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

"……………… L, ………… S. Hey, get up, Ruth!

"What... Mr. Cyrus?

When Ruth woke up with his petite and cheeks slapped, there was Cyrus' face in front of her. The expression on the face of Nobu has no moving eyebrows and the emotions are difficult to read.

"What's wrong, in such a hurry?

"It's supposed to suck, come here anyway!

"Ugh..."

It was still in my sleeping head, but Cyrus grabbed my hand and forced me to wake up. I took a small run down the stairs.

(That, what about your mother?

Celine, who was not in bed, was not even visible on the ground floor. I get anxiety.

(Plus, it's cold...)

Even though the warm season had passed, it was a strangely cold morning. The dawn, when I couldn't even hear the birds cry, gave off an unusual air and I felt like something was crawling around the village.

Ruth is pulled out as he is.

"Mr. Cyrus, I don't know if you can tell me what's wrong............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"I'm saying I suck, you see?

Just looking at the sight of the square, Ruth also instantly figured out what Cyrus was saying.

"Cestiasian priests, get out!

"Father Johan, get out!

'This is a Genetian village!

Those who shouted so loudly surrounded the front of the church with weapons.

The time has only been a few hours since nightfall. Normally, some people must still be asleep.

Yet there are so many people around the church that I think they are all villagers. Dim weather combined, releasing unusual air.

"......... What's happening?

"I don't even know. It's just that when Mr. Celine suddenly got up and went after him because he left the house on his own, this was already happening. All I can say is suck!

"Oh, my mother, too, in this?

"Oh, there he is…………………"

With Cyrus's eyebrows frowned, he pointed at her, bewildered. There's Celine, who I don't think fell down yesterday with such a blue face, joining everyone and saying, 'You don't need Sestiatism!' He shouts. There was anger in his face.

(You're lying. Even my mother...)

I couldn't believe the dialogue I didn't think of as Celine, who eagerly prayed to the four gods of Sestianism every day, than how I didn't think I was feeling sick.

"At first I tried to stop it. But Mr. Celine, on the contrary, nobody seems to be hearing me, and I'm not responding!

"............ What the hell?

As Ruth and the others saw behind the people surrounding the church, one of them eventually threw a stone at the window. When the windows crack, people start flowing there.

"That, aren't you willing to go inside!? The priest and I are still inside. In this exciting situation, if I see you, I'm gonna suck."

To Cyrus' words, Ruth shouted aggressively.

"What are you guys doing! Please don't!

Those who surrounded the church by Ruth's words turned together.

Their spine freezes on their expression.

(What the heck, what's wrong with you, everyone............!?

I didn't see any emotion in their expressions so much that I didn't think they were shouting at the excitement until earlier.

Women who speak up to Ruth brightly, men who always have angry expressions, and children who laugh all prankingly, all stare at Ruth with the look of losing their emotions. Seeing Cyrus on his side, he doesn't look surprised at all.

It looked as if they were all wearing doll faces.

"Ruth......"

Celine came out of the group.

Though her face had her usual gentle smile, the back of her eyes were frozen.

"…… so you are“ yet. ”Poor kid."

So she put her hand on her mouth and raised her sad voice. It looks like a sad look, but only the back of my eye stares at the universe. Expressions and voices The way the contents were not followed by attitudes to it only creeped out on Ruth.

Celine slowly approaches Ruth.

"" Come here. ”Welcome, Ruth. It's okay. I can still make it, you have your salvation..."

Celine's voice was oddly calm. It's not like I was physically and mentally exhausted until yesterday.

"Yes, Ruth."

It was Rossa who left the house yesterday that came out of the crowd to agree with Celine's voice. He also reaches for Ruth with only a smile on his face, eyes that don't know where his perspective is going.

"Come here quickly. That will save you too………………"

That wasn't a “look”. It was a doll that made the shape of a person's laughter.

"Ruth, we're all together."

"Ruth, let's be saved together."

From behind Rossa also comes his brother Clark, who went to his son-in-law, and his wife, Sarah. They both keep their vain eyes, and only their expressions and voices reach out to Ruth for fun.

"Genetianism is everyone's salvation. Accept it, too."

"That's right. We're all the best together. Ruth, come with me."

From behind Celine, Fritz and her sister Maymay, who were together until a few days ago - all of them gathered at the church, if they noticed, hung their inviting voices as they reached for Ruth.

"Ruth."

"Ruth."

"Mr. Ruth."

"Brother Ruth."

Laughing, laughing, laughing - we all look vain and laugh with just our voices.

Reaching for Ruth, he tries to invite her with a lost heart to go with him to a peaceful world.

"Hey, what the heck, these guys!?

"Ah, ah…………………………."

"Ruth, you suck! Ruth?"

