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

(In that case, there is no doubt that Mitsuko-san is here.- I mean, it's Alec, so he knows me.)

If Zagres broke the seal, it is likely that there is a mix of light and Alec's memories.It is not strange that the light with Alec's memory feels Alec's will to help Ruth.

It's all just a story of possibilities, but I can't say that's never gonna happen.

"You... do you know me?"

Young man - Light was surprised that Ruth didn't think he knew him.

Ruth has a memory of his previous life, so he sees his name and appearance, but that's not normal.

Ruth and the light were never supposed to meet or talk.Because the dimensions and the timeline of existence are different.But it is miraculously reproduced here by the overwhelming power of Zagres.

"I know. I've been talking about you for a long time. Because I..."

When Ruth tried to tell Takashi Tanizaki that he was reborn, the surroundings became noisy.

"Ah, it's time to move. Anyway, you know I'm not being mean, right?Listen, you guys wait here. "

"Oh, wait a minute, Mitsumi."

"Don't find me until I give you a signal!"

When the light said so to Ruth and the others, it headed towards the Mansion.

As Ruth and the others look again at the entrance to the Mansion, the light passes right by the gatekeeper, passing through the coincidentally opened door and entering the Mansion.I will not be blamed at that time.

"You really can't see him..."

Karen's impressive voice echoes on the side.

When the light entered the Mansion for a while, one of the black clothes standing in front of the gate pressed his ear against him and spoke.Maybe he's talking on a comm or something.The same man called out to the man standing in front of the gate and went into the mansion.

Two men were gone, and light came out to the unmanned gate.

"Hey, this way. Come on!"

The light invites Ruth and the others into the Mansion.

Ruth, what are you gonna do, do what he says?

When Cyrus turned around, everyone seemed to be waiting for Ruth's judgment.

"Let's go. I can trust him. It's okay."

Ruth had no reason to doubt his actions as soon as he found out that the young man was a light.

When Ruth called out to his friends, he cut through the front and ran in front of the gate.My friends follow suit.

"I've switched off the security cameras, so I don't think anybody's gonna find you and come over here.Hurry up and get inside. "

Inspired by the light, Ruth and the others invade the Mansion.

There were few strangers and people in the house, but the atmosphere was still very vivid.They make Japanese-style buildings, but there are expensive items everywhere that are not found in the general household, surveillance cameras, large gardens, and many men in black.

(I wonder if it's Yakuza's house...?)

Ruth had never seen the real thing, but based on his previous television knowledge, he could only think of it that way.

"It's a pretty big house. Some people don't think it's a normal house subordinate, but what kind of building is this?"

"It's a slightly bigger family of people who say it's bad.Now, Dad... there aren't many people here because my head is out on errands, but I usually have more brother-in-law... members... a mansion that employs employees.Are they subordinates? Somewhat different from "

I was convinced from Maxim's conversation with the light that Ruth's predictions were correct.

"Mr. Hikaru? Where are we headed?"

"Back away."

"What's there?"

It's an exit.

Light answers Ed's question and goes straight to his leg.The house was complicated, but I didn't seem lost at all.Just walking down the road I know.

"... is this Mitsumi-san's home?"

Ruth took it for granted.

"... it's the main house of the temple, and I lived there for a while... but it's not my house."

The light that answered badly had a tender look on its face.I am sure it is the home of light from the way I put it, but there seems to be a complicated situation.

(Speaking of which, Takashi Tanizaki said that Mitsuki-san doesn't get along very well with his parents, or that he helps his uncle with his work.)

I didn't really realize it was in my dreams, but my Uncle of Light's job wasn't very serious.After all, Takashi Tanzaki's colleague Akashi received the gold, and instead of his name, a fake light approached Takashi and tried to trap him.

I can't think of a specific occupation name, but I think that I used deception and falling into trouble, fraud and spoofing as a business.And not individually, but collectively.I would have been satisfied if it had something to do with these houses behind it.

After a while, a crossing corridor emerged that led out through the large mansion.It leads to a fairly small house.

"There are a few people around here, but there's nobody here today, so don't worry...."

The murmuring light walked down the hallway early enough to open the door ahead.

The simple door was opened in a typically built bungalow, unlike the rugged houses we had just seen.The hallways and doors are very different from there, and nothing golden is placed.The light remained silent and opened the door behind the shortest corridor.

The size of the furniture made it look like a small children's room.However, there are no play tools, and there are only small study desks, hangars and shelves.

"Eh...."

However, there was a young boy lying in the futon placed in the center.A child under ten years of age.He is breathing painfully, but there is no one on his side.

Sick?

Your cheeks are burning up and your breathing is rough, which is obviously not normal.I don't think so, because Ruth and the others couldn't open their eyes.

