2nd Rank Has Returned chapter 74

Adult-1

Adult-1

Time of crying and tears passes, let’s all calm down to some extent.

“Uh… there…”

Leo, who was the subject of the story he was looking at quietly, slowly opened his mouth.

“…Oh yeah. You can rely on it.”

Thank you, but I didn’t mean to say it like that.

“That’s what I wanted to ask about the sword Arya held at the end…”

At that time, everyone erased their tears and changed the topic of conversation. Once again, it was felt that those crybabies were descendants of the hero Reinhardt.

“That’s… I think you’d expect… but it’s a holy sword.”

It was nonetheless A ceremonial sword with such a powerful and sacred energy did not exist other than the holy sword.

[But the holy sword flew in the middle of the duel? Have you done this before?]

<Is it possible?>

The way that Arya drew the holy sword in her previous life was very standard like the warriors of the previous generation.

Exactly the year she turned 20, a priest and a paladin who received a revelation from the temple came and appointed Arya as a hero.

After completing her training at the temple for a year, Arya drew her sword from the place where the holy sword was enshrined in Reinhardt.

[Isn’t that the norm at all, given that the temple training was completed in only one year?]

<It’s Aria.>

[Ah, then I admit it.]

It was an explanation that made sense because it was Ariaspil.

However, the current situation was actually an unexpected variable for Leonardo.

It was not easy to understand that Arya, who had not been trained five years earlier than the original, was chosen by the Holy Sword.

It was even more strange that the holy sword was not drawn directly, but the holy sword flew by itself and held in my hand.

[It’s Aria, so please understand.]

<Yes. It’s Arya.>

In such an all-round way, Leo and the Sage seemed to understand each other.

Above all, it’s Aria.

“So… has an oracle or a revelation come down?”

At Leo’s question, Gaju Gladio nodded.

“I also got a call from the temple side. To be precise, the call came right after the holy sword was pulled out.”

[…right after the holy sword is drawn? Now that Shindo Mattangi is gone, I’m hitting the back drum.]

As long as I couldn’t see it now, the ghost made a profane sound, but I didn’t have to react because it was the ghost’s nonsense anyway.

“Then will the priests of the temple also come?”

“…okay. The temple has already sent someone.”

From the temple side, there was only one person who could receive the revelation of the Holy Sword.

“adult…”

“Yeah, to be precise, Lumine Angelus, an adult candidate, said that he was coming.”

Lumine Angelus

He was a current adult candidate and a priest who became a real adult in his previous life.

“Do you know? Leo?”

“Yeah. I heard rumors.”

Was it just a rumor, in fact, after Arya’s death, he was the person who received the most cooperation.

[Are you okay?]

<He was the only person who directly cooperated with me during the Great Depression that occurred after Arya’s death.>

He healed without saying a word even if he suffered various injuries, he did not disclose his location and information, and sometimes even visited dangerous areas directly.

[Didn’t you get help from the family?]

<I didn’t get it exactly.>

It was absolutely impossible to get help from the Reinhardt family in such a situation.

[why? And because of the guilt, I am alone […]

<Annihilate all members of the Senate.>

[…note?]

Leo, who saw Arya’s death, almost went mad in anger and began to kill the people involved in this one after the other.

The elders of the Senate were one of them.

<…I don’t even think I did particularly well… For that, I got a lot of punishment.>

Leo is pursued by knights and bounty hunters, as the entire kingdom is wanted on a large scale, let alone not being able to get help from the Reinhardt family.

[…You kneel in front of the people you killed and pour water into them?]

<If you do it that way, I’ll sell it to everyone passing by… And I’m not too sorry to see the elders doing it.>

To be honest, the people of the family come first, and it was cheaper not to kill the old people in the back room of the Senate.

[enfant terrible…!]

<When were you obediently listening?>

[It is so.]

I had no intention of forgetting my sins, but I did not intend to be tied to the past either. In the end, if you forget your sins, you are bound by a bridle, and the moment you are tied to the past, you turn away from fear.

“…what kind of person is that adult…?”

Arya asked carefully, wondering if she was a little curious. The sage was similarly curious, so he listened.

“…Hmm…they say you’re like an angel? In many ways.”

“…someone like an angel?”

“It’s definitely an accurate summary. When I first saw it, I mistakenly thought that an angel had descended.”

