Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

Returning to the rocks where Aki and Jasmine were hiding, they looked at Rio and Miharu and let their eyes shine.

Aki and Jasmine approach Miharu so that they can hold him as they are.

"Miharu, sis!

"Miharu!

"We were both good..."

Seeing the three of them reunited safely, Rio exhaled small.

"Thank you so much, Hart"

Miharu thanks him on behalf and bows his head with Aki and Jasmine.

"It's good to see the three of you again safely."

To those three, Rio waved small and answered.

Nature and face are dull.

"Well, this is the luggage of the three of us, but there's actually gold in this bag"

That's what I said, Rio offered his stuff.

In student bags with a firm weight, more than fifty gold coins are actually packed unwrought, weighing more than three kilograms.

"Ah, yes..."

Miharu receives the bag with a decent face.

The bag containing the gold coin belongs to Miharu.

By the way, the price of fifty gold coins is the amount the slavers expected to make when they sell these three as slaves.

Rio doesn't know the market because he never bought a slave, but he doesn't think this amount is too high because he tried to ruin his life by illegally enslaving people.

Slaves vary greatly in price depending on their use, gender and ability, but basically the income that would allow them to earn by employing them is a guide.

Old, healthy and beautiful women are valuable even if they have no great abilities from what they can do to a whore, and vice versa, men without any abilities are less valuable.

Abducted slaves like Miharu and others are cheaper as translations, but even though the words don't make sense, Miharu fulfilled exactly the above conditions, and Aki was still a little young, but the demand was as much.

Thus, almost all of the earlier prices are those of Miharu and Aki, and Yakuza may only be valued at the same value as the abandoned value.

"Uh, what about this gold coin?

Miharu asks in a confused manner.

"I think that's a consolation. The three of them were in danger of being enslaved..."

Rio answered in such a way that he could not tell.

It is the current situation that abducted slaves are illegal, but a significant number exist simply because they do not surface.

Some were also deceived and enslaved, the majority of whom were children or young women.

Incidents like this one are never uncommon in this world.

"Oh, no... A slave."

Squirting like Aki was shocked.

I can't help it.

Because for her, the existence of slavery is extraordinary.

Miharu also seems to be in shock, but he seemed less shocked than Aki because he had asked Rio earlier about the existence of slaves.

"What, a slave?

One of them, Yaman asks with his neck tilted.

"You don't even know that?

Akichi stares at the Aryans as if they were frightened.

"A slave is a slave.... er..."

I tried to explain the slaves as they were, but Aki was stuck in words.

Even though I know what the word means, I can't seem to explain it well in words.

Miharu also has a troubled face.

"Simply put, it's about people who are treated as objects."

So Rio decided to pinch his mouth and explain.

"Treated as an object?

Still, the image doesn't seem to boil, and the Jazz twists his neck.

"I guess I should say that I make humans subject to sale and purchase like animals. The sold people will have to listen to whatever the people they buy."

That said, Rio added an explanation.

"Hey, what the fuck! You're such a pet! We were supposed to be like that! Why would you do that!?

Apparently he understood the meaning in his current explanation to the boulder, and Yaman shouted outrageously.

"Because it's convenient for people to do what they want."

Don't dress your teeth and Rio will briefly tell you why.

"What's so fun about dealing with a guy like that? A doll!"

"Well, I guess people are different there. Because some people use it because they need it, not because it's funny or not."

Rio replied bitterly.

Unlike myself, who accepts the existence of slavery as a matter of course, it dazzled me to see a Yakuza who hasn't rubbed yet in this world.

"What the hell, it..."

Weak, jazz squeaks.

Perhaps there are unnameable emotions swirling in him.

"What would have happened if it weren't for Mr. Hart..."

Then Miharu, who was listening in silence, said in a frightened manner.

"Really. I'm glad you're safe this way..."

Shivering beside Miharu, Aki said.

I guess I got horrified imagining when Rio didn't come to help.

"No, it's not a big deal."

I wanted to help Akira because I needed Rio in the first place.

Now it was time for things to change dramatically, but the original motive was only to the extent of curiosity, and I didn't intend to go that far.

"... really thanks to Brother Hart. Thanks!"

I thanked Rio for having managed to get back on his feet, too.

There is a grin of gratitude on its face, though dull.

