200 – Patience Training-5
Sister
In the case of non-kinship, a word used by a younger man to address or call an older woman affectionately.
When I didn’t know Leo’s real age, he was a title I wanted to hear at least once.
However, when he learned of Leo’s return, he kindly gave up that wish.
As far as common sense goes, Leo, who is dozens of years older, calling himself older sister was a miracle that wouldn’t happen unless he became senile.
And
‘Leonardo…! Leo…! Now…! Me…!’
Now that miracle happened suddenly.
The sound of a noble title that you probably won’t hear in your entire life echoes in your ears.
Extreme euphoria shuddered through his whole body, especially his waist hugged by Leo.
No matter what kind of bed or blanket you cover, you won’t be able to feel this soft yet rough touch that you feel on this big forearm.
And before long, an urgent aura was transmitted from that strong arm.
It was only embarrassing to say it, but Leo felt his hamstrings tingle at Eileen’s soft attitude.
Rather, it was less frightening at the time when he made strong acid rain fall on the battlefield he was fighting.
“…You must have been very scared of Leo.”
Aryasviel wasn’t stupid enough to kick an opportunity like this. He lovingly embraced Leo, who was drowning in shame, and gently stroked his sturdy body.
Seeing that action, Aileen’s expression went beyond melancholy and was weighed down with gloomy despair. Now it was his complete defeat that he could not even lose.
“It seems that he made his choice.”
“I’m glad you know.”
There was a war of nerves between the smiles to create a crack in the space, but fortunately the murderous intent buried inside did not come out.
“…Then I’d like to get to the point, but can I move?”
Cheongtapju sighed as he saw Leo in his arms like a child.
‘If possible, I was going to recommend it as an agent for the red pagoda owner…’
Since the person who needs to hear this story the most is like that, it was very difficult for the current Mage Tower representative.
‘…I want to die… But why are you so cozy again…’
Leonardo was so busy acting that his suicidal desire and s*xual desire were extremely twisted to the point where the worries of such a blue tower were futile.
‘…Leo said she was your sister! Leo called me older sister! Leo hugged me and he said he was an older sister!!’
Ariaspil had no choice but to draw out as much patience as possible to endure the formidable desire.
Even getting to the main point of the meeting was a long and difficult task.
Gladio pressed her forehead as she thought.
* * *
“… Ha… It’s been a while.”
Leonardo, who had given up acting, felt genuine gratitude for being able to speak in his natural tone.
Before returning, how did I gritting my teeth, starting from a child to a capable young man to a gentleman?
The person who cursed at me for being a hypocrite was so respectful of my future self that I was ashamed of myself for a moment.
[You’ve worked hard~ Preschooler Leo child~ It’s break time, so get a lot of hugs from Aria noona~]
Currently, the Mage Tower and Reinhardt are taking a break.
I was considerate of Leonardo’s inability to adapt to the situation, and I needed some time to organize my thoughts at least for the Mage Tower and the others who would accept this situation.
“Shut up your mouth. Old man, before you pluck out your real heart and throw it away.”
As long as he was with the wise man, this time could never be a break for Leonardo.
As he smirked and giggled in the form of a small boy, the attack power of the mockery was amplified several times, making Leo’s ears ring.
But it wasn’t that Leo didn’t prepare a means to stop such a sage.
“Ainah.”
“Yes.”
As soon as Ain heard Leo’s voice even though he was outside the room, he immediately charged into the room. Even though he was simply called, the image of him rushing immediately seemed like
[Hey! Hit me now…Quek…!]
Despite the appearance of a child, Ain’s fern-like hands, without mercy, broke the spiritual body of a wise man like a mace.
Perhaps he now has a knack beyond familiarity, he put a headlock on to prevent the sage from escaping, and then thoroughly beaten his face.
Perhaps, if the representative mages, whose respect for the wise man was soaring to the sky, saw this, they would deny their magical life entirely.
“It must have been difficult to act naturally. Are you okay?”
“…Ah… It’s okay. Should be fine…”
Thanks to the praise, Leo was able to ruminate on the fact that he had shown such ugliness in front of Ain.
It was as if he felt the joys and sorrows of a father who had heard sympathy from his child, saying, “Cheer up, Dad.”
“What were you doing outside of that? He didn’t come in for about 20 minutes.”
Usually, Ain has never been away from his side unless it was a special situation. Wanting to know what’s going on outside, Leo asked an implicit question.
“With her mother, I briefly watched Uncle Rios having a tryst.”
“…Ah, that… Puff…!”
A fountain spewed from the corner of Leo’s mouth as he was drinking water as he was thirsty for the smoke. In such a melee-like situation, when the word tryst came out of the girl’s mouth, she couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
Especially if the opponent is Rios.
“…What?! Rios?! With who?!”
“He had a tryst with Amerie in the garden. Although it cast a deterrence spell on it, it was rather so that her mother noticed right away.”
You may not know about other knights or wizards, but the warrior’s sixth sense is as sensitive as that of a detection dog.
