Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

Episode 61: The Imminent Choice

"Once, I was worried because I hadn't heard from you since the letter arrived!

Celia looked up at Rio's face as she kept her body in his chest.

Pompous slap Rio's chest.

"Excuse me. I don't have the means to get in touch with you from Yagmo..."

Apologize like Rio is having a little trouble.

More than three years have already passed since Rio left the Kingdom of Bertram.

I only sent letters once in the meantime.

Maybe Celia can't help but worry.

"I know that!

Celia's voice stuck indoors.

The knight outside the room should be guarding as nothing unusual due to Rio's illusion, but it is also possible that if anyone accidentally walked through the front of the room, they would have heard Celia scream.

Rio was in a bit of a hurry, but never spoke of that worry.

Because Celia in her own chest seemed too grumpy.

"I'm sorry. I worried about you"

"Fool, fool"

He groaned weakly, tears in his eyes, and Celia buried her face in Rio's chest.

"You've come home so often."

Tocun, Tocun, and Rio's heartbeat came through.

Warm and secure.

Celia stroked her chest from the bottom of her heart.

In this helpless and uneasy state of affairs, I couldn't help but be glad that Rio was able to confirm the safety of Rio, who had embarked on a dangerous journey.

Rio showed up for me.

Celia was surprised as to herself that it was so reassuring, even though it was just that.

"But it's not a good idea to come at this time."

Boosh and Celia squeak.

For some reason my whole body is hot from earlier.

Celia was still feeling more heartbeat than ever before.

Is that simply because Rio is happy to be back, because he's fallen in love with the way he's grown splendidly, albeit for a moment, or because he's holding onto it like this?

Celia thinks it's probably all because of it, but it's the biggest cause that it just came at this time.

Because he was placed under house arrest in the royal castle, cut off contact with the people around him, including relatives, and forced to marry unwanted.

Because Celia's mind was tenacious and close to the limit.

If Rio came to me like that, I wouldn't feel safe, happy, or compelled to have all sorts of emotions boiling down.

Celia's holding on to Rio right now must also be because that's how she's shaking her mind.

With that in mind, Celia desperately tried to hold down her own heartbeat.

"Is it time"

Strangely Rio asks.

Rio doesn't know what Celia is thinking right now.

But given Celia's current state of affairs and the current situation in the Kingdom of Beltram, something may not have happened to her very well here these days.

I don't know if I'd ask about the area without any foreboding, but I didn't have much time right now.

The illusion I put on the knight in front of the door will be solved as early as a few dozen minutes, and it's possible someone will be visiting Celia for a favor.

I needed to finish the conversation briefly.

"... I heard a lot about the situation in this country. Sounds like a lot of haste."

"Yep..."

With a weak smile, Celia hammers.

"I heard you were marrying a man named Charles-Albeau. Congratulations, should I say?

I didn't really want to get married at the time. Celia's getting married.

Ask Rio if he is in trouble, not measuring if it is something he can bless as it is.

But whether it was proof or Celia's face, Rio figured Celia didn't want to get married.

"Stop. I don't want to marry that man!

For some reason he felt a bottomless sense of resistance that his marriage would be known to Rio, and Celia uttered a word of rejection with a face that seemed to cry now.

Yes, Rio's words are struck like wedges in Celia's heart.

"Dr. Celia..."

Celia's sad cry pierces Rio's chest.

Rio couldn't say anything.

If things are going to turn around with cheap comfort words, I'm going to throw up as much of that dialogue as I can.

But words like that mean nothing.

Celia is a smart woman.

Rio knew from past experience that instead of deluding the suffering, it would only make him realise reality.

That's how Rio said he was in trouble.

"Oh, my God, there's nothing more I can do. I'm noble, and I understand that I have to endure as much as a political marriage."

With the utmost grin, Celia strengthened.

In the first place, a political marriage is the first time that both parties' houses have a benefit and are concluded with their consent, but this case is like attaching their consent through half-threatening.

Besides, Celia is the seventh wife anyway.

It is a treatment that makes me want to yell back at the lady of the prestigious Count's house for making a fool of her, even though she has only slightly passed her due age.

