Episode 187: Tour of the Manor and Discussion with Sharon and Celia
The day after we arrived in the Kingdom of Galark and reunited with Sharon. Rio had been guided by officials of the Kingdom of Galarc to visit the mansion given to him by François. Right beside it are Charlotte, Christina and Flora, as well as Leezelotte in Shark Moon and Celia.
The location is near the royal castle. The leading aristocrats of the Kingdom of Galark set up the mansion, and the King's Capital Mansion of the Duke of Cretier's house is also a super first-class place among the neighboring aristocratic neighborhoods.
The apparent nomenclature that was thus to be given the mansion is a grace for all the useful information obtained in the process of saving Christina and Flora, but one can see how highly François values Rio around the setting up of the mansion on so much land.
"Well, isn't it a pretty good garden? Looks like it would be fun to have a tea party on a nice day. Hey, Master Hart. Shall we go around outside first?"
Upon entering the mansion grounds, Charlotte packs the distance from Rio as she looks around the garden. Not so close, but the space was filled to the point where the shoulders were likely to touch each other.
"Yeah, that's right"
Rio responds to Charlotte, while noticing his proximity, without any particular consciousness. It was more intimate during the night club, and I still don't have to worry about it if it's a way to get stuffed this far. I guess he thinks silence is auspicious because the royal Charlotte can't say very strongly in the opponent, and when he speaks poorly, he's going to be amused and pack extra distance.
Shark Moon and Lieselotte also have a small sigh of sight of him actively arming up with Rio during the night club, or doing so without paying any particular attention. Although -,
(The distance is close...)
It's a surprising fact from Celia, who sees these sights for the first time. I was aware that Rio seemed to be building a good relationship with Charlotte in yesterday's and today's interactions, but I never thought a girl in a royal position would allow so much access to certain men. I point my eyes and look behind the two people walking next to each other.
Christina has also opened her eyes slightly to Charlotte's behavior, which approached Rio intimately. Flora, on the other hand, who was attending the night club, but almost because Hiroaki and I were acting together and we didn't see much of Rio and Charlotte together, or because we obviously said, "Huh? He had the expression."
"Hart, it's like I think of you like a brother, Charlie."
Sharon smiles and tells Celia and the others.
"Really? I remember that if you were my brother, Prince Michelle and I would have gotten along..."
And, Christina. What the hell are you going to admire an unconnected man like a brother when you say there are other brothers of good fruit?
"Of course, Michelle, I admire your brother as my real brother."
Was Charlotte listening properly, looking back and joining the story?
"So why are you admiring Sir Amakawa like your real brother?
Christina threw the question to identify its sincerity.
"Master Hart also owes me a debt of gratitude for saving him from the bandit raid during the night club. I saw that ambition up close and thought you were a very reliable person. Don't you think you deserve respect for fixing a martial arts that would bring down warriors of war at such a young age without difficulty?
Charlotte praises Rio at will.
"Surely, there is no such person as Sir Amakawa who demonstrates such outstanding talent at your age. Normally, it's still half a serving, and if it's all alone, it's amazing."
The age of majority in this world is fifteen, but not so, such as a human being who can be alone in a particular field at that age.
"Isn't that right? Besides, Master Hart has a beautiful appearance, and he is very humble and gentleman."
Charlotte laughs furiously and tangles her arms in Rio's.
"... As I've said before, I wonder if this kind of adherence to boulders would mislead those around me"
Rio sighed at the boulder and complained badly about the stirring.
"Just let me get the wrong idea, and that's when I said it."
And Charlotte lies adorably.
"But if your father sees it, he won't look good."
"That's not a problem. Your father is a capacitarian. Of course, authority will be valued, but we will never take it lightly when it comes to those with high abilities. You told me to go visit Master Satsuki at this mansion. It's a lovely home, and if Master Hart is here, should I ask him every day?
It was Rio bringing up the presence of Francois, the king, but only giving Charlotte a further great name. Then here Sharon pinches the words.
"Come on, Charlie, I think you're annoying Hart every day with the boulder."
"Oh, at that time, of course, I thought Satsuki would be with you every day."
"Well, I can give it to you as far as it doesn't bother you..."
