Episode 190: The Changes Visited
After finishing his meeting with Lieselotte, Rio stayed in the Kingdom of Galark for about a week and returned temporarily to Rodania with Celia and Christina after breaking up with Shark Moon.
Incidentally, Leezelotte has some work for the Ricca Chamber of Commerce and is returning to Amando earlier than the Rio's.
After his arrival in Rodania, he finally decided to start bathing the mansion where Celia lives. Buy the necessary materials in Rodania and start construction.
The fact that materials are being transported into Rio's mansion has become a little rumor, and those who ask whether Celia, who is lecturing the students at the consulate, is also making something, will also be asked by Christina and Flora.
Each time Celia answers, "A little bathroom renovation," but when she heard it, the nobles' interest quickly disappeared, and after that, they were no longer asked in particular.
Rio even pulled into the mansion and worked alone during the day, so he didn't walk outside at all, everything is what Celia told him.
Either way, the construction went well and two weeks went by. One day like that.
"I finally finished my bath. If you even boil water, you can put it in right away."
A short time before sundown, Rio visited Celia and reported that the renovation of the bathroom had been completed. It was Celia, who had just come home from a lecture and was doing research in her study -
"Wow, it is! Thanks, good luck!
I grinned happily when I heard the report of the bath completion and lifted my hips out of the chair.
"Because of this, how about the most bath? You must still be tired today with your lectures and research.
and Rio suggests to Celia.
"I'm happy with that... and it's a very attractive invitation, but I'm fine, so Rio can come in first. He does construction all the time every day, and Rio is more tired and natural."
Celia said like she was in trouble. I'm glad you're acting for me, but those feelings have crept up a lot more complicated, like wanting me to give a little more priority to myself, or I'm sorry I'm just being given, and I wish I could do something for you too.
"I'm fine. When I got home, I got out in the middle of the night and took a bath in a rocky house, so it's not like I haven't had a bath in a long time."
And, says Rio -,
"If you're going to say that, even I had them take me with me... I think Rio has the most bath rights because Rio built the bath alone in this house"
Celia tries to cede the most bath rights to Rio.
"I made it because I wanted my teacher to be happy, and I don't have to shy away..."
"Oh, he said that..."
Celia blushes when she is told she wanted herself to be happy without cowardice. Because I know it's the heart of Rio's words with no lies or lies whatsoever.
Because the next time he leaves Rodania, he will have free time before he returns, so in the meantime he tried to make Celia's life a little more comfortable, so Rio did the renovation of the bathroom.
So now Rio is staying in Rodania just to make a bath, and Celia is taught that she will travel again as soon as the construction is finished.
(I wonder why this kid does so much for me. He admires me because I'm a mentor, but he hasn't been able to repay me in any way...)
More than finished renovating the bathroom, Rio will soon travel again. So I want to repay you a little before I do. That thought came up more and more. So...
"... well, if you say so much, then, do you want to come in with me? Because it flushes my back."
Celia turned her face bright red and said so in an uphill voice.
"... Huh?
Rio rounds his eyes properly.
"Yes, if you don't want to! Ah, Isiah with me! Not a good time for Mr. Angela and Sophie to be awake, though, after the two of them go to bed!
Celia stood up blushing all at once. For once, what Rio built is a tub large enough to be soaked if about five people. It should be noted that Angela and Sophie are the parents and children of servants who work in the Mansion.
"Yep..."
Too sudden to know what to answer, Rio gets stuck in words.
"Heh, don't make a weird mistake! Better than having a bath, Rio's going on a journey tomorrow, right? When that happens, I won't be seeing you again for a while, and, yes, I mean, I'm lonely, and I'm left to take care of Rio, and I want to flush you about your back, or whatever, the..."
Celia talks fast, but gradually she stops talking, lowering her voice to her butt blush.
".................. I'm glad you feel, but my teacher on the boulder is also an adult aristocratic woman, and I don't feel good about showing a man naked to me..."
