Volume 5 Chapter 14-2 Tenhou, Ouka, and Senkou, Having a Meeting about the Legendary Secret Teaching
Surely, Fuu Senkou's top priority is to bring peace to the world.
Right now, the 'Golden Feather Syndicate' is stirring up chaos in society.
Taking care of them must be Fuu Senkou's main focus at the moment.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
While I was lost in thought, Shuu-sensei walked into the room.
"I was preparing the Legendary Secret Teaching with Touri. We can do it at my place... is the day after tomorrow alright?"
"Yes, Shuu-sensei."
"Got it!"
"Kō has no issues with that!!"
Shouou, Fuu Senkou, and I clasped our hands toward Shuu-sensei.
"I have a request, Shuu-sensei. Can you check the condition of Fuu Senkou's 'ki'?"
I said.
"Since she just arrived at Hokurin, I'm worried she might still be tired from her travels. She said she's been living a regular life, but..."
"Tenhou-kun's judgment is spot on. I was thinking the same thing."
Fuu Senkou has only mastered the 'Form of the Snake' from 'Beast Body Guidance.'
Since her knowledge is fragmented, it can't be helped.
We need to properly check if it's okay for her to participate in the Legendary Secret Teaching.
"Fuu Senkou, is that alright with you?"
"It's no problem at all. Please check every corner of Kō's body-nanodesu."
"Well then, I'm off to visit His Highness Rouen."
I had been ordered by Crown Prince Rouen to head to the northern fortress.
I need to report that my work is complete.
It had been pushed back due to Tougen Shimei's secret letter.
"I understand. But, Tenhou-kun, I think you know..."
"Yes, Shuu-sensei."
I nodded, making eye contact with Shuu-sensei.
It's best not to mention 'Kiryou's town' and 'Moukou' to Crown Prince Rouen.
Right now, I have no solid proof that Moukou is connected to the 'Golden Feather Syndicate.'
If I were to talk to Crown Prince Rouen in this state... it would cause a huge uproar.
If things go south, it could turn into a story about Ryougen-kun's guest falsely accusing Moukou.
It's better to investigate discreetly first, then report to Crown Prince Rouen.
"I see. So Tenhou-kun understands."
Shuu-sensei nodded as if he read my intentions.
"Got it. Go do your job."
"Thank you. Should Shikei come with me to report?"
"I'll leave the reporting to Tenhou. This time, Tenhou is the messenger, and I'm just the bodyguard."
"Understood."
"Also, I want to talk a bit more with Fuu Senkou."
Shouou smiled warmly as he looked at Fuu Senkou.
"Since we're going to do the Legendary Secret Teaching together, I want to know what kind of person she is and what she values most."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah. It's important to me."
I understand Shouou's feelings.
After all, it's her first time meeting Fuu Senkou.
It's better to know each other before guiding the secret teachings.
"Yes. Kō also wants to talk more with Kaou-sama."
Fuu Senkou nodded with sparkling eyes.
"Kō wants to get closer to Kaou-sama."
"Understood. I'll leave the rest to you."
I bowed and headed toward the exit of the room.
"Well then, Fuu Senkou. Shall we talk?"
"Yes! Kō also has something he wants to ask Kaou-sama!"
"You want to ask me something?"
"In the library, I found a book about the effects of men's clothing on meridians (keiraku). The book said that when a woman wears men's clothes and pretends to be a man, 'ki' can change in various ways. Since I read that book, Kō has been very, very interested!"
"Oh, is there such research?"
"Are you also interested, Gen Shuuyoku-sama?"
"Well, I'm a doctor, you know. But... I didn't know there was such research."
"Kō really wants to confirm Kaou-sama's 'ki' state!"
"I agree."
"Please!"
"Please do, Kaou-kun."
"...Shikei"
I stopped and looked at Shouou.
"Are you still going with me to His Highness Rouen's place?"
I called out because Shuu-sensei and Fuu Senkou were looking at Shouou with really great smiles.
Shuu-sensei is a master of medicine, and Fuu Senkou is a seeker of knowledge.
Both Shouou and I have been thoroughly checked by Shuu-sensei.
If Fuu Senkou joins them... some big trouble might happen...
"Don't worry, Tenhou. Go do your work."
But Shouou nodded with a strained face.
"I have something I want to confirm with Fuu Senkou-kun. Besides, as a friend, I can't get in the way of your work. Leave this to me, and do what you have to do."
"Understood. I'll be back soon."
"Uh, okay. Please do."
Shouou and I locked eyes with serious expressions.
Then I left the dormitory and headed for the palace.
