For The Separation That Will Come One Day

Part 1

Winter is over, and spring is coming.

The formation of canals and waterwheels to fetch water was complete; the water wheel poured water into the canal running towards the village, as much as it needed.

Just like that, the sight of the waterwheel pulling water then pouring it into the canal, at first, made the villagers dumbfounded.

But, they soon got used to that comfort and it was an indispensable existence for their farm work.

Along with the completion of the land reform, Rio sowed the seeds for the harvest that year with some villagers.

「Rio ~. I have spread the seeds in the area I am heading to ~ 」

"Thank you very much . Then, can you help people who have not completed the designated area? 」

"GOOD!"

Their conversation echoed around them, as they were separated by a slight distance from each other.

After Rio revealed his relationship with Ruri, their relationship became more intimate than before.

Even though she was already a sociable girl, because Rio changed the way she spoke when she was with Ruri, it was as if they became more intimate compared to before.

Although the other girls asked Ruri the reason for Rio's change in the way he spoke to Ruri, as if competing with the others, it was, he was unable to tell them the real reason and had no choice but to say an appropriate evasive answer.

After all, Ruri just said, “Because we live under one roof, I just want you to stop being formal because it will make me tired」

Although quite a lot of those reasons are even without worries, more and more people are suspicious that their reasons may have something to do with the relationship between a man and a woman.

Due to the change in the relationship between the two, even most of the girls who had been secretly eyeing Rio until then had completely withdrawn from the competition.

（Both, I wonder if they are dating ...............）.

But there was a girl who had not given up.

Name's Sayo.

Although she was trying to help Rio, she was anxious when she saw Rio and the others.

Although Sayo predicted that Ruri was not aiming for Rio, she might need to stop such thinking and reconsider their relationship, when looking at their intimacy.

Or not, he felt strong if he thought that way.

Although he did not know what he should say, somehow his chest felt gloomy when he saw them chatting happily. [TL: YANDERE POTENTIAL DISCOVERED! X 3]

The way Rio spoke to Ruri, showing an incomparable wall to the other village girls, inevitably Sayo felt anxious about it.

「Should I help you plant seeds, Sayo-san?」

When he dazedly thought like that about Rio, shortly after, the real person spoke to Sayo.

「E-AH, Rio-sama！ M-Sorry! I just got immersed in my mind! 」

Rio who offered his help made Sayo return from her delusion.

When looking around them, the fact that Sayo's pace was the slowest was striking.

When he realized that, Sayo's sunburned white face flushed red.

「Please remember correctly. Because the one who will teach everyone in the village by sowing these seeds is Sayo-san after I am no longer in the village 」

Rio said that to Sayo who seemed to be unable to remember the exact method exactly.

「Eh ......?」

As if lightning struck out of nowhere in the middle of the day, blood dried from Sayo's face.

「U-Uhm！ Rio-sama! When are you leaving this village? 」

A confused Sayo asked Rio, who was already sowing seeds.

Rio's leaving the village.

Come to think of it, he suddenly remembered having heard such things when Rio had just arrived at the village.

But, Sayo completely forgot the fact that Rio was going to leave the village.

"Yes nih . I will leave this village around next fall 」

Rio replied from a place a bit far away from him.

Although that smile somehow felt lonely, she could not feel any doubt in Rio's will to leave the village.

「Next .......... . , Autumn ......... true Not too long 」

Sayo said those words in a weak tone as Rio's strong will was transmitted to him.

"Is something wrong ?"

Losing Sayo's answer back then, Rio asked her with a curious expression.

「Ah, it's nothing！ Nothing is wrong! 」

As if puzzled, Sayo shook her head.

It was likely that he suddenly became depressed.

But, there was no way she could cause trouble for Rio, more than she already was, so Sayo immersed herself with her own work.

Because she might start crying right away if she doesn't do that.

「Thank you all！ Thanks to all of you, I was able to complete the planned work today. Please do not forget about the seed sowing method I said today, and use starting next year 」

After the day's work was done, and he taught most of what he had to teach them, Rio declared that their work for the day was done.

While taking the opportunity, Rio also told the villagers that he would leave the village next fall.

Although he had already said that the first time he had come to the village, he had intended to inform them about it once again, at that place, with the intention of motivating them to learn knowledge.

None of the villagers now doubted Rio's knowledge, after his achievements with canals and waterwheels.

Rio's existence was already entirely natural to them; although the villagers were shocked, nothing showed any loss of calm.

It was night, the villagers scattered from the place.

「Rio！ Thanks for the hard work. Shall we go home? 」

Rio and Ruri were going back to the house where they lived together, as if it was something natural to them.

Sayo's house was in the opposite direction.

He could not ask her to go home together because it would look unnatural.

It was inevitable that Sayo was envious of Ruri.

「Okey. Thanks for the hard work . I wonder, what do you want for dinner today? 」

「Ah, then I want to eat Zousui * with leftover vegetables」 [TL *: Porridge rice containing vegetables, meat, fish, etc.......... seasoned with miso or soy sauce].

