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

When she broke up with Wonock and went to the living room of her mother's house with her luggage, Celine Julia lined up beside her on the couch, and Rossa stood at the front, Clark at the edge of the room. Ruth gently stands next to Clark. Apparently, he's checking on Herald's behavior from Julia, where Rosa has regained some calm.

"Julia...... so it's possible Herald acted like that"

"Sorry, Rossa..."

"Did you guys come to our inn to work stealing from the beginning?

"Chi, no...!

Julia shook her head in tears as Rossa looked and listened.

According to the story, Julia and Herald were planning to get married soon after undoing years of corruption. It's just that they seem to have had a little trouble with their lives because they were in debt when they were spending time in neighboring Ziltania. He wants to clean up his debt to get married, he went on an adventure to make money out of that feeling and arrived in this village with his old pal Rossa.

"To be honest, I was wondering if you could lend me some money. But I wasn't willing to work stealing! I just wanted to see your face, really. Herald didn't say a word about that either. … so I think there was another reason."

"There are signs of my son entering his room... if there are any reasons, I want you to let me know."

"………………… Ugh, right? I'm sorry."

Julia's ears drooped and I could see it sinking deep. She herself seems surprised by Herald's behavior. Rossa sighed deeply as Celine gently touched Julia's shoulder without saying anything.

"... bad Julia. It's just that even though he did that, he said something to blame you. I'm a little confused too..."

Not as good as Julia, but Rossa also lost her old companion, and she can't keep calm in a situation she doesn't even want to believe is an accident when the cause is fishing her son's room.

(... I can't tell you two how bad it is)

Ruth was silently watching them and remembering what Wonock had said.

Herald is alive. As far as Wonok says, he is not dead, although he is injured, because of his ability to be a subhuman. And because of the circumstances in that room, it's likely that it wasn't an accident that killed him.

(You'd be happy to tell your fathers...... then Mr. Herald might be targeted again)

Even if we talk about the situation and try to hide it, Rossa is an honest person, so there's a chance she'll find out around because of a change of attitude. Then the herald will be in danger this time.

Besides, either way, it seems Herald can't wake him up without something he can use to cure him. Then it would be better to decide to die and not make a loud noise right now, keeping him safe.

(And the biggest problem is who did that)

The members who are staying at the inn now are Seju, Nikola, and Julia, Wonok. As an exclusion, it's hard to hope that even Julia, who has traveled with her, and Wonock, who has advised Ruth, can fully believe it. The reason that it wasn't an accident like Wonock's was because it was muscular, and I was convinced, but I don't know why I taught it to Ruth alone.

(I'm saddened, but Julia has a possibility of a late incident with an inner temple.... Mr. Wonok can't throw away the possibility that he told me that with intent. Mr. Wonok also just told me that Mr. Herald is alive in the first place. I can't tell if I'm really alive more than I can't get in the room)

Basically, Ruth is the type of person who believes and wants to believe in people. That would also affect the atmosphere of the serene village, which makes a living from hunting and small dungeons. I don't even want to think about this if it's true. But I just can't keep my pure emotions until there's been a case like this. That must have greatly influenced my life experience in my previous life. Because I try to protect myself, but the memories of my previous life, which I usually close, open up on my own.

In his previous life he lived thirty years. The world in the previous life was more complicated with people's emotions, and there was a lot of purity and kindness, but at the same time there was malice, betrayal and fear. And it's not just about the experience, it's about seeing and hearing it through communication devices and radio waves. I also remember many different incidents that I could not imagine in Ruth growing up in a peaceful village like Hashi village. That's why Ruth's vigilance swelled up on its own.

(Anyway, I look like a nineteen-year-old who doesn't know anything right now and normally has to behave. And hopefully, yes, I have to sneak up on the truth about this one... and I have to protect the three of you)

Families of popular and pure Ruth. Ruth engraved strongly in his heart that he was the only one who could protect the less alert and precious from people's malice in a good way.

After a while I sighed deeply as Julia calmed down and looked up. The face looks red and painful.

"... Rossa, I'm sorry I couldn't stop the herald. Besides, I even bothered your inn..."

"Fine. Okay, let's not do each other. Either way, we don't have a party herald. I believe your words that I didn't mean to."

"Yeah……………."

Was it settled in Rossa's words, Julia sighed loudly as she snorted with a handkerchief given to her by Celine. Celine speaks to her like that with a calm expression.

"Think slowly about Mr. Herald after the blizzard has healed. You can bury him here, or if Ziltania wants, take him over there..."

"No, Ziltania is a little………"

Julia reacted immediately to Celine's words. As for Celine, I was just going to say it in the sense of 'you can slow down', so I guess I was surprised at the speed of that reaction, tilting my neck with a slightly suspicious face.

"Oh, why? You've lived there a long time, haven't you?

