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

Connect your hands to make it look like Ed and his brothers and head to the station's home.I'm sure if we wait here, we'll have one of our buddies, Kia.

"Ruth, you're early today."

After waiting at home for a while, Kia in uniform came up to the house.I felt uncomfortable with Kia's hair and skin colour when wearing clothes from other worlds, but it is strange that they suit me quite well.

When Ruth discovered that Kia had arrived, he called him to an unpopular place to talk about the world.I was hoping Kia would convince me right away.

"This is a different world? You want to go in the ark?Ruth, what are you talking about...? "

"No, so, Kia, you remember?You went into the ark together to help Alec.And don't you remember feeling uncomfortable? This world must be completely different from the world Kia was born into and raised in. "

"... Ruth, I don't know what you're talking about.What's really going on? "

Ruth was stunned when he leaned his neck with a serious face.

Kia didn't feel at all uncomfortable with the world.Just like Ruth and the others, you get a little memory back and you see something weird - nothing.

"Kia, remember! No matter how sharp you are and how confusing you are in these places, this world is unusual from our eyes!Don't you understand!? "

Ed, who had been silent for a long time, came into the conversation as if he had a sense of frustration with Ruth and Kia.

However, Kia frowned slightly at the words.

"Ruth, what is it?Why are you mad at me for being abandoned by a kid you don't know?What? Why? Did I do something wrong? "

Beginning to get confused with Ed's words, Kia starts to distance herself from Ruth and the others step by step.

"... I'm in a hurry today... see you later, Ruth"

"Ah, Kia! Wait!"

When Kia turned her back on Ruth and the others, she jumped on the train that came.The late Ruth couldn't catch the train and would drop him off.

"I felt...!"

"... I'm sorry, Ruth. I just said it..."

"It's not Ed's fault.Kia didn't understand what I was saying. "

Even if she kept talking, Kia must have jumped on the train.

"Um, I thought.I was the first to remember, and then Ruth, and this is probably as much about magic as it was about then. "

Ed says, the more magic there is, the more influenced it is by the dominance of this world.

It was Ed with zero magic that kept Natasha's repeated memories, followed by Luce with less magic and a small release hole.Everyone else was perfectly adapted to that view of the world, so Ed was not mistaken.

"Maybe everyone won't remember...?"

"It may not be zero, either... but you won't know unless you try."

"! That's right... thank you"

Ruth, who imagined the worst before he did, thanks Ed for his positive words.I almost stopped thinking dangerously in a world of imagination.

I recognised that Ed, who immediately came forward with positive words, became stronger.

"Don't say that now.... in that case, I'm not good at handling it, but Kia, who has a lot of magic among us, is likely not to be able to remember it even if she does it normally... maybe she needs to devise another solution. "

"That's right... based on the amount of magic, it's likely that Yuan or Maxim is aware of something unusual.Why don't you leave Kia alone and look for the two of you? "

Shall I?

Luckily, both Yuan and Maxim have met Ruth.I don't know where Maxim's company is, so I don't know where he is at this time, but Yuan, who is set up as a graduate student, should be at Juchugaku University.

"Well, let's hurry to college... it's still early, but maybe..."

As Ruth said so, he raised his face to look at the clock and noticed that there was a “young man” on the other side of the home that he had been seeing for the past few days.

"... if you're all out of here, wake up and come with me.I'll show you the way out. "

Ruth unexpectedly remembered what he said and ran out of the way.

"Ah, Ruth!"

I heard Ed shouting, but Ruth couldn't afford to lose sight of the young man, so he kept running.

(He knows something!)

It was creepy for Ruth before he got his memory back, but now I know he's important.

He knows the circumstances in which Ruth and the others are placed.Just like Ruth and the others, there is a strange existence in this world.

Running up to the home on the other side, there was a young man sitting in the same seat as usual.When Ruth came to the side, he moved his neck slightly without raising his face.

"... what are you?"

It's obvious he's not one of us.Ruth doesn't know this young man.

And yet, this young man is deliberately approaching Ruth.I wonder why Ruth is not a stranger to young people.

Ruth!

I heard Ed running up the stairs from behind.

"... I told you before."

Huh?

"If you want everyone out, wake them up and come here.I can only show you once. "

"Wait a minute, let's answer that--"

--Foeon

The train enters the home and the siren sounds.Ruth did not look at the vehicle to avoid losing sight of the young man. But he...

"It's gone....."

The young man disappeared in front of Ruth.The shadow of the incoming train disappeared just moments before the light struck the home

I got it.

"... I lost it too..."

Ed.

