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

Ruth!

"Eh...?"

It was Alec who showed up.

Loose with her eyebrows raised unexpectedly looked at Alec next to her with the same expression.

"I'm glad you're okay, Ruth!"

"No, that's... that's enough."

Alec was next door the whole time, but he didn't catch the other guy who showed up all of a sudden.I don't know what the Lord is thinking, but Ruth thought he was desperate.

But there are also foolish schemes.

(Natasha used this hand once.)

Even then, I knew it wasn't Alec, but I couldn't possibly understand it in this situation.

"Come on... I don't know what to do, but don't you think it's too much to turn into me?"

Alec saw a fake with a rip of hostility.His hand tried to reach for the sword at his waist, but he noticed that there was no weapon there.

(Yes, Orha isn't here either.Don't rely on Alec's magic....)

Loose seems to have been trapped in this world without weapons sometime.Ruth, who can't use magic, is useless in battle.I didn't think I'd be able to join Alec in the fight.

"Please, Ruth, listen to me!It's really tough! "

Fake Alec completely ignores Alec and approaches Ruth.The desperate expression of impatience was rare to Alec and impressed him with a little bit of rarity.

(What should I do...)

Ruth is weak to Alec's face, even if he knows it's fake.Loose thoughts come to mind, such as, "Can I just listen to you for a minute?"Of course, I have no intention of taking the story seriously.

"Er... Alec, what's the trouble? Tell me."

"Ruth!?"

Ruth secretly whispered to Alec, who shouted surprise next door, keeping his gaze on the fake.

"Alec, calm down, I don't believe this fake.I just thought I'd listen to you for a minute.Maybe there's a hint to get out of this place. "

"Ah... okay."

Alec looked as dissatisfied as he could, but he stopped trying to catch a fake because he was convinced by Ruth's story.Ruth keeps an eye on the trend, even as he gets stronger in his hand.

(This place is really “Alec”... I'm glad.)

With Alec's strength, you can force Ruth to do anything she doesn't want, but you'll never do it.Respects Ruth's will and opinions as much as possible and keeps an eye on things.I can't help but like Ruth.

"Stopping Zagres accelerated the opening of the sky gates.A lot of alien creatures are coming from the other side, and the jijijii are being pushed.Everyone's in danger.I have to help! "

I see.

It seems that Alec's goal is to tease Ruth like that.I decided not to ask why I knew the situation outside.

"But I can't defeat the alien creature that has grown stronger with Zagres' stealing power and his Proper Value returning to eighteen.I can't protect everyone as a brave man.That's why....! "

Alec's eager expression suddenly fell out like a dead man.

"--Die, Ruth."

Huh

A sword suddenly appeared in the hands of false Alec.It was directed at Ruth.Vigilant Ruth backed down aggressively to avoid it.But sooner than that, Alec's body was cut in half by the sword.

"Die!"

Along with the hateful words of Alec, the false Alec is carved with a “sword”.Without being able to scream or raise a voice, the fake Alec disappeared into dust.

"Ruth, are you hurt!?"

"No, and I avoided the first shot.I was slow. "

"I know that, but if anything happens, I don't like it."

Ruth has pride, but if Alec says, "I don't like you," we'll have to accept it.

Fake Alec disappeared and the surroundings were darkened again.

"Besides, Alec, I get it."

"What happened?"

"Who brought us to this world?"

Oh, really?

"Ahh....."

Ruth came to me with a fake Alec line earlier.

There's only one person at this stage who wants to kill me.

Ruth is a mortal. I was able to accomplish the special task of helping Alec, but basically it is the same whether it is in place or not.Now that I've saved Alec, I don't care about life or death in this big picture.

But I know that the only thing that exists is that Ruth had an unusual obsession with life and death.

I want to kill Ruth and fully awaken Alec.

"You're the one who brought us into this weird space - the administrator.No, it's a star.

Suddenly, in a empty space, there was a silence that made my ears hurt.Silence persisted to ignore Ruth's words for a while.It was Ruth who lost.

"... are you going to make progress without showing up?It's not sincere to make this star's wish a star, is it?Or is it awkward to face Alec?Well, I'm sure Alec will be angry. "

The air starts groaning to meet Ruth's apparent provocation.

First of all, the vibrations and space began to distort.The world waves like a heartbeat, the ground shakes, and the body bounces.

After realizing that Alec was too confused, Ruth gripped the connected hand with both hands.

"Alec, he's coming... he's coming. The man who tortured Alec, the manager."

Light spreads to a world that was dark.The light turned over the surroundings and filled everything with white.

"You...."

