Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 159. Kaito and the Saviour. 3
“The ball that came out was.Kaito-san”'s memory asked Kino with a surprised face.
“Fast. ‘The man’ said that he had seen the ball shine and showed a memory record. Almost all of his memories were visible to him. But, when he saw all the footage.suddenly the jewel ball cracked and broke”.
Kino tries to clarify what Kaito said.
“Could it be..is Kaito-san's memory? Memory of it...spread and go to ‘world’ and other dimensions?”
“True. That's when my whole memory was lost”
“....” both brothers fell silent
“Then, he told me that not long after that my body fell and when he tried to help me...”.
“When he tried to help you?” Ryou became a little tense
“She saw there was a lot of something like entrance to ‘space and time’. ‘The man’ calls it a dimensional portal. Then along with that, he saw my jewel go into it”
“Because of that..Kaito-san can say that your memory piece is in another ‘world’?”
“Become”
This was when Ru Lan told the young man about the pieces of purple gems.
‘Could that be my permission? That's memory? Is that why I can't remember anything and what my name is? Should I ask now?’ the young man could only ask inwardly
“After the gems all disappeared along with the dimensional portal, I brought you inside. That's why you can't say your name or remember everything. I'm sure the footage I saw back then is all your memory and your life journey”
“My life journey...my memory...all that..”.
Hearing this, the young man was quite shocked.
Ru Lan told him about the things that happened during the time she took care of him. He told me that as long as the young man slept, he was always haunted by nightmares. Moreover, his body seemed to have a thing called a curse. Although Ru Lan herself was unsure.
‘Curse?! I have a curse?!’ the young man grew even more shocked but could only shout inwardly
“I myself do not know for sure. It seems that before you get thrown, you experience something that makes you have to lose all your memories. Whether intentionally or not, but I must say thanks to the loss of the gem from you, the wounds on your body began to close”
The young man stood up then snapped at Ru Lan emotionlessly. He forgot the message from Ru Lan before this.
“It's impossible! I still feel the pain! It felt like I was suffocating and my heart was going to stop at any moment! What's improved!!”
“.....” Ru Lan can only be silent with a sad face
“What do you mean by that purple jewel ball is my memory? What do you mean I got thrown from another world? What...” the young man fell silent
Little by little he tried to hold back his emotions. He sat back down and lowered his head.
“I'm sorry I”
“Didn't I just say not to ask and trust me as long as I tell you?” Ru Lan showed a faint smile
“I..I only..”
After being silent for a moment, Ru Lan only closed her eyes for a moment to calm down. Not long after, he opened his eyes and smiled.
“I think for now it's enough. You just woke up anyway. If you continue, you may get worse. We better go back and you should sleep”
“What? What about your explanation? I still haven't heard it all!”
“That's enough. I'll tell you again later. We go back yes” Ru Lan stands up and walks first
“Wait first! I still want to hear it!” the young man shouted
Ru Lan stopped and looked back. He smiled as he said, “we go back first ya”
“……”
The young man could only be silent. He could only give up and say nothing. After that, they really just sat in the dining room while drinking tea.
The day was so bright. After drinking the tea, Ru Lan invited the young man to go around.
“I just stay alone here so don't worry”
“Where are your parents?”
“There is no”
“.....” the young man fell silent again
“Why? Don't be sad like that. It's not your fault they don't exist anymore, right?”
“Why aren't you sad?”
“Hmm..maybe it's been too long by myself so I've forgotten the taste. But I'm glad you came” Ru Lan smiled
That beautiful woman is still a mystery to him. From her clothes, she was like a princess. But judging from his model that was like religious greatness clothes, he might be a religious leader or something.
“What is this house part of a place of worship too? When you told me that, you said you found me while praying, right?”
“True. The outside is a place of prayer. A lot of people came. We'll try to see ya”
“Kita? Now?” the young man was surprised to hear it
“True. Wh why? Your face is handsome so there is no need to worry. Those bandages won't erase your good looks, believe me”
“Don't talk like that! You can be considered a woman is not right if you bring a foreign man before many people!” lads
Ru Lan paused for a moment. After that he turned around and looked at the young man with a very sweet look.
“You...try to steal my heart this huh?”
“...Huh?”
“You've lost your memory, but don't lose your morals too! I don't like handsome perverted men! Basic villain!”
Who would have thought that the beautiful woman named Shirogane Ru Lan was a person who loved to do drama with people who had just woken up from a coma for three days.

At this time, Kino and Ryou who were listening to the story could only put on a flat expression without being able to comment.
Kaito looks back drinking his herbal tea and then opens the sleeping pills on the table.
Ryou started to wake up and called out to him.
“Kaito..”.
“Hmm?” Kaito glanced at her after finishing taking his sleeping pills
“The person who was your helper seemed to have transmitted his strange nature to you”
“I know. But thanks to him I can have the mentality to face people like him”
“Means?”
