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

Ruth slowly walked away as Ed disappeared at the end of the mist. He asked me to leave him alone, but he hasn't told me not to follow him right after him, so I'm going to follow him as far as I can't see he's critical.

(Speaking of which, the priest was coming to the village chief's house, but he was feeling better. Good)

When I went to church looking for Ed, I couldn't see him, and I was listening to Bird, who was feeling better, but it was good to see him.

I finally stopped by the Golas family as well, but Daniel seemed to be back to normal, too. I would have been happy to hear Ruth speak out, worried, 'Don't push it,' but I exaggerate even though I'm determined to worry if my friend doesn't look well. Besides, he told me, 'Don't worry about Fritz' cause I'm going to pay him a visit. I feel smiling at Daniel for a friend thought.

(Alec is gone and there have been a lot of things, but I have more friends...)

Letters arrive regularly from Maxim and Kia, and occasionally Gio returns to the book.

In the meantime, Karen wrote to me about Yuan and Grace. The letter contained a masculine wall hanging made of rare beast fangs, so I decided to decorate the room. Karen seems to make a floral crown or something, but she might have wanted to try it once in a while. In his reply, Alec told me how to make a demon square with hot water. Alec said it seems pretty difficult, but Karen might be able to make it well someday.

And as always, Alec's letter, which is placed on Ruth's desk at regular intervals, had become about his people, not just himself, but more recently. Thanks to this, I feel like they are close acquaintances these days, too.

(Hopefully we can all get together at once)

While we all thought it would be fun to meet up, I knew they had their part to play, headed by Alec, and couldn't leave the land where they were born so easily. Relatively free is about Ruth.

As Ruth slowly followed Ed's signs with that in mind, his footsteps accidentally entered his ear.

"I'm glad they found you, Ed."

Turning to his sudden voice, Remias appeared from beyond the mist behind him. Where the hell were you hiding when you didn't feel any signs until earlier?

"Mr. Remias, how long have you been there?

"Er, I've been flirting around, so I was surprised to hear from Ruth because I saw her back?

Remius approached Ruth, not knowing what he was thinking. I'm laughing at Nico but I can only see her mouth, so I'm not sure if she's really smiling.

"Even so, Ed suddenly grew up, I wonder what Ruth did"

"I didn't do anything.}

I don't know why Ruth suddenly grew up, Ed, who was also rambling. I just thought Ed himself would never seem to answer me if I asked.

"Hey,... can I touch it?

"Eh?"

When Ruth reacted to the sudden offer, Remius waved his hands in front of his face.

"Oh, I don't mean it weird. It's just that Ed touched you and then he grows up, so I was wondering if there was something there. Hey, no?

I don't think Ruth likes to be touched by others. I just can't help thinking that it's been since I was declared like this. But when they said, "Don't threaten me," it became difficult to say no because I didn't mean to.

"Well... if it's a hand or something"

"Gentlemen."

As Ruth offered her hand, Remias shook it with a grin with Niyaniya.

(…………………… what is it? this feeling)

It's not like they're doing anything nasty. They're just holding hands. But I don't feel very good about it. With that in mind, when he was taken to a luxury club in his previous life, he now realizes that the hostess who had his boss holding his hand was in this mood. You won't know this subtle mood until you get hit.

"Hmm, Ruth's hands aren't thin for a boy. But it's made of mamma, and it's a worker's hand. Maybe you should just watch your hands dry. It's good because I'm young now, but when I get older, I lose my moisture."

"Ha..."

They hold my hand in and tell me stories that don't really matter. I missed Alec for some reason, even though it wasn't a big deal.

"Um…… So, what do you know?

"Uh-huh....................................... no, I have no idea"

……

Remias let Ruth's hand go lightly. But Niyaniya's face remains intact.

I don't know what he's thinking, wrinkles lean between nature and Ruth's eyebrows.

(I can't. Mr. Remias is also a customer...... weird guy......)

Ruth is forced to undo the frown between her wrinkles.

The customer doesn't think he's a god, but he understands the need to be polite. I know enough not to change my attitude not to fit.

