Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 126. After the Genesis bag. 8
At that time, Theo prayed by holding his necklace. Theo removed the pendulum from his hands as soon as he finished praying without seeing it again. At that time, the pendulum again showed a strange light. Although she was not aware of it, Michaela had seen it.
“Theo-niichan, the necklace shines again!”
“What?”
After Theo realized it, the light of the necklace vanished. He could only see his necklace pendulum.
“Not because of the light effect?”
“Hmm..seems not. I'm sure but..um..” the little girl is back confused.
“Consider it is exposed to light, Michaela”
“Is that? Hmm...please then”
Theo only smiled hearing the innocent reply from the little girl. Stelani and Fabil who were walking in front of him now could only whisper to each other.
“Nee, isn't Theo a little more mature? Am I the only one who feels that way, Fabil?”
“I understand what you mean. I feel so myself too. I guess as long as we're not around, Theo has done something to these kids”
“Thank God. Turns out, our absence near her was good enough for her. I'm happy, he doesn't steal anymore” Stelani smiles hearing that
Along the way, they discussed many things including what the children were getting in the city.
“Stelani-neechan, Fabil-niichan..do you like the clothes we bought?” ask a child
“Of course like. These clothes are really good. Thank you for buying it for us” Fabil said with a smile
“Ehehe, we choose it together when shopping. Theo-niichan also chose a lot of clothes for us. We have many nice and clean clothes now!”
“True. Nice clothes and don't smell” said another little boy
“Nothing is broken and hollow. Just like other kids~” other little kids are wilting
Theo could see and hear what the people before him were talking about.
Is correct. Since two days had passed, Stelani and Fabil had been wearing the fine clothes they had gotten once they got home from the hospital.
******
This all happened two days ago during the day, when Theo and the children reached the shopping area in the city.
They surrounded many places around the stall which was located not far from the altar. From clothing and shoe stores, they now turn to food stalls.
“Theo-niichan, we bought the skewer meat earlier in this place” exclaimed Michaela
“The flesh is soft and tender once~”
“True. I like it”
The other kids started telling me the same thing. The seven children began visiting a clothing and shoe store.
Inadvertently, Michaela stopped her steps.
“Michaela?” Theo who was holding her so stopped and looked at the sweet girl
There was a simple shop that provided children and adults clothing near where they stopped. The place seemed to have caught the little girl's attention.
“Theo-niichan!! Look at that, look at that!!” Michaela pulled Theo's hand and ran towards a shop
“Mi–Michaela!!” Theo was surprised to be pulled by the little girl
They stopped at the shop's front window and saw a lot of things. The other children ran after the two.
“What's up, Michaela?” Theo asked the little girl
“See this! Lots of nice and cheap clothes! Better than the place I went with Joel-ojichan yesterday! Come log in!”
“O–oo...”
Theo can't resist Michaela's wishes and they go inside. It didn't take long for them to get the clothes they wanted. The other kids seem to take a lot straight away.
It is quite surprising that all of this is so cheap. For the size of the children's clothing, Theo can buy it with the money given by Joel.
‘This...is it true we can use all this money to buy this much groceries?!’ Theo began to wonder in his heart
There was actually no point in him asking so, since the large amount of money was indeed given to all those children. Joel was very generous once, even though he was perverted in Theo's eyes.
“Is there something you're looking for, sweet boy?” asked a maid who came to Theo
“Ah! That..”
Theo was shocked to the point of not being able to say anything. Even so, there was a child who quickly approached the maid and asked for some things.
“Beautiful sister, I want to buy that play dress and that. I asked for those sleeping pants, too. Can it be packed also to take home?”
“Mi–Michaela!!” Theo immediately shouted in panic at the girl's sentence
“What's up, Theo-niichan?”
“Ka–ka–ka–you!! Ba–how can you ask the servant sister to wrap your groceries?!”
“But I do want all of that. There are clothes suitable for Stelani-neechan as well, nee~” replied plainly with a smile
“That's not what I mean! I mean, where did you learn something like that?!”
“Learn which one?”
“Learn take the groceries you want to buy!”
“Hmm? From Joel-ojichan” once again, plain answer from the little girl
“Hah?”
“Joel-ojichan was shopping like that. I just want to say I want this one and I want that one. The servant sister directly wrapped it. Aren't you, servant sister?”
“True. I'll wrap it up for this sweet little sister. So, what do you want to buy another one?” asked the waiter with a friendly smile
“Se–sewhile! Sorry for a minute!” Theo instantly pulled Michaela's hand into the corner of the store
“You! I told you not to follow that perverted uncle! If the money is less how?” theo whispered in panic
“The money is many, Theo-niichan. If you count that, Theo-niichan won't get a boyfriend. Stelani-neechan won't marry you later”
“A–what do you mean?! Who wants to marry Stelani?!” Theo so reddened like a ripe tomato that after made soup
Michaela just smiled sweetly and went to the maid's place. The best part is that Joel draped the little bag with all his money on the girl. Now, the little girl is actually implementing what Joel did while shopping with them today.
