Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 123. Tears and the Brotherhood
“R–Ryou?! What's up?” Kino was surprised because the sister was crying in her arms
“Hiks. Please don't hate your sister. Hiks..forgive me..forgive me...”.
“Ryou? Wh why? Kaito-san, what exactly–” is
“I'm sorry, Kino” Kaito also lowered his head with a sorry look
Kino was just trying to calm down while rubbing her sister's back.
“I won't hate you. Why did Ryou say such a strange thing?”
“Hiks...hiks..”.
Ryou said nothing for a few minutes and only cried in the arms of the older brother. Kino could not listen to her cries and waited until she stopped.
“Ryou...” Kino calls her sister
“Hiks...hiks..”.
“Ryou..”
“Hiks...hiks..”.
“Haaah..Ryou, if you hold me like this continue.
Hearing that, Ryou immediately let go of his embrace and saw the face of the older brother. Tears are still flowing.
“See, it's fine right? Don't cry anymore ya” Kino wiped Ryou's tears with her hands
Before she finished wiping away the tears, Ryou held her hand tightly and came back crying.
“I...apologies..hiks...I am not a good sister to you”.
“Why talk like that? Ryou's a good brother to me and–“
“A good sister will not be a killer!!” Ryou shouted
“.....” Kino just fell silent without changing his expression
“I..i'm the killer now. I killed someone and I. I have become a killer now!”
“.....” Kino only listens to his sister crying in front of him
“Kino, I also apologize to you”
“Kaito-san.
“This is all my fault. If only I could control myself back then.if only I had noticed Ryou back then, this would not have happened” Kaito blamed himself.
“This is not his fault, this is my fault!”
Ryou told Kino everything.
“At that time.When I chased Theo out of the bar, I met the other kids. When I heard from them that you were attacked and hurt by Justin's actions, I was very angry and could not control my emotions. Hiks..aku..”.
Ryou's hand grip is getting stronger. Kino simply fell silent and did not change her expression at all.
“Kino, I'm guilty too. I told Ryou to control himself so as not to lose his humanity. But, since the person who tortured the children was not a kind-hearted human being so I thought I could do something by ignoring my own humanity side”
“Kaito-san.
“Mr bartender didn't tell you all the events in the bar. When I fought Justin and nearly got him dead, he was alive. When me and the bartender took her into the room at the bar before Ryou and the boys came, she was still breathing even though both of her arms had been cut off
“Then..I killed him! I killed him with my own hands. Hiks..”
“Ryou..”
Kaito looks so sorry to hear Ryou's confession. He really felt responsible for everything that happened.
“When I heard from Kaito that the demon named Justin was in his room, I went inside. Although I was stopped by Kaito, but..but I did it because I was angry!! I'm angry that he got you involved and made you hurt!! I hate him and..hiks..I killed him.hiks...” Ryou confessed to everything.
Kino tries to release Ryou's hand from her. However, as soon as her hand was removed, Ryou hugged her back hysterically.
“Don't hate me! I beg you, forgive me! I'm doing this for you! Don't hate me, please! Nii-san.hiks.forgive your sister who has become this murderer, but.but I did this to save you! Forgive me, forgive me. I'm sorry”.
Kaito who heard that could only hold back his tears until his eyes turned red.
‘If it wasn't for my carelessness, this wouldn't have happened’ Kaito blamed himself
Kino just closed her eyes and gently stroked her sister's hair with a smile.
“I'm very lucky to have a good sister like you, Ryou”
“......!!!” Ryou was surprised and let go of his wound
“I'm sorry for making you feel such a bad thing. Forgive me for being a weak sister”
“I–it's not true! Nii-san is not–”
“Ryou is not a killer. Ryou is a savior. Kaito-san also does not kill. I know you two beat that gatekeeper too, right?”
“......!!!” Kaito looked at Kino with a surprised look
“I know there's something hidden from me, but I'm sure it's all to help me. I'm sorry I made you both feel this way. Please, stop blaming yourself”
Kino smiled with tears flowing. She cried. The thought that the two people who cared so much about him to the point of doing such a dangerous thing made him so sad and moved.
“Thank you for doing everything to help me. I owe you both a lot. Thank you very much”
Ryou came back crying and could not stop his tears. The atmosphere in the place turned into a day.
Behind the door, Arkan turns out not to go from there and listens to everything from the outside. Covering his mouth with one hand, he stood up with trembling hands.
‘They..’.
Inwardly, Arkan thought that what he heard was something too moving.
