Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

Lesson 31: Life in the Village Part One

The next day, starting today, Rio will live for a while in this village where Zen, his own father, once lived.

Considering that he was also sorry to let him stay without doing anything, Rio offered Yuba to help with the village's work during his stay.

The village morning is early.

When he woke up before sunrise, Rio appeared in the hall of Yuba's house.

"Oh, you're up a lot faster."

Yuba seemed to be awake already, setting fire to the enclosure and sitting in a chair in the hall.

"Uh-huh, Grandma, oh my goodness."

Then came Luli, the sleeping eye, there too.

"Good morning, don't you forget Rio is here?

Yuba laughs bitterly at her while wearing bedtime clothes, which can also be described as rough underwear with seams.

One older than Rio, her limb had a sufficiently feminine softness, albeit lean due to daily farming and slight nutritional deficiencies, with plump breasts floating in her thin upper body.

"Heh... Ahhh!"

Luli realizes that at the end of her eyes and nose, there is a heterosexual of her own age who has been living together since yesterday.

Rio seems to have already strayed from her gaze, but realizing that it meant that she was seen not even for a moment, Luli's face turned bright red like a ripe apple.

"Kee, I'm getting dressed!

With that said, Luli rushed to his room as if he were a shepherd.

Later, after a while, she came back from the inside of the room, but somewhere she watched with a jitty eye about Rio.

(No, well, I don't have a choice...)

Try not to gaze at her, and I get the grin that Rio drew.

"So, you're up a lot early, but you're really willing to help? Don't hesitate to let me use it, okay?

You thought about getting rid of the air between Rio and Luli, and Yuba laughed happily, but said that.

"Yeah, I'll take care of it."

Rio, who wanted to get out of the current awkward state as soon as possible, responds quickly to such Yuba's words.

"And what can you do? Because the work that you do will vary."

More than securing a new workforce, albeit with deadlines, Yuba gave a peek at his expression as village chief in an attempt to make effective use of its resources.

"Cooking, farming, hunting, workmanship, making medicines, later, I hope you don't say too much to people if you're going to stand out, but you can also use spirituality"

Rio also became a lot more prodigious while in the Spirit People.

I can even build if I care about it because of my Dwarf manufacturing knowledge, or I can make medicines to deal with most of the symptoms if I have materials with my elf manufacturing knowledge.

Yuba and Luli round their eyes on one Rio stunt after another listed.

"Well, even if you can use it, it won't stand out... Is that true? I don't need to look good, okay?

It's very different from what I would have done if I could.

Farming, hunting, craftsmanship and other jobs that are turned around by village men have a lot of manual labor, but it's also not as easy as doing it successfully all of a sudden.

In case Rio seems to be looking good, it could even affect the efficiency of others' work.

"Yeah. No problem."

Without precipitation Rio affirms.

"Right. Then let's just say I believe it. Well, let's just show your face. Luli, go with Rio to change ingredients in the morning. I'm finally going to introduce you to this girl."

You felt unwavering Rio's confidence, and Yuba seems to have decided to believe that statement once and for all.

So, first, to inform the villagers of its existence, he also told Luli to introduce him to Rio.

"Uh, yes. Then, Rio...... Let's go."

With a slight illumination of whether he still had the embarrassment of being seen in his earlier dementia, Luli spoke to Rio.

"Yes, thank you"

When the two of them left and walked out the front door of the village chief's house, they first harvested the ingredients they had grown in a home vegetable garden separate from the fields they operated in the village.

When the meal portion of the home is separately secured, a certain amount is put into the cage.

"In the village, barter is fundamental. Harvest the ingredients you use for your daily meals in the morning and gather in the square to exchange them for each home."

and Luli explains the work to Rio.

"I see..."

In some impressive breeze Rio looked at the home garden and the vegetables in the cage.

Although taxes will be levied on a village basis, only ingredients taken from farmland managed in villages will be subject to taxation.

That's how they headed to the village square with a conversation of administrative content.

As the wooden houses on the elegant straw roof lined up, there was about a small school schoolyard square in the center of the village.

It seems that the village ladies have already gathered together for a morning greeting and casual conversation.

"Good morning, everyone!

And there Luli greeted him well.

Upon realizing Luli's presence, the women smiled back and greeted him, but a strange man immediately behind him reflected in his sight and turned his gaze to Rio to see who he was.

"He's a kid who's been living with us since yesterday. He's called Rio. He's my grandmother's old acquaintance's son, and he's fourteen years old. I brought you here to show your face because you're going to be helping me with my village job for a while from today."

"My name is Rio, as you mentioned. I know there are a lot of things I can't even say, thank you."

Rio greeted him with a perfect grin as he smiled at the person he met for the first time.

It is Rio's conclusion that courtesy, i.e. greetings and rhetoric, is the lubricant for relationships.

If they treat you with gratitude, they treat you with gratitude, and when they try to treat you from here, they try to treat you with gratitude.