Sayo saw them chatting happily from behind with a dumbfounded expression.

She vaguely felt suspicious about their conversation, which was really like a married couple.

Before long Sayo walked back to her house with a sad figure.

Seeing that gloomy strange atmosphere, the villagers he met along the way felt disinclined to welcome him; they were all .

「…… !!!」

Section 2

When he arrived, his knees became limp; sayo sat at the entrance.

Just like that, she cried, her tears spurting like a broken dam.

「I ho ........ O-Oi, Sayo!」

At that place, Shin, who had just arrived, looked at her crying figure.

Even though he called out to her in a panic, Sayo did not lift her face.

Villagers who happened to pass in front of the entrance remembered Sayo saying something strange in the country, and rushed in panic.

「What's up？ Is there something going on? 」

Sayo gave a weak reaction.

Shin desperately thought of a reason for him to be like that.

"Is it .......... . . him?"

Shin knew that there was only one person who could make Sayo become like that.

Although there might be other reasons, he could only think of one person who could cause Sayo's emotions to change to that extent.

「Is Rio that ............. do something?」

Sayo was looking at her important hairpin, which she got from Rio.

She spoke happily about the gift she got from Rio, at home.

After the death of their parents, she tried her best in front of him; seeing what had happened recently, her child-like smile decreased.

That was why Shin was convinced that what made Sayo cry was Rio. [TL: You're the culprit [conan style]]

「I-It was not ........ Rio-sama is innocent ..........」.

When Shin's voice, which was filled with anger, reached Sayo's ears, she quickly told him.

But she could not speak her words well, because she was crying.

After Shin saw the state of his brother, it only triggered his anger further.

「 it, as I thought, it is better if he never comes to this village」

While saying that, Shin felt a strong sense of antipathy.

The village's livelihood was clearly improving thanks to Rio's arrival.

If Rio did not come, Ruri would probably have a cruel experience at the hands of Gon.

Rio was that kind of existence in his heart.

But, when he saw his little sister crying in front of him, he could not help but think that it would be better if he never came to the village.

Because at least his sister wouldn't cry.

「No, not that, Rio-sama said that he will leave the village ....., and then ……. 」

Sayo explained that it was not Rio's fault.

But Shin would probably take it as Rio's fault, even if he explained it honestly to him.

「You are wrong, this has nothing to do with Rio-sama ....」

When he saw that it had the opposite effect of what he expected, Sayo corrected him by saying that Rio really had nothing to do with it.

But, it's too late.

「The man will, go from the village ……. That's ……. 」

Shin then knew the reason why his sister was crying like that.

The truth is, Shin also knew that Rio would leave the village sooner or later.

Although she had completely forgotten about it, as she had become more familiar in the village lately; it was something she had known since the first time Rio arrived in the village.

At first, Shin was unable to like Rio, however, despite only being a temporary resident, the villagers carelessly accepted him; the last line was that he was getting more and more familiar with Ruri.

「……」

Shin fell into his own mind.

About what he should do.

About what she had to do to stop Sayo from crying.

But, Shin was the one who knew best that he was not someone suitable for such a thing.

He was getting annoyed when he thought about it. The next moment, he ran away from that place.

He decided to act on his instinct, rather than thinking about it.

「O-Oniichan！ W-wait! 」

Although he heard the voice of Sayo, who was trying to restrain him from behind, Shin kept running with all his strength and ignored his request.

Just like that, soon he arrived at Yuba's house.

「Oi, Rio!」

Changing her expression, then opening the door of the house, she called out Rio's name.

Rio, Yuba, and Ruri, who were preparing dinner in the hall, were astonished to see him like that.

「Do you have business with Rio?」

A few seconds later, Yuba asked his business in a strange voice.

Although it was truly a rare occurrence for Shin to do business with Rio, from his frantic look and spirit, it did not seem to be a trivial matter.

What business does he have with Rio.

「Please！ Please do not leave this village! 」

After saying that, Shin kowtowed in front of him.

「A-....」

The other three were speechless.

「I know I'm selfish by saying this！ But, please listen to what I say without saying anything. Are you going to stay in the village, even after this! 」

Sayo crying.

Shin continued to plead with Rio, saying words that he could not say.

When Rio and the others were stunned without being able to say anything -.

「O-Oniichan！ M-Sorry! My brother has troubled you ……. 」

Sayo, who had just come, was panting at the place.

When the figure of Shin prostrating came into his eyes, he quickly called out to him.

「See, onii-chan. You caused them problems. See right? 」

He then pulled Shin's body.

He took a quick glance at his little sister, who was trying hard to smile.

There were tears in the corner of her eyes.

Although his lips were slightly opened, Shin, who could feel his despair, raised his helpless body.

「Y-Yes ………. . My fault"

Losing strength earlier, Shin apologized with a dumbfounded face.

Section 3

「I'm really sorry！ I'll talk to my brother! 」

Sayo lowered her head deeply.

As if feeling uncomfortable with his actions, Shin also bowed together by his side.

