Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

A month passed since I met Latifah and left Amando.

Currently, Rio and Latifah are out of the realm of the Kingdom of Galarc and into the depths of the undeclared lands.

"Brother! Lunch! What!?

At the lunch break, Latifah smiled and asked Rio what the lunch was about.

"I don't make anything really elaborate at noon. Enough to process a preserved meal into a sandwich at best."

Rio replies bitterly to the appetizing Latifah.

It was Latifah who looked frightened at first, but he became a lot brighter as he dealt with Rio in the past month.

I miss Rio so much on the road, that at some point, I'm starting to call him, brother, about Rio.

"Your brother's cooking! I like everything because it's delicious!

Now the words are becoming a little clearer.

Having a conversation with Rio and growing mouth count, he suddenly began to learn to pronounce it.

"I'm going to sleep with your brother today! Okay?"

Latifah has been sleeping with Rio as he peeks into Rio's face as he begins to make sandwiches.

Latifah is often done while asleep.

Sometimes it's bad enough to cry out.

It is also significant that Rio gave up Latifah, who is letting his body shake into small pieces in the middle of the night to frighten him into something, that Latifah has become nostalgic for Rio.

Nowadays I'm hugging Rio like every night.

Latifah wouldn't have done it if he had slept with Rio in his arms.

"... oh, fine"

Rio was worried about the status quo.

Initially, I didn't mean to allow you to get so close.

It is not strange that we are already in the territory of the Beastmen.

That way comes the farewell to Latifah.

But if you realize, it's not too late, Latifah was dependent on Rio.

Imagine when you told a girl you were a reincarnator in this state, it was frightening.

Is that a habit stained with slavery, or have you drowned in the kindness you touched in the recoil of what you have always lived alone?

In any case, Rio was concerned that Latifah would not leave easily when goodbye came as it was.

(Well, still, the guide. Maybe it's easy to leave...)

Like ridicule somewhere, Rio lied inside.

The breakup between people is abrupt.

No matter how close we are to each other, no matter how much we reject it, there are times when we cannot avoid it.

And at that time, mutual thoughts are never worth it.

No matter how much one keeps thinking about the other, it doesn't necessarily mean the other keeps thinking about me.

More or less, people are like that, Rio thinks.

So don't miss goodbye.

Don't feel excessive towards them.

Don't expect them.

Rio told himself that at least he shouldn't spare a goodbye from himself.

"And I knew that tree was so big!

Latifah has spoken to Rio as if to bring Rio back into reality, who was immersed in thought.

Latifah points to a giant great tree far away from the gap between the trees.

"Right. I don't think it's just a tree..."

It wasn't until yesterday that I realized that it existed.

In a vast forest so distracting, there was a potpourri and a giant tree.

At first it only looked like a small tower from a distance, but as I approached it I was realizing its size and presence.

As if piercing the sky, it emits an overwhelming presence, and the tree stands.

For some reason Rio was attracted to the tree.

Rio feels an unspeakable sense of mind.

"Want to go a little closer?

"Yeah! I want to go!

I might as well stop by.

I thought so and asked Latifah, and she smiled and instantly responded.

"Then why don't you go after lunch? Look, we got it."

When he gave Latifah the sandwich he had made while we were in conversation, Latifah began to cheek it happily.

Look at that. Rio starts eating too.

The bread of preserved foods is stiffer than the French bread, but if you are going to add ingredients and eat them flavorfully, they are toothy and not quite thrown away.

Satisfied with the way it was done, and after a few minutes or so of eating the sandwich, Rio and Latifah began moving towards the giant tree.

"Brother! There's a smell I don't know anything about right here! That's more than one!

Latifah mentioned that a few hours after the start of the trip, as usual, things were going well while running.

"Smell I don't know? Are you an animal or not a demon?

"No. The smell of those creatures feels more twisted. I'm a little different from people who haven't washed their bodies yet."

I'm not sure what I want to tell you, but Rio decided that there seemed to be some sort of standard in Latifah.

"Can't you identify what that is to some extent?

"... mixed together like people are dense, unlike humans. But it seems a little similar......, I feel like I miss something. Not your mother, but like that."

Latifah's words get no guidelines, but his nose hits him so hard that he can't compare to Rio's.

The nose sensed some kind of presence.

I couldn't ignore it.

"Do you know where the Lord of that smell is?

When Rio heard that, Latifah smelled the smell around him.

