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

(What the...)

Before Ruth with her eyes closed, a strange world spreads. My chest held a strange vortex. The dark vortex occupies my chest and I am restless.

- Dungeons.

- Ark

- Sleeping stuff.

I don't feel like I'm forgetting something.

(What...? Huh)

When I tried to escape from the darkness, I suddenly began to hear a blur I had never heard before.

(Uh, here... where?

A group of buildings looking up, dim skies, gorgeously decorated signs, large scrambled intersections, people dressed in tidy clothes going between them, lots of laughter.

What was in front of me was the sight of the village of Hashi, but also the unlikely king capital that it was developing.

(Which means... in a previous life, a city near some station?... another dream from a previous life, then)

It was such a place that showed up in front of Ruth.

A city that naturally lived mixed up in this in its previous life, but now has a vibrant and cold atmosphere that makes it somewhere uncomfortable.

"Ca!"

In such a natural sight in a previous life, suddenly a loud scream sounded. A slight tension runs on people who were indifferent, and the middle of the intersection begins to creep.

(Hey, what?

When I saw those screaming, there was a man there poking a knife at a woman who looked like an adult. There are some men on the man's side who squirm with blood.

The people who noticed it rapidly began to distance themselves from them. Some people take out mobile devices and list them.

"I don't know."

It was my dissatisfaction with the world that a man was screaming for a knife. Reality and delusion mix, and everyone keeps screaming words they can't understand.

The excited voice escalates, and the knife poking at the woman's cheek slowly stabs her in the skin. The woman turned bright blue and could not move, and the man who was bleeding was immobile.

(We have to stop it. - Ah)

Ruth tried to scratch people off, but found out that the body she was supposed to bump into would slip through people. I also approached women and excited men, but I couldn't even get a voice to touch them.

I understood that I did not exist “here” to feel like I had become a spirit body.

"You guys are!

A man roughs up his voice again. The man's eyes don't know where he's looking. It seemed confusing. That raised more people's fears.

(Why are you dreaming like this? But I need to help that woman - who, the knight, not the police?)

The moment Ruth looked around, there was someone who caught my eye softly.

(Hikaru......?

There was a young man who stopped and didn't move as the circle of people grew apart, mainly the rampaging man.

Short hair with bumpy hair, lean body, unfamiliar hoodie with the appearance of a jean. Clear somewhere in the neighborhood with an unpleasant look, dark, sunken eyes. When Takashi and I broke up with each other, he looked alike but didn't look alike, but Ruth quickly found out that he was Miyamoto Light.

He watched a man wielding a knife with dim eyes - but he laughed inadvertently small.

(Mr. Light, eh, hey)

The light suddenly ran to the man with the knife.

(Mr. Light!?

To an incredible sight, Ruth screams on the spot, but naturally he can't hear.

The light, which made the dark eyes giraffe, flies into the hand with the knife of the man who was turning back.

"Hey, what's up? Damn you! You're making fun of me, too."

He was a man who was accidentally flown away, but when he saw the appearance of a small, skinny light, he was alarmed for a moment.

But the movement of light was quicker and more accurate than I thought. Twisting his hand with a knife, kicking a woman who was unable to move and letting her go of the man, he leads her straight into a working relationship with the man.

(Mr. Kwong!

Still, there was a difference between the light that made me thinner than before and the weight in a middle-bodied man. Over time, I can see that it's getting pushed.

"That kid, he, he needs to help..."

People around me noticed the movement of light and saw it approaching. I guess I had the courage to move him, but that figure is still far off.

Ugh.

"Ahhh!

When the light leaked a groan, his body swayed. Blood overflowed from his abdomen and a woman on his side screamed.

(That man, he had another bottle!

The light, which had been stabbed in the flank by a man's knife that had been hidden, was shaken off by the man as his arm weakened. The man who felt superior kicks down the light.

"This guy..."

"- No more."

The man tried to stab the light as it was, but the people around him jumped at once to the man.

Soon the man was seized by the people around him and the cops who finally showed up.

"Yes, someone, this child!

"Ambulance -"

People rushing to the falling light. A perimeter where the silence like the time has stopped dissolves and becomes noisy all at once.

From the body of light, a tremendous amount of blood spreads to the surrounding area.

(No... if there's so much blood...)

Even if the results were known, Ruth now had no choice but to stare at the sight.

The light that was lying on my back surrounded by people around me whines with a satisfied face somewhere.

"... me, now it's time to play the part of people... I just did"

I can hear the people around me doing their best to keep the light alive in the distance.

"If I can see you again, this time..."

He seemed to regain his original brilliance only for a moment, on the verge of closing the eyes of the light, which were dark in colour.

"- Ha!

Ruth jumped up on the spot.

