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

"Ruth. When you're done there, I'll leave the rest to your father, across the street, and you'll take your stuff to church?

"Okay.... Mother, is it all right if I go out for a little while after that? I have an appointment."

"It's mostly over, and it doesn't matter. And then I'll have your father do it."

"Thanks."

It was almost noon and Celine called me.

Ruth went back to the room to pick up his knife and bow and headed to the next house with his luggage.

(I wonder if you're awake...... Wonok.)

The bakery is next door to the right of the Blau family, but the opposite is a small street. There are several houses along the street, but they have been empty for some time. Until a few years ago, old women and young families lived there, but because of the move, only one person lived in front of the square.

But about a week ago, all of a sudden, I had a resident in the house. The human did not originally live in Hashi village, but once he arrived in the village, he offered hope and persuaded the habitual village chief to become the neighbor of the Blau family.

I didn't know which part of Hashi village touched the harp line, which was not very convenient, but for one thing I was happy to have more residents in the village.

(But that's not it... I can see your mother worrying.)

If it was just a neighbor, the Blau family would have been happy, but the resident had a little problem.

As Ruth walked down the street with a deep sigh, she noticed that there were usually very few people in the street, the women of the village - Pariah in Maymay and Sheila in it. They turned when they noticed Ruth's signs.

"Morning, all three, what's up?

When Ruth waved cheerfully with a herald of laughter - they replied, "Good morning," even as they smiled. Nianya and grin loosen at the look of it.

(Glad to have the girl smile and say hello back!

Ruth trembles small to a lesser degree of joy from others' point of view.

Even if Ruth had greeted him before, he would have replied lightly with a cold eye, or sometimes ignored him when he was terrible. But from one of the demon prunings about a month ago, the wind of the village women to Ruth was minimal but tender. Ultimately, Ruth fell in the fight against the demons and didn't do much good just because she was seriously injured - but apparently, whatever the outcome, the fact that she headed to where Bal was, knowing that her life was in danger, changed their minds about Ruth. Pariah, who was particularly worried about her father, seemed to have some regrets that she had said terrible things to Ruth, and the response was so gentle that she waved back at me slightly.

(If you keep this up, you can talk to me with your eyes together and on the contrary, you can call me from the other side, and then... one day, one day, one day, you might get a daughter-in-law!

Ruth arrived at them while the stage was too fine and soaked in a happy mood with a somewhat distracted delusion of a long future. And for the first time there, I knew they had luggage and what they were trying to do.

"... Could everyone be running errands for Mr. Wonock?

"Neither do you……"?

The moment Pariah frowned, the front door where they were standing opened.

"Oh, and the alignment, what's wrong in front of my house?

From there I peeked into my face was a beautiful, sturdy face with a sweet, low, somewhere majestic voice - Wonok, who lived next to the Blau family, stretching silky hair to her waist and with the overall cropped beauty of what was compelling in her golden eyes. Wonok has his whole body wrapped in black clothing, but his glamour gives him the illusion that the light is on from behind him. Anyway, it's a beauty that you can't see in Hashi village.

(How could someone like this be in our village again...)

Alec was a refreshingly handsome man, and Maxim was a colorful man, but he had a healthy and healthy atmosphere. But Wonok's color is the opposite of that. Somewhere demonic and glossy, that atmosphere even gives me a strange sense of disloyalty just to fall in love with. If you take Alec or Maxim for a yang, Wonok is a shady place.

And the three men in front of Ruth pointed their wraps at Wonok, looking like they had fallen in love, because such a small village did not show up as sturdy as Wonock.

"Mr. Wonock, please join us for dinner today."

"Well, did you bring food for me? Love them, let's praise them and move on."

'Ah, thank you very much!

……

Wonok's "King" with a glossy smile "Seeing the three of them happily replying to the words of their gaze from above, which made them want to put in a scratch, Ruth wondered if the three were even hung by the curse of temptation.

Wonok doesn't look as muscular as Maxim, even if he's not as muscular as Clark. I mean, you're not supposed to be hot in the village. Yet, for some reason, the day I moved in, I focused on young women from all over the village, somehow completely captivating some of them.

