Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 152. The Desire to Be Realized
“Rasa..yang I really miss” muttered Kaito
Although it was only for a short while, Kino and Ryou heard what was said by him and looked at him with puzzled looks.
“What did you say earlier, Kaito?”
“That missed feeling? Has Kaito-san ever eaten Japanese cuisine?”
“Is this cooking from where you came from? I just feel like I've seen a shape similar to this and.”.
“Dan...taste similar?” Kino asked back
“Slightly similar”
The two brothers saw each other. Not without reason, but it seemed like something was strange.
‘Similar feeling he said? Didn't he lose his memory? How could he say that?’ Ryou wondered in his heart
‘Could Kaito-san remember that because of the memories she had found?’ Kino also wondered in his heart
Kaito realized that attitude and straightened out his sentence immediately.
“This is not what you thought. ‘That person’, the one who helped me once made this dish before I went to look for my memory pieces. In terms of shape, color and taste are all almost similar. But, I'm not sure if it's your country's cuisine or not. After all, my place of origin is definitely not a country called Japan”
“So. We understood, Kaito-san” Kino was unwilling to extend all that and continued eating
It was strange but the two brothers decided to discuss it at a later time. The third one is back to eating.
Actually, it's very unusual. Since the three of them really did not feel hungry at all, it felt like something was lacking.
Kino and Ryou who had bought bread while looking for their lost pocket watch in the city center as well as Kaito who ate bread given by Kino at that time, all of it is eaten when they themselves do not realize that their hunger and thirst begin to disappear.
However, since this was the first dish cooked by Kino since his arrival in this strange ‘world’ then this became the most valuable cuisine for them.
No need to ask how the fate of all the food. They vanished, not left.
“Enak~I love tasty cuisine” Ryou looks satisfied
“Thank you for the food. Everything's good, Kino. I'm surprised that you're really good at cooking. It's beyond my expectations. Especially with the condition of your injured hand like this”
“I didn't lie when I said Kino cuisine was delicious, right?” Ryou is excited
It feels like here, Ryou looks like a proud parent in the work of his son. Kino just smiled and Kaito just nodded. Finished with all that, Kaito tidied up all the dirty dishes.
Kino took off the belt around her waist and placed it on the table.
“I will use the bathroom for a while to clean my body. Looks like I need to dry this outfit as well” Kaito said
“As far as you go” Ryou replied indifferently
He helped her change the bandage and apply the medicine. As Kaito bathed, the two brothers began to discuss something.
“Kino, I believe that Kaito may be from Japan” Ryou whispered
“I also feel that way, Ryou. Kaito-san says that her name is a gift from the person who helped her. The name Kaito itself is generally used more by the Japanese than in other countries”
“We said it the first time we met him, but he himself never heard the Japanese name. I'm sure there's something” Ryou looks very suspicious
“I also feel so”
Ryou became serious once and started thinking.
“Taste similar yes.nikujaga and tempura and karaage are already everywhere in our world. But it feels in ‘the other world’ it.it seems almost impossible. You agree too, Kino?
“There is a possibility that the person who is always called by the title of that person’ by Kaito-san has a relationship with the world we came from. Even though it was just my guess,” Kino started to put out his hypothesis
They're speechless. The silence ended when Ryou finished tying Kino's bandage together with Kaito who came out in his new clothes.
“You're discussing something?” ask Kaito who is drying his hair with a towel
“We...we just discussed what we should do after this” Kino quickly gave the answer
“Hmm..”
Kaito looked at them without giving any other comment and walked to his bed.
“I think I'm starting to forget how to sleep” murmured slowly
“What did you say earlier?” Ryou looked straight at Kaito
“I told you I'm starting to forget how to sleep. Unlike eating that I can still do even though I am not hungry, I can not sleep if not sleepy” continued Kaito
“Kino can sleep due to the effect of the drug. You want to take Kino's medicine to get some sleep?” Ryou gave a strange idea
“Ryou, don't say anything weird-odd”
“If it works, why not? I'd love to sleep. Maybe with that, I can forget a little about today”
“....” both brothers fell silent
Unexpectedly, Kaito completely agreed to that crazy idea. Of course in the end, they did not give the medicine to Kaito.