“Oh, my aunt went to the temple and asked why she couldn’t use a holy sword before…”

Woodduck

The price to play cheaply was to get a cheap chance to break the respiratory tract. I’ll have to give Rios some condolences later.

“…Angel…If you’re an angel-like person, your face…isn’t it pretty?”

Ariaspil muttered to the angel a few times, then quietly asked about the appearance of a saint. After all, was Ariaspil also a woman, or were you interested in such a thing?

“Yeah, I saw it in the newspaper once… She was really pretty.”

“He was like an angel. I heard that he has a very good personality and is wonderful.”

“…I see. Are you saying that he’s a really pretty and kind person…?”

What is this cold feeling?

Arya’s smile seemed to show subtle malice and hatred.

[I’m jealous.]

<…Yes? Why?>

Why are you suddenly jealous? Also for Lumine?

[If I knew that, I think this Satan itself would not have arisen. In many ways.]

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

I don’t know where the reason to be jealous is, and above all, I don’t quite understand why they are jealous of adults.

<When we meet, you will change your mind. Lumine is a really nice person.>

[Yeah, I’m glad I don’t get stabbed with the holy sword.]

It was a laughable word. How can you kill a saint with a holy sword?

‘Ah… Maybe…’

But why do you feel anxious?

Now, I wanted to think that it was because I was tired from an injury. That’s the way it was.

***

After a while, I got a call saying that an adult had arrived.

Unlike the family members who always come suddenly, giving him time to prepare seemed to show some of his consideration.

Since the guest is a guest, we also waited in the garden in front of the mansion for entertainment.

[But are you such a good guy? The bastards who say they are just priests and justice are always hypocrisy and shivering.]

Perhaps the sage had not yet been able to create a spirit body, so he tried to talk with only a sound in his head, like telepathy.

The desire that it would have been nice if it had been like this on a regular basis ate up my thoughts, but I decided to answer the question first.

<Honestly, I thought so too at first.>

To Leo, who was twisted by his mercenary life and hardships, typical words such as ethics and morals seemed to be nothing but bullshit.

<But when I met him, I found him to be a good person.>

I found out about it when we ate together at a restaurant shortly after meeting for the first time.

<That was when the waiter accidentally broke the bowl of hot soup on Lumine.>

Hot soup broth spilled all over his body, resulting in minor burns, and even broken fragments splattered and stabbed and cut his skin.

Even if her temper is not dirty, there is nothing strange about getting angry right away.

<Once I wiped my eyes with a napkin, I wiped the flowing soup beforehand.>

It was common sense to that extent, but after that, it was more than a good thing, it was shocking.

<Then he healed the waiter’s wounds and helped clean up the surroundings.>

Without a single frown on his face, he had the expression of a compassionate adult.

[Are you getting goosebumps beyond being good?]

<For such a thing, the end was quite humane.>

Later, on the way home from dinner, the waiter and his companions, despite their mercy, were babbling with no sign of remorse.

-Ah… Because of that woman earlier, the manager broke it up a lot. Thanks to you, my salary is lowered…

-Hey, that’s what priests are like. If you say good things a few times, they will support you.

– A woman with a lot of money doesn’t even tip…

– But doesn’t it look sloppy? If you ask me to give it to you later…

-‘Oh, you’re right. What a slap in the face.’

And they were very right.

While Leo was giving plastic surgery with his fists in return for the general bullying, Lumine came to the alley in the commotion.

[Then, did you say something like a gentleman?]

<No. You helped me lose.>

[…What…?]

It was precisely the treatment behind the fans. I can understand his anger and the desire to punish him, so he said he would beat him as much as he wanted.

I couldn’t report it if it was treated anyway, so it was an added bonus to tell me to enjoy it comfortably.

[…Oh, what a priestly and decent human being.]

<Because he was an orphan like me, we got along well. The downside is that he talks too much to himself.>

Still, I decided to understand that it was a religious job. He said that he sometimes receives revelations that way.

[Is the polarity compatible?]

It must have been meant to be sarcastic, but it didn’t feel too bad. In fact, Leo admitted that too.

It was said that if manners and dignity were learned from Alfred, character and ethics were learned from Lumine.

[…Is it possible that you like her, and that you are a cold meal for Aria?]

