Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

Rio explained to the Earthlas the circumstances under which he was taking Latifah.

That Rio was on his way to Yagmo.

That Latifah has been raised as a human slave.

That Rio met Latifah on his journey.

That Rio freed Latifah from slavery.

That he was about to hand over Latifah to the Spirit people.

"It still sounds like this one is totally bad. I'm sorry..."

When I finished hearing everything, Earthra gave a sinking look and bowed her head deeply.

Latifah, a witness, fell asleep on Rio's lap along the way, whether she was tired or abandoned to understand a small difficult story, but her nostalgia for Rio was above all proof.

"Uzuma, it's no exaggeration to say that your Lord's advance complicated things like this, but if you're saying there's something open to you, you can ask him, okay?

Arsla asked the woman of the Winged Beast, who was called a quail in the words of the Spirit People.

"Well, Lady Latifah found some sort of trail of disturbance and abuse of Odd in her deep sleep, and there... I mistakenly assumed he'd gone to her... and I was furious"

He gave the reason why the quail was attacked by Rio without being allowed to say whether or not. There is a lot of cold sweat on that forehead.

"I guess I put him to deep sleep so he wouldn't cry at night as long as I heard him talk. Mostly, the Lord is always too early. I always told you to think things over a little bit more thoughtfully. I didn't expect this fool to hit you without thinking about it later. What kind of warrior is that? Isn't the majority your responsibility? You didn't think it was all unnatural? Hmm?"

"Sa, oldest. Sorry!

Uzuma constricts and apologizes to Earthra.

"Apologizing isn't a nonsense. Today's council of elders will determine your punishment, but I hope you will reflect. Make a proper apology to Lord Rio. You got it?

"Yes......"

"And Sarah, Aufia, Alma, you guys, too. All of you are involved in the operation of the inside. It's lamentable, even though you're in training, that you can't stop a single horse from rampant."

"Yes, sir"

They each react viciously by being called names in the order of werewolf, elf and dwarf girls.

"I know you won't be punished, but I want you to reflect deeply."

"Shit, I understand!

The three girls bowed their heads deeply.

"I'm sorry. Lord Rio, I'm a little too hot for these guys' sermons."

After finishing his sermon, Earthra turns to Rio and bows her head again.

As for Rio, I thought the four angry people were sorry, but I didn't know what the conversation was about, so I watched it silently.

"That's right, Lord Rio, aren't you catching a cold?

and Earthla points out that she noticed Rio's pale complexion.

"Yeah, a little chilly..."

Rio, hiragana, showed his skin under the blanket. Earthra sighs when she sees that.

"... that's not this one's downfall either. Let's have a special elf medicine ready right away. The council of elders meets at dawn. I guess I'll be officially apologizing from the entire Spirit people afterwards. Until then, sleep in that bed."

"Thank you"

Look at the bed Earthra pointed at, and Rio says thank you.

At that time, a quail, with a blue look on his face, spoke something to Sarah, a werewolf beast girl. Sarah opens her mouth to translate the words of the quail.

"Well, Master Rio, the quail wants to apologize to you..."

Uzuma was in awe and sat upright, putting her head on the ground in desperate condition.

It is a so-called dungeon.

"And let us apologize. It wasn't a trick against a benefactor who protected my countrymen."

When Sarah said that, Aufia and Alma also spoke out of apology, and it was about time the three of them sat down to Rio.

"... I don't care, if you say so, it's a lie, but I accept your apology. We could have injured Lord Uzuma."

I feel uncomfortable with the fact that I am grounded with older women and girls my age, even as I marvel at the fact that the groundhog culture is in this world.

I don't have anything to think about as Rio, but given our future relationship, it wouldn't be a good idea to rough things up with people.

With that in mind, Rio expressed his acceptance of the apology.

Then when he took the medicine for the elf he had been transported, Rio fell asleep and it was already noon when he woke up.

When I try to wake up my body, next door I notice Latifah sticking to Rio and sleeping.

The body's chills were completely removed.

Apparently, the effects of elf medication are so good that they are not comparable to those of the human race.

As I lay down with Latifah's head stroked, the door to the room was knocked.

"Yes, I'm awake."

When I replied so that I could hear it outside, the door slowly opened.

