2nd Rank Has Returned chapter 79

Revelation-2

Shrine’s Dance Hall

Usually, the paladins train in sparring or swordsmanship here, and the priests heal their fatigue with prayer techniques and help link the swordsmanship and the holy arts.

A wizard stood in such a sacred training ground. He was a man who had never prayed to God, let alone divine.

“Do you think you will be forgiven?!”

No, I said it wasn’t like that more than ten times in the first place, but the priest didn’t even listen to what he was saying.

“You are a workhorse with human form and intelligence…! Such a blasphemous…!”

Those words were only applicable to the old evil spirits who should fall into hell.

And I was sad to hear it, but…

“…usually… isn’t that what you say after winning?”

Those priests and paladins had already been defeated in the battle with Leonardo and had fallen. It was because he decided to fight first to get angry even if he couldn’t admit it.

“Shut up…!! This is such a problem…!”

“If it weren’t for such a problem, wouldn’t it have been more peaceful?”

The pious losers and priests kept their mouths shut. By the way, it was the people from the temple side who decided to set it up as Dalian and rushed in the majority.

‘…it’s not too much.’

To be honest, it was not that I did not understand their position. A workhorse with human form and intelligence is a being who is narrowly perched on the ethical revision.

‘…But you should refrain from making such noises in the seat in front of you.’

Even though it was a small business, it was a child who had not yet been born with intelligence. He said he wanted to keep listening because he denied the existence of an interesting existence, but he told me to go somewhere else first because it was obviously not very good for education and it was too early.

It will be resolved in 5 minutes, so I looked around and when someone asked about Ain herself, she was so considerate that it was easy to say that it was a parent-child relationship.

“Ain, where are you?”

As if answering that call, a girl in a gray robe walked from the outer hallway of the temple.

“came. father.”

“Now by that name…”

At that moment, the hairs all over her body stood up. Leo hurriedly ran to the gaze that was full of primal malice and life. Then Ain stepped back.

“…father?”

“it’s okay!? Are you not hurt?”

No matter what, he didn’t know that the priest would really spit out murderous intent towards Ain. Or, he didn’t know if Ain had even said something strange to incite his malice.

“…are you already a daddy?”

“…ah…”

The owner of that living was the person I really wanted to see. The girl I miss the most, who has been holding back the desire to visit again and again.

“congratulation. Someone is training to become a warrior while patiently patient in the temple because of the words of a certain knight, but Leonardo sowed his own seeds diligently. That’s great.”

It was Ariaspil Reinhardt.

There was no feeling of reunion. Only fear comes over.

Seeing the voices with different tone and content of speech, and the individual actions of facial expressions and lives, Leonardo truly remembered the scene of his own death.

“It’s not…! Kup…!”

Between the collar and neck, which was eventually caught, Ariaspil’s strength was several times higher than that of four years ago.

“What year is it?”

Leonardo did not answer. It wasn’t just because he wanted to hide it, but because his vocal cords were being pressed down, so he couldn’t speak even if he wanted to.

“What year…! Whose kid is that…! I’m asking…?!”

“It is you.”

At those words, Ariaspil looked back in bewilderment. Ain took off his hood to help explain. The gray hair under the hood was fluttering, indicating that Ain had the gender of a girl.

“Exactly Ariaspil Reinhardt, your body was formed by absorbing the genes present in your hair and catalyzing your father’s blood.”

“…Wait a minute… Two feet…”

Ariaspil loosened the power of his grasp, whether there was something to hold on to. Ain’s braided hair, swaying in the wind, recalled the old memories of the promise of a reunion.

“…Cool…It’s long to explain… In a nutshell, Ain is a workhorse that has been preserved as a sage’s legacy.”

Leo, who barely managed to get out of Ariaspil’s hands, summarized the very late explanation of the situation. Maybe it was because I had a strong throat, and it was an added bonus that I kept coughing in a hoarse voice.

***

The reception room of the quiet temple was not because of the solemn atmosphere, but because of the complicated twist of the present situation.

“Can I explain? father?”

As the silence grew longer, Ain broke the luck with her own consideration.

“…no. I’ll do it. Couldn’t the title of father be more respectful than that?”

“But you said that you don’t like the titles used by general servants such as masters or masters.”

Isn’t it natural? If you hear the titles of Master or Master from such a young-looking child, you will look like a crazy person.

“…First, I’ll explain why I went to the mana tower.”

Shortly after Ariaspil left for the temple, Leo left for the mana tower for new training and growth.

In fact, since Leonardo was at the peak of his martial arts skills for the body and mana core, he did not feel the need to continue investing.

In the midst of continuing to study and train magic in the tower,

“Ameri and Rios-sama said we should explore more of the Sage’s legacy.”

Aldasapi Leonardo had a history of discovering and acquiring the legacy of the wise man twice. In fact, if it was Leo, there was no reason to refuse, as finding another legacy was simple.

