Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 116. After the Genesis bag. 1
Kino had opened her eyes and was warmly welcomed by everyone. After a few minutes, the doctor came and checked her condition. Everyone slightly moved away as the doctor examined him, including Ryou and the nine enthusiastic-looking little boys who wanted to approach him again.
After making sure everything is fine, the doctor suggested that he rest and eat enough.
The place Kino was treated now was a hospital in the city that was in the center of the city. Since waking up, Kino's face gradually became refreshed. After taking the medicine from the doctor while examining it, Kino started to look better.
Inside Kino's room, there were more than eleven people who had come to visit. That makes the room pretty crowded now. Plus, not long after the doctor came out, he was immediately approached by small children who re-hugged him.
For some reason, the crowded atmosphere was enough to make him anxious.
“Um...all of you..wasn't it that in this hospital allowed more than three people to visit? In addition, has this morning entered the clock besuk?” asked Kino with an anxious face
“Don't think about it, Kino. This is not Japan so there is no need to follow the rules in this place! Besides, I actually kicked these boys out but they're still trying to come in! Basic naughty kids!” ryou replied with a pouting face
Ryou already looks more cheerful than before. It could be seen clearly from the ability of his spicy mouth that could already be activated.
Kino can only smile thinly listening to the sister's answer and switching views, looking at Kaito in hopes of getting a more reasonable explanation.
Kaito is more sensitive than ever.
“Ehem, it's actually ten o'clock in the morning and before you opened your eyes a few minutes ago, it was already inside the clock. So–”
“So. So this is already in the clock besuk ya”
“True. About that's how”
“So, how long have I been unconscious?” ask Kino to Kaito
“Count two days. But it doesn't matter, nothing special happens when you sleep”
There was something Kaito had hidden from that sentence but he decided not to say it.
Kino heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the other side of the room. There were two other strangers he had never seen before.
“They..”.
The two men approached Kino who was sitting on the patient's bed.
“This is the first time we met. Hello, my name is Joel. I own [Barre des Noirs]”
“Joel-san.[Barre des Noirs] Yes. My name is Yuki Kino, greetings. Then..”
“My name is Arkan, the bartender at the bar. Greetings know”
“Arkan-san yes. Thank you for keeping Ryou and Kaito-san” Kino smiling
While shaking hands with Kino, Arkan whispered into her ear.
“Hey, are you really Ryou's sister?”
“Eh?” kino's expression became confused now
“I asked if you were his real brother?”
“A–I think we were born from the womb of the same woman so, umm. Is there something, Arkan-san?”
“You never thought that when she was born, she might have been swapped by a nurse or someone else?” arkan's face was getting weird
“A–what is something wrong with Ryou? Kino became increasingly confused
“I think you should start looking for a way to test if he's your younger brother or not! Your nature is like heaven and earth! Plus–”
From behind Arkan, Ryou was already preparing to hit him.
“Do not try to poison Kino's mind with your nonsense, Arkan. Even though my weapon is under, if it is only one to three minor bruises on the face I can still make it. We can try to keep you quiet”
Ryou's eyes looked filled with emotion. Arkan pretends not to see and hears Ryou instantly retreating to the other side of the room and away from him.
‘I've guessed that they're not real sisters. There must be a conspiracy here! I'm so sure!’ muttered Arkan in heart with a flat face
The children who saw Ryou put on such a face hugged Kino tightly while driving him away.
“Go there, you devil sister!”
“Ryou-niichan makes Kino-niichan scared!”
“You naughty boys!!” chirp Ryou who tries to hold back emotions
But apparently, the sentences of the three oldest children in the group successfully made him almost turn into a boiled crab.
“Ryou-niisan gives a negative aura to Kino-niisan. Don't put on a face like that!” stelani said with a pouting face
“Ryou-niichan, if you get angry like that you get old fast. Look, Kino-niichan is a hassle because you're too noisy” said Fabil as he moved his hand while driving away
“It is better that Ryou-nii accompany Riz-nii down there! Hush...hush!!” Theo began to follow Fabil's hand which drove him away
Kaito just saw the sight of ‘soothing that heart’ with a flat face. But it seems that behind all that, stored a gratefulness that is offered.
‘There is finally someone who can fight Ryou. Ah~this is called tranquility? I'm sorry, Kino. Sometimes, seeing Ryou like this makes me quite calm and relaxed. I am grateful to still be able to see this beautiful sight’
But it seems, praise and gratitude Kaito should end sooner.
“Oi, the boys sucks..Don't want to throw me out!! That patient over there is my brother and you are just annoying boys who disturb his calm! Get out of there!!”
Ryou's face flushed like a crab ready to eat, leaving the other little ones terrified and starting to complain to Kino.
“Kino-niichan, no demons!”
“Go you, demon! Kino-niichan, the demon is scary!!”
