Chapter 84 - What does he want from her? (1/2)

- Brothel - XX Town Year 4014

”Wh—what are you doing!” Lyn exclaimed.

Kazuya and her were on the way back when right at the entrance of a brothel they see Rhys. Despite not being used to such places, Lyn marched right inside to lecture him. Ignoring the looks she got from other people.

”Hm? As you can see, waiting for you,” Rhys answered casually. He didn't seem bothered that she just marched up to him and disturbed what he was doing. The girl he was with though looked very annoyed until Rhys produced a bag from his overcoat and gave it to her. The girl's eyes lit up, and she walked away with it happily.

Lyn hits him, ”Idiot! I was worried something happened, and yet here you are fooling around.”

”Places like this are the best places to gather intel. Besides, I was thirsty too,” Rhys said, as he gathered the rest of his clothes.

Then go find a teahouse, there are plenty here. A deep sigh passed her lips, ”Kazuya? You talk to him, this guy never listens.”

”Kazuya?”

”Isn't this place a bit odd too?”

Rhys smiled, ”Hm, as expected. Yeah, this place stood out as an unusual one. While I did benefit from it too,”

Lyn exhaled deeply, this man is impossible.

”Did you hurt your wrist? There's blood,” Rhys asked.

”Ah, a little.”

Rhys walked over and took hold of her hands before he bent down and licked the blood - that's right he licked it. Like it was the most natural thing in the world to do. A trail of blood was about to vanish into her sleeve, but he caught it with his tongue and licked the inside of her wrist.

Lyn felt her body tremble, ”Um…?” Lyn whispered. She was trying to comprehend the current situation, ”Eh?” Lyn felt her face grow hot, ”W—what---wha—wha?” He said something before that licking wounds is more useful. But, Lyn didn't take him seriously. Now she wishes she did.

Kazuya who was in his trance since earlier finally snapped out of it, he frowned, ”Ahhh, Rhys! What are you doing to Lyn?”

”Treating her wounds.”

”She's a girl; you can't do that.”

Rhys rolled his eyes and sighed, ”Kazuya, why do you still remain naive on such matters? This is an effective way of treating wounds,” a sly smile tugged on the edge of Rhys blood stained lips, and Rhys mouthed the tender flesh on her hand.

”Rhys, please,” Lyn cried out, and Rhys eyes shot open like they doused him in ice water.

She knew her face was still stained red, but she brushed that aside.

Lyn felt her lower lip quiver, unable to think rationally at all. She could push him away like she usually did, but instead — ”Wahhhhh!” Lyn exclaimed and mustered some strength to hit him in the process, drawing her hand back.

Rhys looked at her stunned, and Kazuya burst into laughter, ”That's my Lyn, she's amazing,” Kazuya praised her, Lyn softly laughed as she extended her hands out and Kazuya walked over to hug her, ”Yup, yup, good girl.”

A deep sigh escaped Rhys lips, ”Gosh, you two have gotten more annoying than before,” he rubbed his sore cheek with her hands and Lyn looked over with a guilty expression. Did she really hit him that hard? Rhys picked up his pipe; he tapped it against the table before in hailing. Smoke covered the space in front of him as he said, ”We have to be careful.”
