2nd Rank Has Returned - 2nd Rank Has Returned chapter 277

277 – Two and One-1

Leo’s hometown was kind.

I was a little suspicious of whether it was a closed society due to the implicit atmosphere I felt in Leo’s tone, but the village of Doron had the appearance of an ideal countryside, more than I expected.

As he said, Chief Anus, who practically raised Leo, was a truly good person.

And as I looked at Leo’s hometown, I thought for a moment.

‘…Wouldn’t it have been better to stay here?’

That day, Leo was talking about memories of the village with a sad face, but a thought suddenly occurred to me.

Looking at Leo’s scarred lips as he smiled while avoiding the rain.

I couldn’t help but think that way as I looked at the wounds that had increased while I was with him.

I still feel sorry to Grandma Anus.

Because I couldn’t make Leo happy at all with my own genius.

[I really like teleportation. My skills improved in just two days.]

The method of returning to the mansion was Leonardo’s teleportation.

In the current situation, we had to save every minute and second of time, so we couldn’t use regular transportation such as trains.

Leo’s circle is only circle 4 on the surface, but his magic skills go beyond the circle standard and he can use all levels of magic in the current era.

If you use the advanced martial arts and magic Aria, group teleportation magic would not even be a task, and Leonardo and his group were able to return right away.

[What on earth did you train for? To be honest, I didn’t expect it to happen like this in two days.]

It was not to ignore Leo and Aria’s training, but even the wise men of the world could not help but be surprised by the current results.

When I returned the mana catalyst to Leo, I was able to fully experience the upgraded core, circle, and divinity as a spiritual body.

“…Well…Just. “After working hard together with Aria…!”

“hahahaha…hehehehe…! Yes!”

It was quite embarrassing even for those who became stronger.

Of course, this is the fastest and most reliable way to grow.

‘…How can I tell you that I became stronger by doing that at night…!’

The inner compatibility was so good that neither Leo nor Had the courage to confidently say that all abilities had improved overall.

If you look at the essential reasons, the qualifications of a warrior and the miraculous anti-centering technique that occurred due to mana-like resonance were the factors.

＜…Never say…Please.＞

The training process was still so embarrassing that even Black Aria humbly asked for secrecy.

[What’s wrong with you? Are you still upset?]

Fortunately, it was an emotional line that was not noticed by a wise man who was at the same level as Leo and had a good sense of emotions.

No matter how wise you are.

No, rather, because he is a wise man, the probability of reaching the truth of training through s*xual intercourse has become infinitely lower.

Leonardo and his wife felt deeply grateful that the wise man was a eunuch.

“You have arrived. He is also my father. “I was able to save several times the time compared to when I flew.”

When the teleportation ended and the scenery changed, Ain expressed his respect with a detailed compliment with an expressionless face.

Despite such praise, Leo could not truly experience his parents’ joy.

“Ah…”

When we arrived at the mansion, what we saw was a group of employees standing in a line.

Because the fierce battle against the Demon King was about to happen, even the knights could not come out, but at least they were able to come out to greet Leo and Aria as many as the untrained employees.

‘…Why is everyone so upset…’

Everyone, regardless of rank, including the butler and maid, was looking at Leonardo and Ariaspil with bright smiles.

Why does a smile that looks proud look sinister?

I just returned from training, so why did I add the word “Blessing” To my greeting?

I hoped it was a coincidence that the head chef, Alfred, who returned from vacation, made sure to include healthful food in his cooking menu.

“…I’m sorry.”

As he looked at Leo and Aria’s expressions ripening and rotting at the same time, Ain ended up apologizing without even realizing it.

You may not be able to hear it, but she comforted Black Aria like that without even realizing it.

She couldn’t help but console the sorrow of her daughter, whom she gave birth to.

“God of pure love!! Congratulations on becoming a brother-in-law!”

Of course, they suffered just as much as Ain and were expected to feel ashamed.

It was a happy despair.

An awkward air was flowing inside the Reinhardt mansion.

In terms of temperature, a subtle cold energy was flowing from the waiting area of Reinhardt’s mansion.

The hot ones were by far the newlyweds, who were sweating with shame and giving off heat and steam.

For reference, Rios looked cold because he was ordered to keep his mouth shut, but he was definitely on the hot side.

“Well… first of all, I won’t say anything about that kind of relationship, so you don’t have to stay like that.”

The person who broke the embarrassingly frozen atmosphere was the former head of the family, Gladio Reinhardt.

Although it was ostensibly retired, the current household heads, Aria and Leo, were unable to do office work due to training, so Gladio was still in charge of the household duties.

To that extent, as the implicit head of the family, he fulfilled his duty to host and facilitate this difficult conversation.

He truly could not be noble.

“Yes, that’s right! “As long as you are good at contraception, you won’t have such a big problem…”

“Puuu…”

“Kerek…!”

It was clearly an encouragement to relieve tension, but at the term birth control, Leo was unusually embarrassed and spit out the tea he had been drinking.

Just as Ariasviel was about to take a deep breath, he felt the air immediately distort.

‘…I keep thinking about the thing I used as a contraceptive (and throwing it away)…!’

Leo and Aria also fully understand the importance of birth control.

Nowadays, it is no wonder that the world turns into a battlefield at any time, so if I were to become pregnant, it would only cause harm to my new baby and to other people.

‘…Leo is now wearing a bracelet… And if you think that’s cheap…’

In particular, Aria could not help but be even more agitated as she saw firsthand the condition of the black stone used as her contraceptive device.

Even though it is covered with equipment, it feels warm and vivid as if it were made raw.

And the method of birth control by sucking out Leo’s vitality as if he were doing it with his mouth was heightening a new lust.

‘…I remembered that we kept doing it even when we were sparring… Ugh…’

Every time the black stone was used with a long sword, Leo’s grandiose ‘thing’ came to mind.