I am told I am with you, and Sharon raises her voice. It's her insistence on keeping the moderation, and if Rio's house is in the neighborhood, he still wants to go play.
"If you can't be with Master Satsuki, I will be asking you to come to Master Hart every night by myself... You know, it might be interesting if we stayed there."
That's what Charlotte tells him, with an alluring smile at his age.
"I'm telling you not to add or subtract, Hart, because it annoys you every day. Besides, why the night?
"Oh, when men and women meet each other, night is a lesson in plays and novels than it used to be, isn't it?
"No, because that's a romance play or a novel. Besides, the premise is you're going to see me at night."
Sharon blushed in embarrassment.
"Hehe, so I'm kidding. I am a princess. You can't go to a heterosexual mansion without a boulder or fiancée. Well, if Satsuki wants to go out with you, I'm not too shy."
"... already"
When Charlotte lies, Sharon points her lips only slightly. When Rio and I continued to gaze at each other, we turned to him.
(Sha, Charlotte is another princess with a different vibe than Christina or Flora. Well, he's only fourteen...)
Celia stared at the interaction between the brave men surrounding Rio and the second princess, but she caught a grin when she saw Charlotte showing off quite a naiveté.
Kristina, the boulder, was also static in her interaction with bitter laughter. However, Flora looks at the Sharks with a little envy from outside the mosquito nets. Then...
"That's what Charlotte is like. Because you have flexible thoughts that are revealed in royalty but do not fit into shape, I too was often swung from childhood to childhood like Satsuki today."
and Lieselotte, sighing, spoke to Celia and the others.
"Oh, if it's a flexible thought that doesn't fit into shape, I think Leezelotte is way more out of shape than I am. Beyond being royal, I'm a bird in a basket called a castle. I can't even get out of this castle on my own. I'm not free to fly around like Leezelotte and decide who to engage with."
Charlotte immediately looks back and joins the conversation.
"haha......"
Leezelotte didn't want to expose the crevices of being followed by saying bad things, he took up the grin and misled.
"Does Master Leezelotte have the freedom to decide who you want to be engaged to?
and Celia tilting her little neck.
"Yeah, yeah. Recognized by the Ricca Chamber of Commerce for its commercial prosperity and amand development."
Leezelotte gets the attention of the other princesses, and the bat looks a little worse.
"When I went to Lieselotte, I graduated from the Royal College in my country in flying class."
"Beh, it's not just for that..."
Charlotte told me the story, and Leezelotte was hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. It's not something anyone can do because you simply can't be recognized for good grades to play flying class and you need to demonstrate outstanding talent in certain areas. More so if you have one person every few years.
"Yeah, speaking of flying class, do you think Celia was also graduated from the Royal College of Beltram in flying class? If that's all you've accomplished and you've left us with remarkable research results to tell our country too, can you admit as much about freedom of marriage?
Here Charlotte points the water at Celia. Although freedom of marriage is not generally granted to women's nobility, women who have achieved excellence are sometimes treated exceptionally.
"For once, I was recognized. But the domestic situation has changed dramatically, and I can't leave the country now and get in touch with my parents..."
"Things are what they are. How can you marry a boulder without your parents' permission in the present situation? Nevertheless, we can't wait forever for the situation to stabilize, and it's hard for an elderly woman not to be able to marry forever. Isn't there someone you're interested in?
Charlotte roars and gets good at it, and asks Celia.
"Oh, no, that's, haha...... duh, what do you think?
Celia turns her gaze only to Rio for a moment and immediately lets her gaze wander away, then leans her neck unnecessarily.
"... I see. Well, isn't it impeccable to pry too much? Because a woman would look more attractive if she had about one of her secrets. Don't you think so, Master Hart?
Charlotte chuckles really funny, grabbing Rio's arm again and snuggling. Requested for consent, Rio was gazed at by nature and the girls on the spot. In a slightly worse situation of being alone with a man...
"Yeah, well."
Rio nods slightly awkwardly.
"That was a very good thing to hear. Let me give you a reference in the future. Sounds like it's time to circle your garden. Shall we enter the mansion?"
