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

Ruth and Ed, who are back to their original five or six year old height, are led straight to the dining room by Dorthe after dressing.

By the way, Ed told me that it's almost always the same time that a late dinner is opened due to Dickhout's work.

(However, if its content is subtly different every time……)

So Ed can't seem to say enough 'what happens at this hour' either.

It's true that Ed is changing his behavior, so it's not surprising that there's been a change in events because of it. It's called Butterfly Effects.

They say that meals that are just bound to take place always end with unpleasant air.

(I wonder what you mean by unpleasant air after eating...... does someone fight?

Ed didn't even want to say the “unpleasant air” part.

It's just that this time Ruth and the others went after Tiana, and she thinks something might change, and she also seemed to expect it from you.

(What does chasing Tiana change)

When Ruth tried to start thinking about this phenomenon again, he noticed that Dorte, who was walking ahead, turned around just a little bit.

"Both Mr. Ruth and Mr. Ed gave us the right size of clothes to reassure us. I apologize for the plain colour of Mr. Ruth's things as they are my young clothes..."

"Oh... No, thank you very much for lending me... Honestly Unni"

Ruth laughs bitterly when she is aware of herself, even though she was pointing at the corner.

(... Well, it suits you and you should consider it no problem)

Ruth and the others, the unplanned guests, were given what Dorthe deserved as a change of clothes.

Ed was given a boyish-looking vest and half pants that Dickhout wore in his childhood, which looks great on him with a little longer hair. It fits the body perfectly too, and it's so Ed's better than the slightly larger ruth back he wore the first time.

By contrast, Ruth's clothes - she deserved it, it was a long-skirt piece.

As Dorte said, the colors were relatively plain as they were when she was younger, and the design was at least calming, but the salvation. Of course, I didn't have any resistance to wearing it, but I wouldn't be complaining about my role as a sister or brother.

Ed also said, 'It always suits me. Or, I think it's cute,' he said, what a difficult comment to respond to.

In fact, Ruth also confirmed herself in the bathroom and was a little surprised that she wasn't feeling too uncomfortable. If it had been a previous life, that would have been something that was too irritating for others to show, so I thanked Celine for the beautifully born again.

(Set aside the outfit. More than that, the problem is opening up this situation)

I'm sure Ruth won't be able to keep his memory this time around. If we keep this up, time will return again, and as Ed says, it is imperative that we start coming to the mansion with a face that knows nothing again.

"Ruth."

"Hmm?"

On the way up the stairs to the second floor where the dining room is located, Ed pulls his hand and speaks in a small voice.

"... the meal is about to start, but keep an eye out for Tiana"

"To Tiana?

"Yes, I don't know what's going to happen, but she's the cause of the unpleasant air. So keep an eye out for action. But definitely stop moving impulsively."

"Ugh, yeah? Okay."

I was curious about the strangely strong way of saying 'absolutely', but Ruth nervously walked into the dining room with Dorthe's guide.

The dining room upstairs was narrower than it was originally intended for the family, rather than a place to eat with visitors. The size, though, is bigger and more splendid than the dining room of the Blau family, which assumes about twenty people will enter. The table is also a large rectangle, and chairs and dishes are incomparable.

When I went inside, Dickhout was already sitting in the back seat, and when I saw Ruth and the others, I smiled nicely.

"Sorry, it's late"

"No, never mind. I was ready, too. I got here early."

"Ready, Your Majesty?

"Ha, never mind. Yes, in your seat."

"Ah, Yes."

Though he was curious about the word "ready," Ruth once again apologized to Dickhout for how unwilling he was to talk, Benno proceeded to take his seat.

Ruth and Ed sit down to the left hand side of Dickhout sitting in the front. There's a table set for one at the front of Ruth and the others, so I'm sure that's Tiana's seat.

(You sit closer than I thought...)

Nearly twice as wide an arrangement compared to the spacing of the chairs in the dining room of the Blau family, but it was a shoulder watermark because I expected to eat at such a distance that I thought it would be 'hard to hear your voice' very far away. Dickhout doesn't seem to really like a solid format. Maybe he's just rich, and his senses are close to ordinary people. But Ruth is better off too.

"Benno, is Tiana coming yet?

"Dorte is on his way to pick you up right now. Please wait a little longer."

