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

Daniel's arm on Ruth's shoulder reacted slightly as they muttered abominably. Looking up slightly at Daniel for a strange move, for some reason he was in a good mood and had enough bitterness in his grin. But when he exhaled deeply, he looked frightened as he applied strength to Ruth's shoulder.

"Before you say Gucci to me, you just have to check it out, okay? Ruth, listen to them, you misunderstand. Then the air will be a little lighter."

"Misunderstood?"

"Yes, yes. They're secluded about the person you have. You're jealous at last."

"Hey, Daniel!

"Don't say anything unnecessary to him!

Ruth frowned when she heard words she could not remember: seclusion, jealousy. Being jealous should mean that Ruth is more likely to be close to someone specific than they are. But when it comes to people in the village that Ruth is closer to than they are, he's with his family.

"Maybe... we both have Alec?

"Chicken, why are you going that way! Alec and the most unlikely!

"You're so stupid............!

"… Ruth, I don't think so either. Are you serious?

"Of course I'm kidding."

Of course Ruth didn't either. I tried to say it, but when I got a bigger rejection than I thought, I thought Alec seemed a little pathetic. If he's such a good man, why isn't he so popular with men? No, I guess it's just not popular with these three because they were counting on me from a guy in a village other than them. Thinking about it - well, I can understand why.

(But then who the hell is it?

But Ruth can't think of anyone other than Alec or his family to be jealous of. If I were to say that, I would be around Byrd like Wonok or Avi, but I wouldn't talk about it because I knew if I said that, I would make a worse fool of myself than I did earlier.

It was Colt who eventually cut the paralysis first when Ruth was roaring ununung as he thought Daniel's arm was in the way.

"Oh, that's enough! Don't even think about it, just answer the question, okay?

"Ugh, yeah."

Colt looked like he was ready, staring at Ruth and opening his mouth once he took a big, deep breath.

"You and Alec.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"……………… ma, Marianne? Uh, is that Marianne, the village chief's daughter?

"That's true, when it comes to Marianne, there's only one person in the village. Hey!

Colt screams in a shitty way. But his face was red and he had a stronger eye than usual. I could tell from that appearance that he was asking questions with courage. I don't think you're making a joke or anything appropriate.

(eh...... maybe Colt likes Marianne!?

Ruth was quite surprised by the romantic circumstances in the village, which he had never even considered. Ruth was always stuck with Alec, so he wasn't too familiar with that hand, but it's not strange that Marianne is pointing those emotions at other people because she's pretty cute in the village. And it's quite conceivable that a near-year-old colt is pointing that kind of emotion at Marianne.

(Maybe Colt was stuck with me)

The answer derived from it would be "Colt was jealously biting because Ruth was close to Marianne”. Indeed, before, Marianne was the only woman who would normally respond to Ruth, so she would have looked even more friendly. Alec and Ruth, and Marianne were gathered together every time there was an event in the village, so it might be deeply related to the area as well.

Ruth first tried to solve the misunderstanding to Colt, who was turning a frustrating glance at him for not telling him to 'answer quickly'.

"Me and Marianne are usually childhood friendly. I know you think you're cute... but like your sister?

"That's true..."

"Because it's true. More or less, I don't have that kind of emotion over there."

"…… So, what about Alec? What about that guy? Um... Marianne likes him, doesn't she?

You know that, and I think I feel a little sorry for Colt. Marianne favors Alec because anyone in the village knows that. And Alec, you will also painfully understand that your opponent has a very low chance of winning.

"You can rest assured. Alec doesn't like Marianne. I realize you're being favored, but I don't think you'll ever respond. You think you're like my sister, don't you?

"That's true..."

"It's true. 'Cause... Well, I just need you to believe me there."

The phrase "Because I'm the one who likes Alec," which Colt would be most comfortable with, was swallowed up on the verge. Because I knew it would cause extra confusion, and I didn't think Ruth should talk about it yet that he couldn't handle it better.

Ruth, who remembered Alec's confession though, was suddenly struck by a mood of mozo. The arm placed on Daniel's shoulder gets annoying and he pays for it to get his breath ready.

When Colt was breathing out loud as he heard the mixed joy raise his voice in a small voice, "So I have a good chance..." he grabbed me by the shoulder.

"... how do you know Alec doesn't like Marianne?

"Eh?"

"You've been misunderstanding those two ever since. And yet, how come I can assure you?

Daniel looked nasty and stuffed me up to Ruth. There was no room for colts and frizz until earlier, and there was even a rushed atmosphere.

"What, and... that, because Alec asked me?

"Did you hear that? When? How?

"Uh, after five days of disconnection, I guess around… directly from the person"

"Five days of disconnection, directly!? Wait, that bastard, he's coming home to you?

So for the first time, Ruth realized that Alec was coming back to the village, even though Daniel didn't know. I certainly didn't even know Ruth's family for the first time, so I had no choice, but it was about a day that Alec was there during the snow between them, so they never looked at each other, and they never heard of him coming back. I'm sure he was rushed by the appearance of snow scratches and melting demons, and it was only a matter of how the prince of the neighbouring country had been kidnapped and had come to the village that it was quite possible that maybe the village chief had laid down a warrant.

"Damn, that bastard, how clingy! Study hard in Wang Du...!

"Ha, isn't that the punishment you've been sneaking around sparingly?

"Zamami"

"Ugh, you guys shut up!

Daniel stares at Colt and Fritz's teasing words, but the two remained smiling pleasantly niggly. Ruth was a little surprised at how it went.

(Something like this, I had an image of Daniel following the two of us, but surprisingly, all three of them are normally friends)

Ruth realized for the first time that the three of them had a reciprocal relationship just because the leader was Daniel, in a light-hearted fashion. It's not a so-called Gian ceremony, they seem to be companions and friends who trust each other. I felt a little alienated watching that, and I missed when I was laughing with Alec.