When Charlotte blooms a dust and a grin, she encourages her to move inside the mansion. Then, checking inside the mansion to make sure there were no problems or objections to the property given to it, the mansion was clear and became a real estate owned by Hart-Amakawa.
◇ ◇ ◇
And that night. Sharon invited Rio and Celia to his private room, where the three of us were to dine alone. Rio and Celia sit next to each other, lowering their hips in a form opposite Sharon.
"Are you sure you want to? You're disturbing me."
Celia asks Sharon when she arrives at a table lined with dishes.
"Yeah, I heard Mr. Celia was Hart's benefactor, so I wanted to talk to you."
Sharon responded to the dust and Celia. Then...
"Actually, Mr. Sharon and Celia met once, don't you notice?
Rio joins the conversation.
"Huh? Really? I felt like I had some kind of vision, but..."
Sharon stared at Celia's face and twisted her neck in surprise.
"Only once in the middle of a night club, you would have come to a rock house, wouldn't you? That's when."
Only Celia and Isiah, who named Cecilia and her pseudonym, face to face at the Rock House, except for Mizuki.
"When I went to the Rock House... Ah! Uh, uh... uh, but the color of my hair, and my name was Cecilia..."
Sharon stared seriously at Celia and immediately seemed to think of it. But I'm confused, either because Cecilia in my memory and Celia's visuals in front of me are different.
"You would also have been briefly touched by the circumstances in which Celia is placed in conversation with His Majesty King François, wouldn't you? Do you remember that?
"Yep. I almost got forced into a political marriage in the Kingdom of Bertram, but Princess Christina told me she left the country at her behest..."
"Just for the record, I'm the one who was protecting you, because I was explaining it externally. When I met Mr. Sharon, I didn't even have time to give an explanation, so he was disguised with special magic equipment that was not known to the public, and he had his pseudonym named after him. By the way, it's easy to tell Celia about my past life."
and Rio explained how and the truth about Celia.
"Yes, what..."
Sharon decides how trusted Celia is by Rio.
"Well, isn't it nice to meet you, then? I find it kind of strange..., thank you again, Celia."
"Yes, welcome"
Sharon and Celia greet each other only a little. Immediately afterwards, the meal will begin and the welcome will be relaxed for a while.
That way, when you finish eating a whole street of dishes...
"Hart, if you know your past life, Celia needs to talk to you too... Of course, Hart, if you like."
Sharon cut out the story as she watched Celia.
"What is it?
And, Rio.
"It's about Miharu and the others."
Sharon tells me clearly.
"... right? I don't care if it's Celia."
Did you predict thinly, Rio laughed bitterly and agreed.
"Well, it's quick......, what does Celia think about Miharu and the others being gone from before you, Hart?
And, Sharon asks Celia.
"... I wasn't in the castle then, and I didn't hear more from Hart about what happened..."
That's what Celia said, being a thought face...
"For Aki and Masato, the brave men of the Kingdom of St. Stella are your brothers, especially since Aki wanted to be with you, so I kind of know why you want to follow... I guess"
And I went on with the words.
"Yes, it is..."
That doesn't seem to convince Sharon.
"Besides, the brave Satsuki, of course, if Hart's position is now that he's a nobleman, we'll see him again, won't we? I'm lonely, but we both knew we might not be able to be together for four or six hours more than we jumped into the world of royal aristocracy, and it's not like we're breaking up this life. Then I'd like to respect their choices. I know what it's like to meet a separated family..."
And as Celia roared and gave more details of her thoughts, Sharon began to look gradually surprised.
"Hart, you'll see me again, this raw goodbye...? Hey, Mr. Hart. Maybe you haven't explained anything to me at the heart of it?
Sharon sees Giroli and Rio.
"I don't know if it depends on what it's about..."
Rio looked out of sight with a bad bat.
"What do you mean?
Celia asks questions with a question mark on her face.
"Miharu, shut up to me and to you, Hart, and you're gone. Besides, Hart, leave a message that you'll never see me again."
Sharon briefly told him what happened at the time.
"What, really?!?
Celia flashes and sees Rio wondering what it means.
"Well, Celia was also worried about your parents at the time, so I hope you didn't want to tell me anything that would bother you too much..."
Rio looked a little dark back, answering Celia.
