

"I can't do anything like Alec."

"Don't tease the brave and the average man!............ ah"

Maxim looked a little blue when he remembered that the words he had said in momentum were a bad dialogue. It should be a secret in the village that Alec is a brave man.

"It's okay. I know Alec traveled because he said he was a brave man."

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

Maxim seemed relieved to find out Ruth knew. I wipe my sweat thoroughly. I'm sure I wouldn't normally commit such a lapse, so I guess I'm severely upset. It feels strange just now, or maybe I'm worried about it in front of the operation.

"... anyway a little more you better appeal to the people of the village, from me knowing the battle, you are a pretty skilled person in this village too, not something you can be cold treated like this"

Maxim looked a little calm and stared straight into Ruth's eyes. There was no excessive thoughtfulness in that eye, it just seemed angry that Ruth's treatment was simply unjust. It sounds like a serious Maxim idea.

(I don't think it's a cold treatment, but you're worried about me...)

Maxim's such tenderness tickles me. It's all the more frustrating because there aren't many people in the village who can see it better.

Besides, I can't wait to think I've been recognized as a man when Maxim says I can "stand my arm" enough to beat Alec. When that happens, I don't even care what the village stands for.

"Thank you, Mr. Maxim. I'm just glad you said that."

"Huh..."

But when Ruth replied honestly, for some reason, Maxim turned a bright red on his face and showed obvious agitation. Step back a step or two as you go and place your hand on the church wall, you shake your head as you grab the edge of your chest. It also seemed as if it wanted to get rid of something.

"Ma, Mr. Maxim, are you okay?

"So, it's okay...... Ha, I'm sorry. I thought of the rush, so now you'll excuse me!

"Huh, ha..."

Maxim said that in a hurry, he went over there without looking Ruth in the eye.

Ruth leaned her neck toward an honest, non-Maxim-like attitude and went back to the square looking for work.