"Over there! I don't know how far away you are...... But there's only a little smell left, so it's probably been quite a while since I got here."

Upon hearing the words, Rio did the thinking trick and eventually opened his mouth.

"I see. It's a good time, and... let's just keep it that way for now"

"Okay!

Then, Rio and Latifah discovered a suitable camping spot and gathered out the grass as Latifah was accustomed to.

In the meantime, Rio starts cooking away from the camp.

These days this was the division of roles between the two of them.

When Rio added barley to the pan and grinded it in water about a few times, it was transferred once to the other containers and chopped up the ingredients, dried meat, weed and cheese for preservation.

When olive oil was quantitatively added to the pan and set on fire, meat and wild grass were added and sautéed sautéed.

Loosen the barley there by hand and add and saute further.

Add hot water and seasoning where the barley has become clear for a good feeling.

Eventually, when the contents of the pan boil, keep the lid covered and cook strong enough.

Turn off the fire, steam the contents, and if you shake the pepper, it is the completion of the cheese risotto.

"Brother! Smells good!"

It was a familiar sight that the Latifah, who had created the bedding, was caught by the smell when the food was ready.

"I'll wash my hands first."

When Rio created and washed the water with his spiritual art with dirty Latifah hands in the soil, Latifah began eating the food quickly by saying "I'll have it" in small Japanese.

Latifah occasionally speaks Japanese like this in everyday life, but Rio doesn't dare point it out.

The risotto made was qualitative, but it was the finest treat for a camp meal.

"This risotto is delicious!

Risotto is also a dish that, as far as Rio knows, does not exist among the human race in this world, but Latifah, who has never eaten a decent dish of the human race in this world, never finds out about it.

"Thank you. I'm sorry it's always a similar flavor."

Ideally, it should have all the seasonings for the whole of the Japanese Ocean and for each seasoning, but now Rio has only the least amount of seasonings available for Western cuisine.

Rio was still smiling at Latifah, who said it was delicious every day and ate her own meal.

"If I eat that, do I wash my body and go to bed early? You'll be tired and early tomorrow."

"Yeah!"

Latifah smiles and nods.

When they finished their meals, went back to the camp and boiled the water in a washed pan, the two washed their bodies separately in a grassy tent.

I want to take a Japanese-style bath if possible, but I can't say such luxury during my journey.

It would just be better if you never put an unpleasant odor on your body.

"Good night, brother"

In the room where the lights went out and it got dark, Latifah pulled on Rio and said so.

When you strain a part of your nerves and fade your consciousness thinly so that you can sense the anomaly and move instantly, Rio falls asleep, too.

It was a skill I acquired while growing up in a slum to be able to move no matter what happened while I was asleep.

Maybe the experience of being an orphan isn't something to spit on either because that helps with the journey.

And then, Rio didn't know what happened.

I noticed a strange girl in front of Rio.

Was he around sixteen when he was old from the making of his face?

Apparently Rio is knee-pillow.

For whatever reason, Rio was open to the state.

Rio blinks her eyes to see if the girl is real.

No matter how many blinks I blinked, there she was.

Apparently the girl really exists there.

Rio was surprised.

The girl had an inorganic face that had no facial expression, was either oligarchy or had a faint sense of reality.

But that wasn't any drawback.

Because I would have seen such a beautiful and adorable girl once, and I would have felt so.

The beauty is overwhelming and even releases divinity.

No, it's even a good idea to describe it with the word beauty.

Rio thought so.

A poor girl, who should also be such a work of God, looked at Rio's face as she peered in from above.

Two, the girl's long pink blonde hair tickled Rio's hair.

I quibble at it and Rio gently takes his gaze off the girl and looks around.

White, white space.

That was spreading expansively everywhere.

That's a terribly murderous landscape space, Rio thought.

And I wonder why, watching the sight, I felt terribly lonely so that my chest would be scratched.

Somehow, it was terrible, terrible, uncomfortable.

Rio blushed unexpectedly.

Return your gaze to the girl Rio has in front of you so as to divert your attention from the unpleasant.

Who are you?

Then the girl spoke in a mysterious voice with a good ear feel so clear.

- Me? I'm Rio...

Strange. Even if I tried to speak, I didn't have a voice for some reason.

"Rio, Rio..., Rio..."

But the girl seems to have figured out Rio's words.

I never questioned that for any reason.

