Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 147. Beautiful Gem and Soul bag. 8
At this time, at the bar.
Joel's story is pretty heartwarming. Kino let out a tear and hugged Theo who happened to be close to her.
“Congratulations because you guys get good parents”
“.....” Theo flushed in shame
Seeing Theo being hugged by Kino, the other children came up to him and hugged him. They look so happy.
“Kino-niisan, don't cry” Stelani said
“I don't cry because I'm sad. These are happy tears. I'm happy for you guys too. Congratulations yes, Stelani-chan”
“Kino-niisan..”.
Again, they all hugged and lived happily. No, it seems they just hugged.
Unlike the moved Kino, Ryou sees Joel with a look of pity.
“Uncle manager, you babysit them all but ignored until the show is over by then? Is your mind okay?”
“You are not moved by my story filled with tears?” ask Joel
“I feel sorry for you at the end of the story. I wanted to cry but not be”
“.....” Joel is speechless with a strange face
In his heart, he muttered.
‘He's Kino's sister, right? Why does it look more like that little boy? His mouth was just as cruel. I'm sure something wasn't right when her mother gave birth to her. Or maybe they're real siblings’
Kaito who was listening just fell silent while staring at Theo. During hugging, her necklace pendulum was completely invisible because it was covered in the collar of her clothes. He started thinking about saying that important thing.
Every now and then, he nudged onto Ryou's leg sitting beside him. Ryou looked over and realized that. He patted Kino on the shoulder once and he looked up.
“How?” whispered Ryou
Kino wiped her tears and started to look serious. He glances at Theo and sees Kaito back.
“Kaito-san..” Kino calls Kaito with a serious face
It seemed like the decision was already unanimous and Kaito chose to say the intent of his goal to that place.
“Theo...” Kaito calls Theo who is near Kino
“Yes? What's up, Kaito-nii?”
“I want to know if your necklace is–”
“I've made fried chicken and meat soup. We eat first ya”
Before Kaito resumed his sentence, Maggy came with food. Of course, all the children came to him happily.
“Kino-nii, I'll help Maggy-mama first”
“Ah...Theo-kun.
Theo immediately stood up and went to help Maggy bring the dishes and food. Stelani and Fabil arranged the bar table and chairs to be like a dining table while others went to the kitchen to bring other food menus.
Ryou glanced at Kaito who still looked serious looking at Theo, then he whispered to Kino.
“How now?”
“I think we should wait until the moment is right. We can't possibly destroy a happy moment like this” replied Kino with a doubtful look
The two brothers saw Kaito. Although it took him a few seconds, yet he finally noticed the gaze and smiled as he said in a soft tone.
“I'm fine. We can wait a minute”
“.....” the two teenagers were silent to hear it
A warm moment surrounds the bar. The three of them gathered in the midst of the children's happiness with their new family.
It was not intended to destroy the beautiful moment, but it seemed like the three of them were still unfamiliar with the circumstances. Plus, their goal now was not to have lunch together.
Because of the strangeness possessed by the three teenagers, they really did not eat anything. The first drink drunk by them is as a form of manners in a guest.
“Why not eat? Does it not suit your taste?” maggy asked the three of them
“Do not think of us, you can spend it” Kino replied with a smile
“But didn't you just get out of the hospital? Eating a lot is important. Let's eat” Maggy started forcing
He immediately took the soup and chicken meat for the three. Again, they were forced to eat one to three mouthfuls as a form of manners.
Ryou muttered in his heart.
‘My stomach is nauseous. I really don't need to eat now’
Kaito put his fork on the plate and started talking seriously. It's like he can't put it off for too long.
“Sorry, I didn't mean to ruin this happiness. But, I..no, the three of us can't continue to be in this place”
“......!!” The Yuki brothers were surprised
All the children, including the adults, were silent. They stopped eating for a while and asked.
“What's Kaito? Why so serious?” ask Arkan who happened to be sitting nearby
“Theo, I want to talk to you” Kaito directly looked at Theo and called him without further ado
“There...what...Kaito-nii?”
For some reason, suddenly Theo was afraid.
‘Why this? This feeling feels heavy. Since Kaito-nii helped us all, I have never felt as much fear as the first time I saw him. Why now, suddenly I feel it again?’ he murmured in the heart
“Kaito-san..” Kino can only call her in a slow voice.
Ryou started using his critical mind.
‘Do Kaito! We must get away from this weird ‘world’ soon! Although...we may have to part with you.but the possibility of that is still uncertain!! The number of missing pieces remains unknown. But since this one is clear in plain sight, it is time to pick it up without delay!’
“Theo, sorry in advance. Maybe everything I've told you guys is hard to accept. But.. I want mine back”
“Owns...’mikku’ is what does it mean, Kaito? What happened?” Joel was confused
“Before, I wanted to explain who I am to you. I am a person who comes from a different place with this city”
“……”
“Kaito-niichan, what does that mean? You guys don't live here, do you?” ask Michaela
“I am not from here, but I mean the world. I come from a different ‘world’. Or maybe a different dimension to yours. Can say I am a space and time traveler”
“.....” all speechless
None of them blinked. For just a few seconds, all the children laughed when they heard him. Even Joel and Maggy laughed at it.
