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

Something warm touches the body to protect it from the chilling air. When the plush snuggled comfortably, I heard a laugh in my ear.

I open my eyes when I realize that the voice belongs to Alec.

"Are you awake? Ruth."

"Alec............? Why are you so close...?

When questioning Alec's face at a diagonal close distance, he realized that his surroundings were dim and white walls. Similar to the scenery when you made the beak and played.

(snow... ah... yes, to my avalanche)

Eventually, the thought that was boisterous becomes clear gradually.

Ruth could not escape the wave of snow flowing from the mountain, and should have been swallowed up as it was.

"Ah, Alec, where are we!? Could it be in the snow?

With that much mouth, Ruth checked his surroundings. If you look closely, not just the front, but the left and right are surrounded by snow as well. I tried to move my legs but I just can't shake them up because they feel stiff.

Everything around me is white, hard to tell up, down, left and right, but I feel gravity from the left, so I'm sure it's buried with Alec lying down in the snow. I feel Alec's arm under my hips and on my back, so apparently it's in the form of a hug.

"Relax, Ruth, I'm here, so don't worry."

"I'm here too, rather why Alec! Didn't you run under the cliff!?

"Put you down, there's no way I'm running away on my own."

Alec says it all with a natural look on his face. But with that word, I realized that Alec must have gotten away with it alone, but he got involved with Ruth because he helped him.

I would almost be impressed by Alec's kindness in my friendship thoughts, but I realized it was the worst situation ahead of it.

"... well, yes, no, no, no, breathe!

If you get caught in an avalanche, the first thing you have to think about is securing the air. Physical injuries can occur, but more importantly, the most common cause of death when caught in an avalanche is suffocation. If it is buried in snow, it is difficult to secure oxygen, if you do not create an air pocket, it will only hold about thirty minutes, the wasted knowledge of previous life complains.

You can't let Alec die in a place like this, and somehow Alec smiled as Ruth tried to reach for the snow beside him to grab that hand and reassure him.

"Ruth, calm down. Don't worry, I can breathe. I'll be fine for hours, days."

"Eh, how many days!? …… well, what do you mean?

Asking a frightening question to keep him from breathing as much as possible, Alec strokes his back to calm him with a gentle laugh. The hand was very warm and calmed Ruth's mood, which was full of haste.

"In the meantime, when I went to the Temple of the Seabed, I taught him how to breathe without air."

"Is? ……………… the seabed, the temple?

When he heard about the aberrations in the activity of the submarine volcano and visited the investigation, he said he met a species of subpeople, the fish people (probably mermaids). And when I helped them out of the demons, they invited me to be the queen of the fishermen living in the temple of the sea floor because they wanted to thank me. Subsequently, the problem of the submarine volcano was solved and, as a result, a great deal of trust was gained from the Queen and various techniques and equipment were conceded.

This technique, taught from such a stream, seems to be the technique of wearing a membrane around what you specify and pumping oxygen into that space. I'm not sure about the details, but even though I do snuggle with Alec, it's buried in the snow, but there's a slight gap around it. Maybe this is what Alec is talking about.

(The Temple of the Seabed, the art of breathing even in the sea... Alec is a brave man after all...)

I'm supposed to live the same time talking about what was a game in my previous life, but it feels like some distant world word.

But if Alec is fighting with such an experience, it must not be a far world story for Ruth. If Ruth, his best friend, takes it right and doesn't understand, Alec will have a hard time coming back to the village.

"It's amazing, Alec is. Thanks for your help."

"It's obvious."

I didn't realize it because I was in such a hurry until earlier, but Ruth didn't seem injured or hurt after being attacked by such a chunk of snow. I'm sure that's because of Alec, too. Alec laughed a little smelly when he thanked him for it.

Ruth's face is a little young when she's in the village, even though she's beyond her imagination.

(That was amazing earlier...... it's my usual Alec when I'm doing this...... sounds weird)

Alec became extraordinarily knowledgeable when he was in the village and Ruth showed incredible strength. I also feel that the chest plates and arms I am touching are more successful than before. It is proof that we are growing steadily and becoming the valiant Alec of the world, not the village youth Alec.

But yet the smile that stares at Ruth is nothing different than where I was in the village.

(It sucks that I got caught in an avalanche, but I'm glad Alec's here)

Ruth's cheeks loosened naturally, feeling sexually happy about why.

After talking for a while, I realized I didn't have to rush out of the snow.

Alec said the two are buried pretty deep. I'm sure Ruth would have totally suffocated if he was alone. Depth. But if Alec is here, it seems he can get out on his own.

Sometimes, however, the breathing technique is unfolding and it seems necessary to take a short break. Alec said he could automatically restore the magic he consumed even if he was lying down a little bit. So we talked about not having to rush either, and when we were ready we decided to get out of the snow.

As for Ruth, who can't seem to scratch out the snow with his own power, there's no objection to waiting for Alec to recover.

"But you're amazing, too."

"What?

"You were dealing with that molten demon until I got here, weren't you?

"When I was fighting, it wasn't like that yet. It was a little more people-like, and I think that's why"

"Still. I told you, 'you can't handle it with an adventurer in line'. A melting demon is not a level opponent that ordinary people can resist. It's amazing that you're not even a senior adventurer."

