Seirei Gensouki's
Chapter 66: You Who I Meet In This World?
Several days passed since Celia came to the stone house, in those few days she and Rio taught Miharu and her friends about the language of this world.
Yesterday, it had been almost a month since he started teaching the three basics, then he did Spartan training with Celia's cooperation.
At the same time he also helped Celia research.
Like that, Rio's daily life became extremely busy.
Until the early hours of that day
「N ....」.
The refreshing morning sunlight entered the room through the small cracks of the stone house windows, Rio opened his eyes involuntarily.
The color of the light was reflected in his eyes from the hole in the ceiling.
Since Rio's goal is to sleep well, towards that goal he built this stone house, last night he also slept soundly.
On top of the wide bed specially made by Dominique, Rio slowly moved his hand to flip the blanket and blanket over.
And then, at that moment.
His hand touched a soft object.
It's not a blanket or a bed cover.
Neither does bed.
It's more elastic.
The object in his palm was rather cold.
Moving her hands a little, it somehow felt good in her hands.
(What is this?)
Rio moved his hand awkwardly, trying to discern the true nature of the thing.
Lalu– .
「N ....」.
A rustling sound along with the charming little voice of a woman sounded.
「Su ~ ..... 、 su ~ .....」 [TL: SFX from sound sleep]
It continued, a quiet sleeping voice from his side, somewhat confused, Rio glanced to his side.
And there, a girl slept peacefully beside him. (ED: WHO?!) [TL: His Lady]
Section 2
Somehow his age was similar to Rio's age.
Is her existence thin?, or is her transparent feeling strong?, due to her mysterious atmosphere and beauty.
Beautiful girl with long pink hair.
No, she is an earth-shattering beauty.
「N ....」.
The girl wriggled uneasily, tightly gripping Rio's dress.
Just like that, his face moved closer to Rio.
He could feel the girl's breath in his ears.
Rio's consciousness immediately awakened completely.
「…………」
He looked at the girl's face in astonishment from a close distance, exerting all the strength from her body once again.
He closed his eyes again.
（It must have been a dream ………. I'm still sleeping. Yes, no mistake about it）
That was how he tried to escape reality by doing some self-suggestions.
Because even if he was sound asleep, he should have immediately woken up when he felt an unknown person approaching him.
Maybe he became senile because of this little peace.
No, first of all Rio could not feel the reaction of outsiders trapped in the intruder detection magic surrounding the house.
But he failed to realize it, this was definitely not a dream.
He exerted more strength to close his eyes while thinking about it.
Opening his eyes slowly after a minute, timidly flipping the blanket with his hands hoping it to be empty.
And there, the impossible scene spread again in front of him ——-.
A woman with snow white skin, very balanced and smooth proportions, soft protrusions soft—.
In other words, it was a pretty girl in her birthday suit.
「EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?」
Rio screamed in horror.
The beautiful girl next to him gasped from her sleep.
This kind of experience was the first for him in his two lives.
Awakened by Rio's voice, the girl moved her body.
The movement was very erotic, Rio's face flushed red, then quickly averted his gaze.
Section 3
「N ....」.
The girl expressionlessly looked at Rio.
Rio's body was filled with cold sweat.
Why ?, how is it possible?, I slept with a beautiful girl in the nude? .
Shouting like that in his mind.
「Wha, what's up! Oh, haruto-san? 」
And then, a confused Miharu entered the room.
Although this was a soundproof room, the door was slightly open, so everyone living in this house could hear Rio's cry.
Thinking that it must be difficult for them to just accept her help, Miharu got up early to help her prepare breakfast.
Her appearance wearing an apron over her tunic was very fitting and very pleasant.
But, now was not the time to be mesmerized by Miharu's beautiful appearance.
Miharu had a flabbergasted expression, looking at Rio in her dress and the beautiful naked girl.
In his confusion, Rio slowly covered the naked body of the girl with a blanket.
「Ki, Kyaaa !!!!」
Now, Miharu's voice resounded inside the room.
