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

"Hey, is anybody out there!? Please, treat Colt! Please!

"Marianne!?

It was Marianne's desperate voice that came through the door.

As Ruth and the others imagined, they were trapped here.

"That voice is Ruth!? Hey, please, I'll believe you in Genetianism or whatever, so treat him for a colt!

"Marianne, wait a minute."

When he found the key to the warehouse where the faithful had fallen, Ruth went up the stairs and opened the door.

Slowly opening the door and glancing inside, Marianne stood staring at this one, revealing her vigilance. I have farm tools in my hand, and I still have an atmosphere where I think I'm going to get beaten up.

"You don't have to be abusive to imitate me. I believe in Genetialism. Make Colt believe it too. So, please, treat me, not like this, Colt!

"Marianne, calm down, calm down, because it's okay. I wouldn't say that."

"Please talk to me... say, don't you?

Marianne loosens her guard to Ruth's words. The expression was full of surprises, but I could see a slight relief.

Ruth gives Marianne a serious look to reassure her and speaks slowly.

"There's no way I believe in Alec, 'Believe in Genetianism', is there? It's okay, I'll stay the same."

To Ruth's words, Marianne's expression collapses at once. Shizukuishi flooded out of her big eyes, and she poured and fell zero.

"Oh, Ruth!

"Wow..."

Ruth rushed to take Marianne, who jumped at the impetus.

"Good, Ruth is as usual! Your father has changed…… everyone has gone crazy…… me, me……………."

Ruth was wolfed by the situation that Marianne was on her chest, but she gently stroked her back to calm her down when she noticed she was crying.

(Seems upset, but Marianne doesn't seem to be hurt...)

Although the hair is disturbed and weary, there is no appearance of severe disturbance or injury to the garment. Either way, I'm fine. I was locked up in this place for a few days, so it wasn't weird if something happened, but I guess I was getting a decent meal or something. Ruth sighed deeply as he was safe.

"The village chief and everyone were forced to change it. It's okay, I'll go back to normal."

"Ho, really? Father, you have a bad mouth, but you're really so sweet. Always thinking about everyone... I can't believe I'm not asking anybody's opinion like that."

"Yeah, I know. It's okay."

'It's all right,' he repeated over and over to Marianne, who looked still excited.

Ruth thinks of the village chief as a belly-black, uncomfortable tanuki, but we know he always thinks of the village. The only reason I'm stuck with the money is because I'm doing it to keep the dungeons in a small village and live in peace. I can see from the qualitative construction of the village chief's house that he is not putting into his own pocket. I'm good at collecting money, I'm just a hobby.

Settled by Ruth's words, Marianne slowly began to breathe. Look at that and ask for the words you were saying earlier.

"More than that, Marianne, Colt's injured."

"Ah, that's right! Come here!

Marianne pulls me and Ruth and the others head back. At the end of the warehouse, on the light side of the lamp, was a colt lying wrapped in a spare blanket.

"Colt, are you okay!? Colt!?"

"Ah... Lou, S, is it?

He looks up at Ruth with his cheeks and eyelids heavily swollen face. His breath was constant and his consciousness was in danger, but only his eyes showed a clear will.

"Mari, to Anne, Ran, Boo, Mana,... Ooho"

To the coughed colt, Marianne rushed over, wiping her tears, gently stroking her shoulders.

"Colt, it's okay! Ruth is always right! Don't worry, I'll get you treated right away, okay?

"Well... I'm glad."

"Yeah. Good. Thank you so much, Colt."

Ruth realizes that she felt a softer atmosphere than usual for the two laughers, but that she couldn't be too slow as far as Colt's injuries were concerned. I have a lot to ask, but I'll see you later.

"Colt, can you get on my back?

"……… Ah."

I said something. That's what I did. It was Colt, but I reached out to Ruth, who crouched so hard because of the injury. I manage to stick to Ruth's back while Marianne helps me.

"Ruth, can anyone treat Colt's injury?

"The priest is safe, he's waiting for me a little further away, so if you join him..."

"- Is the watch inside?

In a warehouse that was quiet, suddenly a man's voice sounded.

Looking nervous about Colt and Marianne, Ruth slowly headed to the entrance for the three of us, gesturing not to speak out. Peek into the entrance while hiding in the shadow of the shelf.

(It's bad Daniel and Fritz...)

At the stairs near the entrance to the warehouse, Daniel and Fritz were seen with their weapons in place. He came here looking around or something and realized there was no gatekeeper.

"Ruth, aren't those two okay?

"... I'm sorry about those two, but no"

They look normal at first glance, but they were already brainwashed when they broke up with Ruth, so you shouldn't think they were back to normal.

(Once you put the colt down, take those two down...... can you do it in this situation?

