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

"Ugh...... huh?......... eh, what? Ru, ru, seriously?

Daniel woke up. When Ruth and I gazed at each other, he only got a nasty look for a moment.

"Daniel, you know what I mean, don't you?

"Huh, huh? Real?"

But when Ruth asked the question, he was suddenly upset. It's not as noisy as it sounds, but my cheeks are getting more and more red.

"Duh, what's wrong, Daniel?

Ruth looked a little strange at Daniel.

It doesn't look like a brainwashing state based on how your eyes are holding onto Ruth, but maybe you're having some weird surgery and you don't feel well.

"Wow, oh, chichichichi, chichichichi"

"So, Daniel?" Chichi "? What, what do you mean?

"Uhh, uhh, uhh"

Daniel's language became more and more strange. His breath looks painful and his nose gets rough. Her face became red even to her ears.

(Thought they were hanging the same technique as Fritz... maybe -)

He may have been subjected to "rupture when the brainwashing condition is resolved” or something. Ruth's imagination, poisoned by such previous life's knowledge, passes through the back of his brain.

Ruth turns bright blue and puts his hand on Daniel's face in an attempt to calm him down. But Daniel's “medical condition" is getting worse and worse - finally, he's flowing from nose to blood.

"Hey Daniel!? And, Father, help Daniel. - What?"

Ruth tried to ask the priest for help - but before that, he was pulled from behind his neck and flipped to the spot. When the hand that was touching Daniel moved away and looked up at the ceiling, it was the frizzy face that came into view.

"Stop it, don't make this fool worse than that"

"Worsening? I knew it was just Daniel on some weird technique!?

"You're not, Ruth. Daniel is safe. Just like Fritz, the brainwash is off. That's why it's getting worse. Don't worry.

"Huh? Safe even though it's getting worse, what do you mean?

I hear Marianne, Ruth gets up. She had the same frightened look on her face as Fritz. "You're the same, Daniel," the priest said with a smiling smile on his face. Cyrus was just bitterly laughing "around Funny Ruth".

After all, Ruth was the only one who couldn't understand the situation, and Daniel got up untied without confirmation. As everyone said, Daniel's brainwashing was unraveling.

Things have been going wrong for a while, Daniel, but the atmosphere was tightened up once and for all by Cyrus' words, "If you don't light it up and let's just get on with it, it's seriously going to be irrevocable."

When I told Daniel and Fritz what had been going on since this morning, they nodded as if they were convinced.

"Is that what it was like?"

"You don't remember anything?

"No, it's not like I don't remember anything. I just don't know if you're aware of what you're doing because of your overall blurred memory."

"Blindfolded with a thin cloth, it was moving, maybe something like that"

"Yeah, yeah, like that."

Though they both remember their actions, there was no such thing as thought. You knew it was Ruth, but it felt like your brain was being made to act without understanding. However, it seems that only the strange confidence that 'our actions are right' and the brain's appeal that 'we must believe in the Genesis God' were strong.

I guess the reason I woke up and was surprised was because of it.

"Bad Ruth, you had your sword pointed at you too..."

"No, never mind. Because I knew Daniels and the others were not in normal condition. … more than that, thank you for letting me get away in the square"

If Daniel hadn't let me get away with it, Ruth would have been caught like that and in a lot of trouble. Thanks to Alec's technique, Ruth will not be left brainwashed. But on the contrary, it was problematic, and the excessive “gentleness” of the villagers was likely to make them look terrible. I really appreciated it.

"Oh, that's... not you, but you were the only one who looked normal, so hey, that doesn't mean anything weird at all."

"Yeah, thanks anyway"

If Ruth thinks so and laughs, Daniel's face turns red again.

Suddenly Cyrus came in with Daniel when he was suspicious of starting a tingly strange movement. Cyrus, forced to sit between Ruth and Daniel, coughs enormously.

"Hey, what's up, old man?"

"What's wrong? Mr. Cyrus."

"No… I'm worried about a lot of things. Don't worry, it's like kindness."

"Kindness?"

"From now on, though."

It was obviously Cyrus who distracted himself from the conversation, but since we started talking about the future, Ruth also had to shut up a lot.

"I need you to mix it up."

"Colt"

When I started talking, Colt, who had been lying down until earlier, also woke up in everyone's voice. Marianne rushes to sit next to him by the side, supporting the still slightly fluttering colt.

(Good. Colt looks ok too)

From Marianne, the lighted but beverage-receiving colt seemed to be getting back on track.

Seeing Colt take a sip, Cyrus tells four people, including Marianne, about the current situation.

"Is that what happened……"

"This is a lot worse than it was…………"

"Are you serious?"

"Father...... no"

Everyone was stunned to hear about the situation in Hashi village. Like Ruth, I guess I didn't expect the anomaly I'd been feeling for a few days to happen.

As for the suspicious Cyrus, which I dubbed a "accidental stopover" because of it, no one gave a scratch. Neither does Daniel hear about Orha or the doll (Cyrus) that was floating. It's not the other way around, or you must have forgotten.

"It is likely that the brainwashing state will intensify over time. Dear Tiana, isn't the black Moya technique still hanging many times?

'... yeah. Tiana just knows, but she's been chanting twice in the morning. "

When Tiana is gazed at by Cyrus, she pulls on Marianne and speaks in a small voice. He was acting like he was having a conversation with a scared adult. But Cyrus doesn't seem to care much either. Maybe he's used to being scared because of his big body.

"Are you saying the technique is still enhanced?"

