798.
Clatter clatter-
“A backwater place without even a warp gate in this day and age.”
Roon made an expression of wonder as he looked at the scenery visible outside the carriage.
Seeing Roon like that, Leo said.
“Sorry it’s such a backwater place.”
“Huh?”
Roon’s eyes widened.
Seeing Roon like that, Leo said.
“This is my hometown, you see.”
“What?”
“To be precise, my hometown after reincarnation.”
“A rural territory makes my heart feel warm.”
“Weren’t you making a face like you really hated it just a moment ago?”
“Not at all.”
Leo chuckled as he watched Roon shamelessly play innocent.
‘I wonder if Father and Mother got married?’
He suddenly thought of his father and mother from this world’s timeline.
‘And was I born?’
Various questions arose.
After a short while like that.
The carriage arrived in front of the Flobe Family’s main mansion.
As the carriage stopped, people who appeared to be knights lined up in formation with a rumble.
Like other academies, the external status of Seirun’s student council president was no less than that of a king of a nation.
Since Roon was making an official visit, this level of hospitality was natural.
Someone opened the carriage door from outside.
As Roon was about to get out of the carriage, Leo stood up first.
“I’ll get out first.”
“Huh?”
Leo, who said that, got out of the carriage.
When a human got out of the Seirun student council president’s carriage, everyone’s attention focused on him.
“A human?”
“Who is that?”
“Is he Roon Orweni’s servant?”
“If it’s a servant, wouldn’t they use an elf? Why a human?”
Murmuring voices could be heard.
Leo glanced at them.
For Leo, these were people whose faces he knew.
‘Central nobles of Delad.’
Influential nobles of Delad.
Of course, they were only influential nobles by the standards of the small rural kingdom of Delad, and when viewed on a global scale, they were nothing more than vain frontier nobles.
The reason they were at the Flobe Family mansion was simple.
Due to the appearance of the black flame pillar, people were dispatched from Lumern and Seirun, led by the Rodren Empire.
No matter how noble they were, as nobles of a frontier kingdom, these were people they could never meet in their lifetime.
As such, they came to the Flobe Family with the extremely noble purpose of making impressions and building connections.
Looking closely, even the knights lined up were not people from the Flobe Family but royal knights of Delad.
‘It’s become a national-level event.’
Leo clicked his tongue lightly.
While everyone was murmuring and looking at Leo, someone approached.
‘Oh?’
That young boy was quite familiar to Leo.
From childhood until before entering Lumern.
It was someone he attended Delan Royal School with.
It was Gellibun, who boasted about being a magic genius himself, but whose talent Leo thought was really lacking.
‘Well, he was at a level where he could be called a genius without shame by our kingdom’s standards.’
It was a face he hadn’t seen since enrollment, but he wasn’t particularly glad to see him.
They weren’t exactly friends, and Gellibun had looked down on Leo who didn’t learn aura.
‘After that, he tried to enroll several times but… failed every time, wasn’t it?’
It seemed that future hadn’t changed in this timeline either.
However, there was a reason Leo was somewhat glad that Gellibun appeared.
“Who are you?”
Gellibun looked at Leo with a puzzled face.
‘This confirms it. A person named Leo Flobe was never born in this world.’
He had been curious whether another Leo Flobe born with the soul of Kail, the Hero of the Beginning, had been born or not.
Because if he had been born, there was no way he wouldn’t have recognized him.
‘I wonder how Father and Mother are living. Did they have another child?’
Leo made a puzzled expression and said.
“Something like a guide for the Seirun president?”
“…Are you a Lumern student?”
“I’m a wandering adventurer.”
“Hmph, what. I thought there might be something since you got out of the same carriage. Just some adventurer nobody.”
‘Wow, how is this guy so consistent?’
Leo made an expression of wonder as he watched Gellibun’s attitude change immediately.
Even so, if he rode in the same carriage as the Seirun student council president, he should be a little careful.
‘Well, he’s needlessly authoritarian.’
Perhaps because it was a rural kingdom, Delad was a country where the nobles’ territorial behavior was extremely strong.
It was also a tiresome country that emphasized noble tradition and pride to an excessive degree.
‘That’s why Father was so fed up with it.’
Leo’s father, Daid.
He was a noble with very open thinking.
Gentle and took good care of the people around him.
‘That’s probably why Mother fell for him.’
Actually, only Daid could handle Raina.
If it wasn’t Daid, it was safe to say there was no man who could handle Raina.
Thinking of his father, Daid, Leo reached his hand into the carriage.
Roon, who had been watching the situation from inside the carriage, gaped.
‘What? That guy. Did he get out first to escort me?’
Roon’s face contorted with shock.
Leo looked at Roon like that and furrowed his brow.
‘Why is he looking at me with that face like he saw something strange?’
Just then.
Gellibun pushed Leo away with a thud-! and extended his hand into the carriage.
“Noble and beautiful star of the night sky… Seirun’s student council president, Roon Orweni. I am the greatest magic genius of the Kingdom of Delad, Gullibun Traden. I have been assigned to guide Roon Orweni.”
At those words, Roon stared down at Gellibun’s hand, then scrunched up his face with a pak-!
When Gellibun made a flustered expression at that reaction.
Slam-!
Roon opened the carriage window, stuck his face out, and shouted.
“Runia! Runia!”
“Ah! Yes! Senior Roon!”
“Ah! Yes! Senior Rune!”
Lunia, who had been riding in the carriage following the one Leo and Roon were in, hurriedly got off her carriage and came running over.
“Get rid of this guy. He’s annoying.”
When Roon pointed at Gellibun with his finger, Lunia’s face turned cold.
“Yes! Get lost.”
