Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

"... previous life, is it? That's also a long and vague inquiry. If not my mistake, are you referring to the world before I was born today?

As Rio opened his eyes, he returned the question to peep. It is an attempt to buy some time to think about unintended questions.

"Yes, it means exactly what you say."

Rieselotte agreed to this. Those eyes peek at Rio's complexion as if he were frightened somewhere.

(This question... you have something close to certainty that I'm a reincarnated person? Or are you trying to uncover it without anything to do with it... Either way, what's the intent?

And, Rio thought aggressively, but he doesn't even have time to think calmly. So you can't even think of an answer or anything like that -,

"... it's a metaphysical (kejiji) issue, can't you deny it? Although I can't objectively prove it either."

And I could only return an answer that was no difficulty. It would be frivolous to reply "yes, I believe" to the boulder in two replies.

We should be vigilant in the present situation, where we have not even read the intent of the question, and we are going to need to step in a little more and listen - and think so.

"Proof...? Surely you may not be able to prove it objectively"

"Does Master Lieselotte believe you?

Rio asks Rieselotte back, clouding his expression.

"... Yes. I believe you."

Liezelotte nodded quietly, but forcefully. But...

"You say it as if you're sure."

And when Rio tells him to step in, Leezelotte grins like he's in trouble. And -,

"... I'm sorry. You weren't the rigging that goes on in stand-up. What I did seems a little tired. I may have confused you, but if you get another chance, may I talk to you about this matter?

Rieselotte meditated her eyes and waved them small or small, saying that each bit looked a little bad.

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

All of a sudden, Rio nods hesitantly at Lieselotte, who pulled the topic in as if he had returned his palm.

Now you have become a little calm, I don't feel anything like the bewilderment or sway you felt earlier, but I'm sure it was just a calm Lieselotte and others attitude from the beginning. It's as if I couldn't help but ask impulsively.

But from what I said earlier, it seemed very likely that he would re-set the place and cut in again. Perhaps that's when you might come to light on everything.

So...

(... sounds like you should think about how to hang out with her once and for all so you don't get upset no matter what happens next)

Until now Rio has not actively packed the distance from himself, but if it means actively packing the distance from Lieselotte, the relationship between the two of them will have to change from now on, and Rio will inevitably be forced to respond as well.

Then, of course, it will depend on how Lieselotte comes out, but you will also need to reflect on the pros and cons and, in some cases, share each other's secrets - Rio thought.

Anyway, before he was a windmill, now Rio forms quite a relationship of trust with Lieselotte.

"Well, thank you very much. Sir Amakawa. I would like to express my concern to His Highness even if it is too late. I'll give you a gift if you need it..."

"No, just how you feel. So..."

Rio gave him a social grin and nodded, walking back on his heels. Then a servant who was nearby comes and guides him to the outside of the mansion.

There was no particular problem afterwards, and it was decided to direct Vanessa and the others to the mansion of Lieselotte.

◇ ◇ ◇

When Leezelotte behaved for dinner that evening, Rio had been summoned to Christina's room.

It should be noted that in another room, Rieselotte may have met Kota in pity with Rio's introduction, but that's another story.

"Thank you for coming, Sir Amakawa"

Sitting face-to-face on the couch, Christina bows her head to Rio. Right beside him, Vanessa stood still.

"No, don't worry about it."

Rio waves his blanket in a calm act.

"This is how I called you because I wanted to formally thank Sir Amakawa and because I had a few stories about the future. For starters, thanks to you, we have a calculation to safely head to Marquis Rodin territory. The Duchess of Cretia will escort you on a magical ship."

At dinner, Christina was having a personal meal alone with Liezelotte. I guess we talked a lot at that time.

"It's superimposed (ginger). If that's what you want to do, will you be able to reach Marquis Rodin tomorrow?"

"Yeah. We're leaving the day after tomorrow, but we're going to be able to get there a lot sooner than originally planned. Thanks also to Sir Amakawa for taking over. Thank you."

"Because Master Lieselotte plays an important role"

And, Rio humbles himself.

"No, it would have even been difficult to see her without a handover. I don't even know if you had chosen to see him in the first place."

"... I see. Now, I'm afraid I appreciate your words."

"Yes, but not just to thank you, but to pay you what you deserve. As I have said many times, I would never have been here without you."

"As I said before, if you thank me, go to Celia"

Though it's a clear line of prevention for Christina, who has cut the subject of awards -

"That's not why I'm here. Not only did you succeed in your escape from Claire, which was a desperate situation, but you also left Alfred. You've helped me with a lot of other things, but you've saved me from my predicament (cuckoo) twice. It would be a thank you push, but it would involve royal vouchers if you didn't pay so much for anything."