Celia's father, who wanted her daughter's marriage, was also very dissatisfied with this marriage, and her mood was that both parents and children wanted to disprove its effectiveness greatly.

But if you defy the Duke of Albor, the nationalist who is cowering the power of this country in the present situation, the Count Claire family could, at worst, destroy your home as willing to rebel.

Celia was captured by an inescapable fate.

"This is the last time I saw Rio. I'm feeling better, and I'm getting married with patience."

Celia smiles lonely.

"Doctor..."

For a moment, the words "would you like to come with me" appeared in Rio's throat.

But can I fulfill and say such words to the light-hearted?

We need to do something about the marriage itself in order to crack down on the situation Celia has just been placed in, but it doesn't just mean we need to get Celia out of here.

There are many things to consider: your position as a nobleman, your influence on your surroundings, Celia's life after you take her out.

It could be irrevocable.

Is it really right to do so?

Can I take responsibility for myself if I was wrong?

Does she want it in the first place?

Maybe Celia will regret it.

If that happens, Rio will also regret his own deeds.

If the fact of escape comes to light, it will surely be troublesome.

In the unlikely event that something happens, Rio must continue to protect Celia all the time.

Weren't you also refusing to accompany the gowks in the Kingdom of Karaski because you weren't just prepared to carry in the lives of others?

Thinking about it, I felt like I shouldn't try to take Celia out cheaply.

…………

Shut up and Rio peeks at Celia's face.

Celia is also smiling weakly and staring at Rio's face.

She's going to disappear now...

Thinking about it, Rio's mind needle swung.

"Why don't you come with me?

Rio resolutely uttered the word.

Yes, being in a place like this never makes Celia happy.

Seeing Celia now, Rio was convinced.

That's all for sure.

If so, there is only one thing Rio should do.

"... Huh? Huh?"

Staring at Rio as Celia shuddered.

"If you don't like marriage, run away. I'll get the teacher out of this castle."

Celia took my side at a hard time.

She's having a hard time right now.

Then Rio will be on her side.

It's not a question of deep thought.

Because I don't want to see Celia ending her life with an unwanted marriage like this.

Let Celia find a way to be happy.

I understand that's the hard part.

But if that solves the problem, let's do it.

All we have to do later is see if Celia wants to escape.

"Rio......"

For a moment Celia gave a hopeful look.

But when I immediately come back to the look of bitter worms chewed up.

"... no. If we find a getaway on the way and we get caught, we'll all be annoyed. And even if I survive, you'll be executed."

Celia rejected Rio's suggestion.

Regardless of your mood, it is absurd to bother the loved ones around you with our cuteness.

The truth is unknown and unprocessed if anyone can escape without finding out, but there is no excuse if caught on the way.

Given Celia's existential value, there will be no home demolition, but the Count Claire family's position in the country should be considerably worse.

I don't know what will happen to your marriage to Charles, but worst of all, you take your family hostage, and for the good of the country, no, for Helmut, Celia may be forced to develop demonic props.

Besides, I felt an incalculable sense of rejection when I thought Rio would be killed because of himself, who could finally confirm his survival.

"If you can't find it, you won't have a problem with it, will you?

But Rio smiled invincibly and made him say so.

Celia rounds her eyes.

"No, well, that's right... You know how hard that is? Is this the royal castle?

"Yeah, this is inside the royal castle, isn't it? By the way..."

With a bitter smile, Rio continues the conversation.

"Why do you think I'm here, Doctor?

"Oh..."

With all the joy of being reunited with Rio, Celia realized she had forgotten the questions to pursue first.

"Li, Rio, you, how the hell did you get here?

Now Celia is located in a room deep in the royal castle of the Kingdom of Beltram.

Numerous knights and soldiers patrol the castle, and countless court nobles and servants walk around there even if they are not, and even guard knights exist in front of the room.

We need to scratch all those people's eyes to get this far.

Regardless of the fact that it was infiltrated inside in advance as an associate, it may be said that it is almost impossible for a complete outsider to enter.

Assuming you're an outsider, there must be some noise going on, but there's nothing like that.