That's natural.
The seemingly honest benefactor, took a woman without telling her and spent the night with her.
Although Rio was not that type of person, Miharu currently could not see that fact.
「T, no, you're wrong! Mi-cha ~, Miharu-san! This is–"
That's the worst.
Rio was trying to explain to him in confusion, but he couldn't say anything.
In a confused state, he almost called out his name the way he called out to him in their past.
Because the pink-haired beautiful girl hugged Rio tightly with a blank expression.
Cowering closer to Rio, Miharu looked at that scene with a wondering expression.
Seeing that sight, Miharu's face turned red.
「I, I'm sorry! To open the door violently！ 」
Lowering her head in confusion, Miharu closed the door.
Section 4
「You were wrong ....」
Rio's apologetic voice echoed in vain in the room.
Only Rio and the pink haired girl remained.
Rio lowered his head in a state of heartbreak.
「What happened, Rio? To Miharu yelling like that 」
And then, this time it was Celia's turn to enter the room with a still sleepy expression.
Looks like he stayed up all night until dawn.
Panicked Miharu tried to stop him from behind.
While frantically saying awkward words 「no, you can't」 with a desperate expression.
But, it seemed like he was already a step late.
The appearance of the two people perfectly entered Cecilia's field of view.
}
"Ha ha …… . 」
Rio's stiff laughter was in vain echoing in the room.
The beautiful girl, whose body was only covered by one thin blanket, cradled her body closer to Rio on the bed.
Her bare skin peeking out from the crevice of the blanket triggered Celia's wild delusions.
「Fu, fufu ……. 」
Although her face was red, Celia tidied it up with a smile on her face.
As a result, the two men mysteriously laughed in harmony.
However, each of their laughs had a different meaning.
「I'm sorry for interrupting, now you can continue to enjoy your time」
Celia closed the door while leaving those words.
Although she was anxious about what kind of atmosphere was going on between Miharu and Celia outside the door, now was not the time to worry about that.
「……. Uhm, who are you？ 」
Rio asked with a very narrow face.
Even though he really wanted to chase after Celia and Miharu, he couldn't just ignore this strange girl.
Although he did not know what he should ask because his head was still in chaos, he could not just throw a vague question.
「I'm the spirit who made the contract with Haruto, you know?」
The girl replied in a thin voice that sounded like a drop of transparent water while tilting her head.
Although it somehow felt inhumane, her voice was beautiful.
「Eh, Ah ……. Contract ... So, Spirit Contract. You …… . . 」
Rio head was instantly cold with those words.
Rio looked at the girl's face and then his expression instantly changed.
When he looked again, his strange face was well laid out.
It's like a first-rate art creation that won't come even if the artist is risking his entire career.
Her beauty was an illusion, as if she was temporary, she felt it was not strange even if she disappeared at any time.
Although she had never been enchanted by any girl except Miharu until now, if she did not have a strong will, she might spontaneously be charmed by her beauty.
Section 5
「May I ask why you just woke up at this time?」
[――Because the time has come. ]
At that moment, he somehow noticed when he heard the voice of the girl in front of him.
Rio looked at the girl with an amazed face.
But, he shook his head slowly—.
「I don't know」
Is answer.
Even though she looked expressionless as usual, her voice seemed lonely.
Then, he grabbed with his hand to snatch Rio's hand.
[–It's warm . ]
He noticed that he could hear such murmurs.
His face looked like it was relieved.
「Euhm, then may I hear your name?」
「I don't know my name」
The girl replied with dark red pupils that looked sad and shaken.
「You said that you don't even know your name. Then, whatever you might remember？ 」
Rio asked with a confused expression.
「I've always been on Haruto's side. That's why I want you to give me the name 」
(Always by my side)
Perhaps it was different from the usual case because he was Rio's contracted spirit.
Although the person himself was unaware of it, Rio felt that he accepted this girl with him as if it was natural, that was why he could not resist antipathy.
