Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

And the next day, every day here these days, the village was surrounded by a rushed atmosphere.

Autumn is the busiest season of the year.

Land rice, wheat, grains, vegetables, fruits and crops must be harvested, as well as preserved foods must be made before winter arrives.

We must also sort the taxable goods, and we are prepared to ship the surplus to the King's Capital.

In addition, we must pray for richness next year and prepare for the richness festival.

In addition, in the autumn, there will be more opportunities for traffickers to come to the village.

The villagers can't afford to farm in the winter, and they can't go too far outside, so they can't buy consumables to survive the winter.

Naturally, we all buy salt, but basically the only salt we have to buy from the traffickers is a little luxury. So even if you make preserved foods, they are more dry or fermented than salted.

It was a season of commercial prosperity for pedestrians and the most rushed time of the year for the village.

Rio is also supposed to be the day to go hunting, but he rescheduled and was helping farm in the morning.

On the other hand, a line of gongs that came to this village yesterday completely lurks the ringing and carriage repairs are carried out by adults.

It was as if yesterday's commotion were a lie.

It was after noon, and the work was in a paragraph, and as Yuba and I were resting in the house, we heard the sound of knocking on the door of the house.

"I'll open it myself."

"I'm sorry."

Taking control of Yuba while sitting in the chair, Rio quickly stood up and headed to the door.

"Oh, Mr. Ume. What's the matter, sir?

Ume, who is in the summary role of the village ladies, was there in a slight hurry.

"Rio, I'm here to report to Master Yuba because Master Hayate is here as a tax collector."

And, with a well-looked after grin, Ume said.

"Hmm, I heard the story. Which, then, we should hurry up."

Looks like they were listening to the conversation from the hall, and Yuba gets up and walks out of the house.

"Oh, Rio. Can you make me dinner for five more people today? Some of the visitors who are here today will be eating dinner at our house."

I looked back before I went out the door and Yuba told Rio so.

"Yes, I understand. Then should I make it a little extravagant meal? Then I'll hunt more of my prey in the afternoon hunt."

"Oh well. Shall I ask for it? Thank you. If you don't have enough ingredients, you can use the vegetables from the vegetable garden."

Yuba responds to Rio's offer with a grin.

"Yes, you're not coming"

"Oh, I'll be back in this house at my usual dinner time. Good luck with your work."

"Understood."

Yuba went outside when Rio dropped him off.

When he finishes drinking the tea left in the container, he cleans up the tea utensils and Rio goes back to work too.

The help with agriculture was a paragraph, so Rio had decided to go hunting in the afternoon.

We hunt more prey than usual around many nearby hunting grounds.

With that in mind, the hunt went well, and I decided to cut it up a little early to do the demolition work.

Then I went home, but neither Yuba nor Luli have returned yet.

Carefully removing the smell of beast and blood creeping into her body with soap first, Rio decided to prepare for dinner.

When it comes to making the number of people instructed by Yuba, a total of eight servings of meals must be prepared.

I don't have much experience cooking this many people at once and my arms rang a long time ago.

The main dish would have a good renou bird I caught earlier.

After that, white rice, miso soup, pickles, etc.

When I thought of the dedication in my head, Rio began cooking.

Some time after starting to make it, the aroma spreads to fill the hall with appetite.

Yuba brought back a few men there.

"Welcome home."

and floated a brilliant customer service smile, calling out to those to whom Rio came in.

"Yeah. I'm home. That smells good."

Yuba breaks up and greets the fragrance that fills the room.

The humans behind him also had a curious look on their face as to whether their appetite was stimulated by the scent in the room.

"You smell wonderful, Lord Yuba."

Apparently my appetite was stimulated by the fragrance in the room, and I said it like a well-dressed young man who was right behind Yuba was interested.

"Well, I don't see any boy..."

Continuing, when he discovers Rio indoors, the young man turns his curious gaze.

"That kid says Rio. We were supposed to stay in our village for a while."

and Yuba lightly introduces him to Rio.

To match that word, once the food was interrupted, Rio took a step forward.

