2nd Rank Has Returned - 2nd Rank Has Returned chapter 278
278 – Two and One-2
In fact, when I was first fired from the Reinhardt family, I resented them in general, regardless of whether it was the Senate or the main family.
Being dishonorably fired from a job he worked hard for was enough to make a young man who had just entered his 20s lose his cool.
But before returning to my hometown, I went on a trip to clear my mind for a while.
‘…If you think about it, isn’t it my fault?’
Once I had time to calm down, I began to reflect on my mistakes.
He jumped into the trap of black magic with his arbitrariness.
He suffered a slump and developed a sense of inferiority after Chris got hurt due to that mistake.
Even the moment I first entered Reinhardt, it was because I was blessed and blessed.
Was it really easy for a 13-year-old mercenary full of slaughter to be incorporated into Reinhardt’s regular squire and learn skills directly from the dark Chris Reinhardt?
Was it really a simple matter for Reinhardt, who resigned in such an unsavory manner, to give him severance pay so that he would not have any financial problems while traveling?
As I wandered the world thinking that, Reinhardt’s hatred for his comrades who had entered the battlefield together had disappeared.
It must have been from then on.
When I started sending letters to Aria.
* * *
“I even used magic tool stationery! Really!”
While recalling his old memories, Leo expressed his own circumstances as if he felt unfairly treated.
She sent a letter using a special letterhead tool used to deliver confidential documents, but doesn’t it make sense that she couldn’t reply?
It was possible to return a letter to the sender by writing a reply on the back of the magic letter.
“It’s not like I can’t reply to that.”
[That may be true, but why are you making excuses like this?]
The wise man picked his nose and accepted Leo’s excuse, but ignored it.
Although the term ‘zomsaeng’ was excessive, other people also thought that it was a bit ugly.
Doesn’t the tone of the excuse seem like an explanation of the situation of her husband who was caught buying golf clubs?
[Then I told you to ask yourself. They say it resonates at a level where you can have a conversation in the first place. Isn’t this the problem she would most like to explain?]
Today, I felt like the wise man really lived up to his name.
If she lays the groundwork for her like this, she will have no choice but to say something, even if it is unfair to Black Aria, who has kept her mouth shut.
{That’s definitely true. Moreover, there are family members who have now separated, so there will be room for conversation.}
Angela, who was a spirit like the Sage, agreed with that opinion and looked at the Holy Sword and Reinhardt’s family in turn.
Because it was a miracle that has never been more touching in this century than seeing a dead person come back to life.
“…Sure…”
Leonardo himself was truly moved and grateful after meeting everyone who had already died.
Black Arias Phil may also change her feelings and attitude after seeing her old family.
“…I’ll give it a try.”
Baek Aria grabbed the handle of her holy sword to persuade her. Although she was able to talk without drawing the sword, she needed to pull it out at least once to check the condition of her holy sword.
Rat…!
An unnatural friction sound, a hard and rough sound like a train with brakes, rang out from the holy sword.
Not only Aria but others could also notice.
“…It’s really like this again…!”
Contrary to the agreement, the Holy Sword and Black Aria were refusing to appear.
Without even asking why, I could tell just by looking at Reinhardt’s immediate family by her side.
“…How about we talk a little? Even if they don’t say it out loud, everyone is worried.”
Not to mention her biological parents, Glradio and Silica, as well as her granddaughter, Marken, who is a fool, her brother and sister, Rios, and Chris, who is dark.
Although it is only the first episode, there is no change in the fact that Aria is their family.
I couldn’t express it directly because the situation was complicated, but there’s no way I wasn’t worried.
Those words rang out from the Holy Sword while being delivered.
It was so loud that not only Leo and Aria, who were qualified as heroes, could hear it, but even other people could hear it.
The level of resonance was already greater than that of the wise men and saints who had already died.
Everyone in the Reinhardt family froze at that icy voice.
Leo and Aria were somewhat familiar, but for a moment the Reinhardt family here doubted whether the owner of this voice was Aria.
The voice was so low-pitched that it was scary to call it Aria.
It was so cold that it reminded me of cutlery in a blizzard.
Although I confirmed that it was Aria’s voice as a sixth sense, it was difficult to think that it was the same Aria as an emotion.
Amidst the stiff silence like thin ice.

“…Someone didn’t show filial piety and got into this situation?”
Leonardo calmly said what he had to say.
It’s clear that he wasn’t lying, but even the wise man couldn’t argue with his overly mood-breaking remarks.
Let’s be blunt and harsh.
<…Well, that’s not what I meant.>
Even Black Ariasviel, who suddenly became an immoral person, barely managed to explain while trembling as if he was slightly embarrassed.
“No, it doesn’t matter. Why are you making such a fuss about being polite? Why don’t you just take it easy instead of being rude? “This is your house anyway.”
Leo treated Black Aria in a tone that was completely opposite to how he usually treated White Aria.
A rough yet easygoing tone at the same time.
To put it in a bad way, it seemed like the way he spoke towards a bad guy, but if he looked at it in a good way, it seemed like the way he treated a childhood friend.
<…It’s not that kind of problem…!>
The black Aria, who had been like a falling wall of ice until just now, was showing her foolishness, melting as hot as ice cream in a fire.
The other Reinhardts, who had been frozen for a while, were also able to confirm that the being in the Holy Sword they were talking about was Black Aria.
Perhaps the power was released, and before I knew it, the outline of Black Arya was revealed as a ghost.
She was wearing black armor and her height was a bit small, but anyone could tell that she was Aria from her actions.
“No, then please explain what the problem is. “I’m already exhausted because my family’s situation has reached the level of world destruction.”
“Why do you insist on only that day when it’s not even a surprise party for your birthday? “You didn’t even explain why that day was important.”
