2nd Rank Has Returned

Prophecy-1

Clash of Darkness and Darkness

To them, a second felt like a minute.

Every single blow of Chris is a fatal attack.

Leonardo’s Strike is a compressed series that transcends the limits of time and body.

Black and white explode with flashes.

Beneath the flash stood the winner of the duel.

“…Huh…Is it already overwhelmed…”

Darkness Chris dropped the proliferation sword with trembling hands. Victory and defeat were divided at the point of dropping a weapon that was like a symbol of a knight.

She was already half on her knees from the shock of the attack.

“It’s not overwhelming… If it was a battle, not a match, it would have been my side to lose.”

It wasn’t polite or polite. Shining Dark Orbis or Magic Hot Super Knife. Anyway, the skill is just like this, just by touching it. A new piece that can cut in 0.1 seconds.

Therefore, on the contrary, it was also a technique that was not suitable for use in this type of duel.

The difference between life and death in Dalian was far beyond breaking the rules, so Chris would not be able to show off a more natural swordsmanship.

“…ha… humility is deceptive enough.”

“I hear that a lot.”

Of course, that was after the return.

“…with a little pride, try to love yourself…”

Why?

In the swamp of old and old memories, beneath the deep waters, there were fragments of similar memories.

When Chris was defeated by all sorts of tricks and tricks, she encouraged Leo, who was distrustful of his skills.

‘…Trust yourself. If I’m wrong, someone will correct me.’

It was so encouraging. Aren’t they showing you an album with a dark history that you don’t want to see?

“Yes, if you deserve it.”

Yes, if you deserve it.

“…by the way…”

But there is something I really don’t understand no matter how I think about it.

“After all, who does Chris like?”

I’m thankful that it calmed me down to some extent, but my relationship counseling hasn’t made any progress. I didn’t even know what kind of person he was, let alone his name.

“…ah.”

Chris opened his mouth with a bewildered look without showing the profound expression he had made so far. As expected by her brother Gladio, the head of state, Chris was so engrossed in Leonardo’s story that he had long forgotten his main purpose by throwing it away.

“…that is…! So… I just… open my mouth…”

“…that… I’ll tell you later… Me and Chris-sama are tattered.”

Leonardo transformed the shattering armor of darkness into a bracelet again. His stamina was already at the limit, and his mana had run out more than Chris.

With a thumping sound, Leo fell backwards as it was. Leo’s expression on his back, even though he had become tattered, looked very refreshing.

As if Chris’ clumsy consolation worked on the one hand.

“…this is paradoxical. The loser has to support the winner.”

Chris, who still had the mana to move, poured out all of his mana and reached out toward Leo, who was half-stunned.

“It’s the winner’s privilege… I’m begging you.”

Perhaps the contradiction was quite funny, Leo smiled and tried to hold his hand.

slap

However, while there was a bond between darkness and darkness, the champion of pure white and light struck the loser’s hand and took his knight’s hand instead.

“…miss…?”

Leo’s maiden and forever a warrior.

It was Ariaspil.

“Take my hand. Both of them are not doing well.”

Apart from his soft smile and words, Ariaspil’s eyes seemed to be slightly dead. But that was probably because he was tired, so Leo misunderstood.

“…Oh, thank you.”

“Thank you… Actually, I was at my limit.”

Chris also removed the pretense he had been wearing on his body that was forcing him to stand up. In fact, just walking like this was the limit in Chris’ state.

“Thank you, of course, ‘younger, prettier and more energetic than my aunt,’ I have to help ‘my Leo’.”

He had a bright expression, but his words were overly aggressive and lifelike.

“…uh… um… yes…”

At the incomprehensible, overbearing check, Chris quickly nodded with a shaky look.

This was not simply because Arya was afraid, but because behind the scenes, all the family members sent a signal not to say strange things.

In particular, the various gestures sent by his brother, the head of the household, were like struggling to save his brother’s life, and he could not ignore it.

***

Perhaps it was because of the depletion of mana, Leo fell asleep as it was. He was very cocky and unforgivable for doing something like that with his aunt, but when he put on such a relaxed and refreshing expression, he couldn’t be angry.

“…Hey, Arya… This is… the circumstances…”

“Shut up.”

Arya laid her lovely knight on the bed, kneeling the ‘sinners’ who invaded her cute Leo’s privacy.

“If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Yes?”

Among them, his brother, aunt, parents and grandfather were also there, but something to know. Even the famous and famous saint of the temple now realized his mistake and knelt down.

“So, why did you bring up such strange things to Leo?”

“…ah… so for an honest…conversation…!”

digging

There was a flash. Something was thrown onto the ground at the speed of a comet.

“…Ouch, the pen slipped.”