Nevertheless, Rio should have been wanted.

Arrangements made more than three years ago, but their effect remains.

No full investigation has been carried out, but if you show up with the mushrooms, you will definitely be detained.

Rio is growing, and it may be possible to enter the royal castle as an associate if he falsifies his identity, but it doesn't matter what he thinks he's coming to this place without an entourage.

I can't think about letting Celia meet someone without an escort.

So I don't think Rio came here as an associate, but he insists strongly that Celia's common sense shouldn't be like that.

Isn't it hard to assassinate a king if you can imitate that?

"I snuck in"

But to Celia's question, Rio replied softly.

I thought Celia wouldn't be able to do that either. Answer me.

"Yes, no, no matter how much..., what magic, it's"

Then it's still more believable to be told that you came here as a guest after the formal proceedings.

But he insisted strongly that circumstantial evidence was not.

I have to admit that will happen.

"Rio, you, really..."

Celia shrugged in dismay.

Celia's knowing Rio couldn't have used magic.

Then you snuck into this by yourself?

Or are you using some sort of magic prop, like that necklace that's probably changing the color of your hair?

"You seem to have believed me."

Rio smiled.

"What magic did you really use? The Great Failure of Knights and Soldiers serving as the Guardian of the Court, this…"

Celia, who knows how serious things are, asks with a serious look on her face.

When Rio puts his hand on his mouth as if to think of something.

"... is this magic?"

And I told him so.

The next moment, I wondered if the wind blew small, Celia lost sight of Rio.

Rio, who was talking in front of me, disappeared at some point.

"... Huh? Rio?"

All of a sudden, Celia mouths the name of Rio, who disappears.

"That's why."

Go on, wondering if you heard Rio, a small breeze blew and Celia recognized Rio.

"Duh, why?

Celia squeaks.

What the hell does that mean?

"It's like magic that blends in and becomes transparent."

Rio speaking in a calm tone.

"And to be transparent, such magic doesn't exist as far as I know..."

"Because it's not technically magic. It would be difficult to do the same thing magically."

Celia's curiosity as a magician was greatly stimulated when Rio uttered words that were not to be overheard.

"Hey, what's that? What principle is that?

"Eh, Odo, manipulate the wind with magic... I don't have time to explain that right now"

Celia pushed me to explain it unexpectedly, which I had often asked, but Rio smiled bitterly and shook his neck left and right.

"Huh? Oh, haha, I'm sorry. I was wondering..."

Celia laughed and apologized, feeling like she was about to lose me.

It doesn't seem to change now or ever that as soon as we have a magical relationship, we become obsessed.

"For now, there's nothing like getting one teacher out of here without anyone knowing. So I'll say it again. Doctor, would you like to come with me?

As if inviting him for a light walk, Rio said.

"Uh, what do you say yourself, but I'm a pretty important person right now? If it comes to light that Rio took me away, now it's time for Rio to be made a real criminal."

"I don't mind. Anyway, he's guilty of attempted royal murder. There's nothing like an extra noble kidnapping there. It's better if the teacher stays unhappy."

"Rio......"

"It doesn't matter if you get out of this country, you'll be arranged for a nomination within the Kingdom of Beltram. Besides, I don't think the Kingdom of Beltram will publicize the disappearance of Dr. Celia in the first place."

"Well, maybe it is."

There are plenty of forces that want Celia, both nationally and internationally.

It is not hard to predict what will happen if we tell those people that Celia is gone from the Kingdom of Beltram, etc.

Even if not, given the country's faculties, it's not something that I can be foolish and honest enough to publicize that important people in the country have not disappeared or been kidnapped, etc.

Perhaps the country will try to hide the fact that Celia disappeared, if possible.

"So, but even if I can get out of here, I'm just gonna be Rio's foothold. I'm a woman with nothing but magic."

"I know. You couldn't have cleaned the room without me."

Say it, laughing funny Rio.

Celia swelled her cheeks muffled.

"Me, when I get out of here, there's no place to go? Maybe I'll stay with Rio for the rest of my life, huh?

