Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 21. Gems in the Night World bag. 6
Kaito ran forward to attack the satyr first. Kaito's sword began to be directed to slash at the creature. Of course, the satyrs did not remain silent. He shouted with his red eyes misguided and began to prepare for a fist punch by clenching his hands.
-TLAAA
Kaito's sword couldn't hurt him at all. The loud sound of Kaito's sword sounded. Only with his bare hands did the satyr manage to suppress him.
“I was expecting an attack from the front did not work. But don't you think I didn't think of any other way!”
Kaito pulled his sword back and jumped to the side. The satyr's eyes followed Kaito's movements so he was unaware of Ryou's sudden attack from the front. Ryou who turned out
following behind Kaito as he ran, attacked him with a slash as his eyes followed Kaito's direction of motion.
“Taste this, goat!!!” Ryou shouted while swinging his sword
-SHAAAT
The attack was carried out by Ryou. Unlike Kaito who attacked to distract him, Ryou's attack felt like he was indeed aiming for a certain body part. He tried to cut his stomach. However, it only seemed to slash the stomach. In reality, Ryou's sword did not injure his stomach at all. That may not have been expected of him.
“Hah!! Good for the size of the goat. Your meat is definitely not tender if cooked!”
The satyr restrained Ryou's attack by twisting his body slightly to the right so that his right waist was hit by the sword incision and it wasn't a deep wound either.
He tried to attack her again and the same thing always happened. The attack from Ryou no one made a meaningful wound for him. The body of the creature seemed to harden on the part that was attacked so as not to make scratches at all.
“Cih!”
Feeling that the threat from the front felt so close, with a sudden movement the satyr immediately kicked Ryou hard.
“Gagh!!” Ryou was hit by his kick but he did not crash backwards
Blood came out of his mouth with a not small amount. As it turned out, the reason Ryou managed to hold him back was because he used his sword in a horizontal position as a restraint. His feet were trying not to be pushed and of course, his eyes that showed anger were flaming up.
“You...don't you think I don't know about..your sudden kick, damn goat!! That's what..you did to my brother when he wasn't in a fighting condition!!”
Ryou looks in pain but his emotions cannot be hidden. He was so angry looking at the satyr in front of him that despite the serious injuries and blood continuing to flow, he seemed to have paid no heed to it.
The Satyr also had no intention of letting the threat too close to him live.As soon as the kick was done he immediately clenched his left hand to punch Ryou who could not move due to the previous attack.
And once again, Kaito who was already behind the creature jumped up and slashed his neck without the satyr noticing it.
SLAAAASH
- Clues
His head fell and rolled to the ground. Followed by the fall of the large creature's body and the sound of Kaito's feet landing very elegantly. Ryou instantly became limp and used his sword stuck on the ground as his body support.
“Good switch, Ryou. I know your fighting skills and determination can be useful on the battlefield. You're amazing” Kaito put his sword in and stretched out his hand to help Ryou
Ryou looks at Kaito with shining eyes and a sweet smile while calling the name “Kaito” from his mouth. Then he shook his hand while shouting.
“Stupid basis!!”
“….Huh?”
“What's ‘hah’?! Why did you kill that damn goat?! You said yourself no matter what happens, we have to buy time to survive until sunrise. But you killed yourself!! You don't know how big of a wound that damn goat gave me, do you? Now how are you going to be responsible for killing his goat?!”
Ryou instantly uses his spicy mouth that is still bleeding to vent his emotions on Kaito. And Kaito's answer is like it will worsen his level of luck regardless of Ryou's tantrums.
“Aa! Youre right. I forgot it”
Kaito's expressionless calm face made Ryou's emotions peak.
“Don't give me that shitty face of yours and say you forgot so easily!! You've probably been used to fighting for 12 hours non-stop. But this is the first time in 12 hours of my life, I have to risk everything I have to fight a brainless ugly creature like them! You really want me and Kino to die in your place huh?!”
At first glance anyone would think that Ryou was unharmed and still had more energy to fight.
“I completely forgot. My instinct to kill them when I get the chance I can't stop. I really didn't mean to involve the two of you, I told you right?”
“Stop defending yourself, you villain!!” Ryou turns his body and goes to approach Kino
“......It will not end easily.....”.
“And it's all because of you!! If there's a court at ‘world tonight’, I'll sue you now, Kaito!! I'll make sure you're exposed to a layered chapter because of your stupidity!!”
“Haah Kaito could only sigh and walk towards the two of them
Ryou inserted his sword and took a deep breath while enduring the pain. She tries to hold Kino back, but is held back by Kaito who says, “let me do it”
“……”
Ryou does not respond but he follows Kaito's words. Kaito carried Kino on his back carefully. When Kino had been held, Kaito just remembered something that he had not confirmed.
“Ryou, can you see the pocket watch Kino has in his pants pocket? See what time it is?”
Ryou took it slowly and he was silent for a moment. He pulled his hand from the pocket of Kino's pants with a pocket watch in his hand, but his expression became solemn.
“.....Kaito, inside here is your memory gem. Don't you want to take her with you? This is the most appropriate opportunity for you to be able to escape from ‘world tonight’”
Ryou's emotions a moment ago disappeared instantly and now their topic of conversation was a little heavy. Ryou asked with a serious face and Kaito replied smilingly.
“This is not a good time for me. I owe so much to the two teenagers I met by accident last night. I also still have to protect them until they make it out of this place. Although it turns out I actually involved them in serious problems”
“……”
“In addition, I've been given one slap in appreciation, so I have to do my responsibility well” Kaito looks at Ryou with a big smile
At the last reply that was adorned with a smile by the sincere-looking Kaito was like a sarcastic answer to Ryou. It is certain that their nature is very similar.
