To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 47: Calmness

There are many fine inns at West Station. Each inn has different characteristics, because every business being run by Abyssal Citizens.

In an inn where there is an eatery, Randi's group is relaxing at one table.

"I never thought we were half a year in this hole."

"There is a feeling of excitement that this place isn't so bad."

"But it's sad to think we can't go home and get stuck in this hole."

Even though their initial intention was only to bring Ars home. But Ars was the first to know the truth and decide their step for the future.

Now, they are unofficially the subordinates of a person they used to bully.

Randi sighed while looking out the window. Where the whole place has got covered by falling large yellow leaves.

~~~~~~~~~

1st Floor /

Night / Autumn

~~~~~~~~~

Floor 1 - West Side: Two Seasons Change

The western part of the 1st floor, to be precise in the Giant Leaf Woods area, there are two seasons that alternate. First is Summer. When the rain starts to fall, it indicates that the season will change to Autumn.

Summer doesn't really matter because Giant Leaf Woods protects the surface. However, when the season changes to autumn within 4 months, the whole place will be covered with giant fallen leaves.

All activities got hindered because of the leaves covering the land. Especially the activity of delivering goods from east to west.

"How about you, Randi?"

Dwi's question wakes Randi from dumbfounded.

"Well, yes, surely there are good and bad things happening to us. But I think of those two things, more good things are happening to us. Especially we can be free from world conflicts and only focus on surviving and enjoying life here."

"Daz rite!"

Everyone agrees on Randi's point.

"But my life will be more complete if I can hit Sinaga cocky's face."

"Agree!"

Since they met Ars, their position fell to that of being oppressed by Ars. It made the pride they had built for a long time meaningless.

"I will pay with all my money if needed to hit that bastard Dragon!"

"Welcome - what's wrong with you, sir?!"

Suddenly a customer came, which surprised the maid.

"How about betting I'll give you 1000 if you can hit me?" Ars answered Nanda's challenge. "If you can't hit me, you have to pay me double."

"That's a fraud!"

Ars entered the inn with several scratches, dirty clothes, and many pieces of leaves stuck to his body.

"You okay, dude?" asked Randi.

Ars ignored Randi's question, then looked at the maid.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" asked the maid.

"First, I need a shower."

Ars cleaned up and changed clothes. After that, he sat at the table next to Randi's group.

The previous maid came to Ars again. "Is there anything you want to eat, sir?"

Ars put his body on the chair, stretched for a moment, then answered. "Bring me two grilled King Bear Meat, and two glasses of wine."

The maid turned towards the back, then shouted. "Two grilled King Bear Meats and two glasses of wine!"

About 10 minutes after ordering, the food being ordered finally arrived.

"Two King Bear Meats and two glasses of wine! Please enjoy!"

One serving of King Bear Meat fills a large plate and is two knuckles thick. That large portion of meat can be for two people. But Ars tried to eat two servings for himself.

Randi's group looked at Ars with a slightly scared expression.

"You can finish it all?"

"Just looking at it makes me want to throw up."

"You're not human if you can eat all of that meat."

Ars eat up two King Bear Meats on his desk.

People got scared, seeing Ars just did something ordinary humans couldn't. Everyone except for one, who has known Ars for a long time.

"How is it?" asked Randi.

"About what?"

"Training to master the Abyssal Art? It's been four months since your training started. You should have mastered it, right?"

Randi really believed that Ars could easily learn Abyssal Art.

Ars chuckled for a moment.

"How about you? I heard you asked Jeff to teach you Abyssal Art too?"

"It so difficult. It took 3 months just to master using Ulterior Phantasm, let alone if I wanted to go deeper. I thought I wouldn't be able to get to where you were."

Ars drank his drink, did not respond to Randi's complaint.

They chatted for a quite long time. Until Randi's men got up from their chair.

"Ran, we have to go."

There were already two men outside waiting for them.

"Where are you going?" asked Ars.

"We have to attend a meeting to share community service duties."

"Community service?"

"Yup, participate in cleaning up the mess at this station."

"Ooh."

The entire station is covered by large leaves. Community service is a routine activity that is carried out every fall.

Randi stood up and walked outside. Before leaving, Randi's men had a message for Ars.

