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

An impact runs on Ruth's fingertips and shoulders.

It was so painful that I thought I might have broken or dislocated my shoulder, but I still couldn't help myself from my fingertips. Using his feet floating in the universe, he managed to stabilize his posture and shouted at his opponent, who was grabbing it at his fingertips.

"Alec! Alec!

Alec's blonde hair is shaking in the wind at the tip of the neck clothes Ruth grabbed so hard, but there's no way to respond to Ruth's voice if she lost her mind with an earlier headache.

Beyond his own toe and Alec's head, he saw several large tree heads far away, trembling at their height. I wondered if that distance was nearly ten times higher than the inn of the Blau family, which is the tallest in Hashi village. Immediate death is inevitable if you fall out of this place.

"Alec! Wake up, wake up! Alec!"

Ruth puts her strength on the cliff she grabbed on the verge of falling and shouts many times to Alec, who is at her toes. Ruth's voice hits the cliff wall, clinging to his surroundings, but no one listens because he's far from the village, and no help is coming. The glare of the sunset was also only unnecessary at this time, just to disturb the opening of eyes.

Now Ruth is grabbing the tip of the cliff, catching his finger on Alec's neck clothes, and managing to avoid falling. For this reason, it was certain that the body would be pulled to the left and right, and that the strength of the arm would be lost after time as it stood, and that it would not be able to support Alec.

(Huh... but I can't attract Alec!

Ruth is not impossible to lift Alec. Originally, if there's nothing on the ground, it's possible to lift Alec's weight with one arm. Even if it's impossible to lift it up and walk for a long time, it's not impossible for Ruth to drag Boreal down the mountain if it's to hold it. But the problem at this time was Alec's clothes, which Ruth grabbed.

(fingers slipping............ eh)

It was Alec's neck clothes that Ruth was able to grasp aggressively. Moreover, there are three relatively long fingertips grabbing the clothes right now, and if I put it correctly, I was caught at my fingertips. Besides, because of the good material in the clothes, I can see that Alec's weight pulled him and his fingertips slipped. If you try to pull it down to your thumb poorly and grab it firmly, it is likely that your clothes will slip off your fingertips that are the only thing that is caught on that detachment. The only thing Ruth can do is bend his fingertips and slow down slipping a little bit so Alec can wake up and grab it on his own.

"Alec! Please, wake up! I can't hold my finger, Alec!

Yes, even as Ruth screams desperately, I can see Alec's clothes coming out of her fingertips step by step. Eventually, the clothes moved away from my index finger, and I could see the time limit approaching piecemeal, and the rush swelled further.

(What to do, what to do, Alec falls! Alec!)

Ruth searches desperately for his surroundings, but in a situation like the universe, where there are no people and even no horizontal holes are found on the cliff, there is nothing he can do on his own.

"Alec! Please, wake up! Alec! - Somebody, somebody! Who!"

Even though I knew there was no one around me, I had to scream that way as I felt Alec's clothes fall out of my fingertips step by step.

And while I'm there, my middle finger is finally the only one supporting Alec.

(falling, falling! Alec! Alec!

Even though he has a much stronger and tougher flesh than Ruth, even Alec would have a pretty good chance of dying if he fell from this height in a defenseless state of loss. Even if it wasn't an instant death, major injuries would not be spared. In this situation, where there is no way to treat it, it is not possible to recover as it is, only to be out of breath before reaching the village.

(No, no! Alec, Alec, Alec!

I felt the cloth at my fingertips, which was caught at the end, leaving me as if I had lost my power.

As soon as Alec thought he had fallen, Ruth let go of the hand of those who were grasping the rock.

(-Alek!)

- I moved my body as it fell to the ground according to gravity, and I reached out to Alec, who also fell, to attract that body. At the same time, it wraps wind magic around the body and increases air resistance.

But I also know it only prolonged the fall for a few seconds. Ruth's magic doesn't allow him to fly in the sky or slow down the rate at which he falls. Still needed those few seconds.

(Hurry, hurry)

As he hurries to his back to the ground side, he holds Alec's drawn head to his chest, grabs his arm and joins him.

(I'm sure this is just Alec............!

Alec sucks. If his head and arms are even safe, it should be possible to heal himself and recover from the injury. So if you use Ruth's own body as a cushion, you might be able to help Alec - Ruth had no choice but to hope for that.

I can see the sky moving away step by step. It's actually a matter of seconds, but Ruth felt it for a long time at this time. You shouldn't see the ground falling because you're turning your back, but you can see it approaching and your heart sounds louder from the tension.

