Riz walked towards his shop stall. Riz's shop on the black market is in the most strategic place, which is in the middle that juts a little deeper. It passes slightly past the residence of Jack and Seren. As a characteristic that does not disappear, of course the skull ornament hangs in front of the shop door.
Riz began to put all the items he carried inside without having to clean them first and took out a few large plastic bags in bulk.
After which, he directly came out and accelerated his pace to go to where Seren was. It was done so that the possibility that his head was bid by black market managers barely happened.
‘Which is clear, I should be able to make Jack-sama and Seren-sama not bring up today's incident!’ thought Riz in the heart
Arriving there, Riz almost had a heart attack because the corpse that had been intact on the road has now become 10 parts.
“....” Riz was silent in shock
“Hm? Oh, Riz. Let's help me now” Seren looks at him while waving his hand
The woman had cut Will's body into 10 bloodless parts that hit him in the slightest. I don't know what techniques were done by him, but clearly Riz still felt a huge impact due to the exchange today.
“Seren-sama, didn't you say you would wait for me? Why cut it yourself?” Riz asked who was walking closer to Seren
“That's because you took too long, Riz”
“La–la–long you said?! But, I've come as fast as I can!”
“Riz dear, fifteen minutes that includes a long time for me. Moreover, Will's body had been silenced for more than an hour and a half. The quality will be ugly. It's the product of the stuff you sold me and my husband. Later if we ask for a refund, you must bring the young man to this place again”
“Se–Se–Seren-sama, items already purchased cannot be returned. I–that's the rule in this place, remember? E–ehehe” Riz tried to calm down and replied Seren
“Huwaa~I admire you. Besides remembering all the written and unwritten rules, you also dared to answer me. Don't want to just work here and be a gatekeeper?” Seren smiled blushingly at Riz
Riz's expression instantly turned frantic and resolutely rejected her.
“No, thank you! I still love my life! Although I like to cut and sell corpses, but I am still not ready to be cut and sold as a corpse!!”
“Hmm..a very sad. Though his salary is big”
‘But the risk of my head drifting is just as great!’ riz shouted in heart
Riz was not willing to slow down and started transporting the body. The body is still bleeding. Riz quickly stuffed the body into a plastic bag he was carrying and wrapped neatly.
“Fiuh, finally done. Can we go now, Seren-sama?”
“Tentu”
Both are walking back. Riz tried to calm down and did not discuss anything that happened regarding the exchange earlier. But it seemed like the beautiful lady beside him really liked to discuss the latest hot topic.
“So, is that teenager still alive?”
- Deg
Riz's hand that was pushing the wagon became slightly trembling and Riz's heart beat faster from the strain.
“Ke–why with it, Seren-sama?” Riz answered nervously
“I'm still a little curious about the teenager. You know, he was very rude when he met me. He didn't even answer my question and turned around to throw me out. It was disrespectful” Seren pouted as he recalled his first meeting with Kino
Riz was silent. However, his heart could not miss the opportunity to comment.
‘Please, Seren-sama.a beautiful wife belongs to my life's role model. Everywhere, if he was suddenly attacked by an unknown person and asked by the attacker, of course they would not answer him!! God, I'm lucky my wits still exist. I think I've started contracting Arkan's nature because it happened during the day last’
Riz tried to look calm and answered.
“Mu– just maybe because he has not known the kindness of Seren-sama and Jack-sama”
“So. Where did that teenager and Kaito go after getting out of here?”
“They..”.
Riz did not continue his sentence. He thought for a moment.
‘Eh, go first! Can I tell their whereabouts to the man who nearly killed them? No way, right? Ow hell! Then how do I answer it?’
Riz glanced at Seren who was also looking at Riz with a cold look. It was as if he was ready to eat the young man beside him.
“......!!!” Riz was shocked and could not say anything
“Then? Do you know where they are?” Seren asked back to her
“I–it. Me–they and I chose different paths. We split up because I had to go home to cry and prepare my merchandise”
“Hmm, I forgot you still have to cry because of Justin's death. You know, Justin's head looks like it's done by my husband. Want to meet and greet him?”
“Me–greeting Jack-sama means?”
“Not, greet Justin” head
“……”
Little is known that what Seren said was not a joke and it seems that Riz knows how 'good' the sense of humor of his role model wife is. 'Too good' to make it hard to laugh.
“Maybe you miss him, Riz. Anyway we'll drop Will's body into the cutter room as well so I guess you and Justin's head can have a happy reunion” Seren smiles sweetly at Riz
Seeing that, Riz felt that his stomach which was originally nauseous became even more nauseous.
“It looks like it will just be a waste of time. I turned it down” replied Riz slowly
“Good. Later if you still want to change your mind, tell me or my husband ya”
The two fell silent again because Riz did not respond to Seren's last sentence. Riz tried not to say anything and finally tried to break the silence before arriving at [La porte du Paradis].
