2nd Rank Has Returned

Arya Learns-4

I’ll try to summarize the current situation slowly because I don’t understand.

Obviously, he fought Eileen with all his might in the arena. And the fatal attack failed and was suppressed and defeated.

Yes, it certainly would have been.

“Why are you still? Isn’t tea your taste?”

But why is he drinking tea in a cafe right now?

His doubts were still unresolved.

[You were teleported all of a sudden. Don’t you remember?]

Come to think of it, while her mind was blurry, Eileen embraced herself and formed a teleport magic circle.

＜…and you’ve moved here.＞

[Probably. When it comes to the activation speed, it boils down to Calen.]

＜…ah…yes…＞

Obviously, seeing the descendants of a close friend was praiseworthy, but because of the explanation I heard earlier, I felt strangely vague.

If I hadn’t heard of that at the time, I wouldn’t have thought of anything.

[But what kind of teahouse has no customers?]

As the sage said, there was a sense of incongruity in the cafe. Even at a quiet time, this tea house was overcrowded.

“This store is my own personal business. You can think of it as a hobby of some sort.”

I’ve seen working at a tea house as a hobby, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it run a cafe myself. He’s also a chaebol wizard.

[By the way, Karen was also interested in the tea ceremony. There were many times when I brought a lot of various tea leaves to eat.]

I didn’t want to hear the sage’s words anymore. Rather than the sage’s fault, it was because Leo himself felt the bitter pain of knowing the secret behind this situation.

“So, why did you suddenly bring me to the tea house?”

“Isn’t the reason ‘I want to tell a story just the two of us comfortably’ is not enough?”

She held out a teacup and a sugar canister and gave a relaxed smile. Since the button on the front island was slightly loosened, the chest bone was exposed when the body was stretched forward.

“It will probably not be enough. If that’s the case, there would be a way to come to the tea house on foot.”

“It’s because you’re interested in a man like you.”

Then, she rarely covered her mouth and gave a light smile. Even the sage was watching Eileen’s actions like that, as if it was interesting.

“I wanted to know more about you, but there were a lot of distractions.”

She tucked her hair behind her ear, exuding a mature charm.

“You don’t drink tea?”

“I’m sorry, but if you understand the current situation, let’s have fun.”

Seeing Leo with a young vigilant eye, she thought the reaction was cute, so she brought the teacup back and brought it to her lips.

“As you can see, there is no poison. It has a deep flavor, so I hope you enjoy it comfortably.”

On the end of the teacup, there was a deep trace of lip rouge. It was a strong color that a man could not help but be conscious of.

[Isn’t it more like a fire pit than Karen?]

Although the subject of comparison was strange, Leo grabbed the teacup without panicking.

“Then let’s drink thanks.”

Leonardo lightly pulled out a paper napkin and wiped the teacup’s rouge. Then he gently drank the tea.

“Yes, you even mixed a recovery potion. thank you.”

“…you are very concerned about hygiene.”

At first glance, the behavior seemed rude, but Leonardo was also aware of it.

“Think of it as a ritual to reduce emotions in conversation rather than hygiene.”

“It’s a bit of a disappointing answer. Are you drawing a line?”

“You can think of it as a statement of position… that you cannot convince me in this way.”

Leonardo had experienced such temptation countless times, and he had prepared a way to respond with dignity to it.

***

“…OMG…!!”

Ariaspil, who had lost his man to his rival, swung his sword in the arena and expressed his anger.

Even the wizards who were around as spectators began to look for Eileen and Leonardo, who disappeared with a bewildered look.

“…this person…!”

Ariaspil lost even the ability to speak in anger that was boiling over. The dirty words that the fire lover whispered to Leonardo earlier echoed in Arya’s ears.

＜I liked it. It will be enough to be my companion.＞

“I want you to be my man from now on. There are a lot of people here, so let’s move the place first so that the two of us can have brothers.＞

It felt like he had added something he didn’t say, but Ariaspil certainly heard that.

“…Where…! Where did you go…?!”

I can’t forgive that woman. will never leave it alone. Any women who covet Leo will cut them off with their own hands.

[…this is it…]

At that moment, the essence of mana resonated with her heart.

“uh…?”

[Leo is here…!]

The spirits floating around shared mana and informed Leo’s location.

“…thank you…!!”

Contrary to saying thank you, Arya ran out of the arena with a look of hatred and jealousy.

***

The place that followed the spirit was a tea house on a quiet street, and the fairies of Mana pointed towards the inside of the cafe.

Fortunately, there were no blinds on the windows of the cafe, so I could see the inside.

The problem was that if you went nearby to hear the conversation, you would be caught.

“…then…”

Arya used the auror’s application she had learned from Leonardo. If mana spread throughout the body is concentrated in one sensory organ, the performance of that organ is amplified several times.

