Seirei Gensouki Konna Sekai De Deaeta Kimi Ni
Chapter 19's

Back in the forest, after buying additional rations and camping equipment for Latifa, the two of them started running eastward.

It seems Latifa was only instructed to master 『Body Strengthening Magicians (Hyper Physical Ability)』.

The magic was very useful but also had many problems.

First, if the body was not also strengthened like Rio's, it would cause the body to scream in pain the longer it strengthened its physical abilities.

Also, his energy efficiency was also not good, as it continued to consume magic power.

But then, using spirit arts to strengthen the body also had the same problem.

At that point, the beastman tribes that had tough and flexible bodies had more affinity for the 『Body Strengthening Magicians (Hyper Physical Ability)』 than the human race.

Latifa magical power was also the best among the people she knew; that was what made it possible for her to continue strengthening her body and move with Rio for a long distance.

Although Latifa can match Rio's top speed with her strengthened physical magic power, her stamina is no match for her.

He will lose his breath after running for 30 minutes.

Rio slowed down his speed slightly, until he reached a speed where Latifa could follow him.

Although it took precious time, they rested properly.

「Here, water. 」

He passed by the canteen he bought for her and filled it with water using spirit magic for her.

「Thank you, desu. 」

Latifa drank some water, gulped it down with her little lips.

Rio also drank water from his own canteen, in front of Latifa.

Guu ~, Latifa's stomach gives off a funny complaint.

When Rio turned his gaze to Latifa, he strongly shook his head.

Seeing him, Rio could only smile bitterly.

「It's time for lunch, huh? ………. . Here 」

Using his cooking knife, he cut the bento bread he had received from the inn lady and handed it to Latifa.

However, Latifa became confused, seeing her skip the bread.

His eyes looked uneasy between Rio and the bread.

"What's the problem?"

「Is-it's okay for me to eat?」

He asked while looking a little scared.

All this time, he lived while continuing to look at his master's expression.

He was trained, so that unless he was given clear orders, he was forbidden to do anything.

Even when food was served in front of him, unless he was told he could eat, he could not put a finger on it.

The training was hard to that level.

Therefore, he had a deep fear from the bottom of his heart, making someone unintentionally angry.

So to say, obeying one's will is self-defense for his spirit. That trait remained deeply ingrained in his mind, even after he was freed from slavery.

He followed Rio after being freed from slavery; this action was only natural since it was the self-defense mechanism of his soul.

「No need to feel quiet. It's okay for you to eat it. 」

Although Rio did not understand the illness that was too hanging in Latifa's heart, he secretly understood that he was used to taking orders, and so he used a soft and gentle voice to tell her to eat.

Latifa timidly held the bread in her mouth.

After enjoying the taste, he ate the bread in a hurry.

Eating is no special luxury. However, as far as he remembered in his life as a slave, this was the most luxurious meal he had ever had.

「Hauf-Haufhauf-uf-higu-ugu」 [TL: he chokes on bread, make sure you don't imagine it the wrong way]

He filled his cheeks with bread and chewed it as if he was sucking on it. Latifa ate while crying.

「I won't steal food, so eat slowly. It's bad for your body. 」

Rio slowly patted the back of Latifa, who was eating while crying.

「Uuu, because-onii-sama, she-eating-me-with-food-every day. 」

As she recalled her food until now, Latifa's cries grew stronger.

What kind of treatment does Latifa receive while eating? .

Rio's face changed when he thought about it.

Latifa buried her face in Rio chest. Rio then patted his head gently and waited for Latifa to calm down.

「I've heard that wild beasts are a race that really take care of their brothers. That is why, Latifa will also be welcomed when you arrive at their place. You don't have to remember things like that anymore. 」

Rio was troubled by what he had to say to make Latifa stop crying, so he said that.

「I, is that true?」

Latifa looked at Rio with unbelievable eyes.

「Yes, no doubt. It was a much better place than the human country. 」

Dodging his gaze from Latifa, Rio looked somewhere far away.