"When it comes to manipulating a lot of human consciousness, I don't think it ends in one go. He seemed to have been spreading his skills before he came to the village. It must be the original technique of overlapping assumptions. So if we don't do anything like this, this village should be irrevocable."

Everyone looks worse and worse at Cyrus' words.

"Hey. You're still early to get depressed. On the contrary, it means that the technique is not perfect yet. I mean, it's possible to open everyone up right now. If we stay, the village will be restored."

"But maybe we can do it alone………………"

"I can. I can solve the brainwashing technique, Marianne, the spiritual Tiana who specializes in defense, the priest who can recover and assist, Daniel and Fritz, the armed young men who were in the enemy line once, and the manly colt, the quick and driven Ruth, and me. I'll take care of hitting enemies. If you go from the front, you lose in numbers, but most people are in a state of weak will. There would be no fine control either. If you work out the operation properly, you can win. We can do it."

Cyrus looked strong and ran out of words. I could see hope in his words in the expression of everyone who was depressed.

(That's good...... Cyrus.)

In this desperate situation, Cyrus lightly made everyone feel positive. Of course there would be his atmosphere, which seemed strong from the looks of it, and the way he spoke confidently, but I felt very used to these situations in the first place.

(When I first met him, he said “battlefield” or something... I thought there was a war somewhere and he was the one who was there?

When it was all over, Ruth wanted to ask a lot of questions.

Cyrus tells us that many of the faithful that Genetianism has brought are puppets made of magic, not human beings. I did not hesitate to attack them and told them I wanted them to take them down if possible.

Everyone was surprised to hear that the faithful were dolls, but Marianne seemed to share the same opinion.

"Those who have carried meals to us, you mean there is no sign of people...... right, Dear Tiana?

"Yeah. Those guys aren't like the Marias. I don't think that black guy is too common either."

"Black armor?

Speaking of black armor, it would be the knight in black who was beside Baron Bruton and Bowman. Speaking of which, I haven't seen that guy talking. If Tiana says so, he's not normal either, which means he must be a doll.

"In that case, only the villagers are the most troublesome."

You might want to unbrainwash them as originally planned, or gather them somewhere else before you board the destination. Then we can fight as hard as we can without hesitation.

"Baron Bruton will not leave Bartolo's side. I'm sure he's a hostage. But other villagers tend to let them go free. Bartolo returned with the Barons of Bruton the other day, even when discussions were held within the church, but the others were dissolved on the spot."

"So it's impossible to gather all but the village chief."

"Well, why don't you deliberately make a Sestious appeal in front of everyone, like Daniel did when you helped me. Then we'll all get together, won't we?

"Speaking of which, you were doing great instead of fucking doing it. That"

A large number of villagers were still gathered in the square this morning to catch the priest. And when Ruth found out he was a foreign molecule, he turned to the spearhead of solicitation at the same time.

Their aim is to increase the number of companions who worship the Creation God. Being saved together. For that reason, the villagers are united, and we already know they're coming. If you make a strong appeal that you're not one of them, it shouldn't be that hard to collect.

"… Then, Father, how was it when you saw the treatment of Marianne and the others earlier, do you think you could assist?

"From what I've seen of the earlier surgery, I thought it was something I could help - Dear Tiana, could you allow me to intervene in the collaboration of the surgery with Marianne?

Father speaks to Tiana riding Marianne's lap.

She shows up longer than before, so maybe Marianne's magic has really been bottomed up in this short time. But when it comes to all the villagers, it will be difficult.

But if the priest is going to help us, we're not talking about it. He is such a figure that a village chief with a guardian spirit was always counting on him. I'm sure it would be magical beyond compare to Ruth or anything else.

"Is Johann with you?

"Marianne doesn't have enough power to wake up people all over the village at once because she still has little magic power. That's where I'll assist her with her magic powers. I mean, I want you to use my magic powers to wake the villagers together. Otherwise, there will be a dispute and something extra will happen."

Even if you solve half of the brainwashing conditions, half of them will likely hit the people they woke up with while they were still there. Then the same thing happens when Ruth is attacked. Many people at a time if you want to wake them up - I want to wake them all up if I can.

'Yeah, Johan would be fine. Tetsu. "

"Thank you very much. … so, Mr. Cyrus, it is possible to assist."

"Actually the problem, how many people is possible at once?

"If we do everything we can, the number of people in this village will manage to do it."

"Oh, wow."

"But in that case, it takes a lot of time to cast a spell and structure the surgery, and you become defenseless to focus your consciousness"

"Dear Tiana and Marianne, it seemed difficult to get too far. In that case, we need an escort..."

"Then how about this?

The priest has made thoughtful suggestions. However, it should be smooth to defeat the operator and unbrainwash the villagers. We don't get in each other's way.

Ultimately, the operation was decided against the current village information that Daniels and the others remember.

(Probably only once chance)

If we fail, someone gets caught and the balance breaks. The layering of the brainwashing technique is also likely to be completed not too far away. When that happens, I won't be able to take it back.

"We're moving now...... and I just want to say, everyone should be moving in the morning now and their health should be the limit. You'd better take a break."

"Shouldn't we act in the middle of the night?

"Dark nights are good for infiltrating, but not for slapping enemies who don't know where they are. Besides the purpose of gathering all the villagers together to solve the brainwashing, it would be better to move during the day when you can visually confirm your appearance. If I miss it, it'll be a pain in the ass. Instead, this operation needs to stand out."

"That's what this is about."

That day Ruth and the others decided to leave Orha to watch and go to bed.

Except for Cyrus, I was surprised that Orha was floating in the universe, but when I said, "This is what Alec gave me," he convinced me lightly.
