2nd Rank Has Returned

Derailment Frenzy-1

After yesterday’s commotion, Leonardo left the room with a refreshing expression.

I slept well after a long time, and my fatigue was relieved, so I needed to enjoy the rest of my vacation.

[Are you going to play?]

＜I spent the most of the vacation I had saved, but there should be days off.＞

Wouldn’t it be a bit disappointing if what you do in this mysterious city is to stay in the corner of your room and only study magic.

There should be something to enjoy in this way.

[Then will you take Aria with you?]

＜That’s right. Because the young lady must also have a day off.＞

Ariaspil was also skilled in elemental techniques, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a break in the sense of a prize.

[After that, let me ask you one thing. I feel bad, but I have to do this.]

＜You are talking as if you never caught it.＞

[That’s true, but it’s a different weight dude.]

The sage asked with a serious expression.

[What happened in your previous life?]

＜…＞

It was a question I thought would come up someday.

He just changed his words, and the sage noticed his actions and took care of them.

It was a question I had to face at some point.

[You don’t have to answer now. Answer me tonight or so. I have to organize my thoughts.]

＜…Yes, I will definitely answer you.＞

Having made that promise, Leo went outside.

[But do you know where Arya is and look for it?]

＜It must be in a suitable place.＞

[Is that the explanation?]

Hearing such rants, Leo calmly pointed to a distant building. It was a restaurant in the tower with wide windows.

＜There it is.＞

[What kind of detection dog are you? How to find Ariaman with pinpoint?]

＜What is a detection dog? detection dog.＞

Speaking of being a detection dog, isn’t he like Ariaspil’s pet dog? He is definitely an Arya knight.

“I might as well have a meal on the way.”

It’s late in the morning and I haven’t eaten breakfast, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try it at the cafeteria.

[Is matop rice worth eating?]

＜The price is cheap and the quantity is large.＞

If they didn’t even give him a proper meal, the graduate students had nothing to say, even if they started a group riot. If you don’t give them food, even soldiers will shoot their superiors to death, so what’s the difference between being a student?

“Ah, Leonardo-kun.”

A graduate student exhausted from slavery waved to Leo with a healthy expression. If it weren’t for the ring, the orange juice I’m drinking now would have been either a caffeine concentrate or a recovery potion.

“good morning. miss.”

What Ariaspil was eating was a breakfast set consisting of sausage and scrambled eggs.

“uh? uh…! Good morning!”

Arya turned her face away with a bewildered expression and concentrated on her meal again. But when she saw the thick, long sausage, she made a more embarrassed expression.

＜Why are you like that? Doesn’t it taste good?＞

[It’s too big and thick so it doesn’t fit in one bite.]

It was a plausible explanation, but the tone and expression he spoke was very suspicious. But he didn’t open his mouth because he was pathetic to be suspicious.

“I’ll have to study or eat.”

“Then there is a special meal today, would you like to eat it?”

Looking at the side of the menu, a special dish with plenty of bacon and sausage stood out.

“Oh, that’s good. Then I will go to order.”

Having said that, Leo got up from the table and walked as ordered. In addition to meal tickets, Matop Restaurant accepts cash as well, so Leo was able to conveniently order and eat.

“here…”

“there…!”

As soon as I had ordered it, a girl approached Leo. Then he said with a trembling voice and face.

“divination…! If it’s okay with you…would you like to have dinner with me…!? Having a cup of tea…!”

At that word, the crowded restaurant became quiet in an instant. Everyone who saw the work in the library had already seen it, and the rumors spread as quickly as they could.

It meant that the formula that Aria and Leo were lovers had long since been established.

But I couldn’t help but be astonished to do such a reckless act.

“…here… Miss Ariaspil…?”

Ariaspil, who established the formula, looked at the unpleasant sight and grabbed the knife.

Ameri trembled like a small animal in fear as she looked at the poisonous eyes and the knife cut with flesh.

‘…I will refuse anyway. Last time, I didn’t even go to the magician on the fire…!’

After a moment’s silence, Leonardo looked at her trembling and answered.

“It’s just before ordering, so it’ll be fine. I have a party, so I’ll tell you. Would it be okay?”

Whoop, whoop!

Arya answered that for some reason, and started hacking the sausage in the bowl with a fork. The long, thick skin of the sausage burst and the meat pieces splashed around the bowl.

Leonardo said so and went back to the table with Arya and the others.

