2nd Rank Has Returned

Arya Learns-5

Leonardo’s mother

When Leo passed the age of 9 to 10, Ren went out of town with a request.

Leo kept the house quietly because she swore that she would be able to live with both legs straight for several months if this request was completed, and because she trusted her mother.

When a month passed, I thought it was as difficult as the allowance. Because the mercenary business had difficulties that could not be realized by listening to it.

When two months had passed, my worries had reached the bottom of my chin. Maybe he was hurt to the point where he couldn’t come back, or had he… abandoned himself?

After three months, Leonardo remembered his promise to his mother.

If there is no contact at all for three months, he is said to be dead. So don’t worry about it any more.

So the boy remembered the promise.

-I will be back.

I went to find my mother, who disappeared without keeping her promise.

It was still around 10 years old.

***

Ariaspil’s jealousy, let alone the anger in Eileen, had faded.

It wasn’t because of compassionate feelings like forgiveness or tolerance.

The absolute meaning that could not be denied or refuted, only despair remained in Arya.

‘…Leo’s parents…’

He knew all the stories from Chief Anus. What was Leo’s reason for leaving the village, and what he had been looking for during the three years he had become such a body?

“I apologize for arbitrarily investigating my family and private life. But this offer is sincere.”

Leo asked in a cold tone with a slightly stiff expression.

“You mean making a deal with your parents?”

“I have no intention of denying your disrespect and contempt. This is an issue that I have no choice but to accept regardless of my intentions.”

But Eileen had made up her mind to do so. It wasn’t just because she was ambitious.

“But I really wanted to help you. I can’t even imagine what it was like for you, who is not yet 20 years old, to gain such power and strength.”

Ariaspil only thought that Leo’s strength and effort were simply great. He believed that the effort he had made to obtain such power was truly worthwhile.

However

Arya now realizes.

That there are people who cannot allow life at all without strength and effort.

Even though he always had that person by his side, he just fluttered in love.

“That’s why we didn’t necessarily presuppose that we had a relationship with our family. Because as an adult, I want to respect your choices.”

That’s why he couldn’t separate Leo from Eileen. It wasn’t because of love or guilt.

Because he had no right to interfere in this from the beginning, and Leonardo had the right to choose.

She closed and closed her heart in despair.

He was afraid to even hear, so the auras in his ears and eyes gradually disappeared.

As the sound gradually faded,

“I’m sorry, but I will decline the offer.”

His article made a choice.

“Are you… were you uncomfortable?”

“no. We know that such graces and offers do not come easily. But even if I had said it myself and someone who knew my family had offered it to me, I would have turned it down.”

At some point, the senses were concentrated again.

“…can I tell you why?”

Leonardo answered without hesitation. As if there was no hesitation in the first place.

“Because that’s how I keep my promises.”

“Are you valuing the loyalty of your family?”

Judgment like an ambitious person, if you think soberly, you will come to such a conclusion.

“It could be, but I also do it to keep my promises to my people.”

However, Leo was only a resourceful person, not an ambitious one.

“The promise I made with the head of the household, the promise I made with Chris, and even the employee who works in the family is a precious person who gave me virtue and shared a relationship with me. You cannot abandon them.”

Today’s boy values the people who made him who he is.

“Finding your parents, what do you think? Consider changing the conditions if you wish…”

“And I have to keep my promise to my mother.”

Leonardo’s mother, Ren, always made one promise before leaving work as a mercenary.

-Three months, no matter how long, it takes only three months to confirm that a person is dying. So if you don’t come back after 3 months, I think I’m dead.

To a young child, unfiltered and factual advice, nevertheless, Leonardo nodded his head and made a promise.

Because Ren always came back within a week.

“I went out of town and searched for traces of my mother for a year,”

First, I went to the mercenary guild. If the death has been dealt with, the bereaved family will also be notified, so I was going to ask about it.

-…Ren-sama was reported missing two months ago. I couldn’t find the body…

At the time, that was enough. Unless there was a certainty that it was a corpse, I was only betting on hope.

“On the second day like that, I gave up. The world was afraid that I would be angry, so instead of giving a definite answer, they enjoyed euphemisms.”

Her mother’s body did not come out, and her acquaintances had long since abandoned Ren first.

Leonardo was too young and weary to cling to such a glimmer of hope.

“It was only then that I was able to keep my promise to my mother. It took too long to accept.”

“…”

Eileen, Arya, let alone the wise man, and even Leo who spoke, fell into silence for a moment.

“If you could use the power of the Temperius to find the bodies of your parents, you would definitely be lucky. I also want to take my mother to the grave.”

Leo’s eyes were wet with indifferent sorrow. It is said that the pain of a parent who lost a child is unfathomable, but because a child does not make the parent comfortable.

The boy was grieving.

“But… if, if Mother is really alive…”

Bubbles boil a little in that sadness. The calm, indifferent sleep is shaken by air bubbles.

“I don’t know how to meet. If it’s true that they really abandoned me, all the hard years and love I’ve had until now will all turn into resentment, and I can’t seem to forgive them…”

I know that my mother died because I returned. I had no intention of denying him.

However, it had been a long time since the longing and regrets of their parents had opened up in Leo’s heart without any regrets.

“…I’m sorry. I made your wounds worse in a rude way.”

