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

After a paragraph of noisy meals, Grace started talking pompous when Moore asked her how she was doing from after she was drugged to before she woke up.

"At that time, it was really painful…………."

Grace seems to have suffered quite a bit from the action of the medicine or something. But Grace, who hated to lose, didn't just want to lose, but he hid a bag in the bottom of his shoe that contained the medicine that the thief was trying to burn in a hazy state of consciousness. When I took off my thick bottom boot, I stuck my hand in it and took out a slightly dirty piece of paper.

"This is……"

"Sounds like it's going to get a little big"

Alec and the others who saw the bag looked quite sinister. Apparently, the information we got from that paper showed that there was an organization involved behind this incident that we hadn't anticipated. Ruth didn't know the details, but Garcia said he was taking it to the king's capital and the bag was punished.

"Those murderers ended up being killed by someone in Wangdu's hut without throwing up the details, so I had a lot of uncertainties and I was in trouble. Grace, thank you. Thank you."

"Nothing."

"Thank you. Mr. Grace."

"No, I'd be happy to help Eliza!

Ruth laughs bitterly at the difference in temperature at men and women even though Alec and the others seem to have gotten used to it and it was totally through.

"Hey, by the way, I doubt it, is that a good idea?

"What, Karen?

"Garcia, you guys were supposed to be headed to the king's capital to escort the killer after noon today, weren't you? Why are you here? Do you know that the killer was murdered in the capital? It'll only take ten days to get to King's Landing from here, five days in a hurry, right?

……

The indoor air stopped to answer Karen's most important question.

(Uh, yeah. I was wondering that too...)

Ruth, however, remained silent because he had imagined that they would be travelling in half a day on a journey that would otherwise take ten days to reach the Wang capital, using special means that were not conceivable in ordinary people. Besides, I didn't think they'd talk to Ruth and the others about it anyway. You must decide that you won't understand.

They look at each other in silence and consult only with their eyes.

"... uh, hey, we knew a special path... so it was easy to interact with Wang Du."

And after a slightly longer silence as a time to remain silent, Curtis answers very spicifully as he clouds his words. But Karen, who had a good guess, understood that she had asked the question that she could not answer immediately with that alone, and laughed nicely as she had guessed everything.

"Oh, you know what? I'm sorry. I asked for details."

"What do you mean? What did your sister find out?

"It's something that the eagles don't understand. More than that, why didn't Grace wake up all the time? Moore, do you have a verse in mind?

"Huh!? Oh, yeah. Until now, most of the time I woke up right after I pulled the arrow out, but it's strange that Mr. Grace didn't wake up. Mr. Grace, after your consciousness was completely cut off from the outside, did you see anything?

"What, after losing consciousness?............ hmmm."

Grace tilts her neck when asked a cute question by Moore on Karen's pretense as if she was wazzy. From Grace's head in the moment now, the matter of the movement between the Wang Capitals must have been thin. I thought it might be a difficult type to handle, but it might be easier to handle the opposite.

"I was in the dark the whole time, I guess. I feel like I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything when I raised my voice, and it was a scary place"

"So completely, Mr. Grace's consciousness was sinking into the bottom of the darkness."

"Yeah. Maybe so...... but I accidentally saw a glittering golden light in front of me. Seeing that, I remembered to say I was myself, and I thought I'd go after him. When I desperately followed the light, it grew stronger, and I woke up in bed."

"Golden light?

"What is it, what is it?

Everyone is leaning their necks against the golden light Grace said. But Ruth didn't know why they were wondering.

(Speaking of golden glow... isn't that the thing that's flying around Alec?

Because of the slight restoration of the brave correction abilities, only a little bit of that golden aura was visible around Alec. It's too small an aura compared to the last time I saw her, but it was surprising because I thought it would tie to Alec as soon as she told me it was golden.

Ruth decided to open her mouth even though she knew she was an outsider because everyone seemed to be in trouble.

"Um, isn't that about Alec?

"What, Alec's?

"Yes, the one like Aura around Alec, it's golden..."

"What, Aura?

"Gold?"

To Ruth's remarks, they stare at Alec simultaneously, but lean their necks as they are. If you look closely, Alec himself tilted his neck.

(- Ah, let?

So I started, and Ruth felt uncomfortable. Because everyone reacted completely differently than they thought. I thought you'd be immediately convinced that 'that's what you mean', but for some reason, I don't see how you understand who you are. Even Alec himself.

(Maybe... no one sees Alec's aura I'm looking at?

An unpleasant sweat flowed through my neck.

Ruth thought it was something that everyone could see, but when she saw this reaction, apparently it didn't happen.

But when I think about it, I feel like I don't remember knowing more about that aura and clearly putting it in my mouth and checking with someone. When I understood it again, I didn't know if it was okay for me to put what I saw in my mouth. Because it's a phenomenon that we haven't even seen the brave.

"... Oh, uh, isn't that Alec's blonde when it comes to blonde! You're glittering and you want to see an aura. Or so."

Getting out of Ruth's mouth, fearful, was a painful excuse that was hard to describe. But the glowing gold thing around Alec only seemed like Ruth, and when it did, I got anxious that it might really be a hallucination, so I couldn't think of anything else to delude him.

Anyway, Ruth is so ordinary that she can't compare to their strength or their special talents. You wouldn't normally think of seeing such a ruth and having something they haven't. Then there is the possibility that he is a suspicious person in a system where fantasies are visible, or that he may be considered a troublesome person of high pride who knows him. Instead, I thought it would be easier to stream this topic by pretending to be a little stupid. I just didn't want to be seen in any stranger ways than Alec's loss and being questioned about the trial.