"That's how you do it again... Tell me, Michal and the others are my friends, too. What do you mean, I can't see you anymore?
Celia bites her teeth like crazy and asks Rio for further explanation. Most importantly, Celia does not imitate Rio by caring and digging deeply in Celia, or until Rio asks her important things, so they are not similar to each other.
"I think I should give you a proper explanation from your mouth"
Sharon finally appealed to Rio with his gaze.
"………………… OK"
Rio took a deep breath when he thought he would patrol plenty and also decided to teach Celia what happened during the night club.
That she was familiar with Mi-chun and childhood in her previous life, that Aki was a sister who became separated from her childhood, that she confessed to Mi-chun at a nightclub......
So, when I finish explaining the whole street--
"I see..."
Celia was shocked to hear that Rio confessed to Miharu during the night club. But with a series of other shocking facts, I'll hammer for now. Then...
"The operation of the Magic Ship has been suspended for some time now, and I could not get to the Kingdom of St. Stella, but when we talk about the King, it seems we will resume the operation of the Magic Ship of the Kingdom of Galark soon"
Sharon accidentally opened her mouth.
"... so?
Rio looks forward to the shark moon and urges ahead.
"Hart, why don't you join me in the Kingdom of St. Stella? Looks like I need to send a messenger first to get some acknowledgement, and it'll be weeks ahead of me as soon as possible..."
Shark Moon invites Rio to join him in his journey to the Kingdom of St. Stella.
"Unfortunately"
Rio shook his clothes quietly.
"I waited so long. Miharu and the others waited a long time for the Kingdom of St. Stella while the operation of the Magic Ship was suspended. So, they screwed up my nose, but I thought about it all by myself. While you're moving around."
Sharon tells that and stares at Rio with his jitsu eyes.
Rio took up his grin in a disgusting way.
"Me, I knew Miharu and I weren't the kind of kids who disappeared somewhere on their own in front of the people they took care of for no reason."
"I think so too"
And, Sharon speaks and Celia agrees with you.
"... Really?"
Rio hammers with a slightly lonely face.
"Really... You know, don't you really think the same thing about me? Do you think Miharu would be such a rude imitator? Don't you believe in Miharu and the others?
Shark Moon looked directly at Rio's face, not to say that he would not allow him to escape.
"Isn't that a little dastardly to ask?
Rio smiles back and asks.
"Because that's what I think. Especially Miharu and I used to be on the same student union board in middle school. I understood what that kid was like and asked him to be an officer from me on top of that. So I know what she's like."
And Sharon speaks with perseverance -,
"So is Hart about you. I'm still a very short relationship, but I don't know what way you've lived in this world, but if you look at what you've done for us, you know exactly what you're like."
Keep standing, that's what I told him.
"I'm not a big person."
Rio answers his self-derision.
"... I also thought when I talked to you right after Miharu and the others were gone, Hart, you're not being modest, you're slowly underestimating yourself"
"I'm not going to look particularly low..."
"So you're of poor quality"
Sharon takes a big sigh and stares at Rio's face.
"haha......"
Celia grinned bitterly as to whether there was anything to sympathize with Sharon's statement.
"I think the story is out of line."
Rio seems uncomfortable, off the record.
"Right. I want you to tell me if you think Miharu is the kind of kid who disappears somewhere in silence to you, her benefactor, or if you don't believe in Miharu and the others."
"... I've been asked similar questions before, but I believe you. Miharu said she was very courteous and kind."
When we can look to Sharon, Rio answers with a sense of mindfulness.
"I'm convinced on top of that, you said. After all the time, is that still the case?
"Yeah, that's right."
Rio snorts.
"So you don't like Miharu anymore?
"There's no way you don't like it. Just..."
"Just?"
Sharon and Celia wait for Rio to speak.
"How I feel right now is not like romantic feelings anymore. If she's happy, that's fine."
And Rio says it like it's broken up. Being shaken by Miharu allowed me to abandon my untrained skills. That's why we were able to push our way to revenge. If she was tied to Miharu there, Rio wouldn't know if she was headed for Lucius even if she grabbed a clue.
…………
Sharon and Celia chewed their lips back.
"Neither of you, don't look like that"
and Rio calls on Shark Moon and Celia.