“Just ask. Want to ask what?”
“Why did Seren-sama get to be in front of the gate earlier? How long has Seren-sama been there?”
“I was standing there only about 45 minutes. That's because my husband said he wanted to cut Justin off himself after he finished talking a lot with the body. Because I didn't want to interrupt his last time, so I left him alone”
“Eh? Finish talking a lot of that stuff..”
“Let's just my husband deliver the last moment of Justin's body before tonight's opening”
“So. Ahaha, unique once” said Riz with a forced smile
The two arrived at the shop building which was beside [La porte du Paradis]. Seren and Riz carried the bags one by one. After climbing the stairs, Riz felt so tense when walking in the corridor of the place.
‘I just passed this place. There was a strange feeling. The impact of the transaction was quite large for me apparently’ thought Riz
The bloodstains on the floor were still clearly visible. Riz who walked by ignoring all that followed Seren who entered the room. Jack was sitting in a chair behind a table with three heads on it.
“Jack~”
“Oh, my dear Seren~”
Jack immediately stood up to approach his wife and hugged her. She looked so happy, even though the casual-looking clothes had red shades everywhere.
“Seren my love, look at that. My friend up there. Amazing, right?” point Jack at the table
“True, amazing once. Look what I brought”
“Huwaaa~you brought Riz” Jack looking enthusiastic looking at Riz behind him
“Not me!! I'm not here to give up my head, Jack-sama! I was just helping your wife deliver a piece of Uncle Will”'s body
Riz began to look emotional until he shouted to his favorite role model. But, the couple only noticed Riz's cute, wolf-like face in front of them.
“Oh, my dear Riz. You're sweet as the little cake we ate a few hours ago. How's it going? Healthy?” Jack asked with a smiling face
“Se–healthy. But maybe my brain hurts a little. Haha” replied Riz with a face full of forced smiles
Jack let go of Seren's hug and walked over to Riz. He saw the shadow of a cute wolf who was making a cute “grr” sound while holding a plastic bag in his hand.
“Aww~you're so funny. What's in that big bag William?”
“Be–right once. I brought it according to the contents of Jack-sama's shout when I left this market a while ago” replied Riz while giving the bag
“Huwaa, you are so kind. I thought you were pretending not to hear me for running with them all”
“Ti–there's no way I'm ignoring my own role model”
‘If I ignore you, I am sure after this my head will go from his place’ muttered Riz inwardly adding the sentence that came out of his mouth before this
Riz intended to go out and retrieve the rest of the plastic bag he had not yet brought, but a question from Seren almost made him cry.
“Riz, I want to meet a man named Kaito. Can you take me there tomorrow?”
“What?!” Riz looked quickly
“Seren my dear, you want to meet the man who killed William?”
“Lapse she's strong. Besides, I would love to fight with him. He didn't look serious to me this afternoon and I really wanted to be able to fight seriously against him. Nee, Riz–”
“I have to take other uncle Will's body parts! I go down first, Seren-sama!” Riz immediately ran out of the room and did not care about the couple
While going down the stairs, he thought in his heart.
‘Whatever happens, do not let Seren-sama meet with Kaito! If you can, Jack-sama won't need to see him again either! If it's true that Ryou and Kaito have the same weirdness as that teenager named Kino, then it's over! The possibility that the two married couples will continue to pursue it is no longer something impossible!!’
******
Back to the present time…
Riz who walked by remembering the thing that happened two days ago looked so pale.
‘I didn't expect it to be like this. Even yesterday afternoon, Jack-sama and Seren-sama actually came to the bar. Even though I heard it from Arkan and uncle Joel were not there when it happened, it proves that the black market manager is still curious about them all! This is more of a hassle than just a regular exchange transaction!!’
Joel looked back and saw Riz walking alone with a serious face like thinking of something. Joel walked back and whispered to Riz.
“What do you think?” Joel asked Riz
“I don't know if uncle Joel has heard from Arkan about the black market manager who came to the bar yesterday afternoon, but this could probably be more serious than the incident two days ago” replied Riz Lirih
“I've heard from him. Fortunately I wasn't there at the time. If I had been there, I might have cried in the corner of the room”
“This is no joke, uncle Joel! If they come again to the bar like yesterday afternoon, it's only a matter of time until they meet Kaito or Kino!” Riz started to look panicked
“Don't worry! I'm not serious about saying it either. I've liked all those kids enough and I'm trying to protect them too. Including protecting their rescuers like a teenager named Kino and his two colleagues. When it comes to money, I do not lose to black market manager”
“.....” Riz glanced at Joel
“Only, another story if they use violence. We should hope they don't do something with their ruthless killing ability like the other day”
“I know. Even though they were the superiors I traded with, I still maintained my friendship with Arkan. I don't want to turn into a demon completely, uncle Joel”
