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

I tried to tell the village chief what Tiana told me, and Ruth and the others rushed to the Blau family - but when I got to the square, I realized there was a different group there.

"This world will eventually collapse! Come, people who seek salvation, abandon the unusable Four God and others, and pray with us to the Genesis God!

Raising his voice so high was a man in a giraffe carriage, unlike Hashi village.

The man's outfit is similar to the coat of law that the priest is coming to, but he uses red and gold, and it doesn't feel good to speak of God to see it. In a nutshell, it looks like some kind of money.

The man proceeds without worrying about the gaze of the amazing villagers around him or anything.

"In the far west, stars have fallen massively from the sky, he said. In neighboring Ziltania, he also heard that a firehand had risen to the Spirit Forest. In the northeastern sky, the ancient capital, once supposed to have disappeared by the Great War, reappears, and the disease spreads successively even in the Wang capital. The collapse of this world is near! We who are powerless can only surrender to God. But the brave men sent by the four gods of Sestias have not yet come to a solution. Four gods can't save the world!

The man is spitting and talking to the people in the square, shaking his fat body plenty and shaking his slightly remaining head. Little eyes have an atmosphere where they don't know where they're looking.

(... hey, now, not all the bad stuff, but all the things Alec and the others did to fix the problem)

The western lands - stars fell near the villages of the Leion tribe because Alec and the others had unsealed the distorted seals. As a result, he said, the phenomenon that was putting out the missing persons had stopped.

Firehands rose to the Spirit Forest because they purified the cursed tree. I heard that the spirits who had been caught by Oki were free and very grateful.

The ancient capital, floating in the northeast sky, is probably a place called the Temple. It seems that something was sealed, but thanks to the appearance of its ancient capital, I hear that the city below is now vibrant with the grace of water.

I hear the spread of the disease is difficult to stop immediately. He said it was a pretty deep-rooted problem. Alec and the others said they were focused on resolving the matter.

Sure, it's all Alec told me. But even if he can't tell us the details, Ruth believes what Alec is saying is true.

I have also heard from Gio, who continues to interact with it, from Maxim, who is in the king's capital, from Kia, who is in Ziltania, from Karen and Yuan in the village of Micana, and from Ed, who is in the kingdom of the Spirit, that thanks to Aleks there are fewer people suffering everywhere. Even that Wonok said, 'The braves move better than expected'. It should never be Ruth's assumption.

(I don't like this...)

Alec runs around the world and solves numerous problems.

Besides, it's a lame story to solve all the anomalies that are happening around the world to Alec, who hasn't traveled a year yet. Even if there was a super ancient ride called Gilmore, it would take time to travel, because the problems that are going on are not something that we can solve if we get a little hands on. If it's easy to solve in the first place, people in that country can do enough about it. Alec should be going because it's a big deal and bothering his mind to solve it.

I don't think a man understands that properly. Yet the man mouths a line that just says, "It's as if it's not helping."

Ruth just looked at the face of the man who kept talking and felt his belly groping.

"Ruth?"

"Uh... Oh, Marianne?

When he pulled his arm and looked back, he noticed Marianne looking up with a troubled look on her face. When he is slapped on the shoulder from the other side and turned around, Daniel puts his hand on his head while saying 'calm down'.

"You looked like you were about to pop up and complain about him. Don't stop dealing with me. This way I see the fool."

"That's right. I know you don't like being told about Alec like that... but you shouldn't worry about someone like that. Because you don't know anything. Don't worry, everyone in the village has complete faith in Alec."

"Oh, yeah... right. I'm sorry. I'm fine. Thank you, both of you."

On second thought, there's no way the villagers who have seen Alec's behavior since they were young believe the words "Alec is not helping”.

Ruth, who was heard by both of them and was able to think that way, felt herself getting cold when it was getting hot. I'm disappointed in that.

(Surprised. I was angrier than I thought...)

Ruth was a little surprised herself. I thought it was calm, and when I heard someone else say something bad, I was suddenly confident that I wouldn't get angry.

But when it comes to Alec, he can't stay calm. I'm sure he's struggling to continue his journey because he listens and knows.