Rio came up with his best ideas and twisted a common sense answer.
"But of course, I'll roll the towel! Oh, I'll take it when I sink in the bath, so I'll have my back peeled off..."
…………
Words do not appear in the daze, and a brief silence descends indoors. I thought...
"I want to come in with you. Let the three of us in."
Isiah largely materialized and got on with Celia's suggestion.
"Isiah......"
Rio glances at me.
"Celia wants to give back to the Spring Man. But I can't find anything I can do to make you a Spring Man. I should accept your feelings."
The words accurately described one side of Celia's mood.
"Ugh, well, yes..."
Celia confesses in embarrassment following Isiah's remarks. He felt again that he was a kid who seemed blurry and sometimes showed hazy insight. Either way, Rio will be asked to make a decision again. Results -,
".................. ok. If you really don't mind."
Rio looked troubled and shook his head vertically.
"... yes, fine, fine. too, of course."
Take a bath with Rio. Imagining the sight again has embarrassed me immensely, but I can't possibly translate it here or anything. Celia agreed with an upside down voice.
◇ ◇ ◇
And late that night.
"... is that okay?"
Rio wrapped a towel around his waist and stood alone in the mansion's bathroom. After this, Celia and Isiah are supposed to be here soon, too...
"Hey, Isiah! Wrap the towel around your body properly!
Eisia tried to come naked or she's making noisy preparations at the stripper. By the way, Angela and Sophie, who serve the mansion, live alone with their parents and children in a cabin outside the mansion, and security people are tightly guarded outside, so no one will come into the mansion unless they even speak out loud enough.
And then, like a long, short, dozens of seconds go by...
"Oh, thank you for waiting"
Celia and Isiah hid their bodies in a bath towel and came into the bathroom.
".................. Yes"
Rio strays his gaze from the two and replies to a rare and tense feeling.
"... then, because I'll flush my back. Sit in the chair."
Celia was nervous too, she said in a strong voice.
"Yes."
Rio takes a small, deep breath and lowers his back to the bath chair in order to calm his mind. After about a few seconds, Celia and Isiah also walked out, and we found ourselves sitting behind it.
"Serve hot water"
When Isiah takes the bucket, she puts hot water in there with spiritual art. Then take the soap in turn with Celia and wet and foam each hand held mini towel.
"Well, I'll wash it. Tell me if there's something I haven't washed enough."
When Celia says so, she starts washing Rio's back with a gentle hand from the back left. Behind the right was Isiah, who likewise began to wash Rio's back.
…………
Do, waste. It's usual for Isiah to have a low mouth count, but silent time goes on because both Rio and Celia are nervous. But after a while...
"... Rio, if you look closely, you have a discreet wound in your body"
Celia opened her mouth pompously.
"When I lived in Slam Street in my childhood, the wounds, right? Because violence was also a daily tea meal. But thanks to my growth, I'm a lot less noticeable than I was when I was a kid"
I don't even want to speak very vividly, so Rio answers lightly like he thinks nothing of it.
"Yes, what. I hope it goes away..."
Celia gently touched the scar. Even the magic of healing cannot restore wounds that have been completely regenerated.
"It's like there's nothing I can't erase if I use precious psychotropic drugs, but that's okay. Because I really don't care."
"Oh well..."
Celia quietly hammers at what thoughts she put into it. Then the time begins to silently flush back again. It just didn't mean the silence was awkward.
So, after a while...
"This is fine in the back. Do you want to wash before?
And Isiah asks.
"Haha, I wonder before. Because I wash it myself. Wash yourselves both."
Rio laughed a little awkwardly and said no. Though it's wrapped in a bath towel, because when Isiah and Celia came to the front, I seemed to have trouble doing things with my eyes.
"Ugh, yeah."
Celia nods honestly, not to mention washing until before. From then on, each began to wash his body, and Rio began to wash his hair ahead of both of them as well. If you wash your body away with hot water as it is, you will soak it in the hot tub one foot away. And -,
"We're coming in, too, so..."