Coming in were Sarah, a werewolf beast girl, Orphia, an elf girl, and Alma, a Dwarf girl.

"Good Morning"

When they came into the room, the three of them came to greet me awake.

"What's wrong?

Rio asks Zorro Zorro and the three of them who came in.

"Temporarily we were asked to look after Lord Rio, so I came back to say hello."

And Sarah said on behalf of the three of them.

Among the three, Sarah was elderly and often took on a sister role with something.

"I think that basically one of us three will be on Master Rio's side while we are in this Spirit people. Best regards,"

Very few of the Spirit's people can speak the words of the human race.

Only those in some guiding positions make it possible.

Therefore, only a limited number of people were able to take care of Rio, and Aufia, Sarah and Alma were appointed as temporary caregivers because they were already familiar with Rio and could speak the language of the human race.

"We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you very much."

And, Rio said politely, bowing his head.

"Yes, no, welcome."

Each one had a different atmosphere, but as I feared somewhere, the three of them also bowed their heads back. I have a hard impression somewhere.

Apparently, there's something like a guilt or a bad consciousness about Rio.

"It's quick, but I have news for you. Until recently, the elders in this room had gathered for a meeting."

You changed your mind, and when you looked tight, Sarah spoke up.

"So I decided to share my apology and gratitude to Master Rio. It is scheduled to be done this evening. If Rio wakes up, we'll have lunch and let him know."

"Understood."

There is also something itchy about being apologized for in a formal setting, but I accept it as necessary.

More than that, I was now interested in the spiritual people's diet.

"So if you don't mind, I'll bring you a meal, what shall we do?

"Thank you for that. Please do."

It's something I don't even wish for, so I'll answer immediately.

"Yes. So shall I also have Latifah's share?

"Right. It will happen soon."

Seeing Latifah sleeping easily, Rio smiles softly.

"Yes, I did. Then you'll have it right away. Aufia, Alma, please."

"Yeah!"

"Yes."

Orfia smiles naively, Alma looks awed, responds to each and leaves the room.

The only ones left were Rio and Sarah, and later Latifah, who is asleep.

For a while, silence fell between them.

"Well, Latifah was a slave, wasn't she?

At one point, Sarah slowly opened her mouth, with the look on her face that she had said something.

"Yes."

Rio snorts briefly.

Sarah talked about Latifah.

"Does Master Rio know about when Latifah was a slave?

"No. I can imagine what kind of treatment you were being treated like, but I didn't want to remind you of when you were a slave, so I didn't ask you anything in particular"

"Really...... Um, if you'll excuse me, could you tell us as far as Master Rio can tell?"

"It's never an interesting story, is it?

I'm not talking about listening to it with interest in mind. Make it smell that way.

"... Yes. But I still want to know."

With a strong willed eye, Sarah stared at Rio.

"Okay."

Whether that willingness had been communicated, Rio decided to teach Sarah what Latifah was being treated like, also based on his own assumptions.

That the emotions were initially rare.

that signs of abuse can be seen in the body.

that they would have been made to undergo combat training.

That they were making me do things like assassins.

that he would not have eaten a busy meal either.

that you would have extreme trauma.

And I taught Sarah about Latifah, about everything I know.

Sarah gave me a bewildered look when I explained the circumstances that Latifah was coming to kill Rio on assignment, but when I finished telling her everything, Sarah's body was shaking small whether she had learned the anger of boiling blood in her body.

"She's not a thing! Say that...!

Sarah roughed up her voice, as if to exude unproductive anger.

"Yes."

It's an emotion I had as Rio.

She would naturally have stronger emotions if she were a highly brotherly species.

"Nevertheless, listening is not a very good hobby."

Rio speaks out to the outside of the door.

"... Mmm, have you noticed? Sharp. Sorry."

That's what I said and came into the room with three people: Earthra, and Orphea and Alma with a meal for two.

Sarah, who was focused on listening, didn't seem to notice the proximity of the three.

"I'm not talking about that kid. I have something to tell Lord Rio."

And Arsula said with a strange face on her face.

"Probably not. He may be the great-grandson of Non."

Rio's eyes slightly open to the words.

"Non's granddaughter disappeared more than ten years ago... He was originally a freelancer. I thought it was the first time I was tired of living inside and wandering around, but I never followed you home. I also thought the demon or the beast attacked me without knowing the news..."

