Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 117. After the Genesis bag. 2
Earlier, when Ryou was still arguing hotly with all those children…
“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 returned Ryou's scream
“I'll throw you all out of this room window! Don't be reckless with your words, you irreverent brats! Stay away from Kino!!” ryou replied to all those kids
“Kurasa...i need fresh air now” muttered Kino slowly
Joel who heard the quiet muttering of the teenager immediately took the initiative to stop Theo and the others.
“Bo–small boy, oi! Don't you think about your Kino-niichan? He's a patient who just came to, remember? Don't make him depressed by your quarrels!” Joel tried to calm all the kids down
Hearing that, Theo and the others looked at Kino who seemed to be imposing her smile.
“What...Theo-kun and the others are okay?” ask Kino with a smile
“Ma–forgive us, Kino-nii. We all make you uncomfortable” Theo looks moody and feels guilty for her
“Excuse us, Kino-niisan”
“We're sorry”
“Kino-niichan not angry, right?”
Kino smiled hearing all of them and rubbed the heads of the children.
“It's okay, I'm not angry. Ryou too, do not get carried away with emotions ya” exclaimed Kino to his sister
“Cih!” Ryou just clucked while turning his still pouting face
Joel who saw that was quite amazed by the teenager.
‘So he's the guy that little boy likes. They choose the right people. I just always hear the kids say they want to meet this Kino-niichan and that Kino-niichan, but after seeing it I understand why they like it so much
Stelani and Fabil who were still busy wiping Kino's left arm looked moody.
“Kino-niisan, does her hand still hurt?” stelani asked with a face holding back tears
“Not anymore. Don't look at me with such a sad face. I'm really okay”
“Umm...” the little girl just nodded her head
Kino wants to talk to Ryou and Kaito because there's a lot to ask, but expelling everyone who cares about him is not a good thing. It seems, luck is quite on his side.
“Oh! I forgot, shouldn't we take the cake you guys bought for your Kino-niichan?” Joel took the initiative to take them away
“Oh! Cream cake!” Michaela seemed excited to mention it
- Deg
There seemed to be one person who had a problem after hearing the word. Somehow, the heart of Arkan like a surprise attack hearing the word ‘kue krim’.
‘It looks like I have a trauma on cream cake from now on’ he thought to himself
Kino sees Joel blinking one eye as a gesture. Luckily, Kino realized that and started making excuses.
“Is it true that you all bought cookies for me?” asked Kino with a smiling face
“Really! We bought it while shopping and left it to Joel-ojichan. Aren't you, Joel-ojichan?”
“Correct. You're right, Michaela. Since your Kino-niichan is awake, isn't this a good time to give her that cake? We take in the cooler at the bar now huh?”
All the children seemed happy with the proposal. They even asked Kino about the cake.
“Kino-niichan, do you want to eat cream cake like we ate at the restaurant that time together again?” fabil asked with a happy face
“Sure. I'm glad to hear you guys bought me a cream cake. I think it's starting to make me hungry now . I am looking forward to the cake you bought. We eat together ya”
“Horee~ Joel-ojichan, let's take the cake now” Michaela to be very excited
“Is Arkan-nii not coming?” theo asked as he walked out of the room
“No. There's still a little business to be done. Go back to the bar. We will all wait for you here”
Inwardly, Arkan added several other reasons that he could not reveal.
‘I have had a trauma on the cream cake since Seren-sama was still bringing up the red velvet cake and the tea that I accidentally dropped. I think it would be really bad to meet him at the bar later’
“No need to return yes, brat!” yell Ryou
“Basic of ugly people! Mbleeeh!” Theo taunts Ryou by sticking out his tongue and then runs out
Kino just smiled and heaved a sigh of relief. Finally he can be with Ryou, Kaito and Arkan to discuss the things he is eager to ask.

After closing the door, Theo sees Joel and the others waiting for him.
“Why, little boy? Have you been teasing your Kino-niichan sister?” ask Joel
“You didn't think that I really hated Ryou-nii, did you? I just love to fight with him, but I don't hate him at all. After all he's Kino-nii”'s sister Theo answered honestly
Joel simply smiled and let the children walk down the hospital stairs. While Theo, at least still often pay attention to Stelani and Fabil who walk in front of him.
Outside the hospital lobby, Riz sat under a shady chair under a tree beside the hospital door holding two swords and wearing a knife-keeping belt.
“Riz-niichan!!” Fabil shouted to Riz who was sitting down
Riz looked over and waved his hand.
“How?”
“Kino-niisan is awake, Riz-niisan. Thank you so much for helping us all” Stelani bow and thank him
“But in this way, the source of your goods is reduced ya” joked Joel on Riz
“Two days I've been crying so don't talk about it anymore. We're going home, right?”