“B-but I have a mission to escort Lord Roon Orweni as a representative of the Kingdom of Delaad…”
“What?! Senior Roon said he doesn’t like you! Why don’t you get lost?! I’ll burn off all your hair!”
“L-Lady Lunia. Please calm down. Your true nature is showing.”
“Hey hey! You weren’t like this before!? Are you a thug?”
“No! Who does he think he is, talking about escorting when Senior Roon says he doesn’t like him!”
Eiran and Cal, who had been riding in the same carriage, came running over in shock and hung onto Lunia’s arms, stopping her from causing a scene.
“Hiik?!”
Gellibun, crushed by Lunia’s murderous aura, disappeared as if fleeing.
“Hmph! Acting all high and mighty when he’s nothing special!”
Watching this scene, Roon snorted.
Looking at Roon like that, Leo crossed his arms.
“Won’t this be a diplomatic discourtesy?”
“The discourtesy was committed by them first. They ignored you, who came as my guest. Anyway, those guys drunk on authority can’t even squeak when you crush them with authority.”
As Leo was about to shake his head and walk away while watching Roon growl fiercely.
Grab-!
Roon grabbed the back of Leo’s neck.
He stretched his hand so far that his pelvis got caught on the carriage window.
It became a situation where it wouldn’t be strange if he fell out through the window.
“Why?”
When Leo frowned, Roon snorted.
“Isn’t there something you forgot?”
“No?”
At Leo’s answer, Roon made a blank expression and forcibly pulled Leo back.
Leo sighed and straightened his clothes, then extended his hand into the carriage.
At Leo’s attitude, Roon’s eyes sparkled.
“What about the line?”
“Get down. Damn elf.”
Roon pouted his lips.
At that sight, Leo shook his head and said.
“Please come down, miss.”
At those words, Roon smiled brightly.
Then he lifted his chin and took Leo’s hand with an elegant gesture.
And stepped down from the carriage gracefully.
The nobles of Delaad, who had been frozen by Roon’s almost delinquent-like attitude just moments before, unconsciously let out gasps of admiration.
So beautiful.
It was like a goddess descending to the earthly realm during the age of gods.
The delinquent-like appearance from just before was nowhere to be seen.
When Roon stepped down to the ground, time that seemed to have stopped began flowing again.
“My goodness… Senior Roon… you’re so beautiful.”
Eiran clasped her hands together with a moved expression.
“I think this is the first time I’ve seen you smile like that since our 2nd year.”
Lunia also made a touched expression.
“Wow… when you smile, it’s really no joke? Oh, look at my heart beating. It’s bad for the heart.”
Cal tapped his left chest and shook his head.
Leo, who had created Roon’s blooming smile, let go of Roon’s hand and walked ahead first.
Then he approached a knight nearby.
“Where is Duke Flobe?”
He was a Knight of the Flobe Family whose face Leo recognized.
At Leo’s question, the knight who came to his senses answered hurriedly.
“H-he’s in his office. The territory suffered great damage from the earthquake and the black pillar of flames… so he’s very busy with official duties.”
“I understand.”
Leo nodded and entered the manor.
“Ah! Let’s go together!”
Roon ran to Leo’s side.
Then he smiled brightly and linked arms.
“Strange rumors will spread.”
“About me? No, I’d actually like a proper scandal to break out~”
Grab-! Roon hugged Leo’s arm and giggled.
Seeing Roon like this, the nobles of Delaad urgently spoke up.
“L-Lord Roon Orweni. A welcome party has been prepared. If you would go there…”
“A welcome party? I haven’t even greeted the master of the manor, what welcome party? And what am I here for right now that you’re talking about a welcome party? Are you kidding me right now?”
“Hiiik?!”
When Roon spoke with a murderous face completely different from the gentle smile he had shown Leo, the Delaad noble shrank back and retreated.
Looking at such a noble, Roon snorted and looked up at Leo again with a bright smile.
Lunia, Eiran, and Cal followed the two into the manor.
“Um… Leo.”
Then Cal carefully spoke up.
“You seem to get along really well with Seirun’s student council president?”
“Because we’re best friends.”
Saying that, Leo pushed Roon’s face away with his hand.
Roon tried to bite Leo’s hand that was trying to push him away.
“We’re not just simple best friends.”
Roon, who had bitten Leo’s hand once, grinned.
Then he put more strength into the arm hugging Leo’s arm and said.
“We love each other!”
“What?”
“T-that’s…!”
Lunia and Eiran’s eyes widened.
“It’s one-sided love.”
“Soon you won’t be able to help but like me too, right?”
Roon snorted.
The three people blankly watched the backs of the two walking like that.
Lunia and Eiran were frozen.
Cal stroked his chin.
“Did Leo save a country or something?”
He saved the world, not a country.
Leo, who had briefly distanced himself from the three, whispered quietly.
“Weren’t you not going to reveal your feelings until I made myself like you?”
“That was when I was Luna.”
Roon smiled brightly.
“I’m Roon Orweni now.”
“You change things as you please.”
It was when Leo was shaking his head.
“Oh my? Seirun’s student council president?”
A familiar voice was heard from the other end of the corridor.
Click- Click-
“It’s been a while.”
“Indeed. It has been a while. Is that handsome young boy next to you your boyfriend? You two seem very affectionate?”
Leo silently stared at the beautiful woman who was smiling brightly.
Roon let go of Leo’s arm and shook hands with the woman.
Soon after, the woman stood in front of Leo and extended her hand.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Raina Jerdinger. I’m participating in this investigation as a representative of the Rodren Empire.”
At those words, Leo muttered bitterly.
“I guess you couldn’t get married because of your personality.”
At Leo’s muttering, Raina smiled coldly and said to Roon.
“Seirun Student Council President, would it be okay if I killed this bastard?”