I look around while breathing rough, but it's dark and I don't see it well. But with the feel of the futon and the smell of the surroundings, I realized that it was my room, not the intersection of my previous life where I was until just now. Apparently, he woke up from a dream of his previous life.

"What a dream..."

Unlike yesterday, I dreamed I'd feel bad even after I woke up. Ruth's body is drenched in sweat, even though it's a cool season.

(to Mr. Kwong...... no way that happened? So, but it's a dream...)

A light broken up with filial piety and death. Ruth can't know what happened to him after that. Again, I don't have anything to prove that what I dream is true.

Still, I couldn't help but feel something about Ruth being able to see the sight that Takashi couldn't have seen. It's just imaginary, because I felt the content was biased.

"Hmm... what's up, Ruth?

You noticed Ruth repeatedly breathing rough, and you found Alec waking up and waking up his body.

"Oh, no... a bit of a weird dream..."

"Weird dreams? Is that what you've been telling me about your past life dreams?

Alec, up in the dark, touches Ruth's body as he worries.

The warmth of his hand made him feel his trembling body calm.

"You're sweating, and your body's cold. Wasn't that a pretty bad dream?

As soon as I said that, there was a light in the dark room. An orange blurry light appears in Ruth's eyes.

(Sorcery......)

A calm light made of witchcraft illuminates Ruth, lit at Alec's fingertips. It was the moment I took a deep breath in its warmth.

"Eh!"

Ruth took a breath in Alec's face, which he saw before the light.

(hi, kah...... ru, mr......!?

There was not Alec, but the “light” face that had fallen earlier with blood.

I've seen it many times in my previous life's dreams, and the face I see all over women narrows my eyebrows worryingly.

"Nah...... why!?

"Hey, hey? Hey, what's up? Ruth, hey?

The light waves in front of Ruth's face. Then...

"Huh... ah...?

The face of the light was back to “Alec” 's.

Golden hair, gentle green eyes, and familiar men, were as usual. It's Alec's unquestionable face.

(Yes, now, what...?

The more painful the heart pulses.

As it turned out, I guess it was Ruth's eye illusion. I was thinking about the light until earlier, so maybe my head didn't switch well.

(Yes, that's what I'm talking about. I must have fallen asleep. Alec and Kwong don't look alike at all... I had some weird dreams, so I'm sure...)

But I felt bad for some reason. A harsh sensation accumulates at the bottom of my stomach, like being strangled with a cotton. What the hell is this feeling I can't tell you...

……

"Ruth. Maybe you're not feeling well? Bad, I'm not good at recovering from the disease system. Wait a minute, wake up an expert (Eliza) right now -"

"- Wait, wait, wait!

Noticing Alec trying to get up to wake his buddy Eliza, Ruth hurries and pulls back.

"Yes, I'm fine. Hey, I was just surprised by your dream."

So Ruth embraced Alec's body.

(This is definitely Alec)

The thickened body, the thickness of the arms that turn to Ruth's back, and the low, slightly sweet, masculine voice all reassure him that they do not match the light.

It's definitely Ruth's lover, Alec Gala, who's here. It's not light. I missaw it earlier because I had such a shocking dream and my head was confused.

"... is that true?

"Sorry, it was such a weird dream."

When Ruth said so, Alec let go of his body and peered into his face.

"What kind of dream is that?

"It's no big deal."

"You don't look like that. Tell me. Maybe a little refreshing, huh?

Alec gently stroked his cheek, hugging Ruth's body with his opposite hand. I suddenly felt sorry for the way you were seriously worried about me.

(... pathetic. From now on, Alec and I will dive into the final dungeon and make a scene with one dream...)

Basically, Ruth consults Alec, but he has his pride as a man. I didn't feel like putting an extra burden on my lover who was making a scene about to dream and accomplish a feat. It wouldn't be the right time to talk about it.

(Besides, the content is subtle...)

Hikaru Miyamoto, the person Takashi helped in his previous life - the kind of dream that conveyed his aftermath was never what he wanted to tell others.

The light seemed quite old from the time the filial piety died, but would still be old enough not to reach the thirties. That's how he gets caught up in an urban incident, stabbed to death by the killer - what a disgusting dream.

Ruth also knew that saying "nothing" to Alec, who worried so far, would not forgive him. I have no choice but to lie like that.

"As a matter of fact, I dreamed of being chased around by three adult boreals."

"... three borrowers?

"Yes. So, I woke up grabbing it and getting it burned round."

"Round roast... that's a nasty dream for sure..."

Alec looks disgusted convinced by Ruth's explanation. It would be an unpleasant dream to be hunted by Boreal, who is always in a position to hunt. Ruth also felt subtle with her mouth.

Talking to Alec for a while afterwards, I was feeling calm, and when I realized it, I was sleeping again.
