บท 116: Akida

"Kida," Rei raised an arm in the air and waved once.

The approaching avian made a cursory wave that was half-hearted but done out of compulsion. At first glance, the man's hair colour appeared to be black but a closer look showed that it also had a sheen of dark blue like Riaku's wings. Akida's floral patterned robe did not detract from the man's cocky walk and masculine good looks. He even had a permanent dead-eyed look on his face that made it appear like he was perpetually annoyed with life.

"Rei, I heard you were babysitting a healer and his brother."

"Sort of," Rei couldn't tell Akida that he was the one being taught and babysat by the brothers. It would lead to more questions he couldn't answer.

"We're staying in this shitty place? I've seen brothels with more class." Akida looked around the place and commented. The innkeeper was starting to sweat.
