I'll become a villain in my next life

Chapter 103: Grueling Secret

[Border Town]

Quite some time has passed since the co. Started heading out to the distressed border town from the exit point of the passageway

Due to some unconventional occurrences the co. Lost their track in time inside the dark passageway which resulted to them arriving at a later date of after 2 weeks and so

Due to the excellent manipulation of to time and space inside the dark passageway which seemed like a dungeon, Kaido was greatly motivated to perform a legit otherworld travel

In the end it only resulted in him able to distort space a little even if he had understand the theory of space distortion and travelling

When they arrived at the border town, the town itself was quite gloomy compared to its beautifully constructed buildings

When the townspeople saw them, they were greatly surprised for such type of visitors that they quickly and excitedly welcomed them as if they haven't been distressed for this past weeks

"Welcome! Welcome! Please enter our town"

"Do you like anything to buy?"

"I suggest you should eat at my place"

"Can we invite you guys for some dinner?"

Welcoming cheers came from all direction as the townspeople approached the co.

Even with all these cheers,praises, and smiles which resulted for the Hero's party to smile wryly for a little bit, Kaido himself says otherwise as he felt that these kinds of smiles, cheers, and praises are somewhat, eerie and disgusting

Unknowingly not only Kaido felt this way but also Melfina, Anna, Jack, felt like this kind of atmosphere is suffocating and scary by its own sense

The only reason that they could think of why they felt such a thing was that the four of them has somewhat a similarity and that is all of them has experience either being in the underworld of the society or have fought and investigated underworld people from before

The smiles of the people felt somewhat forced that made even Kaido to feel wary

As if reading Kaido's mood, Jack silently approached him and said

"These smiles... These smiles can only be seen to people that have become mad at trying to please someone"

"What are you trying to say? Are saying that these guys are literally getting on our good side? Because if it does then I'm not happy about it" complained Kaido

"No what I'm saying is that they feel like being pushed to despair which made them smile like that" replied Jack

After thinking about it Kaido gave a smirk as if he is confirming something

"I guess that it is because of that Archdemon's doing" said Kaido

"Yes... We couldn't agree more"

At that instant the one who answered were Melfina who is followed by Anna

"There's no other reason but that" added Anna as her expression turned dim

"Well I confirmed my guess... Cause after all I'm feeling that something is watching from somewhere else... And I deducted it as the Archdemon" deducted Kaido

"We couldn't do anything about it... We can't move if it doesn't move so I suggest that we should follow along their act" suggested Jack as he shakes his head

"Indeed! That is way better than going on a rampage spree" said Jack as if he is boasting himself

As Kaido's group were having such conversation, the Hero's party however chose to Lodge at an inn near the border's gate