Rather, casting a perception-damping spell gave Arya the coordinates to track her location.
“Should I go too?”
“No. If another Mage Tower Lord or Eileen finds out, there is a high possibility of raising suspicion.”
Ain’s words were the right theory. The reason why Leonardo continued to rest here was to reduce the number of points of contact that would be discovered by the Mage Tower and the others.
If you go outside and show awkwardness in conversation or behavior, there is a lot of threat of raising suspicion.
“I know it’s dangerous, but I have an idea.”
Soon after, Leonardo rose from his seat and began to slowly wipe away the spouting water.
It wasn’t too awkward for him to clean up the water he spilled, so both the sage and the subhumans just watched Leo as the horse was wiping the floor.
“…Was it gone?”
Ain himself is a strange question.
However, when Leo suddenly disappeared while wiping under the table, Ain had no choice but to ask such a question based on his rich emotions.
“This way.”
“Yes? Oh…”
When Ain turned his head, Leo pressed Ain’s cheek with his index finger. Leo, who he thought was hiding under the table, was already behind him.
“…Is it sacred art?”
Because he couldn’t use magic, that was the only realm that Ajin’s imagination could reach.
It was difficult to consider this special movement method other than sacred art.
“Similar but different. It’s just that after blocking mana with divinity, he went to the blind spot and hid.”
Unlike the method of concealing the divinity wrapped around the body, it was an assassin’s stealth method that killed human beings by putting all the mana in the body into the body.
[…If you’re hiding like this, it’s fine.]
Unlike stealth techniques that depended on magic or divinity, this method of stealth was difficult to expose to Arya’s ghost-like intuition, and even if they were caught, even if they were caught, it was difficult to find intentionality, so they could not be questioned.
A stealth technique that hides even stealth.
[But do I have to use that kind of thing when I’m looking at other people’s private lives?]
The only problem was that the purpose of writing was extremely private and useless.
“That bastard is all about other people’s love affairs, but he has nothing to say. Furthermore…”
Leo also desperately needed a reason to find out and keep this information.
“I also have to hold on to dark history or secrets so that today’s work won’t be messed with.”
It was just desperation born from the height of selfishness.
The sage said to himself, [Trash kid], Wondering if he was right.
* * *
Leo walked down the hallway using stealth. Although the footsteps were quite fast, the footsteps did not make any sound, thanks to the influence of the footsteps.
When I arrived at the garden at the end of my steps, I didn’t have to look for it, and I immediately noticed the place where Arya was hiding.
Although she has monster-level talent in her battles, Arya’s stealth skills in front of her were mediocre.
“Aria…!”
Leo quietly touched Arya’s back.
“Kyaa…!”
Arya let out a moan as if her sensitive area had been stimulated. If Leo hadn’t covered her mouth, maybe Rios and Ameri themselves across the garden would have noticed as well.
“…Leo, Leo…? Why out…”
“Have fun alone? See you together Otherwise, I’ll tell all the pure love fanatics.”
“What nonsense…!”
While Leo and Arya were whispering and bickering, Rios’ voice was heard in the garden wearing cognitive impairment.
Aria and Leo’s nerves are directed in that direction to the point where they have no choice but to stop fighting.
“…So I’m really sorry. I tried to explain if possible…”
“I didn’t. Eventually.”
Unlike the other times, Ameri was consistent with an indifferent and cold voice.
Leo, who doesn’t know Ameri, thinks that Rios likes strong women, but Aria feels a bit afraid of Ameri’s first attitude.
“…That’s why the wise man…”
“Do you think I am mad at you right now?”
The gaze reflected in the glasses of the sorceress with her arms folded was cold, as if she had been mixed with freezing magic. It was the first time that both Leo and Arya had seen Rios bewildered, without violence and without a trace.
“…Then…?”
“Then? Did you say so now?”
Ameri drove him to pour out her anger without even touching Rios’ body.
“You suddenly teleported and appeared in front of me, and when you dealt with the enemy tower owner, you bleed profusely and collapsed.”
The root of that anger was based on worry.
“But when you woke up, you only confessed, did you explain the circumstances properly? I knew that the owner of the red tower was a traitor from the beginning, that it was related to Leo-kun’s parents, and even the wise man. You didn’t explain anything.”
Rios couldn’t deny it.
Because I knew Amery wasn’t pressuring me with just her voice.
Even if it were Rios himself, he would have been worried with that attitude.
“…That’s… I want you to be safer…”
“Safety? After all, it could have been dangerous. Do you know how it feels to have heard all these stories from other people?”
After being threatened by the enemy tower owner,
The Black Tower Lord announced his retirement, and Ameri had to carry out various information and duties as the official successor and agent of the Black Tower Lord.
I was able to endure the work itself due to the overwork from my life as a graduate student, but that didn’t mean it was easy.
“…Mi, sorry…”
“Listen to the end and apologize! I’m not done talking yet!”
