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

"Mmm..."

When Ruth felt the cold air in the morning and opened her eyes, she saw a sparkling golden color. I leaned over to the warm shades familiar to my eyes and gently stroked them with my lips. The smell of the other person drifts flutteringly, making your mind feel filled. At the same time, the brain came back to reality.

When I looked around satisfied, the dim light of the lamp remained on the same as before I went to bed. I immediately remembered sleeping in Alec's room yesterday.

(In the morning...)

I feel the sun already starting to rise from the feeling of the air, although I can't see the view outside because Alec's room has no windows. I guess this is the feeling I got in this world.

(Even so, you dreamed of it again...)

Ruth can tell that what I just saw was a dream from a previous life. But that's not the days that are hot and dented, or the scene of an accident that ends a previous life, the part I couldn't remember in the old days - the events a few years before I died.

Takashi Tanazaki, Ruth's previous life, began his encounter with Miyamoto Mitsuko, who would later be sheltered from a large car collision.

The dreams of my previous life, although I don't often feel better remembering them, the dreams I had earlier remained calm even when I woke up wondering.

(Mr. Miyamoto... you're a strange person)

The person who appeared in front of Takashi Tanzaki in the figure of a woman - but the gender is male. Takashi knew his gender from the time we met, but I treated him as a woman in keeping with his introduction, wondering if that was his way of life. But sometimes, the light takes words and deeds like it forgets that it looks like a woman. Thanks to you, Takashi is more insignificant at the beginning of the follow-up.

(Kind of a brother? You felt like brothers and sisters)

The filial piety in my dreams was always so calm that I didn't think I had a woman in front of me. It was as gentle as watching my brother, continuing to interact with the light. I'm sure I knew I was a man from the beginning, so I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable looking like a beautiful woman.

As he continued to interact, Takashi was actively speaking to the light of wanting to be strong, not just about karate, but about eating, building strength, etc. Maybe I can say that Takashi was eyeing the talent of light that gradually improves, as a mentor.

Light was also a slightly different person, accepting such feelings of filial piety, in a deliberate way at first, gradually and genuinely.

(Takashi (I), I was free in a way...)

The two were nearly ten years apart, and Takashi worked for a good place company, but had no hobbies besides karate without her, so she had room for money and time. That's why I guess I was serious about the other person in the light who wanted to live as a woman, who wanted to live as a man, vague, difficult to handle if I told you.

(Mr. Kwong... I wonder if he was lonely...)

It was only at the beginning of the encounter that the light also had an irresistible atmosphere, but it was gradually soft and sometimes zero genuine.

What we have seen in it is a distorted relationship between the light and the people surrounding him. He became a terribly cold eye when talking about his parents, and when talking about his friends, he mouthed like an enemy with the premise that he would be deceived. The only thing that seemed to open up was my relative's uncle, but when I talked to him, he looked complicated and turned away immediately.

Takashi wondered if such a light attitude was because he had not opened his mind at first, but over time he had come to know that it was his normal.

Light has come to teach a lot to filial filial piety, perhaps because it has learned rarity in older filial piety that is completely harmless and lightly deceived.

(... you weren't a bad kid. I'm sure...... I'm sure)

Ruth wanted to think so, but what comes to mind is a scene I had previously dreamed of - another man arguing about the light and the Akashi.

'Kill me, who said!? All I asked you guys to do was torment him. Tell him to stop and throw it away when he's in good shape. That's what I was supposed to do!

I remember the words Akashi, a colleague of Takashi's company and a friend, was screaming.

If that word is to be true, the light will have appeared before you to deceive and afflict the filial piety. Thinking about it, I thought the way you looked like you were nostalgic was also an act, and my feelings recessed.

(Akashi-san...)

Now that I can remember blurry, relying on the memory of my previous life, I feel Akashi was burning his confrontation to an unusual extent against Takashi. It's all about sales results, hobby karate, even women's relationships where filial piety was overwhelmingly unfavourable.

Now I don't know what was growing Akashi's frustration of filial piety in different directions. Gradually, however, its opposing mind was moving in a distorted direction, and Akashi was not looking around him, and the pulling of Takashi's leg was fine. Now I know, but the women who were unafraid of filial piety suddenly began to avoid it, the failure of the deal, and the strange harassment, mostly involving Akashi behind it.

But Takashi at the time was all convinced that he just didn't get it. Even though Akashi obviously had a suspicious attitude, he didn't seem to care much. There's more to bluntness.

(No, you don't... Takashi (I) said he was a friend, but I guess Akashi wasn't interested...)

There was no way I could understand that Ruth now could tell, given only a small amount of information, by the filial filial piety of the time.

Indifference is more cruel than disgust.

Takashi realized how strange Akashi was, but he didn't try to do anything. Even though I named Akashi's friend in the first place, I never spoke to him with a broken stomach. Though not represented in his attitude, he was angry deeply at Akashi's response to himself and pretended not to see it all.

"- All I asked of you was to torment him."

So, in that dream, I finally learned of Akashi's distorted obsession with Takashi.

"- Oh, stop."

Ruth shook her head as she raised her voice low.

(It's too late to know anything now, and there's generally no proof that that dream is true, so let's not think about it extraneously. I just feel bad. No matter what you look at in the future!

I've been moaning for a while now, and I felt good about it because of the morning ruined. How ridiculous it would be to pull past life's problems into this world and continue to worry about them. Either way, it's all too late for anything you think.

