Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

Episode 48: Towards Traveling

The season was in front of the summer, and Rio was in close contact with the King and his wife.

Now Rio is talking to the homuras about improving agriculture, which is beginning to bear fruit in the village.

In the agricultural lands in which Rio was involved, the yields are clearly higher than in other agricultural lands, as are the fruits from which they grew.

The difference was obvious, the villagers ecstatically thanked Rio, and from the next fiscal year it was unanimously passed to farm in Rio's way.

When we talked about it, Homla expressed a deep interest.

In fact, Rio tells this story to interest Homla from the beginning, and this flow can be as assumed.

As for Rio, he wanted to spread his knowledge safely and securely because he just wanted to spread the technology and avoid disproportionate attention to that village.

With the involvement of Homla, the king, the prospect will be brilliantly accomplished, Rio is stepping on.

Rio will explain the shape of agricultural tools, how to sow them, how to use fallow land, improve soil, install water pumping water trucks, create waterways, etc.

Homla was listening to the story with a serious face, and the sizzles and gowks he was hearing beside him were also listening with interest.

Homla seems to have been particularly interested in water pumping trucks.

"I've had a lot of meaningful stories"

I talked for about an hour, and as I was really satisfied, Homla said.

"Goki, would you do a field investigation on this matter as soon as possible? If we succeed, we intend to disseminate it domestically from next fiscal year."

If Rio's story is true, there is no hand in not making that improvement.

Homla was looking to leave the investigation to the trustworthy and, if feasible on top of that, to execute it from the following year.

Goki should also be easy to work with Rio.

"My pleasure."

"Um, please. Then you need to boil down the conditions."

Talks about this matter were to be repeated for some time afterwards.

Where the story ends, Homla looks at Goki and Kayoko.

Where the gowks responded to that gaze...

"So, Rio..."

Somehow he had a strange face and, as if playing, Homla brought up the story with him to Rio.

"I have something important to tell you today."

"Is that an important story?

Rio asks with a strange voice.

From Homla came the atmosphere.

Rio corrects his posture in order to accept the temper from the front.

"Oh, yeah, it's about revenge."

Tingling, and Rio's eyebrows move.

Until now, there has been some implicit understanding among Rio and the others that they will not touch on the topic of revenge.

It's not an easy topic to touch, and the only thing that comes up where I touch is resentment and productive conversation.

"What are you talking about?

Does this mean that there is anything other than to expose thoughts such as resentment when it comes to bringing up the story?

Rio decided to set his posture right for a little while and look at Homla.

"Hmmm......"

Homla peeks deeply into Rio's eyes throwing questions.

Its decaying leaf (tickle) colored eyes had a solid view of reality.

It doesn't convey stray or hesitant.

With good eyes, Homla thought he had been dealing with more humans than he could ever count.

"... Non also hates about a man named Lucius. I really wish I could help you out with that. You can't leave this country with hatred."

"I guess that's natural..."

I haven't swallowed the true meaning of the story yet, but Rio hammered.

Homla is the monarch of a nation.

It is only natural that such a human being should not be able to abandon his country and go to vengeance far from the other land because of how many daughters he has killed.

"There you go, I'm going to give you a minister even though you were a few. Instead of Nan and Shizuku, he is a helper. Use it as you like."

"Ha, uh...?

He continued to impress upon the story told, and Rio was unwittingly rigid.

It is exactly water in the sleeping ear.

Homla looked at Rio's flashing face just a little bit ridiculously.

"Yes, no, but that's not..."

The understanding is finally catching up, but still Rio remains perplexed.

The words of homura still ring in Rio's ears.

Is Homla serious?

Could it be some kind of mishearing?

"There are ten ministers to give to that. The first ones who picked him up at the village."

There were just ten people there at that time, including goki and kayoko.

"No way... Lord Goki and Lord Kayoko too?

Such an idiot, Rio got stuck in words.

"Exactly. I've already confirmed the will of the two of you."

Homla speaks in a calm tone.

"... If Lord Gouki is no longer from the country, will there ever be a problem that is not small?

Goki is a senior samurai in the country.

Its strength is one thousand, and it has a track record and trust that it has accumulated in this country.

If you throw that at him and the gook disappears flutter, there's definitely got to be a problem for the country.

