The Hidden Existence

Lodging

It was not long before they finally found a suitable inn.

"Alright, because you six are going to sleep here. Because the room has 3 mattresses, so you have to sleep together on the mattress" said Aris

"Where are you sleeping?" Ask Yuni

"I'll sleep in the next room" replied Aris

"Will Angelia's sister and sister sleep together?" Ask Yuli

"Of course not, if big brother does that then big brother will be hit, right?" Ask Aris

"Sister Angelia is fierce, huh?" Ask Yuni

"Actually he's not fierce, he only cares about others. That's why you don't hate him, yeah" said Aris

"Yes" Yuni said smilingly

"Alright, because we've got a place to rest. Let's go back to the arena to meet Angelia's sister" Aris said

"Good" they said simultaneously

When they reach the arena, they meet Nadia and Miftah. Seeing Aris with the human half-animal, they immediately approached him.

"Where did you get this half-human animal?" Ask Nadia

The girls were frightened and hid behind Aris.

"Calm down, they're good, really. These are the girls I saved. They are the knights who guard this kingdom" said Aris

"Isn't the human race half-animal extinct, huh?" Ask Miftah

"That's not true!" Melani said firmly

"What?" Nadia asked confusedly

"It is precisely you who have made our race extinct!" Melani was angry

"Eh? Why?" Ask Miftah still doesn't understand

"Because of you the knights who attacked our village and kidnapped children and women to sell to the nobility" Melani replied

"really? I thought it was because of the fire" Miftah said

"The fire? If it were a fire then the rest of our race wouldn't be just this way. I remember the screams of my friends and their mothers, and their fathers fighting for their survival. But they were all dead and I was among the many survivors" Melani said in tears

"It looks like I have to talk to the king about this case" Miftah said

"That's it, what happens let it happen. But if I find one of the culprits. I promise, I will kill him" Melani said angrily as she wiped her tears

"Keep what should we do?" Nadia asked to Aris

"Are you sure you don't want justice in this kingdom?" Aris asked towards Melani

"Why.." Melani

"If you want, then I will help you so that you can get your place back" said Aris

"really?" Ask Melani

"I don't think we can go back, I'd rather go with Aris" Riana said

"Riana..?" Tanya Aris had a small voice

"But, why?" Ask Melani

"Because it looks like it would be safe to be with him, if we go back and they attack again we can't hide anymore" Riana replied

"Maybe you have a point. Alright brother Aris I'll come with you. Do you want to too?" Ask Melani

"Yes, how else, right" said Yuni

"Sir Aris, please help" said Yuli

"Sister Aris has promised to protect me and my friends?" Ask Septi

"Yes, of course. Brother will protect you and your friends" said Aris approached Septi and rubbed his head

"Sorry to trouble you. But you know what they say?" Ask Aris

"Well, how else. Lami will let them be with you. But if you dare mess with these kids. I guarantee you won't be able to see the sun again" Miftah said

"It looks like you guys are very familiar" Nadia said with a laugh

"That's not true!" Said the two of them

The girls laughed too. It was not long before they finally met Angelia and Tasya.

"Aris!" angelia shouted her name

"Ah. you have arrived. So, how's the walk?" Ask Aris

"Very fun. It turned out that Angelia's sister was very good" Tasya replied

"Thank God" said Aris

"So, why did you get to see her again?" Ask Angelia

"It's just a coincidence" Aris said

"If you mess with these kids. I promise to destroy you" said Angelia intimidatingly

"Oh. If you're the one messing with these kids. Then you won't be able to go home today" Nadia said

"You see, I promise never to slow down" replied Nadia

"You guys.." Aris

It wasn't long before Tasya pulled Aris's shirt.

"What's up, Tasya's deck?" Ask Aris

"Son, I'm tired, I want to rest" Tasya replied

"That's it, then how about we go to the inn?" Ask Aris

"Okay, sister" said Tasya

"A really cute shit" said Aris in his heart

"Sister Angelia, when are you going to be there? Come on, let's go to the inn" said Melani

"Alright, today you're released. If it wasn't for that I would have defeated you" Angelia said

"Well, we'll prove it ourselves in the arena. So, never lose to anyone" said Nadia

"Agreed!" Said Angelia shaking hands

It was not long before they all arrived at the inn.

"Ah, welcome. Aris" said Nia

"Yes, thank you" said Aris

"Aris, who is he?" Angelia whispered her ear

"He was my friend when I was on a mission trip to the village of Afharza. She is Nia" answered Aris

"Then greetings know. My name is Angelia Frasiska" said Angelia

"I'm Nia. You must be his friend? He told me a lot. Aris and I were friends with him when a thief came to our store. And now I will reply to him" said Nia

"It turns out he's really a land crocodile. So, where's the room? Ask Angelia

"Ah, above. 1 room contains 3 mattresses for these children and your room next to it" said Nia

"I'm alone? What about Aris?" Ask Angelia

"He will be with me in my room" answered Nia

"Huh? Th-that's unacceptable! I'll never let you sleep with him. Because, she will sleep with me" said Angelia

"Sorry, miss. But it seems like she won't sleep with you. That's why she has to have a room with me" Nia said

"Aris, where are you going to sleep tonight?" Angelia asked annoyed

"I already have my own room" replied Aris

"You!!" Angelia was upset

"Here is the key" said Nia

Angelia immediately picked up the key with a feeling of annoyance and immediately left all of them.

"Alright, then let's go to the room" said Aris

"Okay, brother" said all of them

Aris took the key and went to her room.

"Okay, this is your room. Remember, don't worry" said Aris

"Sister, I want to eat" Yuni said

"Me too, said Yuli

"Then, you will go down and send you food" said Aris

"Good" Tasya said

Aris is down. And meet Nia who is at the reception desk.

"A, Aris. Can anyone help?" Ask Nia

"Yes, can you send them food?" Ask Aris

"Food? Alright. I will take it there" said Nia

"Thank you" said Aris

"By the way, they're half-human animals? How did they survive the fire? All of them were dead and I thought the half-animal race was gone" asked Nia

"Do you believe the village is a fire?" Ask Aris

"Isn't the village a fire?" Ask Nia

"Has this story spread?" Ask Aris again

"For a long time, I thought their race was gone and it turned out that there were still survivors" replied Nia

"It turns out they're hiding this secret, huh?" Ask Aris in the heart
