Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

The day after he made the pact with Gowki, Rio was again in close contact with the King and his wife.

"I heard the story. Looks like you beat Goki. All I can say is brilliant."

At the top of the opening, Homla praises Rio in awe.

Prior to this intimate meeting, Homla had heard the results of the match in advance from Goki.

The country's most powerful swordsman and famous goki lost to a boy who was only fourteen years old.

At first I wondered what the joke was, but Homla knows best that Goki is not the person to make such jokes.

It took me by no means much time to take that fact, but I had managed to regain my composure between facing Rio in this way.

"Wow, Rio. I can't believe you beat that goki."

Sizuk praises Rio with an unholy smile.

Unlike Homla, where confusion is mixed in praise, Sizuk seems to be purely happy with Rio's victory.

"Thank you"

Rio bowed his head to the smell of light, remembering the strange murmur in the praise of letting go by Sizku.

"I thought of training under the gowk, but it seemed like a useless care..."

Say it, some lonely grin homra.

As a homura, I was going to let him do his training under the gowki if only Rio wanted to.

That would inevitably lead him to live in the Wang capital, and he secretly thought that he was going to be able to meet with Rio more often.

I have to refrain from making excessive contact with Rio beyond being able to reveal Rio's identity due to various circumstances, but I still had a desire to meet Rio.

Unfortunately, this may have been a good idea, and Homla decided not to stop.

"No, I was able to gain valuable experience. Because that's not the chance to fight someone like Lord Goki. Thank you for your consideration."

Know or not you feel like such a homura, Rio will thank you for the homura.

It may also be taken as disgusting in a way, but its voice color contained a thick apology.

"That would be..."

As he roars, Homla agrees with some of Rio's words.

Part of it was in that he would be blessed with the opportunity to pair up with a goki figure, but Homla's voice color included emotions that were hard to name.

There are no samurai more than goki in this country.

You probably won't be able to find it by looking around for neighboring countries.

Even so, Rio says he's further up than such a goki.

Otherwise I guess I wouldn't be able to travel alone from the Strahl region to the Yagmo region, but I can't help but be afraid that I have all that strength at this age.

How much talent do you have, or how much you've dived through a training ground?

In any case, if the complicated circumstances surrounding Rio did not exist, it would not have been strange to think of holding them in the country.

Homla can't help but laugh at the appearance of her face as a king.

"By the way, how long does Rio plan to stay in this country?

To cut off his thoughts as king, Homla decided to change the subject a little unnaturally.

Maybe it was really something you should have heard during yesterday, but there wasn't enough time from all the circumstances, and it wasn't that kind of atmosphere.

Though to switch thoughts, it doesn't make a difference that it's a topic to ask.

"We want to stay in this country until around next fall."

Rio answered Homla's question without hesitation.

The work on improving agriculture that Rio is proposing and working on is not yet complete.

To properly see its achievements, Rio wanted to stay in the village until the next harvest period.

"Oh. You're staying longer than I thought."

"Yes, because I have to help the village with its work."

"Mm, well...... Right..."

Imagining Rio working mixed with civilians, Homla gave him a glimpse of a complex expression for a moment.

It is only natural that Rio lives in a world where the common sense of royalty does not make sense, beyond the fact that Rio is royal and that Rio will never be treated as royal in public in the future.

Rio and Homla live in a different world.

I know that as a matter of course.

But until he actually heard how Rio lived, Homla unconsciously assumed Rio to be in the same world as himself.

He said he had just heard about Rio's harsh past background, and so far he had not imagined Rio living vividly in reality.

It was a manifestation of Homla's hidden desire for Rio, as well as a shallow thought.

Homla makes a bitter face to shame herself like that.

"Occasionally is fine. How about this way you come to the royal castle and be our talker?

I know that calling Rio in this way will interrupt Rio's life.

But still, I couldn't suppress my desire to meet and talk to Rio like this again.

If Rio is going to leave this country eventually, I'd like to talk a little bit about it.

Even if it's my fault.

"That's... yes. If you don't mind yourself."

With no reason to know the inside of such a homura, Rio replied modestly.

Even if there is no certainty, there is a lot of desire to do so in Rio as well.

"Right. Thanks."

Even though it was an informal setting, he also forgot that he was royal, and Homla bowed his head deeply to Rio.

Sizuk next door is also bowing his head to Rio.

"Stop bowing your head"

I round my eyes to those two figures, and Rio calls on Homla and Sizku.

Royalty, you shouldn't bow your head easily.

The exception would be with him, but now Rio thought it was not the time.

"No, there's no difference in letting us hang out with each other and take away our time. It's just annoying and hard work."

"That's not true"

Rio shook his head (wearing it) clearly at Homla, who spoke painfully.

"If I don't like meeting you, I refuse to come here."

Sometimes it was hard to say no because of the atmosphere of the gowks who came to summon them.

But still, if you really didn't like it, you wouldn't have tried to come to this place from the start.

Rio came here of his own free will.

"I still have a faint feeling, but I came to this place because I wanted to see a stranger's family"

With a little embarrassment, Rio keeps talking.