Besides, Ruth was also aware that he had a different attitude in front of Lara of the Leion tribe, who came at the same time. This is not a good way to continue to serve customers. We need to be fair.

"Mr. Remias, you are not a person in the village, so you may move around freely. But the village decided that the fog was dangerous and it would be forbidden to leave the village until it was clear. So don't go too far..."

"What happened?

"Huh?... No, it's because it's foggy and dangerous"

"Er, even though it's such a small village, it's not enough to prohibit you from going outside the village, is it? I think it's not very normal to reach such a customer with this amount of fog - so something must have happened. Maybe even a missing person came out?

Ruth mumbled when Lemias stabbed her in the face.

I thought I should be honest with you, but I don't know what that village chief, who is nervous about the outside world, would say later if he poorly gave you information that would discredit the village that 'there was a missing person from the village'.

I wish I could tell her that without thinking about it, but Ruth made a strange time because of her previous life's experience and the extra thought.

Seeing Ruth like that, Remias smiled annoyingly.

"Mm-hmm. How about that, a couple of villagers disappeared? Speaking of which, the neighbor's bakery was closed - it didn't look like it was going to open, and the wives of the village were having trouble closing the bakery, which means that it seems to be closed from around yesterday if you suck lately. Why not?"

"No, um………………"

"Oh, but enough to issue a restraining order, and that doesn't seem to be all ~. I'm also concerned about the fog that hasn't cleared since yesterday ~... considering that before the Spirit Festival, maybe the Spirit in the lead has disappeared?

"…………!

Ruth was surprised enough to clog his voice when he was even told of Lodia's disappearance, even though there should be only a few pieces of information that would reach the traveler Remius. But I saw Ruth's expression on his face, and Lemias wipes out the evil and laughs at his mouth.

"Pfft, Nah, I'm kidding. Actually, I know this village, and they already told me a lot about it. I knew there was a missing person from the villagers, and the disappearance of the Spirit. Did I surprise you, I'm sorry."

"Hey, what are you talking about? You were asking someone, weren't you?... Yes, that's why I'd rather not leave the village..."

The moment Ruth was horrified knowing he wasn't being told, Remias' mouth showed his teeth and laughed as if he were going to bite his alarmed prey.

"- That's a lie."

"Huh? What, are you lying?

"I can't believe I asked someone. All of that is my uncle's prediction. But it looks like he was hitting on Ruth to see how he reacted, hehe. Thank you for the ride. You're honest, you're a good girl."

……

For the first time at this time Ruth felt slightly creepy and horrible from a niggling remias.

The modus operandi of laying a lie on a lie and letting them crack their mouth is horrible, but even if you tell them that clearly, it's flat - rather, you see them laughing with a spare attitude, and you don't know how far to go to believe Remius' statement.

(This guy just looks like an unusual uncle... but he's not?

That makes my body stiff naturally and I reach for the Orha I had hidden in my clothes. Of course, I'm not willing to fight, but if I hadn't, my body would have escaped now for some reason. It's as if Wonok showed his true nature. The mist drifts around the area, and yet it creates it.

"... to thank you for your honest reaction. Can I tell you one good thing?

"What, what?

"As a matter of fact, the previous village chief who was in this village... is missing."

"What…………?

Fluffy, warm, damp air felt through the side.

"The fog was still thick like this at that time, and the Spirit Festival was close. The former mayor of the village seemed to be very wary of the fog and reinforced his surroundings, but by the morning of the festival, he had suddenly disappeared from his home. Your wife will be with you."

……

"After a few days of that, the fog cleared up and it looks like the villagers searched together, but I couldn't find the two of them after all. The spirits on him have disappeared. No body has yet been discovered.... I wonder what the hell happened to the former village chief. It's frightening to disappear."

Speaking to sing loosely, Remias also seemed to enjoy the topic, contrary to the horrors of the word.

"..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Because it's true. Earlier, you finally confessed your lies and told me the truth, didn't you? My uncle confesses to lying. This is true."

Lemias, who only laughs at his mouth, approaches. I felt like I could see a silver light from a long gap in my forehead that I didn't think of as a person, and Ruth backed off instantly.

I think it is an illusion due to the foggy surroundings, but the survey worked that it should not depend on the side.

