Speeding-3
The riots in the train continued.
Anus said that Leo sent a letter stating that it would be difficult for Arya to come after Arya entered the temple.
Still, he had a lot of money to send and the news of contact was small, so Dean stopped such Anus and reconciled at least through a letter.
Arya told her not to send a letter at all, so she hit the ground two hours later and regretted it.
In the case of Lumine, she lamented that it was her daily routine to dry and soothe Arya’s escape.
The only ones who kept their mouths shut were a young man and her daughter.
[Does the prophet care?]
Instead of speaking as a spirit, the sage made only a sound inside the sage stone. With this, the people outside will not be able to hear this conversation.
＜…probably.＞
If he had met the Prophet by doing the same thing as before, he would be interested or curious about this phenomenon, but not more emotionally.
The problem was that the context of the prophet’s foreknowledge was that it was a prophecy that linked events before the return, even before it happened.
＜Is it just a coincidence?＞
[This is unlikely. Even if I think about it, it’s exquisite as if I was aiming too much.]
Even meeting Anus and Dean now seemed to lead Leo to an invisible causal factor.
＜In the end, meeting is the answer.＞
[Yes, it may not be the answer, but it will be a formula to solve.]
Once the decision was made, there was no reason to hesitate. Just put it into action, as always.
“Chief.”
When everyone felt uncomfortable with the protagonist of the story, who had been keeping silence, Leo opened his mouth.
Then his eyes focused on Leo.
“Will we ever see that prophetic friend?”
“suddenly? why?”
Dean, who was leading the conversation next to him, questioned Leo’s words. Rather, it was Anus who had been asked to understand.
“okay. It doesn’t matter.”
“But what did you ask for? Do you have any prophecies you would like to receive? Whether it’s something in the future…”
At those words, she leaned her head behind Arya’s ear, secretly expecting Leo’s answer. You probably have romantic and fresh ideas such as compatibility or love fortune.
“If you can interpret the revelation as a prophecy, I don’t think it would be a bad idea to try it.”
Of course, neither superficially nor internally, Leo had no intention of doing so.
Perhaps she was disappointed with the clerical attitude, Arya wiped her blush with a slightly embarrassed face.
“Certainly, revelation and prophecy are closely related. I think it would be good to go.”
“…but are you okay? that person…”
“If you look at it, it doesn’t matter if it’s legal.”
The word ‘in hindsight’ is a bit of a nuisance, but it’s probably fine in that it’s legal.
Even if it was a problem, it would have been difficult because of the fact that the adult Lumine and the hero Arya were by their side.
“But before that.”
Anus gradually looked out the window and pointed to the station that came into view.
“I want to visit the Reinhardt family, is that okay?”
“uh…”
Leonardo thought for a moment. Even if there was a misunderstanding that could be rude, I couldn’t answer it right away.
It was never because Anus and Dean were a nuisance. Rather, it was the opposite.
[…Most of the family members are not sane…]
As the sage said, the problem was on the family side. In Leonardo’s mind, the madness of the family’s behavior was already revealed.
＜Huh. My name is Chris, a knight with the alias of darkness. What is the name of the two of you? 👌👌…＞
＜Hey, Leonardo, tell me about your old days and your first love! Long live pure love!＞
＜I can’t give my granddaughter to people like you!!!＞
It was truly chaos and madness, and it was questionable whether Anus and Dean could stand in the spot.
“Chief, no matter how much you think about it.”
Fortunately, Dean pointed that out first.
“Right now, you must be busy to meet the young lady who returned as a hero, but it is burdensome to visit suddenly no matter how much you think about it.”
I’m glad it was a very commonsense point. The fact that he sent money and meat to another address because he was sorry that he cowardly knocked him down when he left the village, really shined here.
“Oh, I’m fine. There are a lot of people in the mansion, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to prepare a hospitality.”
However, Arya barely managed to rub Leo’s mind cord with a file knife and committed atrocities. It wasn’t wrong, and there was no malice, so there was nothing to refute from his side.
“And just introducing Ain would turn the whole house upside down, but if you get stuck there, it will cause trouble and misunderstandings…”
It’s not just a misunderstanding, it’s probably confusing because it’s difficult to get a frame that didn’t exist. It’s definitely a family that doesn’t have to be.
“After all, it’s been a long time since I’ve been to town, so I won’t go right away. The death of the Prophet is not the same as today or tomorrow, so let’s take some time off.”
At that very common sense remark, Leonardo truly felt the brother-in-law’s bond. Perhaps the weight of the current kite will be comparable to that of the missing mother.
“The train stops. You will need to prepare to get off.”
The brakes sounded and the train gradually slowed down. The train stopped and the passengers began to disembark one by one following the guidance of the conductor.
“Then see you later. Ain-ah, listen to your dad while he’s away later.”
Dean stroked the expressionless Ain next to Leo.
I’m tired of denying that I’m a father now, but I can’t help but be grateful for what Dean has done.
“thank you. Uncle Dean. Thanks to my uncle, his heart rate has stabilized a lot.”