“...Female..so very scary if already shopping..” murmured Theo slowly from a distance.
It only took less than half an hour, the total shopping bags in their hands had already reached 12 bags. And it's all just clothes, including underwear and socks. When receiving a grocery receipt, Theo almost had a heart attack.
“Du–du–two ri..2.370 Franc?!! It's called robbery!!” theo shouted in front of the door of the clothing store
All the children were seen carrying grocery bags in both hands and ignoring Theo's screams that almost became a grain of dust.
Theo instantly stared cynically and pulled Michaela back.
“Bad kid! What did you just do?!”
“Shopping” answers plainly
“Not that I mean!!”
“But we did run out shopping, Theo-niichan” said a little boy standing next to Michaela
“You shut up for a minute! I'm talking to this kid”
“Theo-niichan, we pay with money. We do not steal or rob. Look at that, the servant brother was still giving us a wave of hands”
Theo looked at the direction Michaela pointed at. It was seen that the maid still gave her sweet smile to the children who were already outside the clothing store.
“By Kino-nii, I won't let you spend any more money! Watch out for you!” theo's threat
But, it seemed that the simple threat did not work on those children.
“Theo-niichan, you're evil. We just went shopping for the Stelani-neechan and Fabil-niichan sections. We haven't even bought a cream cake with fruit to welcome Kino-niichan later. Kino-niichan will hate you later. Just look” Michaela replied to Theo while pouting
“Bad child..” Theo muttered while clenching his hands.
All the other kids just smiled and laughed looking at Theo's face. In the end, Theo could only sigh and wander around again in search of a cake shop.
“Listen! This time, let me buy a cake for Kino-nii”, Theo told Michaela, bringing her groceries in hand
“OK!” the little girl simply smiled cheerfully as she gave her thumb to Theo
After a few minutes, they saw a bakery that sold the cream cake in question.
“Theo-niichan!!” all the children pointed to the place
While visiting the place, the store owner had a chance to look at him with an unusual gaze.
“Happy da...tang? Huwaa~very sweet customer. Can anyone help?”
“Master, I want to buy this cream cake. How much?” ask Theo
The designated cake has a lot of strawberries on it and with a white cream that looks very tempting. All the kids loved it so much and directly targeted the cake for purchase.
“It's a birthday cake. It costs 25 Franc”
It is quite expensive for the size of the cream cake. But, its large size makes it quite worth buying. Theo did not want to choose many things and finally decided to buy them.
“Thank you very much, kids”
After leaving the store. They looked so happy with the cake.
“We go back to the bar first so that the cake is not damaged. After putting down all these groceries, we go again. How?” theo
All the children just nodded in agreement with a cheerful face. It is too waste of energy if you have to return to deliver all the groceries. But given the number of their empty hands - just one to two - the children had no other choice.
They walked back towards the altar and passed the road behind him to return to the bar. Not much is being said at the moment. Only a cheerful smile accompanied them as well as the sound of laughter.
Theo who was carrying a shopping bag and cake in his hand kept looking at the parcels he had just bought.
“Kue for Kino-nii and others” murmured slowly with a thin smile
For about 25 minutes they walked and finally reached the bar. At first they were very happy to bring all the groceries.
“Joel-ojichan! We rumah~” exclaim those kids
“Some uncle, look who we bought i...you why?”
Theo looked at Joel like he was a little agitated and confused. He asked the big man but was only answered with a smile and a welcome welcome from his mouth.
“Oi, what's up?” ask Theo
“You...your friends and those people, now in the hospital in downtown” Joel told them with a doubtful face
“They are already...they are already here?! How is she doing?! What about Kino-nii?!”
All the children dropped their groceries and immediately embraced each other while crying. Theo walked towards Joel with the position still holding all his groceries.
“Say, how do you know?! How do you know they're back?! Are you sure? Answer me, perverted uncle!”
“Some time ago, an acquaintance of mine named Riz came to tell me that they managed to save two of your friends and a teenager named Kino. But, because your Kino-niichan condition is quite severe so he was immediately rushed to the hospital in downtown”
Hearing that, Theo dropped all his groceries. He nearly destroyed the cake he had bought as well, but Joel's reflexes were so quick that it managed to derail him.
“Oi! You almost dropped this cake, boy! It's free for you to buy..bokah? Oh! Boy?!”
Theo instantly knocked himself down and sat on the floor in shock to hear it.
“Kino-nii..wounded..Kino-nii...” his face turned pale instantly.
Joel, who was holding a piece of cake in his hand, went awry.
