The day after Rio and the others came to the king's capital, under the dazzling blue sky, Rio was walking with Sayo throughout the city of the king's capital for two.

The two are buying preferences that the villagers have asked for, and the other villagers are going to sell traded goods or to buy large quantities of supplies necessary for the daily life of the village.

"After all, there are plenty of people in Wangdu."

Sayo leaks his admiration when he first comes to Wang Du and is impressed with everything.

To Sayo's words, Rio also looked at the landscape of the King's capital that spread around him.

Rio is also the first to come to the king's capital of this country.

There are many lacquered wooden architectural houses in the Kingdom of Karaski, somewhat lined with houses with an atmosphere similar to oriental architecture.

Because they are both you, it is almost impossible to know what kind of store your preferences are sold.

I asked the villagers what it would be like to leave the buyout to those two, but on top of the lack of people, Rio was only told that he would also be able to calculate.

It wasn't exactly the reason I didn't mean it, but this is how I came to buy it out with Sayo.

Currently, they are walking through the commercial compartment and are looking for items of interest to explore the various shops.

Today I was slowly going around various shops because I was told that I could take a tour of Wang Du at the end of the day.

"Mr. Sayo is the first person in his own right to leave the village, isn't he?

"Yes, your brother went back to Wangdu once before, listened to a lot of things and wanted to come all the time."

"I'm glad you got your wish."

"Yes! I really want to dream! Besides, I can't believe we can do sightseeing like this."

"I'm sure everyone cared because we're the first king's capital."

"Yes. Yes, I think so."

My last words were somewhere with a bad tooth cut and even a slight blush on my cheek.

Nevertheless, Rio was careful not to be pushed by the surrounding people-waves, so he never noticed how it was.

"And yet the view of the royal castle looking up from below is wonderful!

Somewhere in a hurry, Sayo said.

"Right. I've traveled all kinds of countries, but I've never seen a castle like that."

The capital of King Karaski is built to surround a small high hill, and a royal castle exists at the top of its centre.

The view of the royal castle from downtown was just a roll away.

Enjoying that landscape, walking around the city...

"Are you two young people there on a date?

and was called out by a woman merchant who ran an outdoor store.

Apparently they sell trinkets for women.

"Oh, no, uh..."

Her face turned bright red to the words of the female clerk, and Sayo tried to reply to many things.

"He came from the village to Wangdu to buy out at the end of the deal."

On behalf of Sayo, whose thought circuit is on the verge of being short, Rio explains the situation.

"Oh, really? Heh."

Saying, the woman merchant turned her gaze to Sayo, who was shrinking with a reddish face.

Sayo makes his face even more red with a glance that sees through somewhere.

"Brother, this is how you came to Wang Du, why don't you buy her something to commemorate?

to, and floating a sales smile, she has encouraged the purchase of the product.

I knew I'd talked to you for sales purposes from the beginning, but it's a hard way to take a no.

It just seemed to Rio that I couldn't read the air enough to say no here.

"... right. Mr. Sayo. Do you want something?

With a bitter smile, Rio asked Sayo.

Rio has enough roadblocks available in this country.

It doesn't hurt my nostrils when I bought one or so gifts for Sayo.

I also felt a little discouraged from declining the invitation in this situation, so Rio decided to give you a ride to the sales talk of the female merchant.

"Huh!? Oh, no, I'm sorry!

As he panicked, Sayo tries to decline Rio's offer.

With his hands in front of him and his neck swinging vigorously from left to right, Rio laughed ridiculously.

"Don't hesitate, but you'll be fine."

"That's right! Because a man is buying a gift, it's polite to let him buy it as a woman."

Don't let Sayo shy away, in an easygoing breeze, when Rio urged, the female merchant hitched a ride to it.

"That's what I'm talking about. Go ahead."

"Uh... oh, well, then..."

Pushed by the two words, bewildered, Sayo decided to take a look at the product on display.

At first it felt roughly like it, but soon Sayo gave him a serious look.

That's how Rio silently waits for the merchant to explain and stare at the product.

Eventually, Sayo took the adorable design (kanzi) with the flower-like text in his hand.

"Ooh. Your eyes are high. You have good taste. It's one thing."

"Uh, is it expensive?

As somewhere shy, Sayo asks.

"Hmm, how about sixty pieces of copper?

It does not mean that even ordinary civilians are too expensive to reach.

But it was a lot of money for Sayo, who lived in a village and didn't have much money.

"Is that okay? Mr. Sayo."

"Oh, but..."

In a wind you've never felt, Rio confirms Sayo's will.

Sayo, however, alternated between Kanzashi and Rio and looked bewildered.

"Sister. Give me that."

"Huh?"

