The Seirei Gensouki Spirit Chronicles
Chapter 5: Misunderstanding

“Ah, no, but .. I don't need repentance or anything.” Said Rio, shrinking back.

“A-I understand that we might trouble you! We are really worried that Rio-sama will be the one to oppose this.. It is true that we were told to do this, but we are happy to follow through! We also want to be more familiar with Latifa!” With all her heart Sara revealed her best abilities. Rio could feel the determination within him; he would not retreat so easily. The silence in the room continued for a moment, until ….

“Rio-sama, I'm in.” Ursula appeared in the doorway.

“Ursula ..” Rio looked at her with a questioning gaze, wondering if this was all he was doing.

“I accidentally heard part of your conversation. On the topic of living together with the girls, Rio-sama, I want to humbly ask you this.”

“Even if you say it .. isn't that undesirable for them? Sara and the others have the same bloodline as the village council members, right? There will be bad rumors if they live with a human like me.” Rio whispered in Ursula's ear, after standing up quickly and approaching her.

“More reasons, then. Rumors about Rio-sama and Latifa had already spread throughout the village. If the village council treats you like a plague, those negative rumors will be even worse.” Ursula shook her head indifferently.

“Will it be okay?”

“Yes, that's fine. As the chief elder, I guarantee this. This is the action we took for Latifa's welfare, Rio-sama one day you intend to leave the village, open? Aka not wanted

to continue this dependence he has developed on you. You need an individual next to him who can be his guardian, his friend. While the girls still had a long way to go, they were all good girls. ”

Just like Ursula said. If he were to consider Latifa's future, Rio would have to be less protective of her.

“...You are right. Both Latifa and I will benefit greatly from this. ”

“Oho! Then can I take that as a word of acceptance? ”

“Iya. If it was not too much trouble for Sara and the others .. ” Thus, it was decided that Rio and Latifa would live together with the spirit folk girls.

That night, in order to celebrate their new life together, they decide to

simple party. The attendees were the new residents of the house – Rio, Latifa, Sara, Orphia, and Alma – and the three chief elders, Ursula, Syldora, and Dominic, with a total of eight people. When the night comes,

they went to prepare a feast in the kitchen. Sara, Orphia, and Alma take over the cooking, while Rio asks for help. But of course …

“Rio-sama, please rest for a while,” says they all.

“From now on we'll live together, so there's no need to support me too much. We all will

tired like that, don't you think? And I prefer if you stop calling me ‘sama’ too,” Rio said with a forced smile. The three girls looked at each other.

“Then, umm .. Is it okay to call you Rio?” Sara asked on behalf of the group.

“Yes, it will be fine. Let's do our homework the same way.

We can decide on the specifics of another day, so let's cook together for today.

This way we can check out each of our skill levels while cooking as well. ”

“I want to eat Onii-chan cuisine!”

Rio's suggestion made Latifa excitedly jump into the conversation. The three girls –

especially Sara – seems worried about assigning tasks to Rio, but Latifa's last words make them succumb to her wishes. Then, after discussing who would

making what, they finally started to prepare the food. In fact, Rio was eager to cook.

There were so many ingredients in the kitchen that were not available in Strahl, so he wanted to try making as many

maybe food on Earth. Latifa would definitely be very happy as well. He will only make western food that the kids love – pasta, omelet, and meat buns. With skillful hands, he finished cooking while avoiding blocking the others, making Sara and Alma expand

their eyes in admiration.

“Fufu, it's fun .. Cooking with everyone,” said Orphia, preparing food and

happy grinning.

“Rio .. good at cooking like Orphia.” Alma says. He was still a little reluctant to call Rio without a title.

“A-I won't lose either!” Sara said enthusiastically, handling the ingredients with more

serious. In a short time, there was a party for them. The living room of their new home was soon filled

with life.

“Gahaha! Your food is so good, son!” Dominic laughed out loud, gulping down the alcohol inside

metal cup.

“Ya, amazing skills. My favorite is this egg dish with tomatoes. ” Syldora and Ursula hit their lips while cooking Rio.