(... Well, maybe I'm not hot at all because of my muscles... right?

When Ruth tried to open the door to the truth that he shouldn't have reached, he gazed at Wonok, who was reaching for a gift from the three of us in front of him.

"Ah... Wonok, we'll split your hem..."

"Oh, Ruth, you came too! I'm glad to hear it!

So Wonok grinned and scratched the three women - he spread his arms and hugged Ruth.

"Geeeaaaaa!"

Immediately after, a scream sounds around as if he crushed a frog. The scream came from the three of us who were on our side, and Pariah and Sheila were staring at Ruth like a vendetta, and for some reason Mae was the only one who was excited about this one.

Ruth, who for a moment did not understand what had happened, returns to reality after seeing the faces of those three men.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Wonock! Let go of me!

"That's all that hurts me. It is a demon of nature. My darling."

"Or don't rub it! Close, please don't!

He tries to escape Wonok's arms, but he looks skinny and quite powerful, and with Ruth's power, he is not scared. On the contrary, he hugs me like I'm genuinely happy, rubbing my cheeks against my head. Wonok's tall height makes it difficult for Ruth to escape because each package will be delivered into his arms.

(This situation sucks...)

Ruth desperately turned to your face only to avoid a strange misunderstanding of the three people he was watching on his side, but it was already too late.

"You were after Mr. Wonock, too!? For the man's sake!

"You pervert! You suck!"

"Ah, both of you! Misunderstood! Both of you, hold on!

Not even listening to Ruth, the ghostly shaped Pariah and Sheila left the scene early enough. From the way I said "aim," even Ruth noticed that she thought she was also interested in Wonok like they were. But even if it turns blue to be the worst mistake ever made, Wonok's restraint is strong enough to chase him.

And Mae Mae, who was left alone - stopped by Ruth for some reason with an inadvertent face.

"Ruth, I'm sorry I've misunderstood you so far. Because I'm rooting for both of you! I know it's tough on guys, but good luck!

"Men, so, misunderstandings... listen to Mae Mae! Maymay!"

Maymay walked away from them, looking like she was fifteen years old.

(No way, I can't believe I can be perceived that way... my head hurts...)

All that remained was Ruth, who worried that this evening the rumors would spread and the wind from the women would become stronger again, and Wonock, who would still hold onto him as he said, "You love him".

Ruth glanced at the man in question in a mundane and gushing rage.

"Mr. Wonock, come on!

"Yes, don't say hard things. I couldn't see it for two days, and you know I'm in love."

"- That's why I'm telling you to stop saying that!

"Umbu."

Wonock finally let go of his hand when Ruth mocked his head as he yelled at him. But Ruth's full head poke doesn't seem to have worked very well either. He has a cheeky face and a neck.

And he looked at me like he was going to welcome his lover again and reached out - so Ruth rushed to offer me the “pot” he had, saying he couldn't wait to be hugged twice.

"Oh! My beloved Borough Astew!

Hugging the still warm dimensional torso pan, Wonok snuck back to the house ignoring the ruth he had brought. And then, as he said, "You can go into the reward I brought," Ruth also leaned inside.

(You really like it...... your mother's borough stew......)

Yes, it wasn't Ruth that Wonock was waiting for, it was this special borough stew from Celine. Apparently, I fell in love with the taste of a family full of flavors that resembled beef stews from my previous life, and I fell in love with them once in a while.

"Yeah, that smelled good."

When Wonok placed the pan on the table in the room, he removed the spoon that had not even been washed from the uncontained pan that had been placed nearby. The way he gracefully put his mouth on the stew was strangely tasteful. Even if the spoon in your hand is on the verge of decay, hold the pan tight with your right hand. Rather, it gives the illusion that the worn out table set has replaced the high-formatted furniture that is found in noble houses. Even Ruth, who stands by his side, feels as if he's been supplied.

Ruth has no choice but to look around and delude herself into shamblessness to Wonok, who sings his nose and eats at an awesome speed.

