Chapter 14: Fooling around with the villainess..
Seeing that Lia was going to continue her endless talk, Rio just ignored her and fell asleep.
'There is still a long way to figure out the truth'
Lia continued her self-talk for a while until she noticed that Rio had fallen asleep:
"You-you! How can you fall asleep!? When I am still talking!"
"Hey! You wake up!"
She wanted his attention, but Rio refused to give a sh*t about it.
...
The journey on the train continued, and after a few hours, they were already at the port.
This is a famous port and it's very huge. Yeah, to describe this place, you can use a single word, that is, huge.
Several big and small ships are docked here. Ms. Anna talked with the captain of the ship we would be boarding, and then he guided us to his ship.
This ship has a name for itself, Stormwalker.
'You might wonder why its name is Stormwalker.'
'Even I was surprised when the captain introduced its name.'
According to the captain, this ship has overcome hundreds of thunderstorms and monster attacks, thus getting the name Stormwalker.
The captain bragged that he had been working with stormwalker since his childhood. Maybe it was bragging or maybe it was real, but the captain was really happy talking about his adventures on Stormwalker.
"You can take a walk around the port until the ship leaves the port tomorrow morning."
"If someone got left behind, you will not be able to join us again and have to go back to the academy. So be sure to come back to the ship before morning."
"You can leave now."
Most of the students directly ran towards the shopping area; only a few stayed on the ship. Rio also left to stroll around.
It's rare to have a chance to waste time like this. But since there are no training facilities here, nothing can be done about that.
'Let's see, should I buy some clothes or should I do something else, I haven't used the money Lia transferred yet.'
'I am not sure about what should I do to pass some time... are there no tea stalls around here?...'
Rio doesn't really do much nowadays aside from training like a maniac who has no interest in anything else, so he is not sure what he should do now that the teacher has suddenly told him to 'touch some grass'.
When Rio was walking around the shops, he saw a few students arguing about something with the shopkeeper. Then he suddenly remembered a face-slapping event should take place here at the port.
As you know, Fade is from a poor background, When he enters the shop and tries to buy a few expensive clothes for himself, the shopkeeper shows his disgust at him, saying, you can't afford this, you can't afford that blah blah blah.
Then magically Kira appears and buys the whole shop and gifts it to Fade for free. The shopkeeper gets face slapped.
Then he starts arguing with Fade, saying you are taking advantage of a lady from a rich family. Then the shopkeeper starts violence and calls his friends to beat Fade.
Yet Fade and Kira beat them instead.
'Hmm, should I go to another place? I will get irritated seeing these cliché developments.'
Just when Rio was thinking of going to another shop, his hand was caught by a small hand:
"Where are you going! Come with me; I want to visit that bar!"
"Oh…okay"
Rio was caught by surprise when suddenly a beautiful girl started to force her way with him. (Cough! I am just joking.)
Since Rio didn't have anything else to do, he decided to go with the flow when Lia asked him to come with her.
Anyway, villains always have interesting stories to tell, and Rio thought he could surely pass some time with her.
...
Both of them then entered a small bar and Lia did not wait for anything but directly started to drink.
A slight blush appeared on her face.
Due to her being a beauty, several hooligans got attracted to her, but Rio just made them faint by releasing a bit of his aura on them.
'Hmm, such small fries can't do a thing in front of me. Only the protagonists have to pretend to face slap.'
Rio doesn't like trouble, so he takes care of it before it even arises.
A sigh of disappointment escaped his mouth.
"Hey! What are you waiting for a drink this!"
"Yeah, yeah...."
'Sigh~, this woman is a real headache...Well, ordinary drinks like this can't affect me much since I have already become a C rank.'
After a few hours, Lia was already too drunk; she started yapping non-stop again:
"You know! Since I was a child, no one ever saved me; even my father was very strict with me. You were the first one who dared to do so."
"If not for the fact you ran away, I would have beaten you black and blue for interrupting my fight with that monster!"
"My father said that only if you are in danger can you become strong. So next time don't get in my way!"
"Otherwise, I will beat you to a.....a….pulp..."
And just like this, she fell asleep.
'I didn't know about her childhood at all... well, her past was never written in the novel.'
'The only role she had in the novel was to spout curses on Kira. Maybe it was due to some incident related to her childhood. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me much either way.'
Well if there is some change, then it is a good chance. Maybe she won't die as she did in the novel. The rest is dependent on fate.
'In my case, there's no fate or destiny, I have my path myself. Unlike her, I am an extra.'
Rio got up and carried Lia back to the ship, he didn't know her room number, so he just took her to his room.
He laid her on his bed and slept on the sofa himself.
'I wonder what expression she will make when she wakes in the morning. I won't do anything to her but a little bit of teasing can still be done.'
A very devilish smile appeared on Rio's face.
'hehe…'
...
In the morning the boat left the port and all the students returned. Fortunately, or unfortunately, no one was left behind thus heading towards the Roult Islands.
It will take 15 days to reach the Roult islands. It's going to be a long and peaceful trip, except for a few people.
In the evening the next day:-
"hmm….where is this?..."
Lia looked around, and she found the room unfamiliar.
Then she checked her clothes and seeing they were still neat and clean, she heaved a sigh of relief but then a voice made her lose her mind:
"Oh, you are awake Take this coffee."
"..."
Lia continued to stare at the coffee and Rio for a while, her mind was already blank, several calculations and thoughts were running wild in her mind her eyes started to lose color and become lifeless as if the sky was falling on her.
Just as she was about to burst into tears a voice calmed her:
"Oh, come on, what are thinking about. I didn't know your room number so I took you here, in my room. Why are you behaving like a child whose candy has been snatched by a bad uncle?"
"I-I am not a kid! Yo-you wh-what did you do to me!?"
"Well what did I do? I wonder what has been done when a young beautiful girl was on my bed. Completely defenseless." (Rio spoke with great emotions on his face)
"Yo-you! How can you do that to me!"
Seeing the grin on Rio's face Lia had a sudden urge to punch his face. However, due to the effects of drinking too much, her body was not reacting to her will.
"Take this coffee; you will get some energy. Last night you spent so much energy clinging to me after all."
Seeing Lia irritated Rio widened his grin even more.
"wh-wha… it's impossible! Why would I cling to someone like you!?"
"Well, if you don't remember, then what can be done? Even though you were so aggressive last night." (Rio made a face as if he was being wronged.)
"Impossible! That's Impossible!"
Seeing that Lia was at her limit, Rio decided to stop now.
"Okay okay, don't cry. I didn't do anything to you. You are still as pure as milk. Don't worry."
"Are you speaking the truth!"
"Yeah, I was just fooling around with you."
When Lia figured out that Rio was making a fool of herself, she got embarrassed.
In the end, she left Rio's room angrily:
"Humph! You idiot! You meanie! I am going! I will get back to you one day!"
After Lia left, a satisfied smile appeared on Rio's face, He sat near the window and continued to enjoy the scenery. It was already evening.
Then suddenly the ship started to shake a little and screaming sounds started to come from outside.
Rio sighed at this commotion and said,
'What happened now? Good grief, can an extra, not even tea in peace? Let me rest for a while~'
