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

"You're almost there."

"Gaw."

The fire that set off in the evening burns the fire, and the shape breaks down little by little. The number of spirits gathered around the village of Hashi has now increased beyond counting. It manifests itself in red, blue, white, green, yellow, purple, even spirits with colors never seen. As the village chief said, there are times when senior spirits are hosting your son. I guess this year is special.

"Good to see you again this year, Alec"

Alec, with Ruth on her lap, cheeks at Nico laughing in the face of the beast. The temperatures are high, but the soft furrows of the Layons are pleasant, and Ruth snuggles by accidentally. Alec's thick hands come around his hips all the time.

(Really good to see...... I never thought it was only a few hours since I went looking for Ed)

Captured by Natasha's technique, Ruth and the others had repeated the night of the Dickhout family more than ten times, but the flow of time in the real world was slightly different. I thought he'd been missing for days and bothered his family - but it was only a few hours, including the time Ruth went near the dungeon to find Ed.

Thanks to this, Ruth is now able to see the ritual of the Spirit descent that adorns the end of the festival.

(That's horrible, in your consciousness...)

I guess Natasha was driving the feeling of time crazy. Then I don't know how many times the people who had been in there for decades had been repeated. I didn't even want to imagine it.

I'm glad they didn't have to treat me like I was missing, but when all those tough events were cleaned up for just a few hours, I felt so complicated.

"…… Is the church better?

Ruth found a church in the festival that emitted sacred air. The church was an emergency room on the day of the festival, and no one gathered around it, even in the midst of this noise, because they could not get in without being sick or injured.

(Ed and others, I hope it gets better soon......)

Ruth, helped out of that world by Alec and Orha, woke up in a lab-like place when she realized.

A sphere bigger than his head was cracked in the middle of the room. There were other complicated appliances and many beds, and the walls were made of stone and iron. It was as if it were the same sight as a near-future film I had seen in my previous life. I thought I saw the same thing somewhere in this world, but would it have been misremembered?

Alec said the stuff in the room is pretty old, and it's probably the same level of so-called artifact as the flying ship they use, Gilmore.

The central sphere, which is now cracked, seems to have slightly cracked the moment Natasha hurt herself, and used it to help Orha and Alec work together to break the line and go in together.

"Was that so, thanks Orha too...... and!?

It was Orha, who had leaned over to his right hand, but as he flew straight to Ruth's waist for some reason, he slapped down the knife he owed him from Lemias, who was hanging. A knife falling on the floor is driven towards Remias with a can-can noise.

"Ah, you're already a baking knife ~. Yes, yes, I'll collect this, so no more!

The man who picked up the knife that was falling while saying that to Orha was the one who had a barren beard in his invisible, firm hair.

"Wake Up - Good Luck"

"Mr. Remias."

In that room, Ruth and I went out to find Ed, and there was Remias, who had fallen off. He told Alec he was looking for and Olha, who had been left behind, that he had fallen off with Ruth and that he had come back to look for him.

"No, I found this place pretty early because of Orihalcon's ability to track users, and I knew that the body was safe, but my consciousness seemed to be connected to the machine, so I couldn't help it. So I was wondering what to do ~ and you'd come back on your own more and more. Yah! I thought," Ruth, only one of you isn't coming back, so I'm going to hold my head again. "

It was a loose Remias explanation, but somehow I understood the situation. In other words, the discovery of this place seems to be in Orha's hands. I thought I failed to bring it at the time, but maybe Ruth was right to leave Orha at the inn as a result. There's a clever knot in this place for obstruction, and Alec didn't seem to know what to look for.

Those captured by Natasha, other than Ruth, were kept asleep on the bed. He says his consciousness is back in the main body, but he hasn't woken up yet. They had no trauma, and Dorte, who had been held captive for the longest time, Benno, said his body was healthy enough that he didn't think he'd been sleeping the whole time.

They just weren't there from the beginning: Rhodia and Tiana.

