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

After listening to them, Ruth couldn't help but think that the spiritual trials were quite drastic.

By analogy, it's like letting a demon forget why his family was murdered from someone who was murdering his family and on a journey of revenge. It could make you lose your vengeance, but even your hope of living at the same time. It would not be an exaggeration to speak of swords of all blades. I'm too afraid that just going into the woods will do that.

He says it's necessary to meet the Spirit King, but the truth is that the King is unwilling to meet him and wonders if he's doing it to get rid of him.

"That happened...... oh, but what is the connection between that lost and the phenomenon of loss of power?

"Oh, that's right. We didn't know what it meant at first, either, but Alec, who sees the status, says that we have an inherent 'correction capability value' that is raising the force to zero. Isn't that right, Alec?

"Oh. Each had more than ten levels of corrective capability, and they were all at zero at the same time since they went to the woods"

"... do you mean that they erased your precious memories and at the same time even took away your powers?

Mouth as Ruth tilted her neck, Moore, who was in a bystander mood, shook her head wide.

"No, I don't think so. I don't know how many Spirit Kings it is, but I think it's hard to take something away from someone else at the same time. Not to mention“ memory ”and“ equipped power, "you need to create a fairly complicated magic trick with just one. It's insane to deploy it at the same time and activate it so that we don't interfere with each other."

"Don't you even know that? 'Moore looks at Ruth with a freaking look on his face. Apparently she looks the youngest, but her knowledge of magic is quite familiar in a different direction from Curtis, the magician.

When Ruth raised his hands and honestly posed for surrender, Moore looked a little good at it.

"This is my guess, but the factors that are increasing the level of" corrective ability "that Alec sees are obsession and enthusiasm for each person's" made to lose "- that is,“ strong emotions ”that are deeply involved. So I lose - or I lose my memory, so my level goes to zero and my power goes down... really, I'm glad I didn't go into the woods"

Alec says the average person doesn't have that corrective ability value. I'm sure if you're not the owner of the power of a class that joins a line of brave men, it's a pretty advanced special ability value that you won't be equipped with. That's why something terrible happened: once you lose it, your power is halved.

(So Alec doesn't have a golden aura either...)

Apparently the discomfort I learned from the battle I saw yesterday was due to that.

But at first Eliza said, 'The power is in half,' and for that, Alec felt like he was losing too much power. Given the battle I had seen before in Snow Mountain, I felt it was no exaggeration to say a fifth.

"A strong emotion... I'm a chivalry, something that I was beaten into from a young age. It's like a general sense of justice, and I didn't mean to care much, but it meant a lot to me."

"I was the heart of prayer for all people to be at peace.... that sense of nothingness, loss when I lost it, so scary that I remember it now. It's like I've suddenly been left alone in a white world… I don't want to lose it again"

Garcia held her head down like a pain, and Eliza laid her hands on her chest and nagged. It must have been such a shock to lose the feeling that something was normal for them.

But it was because of it that they were able to look back at themselves now. A very positive statement gave me a glimpse of the nature they deserved to be a line of brave men.

"Plus, Fana and Curtis..."

"Hey! Don't say mine! I want to forget about it!

"Will you stop putting my trials into words, too, Garcia......?

"Ah, oh. Okay."

Garcia pulls a little chair on the two swordscreens. Curtis sighed at the look and turned to Ruth.

"It varies from things like Garcia and Eliza don't have a problem with words to things like me and Fana don't really want others to know."

"When that one was known to everyone, I felt like I would be naked... never again"

From positive elements such as beliefs and beliefs and passions to negative elements such as trauma, obsession and wounds, in a sense, people seem to each other. I can't say I'm glad I looked back at it in general. But neither Fana nor Curtis looked bad.

"Back to the beginning, when we were deprived of our memories, we hurried out of the woods because we were less than half as powerful. And I first noticed Eliza's anomaly and succeeded in reclaiming it by chance. Based on that experience, we all discussed it and came to the same conclusion."

"So for the past few months or so, we've been looking for what we've lost to each itchy land."

"Together, Your Majesty?

"I don't really know if there is a problem with the forgotten person and the people around me unless it's someone else. Like Alec."

Because there are no symptoms of consciousness, it seems that even if only he/she turns to him/herself, he/she will end up with 'I don't know'. But because some people don't talk about it at all, it seems difficult to find it.

"So, like I said, the four of you, including me, by about a month ago, had finished getting back what they had lost. It's just a trial, and after I got it back, I could have gotten stronger than I used to."

"Thanks to you, I also learned the technique to be able to counter the melting demon. As it turns out, the Spirit's test is that he gave me the power I was looking for without meeting the Spirit King. Of course, at dawn when we all get it back, we're going to see the Spirit King again, but we haven't been able to do it yet."

Everyone turned their gaze to Alec. Alec looks uncomfortable with the look.

"Alec was the only one who couldn't regain his power."

"Master Alec's power had fallen, and the atmosphere had changed, so it was obvious that he had been tested by the Spirit, but we had no idea of that" lost trial "… he had been following his journey in reverse for a month or so to get tips."

