Chapter 36 - 36

Seeing Rhash's appearance, the originally fearful man got some confidence out of nowhere

No matter who looks at Rhash, they would all think that he was a frail little kid. No one would associate him with someone that can break adult human and even monsters' bones with a single move

The slanderer gaining that much confidence is not good for him. He knows Rhash's reputation as the Bloody Angel yet he was fooled by the kid's angelic appearance

"Hmph! What's wrong with what I said? It was just a speculation, why do you look so guilty?"

His statement once again infuriated Reif yet he wasn't able to do anything

As for Rhash, he had an amused look on his face. Humans are always like this. They would ooze out with confidence as long as they think the other party wouldn't be able to harm them

They would create huge commotion just because of their inferiority complex. How utterly disgusting

"Hahaha, you are thinking too much. I just want to ask you a question" that much provocation is not enough to make Rhash lose his calm. In fact, in his eyes, the man in front of him is nothing but a jealous clown

"What is it?" The man asked in confusion. He was puzzled at what Rhash could possibly want to know from him

"It's actually very simple. Do you have a family or anyone that is important in your life?" Rhash stated his question that gave even more confusion not only to the slanderer but also to the other bystanders

"I-I do. I have a wife and daughter. Why do you ask?" The man inquired while raising his guard. Could Rhash be thinking of harming them as his vengeance?

"Nothing much. I just wonder, if your wife or daughter or even both of them got to the point that they are on the brink of death and you ask a doctor for treatment but the doctor refuses because you don't have any money. What would your reaction be?"

Rhash's statement just gave the man even more fear but it also became an excuse for him to put even more dirt into the name of the Bloody Angel and Crimson Magician

"Y-you... you aren't thinking of harming my family, right?! How evil of you!" The man shouted. Loud enough for a lot of people to hear

If he does this then if his family were to be in any harm, the first suspects would be Reif and Rhash. The man thought that he was being clever by preventing the kids from harming his family

It causes the bystanders to murmur with each other. Rhash's question really sounds like a threat and he would surely become a source of gossips because of that

"Hahaha, you really are thinking too much. You see, my brother here is very caring. I was on the brink of death at that time and he desperately wants to save me. However, the doctor refuses to treat me, almost costing me my life. If the same thing happened to your family or to the family of anyone here, wouldn't they have the same violent reaction?"

As much as Rhash don't care whether people gossip about him and Reif, having infamy at this stage is not allowed

He saw how much a bad reputation affected Reif. Everywhere he goes, as long as people recognized him, they would be on guard and even throw hurtful words at him

It wasn't even rare for these people to try and kill Reif just because of the rumors they heard

A repeat of those times in this lifetime is not allowed. Therefore, Rhash needs to at least make sure that they won't have a reputation that will cause people to want to kill them

With his statement, it should clear both of their names to some extent

Most of the people present here at least have one important person in their life. If the important person in their life were to get at the same point as Rhash does, wouldn't they also want to attack and kill the doctor for his greediness?

It was a life that was at stake back then! Who wouldn't be enraged if the person they love can be saved by someone but that someone refuses just because they want to get money in return?

Thus, this man is now the target of people's ridicule

"True, I would also really be enraged if the same thing happened to me"

"I would want to kill that doctor if they refuse to save my daughter!"

"Right, right. It was the doctor that was at fault. How can he be so merciless? The Bloody Angel and Crimson Magician are just kids! He didn't even feel any pity for them"

The public sentiments were swayed just like that. The city people that once slandered Reif and Rhash is now slandering the man that makes a ruthless remark earlier

It causes his face to turn red from both embarrassment and anger to the point that he runs away

"See? I taught you how to deal with people using force but at times, you need to deal with them using your head" Rhash said to the pouting Reif

In Reif's head, anyone that slandered his big brother would need an even heavier punishment than that

——

"Little spider, you can come out now" Rhash said as soon as they entered the room they rented

From Rhash's bag, the little spider with a human head came out while sulking

"Master, I really don't like being in that bag. It doesn't feel good and I also don't want to be away from my minions"

With how cowardly Khaknur was, he definitely wouldn't want to be away from his minions. It makes him feel unsafe but what can he do? Rhash is his Master

"Stop complaining and just make your temporary nest here" Rhash said in a shooing manner before looking at Reif

"Let's go, accompany me. I want to have a bath"

They just returned from a mission that they accepted from the guild. Rhash is already missing the feeling of bathing even though he can use magic to keep his self clean

"B-bath?" Reif muttered with the tip of his ears instantly turning red

A bath with Rhash... although this is not the first time that they would do it, Reif's mind 'matured' a lot in the more than a year that they spend together

Bathing with Rhash always feels like torture for him

"Yup, I'll go wash your back and you'll wash mine. It'll feel good!"

With that, Rhash dragged Reif into the bathroom that is inside their room. The bathroom was actually simple and also similar to the modern earth

Although this world doesn't rely upon electricity, they still have magic. Since Mesha City is a big city, it has a lot of functions similar to the ones that earth has

B rank adventurers although not millionaires or billionaires, are still among the rich

The two can afford to rent a room with complete amenities

Reif can only let himself be dragged by Rhash into the bathroom

Inside the bathroom was a shower that was run using magic stones. There was also a bathtub in the side

Even with two people, the bathroom doesn't feel small since the two are far from being a pauper than they were originally

B rank adventurers can easily save a lot of money if they always return safely from their missions

They can buy large mansions and such. The room that the two rented are very luxurious and the bathroom can accommodate them easily

As soon as Reif entered the bathroom, he can't help but gulp a mouthful of saliva. It's happening again, the heat that comes whenever he shared a bath with Rhash bubbled inside him

As for the clueless Rhash, he was already taking his clothes off while his back was facing Reif

In Reif's eyes, Rhash was slowly removing his garments, exposing his milky white back little by little

Since Rhash can heal from any wounds without any scar, his back was nothing but flawless

Not even the slightest bit of stain can be seen in it. It was as soft and fair as the skin that babies have. No, Rhash's skin might even be moister than a baby's skin thanks to how his body was modified

Just Rhash's back alone was already enough for Reif's whole face to heat up yet this time, he was removing his bottom garments

His movements were casual and he didn't know the effects of his innocent action has. In his eyes, Reif is just a kid. There is nothing wrong if they take a bath together

Rhash was completely defenseless and he didn't notice that Reif's eyes were locked in his pair of soft buns

Rhash's behind looks bouncy and juicy. It was quite meaty and would give people an urge to pinch them using their whole hands

It was like even the slightest bit of pressure would cause it to turn red
