2nd Rank Has Returned - 2nd Rank Has Returned chapter 254

254 – Thoughts-1

Once excitement begins, it gets hot without knowing the end, but it quickly cools down the moment it ends.

Even as his parents’ screams slowly rang out as thoughts, Leonardo, who had regained his composure, was proving it.

{…First of all… We have taken steps as a sanctuary to prevent the Demon King from hearing this conversation.}

Angela put her hands together in prayer and spread her angel wings, fluttering her feathers.

Even though Lumine feathers were added to create a physical barrier, it can be seen as a deity.

It cannot be compared to the ‘Red Sanctuary’ that Leonardo hastily built through the use of holy blood. Even without logical analysis, the light that cannot help but be thought of as ‘holy’ is formed into a sanctuary.

“…Thank you. “Thanks to you, I calmed down a little.”

As the connection to the Demon King weakened, Leonardo regained stability.

The demon king’s thoughts and my mother’s screams that continuously echoed in my head had subsided, so I had at least some room to calm down.

“I’m sorry… I should have calmed down and thought about it…”

[…You need to calm down, but it’s something you can’t do.]

Unlike other times, the wise man did not reprimand Leonardo.

It is nothing but hypocrisy to tell a child who has searched for years and decades to calm down after hearing the screams of his own mother, whom he was convinced was already dead.

“…What did the devil show you?”

Ariaspil didn’t offer any consolation and got right to the point. Rather than caring about Leo’s feelings, I was concerned about his feelings, so I had to move on to the main topic.

‘…Rather, the more I care, the more Leo becomes…’

You just force yourself to show that you are okay even though you are showing your emotions.

So perfect that even those who are worried are fooled.

Therefore, you should also worry accordingly.

Definitely solve the essence of the problem.

“…All the devil showed was his position. No, it might be wrong to say he showed it.”

Not only did I not see it with my eyes, but I didn’t even feel like I had seen it with my visual senses.

It felt like the homing instinct of a salmon to return to its homeland, and even more than that, the sense of a pre-sea pigeon knowing its destination was engraved in my body.

“…Maybe I’m already a demon lord…”

“That’s not it!”

Ariasviel, who thought that he would not offer clumsy consolation, had no choice but to give up on that decision.

But before comforting someone, he wanted to refute facts that were wrong.

Aria was the person who wanted to prevent Leo from taking all the responsibility and being overwhelmed with guilt.

“Leo is the devil, that can’t be possible! “He looks like a warrior and has more qualifications than me, who is a warrior in the first place…!”

For some reason, the holy sword was shaking along with the rebuttal. These emotions and thoughts resonated with me passionately, as if I sympathized with them.

“It’s so amazing, so lovely, kind, and wonderful, but it’s hard to believe that he’s the devil!!”

“…”

It is a good consolation, but why does the subtle emotional bias seem to be stronger towards ‘love’ than ‘encouragement’?

Some people will agree that ‘Aria’ is the answer.

[At this point, the person who is embarrassed is not paying attention.]

The oblivious wise man said so, but Leo was not particularly interested and just stared at Aria blankly.

It was fortunate that he didn’t blame himself, but Leo’s eyes were extremely focused on Aria.

I gave all my attention to Ariasviel, who comforted me so deeply that I thought I was hooked.

“…As expected, it’s good.”

“Yes…Yes!?”

At the surprise confession of love, Ariasviel’s face became even more excited and red to the point where sweat was rolling down.

Most people were equally embarrassed and couldn’t say a word, but some people who loved Sunae expressed their own admiration or smiled.

“…I appreciate the confession…But…In a situation like this…No, rather, it is because of this situation that I make such a confession…”

“After all, it’s better not to use polite language.”

Everyone frowned at Leonardo’s statement, which was exactly contrary to their expectations.

I didn’t really point it out because of the situation, but everyone felt like hitting their own forehead and Leo’s forehead hard because of this frustration.

