The Unwelcomed Visitor

The Unwelcomed Visitor

Autumn has arrived.

So is harvest season.

The women gathered rice and wheat crops while the men followed with hoes, swinging on the now-naked ground.

Among them, Rio's figure could be seen.

The fields are plowed to remove the roots of the rice plants left behind after harvesting.

In fact, Rio could plow the fields in an instant using Spirit Arts.

However, such an ugly method could only be done if Rio was present and it was unwise to eliminate the villagers from their work.

Before he realized it, countless blisters had formed and exploded in his hands.

Even so, Rio wholeheartedly continued plowing the fields.

It was a monotonous job, but it reminded him of the time he helped a farming family in his previous life. Remembering those times made him happy.

Among the agricultural reforms proposed by Rio, renovated agricultural tools have shown results.

Some villagers used hoes modified by Rio and admired its ease of use.

Soil improvements and seeding are being done on separate unused land so the results won't be until next year.

There was still plenty of time until then, as well as a lot of preparation to be done.

「Ooi ~ It's almost time to rest!」

When the work had progressed to a certain extent and the end was in sight, Ruri declared the break time with a loud voice.

"Good! It's lunch time. One for each person, okay? Be sure to thank Rio for the salt added to the meal today! 」

Usually, there is no lunch break, but today, although limited to just one per person, a ball of salted rice is served.

Some women including Ruri gathered in the village chief's housing to prepare a rice ball using the salt brought by Rio and the village's rice supply.

「Rio! Thank you!"

The married men in the village received the rice balls in high spirits and loudly thanked Rio.

「Don't worry about that. 」

Rio responded to their thank you sign with a smile.

"Wait on! You guys are also grateful to Rio! 」

With a pouting expression, the single men received the rice ball in silence and were scolded by Ruri.

They ignored Ruri's words, pretended not to hear them, and began to stuff rice balls into their mouths.

Their eyes widened in shock with the increased salt content.

However, when they remembered that the salt was provided by Rio, a complicated feeling arose within them.

「Yeah, don't they behave like children? What's up with them? 」

Ruri said such a thing when Rio came to receive the rice ball after making sure every villager had received their share.

「No, well it's natural for them to hate me because I can still be considered an outsider. 」

With a wry smile, Rio made a comment on their defense.

「It's not true. Everyone in the village has accepted you. They only sulked because they were children. Hey, let's eat together. Everyone is calling us. 」

With that said, Ruri pulled Rio's hand to where the married men and women gathered.

Amidst all the noisy chatter, a group of young single girls who were impatiently waiting for Rio's arrival called out to him in a fiery voice and invited him to sit down with them.

「You haven't eaten?」

Surprised that no girl had touched their rice ball yet, Rio asked them about it.

"No! It's better to eat with everyone! 」

A young girl exclaimed like that with sparkling eyes.

「It .. sorry, looks like I made you wait. 」

Rio slightly lowered his head to apologize.

「Eh ~ Sayo says she would rather eat with Rio-sama than us ~」

「I— Is not it! Ah no! It's not that I don't want to eat with Rio-sama and the others! 」

The other girls started teasing Sayo.

As a result, Sayo became confused and her face turned crimson.

His appearance reminded him of adorable little animals, such as Latifa. [ED: ⁇ _ ⁇ ]

The others carefully watched his chaotic state.

Without a doubt, he was appreciated by everyone.

「Yes, actually, I am also waiting because I want to eat together Rio-sama. 」

The girl who had just teased Sayo spoke up.

「Haha, I really appreciate your thoughts but, next time don't wait for me. 」

Rio replied with a refreshing smile, although a hint of irony could be felt.

「E ~ uh .. But, Rio-sama exudes the feeling of a noble. 」

「Yes, how do you say it? It seems like he has a completely different aura from the other people in the village, right? Look, even now they're glaring at us. 」

「Uwah ~ What's wrong with them? Very creepy. 」

「As you know, don't you think those people are the same?」

「Even comparing them to Rio-sama would be an insult to him. 」

「Ahaha, you were right once ~」

As the only male among the girls chatting, Rio felt uneasy in this situation.

He could feel the gazes of the youths from a distance flooding down his back.

They could not accept the fact that all the young women in the village liked Rio.

「Ah, come to think of it, it seems like the farming tool conceived by Rio is really popular!」

「Yeah, my dad is really excited about it. 」

Working together with the village blacksmith, the farming tools conceived by Rio were already used by some villagers and garnered a lot of praise.

It was decided that only the defective tools would be replaced with new variants.

「Soap Rio-sama is even better than that!」

「Only fragrance that makes you feel like a princess, right? Right

Soaps formulated and distributed to each household were also positively received.