Not only my parents, but my brother, my friends, my neighbors - until a while ago, people who lived happily in the village with me - are clearly going crazy. The appearance was the same only on the outside, as Ruth had been forced to change the contents.

The appearance of those close to him collapsing in a distorted fashion gave Ruth even unparalleled despair and fear.

(We should have moved faster...)

Although I felt anxious about the way things were changing gradually, I looked at all the same parts as usual and couldn't move. Somewhere, I was expecting to go back to normal. The result is this.

Instead of reverting back, the village was dominated in just a few days. It was too late.

"Ruth! Hey! We're getting away, Ruth!

"So, but... I can't believe I left everyone like this."

While hesitating, Ruth was surrounded by everyone. A vain gaze pierces me from all directions.

"Come on, Ruth. Listen to the voice of the Genesis God."

"Right, let's be saved with us, Ruth."

My parents grabbed Ruth's hand or arm.

"!"

The power did not touch my son. The strength of putting your nails up and pressing your fingertips against the meat is something that doesn't allow you to escape. With a little more effort, my skin is going to rip and my blood will erupt.

"Dad, Mom, it hurts! Ouch, get off me!

Even to Ruth's genuine pain complaining voice, they didn't change their expression and loosen their arms. Instead, it comes with judicious force. The arm being grabbed by Rossa screamed.

"Hey here! You, you're gonna break your own son's arm! Get off me! Get off me! Hey, don't grab me!

Cyrus jumped to peel Rossa's arm off, but he grabbed her torso and lifted it up easily.

"Wow! b............!

"Mr. Cyrus!?

Cyrus can be slammed against a nearby wall. I fell downstairs with a chill, but I don't see what happened to Ruth, who was surrounded by a lot of people.

"Come on, Ruth."

"Delegate, Ruth."

"Let's be saved."

While doing so, there were many hands grabbing Ruth's arms and body. Their hands are strong as if they were trying to pull Ruth's body off. It's an incredible power from them usually.

"…… no, Orha, not if you get your hands on everyone!

To Ruth's voice of pain, Orha came out of her sheath and floated into the universe. But Ruth can only stop him. It is possible for Orha to use her power to free Ruth, but in that case, the people around her are not just sorry. If I suck, I'll suffer major injuries. I wanted to avoid that on boulders.

(Pick up Mr. Cyrus, we have to run. But leave everyone alone, just one? Am I the only one running away?

Obviously everyone is abnormal. You shouldn't be here. I had to escape - even if I knew that, I couldn't make a decision right away when I wondered what the hell would happen to this village if Ruth ran away.

Is it going to be a village with the "dead villagers" that the merchant of yesterday's journey said? Will they live happily ever after? Is it right for Ruth to escape?

A situation where you can't imagine the outcome blunts Ruth's decision.

(How do I, how do I, how do I -)

It was when my hand grabbing Ruth tried to drill a hole in my skin.

"Uh-oh!

I heard a man screaming for sanity in a square with a creepy atmosphere.

As Ruth turns to his voice in surprise, the people around him also turn their gaze.

"Daniel?"

It was Daniel who went after Rossa yesterday who shouted up. Daniel scratched his sweat, keeping his head down spicy, but shook his arms at those around him, causing him to roll one after the other. And breathe in as much as you want.

"- Four gods, Banzai! Sestias are the best! I'm not converting! I don't give a shit about Geneticalism!

Daniel walks away from Ruth shouting out loud about the evil language of Genetianism.

"Daniel? Ah………………"

The gaze of those around him who had grabbed Ruth was pointed at Daniel, who was running around at some point, and the hand he had grabbed went away.

"Daniel, come here."

"Don't defy the Genesis God, Daniel"

"Daniel, ask God for salvation."

The people who were trying to invite Ruth started chasing Daniel running around. My parents, who had grabbed Ruth until the end, slowly headed that way.

"Ugh! What a bastard of the Creation God, what do you believe! I believe in Sestias!

When Daniel ascended to the roof of his house, he began to curse God of Genesis again there. The villagers are more excited to get Daniel because they denied it more openly than Ruth.

Ruth's surroundings quickly ran out of people.

"- Ruth, run away while you can!

"Oh, Daniel!

It's not a sweet invitation like a dream, it's called a lighted shout of reason. I finally realized that Daniel had turned me away to let Ruth get away.

(Daniel is still safe......!

Ruth rushed to find the ladder, thought he had to head to save Daniel, who had ascended the roof.

"Daniel, wait, now, help!

"You don't have to do anything! Run now!"

"But!"

"Me too, my head sucks. Just keep it critical sane, and soon, you'll be just like these guys!

Daniel's eyes screaming were running blood. The way blood vessels emerge from your forehead, devouring your teeth, and desperately opening your eyelids, you can see them grinding your nerves and resisting from something. He's right. He's mentally critical.

