It has been almost 2 Weeks Rion and his friends came to this world.
His initial goal of wanting to protect his childhood friend from organizations targeting his friend was delayed during a previous incident.
During that 2-week period as well, Rion did not laze around. Various people he has asked. But the information about the kidnapper's organization he did not get at all.
Whenever he asked the same question, the reaction he got was always the same.
They laugh. Not just that they feel impossible.
It's true, it's impossible. Rion knew it, but still it bothered her.
The information he received was too little, far from decent.
Almost nothing at all.
The only information he could capture was, A Goblin and a Minotaurus on the day of the reception ceremony.
That's it, nothing more. He thought after a long distance coming here would definitely get a clue or two. But his colossal thoughts led him to the brink of impasse.
Rion was only able to sigh deeply.
" uh... "
" Can you not do that every time you come here "
Right, this was already the third time Rion had done it in front of Konoha.
" You're really ruining the taste of these cookies."
" Hahaha, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there "
" Listen, Rion-San, this is my room, I let you in is because you brought good food for me, but if you're the one who's blocking me from eating it, better than ever I won't let you in."
Konoha slightly endured her annoyance. The veins on his forehead also stood out. When Rion realized that he only smiled wryly, as if underestimating Konoha whose words were not in line with his actions.
" Why in my room anyway, what do you want from me. Or maybe you're after my body ?!! "
Konoha hugged her own body and retreated away from Rion.
" There's cream on your cheek "Reply Rion flat.
Konoha, which is still on alert, prefers to sit a little away and pull all the food nearby.
Rion was not bothered by Konoha's attitude, because it was natural for a noble princess to guard herself from foreign men when in the room, even though here they were not only the two of them.
" This room.. " Rion held back his sentence, he seemed to close his eyes for a moment feeling the gentle breeze caressing his already long hair.
" Minds me of Home "Next
" ..... "
" This room, as well as all your collections and tattoos up to this tatami, all of them. "
" Hee~~ is that how it is ?" With a chuckle Konoha only responded far from the word half-hearted, because his whole heart is now fixed on a delicious snack in front of him.
" Yey, Konoha chan. If I told you I came to this country just to save a childhood friend from an evil organization, would you believe me ?"
Konoha, who had initially ignored Rion, was slightly interested in the latter. The spoon that was active stopped in the middle of the road.
From the look of Rion's lonely face, Konoha was able to conclude that the young man before him was currently in a deadlock.
Actually Konoha could have ignored him as usual, but after seeing the look of a desperate face, his appetite became disturbed.
" uh... "
Rion heard Konoha's complaint, he was a little guilty of ruining his eating.
Rion also saw Konoha rise from kotatsu and leave her food behind. Rion's feeling more guilty, is he hated ?
But his mind was broken when it turned out that Konoha was not going out, but was looking for something in his sliding closet, not long after, the girl came with a long, shiny black box with many seals attached.
Rion was no stranger to the box. Also with the seal. And when the box was placed on the side of the table close to her, Rion realized that the box was really similar to the one he had seen in the main house warehouse.
Although he does not know what this box and it has attachments or just similar.
Rion approaches the box, groping and looking for a secret key or combination that anyone knows really exists.
But want that combination of numbers and hidden pegs can not be found.
His hope with the secret box of ninja mechanism extinct right then and there, looks on the face of his disappointment.
" Konoha chan, this is not a Ninja box. Not cool at all"
" What do you expect "
" The Ninja Box "
" Ko's.. Ninja Box?, I've been wondering why you're so obsessed with Ninja ?"
"Ninja colors are cool, they are able to sneak in without knowing the enemy, hide in the shadows, or camouflage with the wall, walk on water, disappear in the smoke, substitute body, shadow style, and so on, throws Suriken, Kunai, also Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Jujustu. Also.."
" That's enough!!"
Konoha was forced to stop Rion's chatter before going any further, if he continued to hear it it would be endless.
" I don't know anymore, actually you're obsessed or a maniac "
" I'd rather be a Shinobi than a Maniac "
" Listen, be a... Uh?, you even know about the Shinobi." Konoha twitched its slightly throbbing forehead.
