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

Coming near Marianne's home, or the village chief's house, I saw Daniel, the butcher's son, leaning against the wall.

He apparently noticed Marianne as soon as he was walking ahead, waking up physically and approaching her.

"It's not Daniel."

"Marianne, it's really late to come home......!

Daniel complains as Marianne approaches. Could it have been a meeting?

Ruth also approached his side as he heard the two voices.

"What are you so angry about?

"Because of your absence, I will always wait for my feathers..."

"What's wrong, Daniel, so angry?

"What, Ruth!?

Daniel looks surprised, apparently realizing Ruth's presence. When he accidentally closed his mouth, which was wide open, he began to say, 'Beh, you're not mad at me,' Mogomogo. Whatever you think, you were angry, what are you talking about?

"... Shit. Marianne, you, why are you with Ruth?

"Hey, stop saying“ hey "or“ you ”. I'm not going to get along so well with Daniel."

"Either way, you're a pussy………"

Daniel's face is frustrating but convulsive, while Marianne doesn't pull a step against a bigger opponent for more than one head minute. Daniel has a bad mouth, but he's not the type to raise his hand against a girl, so he's more of a pushy.

"............... Mr. Marianne, why did you come with Ruth?

"I'm sorry, Daniel. I feel really bad right now."

"That's an odd encounter. I thought the same thing, Marianne."

They continue to laugh thinly across Ruth.

(Speaking of which, Alec had a lot of fights with Daniel, but Marianne wasn't very close either...)

It's a little different now than it used to be. Until now, they didn't deal with each other. Now it also looks like the wind Marianne is actively teasing Daniel. When did we get along so far?

(Has everyone gotten along gradually? Glad to hear it. I'm sure Daniel will help make the village better when Marianne becomes village chief)

As Ruth looks at the two of them in silence, dusting into his unsolicited imagination, he meets Daniel, who has turned his gaze softly. When Ruth tilted her neck and laughed just a little on her face, she instantly turned away.

It's Daniel's usual tundra behavior. In the early days of getting along, Ruth decides to wait until he tells me because he doesn't know the reason for that attitude and he's dented, but now he knows it's an act like him that he can't honestly say.

Marianne suddenly grabbed Ruth's arm as she watched the two of them.

"What, Marianne? What's wrong?

Ruth was surprised by Marianne's unexpected behavior, but Daniel was more surprised.

"Hey, man! Hey, what are you doing!

"Hey, you want to know? Where was I going?

"I don't know how to say it. I don't care where you go. Stop grabbing Ruth's arm."

- I fell asleep in the room with Ruth yesterday.

"- Huh!?

Daniel shouted loud enough to turn around. He opens his eyes wide and immediately puts a wrinkle on the head of his nose.

"Hey, don't be a weird liar!

"I'm not lying. Hey, Ruth." You slept in the same room, us. ""

Marianne apparently wants to talk to Daniel about it in this way.

Her words aren't lies, but they're going to create a lot of misunderstandings.

"... Well, yeah, you slept. Sure, but the way I put it..."

"- Ahhh!? Hey, Ruth, are you serious!?

"Oh, hey, Daniel?

Daniel, who blued his face for some reason and even lowered his eyebrows, blocks the conversation and grabs Ruth's shoulders and rocks them. Thanks to the correction, I was distracted.

Daniel's face was like seeing the end of the world. You can't hide the upset, you're shaken hard, and the hand Marianne was grabbing Ruth in recoil also leaves.

"You, no way!? Who is that bastard? What happened to Alec!? Because I'm that bastard...... what, you want a woman after all!?

"Eh?"

Daniel's blue complexion, the power to grab his shoulders, and the word 'Alec' that came out of his mouth, made him feel that Ruth, who is said to be dull, was not good at this either.

To Marianne's subtle grin, I thought I would soon realize it was a joke, but for some reason Daniel seemed to have really taken it.

"Wait, Daniel. Because it's a misunderstanding, because it's a misunderstanding. Because there's absolutely nothing like what you're thinking! Because it's a misunderstanding!! Again, misunderstanding!

Ruth clearly denied it strongly. But how he interpreted it, Daniel blues his face more and more.

"How desperate is that...... no way!? You, keep a secret from that bastard!?

"Secrets!? Why would that happen? Daniel, calm down."

"Ooh, I'm calm, I am. Hihi, that's a secret. Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well.

"- Marianne, correct me already. Daniel is totally mistaken!

Daniel tried to say something, but I didn't think I could solve the misunderstanding on my own. Ruth hurried to speak to Marianne.

"Hmm."

"Marianne!"

But it seems Marianne has absolutely no intention of telling Daniel the truth. At first I thought it was mean to Daniel, but is there anything angry about Ruth as well?

(Girls are cute but hard!

Alec is a few times easier to understand and more helpful to Ruth.

I had no choice but to stop expecting Marianne, and when Daniel shook off the arm that was grabbing me, I grabbed my hand the other way around. Look firmly into your eyes as if to calm down.

"Daniel, listen carefully!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Daniel, who suddenly raised an odd voice, changed his complexion from blue to red this time, but apparently he's going to listen to me, so I'll keep going.

"Me and Marianne did sleep in the same room, but it was the“ living room, "“ with my father and mother, "and Marianne was on the" couch, "and I was on the“ floor. "Because there's nothing nasty about it! Don't get me wrong! Marianne is a friend! Ready?"