"Right...?

"That's true. You don't have a special status like me, you don't have a brave man, but you can fight. You're amazing."

Purely praised by Alec, who is stronger than anyone else, Ruth is going to nibble. I thought I wasn't very strong because of Alec and my father Rossa on my side from a young age, but maybe I wasn't.

Normally, you'd be belly-up if a friend told you this, but it's not because Alec has the strength of a misdigit, either. On the contrary, I'm a little happy to get compliments.

I didn't need a lot of people to know that it was hard, but I was more than happy that Alec would understand.

"But Alec got stronger, too."

"… do you?

"Oh. I'm surprised to see you punching me with that fist. You never used to fight with your fists, did you?

"Well, there's a lot going on and you've been coached..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Of course. That was cool."

When Ruth praised him honestly, Alec moved his mouth with a moggy whilst swimming his gaze. Usually you say, "Right?" About is rare to say. Weird attitude, but maybe it's really lit up from the red cheeks.

"Speaking of which, it was amazing that you flew out of the first sky. Is that some kind of trick, too?

"Oh, that is............! That's right, that bastard........."

Alec came down from the sky when Ruth and the molten demon were fighting. I thought you used some kind of technique as well, but they don't. When I tightened the look that was illuminated earlier, I looked abominably.

"Well, once I got to your house with metastatic magic, I followed you and they grabbed me by the collar and threw me."

"I got thrown!? Alec did? To who?

If you fail to resist Alec, who has the power of a brave man, it's a long way off. Instead of letting them resist if you're a concurrent person, it should even be difficult to catch them. That's best known to Ruth, who stopped chasing Alec when he was ten.

"I was in your house, that shitty aura unleashing black demon bastard"

"Eh...... suck aura black demon tribe?

There is no such thing as a black demon within the reminiscence of Ruth. But when I combined the words Alec's diagonal behavior of grabbing and throwing at the root, suck aura, black, a borough-astew-loving man floated.

"Could that be...... tall, dark hair, a little eye-catching from the top?

"Oh, he's the bastard releasing that red-eyed giraffed aura. He grabbed my collar and threw it into the sky. If it wasn't for me, I'd be fainting at that speed... well, it turns out I made it to you."

The look on Alec's face like that was "okay," but he didn't seem very convinced.

(Oh, but Mr. Wonok was a demon...)

Though I didn't think it was the only one, it was unexpected that I was a Demon. But if you look at that strength, you can be sure it doesn't seem like you're just a human being. Besides, it would be too much for Alec to say "suck" with his face up.

(Alec doesn't say he sucks when he meets Bal in the middle of a hunt... it seems rather fun sometimes)

That's what Alec is saying in his mouth, which means Wonok is more than Bal. It's comparable to a Class A demon - no, maybe it's more than that.

(That said, Mr. Wonok...)

I don't know if I should laugh at the story of throwing humans into the sky like Wonok.

Besides, Alec was also Alec, and at the speed he was thrown as it was, he flew straight to Ruth and landed safely. Whether you throw or can throw, it's beyond Ruth's imagination and I don't know where to start putting the scratch.

"Ruth, why is there such a mess in your house?... Well, I'm glad he was treating the kid who was falling naked, his little mother, and he didn't have any hostility. You've never been in one of those villages before, have you?

"Oh, that is.............................................................."

When Ruth told him what had happened to him today, Alec looked rather sinister and silenced him.

It may be natural because this case is unlikely to be considered in a peaceful village until now.

"I know how that man was. Well, if you're not the enemy. I don't want to deal with him yet."

"Is Mr. Wonok that strong?

"............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. If you're serious... well..."

Rarely did Alec cloud his words. Ruth's gaze seems uncomfortable over it. It's a rare reaction, but Ruth can tell by years of experience. This is how I react when I'm not sure. In other words, Alec is not so sure he can beat Wonok.

(... What the hell is Mr. Wonok really?

I did feel that it was not normal when Wonok's hair color changed, but maybe he really is a hell of a person when this happens.

Since Ruth is a normal person, I don't know how good she is as much as Alec, but I thought she might be happier.

(... Could this be the kind of reaction you were anticipating, Mr. Wonock, changing the color of your hair or something?

Wonok's atmosphere changed and even Ruth thought it was a little scary after her hair and eyes changed color. If it had been that way when we first met, we might not have been able to speak as lightly as we do now, and it would have floated around in the village. Of course, it was floating when the doll was stinging, but I still didn't feel as strong an aura as when I had dark hair.

But I don't know the truth until I ask Wonok himself.

(But normally, the presence of a growing brave man (Alec) who just sees him at first sight and thinks he's no match -)

The opponent you can never defeat at at the beginning. A presence that always afflicts the brave. And a threat that a brave man can't defeat without raising his abilities to their limits.

(No way. I heard about the Demons, but they usually seem to get along with humans. I've never heard the name of that existence.)

It's not a game of my previous life, so I shook my head in a panic that there was no way that it existed. Thanks. If you have extra knowledge, your thoughts tend to be too biased. It would be too simple a thought to stick to that being because Alec looked up.

"Talk about that bastard is good...... more than that, Ruth"

"Hmm?"

"Did that molten demon really tell you, 'God is after my life'?

Ruth remembered what was said in the inn.
