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

Ruth and Alec thought they would be surrounded again as they rolled around the square, so they decided to go to a field on high ground while everyone was taking a lunch break. There are many places to look around the square, but I didn't think I could walk normally with Alec, who was known to be a brave man.

But the two hurried legs were also stopped before they exited the square.

"Aleku! Welcome home!"

"Ah, Marianne"

It was Marianne who loved Alec who found them running around the corner of the square.

Marianne is a childhood familiar close to Ruth and Alec, two younger girls in the village who were often treated in sets of three. Because of that, Alec's language isn't very hard either.

Red curly hair is adorable, reputable in the village and beautiful, and he is also Colt's one-sided opponent. Because of that, Ruth had a past of unknowingly buying weird grudges.

Ruth has been hanging out with Daniels and the others a lot lately, so it's been a long time since I've seen Marianne face to face. When Daniels and the others are around, it seems difficult to get close to a woman.

"Marianne…………"

Alec looked a little subtle with Marianne in his sight. Once upon a time, Ruth thought this look was coming from a blindfold, but now she can tell it's not. Of course you don't hate it, but I know Marianne likes herself, so she probably thinks it's hard to handle.

"Alec! Welcome home, I was just talking to your father when I was home, and I'm going out right away. I wanted you to say hello."

"Sorry, I'm a little bummed."

"Marianne, long time no see"

"Ruth, I heard what you did this time! Wow, I can't believe we're headed for the thieves! I'm surprised."

Marianne is the daughter of the village chief, so it's quick to get information on what happened in the village. And at the end of a major event called the temporary return of the brave man, he seemed to know that Ruth was still active, albeit slightly. However, it seems that Alec has not even purchased the information that he has forgotten about Ruth, and he has been dealing with it as usual.

(Marianne is a good girl after all)

Now is the time to treat the village woman relatively normally, but when Alec was there, she had a bad reputation and felt a little disliked. But only Marianne was a good girl who was treating Ruth normally. That's why I was trying to support you and Alec.

(But now………)

Honestly, for some reason Ruth's mood is complicated. It doesn't seem like a bad combination when I see him lined up, but I feel like I can't watch him because I know how Alec feels. The more favors Marianne tells Alec she won't hide, the more Ruth stays here. I can't help but moan.

(I don't know what this feels like... this didn't happen before...)

This was the first time I didn't want to see Alec and Marianne lined up.

"Speaking of which, your father told me you left the village because he said you were a brave man. Why didn't you tell me before you left?

"I was in a hurry, I'm sorry. Besides, my little dad told me not to teach people in the village."

"I never heard your father say anything else. You could have at least told me..."

Apparently, Marianne is uncomfortable that Alec didn't tell her she was a brave man. He's swelling his cheeks like a bully. I still hadn't gotten a letter at all since, and I wondered why he didn't come back every once in a while. I was connected to Alec.

Ruth thought, 'Alec suddenly had a hard time telling me he was a brave man, too, and I can't help it,' but it's hard to say subtly as he receives frequent letters and knows two homecomings.

But now that I know Alec, with a bitter laugh, is feeling a little irritated, I decided to hurry up and put another topic in my mouth. I just don't want to see the two sinister moods.

"Oh, Marianne, what's wrong with that hair decoration? You're so cute."

"Eh?"

Ruth suddenly pinched her mouth, but when Marianne touched the hair decorations, she laughed at the smell. The hair decoration was designed to be lined with lots of small flowers, giving off a bit of an urban atmosphere.

"Ah, this one. Colt gave it to me today, and he said he got it from a traveler who came to the store. Sometimes Colt gives me this kind of thing, doesn't it? But I've never decorated my hair before."

I was a little impressed with the story: 'You're working surprisingly hard, Colt'. I guess Colt is just trying to get a good impression that Alec isn't interested in Marianne.

"Wait a minute, Marianne"

But Alec, who was listening to Ruth and Marianne, suddenly touched the hair decoration.

"Uh, hey, what? Alec?"

It takes shape so that Alec can stroke his head, and Marianne dyes his face red and upset. The aggressive momentum earlier disappeared and the appearance of jitteriness is adorable, but for some reason Ruth's Sprout spreads.

Alec muttered something and then gently slapped the hair ornament and let go of her hand.

"It was a little cursed"

"Yes!? Liar, curse?

"It's okay. Not so weird, and I just solved it."

"Good."

Marianne slowly removes the hair decoration because she was anxious to hear that the curse was hanging even though she felt safe.

Nevertheless, I thought it was unusual to curse at hair decorations.

"... Alec, what curse was it?

"Ah? It's an easy technique to bring yourself to the attention of the person you want to distract. It was so weak that it was about to expire."

