Chapter 12 – Repayment
“Why? “Are you going to ask me to stay by Twinkle’s side instead of Jun’s side like last time?”
“…”
Leonard felt deeply guilty.
However, he did not deny what she said.
What she was about to do was rob a child of her only family, but it was something she had to do for the future of humanity.
“It is said that the concentration of demonic energy in the Labyrinth Demon King’s Castle is getting stronger. If things continue like this, the labyrinth will be liberated in as little as 10 years or as long as 20 years. However, the majority of nobles are giving up, saying they still have plenty of time.”
“So what?”
“Please stay by Leon’s side and protect him until he comes of age. “That child”
“Stop.”
Fortuna decisively interrupts Leonard.
She said, looking at him with a wise face instead of her usual idiotic look.
“I’m not interested in human politics. And the one who saves the world is not Leon, but the hero. “I can’t leave Jun to protect a child who isn’t even a hero.”
“But”
“You probably have a vague idea of what my existence is, right? Then you will know who the person who attached me to Jun is. Are you really going to go against his will? “His servant?”
Leonard pursed his lips and shook his head.
However, as if he had not given up yet, he made her last suggestion.
“Then, if a dangerous moment comes while you are by Jun’s side, if you can still afford it after rescuing Jun, please save Leon. “First and foremost above everyone else.”
“You talk as if Jun will be by Leon’s side forever.”
“Leon thinks highly of June. He is currently Leon’s top priority for recruitment.”
Fortuna chuckled at Leonard’s words.
The way we thought was the same.
He thought that if Leon reached out to Jun, Jun would naturally follow him.
The person concerned did not even know that he had the opposite opinion.
Well, that illusion is something that almost all people in high positions have, so I could just ignore it.
However, there was just one thing I couldn’t ignore.
“Cheeky things.”
“Fortuna?”
“You think highly of Jun? How dare you guys? “Who are you to judge my baby?”
Fortuna looked at Leonard with a cold gaze.
Her brilliant divine power began to overflow from her whole body, and soon her wings, which had been shining with rainbow light, turned pure white.
Leonard felt the holy power core in her chest tremble violently.
It felt like she would explode if left alone.
He once again realized who the being in front of him was.
An indescribable feeling of anxiety came over me.
“I am truly sorry for making a presumptuous remark.”
Leonard pulled her back, so her children couldn’t see her, then bowed her head to the ground and begged her for her mistakes.
“… Wake up.”
Fortuna decided to forgive him.
He honestly didn’t want to forgive.
I wanted to blow the hell away right away.
But I endured it. She had to endure it.
Jun hasn’t grown up yet.
I still needed his protection.
So, my relationship with him shouldn’t worsen more than necessary.
However, he had no intention of just letting it go.
With her divine power, which she had brought to her full potential for the first time in a long time, she activated her own power, the only one in this world that even those invading armies feared and tried to seal.
Jiing~
A white cartwheel appeared behind her.
Soon the wheel began to rotate counterclockwise, and soon a white light emanated from Leonard’s body and was absorbed into it.
Leonard watched the scene without saying a word, even though he was clearly seeing it.
“Aren’t you asking me what I’m doing?”
“It doesn’t matter what you do. “If only that could relieve Fortuna’s anger even a little.”
“… What would become of me if I say that?”
Fortuna sighed lightly and waved her hand away.
“You won’t be very lucky for a while.”
“… Is the absorption of luck Fortuna’s power?”
“Think whatever you want.”
Fortuna left only those words and headed to Seo Jun.
Leonard stayed there and quietly watched.
Caw! Caw!
Soggy!
“… It’s effective.”
I happened to get hit on the head by a crow passing by.
――――――――
“What conversation did you have with the priest?”
“… Secret.”
Fortuna hesitates to answer and eventually shakes her head.
Seeing her like that, Jun didn’t ask her any more questions.
Her intense emotions that came through the strings of her soul made her want to ask what had happened, but
He figured she wouldn’t need to know unless she told him.
Fortuna was very grateful for Jun’s response.
‘How do you say it? ‘Shame on you.’
Angry that he had judged her child as she pleased, she punished him with force.
Isn’t this something only a desperate mother would do?
Fortuna, who belatedly realized how uncouth her actions were, buried her face in Jun’s head and hid her bright red face.
“Por, I’m covered in sweat right now.”