"Alec……… one more time…………"

I wanted you to call me by my name again, like I did before - I could hear my pessimistic whining zero, unacceptable death.

(- Huh? What!?

- But from Alec's body, which was suddenly supposed to be unconscious, appeared as if an aura of gold bigger than I'd ever seen before.

The appearance of a large, golden glow, as if it had become the sun, feels more powerful than ever before. And at the same time, I saw something transparent slipping out of Alec's body, as I sewed that gap.

"-... Lou, S, Ru, Don't"

When the strong light subsides slightly, Alec's body, which was stopping the movement, moves out.

"Alle, k!?

"Oh, I'm stopping, get caught!

As soon as Alec's voice was heard from his chest, he felt two arms moving against his chest, one quickly turning to Ruth's waist and the other spreading outward. As Alec's head came out of the gap in Ruth's arm, a golden aura drifted and green eyes glanced at the ground.

"- Wind, roar, blow up from the earth!"

The demon squares appeared with such a powerful voice, and a great magic power headed in the direction Alec's hand showed - to the ground.

"Wow!

Big enough wind to think it was a tornado, instead of stopping Ruth and the others on the ground, they blow up into the air. Ruth and the others were gently flown into the sky, but before they could remember the feeling of falling again, the demon squares appeared in all directions and fluttered to the edge of the cliff to support their bodies in the air.

(Wow, I'm fine-tuning the wind magic and moving it as if it were flying...)

From Ruth, who can't release the sorcery, it even looks like she's using flying sorcery. However, the fact that Alec does not use it in this setting may not mean that such sorcery exists.

Then he slowly floated to the cliff outpost, a little higher than the surrounding tree, and Alec lowered his legs to the spot with Ruth in his arms. The sunset went straight to Ruth and the others, finally remembering the glare and narrowing his eyes.

"Haa...... it sucked. Seriously, it was critical………."

With such a grunt, Alec exhaled deeply to appease. But he seemed quite tired, but he never let go of Ruth's body, but rather turned the other one under his butt, which had not been around him, so that he could lift it high. I can help to strengthen it a little.

"Ruth, are you okay? Is there any pain in your body?

With that said, Alec looks up from a slightly lower position. Blonde hair swings brilliantly into the wind at sunset, clear green eyes pointed straight at Ruth.

"Ruth."

Alec's chest clinging to the words. It sounds like the kind of thing Ruth's always wanted.

"- It was this way that was critical. If I'd been caught in the Lord's head a little longer, I'd have assimilated it."

By the voice of such a slightly glossy woman, however, the mood that was floating was dispersed.

(Eh, who...?

Looking at the voice, there was a Japanese beauty floating in the universe with her kimono-like clothes and hair that was longer than her height. Around her, a few transparent, tiny purple spheres float, flying to play with a woman's hair. The silver eyes that are unique to straight brunettes look a little different from people. I don't even know if I'm a person.

Ruth lost his word to a situation that was unrealistic.

"Huh!? What the fuck are you talking about? Speaking of which, Kannagra, you're the one who came into my head on your own!

Alec turned to the floating woman and said 'Cannagra'. Apparently that's her name.

"That's what concubines are capable of. And after taking some of my memories away, getting out of there and watching it sideways is the original way. However, because of the memory of the Lord, the concubine was confined to it and could no longer be restored. If I hadn't had my memory back for a few months, I would have forgotten it as it was, in three months with my concubine caught." How many times have you remembered? "

"You're kidding, you're blaming people! Speaking of which, I guess I shouldn't have because you tried to take away my memory! Mostly now. So if something happened to Ruth, what were you going to do!

"Also, is that the word..." Ruth, "" Ruth, "" Ruth, "" Ruth, "" Ruth. "I'm tired of hearing it in your Lord's head. Forget it, your concubine is a donkey."

"Ugh, you came into people's heads and sealed it on your own, don't say" don't pull "or anything! It took me a while to remember, but if you listen to me, it's your fault!

"It's not the concubine's fault. I can't remember the Lord."

The two were speaking out loud without hesitation. I wish this was the back of a remote mountain, but I would have gathered people if I had done it in the village.

But more than that, Ruth was concerned about what Alec said.

(Now, Alec 'I remember'... that's about me, isn't it?!?

I'm making it so normal that I'm late to realize it, but the sound of my voice and good when I called Ruth earlier was likely that.

