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

By the time Ruth had descended the mountain with Daniel and reached the village, the blizzard was just getting stronger. Even in the village, all the inhabitants who had finished their work were seen entering their homes one after the other. Ruth promises to see Daniel again at dawn and takes the white oculus he carries to the inn. Daniel gave me the animal medicine, so I thought I'd put it on early when I got home.

No one noticed that Ruth was carrying a big beast on his back because of the snowstorm, and when he came back to the inn, his brother Clark was just showing his face through the store door.

"Ruth, it's late!

"Sorry, brother"

"Everybody worry...... is that back of yours a prey?

As Clark noticed the white oculus on his back, Ruth made his face cramp a little. When it comes to being prey at the Blau family, the place to reach it is the demolition room. Then it would be a big deal because she would be beautifully beaten by my mother Celine. We have to delude ourselves somehow.

"No, this is... not a prey... I mean I picked it up or I helped it..."

"Not a prey, and did you help? And in this five days of disconnection, on purpose? What's this all about?

"Er, that is……."

To Ruth, Clark comes out looking sinister. I would normally appreciate the attitude of listening to my brother properly, but this is the kind of time when it's troublesome not to be properly deluded. Ruth, who didn't find a good excuse in the end, was to tell Clark, who looked tough and necked him, what Daniel had told him. Clark is fundamentally sweet on Ruth, too, but the better addition or subtraction Rossa is - too, not too much.

"I see, a slave print? When I go to Wangdu too, I don't want to talk about it. Even though trading is forbidden in Wangdu, I sometimes find such a lousy merchant. My son Daniel would know because I also buy from the Gorath family."

"So I can't let him die..."

When Ruth told her sorry, she heard Clark sigh.

I know it's not a good idea to bring troublesome things into the house in these five days of disconnection, when freedom is definitely no longer advantageous. But I couldn't even leave him there, so I had to get him inside somehow, even if he scolded me.

When Ruth regained the oculus he was carrying, he heard another sigh from Clark.

"…… ha, there is only one way. I'll open the back of the motherhouse, so get in from there. It's like your mother won't find you."

"No problem, brother!?

"At this rate, instead of its white oculus, it'll freeze to death until we do, won't it?

"Thank you!"

Clark returns from the innkeeper's table with no food on his face. Ruth carried a white oculus and headed straight for the motherhouse.

The Blau family has an inn facing the boulevard and a long vertical motherhouse along the side trail. Ruth headed for the door in his chamber, which is said to be the far end of it.

When Ruth arrived, there was a noise of unlocking from inside. The back door hasn't hit the plate yet, so the door was sooo open.

"Come on, hurry in."

Clark pulls Ruth in from the inside. With a strong snowstorm and tiredness carrying the oculus, Ruth went inside to roll.

Clark checked the table and closed the key and hit the plate from the inside.

"Am I the last?

"Yeah, we're all already gathered in the dining room. For one thing, you get dressed, you get dressed."

"Can I take you to my room?

"Stop. When your mother comes in, we're going to the demolition room."

"……… Indeed."

In the end, Clark entered the room next to Ruth, a place that Celine couldn't break, which by the way is usually used as a warehouse. There are spares for sheets and pillows here, and seasonal dressing, and people rarely get in. Ruth's room is said to be a hallway away from her mother's house, but it was also caused by the fact that she was pinching this warehouse room.

"It's a little cold."

"I don't usually use it. Here, lay it down."

When I turn on the lamp in the room, Clark brings me the unused carpet from the back, so I get the oculus down on top of it. There was still Ruth's coat I wore until a few years ago, so when I applied it from the top it was just the right size.

"Don't wake up. He's alive?

"Because it's still warm when I touch it... but it's weak."

The white oculus had no particular awakening atmosphere, and lay still, though made by the Ruths. Ruth traps Daniel's medication on his injured leg, but he doesn't even look like he's in pain.

"Are you all right?

"First of all, you're looking good. We can only bring hot tubs and rice later."

Clark put his back on him and Ruth left the warehouse room with the thought of getting his hair slapped behind him.
