Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 69. The Beginning of the Fight in Foreign Places bag. 3
Kaito has regained consciousness and the first thing that made him shocked was when he heard the threat of Arkan being unsafe for his wallet.
“Don't kill him or you have to pay his debt!!”
Like being struck by lightning, Kaito instantly regained his beautiful blue eyes and looked back.
“Oi, mr. bartender. I just got to know you and I've only been fighting this guy named Justin for less than half an hour. I know this place doesn't know the law but that doesn't mean you're dumping this guy's debt on me!. I'll sue you later!!” kaito Protest
“You yourself said this place has no law so you can't sue me, you fool!”
“.....” Kaito is silent with a strange face
Kaito's clear mind began to lead him to feelings of deja vu.
‘Why do I feel like this bartender looks a lot like Ryou? Just as annoying, just as chatty, equally spicy-mouthed. Which distinguishes him older than me and Ryou. Ryou's one spicy mouth alone is enough to drive me crazy, why meet the second one? Is there not another world teenager who strayed to this place with a good and exemplary person like Kino?’
Kaito's luck can't be friends with him, but at least he can find pocket watches belonging to the two brothers.
“Kh....ukh...” Justin is still moaning on the ground with blood constantly flowing
It seems that Kaito and Arkan are too serious about the issue of accounts payable to forget about Justin who looks to be suffering and dying.
“Oh, sorry for forgetting you. Hm? What's wrong with your hand? Why did you cut off your own hand?” Kaito asked with a confused and serious face
“.....” Arkan sees Justin's helpless condition in silence
“Basic...junk..terku....cursed!!” justin said to Kaito as if unaware of how pitiful he was
Arkan could only be speechless and glanced towards Kaito's cold face as well as the pitiful position of Justin.
In his heart, there was nothing else but a question about the situation that lay before him.
‘It...really Justin?! The one who killed five people so easily last night now even looks pitiful like that? How come? In addition, this young man named Kaito is also very experienced in terms of fighting more than Justin. I might think he could be balanced against Seren-sama’
Kaito really doesn't really remember what happened. His memory was so faint that he saw his sword covered in fresh blood from Justin.
“Don't tell me that this is all my doing?” Kaito looks at Arkan and asks him
“Don't tell me you forgot what you did. It's look! Those two arms are even still in front of your feet”
“.....” Kaito looked down and fell silent
Already unwilling to regret his actions that he considered right, Kaito immediately swung his sword to clear the blood in his sword eyes and put it back.
After she took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, Kaito knelt down and looked at Justin who continued to moan in pain. The moaning voice was not much cared for by Kaito so the scene did not need to be dramatic.
“You should thank me for just keeping those two arms apart from your body. If I let my guard down a little and got carried away with more emotion than this, maybe your head is detached from its place”
“Less...ajar..”.
“Oi, watch your words. I asked you a question, but you didn't answer me at all. You seem to be the type of person who likes to torture others and likes to be tortured by others. Do I need to do it now?”
Kaito's cold eyes this time looked like a killer in Justin's eyes. Not only was the terrifying aura enveloping the way he looked at her, but also his tone sounded to have no pity.
Now, Justin really made no fight.
“What...maumu?” ask Justin
“My first question you haven't answered yet so please answer. Is it true that you always tortured Theo and his friends?”
“It...I just...hit them if...they don't...do not bring me money”.
“That's the same way you tortured him. Is it hard to admit that? In the end I will also make you regret” replied Kaito cynically
Arkan who recalled his goal of approaching Kaito finally shouted.
“Kaito, this is not the time for that! Seren-sama may have already reached the place of those children!”
“Seren you said? Ahahahahaha!!” Justin laughed out loud in the middle of his bad situation
After being satisfied with the laugh, he looked arrogant while enduring the pain.
“So...they've got that useless rat? Good riddance! In this way.I don't have to worry about anything! Indeed very. But, I don't have to look..face sucks rat..no...useful it!” justin said with a stammer
Now Arkan's face was pale and Kaito's face became cynical.