(... but this house hasn't changed since then, has it?

Ruth sighs that the rough appearance of the empty house, which entered Wonok's house as a result but had not been used for several years, remains intact. The luggage Wonok brought is just in the middle of the room, so much so that it doesn't look like it's been cleaned up. I even doubt you're really willing to live here.

"Mr. Wonock, as I said yesterday, it's cold and hard not to repair the house because there's going to be five days of disconnection, right?

"It's just a blizzard, isn't it? It's none of my business. With the Borough Stew from you, I can live, whether it's a snowblower or not."

"So...... We'll all be stuck in the house for five days. Of course we're no exception. I mean... I wouldn't even bring you a hem split for those five days, would I?

"What!? You haven't brought me a borough stew for five days. Or!?

Wonok apparently finally realized the seriousness of the matter. When he finished eating the pan, Wonok stood up in a hurry and stuffed Ruth.

Ruth felt like she was going to have a headache when she was turned on as if she faced a political problem (in fact, the problem of not being able to eat borough stew).

"... so I told you many times that the snowstorm would make the inhabitants of the entire village unable to move"

"Then how can I keep my belly bugs down for five days? Isn't that painful!

"No, so save five days' worth of food and cook your own……"

"How can I save food? Is cooking something you can do with magic? If we set the meat on fire, would it be a borough stew?

………………

The biggest problem that Wonok did not become just a neighbor to the Blau family was due to this ultimate lack of ability to live.

(Originally the butler and the maid used to tease me, I wonder if you're some kind of boy... you don't look like a normal person, and it's possible)

Wonok's past is unknown, but he's definitely floating away from his tone and appearance. I can't think of how this man, who is as neat as a sculpture, moves around in the cooking, laundry, and cleaning. If Ruth happened to visit in the evening the next day after he moved, Wonock was falling in the room and the cause was hungry. He didn't go out to buy it all day or go out to eat it. On the contrary, there was a verse from nowhere in which he thought the meal would show up. By the way, he fell in love with Borough Ashew one bite then.

At this rate, you won't even be able to clean or wash. I haven't seen Wonok's clothes change since I moved in the first place. So strange that it doesn't smell unpleasant.

There are many types of Blau families who are not originally bad at baking someone else's care because they do a lodging house or something. Because of this, I couldn't leave this man with nearly zero ability to live, and if I noticed, I was supposed to take a meal hem split every day.

(I've come to a village on the border like this, maybe there were some profound circumstances such as the house collapsing...)

There would not have been so many unknown people in the previous life, but I don't think it would be strange if there were people in this world with this aristocratic system who would go to the ground with 'something heavier than a fork'. It seemed pitiful to Wonok to think that if such people lost the title of nobility, they might end up like this.

And you look noble, and I love borough stew and it's missing somewhere makes Ruth feel 'I need to do something about it'.

"Mr. Wonock, let's give up cooking anyway. It's just not good if the house stays like this, so get a plate, nail and tonkachi at the tool store and block the hole. Then buy five days worth of mobile food for adventurers at the grocery store or something. It's not tasty, but my stomach swells. And firewood, but... I'll get this to you before evening, so you can warm it up."

"How do you keep warm with firewood?

……

Behind Ruth's brain, a view emerged of the house next door, which burns completely before a snowstorm.

Nature and intense sighs spill out of my mouth. In this situation, it was too much time for Wonok to tap into the basics of life from scratch. And the inability to spend the five days from tomorrow on your own means death. I can't laugh at all that my neighbor moved out and died in a few weeks. I rather feel responsible.

"... I understand, Mr. Wonock. When you've packed your bags, come to our inn. Let's spend five days there."

"What, are you inviting me?

"Yes, I invite you. I'll tell my parents too, so spend five days at home. Then you won't be hungry."

"Right, well, then my belly is cheap too. Ruth, you're a good driver. Let's praise you."

Wonok nods with a happy look that he doesn't even think is bad at all. I took it for granted, but I did.

Ruth thought happiness was going to run away when she sighed any more, and after Wonok's house as she greeted him.