"You better thank us!"

"We're doing this to raise your reputation as well."

"Daz rite!"

Ars grinned at their chatter. "Then it's good. I used to worry that you guys would become trash that wouldn't be of any use to society."

Ars is truly immovable. Since he was already stronger than them by then, he could already provide a counterattack which the Four comrades couldn't block.

However, the four comrades did not lose their weapons to attack. They all nod at each other, gesturing to attack together.

"One-two."

""""You Dragon!""""

"Run away!"

The four comrades immediately fled out.

Shortly thereafter, Ars pursued them to the door of the inn holding Royal Hornet Lance. Summons the Guild Guardian because his killing intent arose.

Far ahead, the four comrades didn't stop sparking Ars's anger.

"Can't touch me! Can't touch me!"

"Take my ass!"

"Awokwokwokwok!"

The scene was like two groups of schoolboys fight.

They are already far away. If Ars chases them, it means he admits that he is also still a child.

Ars sighed, store the Royal Hornet Lance, then went back inside, where all the maids got afraid at him.

Ars spent his time sitting in a chair, pensive with closed eyes. He did that long enough until there were no more customers in the eatery.

Suddenly three female servants whispered not far from his position. They did that while peeking several times at Ars. After deciding something, one of them came closer to Ars.

Sweet face with shoulder brown hair. She came to Ars a little shyly.

[Eyes of the DragonValue Scanner]

[Bella= 21 yo]

The waiter is one year younger than Ars, the same age as Latifa, has a shy attitude like Elisa.

"Hi."

Bella tries to start a chat.

"Hi."

"Um, my name is Bella."

"Hi Bella, my name is Ars. Can I help you?"

Ars may seem too friendly, but that attitude will be gone when he got used to that new person.

Bella played with the tray she was holding, feeling nervous. "I just want to ask. Are you interested in this restaurant's special service? " she said, covering her face with the tray.

Special service? Ars mind immediately processed that one sentence containing the two words.

When we talk about "Special Service", it means a service that is only offered to selected customers. But Ars just entered that inn that night. He hadn't even booked a room to stay the night.

"What special service do you provide?" Ars asked, asking for clarity.

Bella stared. She did not think Ars would ask that.

Just then, Bella's friends behind supported her, screaming at a low volume. "Just say you'll do whatever he asks!"

Ars could hear their little screams.

"I." Bella tries to say the point that was told. "I will do whatever you ask."

Ars had heard the offer just now, but it doesn't matter. "Well, I don't think that's a bad offer. Besides, my waist has started to feel stiff."

Bella and her two colleagues in the back got shocked to hear Ars's complaint.

"He must be very experienced!"

Bella gets the first customer Special Services she offers is a professional and dangerous man.

~~~~~~~~~

When the restaurant closed, Bella took Ars to her room.

The room was quite spacious and luxurious. Ars could not believe that one waitress had such an expensive room for themselves. The rooms even beat the best rooms in the inn.

Without further ado, Ars immediately took off his shirt.

Bella felt that Ars was ready to be given special service. Her heart was beating fast. It was her first time, so it was only natural that she wasn't confident in herself.

"What are you waiting for?"

The customers are waiting.

Wearing only a one piece dress to sleep, Bella turned around nervously. But somehow, she found her customer is lying prone.

"Ars?" call Bella.

"Step on me."

"What?"

Bella seemed to have heard wrong.

"Get into bed and step me, especially around the waist."

Like a bolt of lightning, Bella got shocked.

"Is that what you want me to do?" Bella didn't want to get wrong, so she asked again to make sure.

"Yes, you said you would do whatever I asked, right? So, give me a massage. Elisa should have done it. But they would consider me a pedophile if I called her at night like this."

Ars was not only M, but he also calls a little girl to satisfy his desires.

It was very strange, and it felt wrong. But Bella had already brought Ars into the room. She had no other choice but to accept the request.

"Aaahh! That's it! You did well!"

Outside the door, Bella's two friends overheard. They heard that Ars felt good about Bella's service, and it made them proud of Bella.

On the other side, Bella felt more guilty than she should have. Because she was kneading the body of a man, and for some reason, the man felt pleasant.

"I feel the pains are starting to vanish."