I don't expect to fight and lose unilaterally. Ruth is faster, and it's easier to move than two people with long scores if you're in the warehouse.

But Ruth doesn't want him to get hurt badly, whereas there's no hesitation over there. Given the state of Colt's injuries, there is a verse where he wonders whether his tag is off in a brainwashed state or to the extent of 'I hope he doesn't die'. I don't think the two of you will see Ruth and attack him with less power. Overwhelmingly disadvantaged.

(Oh, speaking of which, Mr. Cyrus... there's no reason)

Cyrus, who should have been on the side until he entered the warehouse, for some reason cannot be seen as much as he did earlier. I looked around with my gaze, but there was no big man of my body.

"Marianne, look at Colt -"

As Ruth tried to speak to Marianne, Daniels and the others stepped into the warehouse. The light of their lamp reaches the side.

(Not good, once in the back………)

It was the moment Ruth tried to back off - the door the Daniels opened sounded suddenly closing behind them.

"- Nah, what, nah, nah!

"Buh, oh..."

At the same time as the two surprise voices, tension runs inside the warehouse as the lamp they had swayed loudly. After a while I heard two minutes of falling.

Pita pita - and the noise of someone walking through a quiet warehouse with a lamp. From the footsteps, it's not the Daniels. The footsteps come straight to those where Ruth and the others are.

"Ruth, you should go in the back."

"- Hey, you okay?

Not knowing who was approaching, Ruth and the others tried to escape to the back, but stopped to listen to the sounding voice.

"……… Marianne, wait a minute."

Drawing Marianne's hand, Ruth waited for the light of the approaching lamp. A large shadow stretches from the back of the shelf.

"Oh, you're here"

"…… I knew it. Mr. Cyrus."

It was Cyrus, who wasn't supposed to be here until just now, who let him peek into his face from behind the shelves. Soon he changed his clothes, and he even wears his pants.

When Ruth asked what he was doing, he scratched his head with a bitter laugh.

"No, it was a little hard to get close to you guys. I was away. I thought Marianne and the others would be confused if I didn't show my face."

Cyrus says what was disappearing was an act of care. Then he went to the other side of the house, found clothes and fished on his own. As always, Ruth is stifled by the slightly my-paced Cyrus.

"Well, thanks to you for your help…………………"

Thanks to Cyrus acting differently, it was hard to complain because of Daniels' surprise.

"Hey Ruth...... who's that guy? You're not from the village, are you?

Marianne looks at Cyrus and realizes she's making her expression strong. I guess it's only natural that the two of them are new to each other in this way.

"I'll tell you more later. But don't worry, Mr. Cyrus is on your side."

"Ooh,“ nice to meet you, "Marianne. I... am Cyrus."

Nikkoli and a nostalgic smile, Cyrus reaches out her big hand toward Marianne as she gives herself up a little.

(Mr. Cyrus, you're going to deal with this in person for the first time... well, will you teach Marianne after it's all over? Sorry, Marianne)

Cyrus is face-to-face with Marianne in the figure of a flor doll, but she decides she didn't. You're making fun of Marianne for a lot of things, but that's not good.

But even as Ruth, I didn't feel like talking about scaring you. Bringing extra vigilance to Marianne makes it more difficult. In keeping with Cyrus for a while, I decided to keep my mouth shut.

"Uh... uh, nice to meet you... I'm Marianne"

Marianne blushed a little when she saw Cyrus' face, although she was also surprised at first. Reach out and shake hands with the snack.

(Marianne…………… Mr. Cyrus is a sinister man.)

Looking at Marianne's expression, Colt looked pathetic, but Ruth closed her eyes softly. Cyrus is a pretty good guy of the type who is not in the village. Besides, it's not just cool, it's adult tannin, so a young kid like Marianne can't help blushing her cheeks.

"Ma, Marian, nu... ho ho"

"Ko, Colt!? Are you okay?"

"Oops, bad. There was an injured man. Ruth, can you get us to the cave?

"Yeah, no problem... Mr. Cyrus?

When Cyrus left Ruth with the colt, he lifted Daniel and Fritz, who were falling on the floor, to both sides.

They're both taller men than Ruth, but they don't have that vibe in how Cyrus lifts them. Ruth looked like she was holding firewood.

"What are you going to do with those two?

"Think you're just right for the practice bench, I'm gonna take you back to the cave"

"Practice bench?

"Marianne's technique works properly, or you should try it. If not, you can keep the two of you tied up."

"Oh, I see."

It is true that the procedure will work in this condition as well, and confirmation will be necessary. And if the two brainwashers return to normal with Marianne's surgery, they will have more allies. We'd better have some company now.

When Ruth and the others were ready, they closed the warehouse firmly and left the place behind.
