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

"Cyrus, Ed, Orha, let me wait..."

"Eh, who?"

"... that hair color?"

"Could it be Ed?"

It wasn't Ed the little boy sitting on the bench, but a young man the same age as tall Ruth with the same hair color.He lay face down ashamed, but answered Ruth's questions in a small way. It still looks like Ed.

When Ed was sitting on the bench alone as a kid, the guards and the shopkeepers nearby were worried.

I felt the circumstances of Cyrus's story.If a junior boy in elementary school had been sitting alone on a bench, everyone would have wondered what had happened.

"After trying hard to remember, I was able to look like this."

Ed has changed his appearance before.The experience of that time was also helpful.

If Cyrus is to be human, he has to solve the fusion with Orha, so he's going to stay like this.

I decided to enter the café in the building because it would attract attention if four adults were sitting on the bench and talking.Order lunch appropriately and start talking again.

And then Maxim and Kia.Where's Maxim? "

"Mr. Maxim, you've always been in Karen's shop as a salesman, right?Maybe they're coming today? "

"No, I don't think Maxim will be here today, because we have a certain number of business days.But it's probably going to be the company. "

Karen was the only shop clerk who knew Maxim's company and location.Ruth and the others went straight to Maxim's company after dinner.The time was in the evening, when there were many company employees on their way home around the station.

It's huge ~

Maxim's company was quite large.It seems that the company owns one building that is so tall that the top floor is invisible.Apparently, it is not only outdoor products, but also a group company that operates in various fields.

"Maxim is an elite in reality and in this world...."

"Maxim is so friendly that I'll forget, but you're a knight and a nobleman ~"

As I looked up at the building, my neck hurt, so I stopped early, and several employees showed up from the entrance and exit in good time.

Let me ask you something ~

"Eh, ah...."

Karen walked up to them majestically with a nice smile on her face and came back after talking for a while.

"I think I knew him, so I got Maxim.I'm sure she'll be down in a little while, so let's wait. "

"Did you call me often?"

Normally, I thought you wouldn't be able to meet me from the front if you didn't make a promise at these companies, but Karen seemed to have negotiated lightly.

"Fufu, it's so easy."

I never thought Karen's ability to communicate was so reliable.

After a while, Maxim really came out of the company.

Come on, Ruth, go.

"Eh, me alone!? Let's go together."

"Maxim is better off alone. Come on, hurry up."

When Karen told him to pick him up by himself, Ruth went straight into the nearby coffee shop.The shop was quite crowded, and Ruth and the others sat at the end and ordered it properly.

(Karen told me to listen to Maxim... but when I do, will you realize that the world is a mess?)

Previous members took action from Ruth and the opponent noticed.But in the case of Maxim, it is better to listen to him.I have no idea what the hell is going on.

Ruth was worried about what to ask, and eventually a drink came to the table and Maxim spoke.

"You came all the way to the office today. Thank you, Mr. Ruth."

"Ah, no... well..."

I couldn't say to Maxim, who seemed kind of happy, "Actually, there are about five other people, and I'm here in the seat behind you."

"Did Karen say anything to you?"

"Eh, well... that's how it feels..."

I know it's not what Maxim imagined, but Karen told me it was going to be like this.As Ruth nodded honestly, Maxim scratched his neck with a stinking smell.

"Haha... he really has a good hunch.I'm good at feeling people's emotional agility.I wish I had the ability to make people feel that way.... "

Ruth noticed to Maxim, who smiled a little bitterly, that this would be the place to listen to Karen.So I'll give it a shot.

"... Karen asked me to listen to Maxim.Is something wrong? "

In Ruth's words, Maxim drinks coffee in front of him, saying, "Oh, my God."

"I don't think I should talk to Ruth, who has nothing to do with it...."

"I think there are some things you can understand because it has nothing to do with it.I can stand objectively because I don't have any clues.... "

As soon as Ruth said it himself, it felt like he had talked about it somewhere before.But I can't remember where it was.

That's true too. Then let me ask you a few questions.Actually, I've been asking you a lot of things before.... "

As we've been talking to Ruth before, Maxim wanted to launch a new product for young people.But Maxim wasn't in the planning department, so his boss didn't seem interested in the new product, so he just asked him to do his usual job.Also, even when I speak to a colleague, Maxim frowns and is avoided trying to work differently in different departments.

In summary, it seems that Maxim suffers from internal work and relationships.