At the same time, I was delighted with the presence of my friends, who kept me calm. If you look closely, Fritz and Colt, who were nearby, also looked sideways at Ruth. I can tell they were worried too. We're all good friends.

"Even so, what the hell are those guys?

"You were saying bad things about the Four Gods, and you're making enemies of Sestias... Emerging Religions? Maybe it's something that's coming."

Around the man in the carriage with the weird crest, there are about ten men and women wearing similar coats and a figure like a keeper in black full-body armor wearing a full-face helmet. The person in the armor has a slightly different atmosphere, but I see if they say, 'It's an emerging religion,' it could certainly be.

They are eager to speak to the people in the square when the man in the carriage finishes talking the whole way. I can't hear what you're talking about, but from the way the villagers are pulling, it won't be much different from what the carriage guy is saying.

The only thing that doesn't work is armored people. I don't know her gender and she seems to be lower than Ruth, but the size of her body suggests that she is a man. I'm sure that person is an escort.

(Speaking of which, I think I've heard somewhere that weird religions become popular when the world finds itself in a precarious situation...)

I think I've seen that in movies, comics and novels. There were also frequent stories of secularism and other beliefs in small villages leading to major incidents.

Ruth and the others turned to the center of the square, paying attention to them if anything strange happened. If we're going to do something weird, we might need to hold them back ourselves. You'd better be ready to move whenever you want.

"Something's wrong with them."

"I don't want to get involved……………."

"I've asked my brothers. I mean, sometimes in Wang Du or something, they take me to the guards."

"... I knew it was this way too."

"I knew it? This way?

"Oh, no, it's nothing."

Unexpectedly Marianne picked up the leaked whine, and Ruth deluded herself in an aggressive manner.

What they say, even if it wasn't about Alec, doesn't seem to make a good impression at all from a village that worships Sestias (the Four Gods).

As if to prove it, it's not just the Daniels, it's even the people in the square. As it is, it's going to be a bit of a rub in time.

"Ah, Father"

When the group was making noise, the village chief came out of the Blau family with a sinister face. This is followed by a large Rossa of the body.

"Without my permission, what are you doing?

"Who is it?

It was not the man in the carriage who answered the village chief's query, but a slightly older man with something like a book on that side.

"I am the village chief of this village. This village believes in Sestias. I don't care what you believe in, but I want you to stop making noise on the surface."

If it's true, say, "Go home! 'I know you're in the mood to yell,' but because he was a man who could tell from his appearance that he was rich, the village chief didn't make that much offensive remark. But I can see it's very frustrating.

(Oh well, the first thing I'm going to complain about is the good thing about the village chief)

It's fine, it's dirty on gold, and I don't think it's a good personality, but it's also the part where Ruth can be a little respectful to go on and stand on the arrow. It seems to be the place with the big Rossa behind her back to intimidate her.

"Ho, are you the village chief of this village? I see. You don't want the square? Then you can go around the village house one by one and bring the word of the Creator to you, right? We don't make a scene, we visit."

"…… That's not what I meant."

The village chief is on the brink as much as he wants. I said there's no way I can forgive you for that. Ruth agrees. Of course the other guy knows what he's talking about.

"Bowman. Yes, don't abuse the village chief. We just want to peacefully deliver the Word of the Creator and increase the number of those who will be saved together."

That's how I spoke to the man in the carriage. When the man had a snoring grin that did not meet his gaze on his greasy face, he stepped out of the carriage a little and turned his gaze to the village chief. Where you don't try to get off the carriage would represent the character of a man.

"Mr. Village Chief, I understand that it is difficult for you to accept people of different minds like us to keep the village at peace. But rejecting us would spread the rumor that this village is a very uncomfortable place to engage in discriminatory acts against people of different ideas... isn't that good for you?

"………………"

Apparently, the man wants to say, 'If we're going to drive ourselves back like this, we're going to spread bad rumors'.

Hashi Village is the main financial resource for income earned from young adventurers and tourists coming to the dungeon. If there are rumors in a big city that 'it's a village that discriminates' or something like that, those people stop coming.