Ruth was public speaking with Dickhout until Tiana arrived. He was in a pretty good mood for a difficult job until earlier, apparently after it was over. It seems like it's been a long time since I've had a meal with Tiana, and she can't wait to be happy.

"So, did you two get to talk to Tiana?

"Oh, excuse me. I tried to talk to your daughter and I looked for her, but she always... she ran away..."

When Ruth honestly told him the situation, Dickhout obviously dropped his shoulder.

Seeing the strange Dickhout, Ruth turned her gaze softly to Ed, 'I'm just sorry,' he muttered small.

Apparently, I'm sorry to hear Ruth and the others report that I can't talk to Tiana every time. He was a little relieved that he didn't seem to be in a bad mood. But once again, I don't think I'm 'sorry' for how I fainted. Words of apology appear.

"... No, it's not for you to apologize. It's Tiana's fault for running away, so don't worry about it. I'm sorry, I'm tired, but I let you find Tiana in the mansion."

"Oh, no, that's not at all...... because I enjoyed being free to look inside your lovely mansion. Um, the Stone Statue of the Spirit King was lovely too!

Ruth swung to the stone statue of the King of the Spirit, which was in a blowout place behind the ground floor, in an effort to defy the topic. I thought he would be quite thoughtful because he had all those impressive stone statues.

But when Dickhout waved the stone statue topic, he froze his sorry, bitterly grinning expression and stopped moving.

…………

"Oh, uh... Mr. Dickhout?

I speak to Dickhout, who suddenly stopped saying anything in his true face, even as Ruth is bewildered.

Then he moved out again after a short while.

"Oh, Natasha's portrait would be beautiful. I had a top painter paint it for me. Especially the one in front of the front door is in a good mood..."

"What, a portrait? …… Ah, yes…………?

Ruth nodded bewildered at Dickhout, laughing and spreading the story of the portrait.

His expression managed to keep him smiling, but Ruth couldn't keep up at all with Dickhout's abrupt switch of story.

(Well, I just talked about the Spirit King's stone statue, didn't I? Why a portrait? That, maybe you touched some kind of mine?

The obvious change of subject was that the Stone Statue of the Spirit King was something that Dickhout didn't want to talk about - that's how Ruth thought about it, while uncomfortable, gets on with the Dickhout story for the first time. It was just hard to point out that I could change the subject so openly.

After a while we talked about that, the dining room door opened and Tiana and Dorte showed up. Tiana wore a dress that was more luxurious and longer in length than she first saw. It looked good on her young, but she seems a little hard to move.

Dickhout, who noticed the two of them coming in, became his father's face when he finished his conversation with Ruth.

"Tiana, isn't it too late? Customers are waiting for us today, we have to hurry up."

"……… I'm sorry………………………."

Tiana stood still and apologized small, sitting quietly in the chair.

(Hmm, the air is heavy......)

As soon as Tiana arrived, Dickhout didn't just erase the previously upbeat atmosphere, but for some reason even Benno and Dorte began to get some nervous air. Ed remains nervous at first. Thanks to this, Ruth also keeps a sticky grin, so it fills up.

(Is this what Ed said about "unpleasant air”? So I need to keep an eye on Tiana's trends ahead of me...)

Even while Ruth was scratching his inner sweat, Chester came out the back door with a meal on the wagon, and the payment began.

I was worried that it would be served even if it was a tough course dish, but all the meals that came out were commonplace. Rather, I feel like I just reduced the amount of stuff I'm eating in the village and put it on a beautiful plate.

(Well, it's Mr. Chester who's cooking the meal...)

Ruth looked sideways at Chester in an unfamiliar cock outfit.

Chester is a baker, but not the kind who serves course dishes. The village is considered to be just as good at cooking as Celine, but it is also the only place in the village. According to Clark, there are a lot more amazing restaurants in Wangdu.

I just remember Ruth well because Chester's baked bread tastes sweet. And the bread in the cage served on the table tasted gentle to remember.

(… this one definitely means Mr. Chester……)

Due to the fact that he doesn't recognize Ruth at all, there is a slight possibility that someone else's aerial resemblance is possible, but it would be impossible to imitate just how the bread tastes. This completely crushed the possibility of someone else's aerial resemblance.

(When that happens...... what does that mean?

There's a good chance Chester got lost in this mansion, just like Ruth and the others, and was repeatedly imprisoned.

However, I am concerned that I have no memory of my time in the village.

