Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

Winter is over, spring is here.

Installation of water pumping water trucks and waterways has already been completed, and the water trucks are running as necessary and running water into the waterways leading to the village.

That's how the villagers initially looked up to the sight of the water truck pumping water and pouring it into the waterway.

But soon accustomed to its convenience, it is now an indispensable part of village farming.

Improvements to the soil had also been completed, and Rio was currently working with several villagers to sow for this year's harvest.

"Rio. My area of responsibility has been sown as I was told."

"Thank you. Then can you help someone who's not done yet with their work?

"Copy that!"

The conversation between the two people, played out of a slightly remote position, echoes around them.

Since Rio revealed his relationship to Luli, the two of them have been close before.

Sometimes Luli was originally a nostalgic girl, but with Rio changing the way he talked to Luli, he seemed more comfortable with her than before from the side.

The young village ladies asked Luli why Rio changed his tone so they could compete, but he couldn't even tell her the real reason, and had to answer appropriately by teasing her.

In the end, Luli just said, "I live in a house with you, and I just asked you to stop because I'm tired of talking the hard way forever".

For once, it was not even a reason to be convinced, but more people will think that Rio and Luli have become friends between men and women.

The change in pattern between these two led to the fact that the majority of the girls who had been secretly after Rio were also to leave that race altogether.

(I wonder if those two will be dating after all...)

But there was a girl here who still hadn't given up.

It is Sayo.

She offered to help Rio and get to work, but now I didn't care how Rio and the others were doing about my eyes.

Sayo was treading that Luli wasn't after Rio, but as far as the relationship between the two of us is concerned, maybe we should reconsider.

No, I felt strongly that I had to reconsider.

I don't know what to say, but watching you two talk gives me some chest.

Sayo can't help but be anxious, as Rio's rhetoric about Luli seems to manifest a wall that the women of other villages cannot overcome.

"Mr. Sayo, can I help you sow it?

That's how I keep thinking about Blur and Rio, and Rio of the day came to Sayo.

"Oh, Master Rio! Shh, sorry! Bo, stay with me!

With Rio laughing bitterly and offering to help, Sayo returns to me.

When I looked around in a hurry, it was clear that Sayo's pace of work was remarkably slow.

Noticing that, Sayo turns a slightly tanned white face bright red.

"Remember that well. After I'm gone from the village, Sayo will tell everyone in the village how to seed it."

You thought Sayo didn't remember the procedure properly, or Rio said that.

"Huh...?

When I heard Rio's words, I didn't just say water in my sleeping ear, but blood drew from Sayo's face.

"Oh, that! Master Rio! Are you leaving this village?

Sayo rushes to Rio, who has already begun seeding work.

Rio leaves this village.

Speaking of which, when Rio came to this village in the first place, I think I heard that.

Until now, however, Sayo had completely lost sight of the fact that Rio was leaving the village.

"Yes, you should be leaving this village next fall"

Rio answers in a slightly remote position.

I have a lonely grin somewhere, but I can't feel the sway in Rio's will to leave this village.

"Next fall..., yes... what is it? You're going."

Such is the will of Rio that Sayo returns the words weakly.

"What's wrong?

I heard no reply from Sayo and asked with a strange look on Rio's face.

"Oh, no! It's nothing!

Sayo shook his head like he panicked.

Maybe he suddenly looked depressed.

But Sayo decided to try so hard to immerse himself in the work that he couldn't bother Rio any more.

Because if I hadn't, I would have cried out right now.

"Good luck to you all! Thanks to you, I was able to finish my predetermined work by the end of the day. Remember what I taught you today, sow the same from next year"

When he finished the day's work and taught him what to teach in advance, Rio declared the end of the work.

Finally, on this occasion, Rio informed the villagers that he would leave this village in the next autumn.

As I said when I first came to the village, I was willing to remind you of the knowledge that Rio teaches by passing it on again here.

There is now no one in the village who doubts Rio's knowledge with the merits of waterwheels and waterways.

It seems that Rio's presence has become perfectly normal, and the villagers seem to have been shocked, but none of the disturbers showed up.

The time is already evening and the villagers will be dissolved on the spot.

"Rio! Good luck ~. Shall we go home soon?

Rio and Luli, whose houses we live in, will naturally go home together.

The house where Sayo lives is in the opposite direction.

Let's go home together. It's too unnatural to say.

Sayo couldn't help but envy Luli.

"Copy that. Good luck with Luli, too. What shall we do for dinner tonight?

"Oh, well, I'd love to use some leftover vegetables for some rice cooking"

Sayo takes a stunning look at the two of them walking behind each other as they talk with pleasure.