"... is this always the case, what about him?
"Yeah. Because she's a kid who doesn't talk a lot about herself..."
"Sounds like you're struggling, too, Celia"
"haha...... but also because Rio has a lot to take care of"
When Sharon sighed loudly, Celia gave a peek at a half-and-a-half giggle.
"... Fine. It's no different than what I do. I will head to the Kingdom of St. Stella as soon as the demon ship is back in service. Of course, I don't mean to, but I'll keep my promise to you, so don't worry."
And, Sharon tells him dissatisfied. The promise is not to talk about Rio from Sharon's side. It was an arrangement between Rio and Sharon after Mizuki and Mizuki took over the Kingdom of Galark. I'm just not convinced, I'm pointing my lips.
"Thank you"
And Rio says thank you a little awkwardly.
"But what are you going to do now?
"What are you going to do?
"Upcoming plans."
"... in the meantime, I plan to meet Mr. Liezelotte personally tomorrow, and when I finish my stay in the Kingdom of Galark, I'm going to finish my use in Rodania, and then once, I'm going to go back to where my sister-in-law (or whatever) and the people who took care of me are"
Rio tells Shark Moon about his upcoming plans.
"Hart, you had a sister..."
Sharon squeaks a little unexpectedly. Celia knew, so she's not particularly surprised, but she's never been given much detail, so she's pretty interested.
"It's my in-laws. He's such a good kid that I don't have a brother. And then there's my grandparents and cousins, so I thought I'd show you my face."
Did Rio remember the Latifah and the others, and here he finally got a soft face.
"I meant to know, Hart, but you're a person born and raised in this world, aren't you? So I have a family in this world"
And, Sharon roars troubled.
"Yeah. But what's wrong with that?
Rio peered into Sharon's face wondering.
"Shortly after Miharu and the others were gone, Hart, you were saying. I'm physically completely different now, and my values have changed a lot. So I'm not sure that I was the same person as Haruhei Amagawa."
And when Sharon talks...
(That's what I was thinking...)
Celia finds out and looks at Rio's hidden interior.
"... Yep, you remember me well"
Rio seemed impressed to learn that Shark Moon remembered the details of the conversation in Rio.
"Because that's all that matters to me, and your statement was impressive. Hart, you think you've changed who you are, which means that what you've been through in this world is making you do that, right?
"... well, will it"
And, Rio nods in a generous way. Sharon's reflection is a natural idea, but if it's normal, I wouldn't dare touch it there and try to step inside someone else. That's all I can see Sharon sincerely trying to face a boy named Rio.
"You said yesterday before the King or me that there were people who resented you, right? Does that have anything to do with you changing your values?
Sharon gazed at Rio's complexion and asked in horror.
"... yes. I dared to cloud my expression on that occasion, but I was trying to get revenge, I... No, it's more accurate that you've had your revenge."
That's what Rio says, mocking himself just a little so he can despise himself.
"Huh..."
To some extent, you expected Sharon to shut her mouth and push her emotions to death.
"It's not self-defense or anything. It's just a personal grudge, and I've killed people. Japan is a murderer. If you're Japanese and you have common sense sensibilities, you think you're a criminal who should be pointing your back finger socially?
……
Sharon will shut up. If we were to argue on the assumption of common sense and trends in Japanese society, we could not say that that was not the case.
"I've killed people besides revenge. If you have someone to attack, you also put in the means to kill them to protect yourself. If you were born and raised in Japan, wouldn't you think that you were incompatible with such a human being?
Kill people to protect themselves. People who make rough business in this world, such as professional soldiers and adventurers, will be considered as a natural option, but not for the Japanese. Because I thought so, it was Rio's statement that I and the Spring Man of Tenkawa are different nowadays -
"That's not true! At least I don't despise you!
And Sharon shouted and sued.
……
Did Rio surprise you a little or open his eyes?
"... because this is not Japan. Japanese common sense doesn't make sense because it would be a very insecure world. That's all I know. Of course, that's why I don't think I can kill people right now..."
And Sharon said...
"But that's why I don't despise you, Hart. Hart, without you, I wouldn't have been able to reunite with Miharu and the others. Thank you very much. Besides, Hart, what you did isn't a separate crime in this world, is it?
