A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 85: The Beginning of the Network - 4

In a public inn in the city of Sourt. A family (?) being in a room, even so the atmosphere hanging in the air felt strange. Perhaps it was because they were not an actual family, a family guise just for disguise purposes.

However, that was not what made this strange atmosphere hang. Lily who had managed to make Yurei fall asleep calmly glanced at Rion, before pulling back her eyes from the haired young man who had been continuously at the window. Maybe checking things out because you're worried about something.

“Are you worried about the possibility that Reutania Kingdom will meet us?” ask Lily suddenly.

With Rion's nature, Lily was convinced that the young man was worried about this. Especially with their unexpected meeting with the team from Beatria Union —Night Eye— which turned out to be in third-party supervision.

“You should understand the problem I'm worried about, right?”

“I don't think you should worry about that Rion. Although Reutania Kingdom was the most likely party to be a third party at the time, but it did not necessarily make other possibilities tightly closed.”

“Although what you said was true, but the reaction shown by the Beast-kin was too strong.”

“Rion,” call Lily who makes Rion's eyes finally turn to her. “Isn't that the problem?”

“Hmm? What do you mean Lily?”

Leaving the bed. Lily walked slowly closer to Rion and leaned right on the opposite side of the young man.

“Didn't you feel that it was emotions that made them instantly show that reaction? Although the possibility that this is true must be admitted high because we are also in the Reutania region, but this is also a sword said two that can make our eyes closed over other possibilities.”

“So you feel it might be the other side?”

“I'm not sure. After all, even if they were not third parties back then, Reutania would definitely not remain silent. The reaction explained that the two sides had met before.” Turning his gaze to Sourt City, Lily muttered, “Yes, even though Reutania acted as well it definitely won't be on a large scale.”

With Sourt City being on par with the capital of the Reutania Kingdom in the Zestia Continent, Lily believed this was enough to be a huge wall that prevented Reutania from acting all in all. After all, they must maintain public security in order to attract traders.

If not, then it is likely that the traders will run to two large ports belonging to other countries. It is clear that this situation will not benefit Reutania and will not be allowed to happen. Even if they were going to act, Reutania definitely had many factors that had to be carefully prepared.

After getting to this point, Rion nodded deeply and he began to put those worries behind him. Shifting his eyes, his eyes were caught by Lily. Making his mind sink into a sea of a thousand meanings.

Lily continued to look at Sourt City, maybe she was unaware of Rion's gaze and continued to pay attention to every movement that occurred in every corner of the city. Some memories might flash across his eyes, making the eyes themselves a little melancholic.

Correcting the emotions in her heart, Lily turned her gaze only to realize Rion's gaze at her. “What do you see Rion?”

“No.” Pulling himself up, Rion walked to the bed. Perhaps trying to save as much energy as possible before leaving for the Sylius Continent. After all, once he got there, a mountain of work had to start him running.

Lily shook her head before returning to Yurei's side, they passed this day safely despite getting some shockank ‘small’.

Using a typical waiter suit, the figure that had been in this room had finally opened his eyes. He was But, the official servant and bodyguard of the Jones Emanuelle noble family, more precisely he had occupied that position for more than a few generations.

With a heavy, hoarse voice, he said, “Oh, you're back. How did the meeting take place?”

Although it was a question, but there was not the slightest tone of asking at But's words. It was as if he had clearly known the outcome.

“Looks like I don't need to tell you, does Old Man?” the person replied with a hint of sarcasm, completely fearless even though the other party's strength clearly far surpassed it.

In black clothes from head to toe, the person walked slowly before taking one seat. He was a figure who attacked the Night Eye team single-handedly, even so the strength he had displayed during the previous battle was completely invisible in front of But.

As if having some strong problems, he asked, “Old Sister, what exactly do you want from this situation?”

“Nothing, just test some roots and find out which one is more alot,” replied But ambiguous. Absolutely incomprehensible to anyone other than himself, or perhaps it was his intention to not let anyone understand his point.

“You really put myself into the difficult corner of Old Man. You didn't even give an explanation that could make you sure of this action.”

“But you have no other choice, right?”

“....”

The man was silent, not answering But's question. He preferred to turn his gaze to the gloomy wall beside him.

But turned his lips together to form a grin, although the person in front of him often behaved inappropriately. However, he can tolerate it, however, by the length of his life the person's behavior can be a bit of entertainment amid the many fears that others feel for him.

“Ahh .. true as well, do you have more information for us? Whatever it is allowed.”

“There are not many things, other than the condition of the Night Eye team from Beatria Union which is getting worse ..”.

However, the words did not continue and just hung in the middle. Even But who had a series of salty and sweet experiences the world could not resist his curiosity, and for the first time, his tone changed.

“You better say whatever you know now Nak.” The tone was cold, the warmth contained in But's previous words completely disappeared. Making the impression that warmth is just a falsehood.

A cold sweat ran down the cover of the man's face, he knew very well that if But wanted to pulverize it then it didn't need any more energy. It might just be like the one who killed the ant, if even two wished that he would become a bigger ant.

Even so, he knew it wouldn't be possible for But to expend a little more energy for him with his current level of strength. Without there being many paths he could choose, the person sighed softly.

“... It looks like that team already has information about their target, and that person is the same person you are looking for. However, I did not get any information about it,” he continued completing the report (?).
