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

In the end, all the guests who were coming to the Blau family left. This is the first time in the Blau family, which always had at least two or three sleepovers.

Looking at Celine's back in front of the gallant dining room at sunset, Ruth became scared.

"You're all home...... but you said you'd come back!

"You're right."

Ruth spoke to Celine as brightly as possible. I was anxious that if I let it go like this, Celine would fall. Having fallen ill and fallen asleep, Celine had a grumpy atmosphere that seemed to break even now.

"... Well, yes, Mother. I was just out hunting. I didn't get the big one, but I got about two ocals, so I'm gonna need you to help me dismantle them, okay?

I know that animal demolition is not something I would ask the sick to do, but Celine, who likes to dismantle it, said this would make me feel better. But...

"I'm sorry, Ruth. Hey I'm not in the mood for that right now...... can I ask you to do it alone?

"Huh!?........................ ok"

I replied honestly, but Ruth was heartily stunned. When it comes to demolition, Celine likes to work so much that she tries to do it even if she gets a little sick. Rather, it is always so much so that Rossa desperately persuades him to put him back in bed. And yet it doesn't respond at all.

Celine held her temples and sighed.

"... Mother, do you have a headache? Lie down?

"Yeah, right. It's kind of been a mess in my head the whole time... like someone's whining"

"Are you whining?

"Nothing. But now you don't have to worry about dinner."

"Yeah. Don't worry, me and my dad will eat on their own. If you come here, you'll have to come."

Ruth urges Celine to go to her bedroom as she talks to reassure her. Then I left it on my side with water and a little meal and it came back to the ground floor again.

(Hasn't Dad left yet? …)

If my father Rossa was at home, he must have flown right in and followed Celine. But I don't feel that big sign at the inn right now. Even though Celine hasn't been feeling well since yesterday, I was curious that she hasn't come back yet.

When Ruth placed the oculus icing at the demolition workshop of the Blau family, he cleaned the inn before returning to the dining room.

"It was the emerging religion that changed the village"

The words of regular guests heard in the dining room are repeated in their heads.

After Ruth listened to the village, the other guests told me the same thing.

"I heard, too, that a few small villages in Doddlefoul have gone weird."

'What I have heard is that this is another small village in the mountains in Ziltanian territory. A strange group came and prayed to God of Genesis every day. "

"I saw that group's clothes, too."

The traveling merchant rumors are fast. They say none of this is so old information.

To sum up their story, all the villages where things had changed were in Dordorfar territory or close to it. The village of Hashi is also located northwest of Deodart territory, closest to Dordorfar territory. Many travellers come across the border from Dordorfar.

(…… Genetian)

Because there is no such evidence, I don't think we should swallow all the words that regular customers say. I haven't even heard from Wang Du.

However, considering that the familiar traders of the Blau family had all left the village, I could not be optimistic. No new traveler has arrived as recently as the last two days. That stirs up anxiety.

(............... I don't think it's a good idea to stay like this...)

To the point of listening, I didn't think that Genetialism was just an emerging religious group.

Genetianism spreads from Dordorfar territory around small villages. The village they visit and change.

"As if, then..."

Ruth calls Orha when she finishes washing the cloth towel that was wiping the table.

"Olha, I'm sorry, but I'm begging you, Mother. Let me know as soon as something happens. 'Cause I'm just gonna go out."

Orha flashed like 'Leave it to me' and went upstairs. I guess they'll wait for me in front of my parents' bedroom.

(Hurry up and get out)

The sun will go down soon, but I can't stay. I felt like I shouldn't be holding this heartbeat by myself.

As I tried to get outside, the inn door opened before that.

"Ruth, are you there? You ready now?

"Yeah, yeah."

It was Daniel who opened the door. He says he's been visiting to get Ruth.

Rossa still didn't go home, sometimes Celine was asleep, and Ruth went outside with a rarely used key.

Daniel made his expression look worse when Ruth came out, lurking his voice.

"I hear Colt hasn't been home in two days."

"Huh!? Colt?"

"You didn't come to the square yesterday when we were talking about the village chief, did you? I didn't even come to church today. When I went to the Zelenka house because I was concerned, they told me that Colt hadn't been home in forever. And like searching, the fathers and brothers over there are all going back and forth with the village chief's house, and they're not even worried."