“Thank you. Aria. “I like it because it’s honest rather than being shy and polite.”

“…Shall we speak informally from now on…?”

Ariaspilman was not disappointed by Leo’s insensitive attitude.

When I didn’t know about his regression, I wasn’t surprised as he had experienced more than this during the time when he was intensively bombarding Leo with affection.

Rather, omitting the honorific title was a great reward for me, so I was grateful.

“Then. Please feel free to speak to others as well. “No matter how much I hear about it, I can’t get used to your respect.”

Leonardo stood up and smiled, as if wondering when he had become excited and depressed.

Although he was acting, he even showed his own composure in his smile.

“…But that…”

“I almost made a mistake in the first place. “If we had made a mistake, the destruction of the world could have occurred.”

Although there was some leeway and exaggeration, he had no room to refute.

If Leonardo had been excited and headed alone to the base, it was obvious that he would have been used as a vessel.

If the Demon King gains the power to completely intervene in this world, even if the world is destroyed, it will not be treated as an exaggeration.

“We both did something wrong, so let’s just shrug it off like this. “Is this a bad offer?”

“No, it doesn’t matter.”

Marken, who punched the excited Leo, accepted the offer without hesitation.

It was an optimal condition for Leo, who looked young and was physically in his 20s, and there was no need for the elderly Marken, who was unfamiliar with honorifics, to refuse.

“…I’m glad you’ve gained more energy than that.”

Even if it wasn’t just that, it was enough to feel fortunate and thankful that Leonardo had regained his vitality.

“As this is an important juncture, we should not be discouraged. And.”

Leonardo looked back at Ariaspil and smiled quite comfortably.

Today wasn’t the first time that Aria looked so reassuring, facing her firmly with her red face.

But this is definitely the first time I feel as strong as I do today.

“Because my lover promised to stop me at all costs. So how could you hesitate? “As lovers, we have to trust each other.”

It was an unfamiliar sound.

It was so embarrassing that I had nothing to say even after hearing the word cringe.

Leo himself, who spoke directly, looked at Aria’s eyes with a slight blush on his face, probably because he was somewhat embarrassed.

The wise man tried to make a blunt jeer without notice, but before Ain could step forward, he was silenced by Angela’s voluptuous hug.

In that silence,

“…H…Aria…?”

Ariasviel was completely frozen without any reaction. She said nothing, her skin completely flushed like a red giant.

“…Thank you…I’m happy…”

“…Ah, ah…What…Don’t startle me. “I really wondered if there was another problem.”

When Ariaspil answered like that, Leonardo immediately seemed relieved and continued the conversation comfortably. Other people were also relieved to see Aria showing a surprisingly stable response.

There were even people who were preparing a strategy to deal with Leo, who had become the devil, out of concern that he would abandon reason and run away in love and lust.

[…Ha… I was really cold… Really…]

(Ah… It’s against the rules to be that cool.)

[…Uh…?]

The wise man felt reassured by Aria and then looked around her in confusion.

It was clearly Aria’s voice, but her resonance was subtly different, and Aria never opened her mouth in the first place.

(It’s so lovely I want to hug it…)

{…What…What?! Ghost…?!}

Like the wise man, Angela was taken aback by the sounds echoing around her. She couldn’t let down her guard, even though, in her opinion, she was no different from a ghost.

(Or the devil’s trick…?!}

Because there was a possibility that her own sanctuary had been breached.

She was clearly maintaining her self-created sanctuary in the most stable form. Even if the devil himself came, the sanctuary was surrounded by a divinity that would serve as a shield.

Nevertheless, the mysterious voice was still echoing around.

Ain, who is connected to the wise man in a rechargeable form to deal with unexpected situations, said so.

As he was moving with accumulated mana, no conversation or sound was flowing to Leo at all.

{Spirit…? But why did the spirit suddenly…?}

Perhaps because of this, no such sound was heard in this place where high-ranking wizards were present, without being caught in Angela’s sanctuary.

