210 – Staggered Times-3
The six days of special training went unexpectedly for Leo.
“…Why does this happen?”
Leo couldn’t help but be surprised in the sense of acknowledgment, not disappointment. Their skills grew more smoothly and quickly than expected.
[…What did the guy who trained me to say?]
“Still, there is such a thing as expected.”
It’s not to the level of Aria Spiel, but at the point where Leo himself couldn’t hide his surprised expression, it far exceeded what he expected.
“To the extent that Eoduksini would admire it… Fortunately, you have kept the honor of Darkness.”
Three Chriss raised their thumbs proudly as they launched six Alter Blades into the air.
As for how he did it from the point of view of writing an alter ego, Leo could see the principle and effort.
“You guys are great too, right? More than expected.”
“…Ha… Ha… About 3 minutes now…?”
“With the power of love…! I overcame it…!”
Despite the hemorrhage and compound fractures that were more difficult to treat than the last time, Lumine and Rios shortened the recovery rate several times.
It was a slow axis compared to Leo and Aria, but if those two, close to the support role, had such a regenerative ability, they would have evolved in two stages as a full force.
“…You guys didn’t do what I told you to do, what else did you do?”
Leonardo, who was smiling, questioned the three of them with a serious expression.
The three of them, who were proud of their achievements, felt the chill in the air at that one word.
According to Leo’s reasoning, unlike Leo’s plan, they overworked and strengthened their bodies with additional training.
I wasn’t expecting praise, but I was worried that Leo might have disrupted the training he had planned.
{I hope you don’t disparage or criticize the desire to improve yourself. They also…}
“Who said reprimand?”
Amid the current, Angela made a benevolent defense for the lambs, but Leo had no intention of blaming them in the first place.
I just need to check.
“There is usually a motive. I was wondering if there was a reason why I suddenly became desperate for this type of training.”
Even if Chris’s swordsmanship was passed, the training method of Lumine and Rios was a form of torture accompanied by self-harm, and it was a human habit to avoid it no matter how strong of a grit.
To overcome that was impossible without the motivation to stimulate the will.
“…That’s…”
The real motive was that he had to acquire the ability faster than Leo had planned, so the 2-month time Leo thought was nonexistent was the cause.
However, he could not explain the reason to Leo himself.
[‘Don’t tell me. It’s dangerous to let them know even rationally.’]
It wasn’t just an emotional problem that Leo couldn’t take to the demon king’s subjugation.
There was a strong possibility that Leonardo was included among the demon king’s vessels, and the suitability rate for him could not be ignored.
From noble mtl dot com.
Perhaps a human named Leo might be the biggest cornerstone for the coming of the demon king.
“…Because I don’t want to get caught.”
That’s why Chris tried to reveal her motives while hiding the most important parts as much as possible. Her lies were not skillful, but this was something she had to represent herself as an adult.
“I thought I had no choice but to overdo it in order not to repeat the same mistake as Reinhardt.”
However, this heart was sincere even if it was hidden. Even Christ, Lumine and Rios could do anything beyond this group.
Because Leo has always cut his soul above that.
“…That’s right, I can’t hide it. I can tell just by looking at your eyes.”
I was able to catch a glimpse of it as soon as I saw it, regardless of the effort to hide it.
In her first life, as a Leo who first took Chris as her teacher, she was able to lightly see through her feelings.
Most of all, Christina was not good at her lies.
“Still, it’s something special, so I won’t argue further.”
But Leonardo just saw her Chris’ eyes turn awkwardly in different directions, and she didn’t mean to interrogate her too much.
Because I could see at a glance that you wouldn’t be able to devise a malicious plot with just those eyes.
She said, “If she has done a good job, is it right to praise her for doing a good job? Is not it?”
Saying that, Leo patted her on the head, immediately finding Chris’ body in her. Her Leo’s height, which must have been shorter than her master’s, had grown so much that he had to look down on her.
“…Oh, it’s okay! More than that, I’m past the age to receive something like this…!”
Chris took one step back as he let out a tonally embarrassed expression. It wasn’t that she hated Leo, but her ignorance caused goosebumps in her body.
“My 30s are like a friend to me, so it reminds me of the old days. At that time, I was in the receiving position.”
Anyway, Leonardo was recalling her own old memories.
From the days when she was learning the basics of her basics, now that she is in a position to teach herself, her feelings were strangely new.
“Oh, I see.”
“Yes. At that time, it was nice to be able to concentrate without thinking…”
There was no time to indulge in her old memories.
Everyone in front of Leo had their mouths wide open and their pupils digging. The wise man and even Angela just looked straight ahead with trembling lips.
Soon Leonardo realized.
Who just answered?
“…Arya, you came out early…? It’s not your time to train yet…”
Ariaspil, who had been behind Leo for a while, smiled and said with her eyes wide open. Even though he was smiling, Leo’s blood pressure soared anxiously with only slightly raised blood vessels.
“Ah, Reynold-sama seems to be having a hard time, so I brought some simple snacks. I hope you enjoy your meal while training happily with Chris~”
Even though Rios and Lumine were there, she had a rough sense of when Aria was in this place at the point of picking Chris.
It is probably no coincidence that the handle of the snack basket containing Arya vibrates anxiously and makes a compressed sound.
“…Come on, Aria, let’s train quickly! Eat snacks together!”
Leo hurriedly shoved Arya’s back and rectified the situation as much as possible. There was no particular meaning in what he did to Chris, but something completely different must have come into Arya’s eyes.
