The Seirei Gensouki Spirit Chronicles
Chapter 5: Misunderstanding

Oh, such a voice was also tempting, Haruto thought to Miharu's words, but he didn't move to leave the blanket. Wanting to see his reaction, he could only tease her a little.

“Come, Haru-kun, wake up ” Miharu shook Haruto gently.

“Mmph ..” Haruto grumbled in response. Then, somewhere beside the bed, Miharu started to get restless with something. I guess I should wake up now, thought Haruto, but just like him –

“Yeah! I will definitely wake you!” Miharu said, jumping on her blanket.

“Whoa, huh ?! Waitaminute! Wait a minute, Mii-chan! I surrender! I'm gonna wake up! ” Haruto reappears from his blanket in a hurry to find Miharu smiling satisfiedly at him.

“Fufu! Good morning, Haru-kun. ” To be honest, the priesthood is unfair .. But Haruto also won't let it lie down.

“Nah!” Haruto mischievously dragged Miharu into the blanket with him.

“W-Wah! Haru-kun!” Miharu blushed in embarrassment from being hugged so tightly by him under the blanket.

“Do you want me to let go?” Haruto asked lazily. Miharu was in front of him.

That was enough to make him very happy.

“Uugh ... What's up, Haru-kun? You are so brave today. ”

“That's because I love Mii-chan. Don't you? Do you want me to let go? ” He is really brave today, Haruto thought expressionlessly as he spoke.

“K-You're evil, Haru-kun. There's no way I want you to let go.” Miharu reddened deep red as she muttered.

“Betulkah. … Then is it okay if we stay like this a little longer? ”

Just for now, at least, Haruto thought as he hugged Miharu. For a moment, it felt as if

Miharu will be floating somewhere far away .. Haruto keeps bothering Miharu to divert herself from her worries.

“Ya,”

Miharu nodded while smiling little. Haruto gently rubbed the strands of Miharu's hair, then gently stroked her cheeks. … But his hands suddenly refused to move, as if they had been controlled by something. Before he realized it, Miharu's warmth disappeared.

“Please wake up.”

Haruto – no, Rio – returns to the real world, called by someone's voice. That is that voice

unknown; one of the young girls, but definitely not Miharu's.

Let me sleep, I want to see this dream a little longer.

from the bottom of his heart. However, his consciousness would not allow it now that he was awake.

“Um, please wake up.”

Rio was shaken with a blink. Then, his expression immediately turned into one of destruction.

Of course, it wasn't Miharu before she – it was the elf girl Orphia and the dwarf girl Alma. Is that ... a dream? Rio was thinking vaguely due to the burning fever and fatigue. An indescribable feeling of loss overcame him, making tears fall suddenly from his eyes.

Amakawa Haruto is dead, and he will never see Miharu again. That's why he did

it's best to stop remembering Miharu. The thoughts and feelings that she had sealed up until now flowed out from her beside her tears.

Rio still had feelings of regret towards Miharu inside him; his dream just now had been

emphasize that sharply. However, even with that awareness, Miharu was not in this world. The truth is cruel.

“Erm .. Good morning.” Orphia said hesitantly as Rio dejectedly shed his tears.

“Good morning,” Rio replied on reflex, despite not seeing Orphia and Alma at all. Him

biting her lips to hold back her emotions.

Suddenly, he felt someone wrap a blanket over his body. They may not be able to

seeing a boy of the same age in his underwear, even one of a different race. Well, who cares about that, Rio thought impolitely. Awkward silence falls over room – precisely Orphia and Alma, to be exact. That's when the door opened hard.

“Onii Chan!” Latifa appeared in the doorway. Moments later, Sara and Uzuma came in as well. As soon as Latifa entered the room, she cried and stuck to Rio's horizontal figure on the bed.

“... Why are you crying, Latifa?”

“Because you're gone, Onii-chan. I don't want that .. Please don't leave me. Stay by my side, please!”

“I'm here, right?” Rio said gently with a tense smile. Saw Latifa crying, though,

somehow made him calm down for a moment; his emotional disposition had disappeared.

