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

"Is it true that Ruth is here!?

It was Ruth and the other four men who jumped into the room.

"Daniel, Marianne, Fritz, Colt...!?

At the appearance of the four friends who were supposed to have been in the village, Ruth shouted in surprise, but more surprised were the four people who heard the voice.

"Eh... to the doll!? Voice, now, Ruth's voice!?

Looking at the four consternation expressions, Ruth felt that he failed to speak out. If I kept quiet, I pretended to be a floral doll and deceived him, but I have to explain now. I saw Cyrus sighing loudly.

(Do you think I can deceive you now?

Ruth thought about it, but Daniel shouted earlier.

Speaking of which, Cyrus looked like a doll before, right? No way, this doll.... "

"Ah, ahh, that's right...."

Cyrus presses his temples with a headache. Speaking of which, Danielle saw Cyrus in the shape of a floral doll. I couldn't fool around any more.

"What do you mean?

Loose, who found it difficult to conceal, decided to teach them only the gist.

"Oh, my God, Ruth's body."

"It's gone? Seriously...."

"Someday you'll be back, right?

In answer to Colt's question, Ruth could only shake his head.

I don't know what happened to Ruth's body anymore. Given this pressing situation, it will be difficult to get back to normal.

Moreover, Ruth's spirit did not return directly to the body when Natasha helped her return her soul to this world. Because the structure of the human body pulls out the heart, which is an important function.

Based on the above, even if my body was safe somewhere, I could only think of the answer that I could not go back.

The faces of the four people who heard the reply were naturally cloudy.

That's why you're so cute, Ruth.

"Marianne...."

Marianne's hand gently stroked Ruth's hair, and her expression was filled with sadness. I'm glad Ruth was alive, but I'm afraid I can't hide the upset that he's not human.

"I've heard about Alec, and why all of a sudden..."

"Goddamn."

"I hope he's okay too...."

Daniel, Fritz and Colt frowned.

"Everyone...."

Everyone seems to know about Alec. However, the details have not been communicated, and it seems to have been conveyed in the form of "trapped in the emerging building".

(But that's good enough.....)

You don't have to bother to confuse them by telling them about the management, the mission, or the headaches.

"... are you okay with that life..."

"Yeah, I can talk now, and I can move my body a lot."

Ruth shook his arm slightly and Danielle raised her eyebrows when she asked a question.

"Isn't it a bit clumsy?

"I'm not used to the body yet. But you know Daniel, Mr. Silas was free to move. Someday you'll be able to move like that."

"I know, but... but are you really still a doll, you..."

Still, Danielle's regretful expression didn't go away.

You'll be concerned to hear that your friend has become a doll and has to live his life.

"Calm down, he... Dr. Thomas thinks a lot about it. It's difficult right away, but it's not impossible to have a body like mine.... well, after all, I'm not a person."

"Can Ruth return to being like Cyrus... really!?

Ruth was a novice, but he listened silently to Cyrus.

"Oh, it's true. So don't look so sad. You don't know what Ruth can say, do you? It's about me."

"Ah... bad. That's right, that's what you care about. It was careless."

"Yes, Daniel, that's fine."

Unusual Daniel lowered his head, and Ruth was confused. Rather, I was glad to see that he was so worried about Ruth.

"Well, why are Daniels on this ship? You're more surprised!

Ruth asked with a purposeful and bright voice to change everyone's dark expression.

"It's not cool that you're the only one on this awesome boat helping out with Geo or something, but we're just taking refuge in another city."

Danielle stood up from the couch with her nose snorted and turned away.

Fritz and Marianne approached Ruth gently among the three who laughed bitterly at the appearance.

"... Danielle's guys, Celine, told me they couldn't see Ruth, and I was really worried. So when Cyrus told me that Ruth was on this ship, he told me to get on, and I started negotiating on my own."

"That was a lot of momentum. We were surprised."

"Hmm...."

Ruth was surprised at Daniel's unexpected behavior. And I'm impressed that you're such a good friend to worry about.

(Everyone around me is really nice....)

The feeling of sinking at the meeting just now has recovered a little.

"But why Marianne?

"I'm going to study with my father, so come ride with me....."

"Hmm....?

There may not be a direct danger to my life, but I was a little surprised by the village chief who put my daughter on this boat, even though he might approach the ark.

My mouth and attitude are bad. Basically it's the village mayor with only a few elements, but I thought my daughter Marianne was kind of cute.

But Fritz corrects Marianne's words a little bit.