"…… now that the country is in a bit of a rush, it's better not to take him badly"

"Is Ziltania rough?

"Really, Clark?

Clark put his hand on his chin as he contemplated as his whole family turned their gaze on him, but slowly tilted his neck. Clark is the most likely person in the house to go to Wang Capital and is in an easy position to stay up to date, but he's never heard of that.

"... something happened. I don't think it's spread by Deodart yet."

"What happened?

"... the Prince of the Kingdom of Ziltania is missing."

"Prince missing?

The voices of the four members of the family overlapped.

(A prince, I knew he was here...)

Even if I had used the word 'prince' as an adjective, I was a little surprised because I had never heard of the real existence. From Ruth's point of view, the word prince suits Alec, but I was in the mood to see a little bit of what it was like to be a real prince.

"He was originally a little messy, he seems to be a prince who was good at troubling people around him, but he suddenly disappeared a few weeks ago when we were in Ziltania, about two months ago now... At first he thought he was a sudden runaway or something, but he also talked about whether it was a kidnapping because he couldn't grab too much foothold..."

"Is that what was happening?"

"As a matter of fact, we came to this country for the purpose of his search. Only advanced adventurers talked about searching within the guild. If we find him and bring him back, we'll have a prize of 100 million gods."

"100 Million Gods!?

There is a screaming voice on too big a sum. Even if there were jewels and knives that could buy up the lodging, the surprise was doubled when it came to the amount itself. Godo seems to be the common currency in the world, and Ruth thinks roughly one Godo is about one yen. That's 100 million yen. It may be more cheap when it comes to a prince search.

"And the right to plead directly to the king is followed.... you see why we came all the way to this village, right?

"Sure, if you knew the village here, you might suspect it's hiding first"

Ziltania is a different country from the kingdom of Deodart, but it is not that far because it is about three mountains away from Hashi village in a straight line. If you walk straight, you'll be able to get there in about ten days. In fact, however, the mountain is steep and can only be crossed by those who, on the contrary, are superior in their physical abilities among subhuman beings. Therefore, we cannot reach Hashi village without taking a detour route from the Wang capital for more than a month. And globally, Hashi Village is close to anonymous, even though there are dungeons, and because there are many people who don't know it, they usually can't think about it.

"Prince Kia is a subordinate of the occult descent, so it's not hard to cross the mountain. So I thought this village was a hole."

"Hmm... but hey, you haven't had an oculus sub in the village in the last two months or so"

"Well, off you go………………………."

Julia sighed deeply. Everyone seems to have come all the way to this village but guess what, they've already been looking for a place that everyone can think of.

(Mmm...... ocal?

But at the edge of that conversation, a bright white oculus emerged that took him home behind Ruth's brain. That animal has a good hairline and an atmosphere that draws a line with some other oculus.

(No way... I don't care how mundane that was, it was oculus, and it's not subhuman. No, no………)

With that in mind, when I looked at Clark on the side, they were also just looking at me.

"……… Ruth……… That O.K."

"No. It was a normal oculus. It wasn't subhuman, was it?

"Well... but hey, I've asked my fellow Asians merchants a long time ago, and they say that a pretty high-powered Asians can change their appearance, well, not just Asians"

"But it had a slave print on it."

"…… unless the prince has been enslaved in another country while running away from home."

It was the moment Ruth sweated at Clark's nasty whine. The sound of a sudden punch on the wall enters Ruth's ear. That seems to have been the same for Clark, who looked surprised and looked around. They didn't know where the sound was coming from, but Ruth's ears immediately knew where it was coming from.

"What's that noise?

"Over here………………."

"Oh, me, I left my stuff in the warehouse room, so maybe that fell!?

Apparently, the source of the sound was identified as well. Julia tried to point to the warehouse room, so Ruth hurriedly blocks it and tells a misguided story. 'Let's check it out' Oh, my God, I can't wait to be opened up in the warehouse room - the room where that oculus is.

"Ruth, do the cleanup properly."

"Yes. Then I'll clean up a bit! What, Mr. Two Coras!?

As Ruth hurried to open the living room door, a swordsman-style silent traveler, Ercola, stood in front of the door. It was a little weird to look surprised Ruth opened the door.

"What's wrong?

".............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Oh, no! That's the time! Sorry."

He opens and closes his mouth in confusion, but eventually tells him why he was coming to his mother's house. It also seemed like a little bit of an excuse to talk about it, but Nikola doesn't know what she's thinking because she hasn't changed her expression much either.

Celine moved out in surprise at the words of Two Coras. It's hard to tell what the feeling of time is because it's blocking the window, but it would certainly be a time that isn't strange to have breakfast physically. Even though there was an accident in the house, we couldn't leave it without breakfast, and they all moved out. Whatever happens, I'm hungry, and I can't stop eating, so I won't have a choice.