The ground in front of Ruth and Alec began to shake like a water surface.A shining figure emerged from among them.

"He's the star." "Administrator."

Alec muttered.

He appeared as a divine figure depicted in religious paintings.Looks both female and male in Ruth's eyes.A neutral appearance would seem to go beyond knowledge.

"This time, you're looking so beautiful, right?Because Alec's here?Last time, he appeared not only in humans, but also in animals, monsters, trees, grasses, flowers, and so on. "

Ruth's wrinkles slightly appeared on the administrator's face.It's obvious that you're uncomfortable.Wrinkles on the divine face are distorted and feel even more uncomfortable.

"... you're starting to say, Ruth Braw."

"If you're going to be killed like that, you're going to say it like a disgusting thing.Or did you think I was keeping my mouth shut? "

It is clear that the manager is trying to kill Ruth again.Nothing changed when I got in a mood.In that case, I will not hesitate to sell the fight.

"Still, it was you..."

Ruth was largely imagined by the person who created this space.

A special space that requires enormous magic separated from the real world.Only Natasha, Zagres, and the administrator have ever created this space.

Natasha, Zagres is no longer capable of making magic like this.Of course, there are other people with Natasha level magic, but it's not the case that Ruth is in charge at the final.In that case, the only one left is the administrator.

"Are you afraid to kill me again?Your wish has already come true, why are you trying to kill me? "

Even though we know that Ruth's life is only for the administrator, we don't know why.

Alec's complete awakening is complete and his powers unleashed.At that point, the person who fulfilled the wishes of the stars was born, and the administrator's work should have been completed.And I still don't know what it means to target Ruth.

"I did. That's what I should have done... I should have done what I wanted from the stars... but..."

The face of the divine administrator is gradually shifting ugly.

"I'm back...."

The image of the “star”, which emitted a divine light, began to distort.

"Back to where it came from, it's gone..."

The administrator's face cracked.There is a terrible red light overflowing from inside.

"Based on... why?"

The crack eventually spreads all around the body, and the creepy shaped thing crawls out through the divine exterior.It's just hair, muscles, organs and skeletons, as if it's peeling from people.

The contents of the skinned keeper were ten times the size of Ruth's.He stared at us with his cloudy eyes, shook his hair and shouted.

"Why, why... why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why!?Why are you back, Alec!? "

A voice close to the manager's scream echoes.frustration, despair, anxiety, anxiety - a mix of emotions.

"Why are you back, the one who fulfills the wishes of the stars?”Why did you abandon your mission?Let go of that enormous power and why is it there!?The only reason you live is because of the stars! "

Ruth felt a chill in the voice of the angry manager.The manager's intention to kill us is not the same as when Ruth was confronting us.She had the strength to cut her throat with just the signs.

Alec stands in front of you when you see Ruth like that.Thanks to the shielding, Ruth is finally able to breathe properly.The signs of management were so strong.It is difficult for ordinary people to breathe in Ruth.

"Alec... are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Stay a little lower than that... he's motivated."

I noticed Alec was alert and ready to release his magic at any time.It is clear from the signs of the administrator that the conversation will not end.

But not only that, the target was moving with more anger toward Alec than the goal of killing Ruth.

"--Why are you still weak!?"

The manager can't allow Alec to lose his full awakening power.At the end of dozens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of failures, it was frustrating that the perfect awakener, finally born, quickly lost power and became flat.

However, Alec had no fear of such murder.On the contrary, he stares at the administrator in an irritating manner.

"You're kidding... I can't believe you have such extraordinary powers!I can't control it from where I've got it, I'm just making my surroundings unhappy.I don't want that! "

Alec knows he can't control that power.That's why I don't want to get it again.

"That's unacceptable, you have to accept it!The powerful force that the stars desire, the destructive force that makes a difference! "

"- I told you I don't want it!"

"You were born for that!Accept your power! Accept it! "

"--don 't be ridiculous!!"

Alec's anger echoes.

"You can't accept the power that presupposed Ruth's death!Fuck that power! Absolutely, absolutely not! "

Alec refused the power.I see him seriously refusing to accept the screams coming out of the bottom of his belly.

(Will you give up...)

I wondered what the administrator would do.If Alec refuses, it will be difficult to force him to do so.If Alec was on Ruth's side in the first place, it would be difficult for administrators to do what they wanted.

"I can't help it………… ― Let's prepare ourselves for the" One who fulfills the wishes of the stars ”first."

The ground broke with the quiet words of the manager, and something like a tree root appeared from the ground.It glows red and black and connects to the administrator's body.It was as stupid as if the whole earth were the body of the administrator.