Moreover, he could not give a name out of affection.
But, it was an unacceptable answer from that question.
Well, Rio was also wrong for asking such an unclear question.
「Yhm, it's unusual, I want you to tell me why you made a contract with me and, what kind of spirit you」
Of course, although he wished that he could not get an answer even if he asked, it was his duty to become his contracted spirit before he knew, to explain it to him.
But, her troubled atmosphere told Rio that she really did not know anything.
Rio sighed a little as he looked at the girl.
Section 6
"Your name …… . . Come to think of it, how do you know my name？ 」
Now he noticed that the girl called him with "Haruto" from the start. [TL: Haruto here uses kanji, from the beginning, the girl always calls Rio with "Haruto" in kanji which could mean that she was originally contracted with Haruto instead of Rio]
(Why did he call me by that name?)
With such thoughts in mind, Rio asked why he knew the name "Haruto".
「Because Haruto is Haruto?」
「No, I don't mean it ..........」.
The girl replied as if it was natural.
Rio looked at the girl calmly.
He also looked at Rio silently.
Maybe because they were staring at each other for a while, the one who turned their first glance was Rio.
「Uhm, so you want a name, a name that comes from me?」
The girl nodded in response.
「Even if you say it ……. 」
Rio found himself at a loss for words.
No one would easily find a name if they suddenly asked for it.
Moreover, he felt like it was no simple matter.
But, he would definitely be in trouble if he did not come up with a name now.
「Can you let me think for a minute?」
Rio asked as if he was annoyed by her.
「Uhm」
The girl nodded.
"Well then … . . Uhm ....... . although I think it's obvious, why don't you wear any clothes？ 」
Rio asked with a flushed face as he could unintentionally imagine his naked body under the bed blanket even now.
"Fabric……"
After muttering that word, a dim light suddenly appeared in the room, then the girl suddenly turned over the blanket and blanket.
「Wa-WA!」
Rio became confused and shifted his gaze from the girl's eyes.
And like that, staring at the wall with ama –
Section 7
「Is this okay?」
Frightenedly Rio moved his neck when he heard those words coming from his side.
Reversing his gaze to the girl as if pushing something unexpected, reflected in his glance was a kimono-like outfit.
In that place was a spirit girl wearing a nice and neat black piece with a decoration on it.
「Eh, how .....?」
To be honest, she thought that she was really cute.
But, he felt an even stronger problem.
Before he noticed, the girl snatched Rio's hand -.
「I knit it with odo and mana」
He said in a somewhat emotionless voice.
「Eh, ah, so this is the light coming out of the futon just now is ....」
He is ready to give his consent.
But even Rio did not know how to do it.
(Making fabric with odo and mana.)
(Is that possible?)
Although he was confused by the question, now he had some major problems to be solved right away.
「First, Mi ……………. . I want to resolve the misunderstanding with Miharu-san but, can you help me to explain my situation？ 」
When he recalled the incident a while ago, his feelings instantly became heavy, so he muttered in a low voice.
Although she wanted to cooperate with him, while they might come together, it was mainly Rio's job to explain the situation.
"……okay"
Although there was a few seconds of pause, the girl slightly nodded when she realized that Rio was troubled.
(Looks like he's not a bad kid)
「Uhm, Although I have never heard why you know about my name in my previous life, please keep it confidential for now. Because I will tell them myself someday 」
Rio told the girl while sighing a little.
Why did the girl have knowledge of herself in her previous life.
It would be a problem for Rio if he carelessly told Miharu about that.
「Understood」
Section 8
The girl replied in an emotionless voice.
(Did he really understand?)
(Well he doesn't seem like a bad kid, so it's okay, maybe)
Thinking like that, he decided to trust the girl.
Or rather, he had no choice but to believe her.
「Alright, then we go」
Rio accompanied the girl walking to the lounge.
When they left the door, what reflected in her eyes was the awkward figure of Miharu cooking in the kitchen.