“Aria, I’m sorry, but can I stop by somewhere else for a while?”

“Uh…! Of course not…!”

Juice burst out as the fork pressed the sausage down. Now it was a piece of meat that was hard to even call a sausage.

“Leonardo, if you really want to…! Of course I won’t disturb you…! of course…!”

It looked like it would explode if anyone looked at it. The juices on the knife and fork in both hands were mistaken for blood.

“Thank you for your consideration. I will be back soon.”

“That… uh… huh?”

Ariaspil couldn’t hold on to Leo, and bit until his lips turned blue.

Watching this, Leonardo went out of the cafeteria.

***

[Are you okay? It’s really like this…]

＜Can’t you feel anything when you look at that person’s expression?＞

At a table outside the cafe, Leo and the girl ordered food and drinks and sat down.

The girl must have been too nervous, and her legs trembled and her fingers twitched in vain. His expression was too pale or his gaze was not even as if he had a disease.

[…why is he really like that? Are you that good?]

＜…it would be better if that was the case.＞

Leonardo looked around with a confused expression.

＜…two… no, three?＞

The gaze is constantly directed towards this place.

You get a rough idea of who the two are, but the problem lies with the other.

[what? What?]

＜Please be quiet for a moment. I can’t answer you anymore.＞

In response to that, Leonardo focused his attention on the girl in front of him.

“By the way, I didn’t ask for your name. What is your name?”

The girl opened her mouth with trembling eyes.

“My name is Irina Ritei…”

“Are you trembling too much? Irina, are you really cold?”

With those typical words, Leo lightly touched her hand. In a way, Leo had no choice but to force himself to perform an act that he felt would be rude, a physical contact that he would not normally do.

＜Who gave you instructions?＞

This was because the sound produced by the auror could be transmitted without leaking to the outside only by physical contact.

“…that woman…! Leo…!!”

“Leonardo-kun…?!”

Arya and Ameri, spying from afar, had no choice but to misunderstand, but that was a problem to be resolved later.

“yes…!?”

＜Calm down. This conversation is inaudible to the outside like telepathy. There is no magic circle, so you won’t be detected in that direction.＞

The wise man on the other side swallowed his admiration inwardly. She was trembling, not because of shame or embarrassment, because Leonardo knew as soon as he saw it.

‘…because it’s such an obvious strange situation.’

It’s understandable that it’s just making a meal suggestion. Because it is difficult to find a causal relationship when a person has a crush on a person. But to say that, her behavior was clearly questionable.

Common sense is that personal appointments are made in places with few people, but now he approached Leo too rigidly. As if instructed by someone.

Even if a person does not consider it, if the proposal is favorably made by the other person, even if it is embarrassing, they tend to focus on that person.

‘But that woman looks so embarrassed. You could say I was terrified. Normally, it can be moved to shy, but when you check it out like this, from the reaction… it seems like you hit it in a bad way.’

As it was with that reasoning, Irina Ritei did not deny it.

＜Even now, the person who ordered must be monitoring us. If you respond verbally or in writing, you will be killed immediately, right? If yes, scratch your left cheek. Or the other way around.＞

She was a little perplexed by those words, and then, as instructed, scratched her left cheek.

[…as instructed? A date…?]

The culprit’s purpose was clear, and the identity of the culprit was known roughly.

Perhaps, based on her attitude and reaction, it should be seen that she is a victim involved in this case rather than an assumption that she is a gangster.

＜Are you the one who wants to kill me? If it is, pull out the paper napkin and drop it, otherwise just pull out the napkin and drop it.＞

She slowly pulled out the napkin and slid it down.

“Hey, I’ll pick it up.”

With those words, Leo naturally let go of his hand and walked towards the floor. Then he placed a hand on her shoulder, giving him a napkin.

“Can I cover you with your coat? My hands were very cold.”

＜Are you the only hostage? Or are there more? Please answer yes or no this time.＞

Irina trembled for a moment, then opened her mouth.

“Yeah…”

“okay.”

The worst was avoided. If there were more hostages, I would not have been able to solve it alone.

Reassured a little, Leo put the robe on Irina’s back.

‘The black stone is as thin as possible…’

A part of the black stone bracelet was transformed into the thinnest and thinnest thread possible and hung on the outer garment. Perhaps the enemy is observing to kill himself from a distance, so he will not notice this thread.

