2nd Rank Has Returned chapter 36

On the train-1

On the train-1

I had a weird dream.

It was a dream of my mother’s return, a longing and bitter dream that I had hardly ever dreamed of since returning.

When she returned home, her mother gave her a warm hug.

I was very happy, but tears came out without knowing English.

…but my mother’s body was strangely cold.

And for some reason it is very hard, and for some reason it smells like hardwood floors…

“…uh…”

Suffering from such a dream or a nightmare, Leo naturally opened his eyes.

The place I woke up was on the hardwood floor next to the cold bed, and it seemed that I fell asleep while nursing.

“…I’ve become very soft, too.”

[It must be because I keep rubbing my soft body.]

Instead of a morning alarm, I heard the sage’s refreshing whistle. Normally I would have been annoyed, but today, somehow, I am not angry.

Maybe it’s because I’m tired because of a good night’s sleep.

<…Did you see my dream?>

[Whatever you dreamed of, it must have been a good dream. If you enjoy such luxury and have a bad dream, you are just…]

There was something strangely wrong with the direction of the conversation, but the meaning was roughly correct, so Leo nodded.

“I saw my mother in my dream. Maybe it’s because I came home after a long time and slept.>

[…ha… yes. It must have been a good dream.]

Leo didn’t ask or question whether he was too familiar with the voice that seemed to conform as if he had resigned himself with a suffocating sigh.

“Miss Arya…”

Ariasviel was sleeping with the bedspreads and blankets completely twisted, like a peasant girl who suits this house.

If he had been caught up in that sleep talk, Leo would have also fallen somewhere.

“…you must have been quite tired.”

The clothes around the stomach and chest area were also slightly ripped off. It would have been difficult for me to be like that unless I slept quite violently.

“If you sleep like that, you will catch a cold.”

Leonardo looked away from there and fixed the duvet properly to cover her.

[What kind of newlywed husband?]

<So it’s not like that.>

[…just don’t answer. The cornea and eardrum become inflamed.]

That man has been nervous since morning. More than that, the villagers were like that, too, and I wondered why everyone was thinking only in that direction.

“…we still have time.”

I looked at my watch and saw that I had three or four hours left. After having breakfast and saying hello to the villagers, you will be able to get on the train at a leisurely pace.

“then…”

Leonardo walked towards the kitchen and put on the hanging apron.

In that kitchen apron, his will to show his skills was clearly revealed.

***

Arya’s eyelids trembled. I had no choice but to get out of my sleep when several sounds sounded complexly.

The sound of lights turning on, the sound of oil splashing and eggs being cooked, the sound of boiling water.

Aside from that, a soft hum was weaving those sounds together to create a chord.

“…Leona…Ledo…?”

Even in the voice of less sleep, his loyal knight responded quickly.

“Are you awake? miss?”

There was love in front of her when she woke up.

A source of pure affection smiled at her.

A lovely man who exudes the scent of a fragrant breakfast.

“…Uh…I’m salivating, are you okay…?”

The saliva running down my lips right now is probably because I’m hungry.

He never showed his desire for the appearance of ‘Leo in an apron’.

But ‘Leo with an Apron’ was cute, lovable, and lovable. It was an impossible truth to deny even that.

“You must be very hungry. Let’s eat first.”

Reassured by Leo’s insensitivity, Arya gently wiped the saliva of desire.

“Drink it. It’s only simple, but it’s good for nutritional supplementation.”

Arya had no choice but to twinkle her eyes this time. Because the meals spread out on the table were like special meals prepared for her.

“…all… did you make it yourself?”

“Yeah, it’s probably morning, so I need help.”

Arya could be proud that she had never eaten any delicacies until now. With the wealth and status of the Reinhardt family, it was possible to invite chefs from all over the world.

But now she understands.

That’s the magic of the frog in the well.

“…can I not drink it? It will all cool off.”

No other chef can imitate the sincerity of that lovely being.

“…I’ll eat well…!”

Arya thought as she put the food in her mouth. This isn’t food, it’s love.

‘…and this is a little…’

Waking yourself up in the morning, putting on your apron and eating together…

‘Like newlyweds…!’

Newly-married couple, not the same, no one will doubt it if you say so.

“How does it taste?”

“tasty! I wish I could eat it every day…!!”

Then Arya shut her mouth as if embarrassed. This was yesterday’s remarks that reminded me of my ‘marriage delusion’.

“I’m glad you got it in your mouth. Are you feeling a little embarrassed?”

Leonardo’s delightful reaction relieved Arya, but the embarrassment remained.

“…that was… yesterday…”

Barely passing the food down her throat, she put the apple in her mouth.

“I’m sorry for saying things like that… it must be difficult for you…”

“no. I’m thankful that you said that.”

“Uh… huh? Hey…!”

Because it was such an unexpected answer, Arya let out a high hiccup.

The hope that Leonardo might have had a bit of the same plan as he ran through his head.

“I did this to save face in front of the mayor. thanks.”

At this time, Arya did not know, but the sage had all kinds of double lust in his mouth. Not knowing that was probably the greatest blessing for a pure girl.

“…ah… uh… yes…”

But Leo’s reaction must have been a curse. Both for her and for Leo himself.

***

“Are you leaving already? I don’t come here often, can I go in a little bit more?”

Dean smirked with a fangs and swung the offer. The villagers all seemed to have the same opinion.

“I think the original purpose of it was the matoap’s permit. I think it will be difficult for a long time. There are a lot of variables.”