"Nice to meet you. It took me a while to introduce you, my name is Rio. Later, get to know each other."

And bow your head deeply, and say hello.

"Mm, well. My name is Saga-Hayat. He who came to collect taxes from this village. Regards."

With a decent look on his face, the young man raised his name.

Since it is customary in the Yagmo region to have a surname first, Saga is the surname and Hayate is the name.

He wears brilliant design feathers on clothes like quality fabric overalls (samu), with two straight knives at the waist.

The age seems to be several years older than Rio.

"Yes, thank you. Lord Saga."

When I bowed lightly, raised my head and put Hayate in my sight, it conveyed a style that seemed somewhat unjust.

The straight knife I put on my hips because of its standing behavior would not be a decoration.

"Oh."

And Hayate had also determined that Rio was a strong man, based on the position of the center of gravity and the way he carried his feet.

He is also well impressed by his courtesy, and Hayate has an impressive look on his face.

"Well, then a little early, but shall we have dinner? Is Luli home, Rio?

"No, but isn't it time to come home?

The sun is already starting to set.

The time is already evening.

It is not a strange time to go home after work.

"I'm home!"

And what a rumor it was, and Luli came back to the house with a cheerful greeting.

"Ko, this is Lord Luli!?

Then Hayate's attitude, which until then had been riddled, suddenly became restless.

"Ah, Master Hayate. Long time no see."

Luli greets Hayate like that with a nostalgic grin.

"Ugh, um, it's been a while. Looking good, above all."

"Yes, thanks to you. Hello everyone else."

Luli smiled and said to Hayate, who seemed soggy somewhere.

Then, as it were, I greet Hayate's men lightly.

"Well, you're going to the kitchen for a bit"

Leaving it at that, Luli proceeded straight to those with Rio.

"Hey, if you think it smells good outside, it doesn't look extravagant any more today"

And, looking at Rio's cooking, Luli said in a good mood.

The look is like a puppy waiting to be fed, much hungry.

"You'll be able to do it soon, so wash your hands first"

"Yeah, thanks. You had a hard time cooking so many dishes on your own, didn't you? Good day, I'll help you with your meals."

With words of gratitude and labor, washing his hands in the water field, Luli went on to individually serve the dishes made by Rio.

"I didn't expect you to behave like this precious meat. That's not preservation meat either. It will be hard to prepare for this number of people...... Never mind."

Seeing the dish, Hayate spoke as surprised.

The dishes made were not processed meat for preservation, and it was seen at a glance that fresh ones were used.

Though there are hunters, it is hard to prepare these fresh meats for this number of people.

"Haha, because Rio is a good arm hunter. I think you got a lot today."

and told me why Luli could behave like this fresh meat.

"Oh, was this meat that Lord Rio had hunted for me? But you also said Lord Rio did the cooking. It's a man's body, but it's clear."

Hearing such an explanation, Hayate praises Rio.

Then, a line that had not even eaten satisfactory food on the trip, looked at the meal that was going to be served to me with my eyes shining.

Everyone gets to their seats when the meals are complete.

"Today I also tried to cook exotic dishes that I learned from my journey. Please eat."

And then, skinning Rio's words, dinner began.

"Lord Saga, I suggest you eat from your LenOo bird dish first."

And Rio said to Hayate, who sat face to face.

"Well, that smells really good to increase your appetite. It's the cook's suggestion. Okay, let's try it here."

As Rio was told, Hayate stretched out his chopsticks to the meat cut of the cut lenuo bird.

"That's called a vanilla grill. It's characterised by a slightly unique scent."

Fished by Rio's words, Hayate makes his nose snap.

"Hmm, indeed...... yummy!

The hint of tickling his nose stimulated his appetite and indulged in the fragrance, while Hayate put a cut of meat in his mouth.

At that moment, the juicy taste of the Renou bird exploded and Hayate opened his eyes to share his thoughts.

"Heh, I'm interested in what Master Hayate says so much. Which..."

and his deputy, who was watching the condition beside him, stretches out his chopsticks to the LenOo bird in the same way.

I just put that dish in my mouth the same way...

