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

When Ruth finished the snowflake in front of the store with his father, Rossa, and brother Clark, who returned from a business trip, he was to add his mother, Celine, as it were, for breakfast with four members of his family. Until just now there were about three guests in the Blau family inn, but it is very quiet because they have already finished breakfast and are standing from the inn.

"According to Bartolo's story, [five days of disconnection] is coming this evening. Let's get ready for it. Clark helps the grocery store, doesn't he?

"Yeah, so we'll just be in the morning, and I'll be at Sarah's in the afternoon to help out with the grocery store."

"Come back early. If you get in trouble over there, it's tough."

"Mother, speaking of which, do you have an appointment customer?

"No, you don't have an appointment. But there's always a rush in."

"You don't know about [the five days of disconnection] and they all come to the village ~"

Sigh as if Rosa was awake. Convince the visitor to stay in the lodging without knowing, because the bone breaks.

Bartolo - that is, the [five days of disconnection] foreseen by the village chief - was common sense in the village in words indicating that the blizzard that comes to the village each year prevents him from going out of the house for about five days.

Because of the pattern of land with four seasons, one season does not last very long, but only the winter in Hashi village is exceptionally short, which makes it a terrible snowstorm. And the worst of them all will be in those five days. Those five days will be such a storm of snow and wind that you can't even see ten centimeters away, that when you go outside, you are said to be absolutely shipwrecked and frozen to death, and the people of the village will not go outside trapped in their homes for this period. Travelers and adventurers are very rare this time of year, but sometimes adventurers who do not know about it often come, so the Blau family needed to prepare their share in addition to their own food.

Once Ruth finishes her meal, she returns to her room and changes to her cold gear. I still need my jacket and gloves if I want to snow outside the house, but if I don't wear them for a long time, I'll freeze. Wear a hat, earring, and wrap around a thick coat. Although not as light as in previous life, coats made of real animals are quite warm compared to those made of chemical fiber.

As soon as he raised his face and tried to get out into the hallway, a painting mounted on the wall caught his eye and Ruth softened his eyes just a little.

(Is Alec in a warm place?

Alec, who returned only momentarily with the art of forwarding, returned to the journey again, and a familiar letter became available. However, the first letter I received was enclosed with an illustration depicting the warm view of the port town. "Did Alec paint this? 'I was only mistaken for a moment, but the letter says it's something professionally painted. Ruth, who had never left the village, was excited to see what was going on in the port town of this world for the first time, and stuck it on a killer landscape wall. I was happy to know just a little bit about the world Alec was seeing.

(Someday, I'd like to see the oceans of this world for once or so)

I know what the sea looks like because of my previous life's knowledge, and I can't imagine it, but I still want to see it with this eye. When Alec returns one day, I think it might be a good idea to ask his parents for a little something and go on a journey for two. I'm sure any journey would be fun if Alec were next door.

(Alec said he would come back during this time but now when...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ruth loosened his face when he remembered the last time Alec was happy to come to see me using the transfer technique - but at the same time he remembered not only the joy, but even what he himself had done. The heat suddenly creeps up on my head in the cold season because of it, and it gets hot to my cheeks.

Softly away from the bed, which is the scene, he crouched down on the opposite wall.

(Ya suck, I forgot because... my idiot...)

Ruth was possessed when he remembered how he had made Alec do something strange to his friend.

I still didn't quite understand myself for doing that during my reunion with Alec. Even the reason Alec was saying it in the first place didn't make sense when you thought about it, and you could have done as much as you wanted to deny it. Yet denial, on the contrary, was dominated and flushed by greed, with little resistance. No, to be honest, Ruth thought it was strange that he was flushed and moved aggressively. That's why my head hurts even more.

(You can't do that, definitely not anymore. Whatever Alec looks like, we need to be able to say no...)

Sometimes at first Alec was upset when he was said to be a brave man, and Ruth was folded within himself. The second time, however, it was impossible to be honest. Ruth, it's totally out. Therefore, I think that it is necessary to ensure that it does not happen for the third time.

Because otherwise, you won't understand the relationship between yourself and Alec in Ruth. If that happens, I'm a little scared that my definitive bond with Alec, which I've built up so far, will be broken. I wanted Alec to remain the same important person in Ruth for a long time. I can't help but be terrified of changing my relationship.

(Anyway, forget the last time, forget it. treat them as friends as usual the next time I see them)

When Ruth stood up desperately in the mood, it caught his eye that one book that was on his desk was glowing.

"Ah, Mr. Geo, Mr. Geo!

I go back to my desk with something in my mouth that I wanted to change my mood, and I take that one glowing and open it in my hand. As the white pages continued, when I opened the glowing pages, the letters gradually appeared on the pages that were white. It also looks as if someone is running a pen on this occasion.

"... what?" I spoke to someone I knew a few weeks ago so that I could solve any future problems in that village. If you get in trouble, you can count on it. I've been watching you, but I'll be there in less than a week to show you my face. "

That's what the text that went on spelled out in the book said, and Ruth laughed a little when she remembered her face covered with white eyebrows. Must be an old man with a nice atmosphere because he knows Gio. I look forward to talking to you.

This book was left by Gio to Ruth when he left Hashi village. When I first saw it, it didn't say anything and I didn't know what they told me to keep it for, but a few days later the book glowed and the question was resolved.

This wasn't just a book, it was a magic book created specifically by Geo. So to speak, it seems to have the same functionality as an email in a previous life, so that the text that Geo wrote in the distance will appear in Ruth's book. Thanks to such a feature, I rarely received a text from Geo asking Ruth about the village. Something unexpected happened with the demon pruning, so he's worried about me afterwards.

"…… but I guess I'll leave a reply at night, I'm quite tired."

However, the only thing that's different from an email is the power it takes to send a sentence. This magic book consumes a lot of magic power when writing a sentence. Geo can send a long text because of his considerable capacity, but originally in less magical Ruth, he spends a lot of time just writing a line, and that day he can barely use magic.

Ruth left the room behind with the closed book on his desk as he apologized in his heart to Gio for the delay in responding.
