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

The consciousness that should have fallen of darkness awakens unexpectedly. I felt that my body, which had been paralyzed and had not moved, had finally complied with my will. I will try to move the fingertips of my left hand, which have the lightest symptoms.

"Khun............!

Then I was pressed with something that slipped on my face. It goes back and forth from Ruth's chin to his cheek many times. I was afraid and desperately opened my eyes that I might be blocked from speaking because of it.

What was in front of me was purple eyes. When Ruth and his eyes met, his eyes grew sparkly and shiny, setting him up against his body.

"Come on, don't get excited and move too much"

"Woo woo!"

An object with purple eyes that hits the body is pushed back by a hand that has been stretched from behind Ruth. Then, as he heard a low and sweet voice, his exhale hung in his ear and the tickle crept up, slightly shuddering.

(Hmm? Someone's hand is supporting me?

By moving his body, Ruth found out that he was being held by someone. Looking around with a progressively wider view, there was a sofa with holes I remember across the diagonal. And I find myself on the other side of the wall, and yet the warm object on the left is black. That 's--

"Wow, nook,"

"Oh, did you finally notice?"

A neat face at the doll level peeks Ruth in a little from the top. That was Wonok. I felt redness in my eyes, but it also quickly returned to its original golden color.

Apparently, Ruth is sitting in such a position that she can hold it horizontally against Wonok, who sat on the wall. And for some reason Wonok's right hand was placed directly on the chest where his jacket and skin clothes were opened.

(Wow, what is this?

Weird tensions have increased at the same time as shame, knowing that Wonok is touching my skin directly. It's a completely different feeling than when Alec was touching me. But the body hasn't lost its earlier paralysis, and it still doesn't move well. I don't know why this is happening, but when I tried to open my mouth to get my hands off me, a white mass popped into my chest.

"Kwwwww!"

It was an object with purple eyes - a white oculus. The oculus wields his tail with a boom and rubs his head against Ruth's belly. It's like, "Glad you're okay! He also looked like he wanted to say."

"Oculus, calm down. Don't burden Ruth yet."

"That, O.K., you... Mr. Wonock? Ah, here, this oculus."

"Ruth, calm down, too. I know this oculus is sneaking up on the inn."

"Uh... Oh, really?"

I was in a hurry when I saw the oculus, but looked down at me like I was stunned by Wonok, and Ruth sighed with a ho. Apparently, he knew it from the beginning and kept it quiet for a long time.

"Okay, I've taken out the toxin already, can you move?

"Ah, yes..."

Wonok releases his hand from Ruth's chest at the same time as the words. At that moment, I felt that the paralysis that had been in my body to the end would be taken.

(Could it have been the current detoxification or something?

I didn't know what they were doing at first because it was completely different from the Church priest's treatment, but given that the paralysis was coming out of Wonok's words and body, maybe it was a special way of treating him. I was glad I didn't make a fuss because of a weird misunderstanding.

"Mr. Wonock, you could have used the cure, couldn't you?

"No, I can't use it"

"Huh? …… What now?

"It's not a detoxification. But I almost had to drain the toxin from you in a hurry, so I took a slightly more forceful approach.... I'll tell you before you get me wrong, it's not weird that I was touching your chest."

"I know..."

I was surprised at Wonok's statement that he had forced the toxin out by means that were not a regular method. Apparently, he was also trying to hold Ruth's body in order to slow the toxin down a bit towards his heart, and to successfully transmit his magic to Ruth. There were a lot of scratches, but I knew Wonock had done a lot for Ruth.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Wonock. Thank you very much."

"Yes, thank me fully. I wouldn't normally do this."

"Ha……"

As usual, Wonok saw Ruth move his torso on his own, letting go of his body and rising from behind him, sitting straight at the front a little further away. I'm just going to put my head on Ruth's lap saying that the oculus was waiting for me. I saw that. I laughed with my nose when I saw the oculus like Wonok made a little fool of me.

"You made him miss you a lot. But, well, thanks to that, you were saved. I think you did a good job."

"Thanks to you?

"The good ears of the oculus are special. You must have heard the sound of your fall or the bitter voice. After he entered our room, he ran to you at full speed down the hall. Thanks to that, I also noticed your strangeness."

"What, then others notice this oculus too......?

"No, it won't. I was near the door so I just noticed the footsteps. The room was noisy because of a man named Seju, and that woman with good ears... because Julia wasn't surprised by the presence of the second deceased and noticed the surrounding sound."

"Is that so……………"

"Woo......"

When Wonok explained the situation at that time, for some reason, the oculus roared in dissatisfaction. But when Ruth strokes his head as he says, "Thank you, too," he stops roaring and leans over Ruth's lap again. Only his eyes still stare at Wonok. I laugh bitterly at how it looks.

(Even so, I'm glad Mr. Wonock noticed. Otherwise he could have died like that)

If I become the third corpse, my family will panic. And Rossa, who was on the side until the end, must have blamed herself for not noticing the anomaly. As Ruth, who grew up feeling the affection of his family, I was glad I didn't have to suffer them that way either.

- But thinking that far, Ruth raised a question.

"... Wonok, I appreciate it, but..."

"What is it?"

"... how could you not let everyone know I fell? Did you sneak treatment in the warehouse?

If Ruth fell, it would be normal to inform the family on his side, even if he knew no one could detoxify him. However, Wonok deliberately carried it to the warehouse room and even used a strong method to detoxify it. I appreciate it, but my actions just seemed a little suspicious.

Ruth held the hand placed on the oculus naturally and strongly.
