209 – Staggered Times-2
The training was more arduous and painful than any other time.
Screams and pain continue so much that it feels like a luxury to deal with Leo day and night.
“Quaaa!!”
“uuu…!”
If you bleed your wrists and fracture bones with your fists, anyone will.
“…Ahh…! aaa…!!”
Lumine, who fractured his wing bone with a fist, let out a fierce scream without being entangled in his body.
“Uh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh…!”
Rios let out a tearful moan as he watched the blood gushing violently from his cut wrist.
At first glance, it was more like torture than training.
“…Are you okay?”
“It’s not a good training mentally.
Chris, who was the only one in training without injury, noticed the two of them.
Still, as the eldest person in this position, it was inevitable that training would be carried out in the most comfortable way.
“Come on, stop screaming. You should use magic to stop the bleeding, and you should heal fractures with divinity.”
Anyway, Leonardo forced the two people who were sick with injuries to stand up and hasten their treatment.
For the two of them, who had already been injured by Leo for more than double digits, the prompting seemed like the return of the devil.
“…I see…!!”
“…It hurts so much…!!”
While crying, they slowly healed their injuries.
Since Leo wasn’t going to treat the injuries himself anyway, they had no choice but to alleviate the pain themselves.
“…Huh…Huh…”
“Oops… Ugh…”
They recovered their bodies without being able to speak properly, as if they had squeezed out the strength they had been suckling.
Rios, who continued to bleed from his wrists, soon regained color and his wounds were stopped.
“Lumine is about 10 minutes and 30 seconds, Rios is about 15 minutes? I can’t use it at all in practice right now.”
Of course, Leo’s evaluation of him was harsh, so he had no ability to empathize.
“…Heo-eok… Are you going to break it again…?”
“Uhhh… He looks like a demon of pure love…”
As if they had already given up, the two held out their wrists and wings with a desperate expression. Even if you avoid and run away anyway, Leo will chase you to the end of hell and crush you.
“No, today’s training ends here.”
Unexpectedly, however, Leonardo finished his training near the end of the morning. Compared to the time spent in hunting training, it was more than short and less than half of the level.
“…But I’m still…”
Chris took out his twin swords and felt ashamed of his selfish swordsmanship.
All he does now is give the sword a small vibration, he couldn’t imagine swinging it in the air like Leo demonstrated.
“Of course not. It’s a training that will last for at least two months. It’s not smart to do it in a hurry.”
Leonardo smiled and comforted them and encouraged them. He soon borrowed a blade from Chris and imbued his hand with an aura and his divinity.
“At least until I reach this stage.”
Chack!
The blades stretched out like a colony and spun in the air like a whirlpool.
“It took 10 years. Even two months was tight.”
It was also possible to use these skills only by borrowing the power of the divine, not simply by training the aura.
Perhaps the reason my future self didn’t teach them this skill was largely because I couldn’t use most of it myself.
“…Ah… I see.”
Even with the encouragement that revealed trust in their talents, the three of them didn’t look very bright.
Right now, Leo thought even two months was tight, but in reality, they only had a week left.
I was reminded of what I couldn’t explain directly to Leo himself, and it has tightened their conscience.
{‘…Sorry. Why doesn’t God look after them…’}
[‘…Recovering memories is the priority. But… Then…’]
While the two young girls are immersed in heavy worries.
“… Huh?”
A sudden exclamation came from Leonardo, the direct or indirect cause of this problem.
[…Isn’t that an aria? What are you surprised…]
From noble mtl dot com.
“…Re, Mr. Reynald…!”
Ariaspil, who was far away, stared at Leonardo with a teary expression.
After drinking, I couldn’t remember anything about yesterday, and I woke up in Leo’s bed.
However, Leonardo had already gone out of the room, and the time had already reached the end of the morning.
“Where have you been?”
That’s why Arya had an anxious question.
“What did I do yesterday…!”
I can’t remember what the hell happened yesterday.
“… Huh?”