" Listen, the Shinobi world is harsh. Even if your physique is capable but if your mentality is not, it will be your own grave. Even I who have been since childhood immersed in this dark world alone feel our world is too dark for ordinary people who only know from its greatness, they do not know the process we went through before, he said, you must also not know how many of my friends have lost their lives to reach the top, you must also not know how many lives have been lost with this hand."
Konoha put on a cold face, the look in his eyes seemed to reveal the dark experience he experienced. Her sweet face was no longer visible. Even the carefree and pleasant aura he kept on emitting was no longer there. Only a tight atmosphere filled the room.
Rion was surprised by the drastic changes made by Konoha. He did not think that the innocent girl he knew was able to suppress himself so far.
Without ruining the atmosphere, Rion received that warm welcome.
Rion of almost the same scale also gave off an aura similar to that of Konoha.
It was the aura he used to emit when working as a Clan official in the field. Also the aura when intimidating the enemy that if more than the members he brought.
" I'm not surprised you're going to make it this far, Rion-san."
" Don't underestimate me, I'm not a spoiled child who only knows how to use the status of his parents."
" When I first met you, I could tell. I'm the most skilled at hiding and disguising whereabouts you can find easily "
" Yes, instinct. I trust instinct more. Because I was raised by instinct"
***
Little info: as this conversation progressed, the two of them slowly added energy in the aura they emitted, the pressure grew stronger and clashed with each other, without them noticing it had an impact on the surroundings.
Only a few people can feel.
***
The pressure they exuded clashed against each other, making the maid that accompanied them from the beginning almost faint on the spot. Luckily the two of them were aware of it and swallowed back their threatening aura.
Some maids were downed while working, and that made a scene for all the workers in the residence.
And surely they both had been properly lectured, and had not gotten their lunch rations.
Until dinner time arrives, they must be punished by Seiza at the gate.
Their thighs are burdened and they are also covered with a board, saying "DO NOT FEED" With the capital of this world Letter.
Many people around who watch them, some come out of curiosity, some pass by and stop, some deliberately come to watch. Some even come and deliberately tempt them with the cry of passion, the smell of food, even the cheering of mischievousness.
And it was also a little entertainment among the people to see their nosy Miss in the law.
As they all seem to love this family. And this family loves its people too. From this alone it can be seen if justice also enters the house of the ruler.
" I'm hungry... "
" After eating a lot of cake you still call yourself hungry?"
" This and that are different. A woman has two stomachs. One for one for food"
" Uaaa, look who's talking "
" What!!?" Konoha glared at Rion to hide his embarrassment.
" No "Rion avoids fights and returns to concentrate.
Long as they waited in the hot sun, the clothes they were wearing started to get wet from sweat, and made it uncomfortable.
They were aware that this was a punishment, but still, being in the sun was too heavy for the two of them even more so it was still midday.
The temptation of the audience is getting heated up defeating the scorching sun. Those who take shelter with pleasure enjoy a cold drink that has recently been launched.
" Even though it was my idea, I didn't think it would be used against me. Is this what you call your weapon of eating?"
" I can't believe it's coming from you, too, Rion-San."
" You want to?, I still have a few more liters in my storage."
" Storage ?"
Avoiding the tedious questions that would come again, Rion immediately took them out, along with a small table and two glasses of carbonated drinks complete with ice cubes and cute little umbrella decorations and cute colored pipettes.
It looks much more luxurious than just a glass bottle as the audience used there as a heated event.
Their faces looked shocked beyond disappointment.
But the two men in the law did not see their faces. The two of them were only focused with a drink in their hands. And occasionally discuss anything else that is not related to punishment.
The audience who paid to heat up, lost in a landslide right then and there. Even the instructor for it had run out of sense every time Rion took out either food or drinks that were far more luxurious than he had spent.
It was not long before dinner. Mr. Alberd came to pick them up. And how surprised he was when he found them both were cool eating a warm drink.
He and the bodyguards behind him were only able to shake their heads.
" It seems like punishing them is no longer getting a deterrent effect, but the two of them are getting closer. I don't know if this will be a death flag or not "
No one knew the meaning of Mr. Alberd's murmur, not even his loyal bodyguard.