Staring at Rio's face with a blurred expression, the girl repeatedly murmured as she carved Rio's name.

- Who are you to say that?

Rio uttered his words without speaking again.

'... me? I, I... I don't know'

The girl gave me a troubled look.

- Don't you understand?

"Yeah......"

- Oh well...

The atmosphere that was going to disappear was emanating from the girl, and Rio said so in a voice that cared for the girl and was troubled.

'But if you stay with Rio, you might find out...'

- Me and... together? What do you mean?

When I heard the words, Rio tilted his neck in the way that I didn't understand what the girl was saying.

'Cause I'm connected to you... I feel that way.'

I didn't know what it meant more and more.

But strangely, my heart was warm.

I don't know why, I'm so relieved.

Since when did it seem like this?

If this feels like it will last forever.

With that in mind, Rio smiled softly at his mouth.

"But I'm still sleepy..."

The girl's eyes diminish as if her consciousness is blurred.

Looking into those eyes kind of made Rio sleepy, too.

And then the consciousness fades again, and, dull, Rio opens his eyes.

Vision showed the indoors of a tent filled with grass trees.

I don't know, I felt like I woke up from a very deep sleep.

I also feel like I was dreaming of something.

But I can't remember what my dreams are about.

I thought it tasted bad that I fell asleep deeply, but nothing is unusual.

There seems to be no sign of any dangerous creatures around.

The area is quiet and still dark.

Actually, it was a mistake to be in deep sleep, and Rio wondered if it hadn't been too long.

When I felt the temperature right on my side and looked at you, Latifah was asleep well.

As long as it was enough to leave, it would be okay to cry at night, so Latifah spiritualized her to go to deep sleep, and Rio decided to go outside the tent.

Whatever's going on in the camp, I wander around keeping the distance I can handle right away.

For some reason my mind was very calm.

Night breezes that hit my skin are cold, but just right for waking my head up.

Think about that if it would be a little windy at night to the extent that it doesn't sound tomorrow.

When he found a rock that seemed to sit properly, Rio lowered his hips deeply.

I don't even think of anything in particular, but a blurry and quiet view of the forest.

The forest at night was horribly quiet.

Compared to demons, they are not that likely to be attacked by wild beasts.

If you are an animal with a certain intelligence in the first place, it is normal to avoid combat, except when unavoidable.

Wild beasts attack other animals only if they have certain purposes, such as hunting and child defense, and it's about demons who aggressively set up battles.

Somehow demons are aggressive to other races, but because of their aggressiveness, they do not imitate any signs, so it is possible to notice the moment when they come into the enemy range during these camps.

How long it was in the night breeze, and, uh, Rio sensed signs of coming in pretty deep within his own range of enemy possibilities.

Rio is surprised that he has allowed himself to approach so far.

Signs were very rare compared to the average beast.

(... wolf?

The Lord of Signs comes into Rio's sight.

It was one big wolf emitting a thin, silver light.

There is no sense of wet signs characteristic of the beast, inorganic and impractical.

Rio felt as though it was not an organism.

At the same time, I felt that Rio knew somewhere how to feel similar to this.

Rio sends a jiggly gaze to make sure you don't miss that wolf move.

Then, all of a sudden, the wolf emitted light and a stream of light lit up the surrounding area.

(Shit!

His vision stains bright white and Rio instantly closes his eyes.

Of the five senses, vision was temporarily lost.

But the other five senses are safe.

At that time, suddenly, Rio sensed a presence approaching suddenly inside from outside the enemy range.

There are tons of them too.

Apparently, they were waiting outside, guessing Rio's enemy range.

At some point the signs of the wolf in front of me have completely disappeared.

(This tactical action......, not the beast. Lord of the smell that Latifah was saying)

Rio guessed who the raider was.

And I had also anticipated in advance that they would eventually come in contact.

But I didn't predict it would be quick and aggressive so far.

As Latifah perceived the remnants of their smell, they also perceived the smell of the Rio's from afar, or they noticed the Rio's intrusion in another way, which should not now be considered.

Just in case, Rio instantly moves near the tent where Latifah is sleeping.

"Hey! Wait, you're a sub, right?

When signs of the other person came to the position where the voice would reach, he took control of the tip and Rio made a loud noise.

I don't even have time to be polite in battle.

But if you haven't heard that voice, you're simply ignored, or you don't understand Rio's words, the movement of that group of signs never stops.

