Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 141. Beautiful Gem and Soul bag. 3
Theo's face blushed in embarrassment as it was praised by Ryou. From the beginning he knew that Ryou was a good person and not so annoying. Since Ryou was the one who helped his friends and the younger brother of the good brother who had helped him, Theo certainly did not really hate him.
“Bi–what are you talking about, Ryou-nii?! I am a good boy, you are the only one who doesn't realize it!”
“Hee, your mouth can still answer yes. Basic tsundere” ledek Ryou while smiling ignorantly
“TSun..tsunde...what is it?” Theo asked with a confused face
Ryou just smiled and ignored him. He went to give Kino some juice. Kaito hasn't taken his eyes off Theo since entering. Feeling that something was wrong with Kaito's empty mind, Kino whispered to the younger brother.
“Is there something that happened after you guys came out of this room?”
“Nothing. He continues like that. I myself don't know what to do Ryou” replied in a whisper anyway
“Is it because of Kaito-san's gem? Is the gem really here? Could it be Theo-kun who.”.
“True. But, there were many things that could not be ignored by him. Therefore we should talk about this after they all go home”
“So”
The two brothers whispered to the curiosity of the children.
“What are you guys talking about?” ask Michaela
“Ah..bu–nothing. I'm talking about things only adults can know. You little kids can't know” Ryou said with reason
“Cheat once! I also have a big”, said Michaela while pouting
“Ahahaha, correct. Michaela-chan is already big. In the future, you can also exchange secrets with your other friends” Kino responded to the little girl with a sweet smile
“Then, later if it is big I will share the secret with Kino-niichan~”
Kino just smiled without giving a response, while Riz just fell silent without showing any expression.
His initial intention was to visit Kino to ask about the oddity in the teenager, but all turned into a long drama and he himself only acted as an audience. Very funny and ironic.
‘In the end there is nothing I can ask. Even so, I was lucky enough to see a veteran face Ryou's ruleless mouth. It's not that bad to be a spectator here since first come’ Riz spoke inwardly with pride
Time passed and the clock finally ended. It doesn't feel like everything they've done is over. The nurse had come and warned them of the finished clock.
“Kino-niichan, we go home first. We will be here again. Can ya?” michaela asked Kino with a blushing face
“Of course–”
“Cannot!”
“Eh? Ryou?”
Extremely genius, Ryou instantly cuts off Kino's conversation and ends up with Kino's confused face who can't say anything.
“Just this afternoon you guys don't need to come”
“Why is that?! Kino-nii just don't refuse!” Theo protested
“Now answer me, bad boys. Who woke my brother up when he was just sleeping?”
“Ukh..that's right..”.
“That's what? Try to answer who?” Ryou looked at them with a cold look
“Ka–we did it. But kan–”
“No but! My brother is a sick man! He needs rest and hours in this hospital like not giving him any breathing room, having to accept guests like you! Anyway you guys are back tomorrow or no need to come back at all!” ryou said firmly
“But Kino-niichan did not forbid us from coming, right?” Michaela protested
“Really! Ryou-niichan don't be evil like that!” another child stands up for Michaela
Ryou only listened to the protest from the small guinea pigs in front of him. With a cynical smile, he replied to her.
“You troublemakers, look at my brother's face there!” Ryou pointed towards Kino
The boys saw Kino and they were shocked. Kino also did not understand what was happening so could not say anything.
Now, the drama series from Ryou begins.
“See that pitiful face! My sister was very depressed because of lack of rest. He's not even conscious
if he is in the hospital and lying weak helpless like a person who has aged”
“Eh?” Kino was shocked to hear the words of her sister
“In fact, to hold the fork alone I'm sure he can't. I'm right, right?” ryou continued
“True too. Kino-niisan was only able to eat from our feed alone” Stelani began to be affected
“If Kino-niichan lack of rest, it will be longer in this hospital” Fabil also be affected
“Really, right? Indeed you do not want Kino to recover and eat with you again at the family restaurant you once told me that?” another free fabrication technique from Ryou's dialogue has been released
“True too. Kino-nii needs a break” Theo ends up being one of the victims of the drama Ryou
“.....” Kaito and Riz are silent
With all of Ryou's abilities, Riz could only say one sentence in his heart.
‘The mouth is really dangerous’
Kaito manages to forget the confusing thing in his mind for a moment and turns to praise Ryou's acting.
‘Congratulations to Yuki Ryou for being a real criminal. Turns out you're gifted at manipulating children's minds. Really in my surprise’
How amazing. The other praise for Ryou is finally rebelled back by Kaito. It didn't take long until all the children nodded in agreement with all the reasons.
