Seirei Gensouki's
Chapter 105: Third Person Perspective

In the end, the female camp spent more time bathing than expected, so they had to return to the capital right after Rio and Masato finished bathing.

Rio first secretly sent Miharu and the others back to the inn, and then he brought Satsuki back to the royal palace.

「Sorry for staying too long. There are many things I want to talk about and it is very convenient ....... 」...

Satsuki's telling while smiling awkwardly.

「No, it's okay. Although it is impossible to meet anytime, you can still talk about it when we meet again 」

Rio shook his head lightly in denial as he answered that.

They get their reunion after a long time in an unknown world.

There might be a lot of things he wants to talk about.

「Yes. You're right"

Satsuki nodded while laughing softly.

And then, a few seconds of silence followed.

Satsuki had an atmosphere around her as if she wanted to say something long ago but, it seemed like she wanted them to hear about this matter.

But while Rio speculated about that in his head,

「………………. . I already told Miharu-chan and the others about what they will face after this 」

After taking a short breath, Satsuki muttered that in a low voice.

Rio narrowed his eyes doubtfully then,

"Is that so"

He threw out a cold and blunt answer.

「You won't ask？ About what kind of talk is it?」

Satsuki asked timidly.

「Because I have a rough guess」

Rio replied while smiling wryly.

Somehow, the face of Rio reflected in Satsuki's eyes seemed rather lonely.

"I saw………… . . 」

Satsuki muttering.

Silence fell between the two of them.

「My apology for bothering you. I felt that I really had to deliver but, I couldn't bear to say it and ruined the mood of 」

Rio said that while suppressing his voice in a low tone.

There were no exact words he could say at a time like this that appeared in his mind.

Therefore, he could do nothing but forgive his own feelings.

Satsuki's looking at the slightly dissatisfied expression in Rio's words.

Section 2

「I think it can't help. It's only natural that you can't ask something like 『Are you going to leave this place in the end』 from the people who live with you. Especially when they are the most important person to you, right

Satsuki replied clearly while shaking her head.

「…………. . You could say it's true. However, that will not change the fact that you came to talk about escape 」

Rio said that to her while showing a smile full of scorn.

「You have a strong sense of responsibility, yes」

「………………. . We are just cute girls that you know 」[Satsuki]

Those are the words they exchanged.

Satsuki smiled but only for a moment.

「I'm really grateful to you. Even so, I can see my situation starting to change. I want to do something more about it 」[Satsuki]

He said so.

「…………」

After a moment of hatred, Rio swallowed the words of objection that were about to come out.

Because there was no stopping once these words started coming out.

Therefore, without either side giving up, both of them could only wait for something to happen.

「The most important thing is what you will do after this. This situation can't go on forever, or can it？ 」

Perhaps because they were thinking the same thing, Satsuki opened her mouth.

Rio changed his mind while nodding slowly.

「Of course. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't take the time to think about it. Because they will lose the main point if they rush the answer. Moreover, when they left, they would cause a huge blow to the people who were left behind 」

Only time will tell them what to do.

In that case, being impatient banned―― If it is a question that will take time to get an answer, they should be calm before giving an answer that they feel is right.

Because if they carelessly advanced forward, the ones left behind would have no obligation to follow them.

That's what Rio thought.

"You are right . I also want to be together with Miharu-chan and the others, so I think it is better for them to give an answer together 」

「About that you got my」 support

Rio gently called out to her.

"……………… "

Satsuki looked down as she thanked him in a low voice.

「But you know. Miharu-chan and the others told me that they feel like they are bothering you. That's why I want to talk to you, just the two of us, alone 」

「Alone with me?」

Section 3

「Yes. I mean, we can't talk much during a night party because of time restrictions, although I can feel there is a need to do so but cannot force myself to say anything after we sneak away from the castle to the place where Miharu and the others, right？ 」[ED: Yes, this is all one sentence ..]

Satsuki replied with a cute smile.

Rio's eyes wandered around as if musing for a moment before,

"Religion . Because it seems like Satsuki-san was completely stunned after flying in the air 」

He agreed with her while feeling very strange.

「S-Shuttle. Anyone would be happy when they could fly like that for the first time. I've been quiet ever since, haven't I?

Satsuki turned her face with flushed cheeks.

A while later, she glanced at Rio and,

「Hey, what kind of person are you?」

He muttered in a low voice.

「............ What kind of person am I, ya」

For a moment, Rio showed a serious expression on his face.

But, it returned to her gentle expression immediately and then,

「That, again, is a very philosophical issue, not」

Return to Satsuki.

"You are right . Even so, I can't stop thinking about it, you know？ That's because I don't know anything about you, as if we were just acquaintances of 」

Satsuki's answering calmly.

"Now you can't fool me. ”

He has that kind of enthusiasm.

"Is that so?"

