Seirei Gensouki's
Chapter 63: Towards Daily Life
「You asked about something a little exorbitant. Do you believe in previous lives or reincarnated people？ 」
Rio asked in a calm tone.
It's an unbelievable story if it's a normal case.
Will Seria believed it.
Despite feeling somewhat anxious, she hid it, Rio looked at Seria with a gentle smile.
Seria also stared back at Rio's face with widened eyes.
「……. I believe"
A moment of silence, but, he replied.
There was no skepticism in his words.
Rio thought so.
After being amazed by Seria who answered that it did not even need an instant.
"Thank you very much"
Rio said thanks while smiling at her.
「When we met for the first time, Sensei felt uncomfortable feeling at me wasn't he?」
"……the.Flat . I don't think you're normally calm for a 7-year-old. Also strangely knowledgeable for an orphan, I feel there are many places that do not fit 」
Maybe because she noticed something, Seria replied while looking like she was thinking about something.
「It's reasonable. Because there is a memory of my previous life in me 」
「Previous life memory ....」
Seria muttered in a low voice.
「It will be a rather long story but, please listen to it」
Rio.
The thing about her that was originally a student living in a place called earth.
About the thing that one day he would suddenly live in the slums of Bertram kingdom.
About when she happened to meet Christina and Flora at the abduction site by chance after regaining memories of her previous life.
About when he was arrested as a suspect in the royal castle right after that.
About him being set to enter the royal institution when he realized it.
「Following after that, I also got acquainted with Seria-sensei」
Rio shrugged his shoulders slightly while saying that.
「……. . When you meet me is the moment when you just recall the memories of your previous life. How oldyou？ 」
Although Seria heard in silence, showing the pose of her hand on her lips, she asked.
"I'm 20 years old"
「20 Years you said, it's not much different from my current age not」
Seria looked at him dumbfoundedly.
「Yeah, I will be older than sensei if you add age from my previous life」
「Older ……. That means ……. . 」
Seria looked at Rio with serious eyes while muttering those words.
Looking at him from top to bottom, then from bottom to top, finally his gaze was fixed on his face.
And then, when she saw Rio's face, she looked at him with a confused face.
「……！」
Seria's face was dyed red and then shifted her gaze away from Rio.
"Is something wrong ?"
Rio asked curiously.
「U-Uuhn！ It'sit's nothing! 」
Seria replied with a slightly trembling face.
Seria's heart was beating fast, she felt her entire body become hot.
"I s …… . . So . Are you really okay? 」
Rio looked at Seria's somewhat suspicious face.
「Y-Yes！ I'm doing fine！ Hey, please continue your story quickly because I feel bad for making Miharu wait」
Seria said that with a confused face while looking at Miharu and co who were watching silently while sitting on the sofa in front of them.
Rio also saw Miharu.
Although Masato who could understand their words showed a curious face, Miharu and Aki showed a slight awkward smile.
「Uhm, understand」
Rio agreed with a slight hanging of his face.
Although she felt that Seria's reaction was a bit strange, she felt bad to ask more because the person himself said that he was fine.
There seems to be no problem with his health.
Seeing Seria who was clearing her throat, Rio decided to return to his story.
「Even though I can't say anything other than that. By the way, now you know the reason why I can speak their language correctly？ 」
「Yes. Because all the evidence is direct at this point to the point of conversation with children in a language that does not exist in this world. What's more, even without it ... A-Ehhm ……. 」
Although Seria spoke with a serious expression, her words were suddenly disjointed in the middle of her sentence.
"Even?"
Thinking it was strange, Rio urged her to continue.
「Ah, Ehm, S-Because I said I would believe in Rio no matter what you say, I ……. . J-Just kidding 」
Seria answered with a red face.
After that, Rio's eyes opened wide.
「Uhm .... Thank you」.
He awkwardly thanked me.
A few seconds of awkward silence occurred between them.
「Uhm, please don't tell anyone about this story. Because I might be considered as an abnormal person for 」 people
And then, breaking the silence earlier was Rio.
Section 2
「U-Uhm I won't tell anyone about this story. Alright"
Seria also replied with a slight confusion as if trying to match Rio's story.
「Alright, please」
"Yes nih . Nevertheless, there is no need to say words of discomfort correctly 」
After saying that, Seria looked at Miharu.
Miharu replied with a slightly awkward smile on their faces.
Although there is a saying "The eye cannot trust the mind of a real person", there is a limit to exchanging plots just by facing each other.
Right now, it seems that they should take the maximum priority for Miharu to learn the local language.
"Yes nih . I plan to teach local languages to them as soon as possible 」
"I saw . I also think we should do that. Please just say if you need my help, I'll help you if possible 」
「Thank you for me. I'd be happy if you take an active approach by speaking to them as much as possible even if they can't speak in local language 」
「OK, that's what I'll do」
Although they can communicate in Japanese with Rio, they cannot speak in the language of this world if they are talking to Seria.