"No, I don't mind."

"No, if it weren't for Brother Hart, I wouldn't really know what would have happened! They were so scary."

"Oh, you're welcome"

Rio replied with a smile on his face to the Yakuza, who thanked him forcefully.

And there.

"By the way, what was it just now? That Hart brother..."

Aki asked the Aristocrat in a slightly grumpy manner.

"Huh? Uh, no, 'cause Brother Hart seems older than me. Is that normal?"

For no particular reason, the Jazz somehow seemed to call him Brother Hart about Rio.

"... yes, but"

Ashi groans in dissatisfaction so that he is somewhere uncomfortable with the answer.

She gave such a look to her reaction that she didn't know what it meant.

"Aki..."

Like trouble, Miharu calls Aki's name.

Realizing that, Akichi looked up.

"Sorry......"

I said bitterly words of apology.

To whom was the apology directed?

All I said was I wouldn't do it, and Aki let her face down.

…………

Rio stares at such a subage.

Somehow I felt visionary, my last name was different, but when I heard his name. Maybe, Rio thought.

But now I'm pretty sure.

Perhaps Aki Chido is the sister of the Spring Man of Tenkawa.

Being with Miharu reinforces Rio's certainty.

Unlike the Amagawa Chunmen who left the house and went to the country with their father, Aki Amagawa, who was their sister, should have remained in that city with her mother.

It is unclear whether he lived in that house as it was, but if he continued to stay in that city, it would not be strange for Aki to have a connection with Miharu.

The Spring Man always played with Miharu, but Aki often played mixed in it as well.

Aki has grown to the point of misseeing now, but somewhat overlaps with Spring Man's knowing mother.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hart. Make it weird."

Aki uttered an apology for Rio.

"No, I don't care."

With an ambiguous grin, Rio answered.

Could...

No, maybe I have to.

Doesn't Aki Chido hate Chunmen Tenkawa?

Seeing how Aki was now in front of him, Rio thought so.

"Thank you"

I smile so small that I'm sorry, Aki bows her head.

I felt like my chest could be tightened somehow when I saw such a subage, but if I tried it on them, Rio was just someone I'd just met.

Now Rio is not a Tianchuan Spring, even if he is a Tianchuan Spring.

Is it okay to imitate such a person without delicacy as to stick his neck into a delicate realm of deviation?

It is not fair to ask about it if you do not explain that you are a Tenkawa Chunman, even now at a time when you are falsifying your identity, deluding your very existence and unilaterally obtaining judgment material.

But at this point, could it be an imitation of oiling the fire if you explain that you are a Tenkawa Chunman?

(What am I supposed to do...)

Rio was also a little bit organized in his mind during the time he got here.

I wonder what is happening to them and what will happen next, not the Spring Man's identity, which is the top priority for Mizuki today.

That's why Rio had decided to put aside some time and talk to Mi-chun about his previous life after Mi-chun's condition stabilized.

Anyway, what we talk about is what we talk about.

We should not be unnecessarily confused by giving unnecessary information about our personal feelings at this stage of confusion, and we thought it would be desirable to have a calm mind situation if we were to ask.

But things got so complicated when I got here.

I also want to go see if the cheap Celia is safe, and now I'm not going to give up my revenge.

(No...... it doesn't make any difference what you end up doing. Now you can explain the situation in which the Mi and the others were placed and ask them to accept the status quo and say it after the condition has settled down. Just a little more to take into account)

When you decide that.

"... then it's time to get down to business"

Saying, smiling small, Rio looked to Miharu and the others.

I'm behind on the gold coins in the bag.

Since it's getting dark, I'd like to talk about what we should do on this occasion for now.

"I think the thing that bothers me the most is where we are. As I explained to Aki and Jasmine, this is not Earth."

This is mainly an explanation for Miharu.

At this time, speaking of which, Miharu wondered how Rio could speak Japanese.

But there.

"... Um, can we go home to Earth?

That's what Aki asked anxiously.

That would naturally be a question that would be held.

Rio also expected that the question would be asked.

"It's..."

But Rio got stuck responding.

Rio thinks it's almost impossible as an answer.

But can I just tell you that?

There are many things that cannot be explained about this situation, even in Rio, where we have gained knowledge of witchcraft and spirituality over the human race in the Spirit People.