When Ruth sneaked in, Alec replied in dismay. Apparently Alec even knows thin who did it, 'I didn't do that, make a more different appeal,' he mutters. Maybe it's because this is how Alec was preventing Colt's actions from ever having any effect on Marianne.

"…… you do this in a dignified manner. The curse won't do you any good."

Alec hasn't had very good feelings for the curse system for a long time, so it seems that the area is still tough as ever.

"I can't believe you would do that if I already colted... what am I going to do with this"

Marianne looks a little disgusted. Although I like the design, the fact that the curse was hanging made me unwilling to put it on at once.

"I disarmed it, so it's okay now. Bring it, I think it suits Marianne, Colt is quite sensible."

"Huh...... Really? Suitable?"

"Yeah, it looks good on redheads."

To Alec's words, Marianne snorted the hair decorations she had back to her hair. And he wants Alec to see it. He's repeatedly appealing. This would not be a pattern of being returned or disposed of.

(Yeah. This isn't Alec's fault...)

Earlier, I thought that Alec was causing the appeal to go bad, but I remembered that it was not the case when he told me how good the colt was. I'm sure Alec's right. It won't work because of the extra evil.

Ruth felt his face loose unexpectedly to Alec, who praised the subtle colt.

"Speaking of which, Alec will be back after the brave journey, won't he?

"What, back…………?

Alec was a little surprised by the question, but Marianne proceeded to talk as she nicked whether she had received it as an affirmation.

"Yes, when I get back. Then it's time to go into some house and study the family business there, right? Because even Alec can't be just a church priest."

He needs to go into seminary and study to become a church priest. Normally it seems to start as soon as you are a teenager. Of course, although Alec is grateful to the priest who raised him, he won't be willing to be a priest himself.

That's what Marianne seems to think.

But for some reason, I started looking up to Alec.

"Well, well, if you like…… we will…"

"- Ah! Alec!

"Alec, Master Alec!

But as soon as Marianne tried to say something, she heard more than one woman from afar. When Ruth sees the voice, several young village girls are running towards us. The moment I thought I would be surrounded - the siege net was ready. Ruth is outside the mosquito net, of course.

"Alec, why don't you come to our house? We have delicious handicrafts!

"What are you talking about, Alec's coming to us! You know meat pie is excellent."

"Wouldn't you rather shop than that? If you come to us, I'll give you everything for free!

"Wait a minute, I was just telling you!

As soon as that happens, the surroundings get noisy.

Ruth was overwhelmed and had no choice but to bypass the efforts of Alec between the women, who seemed more scattered than before. When this happens, Alec himself has no choice but to get out of them.

(I don't know what's going on, Alec... even though I usually try to leave as soon as I nick and say I have business)

Alec basically didn't deal with many other women besides Marianne. Sometimes Marianne is used to it, but I guess it's because she doesn't know exactly who she's dealing with until other times. But Alec had a troubled look at this time, but he didn't move. If I had, I would have pulled Ruth's arm because I was busy right now and just ran away, but my attitude was somewhat less clear than before.

(But the sun will go down like this...)

I don't have to think about not settling into their feud. Ruth also has the purpose of going around the village with Alec, so he decided he had no choice but to take a last resort.

(Uh, there was a good grass somewhere...)

Ruth reached for and pulled out of the nearby weed, good thing no one was paying attention to herself. Then he snuck it behind his back and put it at their feet when he finished the trick. Of course none of the women talking to Alec is paying attention to Ruth.

And Ruth breathed smaller, shouting louder than usual.

"Wow, Marianne, don't move for a second!

Everyone turned to Ruth's purposeful shout. At that moment Ruth points her finger at their center in overaction. Once there, a colored palm-sized object was rolling.

"I have Gezizizi at my feet!

"- Ghaaaaaaaa!

In the advent of the harmless demon Gezizizi of the hated, the women who were gathered fled at a glance to scatter the spider child.

Seeing it, Ruth grabs Alec's arm and runs out toward the woods. Alec also immediately guessed the situation or ran out with his own legs.

"Is that Gezizizi? You just crushed the grass and circled it."

"That's okay, I wanted to run away."

Yes, what Ruth did was discolor the larger leaves by crushing the fibers everywhere, creating the dislikes' demons and gezizizi fakes, and putting them in their center and running away.

By the way, Alec seems to have forgotten this too, but this way of making fake gezizi, was conceived at an early age for Alec and another use.

"You look like an adult. Don't be surprised."

"…… yes, I guess?

Growling admirably, Ruth moaned just a little.

Moya Moya I felt when I saw Alec talking to Marianne earlier. Without knowing what that was, I walked first on the shortcut to the highground that I had recently been able to do.