According to Daniel, his younger brothers under Colt have had a fever with noise when their ears hurt for a few days now, and the women are also ill and unable to move. Daniel's relatives, who I heard about, said they went to their help, but it seems subtle if the cause is unknown and they recover.

Daniel seems to have been asked by the Zelenka family to invite Ruth to look for Colt.

"But we're fine too, like Grandpa Iban and Dad, and those two are perfect for the village chief... Damn, what's wrong with everyone?

"My mother is sick too... and my father is not coming home..."

As Ruth frowned, 'I knew it,' he snapped and Daniel scratched his head.

"It seems that's what every house looks like. Fritz bastards are weird too......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Fritz too?

"That guy, even talking about Colt being gone, did it with a word of 'well'. I asked him to search... but he didn't say anything unexplained about" securing food "."

"…… Fritz?

Fritz is a cool type, but if your friend suddenly disappeared, you should be more or less worried. Not so cold type. I'm also concerned that you declined Daniel's invitation to search.

"So, Ruth. Why don't you go to the village chief's house first?

Turning to Daniel, who was thinking the same thing as Ruth, he began to explain that he felt “doubtful”.

"... somehow, I'm worried about that Generalism. Ever since they arrived, there's been something wrong with the village. Besides, the last time you saw Colt was after he followed Marianne to the village chief's house, right? Think it's just right."

"... you sure do. Let's go to the village chief's house first."

It seems that the church is still discussing it, and the door is closed. Ruth and the others decided to head to the village chief's house in the gaps where people were gathering there. It's the village chief's house where the Genetian community is gathered, so if you go when no one is around, you're likely to get some information.

On the way to the village chief's house, Ruth told Daniel what he heard from regular guests. His expression became increasingly cloudy.

"Aren't we sure about this already? It."

"I knew you would think so……."

People are afraid of rumors. Ruth, who had a terrible eye for scattered rumors in his previous life, doesn't like to pepper him. But given what is actually happening in the village, I feel that Genetialism is not just an emerging religion. Instead, I took the concept of religion as a shield, and I thought it might be another organization.

"Tiana said," The black Moya technique. "I was wondering if it had anything to do with this because of timing."

"Seriously......... oh but that story was a while before they came too"

Tiana used to say, "I'm making nasty sharks." I don't know how what she's saying relates to this one, but I'm pretty sure we've all been feeling sleepless since then.

(And now, people keep falling ill in the village... most people who don't are in strange shape)

I didn't think it was relevant.

As they approached the village chief's house, Ruth entered the nearby bush and confirmed that no one was around. Hurry to the front door as you look sideways at the carriage that Baron Bruton came in.

It was Fanny who helped, as usual, who came out ringing the bell.

"Oh, there you are, Ruth, and Daniel. What can I do for you? Your husband's not back yet, is he?

Ruth held her breath for a moment at Fanny's words, but smiled so briskly.

"... No, I'm just looking for someone, and after we left two days ago, didn't Colt come back for another visit? I'm sure he came here with Marianne after Baron Bruton came back..."

"No, he hasn't come to us."

Fanny responded to Ruth's question lightly. I didn't even look like I was thinking.

"Is that so……."

"Are you done with your business?

"Oh, and... Mr. Fanny. How is Marianne's illness? Can I see her?

"Your daughter is still not feeling well. It's not going to heal for a while. I'm sorry, but can I ask you to leave?

"Mr. Fanny. Can we just talk to Marianne for a second, please?"

"- You can't help but feel ill. Excuse me, Mr. Fanny. Sorry to bother you."

Daniel turned a suspicious eye to Ruth, who blocked the words, but shut up when he glanced at me.

As the door tightened and went down the stairs, Daniel pulled his arm.

"Hey, bad for Marianne, but this is such an emergency. Wouldn't it have been better if I'd let you see him for a little while? At least get me Master Tiana."

"That's it, Daniel."

"What?"

Ruth starts talking by pulling Daniel as he is and trying to hide in the bush.

"That's the discomfort I've been feeling since yesterday."

"... what's the meaning of this?

"Mr. Fanny, even when I came, I never gave Marianne's name."

Fannie, who helps, looks a little bit alike at her age. When Ruth visits, it's usual to call Marianne without even asking about the requirements. I don't know how many times Marianne has led me to the village chief.