"Well, let's get up, Alec - is that it?

But when I tried to move my body, I noticed that I was disappointed to be turned around my arm so that I could not move. I don't even freak out if I twist my hips a bit.

"Alec, shall we get up now?

The cause, of course, is Alec holding Ruth all over his body. Alec faces Ruth's chest in a familiar position. I'm sure he's awake ahead as usual, but I thought he was waiting for Ruth to move - but if you look closely, he's resting easy.

(rare......)

I was wondering because Ruth woke up without calling me, but I was surprised Alec was still asleep. Such a defenseless sleeping face may have been since I was a kid. Because Alec is better awake first.

(That was a little weird yesterday, too)

Whether you want Ruth to bite, cry good, or ask Ruth mean questions like that is a reaction that Alec has never had before.

(Well, I'm not hating you...)

As a matter of fact, Ruth doesn't mind if Alec looks like he's having fun. I told Alec himself, if he's not going to do something painful, he really thinks he can do anything. I was sufficiently satisfied with Ruth, even if he made me feel somewhat burned and cry, as he did yesterday, because it felt pretty good about it. Even if Alec says something mean, his chest makes a strange noise by accident, so much so that he tightens it up there where it's titled.

(Should I be a little tougher on Alec, Ole?

Ruth feels like she has seen her sexuality and rushes to undo her thoughts.

(The one from yesterday, I hope it's not anxiety or something...)

Ruth remembers the distortion of space he previously saw around Alec as he stroked his head in front of him.

Alec, who became anxious in Ruth's words, must have made it unconsciously.

Alec is usually calm, so there is no damage, but if his emotions are too high because of his great power, it will affect his surroundings. I can see from that that Alec never has a superhuman spirit.

(Plus, it looks like I'm involved in Brave Fairness...)

Instead, I guess Alec has a delicate part against Ruth.

The same reason must be why I had cold air all around me when I met Maxim face-to-face about a year ago. Alec was still weak at the time, so it was done to that extent, but I can't imagine what would happen if the same thing happened now.

"... you're almost there, aren't you? Come on, Alec. I'll be right back."

Ruth gently embraced Alec's head as he rested.

When Alec woke up a while later, he noticed Ruth waking up first and looked unexpected. Apparently I never thought I'd wake up later. But when Ruth said "Morning Alec," he looked very happy. I hear this is fine.

Then when Ruth cleaned up the morning inn job, the two of us went hunting.

I knew Alec and the others were coming, so I didn't have a problem with food because Ruth had already gotten more with his friends Daniels, but he wanted to go hunting with Ruth for the first time in a while.

For a village with nothing, hunting, besides securing food, also has a sporting connotation. Of course, I appreciate all the prey I took, but it was only natural that "let's go hunting" when it comes to "doing something together".

(Good to be here hunting)

Alec enjoyed hunting with Ruth for a long time. Chasing the oculus is no different than when we were in the village, sounding the voices that made it bounce into the woods. Seeing that made Ruth feel kind of relieved to be back in time, too.

(I'm sure Alec is holding back a lot of power...)

Still, I was happy to share my hunting time with Ruth.

"You didn't have a lot of little ones today."

"Right. Maybe they're all hiding because they noticed Alec's signs."

"Ah, I'm keeping it down... I don't like small animals after all"

"Ha."

Coming to the scenic high ground after lunch, the two of us sat by Ogi's side and started eating the lunch that Celine had made for us. This place is a little further away from the village, with surroundings and a view of the village in the distance. I used to visit when I was hunting with Alec.

"It's good to live like this relaxed."

Alec tells me he's smudged as he cheeks the noon sandwich where the leaking sun falls.

"It's been a lot of fun this year, so I didn't always relax."

The year since Alec left has been a lot of real trouble. Nor has it been once or twice that Ruth was put in danger of his life. This was the first time I had lived in this world for nearly twenty years.

"Well, sure. I don't think this place is always peaceful..."

After finishing his meal, Alec took a big, deep breath when he had a cup of tea and turned around behind Ruth. When I put my body between the tree and Ruth, I come around my belly with my hands. My back warmed up.

"Still, this is how I like to watch the mountains, feel the empty mood, hunt, worry about crops and try to successfully protect this place..."

With that said, Alec pulled out his body and placed his head on Ruth's shoulder. Turning to you, his jewel-like eyes were about to be covered in his eyelids.

"Sleepy?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Go home?"

"No, a little more..."

Sometimes tomorrow, so I thought I should go home if I'm sleepy, but as for Alec, he wants to relax outside with Ruth this way.

"Ruth."

"Yeah?"

When I reply to the calling voice, my sweet eyes slowly come closer. Ruth looked at him with a laugh in his eyes like that.

In the end, without taking much prey, the two returned to their homes after seeing the sun fall. When I finished, it was a day I didn't know if I went hunting or if I had come to relax with Alec while he slept on the grass. But I guess I can have a day like that.

(Well, if Alec's mission as a brave man is over, he'll have plenty of time to do that in the future...)

Some time after Ruth's return, so did his companions who had gone to the king's capital and their respective homelands. The members who were relaxing at the inn also join us and once again we all have dinner. Unlike yesterday, there was no talk of tomorrow's dungeon in the conversation. Then they all quietly went back to their rooms.

Alec naturally came to Ruth's room, but when we lay down in bed together that day, he just meditated quietly on his eyes.