"I've already rooted around it. There are secret rumors in the country about Goki's retirement. Goki is no stranger to hiding anymore at his age. Actually, I've been thinking about this for a long time."

……

When I heard the words, Rio was flabbergasted.

Though unofficial, the King himself made a serious statement, such as giving Goki, a heavy minister, as a minister.

I guess the meals are already ready.

I found that out, but Rio had unspeakable emotions.

"The Goki lords will have sons and daughters, won't they? What do they do?

The gowks have Hayate and Comomo.

Rio had heard that he had never met it but also Hayate and his near-old second and third son.

What do they do?

"I told Goki and Kayoko I was going... you said you were going with Comomo too. Then there will be eleven companions."

Saying, Homla sent her gaze to Goki and Kayoko.

"Yes, I will take Comomo, but all my sons will remain in this land"

Determination seemed stiff, and in an unwavering tone, Goki replied.

"The Strahl region isn't such an easy place to come back, is it? The journey is on foot, and it should take months even for Lord Goki."

There are some places on the road where the terrain is unsafe, so when it comes to travelling on foot, the speed will drop and you will have to bypass it, which will consume a lot of time.

If you can fly in the sky with spirituality like Rio, that time can be shortened at once, but just strengthening your physical abilities with spirituality should be a hard journey.

Even if we made such a journey to the Strahl region, there is no certainty that Lucius is alive.

And yet do you really know what that means to follow you where you can't come back so easily?

Rio was baffled.

"The governor gives way to Hayate. There is no obstacle to following Master Rio."

"No, in that matter...... Are you convinced to speak to Lord Hayate?

Even the Hayates should be upset if their parents disappear without knowing what that means.

What do they think of Goki leaving the country?

"My sons are all in the samurai. Be prepared to leave with your parents like a disease. Hayate has explained the situation inside."

"But other people who accompany us will have similar problems...... No matter how many orders, it must be cruel to go to an exotic land and never come back."

"There is nothing different about the others following Master Rio. They are the ones who serve the darkness. I don't have any relatives, I have a lot of loyalty, and I have all my hands together, so I'm sure I won't be able to keep my feet together."

Rio couldn't block his open mouth.

I can't believe I have to tolerate leaving my parents because I'm a samurai child.

Still, when you should want to be with me, I have an uninterrupted feeling.

It would be my subordinate reason not to be able to say no if I had a royal life.

But there must still be orders you don't want to follow.

"You don't have to follow me because I've been ordered otherwise, do you? I'm fine by myself."

Rio said as he declined the offer far away.

"It is also great that we cannot forgive those who are Lucius, but this story is also a grief that was not fulfilled in the past for Non and Kayoko. If you can follow Master Rio, that's exactly what you want."

"... but the others won't be"

"The others are those who serve the Saga family. That loyalty is very high. They'll be glad to follow you."

"But..."

Looks like the gowks have already made up their minds.

I didn't know what to say to them like that, and Rio got stuck in the words.

"... you still can't get help. I'm glad you feel like it, because this is what you should do."

A lot of silence, and the mind decided, Rio declined their help in a resolute tone.

"Mmm, will it still be..."

Homla has been pinching her mouth with a bitter smile as she foresaw that Rio would thus decline to help.

"But. It's not just a matter of that. The same thing we hate about Lucius. I have to put on the kejime. You can't let one of them carry a load of revenge."

"It's..."

It means they want Lucius' sanctions, too.

Then I must not understand it as a reason for wanting to accompany you strongly.

Nevertheless, as a Rio, I have a strong sense of resistance when it comes to accompanying my fellow citizens as my own minister anyway.

Suddenly they swear allegiance and they don't know what to do with it.

Speaking of ministering also means having to carry their lives.

Besides, even if they accompany Rio, there are a lot of problems.

Excessively belonging to the community of the human race can create obstacles in relations with the people of the Spirit, as well as obstacles to the speed of movement compared to when acting alone.

"There is a huge difference in travel speed between myself and Lord Goki. Perhaps the Goki lords will not be able to follow them."

Rio said one of the reasons why he had no choice but to accompany them.

"Goki tells me you're good at spirituality, but you're still the best user in our country, right? I don't think I can follow you at all..."

Not knowing Rio's means of travel, Homla talks like he's bewildered.

"I fly in the sky."

Say, Rio mocked herself that she couldn't help thinking she was a crazy person.