(If you're wary of the human race, it's no wonder someone understands the human language. So there's a good chance you're listening and you're daring to ignore it? It doesn't mean they're not who I expected them to be... right)

While we're discussing the situation, the group is still approaching Rio, not murderous but with strong hostility.

There were individuals from among them who protruded as rapidly as possible and approached Rio.

Face that opponent as Rio meditates his eyes.

"Huh!?

Then it conveyed how surprised they were.

But they're still approaching Rio.

Definitely trying to attack Rio.

As soon as the other sign came just before and the hostility grew, Rio carved a step to the side.

Relies on attack sounds, air flow, and predicts that the opponent is unarmed.

It's not like you don't have a weapon, but it doesn't look like you're going to kill him at the moment.

"So wait! What are you, a sub?

Before his opponent could move on to his next offensive, Rio took control of his vanguard and opened his mouth.

Then, from a different position from the person in front of him, someone shouted something in a language that Rio did not know, reacting to that voice and also stopping the movement of the person in front of him.

"I hope you don't call us by that name."

He has then spoken to Rio in the words of the human race.

As I thought, Rio smiles thinly at having someone whose human language speaks.

From the feel of his voice, the other person would be a girl about his age as Rio.

"I'm sorry about that. So what can I call you? Beast Man, Elf, Dwarf"

Rio asks the girl again for her tone.

"... with the people of the Spirit when we bring them together"

To Rio, who apologized lightly, the Lord of the Voice said so briefly.

Rio decides that he is apparently willing to have a conversation.

And I also perceived from the answer now that there would be on this occasion all the races that make up the Spirit's people.

"Then I ask the people of that Spirit. What's your aim?

"I came to repel because the Spirit was making a scene that there was an intrusion into our territory. Looks like you've already abducted one of our own."

And the girl said, staring at that tent where Latifah is sleeping.

Because of the strong animosity attached to the dialogue in the second half, he apparently mistakes Rio for a slave hunt or something.

"Then will you protect the child?

"Protect? Of course! What do you want me to do?"

Their anger came through to Rio.

Rio struck his tongue inside as things were unfolding more easily.

"Wait. I need to talk to you about it..."

As Rio tried to explain the situation, a different girl's voice sounded from the girl she was talking to now, in a language that Rio didn't know from the tent.

At that moment, the anger of existence, which had launched an attack on Rio, swelled and suddenly struck Rio's abdomen.

"Ha."

The flesh had been fortified, but Rio, alarmed by what the conversation was going on, could not absorb the shock of the unintentional blow, and suffered stuffy damage.

(What an idiot... You're gonna kill me!?

Even though he couldn't miss the shock by being struck by surprise, he's done damage from above his fortified flesh.

Perhaps a thin iron plate would have been powerful enough to punch it out.

Rio's body danced gently through the universe and was pounded to the ground with momentum.

When I looked around with my vision, which finally began to return, I saw a lot of spiritual people around Rio, blurry but at a constant distance.

There you can see the elves with bows and targets, the beasts with swords and daggers, and the dwarves with axes and axes.

There will be at least thirty of them.

Four of them are near Rio.

She is a blonde elf and thought girl, a burning dwarf and thought girl, a silver-haired werewolf and thought girl, a gray-haired winged beast and thought woman.

The first three are about the same age as Rio, and the last one seems to be one turn older than Rio.

Looks like the Winged Beast woman attacked Rio.

She was staring at Rio with an abominable eye like a curse kill.

The people of other spirits have a similar gaze.

It's got those kinds of emotions in it that you blame Rio for somewhere, that you despise.

(You didn't expect me to be so hostile...)

Rio laughs bitterly at the sweetness of his own perception.

While spending time with Latifah, if you explain it, you'll understand, maybe you thought unconsciously.

In his hazy consciousness, he sensed a woman of the Winged Beast approaching to detain Rio.

I get up in the mood and slightly resisted Rio, but the damage to my abdomen is enormous and it gets subdued.

As it is, Rio is completely unconscious after being shot by a knife in the neck muscle.

When the werewolf girl paid some attention to the winged beast woman, the elf girl gave first aid for Rio's injury in a hurried manner, using spiritual techniques and fitting a handkerchief in Rio.

When the winged beast woman took charge of Rio and another beast man could hold Latifah, who was deeply asleep, they all started moving in the same direction.