To improve the village's overall sanitation level, everyone is encouraged to use soap without a backup while working outside.

The quality of life in the village continues to improve thanks to Rio's achievements.

In addition to a handful of young men, the village also displayed a very friendly atmosphere for Rio.

Although he felt a little discouraged by the blatant hostility of the boys and the overbearing affection of the girls, Rio was confident that his relationship with them would continue to increase.

「Rio?」

When Rio was deep in thought about such things, Ruri, who was sitting next to him, called out to him.

"What's wrong? You look like a daze. 」

Ruri glanced at Rio face with a slightly worried expression.

「Yes, I just have a little thought. Sorry 」

He slightly lowered his head with a wry smile.

It was one of his bad habits where he would be completely immersed in his own thoughts.

Ruri is the only girl in the village who treats her normally without any appreciation.

Maybe it's because they're cousins, even if he doesn't know himself.

She was his valuable conversation partner because he did not give her any special treatment.

「Dan, did you know that by train, the capital is only about a day's journey from here? Once the harvest is over, we sell whatever surplus we collect after taxes in the capital. 」

「Hee, that's quite interesting. 」

Rio expressed his interest when Ruri started talking about the capital.

"Very? I heard Dora-san talking to Obaa-chan about it, but is Rio willing to come along as a guard? 」

「I don't mind. 」

「Then I will tell Obaa-chan soon. 」

Ruri went running to Yuba's place with a happy smile.

When he saw Ruri's back retreat into the distance, Rio stood up and continued his work.

「Alright, let's keep doing everyone's best. 」

「Okayyy ~」

The girls gave a half-hearted response to the words of his departure.

After that, Rio devoted himself to his work without any rest.

Thanks to his efforts, he was able to finish the job earlier than usual.

Ruri was still working hard producing village-specific products so she would return a while later.

Returning home early, Rio discovered that he had a little free time and decided to prepare dinner.

Yuba was also at home, receiving and organizing reports from the villagers.

Not wanting to disturb them, he prepared tea and gave a short greeting before making preparations for dinner.

An irresistible aroma began to pour out from the kitchen a moment later.

「It smells good as usual. You never stop amaze me . 」

Yuba appeared in the kitchen after finishing discussing with the villagers.

「No, it's just that I have a little free time on my hands. 」

Recently, Ruri had started coming home from work late.

On the other hand, Yuba is often needed by villagers.

As a result, Rio took over the dinner preparations without their presence.

He did not feel bothered to prepare dinner for the three of them at all.

Amidst his preparations, a loud voice suddenly sounded coming from nearby.

Rio and Yuba exchanged looks.

「Quarrels?」

Yuba muttered with a doubtful voice.

The voices were clearly angry.

Although infighting between villagers was unheard of, they were rare.

Therefore, it made no sense for Yuba to be somewhat confused.

「I'll go see what happens. 」

「I'll come too. 」

Saying that, the two immediately headed out through the front door.

Not far from there, they found two groups of men glaring at each other furiously.

On one side were the youths from the village, while on the other side were made up of another group of youths that Rio was unfamiliar with.

Although the number of villagers was more than the opposing group, there were rather large people among the foreigners.

If it came to an all-out fight, the man would definitely play an important role.

And lastly, a lone girl standing behind was protected by the village men.

It was Ruri.

What the hell is going on in there?

For now, Rio decided to approach them.

「You are , what do you mean you want to stay at the village chief's house? Huh!?"

And there stood Shin, yelling and threatening a man who was quite handsome and well-built.

「Hah, not only am I a guest, I am also the son of the neighboring village chief. It was natural for me to stay at the village chief's house. 」

The man threatened by Shin replied to him with a fearless smile.

「Haah !? Then there's a guest house! And you want to stay for two damned days !? Know your jerk spot. 」

It seemed that in the face of them, Shin lost his patience.

「You how else, you know. Our wagon broke down nearby and was impossible to repair at the end of the day as it was already night.

The man spoke to Shin in a condescending tone.

「So, we will fix it tomorrow and leave the day after that. I mean, in total, it hasn't even been two whole days. Doesn't that make sense to you? Or are you an idiot? 」

The man shrugged while directing a look of pity towards Shin.

「Che. Your attitude does not reflect your appearance at all. More reasons for trash like you to live in a homestead.Valuable as you are not worth even setting foot in the village chief's house. 」

「Haah !? Are you trying to act smart with me, you weak? 」

"Ha! A piece of shit like you is only after Ruri's body! 」

Seeing their reaction, the man waved widely.