“You're insinuating me huh?” Ryou felt shunned
“I'm not insinuating you but I'm glad you feel”
“Kaito-san, what about the story again? Can it continue?” ask Kino who is still curious.
“Maybe it can still be a little while waiting for the medicine to react”
Kaito started to tell me back.
“When me and ‘people were’ around, I was quite surprised that his house was so spacious. Almost a quarter of the black market area that Ryou and I have been to”.
“That's broad?!” Ryou was surprised
“I just estimated it though it might be more than that. The house consists of a public place of worship on the front and the house. Therefore I said that my helper was very religious once”
“But you didn't. You can steal at altar” Ryou said
Kaito tried to ignore it. It seemed like she was already quite upset by the comment and pretended not to have heard it.
“In that day I really followed him all day. He took me around his spacious house and I also made his lunch and dinner”
“Because Ru Lan-san asked you to do it?” Kino was a little curious
“No. Because I'm worried about his taste senses”
“……”
“Salt and sugar alone are difficult to distinguish. He has a serious problem with the dosage amount so I don't allow ‘people it’ to touch the kitchen and the pan at all. My first impression of tasting his homemade cooking at that time had made me believe that I should pray to Dewa”
“Kaito-san.it..a little cruel” Kino smiled faintly hearing that.
“But, in the end he can cook with a little struggle and the taste of the cuisine is similar to your delicious homemade cooking. Therefore, I quite like it” Kaito smiled
Kino and Ryou are quite happy to hear a little story about Kaito. Although it is not entirely, but at least there are important clues obtained.
First, they already know that the person who saved Kaito is a person who has magical or magic powers and also comes from a land that is suspected of Japan in the past. Second, they have also learned that Kaito's memory pieces are indeed gems when scattered.
“Kaito-san, if your game is indeed in the form of a whole jewel ball.
Kino asked the right thing. It was a question of the Santa.
“Maybe we have not heard all about Kaito-san's story, but from that explanation it can be concluded that the gem has a number that is not small and must be scattered in all forms. How can you know that the memory has been fully acquired?” Kino continued his sentence and question
“The person said that all can be known from the pocket watch I have”
“Pocket hours owned?” Ryou became astonished
“I once said that this pocket watch has magic or spells from my helper, right?”
“Umm. You said that once, Kaito. Then?”
“If all my memories have been found then I will return to the place where ‘people were. That's what he said before I went”
“You sure that's it?” Ryou slightly did not believe that
“He just said it. I didn't hear anything else so maybe it's true”
It seems likely that Kaito does not know anything else. Perhaps there was still something Shirogane Ru Lan had hidden in Kaito. At least, that was all that existed in the minds of the two brothers.
But without evidence and unfinished stories, they decided not to draw conclusions too soon.
“I'll tell you about it little by little. I hope with this, you can be a little calm and not so curious anymore” continued Kaito
“No, this is enough. At the very least, we can guess that Shirogane Ru Lan-san is likely from Japan or a place that adheres to the culture of our country”
Hearing that, Kaito was a little relieved that he was already able to open up with the two of them. At least, he had already realized that the two people did indeed have their own value for him.
He remembered one thing his savior had said before.
***
The night before Kaito decided to go look for his memory pieces, he sat alone on the balcony looking at the stars. Ru Lan walked up to him while bringing him some warm tea.
“Not sleeping?” ask Kaito about the girl
“Not yet. I always sleep at night. Not forgetting, right?”
“You're right. You're pretty wild”
“Not funny” Ru Lan pouted
“I'm also not kidding” Kaito replied with a flat face
Ru Lan looked at Kaito with a face full of anxiety.
“Kaito...you will go tomorrow?”
“Faster, better right? I want to find her. I want to know who I really am and why the pieces of my memory are gone. Isn't that better?”
Hearing that, Rulan's expression turned into a sweet smile. He realized Kaito was already confident in his determination and no longer needed to worry about anything.
“New sword and cape already brought?”
“Sudah”
“I've given my magic to both of those things as well. So they won't be separated from you” Ru Lan smiled
Kaito was silent and looked at the starry sky at that moment. Ru Lan suddenly said something shocking.
“You know what?”
“Hmm?”
“I'm sure you'll meet a lot of people later. And when that time comes, you will find a person you can trust”
“……”
“People who will save you and people who can help you. When that comes, then you will be reluctant to part with him and understand that you are no longer alone. Then, you will know that destiny will always lead you to the right thing”
“Do you think I can meet someone like that?”
“Certainly can”
***
Right now, Kaito who was holding his teacup started to smile.
‘You're right, Lan. I have found such a person in another world. If this is the destiny you mean.then I want this destiny to always lead me to the right thing’.