Manipulating space-time is considered impossible in spiritual art because of the complexity of Odd's manipulation and interference in mana, but the Spirit people succeeded in it with witchcraft.

Nevertheless, while it is possible to travel instantly from end to end of the continent with metastatic crystals with metastatic magic, it is impossible to travel across the world to boulders.

No, it might be theoretically possible if we could set the coordinates, but we don't know how to set the coordinates to the rest of the world.

Even if we set the coordinates, the feasibility would be terribly low given the amount of odds needed to cross the world.

"Sorry. I can't say for sure, but I think it's pretty hard..."

I troubled you, that's what Rio answered.

"Oh no..."

Aki's expression stains despair.

No, it's not just Aki.

Miharu and Yamato also seem to be strongly shocked.

"But the possibilities are not zero. I think this case was artificially caused, so if we find out what caused it. Or. Still unlikely..."

I couldn't see the faces of the desperate Miharu, and Rio added an explanation.

Who caused this incident?

More than happened in the Strahl region, it is the entire human race that is cited as a suspect.

Nevertheless, as far as Rio knows, the human race has not come to the practical application of space-time magic.

I don't even think it has led to the practical application of space-time magic in the years when there was no Rio in the Strahl region.

So Rio thinks it would be a divine demon wartime artifact if it were possible.

If I could figure out what the operative formula is built into that artifact, I might know what it is.

Nevertheless, the procedure incorporated into the artifact is too complex and mysterious.

There are many artifact substitutes for spiritual objects created by spiritual people who are much brighter in magic than the human race, but there are artifacts that they cannot figure out.

It seemed very unlikely that we would be able to elucidate the cause, assuming we discovered the artifact in question.

The biggest mystery in the first place is the fact that Miharu, who disappeared at the beginning of her high school year, has now been summoned to this occasion.

That incident, in which several human beings disappeared, was transitory, but at the time it became a bit of news that crowded the public.

Miharu remains a high school student now.

This would mean that the missing Miharu was summoned to this world.

But then another question comes up this time.

How did Rio, who died later, come to this world before Miharu's disappearance?

If there is a difference, there is a difference between summoning and reincarnation, but is there something there that creates chronological discrepancies?

I don't know.

While I was thinking about it, my head hung up.

When he sighed small enough to exhale tiredness, Rio stared at Mizuki and the others.

"Well, if there's anything I can do, I'll work with you whenever I can."

And that's what I said.

I regret my powerlessness, which I can only put on words of rest.

If Miharu says she wants to return to Earth at all costs...

Will I cooperate so that she can return to Earth?

Or will we try to retain Miharu, who wants to return to Earth?

Rio thought that.

"... thank you"

Miharu answers Rio's words with the utmost grin.

Looks like Aki and Jason haven't been able to recover from the shock yet.

"For now, let's think ahead."

When he grinned as troubled, Rio told Miharu so.

"Yes."

Miharu smiles and replies.

"First of all, I think you've already figured out that security in this world is very poor. It's almost impossible for you to live on your own."

It would be a harsh thing to say, but Rio said without clouding his words.

The tense appearance on Miharu's face appears colorful.

Yaki and Jason were also listening to Rio's words about how they managed to get to the point where they could listen.

"But don't worry. If there's only one condition, or if you can swear to follow the rules, I'm going to protect you."

I really don't think it's okay to protect you unconditionally.

However, given the current situation in which Rio is located, there were rules that I wanted him to follow.

"Rules......?

Azuma and Miharu ask.

"Yes. In the future, it's about not divulging personal information about me to third parties without my permission. However, you may divulge it if it is likely to endanger your safety. What do you think?

Rio presents the conditions without feeling it.

Then.

"... is that okay with you?

As I was taken aback, Miharu answered.

Then there is practically nothing for Miharu and the others to bear.

From Miharu's common sense, it's not half-baked to take care of all three strangers together.

At the very least, even if the Japanese living on Earth are asked to do the same, it seems not a bad idea to reply to their consent.

That is why Miharu was baffled by the unexpected lightness of the rules presented.

"Yes. If you swear you'll abide by that, I'll take care of the three of you. I'll teach you what it takes to live in this world to the best of my ability."

"It's..."