“Then go well. Get that permit right away.”

Leo sighed and nodded.

Meanwhile, Chief Anus walked by on behalf of the villagers.

“Are you going?”

“Yes, I’m sorry I haven’t been here for a long time.”

“You have to stay for a long time to just eat and celebrate. Hurry up and go.”

While saying that, Anus approached Arya and held out his hand.

“Are you sure you said you were going to the tower too?”

“yes? Yes, I’m not going for magic, but…”

A small note was held in the outstretched hand. If only the envelope was a little better, it would have been better to say that it was a letter.

“Give this to a man named Physis Natra. I’m sure you’ll do well because you’ve got something from me.”

“…Oh, thank you.”

Arya expressed her gratitude as she continuously remembered that consideration and what happened last night.

“Then get out. It’s a pain in the knee after being struck by lightning.”

“Yeah, let’s do it as ordered.”

Perhaps it was because he had a hatred for even the poisonous words, Leo bowed without losing his smile. Arya also said goodbye to the villagers with the utmost respect and followed Leo.

“Leonardo!”

At that moment, Anus called for Leo with a voice as loud as the horn of a train.

“If you make her cry, don’t come back to the village again! I don’t remember raising such a cool guy!!”

Leo answered without looking back.

“yes! Who raised the grandson? grandmother!”

Leonardo said so and went away.

[Your face is red. Are you pretty happy?]

“Shut up.”

[Actually, I must have been struck by lightning on purpose. The original plan was to listen to it as a grandmother as a sign of sympathy.]

It was fortunate that I did not hear that conversation, but it was regrettable.

***

When I returned to the train station, there were always waves of people. If I hadn’t bought a first-class ticket, I would have been swept away by that human tsunami and drifted for a long time.

“Room 401… Here it is.”

Room 401, where Leo and his party would board, was installed with two chairs facing each other beyond the door.

[But did you rent a room at all? Last time, only the two of you were in the room.]

It was definitely the case in this case. But that was all because of luck.

<It’s too expensive to do that. I usually ride with passengers I don’t know. Last time, it was just that the seat didn’t sell out, or the passenger didn’t come.>

The sage nodded as if he understood and floated by the window next to Leo. Leo and Arya sat next to each other and waited for the train to depart.

“Are you here?”

While waiting, another passenger entered room 401.

“Ah, hello?”

She looked like a girl of her age, with a bright smile. It was quite impressive that he was carrying a large suitcase that was slightly smaller than his body.

Leo’s group also bowed their heads and folded their legs so that she could sit down.

“thanks.”

She tried to put the suitcase on the shelf of the room somehow with a small key. But, sadly, her stature was too low for the height of the shelf.

“I will help.”

Leo, who couldn’t see, helped lift her luggage. At that action, the girl said with a bright smile.

“thank you.”

“…”

Leo didn’t answer for a while, then replied with the same smile.

“you’re welcome. Lady.”

The girl’s smile grew redder when she was called a lady, and Aria turned a little reddish.

It looked like the same phenomenon, but completely different emotions intersected and rubbed against each other.

“Where are you two going?”

“There is no such thing as a trip, but I will go to the mana tower.”

To that, the girl responded with a little exaggeration.

“Between lovers, the tower is very popular as a travel destination! There are many magic and magic restaurants around, so it’s very popular!”

I wondered if Arya’s expression softened a little at the word lover. If she misunderstood her like that, Arya’s feelings would not be stagnant.

“hahahaha, not a lover. A close friend.”

However, Leo dared to twist that unraveling expression again. Arya’s expression began to turn red.

“That’s right. Traveling with friends is also good.”

The girl smirked and covered her mouth. At that laugh, Arya naturally clenched her fists. Perhaps if it was confirmed that it was a sneer, he would put his fists in without hesitation.

“What happened to the lady on the train?”

Leo was also annoying. Seeing where such a little boy is, he is a lady, in mind and in his body, he is closer to a lady.

“Ah, my friends called me to ride. I’ve been wanting to see you for a long time.”

“is that so? You are so kind to do that for your friends.”

What’s so kind about that?

At best, it would be entertainment or enjoyment, but debauchery or extravagance were appropriate.

“Ho-ho, thank you.”

While watching that smile, Leo suddenly got up and approached the girl.

“Leo…?”

Then he moved his face closer to hers.

“Why all of a sudden…”

Leo removed the small petals from her hair.

“It was buried in my head. I’m sorry for this.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“no. Rather, it was nice to see nice petals.”

Now I felt bloated with patience.

Anger to a woman like that fire fox, and betrayal to a trusted knight clearly stabbed her in the chest.

The hand holding the fist gradually became firm. I didn’t put an auror, but if I hit it, I’m sure a tooth or two would come out.

“Lady, can you give me the ball if it’s not excuse me? I’m really sorry, but I have something to check.”

“Oh, did I ask you something else?”

The girl held out the ball without any doubt.

Now, anger and betrayal have reached the handover point. Arya’s fist…

Woodduck

For a moment, his fists were stretched out. From the sound, it must have been a fracture of the nose or cheekbones, or, in severe cases, fractures of the jaw and teeth.

“no.”

But it wasn’t Arya who threw the punch.

“That makes it easier to hit.”

Leo’s fist definitely slammed into the lady’s face.

No, the word lady is no longer appropriate.

Her skin melted like clay, revealing the face of a little man with a sparse beard.

“Damn it, I wish it wasn’t.”

Looking at the train robber, Leonardo muttered lowly.