Only one person thought it was a serious thing, Arkan. He saw Kaito's eyes. Coupled with the look on Kino and Ryou's face that shows that it is not a joke.
‘They..maybe..’ think Arkan.
“Kaito, you're so funny. Ahahaha~” Joel laughs
The three teenagers were silent with serious expressions. Not long after that, Kino started talking.
“Joel-san, I know you guys might find it hard to believe what Kaito-san said. But, I hope you will listen to our explanation”
Instantly things became quiet. The kids are panicking a little now. They believed so much in Kino that the teenager's serious face had enough of an impact on them now.
“Kino-niichan..it was just a joke, right? It's not serious, is it?” Fabil asked Kino
“I'm sorry” Kino can only be bowed
Kaito continued his conversation.
“I came from a different ‘world’ with this place. My name you know is just a call because I lost my memory”
“Eh?”
“I lost all my memories scattered into a purple gem and scattered throughout ‘world’ and the foreign dimension that I had never been to. One of them is this place”
“.....” all speechless with pale faces
Theo instantly became extremely pale while clasping the collar of his clothes.
‘Gem...ungu..’.
Kaito saw Theo. The child's face looked so frightened and filled with anxiety.
“The purple eyes I saw on Theo. I sacrificed a lot to get it. And I'm making music to ask him back”
-braak
Joel hits the table to stop Kaito's explanation.
“Kaito, I think you started ruining this lunchtime” Joel looked at Kaito with a cynical look
“Joel-san, forgive us. We...”
Kino tries to calm Joel's emotions, but the big man cuts the conversation off right away before it's over. Now, she doesn't want to focus on anyone else but Kaito.
“I don't mean to doubt you, but this joke is already outrageous. Besides, I don't really understand what you're saying that you're from another world or whatever it is”
“Do I need to provide real proof?” Kaito begins to challenge Joel
“If you have, then prove”
Kaito. It's not like he really has any real evidence right now. At first it was just bluffing, but now it is he who is being cornered.
It could be said that Kaito actually has no concrete evidence and that is exactly what happened.
‘Stupid basis! What are you saying, Kaito! That's real proof we don't have! Even if you make a pocket watch as proof, the watch does not have magic like the others! It's not gonna be easy. Plan failed! How's this!’ Ryou muttered with a panicked face
Feeling all circumstances being out of his control, Kino tried to do something with it.
“Joel-san, we apologize for being disrespectful and destroying this beautiful atmosphere. But, our goal is to discuss about Theo-kun”'s gem
“Kino-nii..” Theo looked shocked
“To be honest, we can't directly show you the evidence because of some things. But we're not lying about it. Ryou and I do not feel from the same place as Kaito-san or this place. We both came from a country called Japan”
“Japan?” Arkan was confused
“True. Country Japan. That country never existed on this continent, right?”
“....” Joel is silent
He started to sit down and look at Kino. Ever since hearing the children like and trust her so much, Joel has little reason to take Kino's words as a joke. But, he would also not take all of that seriously until he saw all of the evidence himself.
“Me and Ryou are from Japan. We got to this place because of the element of accident and were looking for a way back to Japan. While our meeting with Kaito-san was purely an accident because of something dangerous back then”
At that table, Kino finally said honestly. All his meetings with Kaito, the problem of the goblin attack, the existence of ‘both worlds’ and looping, all told without anything missed.
Ryou just kept quiet without refuting or cutting off the story of the older brother, while Kaito continued to look serious while staring at Theo's hand which held his pendulum necklace behind the collar of clothes.
For approximately 45 minutes Kino told about their journey to find out about the jewels belonging to Kaito.
Arkan looks pale and Maggy can only keep her mouth shut for not believing all that. All children
the little one started to get scared and tremble. Then, Joel who was silent while looking emotional.
“Omong empty!!” snapped Joel
“That's the truth we're experiencing. We're not lying. Even honestly the three of us have a weirdness in us since coming to this place” Kino tried to convince Joel
‘Keanehan?’ Arkan started to realize something
He remembers Jack coming to the bar saying something to Joel. Of course Arkan who was near Jack heard that clearly.
[It has no specific purpose. We just want to meet them. But, we did intend to find out more about them. Since the oddities in their bodies still cannot be explained by the common sense of demons like us]
“Manager..” Arkan calls Joel with a pale face.
Joel looked at Arkan with an angry expression, but it was not feared by Arkan. Precisely the words from his mouth that now makes Joel panic.
“Manager, do you remember what Jack-sama said about Kino and Kaito when he came to the bar? It's obvious that Jack-sama said that he wanted to know more about the weirdness of the teenager's body because black market demons like them just don't know it”
- Deg
Joel became pale. The kids are getting scared too. Some chose to hug Stelani and Fabil, there was a child who hugged their new mother, Maggy.
“We...have no body scent and have no drowsiness since we came to this place”