「Aah, I understand now. Stupid idiot . You're not even her lover, but you want to monopolize her? Foolish people, all of you. 」

The man mocked them.

「.... what did you just say !?」

Like oil being poured into the fire, the anger of the village men exploded.

「After all, thanks to this great me being the second son of the neighboring village chief, maybe I should consider Ruri as my bride to ease the matter of succession of the unauthorized village chief and become the next village chief. Because it's natural for us to deepen our relationship from here out. 」

In an extremely turbulent atmosphere, the man offered even more provoking words.

「Don't fuck with me!」

The men in the village seemed like they would break away at any moment.

The situation is at its peak point.

Two people approached the situation and were greeted with an explosive atmosphere.

Rio glanced at Yuba who was walking beside him and saw a look of disdain.

"Shut up! Gon, what are you doing? If you are trying to fight here then leave this instant! 」

Just when the outbreak of an all-out brawl was about to occur, Yuba called out to everyone gathered in a thunderous voice.

「Che ..」

The big man, Gon, clicked his tongue.

The village men also took their eyes off Yuba with displeased faces.

Standing next to Yuba, Rio surveyed all the men.

（That man, could it be .. that he tried to fight from the beginning?）

Rio observed Gon with cold eyes.

All of his speech and behavior pointed towards starting the fight.

If it was just his usual attitude, then he was a fool.

However, if it is intentional, then the problem lies in the motive. After all, his character was quite unpleasant.

「So, if you come for a fight, the way out is there. 」

With a tone that left no room for discussion, Yuba pointed towards the village entrance.

「Che, didn't you listen to our situation first? We were in the middle of transporting our surplus harvest to be traded and sold but our train broke down halfway, so we sought refuge in this village. 」

Gon explained the reason why he stopped by the village.

"I saw . There is only one hut I can keep for you as the peddler also stopped by around this time. Choose one as you wish. 」

「Oi oi, did you tell me to sleep, snuggle up with everyone in that tiny cabin?」

Despite having caused so much trouble, he was still shameless.

Rio looked at her with disdain.

「It's reasonable. I'm not going to let you stay in my house after causing such a disturbance. Obey accepting your punishment. Now, move. 」

Yuba spoke in a loud voice that left no room to argue.

「Che, okay, I get it. I'm leaving!"

Gon replied in a very unpleasant tone.

He passed Shin, roughly brushing him.

When his body was hit, Shin twisted his face in annoyance.

"Ha! Thas right. And while you do, help me and lock yourself in there. 」

However, a provoking smile immediately formed when Shin spat out humiliation.

"Huh? Wimp trying to be smart with me again? 」

At that moment, Gon lost his temper and his hand flew to Shin's neck.

He grabbed Shin by the neck and lifted him off the ground with just one hand.

「Gah ..」

Shin grabbed Gon's arm while writhing in pain.

Despite struggling to break free with all his strength, Gon's thick arms did not move.

An expression of excitement spread across Gon's face as he watched Shin wriggle in pain.

「Shin!」

Ruri screamed in panic as she quickly headed towards them.

Seeing that the situation would turn for the worst if it continued, Rio decided to step in and help Shin.

「Stop this at once! Or I'll really make you go away! 」

Fortunately, Yuba stepped in, reprimanding Gon loudly before Rio or Ruri arrived.

Reluctantly Gon released his grip on Shin's neck.

「Oi. This person provoked this village guest, me, the second son of the neighboring village chief. 」

Therefore, Gon glanced at Shin, who was lying unconscious on the ground and rubbed his neck in pain.

「You were the one who started this mess. There won't be a third time, okay? 」

Yuba gave his final warning in an emotionless tone.

「Hah .. Okay, I understand. I will leave this worthless village as soon as possible. 」

Perhaps because he could vent some of his frustration at Shin, he immediately left after leaving behind some mocking words.

「Shin! Are you okay?"

After Gon left, Ruri rushed over to take care of Shin.

「Yes, I'm fine. Sorry 」

Shin apologized in annoyance.

「It wasn't Shin who needed to apologize! Sheesh .. 」

Ruri offered a hand to help him get off the ground.

While refusing his help, Shin stood up with a somewhat relieved look.

When he met eyes with Rio by chance, a triumphant smile formed on his face.

Seeing that, Rio could only smile wryly in astonishment.

After which, Gon's friends obediently walked towards the guesthouse to rest without causing any more fuss.

When they returned home for dinner, Rio and the others had already forgotten about Gon.

「Haa ~ food today also delicious ~」

Ruri's eyes sparkled during the meal prepared by Rio.

The plate has high compatibility with rice as proof of the chopsticks Ruri moves faster than usual.