"It may simply mean that I don't have any popularity... but I don't know why, I think my colleagues were more aggressive before... even that...?Was Tapel like that? "

Maxim twisted his neck frequently.

(Perhaps... because Maxim is the reality and the chief of the Knights and the top of the Knights, the position and situation of the current general company employees are too different, and the relationship is not going well...)

It doesn't mean Maxim isn't popular.He is popular enough to welcome Karen with a smile, and when he talks, he says he has top sales results.It is not a type that changes personality internally and externally, and it is a type that people follow.Otherwise, I can't do the top of the Knights.

But this isn't the original world.Maxim is a big company, but he's in an old-fashioned company, and he's a flat worker.I can't act freely like the original world.I'm sure you're feeling a distortion there.

Then there's one thing Ruth will do.

"Tappel, is that your lieutenant Tappel?One of Maxim's trusted. "

"Eh... lieutenant? Tappel's a colleague?I don't have any employees because I'm a general employee..... "

"No, Mr. Tappel is a lieutenant.I work for Maxim. I always wrote to him that he was a good man and a reliable associate who would move ahead in response to Maxim's reform. "

The letters he was communicating with Maxim were lined up with compliments to the six members of his SS.They move ahead for Maxim, and immediately notice his grief.As it stands, Maxim has always told me that he is a subordinate and trustworthy associate who will carry out reforms to make it easier for him to move.

In fact, Maxim has entrusted them with protecting the country in order to participate in this operation.It should be made up of so much trust.

"My men... my people? Tappel?"

"It's not just Mr. Tappel.There must have been a lot of trusted people in the Knights around Maxim.You're here with me because you trust them, right? "

"... the Knights...?"

"Remember, were all the people around you not on your side when you were in trouble?That shouldn't be the case.Always surrounded by trusted companions, Mr. Maxim defended the country as the Knights Commander.You were desperate to protect your friends and many of your people during this alien assault. "

"... I..."

"... Mr. Maxim, is this really the world you were in?"

The distressed and tired Maxim's eyes were lit.

"Lord Ruth... what is this place?"

"Mr. Maxim, you've noticed. Good."

"Lord Ruth." Ruth sees in that word that he has regained his original memory.

At the same time, three people were waiting behind Maxim.

"Your memory is back."

"Great, Maxim!"

"It's good to have you back, Mr. Maxim!"

"Hey, you two... hello Ed!?"

Yes, it's Ed.

Maxim seemed surprised at the appearance of the three, but immediately figured out why.

Calling the clerk, Karen and the others also moved to Ruth's table to tell him how things were going.

Maxim was immediately convinced that the world itself was surprised by the boulders, but that this would not be possible in itself.

Kia is the only one left.

Silas sneaked out of the bag, so Maxim immediately realized Kia wasn't here.Ruth and the others explain the absence of Kia to Maxim.

"I see... but if you have everything but Kia, can't you do this?"

Share how Maxim came up with it.

Worth a try.

"Kia, I don't think that's a good idea."

"What a lonely bastard she is.Maxim's been watching a lot, too. "

"Ruth, when will I see Kia again?"

"Now, maybe he's at my local station."

Well, let's hurry up.

The five of them hurried to the nearest station near Ruth's house.

It seemed like such a gorgeous crowd would attract attention as they walked around the city, but somehow nothing particularly happened, and Ruth and the others arrived at the station.

"Ah, there it is!"

That's Kia.

Kia was sitting on a bench at Ruth's local station.As the people who got off the platform headed for the ticket, they sat on a bench and asked around.Home people were sparse because they passed the peak of home rush.

"Then follow the plan."

Ruth said so and went to Kia one by one, away from the four.

Kia!

"Ah, Ruth!"

Kia brightened her face when she saw Ruth.He stood up and rushed towards Ruth.

"Ruth, I'm sorry about the morning, I think you said a lot.I panicked and ran away.... "

"Don't worry about it.I'm sorry, I said all kinds of weird things. "

Ruth apologized and Kia shook her head.

"So, Ruth, let's go to the Chinese shop as a sign of reconciliation.The shop I found the other day was delicious! "

"Oh, I'm sorry. I can't do that."

"Are you busy today?"

"No, I can't do that anymore."

"Huh?... what do you mean?"

Kia has a pokewarm expression on Ruth's remarks.I feel like I said I don't know what I'm talking about.