"Let the sky... fly?

The suggestion seemed to overweigh what Rio was saying, and Homla gave him a strange look.

"Here's the thing"

Easy to understand, Rio decided to put it into practice and show it.

As the wind rolled indoors and condensed to encircle Rio's surroundings, Rio's body floated into the universe like it had buoyancy.

"Huh!?

Homlahs look at the sight.

"It's just floating now, but if you want to travel, you can fly and travel in the sky at quite a speed"

Rio gave an explanation, grinning bitterly, to the homuras still distraught.

"Is that spiritual... I didn't know I could do that anymore...... Goki, do you have any idea who could imitate this?

Although he was a user of spirituality himself, as far as Homla knew, he didn't know anyone who could imitate Rio, and he asked the Goki in a flash.

"... no. Let the wind gust and blow your body away, though. When it comes to floating in the universe in a stable way..."

Goki answers flashly, still nailed by the figure of Rio floating in the universe.

It should have required constant control of the fine odes, and when it came to floating so steadily in the universe, it should not have been a half-breed control.

"By the way, you can travel fast enough to run at normal cruising speeds to enhance your physical abilities with spiritual art, and you can ignore all obstacles like mountains, valleys and forests"

Rio adds information so as to stab him in the face.

It is also Rio's true desire to shy away from boulders to make a long journey with them until you drastically slow down your travel speed.

And Rio shall also come among the people of the Spirit.

Regardless of who you are as an ally, you are expected to have a high probability and a difficult situation when the gooks accompany you.

Permission to enter may go down if Rio asks, but he won't look very good.

"Mmmm, when you do, even if you do accompany me, it's only going to be on my feet..."

As deeply conceived, Homla puts her hand on her chin.

"Okay. Now let's not ask permission on this matter any more. But put this story in the corner of my head. You might change your mind by the time you leave."

"Ok......"

Though he thought that wouldn't happen, Rio replied to his consent.

Then a week later, there was Como next to Rio walking in the village.

Wearing a purple kimono, she smiles and grins, attracting the attention of the whole village with its pity.

In addition, there were gowks and national technicians next door.

Regardless of the Como, the reason the Gowkies came to the village is the field survey of the agricultural reform taking place in this village.

To guide Goki, Rio was walking around the village to explain the improvements in agriculture.

"Dear Rio! I'm spinning around and pumping up water! This is the water wheel, isn't it!

When I guided Goki and Como to the water pumping water wheel, I saw one water pumping water wheel after another, and Como sparkled my eyes.

"Is this the water pumping water wheel? No, it's actually a roll when you see it like this..."

Goki is also blinded by the sight of the water wheel pumping water.

The technicians beside him were also circling their eyes.

"The structure is not so complicated. What we're installing now was powered by the power of the river's running water."

Rio explains the structure.

The gowks were listening seriously so that they wouldn't listen to Rio.

At the end of the whole explanation, the technician throws the question, and Rio answers it carefully.

Thereafter, he went around the various parts of the village to explain the work of improving agriculture that Rio was involved in.

"What do you say, is it going to happen?

"Yes! This is no longer a technological revolution! That water pumping water truck alone is likely to contribute considerably to improving agriculture in our country."

Answer the Goki question as if the technicians were excited.

Looks like it was decided to live here for a while and squeeze the technology out as much as possible.

"So, Master Rio. Are you referring to the reward for this case as consideration..."

Next to the technicians discussing this with each other, Goki spoke to Rio.

"I thought I told you it was unnecessary on the matter? I'm not thinking of raising my name in this country at all, and I wouldn't be very fond of attracting attention in this country, would I?

The story had come together in a direction that would not make it public that the proponents of the technology were Rio during the recent intimate meeting.

The technicians have also been stopped, and Homla has been told that they will decline the idea fee.

"You're right about that. Your Majesty ordered me to be generous and gracious. I take my life to try to figure it out whenever possible if I have something I want. Is there anything you need?

"That being said..."

"Whatever. If not, we will give you the treasure."

Goki's voice color was certain.

Apparently, the matter of receiving consideration even if answered in error is definitive.

Even if I missed it on this occasion, they would soon bring up the same story, and I'm going to end up handing over the treasure.

"Right...... right. So, can I give you a moment to think about it?

Not being able to give an answer immediately, Rio decided to have him wait for a response.