But even if you think you should follow your instinctive reactions when this happens, reason stops you from making critical moves. 'That's a mistake to look at, it's rude to run away from a customer,' he complained, and Ruth grinned bitterly.

"Ha ha... Really, thanks for the info. Well, if you'll excuse me, I have to go after Ed for a moment."

Ruth left for a small run from the spot.

So I couldn't ask why Lemias knew Ed's name.

When I went back to the inn and heard the voices of others, I relieved myself of my chest. The village is not supposed to be the same as usual, but I can't bear the end of it because I have the illusion that it's not my village because of the fog.

(What Mr. Remias was saying...... let's put it on hold for a moment)

It's best to put it on hold at a time like this because I'm worried about judging if it really happened or if it was his lie again.

There was Ed and Celine and Beverly watching his meal as they walked through the misty village.

"Welcome home, Ruth. Ed's back for a while."

"Welcome home, brother Ruth. That was close."

It seems Ed, who once again turned into a childish way of speaking, was having a pleasant breakfast with Celine and the others.

Apart from his changing attitude towards himself, Ruth, reassured that he was spending time with Celine and the others, took him back to his room when Ed's meal was over.

"I'm relieved you're back at the inn."

"It's a promise."

"So, you're gonna tell me what's going on, right? Ed."

"Well, … or else you're going to be chasing me."

Ruth laughed bitterly at the same way she put it. But I feel Ed's air is softer than before. However, I don't know what you're thinking because the expression is still quite scarce to change. Ed is also difficult to read in the opposite sense of Remias.

Place the chair opposite the bed and Ruth sits back on the bed. Encouraging Ed to sit in the chair, for some reason he sat down next to Ruth.

(Oh, is this that one, or the one where you can't crack your heart open and talk if it's front?

If it hasn't been long since I've known you, sitting next to you plays the topic better than talking face to face - remembering such a waste of knowledge from a previous life (the first way I got a date in a magazine), Ruth, convinced by one, was simply happy that Ed had finally forgiven his heart.

But Ed only opened as much clearance as his palm and Ruth sat down. I thought it was going to open for about two people, so it's unexpected.

(But it's Ed, okay)

If you have a bad mouth but look cute Ed, Ruth doesn't care if you ignore your personal space and get approached. Because Ruth is not a shotacon, but she's weak for the basically cute stuff. So if Remius had done the same thing, he would have explicitly avoided it even if he knew it was unintentional.

Ed hesitated for a while, but as Ruth watched him in silence, he eventually opened his mouth with a deep sigh as he gave up.

"... Actually, I've been... weak since I was a little girl, and I couldn't get out. That's why I haven't lived anywhere with friends or anything, and I've been alone all my life."

"Oh, did you?

Ruth blinked at the unexpected story. Because I didn't know Ed, who was walking well, had such a serious illness. They called me a kidnapper, but I'm glad you made the decision to bring him in then.

"…… that's when we met him"

"Him?"

"…… I don't know the gender. I've never seen him face to face... but for convenience, I'm calling him now."

I questioned the story of “meeting” even though I had never met him face to face, but for one second Ruth urged him to go ahead.

"He was in the same situation as me, he was very personal. You moved on and talked to me, and you taught me a lot that I didn't know. I couldn't talk to him every day, but when I was talking to him, I couldn't care less about my physique… it was a lot of fun."

When Ruth peered softly into his calm voice, Ed's expression remained as cool as ever, but he was only laughing at his mouth. The look on his face, which I can tell is not what he's playing, is clumsy but adorable, and Ruth gets on with it and reaches out and strokes his head.

"Huh............!

To Ruth, whom he had touched, Ed raised only a few eyebrows, but did not shake them off. Instead, he pushes his head a little while in silence. Ruth decided to keep stroking her softly because she didn't feel comfortable with the way it looked.

"But I suddenly stopped hearing from him one day..."

"One day?

"It's been since about last year's Fans season. Until then, we talked about it once every seven days, but sometimes when we haven't heard from each other in a month or so... even when I asked why, they tease me, and I don't know why... and during this time..."

Ed seems to have been told by his opponent, 'I can't talk to him anymore'.
