Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 109. A New Problem Called Meeting
“I don't have time to listen to your explanation, Arkan!. Give an answer in 5 words strung together into a sentence..now!”
Arkan who is still loyal to hold the bag of provisions in his hand tried to calm his mind which is still difficult to calm down.
“Good. Listen to me carefully. Kaito's life is in danger now, satisfied?”
Ryou gets an answer from Arkan according to his wishes.5 words strung together into a sentence. Of course the person called Arkan became shocked and confused.
“What do you mean, mr bartender?” Kaito asked with a confused expression
“Jadi–“
Not finished stringing up the continuation of the explanation, Arkan's sentence was cut first by Fabil.
“Arkan-niichan, that woman..he who attacked Kino-niichan and made her hurt like this!!”
Ryou who heard that must have known that the person who had hurt his brother was the woman in front of him. He was already very emotional and tried to hold himself back as Kaito directly held onto his arm to keep him from acting rashly.
“Do not start, Ryou. He's as dangerous as I told you” whispered Kaito
“But he already hurt my brother!” Ryou replied with a hateful look
“I want to hear an explanation from the bartender about the woman's speech. You better listen to it before acting”
“You think I'll wait for–“
“You should be able to learn to read the situation, Ryou. Looks like the woman appreciates the words of the bartender master enough not to attack us right now. You better take it this time” said Kaito who strengthened his grip on Ryou's arm
Arkan understood this difficult situation. He still did not understand some things so he tried to say all the things he knew quickly.
“Don't cut my talk first! I'm here looking for those two kids because Justin's body can free them and cancel all his other transactions”
“That means these two kids can go back home to the bar?” kaito asked with a calm face
“True. At least that's what I–“
“But we came here to free the three people they brought” Ryou firmly and emotions instantly cut off Arkan's words
Just less than 15 seconds Arkan reminded them not to cut the conversation and now Ryou has done it. Even so, the thing Ryou emphasized made sense. Because actually, that's what Arkan wants to discuss.
“I know that we originally intended to exchange the three of them for Justin's corpse but…I'm still a little curious about the end result because Jack-sama just said those two kids who came back instead of the three” Arkan tried to explain in a panic
“That means this exchange does not take place as you wish, so you mean?” Kaito began to stare intently at Arkan's panicked face
Arkan's explanation began to ignite Ryou's emotions up and in a fit of annoyance he started walking and pulled out his sword.
“Ma–want what are you with your weapon, Ryou?” asked Arkan with a pale face and grew increasingly panicked
“I'll cut the woman's neck”
“Oi!!”
“She has hurt my sister and–“
Kaito blocks her by drawing out his sword as well and smoothing it towards Ryou.
“I told you to stay calm, Ryou. This is a serious matter and in front of us there are people who are much stronger than us. I'm still responsible for your safety and Kino's so don't make me work beyond my means”
Kaito has run out of ways to tell Ryou subtly because the teenager's emotions are already unstoppable.
Seeing that, Stelani and Fabil became very scared and approached Ryou.
“Ryou-niisan, please calm yourself. He's dangerous! You need to calm down! Remember, we have to save Kino-niisan”
“You need to calm down, Ryou-niichan!”
“.....” Ryou did not see the two children at all
Kaito did not lower his sword and asked Arkan.
“Master bartender, I heard that the woman wanted to see me. What does that mean?”
“Itu–“
“Nee, Arkan..have finished talking yet? I want to meet your friend that”
From the back of Arkan, Seren called out to him as he felt impatient. Arkan's face increasingly looked unwell and answered the woman.
“Don't move from there, Seren-sama. Please wait a minute!”
“Hmm..
Kaito started glancing at the woman who threw a sweet smile and greeted her with a wave of hands. Now, Kaito looked at Arkan back with a cynical look.
“Tell me” urged Kaito
“You killed that gatekeeper, didn't you?”
“Not me, but both of us. It was Ryou and I who did it” Kaito replied firmly
“But you cut off his head, right?”
“It's true”
“The woman's devil would love to talk to you about it. Ever since you killed Justin, he'd love to...me–me–know you closer?”
“You want to match me with the devil?” ask Kaito in a tinge
“Not that I mean!”
Enough of the bases, Kaito immediately walked over and whispered something to Arkan.
“Mr bartender, we want to get our badly injured friend out of here. Take care of these two kids and think about the best way you've got”
“What?! You're nuts! I still don't know the outcome of the exchange I just made! Moreover, the key to the gate was on that female demon! It's not easy getting out of here without a key!”
“Then think of a way to get the key”
“Ka–“
Kaito leaves Arkan and talks to Ryou.
“I want you to focus on how to get us all out”
“You can't stop me killing him” Ryou replied in an angry tone
“But your brother's safety should be more important. Remember that you still have to bow down and cry in front of him”
While continuing to put on a cold face and raise his vigilance, Kaito walked up to the woman.
Keeping his distance, Kaito who was still tightly grasping his sword asked the woman. Seren greeted her with a smile while Kaito responded with a hostile face.
“I heard you wanted to see me. Is there something you want to say?”