What flew away was a fountain pen in a pencil holder, an extremely ordinary fountain pen. The fountain pen, which claimed to have ‘slipped’, was stuck upright on the ground like a shooting star.

“So, a conversation?”

Everyone swallowed dry saliva and shed a cold sweat at the magic and miracle-like technique.

“You talk like a fistfight these days? Yeah? aunt?”

Chris thought.

Perhaps, if there had been an arrogance in a single word at the scene of the duel, the skin and internal organs would have been applied immediately.

“… First of all, calm down. Chris is also worried about Leo…”

“Dad.”

Arya narrowed her eyes and smiled with a life-like smile. At this time, Gladio Gaju saw it. His mother, Arya’s grandmother, was waving her hand from beyond the underworld.

“Then I also want to have a very honest ‘conversation’?”

Maybe it was just Gladio, even Silika and Lumine, who didn’t learn martial arts properly, started to tremble and tremble like small animals.

“What about this, 1 to 6? Am I too weak?”

Arya chuckled and laughed, but the people around her couldn’t laugh at all. Among them, Lumine had the most anxious expression, because while Arya was training in the temple, she was able to directly observe the operation of the holy sword that was seen.

{Even Ruben could not make such a light cannon.}

Even a dragon had a huge mana that could only be seen as the size of a bottle of water.

“It’s 1 to 7 to be precise. Arya’s sister.”

Opening the door was a girl with gray hair and robes, a child who was also the daughter of the now sleeping subject of this conversation.

“…ah…ah…ah…?!”

When he saw his daughter, Arya’s life disappeared in an instant.

“Before I get angry, I want to tell you something in consideration of my father’s feelings.”

“…Leo’s feelings?”

As life disappeared in an instant, the Reinhardt family instinctively recognized that their lifeline was held by Arya.

“My father often said that he wanted the family to always be in harmony.

At Ain’s unexpected words, everyone looked at Ain with a slightly sober atmosphere.

“But now, if your sister is angry, your father’s efforts so far may be meaningless.”

The Reinhardt family thought that maybe that was why they claimed that Ain, a boy who lost his parents early and jumped into a sword at the age of 10 with the desire to find even his mother’s body, might be a child.

In fact, in Ain’s view, if Leo really didn’t hold back his anger towards his family.

Not only did it mean that they could kill Anus and the others who were angry at the train station instantly, of course, but it meant that they could easily kill some of them, but no one understood the true meaning of those words.

[…a creepy year…]

{You created it, so you are responsible for it.}

[I’d rather blame Leo for teaching like that.]

However, it felt like the two ghosts had noticed. Lumine, who looked at them pathically, was ecstatic in many ways.

“…I don’t want that either… but if you still don’t get it…”

“No! Our Ain is saying this, we need to get rid of our anger~!”

Saying that, Arya ran up to her daughter and stroked her hair wildly.

The sinners kneeling on the spot looked at Aria with pathetic eyes, but they felt a sincere reverence for the existence of Ain, who calmed down that monster-like hero.

“After all, Arya unnie loves her father.”

“yes! Of course, Leo…”

Arya paused for a moment. Then he looked around with a firm gaze.

He had all his family, an adult who had helped him over the years, and a fainting but beloved man beside him.

“…of course…! of course! As friends and colleagues…!! It’s great as a partner!! Such a black heart… at all…!”

Considering his actions so far and now, such an excuse was too late at the latest, so he was able to clearly imprint the fact that Arya’s intelligence was lowered through love, rather than making an excuse.

“Yeah, I already know what it feels like to be good in life and as a s*xual partner.”

“Uh… ah…”

At Ain’s casual and intuitive summary, Arya’s face became as red as her burning love.

What must be said, now that you spit out such a bold statement in a place like this, how should you look at your family?

“Where did Ain learn such strange words?! To use such a word for something like this…!”

It is safe to say that it is now a sad comedy. It was funny to struggle so much, but at the same time it was sad to see, Rios said.

“Everyone already knows. Arya, you like Leo.”

“…ah… ah… ah…”

Aria let out a small moan that went beyond blushing and almost cried. Leo could have completely shattered this heart if he made a sound as it is.

“…Since when…”

Rios said with the tone of whether he had just noticed that now.

“Since I met Leo.”

“How could you not know that?” said Chris.

“Hmm… I’ve been guessing since the time Aria and you and Leo got together to get a balrog.”

The Reinhardts looked at the twinkling pods of love in the eyes of their daughter who had fallen in love like that.

“You would know from the moment I found Leo-kun without showing my dress to my mother on my mother’s birthday first.”

“…I was skeptical at first too, but after hearing Silica, I couldn’t think that it wasn’t the case.”

