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

(What do you mean, a trap? Takashi Tanisaki died in the first place, right? Why is Mr. Kwong......)

When Ruth was raising such questions about the tear-spilling light, he was gone when he realized it.

"Lightness...... Huh!?

The moment I called in surprised to see him suddenly gone, my eyes appeared dazzling from the side.

Looking back to a brilliance strong enough to clearly see the difference even in the white space, the light that had been crying there until earlier stood up and looked up at a universe with nothing.

The appearance of the light had the opposite impression from when I had been spilling tears earlier. He had strength in his eyes and felt an unrivalled strong will from all over his body.

"- Really, you will, won't you?

Light raises its voice toward its strong glow. When I wondered who I was talking to, my voice echoed from the glow.

"Let's promise - but - if you're going to accept - let's make a wish come true -"

I could not see any emotion in a voice that could not be a man or a woman, and it seemed to answer the question of light lightly. It's like mechanical audio, or it just seems a little different. A voice that is neither firm nor soft.

Moreover, the light seemed to hear the other person's voice firmly, but Ruth's ears, a little further away, could not grasp the content of their conversation because words were interrupted as if the line had been broken from time to time.

"Correct - is to a cursed fate -. - also disappears. Still, I don't care. '

- "Cursed Destiny," the moment I heard that word, something inadvertently crept up.

I felt that there was a bottomless thought in the voice that I thought was mechanical until now, and I realized that the brilliance of my eyes was also dazzling, rather creating a shadow that could not have been in this white space.

(No, no...)

Too strong a light sometimes creates a deep shadow - such a passage from a common novel that no one knows who said came to mind.

"Fine. I don't care if I'm cursed. So..."

'Fine - Ugh. If - of, as you wish - the fate of -. Now - for the covenant - turn your hands on -'

Follow your voice and let the light shine toward its strong glow. Then Shine swallowed the hand.

Seeing how it was, Zokri and chills ran on Ruth's spine. Something that could never be spoken of by reason, though it should never be a scary sight, gave Ruth's brain a warning.

"- No, no, no! No, you can't, pull your hand in, Mr. Light!

With an unpleasant hunch he couldn't speak, Ruth ran out to the light, but for some reason he couldn't move off the spot. In doing so, the body of light is swallowed up so brilliantly that it erases the presence of man.

"Mr. Light!

Eventually, the space was filled by a strong glow, and Ruth's presence became dusty and obliterated.

‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

"-!"

When I opened my eyes, which I thought was crushed by the brilliance, the calm colored ceiling came into view. I was distracted by a situation that wasn't my own room in the inn, but the eyes I knew immediately fit my gaze.

"What's wrong, Ruth? Suddenly I opened my eyes…………………"

"A, Lek............?

It was Alec who peered Ruth in from above his head.

Ruth, relieved that Alec was on his side, once again observed his surroundings. That's Alec's room on the ship Gilmore floating in the universe he rode yesterday, and Ruth seems to have been lying on his bed. Looks like Alec was sitting right on his side reading a book.

(... What was that?

From the circumstances, I guess what happened earlier was something Ruth, who slept with, saw on his own. It's doubtful why the light came out alone without letting Takashi Tanzaki through, but having weird dreams from a previous life is common for Ruth. It wasn't a scary dream in the first place. Rather, it's a bright room, full of hope to see the light that was crying seep through your determination and try to move forward.

(But……………)

But for some reason Ruth was only anxious about the sight. Even if it's not what happened in front of me, I don't feel moist.

That's how I think about the sight I saw earlier, and Alec, who closed the book, touches Ruth's forehead.

"What's wrong? You even had some nasty dreams?

For some reason, the expression of light overlapped Alec's face when he frowned and asked Ruth. I felt bad again and Ruth grabbed Alec's hands as he hurried up.

"Alec. Alec doesn't have a deal with a weird glow, does he? You didn't sign a contract to make a wish come true, did you?

"Weird glow and contract? What's the meaning of this?

To the bewildered Alec, Ruth conveyed the sight she had dreamed of. At first he gave me the look of not knowing what it meant. I was just asking, Alec, but when I saw Ruth was too upset, he held me by the arm. I can keep it on my knees.

Ruth, calm down. Calm down.

"So, but..."

"I'm glad you're worried, but I've never had a“ contract ”. I've never seen Cannagra like that before. You saw the scene, didn't you? It wasn't particularly dangerous, was it?

