A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 81: Viewing - 5

‘What do they actually incar?’ This was the big question that floated above Rion's head. Looking back on his tracks, he felt he had never had a chance to cross paths with Beatria Union. But now they are looking for him first?

On this basis alone it was common for Rion to be interested in their goals. With this mask named Lion, he felt the need to test the water. Moreover, these two people seemed to still have some doubts.

Although he had roughly guessed that their goal was to look for him, Rion once again asked, “What is your goal?”

This reaction was clearly not expected by Xion and Yuzu. Glancing at this captain, Yuzu's eyes revealed anxiety.

However, Xion's actions were precisely the opposite. Calming the concussion in his heart, he was firm. “That's something I can't reveal unless your identity is known for sure.”

Hearing this, Rion's eyes only continued to stare at the two Beasts. Although they tried to be strong, especially Xion. He could clearly feel the agitation, their strong attitude was clearly without any solid foundation.

As if unable to bear the situation, Xion first broke the silence. “Who are you?”

Even so, Rion's gaze was like nothing before. Just staring without a care, but now the eyes were slightly moving before returning as usual.

“Ohh .. I'm Lion.” And just like that, Rion introduced himself according to the name of the identity he was wearing.

“So that's your name ..” muttered Xion while showing an unexpected reaction. With resolute eyes, he looked at Rion sharply. “that's you aren't?”

Seeing that Rion, even Yuzu showed her confusion. Xion reaffirmed his point. “People who at that time were in Fort Arcchild. That's you, isn't it?”

“....”

Rion silent. His conjecture about the party's purpose was not at all wrong. However, the confidence contained in Xion's words just now made him speechless.

‘Where can he be so sure?’ Yes, this is an unanswered question mark. Even with a familiar distinctive scent trail, it was not impossible for one to imitate the property of another.

Although he did not use this because of the main target he was aiming for, Eugary Empire. The humans did not have much advantage in this field despite having been helped with some related magic.

“Iya,” replied Rion briefly which made Xion's eyes show some pent-up things. But that's only half of it. “Or that's what I'll answer.”

Correcting his attitude once again, Rion's eyes slightly lifted. “You can think as you please. Either the person in the Arcchild Fortress is me or not. However, at least state your goal clearly now or this will be an opening.”

“Why? I'll state it here. Me, we have no intention of using violence in this mission.” This is not a lie used to convince Rion, this is Xion's honest thinking.

Although previously he was doubtful whether to face Lion —Rion— as an enemy or a friend, now it does not happen again. After losing Dian, she realized that not using violence was the best. Moreover, with the achievements in smoothing Overflow, the other party's strength must have been far above Tenor's.

“Then, why are you still hiding some more people?” Saying so, Rion's eyes that had been continuously paying attention to one corner now looked sharply at that corner. It was as if trying to force anyone who was there to come out.

However, Xion and Yuzu were also the same, not much more surprised because of this statement. The powerful attitude they had been carrying out all this time was instantly shattered, turning into extreme confusion and horror.

‘Have we been tailed since the beginning?! No. gabe. Before it by whom?!’ Recalling the things they had to go through up to this point, both were convinced. ‘REUTANIA KINGDOM ..!’

With their obvious reaction of confusion unfolded, the cold gaze that Rion was aiming for was becoming more and more extreme. If it was the Beatria Union or some party from the original country of the Zestia Continent he wouldn't be like this.

However, seeing that there was a sense of hostility shown by the two Beast-kin. Rion felt reassured that this was not part of them.

Lily showed a similar reaction. At first he thought that the two Beast-kin in front of him were acting as representatives. However, the fact that now shows that this is not part of them makes him prepare far for all the possibilities that open up.

“Magic: Ice Lance.” Lily's magic showed quickly. An ice spear materialized immediately with a quick report — which actually does not need for him to do that— finished chanted.

Passing through all the events that occurred no deeper than these two seconds, neither Xion nor Yuzu were able to recover. Even while they were still turning their bodies, everything was done.

“Like it's not from your side,” muttered Lily. “Is that Eugary Empire? Or Reutania Kingdom?”

Seeing the small change in the look in the eyes of the two, Lily nodded. “So most likely they are Reutania right?”

There was no doubt in Lily's words even though her tone seemed to ask. In one glance, at a glance he had seen everything and knew that this conclusion was the right one.

“Rion. It seems you don't have to hide your identity anymore. The remark that they do not want to use violence is most likely honest.”

“I think you're right.” Taking a deep breath, Rion said, “Once again I will answer. The person you met at Arcchild Fortress was me, and I guess you were the Beast-kin who was on a mission back then.”

Recovering from his confusion Xion immediately nodded as soon as Rion confirmed his conjecture. However, it was the anxiety that now controlled his heart.

“Although I have said many times before but ... what is your purpose in looking for me?”

Yuzu nodded, agreeing to whatever Xion would do next. Now they have other things to think about and take care of.

“Then sorry for being disrespectful before Lion—“

“Rion.”

“Ha?” said Xion stupid.

“My name is Rion, Lion it's just a temporary identity that I use.”

Nodding lightly, Xion continued his words. “Live on, actually we are on a mission to collect data about you.”

“And the fact that you met the target directly is a stupid act,” comments Lily.

“Ya .. I think it's true,” Yuzu said.

Ignoring the voices of the two, Xion continued to say, “We are the Night Eye team and I am Xion. As I said earlier we are on a mission to investigate information about you, but actually we only need one certainty.”

Summing up the details of the previous mission, Xion finally said, “What's your goal? And will you harm Beatria Union?”

“Ohh .. if that problem you don't have to worry, my goal is now in the Sylius Continent and I will leave the Zestia Continent immediately, ” Rion replied slightly ambiguously, not stating it clearly. As for the second thing ... I can't confirm it,”.

“Please explain what you mean?”

“If you don't bother me then I won't bother you either. However, if you bother me then the chances of me bothering you guys will also be huge. In other words, the chances for that condition to actually happen are still very wide open.”

Xion nodded deeply, he felt that Lion, Rion in front of him was honest regarding this matter. “Then, we will try not to disturb you.”

Reversing his body, Xion recalled something. “May I know if previously there really was anyone else besides us?”

“That's the truth. Besides, there is no advantage for me to cheat you.”

“Thank you,” said Xion before returning in the dark shadows of the city. He and Yuzu now have a problem that is causing headaches again.