Ryou looks at the pocket watch and the time shows at 05:23. There are 37 minutes left until sunrise. The remaining half an hour in there felt really long. Moreover, they still had not breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at the watch, Ryou kept the watch in his pants pocket. They immediately ran away from the place.
“Ukh.. “ Ryou withholds pain on his body while running
Ryou running speed slowed down slowly. Kaito who realized that deliberately reduced his speed and adjusted his running rhythm to align with it.
“You're really seriously injured huh? I thought it was just a joke”
“Don't be crazy! I'm not a character in an overpowering manga who can heal himself with some kind of unique ability. You have to feel the goat kick yourself if you are curious. No wonder Kino until now has not realized”
“It's precisely because I've felt it myself, so I can know as sick as to what it is. But for those of you who receive such a hard kick and still have the energy to berate maki and still be able to run already shows you the potential of eternal life”
“You're looking for trouble ya”
“I just praise you, Ryou. Kino will be surprised when I tell your heroic story later. Trust”
“……”
Ryou starts thinking of giving one of his boxing delayed when he manages to survive this night‘ ’world.
**
They ran aimlessly for quite a long time. Quite surprising ‘world night’ has not sent ‘ uninvited guests’ more than ten minutes passed. It was quite profitable for them for a while. However, they are still not out of critical times.
With all the injuries on the body and barely any supplies left, the only thing to do for over half an hour was to hide. They have to find the best hiding place they can find to buy time.
Moreover, they did not know what creatures would appear to entertain the rest of their luck there.
“Still strong running?”
“...I'm not sure. But stopping now won't help much either. Because of that.. haa..haa.” Ryou tried to run with a breath of breath
Ryou's face grew increasingly pale. His running speed was slowing down and continued to slow down to look like a person who was warming up running. Kaito had no other choice but to stop at the empty building they met in front of later.
“My body can only carry one person. If you pass out too, I can't fight freely to protect you. We stop at the empty building on the left in front. After that, I take care of the rest”
“……”
Ryou did not know what he heard or felt. Now his entire body started to numb bit by bit. Her steps were truly like she was walking right now and only waited for time until she lost consciousness completely.
Eventually, they arrived in front of an empty building with no doors and windows with withered vines and roots that had covered most of the building. They got in there slowly deeper.
Kaito laid Kino's body in the very corner of the room. Not long after, Ryou who was behind Kaito instantly fell unconscious.
-bruuk
Kaito looked back and saw Ryou who was unconscious. He carried and laid his body right next to Kino. Kaito saw the situation of the two of them. Kino's body looked better and the wounds on his head had already closed, the scratches all over his body also closed back. It's just that when examining both hands, Kaito realized the fracture on his right hand had not healed.
“It looks like the amount of medicine taken is too little. Therefore his broken bones did not undergo healing”
On the other hand, he started to check on Ryou's condition. He could see Ryou's face turning pale. From his mouth he could still see blood coming out even though not much.
“I still can't believe he can still get angry even running while maintaining his consciousness so far. He's really desperate. A normal person would instantly die if doing something like this”
Kaito fingered Ryou's chest. He could tell that two of his ribs were broken from holding back a hard kick from the previous satyrs and the wound in his stomach was also due to resisting the same attack, so he vomited a lot of blood. Plus he is still desperate and acts as if everything is okay while running and trying to hold his brother, of course now Ryou's condition is approaching a critical condition now.
If not for his frustration at the creature that attacked his older brother, he would not have fought and forced himself to this extent.
“When ‘world noon’ comes, I will let you hit me in the face once again, Ryou. Anyway, I take full responsibility for all the injuries you and your brother received”
Kino stroked the hair of the two teenagers who were fainting with a sad look as if holding back miserably.
“You don't know how lucky I am to have met you two. I'm sorry I made you guys have to be like this. I'm sorry”
He realizes that Ryou's condition is the most to watch out for. They no longer had any supplies of medicine at all. Kaito checked Kino's cloth bag and he found only four antidotes that could not be used at a time like this. In addition, Ryou's cloth bag was also not much different. Now only Kaito is awake and with the rest of his strength, he is responsible for three lives including his own.
Kaito looked at his pocket watch and saw the time it showed.
“05.40 yes. Didn't think ‘world night’ had boredom with my life after everything that happened”
Kaito started looking at Kino. In his heart, there were many feelings that raised many questions.
‘I did not expect the thing I was looking for so far turned out to be in ‘world malam’ and now I have got it with their help. Is this destiny?. Was it impossible from the beginning to find the gem alone?’
The question that kept enveloping his heart continued to exist in his mind. Only if it's true that he has time for it. In reality, the rest of the time still has to make him alert. As long as the night is not over yet, ‘world night’ will be the place to survive.
Kaito continued to look at the direction of his pocket watch for a few seconds until he finally put it back in his cloak pocket.
“Only just in case..I will borrow this all”.
He picked up the sword that was in the belt and cloth bag that Ryou had, did something with it all and brought his sword with him. Kaito stood up and took out his sword. With two swords in his hands and a sharp eye he turned and walked out of the building. After outside the building, he directly faces left and has a lot of ‘tamu’ waiting.
“I've guessed ‘the world of night’ is getting tired of my life. Sending them all in large quantities just to take things that are not yours is called rob”
The waiting guests were a group of [Ogres], large brownish-colored creatures about two meters tall, carrying large batons that looked heavy, glowing red eyes with fangs upwards. They like humans, therefore they like to kill and eat human corpses without remaining.
“Yo..welcome to our last party. I hope after this I won't see you guys again for forever”