Even as Christina, I can't pull back easily.

"Regardless, I understand your circumstances…. So what exactly is going to be the reward?

And when Rio asks -,

"I wanted to talk to you about that. Unfortunately, we don't have a match now, and when it comes to what I can personally give, there's only a medal or lower title, but if we get to Marquis Rodin territory, things will change. So if you want anything, I hope you can tell me."

asked as Christina clouded her expression somewhere sorry.

She, the first princess, has been given certain constraints to the authority of the epistemology and the medals of something, but I guess she thinly assumes in her previous journey that Rio would not want them.

"… So, I ask you, which is your future home?

And Rio asks, hello.

"You should be visiting the King's Capital of the Kingdom of Galark on a regular basis, but your base should be Marquis Rodin territory"

"So Celia will be there in the future?

"... Yep. I'm going to ask you to do that."

Christina snorts as she peeps at the flow of the story. Then...

"Then, to the extent that it is commensurate with the prize, would you not be able to give her a mansion where she can live in her home base?

Rio offered such a wish.

"... then wouldn't that be a reward for her? Besides, I intend to give her the support she deserves separately from the rewards for her future activities. 'Cause I scouted."

Say, Christina clouds her expression worried.

"I see. So you're saying she'll never have trouble with clothing and living?

"Yes. As a nobleman, I will guarantee a degree of physical integrity."

To Rio's question, Christina categorically agreed.

"Then could you swallow some of the conditions I offer so that her life becomes more of a bedrock? If you really need the form of giving me a reward, I want you to make the name of the house I give her mine."

"... Sure, if you're going to take that form, there's nothing physically wrong with it"

Christina stuffs words every time she says something.

"How did you get there?

And Rio stepped in and asked himself.

"... yeah, well. Are you sure that's okay?

Christina nods to cloud her words and asks back for a nasty one.

"I don't mind. In my childhood, I have not grown up in a very privileged environment. No, maybe I was just blessed for meeting her and getting a lot of attention. To the point that it seems so, you've made it better. So. That's all she owes me.... Besides, it's not too late to decide if that's really okay after you've heard the terms I'm offering, is it?

Rio looked to Christina and told her with an invincible smile.

"............ I understand. So, can I ask you about the terms and conditions?

Christina nods in sigh and asks to peep.

"I will present the details later in the text, but roughly speaking, I want to respect her will, not bind her to physical freedom, not force her to act, guarantee her safety in everyday life, give me the authority to meet her freely, etc."

Specifically, Rio intends to demand content such as not to use it as an instrument of politics, including political marriage, without his consent, and letting people who can truly be trusted to take care of them around him.

It seems obvious and easy to put it in words, but the more Celia, the more useful she is as a magician, the more difficult the condition is that she should not be used as a political tool in an aristocratic society where charisma travels.

"A lot of caution... no, you're overprotective"

"It's not so. Because I can't be around forever."

"... are you still leaving Dr. Celia to go?

"Yes, I'm going to show my face regularly"

Rio concurs with a subtly worried voice.

For once, I assure you that I will keep you under Christina's asylum, and while I intend to strike my hand as far as else is possible, it makes no difference that you will be blind during another action.

Nevertheless, I'm worried. Not much, you can't keep Celia isolated from the world and locked her up, and you can't keep her next to Celia all the time until you can decide she's really safe.

No, there may never be anything I can assure you will be safe if you do poorly.

But if you think about it that much, you can't realistically do anything, and you're not mentally healthy. In the end, we have to split it somewhere.

"I see. So are you sure you want to come with me to Marquis Rodin territory?

"Yes, thank you. I'll give you a written summary of the terms by tomorrow."

Rio bows small.

"I understand. We will officially draw up a pledge upon arrival in Marquis Rodin territory, so we hope you can wait that long. I will try to sign a similar pledge not only to myself, but also to an organization called Restoration."

"I'm afraid so."

◇ ◇ ◇

And then when Rio left the room...

"... were you sure? Miss as many people as he is. Celia, wouldn't it have been possible to draw him in with us?

Vanessa, who was holding back behind her back, asked Christina.

"Still, he won't move. Even if we have reason to cooperate with Dr. Celia, we have no reason to cooperate with the Kingdom of Beltram."

And Christina says with a slight bite of her teeth.

"... I don't know. Is there a difference between the two?"

Vanessa shakes her blindfold with an imaginary face. I suppose you think that cooperating with the Kingdom of Beltram will be for Celia as it is.