But Fanny hasn't tried to call Marianne since yesterday, not once, not even looking at Ruth. If it's Fanny's personality, even if Marianne wasn't feeling well, she should talk about 'The Lady's not feeling well' before Ruth asks.

Yet from yesterday onwards, Fanny, for the first time since Ruth's mouth, has been telling me how Marianne is doing. And in an attitude you don't seem to want to talk much about.

"I mean... what's the meaning of this?

"So... that something is already wrong with Mr. Fanny, too.... Is it true that Marianne is sick..."

Daniel was surprised by Ruth's words, but quickly changed his expression to see what he meant.

"... Are you saying it's possible that Mr. Fanny is deliberately lying?

"I'm not saying absolutely, but 'it's not going to heal for a while' is a line you don't want me to see or feel like you don't want me to come, right? I've never been told that before."

When Marianne was sick before and came to see the dance, she said, 'I'm sure she'll be fine tomorrow, so please come back. Please,' said Ruth. Instead, Marianne said, 'Though Ruth, I didn't want to see you with your bossy hair!' So much so that I was angry.

"But, assuming that Mr. Fanny is lying about Marianne, why doesn't he want us to see her? I don't know why.

"Yes, Tiana, it's you. Marianne was able to undo the Black Moya technique that Daniels had on her, right? If Genetialism is associated with the Black Moya technique and Marianne finds out she has the ability to disarm it..."

"Marianne and Tiana are quite disturbing."

Nothing stands in the way, such as someone who can undo what they're doing. It's only natural that if you let them meet young people like Ruth and the others, they might get in the way. Even if they are the only ones who can be suppressed forcefully, it is difficult to make them adulterate when they are four young men. Then I'm lying 'sick' and it's decided I shouldn't let you go away on purpose to see me.

"What do we do? … even though things are not right, I don't think the village chief or Mr. Fanny are harming Marianne anymore"

"I don't think I have that either... let's take a look around the house. I know Marianne's room's location because I'm checking during security. If you were really sick, you'd be sleeping in your room."

"Right... I didn't know security would help that time."

Ruth and Daniel went for Marianne's room while hiding in the trees growing around the village chief's house.

"There's no one here... but there's a tent."

"You wouldn't have let all the Genetians in the village chief's house."

It is difficult to accommodate so many people in the Blau family. I guess there's just Baron Bruton and Bowman in the main house, plus a guy with black full body armor.

Marianne's side of the room, there were no people around.

They approached as they killed the signs just in case, and as Daniel watched, they flew to the window of Marianne's room, where Ruth was a little high and peered inside.

(It's hard to see………)

Although the curtains were open, it was difficult to see inside the room because the sun was falling and dimming. I can't confirm the details because the glass was originally less transparent, but conversely, it doesn't even have a lamp on it. I checked people's movements when I found out about the bed position when I came in before, but I didn't see anything. I can't even feel the signs of people.

"How's it going, Ruth?

"I'm probably not in the room."

"... damn. So you're saying Mr. Fanny won't even speak to you."

"Daniel, someone's coming this way"

Clarifying his ears, he found several footsteps approaching the village chief's house. The two rush to hide in the bush and erase the signs. Those who came to Genetian coats return as if they had anticipated the timing. They passed in front of Ruth and the others without speaking a word and headed back.

"Something is wrong with their expressions………………"

"Yeah."

When I first came to the village, the faithful who were eager to solicit, but now when I passed in front of them, I had dead eyes. You can't even move like a puppet.

"What more do we do than that? Perhaps the village chiefs are back... shall we meet? So if you tell them how bad Genetian is......"

"Will you let me see you in the first place? I feel like Mr. Fanny's gonna make me pay the front door."

"…………… So you're forced to come in?

"No, we just met, and I don't think we can do anything about the village chief in that state this morning."

The village chief's words and actions were clearly strange. He didn't even seem to hear the anger of the priest he was imploring, and he was totally in the shoes of Baron Bruton with his shoulders in Genetianism. I honestly don't think that when Ruth and the others told the mayor of the village in that state about the dangers of Genetialism, it would mean 'then let's get out'.

"Anyway, I think the key is Tiana and Marianne. Those two would know more about the situation in the village right now, including the Black Moya thing. Look for the two of you first."

When Ruth wanted to make a suggestion, a glowing object flew through the trees and fell into his hands.

"Wow, what... orha!?

"Ha!?

It was Olha of Orihalcon who flew into Ruth's hands.