“It’s okay, just stay still!”
Despite Jun’s concerns, Fortuna did not move away from his head, but instead clung to him even more.
She didn’t like it even though his sweat soaked her whole body.
The influence of God’s protection is slowly beginning to appear, and it smells good, and she feels like she is being dyed by him, and she gets excited…
“Ahh!”
“Why did you do that earlier? “Have you had the heat?”
Jun was startled by Fortuna’s sudden shouting and asked the reason.
But no answer came back.
Only shame and self-destruction came through the strings of her soul.
“Joy! “Why are you so surprised when a fairy is just a fairy?”
Donald, who was leaning against a tree with his arms crossed and showing all his form, said sarcastically.
Then Leon, who had been glancing in this direction while talking to the women, shook his head as if it wasn’t something to laugh at.
“You can’t be so recklessly optimistic. It could have been really hot.”
“We are the ones who played under the scorching sun. “That breast monster was under the shade with the priest.”
“Just because it’s under the shade doesn’t mean it’s not hot.”
“Well, my breasts are so big that it might be hot.”
“…”
Leon blushed and turned his head away, but did not refute Donald’s words.
It seemed like he thought there was no reason at all.
… Honestly, I thought Jun could do that too.
“Jun, you are so needlessly big for your fairy.”
“Fairy Blow!”
“Quek!”
Fortuna’s grape-sized fist was inserted into Donald’s stomach.
Her sudden surprise attack penetrated his hardening nature and dealt him a fatal blow.
The girls who were quietly watching the situation cheered at her performance.
“Hey, this chest monster!”
“It’s useless. I dare say it was useless. Tungtung, you died by my hands today!”
Donald and Fortuna, who were glaring at each other fiercely, soon rushed towards each other at the same time as if they had planned it.
As this happened often, Jun took his eyes off the two and enjoyed the sweet rest again.
However, the good feeling was soon gone by the killing intent that felt like it was piercing my skin.
‘You really need to do something.’
Jun turned his head in the direction where he felt murderous intent.
Then she made eye contact with Frank and the twins, who were glaring at her as if they were going to kill her.
After the fight in the vacant lot, the three showed the same murderous intent every time they saw Jun.
It was so severe that Leonard scolded them severely, but instead of killing them, the three only increased their murderous intent.
Because of that, Leonard also gave up on correcting the three and was currently neglecting them.
“Donald.”
“Why! Damn it, stop! “I’m calling you!”
Donald, who was being beaten by Fortuna, said that it was right when June called her, and she answered his call.
“Why do Frank and the twins hate me so much? “If it were simply because I was jealous of his abilities, I would hate Leon more than I do.”
To a third party, Jun’s abilities were poor abilities.
Even though he had the superpower of thought, it was not revealed on the outside, and his magic was only limited to space magic, non-attribute magic, and basic magic.
In comparison, Leon’s abilities were only ones that others could envy.
He possessed an Auror that explosively increased the performance of his body and tools, and a nullification superpower that only very few emperors and the Emperor of the Britia Empire, to which Primuni Village belonged, were born.
In the latter case, it is a secret that only Leon and Leonard know, but Jun discovered it by chance while training in space specialization.
In addition to this, he also seems to have the characteristics of an Auror, but even Jun doesn’t know about that yet.
In any case, if they were to be hostile because they were envious of the special ability, the three should have been more hostile towards Leon, who had good performance and good external recognition as an Auror, rather than Jun, who did not have a proper special ability.
Well, it could have been because Jun was more forgiving, but in Jun’s opinion, that didn’t seem to be the case.
“I envy your perseverance and mental strength.”
“… Really?”
Jun unconsciously asked back at the completely unexpected answer.
I thought I had unknowingly broken something precious to the three of us or something, but that’s all?
“It’s true. Those three envy your perseverance and mental strength more than anything else.”
“Why?”
Donald turned his head as if he didn’t want to answer June’s question.
When Fortuna raised her fist, she frowned and opened her mouth.
“They also know that special abilities are not easily given. That’s why I got trained and took that damn elixir.”
“It certainly has been like that. Although it was very short.”
“Okay. But you kept at it and eventually achieved physical abilities similar to that guy (Leon) and me. “Every time they saw you like that, they were jealous of you and ashamed of themselves.”
After listening to that point, Jun knew.
For those guys, you are the future they wanted the most.
