Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 107. The figure of the Guard and Sister chapter. 2
Michaela and the other children stopped crying while hugging Theo.
“So, Theo-niichan will go too?
“Umm” Theo nodded
Hearing that answer, everything including Michaela was delighted. Two other young children who had not yet taken a bath finally took their new clothes and took a bath. The other children who had taken a shower were sitting on chairs while wiping away their tears and smiling.
Theo who saw that could only sigh and smile thinly. She started to stand up and look for her new clothes in her previous shopping bag, while Michaela and three other children sat on chairs.
The four children started whispering to each other.
“So we cried for what?” ask one of the boys
“You cried too but don't know why?” michaela whispered to the boy
“I saw you guys crying and hugging Theo-niichan so I followed along crying as well. Why did we cry?”
“It was a way for Theo-niichan to come to town and shop with us!” answer Michaela
“So you just pretended to cry?”
“That's not pretend, I did cry real” Michaela replied in a whisper
“But for the sake of being able to make Theo-niichan come with us, right?”
“True once!” Michaela answered confidently
“It's the same as pretending to know! His name is kedafar” replied the boy with confidence
“Ish! The theatricality! That's his name skit not skit!” Michaela corrected her friend's speech
“It's no different, his name you have lied–ouch!! Don't pinch me!”
Michaela pinched the boy's arm and shouted in pain. Hearing that, Theo looked at them and approached them.
“Why?”
“Nothing. We're just talking. Yes, right?” Michaela smiled as if nothing had happened
“Hmm. Yes, that's it then. Wait here–oh, they're done”
Theo saw two other children coming after finishing the bath. They instantly gathered with Michaela and the others.
“I'll take a shower for a while. You six wait here. If that perverted uncle comes back, you'll be with him first. But, remember well! Don't follow along being a pervert like her!”
Theo advised the children and put emphasis on the word ‘mesum’ which made the children nod their heads quickly.
After that, he went to the back and the children's meeting resumed.
“So, where was your chat?” ask the boy who just came
“We are talking about Michaela who pretended to cry to persuade Theo-niichan to come shopping with” explained the little girl named Sienna
“It wasn't a pretend but a charade! I told you, right?” Michaela corrected the words of her other friend
“The bottom line is that you did it because you wanted Theo-niichan to come with us again, right?” ask Sienna
“Umm...” Michaela lowered her head with a pouting mouth
“This morning...This morning Theo-niichan does not go with us to the altar. We also did not accompany Theo-niichan looking for money due to hunger and Theo-niichan came home with wounds on his face like that. You see the bruises are still clearly visible, right?” Michaela said with a sad face and red eyes like she was going to cry again
“.....” other kids look down sad
“I want Theo-niichan not far from us. Since we can't do anything when Stelani-neechan and Fabil-niichan are taken by bad guys, we become separated from them”
The other children who heard him saw each other and looked at the little girl's face.
“Michaela, don't be sad. We're gonna help you, remember? When we got out of the house, we told him we were going to help. So don't be sad again” said a boy
From a distance, Joel saw that and smiled. He approached them all while carrying a small bag with a long rope.
“Huwaa~see you guys..sweet and fragrant once~”.
The children welcomed Joel who came cheerfully.
“Joel-ojichan!”
“You like his new shirt?”
“Suka~”
“Good then. So, I heard that all of you are.smart skit” Joel said it while smiling.
“We did it to be with Theo-niichan!”
“I know that, little girl. Your one brother is indeed very stubborn and there is no sweetness at all. Even if he smiled a little at me, he would definitely be sweeter..hmm?”.
Hearing that, Michaela and the others looked at Joel with sinister gazes. The children's reactions gave Joel goosebumps and panic.
“What? Why are you looking at me like that?!”
“Theo-niichan said you can't be a pervert like Joel-ojichan” Michaela said with a cynical look
“Oi! A–aku is not perverted! You guys didn't forget our good relationship a while ago, did you? Come on. I feel like a bad guy like this”
All the children laughed at Joel's panicked face that looked funny to them. Joel who likes to joke with children also laughs. After that, Joel knelt down and draped the small bag he had brought to Michaela.
“What is this, Joel-ojichan?”
“It's in it very much money”
“Money? Really?!”
“Of course it's true. You're all going shopping together, right? Buy everything you like with this money. Don't forget to buy the part of your older sister and older brother who is one again ya”
Joel smiled as he rubbed the children's heads one by one. Hearing that, Michaela opened her small bag and saw a lot of coins in it.
