I'II Become A Villain In My Next Life
Chapter 20: Screa Port City

[Port City Area, Outer Land]

9 Days had passed since the group fought the bandits and thus the rotten corpses began to smell, fortunately Kaido managed to eliminate the smell by circulating a barrier on them and freezing them to preserve the corpse and remove the smell.

For 9 days they passed only one village and finally made it to the gate of the Port City of Screa

As they approached the gate, a city guard stopped them

"May I know what business you're in here for?" Ask the guard

"Oh! We're just here for a walk!" Said Rebecca

After that the guard looked inside and saw the elf and a man sitting by the side while the piles of bags were on the frozen barrier inside the ship.

"Then what is it?" Ask the guard

"Yes! The problem is ... While we were on our way here, we somehow met a group of bandits, we were planning to hand this over to you guys!" Said Rebecca

"Bandits?" Ask the guard

"Bandit" replied Rebecca

Hearing him, the guard called for another guard and told him to dispel the corpse

After that the guard faced Rebecca

"We now have all the bodies, once we identify them, we'll give you a gift but for now do you guys at least have an ID or permit so you can enter?" Ask the guard

"Yes right here! Look at that Adventurer," Rebecca said

Looking at his ID, the guards let them in but before they could get past him, he said

"Be careful of that greedy noble! Especially fairies! Those bastards had absolutely no shame and did what they wanted!" He whispered

"Don't worry we can handle ourselves!" Said Rebecca

**************

Hearing the guard, Kaido smirked

"It seems that no matter which world you come from, they are always greedy and corrupt rich people" he whispered

Melfina clearly heard Kaido but chose to remain silent

"By the way ... What are you doing in the village?" Ask Kaido

"No need to worry, Kaido-sama, they are training themselves to become better and more useful fighters for you!" Melfina

"Good! What about spies?" She asked

“Those merchants? They still seem to be working, though, they worked diligently and now they are expanding their side of some traders they have made others with other jobs join into their group and follow your instructions” Melfina said

"I saw!" Reacts Kaido

"By the way, some of them are starting to call you boss!" Adding Melfina

"I saw!" Kaido reacts with sweat dripping down his face

After a moment of silence, Melfina said

"But the problem is that kaido-sama there is one person who seems to be planning something behind you, and now he is looking for an army to protect himself from you while betraying your trust ...." melfina said grimly and with a tone of anger

"That's what the other spies told me in their own communication crystal after all they were a little suspicious of him" Melfina said

Hearing this Kaido smiled broadly revealing his canines to look at

"Looks like I have to clean up the group again!" She said

"Where is he?" Ask Kaido

"Another trader told me that he would arrive in Screa tomorrow" Melfina replied

"All right, I know what I'm going to do tomorrow! I will show them the consequences of betraying me" Kaido said

****************

After they settled down, they met downstairs and had lunch after all they had been on the road for at least ten days

Once they were full, they immediately headed for the inn and planned to explore the city

"We were planning on going to this city's adventurer guild" Rebecca said

But before they could get out, a bearer stopped in front of them and the door opened

"Ughh! A noble in this rusty inn?" React Rebecca

When the door opened, a head coming from a woman appeared

"Rebecca? Is that you?" She asked

"Ughh! Lilith?" Answer Rebecca

Hearing Rebecca's reply, the woman in her late teens came out of her carriage and hugged rebecca tightly.

"Rebecca's been a long time! Missed you! Even if you're not the successor to your house, that doesn't mean you can just leave the house!" Said a woman named Lilith

"What !? Waitie? I'm nobility" Rebecca said with sweat pouring down her face

This time Lilith looked at him with puppy eyes and said

"You .... You don't remember me? .... I'm your best friend! How can you forget me?" Said Lilith who was covered in tears

Seeing this Rebecca gave up. When pushing him away

"Good! Alrighty! Do what you want!" Said Rebecca

After that he looked back and saw Kaido and Melfina muttering something

"So Rebecca-dono was a born noble .... I see," said Melfina

"It's worth the old room and the way he spends time looks like a rich kid! This explains a lot of things" Kaido said

"What explains so much?" Thought Rebecca

But on the other hand Kaido thought of something very clever

"A nobleman, so .... Looks like I have to earn the trust of these nobles and instill my roots in their society" he thought

As he upholds the body, Kaido walks towards them while remembering some formal etiquette in his old world

"Greetings Madam!" Kaido bowed

This time not only Melfina but also Rebecca looked at Kaido dumbfoundedly as if they were looking at a ghost.

For them, formal Kaido is no ordinary place

"Ughh! A kaido? Formal? It can't be!" Thought Rebecca

"Kaido-sama?" Melfina

But to Lilith, this caught her attention

"For someone, you are not dressed like an ordinary person or and adventurer especially nobles but your manners are just right! Tell me what do you want?" Ask Lilith

Hearing this Kaido grinned in his mind

"Mrs! If you allow me to form at least a little relationship with you and I'll assure you that my ways will benefit you greatly!" Kaido said with a gentle smile as if he was saying that he was a god who sent the pure-hearted prince charming

"Heheh! The acting role as a noble of my world paid off," he thought to himself

"Geez! You are brave enough! ... But I like your guts" Lilith exclaimed

This time Melfina stated to Kaido as if she lost her master and to Rebecca she saw Kaido as a fraud.

"Tell me! Tell me your name first and I'll decide" Lilith said

"Riruko Kaido's name is my lady!"