An exclamation that comes out again.
It wasn’t just Ariaspil.
Leonardo and even the people right next to him stared blankly at the empty space in a state of bewilderment.
“…Where did he go…?!”
Leonardo disappeared from the spot as if he had evaporated. That too, along with the sage.
Unless you’re an idiot, you probably don’t know that Ariasviel was the cause of the escape.
This insignificant getaway lasted for the afternoon.
The level of escaping was comparable to the first training she did with her members, except for Arya.
***
“That… Mr. Reynald…!!”
Ariasviel’s voice echoed in the hallway. Ariaspil did not yet realize that Leonardo was persistently avoiding only him.
“…”
Leonardo hid his presence by minimizing mana, divinity, and basic metabolism including breathing.
A stealth technique that even first-class assassins and spies can barely master.
Such stealth…
[Are you writing to avoid just one woman?]
It was Leo who showed off because he didn’t want to face Ariasviel. The sage looked down at Leo with half-closed eyes as if he was more pitiful than usual.
Leonardo was probably the only person who was less capable of dating than he was.
[Uh, yeah? Then Ari…!]
When the sage tried to accuse Aria of Leo’s location, Leo crumpled her pride like tissue paper and apologized to her.
Apart from the apology, Leo himself did nothing wrong with Aria.
It’s just that Leonardo was too burdened by the revelation then to face Ariaspil right now.
‘No, why did Aria change like that? She was definitely cool, calm, and expressionless, which was what he felt…’
When I first saw Aria in the 2nd episode, she smelled human and showed a lot of girlish features.
When we first met, she was a bit disappointed and worried, but as time went by, she understood.
She suddenly thought that if Arya had someone she could rely on, she could have displayed that kind of personality.
Perhaps she even regretted that the first episode’s Aria had this aspect, but she might have hidden it under the pressure.
‘…But…’
I couldn’t quite understand the confession he made that day.
How can I accept right away that Aria Spiel collected parts of her body, enjoyed pseudo-masturbation with pictures of her, and raped her secretly on the day she slept with her?
‘… Of course she doesn’t hate that, but it’s rather nice… No, what is she thinking…!! I am…!!’
Leo couldn’t understand that she was like a flower that bloomed on the cliff of a snowy mountain.
It’s good, but accepting it was a completely different matter.
‘What the hell am I supposed to do…!’
“What are you doing here?”
At that moment, Ain calmly licked the lollipop given to him by Silica while looking at Leo who was hanging in a blind spot on the ceiling.
It was Leo’s stealth technique that even a well-trained warrior could not find, but Ain surpassed the human category, and his senses were excellent enough to search for even beings without mana.
‘…Ain-ah, don’t tell me. Please tell me…’
Although Leo opened his mouth and sent a telepathic message to Ain.
“Oh, what is there?”
“My father is here.”
Unfortunately, Ain was a child who was used to intuitive commands rather than notice.
With that one word, Aria sprinted towards that direction with all her might, and Leo descended from the ceiling and started running with all her might.
“Wait a minute!! Mr. Raynald!! Please stop for a second!!”
Aria desperately pursued Leo by calling him by his pseudonym.
“…aaa!!”
Leo couldn’t even protest and ran away with a loud scream.
Aura is the basics, and a chase that even mobilizes bloody fighting. At first glance, it seemed like a long-term battle, but there was an unexpected variable.
“Huh?!”
A rock suddenly sprouted from the hallway floor and grabbed Leo. Even Arya herself sensed the power of her spirit as if she was perplexed.
[Looks like you want it.]
Her spirit has already reached the stage where she uses her magic by judging herself only with Arya’s thoughts.
A great boon for Ariaspil.
“…Sir Reynald…”
Ariaspil gradually pushed Leonardo toward the wall. No matter how much they fell, if they approached normally, there was a strong chance they would escape.
“…That’s… That’s why… On purpose…”
The moment Leonardo, completely driven into a corner, makes excuses with gibberish,
“…I’m really sorry…!!”
