2nd Rank Has Returned

Senate-1

The way back to the tower was much faster than going there.

No matter how fast the train was, it could not surpass the teleportation of the warp gate between space and space.

Originally, I could have come by train, but I did not have very good memories on the train, so I chose the warp gate.

When we returned to the family, he was looking at us with all worried eyes.

Even so, it was strange not to worry because the opponent was the Warlock Clay Temple, who had been ordered to be wanted, and Majin Jehad, who had been expelled from his family.

This story became a saga and spread throughout the kingdom. As a family of warriors, the legend about him was enough to show off his majesty.

In fact, they weren’t very fond of them.

***

[Why are you so dead?]

The wise man floated around Leo and asked quietly.

＜Then where’s the laugh? Look at where you are going.＞

The place he was going to now was the room of Gladio Reinhardt, the room of the Reinhard family.

[Why? You’ve been there before.]

＜The situation is not the same as it was back then.＞

He was young at the time, and by his standards, he didn’t make a big fuss. But what about now?

[Actually… it’s not something that will just go away.]

It wasn’t enough to get the young lady to follow her on a personal vacation, and it wasn’t something to take lightly to make her fight the clay samurai.

Whether it be a reward or a punishment, he will come to rebuke him somehow.

[Because no father saves a man who kissed his daughter alive.]

＜…＞

Leo wasn’t too hard on himself to see that human being pathetic, so the boy just turned his head.

[Still, that headman seems to be flexible. Wouldn’t it go on to how many times I got hit with a knife?]

＜…Even if the headmaster is flexible, he won’t be the scumbags.＞

In terms of status, Gaju is the head of the family. It is the role of the headmaster to lead the family and maintain its status.

However, there was also an organization in the family to prevent such head-to-head from straying.

＜This time, the Senate will also move.＞

[…in any era. Old people who think they know everything in the world just because they are old.]

＜…＞

That’s true, but since the person who said it was a human, it was strange to nod or jog.

[Don’t look at me like that.]

＜Ah, yes.＞

With that said, Leo turned his gaze away from the living fossils of ancient times, where the elders of the Senate were pitiful.

[Then what happens? Are you going to kick me out?]

＜Actually, it doesn’t mean anything other than annoying things.＞

Even a senate of such a position was not very intimidating to Leonardo.

There were many corners to believe in, and there was no problem with the hidden cards as they prepared for such a situation from time to time.

[The Senate is what it is. It has nothing to do with the old man.]

＜I always feel it, why do we only communicate when we gossip?＞

[Because that is the meaning of the existence of gossip.]

That’s a great answer for your age. It was such a dignified interpretation that I immediately recognized it upon hearing it.

[Anyway, good luck. After all, the old people are there.]

Is it rude to argue here, or is it rude to raise an objection?

If there is a rare difficulty, this contradiction will surely take the first place.

In the midst of such unprofessional chatter, Leonardo arrived in front of Gaju’s room.

Start breathing deeply.

He had to release even the tension in his unconscious so that he could respond to the future in a perfect state.

“I’ll be thrilled.”

With Knock, Leo faced the front of Gaju.

“Have you come? Leonardo-kun.”

The headmaster was sitting in his seat, drinking tea lightly. Beside him, butler Alfred was making tea with the same scent.

“Would you like a cup of lemon tea?”

“Yes, thank you, let’s drink.”

At that, butler Alfred himself poured tea into Leonardo’s teacup. The fresh scent of a thickly blooming lemon relieved tension that could not be relieved even with a deep breath.

“I heard the story. You said you went through a lot of things in the tower, are you okay?”

“Thanks to the grace of the family, I was able to return safely.”

It was a very different tone from usual, a tone that was very angular, but with confidence hidden underneath.

“It doesn’t seem like it will be easy even if you find two sage’s legacy, plus a special magic permit, and even if your family’s blessings reach you… just because you’re the only one makes sense.”

Now, the warlock’s terror incident is only buried, and in fact, even the events that occurred before that were unprecedented in the mato and other families.

“It was very much thanks to the graduate students who honed themselves diligently at the mato.”

He was able to free himself from such interest even a little bit because he gave the ball to Ameri in this way to the masters as well.

“Miss America. I remember Rios telling me to scab on his ear.”

“I’ll try to properly say thank you later.”

“That’s something I should consider. When I was in the tower, I heard that you had a lot of trouble putting Rios out of trouble.”

It became a wild imagination. That may be the reason why that Ameri Esp was dealing with Rios with no faults.

“What about the injuries you sustained during the terror attacks at Mato? Are you okay?”

“It’s not enough, but I’m also a Reinhardt knight. You can’t harm the family with something like that.”

“It is difficult to say that you are not good enough. If that’s true, half of our drivers will lose their jobs.”

Does excessive humility mean rather deception?

I didn’t know it was wrong. Rather, speaking with a bit of arrogance, it would be impossible to defeat Leo even if all the knights working in the family came, unless it was Reinhardt’s direct line or collateral.

“But I can’t be so proud because I actually put the girl in danger.”

At that, Gladio put down the empty glass and sighed.

“…I’m sorry. Embarrassingly, hearing your words gave me peace of mind.”

It was a statement that might have been nervous if the lemon scent had not been strong. This was the gist of it.

“The Senate intends to hear you against you. Because I have decided that you are responsible for the warlocks and the demons.”

To put it simply, it was absurd. In fact, Leo’s contribution to suppressing all this was great, so there was nothing strange about giving him a prize.

＜But whether it’s a family or tradition is something that doesn’t apply. You have to accept it.＞

[I think the tower is rotten, but it is just rotten evenly throughout.]