「Then, since you are already cheerful enough, let's move immediately. We had no choice but to keep moving before we found the beastman territory 」

To erase the feeling in his chest, Rio suggested that they continue to move to Latifa. [TL: He was almost aware of Loliconism]

Staying in that place would also not give them a solution.

That's why he felt like moving his body.

Latifa nodded while looking at Rio face.

For several hours after that, they repeated the process of running and resting.

They ignored the monsters that passed through.

If they were to fight with them at any time, the progress of their journey would be far from schedule.

「We will rest in this place today. Wait a minute . 」

Rio found a cave suitable for camping when the sun was almost tilted to the west, and signaled Latifa to stop.

After a few leaves and branches were collected, with trained hands, Rio built a simple tent using it.

The plant tent; although its appearance would make one feel hesitant to lie in it, especially for a modern person like him would lay down some psychological barrier to sleep in such a tent, it is not, but it has many advantages to fool the many monsters and wild beasts in this world.

He did not use plants except to fuse naturally with nature.

In addition, it also covered their body odor to some extent.

Furthermore, the forest would be cold at night; coupled with that, the weather could also become unstable.

In the case of a plant tent, for example, if it rains, depending on the setting, it will be difficult for water to leak under the leaves.

On a large scale, it can withstand wind and rain to some extent.

—-

In addition, because the air is always ventilated by gaps between plants, living in it is very convenient. Also different from tents made of nylon, it can create an open fire inside without choking on the smoke. [TL: are we ignoring the mosquitoes-san here?] [ED2: Smoke from the fire in the tent helps repel mosquitoes] [TL: and choking that sleeps inside]

Latifa sent a respectful look to Rio who made the bed in the blink of an eye.

「Food will be ready for a moment. You can wait inside; I'll call you when it's ready. You can use your nose to search for enemies, as he will have a wider range than I do. Do not hesitate to contact me if you find any abnormalities. 」

Latifa nodded.

Seeing Latifa understand, Rio left the camp.

Of course, cooking that produced large amounts of scents was not frowned upon in the camp, but Rio, who was used to the delicious food from his previous life, had no intention of eating bland food. [TL: The current King Narou who suffered over 20 years of unpleasant cooking and was forced to eat turtle meat in his childhood will definitely curse Rio]

After finding a suitable place, Rio started cooking.

He gathered salt and water, made from spirit arts, in a pot.

He's gonna cook pasta.

He heated the pot with fire, created by lighting the collected wood.

At the same time, he also prepared a pot of one size smaller, which could fit inside the other pan, to boil the paste while it was stored. He put the water in a smaller pot and heated it with fire.

It was seasoned using some spices he had bought in Almond.

In addition, he also keeps edible wild plants in his bag while on the move, as he takes into account the balance of nutrients.

He began washing edible wild plants with warm water, then cut them into small pieces with a cooking knife.

After cutting wild plants, he chopped jerky.

He arranged the scent emanating from it, moving it to the sky using wind spirit arts so that monsters with excellent sense of smell would not come.

Such an original cooking method could not be thought of or produced, even by the nobles who were traveling when they were camping.

「N?」

He turned around as he sensed someone approaching, it was Latifa who was captivated by the smell.

His nose moved and moved.

When he saw that Rio was smiling wryly, his face immediately flushed red.

「Come here, this is pasta soup. However, it feels like the real one. 」

He passed the container, which was already filled with it, to Latifa.

Rio likes the spicy taste, but he makes it easy for kids to eat because Latifa may be bad with spicy food.

「.............『 Spaghetti 』？ THIS, IS『 Spaghetti 』, right!?」

Looking at the contents of the container, Latifa could not hide the astonishment in her voice.

「A-Yes ……………. Eat quickly before it gets cold. 」

Rio replied with a surprised voice.

Latifa, who got a permit to eat from Rio, ate the pasta with sparkling eyes.

Latifa could skillfully use a fork, as if she was used to eating pasta. He ate it while rolling the pasta inside the soup with a fork.

