Chapter 190.3 : And Then, A Change Has Come For A Visit
He called on Aisia.

Yes.

Aisia replied immediately through telepathy. Any more explanation was unnecessary since he had already told her the destination of their journey beforehand. Thus, he immediately took out the Transfer Crystal from his pocket and recited the chant.

「《Teleport》」

At this moment, the space around Rio distorted like a whirlpool, with him in the center. Naturally, his destination was where the people who gave him this transfer crystal were located. ―― The Spirit Folk’s village, deep inside the savage land. In the blink of an eye, Rio vanished from the forest.

◇ ◇ ◇

The scenery around him changed in the next moment. Now, he stood in a forest that looked to be even more abundant and lush than the last one they were in. And just like the time he used the crystal to go back from the Yagumo region, he teleported to the same fountain as before.

「We’ve arrived. You may come out now, Aisia.」

Aisia appeared as soon as Rio called her.

「Is this the Spirit Folk’s village? 」

Aisia asked as she looked around.

「Yeah. Shall we fly out now?」

「Understood.」

Thus, they jumped high and floated in the air using their spirit Arts. As they were floating high up, they looked at their surroundings.

When he had departed from Rodania, it was still morning. However, right now, it was almost noon in Spirit Folks village due to the time difference between the two locations.

「Let’s go meet the village elders first. This way.」

「mmm.」

As soon as they saw the gargantuan tree used for the government office, they flew towards it. By now, the villagers should’ve noticed that someone had just arrived in the village. After all, a colossal torrent of mana always occured after a transfer. And since they knew it was Rio who came, the villagers went as fast as they could to welcome him.

Sure enough, as they approached the government building, some people riding on the back of a giant bird came toward their direction. They were the girls he was familiar with. Amongst them was…

「YAAAY, ONIIII-CHAAAAAAAN! 」
It was Rio’s step sister, Latifa. Her expression brightened as soon as she saw him. However, she looked quite shocked as soon as she saw Aisia’s figure right beside him. Apparently, the other girls reacted in the same way as Latifa.

「She’s my step sister, Latifa. This is Sara-san of the Silver Werewolf tribe. Orphia-san of the High Elf tribe. And Alma-san of the Elder Dwarf tribe. I’ll introduce you to them too, Aisia.」

Rio smiled gently as he said those words to Aisia.

「mmm.」

And as always, Aisia replied with the same monotonous tone. A short moment later, both parties met in the air――、

「I’m back, Latifa. It’s been a while, everyone.」

Rio greeted Latifa and the others. Though, from their expression, it was apparent that they were still in shock because of Aisia’s presence.

「…. Welcome back. Uhm, who is this super beautiful girl?」

Latifa asked as she looked at Aisia.

「She is my contract Spirit… Aisia. She finally woke up from her slumber when I was in the Strahl region.」

Rio explained.

「Aisia…-Sama.」

When they realized that she was a High Ranking Human Type Spirit, Sara and the other hurriedly bowed to Aisia with a pale face.

「Anyway, let’s go down for now. I’ll tell the elders about the details soon.」

Since they also had to report to the elders, they decided to go together to meet the elders.

「U-Understood! Let’s go down, Aerial.」

Orphia instructed her contract Spirit. However, she couldn’t help but have a slightly flustered expression on her face. On the other side, even while descending to the ground, Latifa still sent glances toward Aisia from time to time. She seemed to feel really uneasy about this super beautiful Aisia who came along with her brother.

Despite that though, no one talked until they had landed on the ground. The villagers who gathered in the plaza in front of government office clamored, 「It really is Rio huh.」 as soon as they saw Rio’s figure. Though, they too were left dumbfounded when they saw Aisia’s figure right beside him.

「Are the Elder-samas already inside the government building?」

Rio had a wry smile as his gaze wandered around the plaza, taking in everyone’s reactions. He then asked Sara.
「Yes! …. Ah, could it be that the matter you must tell them is…」

Though Sara nodded as if she understood something, she suddenly stopped what she was about to say as if recalling something else. But, at that moment――,

「Rio-sama！」

A young girl’s voice resounded amongst the villagers. A voice that Rio was rather familiar with. But…

…. -Sama?

Was there someone in this village who would call him with such honorific? He turned around as he tried to remember the owner of that voice. Then, he saw two girls approaching him, looking out of breath at the same time…

「Komomo-…-Chan? Sayo-… -San.」

Before him stood Komomo, the daughter of Gouki, and Sayo, the village girl who should have been in the Yagumo region.

◇ ◇ ◇

Meanwhile, in the Strahl Region – Galwark kingdom, right when Rio had just arrived in the Spirit Folk’s Village.

After Rio departed from Galwark kingdom two weeks ago, Satsuki made her move to meet Miharu as fast as she could. She had been dissatisfied about the way they parted ways and she wanted to confirm the truth in this situation.

However, she couldn’t visit Saint Stella Kingdom without any prior notice. So, she asked King Francois to dispatch a messenger on a magic vessel to send prior notice of her arrival.

「Have the messengers returned from Saint Stella! ? 」

After she heard that the messenger, who was sent by the magic vessel, had returned… she went to King Francois’ office in a hurry.

「Uhm. Yes, they have returned.」

Francois replied with a rather troubled expression on his face. In his hands was a letter adorned with splendid ornaments――,

「….. What’s the matter? 」

Satsuki inquired. But when she saw Francois’ expression, she felt an unpleasant premonition…

「Our messenger returned with a letter and a verbal message. Since this is Takahisa-dono’s signature and the seal is from the king of Saint Stella kingdom, I don’t think this letter is fake. However… May I surmise to you… the point of this letter? 」

「… Yes, please do so.」
Satsuki agreed, voice stiff when she heard Francois’ words that implied that the response they had been given was an unfavorable one.

「I understand.」

After he gave an exaggerated nod, Francois read the letter with an austere tone. The summary of that letter was――、

―― In accordance with Hero Takahisa Sendou’s request, our Saint Stella kingdom cannot accept Hero Sumeragi Satsuki’s visit for the time being. This decision might change depending on the situation, so please wait for our notification.――

This was what was written in the letter.
