2nd Rank Has Returned

Gaiden-Encounter (2)

People’s eyes were surprisingly not warm.

It wasn’t because he carried people around with his head cut off, but because he knew who the person who had been beheaded was.

In order to avoid the eyes of Leo, especially the decal he was carrying, people turned their eyes away as much as possible.

But it didn’t really matter. It meant that he had already seen what this situation was like from the point of avoiding his gaze.

Now Leo had only this thought.

‘It smells a little bit, is there no suitable place to hang it?’

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a tall tree nearby.

“It is appropriate.”

Talking to himself like that, he threw his head at the tree and walked. The head hanging from the branches was like a cruel decoration of a Christmas tree.

“Hey!”

Just as I was about to leave after finishing the warning, someone called me. Turning his head, he saw a knight wearing chain armor and holding a spear.

‘…is it the guards?’

It seemed that the weapon was in good condition.

“I got a report. Little boy, I need to go with you for a moment.”

“…if you don’t like it?”

“There must be a way to punish them in an instant.”

A sharp window shone sharply in the sunlight. Perhaps the punishment will be through that spear.

“What is the name of the crime? Is it the sin of removing the money line that feeds the back money?”

Suddenly, the guard’s expression hardened. It’s a word I’ve been thinking about, but it seems to have hit the right track.

c

Sand sprinkled without missing a gap, coarse grains of sand blown away by a kick stab the pupil.

“Great!”

Leo grabs the sword handle without missing a moment.

Booung

Even if he couldn’t open his eyes, he could swing the spear. As a guard, he was able to show off some decent spears.

“Dance. very just.”

The problem was that I couldn’t see and the streets were a mess. Hearing Leo’s voice, he rubbed the guard’s eyes and ran in that direction.

“porridge…!!”

At that moment, Leo reflected the sunlight with the blade of his sword. The reflected light was a fatal glare for the eyes that had been in the dark for a long time because of the sand.

“You fucking die.”

Whoops!

The guards are thrown out by the impact of the back of the knife. And while still trampling the guard’s ship, Leo started kicking him in the face.

puck, puck

When that sound rang a couple of more times and the guards confirmed that they had completely collapsed, Leo took his spear and put it next to the tree.

“…is this appropriate?”

Leo put a spear between the guard’s armor, making it look like a scarecrow.

With the leader of a pathetic bandit and an incompetent guard standing by, there was no better pair than this.

“Cock… Whoa!”

Lastly, disinfecting facial wounds with saliva was polite and a bonus.

“…unlucky.”

I wasn’t really afraid of the aftermath. On the contrary, the guards will be busy covering up what happened to a single kid or what he ate behind the scenes.

“Then, shall we buy meat after a long time?”

The commission will be paid for by a lot of money, so Leo just thought that he would pack a lot of dried jerky.

With such a light thought, Leo headed to the market street.

and.

“You stand there.”

Again, we will face the quarrel.

“…I got scabies in my luck today, why do I keep getting quarrels…”

When I looked back, there were no words behind it. Behind him stood a little sun.

I couldn’t understand why humans had such a brilliance, so I immediately concluded that the boy’s existence was the sun.

“Are you like that? those people?”

asked the girl in the wall with long gray hair. It was off-white enough to make the pendant made of high-quality material look modest.

“…how do you know who these people are?”

Soon, Leo calmed down again. It’s been a while since I’ve learned how to make up my mind while living as a mercenary.

“Those who hang their necks from trees and those who are tied to spears.”

At that explanation, Leo smirked as if exasperated. At the rudeness, the girl rolled her eyes.

“…do you even play the Apostle of Justice game?”

“…What?”

“Whether I cut someone’s neck or beat him, it’s none of your business. I don’t know if those two are family or friends. Could it be?”

It was a question I asked because I was sure it wasn’t.

“no.”

It was nonetheless

“Still, that is unacceptable.”

“How dare you? What are you going to tolerate? Do you know what those people did?”

“I don’t know. But I know you shouldn’t do that.”

Continue the matching conversation. Due to such skittish communication, the market people suddenly became quiet.

“…that doesn’t make sense. When I say nice things, the way I went…”

At that moment, Leo’s eyes caught the eye of the pendant hanging from her neck. There was only one family that could use the pattern of a lion standing around the sacred sword.

“…ha… did that happen?”

Leo smiled and took off his gloves. Then he threw the glove at her.

chin

“…do you know what I mean?”

“You say you are such a great knight? There’s nothing to drag Let’s stick together.”

There was no formality or courtesy, but the duel was established.

“okay. great.”

The girl drew her sword from her waist. But that sword was not a sword used on the battlefield.

“…what do you mean?”

dagger. It was a dagger that could cut fruit if it was bad, or rope if it was good.

“I don’t want to wield a proper sword against a guy like you.”

“…Huh…Is that so?”

Despite the provocation, Leo only felt uncomfortable, but was not engulfed in passion. It was because he had been subjected to such insults countless times.

“But can I tell you one?”

Leo also grabbed the sword at the waist. Of course, that sword was a long sword that killed dozens of people.