Seren who was smiling happily and looking blushing finally ran over to him. However, not long after, Kaito pointed his sword at the woman with a cold gaze.
“Eh?” the woman was shocked
“Do not try to approach me more than this or I will take decisive action!”
“What...you named Kaito?” asked the woman with a smile that was still not missing from her face
“Let's just say I walked to see you at this distance because I'm the one you're looking for. Now, tell me what you want from me?”
Seren raised Will's head and flipped it over to reveal a scraping mark on his bottom.
“This is you doing it?” asked Seren in a pleased tone
Instantly, the two children immediately hugged Arkan out of fear. Arkan himself felt more and more that his mentality had fallen.
‘She really is out of her mind!’ Arkan cursed Seren in the heart
Ryou who saw that became an emotion returned. He still vividly remembered the children's explanation of Kino's injuries and what he did to her.
Kaito is not surprised by what the woman is doing, ever since he finds out that he is dealing with a human-shaped demon.
“Why? You want revenge because I killed your employee?”
“Eh~why should I be angry and want revenge? I want you to know that I really praise your work this”
Hearing that, Ryou and Kaito couldn't hold back their emotions.
“You even consider your own employee's life to be that low? It turns out you really are a demon!” Kaito could not hide his anger
Seeing Kaito's reaction and face, Seren gets even happier and starts walking closer to him. It was unexpected that it instantly triggered Kaito. He quickly swung his sword to stop Seren's footsteps.
The woman quickly dodged Kaito's sword and without realizing it, she had been standing in front of Kaito with a smile on her face. His movements are completely unaware by the views of Kaito who is used to fighting in ‘world night’.
Of course Kaito realized that the woman was avoiding his sword, yet he really did not see which way the woman dodged until he suddenly appeared right in front of her. A beautiful smile and a blushing pink color adorned her face.
“Your movement is good once~” praise Seren
Kaito who did not expect it immediately jumped back with a face of shock. Not only Kaito, Ryou who saw that could not hide his surprised expression.
“How–“
Arkan who hugged the two children did not blink at all to witness this.
‘This is what a professional killer calls! Even he easily broke through Kaito's defense and could be in front of him just like that without any effort! Lothawat! This proves that he can really kill us easily!’ arkan muttered inwardly with a panicked face
Kaito who started observing the woman could not stop staring at her footsteps.
‘It turns out to be true my guess, his footsteps made no sound at all. In front of us, the gate was so close. Kino should be able to be saved before it's too late’ Kaito thinks inwardly
He began to look at the woman seriously and tried to talk to her.
“Is it true that you are named Seren, the wife of this place manager?”
“True, my name is Seren. And this is William, Will's call when he was alive” he replied as he showed the head he held
“I would like to ask you about the exchange that we proposed to you as the person who signed the contract with Justin. Can you tell me the results?”
“Result? Shouldn't Arkan have told you?”
“I want to hear it directly from you. Even mister bartender, I mean even Arkan still has questions about the contents of the exchange. So I want to know everything from you as one of the managers of this place”
“Eh? Arkan still doesn't know everything? Is that right, Arkan?” Seren asked Arkan by raising his voice
Arkan looked at Seren and nodded. He began to tell all the conclusions he had heard before running away from Jack's room.
“A–initially before meeting Seren-sama, I wanted to go back to Jack-sama's place and ask about the result. I remember Jack-sama just mentioned that these two children could get out of this place and the rest of the transaction would be wiped out. Te–but, from the very beginning I said that I wanted to exchange Justin-sama's body with the three people you brought including the teenager who was inside this cart”
Seren glanced at the wagon near Arkan.
“Gosh, I totally ignored that. I thought it was cadaver”
Seren's sentence had already provoked Ryou's emotions and he quickly ran while swinging his sword.
“Ryou!” Kaito yells at Ryou who has attacked Seren
Seren avoided the swing of the sword. But when he tried to kick Ryou's body, Ryou quickly dodged and pulled out the dagger he was carrying and intended to use the kick to stab Seren's calf.
Of course the attack did not hurt Seren because the woman quickly changed the direction of his kick. He kicked Ryou's hand until his dagger was thrown. After which, Seren spins around and kicks Ryou's body. The kick hit his stomach.
-bruuk
“Akh!!”
Ryou's down. Stelani and Fabil yell and run towards Ryou but it is prevented by the frantic Arkan.
“His ability is not bad but he is emotional. I don't like people whose emotions are out of control” muttered Seren in a soft voice
Kaito had just wanted to approach Ryou, from behind came a voice calling out to them.
“All of you, stop!”
Everyone who was shocked heard him looked back, while Seren who was looking towards the front smiled widely with what he saw. Two people were approaching their position.
One of them runs up to Ryou and Kaito. This man is no stranger to them.
“You guys, please stop this now!”
“R–Riz?!” Kaito was surprised by the person who approached him
- Deg
Kaito sees an ominous aura around the person behind Riz. That wide smile made Kaito feel that this was an unfortunate moment for him.
“Even during the day like this, my luck is as bad as being stuck in ‘world night’. Unfinished face female demon.it turns out other demons have appeared”.