"Well, yeah, but... before I was born, or something? Rebirth or something............?

Ruth wondered if earlier dreams might imply that light and Alec had anything to do with it. That's why I saw such a weird thing at this time. Alec with the power of the brave. I can't even think that Alec's power is the result of a contract he made with someone like that.

But Alec remained a troubled expression.

"Before I was born......? Hmm... Unlike you, I don't remember my past life. Tensey is something you hear a lot about, but I don't remember doing that."

Alec strokes his back so as to calm Ruth down while it is good. I don't know how Ruth looked scared, the word butt is also much softer than usual.

"Don't worry, you've been sleeping there forever, and I'm sure it's just a dream. Don't worry about it."

"... dreams? …………… well, it's just a dream…… that's true. That's most likely."

When Alec tells me to think calmly, Ruth doesn't have the special ability to peek into someone else's past or future. In the first place, there is no certainty that the "dreams of previous life” that I've been seeing have really happened before. I'm just thinking that Ruth is from previous life memories. I realized what Alec was saying was the most natural thing.

(That's true. Why did you think my dream earlier was real?)

Even now, Ruth herself felt that way and no longer knew why she was afraid. The anxiety in my chest had completely disappeared if I noticed because of it.

"... sorry, something's bothering me"

"Don't worry about it. You better put your anxiety in your mouth.... Well, I wanted you to have a good dream today."

With that said, Alec drops his lips on Ruth's forehead and he also touches his cheeks and nose intact. He moved while kissing me to twitch for a while and kept blocking my lips. While she was being sucked and licked, Ruth felt kind of flabby.

(Ugh... what is this feeling...)

Alec's gaze is slightly sweet when directed between kisses, and his hands are gentle enough to touch Ruth's body. Besides, Alec seemed unscrupulous and sparkling, releasing the air of happiness three or four times as much as usual. Somehow, it feels like full pheromones.

"I left the cure on, but are you all right?

"Ugh, yeah."

"How uncomfortable? Don't you have any sloths left?

"Go, go."

"Good for you."

Alec, who laughs happily at Ruth's reply, seems in a pretty good mood. He still looks like he's about to sing a nose song, and while he also drops his lips on his bracelet during the conversation, he bites lightly on his clavicle, smells Ruth's hair, and pinches his fingertips and strokes one at a time.

I feel happy watching Alec seem to enjoy it that way - but at the same time Ruth, who has little experience in this heartburn sweet situation, couldn't stand it and accidentally pushed Alec's face.

"What is it?

"No, ah, uh, Alec......... well, uh, stomach, aren't you hungry? Me, wow, I'm losing it!

"………………………………………………………. Right. I'm out of a meal, so let's make it dinner."

Alec looked disgruntled for a moment when he understood Ruth's insides, but immediately laughed niggly and he returned to his usual atmosphere. Ruth was relieved about it - but was stunned to see the bright sun rising outside the window that was in the room.

"What's up, Ruth?

"Alec...... What time is it?

"Ah? You've been wanting to go past lunch already?

"Uh-oh! Dining room stirrups!

In the morning Ruth, who remembered her plans to clean up the dining room in the soaked room yesterday - was about to jump out of the room naked in a hurry and was stopped by Alec.

It should be noted that Alec was apparently helping to clean up the inn on his behalf, and that Ruth was not particularly blamed for following her parents thoroughly and staying out without permission.

‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

On the evening of the day Ruth jumped up in Gilmore, the inn entrance was slightly annoyed by a line of brave men and members of the Blau family. A row of brave men, equipped just as they first showed up, are now handing over dinner from Celine to check their baggage.

"I'm sorry that I left so early. I really wanted to relax a little more in this village..."

"I'm in the middle of a hurry journey. I have no choice."

Ruth shook her head at Curtis, who looked sorry as she liquidated the inn.

One line said Alec's abilities had returned to normal, so he had to travel quickly. When I hear a lot about it, it seems that the King of the King's Capital has also called me for a while now, and as for time, it seems to be quite a critical departure.

(Well, you have no choice)

Of course, I think Ruth would miss them traveling, including Alec, but they took quite a bit of time looking for lost memories, so I knew I wouldn't be able to take it very slowly. I can't help it because it has an important role to play in the end of the world.

I was not at all willing to force myself to hold back because I would be happier to come back sooner to solve the world's problems than to stay and travel longer. Ruth was also the one who slapped Alec on the back who was reluctant.