"I will eventually be gone from this country, but I feel the same way about wanting to warm up my intimacy as a family in the future"

Be Yuba, be Homla or Sizuk, they must be the ones who liked Rio's parents.

I want to get along with those people myself.

And I want to listen to my parents I don't know about.

It wouldn't be strange to think so.

"Rio......"

As I was impressed, Sizuk calls out Rio's name.

"Then we'll have to get a little closer..."

I said, Homla let go of his face, too.

Shit, the inside of the room calms down.

It was never a creepy silence.

There is some cozy air going on, and there is a pounding and conversation going on so that eventually we can grasp each other's sense of distance.

The conversation focuses on a smiling episode about Zen and Ayame, which is a common denominator for each other.

Now, on this occasion, it is unacceptable to speak of the ruthless topic of vengeance.

I didn't think very much of trying to talk about it getting dark like that.

That's how the three of them will continue to cheer until they feel comfortable.

"I don't have much time left, do you have anything to ask me?

Such warm time was not infinite either, and instantly the intimate meeting was about to come to an end.

After this meeting, he stays another night at Gouki's house and Rio is to return to the village.

Although we exchanged promises to meet again at a later date, it has only been decided that Goki will come to the village as a messenger after seeing the fold, and no specific dates have been decided.

I didn't know when I would be able to see him next, and if I wanted to say anything, I needed to tell him on this occasion.

"I now have a paternal cousin girl in the village where I live. May I speak to that child about my qualities?

Ask Rio for permission to disclose his own information about Luli.

It is not preferable for more people to know Rio's qualities without darkness, but I wanted to teach Luli about his relationship with himself.

Even though Rio knows he's in a kinship with Luli, Luli doesn't know about it.

Yet Luli treats me as well as Rio and his family.

I could feel it deceiving to keep the truth from her forever like that.

It's hard to disclose how far the information is, but it's difficult to be taught halfway and have bad curiosity, so if you're going to teach, you'll be telling the whole story.

Teaching, of course, creates a slight risk of secrets being leaked, but as long as Luli remains silent, there is nothing wrong with that.

"Hmm. Cousins. There is no problem if you can keep secrets strictly. Let's trust that judgment."

Though he showed some thought, Homla gave him permission.

I guess that means I trust you about Rio.

"Thank you"

The next day, when he dated Comomo's workout again and had a brief match with Hayate, Rio was dropped off by the Saga family and left the Goki house.

Normally it takes half a day to get around, but Rio takes less than an hour to get to the village.

When he returns to the village, he is welcomed "back" by the villagers, and Rio also greets the villagers he meets with a voice.

"Rio, welcome back"

When I entered the house I was now used to living in, Yuba, sitting in the hall, welcomed Rio with a laugh of Lang (more) and others.

"Yes, I'm back now"

I'm glad you're smiling the same way you did before you went to Wang Capital, and Rio can unwittingly flaunt your face.

"Looks like we've been talking about it."

"Yes."

"Should I change my tone when we're alone?

"Please don't"

Rio laughs bitterly and says no to Yuba's suggestion that he joked.

Then Yuba laughed karakara.

"Me and you are grandmothers and grandchildren that Rio would be royal. That's what I think. As long as you think so, this relationship will continue."

"... thank you"

Softening his expression and nodding, Rio lowered his back to the front of Yuba.

"I have been given permission by Mr. Luli to reveal his identity. Would it be okay if I told her that story?

When we exchanged conversations in place of greetings, looking to Yuba with a serious face, Rio brought up the story in no small measure.

Listening to Rio's sincere gaze, Yuba took a small, deep breath.

"That kid has blood connected to Rio, too. Besides, Luli deserves to know more than we live together like this. I support you."

Placing for a few seconds, Yuba answered with a relaxed voice.

Straight gaze at each other.

"Where is Mr. Luli now?

"I thought you were having tea with the women in the village. If you've heard rumors of Rio's return via the villagers, it might be time to come back."

Now that the harvest season was over, there were few village jobs, and the villagers felt spared time.

There is nothing special to do but work in a village where there is nothing, and when even that job is lost, there is only so much to waste between the villagers.

Recently, Luli also had no work and more days were spent talking with girls her age in the village from day to day.

"I'm home! Welcome back, Rio!

Rumor struck the shadow, and soon Luli came home.

Upon confirmation of Rio's presence immediately, he spoke to Rio with a smile like a flower blooming.

It was a little funny that I went home on my own and greeting Rio home at once, and I laughed that Rio was dull.

"Yes, I'm back now, Mr. Luli"

"Yeah! I was surprised because I went to Wangdu all of a sudden. Grandma won't explain it to me."

Luli glanced over his shoulder to make him feel slightly dissatisfied with what he had not told me.

You can't ask me what happened straight, but I still seemed to care.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to Mr. Luli about that. I just need you to keep your story a secret when you hear it."

He grinned somewhat distressingly there, Rio said.

"Uh-huh, what do you mean?

To a vague explanation, Luli asks tilting her neck.