"So, after a while... one time Garcia and Curtis accidentally told me that there might be one in Alec's hometown.... Speaking of which, what was the reason I eventually realized?

"…… a letter."

"Letter?"

"Alec used to write letters to Ruth."

The women didn't seem to know, but Garcia and Curtis, who were often in the same room at the inn, knew that Alec had written to Ruth when he stayed in a decent inn. But after the Spirit Forest, he realized that he was supposed to be in a situation where he could write many letters, but he never wrote them, and he finally thought it strange.

(Right, a letter? That's why you didn't come here. If there was such a reason, it would be natural. I forgot about me...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ruth overheard me, admiring what was unlikely in the village. The fact that no letter came now should not have been the subject of the story. Unexpectedly rises from his seat to that fact.

"Oh, wait a minute. I mean... from that story, do you mean Alec's" lost trial ”is“ me ”?

"That's what I mean."

Lightly affirmed by Curtis, Ruth loses his word. But when he forced his mouth to open, he shook his head wide.

"... no, no, no, no, isn't that strange? Losing and trying is something that hits a pretty important part of you, isn't it? You guys had a sense of justice, a faith heart, a mercy heart, that kind of thing, invisible, that you could cherish in the back of your mind, right?

"Something that can serve your heart...... when you think about it, that's right. So Alec took care of you."

"No, that's why it's weird. I'm not a dancer."

I don't know if you're serious, or if you're trying to roll Ruth's question into smoke, but no matter what you say, Curtis remains a smile that can't read his thoughts. I don't seem to care much about Ruth's surprise.

But as Ruth, I don't know what that means, and I couldn't wait to be ashamed of myself in the first place. Alec's loss and being a trial is like being told that it's very important to him, in other words, that he was indirectly confessed in front of the public. Alec, the person of the day, is flat without being particularly confused as to why, but Ruth can't help it.

(I see why they were so surprised. Is that what you mean......)

The women who reacted exaggerated when Ruth first said it was Alec's loss and trial were more normal. Rather, like Curtis or Garcia, it would be weirder to tie Ruth together.

"But observing Alec doesn't seem like anything you've lost more than your presence... what do you say, Eliza?

"Yeah, yeah.... Sure, Master Alec is still losing his power, and sometimes he's a little blurred, but I think that's because of the nothingness we all felt the same way...... and I've never seen Master Alec so perfectly forget something either"

"Surely it's just Ruth, isn't it? Alec is obviously not well."

"We've been searching around for Alec's trials for quite a while too... even if that's all we've been searching for, there's never been a single pin before. This is the only clear difference between you and me. You can't ignore how different it is."

"Well, I wasted the last month almost entirely because of Alec, but hey."

"…… I'm sorry."

It seems their struggle continued even after they decided to make their destination to Hashi village that Alec's trials might finally be found. Because Alec doesn't remember the location of Hashi village, and he started wandering around the village around the king's capital for a while.

Apparently, Alec didn't remember the directions or anything because he was in a carriage when he came to Wang Capital. I mean, the memory in that area seems pretty vague in itself, and he only remembered the level that he was in Wang Du when he found himself riding a carriage through the woods. Yet he had difficulty telling me that he didn't remember, and he was trying to guide them on the road with only a few memories. Ultimately, it looks like the traveling merchant taught me.

(Maybe you forgot something you don't even remember?

Ruth remembered the amount of letters sent to him first. When Alec forgot about Ruth, who seems to have been writing to Ruth in the carriage, it is likely that even the memories in between have slipped away.

"Well, everyone said it like that, and I don't think it's possible except you."

"So, but..."

"I don't know how hard it is to accept the content, but even you think it's unusual for Alec to forget, right? I can't believe you think it could be normal, that you write so often and suddenly forget"

"Ugh, well, sure..."

I'm not kidding, if you're seriously forgetting, it's normal to suspect something happened. Ruth was also surprised and upset when she was told head-on that she 'didn't know', but it's true that she thought something might have happened.

And they clearly know the “something" part, and they say they didn't see anything else equivalent.

(... now I don't seem to know what to say)

No matter how weird you think it is, the only thing Ruth denies any more is that the air is too unreadable. It's not weird that they think it's weird.

As Ruth sighed deeply, she lowered her back to the chair desperately feeling like she wanted to escape the inconvenience.

You don't have to think deeply. Yes, it's fine if you don't think deeply about what it means.

"... ok. Do I feel like I can help Alec remember me?

"Right. Ruth, you're fast and helpful."

"No, it's easy over here when the reason is human. I've had a hard time finding a way to get my memory back."

To the two blatantly horrified, Ruth sensed they were completely unwilling to help. But the fact is, in this situation, only Ruth would be able to do anything about it. I have trouble getting help from Ning Luo.

(Besides, I don't want to prolong the conversation badly...)

No one is paying attention to the "Alec's loss and the trial was Ruth” part. Then Ruth will get more and more uncomfortable if we don't finish the conversation quickly before everyone on this scene thinks about something extra.