"All the people in the village must be just like me. This is what's happening because of the voices talking in my head. They're scared and they think we just have to stick to the Genesis god dammit! Rossa, your little father was crazy yesterday because of this voice, too! My dad, my mum, my jizzy, everyone!

Daniel looked at Ruth as he continued to provoke those around him. The eyes seemed to put hope on Ruth.

"Ruth, go! I guess you haven't heard a voice!? You're the only one who understands the anomaly in this village. So run, help...... ugh!?

"Daniel!?

One of the villagers ascended to the roof where Daniel was and pulled his leg. Daniel, who was conscious of speaking to Ruth, is dragged down and quickly surrounded by the villagers.

"Ruth, go! Help……………………."

Daniel's voice disappeared into the crowd.

"Huh! Daniel...... thanks"

Ruth hurriedly picks up Cyrus, who was nagging off the ground, and walks into the side alley from the square.

"- Ruth. Let's pray to the Genesis God."

Daniel's voice echoes from behind. The voice was not stuffed with cut feathers earlier, but a sweet sound of losing the same one as my parents. I could tell by the signs that the villagers had changed direction.

(Daniel…………)

I also found out that Daniel was “with" everyone.

Ruth keeps running without turning around to meet the feelings he tried to help.

I climbed straight up the mountain. Seeing the anomaly of the village, the mountain was surrounded by a terrible silence. Animal voices, signs, I don't feel anything. Ruth continues to run at unprecedented speed between the quiet trees.

(You're still following me...)

The number of people was decreasing, but I could still hear the footsteps following Ruth from behind.

The closest I'm getting would be from the guys who are used to the mountains. Ruth's legs are fast, but even they're mountain men, it's never too late. I wonder how they all want Ruth to be with them.

"Ugh!? What, what happened!?

"Mr. Cyrus, you're awake!?

"Ruth, are you safe!?

"Still, it's hard to say you're safe."

Ruth, who was running swinging Cyrus, apparently woke up, letting him go and pointing back at him. Cyrus looks back cleverly as he floats in parallel to Ruth.

"How far are they going to follow the villagers?"

"I don't know. But more than half of them seem to be stopping their legs near the village. Some of them are coming after me."

I can't breathe step-by-step because I kept running along the angular tight slopes.

"Can we keep going to people like this?

"I can't do it to a boulder. Half a day on an early horse even in the nearest village. It should take a day for me to keep running."

Even Ruth, who is physically fit, can't just keep running all day. If I don't pinch my break somewhere, I'll be dead. If we can shake the villagers out in the meantime, we'll figure it out, but there's more than one opponent and Ruth is alone. It must be unfavourable.

"Shit, can't you just go and get help like this?"

"If you go there, you'll make a fuss about it."

They seemed to be chasing “people of different minds than themselves”. He didn't respond to Cyrus in the doll, and that's probably why he tried to drag Ruth and Daniel. I guess the underlying tenderness is "I want them both saved," but if they pull their arms with that look, they should feel scared. If we let people from other villages meet in the current situation, the villagers from Hashi village could get hurt.

Ruth had no choice but to head to the back of the mountain.

"Anyway, once hidden and done. We need to think about the future. - Ugh!

But before he was on his way, the villagers who had been ahead appeared. An older man than Ruth, I guess, could have imagined coming here.

(That's right, these people are hunters...)

Village men who are used to hunting in groups are more experienced than young Ruth and are familiar with how to chase their prey. I'm also much better at making predictions about how runaways move than Ruth.

"!"

I have no choice but to cross the road and then head to a higher place. I stepped that a young Ruth could win better if he was in a physical battle.

- But such a prospect was lightly broken down by skilled hunters.

"Shit!

Ruth kept running as he fled the villagers, a big cliff ahead of him. It was about three times the height of the mountain trees, with a wide river running on its side and a large waterfall beneath it.

"Got hit…………"

Ruth was going to set the course for his escape, and he was being led here. Guidance is fundamental to hunting.

"Ruth, come here………"

Fritz comes out of the bush, speaking out with a disgusting cat stroke. He had a spear in his hand at some point.

As Ruth approached the river, Rossa appeared from the opposite bank. Many other signs can be seen lurking around Ruth.

There is no escape anymore.

(Ku, … what do we do?

Ruth looked down at the waterfall behind him on the side.

If the water is down there at this height, it is likely to help, but the question is whether it can move immediately due to a falling impact. If they were ambushing me, they'd catch me.

"I don't have a choice. Ruth, let's go."

"Oh, Cyrus. - Wow."

Lost at the edge of the cliff, Ruth loses her balance when Cyrus pulls her arm. Ruth instantly kicked the cliff as he saw the spear thrown at its foot and Orha stepped forward.

"Ohhhh..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

As it was, Ruth and the others fell into the cold waterfall.