Seria's words were beautiful, that's why she would be a good friend.
「Then, since there is something I want to teach you a little, please chat with them」
"Good"
After nodding at Seria who was nodding at him, Rio looked towards Miharu.
「Sorry friends. It will be a rather heavy talk 」
He apologized because he wanted to talk to Seria, just the two of them.
「Nothing, the problem you want to talk about is something important right?」
Miharu replied while smiling kindly.
"Yes nih . He asked me why I could speak in your language. So I briefly explained about my previous life 」
Then, Rio explained the situation.
「Uhm, is it okay to tell us about that？ Uhm, you don't need to explain about it if it's not for us, right .. Sorry Sorry.
Miharu apologized with a confused face.
Rio, except for Amakawa Haruto's matter, Miharu knew about Rio's reincarnation.
And then, he said that he wanted to hear it someday.
Even Miharu could not imagine what kind of story it was.
But, she knew that it was not a light story, that story was very important to Rio.
Their existence became an impetus for him to tell others about the story.
Since she felt guilty for that, Miharu apologized to Rio.
「No problem, because it is a story that I have to tell Seria-sensei one day. I think it's okay to start knowing. It probably has nothing to do with Miharu-san. That's why please don't mind it 」
To not cause any anxiety to Miharu, Rio spoke to her in a light tone.
"Yes……"
Even so, Miharu still hung her head as if still feeling responsible for it.
Since Aki and Masato had never heard of Rio's life before, they didn't know much about that fact.
「What do you mean by previous life?」
Masato asked in a slightly carefree voice.
Aki who was sitting beside him muttered 「Uwaa, now she asked him」 in a low voice.
Seeing that reaction, Rio noticed that the two had a similar misunderstanding to Miharu.
That's right, they misunderstood that Rio was a summoned person like them and not a reincarnated person.
「I've said it before, right？ I have lived in Japan. I am a Japanese 」
Rio quickly explained that fact to correct their misunderstanding.
「A ............. Japan?」
Aki asked with a slightly confused face.
Rio did not look like a pure Japanese according to the view of an outsider.
His face looks like half with mixed blood between westerners and orientals, his hair is painted silver due to magic tools.
In addition, due to the long time gap, his Japanese pronunciation had also somehow become awkward.
"That's right"
Rio nodded while smiling awkwardly.
He looked at Aki face as if looking somewhere a bit far away.
「……」
Aki also quietly stared back at Rio's face.
「Is that the reason you can speak Japanese. I used to think that you were like a stranger 」
Masato who was sitting next to Aki showed an enlightened expression.
「Of course this face does not look like Japanese. But, my real hair color is black you know 」
Rio raised his necklace while saying that.
His hair color instantly changed from silver to black.
「OOH！ Is this also some kind of magic?」
Masato's eyes were sparkling.
「Yes, this is called a magic tool. There's magic built into this necklace. The magic I put in this is the one that changes the hair color 」
「Dia ~, it's really convenient. Miracle is 」
Masato groaned as if admiring him.
「Ya, you can give many colors if you have adequate knowledge for it」
「Please teach me to use magic also someday!」
「But, you have to learn the language of this world first」
「Aa, Un. That's still a long way to go yes ... 」.
Masato showed a bitter expression.
Looking at his condition, it seemed like he was not eager to learn.
Section 3
（Is it really okay？ The magic equation is quite complicated though
Rio answered Masato with a dry smile while thinking about that.
「By the way, there is something I want to tell everyone」
Rio spoke to the three of them while sending out a line of sight that contained some meaning.
After confirming that Miharu's attention was on her.
「That's just a possibility but, I might know what everyone's acquaintances are doing now」
After saying that.
「S-real?」
Aki raised a surprised voice.
「But, I don't believe in it」
「What is oniichan doing now?」
「Maybe they ..... are hero」
Rio frankly pointed at that answer.
「...... Eh?」
Aki could not believe what she heard.
Miharu and Masato also looked dumbfounded along with Aki beside them.
"A hero . H- ……. That's how they called oniichan and Satsuki-san. Maybe they were summoned to this world as heroes 」
"Hero……"
Aki muttered in a dumbfounded voice.
「Are they heroes like the one who became the protagonist in the game？ Seriously? 」
Masato asked with a rather narrow smile.
The story suddenly turned in an unbelievable direction.
Maybe their reaction is natural.
"Maybe . I think it's the best possibility for now 」
「Well, if that's aniki I mean」
Masato groaned as if to say that he somehow predicted it.