It was just a statement based on facts, but his tone was so informal that you wouldn’t even think of him as Leo.
A tone of voice that is reminiscent of Raynald when he loses his memory.
For some reason, Black Aria and White Aria were shaking at that tone of voice.
For some reason, White Aria feels jealous of Black Aria, who can communicate in that way.
Black Aria trembled because she felt jealous that she came out rough, unlike White Aria.
The reasons were different for each person, but for some reason, the trembling seemed sensual to Leo.
<…I can’t explain it. Since I was in this state, there was no freedom for me.>
Black Aria, who soon regained her composure, resolutely dismissed her offer.
“I’m sorry, but…”
Originally, no matter who asked questions or even if Leo argued with her, she was Black Arya who would go straight into the holy sword.
Seeing the look in the eyes of the person she was asking a question about, Black Aria could not bear to ignore it.
<…Ain.>
Even though she inherited her own dirty blood, there was an Ain who looked at her with pure eyes.
Even though it was her familiar, she couldn’t ignore it considering that she was Leo’s and her own daughter.
“Yes, I am Ain. “I would like to ask you a question at the risk of being rude, but is it possible?”
Intelligent expression and courtesy unlike one’s own.
How could she be born from a mother like this and grow up so beautifully and magnificently?
But I can’t bear to speak gently.
Even in this spirit body, I want to hug her tightly, but I desperately suppress that maternal love.
Anyway, the current Ariasviel is an error and a contradictory entity, and one day it will be deleted from the concept of the world, so we should not give it much affection.
“With all due respect, I don’t know how to distinguish between the two people’s titles.”
With one question, the atmosphere suddenly froze again.
“I would like to wait until January 1st, your birthday, if possible, but I felt it was an urgent matter for me, so I couldn’t resist and asked.”
Although it was a question that could be asked well, no one could answer it.
It was a difficult question that the parents, Leo and Ariasviel, could not bear to answer.
{…What are you going to do! Wise man!}
[There are things even wise men don’t know. Ugh…!]
{Is that what you want to do!? Even though he came back looking old!}
The wise man who raised this small ball-like problem spoke irresponsibly as always.
Angela did not forgive this and punished the wise man by using a joint attack.
It’s just pathetic to see Lumine desperately trying to mediate in this chaos.
<…That…That…!>
“…Ah…Ain…!”
The two Aria, who took this question as a direct hit, were filled with extreme embarrassment.
It seems as if their own ugly thoughts are reflected in those pure eyes without a trace of malice.
‘Honestly, I wish I was the wife and that old man was the wife…!’
<‘In my heart, I wish I could be a stepmom and that little boy be an old mom, but…’>
When their faces were reflected in Ain’s bright eyes, they could not bear to show such obscene behavior and true nature.
“Ah…Ain. “First of all, I’ll tell my dad about this…”
“…No. Father. Understand.”
After about 5 minutes of no one answering this question, Ain was able to understand the situation with his own developed judgment.
“Given that middle-class families also include problems with their parents, especially the Reinhardt family, it is natural that the two of them did not find it easy to answer.”
Even though the situation may be heartbreaking, the child understands it logically.
As part of her family, and especially to Ariaspil, she was truly a dutiful daughter.
“Therefore, from now on, I will refrain from calling Ariasviel as my mother.”
At that moment, regardless of black or white, there was a crack in the existence of Ariasviel.
A feeling of being denied one’s very existence.
It was probably more painful than being ignored by Leo.
Because this wasn’t a problem that could be solved by apologizing.
“..Oh…Why!? There’s no need for that! “Ain!”
The two identical women, who had been growling at each other, seemed to have come together at some point and tried to dissuade their daughter from blaming herself.
To Ain, being called mother infused her soul with the same vitality as having Leo stroke her head.
She did not want to give up that happiness in the arduous situation of having to fight the devil.
“But if you think about it rationally, I am not actually Ariasviel’s child. “The only reason it can be like this is because of the blessings of many people.”
Most people didn’t think that way when they looked at that amazing daughter, but she grew up to resemble Leo, so she had a special talent for rational self-blame.
“Moreover, if you two become pregnant and have children in the future, there is a possibility that Reinhardt will have trouble with the issue of successor.”
It wasn’t entirely wrong, but it was an excessive worry, and even if she wasn’t a minister to begin with, it wasn’t something a child like Ain would have to worry about.
“More than anything.”
For Ain, who has become more emotional, this issue was the most important issue.
“I must prevent discord between the two of you due to my presence…”
“No! “We actually have a good relationship!”
With that one word, White Aria erased all of her hostility and placed her arm on Black Aria’s shoulder. As much as she was a spirit, she was more of a fluttering thing in the air, but she had to do something now.
‘Are you planning on putting a good girl in trouble because of us?’
As the same being, the two Aryas converse with resonance, and Black Arya, who understands each other from emotions to inner thoughts, makes a decision.
<…Well…Yeah. Our relationship is very good.>
Black Aria shoulder-to-shoulder with White Aria with the arms of her ghost-like armor.
A miracle on the same level as regression.
<’The child is not guilty, so I’ll let it pass for now.’>
‘Yes, because we shouldn’t ruin Ain’s emotions by doing this.’
The two Aryas temporarily reconciled with Leo by their side.
“…But it is still difficult to distinguish between the two people’s titles.”
With that one word, a fierce battle of spirit was visible that even the insensitive Leo could notice.
This situation may lead to the collapse of this truce.
“Then let’s divide it into mothers and mothers! How is it?!”
“It would be easy to tell them apart. After all, your father is wise.”
Fortunately, world peace was preserved.
Baek Aria was called mother.
Black Aria was called her mother.
The next day she headed to the Emperor’s Christmas banquet without any major problems.
Later, adult Lumine recalled that this incident greatly contributed to suffocating the devil.
