While I was still staring at the glowing red eyes in the Darkness, I felt whatever confidence I had leave my Body, Every part of my body began screaming at me to run but I just couldn't move because it felt like if I did I would join the body on the floor.
[Are you not going to Run?] The Devil said calmly(Pein's Voice).
[Haaa... I know I won't be able to get far... ] I replied with a sigh but I suddenly felt a light wind brush over my face and he was right before my eyes like he was staring into my soul. My breath got stuck in my throat
After a few seconds, he took a step back while still watching me like I was an amusing toy.
(I am too weak ah… I know this kind of people, I have to Somehow interest him or I'm dead… Aaa, I should try that.)
While I was lost in thought, he suddenly turned towards the direction of the Town like he could see something. (THINK!... THINK...), but I just couldn't think of any other options.
[Great Lord!] I quickly yelled while kowtowing in front of him, who cares about some stupid dignity.
(He's watching me with a bored expression now, But I have no other...)
[…. This , This lowly being wishes to invite you over for a meal with my Lord.... I...]
(It's the only way to survive and not get punished...hopefully he won't kill me....)
As I was talking while in thought I heard His voice again as his eyes seemed to glow much more brightly,
[oh?... you wish to trap me?... ]
[No No No... I wouldn't dare.. ] I tried to defend myself but was interrupted once more.
[Don't worry, I will come...and you best not bore me... ] This time as he spoke, his image began to fade in a spiralling motion till he was completely gone.
SCARY!!. Perhaps it was because of tension from the encounter but my legs gave out once I confirmed he was gone.
[I'LL FIND YOU!]
It could be an auditory hallucinations but I'm sure I heard his voice once again.
[F!ck! what are the Sacred knights doing in town if they are not trying to catch this Devil... ] I cussed.
There were 30 men in total that were in the Castle and he simply came in and out. Even if Kat guards by herself, she might not be strong enough to handle him. as I thought, only Lord Ordis can handle him and it would be great if I can bring him in.
Therefore, all of the credit would belong to me.
[If Lord Ordis heard about this, I'm sure he'll think of something…]
With that, He flickered into the shadows before disappearing from the scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Within the Grand guild Hall, an Old man within his early 50s was currently talking with a young man Donned in silver armor but their voices were beginning to increase it's pitch.
[Therefore, please let me give you a reward] The Young man said...
[No it's alright, for a Knight from House Van to talk to me like this…]
Since the young Knight got rejected again, he looked at the Man seriously. Honestly he was surprised since it was the first time he had his gold rejected, never, normally he'd just have to mention the family name and he would get what he wanted.
In fact, He was asked to come recruit Adventurers for an escort mission but he wanted to shift his duties to the old adventurer with a little bit of gold.
[I see… ] The young Knight said with narrowed eyes.
Somehow, his hand was on his sword while he made a specific gesture at the Old Man.
And then, an outrageous comment came out from the mouth of his friend.
[Don't you want to work for Van Family? I'll ask this matter to my father, he's the leader of the Knights...I'm sure he will agree with it]
[Eh!? But, I don't have any skills at all and I'm old… whatever it is, It's beyond my ability]
[There is no such thing as that! Just now, didn't you...] The Knight tried to refute but was cut off.
[If you want to recruit or post a mission, simply make your request at the Counter] Elena said from behind the group.
Frustrated when they saw it was Elena, they headed towards pete.
[About the Van Family, you don't need to worry about them, their Lord is a Nice Man so I am sure it's just those Knights cooking trouble again... ]Elena says to the Old Man with a smile.
[Uuh Thank you My Lady] He replied Humbly with a tired expression.
It seems she had seen through his anxiety because of the harassment from the Van Family Knights. She went this far to calm him.
[By all means, thank you very much. Lady Elena!] He thanked her once more before walking away.

Elena's POV
As I watched Old Man Roger's leave, The Guild doors was slowly opened to reveal Itachi with his trade mark placid expression. The reflection of the setting Sun added a different kind of beauty to him, his black pupils calmly scanned the Hall before Stepping in.
He places his hands in his pockets while making his way to the counter.
For some reason my chest Tightened, I felt so delighted, like I want to jump up and down but also Sad that he was still distancing himself from me.
I couldn't help but blush when I remembered how I behaved in our last Encounter.
After a little thinking, I suddenly got an Idea and walked towards the post Pete was hanging to find out the mission that The Vans Family issued. After picking up the notice, I saw that it was an escort mission from Primux to Holiva.
At the same time, Itachi arrived at the counter and placed his Badge on it, clearly trying to submit his mission result. He didn't say a word, He just silently watched Pete.
Times like this one makes me wonder just how much he is carrying on his shoulders, He just seems so Lonely and not to mention he was just pulled into the scuffle of the Gods, I wonder what he saw in the vision.
"What was his mission about, If I remember correctly it was a subjugation quest."
so I walked closer only to see Pete with wide open eyes as he alternated between the badge and Itachi's face.
Unable to hold my Curiosity, I grabbed the Badge and inserted my Mana in order to look at the Quest details as well as the results but...
<On the main road North of Primux, Not to far from the Black forest,There has been several reports on Ogres terrorizing the place.
Brave adventurers, Help us rid the area of this menace!!>
Grade: B
20 silver for each earring.

<34 Ogres and 1 Chieftain Killed>
While I was looking through the details, Itachi pulled out a Bloody bag from Zoldevi Knows where and dropped on the counter with a "Splat!" sound.
I struggled not to throw up my lunch as I watched the scene, Pete scribbled on his jotter, probably telling him to take it to the Exchange room because Itachi took the bag and started heading in that direction.
I quickly chased after him with the escort mission request and his badge...
[Itachi... Itachi! hold on... I... wait] I yelled as I followed after him, ah Father is going to flip if he sees me acting like this in public again.
Itachi stops while looking at me with a raised eyebrow before saying [Is There a problem Miss Elena?]
"He's Still doing that huh...I'll have to change that but that's not a fight for today..."
[uhm... I wanted you to help with this mission, I know... ] I began mumbling towards the end as I felt heat rush to my face but luckily I was interrupted.
[Okay... ]
"haa...I knew he would say No but you... "
[WHAT?! what did you say?] I quickly asked, perhaps I heard wrong but he already walked away after collecting his badge.
[Goodnight, Miss Elena] He replied without turning back but I was too excited to care.
Finally, luck is rolling my way. Somehow, my body feels lighter than ever, it's good thing I guess?
Let's hurry and make preparation for the trip.

In a dimly lit Room, A Middle aged man sat on his wooden chair while a skinny looking Man laid shaking on the floor...
[Jnog... explain everything that happened from the beginning] The middle aged man said.
[As you Wish]...