"Uh, nice to meet you..."

Looking somewhere in the light of Rio's attitude, the women returned their greetings.

"He said he didn't need to be polite in his language like such a nobleman. People get nervous when they treat kids like Rio like that."

and Luli spoke as his own experience.

From the women who live in this village full of crude wildlings, Rio looks very attractive with a neutral, neat and beautiful face.

If such a person were to speak with polite language, there is no point in being nervous out of embarrassment.

"Ha, well, I'll try. It's going to improve a little bit."

For once, Rio was not comfortable with overtly changing his language for the first person he approached politely, unless there were so many reasons.

You should change it one by one while you're in contact with quite a bit.

As Rio replied with a bitter smile thinking that way, it was time for the women to turn their gaze to Luli.

From the looks of it, I just think it's a superb property. Who is this guy?

Luli wanders into his eyes, reminiscent of a carnivore who just says he won't tolerate escape.

Especially the gaze of the young girls who are still single is weak.

(Ha ha... Well, I thought this might happen. Ugh, they'll definitely ask you for root-digging leaf digging at work)

As a Luli, I still know very little about Rio, and I'm nervous about living with him.

Yesterday, when I got home from work, suddenly, my own grandmother told me that Rio would live with me.

If you ask, he says he's the son of an old acquaintance of Yuba.

It's not strange to have an old acquaintance outside if you're a subtle, well-connected Yuba, but there's no way you're not confused when suddenly told that a near-age heterosexual is going to live under the same roof.

Besides, Rio's appearance is so neat that the word "beautiful youth" comes firm, and his physical hips are very calm.

Yesterday, when I happened to witness the appearance when I was walking outside, I called out to give guidance thinking it was a guest, but I was so confused that I accidentally called out for the good looks.

Even I get nervous somewhere that I have a clear character, so there's no reason for the young girls in the village to be in love and nervous.

As for Luli, who has been dealing with all the gutsy guys so far, he can still grasp how to deal with the type of guys like Rio from now on.

The gaze of the girls has been coming and going with Rio and Luli since earlier.

Imagining a storm of questions that would come at work after breakfast, Luli became heavier.

Hiraki, and Luli turn their gaze to Rio.

The sight of the women is the only reason the conversation is established is because Luli has been with them for years and because of the same sex.

Rio, standing next to him, looked strange to the gaze he could draw from the girls.

Second, Rio and Luli's gaze overlaps.

(Ugh, don't even know people's minds. Come on.)

I remember seeing my own limbs over my skin earlier, and Luli's face turned slightly red.

The ladies work a woman's mind that something happened to her.

And instantly they created a common perception that they had to ask about the area as well.

"Ha, let's just finish exchanging ingredients for today. We all have to go home and make breakfast."

I want to get back to my house as soon as possible, albeit temporarily.

There was also embarrassment, and when he sighed small, Luli moved to divide the spot.

The contents of the cage are quickly replaced when they are quickly exchanged for ingredients picked in the home garden of other houses.

"Yes, then go back. Rio."

When I make sure I'm done with my errands, I quickly speak to Rio, who carries a cage with ingredients.

The women seemed to want to talk to Rio, but they were holding each other back and couldn't seem to get the timing.

Ignoring the piercing gaze of the ladies she felt from her back, Luli took Rio back to the house just now.

"I'm home, Grandma"

"I'm back now"

When Luli greeted him well on his way home, Rio followed suit.

"Welcome back"

Apparently, Yuba was waiting to prepare the utensils and firewood to be used in the dishes.

"Cook, I'll help you. Use it because you have the ingredients and seasonings that you get during your journey."

I've had five years of ingredients from Earthla, and I've been getting quite a few more seasonings.

Nevertheless, if you give the boulders all of them at once and divide them, it would seem unnatural to know where they were stored.

So I decided to give them enough ingredients and seasonings to go into the backpack for camouflage.

"That would help. Especially because of the lack of seasonings."

Seasonings, especially salt, are totally dependent on pedestrians who regularly come to the village.

It was difficult to buy large quantities at a time and salt was valuable in the village because the price was higher than buying in the city due to the cost of transportation.

Therefore, if it is ingredients and seasonings, it would be lacking seasonings that should be given priority.

Because if there are ingredients and there are no flavors, you can only eat dishes that don't go well.

With that in mind, Rio, who returned to the room, took the ingredients and tons of salt out of the temporal vault, packed them in the backpack and returned to the hall connected to the kitchen.

"Salt is this for now"

A bag containing more than ten kilos of salt from inside the backpack was removed and placed on the desk.

"Mm, you have so much salt"

"Wow, he said we can't use up all this salt alone. Don't you have two years if you save and use it?

Yuba and Luli round their eyes at the size of that bag.

"And then there's my own kind of seasoning. The ingredients are high in dry meat."

It's also unnatural that humans who were traveling to boulders have freshly picked vegetables, so they chose some preserved foods to put inside the backpack.