“I succeeded in finding various heritages…”

They succeeded in obtaining the staff and magic tools one by one, and all that was left was the workhorse that the sage had made and kept.

“That’s how I found Ain.”

Perhaps he felt doubt about the too concise explanation, Lumine raised her hand.

“But then, I don’t know why Ain-san calls Knight Leo his father… Wouldn’t it be right to think of the wise man as his parents?”

It was also a question, but what was more questionable than that was the sage himself. I couldn’t see the spirit body of the sage who would normally mumble with the spirit behind it.

“…that…”

At that time, the place where the fugitive horse was hidden was the old library of the tower, which would not have been easily permitted in the first place, but the owners of the tower who could not ignore Leo’s career and Rios’ family allowed him to enter and exit the old library for a while for a certain period of time. .

-‘Then how did you hide it?’

-[The structure hasn’t changed? Then it’s easy.]

Leo used the wise man’s words as if reading an answer sheet to find the secret space of the old library. There was a secret device that opened the back door of the bookshelf when you opened the magic book in a certain order.

As I walked into the back space of the bookshelf, what I saw was a huge and sturdy iron barrel. Depending on the shape, it looked like a round tube.

“…it was fine until I opened it…”

The problem was right after opening. In Cheoltong, it was not a fussima in the form of a human as it is today, but a liquid creature that looked like a slime.

“Then it suddenly clings to my body and absorbs blood and flesh…”

-‘Get out!! I’ll have to call the support while I get some time!!’

-‘Are you okay?! cadet?! And then…!’

-‘First of all, as Leonardo-kun said! If you use a map, you can move quickly!’

First of all, Ameri and Rios went out and asked for support. Even if there was only one person left, the decision was made because it could spread even more damage if it clings to this liquid monster.

-‘shit…! away…!!’

-[Hmm… He seems to have lost his physical data?]

While Leonardo was deprived of bodily fluids in real time, the sage analyzed the situation in an annoyingly calm manner.

-‘Then what should I do?!’

-‘Give me the cells and mana components that will become data. If we go on like this, will we both collapse?’

Just as I thought it would be a bit dangerous if I went on like this, the Liquid Familiar went into Leo’s clothes and ate Ariaspil’s hair in his leather pocket.

“At the time, I was reacting to something full of vitality. And the hair felt thick mana and vitality.”

The liquid workhorse that completely ate up even the hair like that gradually took on a human form.

-[…Complete the absorption of genes, begin to recover intelligence and save the body.]

The girl, who was all liquid, gradually taking shape from head to foot, as if sculpting clay, opened her mouth.

-‘I’ll ask you. Are you the one who woke me up?’

And when Jiwon came, there was only a girl from Jeolla and Leonardo looking at it.

“…So Leo-sama becomes the father and Ariaspil-sama becomes the mother.”

Such a statement was possible because it was the body of a workhorse that was formed by mixing the physical information of the two of them.

“That’s how I was formed by combining the two ingredients.”

“So things got complicated.”

I asked and questioned the wise man, but the sage himself did not know that things would turn out like this, but he completely shattered human patience with the ‘I don’t know’ tactic.

Unlike the era in which the sage lived, the current regulations on sage horses, even artificial creatures with intelligence, are tight.

“So… you’re here to get permission from the temple.”

“It’s like that. It was also necessary to undergo a general physical examination.”

The Magic Tower was clearly the best group of magic that could examine the body academically. However, when it comes to life and ethics, at least the temple side prevailed over the mana tower.

“…and it was probably necessary to report to Miss Arya as well.”

First of all, I put Rios and Ameri on tight lockdown. In any case, as long as Reinhardt was partially succeeded, Ein’s existence could not be considered separately from the family.

“…sorry…”

“…cute. So are you my child?”

As soon as something happened and she was about to apologize, Ariaspil smiled in hopes and began to enjoy the current situation.

In the end, Ain is the child of ‘Leo and Arya herself’, the daughter of blood.

Conversely, this will make planning your honeymoon easier.

“Would you like to call me mom too? Ain?”

Aria asked with a slightly playful look. Seeing Leo, who was dyed red and bewildered, thought that his knight was the same, so he was relieved.

“No, I will decline.”

Ain’s answer without hesitation was a doctor as clean as a cutting machine.

“…uh… you say no?”

The atmosphere had grown cold, and even Ariaspil, who had taken out the nonsense, looked embarrassed.

“Yes, I refuse.”

“…before, I must have been a mother…”

“You are biologically in the mother’s position. I have no intention of denying it. But in a relationship, I cannot think of you as my mother.”

To sum up, it meant that you only gave birth to me, and you didn’t deserve to be called a parent. Ariasviel asked if he was a little angry, forcing a smile on his face.

“Can you tell me why…”

“Yes, I will tell you.”

