Volume 3 Chapter 15 Kou Tenhou And Gen Touri Head To The Jinkyo Tribe's Land Vi
──After Touri left, the elder said──
"Living a long life has its rewards. At this age, to meet a respected person from a foreign land..."
The elder murmured while adjusting her clothes.
"If someone like that were in the Jinkyo Tribe, we could have stopped Prince Zeng. Now, the only ones by the prince's side are those we can't trust. It's pathetic that we can't get rid of them..."
This village was created to protect the weak of the Jinkyo Tribe.
The decision to build it was made by a king from several generations ago.
For the elderly, the sick, and those born weak who couldn't endure a nomadic life, this village was made.
There was a time when the Jinkyo Tribe faced such struggles.
But now, things are different.
Under the war god Zeng Taiga, the Jinkyo Tribe has become a military nation.
This village has lost its men who could work, as well as its livestock and crops.
They might survive the next winter, but beyond that, who knows?
The elder thinks.
Was Zeng Taiga's birth as the strongest military commander a blessing or a curse for the Jinkyo Tribe?
She wonders if Zeng Taiga has already become a threat to the Jinkyo Tribe.
If that's the case, for the people to survive in the future──
"...I've lived long enough. Now, I must think about how to help the young ones survive."
The elder sighed.
"Also, we need to make sure that Shuu Rikuhou-dono and Gen Touri-dono can return safely. Let's arrange for some guards."
The elder has a wide network.
She knows people who are familiar with the land and those who have free time.
"Here, I should reach out to those with a wandering habit and their families."
Thinking this, the elder called her subordinates.
──Tenhou's Perspective──
""Meow!!""
Touri and I finished our guidance.
The elder lent us a lodging.
Touri and I are in the same place. Reki is staying in the next lodging.
Reki was ordered by Suuki to "sleep by Tenhou-sama," but this time it's difficult. Reki's true identity has been discovered, and since Touri and I are a married couple, we were assigned the same lodging. It would be strange for Reki to stay with us.
So, Reki is in the next lodging, guarding us.
After that, Touri and I decided to do some guidance for our health.
After a few days, we finished our 'Beast Body Guidance' and 'Heaven-Earth Guidance Technique,' and to wrap it up, we did 'Beast Body Guidance' one more time to adjust our 'ki.'
"After all, guidance makes me feel calm."
"Yes, Hou-sama."
Touri and I sat back to back on the floor.
Since we did the guidance carefully, our 'ki' is still connected.
It's better to stay close until we feel calm.
After doing the 'Heaven-Earth Guidance Technique,' we are in our underwear.
So, when we press our backs together, I can feel Touri's body heat directly.
Her slightly sweaty back is warm, and I can tell that 'ki' is flowing smoothly.
It seems like Touri's old injury is almost healed.
"Hou-sama"
"Yes, Touri-san."
"Touri seems to like calling Tenhou-sama 'Hou-sama.'"
"Is that so?"
"So, after we return to Hokurin... can I call you 'Hou-sama'?"
"Sure. Call me whatever you like, Touri-san."
"...I want you to call me just 'Touri.'"
"Huh?"
"I want you to drop the honorific. Since I will keep calling you 'Hou-sama,' you should call me 'Touri' too."
Touri's body heat rises again.
I nod,
"Got it. Touri."
"Yes, Hou-sama."
Still back-to-back, Touri touched my hand.
"And... I want to see Hou-sama's body properly."
"Huh?"
"...Ah."
Touri's body suddenly feels hot.
"N-No! That's not it! It's a mistake!! I want to examine Hou-sama's body! It's a request as an apprentice traveling doctor!!"
Shaking her slender back, Touri raises her voice.
"I've traveled all the way from Hokurin, so... there might be some fatigue deep in my body! That's why I want to check Hou-sama's 'ki' and the state of your meridians. I mean no harm!!"
"I-I understand. No need to rush."
"...Ugh."
"I trust your skills, Touri. So, it would really help if you could check me."
"Yes! Leave it to me!"
"I'm sorry for only having you check me. If I had medical knowledge, I could check you too, Touri."
"...That's true."
For some reason, Touri whispered,
"I also want Hou-sama to look at me more..."
"...Huh?"
"I-I made a mistake! I want you to check the state of my body's 'ki'! I mean no, no, no harm!!"
"O-Okay. Then let's do the guidance carefully."
"Y-Yes! I'm so happy!"
Touri turned back over her shoulder.
"When we do the 'Heaven-Earth Guidance Technique,' Hou-sama and I can become like one tree. Becoming one with Hou-sama is... very happy for me."
Saying that, Touri smiled.
Then, Touri carefully examined me──
After that, we continued the guidance together until we got sleepy.
