2nd Rank Has Returned

Troubles of Love-2

[I’m really sorry now, so I’m asking…]

The sage asked with a serious expression about the one problem that determined Leonardo’s life. He was deeply concerned and even felt guilty about whether his actions had taken away a man’s instinctive identity.

[You have become a real eunuch by sticking a wise man’s stone…]

＜Shut up. And why are you talking like that all of a sudden?＞

He was resting in his own room at the mansion he had returned from after a long time, and the sage was floating around making such an unfortunate noise.

In addition, on the day I unconsciously dreamed, I ate it for over a month, and when I saw the scene where I miscalculated the time to temporarily remove the wise man and released my s*xual desire, it was ridiculous to say such a thing to a subject that had been teased for more than six months.

[…are you seriously asking? Did you throw yesterday’s work in the trash like a snuffed piece of tissue paper?]

＜Did everyone suddenly clap their foreheads yesterday?＞

To be honest, it was a novelty that I will remember even after a year has passed. It must have been something he did out of frustration or absurdity, but looking at the context of the situation, there was nothing that could be done.

Because what he said was just a very common sense of manners based on his experience before the return.

＜And the conversation itself was heartwarming.＞

[…Yeah, I couldn’t get a warm throat so it was blocked by fire.]

＜What the hell is the problem?＞

Reinhardt is fine, the family members are there, the damn senate has already been dealt with, and the characters who could be enemies have been dealt with externally for four years in the tower.

Even Arya is alive as a human being, so what could be a better situation than this?

[…huh…well…]

＜Why?＞

[…not. Just think about it.]

Because Leonardo’s parable was so extreme and gloomy, and because it didn’t seem like a simple parable, the wise man didn’t even dare to go further.

At that moment, someone knocked on Leonardo’s door.

“It’s Ain. Can I come in? father.”

Now there was no difference in that name. At first, even the people of the family were already nervous because they couldn’t give Ain the last name of ‘Reinhardt’, but it was strange that he was awkward.

“You can come in.”

“thank you.”

Ain reached out with a small stature and turned the slightly higher doorknob. Leonardo got up and approached the door, and Ain raised his head and looked at his father.

“good morning. father.”

“okay. But can you explain to me why you came on a good morning and suddenly grabbed the wise man by the snout?”

[eup…eupeup…!]

Now, it was Ain who had reached the point of shocking the sage by calculating the sound wave value himself. As a parent, it may be something to be proud of, but it was necessary to ask because the action was so sudden.

“I have something to tell you.”

“…Is it similar to the case of the 300-year Cheol-Tong case, when you answered ‘I forgot’ to the reason you didn’t come?”

At that time, he took the initiative and put out a chess board in which he beat the wise man, but Ain at the time seemed to have quite a bit of emotion as well.

Leonardo, who thought it was a kind of shock filial piety, later permitted the act of violence to beat the spirit body of the sage. In an educational sense, with no personal feelings whatsoever.

“…similar.”

At this time, Ain was able to learn ‘a lie, not a lie’ as an action for the first time.

“Then it can’t be helped. Sage, have a good conversation.”

“This sib…! town! Gaeabb…!”

Kwajik

He wanted to listen to the wise man in his own way, but unfortunately, the wise man kept his mouth shut at Ain’s intense urging. It looks like the snout is recessed into his fist, but that yangban is good at sticking his mouth in, so there was no need to ask. There were, of course, no personal feelings.

“Then rest in peace.”

“No, I’m going out too.”

It’s been a while since I’ve returned to the mansion, so I’m going to say hello to the seniors and juniors of the knights I took care of, as well as the users. If there is anything you need help with, I am willing to help.

“no. Father needs to rest.”

“…suddenly?”

When Ain suddenly gave advice like a command, Leonardo asked in a slightly bewildered tone. Considering Ain’s usual attitude, it was because today’s work was too unexpected.

