Not a Stranger

Tonight, according to the promise. Reine went with Robin. Actually, Reine felt like she didn't want to go out. However, he did not want to disappoint Robin.

Robin found a shop away from the crowds in the city center. Just by relying on the light from the small lights, the tavern felt mysterious and full of beauty. Not to mention, its location is not far from the hill with flowers.

“You daydream again, Rein. Still think about that?” robin said Reine's daydream was fully conscious. “No. I'm doing fine. The view here, it's great. I arrived, can not switch” respond Reine immediately divert. “Hm, correct. I brought you here on purpose. Oh yeah, after this, there's another place I have to show you. You want to come?” bargain Robin. Reine seemed to agree. Both of them enjoyed their own food.

Robin is a really good encouragement. He tried his best to make Reine forget about the problem. The place he showed Reine, some kind of roof in the tallest building in the city center. On the roof, many people come just to enjoy the night view.

There is also, a sweet couple that marks each other's name on a roof wall. The wall, as it was used for writing. Especially for young couples today. It feels more trendy.

Maybe because of that, the place was very dense. The roof can accommodate a lot of people who come. Although crowded, the roof still exudes its beauty.

“Hh, even though I was the one who first found this place” Robin chirped when he saw the view of the sky near the roof guardrail. “You?” reine asked in disbelief. “You also doubt me. Hh, I am very disappointed..” Robin replied rather annoyed. Reine can't answer anything. He tried to comfort Robin by looking for something.

However, Reine instead found something foreign to him. Reine just realized. Apparently, visitors who enter this area, appear to wear a bracelet in each hand. When looking at Robin's hand and hand, there was no bracelet there.

“It seems, something is wrong. Don't-don't... This place is not free of cost, as you said?” reine said suddenly. “Yah, of course. This place, charged a small fee for its treatment. The bracelet, is a sign if you have helped maintain the cleanliness of this place”

“Then, why don't we wear it?”

“For what?”

“Of course, to come help keep this roof!”

“Oh, no need”

“Why not? I'm also a visitor to this roof, just like everyone else. Regardless I am the devil or not”

“Not that problem. You don't have to, because I own this place. So, no problem” said Robin with his leisure. “What? Wait, huh?!” reine was shocked and shocked as well. Robin just nodded slowly, to respond. “So, enjoy..” he said later.

Reine smiled faintly. “Then I was in Underwall, I always got lucky. Thank you..” reply Reine. “You do deserve it, Rein” said Robin sincerely. “Layak, yes..” said Reine slowly.

Reine looked up at the sky. He recalled his conversation with Max this afternoon. A conversation that made him think twice.

~~

“In addition to being reckless, you are also too careless. I don't know what to do with your nature, Honey” said someone. Reine hurriedly turned around and found Max had caught him. “Max, apparently..” respond Reine. “Why? Expecting the others?” guess Max.

Reine immediately got up from Max's embrace. “Not also” replied. “Your face looks disappointed. Naturally, if today's meeting was a bit annoying. So, what did Marc tell you?” ask Max directly to the point. “It seems, I was the one he suspected as the cause of all the mess that happened in Underwall” Reine said.

“If you already knew it was going to happen, why even take me in?”

“Because...no other options?”

“One-time fool. Don't care about me, give me a place and even, train me to be more sensitive to the power that is in myself”

“Can't, we have to do all the things you mentioned earlier”

“Why? To be blamed?”

“Your fault is only one”

“What?!” pekik Reine was getting upset. “People who make a mess in the Underwall? Even you, also suspect me?!” he continued to get angry. “Your fault, because it always worries us. You're too brave for us, can't handle your steps. Please, don't shock us anymore, Honey. Sometimes, we are not ready” said Max looked calm.

Reine frowned. “If you're forever expecting this Miss Dallaire, who can't do anything when the devil attacks, sorry, it'll never come true. You know, while I've been here I've never stopped being grateful. Wh why? Because I feel safe. The power that you wanted to bring out, finally managed to keep me protected. I don't have to be as hard as before. You can feel, how does it feel to be marked by the devil? Just because you have other powers? I am just an ordinary human being. With this power, I can not only protect myself, but others as well. So, stop protecting me and just fight together” Reine said earnestly. Max seemed to be smiling after hearing Reine's words.

“Alright, we will do it. From now on, we won't worry about you anymore. If anything happens, we'll just keep an eye on you. I'll make sure it happens to all of us, so you can see how strong you really are. Hows it? Knock, you want?” hail Max while shortening. Without a second thought, Reine immediately agreed. He looked at Max with a serious look.

If they can let me go that way, it means they won't follow me wherever I go. Unfortunately, I was also curious as to who caused all the events that happened to Underwall. With a high level of security, it would be impossible for Underwall to be in a dilapidated state. Sure, there are insiders who interfere. I cannot suspect any of them, for I myself am also under suspicion. So, I'll find out right now. Robin said there's a meeting tonight. Perhaps, I can sneak in to observe something, Reine thought full of plans.

That night, after returning home from the roof of the building with Robin, Reine first entered his room. After a few hours passed, Reine came back out of the room without a sound and as natural as possible.

Normally, if he was being watched, he would find several guards on every corner of the road leading to his room. This time, nothing. However, Reine remained vigilant with a few cameras that could make him miss the opportunity to observe something.

I suspect one thing. Back aisle. There, Marc once said, the hallway is a transit point between human hotels to the Underwall Hotel. Although Marc said, it would not be possible to be penetrated by a demon who had bad intentions, because of the presence of a shield like a filter. But I, still doubt it. Who knows, there's something else that could mess with that shield, Inner Reine.

Reine stepped up, half-sniffed and tried to calm down. He was already in the hallway, at this moment. When she was close to the shield, Reine suddenly had to hide from it.

The shield looks shining. A sign that someone will come in. Normal people say, it's probably just a demon. However, Reine's eyes discovered something abnormal.

Reine's eyes widened in surprise. While trying to keep her mouth shut tightly, so as not to make a sound, Reine remained focused on the shield. Until someone appears to emerge from the shield that was, transparent. The guy Reine knew.

Shortly after, another person appeared from behind the shield which began to return to its original color, transparent. Reine looked at the person who came from the shield, seemingly conversing with others who were behind the shield. They looked familiar, despite throwing sharp glances at each other. But between those two people, Reine knew them all.

“Luc? And... The Lady... Him?!”
