A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 42: The City of Dee

With light steps Rion and Lily started to enter Dee city. The city's own guard wasn't too strict on the entrance examination because of Rion and Lily's human-like appearance. In addition, it might be due to undetected disguise magic, or because the guards were enchanted by Lily.

Whatever it was, the two of them were able to enter this city easily without getting any meaningful obstacles at the entrance gate.

The atmosphere in the city of Dee does not seem too crowded, except the business area is filled with cries of traders peddling goods and services.

Although Rion did not know how the atmosphere of this city was in general, but he found that this was not a common situation.

According to the conversations of others he had heard, this was because the residents living in the city of Dee had been informed of the war plans that the Reutania Kingdom had announced. After the announcement was made, the townspeople began to leave Dee City.

Most likely, all of this was because the story of the City of Maves being swallowed into a death zone was still fresh in the memories of the people, enough to attach fear to the hearts of the townspeople.

However, the announcement attracted traders to get more gold. For reasons of reduced supply, goods are difficult to obtain in this kind of time, or other such reasons. Because all of that can make the price go up as much as possible, making this city not too quiet with their presence.

The people who lived alone were dominated by mercenaries and military soldiers. Thus making the demand for goods not much reduced, even increasing the quantity.

Ignoring all that, Rion chose to meet his needs first. "We'll find an inn that's still open."

"Yes, it's better that way" nods Lily.

Setting a goal, the two of them began to walk back in search of an inn that was still open. Along the way many people were flabbergasted to even give a look with ill intentions at the moment of seeing Lily's figure beside Rion.

Seeing this Rion sighed in his heart, according to him this was indeed unavoidable. Even her self, who was used to Seriana, who was famous for her beauty, was empty for a moment when she saw Lily for the first time.

Entering the inn Rion looked around, there were some people with gahar bodies sitting on the ground floor which also functioned as restaurants and bars. Observing for a moment he argued that most likely they were mercenaries.

Some commotion broke out at the people here upon seeing Lily, some whispering to each other with the person sitting with them then laughing. Not a few perverted views were directed, causing noise to fill the room.

A young man of atelic stature walked up to Lily, the face of the young man himself was quite handsome. Silencing his chest, the young man looked confident at his charming appearance, seeing this several people whistling at the upcoming show.

"May I know who this beautiful Miss is?"

"...," Lily glanced over, not responding to the young man.

Seeing Lily's behavior, the corner of the young man's mouth twitched slightly. "Gorgeous lady, don't shut up."

Lily did not respond back, choosing to ignore her whereabouts, she ran over after Rion who had been in front. Leaving his place that had been held back by the behavior of the previous youth.

A vein line appeared on the forehead of the young man, he felt himself insulted by the girl in front of him. With his standing, he would never be ignored like that. "You're here or I'll force you!"

Buk up!

A blow was struck at Lily from behind. However, Rion's hand immediately caught the blow easily.

The look on the young man's face worsened, seeing his partner who had been watching him yell, "Hoi! You help too! If we can, we can share it!"

"Yes, if you want anything to do. Don't spit on yourself later David."

"Yes!"

Rion looked at the group of people who approached, a total of eight people if David —pemuda it— also counted.

"Beautiful, you won't be able to run away from now on" said David holding an arrogant hand, accompanied by a mocking smile that formed on his lips.

Seeing David's behavior, Rion shook his head.

'These people don't know what exactly he's knocking.'

A large, burly body advanced, making a powerful blow towards Rion, the blow was again held back easily.

Cretek!

A crisp sound rang out from the person's fist, making the person clench his teeth. Trying to resist the moans that wanted to come out of his mouth while enduring this pain.

With a light sweep, the person was thrown out of the building, fell hard to make a sound and used on the road in the form of small stones arranged to avoid the risk of slipping during the rain.

Seeing this, David yelled, "Hit him together!"

With his shout, David started to give a punch to Rion. Followed by the person standing with him, suddenly making damage to the tables and chairs around them, unable to resist the explosion of which came from the bodies of these people.

Punch after punch was cast, but it did not make Rion desperate or injured. With their current place it would be impossible to unleash any battle techniques or would cause the city's security to come.

Starting to catch the blows of each person, Rion began to throw them one by one out of the inn until it became a pile in front of this inn.

Everyone was now focused on looking at Rion, not daring to give a glance or anything. Moreover, their perverted intentions on the beautiful figure beside him who was now trying to hold them back.

People sitting not far from the scene were now gulping, not expecting the person they had ignored to be of great ability. The people that Rion threw just now were one of the direct subordinates of the vice chairman of Overflow —Gadi— who had strength at the level of gold level 1-3.

Rion ignored the gaze in whatever form it was directed at him. He prefers to walk to the reception desk not far from where he stands.

"We'll book a room" Rion said calmly.

"A-ah .. i-iya ... momentarily," said the receptionist as he rose from his protective position, not raising the previous commotion quickly.

"Want to rent how many rooms? How long will it stay?" the receptionist asked to keep her calm.

"Two rooms with—"

However, Lily immediately cut off Rion's words. "One room with one bed, for his time ...," After thinking for a moment he said, "About the next two weeks."

Rion looked at Lily who was doing her mischievous act again, but facing her gaze Lily only gave a small smile. Sighing, he succumbed to this girl's will, at least for now.

"You'll pay up front, so what's the total cost?"

"In the meantime, a total of 1 piece of gold and 42 pieces of silver, this price includes breakfast and dinner."

Rion took out two gold coins, this coin himself he took from several warehouses in the death zone. Although the place itself is quite strange according to him, although there are no living things but all the buildings and objects in it remain intact, only the northern and western parts of the city that suffered damage to the building.

"Yes, this is your change, sir. For the food to be served on the ground floor, so sir has to go downstairs."

Rion nodded, received a key from the receptionist and started walking towards the room addressed to her.

After entering the room, Rion chose to sit on a chair while Lily herself had laid her body on the bed. This room itself is quite spacious, the decoration itself can be said to be quite simple but gives its own impression.

Glancing at Lily, Rion asked her the thing that was bothering her. "Why did you ask for a room?"

"Reduce suspicion," Lily answered briefly.

"Then I'll leave this city after a day's stay, because you want to stay then—"

Rion's mouth was covered by Lily's hand that was hugging her from behind. Closer to her ear, Lily whispered, "You'll stay."

"Why should?"

Lily pulls Rion, making her fall into her arms. Hugging tightly Rion his eyes turned to look deep inside the young man.

"Rion, it's because ...," Closer to herself again, Lily whispered, "... You'll stay with me"