“It’s okay! The atmosphere is looking good right now…”
“Children! You guys are doing well, so today ends here! Get some rest!”
When Aria Spiel put on the brakes with his foot and revealed that he was sprained like a stickler, Leonardo, afraid of his back end, hurriedly moved his body to soothe him.
I couldn’t believe that the man at first said that he was going to kill Arya Spiel, and that he was the only opponent and the inevitable opponent.
[…I had a scary thought.]
{Is there anything more frightening here? Sage?}
She was already a holy woman who was feared enough with Leo and Arya, but the sage’s old heart was beyond that.
[Couldn’t he have seduced the daughter of a descendant of Kalen like that?]
{…Can I sleep with the wise man for today?}
[I don’t sleep, but I’ll think about it. It’s really creepy…]
At the wise man’s words, everyone looked at Leo, who left in awe. They sincerely thought that the harmless Om Fatal might be what Leo was referring to.
* * *
An explosion rang out. A beam of light shoots through the mansion’s sky, and a feast of explosions and ruptures fills the ground.
No one will understand that this fight is not a siege with cannons, but a roar of two men clashing swords.
Until you see it yourself.
“…Heo-euk… Oops… Let’s take a break now…”
Leo, exhausted from the bombardment that even mobilized Arya’s bloody combat, gasped for breath and requested a ceasefire.
“Already…? Haa… I can still add more…?”
Maybe it’s because the aftermath of earlier is still left behind, but Arya acted pointless even though her stamina and mana were all different.
“…I can add more…! Let’s just get some rest…! The snacks must be cold…!”
“…I can’t help it…! In fact, I can’t fight anymore…!”
“I can fight, but I’m just watching…! Oh my…!”
After a childish argument, the two lay down on their seats.
The gymnasium was already warped with craters and cracks just with the two of them fighting, but to the tired two, that was a trivial matter.
“…Ha… I’m good at teaching now…? Hi-Hi…”
Ariaspil smiled brightly as he took a bite of the sandwich the chef had wrapped. It was natural for her to do well, but it was the girl’s greed to be praised in this way.
“Yeah… You’re really… Good at it… That’s why I’m worried…”
Leo also stared at the sky with a sandwich in his mouth. Unlike the future I had experienced, the sky was clear and blue.
“…Are you worried?”
At the word she was worried, Aria looked at Leo’s complexion as if she was deliberately embarrassed. Could it be that she still lacks a part of herself?
“It’s just that there’s no particular problem. Because you’re so good, I’m afraid you’re overdoing it.”
Leo’s worries were subtly different.
I was worried that he wouldn’t hesitate to overdo it because he was doing well enough.
“…Leo… Even Reynald-sama overworked himself a lot…”
“That’s true, but… But when you use Holy Blood Artillery, you always use the internal type. Discharging blood is dangerous to you.”
There are two types of bloodletting.
An internal type that uses blood from the body.
A release type that uses external bleeding.
Using them in parallel according to the situation was the technique of blood fighting.
“…Is that so…? But if you use it outside…”
“Listening to the teacher is good for the future. You have all your talents, but you are a bit smaller than me.”
Arya was unmatched in the quality and strength of her body. If Leo is tin, Arias Feel is as strong as adamantium.
However, judging from her objective weight class, Aria’s blood in her body was consequently less than that of Leo’s.
“…Okay…”
As if she couldn’t stand Leo’s words, Arya nodded her head as she looked at the sky. Leo’s worries were legitimate, even if others said it.
“I’m glad though.”
Hearing that answer, Leo looked up at the sky and smiled brightly.
The sky here was as clear and blue as Arya’s snow, and the clouds in between were as white as Arya’s hair.
“Now I can fight the demon lord with you. No matter what kind of enemy I fight, I feel safe when I am with you.”
“…That’s… That’s right.”
Ariaspil felt fortunate that Leonardo was just staring at the sky.
Your face must be mixed with guilt and guilt right now.
Compared to the ordeal Leo went through, he was nothing much.
* * *
The shadow is thick
Where evil covers the air.
That existence existed in that place.
[I think I found this place.]
[It’s an ordeal to overcome anyway.]
In that presence, we continued the conversation together in a place where we were all alone.
[If the hero Aryaspil comes, you must subdue it and seal the holy sword. Leonardo is after that.]
[I don’t understand.]
A dull tone of voice follows behind the solemn voice. Conversation was going on, but no sound echoed anywhere.
[Leo That human is the most dangerous. I know It is more dangerous than the warrior.]
[Certainly, the hero is strong, but Leonardo is dangerous.]
Everyone in this room shared that thought in one place.
Arya was the strongest I’ve ever faced, but Leonardo was the most dangerous I’ve ever seen.
[That’s why it’s worth it. It’s valuable as a vessel, so you have to subdue it later than Ariaspil.]
[I wonder why.]
It was a question that did not seem like intelligence, but the answer to this question was very simple.
[Then, if the 2nd hero dies and the 3rd hero emerges in this situation, who will be the most dangerous?]
Everyone in the room shouted in unison.
It was a visceral fear of the death experienced.
[Leonardo.]
[Yes, that’s why just overpowering and taking the bowl will lead to a complete victory.]
“Okay.”
Soon, a new one appeared in the place where there was only one.
[The only thing you can do right now is you. Eat everything you can.]
“That is me.”
The Berserker was realized and presented to that being.
