Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 246. Jewels and Transactions bag. 2
In the white light, something appeared.
“This..where?”
Kaito sees himself on the other side of the forest. He realized that in front of him was a little boy he knew.
“It...me? Where am I in this memory going?”
Kaito followed the little boy. He ran somewhere. When he arrived, Kaito heard the sound of water.
‘river?’ figured
While passing through the bush and the grass of the forest, Kaito finally saw the little boy or arguably his other self in the memory approaching the teenager he saw in memory.
“It...” Kaito is speechless.
Kaito sees his other self along with the teenager. There was a feeling of being no stranger in Kaito. He was clearly aware of and knew who the teenager was, but still could not explain it because the memories he had obtained must have not been completely complete.
In his previous memories, the teenager's face looked distant. But this time, Kaito could see it up close. Even so, it didn't change anything because his face this time was faint.
Like a void on his face, Kaito was unable to see the teenager's real face.
“His face..maybe because the contents of this piece are not about him? Then, what kind of memory is this?”
In the river, the teenager was cleaning his body. He was not aware of the presence of the child nearby. Until finally when he stood up and put his clothes back on, he saw a little boy by the river.
“You again...” he said with a smile.
There was a conversation he heard as Kaito approached the two.
“Why come again? Here are many monsters that can eat a human child alive”
“Why didn't you come to my village? It's safer there and no monsters eat humans alive?” the boy asked the teenager
The teenager just smiled as he rubbed his head. From his age, Kaito just guessed he might still be around the age of 20.
‘What is this? I didn't lie when I knew him, but I don't remember his face. That faint face..is it because the pieces are still incomplete?’ kaito thought to himself
Kaito looked at what the boy was doing with the teenager more closely.
“You've been in this place for two days, do you not want to stop by my village? There's plenty of food in there?” said the boy
The teenager who had finished with his clothes and weapons began to kneel. He looked at the boy.
“You're pretty chatty ya”
“Since you never want to answer me correctly”
“What makes you so interested in a person who has nothing like me?”
“You are strong!!”
Kaito was surprised. The face of the child who allegedly himself was so excited and sparkling when praising the teenager before him. Not only that, he seemed to idolize her.
“I don't know..Was I like that a long time ago? Is this really not someone else's memory?”
Now Kaito doubts his own memory.
Kaito looks at the memory with a strange face but eventually he returns to his calm self.
“Quiet, quiet..this is an important part of your memory. Although you don't know for what this memory is shown, but there might be something in it”
Kaito started listening back.
The teenager kneeling before the little boy laughed happily.
“Ahahaha, thank you. I am glad to hear that compliment. Hey, you've been following me ever since I killed that giant serpent. I still don't know what your name is”
“My name $&^&. What's your name, brother?”
The teenager smiled. The words that came out on her lips made Kaito so surprised. He heard clearly what the name of the teenager was.
As soon as he heard it, Kaito cried without realizing it. Tears came out and she looked so red.
A light appeared and forced him to leave the memory record.

Kaito looked back at what was in front of him. He saw three young men he knew. However, strangely the gaze was filled with teardrops. Kaito just realized that he was crying.
“Kaito!”
“Kaito-san?! Are you okay?”
“Hey, can you hear me? Suddenly the jewel in my brooch entered your body and you began to fall silent! Can you hear me?”
It was Kino, Ryou and Xenon. From his face, Kaito saw them worried. His mouth wanted to say something but he was still quite shocked by the memories he saw.
His initial intention was to say that he was okay, another sentence was uttered from his lips.
“Adler...Klaue.
“Hah? Kaito, are you talking about something?” Ryou is confused by Kaito's words
Realizing that he was saying something unbelievable, Kaito wiped his tears and started trying to look fine.
“I'm sorry. I...do not mean to make you worry”
“Kaito-san.
Kino doesn't believe him. He clearly doesn't look okay. His face was pale and the occasional tear came out from both of his eyes. Kaito's not okay and they know it.
Xenon who was shocked and worried some time ago saw his elbow brooch.
‘The purple gem on this brooch is disappearing. It turns out that way. It was indeed his memory and only he knew it’
‘I could not believe it, but as soon as a light suddenly enveloped and Kaito suddenly went silent despite being called
by all of us signifies she is looking at her memory’
‘Dimensional explorer for the sake of getting his memory yes. But this is real and they are in front of my eyes’
Xenon's eyes widened. He realized.
“You are still here..” he said.
The three teenagers saw it. They only realized it after calming down. The three of them were still sitting in front of Xenon.
“The three of you are still here. The gem on my brooch is gone but you're still here. That means there's still another gem of Kaito's in my world”
“Xenon-san's right. That means..”
“We can still continue our cooperation” said Xenon confidently
Surprising. More than one gem in the same ‘world’. There is another destiny that brings all three in ‘world’ where they are now.
“I didn't think I could continue. To be honest, I was already very afraid of what happened when the gem entered Kaito's body. But I trust you guys completely. It will be interesting” Xenon smile
Ryou seemed to be a little irritated by that smile.
“Slight information for you, son of Marquis.this is not a joke”.
“I know. But a deal is still a deal. I'll help you and you'll have to help me. If indeed this works, maybe the problem we face is related to you guys also”
The three looked at each other and nodded.
“I won't change my mind. We will help you in solving the case in this place”
Xenon took the eagle brooch and looked at it.
‘Rexa-sama, although without decoration.but this will still be a precious object for me’.
The situation began to change and now Xenon explained everything the Magic School Academy faced completely to the three otherworldly teenagers.