Cut off those words, he answered Ain. It seemed as if he had been waiting for it.

“First, let me contrast with why I consider Leonardo-sama to be my father.”

Even Leonardo looked very embarrassed and bewildered.

“I am not essentially Leonardo’s child. If family relationships were formed and maintained simply because blood and genes were mixed, the concept of orphans would not exist.”

It was like Leo’s story. Lumine, who belongs to the same context, had no choice but to agree.

“But Leonardo-sama was responsible for me.”

“Responsibility… so great…”

“From my father’s point of view, it may seem trivial to face-to-face with the masters and discuss my disposition for a few days, and as a result of the vote, the same number came out. Ramen, I thought, was a dedication that took a big risk and worked hard. Even if my father denies it.”

Luminego, Ariaspil, and Angel, all rolled their eyes and looked at Leonardo and Ain alternately.

“…Did you discuss it? How many days?”

“…ah… it’s just… it’s not a simple matter.”

“If the opposing side had the upper hand in the discussion, it would have been researched by repeating disassembly, reassembly, and various experiments until I belonged to the mana tower and my existence was revealed in the temple. I also thought there was some truth to that opinion.”

Even if Leonardo tried to solve the problem lightly, Ain brought out the uncomfortable truth beneath the surface of the problem.

“But Leonardo-sama said to me this way, and I joined the discussion alone.”

-‘If you tell me something that’s scary, I’ll think about it for a bit, but it’s just stupid to say that you don’t know anything scary. don’t worry. What will I do?’

“And he used all sorts of means to protect me and my existence. We controlled the information so that it didn’t harm the family, so most of us had to solve the problem on our own.”

Leonardo read through all the historical facts and treatises on the sage, and looked at the precedents and the writings, records, and legends of the sage about the sage, and sought a way to gain an advantage in the situation. And it actually worked.

“It was a feeling I couldn’t understand, so I asked.”

-‘Why did you claim my ownership?’

-‘Because you have to live first before you can think of many things.’

-‘I’m not alive, am I?’

-‘Alive… You know what? Just a few years ago, a spirit was not a person, and if you go back a few decades, slaves and prisoners were not even treated as human beings.’

-‘Yeah, I know.’

-‘Then, wouldn’t you be able to be considered a life someday too?’

-‘It is a logical or overly optimistic judgment. And that’s not a direct factor to keep me going.’

-‘…because you weren’t formed by my blood alone. I can’t decide on my own.’

-‘It’s the other person who gave you the hair cells. Then this behavior makes sense. Who are you?’

-‘…You are the most special person to me. Thanks to him, I barely understood what it meant to be alive.’

The two instantly blushed, the innocence of a child made the young man who had just grown up to be ashamed of the virgin.

“…Then, wouldn’t it be okay to call Ariaspil-sama ‘mother’?”

After hearing this embarrassing and unfamiliar story quite seriously, Lumine asked carefully.

“Before I came here, I acquired the knowledge of the present age through conversations with the library and those who visited the temple.”

Leo knew that too. First of all, based on the common sense gained from the book, it was refined into conversations with Ameri, herself, and Rios.

Thanks to this, the minimum sociality was established.

“As a result, Ariaspil-sama is not yet qualified to be a mother.”

“…yet…?”

Not yet… In other words…

“First of all, the ideal couple loved each other. Based on the story so far, the two of them love each other enough. The only problem is that there is an obsession with excessive affection, but it was thought to be a milder problem than abuse or neglect. Rather, it was judged that it was safe to look at it as a feature.”

With a blushing face, Lumine suddenly leaves the room with the excuse that the bathroom is urgent.

“And I’ve also heard that there are cases of violence between Ariaspil-sama and Leonardo-sama.”

It is true. Of course, they didn’t actually try to kill or hurt, but they each acted with their own reasons and meanings.

“But I did a search and found that this was not hate or self-rational love. In fact, Ariaspil-nim ended up strangling when he thought that Leonardo-sama had a child and had a companion.”

The strangulation was also severe, but considering their strength, it wasn’t too dangerous.

“Based on the information so far, breaking the neck would not have been a problem. This is thought to be a similar form of ‘day and night’ or ‘SM’ that Rios said. That’s why we can judge that Leonardo-sama didn’t even counterattack.”

For some reason, the two prospective parents increased their murderous intentions towards Rios. It was a perfectly normal phenomenon.

“The main issue is that, despite this relationship, the two are not lovers, nor are they married. In this case, the concept of being the adopted child of former Leonardo can be in the form of a woman, but she cannot become Ariaspil’s daughter.”

Leonardo was probably not the only one who felt the flow of conversation was strange.

“So, in order for us to have a mother-daughter relationship, the two of you need to get married. It is common knowledge that marriage is the fruit of love. I would appreciate it if you consider having a younger brother in the future.”

At this time, Ariaspil thought.

this is filial piety
