Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 121. After the Genesis bag. 6
Right now, those who were walking in the center of the city almost reached the road behind the altar. Theo and the other kids seem so excited, while Joel and Riz continue to have serious talks.
“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” said Riz with a sharp eye
Joel was quite surprised to hear that. He could only sigh and say a touching sentence to the teenager.
“You're human, Riz. Do not consider yourself a demon. Even if you always say that you are a human-shaped demon, but that is only because you have a job beyond the common sense”
“Uncle Joel..”
“If the matter of the devil is human.I myself who have long ignored all those children is also no different from you”.
“……”
“Now, I am trying to atone for my own sins by giving those children a little happiness. You who have saved people who mean to them are good people. That's proof that you're human. Remember it's fine”
Finally, there was someone who said a warm sentence to Riz. Although the teenager has been in the dark business for a long time, he is starting to see that he can eventually become a useful person for friends and others.
“You are better than I thought, uncle Joel” Riz smiled and praised Joel with a smile
“I know that. This creepy face of mine has nothing to do with my peace-loving heart. Ahahaha!”
Joel seems so confident in everything he says that he speaks in a loud tone. Apparently, the words of pearl were heard to Theo's ears and he gave a response ‘ful praise’ to Joel.
“You love kids but you're still a cheater! You pervert!”
- Jleb
Theo's words that were said without seeing Joel behind him were like a knife that pointed at Joel's heart instantly.
All the children who heard Theo's loud speech instantly looked towards him with strange faces. Even Riz who initially wanted to be moved so looked at Joel with a gaze full of pity and pity.
“Bokah..you have a personal grudge against me, huh? I am a peace-loving person. Why can't you show me a friendly attitude”
Theo did not respond to Joel's words and simply smiled wryly.
“Psst, Joel-ojichan it's been good to us. You can't stick it like that!” fabil whispers to Theo
“You're so mean, Theo! Kino-niisan will hate you later!” Stelani begins to scare Theo
“Geeh?! Ja–Don't scare me so! No one complained about it to Kino-nii huh! Watch out for you!” Theo spoke in a soft tone to all the children
Riz who was next to Joel tried to cheer him up.
“They are just children, uncle Joel. I'm sure they like you. Believe this. Look at all those nice clothes. I heard from Arkan that you bought it. You're kind. Remember, you yourself told me that I am not a human demon. You certainly aren't. Emotion”
“But, they say I'm a cheat and pervert” Joel said in a soft tone
“Ya.kan indeed the reality is so. Just accept...eh?”
Riz is an example of a person who is good at making other people's mood more ‘membaik’, just like Ryou. Now Joel's face looks redder.
“You're the same as Arkan. You have no feelings! Actually you want to comfort me or insinuate me?!”
“Am I not honest? Honestly, it's an angel, not a demon. If I lie, it will only make you more soluble in other lies. That's why I'm talking ju–”
“Enough. Thank you for trying to cheer me up even though that sentence made my heart break even more. Hiks..”
Joel looked increasingly cloudy and filled with black aura. Thanks to Theo and Riz who have issued all the honesty ‘sweet’ on Joel.
On the way, they finally arrived at a narrow path in an isolated region. The road that the children always pass when they want to go to the altar and go home from the altar.
Along the way, Stelani and Fabil ask Theo a lot of questions.
“Theo, I want to know..are we going to be honest with Kino-niisan about the theft?” Stelani asked while whispering to Theo
“I..I was just honest with Ryou-nii and Kaito-nii before they went to save you. But..” Theo looks doubtful
“We have to be honest. Anyway, I don't want to lie to Kino-niisan. Kino-niisan even risked his life to protect me and Fabil. I...I don't want to be hated by him” Stelani's eyes start to look red
“I did too, Theo. Stelani and I have been through a lot of bad things in that horrible place. Perhaps if Kino-niichan did not obstruct the attack of that terrible woman, we would both be killed on the spot and would not be brought alive Fabil added back
Theo. He remembered what Ryou had said regarding his intention to apologize to Kino after it was over. But her little heart was still afraid. He is not sure if all that will make his relationship with Kino stay as it is now or even worse.
“I. I'm still..”
“Theo-niichan” Michaela who goes with Theo calls him
“Michaela..” Theo see that sweet little girl
“If Theo-niichan wants to apologize, I will accompany you. Other friends will also accompany you. Just chill. Kino-niichan is good. Ryou-niichan too.um.although he is fierce and likes to yell at all of us while hugging Kino-niichan, but Ryou-niichan is also good” Michaela said a very honest thing.More.