“The beheaded man is the leader of a bandit who killed and looted people. And the one who got hit is a guard who knows it and sits on the sidelines.”

For a moment, the girl stopped.

“…?!”

It was a fact I was aiming for on purpose. Leo immediately rushes forward. To say that it was cowardly, what I said was absolutely true.

visor!

In an instant, the sword stopped. Obviously, Leo’s own sword should have deflected the girl’s dagger from the trajectory.

But it was Leo’s own sword that stopped. He was the leader himself, and he was the one who had the advantage in weapons.

“…I didn’t know that.”

Nevertheless, the girl’s dagger held Leo’s long sword firmly. While pressing the tip of the sword with the blade with one point.

It was a feat more likely to be performed by an acrobat than a knight or mercenary.

“…Ch…!”

It was expected.

Auror, it was a skill that could not be learned or seen by a lowly self.

puck!

This time I tried to throw a round kick. But, as if it was natural, she avoided her feet and slammed Leo’s wrist with the handle.

The long sword fell to the floor and made a sound, and Leo sat still.

Aimed at the girl’s dagger, she couldn’t even breathe.

“I’m not going to apologize. Because I understand. wake up.”

She pulled out her dagger and held out her hand. The scene that looked merciful and not merciful, and everyone who saw the scene was moved to the point of being touched by the kindness.

slap

Only Leo waved her hand away.

“Fuck… are you kidding me? again. Don’t look down on people like this.”

Leo grabbed the sword again with his swollen wrist.

“Why? Misunderstanding cleared up There is no reason to fight.”

“There will be no reason. But… for a lowly bastard like me, there is a meaning.”

And swung the sword again. Even though one hand was swollen, the speed of the sword was faster than before. The girl wanted to dodge the quick sword and back away,

Chang Kang!

This time the sword itself broke. Obviously, it was Leo who pushed the attack, but it was also Leo who was defeated.

“Can we not fight anymore?”

her gaze looking down,

“Don’t do it in moderation…!!”

Another sword was drawn from the opposite hand. It was faster because neither the sudden foot nor the hand swelled up.

“You did it!!”

snuggle

sword stuck Because it was a surprise, it may have been a possible mistake. blood splattered and dripped People couldn’t even scream at the sudden sight.

“…you will die if you go like this.”

“I know… that’s pretty deep…!”

Leo had a dagger stuck in it. The dagger embedded in the side of the chest, the clothes were pierced, and the color of blood was deeply stained.

“…Stand back. If you don’t want to die.”

Leo goes one step further. The blade goes deeper and pain brings death.

“…why are you doing this?”

“People like you don’t know if they’re dead and awake…! You’re going to think about how you’re going to live tomorrow, but I…”

more blood flows The wound was the site closest to the heart, and the bleeding was severe.

“…I…every day… I wonder how I’m going to die tomorrow…!”

Yet the words do not stop.

Was it simply because he wanted that girl to kill him?

Was it because I wanted someone to hear this?

It was something no one knew.

“…I mean… I’m not a great person like you… It’s been a while since I had a reason to live…”

It was the face of the mother who, ironically, had not even found the body.

“If I die by a guy like you… can I go… a little… confidently…? is not it…?”

It was an almost maddening remark. Madness that is extremely indifferent to others, the boy holds the girl’s dagger with his right hand.

“…if you turn the angle a little, it will definitely…”

At that moment, Leo stopped his hand. Like a sinner facing his own sin.

“you…”

The boy let go of his hand.

“Kwandullanda.”

Leo ripped off his sleeve and tried to stop the bleeding.

“…you need to get proper treatment…!”

“done. Don’t worry about losers. That is more humiliating.”

Then, when the hemostasis did not go as well as expected, Leo looked at a nearby lamp. It was hung up by market merchants to do business at night.

“I’ll write some. mister.”

“…uh? Huh?!”

Before he could properly hear the answer, Leo raised the lamp.

Chi profit!

Then he brought the heated lamp to his chest. The sound of ripe skin and the smell of burning permeated the market.

It was so daring and cruel that I couldn’t believe it was something a boy would do.

“It can be disinfected.”

Leo said as his skin melted and he saw the wounds in his chest that had stopped bleeding. No one reacted to it.

Everyone was busy covering their mouths in shock.

“Well written. mister. Wipe it off and you’ll be fine.”

Having said that, Leo walked to the inn. When Leo left, the market people began to murmur.

Was he crazy, or was he on drugs?

Rather, did that guy really kill the decal?

Why did he want to die in a fight?

Around the time everyone was using that question as gossip, Leo was having an argument with the innkeeper over the wound on his chest, and then he lay down on the bed in the room.

“…ha… damn…”

It would have been a problem if it had been really stabbed to the end. There was no more regret in a life like this.

“…I killed the Wyvern…why are you trembling…”

It was only because the hand of the girl he had touched, holding the studded dagger at that time, was trembling too much.

“…ha… sir… it’s embarrassing…”

Leo chose defeat instead of death.

That was Leo’s first defeat to Arya.