"Oh, yummy!

and this again leaked an exclamation exactly like Hayate.

The others also seem to have attracted interest, stretching their chopsticks one after the other to the LenOo bird and tongue-in-cheek at the dish.

"How can we serve this kind of flavoring?

They were concerned about the flavoring, and Hayate asked intriguingly.

"We use vanilla called salt, pepper, rosemary, oil called olive oil, and honey as a hidden flavor."

You can add garlic if you should, but some people don't like it when the scent of vanilla disappears and the flavor drops.

Rio eats it separately depending on his mood, but if he can eat it first, he made it by choosing who will enjoy the flavor.

"Hmm, that's all you can't hear except salt, pepper and honey. Speaking of pepper, isn't it Triconian's specialty spice? I heard it had a tingling taste, but I see..."

chewing the taste of meat, Hayate said as he roared.

"Yeah, they're all what I've been getting while traveling"

Triconia is a warm-climate country in the southwest of the Yagmo region, and Rio has never been to that country.

However, spices such as pepper have been successfully grown in some countries in the Strahl region, as well as among the spiritual people, so Rio owns them in large quantities.

"I see. Thank you very much for using your precious spices to behave like this. Why don't you let me talk to you later, slowly, if you like?

"Yeah, I don't mind."

"Thank you"

Beautiful bowing, Hayate resumed his meal.

Rio also starts eating.

Already those around them had eaten silently, and the chopsticks moved one after the other because of the excellent compatibility between the vanilla roasting of the lentil birds and the rice.

The miso soup is also well seasoned, and the fact that the miso is used thoroughly was peeked.

Hayate is obsessed with the deliciousness of the dish and continues to eat it, and the other men were silently compelled to cook.

Eventually, brewing liquor, one of the village's specialties, behaves, and the men's drunkenness begins to turn around a little bit.

"You guys, don't drink so much and let it ring tomorrow..."

And he said as Hayath was slightly frightened, as he advised his men, who were slightly blushing.

"Ha, I know. Admiral."

His men replied with a bitter smile.

He seems to be feeling a little better, but he won't even be able to look sloppy in front of his superior officer.

They continued to drink moderately.

Hayate, on the other hand, has no way of touching alcohol.

I asked him, and he doesn't seem to be unable to drink, but he seems to decide not to drink even at his place of stay during these assignments.

Quite a stoic figure.

"Lord Rio doesn't drink? Don't be shy of me, okay?

And Hayate told me to care about Rio, a younger boy who would go along with his story without drinking.

"No, there's some cleaning up after this. Plus, I have to work out my routine."

I explained why neither Rio nor myself would drink alcohol.

I have been trying to train at night since I came to this village because during the day I am being chased to help with the village's work.

If you're gonna drink, you're gonna have to be after your workout.

"Oh, you're still finishing some martial arts. It was predictable from the position of the foot and the center of gravity."

"Yes. Well, to a great extent."

"You don't have to be modest. I've traveled alone at your age. [M] That proves your strength."

Saying so, Hayate gave a soft grin.

With fierce wild animals, demons hostile to people, and even bandits, there are all sorts of dangers on the road if you're traveling.

Somewhat, to the extent that I'm addicted to martial arts, I can't possibly travel alone very much.

Because it's usually something that travels in groups.

"As I said earlier, would you let me talk about your journey, if you don't mind? Awkward people cross villages like this, but they've never traveled the country and the country together."

Turning an intriguing gaze, Hayate asked.

"Yeah, if it's your story."

Nodding small and to an extent not particularly unobstructed in teaching, Rio decided to tell the story of his journey.

"Right. Your parents are old acquaintances of Lord Yuba, and they've been looking for her and traveling. He still seems to have been a cheap person."

When I finished listening to Rio to some extent, Hayate said as he was impressed.

"No, it's an extra evaluation."

Out of embarrassment, he smiled softly and Rio shook his head (wearing it).

Talk to me, Rio feels that Hayate is not the type of person to flatter.

When it came to being praised straightforward by such people, there was something absurd about it.

Then I went on to talk a little bit...