Yes, I went on with the words.
"... yes, the conditions under which self-defense is established are a lot looser than in Japan, and regardless of what happens in the city, the exchangers are basically no-touch to what happens outside the city"
Exceptions can arise depending on the identity of the perpetrator or victim, but if you tell the guard that you fought back and killed him because he was attacked by a burglar in the street, for example, he would end up with about "That was a disaster". Whether there is a murder in the city or according to the policy of the exchangers, in some cases it is clear from the surrounding eyewitness testimony that self-defense will be established, they will be released without having to bring a trial.
In Rio's case, the act of killing Lucius was fully justified at a time when there was a great name for saving Flora. Rather, there are no countries bothering to file cases outside their own territory, unless they are also cases that could develop into troublesome international problems for them or malicious criminals who are under nomination arrangements in their own countries.
"Then put your chest up. Hart, you're not living the way you're pointed backwards in common sense in this world, are you? As far as you're concerned, even though I had a big name for saving the princess, I know you think revenge shouldn't be... but I know that sensitivity is very important... I don't know...... oh, already, keep your chest up anyway. Because I don't despise you, and I think I can respect your ways!
Sharon was not able to successfully linguize his opinions, he got hot as he spoke and presented only his conclusions. Oddly enough, the purpose of that statement is the same as what Rio said to me before when he revealed his vengeance to Celia.
"I think I've said the same thing recently, but I agree with Master Satsuki. Behold, Rio. I don't despise you, and I'm going to respect the way you are. I don't know about you before you were reborn, but you're fine now, too. An irreplaceable benefactor, at least for me, a loved one"
Celia put her hand on her chest and called on Rio.
"............... thank you, both of you"
Rio was biting off his lips all the time, but eventually he lost his strength, loosening his mouth and thanking him.
"Hey, what are you laughing at, we're serious..."
Sharon shyly tided her cheeks and turned to her.
"Excuse me."
And, Rio honestly apologizes.
"Hehe."
Celia smiled dullly. Sharon, on the other hand, is still shy of reddening her cheeks, but when she turns her gaze to Rio for a moment -,
(Hart, while you were Japanese, you also combined Japanese sensibilities with distant values. That's why you've suffered. That's why you're so underrated. I also think I know why I gave up too much about Miharu)
And I thought. While I confessed to liking Miharu, I guess I thought somewhere in my heart that it was better for Miharu if I wasn't with myself anyway. So I'm easily convinced even at the end of the day that I'm not convinced if I'm normal. That is a point of view that could be inferred because it is a Japanese but has moved into this world.
"I thought you were a clumsy person, but maybe you're more clumsy than I thought, Hart."
Sharon sighs heavily.
"Haha, right......"
"That's right. 'Cause you're not going to meet Miharu and the others yet, are you?
"... yeah, well"
Rio agrees at first sight.
"You see."
Sharon sighed again, not saying it was clumsy evidence. And -,
"Can I tell you something from Mr. Celia, Hart?
And, point the water at Celia.
"... I think you want me to hear more about Hart. I don't know about the last life, or the Hurt I've been experiencing in this world. Well, he doesn't usually talk to me..."
Because I can't usually reluctantly ask - and I didn't say it that far, but Celia requested courage on this occasion. Maybe it also affects what I heard earlier about Rio's confession to Miharu.
"Oh, that's something I'd like to hear, too. If this isn't an opportunity, Hart, you're not going to tell me anything."
Shark moon also hitchhikes in the mood.
"My story..."
"It's forbidden to say that it's not funny to do anything, is it? It's up to us to decide that. Whether it's funny or not, I want to hear about Hart."
Rio tried to resign, but Celia covered her words and sealed it.
"Ha..."
And Rio laughs ill. Seeing that, Shark Moon laughs dull.
"Boulder, Hart, you know so well about you. Mr. Celia and I would like to talk about you again alone, Hart. What do you say?
"Yes, I'd be happy to, if you don't mind."
Celia happily accepted Sharon's invitation. Then, in Celia and Shark Moon, Rio will be told stories about his past life and this world. I couldn't refuse it, and Rio was supposed to answer the questions they asked me.
