Volume 5 Chapter 14 Tenhou, Ouka, and Senkou, Having a Meeting about the Legendary Secret Teaching
"Yes! We're going to have a secret guidance session. I'm so excited!!"
With sparkling eyes, Fuu Senkou nodded.
This is one of the guest rooms in Ryougen-kun's mansion.
Fuu Senkou, who was called from the library... or rather, dragged out, is looking at us with a shy expression.
In the room are me, Fuu Senkou, and Shouou.
Shuu-sensei is at the dormitory, meeting with Touri-san.
It's to discuss the 'Heaven-Earth Guidance Technique' of the Legendary Secret Teaching.
Fuu Senkou in front of me looks lively.
She's rubbing her eyes as if fighting off sleep, but her complexion is good.
Her skin is also glowing.
It seems she has been managing her daily life well.
"Kō-san, you've been eating properly, right?"
"Yes. Yuuri-sama arranged it for me."
"Are you getting enough sleep?"
"Yuuri-sama prepared a bed for me in the library!"
"As for your sleep time..."
"It's fine, really. Yuuri-sama came to check on me 3 times a day."
...Isn't Yuuri-sama spoiling Fuu Senkou a bit too much?
"Yuuri-sama wanted to hear about Kō and the town of Toukaku."
Blowing on her hot tea, Fuu Senkou said.
"We talked a lot about Kō, my parents, Uncle Heki, Uncle Shuu, the 'Hidden Five Gods,' and the battles with them."
"So Yuuri-sama has visited Kō-san many times..."
The incident in Toukaku is related to the downfall of the Chou Family.
For Chancellor Ryougen's son, Ryougen-kun, and his daughter, Yuuri-san, it's an event not to be missed.
That's why Yuuri-san wanted to hear all the details from Fuu Senkou.
And while she was at it, she might have arranged for a living environment to be set up.
"Yuuri-sama, I told you about how Kō was a mixed bag who had learned guidance. Then, she introduced me to books about guidance. She even prepared a room next door where I could practice guidance. Thanks to her, Kō was able to secure the perfect environment of 'reading,' 'guidance,' 'eating,' 'reading,' 'eating,' and 'sleeping.' I really want to live here forever!"
"Kō-san"
"Yes, yes. Kou Tenhou-sama"
"You mustn't forget your duties, right?"
Fuu Senkou seems to be having quite a bit of fun.
As someone who introduced her to Ryougen-kun, I should make sure to drive the point home.
"Yuuri-sama has prepared this good environment for you, Kō-san, so that you can be of service as His Highness the King's younger brother. You mustn't forget that you are a guest of His Highness the King's younger brother."
"Of course, I understand!"
Fuu Senkou thumped her chest with a "thump."
"A member of the Fuu family never forgets a favor received! Kō intends to repay His Highness the King's younger brother and Yuuri-sama properly. To gain that strength, I want to join the Legendary Secret Teaching's guidance method. So let's..."
"We're not doing it right now, are we?"
I stopped Fuu Senkou, who had started to undo her belt.
Fuu Senkou is making a face like "Eh?" and puffing up her cheeks.
Good grief.
She's truly a block of curiosity.
Fuu Senkou is.
"That's how it is, Shikei. Fuu Senkou-sama is that kind of person."
I turned around and looked at Shouou.
"She's passionate about research and loves books. She used that knowledge to help us take down the 'Hidden Five Gods.' Thanks to Kō-san's advice, we were able to reach the enemy boss."
"...I see."
"That's why I recommended I'mKō-san to Your/His Highness the King's younger brother."
"We borrowed the library to help her expand her knowledge, right?"
"Eventually, I hope Senkou-san will become a strategist."
"I see... Tenhou recognized Fuu Senkou's talent. That's why she brought her to Hokurin..."
Shouou pressed her chest and sighed.
"That makes sense. Tenhou is good at spotting people's talents. It was also Tenhou who recognized Touri-san's talent and made her a guide. So, Fuu Senkou-san is like Touri-san... Huh? Wait, is she going to be like Touri-san too...?"
"Shouou?"
"N-no, it's nothing!"
Shouou shook her head in a flustered manner.
Then she looked at Fuu Senkou and said,
"Sorry for the late introduction. I'm Tenhou's senior disciple. Here in this country, I go by Sui Kaou. I'm dressed as a boy, but I'm actually a girl like you. My real name is Sou Ouka. Nice to meet you, Senkou-san."
"Y-yes. Nice to meet you!"
Fuu Senkou clasped her hands towards Shouou.
"I thought there was a beautiful man here... but you're dressed as a boy. It's an honor for you to reveal your true identity on our first meeting."
"...The 'Heaven-Earth Guidance Technique' from the Legendary Secret Teaching is done without clothes, you know. Even if you hide your gender, it will be obvious when it comes time for guidance..."
"...That's how it is, huh?"
"But, I would appreciate it if you could keep my true identity a secret."
"I understand. Even if I'm branded, I'll keep quiet!"
"You don't have to go that far!?"
"I-I'm sorry. I read something like that in a book earlier..."
"I-I see."
"Yes..."
"You really love books, don't you?"
"Yes! For Kō, gathering knowledge from reading books is the third most important thing in the world!"
"I see. So, the most important thing is to utilize that knowledge?"
"That's the 4th."
"What's the second?"
"Family!"
"Ah. Family is important. So, what's the most important thing?"
"That's something I recently discovered. So, it's a secret."
Fuu Senkou blushed deeply and placed a finger on her lips.
...It must be what Fuu Senkou cherishes the most.
I can kind of guess what it is.
Fuu Senkou had mentioned it many times in the game 'History of Swordmaster.'
"For Kō, the most important thing is to create a world where everyone can live in peace. Until the world is at peace, I have no intention of getting lost in love or romance!"
──she said.