"At least we'll stay together until Dr. Celia finds a place to live in peace. I can't guarantee if that's the Strahl region."

"... that's as much as I'd like you to say to feed my teacher for life"

"Haha, sorry. It's the nature of not being able to confirm what's ahead without darkness."

Rio laughs bitterly and apologizes to Celia, who stares with her eyes open.

"You did."

Celia laughed at the dullness.

"If you can keep only one promise after that, I won't ask you to be a particular teacher"

"Promise?"

"Yes. Perhaps while you're with me, your teacher will get a glimpse of all sorts of out of common sense events. Explain what you can explain, but swear you won't darkly tell a third party what the teacher saw. This is not the case, of course, if there is a danger to Dr. Celia."

"That's out of common sense..."

Celia stared at Rio.

Celia already has a glimpse of some of it.

That's all I could do.

Probably can do more amazing things than that.

Even the kind of magic that makes you transparent that I showed you earlier, I know that Celia, a nobleman and magician, has a tremendous value for it.

If it is known to the public, those who try to make a leap to recreate it and look for Rio may appear.

I guess Rio is also concerned about things around there.

That's how Celia is convinced.

"Something the teacher loses when he comes with me should also be huge. There is also a risk. So I'm not going to force you to take the teacher. It's up to the teacher to decide if you want to follow me."

That said, Rio offered Celia his hand.

Celia took that hand...

"... go. I'm coming. Get me out of here, Rio."

Got a good grip.

I didn't feel any hesitation there, but I wouldn't be thinking about anything because it's about Celia.

He opened his eyes to Celia, who responded instantly, but Rio firmly shook Celia's hand back.

"Then let's get out of here now. Is there anything I should take with me?

"If I take the personal belongings in the room, they'll think I escaped, so if I were to take them, I'd think about the magic props in this room and their ingredients. Then you'll think he was abducted along with the research results. Well, there's a limit to how much we can carry at once, so we have to select it carefully..."

Celia stares at the demonic props indoors troubled as she talks.

There are countless magic props and their ingredients cluttered indoors, and thick books are loaded in large quantities.

Because some of them are quite large and heavy, it will be necessary to choose when transporting them out.

That's what Celia thought.

"There's nothing you can't take if you want to take it all, but what do you do?

Rio threw the word.

"Huh?"

"No, you can take all the magic equipment in the room if you need it, but what do you do?

Perform explanations of the same content with Rio smiling bitterly.

"No, you took it, Rio's a bare hand, but you can't do anything with it, no matter how much."

"By the way. This is what I can do." Storage ""

Touching the affordable magic props that were in the room, Rio cast a spell to use the vault of time and space.

Moments, the demonic props you were touching distort and disappear from the spot.

Celia looked at the sight with a flashing look.

"If you don't need the demonic props that just disappeared, I'll leave them here, but don't worry, I'll keep them like this if I have to. What do you want to do?

"... Yeah, yeah, please. Take everything you have in the room with you."

With a pulled smile, Celia answers.

You renounced your thoughts, you're in a slightly throwing tone.

Rio gradually stores what he has in his room, as he was told, in space and space.

The inside of the room quickly became beautiful and eventually became a mushroom shell.

Those who see this sight will be confused.

Celia is very confused right now.

"Shall we go then? Would you like to say goodbye to your parents?

"... it's okay. I'll write to you when I'm settled."

Celia replied, smiling lonely.

"Okay."

Rio held Celia's hand.

"Please don't talk while you're on the move. You can't see us from the outside, but you can't even turn off the sound or the signs."

"Okay."

"Let's go then"

Celia lost sight of the surrounding area when she wondered if a small breeze had blown.

I was surprised and almost had a voice, but I shut my mouth to protect Rio's statement.

Rio sees what's going on around him, and he walks on without hesitation.

Celia was pulled by Rio but walked still.

I can hear someone talking along the way, but no one seems to realize Celia and the others exist.

Celia thought it was getting really transparent, apparently.

Later the guard knight may eat disciplinary action, but his heart doesn't hurt much if he thinks it's a reward for being sexually harassed by a scattered gaze.