"At least the best option I can make right now is to win the trust from him. In future actions."

On the side of Kristina, who said so, there was a subtle, dark look behind her.

◇ ◇ ◇

Meanwhile, when Rio left Christina's room and walked down the hallway...

"Ah, Mr. Hart."

I was wrong with Kota and her two pities.

"Are you home now, too?

Rio speaks to the two of them.

"... yeah. Talk to Mr. Liezelotte."

"Really?"

Rio just snorted briefly and didn't try to touch the content of the story. But when Hota and Pity looked at each other...

"Actually, I talked a lot about it... but I was wondering if I could talk to you too, Hart. We don't know what to do."

Kota mentioned that.

"... to me? I don't mind, but let's move the place a little bit."

"Well, come to our room."

"Yes."

As such, Rio was to head to Kota's room.

◇ ◇ ◇

Meanwhile, Liezelotte called Aria to the reception room for a cup of tea and a breath.

"Boulder, that's a great choice. It calms my heart."

When you include the tea you've been brewed in your mouth, Lieselotte mutters her thoughts satisfactorily.

"I knew I was in that mood today. I chose your tea leaves."

"You're a real boulder."

"Because it is my job to bring the mind and body of the Lord into a state of fullness"

Aria tells him pale. Then...

"... Was I weird today?

Leezelotte asked about the misfortune.

"It seemed a little less glorious than usual, but I was wondering if it wasn't enough to take it away and see it as a problem. Only as far as I can see, though. There was some time today when I wasn't around..."

The time Aria wasn't around was when Leezelotte was talking to Rio alone and when she summoned pity with Hota and the three of them alone.

Aria, who is wondering if something might have happened in the meantime, but at a time when Leezelotte went crazy, I'm guessing it would have been when she was talking to Rio if something had happened.

Nevertheless, it is beyond the realm of the squire to pry about it, so I will not mention it even though it is not required. Then...

"............... you think something might have happened with the two of us just now? It's not like something happened, is it? Look, it's not like we're two people summoned with a brave man from a world we don't know about. So you said you wanted to talk to me for a second. Well, I've also asked you how you will look in the future..."

Leezelotte talked to rap about how she felt more discerned within herself than she needed to be.

(What I care about is not my conversation with you. Well, let's just say I don't touch it)

Aria thought so, engraving a slight grin on her mouth.

"Are you sure?"

"... ugh. You're not laughing at anything? How was Aria like that, seeing her first reunion with an old friend in a long time?

"Thanks to you, I haven't enjoyed my private time in a long time. Thank you for your concern."

Thus, Liezelotte engaged in a conversation with Aria, often relaxed.

◇ ◇ ◇

And time moves on just a little bit. Rio had been consulted by the two of them in Hota's room. It's all about the future of the two of them.

A little while later, I had no doubt that I would be able to reveal the secrets of Lieselotte, Rio, but for the time being, I'm relieved that I missed my expectations.

"I see. I mean, he said he was worried about what you two should do in the future. I thought I was going to act with Her Royal Highness Princess Christina..."

When I finished listening, Rio told me to pry into the reaction between the two of them.

"No, we were acting with the princesses in the first place because we didn't want to be in the castle more than that..."

"Didn't want to be in the castle, did you?"

"Ugh, yeah. Well, the..."

When he gets stuck in Rio, Kota looks badly out of his sight.

"Uh, well, Hota had a lot going on. You don't even want to remember much right now, so don't ask me in depth until you calm down."

Pity shrugged his shoulders and said that to care for Kota. Then, Hota says, "I don't care..."

"Okay.... But anyway, how did Mr. Hota get out of the castle?

Everyone has something they don't want to hear - that's what I thought, and Rio nodded honestly. And I'm just moving the subject to a story about pity.

"Mm-hmm. I mean, I was Kota's escort, or I just took a ride. Well, in the castle it was uncomfortable or boring..."

I said, pity scratched my head pounding.

"... I understand very well that you two are no-plan about the future. He said he got in trouble for being stuck in there by Master Lieselotte."

"Well, to put it bluntly, I guess so. It was the best I could get out of the castle and travel this far."

When Rio grinned and said, pity nodded lazily.

(Somehow, Mr. Poor is a my-paced person. I'm not sure if it's initiative or not)

That was the person assessment of Rio's pity. Should I say that I am just fine? It's as if you're even listening to a high school student's pathway consultation. In fact, it's not a mistake because we were both in high school.

"That said, aren't there so many choices given to you two? Has Her Royal Highness Princess Christina told you anything...?