When he collected the aurora in his eyes, his sight was strengthened and his hearing was strengthened in his ears. Originally, Leo taught this technique to prepare for situations such as poison and night attacks, but Ariaspil was not afraid to use it.

Because he was doing this to protect his knights now.

As his eyesight improved, he could clearly see inside the blurry cafe. In the cafe, Eileen and her Leo were drinking tea with their brother facing each other.

“…that…that fire fox…!!”

Look at those lustful eyes, that Bul-yeoshi was making every effort to try to seduce pure Leo somehow.

It was quite embarrassing to deliberately expose the breastbone like that, to smile insignificantly, or to pretend to be kind and hold out a teacup.

Leo was also embarrassed, so he didn’t even touch the car.

If you take it out now, you will be able to rescue Leo from that fire fox.

The moment I was thinking of running away,

“As you can see, there is no poison. It has a deep flavor, so I hope you enjoy it comfortably.”

That bullying arrogantly crossed the line. The woman who had barely tried to kiss herself, calmly tried to try using the trick of a teacup.

The saliva from those dirty lips remained thickly on the side of the mug.

‘…don’t lift it…! Don’t drink…!! Leo…!!’

Breaking those expectations, his knight grabbed the handle of the teacup.

“Then let’s drink thanks.”

The feeling of betrayal permeates deeply into the body.

Now that Leonardo will not remember the kiss in his dream.

So, allowing that teacup doesn’t mean that you allow an indirect first kiss with that woman.

If his knight puts that glass to his lips, he will overwrite those fallen lips with his own again and again…

“Yes, you even mixed a recovery potion. thank you.”

Leonardo drank a light tea. But Arya was neither angry nor jealous. It was because his own Leo savored the tea after wiping the teacup with a napkin diligently.

‘…I’m sorry for doubting…!! I love you…!! Leonardo!!’

In response to that wise response, Ariaspil became more and more passionate about love. If only Jindo could go further, I wanted to hug him with both arms and whisper praises over and over again.

“…you are very concerned about hygiene.”

That Bulgyeoshi’s face is slightly distorted. It must have been that he was punished for coveting other people’s things.

“Think of it as a ritual to reduce emotions in conversation rather than hygiene.”

“It’s a bit of a disappointing answer. Are you drawing a line?”

“You can think of it as a statement of position… that you cannot convince me in this way.”

Hitting the iron wall, Leonardo elegantly emptied the teacup.

“is it? I thought it was a good strategy.”

Eileen, on the other hand, seemed to have found Leo’s reaction funny, and opened her contorted face.

“Actually, it makes sense when you think about it. You are ambitious.”

Ambitious, even though she was defined by one word, Eileen did not deny her at all.

Because even she herself admits it.

“Even ambitious love is the cornerstone of our goals. Relationships made with love are easy to use.”

Marriage or betrothal was a political strategy frequently used between kingdoms as well as aristocrats. For Eileen, love was a political means of making a relationship with each other and gaining profits using love as an excuse.

“No matter how permissible you may be, you will not have a relationship with the opposite s*x unless you are within the baronies, or have excellent fortune or pedigree as a wizarding line. Isn’t it?”

A decisive tone, she could do anything to deny it, but Eileen listened to the story with a smile.

“…that’s great. I thought he was a young boy, but inside, an old sage is sleeping.”

[How did you know? He is also a descendant of Karen.]

In this subtle relationship, Leonardo felt the pain of sprinkling sand and salt on the bruised wound, but he could barely hold on to the disorganized expression on his face.

“But it could be a different story if you persuade him in a different way.”

Saying so, she held out a large envelope. At first I thought it was money, but surprisingly, the envelope contained various photos and documents.

“This…”

“The original Temperius family should not belong to the mana tower. If the magic is crooked, the magic tower should be able to catch it, but if the magic tower is corrupted, there is no one other than our family to catch it.”

It was a sensible word. In fact, when corruption or unhappiness occurred in Magic Tower, there was no one other than the Temperius family that could have the most influence on Magic Tower.

“okay. It’s a great spirit and responsibility for the position.”

“The documents also contain issues for which the spirit of our family is responsible.”

Looking at the documents and photos, Leonardo carefully puts it back into the envelope and asks:

“Can you show me this?”

“Well… it’s a gamble, but I don’t think it’s worth losing.”

There were various wizards in the photos, and the personal information of the wizards in the documents. To explain in more detail, the crime and corruption of the person were described in detail.

“Is this really happening inside the tower?”

[…you are a deceiver by nature. How can it be so natural to cheat?]

The wise man is also an accomplice, so you should be quiet.

“That’s why I came to the tower. Within about a week, I got a call from the mage masters, the family, and the magicians. Then I reported this corruption and criminal activity.”