Lumine opened her mouth as if she couldn’t be ignorant even before she saw the various travels in the temple.

“Since I and Leo Knight-sama said they didn’t like the fact that they became friends.”

“…not so… something like that…”

Everyone in this room bent their eyebrows as if ‘Really?’ Considering the current situation, isn’t that jealousy the cause?

Marken sighed and said resigningly that he could no longer deny it.

“I got the Holy Sword through Leo’s duel, and when I met Leo, a revelation was given, so it’s hard to deny it…

In fact, it was difficult to deny.

At that time, Arya was seemingly calm on the outside, but on the inside, she wondered if this was the fate that Heaven had linked her.

“…but Leo himself didn’t know…”

Everyone fully agreed with that statement.

If we go back to the beginning, everyone did not understand that, so this division was formed.

The inability to see the love flowing like honey from Arya’s eyes was a skill, if anything.

“…as expected… the story of first love…”

At the word of ‘first love’, cold coldness and life revolve around you. To be precise, it was the energy of fear emanating from Arya, who drew a cold smile.

“…Chit, what’s good about a woman who died alone over my Leo…”

There was something demeaning Leo’s heart and the deceased, but no one could point it out. Among them, Lumine, Ain, and the two ghosts, with complicated expressions, eventually heard a venom that was nothing more than self-hatred.

“…then investigate that person…”

“I think it would be better not to do that anymore.”

Everyone looked at the person who proposed the objection.

“…Ain?”

Surprisingly, it was Ain, who was also the beginning of the story, who raised an objection.

“I don’t think it would be good to find out about my father’s past anymore.”

“…that… why…?”

If anyone else had said it, it was Arya who would either object (threat under the guise) or persuade (threat under the guise of imitation), but since Leo and her daughter, Ain, said it, she couldn’t just ignore it.

“…that…”

Ain trembled with an unprecedented complex expression. There was no cute cause such as ’embarrassment’ or ‘low-speed output’.

Ain himself couldn’t properly explain why he couldn’t explain it. I thought that everything about Leo would fall apart if he said everything he wanted to.

“…if I knew, I would not be able to forgive… I think.”

“…what does that mean…?”

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

“Lord! A guest has arrived!”

It was Reinhardt’s knight who gave information on the front door of the mansion. It was a rather startled and bewildered voice, so Gladio asked the knight with a worried look. It was probably because there were no scheduled guests at this time.

“It’s not… it’s not strange… but an old woman with a werewolf came here claiming to be ‘Leonardo Knight’s family’ and saying it was time for an appointment.”

“ah! That’s right! They’re not real family, but they’re closer than that!”

The warrior Ariaspil immediately agreed to the article. But still, he was still surprised.

“Then the wizard ‘Eileen Temperius’ who guided them…!”

“Where does that fire pit come from? If possible, I will throw them out, if not, I will kill them with my own hands… No, I will send them to a distant place.”

Looking at Arya who ran away to the appearance of the enemy, it was the empty family who hoped that the distant place would not be the Nether.

“…First, let’s talk about this later.”

“I would love to do that. Priest Lumine, can you heal my brother and wake him up?”

Lumine nodded at Rio’s words as he left the room and gathered divine power.

“all right. Please go first.”

With that said, Lumine hastily sent off Reinhardt’s party, who was running to prevent Leo’s family and Arya from going on a trip to the Nether.

“Saint Angela.”

{Yes, Brother Lumine.}

When Reinhardt and Ain went outside, Lumine carefully called out her guardian angel.

“…wouldn’t it have been better to talk? This…”

It’s a problem that could definitely be solved if I said it,” Lumine tried to say.

[Arthur. Leo will hit you with a knife if you go out for nothing.]

{…Your tone is frivolous. However, as the old man called the wise man with only his name said, it is true that we should not disclose it.}

The two ghosts didn’t look like that at all from a close look, but they had their own experience and magnanimity according to their externally known character and ability.

Therefore, they had no choice but to stop Lumine’s words and actions.

“But… not being able to forgive yourself even after being subjected to something you didn’t want to do…”

Isn’t it too cruel a story, that the two young girls also agreed on.

But that was just a consensus of opinion.

[…Yeah, it’s sad and stuffy for Leo to do that, and it’s not as frustrating as putting coal from a fire in his throat enough to suffocate. by the way…]

The sage dismissed the difficulties with this sentence.

[Then how can we explain ‘this’ to Arya without feeling guilty?]

The fundamental problem was not in the regression.

The time and pain that Leo took until that return.

even after hearing all of that.

Will Arya be able to forgive her?

Before forgiving Leo.

He left the man he had loved for more than 70 years alone with a sense of guilt.

Is it reasonable to forgive?

That was the real problem.