From the content of the conversation, I thought it was blurry, as if it were a couple.

In time, Sayo and I will be on our way home.

The atmosphere was unusually dark, and all the villagers on the road hesitated to speak to Sayo.

"Huh..."

When I got home, my strength fell out of my knees and Sayo sat up in the front door.

I nod straight to the ground and cry out like I cut a weir (seiki).

"It's just..., oh, hey, Sayo!?

That's just where Singh comes home and sees Sayo crying.

Speak like you panicked, but Sayo will never raise his face.

I remembered the villagers who were on their way with Singh saying that something was wrong with Sayo, and I hurried to speak up.

"What's up? Is something wrong?

Sayo's reaction is thin.

Singh desperately considered the cause of Sayo crying.

"That guy..."

There was only one thing Sin felt in the cause of Sayo crying.

There may be other causes, but I can only imagine one person capable of making this many emotional changes to Sayo.

"Son of a bitch in Rio... what the fuck did you do"

Sayo looks like he's taking care of the bamboo (kanzi) that Rio gave him.

I'll gladly talk to you when I wave you a story about Rio in the house.

Ever since my parents died, I have routinely peeked into the grin of my childhood when I behaved and showed less in front of myself these days.

So that's how Singh decided that the person now making Sayo cry must be Rio.

"Chi, no...... Dear Rio, it's not bad..."

Sin's voice, trembling with anger, reached Sayo's ear, and Sayo hastily clarified.

I haven't been able to speak well because I'm crying.

From Sin's point of view, the appearance of such a sister only made me feel so angry.

"Guy like that, I knew I didn't have to come to this village"

Say, Sin felt terrible resistance.

Life in this village is clearly better thanks to Rio's arrival.

If Rio hadn't come, Luli could have been badly hit by the gong.

That's how I am in my heart acknowledging Rio's existence.

But when I saw my sister crying in front of me, I still had to wonder if it would have been better if Rio hadn't come to this village.

If that was the case, then at least now my sister shouldn't be crying.

"No, no, Master Rio's leaving the village..., so..."

Sayo tried to explain that Rio wasn't bad.

But honestly, Sin might decide Rio is bad.

"No, because Master Rio has nothing to do with it..."

Realizing that that was the other way around, Sayo quickly re-said that Rio had nothing to do with it.

But it's no longer too late.

"He's leaving the village... Or..."

Singh had a point where she wondered if that was what was making her sister cry.

You look like you chewed up a bitter bug.

Sin also knew the fact that Rio would eventually leave this village.

I had completely lost sight of that these days because I was too familiar with the village, but that was something that Rio had been informed of since the beginning of his coming to this village.

Sin didn't initially care about Rio because the villagers embraced him naggedly because he was nothing more than a temporary villager and, by the way, he was close to Luli.

……

Singh thought.

What do I do?

I wondered how Sayo would stop crying.

But Singh was more aware of that than anyone that he was not much of a thinker.

Blood came up on his head as he was thinking, and the next moment, Singh ran out of the spot.

Instead of thinking about it, I decided to act on my instincts.

"Oh, brother! Wait, wait!

Sayo's voice was heard trying to stop him from behind, but Singh continued to run at all costs, regardless.

That's how soon we get to Yuba's house.

"Hey, Rio!

Changing his blood phase, he opened the door of the house and Singh shouted out Rio's name.

Three people, Rio, Yuba and Luli, who were preparing dinner in the hall to that appearance, open their eyes to surprise.

"What can I do for Rio?

After a few moments, Yuba asked for help in a surprise voice.

It's also a pretty rare thing that that Sin has errands to do in Rio, but the temper that comes from that desperate phase isn't all that matters either.

What the hell is the matter with you?

"Please! Stay in the village!

Say, Singh sat down in the ground.

"Become..."

Rio and the others stop.

"I know you're saying something unsolicited! But I don't want you to say anything. Will you continue to be in the village!?

Sayo is crying.

I couldn't speak those words, and Singh even kept her head down to Rio.

If Rio and the others don't succeed in their actions without Sin's thumping...

"Oh, brother! Shh, sorry! My brother bothered you..."

Here comes Sayo, who let him out of breath there.

I rounded my eyes at the figure of Singh sitting on the ground, but I speak to Singh like I was in a hurry.

"Look, brother. Because of the inconvenience caused to Mr. Rio and the others. Look, right?

Sayo pulls Sin's body.

There was a thorough grin on my little sister's face with a glimpse.

There are also tear marks in the eye.

The tone is gentle, but its desperation came through, and Singh lifted her body weakly.

"Oh, oh...... Wari no."