Arya bowed her head and apologized. She wanted to bend down to her waist, but she had no choice but to accept it as it would hit her body and face.
“…Huh…?”
Her reaction, completely unexpected for her Leonardo, and her sudden apology made him stare blankly at her no matter what he said.
“Is it because I… Made a mistake at a drinking party yesterday…? Really sorry…! I have no shame… But no matter how much I think about it, I can’t remember…”
Ariaspil understood the principle of why Leo did that.
Avoiding himself because there was obviously something embarrassing at the drinking party last night.
Whether it was the 1st or 2nd playthrough, I got a clearer intuition that it would be the case with Leonardo.
“…I don’t remember at all? That is?”
Leonardo quietly let go of her guard and made Aria raise her head.
“…Yes, I’m sorry… It’s not something the wrong person will say… It’s the first time I’ve had alcohol, so I can’t think of anything…”
Arya didn’t meet her gaze, utterly intimidated and pitiful like a puppy in the rain.
Judging by Leo’s avoidance like that, it was clear that the mistake he made yesterday was not an ordinary one.
It was only then that I could understand that adults usually say that alcohol is really their enemy.
“…That’s too much… You did it so badly yesterday that you can’t even remember?”
As if the oblivion was an opportunity, Leo changed his attitude and began to make mistakes. The sage turned her head and went out of the wall as if she was stunned by such opportunism.
“…Yes…?! I am…! What…!”
Arya was stomping her feet like a child standing on thin ice. She didn’t know the extent of her mistake, so she had no idea how anxious she should be.
“…You confessed that you like me. You idiot.”
Leonardo covered the story with good intentions and told the story of yesterday. Arya’s face gradually turned red just from her wrapped story.
“Yes…?! That… how…!”
“You were holding on to your pants crotch and crying and begging? If you marry me, I will do anything~ You can treat me like a dog or a slave~”
“…I said…!?”
“Then~ This one has also been refined a lot.”
You can think of it as excessive s*xual harassment, but if you think about what happened yesterday, this level was very well-intentioned purification and packaging.
“…That’s right…! That… That’s… That’s… Then…”
Arya, her face completely blushed by that white lie, wiggled her fingers, avoiding her gaze.
It’s embarrassing, but on the other hand, it’s as if it’s expected.
“…What was your answer…? Will you accept it?”
“…Huh? It’s… More than that, do you believe what I said?”
She asked Aria back as if Leo, who lied to her, was rather embarrassed. It was unnatural for her to trust her own words so obediently.
“…That’s…”
Arya Spiel intertwined her thighs with her hands clasped behind her back and stammered her words as if embarrassed.
“…From the first time we met… From the beginning…”
It is a feeling that can be confidently claimed to others, but it is a hot feeling that is difficult to explain to Leo himself.
“Because I liked it from the first meeting…! Because I liked it, and I endured it every day…!”
Arya managed to confess her feelings by shouting.
A brief silence in the hot air.
A sense of uneasiness was revived just by that silence.
“Is that so?”
When Leo saw Aria like that, he felt her lips twitch and go up.
She’s so cute that you want to bite her, so you can’t even get mad at her.
“…So… Are you all right?”
“No, I can’t.”
With that one word of denial, Arya seemed to have lost everything in the world, including her eyes.
She was joking, but even Leo was worried, so she added an afterword right away.
“For now.”
“…Yes?”
“Let’s get her memories back and answer. If you answer now, it will be complicated and difficult later.”
As I listened to her words to the end, the lifeline of her aria was barely connected. If her answer had been delayed by two seconds, she would have fainted as Aria did.
“…Yes, but…”
“Are you so sorry that you just put up with it?”
Leonardo gave her a bloody smile as he pulled away from Aria, who had driven her into the wall.
“I’ve been patient for over 40 years.”
“To me…40 years…?”
Arya hesitated for a moment.
By the time she interpreted her implied meaning in those words, Aria had already fainted from the heat of her love.