"I'm turning around"
Celia and Isiah were also to finish washing their bodies and soak themselves in the bath.
…………
Sweet, I can hear you go in the hot water. From there on ahead, Rio stays facing back-,
"That feels good."
"Yes."
"Thank you, Rio. Make me a nice bath."
"Yes."
"Hehe."
Exchange conversations with puffiness. I'm still nervous about being nervous, but I'm not uncomfortable. A few dozen seconds or so, quiet, comfortable time flowed. Isiah meditates her eyes with pleasure and gives herself up to the warmth of hot water.
"We're leaving tomorrow... right?
"Yeah, I thought I'd do that."
"Oh well..."
and so on, and the conversation occurs inadvertently, wondering if silence will continue.
"So we have a magic prop with space magic. The range is short because the demon balls I use are not that big, but it contains magic that calls me from a remote place with a pair of prepared demon balls. I'll give you the real thing later along with a note that says how to use it, so try it in case. If you are far away, you will only waste your magic..."
Rio tells us that this is a good opportunity, the presence of the magic tools that he was taking the time to create.
"Again, such an out-of-consciousness product lightly..."
To the sudden offer, Celia is going to be stupefied. Demon balls are spiritual stones, but they are not artificially created by the human race in the Strahl region. In addition, it is a magic impossible to reproduce in contemporary magic in the Strahl region, such as spatial magic.
By the way, Celia also learns the basic techniques of spirituality, such as the visualization of magic, but not magic that greatly deviates from contemporary magic in the Strahl region.
The reason for this is to prevent any personal hazards that may arise if it is revealed that it can be used. Because if Celia is called a genius sorcerer, she might even use space magic more than Rio if she taught her knowledge.
"Don't show it to people."
"Of course."
Celia replies in a frightened manner. And when you stare at Rio's back with your jito eyes -,
"Come back soon, right? Because I'm waiting."
And I said, pointing my lips just a little bit.
"... Yep. About three months at the most, I think."
Rio gives more or less a guide.
"A maximum of three months... Okay. See you tomorrow, I guess I'll say hello to you for leaving, but go ahead, Rio, Isiah. Be careful."
Celia takes a breath to say hello to the two of them for a lift.
"Yes."
Soft Rio's voice echoed in the bathroom.
◇ ◇ ◇
The next morning, Rio is dropped off by Celia and finally leaves Rodania. After a while on the street east, make sure there's no one around, off the street. Running as it is for a while stops inadvertently -,
"I wonder if I can get around here. I'm coming, Isiah."
I called on Isiah.
(Yeah)
and soon a reply will come from Isiah in a reading. The destination is communicated beforehand, so no further explanation is required. When Rio took the metastatic crystal out of his pocket, he decided to chant a spell.
"Metastatic Magic (Teleport)"
Moment after moment, space distorts vortexically, starting with Rio with metastatic crystals. The destination, of course, is the land where the people who gave this metastasis crystal to Rio live. That is, in the people of the Spirit which is in the Unopened Land. And Rio vanished from the spot in an instant.
◇ ◇ ◇
The scenery changes in an instant. Rio noticed, standing in the woods. In the immediate vicinity is also a fountain that we witnessed when we moved from the region of Yagmo to the people of the Spirit.
"Successful transfer. You can come out, Isiah."
And, when Rio calls, Isiah immediately shows up.
"This is the land where the Spirit people live?
Isiah looks around and asks.
"That's right. In the meantime, shall we go above?"
"Okay."
Thus, the two kicked lightly to the ground and began to float in spiritual art. As he leaps straight up into the air, he looks around.
It should be noted that it was only in the morning that we left over there. I know there's a jet lag, but this one's still sunny. Positionally about lunch or something?
"At first, we'll head to the government building where the elders are. Follow me."
"Yeah."
When Rio discovers a familiar tree used as a government building, he starts moving there. The people inside must also realize that Rio has been transferred due to the enormous runoff of Odd and Mana that occurred at the completion of the transfer, so they may soon bowl in with the pickups.