Lost in that temper, Singh uttered a blatant apology.

"I'm so sorry! My brother and I will talk properly!

Sayo bows his head deeply.

Sin also lowered his head with him next to it looking uncomfortable.

It's usual for Singh to act without thinking about it later when there's blood on his head.

I don't know how many times I've bothered Sayo like that.

When I did it again, Singh had all sorts of bad feelings.

"... ok. Don't ask me what happened now. Is that okay, Rio?

Yuba is well aware that Sin often takes actions without clapping like this.

We also know what reasons lie behind that when we take such action.

Seeing his brothers and sisters keep bowing their heads deeply, with Rio and Luli on their asses, who remained silent, he answered with a small sigh, and Yuba asked Rio.

"Yes, I don't mind..."

Seeing the two brothers and sisters bow their heads flashly, I felt like I couldn't resist anything, and Rio agreed.

Honestly, Rio doesn't know what it is either.

This is the arrowhead that told the villagers when they were leaving the village that it would be a milestone.

Besides, the shock was enormous that that sin held himself back.

If you two are nothing, maybe it's not even a question you should go in and ask.

No answer could be given on the spot, and Rio followed Yuba's suggestion.

"Thank you!

After receiving the words of Rio and the others, once again, to thank him, Singh went straight home so that he could be dragged by Sayo.

"Let's just eat"

A deep sigh into the back of it, Yuba said.

Slash it on the skin. Rio and Luli also begin to act.

Dinner was an irresistible atmosphere, and Singh's behavior never came to the fore.

"Rio, I need to ask you something, okay?

After dinner, when he finished cleaning up, Rio was spoken to by Yuba.

"Yes, what is it?

"Can I ask you what you're going to do after you leave this village?

I had heard from the very beginning that Rio would eventually leave the village to stay, but I had never asked in depth why.

It's a topic that somehow caught my mind and I've never heard before, but Singh just made such a case today.

Yuba thinly speculates about one of the reasons Rio leaves the village, but watching how Rio was doing seemed to me to have several other reasons.

So Yuba decided never to ask.

Luli, listening beside him, stares at Rio.

"After you left this village..."

Rio took a moment to answer the question.

After leaving the village we intend to return to the Strahl region, but before then we will have a face in the people of the Spirit.

I intend to gather information on Lucius when I return to the Strahl region.

And I want to report to Celia, my mentor, that I'm safe.

I only wrote to Celia once using a pseudonym, and I haven't made any contact since.

My skin doesn't fit with the nobles of the Kingdom of Beltram, except Celia.

At present, it is unclear what is going on with the treatment of Rio within the Kingdom of Beltram, but there is as much to hide as there is now.

It might be a good idea to infiltrate the Kingdom of Beltram to see Celia.

"I'm not connected to blood, but I had a kid who admired me for being my brother. I'm going to see that kid. And then there's the benefactor over there, so I'd like to show my face to him too."

"Well, there were those kids."

Yuba sounded intrigued by the presence of Rio and the intimate ones he had first heard.

Luli seems to be interested as well.

"Yes. My sister is twelve now, isn't she? The benefactor must be just twenty years old."

"Hmm, you're both still young"

It's preferable to have those people in Rio.

If you're going to see them, you can't stop Yuba.

"Are you willing to come back to this village someday?

"Right. I don't know when, but I want to show my face to this village again."

Although not so frequently available, if the travel time is shortened with metastatic crystals, Rio can come from the Strahl region to the Yagmo region with a sense of about a small trip.

I've had a lot of connections, I've run errands, and I wanted to come back here as long as I allowed time.

"Right. You should come back any time. You're already fully recognized as a member of this village."

"... Yes. Thank you."

Rio thanked Yuba with a warm smile, embarrassed.

Yuba reappears a slightly lonely grin on Rio's smile like that.

"And I'm talking about Sin today. I can easily predict why Sin went into such action..."

"Uh, yeah. On second thought, I feel like I'm involved."

Sending a glimpse to Rio, Luli agreed with a bitter laugh.

Rio doesn't seem to know exactly what that means, he's leaning his neck.

They laughed bitterly at Rio's reaction like that.

"Next time, I'll talk to you from my side. Don't ask me if you've gotten in too far. Will you treat me the way I've always been?

"Hmm. As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to talk to Sayo for a moment... but I'll leave it to Grandma"

You thought it would be unfavourable for more than one person to go and ask about the situation at the same time, and Luli understood while showing a slight state of disapproval.

"Yeah, I know myself."

There was something that did not fall to the heart, but Rio also replied to the consent, and the occasion was to be dissolved.