Seeing her happy expression, she felt her dinner preparation was worth the effort.

It was a noisy day with uninvited guests stopping by, but the usual peace returned when dinner was served.

At around the same time, in the cottage that was lent to Gon and his friends, many rowdy men exchanged booze.

There was a shortage of snacks but empty plates were strewn around the table.

「That Ruri girl really matures to be something very, right Aniki?」

A short man standing beside Gon spoke while pouring another drink for him.

「Yes, even though she's still a stubborn little girl, isn't she? I'll make him give up on me. 」

With a wide smile, Gon emptied his cup in one gulp.

Since childhood, Gon was grumpy, rude, and treated as a troubled child in his village.

He recklessly abused his authority and forced others to submit through brute force, scaring him and exasperating the villagers.

In fact, while his elder brother was expected to succeed as the next village chief, Gon only wanted a little to be recognized.

However, his older brother hesitated to publicly criticize Gon which eventually led to Gon being ostracized because he could not handle it anymore. Before long, Gon grows up to be a very selfish and cunning individual.

Gon is 16 years old.

He had already passed the point where his personality could be changed for longer, willingly or unwillingly.

Thus, the second and lower son in Gon village began to gather around him like a fish sucker2, forming a group of troubled children.

The group became increasingly crowded in the following years to the point where even the village chief found it difficult to deal with them.

Even his current task, to trade the excess harvest in the capital, was not initially given to Gon and his companions.

But then, supported by his great ego, as always, he forced himself into the trade union.

Of course, Gon and his mismatched group were no match for a pleasant travel companion so a different person from the trading group had to be sent.

Nevertheless, even if it was only for a while, making Gon and his group far away from the village removed a lot of the villagers' pressure.

Therefore, when it came time to trade their surplus harvest, the village chief would send Gon to the capital.

During that time, Gon gets acquainted with Ruri and sets his sights on her.

Although Gon is unable to succeed his village to become the next village chief because he is the second son, he sees that the village of Ruri has no successor and publicly declares himself to be the next village chief.

In contrast to his wishes, the village chief recommended him to join the national army, not even hiding to hide his desire to see Gon leave.

Definitely not something Gon would accept.

He will live as he wants.

The key to his ambition is Ruri.

And like the icing cake, Ruri's body matched her wishes.

He exuded a motherly aura.

When he was a child, he was brought to this village by the village chief and met him for the first time. Love at first sight .

At first, he treated her well, but she was already disliked by him due to her past mistakes.

However, something so trivial like that did not make it a phase.

He will make her submit by force.

「O— Oi, we can't cause problems, you know. 」

No longer able to ignore the problem, the man in charge of public relations and the leader of the group, requested that Gon not cause unnecessary trouble.

"Aah?"

Mabuk alkohol, Gon menatapnya dengan tatapan mengancam.

「Hii— Ah, no, I mean, please don't make too much trouble if you can. 」

Being glared at by the eyes like a predator, the man could only give a pitiful warning.

「Hah, it's not like we're going to do anything bad. I mean, isn't it convenient for the village when I'm gone? You just have to focus on doing business in the capital. 」

「Ah .. I— It's not like that. 」

The man looked for words after realizing Gon had seen him.

However, the man was no longer a concern in Gon's mind.

All he thought about was Ruri.

「Stay, that old Yuba must have come at a bad time. 」

One of the suckers spoke in disappointment.

「Huh .. The old woman came just as I was about to defeat the living creature from Shin. 」

Gon snorted and emptied the remaining alcohol in his cup.

「I can stay at the village chief's house now and have Ruri serve me. 」

Initially Gon plans to forge a striking cart and trick them into letting him stay at the village chief's house.

At that moment, he intended to receive Shin's punch without making a fuss.

He knew he was disliked by Ruri and the other people in the village.

That's why he tried to provoke a fight.

「Well, I'll just sneak in. It won't be too long. 」

Although a hint of immaturity could still be felt from when Gon saw her last year, Ruri had grown tremendously, developing an attractive feminine body.

And now, he was ready to pluck.

He would grab her and completely expose her disrespectful figure.

Even if he refused, he could only threaten her into submission.

Since the implicit law of "yobai3 culture" was an accepted practice among the villagers, Ruri could do nothing but accept him as her marriage partner if she forced herself on him.

However, the Yobai culture requires the consent of both parties.

That was the point that Gon ignored.

How to enjoy it?

Hopefully, he will be careless tonight and obediently accept his progress.

Part of his wagon was damaged due to this rare opportunity.

The plan will be done tomorrow night, after all the villagers are asleep.

Gon immerses himself in a fantasy of destroying the reverberating Ruri and making her cry.
