Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 251. Night and the Topic of the Problem Within
That night, Xenon entered his room looking at the eagle brooch in his hand that was no longer inscribed with a reddish-purple gem.
“In the end this brooch returned to be a thing that does not mean” mumbled slowly
There was almost nothing special in Xenon's memories that he wanted to display. Like keeping the important things tight like a Pandora's box, he let the night pass by closing his eyes while carrying the eagle brooch to sleep with him.
On the sofa, the three otherworldly teenagers were still looking over the magic stones that were there. Ryou even seemed to be in disbelief and continued to grumble.
“I know he's rich, but I didn't expect he'd have this damned stone more than one. One stone has driven me crazy. How much was it?”
“300,000-500,000 Penny Libra” replied the older brother
“Really, that! A very expensive price in my opinion. But what was even more absurd was that he did not wear them at all! It's crazy!”
Kino looked at Kaito who was sitting quietly holding a magic stone in his hand. Kaito here is like losing his mind and seems to be in his own world.
“Kaito-san?” Kino called her slowly
No response from Kaito so far. It seemed, Kaito really did not have the awareness to join them.
Kino recalled what Kaito had said once he could open his mouth after the memories entered into it.
[Adlers.Klaue.].
‘From that sentence, it seems that Kaito-san already remembered some things. Is that Kaito-san's real name?’
Curiosity finally made Kino ask Kaito.
“Kaito...-san?”
“.....” Kaito did not give his response.
Ryou who noticed the older brother calling Kaito nudged his hand slightly. As Ryou guesses, Kaito seems shocked and he finally returns from his world.
“Ah! Ma–forgive me. Is there something?”
Ryou looks at Kaito with a strange face and asks, “You why?”
“I'm okay”
“You're not okay. Kino called you earlier, but you're quiet. What exactly are you thinking?”
“....” Kaito is silent
Kino tries to ask Kaito about everything that's bugging him.
“Kaito-san, can I ask you a question? Who is Adler Klaue?”
“Kino?” Kaito looked at the teenager with a surprised face
Ryou initially still did not understand the question of the brother. However, when he remembered Kaito had said that name.
“Kaito, do you remember your own name? Is the memory that just entered it a memory of your name?”
Kaito has not answered Ryou's question. He himself still hesitates where to start, but he also owes and has a lot of trust in the two teenagers.
“It...not my name”.
“Not?”
“That's the name of someone I know. I remembered about that person and when we first met. That's all that comes back”
“And his name is Adler Klaue?”
“.....” Kaito fell silent and nodded once
The two brothers saw each other.
“Kaito-san, can we find out? How was your meeting with that person and anything you have remembered”
From the beginning, Kaito did not want to hide anything. He told me everything.
“Theo-kun..is the memory of that too?”
“True. In that part of memory, I, who was a child at the time, and my friends went to look for berries in the forest. Then, we both saw a teenager fighting against a monster. Giant serpent, that's the name of the monster”
“Giant serpent?! In your memory is such a monster?!” Ryou was surprised to hear that
Kaito explains everything he feels and sees in his memory.
“True. I myself also do not remember very much because the pieces do not display many things. But, I remember his movements and way of fighting exactly as I had”
“Either did I ever learn from him or simply imitate him in the future for ever seeing him, which is obvious once I see his face.
Kaito's explanation was quite surprising to the two brothers.
‘Giant serpent said! Looking at it from any angle, Kaito's home world is clearly almost similar to the fantasy world I know. And by going to the forest when he was a child signifies that the possibility of Kaito's place of origin is near the forest or mountain region’
‘Actually what was the place where Kaito-san used to live and what happened until her memories just disappeared like that? Could something bad have happened back then?’
The two sisters are so curious about Kaito's memory that they wait until Kaito tells them something else.
“Theo's memory piece that goes into this body just loads it. However, the memories contained in the jewel pieces in the Xenon brooch showed something surprising”
“Name, physicality and how I communicated with him. Besides, I remember her face so clearly. When he mentioned his name, I didn't know why”
“I felt he was a precious figure to me before I lost my memory. And as soon as he heard himself say his own name, I felt. I had lost him to the point of making me cry”.
Kino and Ryou seemed to know the meaning of that sentence.
“Dia already..mati?”
“Entahlah. Maybe I just split with him. Or maybe he does not exist anymore in this world”
Kaito's words were quite heartbreaking. It felt like the two brothers had gone deeper and deeper.
“I'm sorry, Kaito-san”
“Why apologize? I'm the one who apologized for keeping you stuck with me. If I don't find a way to get you back, I feel very guilty myself. Now, it is precisely you who are dragged into my problem”
“That's not true, Kaito-san!”
“No, that's true. You dragged us, Kaito”
Kino saw his sister. He tried hard not to blame Kaito, but instead the sister who so understandingly said it. Absolutely no talent reading the situation properly.
“You did drag us into your trouble and most importantly, there is not a single good place we come to. In the end, if not a corpse, yes the problems that surround.”.
“Ryou, don't talk so!” the brother tried to calm the brother
“But it doesn't matter to me. Because in the end, we're going to make a new history. And if all your memories have been obtained, make sure you remember that there are two people from another world who have become heroes for you!”
Kaito just smiled. In his mind, he seemed to still have something to think about.
‘I hope I can remember who Adler Klaue really is. If there really is another memory of me in this place, I hope I can get it as soon as possible’
Kino and Ryou whispered to each other.
“Kino, what do you think about this?”
“What?”
“It's only been a few hours we're here but we've been involved in something serious. Already so, our identity can be known by people from ‘world’ easily. And more surprisingly, Kaito's memory this time increasingly shows what he was like in the past”
Kino's speechless. He also felt that the longer, the more Kaito was able to get his important memories.
“This may be a good sign, Ryou”
“No. I swear this isn't a good sign, Kino. At least, the three of us are already involved in a big problem in this country”