“Then will you always be with me? You'll never leave, will you?” Latifa asked, though,

squeezing Rio's body tighter.

“Oh, Dear. Can you hold me a little more gently? Pain.” Said Rio with a restless face,

avoid that question.

He can't answer yes. If he did, it might be a lie. Tastes

“Hah, are you hurt? Why – What is this ?!” Latifa finally noticed the handcuffs around the hands

and Rio's legs. He tried to dismantle them by force, but it was in vain.

“Don't worry about me. Did they do anything bad to you, Latifa? ”

“Iya. They hurt my Onii-chan,” Latifa replied immediately, making Rio blink with an expression

blank.

“Then everything was fine” He said, amused.

“Nuh-uh! That's not true. Who did this to you? ”

Latifa shook her head angrily with tears in her eyes. Then, he saw

around the room and looking at Sara, Orphia, Alma, and Uzuma – are four who seem to know. He looked at them suspiciously, secretly asking them to explain what happened.

“U-Umm ..” Not sure where to start, Sara's face paled as she opened her mouth. The other three wore the same expression. Tibatiba –

“Gosh, why can't you guys walk a little slower? I'm here now.” It's too late, Ursula arrives. As soon as she saw Latifa clinging to Rio, she lowered her head and sighed.

“Figur. Son of man, please accept my apology. I'd like to ask you a few questions

about the girl. Will you cooperate with us? We'll pick a better place to talk, of course. ”

“Who cares about that! Did you do this to Onii-chan? Answer me.” Before Rio

able to answer Ursula's questions, Latifa cut and made a very unfriendly request.

“It's true ... hm ?! This was ... a very cruel killing intent. ” As Ursula confirms the allegations

Latifa, Latifa is taking a protective stance over Rio. His eyes were sharp like guard dogs, glaring at the occupants of the room.

“You're cruel to Onii-chan. I will not forgive you. ”

Before they realized it, an intimidating thick air pierced through the dim space. It was directed at everyone in the room. Everyone except Rio. Sara's group all stiffened at once, sweating nervously. The winged werebeast, Uzuma, stepped forward and took the full effect of Latifa's sharp gaze.

“Stop, Uzuma.”

“You too, Latifa. I'm glad you feel that way, but stop it. I'm fine, so

let's hear what they say. ” Ursula and Rio intervened, not wanting the situation to get out of hand.

“If Onii-chan says so, then ..” Latifa reluctantly backed down.

“Thank you all. Before we move, allow me to remove the handcuffs. Where is

keys, Uzuma? ”

“... I gave it to Miss Sara,” Uzuma replied in a stiff voice.

“Then, Sara. Take off the handcuffs immediately. ”

“Y-Yes, Mom! …Excuse me.” Sara nodded, running towards Rio in a hurry. Handcuffs on the neck, man,

his hands and feet were released one by one.

“Thank you very much.”

“T-No! We have to apologize to you! Please accept our sincere apologies!” Sara lowered her head in bewilderment after Rio thanked her.

“Then, let's move immediately. Follow me.”

“Of course. … But can you give me a minute? I want to heal myself a little. ” When Rio tried to stand up and follow Ursula, a sharp pain pierced his stomach. His face twisted in pain as he asked for permission to take care of himself.

“Hm? Did they hurt you? That's unforgivable. Let me help you immediately.” Ursula replied, staring coldly at Sara and the others.

“No, I can do it. Please don't trouble yourself.” Rio rejected his offer and

he started healing himself.

“It ... spirit art. I see, so you are a Yagumo man. Really unusual ... ”

“So this is spirit art?” Ursula muttered to herself in understanding, prompting Rio

to question him.

He was more than aware that he was using an unusual ability that was similar, yet not

like magic. He had been trying to research his identity in the library of the Royal Academy, and as a result, he had come across a book that spoke of a mimic technique called “the art of spirits.” However, there were no details other than his name, and his research ended without him receiving any more clarity from his abilities.

“From the looks of it, you don't seem to understand spirit arts very well. How can you

studying it? ”