"Religion . At first I thought that you were the cooperative worker of a child named Liselotte. The truth is, I think you have that kind of relationship with him, that's why I'm a little worried about him. But, it seems like you are somehow working independently. There's no way I could see you working as a spy for another country *. That's why, deep down, I can't fully understand your whereabouts 」[*ED: Very loose translation]

Rio narrowed his eyes lightly when he heard her say that to him.

Although he was a little interested in what he thought about Liselotte, but since it would deviate from the current topic, he deliberately left the matter in the corner of his mind.

「Well, it's because I'm nothing more than a business partner to him, and through that accept the invitation as a form of goodwill」

「When it comes down to it, is your relationship with Liselotte at the evening party like you said?」

"Yes, that"

Rio nodded calmly.

"I saw . Even so, that's not what I want to know 」

「Is this about whether I am the type of person who will hurt Miharu-san or the others?」

Section 4

When Rio asked that, Satsuki calmly shook her head in denial.

"You are wrong . I've been observing you and so far I don't think that you're the type of person who will hurt them 」

「It …………………. . I'm honored by your praise 」

Rio said thanks to her with a slightly loose cheek.

「But that's not what confused you. So, what does Satsuki-san want to know about me？ 」

「There is not much time until we reach the castle, and, well, because I hate to ask in a round about how I'm going straight to the point, you can speak in Japanese, right?」 [ED: You can ask her what, and this is what you choose?]

Rio stared in astonishment as he asked that.

But, it might be because he suddenly though he understood the reason for it,

「Ya, you heard it from Miharu-san?」

He said that as the most likely reason that he would know.

Rio did not seem to be too bothered with the matter that Miharu or the others revealed his secret.

On the contrary, if he tried to hide the information it would feel unnatural and would only make him more curious about him since Satsuki already knew Rio to some extent.

"You are wrong . Miharu-chan says that she knows nothing about you 」

"Then how? "

「That's because, after hearing the story about when Miharu-chan and the others had just arrived in this world, I thought it was weird」

「What's weird about that, I wonder?」

「Miharu-chan and the others said that they almost became slaves because they were unable to communicate. Here and there they are saved by you, and you teach them the language of this world 」

"I saw . And then, you come to that conclusion, yes 」

Rio nodded while saying that as if convinced by her.

It was not strange he asked who was given so much information.

「Yes, not even 3 months have passed since Miharu-chan and the others came to this world. So they should have lecturers and teaching materials because it is impossible to learn the language, that they have no knowledge about, to a level where they have no problem using it for everyday conversation, he said, in such a short period of time as no magic is used 」[ED: ... because it is impossible to learn a language to such a level in such a short period of time. Good job translating all that, Cnine]

「If we start by trying to find mutual understanding through body language, it will certainly take more time to reach the point where we can use it for daily conversation, I understand」

Rio agreed while smiling wryly.

"Yes nih . But since Miharu-chan and the others are still learning about the language, this means that there is no way for them to learn magic. The next thing that comes is what language the two of you can use to communicate but, Miharu-chan and the others have restrictions in the language they can use. In conclusion, the language that I think has the highest possibility is Japanese. In addition, the position that gives the impression of Japanese style is also the right clue 」.

Satsuki stated the reason.

"That's right"

Rio justified Satsuki's conjecture without even trying to keep it a secret.

Section 5

「Uhm, you're not trying to hide it？ I don't understand why not but, I think you made a request to Miharu-chan and the others not to carelessly spread information about you …………. 」

Satsuki asked as if surprised by her attitude.

「Yes, that I did tell them but, you already know that, right?」

Rio nodded as he sent an amazed expression at Satsuki.

「Although it doesn't seem like this, We have long been acquainted with Miharu-chan. You know, we were both members of the OSIS staff at our high school. So for some reason I know the boy is trying to hide something about you 」

"I saw . As expected of the former student council president, true 」

Rio praised her jokingly.

「. Moreover, spreading such rumors was the most dangerous thing. There is something I want to ask more than others 」

Satsuki said that as if feeling embarrassed.

「Although I can roughly guess what you will ask, I don't mind answering it if you promise to hide the information you learned about me recently, can you?」

「Naturally. That's what I'm going to do from the beginning. Instead, I don't mind doing that as a help 」

Perhaps because she was comfortable with what Rio was asking for, Satsuki nodded excitedly.

Instead, act as far as saying it's okay to do that as a favor.

"Killiness?"

「Yes. But, because it does not mean that, as I am now, I can immediately lend you something, he said, I'll give you help whenever possible if the time comes where you need my help in the future 」

「You're exaggerating, right. No need to go this far for me........ 」........

Rio responded as if feeling annoyed by her.

「You can't be like that. You protect Miharu-chan and the others, you helped me meet them, moreover.........

Although Satsuki denied it with a slightly angry tone, she suddenly stopped unnaturally in the middle of her sentence.

"Even?"

Rio asked because he was curious.