GIBBOSHE
A loud enough sound was created by Kaito. He kicked Justin in the face and stomped on it with his foot. The shoes he wore were exposed to blood from Justin's nose and mouth and now Justin's situation is just a matter of time.
“Mr bartender–”
“.....A...What?”
“I'm sick enough to ask him and will start listening to you. You said the woman named Seren was in dark territory, right?”
“Benar” Arkan answered him in a calm tone
“You also said that they are murderers as well as traders who specifically sell the human body no matter in a state of life or death, right?”
“Be–true”
“Then–”
Kaito seemed to say something and instantly Arkan's face turned into shock and shock.
“Eh? Are you crazy?”

Theo who continued to cry in Ryou's embrace still did not stop saying the same thing continuously.
“I curse him!! I will never forgive him! I won't forgive him! He's a demon, he deserves to die. He deserved to die!!. I wish he died!!”
Until now, the two had not realized there was something shining inside Theo's collar. A small light that still continues to shine along with the curse sentence for Justin.
Ryou who heard the sobs tried to hold himself back for a while before he started to get tired of the crying.
“Theo..Theo..” Ryou rubbed the child's back while hugging him.
“Hiks….I wish he were dead!! I hate him, I hate him!!”
“This is not the time to cry. We need to get to your friend's place. Calm yourself so as not to get emotional. I told you I'd help you, remember? Control yourself and I'll save your friends, trust me”
“Hiks...”.
Ryou had already tried to calm him down. Instantly the small light from behind his collar dimmed and Theo released his tight hug. She immediately wiped her tears and looked very serious. Seeing that, at least Ryou didn't have to yell at him to keep quiet.
“Have finished crying?”
“I..I do not want to waste my time! Ryou-nii.please help me and my friends” Theo ask Ryou for help though in a stammered voice after crying.
Ryou smiled and helped Theo stand up.
“Run as fast as you can and I will follow you. Show me where you live”
After being satisfied to cry and get his confidence back, Theo immediately turned around and ran as fast as possible
During the run, Ryou felt that he had wasted his time. His mind is full of complicated things
‘There is no guarantee they are still in the boy's house. Moreover, if what Theo said was true, it meant that I had to fight with a person of the same level as Kaito maybe even above him. Can I do it? What is clear is that if it is true, then it is likely that I will have to fight by risking my life’
[I'm beginning to feel that you're starting to lose consciousness of the value of humanity here]
[You speak so lightly as if human life is meaningless!]
[You're human too so it's best not to say that you're going to kill another human without thinking first]
Ryou muttered inwardly as he remembered all of Kaito's sentences.
‘If it is true as he said, maybe I have indeed gone a little crazy due to this place. But as long as I can protect Kino, I have no problem losing one or two of my humanity!’
There was no time to feel any doubt at this moment considering the matter before them was quite serious.
Theo who ran while holding back his tears continued to pray.
‘I hope nothing happens to them all. I hope nothing happens to them all. I beg you!”!
The restless and fearful face continued to be pointed out by Theo.
When it had been a while, Ryou began to realize there was a turn towards the left. That was the initial road they had crossed before. But the direction Theo is going is straight ahead.
“This path..” Ryou pays attention to the area around the place
If you think back, the place is more and more similar to the structure of the place when the three of them were in ‘world malam’. Many buildings are empty without lighting and buildings without doors are also increasingly
frequently encountered.
“No wonder if Kaito calls this place a junior ‘world night’. More or less like that apparently” murmured Ryou slowly while running
It may seem so relaxing, but in fact they really don't have much time.
Suddenly from the side of the building came the echo of a voice.
“Votes? Like..crying voice..” Ryou thought while listening carefully to the voice.
The more they dashed forward, the clearer the sounds sounded. As if getting closer to the source, the cry became bigger and bigger.