Every time my body touched the pitch-black weapon that had absorbed Leo’s pure white turbid liquid, the climax of the night stimulated my body.

“It wasn’t a problem that was so wrong, so it’s not a problem to make a fuss about now.”

“…Yes?!”

A person so unexpected that even Leo and his granddaughter Aria were taken aback, expressed his opinion amicably about this situation.

“Captain?”

“Grandpa?”

Marken, the leader of the Knights of Execution who would surpass even the wisest of stubbornness, acknowledged this.

“What I said is true.”

Unlike usual, Marken calmly admitted once again, without much dissatisfaction.

“If you don’t intend to make Aria a widow, then it’s pathetic to criticize her for such things. “What I’m saying doesn’t disgrace me either.”

[Unexpected. I thought you would be the most embarrassed.]

Not only the wise man, but also other people seemed quite surprised.

When it comes to Aria, I never imagined that Mark Ken, who was an old man who insisted on the immutability of her gender, would be so obedient.

“I’ve seen worse problems as a parent in the past, so I’m not really embarrassed when I face it.”

“Phew…!”

“Kelluck…!”

After Marken’s convincing explanation, Gladio and Silica seemed agitated and made the same mistake as Leonardo and Ariaspil.

“As expected, Pure Ae is beautiful…!”

“Rios, do it a little in moderation. “If you think about it, we’re in the middle of a relationship…”

It was a sweetness that could be overly stimulating for Rios, who is the epitome of pure love, but fortunately, Ameri, who was next to him, acted as a sedative in his own way as a lover and stopped the runaway love.

[Ah, why are you making such a fuss about salting? My side hurts.]

In the eyes of the wise man, who was single from birth, it seemed like nothing more than an eyesore.

The old wise man clenched his wrinkled lips and clutched his cold side.

{Sage~? Why did you go back to being like that again?}

[Hey! Then, we are going to see the Emperor. Shall we go with that preschooler?!]

{Isn’t it good? As a guardian…}

[Hey, hey! Do not come!! Summer solstice…!]

The wise man, who had sold his right to have her side cold along with her wit, was bickering with Angela and seeing her do the same things he saw as pitiful.

“Over there…”

Lumine, who was the only cool-headed person in this total mess that only the couple knew about, carefully tried to get to the point.

“So, can we get to the point?”

In the first place, the topic of this conversation was to have an audience with the Emperor at Christmas.

This wasn’t a discussion about the pros and cons of Leo and Aria’s s*xual relationship.

“There is a problem that needs to be resolved before I face the Emperor…”

“Ah… Saint Lumine. Well… I still have something left to say.”

“Ah…I see. “Hero.”

When the hero Aria said that, Lumine, without any more hope, decided to give up on this embarrassing conversation.

I tend to do what I have to do anyway, and now I’ve realized that saying things won’t change anything.

“It’s about the Holy Sword.”

“…The Holy Sword?”

Contrary to expectations, when a weighty story came out, Lumine was able to show its colors again.

I know it’s not good news, but it would have been much better for Lumine, a priest and saint, to have raised the issue now.

“…I am now in the Holy Sword and have appeared as a spirit.”

“…Ah…”

Everyone else was shocked and showed their own reactions. Lumine could only utter a short, low exclamation of ‘Ah’.

She thought she was so much better, but she was complacent and despairing.

She despaired once for being a spirit, and twice for being Arya.

The character of Saint Lumine should be praised in that he did not despair or resent anything.

***

As soon as they heard the story about the appearance of Black Arya in the Holy Sword, people’s expressions gradually became more serious.

In the current situation, the threat to the Demon King was a crisis that had to be dealt with, but now that Black Aria’s direct unexpected actions had to be taken into consideration, it could have been difficult enough.

More than that, Reinhardt’s older generation had no choice but to face this problem in an even more dark way.

“…Aria is like that…”

“…Because she is Reinhardt… Because she is a hero, Aria… Like that…”

“…It has become shameful to refer to it as darkness.”

“… I will no longer have the honor of seeing her dead wife.”

Gladio, Silica, Chris, and Marken were so confused that they were unable to properly ridicule or blame themselves.

Even Rios just clenched his hands into fists and trembled without saying anything.

When she heard that her daughter had been transformed into another form, there was no family that would like her.

It was even rarer for her to be able to stand aloof and endure the helplessness of not being able to do anything.

“…What did Aria say?”

“I didn’t really tell the story except for one piece of information. “As if we were keeping it a secret.”

At the word ‘one piece of information’, both Aria, black and white, simultaneously looked embarrassed and averted their gaze.

For Leo, it was a problem that was used as a clue to resolve the misunderstanding about Reinhardt, but from Aria’s perspective, it felt as if she still had that problem in her mind and couldn’t resolve her anger. .

“…That one piece of information…”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Leo.

Maybe this is the only clue that can save Aria in the Holy Sword.

Everyone except Aria had no choice but to ask questions.

“…Aria did not reply even after reading about 200 letters I sent after leaving Reinhardt.”

Leo was serious without any pretense.

Leo’s expression was as serious as if his mother was actually the vessel of the devil.

He gained weight because there was another fact that he deduced from that clue.

Everyone opened their mouths in a mixture of confusion and bewilderment and could not say anything.

[Momsaeng bastard.]

Except for the wise man.

“What?”

The moment when Leo was about to get angry.

[Common sense tells you that you traveled around here and there, even wearing a mask that Rios gave you to impede the perception of superiors, out of fear of being assassinated by criminals who have a grudge against you. How do you respond?]

The wise man made a surprisingly correct point.

“…Sometimes I also sent photos or drawings…”

It was a cowardly excuse.

For the first time, Black Arya felt grateful to the wise man.