Celia enjoys the scent of black tea brewed by Miharu on the living room sofa with a friendly smile floating on her face.
Somehow, Aki and Masato had yet to wake up.
「Ehm, friends！ Good mornin! 」
Rio greeted them with a voice too stiff.
「Good morning, Rio」
Celia replied with the same friendly smile as usual.
Although he could not read what the woman was thinking, it was probably just his imagination that he was shivering a little.
「G-Good morning！ Uhm, I'm preparing breakfast, will you wait a minute?」
Following after Celia, Miharu answered Rio's greetings from the kitchen without even looking at her.
When he made a reddened face, he immediately understood.
「Uhm！ Will you hear my story for a while about It's about dia」
Rio said that awkwardly to Miharu as his line of sight moved towards the aloof girl.
After that, he said the same thing to Celia.
And then, Miharu and Celia's line of sight gathered towards the spirit girl. [TL scenario: -> Ce: Very big, beautiful, and cool ... Mi: Very beautiful and graceful…. . The girl: ………. . ] (ED: 'Is this a thing or made-up?)
Perhaps because they were inadvertently fascinated by her beauty, they looked at her with their eyes wide open.
Silence makes the atmosphere of silence—.
「Uhm, and what is it?」
「Ya, of course I want such information」
After a while, they returned and each replied in a different language.
Beside Miharu, Celia was staring at Rio with scornful eyes.
(Now unless I explain it clearly)
With such a decision, Rio opened his mouth and took a deep breath.
Section 9
「First, it's okay if I start the explanation from Miharu-san?」
He asked Celia's permission for an explanatory sequence.
「Yes, she's the first witness. Please explain CLEAR 」
Perhaps because she was stunned by the lifeless atmosphere of the girl, Celia replied with a sigh as if feeling tired with this event.
After thanking Celia, Rio faced Miharu.
「I believe that I have made a brief explanation of the existence of the so-called spirit before, he is one of them」
「She is ........... Spirit?」
Miharu's staring at that contracted spirit girl.
Although she exuded another world beauty, no matter how you looked at her, she could not be seen as a human.
Their line of sight intersected.
「Miharu ....」.
And then, the spirit girl called out Miharu's name.
「Ah, Yes. My name is Ayase Miharu. Uhm, and you? 」
「I don't have a name」
After muttering in a lonely voice, the girl looked enviously at Miharu who had a name.
「When you hear, he has no name. Somehow or other he is constantly sleeping inside my body but, even I do not understand what his existence is like 」
Although he himself does not have a clear understanding of his own situation, Rio frantically explained to Miharu.
「What I know is that he was somehow connected by a contract with me before I realized it. When she woke up this morning, she appeared by my side. This is my best explanation for the current situation …. Can you understand up to this point？ 」
After finishing her explanation, she stared timidly at Miharu's face.
「Uhm ……. . Somehow, I think I understand the general situation 」
After that Miharu chose her words carefully.
"You………… . Trust me?"
"Yes nih . Somehow I understood when I saw the child's appearance. Moreover, I know that Haruto-san is not the type of person who lies for no reason 」
Miharu answered timidly.
Section 10
「T-Thank you very much！ A-This is definitely not a feeling of guilt!」
Rio said that excitedly while turning his gaze towards the spirit girl.
Especially for the second part.
And then Miharu giggled.
「Ya, I know it」
Then he agreed.
Rio finally felt relieved.
He stood still for a few seconds and felt a power flowing from his body in relief.
「Uhm, however, she really is a very beautiful spirit, true」
Miharu spoke to Rio who was clearly exhausted while sending a fleeting glance towards the spirit girl.
And then, the girl silently tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
「Clearly then?」
Somehow the girl asked a question using Japanese.
Which reminded him that he spoke to Rio with the language of the Strahl region after first appearing.
But now he also speaks Japanese.
「Eh, you, understand our talk?」
Rio looked at her with a dumbfounded expression when he realized that fact.