After which, he started walking down towards the exit to sit on a chair nearby.

Inside the room, Kino still continued to stroke her sister's hair.
“Don't cry anymore. If Ryou cries, I will join in crying” said Kino with a smile
“Nii-san.
“That's why, it's been a long time since Ryou has called me that. Rarely does Ryou become a spoiled mode like this”
Kino wiped her own tears. After that, he wiped away the tears of his sister back.
“Try seeing my little brother. Usually his mouth was full of other people's heartbreaking sentences, but now in a spoiled fashion like this. Sweetness” said Kino while smiling while teasing her
“.....” Ryou is silent
“Kaito-san too. Your face is no different from Ryou now”
“Let's just say I'm in sorry mode right now. You can ignore me” Kaito replied with a faint smile
Kino just smiled with a flushed face. He looked back at the little brother who started to look like a kitten.
“It's done?” Kino asked his sister
“What?”
“Your confession” replied Kino while teasing her
“...Ma–there are more, but–”
Kaito cuts Ryou's conversation with an unexpected sentence.
“Didn't you prostrate while reading out a long list of your sins to Kino, Ryou?”
“Tangled?”
“A–what are you..”
Ryou glanced at the older brother and his face instantly flushed like a tomato out of embarrassment.
“It...um...”.
“What is Ryou's list of sins as long as I'm not near you?”
“Only...only along...along...Ei! Sick people don't tease me! You also don't talk about Kaito!” Ryou so snapped at Kaito while pointing at his face
“You said it yourself. I'm just reminding you that we still have confession debt while prostrating” Kaito answered very casually without sin
“You didn't say that! You think I'm deaf! You just said I should apologize while prostrating with my sin list!”
Kaito begins to change, from regret mode to self-defense mode of Ryou's mockery. Now, the two of them faced each other with faces ready to mentally attack their opponents.
“Oi, did you forget? You said it yourself when we were on the black market. You said you'd apologize to him while reading all the lists of sins you've made! Now, I'm asking you where's the list you should have written?”
“I.. I did mean to write it–“
“Many reasons” Kaito cut Ryou's sentence in a flat tone
“Oi! Don't tell me all the bad things I did were just me being wrong huh! Not like you who don't admit that he's a creamy puff!”.
“What did you want to call me?”
“No” this time, Ryou who replied with a plain face
“Lying! Remember yes, the only one who can insult me as a criminal is Kino! You're a criminal like me too! Do not try to call me that title again ya”
“As you know, I still have one more name that will stick to you at any time!”
“What do you mean it?”
“Sociopathic base! A shitty memory loss guy! Faces that fall into the category of fugitive search!”
“What you mentioned was three, not one! Abnormal otherworldly teen base!”
“Hei! You forget, you said yourself that my brother and I are already out on the list of normal humans you know!”
“Pull my words, Kino is normal but you are not!”
“What did you say?!”
“What do you want?!”
In the patient's ward, there is a fierce fight between two teenagers who do not want to budge each other. Moreover, the patients in the room could only stare at them with shocked faces.
“Not...some time ago we were still in a state of teasing and crying? Where did all those moments go?” Kino muttered to herself in a soft voice
While the two people were still busy with the war of his mouth.
“I don't want to continue being a victim of that spicy mouth of yours, Ryou”
“Heh! When did you get to be from me?”
“I would love to lock you in the toilet of this room. Or at the very least, drugging you not to talk much”
“Do it if you can?! You're just a labile teenager with bad taste!”
“Um...friends..”.
Kino seeks to summon those who are still preoccupied with the war of his mouth, but are ignored.
“Friends...” once again he calls them
And back ignored.
“Both of you, if it is not quiet better get out of this room and let this sick me rest”
- Deg
Ryou and Kaito instantly looked towards Kino who was smiling sweetly at the two of them.
“If you are not calm, please get out of here. The door is there and you can open it” right away
“Kino..”
“Nii-san”
“I asked him politely, right? And Ryou.even though you are in spoiled mode though, if you are noisy and keep saying rude things to Kaito-san.I will not allow you here to accompany me. Do you understand, my sister?”
“……”
Kino's friendly smile could be interpreted as the sharpest weapon that made Ryou and Kaito go silent instantly.
The two men finally agreed on one thing in common.
‘The anger of the friendly man turned out to be very terrible’
That was the end of the fierce fight. What an unexpected result because the winner was Kino, the patient who became a loyal listener of all the insults.
