System vs Rebirth

"What? You should stop!" The girl seemed to be pushing off the soldiers while the latter tried to take her hood off.

Suddenly, another woman came between them, startling all of them.

"!!!" They all looked at the woman and gasped for different reasons.

The soldiers admired the beauty, while the female was shocked by her appearance in this town.

"You are…" The female stepped back while calling her name. "Rose?"

"Who are you, woman? This is Tamworth. Everything has to be checked." The soldiers glared at her while vulgarly scanning her proportion.

Rose coldly looked at them while taking out her badge. "It seems that this city truly deserves its reputation… To think even a mere soldier dares to act almighty in front of an officer from the Demon Banner Army.

"Who do you think has been protecting this place from the demons?"

The moment Rose showed her badge, it alarmed all the people around the gate.

"Demon Banner Army?" The soldiers became panic-stricken.

It also caused commotion to the point the supervisor who took care of the gate ended up coming out of his office.

He was dumbfounded that the soldiers were trying to harass a knight from the Demon Banner Army. And by looking at the badge, it seemed that her position wasn't low.

Rose glared at him and said with a disgusted tone. "It seems that Tamworth is far worse than I imagine…"

"May I know your name, Miss?" The supervisor tried to confirm her identity. If it was just a lowly knight, he wasn't that afraid of the consequence.

Unfortunately for him, the opponent this time was Rose. "Demon Relief Squad's Zero Squad, Rose."

"!!!" The moment he heard the Zero Squad, his heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, he grabbed both the soldiers' heads and lowered them down along with his own head.

"I apologize for not disciplining my subordinates. I'll immediately punish them after this."

Rose glared at him. She knew that they would just do this again after she entered the city, but she also didn't want to make a big fuss.

In fact, she didn't plan to use her identity previously if not for the fact Anna was being harassed.

It wasn't that she cared about Anna being harassed, it was that the moment Anna made a big scene, the consequence would be far worse than mentioning her identity.

Anna was confused by Rose's action. She was planning to enter this place quietly. Even if she couldn't enter right away, she could easily sneak in at night. But the fact that Rose appeared here meant there was one more person who should come out.

The moment that thought appeared in her head, she felt an incoming presence from the back. This figure immediately put his hand on Anna's shoulder, acting like her best friend.

"Oh, to think we would meet in this place. What a coincidence. When was the last time we met?"

Anna turned around, startled. After all, this was the man who was with Rose according to the report, Noel. But she didn't know why Noel actually visited this place.

She wanted to stop him, but she realized that it would be easier to enter with them. So, she had to play along.

"Yeah. What a coincidence."

The moment the soldiers saw how good their relationship was, they instantly looked at Rose who asked them with a demanding tone.

"I didn't plan to use my identity previously, but it seemed I had to. So, am I allowed to enter with my friend?"

"Y-yes." The supervisor nodded his head furiously, hoping Rose would go away immediately.

Before the situation escalated, Noel and Anna had entered the city, leaving Rose behind. Seeing their action, it looked like Rose had to let go of them and chase after the two.

They felt relieved that Rose didn't say anything more than that.

They ended up entering the city after making a bit ruckus. They truly had a bad start.

"What are you doing here?" Noel glared at Anna with his eyebrows twitching, never thinking he would meet her here.

"I should be the one asking that question." Anna clicked her tongue.

Noel and Anna were staring at each other for a while before they reached the same conclusion.

"This is not a good place to talk." Noel sighed.

"Yeah."

"Tavern?"

"Inn is better."

In the end, they ended up agreeing to go to the inn first to discuss the current situation. Meanwhile, Rose was completely speechless watching these two, who were about to argue, end up wanting to go to an inn together as if they were more than friends.

She shook her head helplessly while following these two.

It didn't take too long for them to reach an inn and they immediately entered the same room to discuss this current matter.

As soon as they reached the room, Noel and Anna were glaring at each other as if they had become an enemy.

For Noel, Anna's appearance would cause a lot of issues, especially since his father's subordinate would find her identity and get angry for executing his parents. In the end, they would end up causing unnecessary problems.

On the other hand, Anna came to this place for her own mission. And Noel's existence would just cause another problem since he would do something unexpected in this place.

She had to determine his intention first.

"What are you doing here, Noel?" Anna gritted her teeth, frustrated by his appearance. Although it was true that having an ally was good, the timing was not good.

"I should be asking that question. I'm here to see my father's former subordinate and to determine his stance. What about you?"

"I am here because I got wind of the relationship between a certain underworld tyrant and a noble that seemed to be related to the Supreme Devil Organization.

"So, I'm here to confirm their relationship and if possible, handle them," Anna explained with a grim expression.

"…" Noel suddenly fell silent as if he noticed something. "Wait a minute. That target is not related to the brothel, right?"

"Eh?"