Arsla sent her gaze to Latifah, who was grabbing Rio's clothes and falling asleep.

"There's a strange nostalgic shadow on that kid's face. I would love to hear the child's mother's name, but I am scared... I guess that kid's mother isn't alive anymore, is she?

"Yeah, I hear he's already dead"

"Right..."

Arsula had a sinking face.

"Hmm... brother..."

At that time, Latifah woke up thin, reacting to the repeated speech.

"Are you awake? Good morning, Latifah. They say it's dinner."

"Yeah. Morning. Rice, eat..."

And Latifah said in a drowsy, sweet voice.

Thank you, Lord Rio.

Latifah, nostalgic for Rio, was just a sweet girl at first glance.

Earthra bows her head deeply to see how it goes.

"No, I have nothing to be thanked for..."

Rio glanced slightly at Earthra's courtesy.

Rio hasn't acted together trying to save Latifah in the first place.

Indeed, as I learned about Latifah's circumstances, I came to assume a role close to that of guardian.

But Rio didn't have the thickness of the skin on his face so that he could honestly accept his gratitude.

While I noticed a slight change in expression, neither did skilled Earthra understand what emotions Rio has right now.

"Hmm, my meal is going to get cold. Here, go ahead and eat."

Earthla encouraged the meal to change the atmosphere of the venue.

Then I woke up completely. Latifah starts the meal with a bright, unyielding smile.

I started eating Rio too late.

All this was just the first dish to eat, but it seems to fit Latifah's mouth.

It tasted satisfactory as Rio.

At the end of the meal, Sarah, Aufia and Alma get closer to Latifah.

Rio watched the scene away from Earthra.

The conversation with the girls near their age seemed fresh, and at first they didn't talk about anything shy of Rio not being around, but Latifah soon got along with them too.

That's how we quickly got our evening.

Leaving Latifah unto Sarah and the others, and guided unto Arsla, Rio was guided unto a room where the elders of the people of the Spirit gathered.

The room where the elders gathered was on the top floor of a tree house built on a large tree.

Rio learns how to live in the people of the Spirit as he moves.

Their lives were completely integrated with nature, building houses and treehouses in the woods made of clay and stone.

To a rather fantastic sight, Rio looks at the architecture with interest.

As we ascended the spiral staircase surrounding the tree, the great tree, which emitted an overwhelming presence, came into view.

Perhaps that was the great tree that Rio and the others were after.

Oddly enough, Rio laughed heartily at the fact that he was penetrating himself into the place of the Spirit people.

Eventually, when we reach the top floor, we enter the room where the elders are located.

In the room, nearly thirty Spirit people sat in wooden chairs arranged in the shape of Co.

In the front back of the entrance sits an aged dwarf and elf, with only one empty seat.

"Then Lord Rio will sit here."

Urging him to sit Rio on a chair near the entrance, Earthra laid her back on the empty seat that was behind the front of the entrance.

"Son of a human race. I have heard about this incident. I would like to express my profound gratitude for freeing my compatriots who had been captured as slaves and for the incorrect way in which my compatriots caused so much inconvenience. Thanks."

When the old man in the elf sitting next to Earthra said so, the elders sitting on the spot stood up at once and bowed their heads to Rio.

Rio felt their sincerity because of the behavior and the serious voice.

But I also felt a little uncomfortable when all these people lowered their heads at once.

"First of all, thank you, I did accept. We hear that there is a black history between the human race and the Spirit people that cannot be wiped. The actions taken by your compatriots must have been triggered by such a pathetic history. I can also say that my fellow countrymen have been bad at what they've been stacking up. It's not like I've suffered irrevocable damage, and as far as I'm concerned, if I've solved any misunderstandings, there's no problem. Please raise your head."

and Rio replies with a thankful attitude.

The elders looked at Rio with an unexpected look when they raised their heads as bewildered by the words.

"Mm-hmm. That helps even if you say so. But it is also true that we have been thankful and have done something to avenge it. So we talked about hearing some wish from you..."

Like some trouble, but with a stern look on his face, the old man in the elf said.

"Wish......?