“I prefer this one with potatoes and cheese. Perfect with alcohol. Alma, what about you? ”

“I like the best meat dishes. It looked really hard to make, but it felt definitely worth it,” Alma replied as she chewed on the patty.

“Ehehe, all Onii-chan cuisine is delicious!” Latifa smiled proudly as she ate the pasta.

“Rio, teach me how to make it next time,” Orphia asks in a friendly manner.

“O-Orphia, isn't that disrespectful?!” Sara warned him in a panic.

“Sure, I don't mind. Instead, teach me how to make some of your village's cooking as well. ” So, one way or another, their life in the village had a pretty good start.

Chapter 6: Life in the Village

The day after Rio and Latifa settled in the village .. Rio received spirit arts lessons from Ursula and Orphia in the courtyard near their home.

“Rio-sama, you mentioned you used spirit arts by imitating magic, but that is not the actual way to use spirit arts. Let's start by explaining what spirit art really is. ”

“Please do.”

“Hm .. The concept of spirit art can be very abstract and elusive, but you have already gained all the technical skills necessary to use it. Not to mention the fact that you have formed a contract with a top rank spirit. You will become a leading spirit art user in no time,” Ursula said with a carefree smile, before continuing.

“Let me start from the beginning. Spirit art is a technique that manipulates the ode to infuse your will into nowhere, causing a phenomenon that changes the world around us. Ode is the life energy .. or what humans refer to as magic essence, whereas mana is energy

nature itself. Since you can use spirit arts, you should be able to detect and see ode, as well as detect where is that true, Rio-sama? ”

“Betul. I can see and detect ode. With regards to mana, I could not see with my eyes, but I was able to sense a strange power in the air. But I wasn't entirely sure about it until

now it's. ” Since the first time he used spirit art in this world – no, no,

because he was taught how to use spirit arts by that mysterious girl – sixth sense appeared within Rio. His feelings became sharper, allowing him to sense things that were far beyond his previous ability.

Looking back now, that girl must have been my contracted spirit. She appeared in his vision like an illusion, leaving him with minimal advice before disappearing once again. Rio remembered how, back then, the girl looked very tired, and Dryas' comments about how she was sound asleep certainly seemed right.

“so so. Normally, it would take a lot of training to reach that level of mastery, but it seems like Rio-sama is an exception since the contract with the spirit is at least high rank. ”

“Does the ability to use spirit arts increase when contracts with spirits are formed?”

“You might think like that. A user of spirit arts and spirit contracts were strongly linked together. Spirits are manifestations of which have their own clear consciousness. They had an overwhelming affinity towards spirit arts, which was the act of manipulating mana itself. ”

“... Spirits are manifestations of which with their own clear awareness, you say?” Rio was wondering what it means to where – natural energy itself – to get his own consciousness and become a spirit.

“Hm. As I said earlier – Spirit Art is a technique that manipulates ode to give your will to mana, causing a phenomenon that changes the world around us. The reason why this happened was because where it itself had an unclear consciousness. The spirit is

which beings are, under the alignment of miraculous states, coming to form a clear sense of themselves. ”

“So .. That's why they can make their own shape and communicate. What form can a spirit take outside of the humanoid form? ”

“Will be faster if you see it for yourself. Orphia .. ”

“Ya, Chief Elder. Ariel's. ”

Asked by Ursula, Orphia nodded and called out the name of her own contracted spirit. The particles flowed together and gathered beside him to form a four-meter-long eagle-like creature. Rio gulped breathlessly at the phenomenon that had just happened before his eyes.

“Spirit is usually inside the user's body in their spirit form, but they can

taking on this physical form when called upon. For a spirit, the body of an art user is the source of the ode supply. It is very convenient for them to stay there. ”

“Can this speak like Dryas?” Rio asked when he saw Ariel playing around with

Orphia.

“It can't. He can understand our words, and has a simple telepathic connection with his art users, but only a humanoid spirit can have a conversation. Once your spirit awakens, Rio-sama, you should be able to communicate with him as you please. ”

“Ya .. There are a lot of things I want to ask once she wakes up.”

“Hm. If there's something you don't know at this point, we can try to answer you as best

maybe from our ability. ”

Seriate.....

How are you all doing ?