“Huwaaa~ouang this much...really spendable?!”
“Tentu”
From behind, Theo approached those who were engrossed in gathering and was shocked by what Michaela had shown him.
“Eh?! Pa–paman perverted..you gave us this much?!”
“What's really why? You'll accompany them shopping, right?”
“La–then what about the bar?!” Theo asked in a panicked tone
“I'll keep it for a while. The plan is that if my legs are not lazy, I intend to call my friend and ask him to fix this place, so you go yourself”
“But...if we go alone, you don't worry if something happens to all of us?”
Joel stood up and approached Theo.
“Why should I worry? You're their brother who's gonna protect them, right?” Joel said with a confident smile
“.....” Theo speechless
“Again, even if you have money.You should keep your money well. You can wear it for later”
“.....” Theo can only lower his head with a thin smile
“This is a relaxing time for you guys. At least for now, enjoy your time without worry. I'm sure, the ones who leave later will also come back to you with a smile” Joel rubbed Theo's head covered in a hat
All the children looked happy and hugged Joel while saying thank you.
The first time in approximately 2 hours of his time with the children, he did not hear the word ‘mesum’ out of Theo's mouth. This is another blessing for a big-bodied om-om with a face that is no less fierce than Justin.
After a few minutes, they finally decided to go to the city for shopping.
“Do not go too far and return before night ya” message Joel to them
“We go first, Joel-ojichan~”
“Don't destroy your only livelihood yes, uncle–“
“Yes yes, I don't want to hear his last word. Quick go there!” Joel moved his hand like he was throwing Theo away
“Cih! We walk first” Theo holding Michaela's hand and go
Although it was only for a moment, Theo glanced at the bloodstains on the other side of the road and ignored them.
‘Justin is dead! I don't need to remember the bad things caused by him all this time! We are free!’
Theo tightly grasped the pendulum of his necklace that was inside his collar. They walked happily while laughing. It also makes Theo look happy.
Michaela looked at Theo and said with her smile.
“Theo-niichan, I told you Joel-ojichan is good. Just like Kino-niichan, right?”
“She's good. But a little perverted”
“But he gave us a lot of money and good food”
“Iya, I know. I don't hate him. Although his face is unfriendly and likes to cheat, but as long as he is good to children.I will still see him as a good person”.

At the bar, Joel who was alone was finally able to sit quietly after driving the children away. The calmness changed a little.
“Haa~finally I'm alone and..haa...chuuuh!”
Joel went silent without stopping to blink.
“Does anyone curse me huh?”
Joel rubbed his nose and breathed a heavy sigh.
“Haaah! I had to think of a way to go to Sean's place and ask him to fix this ramshackle bar as soon as possible but..haaah.
Joel thought for a moment with a serious face.
‘I really hope Arkan manages to save the three people brought by the couple safely. Besides, I want to know what the face of the guy who killed Justin looks like to cause something like this outside and inside the bar. I hope the smiles of the kids I saw weren't their last smiles’

On the black market, Arkan ran as fast as he could to get to the gate.
‘There or not, obviously I have to make sure first whether they are there or not!’
In front, there was already a black market gate still closed.
-claang
Arkan instantly stopped while holding the gate fence with a breath of breath.
“Haaah..haaah..haaah.
He attempted to catch his breath and pulled the gate slightly to ascertain whether the gate was locked or not.
“Locked. It turns out it is impossible to open it without a key”
The gate does not use a padlock, but the gate key only needs to be inserted into the keyhole on the gate. At first glance, the defense of the gate was indeed very low. But it doesn't seem like a problem since the owner and manager of the place is a killer.
From behind, Seren saw Arkan breathing heavily while carrying Will's head.
“Arkan~” exciting Seren with a relaxed
“Seren...-sama.” Arkan looked back and tried to improve his posture.
“Still locked, right? What I told. The kids are still around this place and haven't come out”
“But...where did they go? Should I go back to Jack-sama's place?”
“Hmm..I don't know either. In addition, I also really want to look for a person named Kaito it”
Seeing Seren who was smiling was happy to make my fur sit Arkan goosebumps. He knew that this woman in front of him wanted to meet Kaito with bad intentions.
‘Come, God! If you are good as the people in the city say to pray to you every morning at the altar, please just this once..do your duty and save us all with my mentality!!’.