“ah…”

Ain couldn’t answer that question right away. In the case of humans, it was a psychological ’embarrassment’, and in the case of machines, it would be a ‘decreased output speed’ due to a calculation error.

and Ain

“…You always overworked, so I decided that it would be good to take a break from time to time.”

I also learned ‘goodwill packaging’.

In addition, Ain was not forgetting the advice that if he started a sentence with the truth of some of his father’s teaching techniques and ended the sentence with a lie, the other party would be more likely to be deceived.

“okay? Who made you say that?”

However, when Leonardo asked a sharp question, Ain instantly felt the output speed drop again.

In fact, from the point of view of teaching such a technique, it also meant that Leonardo was not easily succumbed to the technique.

“…that…?”

[…town?]

Leonardo smiled softly and stroked Ain’s hair.

“If you think of it yourself, I want to compliment you. Ain, I think it’s the first time I’ve been worried about my daughter. thanks It wouldn’t hurt to take a break.”

Ain was ’embarrassed’ at that kind gesture. I couldn’t explain it, but I could understand why Ariaspil loved Leonardo like he was obsessed with it.

“…thank you.”

[Then put the snout… and turn it off…]

It seemed that something like a bug had been said, but Leonardo, who was about to rest, couldn’t hear it. I didn’t even want to hear it, because it must have been something less than a bug anyway.

“Then rest in peace.”

“Don’t go too far. No matter how much I train, the total amount of mana is on the low side.”

No matter how much experience and training he went through before returning, his body itself had no intrinsic talent.

When Ain first analyzed her genes, it was said that ‘it is too average apart from calculations, so there is a gap from actual efficiency.’

In fact, the number of their circles and cores is 4 each, on average, which is great, but in a venerable knight family, if you continue that amount of effort for the same amount of time, you may get several times more results.

The evidence was engraved in Reinhardt here.

“…then I…”

Leonardo took out some magic books he had brought from the tower. And at the same time, I put the glasses I put in the eyeglasses store on my eyes.

Leonardo, of course, had no problems with his eyesight. Rather, it was safe to say that he had a clairvoyant ability to see farther than an ordinary knight through training.

However, it was not that the glasses were not without prescription. On the contrary, because high refractive glasses were installed, which had a higher power than average glasses, the field of view was adversely disturbed.

But that was also what Leo was aiming for.

“After all, taking a break from training…”

Reading the contents of a book by controlling the muscles of the eyes with an auror. It is a training method that requires a high level of technique because it is necessary to control the muscle strength of the eyeballs according to the degree of glasses.

Through this, the visual acuity of the body could be improved, and the eyes themselves were strengthened with a telescope-like structure, making it possible to shoot from an ultra-long range.

Reading the magic book has the meaning of simply reviewing it, but also the meaning of not distracting the mind even with complex terms.

‘…But if you get used to the content too much, it doesn’t mean anything.’

I have already read this book more than 10 times. ‘Magic Circle: A Contemplation Reaching a Perfect Circle’ can be interpreted in a variety of ways each time you read it, but it is not good to be picky about books in many ways.

Today was a lot of guests. It hadn’t even been an hour since I woke up, and it was a lot if it was popular with two or more guests.

“…Who are you?”

“It’s me. Leonardo.”

It was strangely vague, but with a voice that held the weight in a clumsy way, I could get a sense of who the owner of the tone was.

“Are you Chris?”

“…Yes.”

The trembling of his voice was odd, but it wasn’t too strange, so Leonardo approached the door and opened it himself.

“good morning. Chris.”

“…Reading in the morning? A lot has changed intellectually in the past four years.”

Chris looked at Leo with a really startled look. The book he is currently holding appears to be a highly educated book, both as a title and as a cover, and the extra glasses made his impression more intelligent.

“Because it is an important skill to acquire education. It’s a pretty interesting theory, can I borrow it?”

“…No, I want to focus on martial arts rather than magic.”

Actually, it was because he didn’t like reading and just looking at books without pictures made him sick, but Chris didn’t dare bring it out.

“is that so? When I looked in the library in the past, there were several books by the same author, but this book is too theoretical.”

