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

"I don't know how it goes... but it's still the same."

Ruth came again to the warehouse room where the white oculus slept with some of the dinner left over from the dining room after getting hot water from the bathroom and preparing about two long, magical hot water tampons.

But turning on the lights did not appear to have changed the posture of the oculus. I can see my white breath coming out of my nose, so it seems to be alive but I haven't regained consciousness yet.

When Ruth placed the hot, meaty soup on the carpet she laid, she placed the two hot tubs she had brought between the oculus and her jacket to warm her body.

"……… When you wake up, eat?

I stroke the head of the oculus and hang my voice, but I still don't get any particular reaction back. I was worried about the lack of response and tried to wander off a little enthusiastically, but my body was warmer and my chest was up and down. I'm relieved that he's not dead.

(You have a good hairline with this child...)

The wolf hair I take in the hunt is so much more raggedy and dirty that I need to wash it again and again when I use it as fur, but this white wolf was fluffy glossy as if I brushed it every day. Although it is somewhat dirty, if you put your finger through it, you can feel the furrows without being so caught. As far as the hair on your head is concerned, it looks sparkling.

(Said it had a slave print on it, so I thought you were being treated very badly... but was it surprisingly cute?

Ruth doesn't really know how to handle the existence of slavery. Because he was never involved in the past life, and even when he was in Hashi village, that was similar.

In the first place, Ruth thinks that people, people, subpeople, etc. who are inherently slaves can communicate with each other are equivalent. Of course that doesn't mean good, but I didn't know what it meant to bother treating animals like oculus as slaves.

"Ah... right. Mr. Wonock asked me for tea."

He caressed his white oculus hair for a while, but when he heard the footsteps of his father and mother going back to the living room from afar, Ruth returned to me.

I was relaxed, but after this, I encouraged them to take a bath in each room, and when they did, they had to unravel the magic and put down the hot water fire early. You don't know what will happen in the five days of disconnection, so you have to avoid wasteful consumption.

Ruth turned off the lamp and went back to the inn when he only had the head of an oculus again.

"Mr. Wonock, I brought you some tea."

"Whoa, you can come in."

When Ruth entered the room, Wonock seemed to be in the mood after bathing the most, wearing the white bedding that Celine would have brought. Apparently, he liked the bath and wanted it in his own house, but I thought it might be difficult because I couldn't make it without Alec, but I kept it quiet for a while. When we talked about the laundry, they gave us a big bag that was placed in the corner of the room. Apparently, Wonok wasn't wearing the same clothes, he had a bunch of similar clothes, he was the one.

Looking like he had finished his job by giving Ruth his laundry, Wonok begins to sit back and drink gracefully in a small table set chair when he receives his tea. It's kind of weird because that's all cheap clothing looks like luxury clothing.

But Ruth called out to me to tell me he was going to collect the cup tomorrow and leave the room.

"You seemed interested in subpeople, but are they rare?

"No, I'm in the store occasionally, so that's it...... But I've never seen the shape of those ears before... be cute."

"Is it cute? That's not a word I'd use against a woman older than her mother."

"Eh... is Julia that age?

"What is it? You didn't know?

Wonok said that subhumans have more species with longer life spans than humans (some are shorter), and because they don't look that old, it seems hard to tell their age from humans, but she looks pretty good in her late twenties.

"Speaking of which, you weren't surprised by the story of the Demons, but maybe they've seen it too?

"Oh, no, I've never seen it, but I used to ask a church priest..."

Ruth, whose memories of his previous life had been brought back and curious, remembered that he had baffled the confused priest by asking him so many questions. So much so that Alec, who was sitting next to me, was a little surprised.

"I see. So, you know what? The Demon Clan is a kind of classification like you humans."

"What, …… the same people as humans?

"Yeah, some people remember it by mistake, but elves and dwarves deserve the same people as this human being. They're overwhelmingly small compared to humans."

"So what kind of classification is subhuman?

"Subhumans refer to those who multiply the animal side with the human side."

"I see…………………."

Furthermore, according to Wonok, the demons that are spreading all over the world are not the subordination of demons, they are similar to animals seen from humans, and among demons, they are livestock or made into love demons, and some people move on and keep them.

"Livestock demons..."

"That's right. Demons and demons are completely different creatures, not to say uninvolved. Don't treat me in the same line. You guys wouldn't feel too good if you were in line with animals, would you?

"Well…… indeed"

"In the first place, the Demons live longer and usually longer than humans and subhumans, but on the other hand, the reproduction rate is so low that it is difficult to increase the number. Life force is strong, but it is not immortality, so if you suffer a fatal injury, you will die. So many stick to strength to protect themselves and reduce their relationship with others as much as possible. I mean, he's more cowardly than the rest of us and the subhumans."

"The Demons are cowards...... I had no idea that. Mr. Wonok is surprisingly knowledgeable."

"Surprise, what is it? I know everything from the beginning."

Until earlier, he behaved as if he were a scholar, but he laughs bitterly at Wonok, who eventually swoops back.

But Ruth, who thought Wonock was just a noble boy, was a little surprised inside when he saw the knowledgeable side. Or is this degree of knowledge normal as a nobleman?

"Then the demons and humans don't change much."

"That's right. There's no difference between human beings... nothing."

The look on Wonok's face, who for some reason shrugged so much, was a little lonely.