But as I tried to sit back to cut the story off, I got eyes to eyes with Moore, who seems to have been looking at this one a long time before that. When she meets Ruth, she points her lips.

"But I can't believe Alec lost it and the trials were“ people. ”Who, I've given you a just heart and a feeling of love for peace!

"I thought Alec would be..."

"Moore, you don't mean anything to Eliza. Well, I don't think people - they were all bigger brackets. Individual…… and I don't think a childhood tame is Alec's" lost and tested ”, that is," something that will even change his behavioral principles if he loses it "…………… and what?"

Fana pushes her chest closer to Ruth as she presses her chest against the table. I could see a busty chest from the heavily exposed garment, and Ruth took her gaze off just a little bit. So much so that I think maybe you're doing it deliberately to see Ruth react.

"What are you, Alec?

"... hey, what do you mean... I think you're a child friendly and best friend"

Ruth answers with a face with nothing else on the surface, sweating her heart out.

The word is not a lie to Ruth right now - but I know exactly what's different in Alec because he was confessed, of course.

But there's no way Ruth can say that in this situation. There is also a sense that I have acted too far for a little normal friend, but there was no way I could put that into words either.

But Fana wasn't convinced by Ruth's answer. I blush openly.

"Not familiar with childhood? Best friend?" Don't joke, it's just that childhood taming is Alec's "Lost and Trial," and there's no way you have that much power to make that difference. I'm not talking about Alec's strength, his half-life. "

"But Master Alec is still strong."

"I felt a little unusual before. Maybe we were weak..."

"Yes, but! But it doesn't mean you can't lose your previous strength."

He's weakened, Alec, but for once, he's not on a level like 'becoming a foot clump' on his journey. But the difference seems to be historical from the members looking at the different strengths until then.

"So, what do you think? Are you really“ just ”my best friend?

"Ho, it's true. Of course in the village, we were close enough to be together every day......"

Honestly, I don't think Ruth himself is possible, and I agree with Fana. I can't imagine how much it would affect Alec, remembering myself or not. So much so that it may be a mistake of some kind. But I can't deny it any more than I convinced them of their story.

(Well, Alec said he always liked me...)

I found out in a previous confession that Alec liked Ruth all the way, but I don't feel the story is too big when it gets that far, like changing the behavior principle, or being less than half-strength. 'Cause they're brave. I can't help but think that I have enough value to change the abilities of the brave.

(What does Alec think of that area right now?

When Ruth turned her gaze somewhat to Alec, her gaze matched that of the boring look on her face.

From the way things are, I can't deny it because I've been around and I'm saying, 'How did this guy get so far?' I feel like Alec himself thinks. Unlike before, I can't really read my emotions, so it's only to the extent that I feel like it.

That's how he made a little noise, and accidentally Garcia and Curtis stood up at the same time as if they had a meeting.

"Well, Ruth, I'm done explaining to you, so let's get this all discussed today. I'm going to be in the village until Alec's abilities return and... can we end this once, Mr. Ruth?

"Ah, Yes."

"Yesterday's melting demon thing, we have some things to do first."

"But..."

"... Fana. You don't want to be pursued deeply for your" lost trial, "do you? If you stick your neck in too much, Alec will piss you off when your memory returns, right?

"Ugh."

Zito's eyes turned to Curtis, and Fana shut her mouth. I hate to say it. As a fana who had a loss and a trial, he can't pursue it any further here.

Escaped from pursuit, Ruth sighed small.

"It's good to clean up the melting demon thing first, but we don't have to all go, do we? I want Alec to show me the village. I wasn't seen in the noise earlier."

To Moore's innocent suggestion, Garcia and Curtis stopped moving for a moment, but shook their heads at the same time.

"Moore, you're with me and Eliza, escorting the killers and contacting the King's Capital."

"Uh."

"Without you, the magician, you wouldn't be able to talk in detail."

"So you're saying I'm free?

"Fana, you promised to plug me and the ruins of the beginning into the village chief here, didn't you? If I dive into the dungeon by myself, I won't be able to come back lost."

"Ah, that's what we talked about…………………………."

Fana drops her shoulders with Gacri with Moore. Apparently they thought they had free time, but they still have something to do. If you look closely, Eliza, who was next to Alec, also looks sorry. She doesn't seem to be the very self-assertive type.

"Uh, hey. So what about me?

Alec, who had not been called by only one name, stood up in panic.

"What are you talking about? You, Ruth, are set on the task of undoing your lost memories."

"What, the two of us?

"It must be obvious. Why don't you two go around the village and listen to memorabilia and stuff? You may recall a little bit. Ruth, I know you're busy too, but can I get you something for Alec?

"Ah, yes. I don't mind..."

"Thank you very much. That's what I'm saying, Alec, so make sure you remember. If we don't restore our corrective abilities, it's gonna be hard to make the journey ahead, isn't it?

"………… Okay."

Talking about that, a line greeted Alec and Ruth, and when they confirmed that there were no villagers in the square, they hurried out of the inn.
