2nd Rank Has Returned chapter 78

Revelation-1

Day 1 after arriving at the temple.

Upon arrival at the temple, they received a monk’s robe and a minimum of daily necessities. I could have received or obtained a better one, but I refused directly on my part.

In order to receive the recognition of the Holy Sword and the revelation of the light, it was because he decided that a frugal life and humble thinking were the priority.

No need to rush. Just as Leonardo believes in himself, I have to have confidence in myself and move on.

Because I am Leo’s most special person.

Thirty days after training in the temple.

Meditation in the temple was not that difficult. To be honest, it was closer to the easy side.

It was not difficult to memorize the scriptures or pray because of the education and manners learned in the family.

As a monk, training in battle only felt easier. Most paladins in the temple were not opponents. To be honest, it’s rude to say, but compared to Leo, I felt like I didn’t have much to say.

Perhaps because of the blood of the warrior flowing through his body, the day when he would use a blessing or holy spell to say that the divine basically flows through his body will soon come.

—–

It’s been 1 year since I started using the Holy Sword.

After a year of learning the sacred arts and prayers, the blade of the holy sword was gradually revived. Even the paladins, who initially disliked me, could not even show such a sign in front of the light of the holy sword.

Everyone said it was the advent of a new hero, but I was convinced. Right now, he only used the divine power of the Holy Sword, and he did not receive a proper revelation or choice.

I wanted to see Leonardo sooner than that.

In the past, letters were sent periodically, but I wanted to see more of them, so I purposely nailed them to not sending letters or parcels.

However, there was also a contradictory thought in the back of my heart that I wanted him to be ignored.

It was because the smell of Leo from the letter he had now was gradually diminishing.

Leonardo was lacking.

—–

It’s been two years since I haven’t seen Leonardo.

No matter how much you swing the holy sword, no matter how much you pray, the revelation does not come. I can’t blame God, but I was resentful about the current situation.

Not being able to see Leo was more sad and impatient than not being able to see his family.

So while I stayed up all night thinking about Leo, I had a short dream.

In the dream, Leo appeared, and the Leo in the dream was similar to when I saw it from the tower.

In the dream, we took off our clothes and stroked each other’s cheeks. Eventually, the body and the hand overlapped, and the body contact was gradually approaching a secret and sensitive place.

so sweet. If only this time was a little longer…

“…ha…!”

So I woke up from my dream When I woke up, my pajamas, my underwear, and even the blankets were all covered with body fluids like sweat.

I was really embarrassed and had to stay up all night with my eyes open.

The next day, I rarely went to the temple library and looked for a book. Hopefully, it was an action that came out of concern that a ghost had come to a temple like this.

And when I saw this material, I couldn’t help but be astonished.

‘…if you don’t satisfy your desires… it’s like this naturally?’

According to the written data, it is said that if the desire cannot be suppressed and spurted out, the human body relieves it even with such lustful dreams.

This is not a dream come true, nor is it a problem in the doctrine of the Church…

‘…how do you satisfy your cravings here…!’

In the temple, the act of ‘consolation’ to release s*xual desire was officially forbidden.

Of course, the current doctrine of increased autonomy implicitly allowed actions, but the problem was that he was a candidate for a hero.

If you enjoy such immorality, your chances of receiving revelation will decrease.

‘…other ways…’

In the midst of turning the pages, a doctrinal interpretation of the Holy Dream came out.

[According to the doctrine, this is not an intentional act, so it is not subject to the sacrament of Confession, and therefore is not included in the mortal sin.]

At these words, Ariaspil swallowed his saliva involuntarily. I interpret this verse differently, but in a dream it doesn’t matter what you do.

I instantly remembered a few pictures I had taken with Leo. Among the dogs was a picture of Leo when he was young.

—–

It’s been 4 years since I’ve been patient.

Today Leo did not appear in the dream. Why? This time, I slept with a picture of my childhood that I cherished and endured under the pillow, but I couldn’t even remember the dream. It is frustrating. Rather, this time I thought about putting all the photos I had under the pillow. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to play with two or three Leos if you’re lucky. It felt good just thinking about it, but in the end, it’s futile. At this point, I wanted to marry Leo at all. The doctrine of the temple is to never waste s*xual activity, so getting married is never a bad thing, and it is not an object of the sacrament of confession. All plans were made. At the same time as an engagement, he will enjoy a romantic life for several months, and will make Leonardo’s part a bit more of a child. When their feelings are at their peak, they will propose to have a wedding, and if Leo refuses or hesitates, they will take responsibility for attacking them. Anyway, Leo also seems to like me, so it’s not like that. And after getting married and going on a honeymoon, he will be with Leo at the villa he has reserved in advance. And by forcibly making heavy snow fall, traffic will be blocked and doors will be locked to maximize life together. And he will continue to spend the night with Leo until food runs out and the snow melts. Leonardo is big and healthy, so he could do it more than ten times a day. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to make a lot of kids like that and form a knighthood with only children…

“Hey… did you hear that?”

“…Yes?!”

While Ariaspil was drooling dazedly at the delusion of chaos and lust, Lumine, who became an unofficial adult, expressed a bit of embarrassment when she saw such aria.

“Hey… are you okay? On the lips…”

Arya quickly wiped the saliva flowing from her mouth and looked at Lumine.

“sorry. I haven’t slept lately… what were you talking about?”

Looking at Ariaspil like that, Angela, a former saint and an angel, smiled sinisterly.

{Apparently, there seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction. It’s a really nice face to look at.}

“…Well?”

Arya looked around as if she heard something.

“…Yes? Why?”

“…I think someone said it. Who is behind Priest Lumine?”

At that sensual reaction, Lumine looked back with a bewildered look. Likewise, the angel was equally perplexed.

