A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 49: Standby - 4

Ditch's office is now being hit by a gloomy atmosphere, there is no light of happiness that can be felt by the people who inhabit this room. Only a gripping, heavy pressing aura was felt. Similarly, the look on Ditch's face that does not show anything good, after sighing slowly he put down a report document from the course of the mission squad one that ended up failing.

“So so ...,” murmured Ditch slowly. Looking at his assistant who was standing right on the right, he gave directions. “Leave him alone for now.”

Ditch's assistant nodded, but he was still beside Ditch because he felt there was something else the guard captain wanted to convey. Maybe it has to do with her intuition as a woman.

Ditch looked out the window and did not immediately tell his assistant to carry out his duties, but he was now the one who fell into deep contemplation. This incident was not entirely the fault of Dany or a squad of one, but he also took part because he had miscalculated the strength of the bandits.

After a long silence, Ditch finally said the thing that had been at the end of his tongue. “Please also call Huge, there are things I want to discuss with him in four eyes.”

A small smile formed on the face of Ditch's assistant as she replied, “Yes Sir!”

***

Lily was in the room that Rion rented at the inn, neither herself nor Rion would often leave the inn if there was nothing really necessary.

Lying in bed alone, she finally heard a voice, “Lily, the plan you once said has it been done?”

“Hoo ... so finally you are curious Rion?” asked Lily who immediately got up from her position, approaching towards Rion.

“To be curious or not I will be honest, I am curious, but that is not the reason why I ask. You're always in the room and don't do anything so that's what makes me ask you,” Shift his eyes, Rion muttered, “I want this to end soon and continue on the journey.”

Lily who seemed disappointed that Rion was not too interested in the thing he was working on again dropped into the mattress and cotton pillows. In a lazy tone he replied, “My plan is going smoothly, and so far it is still according to plan. Just wait and see in the next few days there will be interesting news heard.”

Rion glanced at Lily for a moment, leaning her body against the chair she chose to close her eyes again. He was sure of his feelings saying whatever Lily meant would be a really big thing, not just a word ‘pull’ was enough to describe it for most people.

“Why are you silent now?” lily asked after a long silence.

“....”

Lily pouted, Rion again acted indifferent to her. “Hei Rion ...”

“What's up?” rion answered with his eyes still closed.

“I want to ask you something quite sensitive.”

Hearing this Rion opened her eyes, she glanced at Lily looking forward to what she wanted to ask until asking ‘izin’ like that. Although Lily said that this was a sensitive matter, neatly she was still indifferent. In any case, Lily often says directly what she thinks even when the word ‘sensitive’ may have been embedded for most people.

“No!” rion replied quickly, for him this did not bother his heart too much. Staring at Lily closely, she asked back, “Why are you asking something like this all of a sudden?”

“No special reason, I'm just curious. In addition ...,” However, Lily shook her head not continuing her words. “No, it's okay.”

‘I sometimes can't feel your presence and feel something foreign,’ That's what Lily wanted to say but she chose to swallow her words again. I don't know why he didn't reveal this and chose to keep it to himself.

Whatever the cause of all that, according to Lily it might not be a good thing for Rion to know about it now.

Because what Lily sometimes feels from the aura of ‘napas’ that Rion emits is a presence that should not exist in this world. He was sure that whatever it came from, it was really an alien thing and also a thing that really did not come from this world.

Switching the conversation, Lily brought up the old topic again. “In addition, I have important things I want to say. Would you like to come along to see the beginning of all the exciting things that will happen?”

“No.”

Even that answer had come out without Rion thinking any further, as if it had been automatically set to come out of his mouth.

However, giving up soon is not Lily's style. Did he even give up on persuading Rion to join the ‘training’ he designed even if it took a while?

“Hei .. come on, I'll die of boredom if I keep playing by myself.”

However, the same answer was again voiced by Rion. “No.”

Without waiting for Rion again, Lily got up. Taking Rion's one hand, he began to forcibly drag the young man to follow him.

After Rion pondered back on his thoughts for a long time, he nodded his head weakly. If it continued like this perhaps this situation would soon become worse than what he could have imagined

“All right, all right, I'll come.”

In addition, Rion also felt a little bored lately, and it was not a bad thing to look for a fresh breeze.

‘Again there is no important thing in the reply plan that I have specifically to be done immediately. I think I can accompany Lily during this time for a while,’ thought Rion in her heart who was rationalizing this action.

With light steps a girl with silver hair color and a black haired youth who was dragged behind her stepped outside of the inn, starting down the Dee City together.