If Alec told me this, it might not be about time or space distortion. Ruth was desperate.

"Nothing, didn't you?

"Yes. There was nothing! Believe me!... If Daniel can't believe my words, you can ask my fathers."

"Yes, no. I believe you. It's your word!

When Ruth explained properly, Daniel's face remained red, but he finally regained his composure. And look at Marianne abominably.

"You lying bitch..."

"I'm not lying to you. You didn't just take it personally. … and what's“ best friend ”? I knew it wasn't a no, is it okay for Alec to come home in that state?

"Ko, this………………"

"What happened to your" best friend "as you complained to me now, looking happy?

"Ha, ha!? Ugh, happy, something."

Ruth, stunned by how it might still go on, decided to take a last resort.

"Both of you, I need you to finish this... huh? Please."

When Ruth raised her troubled voice as she tilted her neck, they both finally shut up. And he looks a little sorry.

This is the hand I sometimes use on Alec, but I wonder how Ruth looks with a pitiful look on his face, it seems to have gotten through to both of us. It helps because Alec mostly calms down when I do this.

Ruth said inside: 'Okay!' I thought, letting go of Daniel's hand and calling out to Marianne.

"Marianne. You're not arguing here, look, you're going to check the room, right?

"You did, Ruth. Let's go."

As Marianne tried to pull Ruth again, Daniel came forward.

"Wait, wait, I have some business for you, too."

"So what's your business?

"The village chief... your father told me to escort you around my daughter."

"What, father?

From what I hear about Daniel, it seems that he was in front of the village chief's house because he had a request from Marianne's father, or Bartolo village chief.

The village chief seems to have taken Marianne's gaze properly and asked her to keep an eye on her daughter for a few days. He was absent at night yesterday because he was visiting some of the village houses to tell the story. They're going to pay for it.

By the way, the helper Fanny said 'the village chief isn't coming home today', but in fact the village chief seems to have come home properly in the way he said 'it may be difficult to get back before he crosses the date'. Fanny's early days are the same.

(I thought I was done laughing with my nose, but I'm properly worried about my daughter and doing the father, village chief...)

I completely misunderstood Ruth because of his arrogant attitude towards her. I will have to reflect.

Upon entering the house, there were also large rooms often used for operational meetings, such as the Colt of the Zelenka family, which houses dungeon guidance, and the Fritz of the Omer family, which grows crops on high ground. Basically, they say this member will provide an escort for Marianne. Daniel didn't seem to hear Marianne was going to the Blau family.

The village chief sitting in the chair opened his mouth to Marianne, who came in, not to hide his displeasure.

"Totally, take the liberty of taking care of the Blau family overnight..."

"'Cause I heard you didn't have a father... I was scared"

"That's why it's not what my pre-dowry daughter would do, such as go to a house with a young man... well, if it's the Blau family with only Ruth who's young, there's nothing to worry about, but if it's another house, it's a big deal. You should at least make it your girlfriend's house."

"……… Yes"

Ruth felt a little complicated for some reason, even though he should be trusted by the village chief. As for the customer's man, he doesn't seem to be afraid from the beginning, thanks to his strong trust in his parents.

"Let this member look around today. You think about placement and shifting time. You can call the three of them in the middle of the night. Consider the strength of the three of you and decide."

"What, I think?

"If you're going to partition villages sooner or later, there's no harm in learning these things first... let me know if you decide"

"Yes."

When the village chief said so, he left the room with a grumpy face. Was it worse in my dreams because the frown wrinkles were thicker than usual?

(The village chief is also thinking a lot...)

Ruth got a little impressed.

Apparently he's going to make this one his first practice platform to not only remove Marianne's anxiety, but also, at the same time, to be able to handle people well when she sooner or later becomes village chief. You don't just seem to be worried about your daughter. It would feel like boulder around there.

"Look, I'll decide what to do, Marianne"

"Marianne, leave it to me! I'm gonna protect you."

"Then Colt will decide in the middle of the night. I want to go to bed early today. I didn't wake up well..."

Pushing Colt through the most annoying hours while Fritz looks in a bad mood. Colt wasn't listening, he just appealed to Marianne here. Daniel also claims to himself, 'I didn't sleep yesterday either, so I pass at night'.

(Ma, do you think you can handle it?

I can't say that all three of them are gentlemen in flattery, but I know they have good roots, so I guess it's okay to leave them to them later. Marianne's used to it, too. They should be relieved.

Ruth turned her legs to the door, trying to get some free time.

"Marianne, I'm going home because of the inn."

"No! Don't go home yet, Ruth!

Such Marianne runs over and clings to Ruth's arm. When I was surprised by the sudden action, I was called out.

"I want you to check the inside of the room before you leave. It would be nice to have them guard outside, but it would be a bit..."

Ruth is fine, but he doesn't like letting the three of them in the room. No matter how accustomed the members are, they won't want three men their age in their room. A girl would react naturally. At this time, Ruth was treated differently because she didn't realize it.

"Ruth…… you………………"

Ruth took her arms off softly, as Marianne's strong trust was delighted - but Colt, who liked her, was trembling.

(Colt, come on......)

I prayed that Colt would get out of the "those three” frame in this case.