「Then, is the so-called hero strong?」
「Even I don't know the full details but, according to legend, it seems like they are quite strong. At least stronger than your average knight in this region. Nevertheless, perhaps because they use some kind of magic tool, they can speak in the local population 」
「Eeh, how nice！ They don't have to learn then!」
Masato let out an envious voice.
"Right"
Rio replied while smiling wryly.
「Dan, there are six of them. I know the names of the two of them by chance but, that is not your acquaintance. And I don't know where the rest four 」
That Rio proverb with a troubled face while looking towards Aki.
Although when it comes to heroes, there is a high probability that they belong to a country somewhere, even that is not absolute.
There was also the possibility that they were wandering around the place without anyone else where they were summoned.
In that case, where they cannot be found easily.
（But, they will always feel anxious because this is because of the safety of their family ………. ）
Rio also understood the feeling of anxiety if they did not know the safety of their important family.
Rio knew that feeling because Amakawa Haruto had always lived like that.
That was why, for Rio, he wanted to make Aki meet their acquaintance as quickly as possible.
（But, what will Mii-chan do when they unite again？ Will we ............ Separate?）
Imagining the worst possible future, Rio was attacked by a feeling as if he had suddenly lost his footing.
She was happy to meet Miharu, until she forgot about that possibility.
In the first place, he wondered what kind of existence the young man Takahisa called to Miharu.
Could it be his lover.
Or maybe not .
But, Rio intuitively understood.
The man was the one he saw next to Miharu during the High School enrollment.
(I saw .....).
Rio showed a self-mocking smile on his face.
Seria who glanced at him from the side noticed the small change.
But, Seria fell silent without saying anything.
Although Rio did not know what to say, that smile instantly disappeared when he saw Miharu.
「For now, I will also look for more information but, I want you to wait patiently for a while. Because of any country, they will announce the fact that they are protecting heroes sooner or later, basically if that happens we have no choice but to wait for 」
The state will make a big announcement for the sake of authority if they protect the hero.
Although the timing depended on each country, he doubted they would keep that fact in the dark.
If he waited patiently, a rumor or two about the hero might come to him.
He would not miss it if he continued to hear the rumors when he went to the city.
「Don't worry because we also ask for things that don't make sense to you. Please"
Aki asked as she lowered her head to Rio.
「Understood」
Rio answered her while smiling little.
「Well, maybe we should give up or not have to make a story in such a place *. Although the five of us will stay together in this house for a while, greetings 」
"Yes nih . Please take care of us too！ 」
Miharu too bowed to him.
Seria who received it also bowed while smiling at them.
After finishing the first stage, Rio looked back at Seria.
「Talk has ended. I think I should guide sensei to your own room 」
「Room, I will get a private room?」
「Yes, because there are still unused rooms, in this way」
"Thank you very much . Rio 」's
Section 4
Seria smiled happily at "fufufu".
「Miharu-san, sorry for bothering you, but, since I need to prepare Seria-sensei's room, can I hand over the preparations for dinner for you?」
「Yes, leave it to me!」
Miharu answered with clasped hands as if enthusiastic about it.
「Please」
After saying that, Rio's line of sight returned to Seria.
「Alright, Seria-sensei Follow me as I'll guide you to your room」
「Yes. Please 」
Leaving the living room as it is, Rio walked towards the unused room while guiding Seria.
「Please use this room」
「Waah, this is quite extensive not. Is it really okay for me to use a very nice room for myself?
"Yes nih . Basically similar room arrangement 」
「Similar to a space-time warehouse？ This is a completely sloppy article huh. I mean you can also bring such a beautiful home 」
Seria looked at the interior of the room with interest.
Although he did not mind the comfortable room, he could not hide his astonishment at the same time.
「If there is a necessary article with the goods removed from the laboratory I will remove it, how?」
Rio's asking while smiling wryly at that Seria.
「Uhn, it looks like we need to skillfully arrange everything. By the way, can you take them out one by one？ 」
「Understood. Since I will take them out one by one, please say up front if there is anything you want. Because I will help you with 」 settings
"Thank you very much . Alright then–"
After that, on one occasion he pulled out the indoor furniture then took out the items that were in Seria's laboratory.
First is to decide the arrangement of the furniture, after arranging the place he took out small items and magic tools.
「What is the function of this magic tool?」
Rio asked while holding a magic tool in the form of dark crystal.
「Ah, the ...... Benar」.
Seria replied with a face pondering something.
「Rio, do you want to try to measure how big your magical power」 is
So he said with a hint of pride.
「My magical power?」
「Yes, I managed to develop a magic tool that can measure the approximate amount of magical power. Please touch the crystal surface for a while 」
"Yes……"
After being attracted by the total amount of his magical power, Rio placed his hand on the crystal surface.