“…on such a large scale? how…?”

In fact, the answer was a secret that everyone in this room knew.

“Thanks to the legacy of the sage you found, a corral of truth and facts.”

That was Leo’s plan. They didn’t expect that they would destroy each other so quickly, but this situation was no disadvantage for Leo himself.

“Being openly stored in the pavilion, we were able to make up for insufficient evidence. It’s just a coincidence.”

“…something… embarrassing. I just… wanted to let the world know about the sage’s legacy…”

Although the gaze of the sage on the other side felt cold and cold, Leonardo continued the conversation calmly.

“is it? I think you are the dark curtain that developed the situation.”

If you think it’s an accurate reasoning… then you’re stuck with her number.

“I understand your doubts, but I want to ask you why you are so sure. Why?”

It was because Leo had leisure and confidence.

“First of all, I doubt that the period of your arrival and the period of gathering evidence overlap, and that after obtaining the ornament, it was installed as a public facility in the exhibition hall.”

Clearly, that was an issue worth considering. There’s nothing strange about being on the suspect’s line.

“But… it would take a significant amount of investigation to get this evidence. In fact, the Temperius family and the Magic Tower side were also missing out on these corruptions.”

The logic was still lacking.

“Besides, if I’m the dark side of planning, there must be one thing to consider.”

Because Leo had enough of a decisive alibi.

“The benefit I get from carrying out this case at this risk.”

lack of motivation.

“I have no motivation.”

The reason she still put Leo only in the scope of conjecture, it wasn’t about the ability to gather evidence or how to gain a sage’s legacy.

The purpose and benefit of Leonardo’s intentional and complex act were unclear, so Eileen tried to confirm the conjecture in this way.

“…After all, such a light number doesn’t work.”

“It’s like saying I’m the real culprit.”

The reason Leo is doing this is because he does this because he has a future, a future he saw as a regressor.

It was an area that could not be understood or guessed by her who lives in modern times.

“…Actually, I am not attracted to the expression of being the real culprit or the culprit. In the first place, it is ambiguous to even call it a crime.”

Rather, it was nothing less than uncovering the surrounding crimes and cooperating with the investigation, so it was a matter of gratitude from the point of view of Matop and the family.

“But that’s great. I’m going to refute the loopholes in my reasoning right away.”

“It is the basis of understanding each other’s positions, communication and reasoning.”

Ariasviel, who was overhearing this conversation from afar, looked puzzled.

‘…what are you talking about…?’

The flow of the situation was so complicated that he suddenly intervened, and it was a high-level conversation that he could not fully comprehend.

Without knowing that Ariaspil, Leo wiped the water off his hands with a napkin.

“Thanks for the good evaluation. I learned a lot from the useful battles and conversations.”

The moment I opened my seat like that,

poof

“That’s why you deserve it more.”

Eileen grabbed Leo’s wrist.

“If you were a nobleman, even if you were a fallen family, you would somehow have a connection with our family. marriage? That’s ridiculous.”

A girl from afar was expressing all kinds of hatred for her boldness, but no one knew because she was not far away.

“But unfortunately not.”

She gave Leo a little force and put Leo back in his seat.

“So I don’t suggest it. What if I could make you a nobleman?”

Leonardo trembled a little, perhaps bewildered by the proposal.

“…Is it possible to confer titles? That would be difficult for even the Temperius family to realize, and the damage would be great.”

“The idea is cute.”

Saying so, she handed over the other papers. Leo looked at the documents to answer the question.

“…these are…”

“The succession of titles is closer to the inheritance of family ties than bloodlines.”

The contents of the document were filled with unmarried wizards and wizards who could not have children or lost their children in an accident.

“If you were adopted by a nobleman or a wizarding family, what would your position be?”

It wasn’t a difficult question.

Even Ariaspil, who could not keep up with the conversation, was able to answer.

“But I also have parents. There are circumstances, but…”

“I thought about how to do it. It would be quite disrespectful to you, but I say it with due resolve.”

She took a gentle sip of the tea and opened her mouth.

“If you accept the offer of adoption, I will use all of Temperius’ intelligence and technology to find your parents.”

The magic of the Temperius family was closer to the apex as a magic for tracking and searching, as there were more whistle and investigation-related tasks than the magic tower.

Leonardo felt a slight tremor in his hands.

Maybe it was because he couldn’t find his mother’s body even in his previous life. Or maybe it was because he wanted to believe in his mother’s survival in the corner of his heart.

Even Leo himself did not want to reveal the reason.

“Even if we don’t make a kite with our family.”

At those words, Arya was unable to express neither jealousy nor anger.

Because Eileen’s proposal was so heavy that he could not feel the weight, his act of love became infinitely lighter.

Ariaspil had no choice but to remain silent in despair.