「Yes, I can speak in all Haruto」-controlled languages
The girl replied with an indifferent expression.
「……」
Rio was really surprised.
He desperately wanted to ask the reason, but, somehow he knew that the answer was 「I don't know」.
「Roh it's amazingly true ....」
Somehow Miharu had a conception that it would not be strange in what she could do if she was a spirit, it was pure admiration.
Rio sighed a little.
Section 11
「Uhm, theen, I have to explain it to Celia-sensei next. Please wait a minute too ……. Miharu-san 」
After saying that.
The spirit girl nodded.
Miharu also nodded at him.
「Ah, Yes. Then I will make breakfast 」
Is answer.
"I'm sorry"
After apologizing to Miharu, Rio changed his gaze towards Celia.
「It appears that your conversation has ended. Now, will you give me a satisfactory explanation? 」
Celia showed a sullen expression while folding her hands.
「I'm sorry, because I will give a full explanation of what I understand」
Rio unintentionally smiled wryly.
Perhaps because the explanation to Miharu ended safely without accident, the confusion until some time ago vanished, Rio regained his composure.
（But he explained it hastily to Miharu）
Celia's cheeks bulged slightly as she felt a little irritated by that fact.
「Ya, please」
Even so, Celia faced Rio while showing a mask of a bold smile.
Celia thought that herself who could show nothing but this kind of attitude was not funny.
（I wonder what Rio feels about Miharu？ Uh, no, I shouldn't have thought about it. Or now I won't learn anything about this kid）
Even when her mind accidentally strayed from her path, Celia returned her consciousness to the spirit girl.
Although what Rio felt about Miharu was important, the truly beautiful girl who suddenly appeared was even more important.
First, what does this have to do with Rio?
Celia's face flushed red as she recalled the figure of the girl who was sober under the blanket that she had seen some time ago.
After that, in that place.
「First, she is roh」
Rio started with his explanation.
「Eh ......?」
Section 12
Celia's line of thought came to a halt.
It's like being defeated by the pitcher's first winning pitch.
「Spirit, could it be that he is a high ranking existence that you said before?」
But, it was better to say as expected, after regaining himself, he immediately thought of the possibility, so he asked Rio that question.
"Yes nih . Yes, he is the existence that you are currently imagining. Although I think that almost no human even sees spirits, some spirits make contracts with humans 」
"Contract?"
「It was like a link to strengthen the relationship between humans and spirits. Spirits receive odo ...... they receive magical powers from humans, and humans receive help from spirits as payment 」.
「Although you put an interesting story to date. Judging from the storyline, this child should be a spirit contracted with Rio right？ 」
"Religion . As expected of sensei 」
He instantly understood the meaning of his explanation just by revealing a little information.
Truly a genius conversation partner.
「J-Just because you flatter me, don't expect it will help you！ So, why is this child in your room with such an appearance?」
Although she was almost persuaded by Rio's words which made her happy, she had yet to get an explanation for the reason why the girl was inside her room with such an appearance.
「Even I don't know the reason. This child was always in a state of deep sleep even under contract with me. And before I knew it, he suddenly appeared on my bed this morning ………. 」
「Ho ~ h, REALLY?」
Celia stared intently at Rio.
"I swear"
Rio gave a clear answer.
「This is not because of the true conscience OF GUILTY?」
「O-Of course not …. . 」
Although the girl's feelings and her naked body were too obvious in her brief mind, that was after all an act of a God.
Rio was drenched in cold sweat as he tried to persuade her.
「Hu ~ m ....」.
Celia looked at Rio with a sharp line of sight.
Section 13
「Ahaha ……. . Well, after that there's nothing I can trust. Please ask this story for this boy yourself if you don't believe me 」
"……No problem . I believe you"
Celia muttered in a low voice twisting her face as if she was sulking.
He had no intention of doubting Rio.
Because he knew that there was no way Rio would force the girl against his own will.
But, even if he believed her, an unpleasant matter was still an unpleasant one.