Theo started to smile at the little girl and started to clasp her pendulum back. This time, he took the pendulum out of his collar and looked at it while praying.
‘This luminous canopy..truly brings everyone back safely. I hope I can keep a good relationship between me and Kino-nii. I don't want to be hated by him’
Although only a glance, the necklace was glowing.

At the hospital, Kaito suddenly felt something.
- Deg
‘What is this? I feel the same way as the one in bar’ in Kaito's heart
Actually, before this Kaito also felt the same way while on the black market. It happened while fighting Will. However, he did not pay much attention to it as it was too focused on the fight.
Kaito looked at Kino with a confused look. At the time, Arkan was talking to Kino about what happened when they were on their way to the black market to save him.
Kino had a glance towards Kaito because she felt noticed by him and asked.
“Kaito-san? Is there something?”
Kaito was quite surprised to hear the question from Kino. He knew that Kino was sensitive, but he did not expect that his sensitivity was getting stronger now.
“I..I also don't understand. I don't know why I feel like I have to do something or say something.”.
“What is it? Why don't you speak so clearly?!” Ryou immediately looked at Kaito with a strange look
“What's up, Kaito-san? Is there something I want to say to you?”
“I'm not sure..” Kaito replied unsure.
“So, just tell me what you want.”.
“I feel like I should do something on Kino–”
“What did you say?! Oh! You're kidding me, aren't you, Kaito?!” Ryou immediately stood up and walked over to Kaito
Arkan who was close to Kaito immediately stepped back while showing a disgusted expression at him.
“Try repeating once again, what did you say just now?!”ryou insist
“You cut my sentence, Ryou. I wasn't done talking”
“Then finish! I've prepared the energy in my hand!”
Now, Ryou looks the most emotional.
“It seems, I should do something to Kino or maybe say something to her”
“Something? Whatisit? I will listen to what Kaito-san wants to say to me”
“Wait a minute! We are still talking about something serious! Why now so it sounds so ambiguous that it gives me goosebumps of my own?!” obviously Ryou while looking a little shaky from feeling an unpleasant premonition
Arkan who looks away from Kaito is also no different from Ryou.
“Kaito, you don't have any abnormalities right?”
Kaito looked behind him and looked at Arkan with a cold gaze.
“The only abnormality I have is to walk casually while carrying a sword without a sheath during my stay in this city. My orientation to the opposite sex is still normal so don't think of anything no-no, sir bartender”
“But your words are very strange. I'm not surprised that Ryou looks like that”
“You two don't talk that way to Kaito-san. Kaito-san, I will listen to you. Don't think about Ryou and Arkan-san's words. What does Kaito-san want to say?” said Kino who looked at Kaito with a smile
“Kino?! You don't know that Kaito's brain is wrong?!” ryou said
“Then, isn't Ryou's attitude also not right. Remember what I said when we got out of the inn that morning? I will be firm on Ryou's attitude which always speaks harshly to Kaito-san. Now, let Kaito-san talk or later I won't listen to Ryou”
Kino's words came out of her mouth with a soft tone, but the meaning implied in it was so sharp that Ryou could not say anything but cluck with a pouty face.
Ryou returns to the side of his brother. At that moment, Arkan found something interesting.
‘So this is the real nature of Ryou's sister. It's stunning! Even the poor chatter can be instantly silent. I have to file this with Riz later!’ think Arkan in heart with a sparkling face
Now, Kaito starts saying something to Kino.
“Kino, aren't you going to hate me?”
“Hmm? Why should I hate Kaito-san?”
“So. Yes already. That's all I want to tell you”
“.....” Ryou and Arkan were speechless with strange faces
“Nothing else, Kaito-san?” ask Kino
“Nothing. Only that”
Kaito muttered in his heart.
‘Am I still normal? Why do I feel like I want to do something to Kino but don't know what's on my mind?’
“Kaito..” Ryou calling
“Ya?”
“You're not crazy, are you?”
“No. Why?”
“Don't talk to my brother again. Brain hurts. This must be because that demonic woman named Seren became a fan of yours so your brain looks just like her. Unexplained, likes to mumble strange and labile things. What a grown-up kid!”
“.....” Kaito is speechless with a flat face
Now, Kaito could only hold back in front of the ailing Kino.
‘If it wasn't for thinking about Kino's feelings as her brother, I would have thrown Ryou out of this room’