They were more likely to be senior spirits with village chiefs and their new sons if Ruth's predictions had been met. Sometimes flesh doesn't exist, and it's unclear what's going on. If the other members are back, they will be equally likely to be back in the real world. I can only hope so.

"I'm glad Ruth finally got a voice."

"Ah! Was that Mr. Remias' voice?

"That's right. I lent you a knife, Ruth, so it's not weird knowing how to perform, is it?

"If it's true, rather than…, please explain the nature that you can't see when you forget it from the beginning!

"Oh, my God! Forget it."

Remias gave me a heartless reply, but I knew it would be useless to say any more to him. Ruth, please, decides to close her mouth with a word of

"Gaw."

"Wow, Alec"

Alec, who couldn't get into the conversation, lifted Ruth, who was sitting on the bed, to his arm when his story with Remius separated him. The next thing I know, according to the side of the sleeping people, I draw a demon square around my chest. Sleeping in bed, they floated on their own as if they had been given the power of the wind and automatically headed for the exit.

(Wow, that's convenient. I'd like to try it too)

Must be wind magic. It's a big difference from Ruth, who can use the Wind attribute but can only help hardly fortify the weapon.

"Are you leaving now? Are you ready?

"Gaw."

Remias with Ed on his back heads to the exit first. Alec also walks out holding Ruth.

"Alec, it's nothing. I can walk, so you can drop me off..."

Alec shook his head at Ruth's voice. He doesn't feel like putting me down.

Now Ruth is a little embarrassed because she is held with one arm like a child. Nevertheless, Alec doesn't feel uncomfortable because he has a bigger body than usual because he is a Layon tribe. If there were no people around him, Ruth placed his hand on Alec's neck very fondly as he lowered his back Orha to his waist.

(...... glad you're holding me)

Go outside. I think Alec's behavior was a natural reason, not because he was overprotective.

Places like the lab where Ruth and the others were sleeping were within the walls of the cliff, the exits were cleverly hidden and there were no scaffolding or anything like that. Even if I had the experience of doing rock climbing, it wouldn't be possible to get down that height.

Alec and Remias, floating in the universe with wind sorcery or something, at the same time pointed their hands at that cave, unleashed the sorcery. The magic of the released wind and fire roars to destroy the cave. Smoke flew out.

"Yes!? Are you breaking it!?

"It's dangerous, isn't it? I'd rather not let that woman do it again."

"No, it is, but what about Mr. Natasha's main body!?

"I'm not here. I'm just hiding it with more hands."

"Guru."

I roared all the time saying Alec was spared.

After the destruction of the cave was confirmed, Alec and Remias returned to Hashi village holding those who would not rise. It wasn't that far from the dungeon, and it didn't take long for Alec and the others to travel at a tremendous speed. Lemias was moving at the same speed, so I knew very well that he wasn't the only one. Ruth thought you were someone who wasn't really good at how you couldn't think from the atmosphere.

Strangely when I got to the village, I saw no different noise than when Ruth went out. While questioning Remias about it, he slips through the sides of the noise of the people enjoying the festival and enters the church. The priest who was inside was surprised by the large number of break-ins, but when Ruth explained the details in pieces, he made a place for them to sleep that still wouldn't wake up.

"There seems to be quite a bit of mental fatigue, it won't happen for a while. Don't force me to wake you up, they better let you rest like this."

He also agreed with Alec and Lemias on such a priest's opinion. For one thing, about their identity and the future, it will be after they wake up.

"Well, I'm seeing these people, so why don't you guys go to the Spirit Festival? The spirit ritual is about to begin, isn't it?

"Eh, but"

"I don't know the details, but it must have been tough, right? Have fun with the distractions."

But then you won't even see the priest.

"You don't have to worry about me.... More than that, Alec wanted to see Ruth and the Spirit Festival until he looked like that, didn't he? Then you have to see it."

