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

"Hello."

When I entered the church with such a voice, a woman was just cleaning the church to help take care of priests and children. As usual, when Ruth and the others gave him the meat they had captured and the baggage for the church they had received from Clark, he asked the priest to show his face, and Ruth was led to the reception room. Until he waited for the priest, Ruth, sitting in a chair, casually looked up at the wall.

(This painting is always beautiful...)

Ruth sighed small when he saw a single painting hung on the wall of the reception room.

It is a painting depicting the four greatest religious and celestial gods in this world. From the left, the Goddess/Aristotle Theresia, to which the kingdom of Deodart to which the villages of Ruth and Hashi belong, is given the utmost importance, followed by Goddess/Zenobia, followed by Goddess/Fance, and finally by Goddess/Citstiadis. Their names are also known in Hashi village as seasonal names, but according to the knowledgeable Wonok, they call the same period that way in other areas. Because of this, it makes no sense at all in villages with no seasons, so I was taught the other day that it is dangerous to remember it as a seasonal language.

(Speaking of Mr. Wonok... you speak well of the names of the male gods/fans. There were a lot of green decorations in the house too... is it the fans that the Demons worship the most?

The masculine god/fance is a relatively flashy man god among the four. It will be partly because of the powerful Zenobia and Citstiadis next to each other, but it looks even more plain because they are closing their eyes and smiling calmly. Honestly, a person as strong as Wonok doesn't look like a worthy opponent.

"Fance, are you concerned about God today?

Turning to his voice, it was the priest who appeared through the door. Despite the sudden visit, the priest seemed to have even bothered to prepare tea, which Ruth received with gratitude.

"Father, I know that the masculine god/fans is said to be the god of mercy, but why?

"Right...... Ruth, that painting fans. God keeps his eyes closed, doesn't he? That can actually be the reason."

"Reason?"

"They say you were blind."

Man God/Fance never judged a person on the surface because he was blind. For this reason, he said that the people, the subpeople, the spirits and the demons were equally familiar to him. That's why they were able to spot the essence of their opponents regardless of their surface and understand the pain of those who suffer. He seems to be called both the God of mercy and the God of mercy because of his indivisible treatment.

(Oh, speaking of which, Mr. Wonock also returned to his appearance based on his reluctance to be threatened by his appearance... is that why he believes?

Even a man like Wonok doesn't like being able to change his attitude because of his appearance. Ruth also has a previous life, so he is stained and understands the area. No matter how strong you get, it's hard to be discriminated against by appearance.

"Are you a god of mercy...... in that way, you have a bit of a resemblance to Goddess/Aristotle Theresia"

"No, she and that other one are completely different."

"But it's both love for them, isn't it? Because Goddess Aristotle Theresia is a goddess of love."

The priest, who referred to the goddess Aristotle as "she” as before, shook his head in vain.

"Fance God's love is a wide object. It is a love that does not envy, does not boast, does not seek its own benefit. But her love is much heavier."

"Heavy......"

"It is a heavy and deep love that tries to pierce you, whether you destroy yourself or lead your surroundings to misfortune"

"Even if you destroy yourself..."

In that rhetoric Ruth felt the zokri and chill. It was because I can't imagine at all what love is like to try to pierce me, whether I destroy myself or lead my surroundings to misfortune. That's why I felt deep darkness, and I thought I was afraid.

At the same time, Ruth captured a deep shadow on the face of the priest, who looked up at the goddess Aristotle, at the edge of his eyes. It was as if it had bitter memories in its back.

(Well, even priests are good years, and there are a lot of them)

The priest looks young for church service, but Ruth still thinks it will be around forty. In the first place, the priest was slightly different from the people of the Hashi village and had a refined urban atmosphere. There are no educational institutions in the village, so I can see that they had a decent education elsewhere, even thinking about being able to teach their children whips. It is also important that healing techniques can be used. Apart from Alec, who had pushed himself to meet him, he said that the original healing technique could not be used unless he was baptized in the church and begged to teach. Given that, it was increasingly strange for the priest to be in Hashi village.

When Ruth was silently thinking, the priest immediately returned to his usual serene expression when he noticed that he was being seen.

"So at weddings and other things, there's a saying in the vows, 'even if it's not far from the goddess/Aristotle Theresia'."

"Sure, your brother said it. Is that what happened?"

As the priest returned to speak to him a little impatiently, Ruth remembered the words he swore to Sarah at the wedding held by his brother Clark at the church.

- "I will pierce my love for you, even if it does not extend far to Goddess/Aristotle Theresia"

I was wondering if that was a word to set up a god, but it really doesn't mean anything to you. Even for one wedding, I thought this world was deeply connected to the Four Gods.

"Ah, there he is, Ruth!

Good morning, Bird.

Bird, who was leaning against the orphanage, entered the room knocking on the door of the reception room. A boy under ten, like Addy, seemed to have lost his parents at a young age, but he laughed when he saw Ruth's face so bright that he didn't think he had such a past.

Ruth took out the remaining bottle from the luggage he was carrying this time as he saw the bird rushing over.

"Bird, souvenir hemming from your brother. Everybody in the orphanage eat separately."

"Wow, beautiful!

"I'm always sorry. Ruth."

Burt's face shone in red, yellow green, yellow, and colorful candy balls. Ruth was glad to bring the same reaction as Addy.

As the substitute priest gives his thanks, I will tell him to divide them evenly among everyone in the orphanage and to be careful because they are prone to melting. I was a little relieved that this was going to get out of Ruth's hands before everything finally melted.

"What about the remaining bottle?

"If you want Bird, I'll give it to you."

"Yay!

The transparency of glass bottles is considerably lower than in previous life. Still, the prevalence of the glass itself is not very high, so even a small bottle seemed delightful to Bird. I just put it in the treasure chest and it's stuck.

"Ah, Ruth. Can I give this to Addy, too?

"Uh... you know Addy?

"Yeah. I spoke up when I saw you shopping. Before this, I got to know Addy's husband and I played with him."

"It was. I gave it to Addy too, so it's okay. But thank you, Bird."

Addy is hired by Wonok, and the Birds are helping out at the orphanage. There was a good chance that the year was near and the conversation would fit, but it was thought that it might be difficult to be friends because each house was a little further away. But the kids had a conversation they didn't know about Ruth, and they were playing friends at some point. I wouldn't say anything about Addy. I was also surprised that Wonok allowed him to play, but I was glad that Bird was pulling Addy away who couldn't speak up.

After the three of us had been laughing for a while, Ruth decided to leave the church behind and make a stop to think about her plans for the afternoon.