When Rios seemed impatient to apologize, Amery raised her voice and yelled at Rios.
Rios had no choice but to follow Ameri’s words, like a beast being trained by a zookeeper.
“You know what pisses me off the most?”
“…”
Perhaps it was thanks to his learning, Rios recklessly did not answer. Since it wasn’t a question she wanted an answer to, Ameri revealed her true intentions by hitting Rios’ chin as it was.
“I didn’t know about this, but I was so happy that I was confessed to by you.”
“…Uh…Yes?”
When the unexpected love was revealed, Rios couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
When she woke up from the hospital bed, Ameri’s reaction when she barely confessed that she liked her was more aloof than I thought.
She didn’t refuse, so she was a little relieved, but in a corner of Rios’ heart, a feeling of anxiety was sprouting that she might have been considerate of her sick self.
“Whether it’s the Magic Tower or wherever, I always thought it would be nice if you, who I felt closest to, would be interested in me, and I was always afraid that I, who was the farthest in terms of status, could stay with you!”
Ameri’s sincerity pulls out even the roots of her insecurities.
“When I received the confession, I froze in confusion as to how to answer it, and I was too busy worrying that if I received the confession, Reinhardt would be in trouble!”
Ameri’s eyes were moist. She likes it, but this feeling of being angry was enough to make her teary-eyed.
“And what annoys me the most is…!”
Two blue tickets were revealed in her pocket.
“I was trying to tell you to go to the Magic Tower Festival! I wouldn’t have bought it if you had just explained the red pagoda owner!!”
Shouting enough to shake even her deterrence magic, Ameri huffed at her hot breath from her reddened face, controlling her breathing.
“…Take this. Because you don’t need Make an excuse now.”
As if she didn’t have the stamina to be more irritated, Amery handed Rios her turn along with her ticket.
From noble mtl dot com.
“…It’s a very heavy story. Did you know…?”
“…No. I knew you liked it, but…”
Aria and Leo, who were peeping at this situation, shed a cold sweat at a completely different love conversation than they expected.
Nevertheless, the reason I listened to the story of the two without turning my head or looking away was because I was curious to hear that much.
“…What’s going on?”
At that moment, without footsteps, a woman’s voice rang out. In this situation, it was the voice of a woman who should not have come the most.
“…Eileen?”
“What are you doing at the garden entrance?”
Eileen suddenly appeared and observed Leo and Aria with a suspicious look.
Her reasoning skills were so good that her private detective even folded her business card.
“…Ah…That’s…”
“…I…So…”
Both Leo and Arya know.
If Eileen intervenes in this situation, she will have no chance to clear up the misunderstanding and reconcile.
She had to somehow break through and cheat.
That ambitious, suspicious wizard.
“…Leo, let’s go to the bathroom with your sister. You can’t do it here.”
And Aria’s base was the best move for Eileen, and the worst move for Leo.
“…Our Leo…? Are you in a hurry?”
Arya noticed her with the slightest glance. Leo had all sorts of earthquakes in his pupils at that humiliating skit, but he couldn’t do anything else.
“…Uh…Yeah, sorry. Sister… I don’t know where the bathroom is.”
“You can’t do that. Next time you try to go alone, your sister will scold you.”
Leo swallowed the humiliation enough to make his lips bleed.
“…Was wrong… Older sister…”
“…Then let’s go.”
“Ah… Okay.”
When a confused gaze crosses three directions and falls away.
“…That’s… You know. Ameri…”
Rios instead of excuses.
“I already bought it. I want to go with you…”
I took out the sincerity contained in the ticket.
As the four tickets overlapped, Ameri felt her angry face melt away.
“…I didn’t know that the red pagoda business would turn out this way. I thought I would be able to subdue it soon… But I was arrogant and did wrong to you…”
“…So?”
“…I was really wrong. Ameri… I’ll do anything, so please forgive me…”
Rios lowered his head without seeing him even though he opened his eyes.
Even if Ameri kicked her now, she had to accept it. Because she had nothing to say, even if she did what she did, even as her friend, even if she was belittled for the rest of her life.
“…Then go to the festival next year. Together from morning until dawn.”
Ameri lifted both of Rios’ cheeks. Starting from the gaze, each other’s warmth was transmitted through contact.
“…Uh…? With that… are you okay?”
She was better than I thought, and she had to ask for confirmation, not even accepting the offer, which she even thanked herself.
“Instead, confess properly when you go then.”
“…Correctly?”
“As the owner of the Black Tower, I will become a woman who can be properly confessed to by you.”
“…Uh… That’s…”
Looking at the frozen man, Ameri smiled. It was hard to get even more angry because she was so cute.
“Answer?”
“Uh…! Huh…! Doing the best…!”
The lips met.
The gaze closely adheres to each other’s face, and the lips gently embrace each other.
“Okay, I’ll look forward to it.”
Ameri left the garden like that.
Rios thought as he waved his hand without saying anything.
He said he really didn’t know anything about Sunae.