Apparently, the divine power within his body had developed to an extreme, and he was able to sense even a little bit of Angela’s ideological wave, Lumine’s guardian angel.

‘…This is enough for a revelation to come down…’

For some reason, no revelation came to Ariaspil even while he was praying. Of course, it was still early when we thought of it with common sense, but considering Arya’s growth and abilities, it was obviously strange that the revelation did not come.

“There is no one there. I think you must have misunderstood because you were tired.”

“is that so…? But what were you talking about?”

As the topic naturally shifted, Lumine answered to divert her attention.

“The Holy Emperor said that people are coming from the tower side.”

“Sunghwang?”

When the title of Seonghwang was announced, Arya was perplexed.

If you contacted Seonghwang directly, it meant that an opponent who was in the position of a high-ranking wizard comparable to that of Matapju had arrived.

“…what happened?”

“I only heard about it, but a hidden sage horse was found in the legacy of the wise man who came out of the tower. So I’m coming here because I want to hear about the temple and its views on that shojima.”

It was understandable logic. If it is a temple that is the essence of life and light, and it is also a large temple, it will also help with examination and investigation of the samurai.

Since the place where the ethical controversy over the samurai ended was also the Great Hall, it was considered appropriate as a justification.

“The legacy of the wise?”

It was a familiar word I hadn’t heard in a long time. He also helped find his inheritance there, and there he and Leo… had their first kiss, so there’s no way I’ll ever forget it.

“…Then who said it was coming?”

“That’s… I kept asking…”

– Huh, you’ll know right away when we meet.

…and left only a strange answer.

“Then you can get to know us…”

While Ariaspil was guessing, his gaze and words stopped. The direction is subtly similar to that of the angel she was on, so Lumine looked a little closer.

“Behind that…”

“Behind you? No one behind…”

“there is.”

Lumine looked back in surprise at the sudden and resolute answer like a sword thrown from memory.

“…Who are you?”

Angels, saints, and even the warrior did not notice the person approaching from behind. Arya only knew it because it came into sight.

“Is that what you mean?”

asked the child in the gray robe. The reason I thought I was a child even with such a hard tone was because of my height. With a height difference of more than one head from Lumine, the group came to think of him as a child.

“Yeah, did you get lost?”

At Arya’s gentle tone, the child looked up at her and met their eyes. The purple eyes were beautiful, yet lifeless.

“I am not lost. I remembered the road and was going back, but on the way, I thought you were calling me when you said ‘Behind that…’ and ‘No one behind you…’ I answered. I’m sorry if I misunderstood.”

It was a hard, mechanical tone, as if she had read a Korean book and a thesis as a script, and a tone that contained a formality that even soldiers would not use.

“…Oh, I see.”

To such a strangely logical answer, Ariaspil answered with a slightly shaky expression, perhaps a little perplexed.

“Then, are there any guardians who came with you to the temple?”

“there is.”

The child stretched out an arm and pointed a finger in front.

“You are arguing with several priests and paladins in the dance hall of the temple that comes out when you go straight in that direction.”

“…Opposition?”

At the word confrontation, the two asked more questions whether they were more embarrassed.

“…he… can you give me your name?”

“It’s Ain. My original name was Diat, but my father changed it under the pretext that it did not suit him.”

The question becomes a little more detailed due to the strange family circumstances and tone.

“Then what kind of person is your father…?”

“My father hates being called my father. Genetically, he is a father, but he refused the title in the name of burden. But in his actions and circumstances, he is the closest to my father.”

After that, the two whispered in a low voice so that Ain could not hear each other and talked.

“…it seems like family affairs are complicated, don’t they?”

“…yes… I think so…”

Just listening to the explanation, a sad and heavy family story was drawn. The relationship with the guardian had no choice but to think that there was an illegitimate or similar complex causal relationship.

“I don’t know exactly how complex family history is, but based on popular common sense, it’s not common.”

Perhaps it was surprising that everyone heard it, the adult candidates and the warrior candidates looked more rigid.

“…Then why did you come to the temple… what was it…?”

“The main reason is to analyze my condition and report my existence to my genetically mother human.”

“…mother? Is your mother also in the temple?”

“My father told my mother to be careful about my description. It is because he said that there was no explanation in advance because he could not be contacted.”

It seemed that household affairs were a bit messed up. Operation time to rise again.

“…can a married woman become a priest in a temple?”

“…it’s not impossible. I got a divorce, and if I pray and take an oath, I can enter the temple.”

It seems that the child’s father came to the temple in search of his mother who had become a priest like that.

“…Then… what’s your father’s name?”

Ain opened his mouth and answered.

“Leonardo, the last name does not exist.”

“…”

“…”

{…}

The cold silence, the warm light of the temple was engulfed in the shadows. It was Ain, the cause of this dreadful atmosphere, who broke the silence.

“Can you explain to me why my heart rate is high and you are looking at me with a murderous gaze?”

“…First… can you go to your father’s place with me?”

With her tongue in her mouth, Aria barely suppressed her intentions to kill her, and she showed extreme patience and asked for a favor.

“This is a difficult request. In that state, I think there is a high chance that you will threaten and kill your father.”

“no. I’m also very close to your dad… it won’t happen. It’s a man named Ariaspil, have you ever heard of it?”

At that moment, Ain’s purple eyes widened. The numb emotion seemed a little startled.

“understand. It would be nice to accompany you to the smooth progress of the story.”

“Yeah… we should go together…”

The smile didn’t show the intent to kill. However, the malice, murderous intent, and anger that were filled with it transcended that of a human being.

“…Ariaspil-sama, you’re not going to kill… are you…? First things first…”

“Killing you? Why would I?”

It’s too expensive to kill.