“We went back to the bar but only to pick up the cake in the fridge. They all want to give the cake that was bought two days ago on their Kino-niichan”
“Hmm..I think I should also meet with the teenager later. We're back now”
They walked through the main street in the city center. Theo and the others were walking in front of them while the two adults were walking in the back while talking seriously.
“What....the injuries of the two children have healed until allowed to go home?” ask Riz to Joel
“Fabil's wounds are not so severe and have been bandaged, while Stelani may be too soon to go home. I heard he received a powerful kick from the woman so it's no wonder that the wound on his hand created a pretty” bruise
“But why doesn't it look like that?” Riz looked at the little girl in front of him with an astonished face
“That's because no bones are broken. Maybe the little girl initially felt that her hand bone was broken due to her injury but it didn't seem so. His sprained leg is also better because it is given bandages and pain relievers” said Joel explained all to Riz
“Thank God. I thought there would be a tragedy at that time. I'm glad you were at the bar when I came, uncle Joel”
“Aa, I myself was quite shocked when you came. I thought I was going to have a heart attack”
Two days ago…
During the day, right after exiting the black market, Kaito who was carrying the still unconscious Kino ran over quickly. Even Riz who was asked to show his way was still difficult to keep up with Kaito's running speed. Moreover, Riz pushed his wagon.
“Kai..to...preferably not too fast so that I can compensate you..haaah...haaah....” said Riz while running and breathing.
“There is no time to wait! Kino might be in a critical situation right now! If you can't keep up with me, just tell me the name of the place and where it is!”
“Come out of here and head to the city center! There was a hospital not far from the main street in the city! If you're sure you can find it, go with Arkan!” exclaim Riz on Kaito
“I understand! Ryou, mr bartender! We head downtown, show us the way!”
“I understand!” answer Arkan who carried Stelani
He looked at Fabil who looked tired.
“You can still run a little faster?”
“I can still run. Kino-niichan safety is more important!” fabil answered who kept breathing
“Arkan! Take the two children also to the hospital and check their wounds!” shouted Riz who started to slow down and is now in the last position
Arkan only nodded once and ran through the street in the dark region.
After Riz realized the distance between them and himself was starting to drift away, he stopped running with a gasping breath. As if unable to stand up, he began to rest on his wagon.
“Thank God it all ended well. I hope for now everything's okay. Haah..haaah..haaah...”.
Riz started thinking seriously.
‘This is not the best result, but I feel quite relieved to be able to come out with all of them without any bloodshed. In addition, the mystery of the teenager named Kino was also still unsolved’ thought in his heart
After a while, Riz started walking back. He walked then not long after he turned the road he had previously walked. That's the direction to the bar.
Riz was still immersed in his complicated thoughts.
‘There is a possibility that the oddity he has is also in Ryou and Kaito. Maybe a little disrespectful, but I think I will investigate this more deeply after getting certainty how the teenager is going to be
In all the prejudices in her mind, Riz still does not believe that she can make the craziest and most unreasonable transaction ever. Moreover, the person who became his partner was the black market manager.
“I hope that tonight I will not get any ill treatment from Jack-sama and Seren-sama because of the results of this transaction. I also have to go back there to help Jack-sama move Uncle Will's body. Besides..”
He did not continue his sentence.
Riz began to strengthen his heart to return to the bar and intended to tell this to the children waiting there.
“At least let's go back and tell them that it's all done. I hope that teenager named Kino doesn't die”
Riz's footsteps began to accelerate.

At the bar [Barre des Noirs], Joel who had previously finished thinking began to tidy up the chairs and tables he had pulled some time ago. After tidying it up, she started to the bar table and made a little drink for him.
It was unexpected that he found something on the bar table.
“Glass? There were even three pieces like this on the floor?! Who put it in a place like this?”
Joel picked it up and smelled the glass.
“It's still not too long. Akhs! It must be that stupid employee who drinks in times of urgency! Watch him later!” grouse Joel
Joel finally cleaned up all the glasses and took them to the back. He put it in the sink and walked over to where the children's dirty clothes were. He saw it even though he didn't touch it.
“Hmm...must I take it to my subscription washer?” he muttered to himself while holding his chin
Not long after, Joel realized something.
“Woah! Now I look like a father who has many children. Ahahaha, although my face is not friendly but I am truly a loving man. Worth my girlfriends loving...um..they just seem to like my money”.
Instantly Joel's cheerful mood turns bleak as he realizes that love is as cruel as money.
“Forget about my girlfriends! In order to restore my pride and not let the little boy call me perverted uncle again, I will break up with all my girlfriends and return to being a loyal husband”
A good determination. That too, if Joel's words can be trusted.