It was as if there was more than one person crying. And what made Ryou uneasy the most was the fact that the crying was like the crying of children.
“A–children?! Oi, Theo!!” Ryou increased his speed in running
Theo looked even more pale from hearing that cry. Not long after, they saw six children sitting crying loudly.
“Huwaaa!!! Stelani-neechan!!”
“No!! Huwaa….Fabil-niichan!! Kino-niich!! Huwaaaaa!!”
Theo who saw that immediately cried while running getting closer to them. As if unconcerned with Ryou who was behind him, Theo yelled out to them.
“Michaela!! You all!!”
All the children heard a voice calling them and immediately shouted.
“Theo-nii!!! Huwaa….Theo-niichan!!”
The children were too weak and trembling to get up so when Theo knelt down and hugged them all, they cried as hard as they could to create an echo in the place.
“You guys...you're okay, right?” Theo asked as he hugged them and cried
“Huwaa….Theo's….Theo-niichang….Hiks..hiks...”.
“It's okay, I'm here. Thank goodness you all didn't get hurt”
Ryou who caught up with Theo finally stopped. In front of him, there was a very touching situation. But that's not the part that caught his attention.
He looked around the place. Lots of piles of garbage bags are torn and falling with several bottles on the streets. But of all that, the thing that made him most suspicious was the blood stains on the walls and streets. The stain still looked new like there had been a fight before they arrived.
“What happened exactly here?” Ryou now looked panicked and anxious
Theo started to stop hugging them all and saw all their faces.
“You guys...are you hurt?”
“Hiks….Theo-niichan..” Michaela seemed to be unable to say anything
Theo realizes that something is being held by Michaela. Something like a knife.
Ryou who walked up to them instantly looked bad. His face immediately turned pale and could not control his emotions.
Quickly Ryou immediately knelt down and held onto the shoulder of the little girl who was hugging the knife tightly.
“Oi little girl!! Why do you have that knife?!”
“Hiks..ini...Kino-niichan–”.
“Kino you said?!”
As if struck by lightning, Ryou and Theo instantly turned pale at the same time.
“Michaela, do you know Kino-nii?! Whyyy?! What...what happened to Kino-nii?! Why can you have this thing?!” asked Theo with a panicked look
“Hiks...Kino-nii...Kino-niichan...hiks hiks”.
Theo also realized there was less of them.
“Where is Stelani and Fabil? What the hell is going on? You know something, right? You know something about this, right?!” Theo started shouting as he asked them
The other children who were still crying started trying to say something and of course that was not a good thing.
“Ki–Kino-niichan attacked by a freak. They..they brought Stelani-neechan and Fabil-niichan..Hiks....”.
“They...they said they would..will finish Kino-niichan and..and sell Stelani-neechan and Fabil-niichan”.
“We...we can only see.huwaaaa”.
They came back crying. Michaela who was in Ryou's hands immediately cried out loud.
“Kino-niichan got stabbed and they hit him hard. The monstrous aunt also kicked him and strangled him. Huwaa…..Theo-niichang….Kino-niichan will die.hiks..huwaaaa”.
- Deg
Hearing that, Ryou's face immediately turned shocked. He clearly recognized the knife in the little girl's hand. It was a dagger that he had bought as a gift for the elder brother. Nothing scares her more than knowing her brother is hurt. And now he's like he's been struck by lightning.
“Kino...wounded you said.” Ryou immediately sculpted and could not say anything more.
Slowly he saw fresh blood stains all around the place and his facial expression was so shocked and shocked.
“This is all...blood Kino...Is that true?”
“Hiks...Mmm” the little girl nodded while continuing to cry.
Her nightmare finally came true. Everything he did was to protect his brother. The vow he once said that he would not repeat the mistake for the third time now collapsed.
Ryou felt that he had failed to protect his brother.
Emotionally, Ryou bites his own lips until they bleed and screams.
“Kinoo!!”