"What I talk about is mainly about why I decided to live in this house this way. I can't explain this to you unless you promise to keep it a secret."

Because I can't explain the situation in detail, I really have to put it in a meaningful way.

To figure out Luli's answer. Rio peered into the face.

"... ok. I promise."

Rulli takes the lead with a quiet but powerful voice.

Taking that sincere look, Rio decided to explain the situation to Luli.

Follow one order at a time to talk about the circumstances in which Rio was placed.

"Huh? Huh? Rio is my cousin, but your mother is royal..., eh!?"

When Rio's mother told him she was royal, Luli looked exactly like a dove ate a bean cannon.

"Uh, it's some kind of joke, isn't it?

As he asks for his consent, Auntie and Luli ask.

"It's true. Rio's father... your uncle was bound to the princess of this country."

With a serious look on his face, Yuba testified that Rio's story was true.

From the way it looks, it doesn't look like Yuba is lying.

Comparing the faces of Yuba and Rio over and over again,

"Uh, Li, Rio... Dear Sir, I'm sorry! Numerous disrespects so far!

Luli lay flat like he had eaten a bubble.

Thinking back on all the familiar things I've done with Rio, I thought I'd done something very disrespectful.

"Let's not do that. Because it's as good as ever!

Rio said in haste to stop Luli like that.

"So, but..., Master Rio will be royal, won't he?

"This story is not something I can do publicly. Royalty is nothing but an unauthorized fact, and I don't think I'm royal either."

Rio speaks with a bitter smile to Luli, who looks up at perhaps Rio.

"So please. Please keep up the good work."

A very uncomfortable looking bitter smile on Rio's face appeared in his sight, and Luli judged from his previous relationship that Rio was genuinely saying so.

That's right.

Rio is a person who does that without doing anything, but he never imitated those talents on his nose.

Just because that turns out to be royalty now, Luli is also well aware that she is not a snotty person who can change her attitude once in a while.

"Wow, I get it..."

That's what Luli agreed to.

But it is still a nervous voice.

And unconsciously, the tone remained stiff.

"You're not back in tune, are you?

Point it out so that Rio can tear it up.

"Oh, ha,... yeah"

I almost answered with an unintentionally hard tone, but managed to keep it in mind, grinning, and Luli nodded.

"I think all of a sudden my cousin shows up and I'm confused, thank you for your continued support"

Keep your head down like it's changed, Rio.

But his face was delighted.

"Oh, yeah. Well... me and Rio are cousins."

Luli also lowered her head back, and when she raised its head again, she blinked her eyes.

Until now, the shock of the fact that Rio is the son of a royal family has been too great, and Luli completely lost sight of the fact that Rio is also his own cousin.

In the first place, I wanted to tell you the fact that I was Luli and my cousin, so I explained the situation.

Although I had expected it, as for Rio, Luli's reaction is the end of the line.

"Oh well, besides my grandmother, I had a family... Oh, then you're my sister because I'm one older..."

Gradually swallowing what that fact meant, Luli grinned to bite off the joy.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Uh, nice to meet you!

Luli noticed the fact that he was being seen ridiculously by Rio as he broke his face a little sloppy about what he was thinking.

That's how he turned back to me, blushed a little, and Luli rushed to bow his head to Rio.

"... Oh, but I just have one thing to say to Rio. Okay?"

You came up with something, and when you raised your head, Luli looked at Rio with a serious look.

"Yes. What is it?

Rio also looks back at Luli with a serious look on his face.

When he took that gaze and coughed up as small as he wanted to play something, Luli opened his mouth as he thought out.

"I'm glad you fixed Rio's tone. I cautioned you when I first met you, but you've been speaking in a polite tone ever since. I'm your cousin, so I'd like you to be closer to me."

And somewhere reluctantly, but slightly dissatisfied, Luli said.

"Well, as I said before, this is like a habit. For once, if the person you dealt with in this tone doesn't have so many reasons, you'll be confused to return to the tone..."

He smiles bitterly like trouble and Rio explains the situation.

It doesn't mean I'm not good at talking to people, but this is really Rio's nature already.

Unless the opponent is a child or an arrogant, hostile opponent, Rio is not comfortable talking to the first person he meets familiarly.

Of course, if you get close, you sometimes talk smashed, but unless there's some trigger, you learn to be embarrassed, and you try to keep talking inert and hard.

"That's not why we're cousins?

Can't you be convinced of Rio's explanation like that, Luli stared at Rio with a jitty eye.

I've never had much time with Rio, and I'm indebted to him a lot.

Besides, don't you think it's between you and your cousin?

Yet I missed Luli as Rio treated me with a stiff tone.

When he took Rulli's gaze, he looked slightly frightened, and Rio immediately smiled embarrassingly and bitterly.

"... sorry. Right. This is how I'm going to talk to Luli from now on. Is this it?

That's what Rio said, and he hung up.

It conveyed the feeling of itching somewhere, but I was happy with that for Luli.

"Yeah!"

Momentum nodded well and Luli replied with pleasure.