(I wonder if that's the same thing that I don't keep all my memories like Ed... but then we talk about why I remember the village and Alec... what's the difference between us and Mr. Chester?

As Ruth thought as she ate, she noticed that Ivan, who should have been in the garden, snuck out of the door where Chester came out.

Iban is wearing a white shirt with knolled trousers and even a tie around his neck, instead of working clothes like when he was in the garden, which can be dirty. It's like I'm doing something special for you. It's a surprise from Ruth, who only knows how he was walking the mountains with his hunting tools on his back in the village.

Such Iban had a big bag in his sneak and stuck it on the wall behind Tiana.

When I look at Ruth, who was chasing me with my gaze, I look at her and tell her not to look at me. I had no choice but to look away softly, wondering what the hell it would be.

(Mm-hmm. Grandpa Iban doesn't remember me at all either...... we both seem to be able to forget our original jobs and family relationships and become cooks and gardeners of this mansion.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Can you be a cook and a gardener?

I felt something shine in Ruth's brain.

At that moment, however, a small piece of bread resembling a shoe cream is placed in front of him. Soon the food seemed almost finished.

I'm sure this is today's dessert because that plate has fruit and cream on it together. But thanks to Chester Sense, the finish is a bit unfortunate. I wish I could serve it normally, but I wonder why I put the red nuts on top of the round bread and shaped them like eyeballs. I feel too strongly that I am failing in my attempts to elaborate.

"It's today's dessert. Tiana, I made it for your lady."

Chester, who brought himself, said so and laughed at Tiana.

- But Tiana frowned when she saw the dessert placed in front of her.

"…… lying. Everybody's lying!

Tiana, who suddenly raised her voice like she was angry, goes down the chair without her hands on dessert.

"Tiana, come back here!

And he didn't even turn to Dickhout's voice like that, he jumped out of the dining room.

"Lady Tiana!

Dorte moved to follow Tiana when he realized the behavior. Ruth was relieved to see how it was going, but I remember noticing Dickhout sighing deeply and saying that everyone in the mansion wasn't doing well with Tiana.

While Ruth wondered if you might be able to take care of him, he said, 'Shall I go after him?' I tried to call him.

But before that, he pulls his arm forward from next door.

- Ruth, wait.

"Huh."

Ed with a serious face holds me in his arms with both hands and stops moving. And I remembered being told not to move impulsively. Maybe Ed was saying this.

But in Ruth's ear, where he stopped moving, he heard someone fall.

Apparently he noticed that sound as well. Benno says no to Dickhout before leaving for the hallway.

Benno's footsteps out of the room become faster and more perfect. Ruth could no longer sit jiggly in the unnatural footsteps where something seemed to be happening.

"Ed, I'm sorry. I'm worried about how things are going, so I'll see."

"Ruth!"

"Because I'm just going to look. Mr. Dickhout, excuse me for a moment."

Ruth takes Ed's arm off and hurries out into the hallway. And not far from the dining room, I found Dorte sitting on the floor and Benno rushing over to it.

"Mr. Benno, Mr. Dorte, what's wrong!?

"Mr. Ruth."

"Oh, even Mr. Ruth. Give me a leg..."

As Ruth rushed over to the two, Dorte had a painful look as she rubbed her legs.

(Turns out, Mr. Dorte has bad legs)

Apparently Benno wasn't aware of Dorte's leg malaise. His face is bright blue. 'This guy looks like this too,' Ruth was a little surprised to see where his expression had never changed.

"Ruth, what's wrong!?

But when I saw Ed coming out of the dining room like he was chasing Ruth, it was the moment I tried to respond.

"- Caaaaaa, -!

From the front entrance at the end of the hallway where I am now, after the scream of the girl sounded, there was a dull sound of something heavy falling and knocking me on the floor. The sound now wasn't that light, like dropping things or people falling.

I have a bad feeling, my temperature drops all at once.

"... now, the sound... eh! Tiana!?

"Wait, Ruth!

Ruth ran to the stairs in front of the front entrance where she heard a scream as she heard Ed.

And at the same time as I arrived, I searched for Tiana's appearance - and discovered the girl falling in a strange position on the dance floor of the stairs.

"Eh, Tiana!

In front of a portrait of her late mother, Natasha, who smiles gently, her daughter, Tiana, had stopped moving with her eyes open.