"Well, it was in front of the building, and the port of Warriors was a mess for a lot of refugees. I don't suppose the village chief wanted to leave his daughter there... because if he finds out that he has spirits, he's likely to use them somehow."

Oh, is that so?

Karen and the others told me that, no matter how many brave people asked for acceptance, Hashi Village alone has nearly 100 people. Ruth doesn't know how big a city Warriors is, but if many evacuees suddenly enter the city, confusion will be inevitable.

And the sky is dyed in purple, and upon the mountain you can see the ark, and in some places there is a struggle. There's no way I'm going anywhere near it. A riot could happen. I also felt like I understood the kindness of the village chief who didn't want to leave his daughter there. A ship with Cyrus, who had saved the village before, would have felt safer with a brave crew.

"Me and Colt were half forced to escort Marianne... I wish Paria and May had come, but I couldn't. I had to entrust it to your brother Clark."

Fritz turns his face in regret. He might have wanted to stay in town, but he said to Paria and May, "If you can ride, you'd better!" With a glittering eye, she decided to board the ship. There was also the idea that food and other problems might be solved at all without me. Colt - Marianne would naturally come aboard.

"What are the four of you doing on the boat?

"Well, we were surprised....."

Fritz is holding his head with a sigh. It is unusual for Fritz to imagine an approximate situation and never say "unexpected". I don't know if I was watching Fritz or just wanting to talk, but Danielle came back to the couch and talked a little excited.

We're on the bridge now.

"What? A bridge? A bridge? A bridge?... are you moving this ship?

Ruth asked surprisingly at the unexpected story and Danielle shook her hands in a hurry.

"No, no, I haven't done that yet.... it feels like you're doing that right now, right? I've been told that I might be able to move if I run out of manpower eventually..."

"How could you do that?

"That's why I have a contract with Tiana."

"Dear Tiana... or Marianne?

Ruth shouted at the increasingly unbelievable story.

Tiana is the superior Spirit who protects Marianne. He was just born and still looks like a 5-6-year-old child, but he specializes in defensive magic, and they were also very active in the previous incident in Hashi village. Without them, I don't know what happened to Hashi village.

"But how do you know it's going to move this ship?

"It seems that Tiana's power is commensurate with her ability to move this ship."

"You said the wavelength was good. This ship uses magic to direct its hull. If Marianne tells you, what is its transmission rate and magic efficiency? It seems to be good, and finally it moves better than normal."

"But Marianne doesn't like being on the bridge alone."

"We're training together."

"... because all the strangers... they were Ojisan."

The three Daniels, with Marianne's hopes and her daughter's orders from the village chief, have similarly entered the bridge and learned how to move the ship.

The magicians who are moving this ship are far more powerful than Daniel's, but they wanted to get someone to move the ship, even if they were weak, as they might go to battle if they wanted to.

There were many things I hadn't experienced in the village before at the bridge, and the conversation was very exciting.

"--Look, that's it!

Cyrus clapped his hands and poured water into Ruth's conversation.

"So, you guys, can we stay here forever? Did you get permission from the captain?

Hearing that voice, the four of them looked reluctant.

"Ah, yabe...."

"I heard about Ruth from Celine and the others in the hallway and came here in a hurry...."

"I came to the cafeteria just to take a break... Captain, I'm worried, so I might be able to make dinner shorter if I don't get back soon."

"I can't help it. I can't help it."

The four of them stood up sighing at Daniel's voice. Ruth sat on the desk and waved at the four of them.

"Bye, Ruth."

"Let's talk about it again!

"You should be able to move a little more yourself."

"It's not like that outfit doesn't suit me either, but dress up like a man if you can... I'm confused."

"Haha... I'll ask you if you have any other clothes."

Ruth answered Daniel's unspeakable expression, thinking, "I don't think the skirt is good after all." At the end, the door closed slowly.

"I'm glad... everybody's normal."

Cyrus strokes Ruth's head staring at the door as he says so.

"Yes... all the people around me are very kind... good."

The four of them couldn't hide their surprise and asked if they could not return, but until recently they were normal human beings, but Ruth, who had become a talking doll, was treated normally without being creepy.

It would be very grateful to both parents. If I was scared or obviously disliked, I wouldn't know what to do in the future.

Are you going home?

"Yes, thank you."

Alec's rescue was undecided - in such a depressed talk, the feeling of falling to the bottom of the earth was slightly revived.

(Don't stop thinking for everyone who's worried....)

I know I can't help Ruth directly without a lot of power, but I'm sure he can do something about it. I'm sure there's something Ruth can do to save Alec, even in the worst of circumstances.