From the look of such a sayo, he found that he liked it, so Rio informed him of his willingness to buy it.

Sayo gave a frightened look when he saw Rio offering a piece of silver money.

"Every time! The fact that you don't value a gift for a woman is a good impression!

I heard you came from the village, and I could have given you a little more value for not even bringing it that far, but to Rio, who has paid for it lightly, the female merchant turns his eyes round.

but immediately floated a full sales smile and upon receiving the silver coin, the woman merchant offered forty pieces of copper coin.

When Rio received it, the merchant approached Sayo with a twist.

"Well, why don't you just put it on?

"Uh, ah, yes"

Then, with a familiar hand, the female merchant set a pigeon (kanzashi) on Sayo's head.

Sayo was somewhat in a state of dream (yume depression) and embraced it as he was.

The thin red floral pigeon (kanzaki) contrasts well with the semi-long dark hair stretched up to the shoulder and the white skin of the sayo.

"You look great!

"Yeah, I think it's nice"

"Oh, thank you!

Nicole and I smile lovingly, and the female merchant tells us what she thinks.

Then Rio shared his thoughts, and Sayo dyed his cheeks red and thanked him.

"You do your best to make things work. 'Cause this boy looks like he's got a lot of competition."

And when I gave her a light wink, the woman merchant told her to sound just like Sayo.

"Eh."

To the words, Sayo shrunk and leaned down.

"Then is it time to go? Mr. Sayo."

"Yes!

"Looking forward to seeing you again ~!"

In an attempt to resume shopping again, the two walk out.

The woman merchant spoke on the backs of two such departing men.

After a short walk, with a delightful grin, Sayo said, "Thank you!," she smiled as she bowed her head momentously to Rio.

Afterwards, after a short walk around the Wang capital, the two return to the improvised accommodation.

Then, the villagers discovered that Sayo was wearing a pigeon on his head, and after various pursuits, Sayo turned his face bright red.

The trader seems to have been able to sell off the goods well, and it is decided to leave for the village two days after that.

Even when he returned to the village, the head of Sayo was dressed with a pair (kanzashi) given to Rio at forty-six o'clock, and words of recourse were thrown by the women.

A few days after Rio and the others left King's Capital.

At the Saga family, senior samurai of the kingdom of Karaski, the current lord, Saga-Goki, was facing his own son, Hayath.

"A letter from Lord Yuba?

In a low voice that makes you feel powerful, Goki said.

"Yes, it seems to be an important letter and I want it delivered."

"Um, well...... And the letter?

"This way."

Upon receiving the letter offered by Hayate, Goki broke the seal with a polite hand that did not suit her physique.

Not that I'm grumpy, but Goki has a strict and slightly more difficult personality.

No matter what happens, he doesn't move, he just sits back and sees things.

There is also an anecdote that the two names Goki, the god of God, once shook up the soldiers of the Rocklen kingdom of neighbouring countries.

That is the image Hayath holds against Goki, and Hayath and his sisters (today) respected such a father.

Especially so much so that Hayate's younger sister under eight and others have publicly declared that they will not marry unless they are stronger than Goki.

There can't even be a person stronger than my father in this country.

Besides, Goki still looks somewhat tricky and stares at the letter.

"Huh!?

But at one point, such a goki gave him a peek at his apparently stunned expression.

I perceive the appearance, and the colour of surprise also floats in Hayate's expression.

(Sometimes it's unusual for a father to put his emotions on the table. Is that so important news?

I care, but I can't even speak to the father reading the letter.

Hayate stared at the goki reading the letter.

Somehow Goki moves his gaze at a tremendous rate and follows the text written in the letter.

I thought I had a sinking face, even a grin as if I were happy with something.

Even after I finished reading it once, it seemed like I was rereading it over and over again so that there was no mistake.

"Tell me more about a boy named Rio."

When he read the letter many times and made sure the facts were correct, Gouki asked about Rio.

Why does the story of Rio come out here?

Goki's voice was trembling.

Is it anger, sadness, or by joy again?

Hayate could not grasp the sentiment, but decided to talk about Rio as he was commanded.

"Ha, he said he was fourteen. He was polite, extremely personable, and a cheap person who made me feel like I was not a samurai."

"Right..."

He grinned like a gnaw, and a goki, at the appraisal of a person who praised him roughly for letting go.

"This is not how I am. We must ascend to His Majesty now. Hayate, well done. I brought this letter home. That was brazen."

Say, Goki got up quickly.

"Has Lady Ayame died? Zen...... No, now I need to tell His Majesty of the existence of Master Rio as soon as possible..."

Leaving a caged grunt of complex emotions, the gowki walks away from the room freshly.

Hayath looked behind him.

"What the hell was that..."