"Lord Rio. Sildra......, what this man is saying is, in short, I want to thank you for helping Latifah, and I want to pay the consolation fee for the incorrect inconvenience caused to Lord Rio, that's what I'm saying. Then, in Nong et al., we don't know what the human lord Rio wants. Do you have any wishes? They're afraid of what they'll be demanding."

In Earthra's words, Elf's old man, the elders, began with Sildra, appeared to have a bad face of a bat.

And in Earthra's words, Rio gives a look that he was good at it.

From the people of the Spirit, I guess the human race that treats its compatriots as slaves looks like an ugly creature.

If so, there is something to snort about their worries too.

I don't know what the humans want, but I have to thank them.

It seems to be Earthra's idea to ask straight what she wants.

Quite audacious.

"I see...... Now I'd like you to take the Latifah."

Rio said what he had been thinking from the beginning.

Hearing the words, the elders have stared at Rio's face without even trying to hide their bewildered expression.

"Is that all...?

and spoke as if Sildra had been taken aback.

"Um, I've also guessed that Lord Rio is an abnegation. Lord Rio, we've been meaning to do that since the beginning... and that's not a wish."

And Arsula said in a slightly frightened voice.

"I know. But all of a sudden, even if I live in this place, I don't think she'll get used to it. It's my wish that you take care of her whenever possible."

A moment of silence comes indoors.

"Kuku. This guy's a masterpiece! That mortal tribe gave priority to his own interests and others, and to other races!

Then an old Dwarf man sitting next to Sildra laughed out loud with pleasure.

"Dominic, you did what Non said. Lord Rio is a very rational man. There's nothing personally wrong with you, so I don't think you're going to be asked to do that."

"That's because Earthra actually talked to that kid face to face. Strangers, it's only natural to be wary of humans."

And an old man from Dwarf, called Dominic, says to Earthra with pleasure.

"I like it! Kid! Whatever our great-granddaughter Alma wants, you can give it to my wife enough! Don't hesitate. Say anything you wish for."

Dominic said so out of great value.

"Right. I would like you to say a few more greedy wishes. I owe you, and I owe you an apology for revenge."

Earthra also agrees with Dominic.

"Right. Is there anything you want?

Sigh at Dominic and Earthra's condition, Sildra said.

"... right. Having said that, I want the ingredients in this, I want you to tell me about the knowledge that the Spirit people possess, and later I'm a little interested in the Spirit people's words. Is that about it? Later is fine until Latifah gets used to this inside, if you'll let me live here."

Rio mouths his wishes as he tries to think.

"You really are greedy..."

Arsula says as impressed.

"No, that's not what I'm saying... You have a lot of appetite."

"That's not what I meant. I wonder if it's more accurate to have less vulgar desires specific to the human race."

"Ha..."

I don't know, Rio gives me a look like that.

"Basically, none of them seem to have a problem, but when it comes to knowledge?

and Sildra asks for that detail about Rio's wishes.

"That's the use of spiritual art, and the general knowledge that the Spirit people know might be useful in everyday life. And of course, if you're told not to speak out in the dark, I won't teach it to third parties."

"Anyone who doesn't think it's particularly problematic, but disagrees?

Everyone on the spot shook their heads beside Sildra's words.

"Hmm, so you can hear my wish for what I just said?

Confirm that there is no objection and Sildra will give Rio a final confirmation.

"Yes, please"

That's what Rio says and bows his head lightly.

"Then we must ask the Lord Rio about the punishment of the warrior, the head of the horse, but also about his contents in our code. Does Lord Rio have any opinions?

Listen to Sildra, Rio chews and thinks.

A quail stood in the corner of the room like he was in awe.

"No, especially...... Personally, I think punishment is necessary, but if it's not, I'll follow your custom."

"... it really seemed like our worries were worrying. I'm sorry. Lord Rio, I was suspicious of painting mud on your pride. I have to apologize."

Rio had a slightly drawn grin as to what punishment he thought he would inflict on the quail.

"No, because I don't particularly care"

"Um, thank you so much. So can we say to the quail that we will punish him as arranged here?

"Yes."

In the end, the quail was to be told a period of prudent life.

Afterwards, the elders introduced themselves and a fine feast was held as it were, and Rio deepened his rapport with the elders of the Spirit people.