Mr. Alberd, who surrendered in an unscrupulous manner, was forced to take his sentence a little earlier.
It would be free if this continued. Nothing will change.
The audience who had taken the time to come was one by one a retreat.
Although a little disappointing but they enjoy the interesting spectacle. Moreover, Rion also distributed food to some people because of limited stock.
The soldiers started to help with the equipment, while Rion and Konoha were tingling and leaning against the wall of the fence.
From a distance they both realized that they were at the core.
Rion called the person who turned out to be a little sister who had gotten a little cake.
But he did not come alone now. There was a smaller girl hiding behind him.
"Uoo~~ who's this cute girl?" Temptation Rion who tilted her body in a funny way to try to peek at her face that was hiding behind her brother's body.
The girl timidly returned increasingly trying to cover her face by immersing her face in her brother's clothes.
" Ano, actually. My sister is very interested in the sweets you gave me last afternoon"
" Cock ?"
" Yes, the soft, the white, the sweet and the cold "
" You mean ice cream?"
Rion took out a small box of residual ice cream. Not much but enough for a few small glasses.
" Ais klim "The girl who was hiding jumped out, when she heard ice cream. His eyes were fixed on the box in Rion's hand.
Rion was happy to see the children's cheerful faces. Their smiles were much more soothing than others.
Sometimes this attitude is also often misinterpreted by others with something extreme views.
" Rion San, please sell it to me, I'll pay for it. Please "
The little man begged earnestly, in his palm were several small and large copper coins. And some sweets that were shared.
The little man waited anxiously. Has he been sassy ? But considering Rion's persona this afternoon. At least He thought Rion would be withered if he were to beg earnestly.
" I'm sorry it's not for sale. "
What a little man he was when he heard Rion's reply. He was unable to lift his face. Her tears began to fall to the ground. The sister who realized her brother was sad, also felt sad.
The little sister squeezed the end of her brother's shirt, she also buried her face in her brother's stomach.
" Thu.. Hold still.. " Rion panicked because his joke didn't get to the two of them.
" Uah, Rion San. You've made a child cry. The gods will definitely lower the severe punishment on you."
" W.. Ti. don't need your help "Rion is annoyed with the company from Konoha.
" Of course, don't cry. I said it's not for sale because I made it not for sale. I made it to enjoy together. Keep your money back, and can you please just do this for a second ?"
Rion pointed to the little man's stomach, it turned out that there was already his little sister sobbing there without him noticing.
While the little man was coaxing and calming his sister, Rion was done with his business, copying ice cream into a plastic glass with a bit of decoration and topping.
Enough for 3 cups. Not much perporsi but good enough for the end.
The faces of the sisters were immediately cheerful and the two of them did not forget to thank Rion. Even Rion who blushed also got a light peck on the cheek from the younger brother.
Rion escorted the brother's departure with a wave.
" They're a happy family, right ?" Sahut Konoha from the side.
" Yup, with just a smile all the fatigue from daily activities will disappear like dust"
" And again.. "
" And again what ?"
" And again, like his Rion San is very good at dealing with small children... "
Rion was blown away with a Konoha smile behind the sun back then. Konoha, which is basically sweet, now looks more charming with a style and curves that are no less charming.
Is it because of the effect?, yes it must be because of the effect. Rion tried to calm down. His heart is only for a Risu.
And that's how Rion and Konoha are today. Until dinner came they prepared and cleaned themselves up. Alternating for sure.
Meanwhile, elsewhere away from the hustle and bustle of the city. In the middle of the dark forest, a giant hairy creature awoke from its hibernation. In the dark depths of the cave a pair of fiery red eyes are seen by other small forest dwellers.
Miraculously the little creature was not at all afraid of him, even the little creature came to approach voluntarily, as if he was not at all threatened.
Although the forest creatures are not afraid of him, but for other creatures, especially humans, just by looking at his figure, they can know that this great creature is not their match, no matter how high their rank in the guild.
Right before the sun will completely set. The roar of the creature shook the entire forest as far as his voice could be heard.
Awaken one by one the rulers of the other night, signifying they have no power to mess around in his territory.