"By the way, was Lord Rio's name named after an old king named Leo?

And Hayate has thrown such questions at me.

"Luo? No, I don't know..."

Sounds very similar, but doesn't sound familiar to the name, and Rio gave a strange look.

"Hmm, is that right? Well, he's a legendary king, and all he has left is a simple handover by dictation. I don't even know much about it."

And Hayate briefly told Rio the story of the king.

More than a thousand years ago.

In the dynasty that once existed in the land of the kingdom of Karaski, there was one king who could be told that he had reigned.

He said he was a strong, wise, gentle, and very great king.

And so many gathered together in admiration of him.

But he was too smart.

And I was too kind.

So few knew his true face.

Still, he wasn't lonely.

Because he had only one understander.

So he could work hard for everyone.

But then, for once, there was just one, huge sacrifice that could not be avoided.

Those who, from their previous achievements, did not doubt that Leo was the perfect king, are angry at the sacrifice.

Betrayal of great expectations became anger, and the people blamed him thoroughly.

When Leo apologizes for that failure, he takes responsibility and declares a change in the dynasty.

That is how the present kingdom of Karaski was born, he said.

His achievements had greatly stabilized the country, and a little later it turned out that, without the sacrifices made by Lleo at the time, there would surely have been a confusion in which the country could have fallen.

That's when they said they realized the greatness of Leo for the first time.

But by then, there will be no more Leo in that country.

The king of the kingdom of Karaski at the time, who was his subordinate, gave orders to the people to at least convey his gratitude and sincerity and to continue the legacy that honored his achievements.

Part of that inheritance still remains and is told to some.

"Was there such a king? It's my first ear."

"Well, they suspect it's real. I'm not even very famous. When my father first told me this story, the king only seemed pathetic, but these days it seemed different. In any case, I think your name is a good one..."

Hayate's face like that was smiling thinly.

Something tells me you like the king of his inheritance.

"Dear Hayate, Rio, tea please"

And there, Luli came with tea.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Mr. Luli, I'll take care of it."

While I was talking to Hayate, it seemed that Luli had cleaned up the bare minimum, and I felt sorry for him, and Rio apologized.

"Yeah. I've been letting Rio handle my dinner lately, and I need to do this much. Go ahead, Master Hayate."

With a smile on his face, saying so, Luli offers Hayate his tea.

"Shh, I'm sorry. Here you go!"

Hayate's movements then became visibly stiff.

Seeing how he was like that, Rio soothed.

Some things are honest and clumsy, but Hayate is a pure and honest person.

If you ask me, Hayate is only eighteen years old, and he's from a senior samurai house.

Even so, I can be very fond of wearing a patterned piece of clothing and not being unnecessarily prestigious.

He wanted some noblemen to apprentice him.

Though it's usually Rin's physical waist hayate, if you put Luli in front of you, you suddenly show a beginner (uvula) reaction.

It was obvious what feelings he had for Luli.

"Haha. It's not a big cup of tea, so I don't know if it suits your mouth."

Ugh, and with a grin, Luli laughed at Hayate.

"Yes, no, that's not true. This is the tea Lord Luli brewed for me. I can't compare it to their tea."

Hayate praises Luli for his tea before he even drank it yet.

"Huh? It's a normal cup of tea like the villagers drink. Besides, I haven't even had a drink yet. Totally no more."

As troubled by excessive praise, Luli laughed.

Something seems to mistake me for flattery.

(Sounds pretty sure)

But to Hayate's words and deeds, Rio further strengthens his own certainty.

That would be serious, not flattery.

Because in Rio's view, no doubt, Hayate was in love with Luli.

So much so that no one is more easily understood.

But that's not impossible either.

Even from my cousin Rio, Luli is a very attractive girl.

He has no complaints about his appearance or character, and he has a powerful beauty as if he were a circle of flowers blooming in the field.

Many of the young men in the village are also racing to dictate Luli.

Therefore, the antagonism against Rio is still in the midst of continuing smoking, mainly Sin, the leader of the young men of the village.

