A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 65: On the Other Side - 3

In a different place, Ditch and Huge are meeting in private in a special room. With candles being the main source of light, this room feels a bit dim.

A thick stack of documents was located on the table, documents from the recent events left their hands full. Together with anti-tapping magic installed as a preventive measure of information leakage into the hands of third parties, it shows clearly that the content of this conversation is very confidential.

Even every document is never handled by a single individual except those in this room, Ditch and Huge.

“Huge, actually if without your report maybe we will face a troublesome person,” praise Ditch on the performance of Huge. However, his eyes and fingers remained unmoved from the pile of documents in front of him.

“Thank you Captain for his recognition,” Put the document in his hand, Huge asked, “So Captain. Are you already able to confirm that the Overflow mercenary group is a group of bandits? Or was the robbery just their personal initiative.”

Hearing this question, Ditch felt helpless. Resuscitating his body, he let out a long breath.

“Actually this is hard to believe, but .. when Pirlo who holds the position as vice-chairman in the group is already aware, he admits all the things they have been hiding all along. That they did have a side as bandits, not just in the Zestia Continent, but while in the Sylius Continent they were the same. Although I don't know why he can easily unpack this.”

Huge's eyes showed shock, this was indeed a bitter reality. “Next, what will you do in response to this case Captain?”

“Nothing in particular, but it looks like we'll be doing more rigorous surveillance on other mercenary groups. Although unlike all mercenary groups have Overflow properties, but at least this solution can calm all parties.”

“Yes, I thought it would be like that, but Captain. To the young man who meant the people themselves how? I don't think we can just forget this.”

“Entah Huge, we only get a rough idea about it, ranging from his physical features to say that he will look a little prominent because of his face. However, most of the things conveyed by them felt very excessive. I don't know what they saw until it ended like this, even Pirlo belongs to that absurd group. He even mentioned that the young man was the embodiment of the devil coming out of hell.”

Ditch stared at Huge, feeling that the burden Huge received on the mission this time was greater than he thought. Thinking about their contribution level in this regard, it seemed like they deserved some small reward.

“Huge, you will return to the Sylius Continent in two months right?” Seeing that Huge nodded, Ditch continued. “Then I will hasten your return, not only you but your entire team will return to the capital. I think with the talent in your team, you better come back.”

“But captain, the situation here itself is quite runyam. I feel uncomfortable leaving this place at times like now.”

“For war matters don't worry, we won't do war anytime soon, maybe 2-3 months ahead. The higher-ups had decided to wait for a solid army before launching an attack. In addition, the spies from Beatria Union themselves reported that they would not start a war, moreover they also faced the Eugary Empire and Marina Kingdom, they were not that fit to face us.”

“Good Captain,” said Huge with a heavy heart. Moreover, the shadow of the person he thought to be the old man began to present, perhaps this was a good time to meet him.

Leaving the room, Huge entered the room that became the headquarters of his small team. Ernest was sitting with Tue drinking the tea in front of him quietly. Dany, Kent, and Rico stood by the entrance and had a little chat. Perhaps look forward to further orders being given to them.

Looking at Huge who has returned, Dany asks, “So, what are we going to do next? Team captain ...!”

Huge sighed, seeing that Dany still seemed to have not calmed down from not being able to vent her anger on the remaining members of the Overflow group.

“Actually we will return to the Sylius Continent, and we will probably receive a new task once we get there. Does anyone want to do anything before we leave here?”

“No.” Reply to Dany before leaving the room.

“Which else? What do you want to do?”

“I want a full break, while on the way surely our stamina will be drained,” After Rico said this, Kent and Tue also left with a similar tone.

“So, what are you going to do Ernest?”

“Didn't he tell Captain Ditch?”

“No. I have my own reasons for meeting him, and of course not to act stupid.”

What the hell is going on? Who is that young man really? Why did that young man obliterate Overflow? What if it was the incident of that young man and the incident that happened to him were related? However, what if ...

It was things that kept spinning in Ernest's head, and he wanted to make sure of all that by himself.

“Hah .. do you think too much of Ernest?” Seeing that Ernest was still silent on his question, Huge chose to sit down first before answering the question, “Do you still think about it?.”

Nodding weakly, Ernest replied softly, “Ya ... it still bothers me.”

“I know what you want to say,” Precede Ernest who wants to open his mouth, Huge said, “What is all that related, right? But for now look around you, you are not alone. When you trouble me, no, we'll help you.”

Ernest lowered his head, he replied weakly, “Alright ..”

Huge patted Ernest's back slowly, “From now on don't ever hold anything alone again. You have to promise me, as the captain of this team, I will help.”

A smile was on Ernest's face. “Alright Huge, no, Captain.”

“Then, I will report the request first.”

***

No need to wait long, Huge's request was approved. In an isolation room, Pirlo, the vice-chairman of a group called Overflow that had been destroyed was sitting on a chair reserved for him. With his arms and legs held back, he stared at the door in front of him that was immediately open.

Three people walked in, revealing the figures of Ditch, Ernest, and Huge after they were close enough to the light source.

Pirlo looked up, he showed a slight smile, as if knowing what they meant and purpose in coming here. “If you guys want to ask .. then I've said everything I know. That person is a demon from the devil.”

“Is it true like that?” rebut Ernest, “If he's a demon from the devil then what are you?!”

“....”

Pirlo was silent, he did not feel the need to respond to those words.

Adjusting his breathing, Ernest tried to calm his emotions. The goal here is not to be a vigilante, looking at Pirlo sharply there is one thing he wants to make sure.

If it was answered, perhaps the puzzle in his head would be solved immediately. “I just want to ask, do you guys actually know who the person who destroyed your group is not?”

“Hahaha. Yep! We know that he is not human! Even his appearance was not at all what a human could have, he was a demon! It was obvious that he was a demon with a mask that like can steal people's souls. You satisfied?!”

However, only crazy answers keep coming out no matter how many times the question is asked.
