Become A Human In Another World
ACT 1: Chapter 13 - Signs of Disaster
"Hooii! Is it so painful that it can't be told?" I really don't know what to do.
On the contrary, I tried to pull a cloth object like a handkerchief, and tried to wipe his tears.
"No! Me, I just. Be happy! No one's been listening to me all this time."
"They're all just vilifying me. They all set me up. Just take me in on their cunning plan!" He said quietly while wiping his tears.
"But I met the manager, and now I meet you. That feels good!" he smiled while tilting his head.
Ahh, it looks like I have triggered a flag with him. I know it!
But let. I'm just a 6-year-old who doesn't understand what! I wouldn't be able to say I know such a thing! Ha ha!
"Well then, are you going to tell me?" ask again.
"Good!" he nodded hard.

So in short, he is a former retainer of the Kin kingdom, the kingdom where we live now.
He was one of the best knights in the job, who had a level above 50. Therefore, there is a "Former Knight" in the title.
Because of her skills, she was appointed to escort the princess of this kingdom.
But, after a few months, there were many female knights who did not like to see that. They're planning something bad here, putting the princess in harm's way, and blaming it all on Rumia.
From here he got the title "Slandered", or slandered.
And here, the princess has also said not to bring it up again. But, her brother, this young prince of Kin kingdom, did not let her be so.
He's sentenced to death for Rumia!
I was a little suspicious that this brother has a sister complex tendency, but I didn't want to get dizzy.
This brother of his with his authority as crown prince wanted Rumia executed. But, the princess kindly asked Rumia to escape in order to survive.
Hearing Rumia escape, the prince imposes a fugitive sentence on Rumia, and makes her deserving of the death penalty on the spot if found.
I know at least now. The first prince has a bastard nature here. Not just siscon.
It's good not to approach the royal family. Because dealing with nobles would be something exhausting!
And thanks to that, Rumia's life is not safe. He kept running, avoiding everyone who was hunting him just for the reward. They were not willing to listen to Rumia, even after Rumia had informed her of the title she had obtained.
And this is where he ran continuously, until he finally starved and entered this store. He met the manager of this store. He was very good, when the manager used [Evaluator] on Rumia.
At that moment, Rumia was already unable to move anymore. He could only stop at that time. And apparently, this manager treated him well, even allowing him to stay there.
He was shocked then, and told his manager everything.
From then on, Rumia considered her manager as her mother, and the manager had a special race skill, Dwarf. They had the [Replacement] skill that could change a person's name and status.
With that, he changed the name Rumia Eldorbach to Rury, and hired ya here.

I can see why he's like that. He was already trying to become an honorable knight, and only because of slander did he fall to the point where he had to be killed.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know that it would be hard for you to tell me," I also lowered my head, feeling his sadness flowing over me.
"No no! I'm glad I could tell you! I told you, earlier! I'm happy!" back, she smiled sweetly.
And this is his real smile. Not made.
"You're sweet to smile really. Very different from your fake smile you showed me earlier," I said as I thought.
Maybe that's what people often say when comforting sad people, right?
But for some reason, she held onto her cheeks, and sparkling eyes and a face that was flushed red like a fever. I'll try not to know what happened, but it looks like the atmosphere is starting to turn awkward.
"Oh yeah by the way Rumia, I want to ask you something!" I said try to get into my main request.
"I want you to take care of Suzu! I might be able to keep her at home, but I can't keep her outside. So I want you to take care of her, because she already thinks of you as a friend, Rumia!" said asked.
"Friends, huh?" he just mumbled slowly.
"Honestly, I had the chance to feel a sharp glare that had evil intentions towards Suzu, so I was worried about her" I said continuing the story.
Instantly, Rumia's expression changed, becoming serious.
"When did that happen?" He was so serious that I dared not answer in a joking manner.
"From the beginning we were out of the house." Rumia closed her eyes, seemingly beginning to fidget.
He immediately got up, left me and went to the back. Before long she came back in casual clothes and someone like a manager behind her.
"What's this about? What was? Seems like there's a serious problem? Also, Suzu has not returned from the toilet! What's going on, hey! What's up?!" I was a little panicked to see all this.
But he remained silent, then chatted with the manager behind him.
"Don't ignore me!" I screamed in anger, panicked.
"Listen and calm down. At the end of this there is a case of child abduction, and there is a possibility that your sister, Suzu, is also targeted. The reason is, the manager's granddaughter, Shia has also been kidnapped," she said holding my shoulder, calming me down.
"Behaved earlier? Hmh!" don't tell?!
Ahh, why am I this stupid?! I should have looked after him! Damnit damnit!
"Where are you going? Wouldn't we be together? You don't know this town very well!" he shouted as I was in the doorway.
"No! It's an emergency! Better and faster for us to split up like this!" I don't think I'm calm now?
"Fuck shit! I've felt it from the beginning, but I'm not alert! And I let go of my guard on Suzu! Damn it!!!" I cursed my mistake.
"I have to hurry! Otherwise, it would be a disaster!" I ran with all my might trying to look around the city, looking for Suzu.
"Suzu, where are you?!" I'm getting worried.