＜Whatever you want, the world shows you less than that.＞

For example, a typical example was the fact that the true identity of a sage who slaughtered dragons alone, gathered spirits to purify the island, was a narcissistic old man who used double lust.

“No matter how hard I tried to persuade, I couldn’t change the opinions of the elders.”

“no. it’s okay. It was my intuition that it was not an easy problem to solve.”

Saying so, Leo drank lemon tea. The warmth of sweet lemon was sometimes refreshing even more than cold juice.

“Then when is the hearing?”

“It must be sudden, but the Senate did not even allow a period of time to relax.”

Gladio held a black barrel in his hand. The lid of the barrel was opened and what was taken out was a piece of parchment, and Leo, who was well versed in magic, could immediately recognize the identity of the paper.

“It’s a scroll.”

It was also a scroll in which the magic of teleportation was stored.

“There is no warp gate leading to the Senate. This scroll is the only way to get there.”

The Senate was the gathering place of the old young girls who knew beyond Reinhardt’s veil, even if they belonged to Reinhardt’s knights, only a few knew the place.

“Then can we go right away?”

“…I am confident. No hesitation.”

“It’s not a problem that can be solved by thinking about it, it’s just a decision.”

At that, the lord gave a smirk. It wasn’t a laugh, it was a smile of relief when he thought his worries were useless.

“Then let’s get started right away. please Alfred.”

It was Alfred who picked up the scroll, and he opened it with his white gloved hand.

“let’s begin. Leonardo-kun.”

Light flowed from the scroll’s pattern. The light and color were no different from those seen at the Warp Gate.

However, as it was a scroll made for transport, I did not expect such a gentle teleportation.

Jiying

Light surrounds the body with a strange sound. It feels like the body is turned over and thrown in all directions, this is not to the extent of being disrespectful, it is not an intention to harass at all.

“Gosh…”

Poseok

The place it fell was a soft and cold snow field, and it relieved the shock when it fell, but sometimes the mixed ice grains were rubbed against the skin and irritated.

[It’s gotten chilly… but it’s snowing this much already?]

Not only the part where he landed, but the entire area around this place was covered with snow. Considering the change of seasons, as the sage said, it was rarely heterogeneous.

＜The road to the Senate is like this. I didn’t know I’d throw it so far…＞

The area where the Senate was located was barricaded, so it was not easy to find or leave.

It was always snowing like the northern part of the area, so it was not easy to move or rest.

[If you had known, would you have worn something thicker?]

＜If this is the case, it is quite tolerable.＞

Of course, this was better than being burned by lightning. And by applying some fire and wind magic, I could make a simple heater.

“then…”

Leo slowly looked the other way. In the opposite direction, there was an old man wearing a luxurious and elegant butler’s suit that did not go well with the snowy field.

“I think you already expected it. Leonardo-kun.”

Alfred took off his gloves, revealing his scarred hands. It was a form that could hardly fly at the level of tea ceremony or cleaning, and in terms of sheep, there were more numbers than Leonardo.

[…that inspiration, I wasn’t just a butler…]

Butler Alfred Sebastian

Formerly a 6-star retired knight of the Reinhardt family.

“If I had stayed still looking at those hands, I would have died instantly.”

“This is embarrassing. I usually cover it up, being careful not to cause trouble to other people.”

His hands were tightly clenched. I was convinced by that momentary move.

If he had his head in that hand, his skull would have been crushed right away, and if that fist had hit his head, his head would have been left without shape.

“In a situation like this, it would be more polite to not discriminate.”

His pride as a fighter was etched in his scars.

[…are you fighting from the grass?]

Was he embarrassed by the sudden battle scene, the sage asked in a slightly disjointed tone.

＜I expected it.＞

It was also the reason why the headmaster was so worried, and there was a similar situation before the return.

＜…I’m going to kill myself with the excuse of testing.＞

The first knight to be called into the Senate is subjected to a kind of test.

Unqualified persons are not even allowed to set foot in the family council. It was a test with the intention of overcoming the ordeal in order to show qualifications.

Normally, it would be the story of arriving alive from the cold and the forest to the Senate.

＜The special treatment is severe…＞

Leonardo seemed to have taken special measures since it had been a long time since he had gone beyond an ordinary knight.

[…are you going to fight? As for you…]

＜Am I crazy?＞

The sage’s eyes are colder than a blizzard, but in fact, this was the wisest. A head-to-head match against a six-star fighter was more reckless than Jehad.

The fact that the core reached that point meant that not only the amount of Aurors, but also the combat sense, skill, and experience had achieved achievements as a master in one field.

＜The wisest thing is to deal with it in moderation and run away into the forest.＞

They misjudged that Leo did not know the geography of this place. If you take advantage of that point to preempt an advantageous point, you will be able to gain an advantage in escaping and responding.

＜It’s not that difficult. Unexpectedly, I have a lot of advantages.＞

Alfred was preparing for the regime and waged the first battle of the battle.

“Leonardo. It’s not polite to just hit and hit, so let’s put a condition on it.”

The old butler said with a light smile.

“If even a single blow to me succeeds, I will hide the kiss with Ariaspil-sama from the Lord…”

Kahn!!

[…Hey you…]

All the plans I mentioned earlier have been cancelled. Now the situation was very unfavorable to him.

“…I will finish it with a speedy resolution.”

Leo, who made a surprise attack before he could even finish speaking, said while holding his sword in both hands. The sword’s surprise bounced off the fist’s defense.

[…you know it’s ugly?]

do you know that For now, I’m just concentrating on the battle. His sword didn’t need that kind of pride.

Leo’s sword contained only determination.