“Alright, we understand. Kino-nii, we will come again tomorrow” Theo said as he approached Kino
“Ka–you sure? Will come again tomorrow?” Kino asked with the condition still digesting all of Ryou's dialogue just now
“Take it easy. We will also rest. Tomorrow we will bring you a lot of food
Kino waved her hand and was reciprocated by the children. Riz also just approached her to say goodbye.
“How about your weapons?” ask Riz before leaving the room
“If you don't mind, can you take it to the bar first? We will take it tomorrow if indeed Kino has been allowed to go home” Ryou said
“Good. I'll tell Uncle Joel downstairs. Hope you heal fast, Kino”
“Thank you very much, Riz-san. Give my regards to Joel-san and Arkan-san”
Riz came out with the kids. Finally, after an hour and a half had passed and the three of them could return. Ryou immediately sat on the patient's bed, right next to Kino.
“Drama done. They go and we can breathe a sigh of relief now”
“Ryou...really saying all that? About me who looks like an aged person and.”.
“Of course it's just a lie, my brother! Can't you raise your sense of humor a little?”
“You have a bad sense of humor, Ryou. I didn't expect your acting talent to beat me when selling your antidote time at ‘world noon’. See now, who is more talented to be a criminal?” Kaito insinuated Ryou with a relaxed tone
“One time when you talk?!” and Ryou did not accept that sentence
For a moment, the situation in the room warmed up again. But suddenly it turned silent. Kaito sat down on the chair and sighed for a moment.
“Already done with the debate?” ask Kino to her sister
“Aa, already. It feels tired once”
“Thank you for all the things you did” Kino told the two
“Nothing. Me and Kaito just try not to get too carried away
“But Ryou snapped at Theo-kun and the others. That means you were carried away in the atmosphere”
“I'm the quietest guy, Kino. Your sister is a genius” Ryou starts praising himself
“Whatever the person who feels the most genius just” and Kaito serve it
“.....” Ryou started seeing Kaito with his strange face
Kino tried to smile. Not long after, he started seeing Kaito.
“True too. Kino, the drug we discussed earlier is in–”
“Kaito-san..” Kino cut Kaito talk
“What's up?”
“At the moment Kaito-san accidentally collided with Theo-kun, did you see that your memory gem was on him?”
“....” Kaito is silent
“Ryou already said it. I also feel something strange. Theo-kun.have it right?”.
After a few seconds of not speaking, Kaito only nodded once and closed his eyes.
“Why not take it immediately? Wouldn't touching it get you back those lost memories?”
“If I do, we'll go our separate ways. With the way you are now, I don't know if you're going to go back to where you came from or get stuck with me again. Besides..”
“She said that Theo and the others were not NPCs but rather people who really live in ‘world’ this Ryou” continued Kaito's speech which stopped in the middle
“So that makes you anxious, Kaito-san?”
“All of these are connected, Kino. You know that too. Those pieces of memory were in the hands of the person who was in direct contact with the foreign territory. And I..still have to think of a better way to be able to get it without hurting that kid”
Kaito was serious about his words. He even thought of a few things.
‘If I remember seeing her for the first time on that narrow road, I felt something strange. Even when I was nearby, I still felt that something was unusual. He himself also seemed not so comfortable being close to me. Is it because the jewel rejected me? Or maybe there are other factors?’
Kino looked at Ryou. They both can't say anything. However, before this happened, the two brothers had issued a lot of arguments. Who would have thought that everything would change so soon.
“Kaito, I don't know if you want to listen to my advice or not. But if your goal is to get your memories back, then you should. Regardless of whether the boy has it or not, you should take it back”
“It won't be as easy as you think”
“And this will not end well as you expected!” Ryou raised his voice a little
“Ryou, relax” the brother tried to calm him back
“You think that by thinking of others, you can get what you want? I may be selfish but this is the way the world works! That also applies to this weird‘ world ’ now!”
“……”
“That piece is right in front of your eyes and you want to ignore it? What have you been fighting for all this time?”
“I just haven't found the right time to do it. Can't you stop saying all that like it's easy to do? If you were me, would you do it Ryou?” Kaito was still calm in the face of Ryou's emotions
“Alright, let's just say it's all you can do. Then, do you have any plans?” ryou asked in a trenchant tone
“For now, I still think about it”
“Until when?”
“Until finding the right time”
“Iya, but until when?”
“I still think about it”
Ryou. From that mouth, began to come out a sentence that represented his emotions just now.
“I know you're stupid, but I didn't think you could be this stupid to the point of continuing to make excuses that go around”