It also struggles to restore trust due to distance problems. Because it may already be too late at the time of the move to retransmit the truth. That's why the village chief has been pointing his nerves at enhancing the image of Hashi village from day to day.

".................. ok. Would you like to talk a little at my house? … the…"

"This is Baron Prospere Le Bruton."

"Master Bruton. Then go to my house."

"Uhm."

Bruton smiles satisfactorily, leaving the carriage following the village chief.

All the villagers in the square dropped it off with such a face.

(You're a forceful person...... but at that rate, I don't think there will be any more believers in the village)

Ruth and the others look very uncomfortable with all the people in the square.

Everyone in the village has listened to the priest's teachings and has believed in Sestias for many years, so there is no way they can convert with such threatening and inviting complaints. On the contrary, if they seem too persistent, they will end up being kicked out of all the villagers.

"Ruth."

As I was dropping off a carriage with a smaller ruth, just as I was around, Rossa, with a feather on her jacket, stopped by.

"Father, to the village chief's house?

"Yeah, I don't think I can do anything about it with my arm at the moment, but I care about that black knight. Mayor (Bartolo) It would be tough if something happened alone. I'm sorry about today but I may not be able to go home. Did you ask for your mother?

"Yeah, I got it."

Upon hearing Ruth's reply, Rossa tried to run and followed the village chiefs. I know Rossa will be treasured at times like this because of her appearance. I'm sure you'll be busy tonight. Other village executives follow suit.

(Well, as long as there's that village chief, I don't think it's possible for someone like that to make a big face in this village.)

The village chief is not the type to forgive a person who looks bigger than himself. I'm sure with that hand, that group will be kicked out of the village even if it doesn't.

"…… I can't tell you Tiana's story anymore."

"Ah, that's right"

I remember talking to Marianne earlier.

I'd say this was a pretty bad time. I would normally have been able to talk to the village chief if I had realized this a little earlier, but I don't even think I can afford to listen to my daughter now.

(Hopefully it won't be troublesome...)

Even though I've gained trust lately, there's no way the village chief would give priority to listening to me in a situation that has caused this tension, even if Ruth asked me to. Absolutely not.

There's no way Ruth, who doesn't even have a spirit, has the technique to solve things. Marianne alone should be tough to decurse around, so I just have to talk to the village chief and call someone from other villages who can decurse him to work out measures. If Ruth and the others talk like that to other villages on their own, they can't even imitate it badly because it can be troublesome. I won't be able to call you more or less.

Speaking of what Ruth and the others can do now, we're going to investigate how many people have had nightmares, ask how they are doing, and work with Marianne to decurse them to the tunnel. We just have to do what we have to do.

"I'm leaving today because I don't have any magic. Ask for the timing and tell your father what you just said."

"Yeah. Call me anytime you need backup."

Thank you, bye.

"Be careful."

"Wait, I'll send Marianne!

Colt goes after Marianne's back as she rushes. It seems like Marianne is still going to rely on him first.

"Weird people just now told the village chief, leaving it to Marianne to tell them, do we gather information about the curse? And then let's give a voice to the priest who said we could curse him."

I don't know if a priest who hadn't noticed the curse on the entire village could do the same thing as Marianne, but he would definitely find a good way with me.

"Is that about all you can do?"

"If I told everyone about the curse on this occasion... it would cause confusion."

We have a curse on ourselves. And it's not easy to solve. How dare you tell Ruth and the others, they'll all panic. All the more so when Marianne tells me she heard the words of the superior spirits. I want you to trust me, but when I do, it could be unstoppable noise.

It should somehow be better to leave it to the most trusted village chief than to the young people, Ruth.

"Let's go."

Ruth and the others then headed first to the church, but the priest was after he went to the village chief's house. On second thought, if there is an emergency in the village, the priest is one of the members who is bound to gather in position. I must be busier than the village chief this time because I'm also involved in Sestiasism.

In the end, Ruth and the others decided to meet again tomorrow to report back, each wanting to see what was going on with the people around them.

We all completely forgot about the gaze Marianne was feeling.