"I guess you said you'd give me a job if you were coming with me. Fortunately, we seem to have more magic than people, and for once, we were educated in the other world. Especially when it comes to the computational field. They seem to have better abilities than the nobles in this world, so they'll treat you better."

When Rio asks the question, Kota answers that he's back on track.

"I see. Now you will be understaffed, so talented people with good clerical skills will certainly be treasured."

Rio communicates his thoughts.

"Well, we know from our previous relationship that the princess hasn't lied either. But I was wondering if I could stick with it like this."

And pity said with a thought face.

"... do you have a job idea? Unless you're Conne, the only option left is an adventurer, right?

When Rio says so...

"Are adventurers, after all, adventurous?

Kota asks and turns his curious gaze to Rio. The same goes for pity.

"I don't know what image you have, but it's not an easy job, is it? Income is not stable, and your body is capital, so if you get sick, your income will be interrupted. The job is about physical labor all over the city, out of the city, collecting herbs, crusading demons, and sometimes fighting as mercenaries."

"... but rewarding is a job, right? Some of them make a lot of money."

"You'll be there, but it's just a handful. Sometimes it's even a life threatening job, right?

"Ugh, yeah. Of course I know that..."

At that age, Kota seems interested in the profession of adventurer. Rio figured it out...

"... are you also looking at possibly becoming an adventurer?

And that's what I asked.

"No, well, yeah. As one option...... If Restoration belongs to an organization in the future, I don't see any way ahead of it... Even if you belong, you may not be able to operate freely."

Kouta snorts.

"That's right......, didn't you have pity, too?

Rio looked at pity and asked.

"No, I don't know... I guess I'm not interested.... that a man would admire? Well, still, I'm a man who wants to live solid."

Pity said his thoughts after the bat seemed to affirm them badly.

"… I personally recommend living steadfastly, but any time you become an adventurer, you should save for the cost of living for the moment"

"That's... yeah. I know."

When Rio tells the truth, Kota nods as he tells himself.

"So, in that sense, why not take care of Her Royal Highness Princess Christina for the time being? Of course, we need to check the terms of employment."

After all, as Rio, I could not say anything irresponsible and could only offer a plan that was not difficult.

"... right, right. Very helpful. I'll discuss it with my senior some more and think about it. Thank you, Mr. Hart."

Kota bows down to thank Rio.

In the meantime, this place thus subsided, but it was Rio who thought a little bit dangerously about what choice the two of us would make ahead.

◇ ◇ ◇

When Rio finished his conversation with Hota and the others, it was now time for him to return to the room he had been given. So, when I walked up to the front of the room...

"Ah, Hart. Welcome home!"

Celia stood in front of the room. When I find Rio, he comes running over with a bright look on his face.

"... Yep. What's wrong, in here? Maybe you've been waiting forever or something?

Rio asked the question with his eyes round.

"Yeah. I just got here. Isiah told me it was time for Rio to come back."

Celia laughs "ehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe"

"I see. Why don't you just go inside the room for now. I'll make you some tea."

"Yeah. But, Hart......, are you a little tired?

Celia peeks into Rio's complexion from the bottom and inquires. Rio is a boulder in his heart, and when he admires Celia for watching well -

"It's okay. Because when I saw the teacher's face, I felt better."

That's what I said, and I made him appeal to be healthy. In fact, I was tired of talking to different people, but it's true that my heart was relieved to see Celia's face.

"Hey, I don't know what to say. This child..."

Celia blushes and leans down.

"Let's go in. Go ahead."

When Rio opened the door, he waited beside the entrance to encourage Celia to enter.

When Celia enters the room first and Rio is also late, she closes the door to the room. So, we were alone indoors - and thoughts, Isiah appeared largely materialized.

"Isiah, the teacher's escort. Thanks."

I thank Isiah for Rio's appearance.

"Celia is right. Spring Man, you look a little pale."

Isiah said so, gently stroking Rio's cheek. Peek into Rio's face from close range.

"... I'm fine. Because it was a long journey, and there's a lot going on today, and I'm just a little tired. I saw the two of you in the face, and I'm feeling better."

"Yes..."

Although Isiah nodded, she still looks at Rio's face with some worrying gaze. The hand remains in touch with Rio's cheek.

"Hey, hey! Then let's have some tea, tea! It's only when you're tired that you have to drink tea and relax!

Celia says it's mundane and pulls Rio's arm.

"... Yep. We have all kinds of good tea leaves, so try a few. You brew delicious."

How many more times will I be able to make tea for Celia before I travel - Rio nods and walks away, thinking about it.

Isiah stared at the side of Rio like that.