“…right. Theory is important, but in the end it is practice that determines the game.”

For example, theoretically, putting a few books in the library for the purpose of reading them in practice could be a suitable example.

“So, do you have any reason to come here?”

Although it seemed too direct, it was also natural to ask a question considering Chris’s usual behavior.

“…that’s…that…”

He was very hesitant and had an attitude that was too foreign for a normal Chris.

Even when asked if it would be okay if it was normal, even if the ghouls made a fuss about something like, ‘I have come to look at the shadows in your soul as a person with that nickname, Darkness,’ it’s not enough.

“…Is it possible to get counseling about dating?”

“…you mean dating counseling?”

His tone was calm, but when it became military-style, Leonardo was astonished. It was more shocking than saying that the wise man had experience in dating that Chris asked him for advice about love.

“…for me? Haven’t you told the others?”

“…that is…”

＜I just follow the script. Just according to the script.＞

Rios’ voice was heard through the piercing, and she attached the radio magic tool made by Rios to the earrings she usually wears.

With this, the party on the other side of the room could eavesdrop on Leo’s conversation and give instructions.

“…you know. our people.”

You don’t have to talk long. On the contrary, one short sentence could have felt more persuasive.

“…but… what about Silica-sama?”

Leonardo’s words also meant that, in other words, the people of the family other than Silica were not very confident in consulting these stories.

Except for Silica, who participated in the wiretapping, some people were angry, but it was something they could not help but agree with in their hearts. I was also aiming for that and writing the script.

“…Sirika-sama has already gone out. You’ve been busy with social gatherings with the new Sang-san recently.”

It was a bright red lie. Silica, who is now on the other side of the room, was very busy with the social gatherings of the wiretapping group instead of the social gatherings with Sang Sang.

“is that so…? However, I am not good at dating, so I can’t give you any advice.”

＜I know.＞

Everyone added a word to Leonardo’s words through the wiretapping device. There were various types, but most of the content was close to blaming him for being a perfect hitter on a subject he was good at flirting with.

“…I just want to hear your opinion. I guess… I’m almost new to this kind of thing…”

As the unnatural attitude was related to love, on the contrary, it was helping Chris’ acting even more. It was because he was genuinely embarrassed by this kind of story, but Chris’ expression seemed like a woman who had trouble finding love that came late.

“…if you are okay with the form of counseling for troubles… I can do it for you. Even in the tower, I often did that.”

Whether it’s juniors who are worried about subjects or seniors who are thinking about their future professional careers, Leo gave his own advice to such concerns as he felt like he was building a network.

Thanks to this, her reputation as the daughter of Cheong Tap-ju rose again, and the friendship between other students improved.

＜You can do that as well.＞

“…and that’s fine.”

“…there’s no such thing as tea, so if you go outside…”

“not! Let’s not talk here!”

When his voice suddenly rose, Leonardo panicked again. In fact, this was close to an improvisation in order to protect Chris’s own honor, as Ariana and other family knights could be misunderstood by hearing this.

“…ah… I see.”

“First, calm down. Leonardo also has a good sense of this side, so if he gets caught, it’s over.＞

So Rios gave warnings and cautions, reconfirming the script to move Chris forward.

＜First of all, it’s difficult to bring out things like first love…＞

“…that… Leonardo, do you… have your first love…?”

At this moment, he recognized that the circumstances of the one who gave the order and the one who received it were misaligned. In the script, the theme of ‘first love’ was definitely the number one theme, but what Rios wanted was to draw out the quality of the conversation delicately like a silk thread, not to bring it out directly.

And if you look at Leonardo’s behavior, it’s clear that there’s no such thing as first love…

“…is it your first love? It’s hard to say no at all, but there’s no such thing as a very pleasant story.”

to put it differently.

“…you mean that you have a first love? really?”

“…well, it ended up being a big deal.”

…” said Leonardo with a smile. It was a natural smile, but it wasn’t a smile of joy.

This was real.