That's how you walk for about an hour.

"Well, you're all right now."

Rio finally opened his mouth.

Moments, all at once, the surrounding vision opens.

It seems that at some point the outside of the castle came all the way outside the king's capital.

"I can't believe we're getting out of here so quickly."

I let my face snap, and Celia shrugged.

"It's going to be a long time to explain, so I'll even talk to you when you travel. Better than that, right? I'm trying to get around to holding my teacher all at once, okay?

Rio asked that.

"Can you hold him?

"Yes."

Rio is going to fly away from the sky because he wants to get away from the king's capital.

"Uh, yeah. It doesn't matter..."

Celia answered with a reddish face.

"Well, excuse me"

Rio gently hugs Celia's body.

Celia's body was as light as a feather and feminine suppleness came across the garment.

"Shit...... This is so embarrassing. Wouldn't that be better?

"Haha, it's dangerous when you let go of my hand, so as far as I'm concerned, I'm more comfortable holding you. With a lifeline, it's okay to let go."

"Lifeline?"

"You'll find out soon enough. I know you'd be surprised, but don't shout too loud during the ascent because you don't want to get caught in the eye"

"Hmm? Well, I don't know... Okay."

Celia could have been hugged as she was, but she didn't think she was going to fly away.

He leaned his neck strangely, but because he trusted him about Rio, he accepted as he was.

"Okay, I'll go"

"Huh!"

Rio rises to the sky in the spirit of the wind.

Celia's eyes opened wide.

He's moving his mouth with puffiness, but he doesn't make a scene about whether he's losing words or trying to keep his promise to Rio.

"You can talk now."

Rio spoke to Celia as she rose high in the sky and raised her altitude out of sight.

He was stunned by the surrounding views, but eventually Celia slowly shifted her gaze to Rio.

And when you take a few deep breaths.

"Hey, what is this?!?

Celia's heart shout echoed high in the sky.

Rio had a funny reaction from Celia.

"This is called spirituality. Haven't you ever heard of a teacher as much as he exists?

Laughing, I answered that.

"Shh, spirituality? This is it?"

"Yes. You wouldn't need a spell or a spell chant, would you?

"Speaking of which, was that what spirituality was all about? I can't believe it just really exists..."

Celia glanced around.

I've never seen a sight like this before in my life.

The indoor Celia can't help but feel surprised and excited about the boulders as well.

No heart or Rio seemed Celia's eyes shining.

"Doctor, I'd like to ask you one thing, do you know the name of the brave man summoned to the Kingdom of Beltram?

"Brave? I think it was just Louis-Sigekra..."

When Rio asks Surprised Celia, Celia mouths the information lightly.

Assuming I didn't know, I would have put it back out later, but it seemed like it was avoided to be a hassle twice.

"Is it Louis-Sigekra? I see."

That's not the name Miharu and the others know.

Apparently not a brave man summoned by the King's Capital of the Kingdom of Bertram.

Except for the brave men summoned to Flora and the others, there are four remaining brave men.

I know these two people are acquaintances of Miharu, but if they come off twice in a row, I lose a little confidence.

Nevertheless, as far as I can think, it is likely that Miharu and his acquaintances are brave.

I was going to try to gather information on the brave men in this way in the future, whenever possible.

"What's wrong with the brave man's name?

Celia asks curiously.

"Actually. Now I live with the children who would have been caught in the summons of the brave."

"Involved in the summons of the brave?

"Yes. I'm pretty much sure. That's why I'm looking for someone I've heard from them who might have been summoned somewhere as a brave man."

"... that from now on I'm going to live mixed up in it too?

"It will. I'm sorry to explain later..."

"No, I wouldn't have had time for that, and I do. What kind of kids are they?

Celia asks about Miharu and the others a little intriguing.

It would be a natural reaction if you thought you were a cohabitant you were going to live with.

"Right. There are three of them..."

Rio told me about Miharu and the others.

I felt Celia give a slight muddled look when I taught her about Miharu and Aki's existence, but Celia replies that it is nothing.

I talked about everything else by the time I got to the rock house and quickly finished traveling when I realized it.