Ed, who was behind him, had the same difficult look on his face as Ruth.

"The person you just met is not a normal person.It was obviously different from the magic floating around.What is he, Ruth? "

"... I don't really understand either."

I searched around for a while, but I couldn't find the youth, and Ruth and Ed then went back to their original homes and took the train to college.

The train that passed its peak in Kia and the youth's Gotagota was somewhat empty, but it wasn't at the level of talking to Ed, and Ruth was able to talk about the youth until he got to college.

"That's very suspicious.People in this world seem to be basically living with common sense about how the world works here, so it's strange when that person is pretending that an “exit” exists.I mean, that's what they say about us treating us as foreign to the world... maybe Zagres himself or someone in their hands? "

"Zagres....."

It is also possible that he is the hand of Zagres and is leading us to the bottom of deeper magic so that we cannot escape Ruth.But Ruth felt something was different.

(I don't think he remembers it... but I think he knows it somewhere...)

I'm sure Ruth is not one of us, nor are we the ones we've met before.

But I felt that Ruth knew him. I just can't remember.

"But the first time he touched me was before I got my original memory back.Instead, I felt uncomfortable with him and noticed all sorts of strange things, and then I noticed the existence of Orha.... "

"I mean, if it weren't for that guy, Ruth would probably have been living the rest of the world?"

"Yeah, that's why it's hard to think I'm Zagres' man."

"Certainly...."

Walk along the campus talking to Ed.While he was on his way to meet Danielle and the rest of the world, Ed appropriately deceived himself that he was a relative's son and visited college and fled early.When I look at them, I feel a little uncomfortable, but it's strange because I usually spend time in this world.

"Ah, it's Yuan!"

"It's true, Yuan!"

Ruth and the others found the desired person in a separate building on the university campus with a lab.

Yuan looks a little surprised, but invites Ruth and the others.

"Yuan-san, you're wearing clothes you've never seen before, but you're wearing them normally."

"That was Ed, too."

Everyone has never worn clothes in this world, but the feeling of discomfort suits me unexpectedly.In the first place, it's probably because my memory has returned that I feel uncomfortable.

"Ruth, what's going on? Are you ready for class?And the kid? "

"Ah, class is good. And this is Ed.Remember, Yuan. "

"Remember?"

Ruth and the others took Yuan to the bench, giving the same explanation as Kia.You might want to take a different approach, but I didn't know what to say to remind you.

"... is that true?"

"True."

Yuan reacted as subtly as Kia did, but he listened carefully to Ruth and the others.Like Ed, "What are you talking about?It was not a reaction.Yuan opened his mouth after a while of silence.

"Assuming, as you say, that I'm not a real resident of this world, you must remember some discomfort?"

"Yuan-san! You believe me!"

"I can't believe you two came all the way to me to tell such a terrible lie.I'm not the type to make jokes like Karen.I'm sure Ruth knows he can't react well.Then I thought there was a reason. "

They didn't believe Ruth and the others, but it seems to be a judgment from the circumstances.It seems that Yuan doesn't remember the decisive discomfort either, and he can't get his memory back as quickly as Ruth and the others.

"Yeah, that's how uncomfortable it is. Yuan didn't feel anything wrong?I have taken actions that I would never do in this world.Especially when I was asleep. "

Waking up as soon as the sun rises and pumping water into the firewood are unnecessary actions for Ruth in this world.

Ruth was surprised at his behavior.Such trivial things should inspire you to regain your original memory.

"... discomfort"

Yuan thought about it for a while. I don't know if I can remember immediately or if I remember the discomfort, but I closed my eyebrows and kept silent.

Yuan would normally say, "Are you asleep?He takes questions seriously that make him want to question Ruth and the others.It was helpful not to run away like Kia.

"Yuan-"

But eventually another student came to the three.The student, who is experimenting with Yuan, seems to have come looking for him who will never come back.

"I'm sorry, Ruth. I'm gonna go for a while."

"Eh, wait, Mr. Yuan!We're not joking. "

"I know."

Euan nodded deeply with a calm expression in Ed's words.

"I'm not trying to discredit you.But give me a minute.You can be heartless while you experiment. "

Euan, whose memories are still sealed, can't organize what Ruth and the others said in his head.That's why he wants time.Don't make me hurry.

"Okay, I'll be back, Yuan."

When he heard Ruth's reply, Euan smiled softly.

"What's the matter, Yuan?"

"Your word."

"What? Me?"

"You were talking to me in honor until yesterday, and your name was Yuan."Yet today was not a salute from the time it appeared.Like a friend I've known for a long time. "

"Ah"