When Ruth grabbed Alec's head, angry at Kannagra, she was forced to turn to herself.

"Wow, what is it? Ruth?"

"I remember, is it true...? You remember me?

With that said, Alec narrowed his eyes to see the dazzling thing, and when he held Ruth back with one arm, he looked at her with an open hand touching his cheek.

His brilliant green eyes, visible from the golden gap, reflected Ruth's face straight.

"Yeah, I remember playing at a young age, all the experiences we learned together, the way we hunted together, the goodbye promises I made when I traveled... I remember all the memories I had with Ruth. I'm sorry about everything, Ruth."

In the words, I felt the heart I was pushing clear. At the same time, it springs up so much that joy seems to overflow.

"Alec............!

Ruth held Alec's head in front of her as she felt.

(Alec reminded me! Glad you remembered me!!

With my heart trembling with joy, the feeling of indulgence overflows Shizuku in my eyes. Totally different from a while ago, tears filled with joy made my heart feel warm enough to zero into my cheeks.

"…… a lot, I'm sorry. Really, I'm sorry. Ruth."

When Alec looked sorry for the zero tears, he wiped the tears flowing down his cheeks as he apologized and gently stroked his head.

I was nostalgic and happy that the touch I should have never cared about since I was a young girl was supposed to be only a few days old, and I knew that Alec had been so important to me. And I couldn't wait to be happy with all that, and I had strength in my arms embracing Alec.

"... I don't think I can stop thinking about it, but I'll listen to anything you have to say, and if it's anything, you can hit me. I'll hang the magic of weakening so your fists will work properly."

"Ha, weakening... fine. Fine. If you remember me, forget it."

There were no more words for Ruth. I was just glad Alec remembered me. It was hard when it was forgotten, but I didn't think I cared about that anymore.

However, Alec seemed a little dissatisfied and frowned when he let Ruth's face out of his chest a little.

"It's you, so you always tell me to be a little more angry...... and hey, what the fuck is this!?

"Ah, I'm sorry. I got Alec's hair and face dirty."

Alec, who saw Ruth's hand with his face away, raised his voice like a heartfelt surprise. Hurry up and take it off your own head and I'll bring it in front of you.

"Hey, your right hand is bloody! Nails, they're peeling, shredded meat...! Oh, my God, your left arm is acting crazy too! Aren't they broken!?

"... uh, yeah, maybe it hurts a little?

"Could it hurt? Okay, hey!

I had completely forgotten because of all the things that happened, but after looking at my fingertips, I finally realized that my body wasn't in a very good situation.

The right hand grabbing Ruth's cliff was peeled and bloody with nails other than his pinky finger, and his pinky finger was bent in a strange direction, and his palm was taken with him. My left arm is not bleeding, but my arm doesn't rise and I feel dull pain in the clavicle, and my thumb doesn't move at all, so maybe my bone is broken. Other than that, I started feeling dull pain here and there, not as much as my arms. Probably hit somewhere.

(Well, grab the cliff, Alec. I was there for you...)

Rather, it surprises Ruth that it was done to this extent in that situation.

"Oh, shit! No, I'm sorry I didn't notice."

That said, Alec says something like he's in a hurry. Then, at the same time, the golden glow reappeared, mixed with a light red color, and warm air wrapped the ruth. The pleasant feeling of surrounding and healing the entire body felt so high in magic that it was incomparable with the healing technique Alec had so far hung for me. Ruth, surrounded by light to prove it, returned exactly momentarily to the same condition he had before falling off the cliff.

(No, it feels as refreshing as when I woke up this morning. Are you tired?

When the light subsides, it now touches Ruth's body as Alec inspects it. Even though I knew I had no intention, I was a little tickled to the touch of my neck muscles and armpits, but with them held in my arms, I couldn't escape, and grabbed Alec's hand with my undone hand.

"It's okay, too. Thanks."

"Are you sure you're okay? I put the finest on it so it doesn't leak, but is there anything else that hurts?

"The finest... well, no. Yeah, thanks. I'll be fine."

"What about the legs? What about your legs? What about your hips? What about your butt? What about your shoulders? Does it hurt your neck or your head?

"It doesn't hurt."

I couldn't wait to see Alec's feelings tickle as he grinned bitterly at how worried he was by the excess.

(Yeah, this is Alec, right?)

I used to even feel a little subtle about 'you're worried' and 'do you look unreliable', but now I'm a little happy to be worried. Maybe it's because you remind me of it and I know it's an action.