We talked about Alec's appearance as a Leion tribe, but the priest seemed to have guessed firmly to his purpose.

As Ruth sent his gaze to Remias, who sat beside Ed's sleeping table, he loosened his mouth nicely.

"Oh, you care? That's great. But I can't help looking at it on the way, and I'll look forward to next year and not this year. And..."

Remias looks back at Ed sleeping behind him.

"Ed, it's unstable to handle magic, isn't it? I'll keep an eye on you."

"Ah, that's right!...... do you know what Ed means?

"Sort of. Yeah, I know your neighbor, too. That's why I've been taking care of Ed for so long."

Really? When Ruth looked up, Alec nodded honestly. They had both noticed from the beginning that Ed was not in normal physical shape. Ruth was helpful because he was moving his head around a variety of events in a row, forgetting even the consideration of telling him about Ed's physique.

(Sure, Alec used to move everyone else, including me, but Mr. Remias carried one Ed all the time...)

Ed seems to have been able to stabilize his power in the other world, but I don't know if that will affect him. Lemias seems confident that he can manage such an outburst of Ed's power. I have no reason to doubt it because I am not sucked and pimped in the first place by magic right now in front of me.

"So I'll keep an eye on this kid so he doesn't run wild. So don't worry, young man, go away."

He nodded firmly as he looked up at Alec, wondering if Ruth was okay.

(Well, Alec says so. Mr. Remias, he's a weird guy, but he gave me a lot of help, and he rescued me. Is it okay if I leave Ed to you?

I'm pretty sure Lemias isn't dangerous because Alec shakes his head vertically. He doesn't seem to be a normal person, and there are priests in the church. I'm not even getting out of the village, so if there's any weird signs, Alec will notice right away.

"Well, excuse me. Father, Mr. Remias, I beg you all."

"Yes, please go"

"Yes ~"

Seeing off by the two of them, Ruth and the others quietly left the church.

The first thing Ruth and the others did before heading to the center was find Beverly, Chester's wife, and the Gorath family who were looking for Iban, and tell them they were in church.

As they rounded their eyes to Ruth's story, they hurried to church. There was some given up color during the day, but the light was shining in their eyes now. I think it's really good to see you all out of that world just by looking at that.

Ruth and the others then headed to the stall.

"Shall we dissolve here once?"

Because Alec is a Leion tribe, there is a risk that if he is poorly together, he will be put under suspicion. Ruth, who did not want to buy another weird rage from the women who had a heart for Alec, suggested that they parted hands.

With plenty of food of choice, the two assemble behind the inn again.

"Where, wow...!

Alec took Ruth to the roof of the inn. Since there are no buildings comparable to the three floors of the Blau family around, no one would notice if they were alone on the roof. The bright side of the altar makes it even brighter.

(Is that a privileged seat?

It is lowered straight down to Alec's knee sitting directly on the roof. Alec's knee was a bit cozy as he was sitting on a stiff couch because of the soft hair hidden under his clothes now.

"Oh, did Alec buy that, too?"

"Gww."

"That sounds delicious, Hanbunko, okay?

"Gaugau."

I didn't understand everything I was talking about because I don't understand the Layolese language, which is the language of the Layon tribe, but it's strange because when I find out they're Alec, I generally understand them with their expressions and their hands.

The way Ruth cheeks the meat deliciously with a big mouth that seems to rub Ruth's head makes him look cute when he thinks Alec is doing it, even though it's a sight that wouldn't be strange to feel scared by nature. When my fingertips turn to clumsy Alec, and I'm giving it away from my hand, I'm also tickled to lick my fingertips.

"Don't lick me so zealously...... don't even look at me"

"Gww."

Eat while you have the food you are wearing or have it divided by the person who finds the unexpected. The communication of intentions was not perfect, but it would be fun if something I didn't know was also game-sensibly accounted for.

Eventually they noticed the altar thriving towards the climax with songs and dancing, and watched as the two of them drank their after-dinner tea.