"But don't worry, Mr. Ruth. Master Gio says that our line, no, the power of Master Alec's brave men is high, not flying among the brave men of history. I'm sure you won't be able to bring Alec back to Mr. Ruth."

"Don't fly... does Alec?"

"Yes! According to Gio, I'm sure Alec's power will be the key to the future world."

Ruth was a little relieved by the encouragement from Eliza. If that geo is the strongest in history, it won't fit Alec's dying eyes. I'm sure he'll be back safe.

"But, Mr. Ruth..."

"- Ruth! Hey, come here!

The moment Eliza tried to continue something, Alec, who hadn't shown herself since she decided to leave today, appeared through the stairs of the inn. He holds a big bag of where he brought it from in his hand.

Ruth turned to Alec as he smiled as he turned to Eliza in the middle of the story.

"What's wrong? Don't even look at me the whole time."

"You suddenly decided to leave. That's why I was sorting."

"Sorting? What?

"This."

Having said that, Alec approached the dining room table and took various things out of the bag.

"Hey, this is not amazing...? … very, very expensive………………………………."

Alec placed it on the table, starting with his forehead, with glasses, earrings, necklaces, chokers, bracelets, rings, belts, waist pouches, waist rolls, ankles, large knives, small daggers, bow and arrow sets, canes, long swords and all sorts of things, each of which emitted light and were not luxurious but delicate and heavily constructed, something that the amateur Ruth could see as worthwhile.

"Er..., are you selling this?

"I'm not selling it. All you can do is refuse to buy from a leading store in Wang Du. He said it was too expensive."

"Then why did you put it down?

"Why, it's up to you to do it."

"…………………………? Want to do it?"

Alec smiled, not sure if he knew Ruth's question or not, and put it on Ruth's neck when he took the necklace that was emitting light.

"This is the one where when an attack on an Armored Person enters, additional attacks of fire are added to the reflection of power. The flame of extra effect is a strong B-rank blow, so always be equipped."

Then when the two lights are staggered, they are applied in the opposite direction to the arm on which Alec is wearing the bracelet.

"This is the one that sucks the opponent's magic and causes him to convert it into the Attack of the Gear. The stronger they are, the more powerful they become. Even the E-rank opponent is highly reductive enough to break a tree with a single Decopin shot, so you can fight with your fists if you have to, and then..."

"- Wait, wait, wait!

Now Ruth hurriedly stopped Alec for trying to hold the earrings. And hurriedly removing the necklace and bracelet pushes it against Alec's hand.

"What, don't you like it to this extent? But if you go any further, you will use your magic powers."

"- No. You don't like it. Talk about not getting this."

"Why?

"Why, it's too effective for me..."

Necklaces and bracelets were too effective for Ruth, who lives in Hashi village, where problems rarely arise. I'm too afraid of a necklace where villagers defeat B-rank enemies fighting in total with just the added effect, and if mistakes happen and hit villagers, there can be a mountain fire if it's a flaming attribute.

"…… So, how about this one? A little less powerful, but if thunder falls on the touched guy and it's about C-rank, it's going from bone to bone."

"- I don't need it."

When Ruth unequivocally refused, Alec turned into a tremendously dissatisfied face.

"Why not? You need something to protect you, don't you?

"Sure, there can be some, but he said these don't deserve anything, no matter how much. And with all this, there could be an accident."

"It's okay. There are synergies, but I don't have the ability to strike them off. Worst of all, running wild isn't going to do any damage to you, the gear man."

"............ what was the damage around then?

"………………………………………………… C 'mon?

Looking at Alec, who turned away, Ruth drove all the items on the table to the bag. I don't want it all, it's a sign of intent.

"Why not... You don't know what's going to happen because of how much Hashi village it is. Keep it. There's also the Bal and the Molten Demon thing! The bracelet didn't work because Jijii worked it out!

"I did have a hard time with that, but it's usually peaceful, so I can't live wearing something so dangerous. So I don't want it."

"What if something happens to you!

"I'm happy to worry, but I'm saying it's excessive"

"That's nice, it worked a little bit better! You feel safer about that!

"I'm saying it because it's not 'a little'!

Alec was unwilling to pull it off, but Ruth was also unwilling to accept such an unworthy thing. I'd like to hear some of what Alec has to say, but it's different from this.
