The man named Lucien wasn't tall, the silver armor seemed larger than him, with short auburn hair, brown eyes, and a simple yet cute face.
Once they entered the city, they were pleasantly surprised, tall buildings everywhere, well-maintained roads with magic carriages in the form of cars, while not developed like the cities on Earth, the mixture of medieval and technology was a marvel in itself, even though it was in the embryonic stage.
''Welcome to Tokarrion, capital of the Columbus Kingdom. I'm Lucien as you have heard from the captain.''
''Gabriel!"
''Lilth"
The couple introduced themselves as they followed behind while waiting for their host to talk. He seemed to be the talkative type; they could glean useful information from him, they thought.
People wouldn't stop staring at the couple, some of the most daring pointing fingers at them as they whispered.
Lucien scratched his head, feeling a little guilty as he kept stealing a few glances at them.
Is it unusual to see people of our races?" Lilith asked with a subtle smile.
Lucien felt his head heating up for some reason, he looked sideways as he stammered to answer.
''O-of course, it is unusual to find a demon and angel walking together like a couple.''
''We are a couple, though.'' Lilith declared, proudly entwining her fingers with Gabriel, whose expression was calm. He was used to her antics. Once she found someone fun to tease, she couldn't stop herself.
''Ah!" Lucien abruptly stopped, as if he had heard the most shocking news, even though you could tell from a glance.
''Is that so?'' Lucien walked forward dejectedly.
Lilith almost let out a chuckle, finding his reaction cute, she was about to continue teasing the poor Lucien, but Gabriel glared at her, putting a stop to her little antic.
''I was saying it's unusual to see a couple of angel and demon because you two are mortal enemies. It is why people are looking at you so much, coupled with your outstanding features it is normal.'' Lucien explained that after cooling down his emotions, since meeting the couple, especially the woman, he went through a roller coaster of emotions, which was unusual.
Gabriel and Lilith exchanged a look, they had expected something like this anyway.
Lucien thought they might have taken his words too lightly so he decided warn them properly.
''It's good to show you are a couple, but you should act cautiously, especially in the second district, the church won't take you lightly. A couple of angel and demon is considered taboo, and an inquisitor might come after you. You have been warned.''
''Oh? Interesting!" Lilith's eyes glowed with interest.
''Thank you for the warning. Can you tell us a little bit about this place.'' Gabriel decided to shift the together fo another location.
''Alright, I don't know much about the outside world, though, I was born not too far from here. This is the Columbus Kingdom, one of the three kingdoms and this is the capital, divided into three sectors, we are currently in the third sector where you could find the commercial district, the mercenary and adventurer guild, in the second sector you could find the church and other important administrative buildings and lastly the first sector where the royal family lives and the castle.''
''Thank you, Lucien.''
Facing Gabriel's gratitude, Lucien felt a warm feeling enveloping his heart and nodded.
He led the couple under people's stares until they reached their destination, a majestic two-story building with the insignia of sword and axe.
''This is the Adventurer guild,'' Lucien said as he entered through the big double doors, which automatically opened.
The atmosphere was boisterous as one would expect from an Adventurer guild, rough men dressed in armor, women with powerful physics dressed in light armor.
All eyes were on the couple and time seemed to have stopped as those eyes scrutinized the couple.
''Wow! What do we have here, beautiful demon.'' an Adventurer with double axes on his back dressed as if he came out straight of a Konan movie, he sauntered toward the couple, especially Lilith, the others facepalmed, thinking here we go again.
''Beautyfull lady I'm -"
Gabriel didn't let him finish his sentence before saying.
''You should scram.''
''You little shit. Do you know who I am?"
That Adventurer was about to strike Gabriel to establish hierarchy like he had done so often but faster than the eyes could follow, Gabriel struck his solar plexus, sending the giant flying a couple of time in the air before crashing violently on the ground, a couple of meters away, he was unconscious, blood oozing from his mouth and nose, he had been instant-KOed.
A complete and utter silence. They could not believe what just happened if they hadn't seen it themselves, the Ogre, the newbie smasher, had been knocked out with one punch they didn't even see. This was becoming interesting.