“it’s okay. I’m not going to join the Temperius family anyway, and I’m going to bury the bones in Reinhardt.”

Saying it was okay, she threw a fastball, which helped draw a line and erase her guilt at the same time.

“You have great loyalty to your family. It’s just that we can’t recruit talented people like you.”

“Because of the loyalty of the family, of course there is.”

Leonardo said with a smirk.

“I can’t leave Miss Arya alone.”

A bright smile that is reversed and contradictory from before.

“I want to be by your side.”

It was a bright smile without a single worry or sadness.

Ariaspil, who was far away, blushed at those words. When their gazes overlapped, she hastily hid her face.

However, there was no way Leo could see the hastily hidden redness.

“…the sky is so indifferent. If I had met him first, Temperius would have been able to thrive.”

“Then I must thank Heaven. Because you gave me the fortune to be with Ariaspil-sama.”

Now even her ears are red, and Arya hastily pulled out the aura from her ear. Being so personable, Arya stopped welcoming the boy’s face.

“What a mean man.”

“I hear that a lot. Then let’s get up first.”

“Wait, I still have something to say.”

At that, Leonardo looked a little confused. Is there still any means left?

“do not worry. I am not trying to convince you.”

She also emptied the cold teacup and left a small request.

“Me and the masters will take this corruption to the Magic Association to deal with it. Of course, the same would be true for wizards who were punished. It’s the first time in a tower of this scale.”

There are countless disciplinary measures for corruption and crime, but since such a large-scale crime has been reported for several years at once, a large-scale cleanup will occur.

From the point of view of the family and magician, it would be complicated and difficult to deal with.

“It must be quite confusing.”

“Yeah, it’s confusing. And to this chaos is added even more frenzy.”

She said so and told me one more thing.

“Recently, the number of disappearances around the tower is increasing. There are still few victims, but the target was a wizard, so I was a little suspicious.”

“…are you a warlock?”

Eileen looked at Leo with a slightly startled look at her quick guess and anticipation. But then, as if nothing more surprising, he smiled.

“I’m guessing like that. In the original case, I should have investigated, but once this has happened, I will not be able to come back right away.”

“Does that mean the warlock will run rampant again in the meantime?”

“…I’m not sure, but there’s a good chance it will. It is a natural phenomenon that the crime rate rises when the horsemen leave their seats as a result of the disciplinary process.”

However, the scale of the incident was too large for one of the other matoap owners to protect the matop. If there is a problem with the tower he manages and the defense or explanation is delayed, he has to take full responsibility for it.

“I urge you to be careful. I don’t think you or your girl will be easily beaten, though.”

“Thank you for your concern. If there is something to point out, I will let you know.”

“Thank you so much for being silly.”

Saying that, Leo went out of the cafe.

[Are you okay?]

＜…there is no guarantee that the body will remain.＞

Leonardo did not give up after two years. But the more I did it, the more clear the evidence that he was dead, so I just stopped.

＜Now is the time to overcome.＞

[Is that so? Then it was done.]

It was a very fresh and poignant question and answer.

So it was rather comfortable.

[Isn’t that Aria?]

“…uh? Is that so?”

Ariaspil, who was walking in the nearby city, seemed to be looking for himself who had disappeared.

“miss!!”

Leo ran towards such Aria happily.

“uh? Leo…?”

But Ariaspil looked a little tired. He looked more tired than Leo who participated in the fierce battle.

“…I’m…are you okay?”

“uh…? uh…”

It wasn’t okay to pretend. His breath was constantly panting, and his uneven gaze was similar to the symptoms of mana exhaustion.

‘…maybe because of me…’

Did you try so hard to find yourself? Even wasting mana like this… for myself…

“…Lady, I’ll pick you up. As it is now…”

“No, it’s okay. You must have been too much…”

And Arya had another reason to be tired.

‘I spent too much mana just concentrating on the conversation…’

Arya was just wasting Aurors to spy more clearly and neatly.

“Don’t do that… 👌…?!”

At that sound, Arya looked at Leo.

obvious moan.

It’s strange to call it a song of pain,

It is erotic to be called a scream from fear,

It was a moan out of s*xual desire.

“…Leo…?”

“Sorry… I’m sorry. I accidentally lifted it up while trying to forcefully…”

Leo quickly removed his hand from her chest. It was as if he was holding her, who seemed to have fallen, with his arms, and accidentally touched her.

“Ugh~”

A relaxed smile comes out of nowhere. Seeing Leonardo’s bewildered expression, who was always thorough and relaxed, made it feel like the old fatigue was gone.

“okay? I’m fine.”

With a mischievous and demanding smile like a goblin, Arya took Leo’s arm while saying that.

“Yes? What…?”

Then he tucked his hard forearm between his breastbones. Then he crossed his arms and bound Leo’s arm completely.

The soft skin and the feel of rich fat were more than embarrassing, but a touch that made me feel ecstatic for a while.

“ruler…! Wait…!! This is…!!”

“why? Can’t you even support me like this?”

A question that went from being casual to being clever.

This is more than a boost…

Taesan-like beings pressing both arms stimulated the boy’s nerves.

In just a few years, the little girl had a figure equal to that of a lady.

It was enough to make a boy like a wooden stone move.

Then Arya learned.

the heart of this dull man.