“Bigger you guys!! Who are you calling demons?! The boys don't know themselves! Out there!! Do not seek refuge in the sick!! Kino will never defend you all and will choose to support me!” Ryou shouted in annoyance
“No! Don't come near us, demon! Evil spirit! Ugly people! Ryou-nii's red face proves that you still have a black aura! Don't stain Kino-nii!” Theo replies to Ryou's screams with some other ‘praise’ for him
“I'll throw you all out of this room window! Don't be reckless with your words, you irreverent brats! Stay away from Kino!!”
Although the meaning of the sentence above actually has the opposite meaning.
Now, Kino could only remain motionless seeing the brutal ‘action verbally’ that was done between her sister and the nine children.
“Kurasa...i need fresh air now” mumbled slowly
Tired of throwing ‘pujian’ at each other, the fight ended in a series and Kino managed to save his quiet day by having the boys go with the bar owner out to find him food.
After Joel and the nine children left, the only ones inside were Ryou, Kaito and Arkan.
“Awas only if they come back again, I will throw them directly from the window of this room once they enter this room!” ryou grumbled with his face
“Ryou, don't say that. Calm yourself. Please, listen to me” Kino tries to calm the sister
“……”
Arkan was really surprised to see Ryou who immediately turned calm because of his brother's words. Now, Arkan feels he has met someone who could be his life role model for a better future.
Kino realized something.
“Kaito-san, where is your sword?”
“Ah, my sword is with someone named Riz. He's waiting downstairs. However, sharp weapons are not allowed so.including Ryou's sword and your dagger, all entrusted to him” explained Kaito.
“So”
The atmosphere returned silent and Arkan tried to start the conversation.
“Before, I wanted to apologize to you for being involved in such a terrible thing. Although it's not my fault or the manager's, but you got involved because of the guy from our bar”
“Our bar is..what does it mean is a man named Justin?” ask Kino
“True. Did you know about Justin?”
“I found out because of Stelani-chan and Fabil-kun who told me about it. Michaela-chan also had a chance to tell me while we were eating together at the restaurant. They say that Justin is a bad guy”
“That's right and he is a regular at our bar. Therefore, I regret and apologize deeply to you, Kino”
“I–it's not true. I–”
“In addition.I also thank you very much because you did all the best to protect Stelani and Fabil when the kidnapping happened” Arkan smiled at Kino
Kino fell silent before answering Arkan's sentence.
“Arkan-san..
“Hmm?”
“Actually, I don't really remember what happened. It's just, I remember that I was attacked by someone. After that..”
Kino did not resume her sentence and bowed silently. He tried to recall all those events but to no avail.
Ryou who was sitting at the side of the patient's bed patted his sister's shoulder.
“Tennah” Ryou said gently
“Do not think of heavy things. We will tell you everything bit by bit, Kino” Arkan added his sentence
Kino looked and smiled at the younger brother. Taking a deep breath, he began to try to strengthen his heart to listen to everything from the beginning.
Arkan told me about his meeting with Kaito first. He tells how he met Kaito who came to the bar and accidentally got into a fight with Justin. He also told me that at that time Kaito wanted to find out about the lost pocket watch.
“Truely too, has his pocket clock been found?” ask Kino
Ryou took out his pocket watch from his pants pocket and gave it to Kino.
“It. Kaito gave it to me. He said this clock was on Arkan before I came” Ryou explained
“Thank God~” Kino saw the pocket watch with a face full of cheerful smiles
Arkan continued his story. He also talked about Kaito's relationship with Justin.
“So, that guy named Justin is really looking for Kaito-san?”
“Aa. But, why is it like you know it? Did you really know anything before me and Ryou?” ask Kaito about Kino
“I only heard about it from Stelani-chan and Fabil-kun when I met them accidentally. I don't really remember it but there seems to be a strange name for Kaito-san. Man...”
“The sword guy without the sword sheath” replied Ryou chimed in on Kino's previous remarks
“It! That designation. Um..but.either why, now I feel that the title is pretty cool for Kaito-san, even though it's a little too long” Kino said in praise
“.....” everyone was speechless to hear it
The best part was that Kino's sentence was purely a compliment, not a scathing, sharp heart-piercing innuendo as the younger brother had always said to Kaito.
Amazingly, Kaito smiled hearing that while saying “thank you” to Kino. That's because he knows how sincere one teenager is in praising someone.
Arkan who saw Kaito smiling just fell silent and did not want to comment. He chose to change the topic and continue his explanation.
“After that, I left Kaito at the bar with Justin dying from fighting him”
“What..what it means Kaito-san–”
“Kino, let Arkan continue his story” Ryou instantly cut Kino's sentence
Kino felt that something was hidden by her sister. He also had a chance to see Kaito's face turned serious and Arkan who began to look anxious.
‘Are...they hide something from me?’