Although Celia somehow understood that this feeling was jealousy, this was the first time in her life that she found it difficult to obey that feeling.
「Well, when I think about it, the situation is indeed too silly」
Celia took a sip of the black tea that Miharu made to calm her mind and then managed to say that.
（Maybe I'm the jealous type of girl？ U ~ h, I can't do it. I can't calm my heart）
That was what he thought while taking a deep breath.
「Then, I want to know what the name of this child is?」
Celia asked the name of the woman.
「Actually, he doesn't have a name
"Is that so?"
"Yes nih . Because the person himself said that 」
「U ~ hm, but pathetic has no name. You can't do that, think of a good name for him 」
「I also thought about it because it looks like he wants the name also」
「It seems he himself was aware of something like a name. More or less, come up with something easy and suitable for him. Although I think there is no need to think hard about it. What name do you think is right for you？ 」
Celia asked while sending a glance at the spirit girl.
The girl was silent for a moment.
「Anything is okay if it's the name of Haruto」
Is answer.
「He likes you a lot, she
Celia looked at Rio with half-open eyes.
「Ahaha」
Rio replied with an awkward laugh.
「Uhm, although it will be very helpful to me if you say something you like」
Section 14
And then, Rio asked the girl.
「…. . I like Haruto, you are the most important to me 」
So the girl answered.
「Like me and, most importantly ......」.
The one that appeared first in his mind was Miharu.
Maybe because of that.
He immediately remembered a name.
「Aishia ............. . how about that name？ 」
Aishia is a word in the ancient language Seirei no Tami which means “Hangat” Spring.
It was from the word "Haru" from "Miharu" as a reminder of that name.
Her hair color was light pink hair like sakura petals which made her think that the name was strangely suitable for her.
「Aishia. Alright"
And then, the girl immediately replied.
「Are you okay with that？ Although I think we can think of other options if we think with others ……. 」
「Uhn. Aishia good 」
The girl did not show much emotion on her face after waking up.
But, only this time did he feel an unusually strong will from the girl.
「Well, if you are fine with that name but ……. 」
Rio looked at the girl a little surprised.
And then, just for a moment, Rio saw the girl smiling happily.
「Alright, greetings, Aishia」
「Yes. Salam . Haruto 」
Aishia nodded back at him.
「My name is Cecilia Claire. Yours sincerely, Aishia 」
"Greet . Celia 」's
Aishia replied to Celia's greeting with her beautiful and transparent voice but with the same inhuman tone as before.
「Then, I will introduce everyone again at breakfast」
Section 15
There are still two residents who have not met Aishia.
He had to introduce her to them if she would stay in this house from now on.
「Yes. Aki and Masato 」
「You know about them ………. . 」
What Aishia knows, or what she doesn't know.
There is a need to confirm a little.
While thinking that, Rio was about to ask Aishia a question.
"Good morning"
Distracted
Aki appeared in the living room with a sleepy face.
「Morni ~ ng」
And Masato followed him almost at the same time appearing in the living room.
「Eh, that person is .....?」
Aki immediately spoke with questioning words when she saw Aishia.
「Ah, dia――」
When Rio tried to introduce Aishia to Aki-tachi.
At that time .
「Food is ready, Haruto-san」
Miharu called breakfast over.
「Ah, so Aki-chan and Masato-kun are awake. Good morning"
"Good morning . Miharu-oneechan 」
「Morni ~ days. Miharu-neechan 」
It was an ordinary morning and it was a normal spectacle.
Although the occupants in this place would increase by one person after today, this habit would not change.
Rio was staring at that scene with a smiling face.
Before he knew, Aishia who was standing beside him gave him a glimpse into his face.
（There's something I don't understand but）
Right, after all, there are still many things about Aishia that she has yet to understand even though she woke up.
Although there were so many things he wanted to ask when he woke up, the world would not easily let that happen.
But ———–.
「Stay only, it's also not bad」
Rio muttered with a face filled with happy smiles.