However, the disembodied Sage and Angela, as spirits, were able to sense the small voices of the spirits.

As a familiar, Ain, who was connected to such a wise man, could also hear the voices of spirits. In some cases, spirits could also be placed as familiars, so inspiration was even better than genius.

[I guess it’s because of Aria’s training…?]

(Put his face into Leo’s chest and sip it and sip it…)

Ariasviel’s voice radiating lust was the evidence.

As a wise man who knew a little bit about Aria’s training, he expected these side effects to some extent.

It was a better phenomenon than a spirit that had grown entirely from mana being swayed by emotions and going on an aggressive rampage.

(I want to bury my face in Leo’s abs and wash it with drool and sweat like laundry…!)

(I want to kill the Demon King and get pregnant right away! Get f*cked! Get f*cked! Get f*cked a lot by Leo…! hehehe…)!

In other words, the runaway was just severe.

Even now, Ariasviel’s face was as red as a heated iron plate.

Although reason was barely activated and the language ability was working, the instinct latent inside Ariasviel was spewing out as mana and intoxicating the spirits with s*xual desire.

[…Uh…Should I tell you this?]

{How?}

If this tragedy were explained in this situation, not only would the atmosphere be broken, but it was questionable whether Ariasviel’s mentality would survive.

No, there is no question.

[If we tell them, won’t they choose death?]

{Suicide is an act that must be strictly rejected in doctrine.}

[Then, are you really going to faint and die from shame?]

If they did it themselves, they might just stop by jumping out of a window or committing seppuku with a holy sword, but it was obvious that if Ain, his own daughter, spoke, her heart would immediately paralyze with shame.

It was much safer and healthier to hold on until the emotions subsided.

(I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you…!)

But it was a serenade of obsession that was too difficult to endure.

[…Let’s just say it. I think I’m really going crazy…!]

“…Uh…Mr. Aria…?”

While Sage, Angela, and Ain were secretly chatting, Leonardo opened her mouth first.

Leo, whose title had been subtly changed to an honorific for some reason, slowly approached Aria, who had not yet cooled down.

The closer you get, the closer you get.

(I want to do it, I want to do it like a meat toilet, I want to do it as a s*x slave, I want to do it like crazy…!)

The voices of the spirits containing Ariaspil’s thoughts resonate even more stimulatingly.

The sound is so strong that it’s surprising that other people don’t hear it at all.

Eventually, I got closer to Aria, and reached a distance where I could almost hear her breath.

“…Aria…”

Leo brought Aria’s gaze closer to her, gently touching her forehead.

“…Is there something wrong with my body? “It’s hard to say I have a fever because I’m excited because I’m also thinking about the side effects of my recent training…”

“…hehehehe…”

Thump…

Aria touched her forehead and slammed into the ground, her worries in vain.

“…Aria…?!”

No, not exactly…!

“…I’m sorry…!”

Kwaang…! Ariasviel, who almost crashed into the ground with that sound, stood up while holding on to the holy sword.

“…I started to hesitate a little more and lost my concentration…!”

Aria Spiel looked at Leo while holding his holy sword in both hands. The holy sword stuck in the floor supported Aria’s body without resistance.

Sequentially, thoughts erupted and the spirit’s rampage died down.

“…I will stop it as I promised…! No matter what happens…!”

“…Yes… Thank you always. Then, I will continue with the plan. So, first of all, go back to my hometown…”

Leonardo was so relieved that he was concentrating on plans and strategies, so he missed two things.

“…Haa…Haa…”

Ariasviel’s heart-shaped pupils were now looking coldly at the holy sword.

For some reason, the Holy Sword’s entire body was trembling with shame and anger.

The two Ariasviel looked at each other and made up their minds.

Of course the Demon King must be killed, but we can never give up Leo to a pervert like that.

The subjects resonated with each other and emitted their lust towards the spirit.