It was just Shin's habit, doing something without thinking about the consequences when he lost his composure.

He had no idea how many times he had brought such trouble to Sayo.

Shin would feel very awkward after what he did.

「. We didn't hear anything about what happened. Right, Rio? 」

Yuba knew very well about the repeated crazy actions done by Shin.

He also understood what kind of reason for each time he carried out such an action.

Glancing at Ruri and Rio, who were still speechless over the actions of the pair of siblings, Yuba asked Rio while letting out a small sigh.

"Yes nih . I do not mind ............. 」...

Astonished at the sight of the pair of siblings, who were bowing to him, Rio agreed with Yuba, while somehow feeling that he should immediately escape from that place.

To be honest, Rio was also a little confused by what had just happened before.

It seemed that the turning point was when he told the time he was going to go to the village.

Moreover, the way Shin tried to hold him back from leaving the village gave him a big surprise.

If there was nothing between them, there might be no problem asking further.

Unable to give an answer to him when they were in that place, Rio accepted Yuba's proposal.

"Thank you very much! "

After receiving their approval, Shin thanked her again. Just like that, Shin returned to his house while being dragged by Sayo.

「By the way, should we have dinner first?」

Yuba said that while sighing deeply, looking at their backs that were retreating.

Together with Rio and Ruri, they timidly started their dinner.

For some reason their dinner was enveloped by an awkward atmosphere, they did not discuss anything about Shin's actions.

「Rio, I'll ask you something, will you lend me your ear for a moment?」

After dinner and they finished with tidying up after, Rio was asked by Yuba.

「Ya, is there a problem?」

「Is it OK to ask what you are trying to do, after you leave this village?」

The matter regarding Rio leaving the village, even though he had heard of it since the first time he started living in this village, he did not dismantle it too deeply that reason.

Somehow he felt awkward and did not pry any further but there was an incident caused by Shin.

Although Yuba slightly guessed one reason for Rio to leave the village, she thought that there were some other reasons for that, by looking at Rio's state.

So Yuba decided to ask further.

Ruri, who heard from their side, looked at Rio attentively.

「After I leave the village .........」.

When Rio answered that question, he paused for a moment.

After leaving the village, he would return to the Strahl region, but it seemed like he had to go to the Seirei no Tami first.

He would then gather information about Lucius after returning to the Strahl region.

And then, he also needed to report about his safety to his teacher, Seria.

He had only sent a letter, under an assumed name, to Seria once before, and had not made contact with her after that. [ED: That's the only thing he asks, asshole!!] [IT: Cool Senji-san, COOL]

Although he could not get along with the nobles of Bertram kingdom, only Seria was different.

Right now, although he did not know how much about his treatment* within Bertram kingdom, if it was him at the moment, he could hide himself as much as he wanted. [TL*: Rio was charged with false charges and became a fugitive at the end of Chapter 1]

It might be better if he sneaks into Bertram kingdom and meets Seria.

「Although we are not connected with blood, there was a child who regarded me as his own brother. I'll meet the boy. After that, since there was a benefactor on the other side [the Strahl region], I had to show my face to them as well. 」

「Hee, there is such a child, yes」

Yuba spoke with great interest hearing the whereabouts of the people close to Rio.

Ruri brought herself closer because she was also interested.

"Yes nih . My sister is now 12 years old. My helper should be around 20 years old 」

「Fumu, they are young, I understand」

He felt confident, because to Rio such people were good people.

Even thought he could not confirm that by meeting them directly.

「Are you going back to this village someday?」

"Religion . Although I do not know when it will happen, I will definitely return to this village 」

Although it was not something he could use often, he could shorten the movement time with the transfer crystal; rio could come, like an outing, to the Yagumo region of the Strahl region.

He was tied up in various ways, so he thought that he wanted to return to that place after completing his task.

"I saw . You can come back anytime. I mean, you are already recognized as one of the villagers of 」

"……Yes . Thank you very much"

Rio said his thanks with a timid face, to Yuba who was smiling gently at him.

Yuba smiled thinly and lonelyly to Rio, who was smiling like that.

「And then, the matter about Shin's actions is now. I vaguely understand the reason why Shin took such an action against you but .... 」.

「Aa, Un. I had a feeling that I was also somehow related to that 」[TL; eerie Intuition, Ruri]

Smiling wryly, Ruri agreed with Yuba's statement, while sending a glance at Rio.

Rio tilted his head because he did not understand the meaning behind their actions. [TL: F# ck you, now you're acting like the protagonist donkan]

They smiled wryly looking at Rio's reaction.

「Let me tell them indirectly next time. The two of you, will you behave as usual and not expose too deeply about this? 」

「U ~ hn. As for me, I occasionally chatted with Sayo but ………. . I'll hand it over first, Obaa-chan 」

Since she knew that it was not a good idea for many people to hear the reason at the same time, Ruri realized that, even though she showed a small reluctant expression.

「Ya, understand」

Although still a little confused, Rio gave his approval, and then they immediately parted ways.