＜Do not take off your coat. The thread attached to the clothes will act like a thread phone.＞

It may not be audible if it is a simple sound, but the black stone with high Auror’s conductivity was enough to be able to secretly talk to her if it was her skill.

＜Is there only one person who instructed? Or is it a majority? If it is one person, pull the clothes to the left shoulder, otherwise pull the clothes in the opposite direction.＞

The left shoulder dance was posted, and the situation itself was suboptimal. A majority would be just as disadvantageous as having more hostages.

＜What’s next? After you summoned me, there must have been instructions.＞

Actually, dating was just one of the ways I was instructed, and it wasn’t that important.

If she’s in the tower, she’ll probably have one or two more means of bringing her back.

The problem was that it was important to figure out the instructions for Lee Daum’s next move, in order to find a way to live with this woman.

＜Answer this time with a drink. Do not drink after meals, and if any of what I said is true, raise your glass and drink.＞

Meanwhile, food and tea came. Leo casually ate breakfast and started asking questions.

＜The place goes to a hidden place, but is it you who decide the location?＞

Irina ate her food as calmly as possible without holding a drink. It looked like he was chewing on a stone, but there was no time to worry about it.

＜Is there a designated alley, room, or place like that?＞

With that said, she held up her drink and drank the tea with difficulty.

＜I see. Then, from now on, please move me according to the instructions.＞

She looked at Leo with bewildered eyes. Eating food unnaturally was a bonus.

“The food is delicious. It’s a good cafe. I really enjoyed the meal.”

“If you don’t take me now, you will die. First, take me to the designated place, and I will deal with the enemy. In the meantime, you should ask the security guard or the people around you for help.＞

Combining the information so far, it was the best way Leo could come up with.

If this method did not go wrong, it was a means for both of them to live.

“Shall we go a little faster?”

“…yes?”

＜If you go too slow, you will be more suspicious. The attack was expected, so counterattacking is not difficult.＞

With those words, Leo reached out to her. This was to prevent her from dying when the opponent attacked.

“Let’s go.”

Irina and Leonardo started running like lovers in a play.

Through this, Arya’s party missed the spying, and the pursuer could more comfortably aim for a chance to assassinate.

And as I entered the alley, a dark road with a blocked passage was revealed.

＜Seduce me as naturally as possible. A kissing posture would be good.＞

The enemy will then attempt a surprise attack for assassination.

“there…”

Irina leaned Leo against the wall, closed her eyes, and opened her mouth. If you don’t know what’s inside, it’s a pretty romantic situation.

Kaang!

The man wearing the hood, not missing that moment, swung his sword and tried to decapitate Leo the second time.

If Leo had not turned the black stone into a dagger to block it, the heads of the two men and women would have been removed from their bodies and connected to each other.

“Is it you? This division was created.”

Leo pushed Irina out of the alley and threw a round kick at the hooded man. The sound and sensation of fractures, and Leo’s counterattack, the soft tissue that connected the head and spine was crushed.

“Great!”

“Go ahead and do what you are told. Irina.”

At Leo’s instructions, Irina was astonished and ran out of the room.

As if it was more comfortable, Leo stretched out the dagger and changed it into a long sword.

“You must have something to do with the last train case and this time with the disappearance case. I know he’s not dead. So let’s talk slowly at the Mato Tower Security Bureau.”

“…they still play shallow numbers on the subject of commoners.”

At this time, Leo felt a little bit of a twist in his expectations. No matter how much a warlock was, if his training was broken, his language ability would be paralyzed and he would have trouble breathing.

[…that bastard… not a warlock.]

As the sage said, the enemy in front of him could not be called a warlock. If that was the case, it would have been more convenient to kill them with a curse or ejection type black magic.

“Have you forgotten me? I haven’t forgotten your face in two years.”

The man took off his hood and said. When the hood was removed, a familiar face was nestled inside.

It was the first time I’d seen a scar that looked like a severed neck, but that actually helped to remind me of his identity.

“…ha… you fucking bastard…”

[…I wasn’t assassinated. That motherfucker…]

Arya’s ‘former’ escort guard in front of him looked at Leonardo with an unconcerned look into the station.

[I became a magician. I even sold my soul.]

Main Jehad showed madness.

“Sell your family to the devil because you have nothing to do?”

The laughter was exactly the same as the one shown two years ago to the family and fiancée who made the ritual sacrifices.
