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

"What's the matter, Alec?What's going on? "

With that, young Ruth picks up the ball and follows Alec's gaze.But I couldn't see Ruth, so I immediately tilted my neck.

"There's nothing, come on!"

"Uhh... yeah"

Ruth pulled his hand and Alec went back into the children's circle.

The sight suddenly cleared Ruth's head.

"So this is how Alec stopped moving when he looked at the tree."

I'm convinced it's not what I remember. But...

"... what?"

So I suddenly wondered Ruth's head.

"...... no, why did you suddenly remember?"

Since I came to this world, I have suddenly remembered the past several times.At first, I really forgot, and I just thought I remembered.

(Something planted a memory in your head...)

I felt like I was deceived by a memory that I shouldn't have had.It's as if you're making the past in front of you.

"............"

A strange cold is rising.

An unpredictable, disgusting feeling that the imagination should be laughing away is actually true.

But I feel like I shouldn't deceive you.

(... am I just supposed to watch this world without doing anything?)

Just ahead of Ruth holding his head, young Alec and Ruth play ball with the children around them.

Alec's young and innocent expression is bright.

"Why am I here?"

― ― For a moment, Alec's face turned into a dark expression that looked like Honza in front of her.

"I'm eating. Let me do what I can."

"... I'm sorry."

I can't take this anymore than a soap......

I can't let you two look like totlerers......

"Thanks to the priest's position, it's not hard to gather people who can use it freely... hahaha!"

Unconnected events that I have seen since I came to this world run through my head.

Will Honza really disappear, Father Johann will come to Hashi village, the children of the orphanage will be happy, and what will happen to Alec?

Wow!

Alec lay on the stone, accompanied by young Ruth, who was running nearby, and fell on the spot.After they both lay down on the ground at the same time, Ruth rose up immediately, followed by Alec.

Hmm.

How's it going, Alec?

Did it hit a burning applause? There is a cut on Ruth's cheek and blood is flowing.But young Ruth didn't care about it, and shouted at Alec as he hit his forehead and cried.I suppose you were more concerned about Alec's crying than about your pain.

"Ah...."

Suddenly, I felt the pain running in the same place where young Ruth was injured.I touched that part, but I didn't get hurt in particular.Nothing. It's still beautiful.

"... see you again"

I felt a tingling pain now - I realized it was a ”memory” as if it were a feeling of the past.

Your hands that touch your cheeks tremble.

(Is that... what this is about?)

Ruth has no idea what he's up to now. I can't explain.

― ― But while Ruth was involved in the history of the stars, he saw a lot of things that were impossible in common sense and unexplainable events.

An unidentified presence in the high dimension of stars.An alien creature overflowing with holes in the sky.Even though the body is dead, it is itself living in the form of a soul.It was an experience that overturned all kinds of common sense.

That's why I can think of it.

The future (now Ruth) has changed little by little depending on the past before us. I mean...

(... what if I didn't do anything here?)

Trace the injured “memory” cheeks.

Alec is not as strong as he is today.You can't escape or refuse like this, and slowly, just like Rihala and Noah, you get involved in the manufacture of that illegal drug called Ruby.

"Alec...."

Will Alec, who grew up aware that what he was doing under Honza was a crime, be as “present” as Alec, who had gained much knowledge and lived freely under Father Johann?

The moment I thought about it, my heart pulsed, my skin tingled, and my breathing became rough.I felt fear.

[Ruth]

That smile could be gone.

"... why am I here?"

Ruth made up his mind.

------------

"Save Alec."

If you're just peeking into the past, you can't get your hands on it.Because it will change history.

However, as it stands, we cannot overlook this world that cannot reach Ruth's known past.Ruth decided to be involved in the world.

Anyway, to stop Honza's evil deeds, drop off the priest's post, and allow Father Johann to come to Hashi Village.

(I've decided on a policy here, but there's not much I can do...)

Being able to loose ambiguously means ignoring the existence of matter and seeing things.

Only that young Alec can speak up and show his existence.

(So Alec's help is essential to get Honza out of the village.)

It's out of the question to ask such a small Alec for help.Ruth decides to do it himself.

But now Ruth can't interfere with anything other than Alec.Instead of transporting things, you can't make them exist or speak up.Alec has to do it.

