A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 77: Viewing - 1

The battlefield became silent after the strange sound came out, but before long everything went back as it should. Or that's what it looks like on the surface.

Facing the mad wailing Wess, Tenor chose to move away and gave the order, “Everything, come back! Back out of your positions!”

The confusing orders for most soldiers left them clueless as to how to react. However, it did not last long before they backed off like that order.

The shadow of the figure of Tenor who had been imprinted on the head played a big role in this. After all, he was a figure known to be fearless of enemies and rational. It was clear that his order this time had a special reason.

“What's the Captain,” ask one of the soldiers.

Choosing to be silent for a moment, Tenor finally replied. “We're backing down, for the full reason I'll let you know later. Now, bring the injured.”

“YA!” the soldiers replied in unison, although there might be some dissatisfied people. However, this is not a good time to argue.

Taking their wounded comrades into the ranks, Tenor and the other Reutania warriors retreated. Leaving the Night Eye and Ci teams in confusion.

However, these people did not realize that there was an eye in the shadow that saw all of it without any sign of care before it disappeared.

The cheers filled the ears, as Rion, Lily, and Yurei began to enter Sourt City.

The atmosphere in this city is crowded, so crowded that it makes people dizzy just by looking at it. This condition itself was even more severe for Rion who did not like the crowd, especially if it was for the affairs of the humans.

Looking at the face of Rion who was like he had been in a seven-day, seven-night fight, Lily chuckled. “Hey, how could the person who was going to fight Eugary Empire fall under this kind of state?”

Although what Lily said was real, but the people around them were too busy to care. Especially with the joking tone that Lily pinned.

“This city deserves the title of capital of Reutania on the Zestia Continent,” comments Rion on things that are not related to Lily's temptation.

Looking at Yurei who was completely unperturbed, Rion somehow felt a little left behind. “Lily, let's find lodging soon. We can look around the city tomorrow morning, now it's almost night.”

“It, right. Yurei, don't go too far. We'll find a place to stay first.”

That way, then a calm and soothing night they get after more than three weeks can not pass the night peacefully. This was especially true for Rion and Lily.

“Hah ... This is much better than the last one I felt,” After feeling more than enough to take off his mental fatigue, Rion glanced at Lily who was sitting holding Yurei as the little girl fell asleep and asked, “Lily, do you know when the ship carrying passengers to the Sylius Continent sailed?”

“I just heard there will be a temporary stop due to the war, and the closest one is still 4-7 days away.”

Rion nodded, secretly relieved that he had not experienced much delay in not finding the right direction before.

Seeing Rion's reaction, Lily smiled faintly. “Hee .. thank goodness yes Rion. Thank goodness.”

Heard the taunts (?) Lily, somehow Rion's face deteriorated. However, considering one thing he looked at Yurei and asked, “Lily, how exactly is the relationship between me and Yurei?”

“Dad and Child.”

“....”

“You know clearly that's not what I asked.”

“And you should know that what I said earlier is not a joke.”

“....”

Again, quiet.

In the face of Lily's common-sense statement, Rion had no idea what kind of reaction to take. After calming the confusion that continued to form in that short period of time, she looked at Lily as if asking for more explanation.

“Rion, do you remember that I once explained that Lily had become a Demon Beast?”

Nodding his head, Rion's eyes asked for more explanation. Meanwhile, Lily put on an awkward face, the thing she was going to say next might be too hard to accept.

“Actually, something had happened that made Yurei more like a baby than a Demon Beast, and that made her what she is now.”

With a hint of indecency trying to hide in the corner of her face, Lily opened her mouth again.

“Therefore to me the analogy of Father and Son in outline is quite precise.”

End the explanation somewhat hanging. Lily kept a secret that she also played ‘sikit’ the thing that played a role to be able to make Yurei end up in this condition. However, since it all ended well — in his own viewpoint for being able to enjoy Yurei's refreshing behavior— he felt it was no big deal.

“Either why do I feel that it is only because of your wishes alone,” comments Rion after remembering the proposal that Lily submitted earlier, to disguise as a family ....

Shaking his head to dispose of the thought, Rion started muttering something before getting out of bed. The mental exhaustion he had experienced was gone, and he knew that he had to get used to the human crowd.

After all, the number of people that were clustered in the Sylius Continent, their destination was definitely more than this place.

Even so, Rion was unable to turn his gaze away from the stunning scenery of Sourt City. Even at sunset the city is still very much alive.

With illumination magic shining down on every corner of the city as if to wipe out every dark corner, people pass by without worry. Perhaps this has something to do with the security of this city is none other than the number one within the Reutania Kingdom region of the Zestia Continent.

Comparing Dee City to Sourt City was definitely impossible, however in Dee City people still had high vigilance and curfews as the place was closer to the front line.

“People are complacent,” muttered Rion did not reproach anyone.

Even so, those words seemed to be directed at himself who was now aware of his limits after facing Yurei in his Phantom Wolf form.

Even Yurei's strength had clearly increased after becoming a Demon Beast, and Rion was even doubtful whether he could face the little girl in full-strength mode. Because with some restrictions from the [Covenant of the Seed] that Lily explained, there was no way she could feel the full power of Yurei right now.

With a one-time clap that made the sound clear in the ears, Rion said, “Then, we better rest immediately before studying this city tomorrow.”

Lily nodded, agreeing to Rion's proposal. Besides Yurei had fallen asleep first ....

After a brief exchange of words, they began to rest the tired body that had been forced to be dragged for quite some time. However, they cannot guess what will happen tomorrow.