It's something I don't even wish for.

It is something that Miharu and the others do not really wish for.

But wouldn't that make Rio too burdensome?

Miharu and the others have no choice but to follow Rio's path, but then I'm sorry that Rio is overburdened.

But it was true that there was nothing Mizuki could do.

"Okay. I swear to abide by that rule. I will definitely return the favor I receive from Mr. Hart one day. So please protect us. Please."

Miharu bowed her head deeply, vowing strongly in her heart to return this favour one day.

I bowed my head, deep.

Following Miharu, Aki and Jasmine also say, "Please," he bows his head to Rio.

"Okay. Keep your head up."

Smile thinly and tell him so.

"Now again, let's briefly introduce ourselves. I have something to tell you first.... I taught my name is Hart, but there are actually circumstances and this is a pseudonym. The real name is Rio. He's sixteen."

Rio decided to tell him his real name in this world.

Because I thought that was the best courtesy I could do right now.

Miharu and the others found out that Rio had a pseudonym and turned their eyes round.

"Eh, I'm sorry I confused you. You are free to call me by either name where there are no people, but always call me Hurt in the future when you call me outside."

So Rio lowered his head small.

"Uh, okay. So, it's confusing, so can we reunify in Mr. Hart for now?

That's what Miharu replied because of the pervasiveness of the call Hart already made.

"Okay."

Replying, Rio laughed small.

From Rio's point of view, I have a strong sense that I am now Rio, but Spring Man doesn't make a difference that I am also myself.

I was honestly glad to have Miharu call my name like that.

"Then I'll introduce myself, too. My name is Miharu Ayase. The age is sixteen as well. Best regards,"

Miharu also introduced herself to Rio again.

"So am I."

Following that, Aki and Yamana also introduce themselves to Rio.

"Well, from now on, thank you"

Looking at the three of them, Rio said.

"Well, we still have something to talk about, but it's getting a lot darker. Once you've moved your hips slowly to a place where you can calm down. I'm leaving the house now."

Already the surroundings are beginning to be engulfed in darkness.

You'll just feel darker and darker when you're in a place like this forever.

"Huh? Home......? What do you want me to do?"

Asked as Aki bewildered.

Where is there a house in a rock with nothing like this?

The same goes for Miharu and Jason, who look around strangely.

"Just a moment, please"

With such a bitter smile at their reaction, Rio moved a little further away.

When we find the right space, we put our hands on the ground, manipulate the soil with spirituality, cut the roots and stabilize the ground.

That's how we secure a place to set up the house...

"Liberation (Discharge)"

cast a spell.

Then a giant swirl of space rolled up in front of Rio's eyes.

It can be stored after stopping time for objects that are unwilling to be stored in space-time storage.

And it was possible for the stored objects to appear at the owner's discretion in nearby locations.

That is no exception, even at home.

In preparation for this journey, Rio had built a house as a travel residence.

It's a stone house made of a combination of rocks that blend in naturally and are sturdy.

The building itself has become a spiritual apparatus caged with the junctional magic of perception inhibition, which at that moment ceases to be uncomfortable with the anomalies within the boundaries of the junction when other than residents who have registered in a space within a radius of five hundred metres from the house enter.

When a spiritual magician is the opponent who can see Odd and has a high sensing ability of Odd and Mana, he is easily noticed for the existence of junctional magic that covers his surroundings around the house, but is a very effective crime magic in relation to organisms that do not.

However, if consciousness is oriented within the junction from a position exceeding a radius of five hundred metres, the effect will be drastically reduced even if it enters the junction, so the place of installation needs to be chosen.

Incidentally, the effects of the spiritual apparatus can be freely switched on and off and are not currently acting on the junction.

In addition to the conjunctive witchcraft of perception inhibition, there are also several witchcraft in the building.

"Hey, what, this...?

It was dark and not well seen, but at some point a huge collection of rocks appeared, and Aki shrugged in dismay.

The huge collection of rocks in front of Rio and the others is more than twenty meters long.

Miharu and Jason were also flattered, and Rio grinned bitterly at their reaction.

"This is the house we're going to live in first. It looks just a big rock, but it's pretty inside. The entrance is this way."

With that said, Rio heads to the entrance of the house once again.

He looked behind him as if the three of them had been taken aback.