Since meat is a luxury, dried meat is the focus.

"And how dare you? Well, I was carrying this much luggage. You don't seem to be physically fit."

Rio is tall and muscular, but the lines are thinner.

Yuba sounded unexpected in order not to look powerful if he was wearing clothes.

"I didn't travel to Dada alone."

Rio laughs bitterly at Yuba's words like that.

"Shall we make breakfast then? Shall I cook the rice, make the juice, and then make something appropriate with the vegetables and the dried meat I brought? If there's a pickle in this, it's perfect."

In the Yagmo region, rice and grain were staple foods instead of bread.

Nevertheless, there have been no varietal improvements, so many steps of flavor drop compared to the rice and grains that can be picked among the Spirit's people.

Also, because there are many flavourings similar to miso, it would be easier to reproduce the flavours preferred by Japanese people than in the Strahl region.

"All right. Shall I make Rio breakfast with the point of showing you the arrangements, then? Let's see if there's anything weird about Luli."

"Yes."

When Luli, who responded well, asked about the meals, the kitchen's own accord, etc., Rio began cooking.

The meal of the day in the village is twice in the morning and night.

They say breakfast is made lavish to get the vitality of the day and dinner tends to be qualitative unless it's also a banquet.

"Ooh. You really can use spirituality! Don't do it."

When Rio lit the firewood with spiritual art, Luli said in a good mood.

The first time I saw spirituality, it seemed less surprising.

"Is this the first time you've seen spiritual art?

Wondering about Luli's reaction as if he was used to seeing spiritual art somewhere, Rio asked.

"Yeah. Actually, I can use spirituality, too. In this village, there are other grandmothers."

She was told a slightly unexpected fact, but Rio was convinced that that was what she wasn't particularly surprised to see spirituality.

"I see. Then did you learn Spirituality from Yuba?

"Yeah. Hi. Sounds like our lineage is highly apt for spirituality for civilians. That's what grandma's doing with the village chief."

Then again, I guess Zen was also a user of spirituality, Rio thought.

When you start cooking by lighting the rice that was soaked in water while greeting the village ladies, you make the water in the pan to make miso soup and add kelp and bonito to make the soup over low heat.

"You're really used to it. As much as I'd like to let the men of our village apprentice me."

I said it in a way that Luli was impressed by the way he was watching Rio's cooking right on the side.

There is a stereotype in the village that housework is what women do, and the men who live in the village don't basically cook.

The sight of a man cooking from Luli living in such a village seemed very fresh.

"Well, if you're traveling, you can't make this much."

Having a conversation with Luli doesn't stop me from cooking Rio.

While waiting for the rice to cook and the soup to complete, chop mushrooms and vegetables to the appropriate size, and then chop the dried meat this time.

"Wow, you use knives better than I do..."

Luli speaks out in a bright Rio knife judgment.

With such a bitter smile at how she is doing, I also try to communicate a little bit.

Soon she seemed a lot more relaxed, too, when she was nervous somewhere.

Rio felt that he must have a flexible personality.

"It's time for rice to cook."

Rio kept the cauldron with rice away from the fire because it smelled a little burnt.

Leave to steam without taking the lid, in the meantime filter (scoop) the sauce and transfer it to another pan, add the ingredients mushrooms and vegetables and let it boil.

Meanwhile, the chopped dried meat was sautéed with vegetables, seasoned and transferred to a plate.

When the contents of the pan have boiled, melt the miso in little by little, and when the contents have boiled, extinguish the fire and transport it to the enclosure.

"Done."

Removing the steamed rice lid, the shiny rice was cooking up.

When I put the loose rice in a tea bowl and the miso soup in a bowl, I arranged the finished products on my desk.

"Wow, looks delicious. More than usual thanks to Rio's brought dried meat, and it's going to be a good day!

Luli said with a grumpy look on his face.

Apparently, she liked the look of it.

"If this is all you can cook, you can incorporate it on duty."

Yuba also looks at the finished dishes to his satisfaction.

"Then eat it before it gets cold!

When the three of them arrived at the table, Luli signaled the start of the meal in such a way that they could not wait.

"Mmm! This miso soup is delicious. Exquisite stock performance. The stir-fry over here is delicious too!

Every time I eat every dish, I get a happy look on my face, Luli, and this means that Rio was worth making as well.

"Oh, he's got really good arms. Big deal."

Yuba is also savoring Rio's dishes so that he can bite through every bite.

"Thank you. It's worth it if you say so."

Rio smiles at the sentiments of two good people.

"Well, I'll show you to Rio's place of work after breakfast. I'm just trying to get you to help me hunt, okay?

And, where the meal has also progressed and the conversation has bounced, Yuba has spoken to Rio.

That was a topic about Rio's work starting today.

"Yeah, I'll take care of it."

To Yuba's words, Rio nodded with a quiet but powerful voice, wondering what kind of life would begin today.