There were people approaching the government building, on the back of a giant bird, jumping up into the sky. They are all well-known girls. Among them...
"After all, it's your brother!
Rio's sister-in-law, Latifah, was also there. When you discover Rio, it brightens up your face. However, when I discovered Isiah next to Rio, I even blinked my eyes. The faces I'm with are showing the same reaction.
"It's my sister-in-law, Latifah, and Sarah the Silver Wolf Beast, Orpheus the High Elf, and Alma the Elder Dwarf. I'd like you to meet Isiah."
Rio smiled with a nostalgic grin and spoke to Isiah.
"Yeah."
And, as usual, Isiah replies with a voice without discouragement. Then, as soon as they bowl together over the sky...
"I'm home, Latifah. It's been a while since you've all been here."
Rio spoke to Latifah and the others about how he was taken aback.
"... Welcome home. Well, who's so pretty?
Latifah peeks softly into Isiah's face.
"My covenant spirit... it's Isiah. I woke up while I was in the Strahl region."
Rio will tell you about Isiah.
"Dear Isiah..."
Because he saw the high-ranking spirits of the human form, Sarah and the others changed their complexions haha and bowed their heads.
"Let's just stay downstairs. Tell me more about the elders."
We'll explain the situation to the elders anyway, so we'll make the move a priority for now.
"Wow, I get it! Aerial, get off the ground."
Aufia looks a little rushed and gives instructions to descend to her covenant spirit. As he was descending, Latifah was staring at Isiah. Apparently, she's pretty concerned about Isiah, the beautiful girl with her brother.
However, the conversation did not occur because it landed right on the ground. There are a lot of people inside in the square in front of the landed government building, and when they discover what Rio looks like, they are good at "Rio after all". However, when I saw what Isiah looked like with me, I was circling my eyes.
"Are the elders in the government building?
Rio only laughs a little bitterly in the sight of his surroundings, he asks Sarah and the others.
"Yes!... So, um, what I need to tell you..."
It was Sarah, who snorted, but she tried to cut the story out, remembering something. But...
"Dear Rio!
The voice of the young girl echoed from among the people around her. Sounds familiar somewhere......
(... Dear Rio?
Would anyone have called themselves that way? When I thought so and turned my gaze, there were two girls there who rushed to show up, who were out of breath -
"Como... honey? Sayo, too..."
Como, daughter of Gouki, and Sayo, daughter of the village, were standing, who should be in the Yagmo region.
◇ ◇ ◇
Meanwhile, the place has changed. The Strahl region, the Kingdom of Galark. It is just what happened when Rio reached the people of the Spirit.
After Rio's departure from the Kingdom of Galark, Shark Moon was taking action to reunite with Miharu, who was gone without even greeting her with a busy greeting. I could not visit the Kingdom of St. Stella without any prior notice to the boulders, so I had asked King François to send the first messenger on a magical ship...
"Is the messenger back from the Kingdom of St. Stella!?
Sharon rushed to the office of King François when he learned that a demon ship carrying a messenger had returned home.
"Uhm. I'm back"
François has a small, difficult look on his face, and responds to the shark moon with an inclusive narrative. Its hands were gripped by a letter with a gorgeous decoration -
"... is something wrong?
Sharon has a bad feeling and asks with a strange face.
"Along with verbal messages, the messenger brought back a letter. The letter bears the signature of the Kingdom of St. Stella (Kokoji) and Lord Takahisa the Brave, so it is not fake. This is the key letter...... may I tell you what it is?
"... Yes, of course"
To François, who prefaced, Sharon agreed with a stiff trick.
"I got it."
François nods suddenly, reciting the letter in a harsh tone. To summarise its contents...
- Due to the will of the valiant Lord Takahisa-Sendow, at present our country cannot accept the coming of the valiant Lord Satsuki-Smeraghi. I will report back to you as soon as things change, so I waited until then.
and was.
