Kirokan

I was looking through the chapter, and wow! The extended script has more dialogue with more of the characters contributing. I still don't clearly see what Jarod's "ruse" may have been, but the Japanese says:

"なんでもお見通しってわけか "

I would translate it as "It's like you can really read my mind!" [and hence see everything I have planned] I think "ruse" came about since " お見通し " is primarily used for "seeing through a trick" or ruse. (it literally means "see through"). So if translating out of context and knowing it's simply a villain speaking, this would make sense.

However, when we do consider the context, the fact he was noticed despite hiding means it was more likely he was remarking on how it's like she could hear his thoughts, or "reading his mind."

I hope that helps explain it! Micaiah's ability may have detected him somehow, or she's just sharp.

I really want to go translate this extended script more than ever when I get time though. On the net people have translated parts 3/4 but not 1 as much... and now I'm seeing there's quite a bit here too... I just need time!

But did Jarod call Micaiah clever in the Japanese script? 

I think I understand the scenario after thinking about it deeply. Jarod's plan was to wait in the forest with Laura so that the Dawn Brigade searching for her will eventually lead them to Jarod. Micaiah realized this and had the group split up and had them rendezvous at a location away from Jarod's. She was willing to sacrifice herself for Laura and the Dawn Brigade's sake because she was more important to Begnion so she thought Begnion would leave Laura alone. Of course, the smarter thing to do was to tell the rest of the Dawn Brigade but she intentionally kept this a secret because they wouldn't come back for Laura if that were the case. 

Thanks for looking into it!

You are correct! It's more obvious in Japanese too that she purposefully goes out of her way to make the group split up so she can go alone.

Jarod indeed says she's clever like English. Well, as "clever as they say." More literally, as "sharp (in intuition) as the rumors say." That part in English is a pretty accurate translation. : )