If there was a man living under the same roof as the opposite sex in his mind, he wouldn't be forced to learn to be jealous either.

Nevertheless, there is no such fact as they suspect between them.

Rio has an intuitive opponent in Rio, and Luli is aware of that.

And you instinctively sense that you are a cousin, there is a verse where Luli treats Rio like a brother.

Or she should have had a brother who died at an early age.

Maybe there's some overlap between that brother and Rio.

That's why their feelings are utterly worrying.

It's not like I don't have the slightest feeling about their emotions like that, but as the same guy, I don't understand their feelings.

So Rio was warmly flushing their jealousy.

Nevertheless, if you don't like that attitude of Rio, it's partly due to buying their disgust, but I wasn't even going to take care of you as Rio until then.

Nor did I feel like supporting them to make love to Luli like that.

But the thing about Hayate in front of me, he wanted to support him somehow, Rio thought.

If we want the future stability of our cousins, we also have the idea that we should marry Hayath, an excellent property, if it is enough to bind us poorly to the men of the village.

But that's how Rio feels to have said it, due in large part to Hayate's character.

I haven't seen him for a while yet, but somehow he can have the expectation that he will continue to love Luli all his life.

Most importantly, it is a prerequisite that Luli, who is a party, is willing to do so and that there will be no identity impairment.

If Luli has a favorite heterosexual in the village, she will have to support her relationship with you.

Nevertheless, Luli is old enough to think about marriage, but Luli seemed less interested in such things from Rio's point of view.

There are no floating stories with certain heterosexuals, and so much so that I haven't noticed all the approaches of the men who come near me to make floating stories.

Because of their equal treatment of everyone, they can also be a factor in accelerating men's mistakes.

As for the issue of identity, there is nothing left for Rio to judge because it is not bright on the marital circumstances of the samurai in this country.

But at least there's no doubt that Hayate is in love with Luli.

Then, whispering, it was not stingy to support the good young man in front of you.

Rio carries his tea. Luli is also good enough to join the story and waves the conversation to Hayate.

Hayate enjoyed his conversation with Luli, even though he looked like nothing else, and from time to time he has turned his gratitude gaze to Rio.

The dreamy time for Hayate like that quickly passed and sometime became a good time to sleep.

"Shall we open it up?"

Not too depressed by the conversation he had with Luli in his mind, Hayate knew exactly how to pull it off.

Such was what Rio preferred.

After that, when he cleaned up and led Hayate and the others to a room where they could go to bed, Rio decided to do the routine workout as usual at the garden tip.

No physical ability or physical strengthening is applied, even the mould is repeated.

If there are leaves that rarely fall from tree branches all over the dark at night, go for it and wave your sword.

That's how you chop up the leaves, and you go back to the mould motion as if you remembered.

Rio's body was lit by fire, and the hot air was rising like a white wax.

Once the Mithrill-made one-handed sword cuts off the sky with a sharp sound, it rests perfectly at just the height of Rio's gaze.

"... Phew"

And when I exhaled loudly, I put the sword I had in my hip sheath.

"Will that be all for today?"

When satisfied with the amount of training, he whines small and returns his heel.

At that time, Rio noticed a gaze of observation from afar and instantly turned his gaze towards you.

……

The opponent is stationary and distant.

Thanks also to the night darkness, I can't see its shape, but I can assure you that it was definitely seen by someone.

Because Rio was moving so hard, he should have been able to see Rio's shadow from a distance.

There is no way an intruder has entered the village.

In fact, in order to prevent crime in the village, Rio secretly stretches the enchantment line of intruder detection.

So as soon as an intruder comes from the outside, Rio can sense it.

But there's no reaction to someone coming inside the magical juncture.

Therefore, it is the people inside the village who are watching about Rio.

Already the villagers are a quiet time to sleep, but I can't say for sure until there are absolutely no people out there.

If there are shadows moving in the darkness at night like this, is it impossible to even look at them in doubt?

With that in mind and with a slight discomfort, Rio goes straight back inside the house.

Then washing her body and gently rehydrating her, she returned to her room and Rio went to sleep.