"Shit, Mr. Ruth. Alec, how glittery is your blonde hair? Aura? It's not like that. Hey, Fana?

I don't know if you're serious or if you sent out a help boat to Ruth, but Karen got me on a story like a cliché. Thanks to that, the weird air disappeared just now. I can't get my head up on Karen anymore.

"... but do we all remember when the Spirit Forest came in? I didn't really care then, but the moment we walked into the woods, each one of us glowed a little, didn't we? At that time, Alec's color..."

"Ah, it was golden! Garcia's orange, Fana's water, Curtis's green, I'm peachy."

"Speaking of which, that happened...... After that, the shock of losing power was stronger and I forgot."

"Well, maybe the golden glow Mr. Grace saw…………"

"Given both the timing of his regaining his brave corrective abilities and Mr. Grace's awakening, it's highly likely that Alec's light has become a flame of guidance. Luce, your mistake may not be a mistake."

"Is it true, that's good!

I'll just happily take care of my facial expressions, sweating inside.

(But were they all seen once too......?

Only for a moment when they entered the Spirit Forest, they also said they saw the aura that Ruth saw in the cave.

Then what Ruth was seeing couldn't be called just a hallucination either. But there's no way to find out what this is. And the courage to tell it was not in Ruth, who was just a villager.

"If that's the case... Grace, thank you again, Alec. Maybe if it weren't for him... when would she have slept with him?

When I noticed, Grace, who was supposed to be awake until earlier, kept his eyes closed while sitting in the chair at some point. Karen sighed and said, 'Can I put this girl back in her room?' I grabbed everyone and went back to my room with Grace.

"Brother... you must have taken a meal next to your sister and fell asleep in peace"

"You'll still need to rest for a few days. Even in the early stages, if you have melted, then your mental fatigue, which cannot be cured by healing techniques, should be great."

"I'm glad you're in an early state...... Speaking of which, Garcia, how'd it go with Wang Du?

Anticipating that that's how the lines started talking, Ruth began to clean up the finished plates Grace had eaten.

Afterwards, they didn't seem to care much about Ruth even as he was cleaning up on his side, talking about events that were the king's capital without particularly lurking a voice, or talking about repairing the dungeon.

They had a lot of problems in the Wang capital, and various people and organization-like names came up, but they had no idea what Ruth was talking about. Conversely, it was found that the repair of the dungeon could fill the hole that had been opened, as requested by the village chief, and that the route that Ruth and the others followed would not be able to pass through in the future. I feel sorry for you, but you won't have a choice.

After cleaning up, Ruth called out anticipating the timing as she finished preparing drinks for everyone.

"Now, gentlemen, I'm going back to my room, so just turn off the lamp when you're done talking. You may leave the glass intact."

"Yeah, I'm sorry. Mr. Ruth."

"If you have a lamp, I'll make sure to turn it off. Thank you for today, Ruth."

"Good night, Mr. Ruth"

"Good night, Mr. Ruth."

"Good night."

……

Only Alec would turn his gaze in silence as everyone turned to Ruth and replied. But I saw the hand placed on the table slightly swinging left and right toward Ruth, so I lowered my head and left the spot behind me.

After eating at the mother house, Ruth, who took a bath and returned to the room, sighed loudly as she sat down on the bed.

(A lot happened today......)

The trial of the Spirit King, to which a line of brave men was subjected. The memory of Ruth, whom Alec has lost. Slight increase in Brave Correction Ability. That no one else sees the golden light.

(Plus about Yuan - I really had quite a few surprises in one day......)

The story of Grace waking up is important, of course. But because there were so many things and Ruth was totally tired, I just have 'good' feelings.

(Well, Mr. Yuan's story was too shocking, but I can't think of it as Udauda because the matter is over and I have to wait for the time to pass. Over.... so the problem is Alec... Alec's memory didn't come back in one day today...)

From what I hear, it seemed like it took some time for the other members to regain their memories, so maybe it's not easy for Alec to remember Ruth either. I haven't remembered anything at all so far, so maybe a few days, no, I'll need to be prepared for some long term battles.

(A few days, or... Will Alec remind me by my birthday?

On second thought, Ruth's birthday was just a few days away. I'm not particularly happy about the celebration, but Alec was happy to celebrate it every year as exaggerated as he was about himself. That's why I thought I might miss it a little this year.

(Well, there's a slightly different vibe than the first one right now, but it's completely different from the previous Alec...)

Ruth thinks the cold impression, like when we first met, is a lot thinner in one day today. The way I spoke was a lot less cluttered, and I caught a glimpse of how interested I was in Ruth.

But that couldn't be compared to the childhood training we spent most of our lives with, to the extent that we got to know each other from the red others. So when can I talk to Alec like I did before - I can see the mood receding when I think about it that way.

"Uh-oh, I wouldn't think of anything extra! We need to do our best to remind Alec now anyway. Yeah. That's right. Tomorrow we'll ask him out hunting, and he might be inspired to remember. Decision! All right, I'm going to bed."

By putting it in his mouth, he was forced to convince himself, and Ruth lay down on the spot.

(But I wonder why Alec's brave correction talent has returned only two...)

With a slight doubt in her chest, Ruth dropped the lamp and closed her eyes.

"- Ruth -"

When I closed my eyes, on the other side of my eyelid, my usual smiling Alec appeared, and for some reason the back of my nose hurt.