"Is this the only boy in this room?You seem pretty sick, but aren't you with your parents? "

"I can't do that.Some people bring food and medicine, but they just leave as soon as they can. "

"Even though you seem to be in such pain....."

Ruth and the others approached the side where the child was sleeping.A child of age who still needs adult shelter.It is too cruel to be in a mansion where there are so many people, but no one comes near, and only medicine and food are placed.

"... that's what mistress children are like.Not if it's mixed with exotic blood... no one cares if he's dead. "

"Eh...."

Ruth's ear heard such a murmur of light lowering his gaze one step away.

(Ah, the color of Mitsu-san's hair...)

Ruth looks back at the boy lying down again.The cooling sheet on his forehead didn't look good in color, but he noticed that the boy, like the light, had a hair color that was different from that of the lightly pigmented Japanese -

"This kid... no way, Mitsumi-san?"

Ruth realized that the boy who was meditating in the futon was very similar to the light that guided him.Again, when I look at the two of them, I wonder if this is what happens when I return the light to a young child.My friends also noticed it, and they said, "It looks just like it."

The light sighs small under everyone's gaze.

"... yes, that's me.Should I be the original me of this world?And that's the exit you're looking for. "

"Exit!?"

The light approached the lying boy and lifted the tight little hand.

"Oops!?"

Suddenly a flash of light runs around, distorting the boy's palm.

"Here's the way out. Have you ever seen anything like this before?"

A blackish darkness was rising in the boy's palm.It's very similar to that creepy darkness we saw before Ruth and the others entered this world.

"Is this the way out?"

"... it's a place where you don't even think about it."

The companions tilt their necks as they see the darkness in the palm of the boy's head.It was a big darkness when I came in, and I can't normally imagine that the exit was such a small chunk.

If what Hikaru says is true, the world is made out of his memory.In other words, the basics are “Hikaru.”It's not strange that the exit is tied to it. "

Silas says it makes more sense than the presence of exits in unrelated objects and animals.

"The man is right. It's built on the world of my memories, so there's an exit for me.I mean, you guys have to get out of my head.The truth is, I wish he could lead you, but maybe he won't be able to move for another three days.Instead, I went to see you... which one of you is talking about? "

That said, the light compared Ruth and the others.You didn't think that someone with a tender voice was a knife in Ruth's bag.It will take time to explain now, so I decided to keep quiet with a bitter smile.

"Ruth, I'll ask you again just in case, but you can trust what Hikaru says, right?"

"... chi, believe me for a second."

In Maxim's confirmation, the light whispered little.I'm probably irritated by not being trusted.

But this isn't Maxim's fault, Ruth trusts him because he knows he's Alec's predecessor, but his people don't know that, so it's only natural.Nevertheless, there is no time to explain the area to them now.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I can trust Mitsuko-san."

So if Ruth answered that, their question immediately drew its colour.

"If that's what Ruth says, there's no problem.I'm sorry about this kid, but let me use it. "

"How do I get in?Kia, do you feel anything? "

"Hmm, ah, but does the smell...? Smell outside?"

When Karen prompted Kia to approach the tip of her nose, the darkness grew and wrapped his head.

"Wow!"

"Ki, kia!? Wow!"

Kia, whose head was wrapped in darkness, grabbed Ed, who was nearby, and went into the huge darkness.The darkness returned to its original size after swallowing them both.

"No, both of you!?"

The two of them suddenly disappeared and the rest of them panicked.I didn't expect you to come in without looking into it.

"--hey, there's a sign of someone breaking in!"

At the same time, I heard people around the house.The noise grows gradually, and the sound of people running away is heard.

"... ah - they found out you turned off the surveillance cameras.If you don't get out of here, they'll catch you. "

If the men get caught, they won't get out of this world.I snuck into Yakuza's house, so what the light says is not a threat.

When this happens, let's go!

Then Cyrus jumps out of Ruth's bag and chases after them.When Cyrus was swallowed, the darkness returned to its original size.

"Not if you're lost!Let's go! I'm sorry, boy, don't do anything! "

After that, Karen apologized for the light she was sleeping on and disappeared into the darkness.

"Go ahead and check the surroundings."

Yuan went on and vanished.

The last ones left were Maxim and Ruth.

Master Ruth, first.

Maxim was going to be the last, but Ruth looked back at the light.

"Mr. Maxim, can you go first?I just need to talk to Mitsumi-san.... "

"... okay, I'll wait for you first. Good morning."

"Yes"

When Maxim understood Ruth's intentions, he went into the darkness to follow his friends.

Ruth and the light are left behind in a room where the little child's breathing resonates.

"What are you talking about? I know you, but that's all -"

"Do you remember Takashi Tanizaki?"

"Nh...!?"

Looking at Ruth's words, he turned to look at the light, which had been a faint face until now, with a terrible surprise.And the expression that was filled with surprise gradually changed.