Rio's gaze was fixed on Latifa. [TL: You don't see his ears or his tail do you?]

Pasta is not an ingredient that comes from this world.

At that time, the girl also said 『Spaghetti』.

Latifa was a slave, so there was no way she knew how to use a fork.

However, he knew the best way to eat pasta.

(maybe, he too ....

Although it doesn't seem like it.

To think that a few days ago, he had discovered the existence of a reincarnated person, now he found a new one.

Especially meeting in such a way.

Rio was amazed by this strange lucky blow.

「Hafu, hafuhafuu」 [TL: Latifa eat pasta, same as remind]

Latifa frantically ate the hot paste.

「Because it's still hot, don't eat too fast or you'll burn your tongue. See, you can also eat bread by soaking it in a thick soup. If you do, the soup will be a little cold. 」

Rio advised Latifa to use bread similar to hard preserved biscuits.

Latifa followed Rio's advice, eating bread soaked in soup; it felt like making her face show a satisfied smile.

Rio then tried to imagine Latifa's mental age.

Judging from their exchange so far, no matter how he looked at it, Latifa's mental age was not much different from her appearance.

It seemed like he had no social experience from his previous life.

（Is this acting ........ no, it is impossible ................ if that is the case, was he a child in his previous life?)

After some difficulties in his head, Rio came to one conclusion.

The chances are very high.

He thought about the matter about Latifa while slowly eating his paste.

If what Rio guessed to be true, Latifa was at least a little girl in a top-level elementary school when one day she suddenly became a slave.

Although she did not know how Latifa regained her memories, there was no doubt that her physical age was still below a single digit.

Adding the mental age of elementary school children to the single-digit mental age, the total age could not be their mental age. [ED: Means you can't think like an adult even if you add the mental ages of two children together. ]

(If that's the case, it makes more sense that the reincarnated person is still childish.)

Rio could only imagine the cruel fate that befell Latifa.

Rio's case is still better.

Although she did not choose to start as an orphan, whether her luck was good or bad, she had received a decent education, so she knew how to live.

Although he is currently a criminal due to false accusations, it does not mean that his life and freedom are restricted like slaves.

Moreover, his mind had also matured, so he could at least accept the impossibility of this world.

But Latifa is different.

A very young boy who has lived an abundant life in modern Japan, suddenly deprives all of his human rights, and lives like a pet.

Maybe he received ill-treatment beyond imagination.

It seemed like he couldn't help but have some kind of training, for him to have a cruel nature, not according to his age.

Even so, perhaps he accepted his life as a slave as something natural, until he regained his memories of his previous life.

Because Latifa was basically a slave. [TL: a slave child is also a slave, at least until they can buy back their freedom]

But, that was all until he regained his memories in his previous life, it was just that he could not take his life as a slave like that was something natural.

He wanted to be freed from slavery, then return to his home world; there was no doubt that he lived while thinking that way.

Undoubtedly, Latifa had received mental damage at that level. It could not be called a trauma anymore; that was what Rio concluded. [TL: Addition of Diri–> ALL THIS HAPPENED IN 0. 5 Seconds]

He would have no purpose if he regained his freedom, because he was basically a slave.

Because he had no free will from the start.

But, he regained his memories and obtained his own freedom goal.

Should it be called a disaster or a fortune?

（Sial ……. . Could it be, this was also the reason why his mind was so unstable. ）

Rio just became more disgusted, the more he imagined Latifa's state.

Latifa wholeheartedly ate Rio's cooking.

Perhaps because he recalled his previous life, pearls of tears gathered in his eyes before he realized it.

Pouring the soup until it dried, he licked the empty container as if regretting emptying it.

Rio took one second to help his empty container.

After that, Latifa continued eating after lowering her head and smiling at Rio.

Rio was also in no mood to continue eating, he placed his container after emptying it, and gave all the rest of the pot to Latifa.

In the end Rio did not tell Latifa that he himself was also a reincarnated person.