「. My point is that I owe you a lot

Satsuki said that with flushed cheeks and then, averted her gaze from Rio.

Even if he asked more questions, he did not expect to get answers.

Besides, he couldn't be that strong and asked her that.

"I saw . If you say so, I will keep what you say in my mind 」

When she said that, Rio smiled as if it was a little funny.

It was because everything went well for the sake of Miharu and the others.

So he didn't have to ask for it as a favor.

But, if Satsuki said that she wanted to give her gratitude, then she would obediently accept it.

Section 6

「Then, please do. Because keeping debt is not in my character 」

Satsuki shrugged her shoulders as she said that.

「Then, we will return to the main topic. You want to ask if I know the method to return to earth, right？ 」

So, Rio frankly asked his main question.

「…………. Well, you've fully seen me, haven't you?

Satsuki nodded while giggling.

「In this case, I will say what I know because there is no need to keep it secret. It was the same for me, I do not know any method to return to earth 」

「So, so you really don't know ……………. . Huh"

Satsuki's a little depressed.

Firstly, if Rio knew how to return to earth, he would have already sent Miharu and the others back to earth long ago.

Although if it only limited them from being able to return immediately, such news should have already spread a long time ago. [TB *: 。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

That's why he didn't expect anything from the start but—

However, deep down he hoped that he might be able to get a clue as to how to return to earth.

「In addition, I will answer as much as possible about anything you want to know. But, I don't think it will be a clue on how to return to earth 」[ED:" The hint "is in katakana so there really is no other way to translate this. Think of it as if he wanted a foresight] [PF: Can "hints" work?]

Rio gave a warning earlier for him to lower his expectations.

「First, I want to know, on what date, including what year, you came to this world but ……………. Say, you're a quarter or a half Japanese .......... Right？ 」

Satsuki asked while peeking at Rio face.

Judging from his appearance, Rio's appearance was very close to Japanese.

Although he currently changed his hair color to silver, his appearance would be closer to Japanese hair if his hair was black.

Although he looks like a real Japanese, it may be impossible.

That was why he came to the conclusion that he was at least a quarter or half Japanese.

That's what he thinks but, uh,

「It looks like you made a big mistake at this point. I am a human born and raised in this world 」

Rio replied while shaking his head in denial.

「Eh ……………. . Wh-what's that？ 」[ED: Yes, he even told you it was like 7 chapters ago]

Satsuki's tilting her head while showing a confused expression.

Why you can speak Japanese.

Section 7

"Yes nih . I was born in the Bertram kingdom. I remember saying that in my self-introduction with Satsuki-san, didn't I？ 」

「…………. Yes yes . Yes, you certainly say it?

Satsuki nodded lightly.

"This is true . Because I certainly have a memory that I was born and raised in this world 」[Rio]

Although she was somehow unable to understand the meaning behind her words, Satsuki decided to listen to Rio's story for now.

「But I have another person's memory in me. 「It was a memory of a man who used to live in a country called Japan」 [Rio]

Rio said that with an indifferent tone.

「EH? Used to live in Japan …………. . Memories？ 」

Satsuki's train of thought came to a halt due to Rio's explanation that was far beyond her imagination.

Although he tried to chew on the meaning of his words one by one from beginning to end, he could do nothing but give a sloppy answer.

「In short, are you talking about ................... reborn？ 」

So, Satsuki digested Rio's explanation into one thought.

Although he did not seem to be confident enough in his guess.

"Yes nih . Exactly as you said 」

Rio suddenly nodded in agreement while at the same time shrugging his shoulders.

「So, you are currently a human being in this world but, before that ………. . You were Japanese？ 」

"That's right . That's why I can speak in Japanese and can teach this world language to Miharu and the others 」[ED: English is funny, it's funny, since both are from a country and speak the same language, "Japanese "in this case]

「So so …………. . So that's the problem …………. 」

Satsuki's looking into the void with a dumbfounded expression for a few seconds while muttering those words.

"Can I trust you?"

"You………… . I had no choice but to trust me, right. First of all I personally experienced an impossible experience like this coming to another world thing. If you use logic, it is usually ………. I would think that the dead will not be reborn 」[Satsuki]

Satsuki replied with a troubled tone.

"Religion . I mean, right from the start, I've been hovering in cloud nine, because of this strange phenomenon that makes it possible to understand the language of this world, if in this world, if in this world, you have no choice but to believe what has happened 」[Satsuki]

Satsuki grumbled about something as if trying to convince herself while pressing her head with one hand.

His common sense was there as if to interfere with his understanding, but, it seemed that he could make himself understand it.

「Well, that's a very absurd story, isn't it. Normally, it is natural for anyone not to understand the situation and say 『Eh, so ya』 」

Rio said that while smiling wryly.

"I'm sorry . I'm shaken by the story you see. Somehow too many unreasonable events have occurred since I came to this world, despite understanding the reason there are too many difficulties 」