“…uh…um… let’s talk a little bit easier. Uncle’s bag strap is short.”
With that bewildered look, he stroked Ain and looked at Leonardo.
“I’m happy though. The work is hard, but the look is much better.”
Dean smirked as he patted his back a few times. Seeing my younger brother who has grown to the point where I can pat him on the back without bowing down now, I felt a cool and bizarre feeling.
“thank you. Hyung, I’ll buy you a lot of expensive rice later.”
“…um… rather than rice…”
Dean looked at Lumine, who was greeting Anus from the side. The sunlight reflected off the metal of the clock installed at the station, making Lumine’s wings even more radiant.
“…Are you going to introduce a woman?”
Eventually, Leo revealed the doctrine of saints and the gender hidden by Lumine’s appearance, and Dean felt his innocence crumble.
It was Leo who, even briefly, vowed to introduce even the seniors and juniors he knew later in the tower.
“Then don’t go. Don’t make the real girl suffer.”
“Yes, yes, would you?”
In a slightly playful voice, Leo answered Anus. It wasn’t just a cheeky joke, it was a joy to talk to a comfortable person whom I haven’t seen in a long time, and it was a playful game.
“You’re good at talking.”
“Now I have the ability.”
It was a joke with muscles and nerves, not even bones.
Laughing at that white joke, Anus left Dean by his side and went on his way. Then, on the way, suddenly slowing down, Anus stopped walking.
“…Isn’t it boring? Did you find what you were looking for?”
Leo answered with a smile at the slow pace that almost stopped.
“Thanks, I found it. Thanks to you, there is no room for boredom.”
“…then that’s it. Don’t be late and go home.”
As Anus walked forward while looking back, he felt a faint sense of disappointment.
“Are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
Feelings of disappointment cannot be cool.
“You’re trying to say that Leo keeps doing dangerous things.”
“I think it would be better than being a mercenary and dying, so I just didn’t say anything.”
But the fact that I can use the expression that I feel sad is that I was relieved on the one hand in that sad situation.
“You’ve grown up well. Leonardo.”
“…that’s good. I can laugh like that.”
Maybe it’s because I figured it out myself.
I suddenly had a thought.
***
Sadly, it wasn’t just Anus and Dean who felt sad. Leonardo, who was going to the mansion, was focused on ‘sorry’ rather than ‘cool’.
[Why are you so dead after a long time?]
＜Actually, this could be a ‘death prize’.＞
A small hurdle had been overcome, but the next ordeal awaited him, like a spire that would pierce the sky.
Marken as well as Gaju Gladio would have been washing and sharpening his sword. Kris or Silica would probably be okay, but considering the presence of the ambush Rios, it was an element that could not be overlooked.
“…it has arrived…! long time no see…”
With a new expression of emotion, Arya looked at the mansion. Leonardo was a mansion that felt huge and grand no matter how many times he looked at it, but in Arya’s eyes, it was his own home that was always familiar.
“But are you okay? I didn’t even contact you properly…”
In fact, it came back as soon as the revelation came, so I don’t know if the telegram was transmitted to the family.
The use of the warp gate has been temporarily frozen after the madness of Cheong Tapp-ju’s daughter, so the train is currently the fastest and most efficient means of transportation.
“It will be fine. On the contrary, if people come all at once for a party or a welcome, it’s just as troublesome.”
That was true, but I don’t know if it’s a matter to be taken lightly as it’s a family I haven’t seen in a long time.
As Leo himself, I was able to buy time to explain Ain.
“Finally here.”
Standing at the front door of the mansion was a woman wearing an unnecessarily long black coat and holding an unlit cigar.
“long time no see. Chris.”
“…aria?”
As the cigar he was biting fell, Chris looked at Arya with a shocked expression. I looked at Lumine next to me and immediately asked with trembling lips.
“…these… did you receive a revelation?”
Arya smiled brightly.
“yes! That’s right!”
Saying that, she confidently raised her holy sword. The sacred light of the holy sword covered the surroundings, announcing the glory of the returning warrior.
“…so beautiful…! proud of you! aria!”
“It’s still not enough. Leo trains in the tower, so he can freely wield the magic sword!”
Chris’ eyes twinkled at those words. She was also a pure woman with a childish heart who was attracted to glamorous things.
“As Rios said.”
“Yes? Did Rios explain?”
I didn’t think I’d be able to explain this until now, but I was surprised.
“of course. After you completed the ‘Aria of Martial Arts and Magic’, you talked about everything from what was called the Sotapju in Matoap.”
“…wait… you know my own magic name that way?”
“Isn’t that right? In fact, it is registered in the Magic Tower’s unique magic dictionary.”
One less reason to keep Rios alive, and one clearer reason to kill him.
“Who is that child? First time seeing it.”
Conversely, perhaps not knowing much about Ain, Chris asked while looking at Ain wearing a robe.
“The introduction is late. I am Ain.”
“…Ain…? How do parents…”
Here, the explanation should be as natural and dry as possible…
“It’s me and Leo’s daughter! Cute!?”
[It’s over.]