""Measuring""
Seria chanted a spell to activate the magic tool.
Then the crystal started throwing light.
「Although only a rough amount, it can measure the amount of magical power according to the intensity and color of the crystal」 light
Seria explained the ability of the magical power she created herself.
The color of the crystal will be divided into 12 stages according to the depth of purple, blue, red, yellow, white, and black according to the amount of magical power. [TL: Means each color is divided into two classes. BTW class is, Highest-> Lowest, honestly stage numbering is a bit vague]
The limit of the previous model was slightly around the overall number of 200 imperial mages but, the result could not be measured when the type used to measure heroes. So I made a measurement up to double that of a little over 400 imperial magicians but, I didn't compile it for a good measurement 」
Considering the large amount of magic power, it was no match for the detailed numerical value.
But, since there was currently one of the tools in Seria's hands, she couldn't help but want to use it to measure Rio's magic power.
「Well, be patient because it can't help. How could it be something as absurd as the total number of 400 imperial witches ………. EH？ 」
Even as Seria spoke, the color of the crystal changed rapidly starting from pale black, pitch black, pale white, pitch white, pale yellow, pitch yellow, deep yellow, pale red.
Seria stared dumbfoundedly at that rapid change.
"No way …… . Dark red is about 180 imperial witches. It's still going up ………. Dark blue, 280 imperial witches ... 」.
Immediately the color changed to purple and then returned to the initial stage of black after reaching the measurement limit.
Although Seria was stunned, she moved towards Rio with a curious face.
「WITHOUT WAAAAAAY AY HOW IT CANNOT BE SUSPENDED!」 [TL: She's sniffling]
He orz-ed while shouting like that.
「Ahaha. That ……. . The product failed, right? 」
Rio asked with a wry smile.
「Do you not understand！ I am someone who tinkers with the numerical value of the magic equation！ There's no way it FAILED!」
Raising her head firmly, Seria gave a strong rejection to Rio's question.
「Yes, it seems like my magical power is great for the human tribe ....」.
It was shown in the Seirei no Tami village that the overall amount of magic power was large for the human tribe.
Although he never expected even in his dreams that the overall amount of his magical power was over 400 imperial mages.
「There's a limit, you know, LIMIT！ I mean, my magical powers are big enough for humans. Even so, pale white was the limit with this device! That means that my moat is about 20 imperial witches! 」
Not only did he try to air as a prominent family of magicians, the amount of magical power Seria was prominent even in Bertram kingdom.
But, the overall amount of magic power of Rio was more than 20 times that.
「Y-Alright, let's stop this discussion for now and get back to work. As for the amount of my magical power, let's check it out later 」
He calmed Seria who approached him with a face as if she wanted to knock him down.
It seemed that the amount of magic power Rio could not measure with the current device in this place.
It was not something that could be understood even if they discussed it.
Section 5
「Muu. Well, I have no choice but to admit it because reality is the truth but ……. . 」
Seria looked at Rio face attentively while saying that.
「Then, where should we put this table」
Rio started to work as if trying to escape from his line of sight.
Even after that, Rio continued to stare at Seria for a full ten seconds.
After sighing unintentionally, Seria also moved to work.
Their work reached a pause in an hour, during which it seemed Seria had also forgotten about the previous thing.
They faced each other while sitting on the chairs attached to the room.
「Thank you very much, Rio. I unilaterally bring such a matter to you but, as long as I can do it. Just say if you need something 」
Seria said that with a gentle smile.
「Nothing, please enjoy your life fully in this house, sensei. Although I might be moving somewhere, I will make sure to return 」 often
「I understand .... Understood. Please take care of me after this 」
「Yes, greetings too. To go outside, I have to make a magic tool to change hair color immediately 」
「Ya, currently Rio is using a magic tool, right. Certainly, the impression with different hair colors is very significant. Please do that 」
"Yes nih . After we go, let's go to the city to buy your daily goods 」
"Yes, that"
And then, they discussed.
「Haruto-san. Dinner is ready 」
Miharu called out to them while her head emerged from the door of the room that was slightly open.
「Sorry, Miharu-san」
Rio replied while smiling happily.
Seria by his side nonchalantly peeked at his expression.
「Seria-sensei, looks like dinner is done, let's go」
「AH, U ~ hn. It will be a party then 」
Summoned by Rio, Seria replied with a sudden smile.
At that moment, Miharu and Seria's line of sight overlapped.
Miharu's letting out a sweet smile.
Seria also smiled back at him.
Seeing their exchange, Rio thought that they might be communicating about something. [Se: He's huge, in every place. Mi: She is so cute]
After a little bit.
「Then, let's enjoy the party, Miharu-san. Let's go, Seria-sensei 」
Rio smiled lightly and urged them to go to the dining room.