<…Yes? Do you like that girl?>

I like it as a human being, but I couldn’t really like it in a s*xual sense. I don’t know if such a thing was possible for someone who was a professional priest in the first place.

[…Is he a man?]

The sage, who had been firmly misunderstood by the explanations so far, asked in bewilderment.

<Yes? By the way?>

Lumine Angelus is often confused with the name of an adult because of her appearance, but she is clearly a man.

[…what…isn’t she usually a saint?]

<For 300 years, saints also appeared occasionally, and the titles were unified. Isn’t that discriminatory?>

Of course, among them, Lumine is on the exceptional side.

<What was a saint like in the era of the sage?>

Come to think of it, there were temples even in the age of the sages, so of course there must be saints and saints, so there must be some connection. If there is a relationship, it’s an interesting story…

[It’s crazy.]

Yeah, I wasn’t expecting it.

[I’m not just swearing, he’s a real crazy bitch. Majo to the fanaticism…]

At that moment, the trumpet sounded. With that sound in the background, the front door of the mansion opened and a modest carriage came in.

<Come.>

At the moment when everyone’s borders had loosened slightly in the modest carriage, the escort paladin got off the carriage and opened the carriage’s door.

“…wing?”

A knight looked at the wings protruding from the carriage and said involuntarily. To be called an arm, it was clear that the wings were white and had feathers.

Soon after, he completely got off the wing’s master’s carriage.

“Are you here? Saint Lumine Angelus.”

Long blonde hair that fell down to the bottom of her neck, green eyes like jewels, and what stood out above all were the wings that hung on her back as if it were natural.

“Ah, hello. Lord Gladio. You’re still a candidate, so you don’t have to use a heavy title.”

Lumine didn’t mind the gaze on the wings, and greeted Reinhardt’s headmaster and knights with a neat smile.

“Really… are you an angel…?”

Perhaps even Ariaspil was surprised, he looked at Lumine and his wings alternately.

“You seem to be a bird beast.”

“A bird… a new beast?”

“Yes, you can think of it as the case with Dean hyung.”

Werewolves like Dean are universally famous, but beasts such as reptiles and birds like Lizardmen and Harpies were rare.

Lumine was born as a prisoner due to an atavism.

[…what…why…]

The sage had an astonished expression on his face, as if he had seen an incomprehensible contradiction.

<Honestly, I thought it was a woman at first too.>

In fact, even Leo was shocked at first that he was called a man by his appearance. I just found out when we went to the bathroom together.

[Why is that bastard there…!]

<…Yes?>

Leonardo looked around. There was no one in the mansion that the wise man did not see, and it must have been one of the outsiders of the wagon who surprised him.

<Are you that paladin?>

To be honest, Lumine didn’t seem to have anything to do with it, so all that was left was that paladin attached as an escort. So, if I had to guess, that paladin…

[No, other than that, a winged bitch!!]

<…You know Lumine? How…>

[A child other than him…!! A year that was bombarded with personality!!]

How to distinguish a person by being bombarded with personality, there was only one person with wings now, Lumine.

<No, so where else is the person with wings now…>

[Hey, close your eyes. I can’t seem to see it, so I’ll show you.]

<…Yes? Yeah… That’s what…>

Leo closed his eyes for a moment and waited until the wise man told him to wake up.

[Look.]

<Yes. How…>

snuggle

What catches my eye are the ghost’s two fingers.

Spiritual bodies that are not normally touched can definitely touch your eyes. Suddenly, pain rushes in, along with a stinging sensation in the eyes.

“Ahhhh!! my eyes…!! Snow…!! Aww…!!”

Sage, this crazy old man…!!

“Leo?!”

“Are you okay?! Maybe the aftereffects got worse?!”

The people of the family rushed to Leo’s scream, and Lumine, who was also a priest, also ran.

“Are you okay? Do you have any problems with your eyes?”

Lumine opened Leo’s eyelids with her fingers and asked.

“…no…that, suddenly…”

At that moment, another wing entered Leo’s eyes, feeling the pain.

Not only the wings, but unlike the Lumine, the head is decorated with gold frames and floating around…

[…Saints. That’s the saint I met 300 years ago.]

<…a saint?>

The saint, who has already been dead for several hundred years, is here?

[Angela Lucifer, the crazy bitch I mentioned earlier.]

There was a saint who became an angel by Lumine’s side.