"... just because Alec can't snitch on the village chief right now"

Looking at Alec and the others playing in Central Square, Ruth murmured with a sigh.

There is also a way to verbally tell Alec that Ruth is seeing and tell the village chief as it is.However, I don't think Alec, who seems to remember the fear of the village chief, can accurately convey the information.

In the first place, the village chief would not be able to do anything simply by listening to the story.What he wants is proof of Honza's evil.

(In that case, Alec asked me to talk to my father who seems to be more vigilant than the village chief...)

Since the village chief is alerted by Honza, it will be difficult to get close, rather than grasp, where the evidence is.But Ruth's father, Rosa, might be able to grasp the evidence because he only knows Honza as a villager.

(If he were my father, he'd believe a little of what Alec said about the kid.)

The church priests are cultivating illegal drugs. Normally, children won't believe it, but Rosa is a very flexible type around here.Even if you don't believe a hundred percent, you're not going to deny it straight away, and you're going to look into it a little bit.

(But, Dad, you're not good at investigating... so don't sneak up on me and I'll cut you in the face and ask you questions...)

If that happens, Honza, who even has the village chief on it, will be well rounded up.In a good sense, Rosa is a very honest person.

You might want to think of something else, but Ruth can't think of a suitable person.

There are many people who interact with each other in modern times, but Ruth in this era only has as close a relationship as his parents when it comes to adults.Nowadays, people who can be trusted are too young in this era, and I don't recognize my face when I get older.I wonder if it can be trusted.

(It's hard for an adult to believe Alec in the first place...)

Alec of this age is an "unborn child left behind by a stranger."I take care of them in the village orphanage, but I don't get a good impression from the adults around me.When he made a statement accusing the priest, Alec himself could be said to be bad, rather than worried.No, that's what they say.

(After all, Dad is the best thing to do... so let's try to complain about Alec's poor living conditions instead of ruby at first...?)

Alec talks to Rosa about food and bed problems.From there, you will learn about Honza's evil deeds, tell her about Ruby, grab the evidence Ruth taught you, and hand it over to the village chief.

(Either way... if I talk to my father, I'll go talk to Honza directly...)

Rosa's kindness and honesty were difficult to treat at the moment.These intelligence actions are good at the Zelenka family of my friend Colt's family, but it is quite a hurdle for Alec to go and talk to the Zelenka family now.It's decided to be driven back.

Ruth was worried about how to pass the Honza evidence to the village chief, and the ball that the children were playing rolled again.

"Ah...."

"....."

Alec was still here to pick it up, and as he looked at Ruth and grabbed the ball, he ran away like a rabbit.

"... before that, I have to get along with Alec."

It was avenged that Alec's relationship had been abandoned until today.I can't talk to Alec properly like this.

(Convincing Alec in words would be difficult...)

At some age, it may be possible to gain trust with words alone, but Alec is still five years old.You won't be able to make that decision.

It's a hassle, but first you need to gain trust in something else so that you can think that Ruth is right.

When I saw the children playing for a while, in the evening, I called out to the children whose parents were playing and took them home.It's time for dinner at each house.

"Ruth, I'm changing too...."

Alec looks at young Ruth with a lonely look.I know that this happens because I'm short, but it goes without saying that this figure, combined with the cute figure, can stir up the desire for asylum.It seems that young Ruth's chest hurt when he left Alec like this, and he pulled his hand.

"Hold on, Alec. Your mother must be making a fool out of you.Eat before you go home. "

"Eh, really!? Here we go!"

Alec's expression quickly became brighter with delicious sweets and the pleasure of being with Ruth a little more.Looking at it, young Ruth nodded with satisfaction, pulling Alec toward the house.

Ruth followed those two secretly.

The two men, who entered the Brau house from the back door, went to the kitchen in silence.

Dinner time in other houses is when the Brau house serves dinner to its guests.Nobody noticed them because they were in the most hurry.

Young Ruth, who came in front of the door connecting the kitchen and the hallway of his mother's house, looked at Alec with his index finger in front of his mouth.Alec also restrained his mouth with both hands.

Ruth, who secretly opened the door, reached out to the baked confectionery from inside the cage placed on the side of the canter.