Inside the room, they just spent time sitting, wiping weapons and bathing. Almost none of them wanted to talk about the events at the bar and the gem. The three of them seemed to have agreed to calm down.
“What we buy soap for washing clothes?” asked Kaito who stood up while holding the clothes he was wearing earlier
“No buy. It seems like we all forgot it” replied Ryou who was busy cleaning his sword
“Kaito-san wants to wash your clothes?”
“Since this clothes we just bought, it's a pity if it ends with wine like this”
“What about your favorite robe? The gatekeeper's blood may have dried up” Ryou said
“I don't think that's a problem. Later also lost”
“Hah?!” Ryou was confused
Again a very ambiguous sentence. Ryou began to not understand what he meant.
“You two wait here yes. I guess I'll be out for a while to buy laundry soap”
“Why not take him to the washerman? So people don't bother themselves too often” Ryou gives advice
“If we do it will only cause an uproar. For people who do not have body scent like us in this ‘world’, it will only make us exposed to problems”
“You're right”
“Then you two don't go anywhere and–”
- Stuck…
There was a knock from outside. Kaito slowly walked towards the door. Since returning to the inn, the door of the room had been deliberately unlocked by him so Kaito was a little cautious.
“Who?”
“Master, someone is looking for you” said someone behind the door
Kaito opened the door and saw a servant standing.
“What's up?”
“Sorry sir, someone is looking for you under”
“Who? I never told this place to anyone. How could anyone find me this place? Are you sure they're looking for me and not the other guests?” Kaito asked with sharp eyes
“Kino?!” Kaito was surprised and looked behind him
“What's up?” The confused Kino asked Kaito
“Then what else?”
“Say they are also looking for someone who has a sword without a sword sheath”
Kaito immediately thought of the possibility of people coming.
“I'll be down to meet them”
Kaito quickly closed the door of the room and went out to follow the waiter.
“Why is he so panicked? Who is looking for us? I heard your name called, Kino”
“Could..”.
Kino couldn't possibly forget what he had said. Of course he knows who's coming.
Not long after, Kaito knocked on the door.
“Kino, Ryou, I'm in”
The two brothers were sitting on chairs and immediately they stood up as soon as they saw who had come.
“Kaito..it..” Ryou surprised.
Kaito's face was serious back then and he didn't intend to show any other expression except a cold and serious look. From behind Kaito, three children run to hug Kino.
“Hiks...Kino-niichan”.
“Kino-nii..”
“Kino-niisan..hiks...hiks..
Kino was surprised. Theo, Stelani and Fabil came and immediately hugged her while crying. Joel stood up and greeted them.
“Yo, sorry we came suddenly”
Seeing that, Ryou himself did not expect what he saw.
“Kaito, what does all this mean? Why did they come here?!”
“I don't know. But they were like this too when they saw me”
“Hah?! But–”
greeeb
Not yet done talking, Ryou gets a surprise from the boys as well. A warm embrace was enough to make him stop talking.
“Ryou-niichan.
“Ryou-niisan..”.
“Kakak fierce..”
Although Theo called him with a name that he did not like very much, but their embrace made him unable to say anything.
“Finely, We sit down first. Please enter” Kino allow everything to enter
Kaito immediately closed the door and sat down on the chair with Joel and Ryou, while Kino accompanied the three children to a large bed. With a calm tone and a flat facial expression, Kaito asked Joel.
“So...say there is a need what you guys came here for, mr manager?”
“I came because I accompanied the children. They insisted on meeting you so I came here”
Kaito looked towards the children.
“Do you know this place from Kino?” ask Kaito about the kids
“Umm” Stelani nodded
“Kino-niichan said that if we want to meet him, we can go to the residential area and look for him at this inn”
“You told them this address, Kino?” Ryou asked
“I told you about this place when we ate together at the family restaurant. I think they might need it”
Kino saw the three children.
“I didn't think you guys were really looking for me. I thought you guys hated me not wanting to see me again” Kino smiled softly
“We cannot possibly hate Kino-niisan!” Stelani hugged him again
“Really! Kino-niichan has helped us, there is no way we hate you!”
“I'm really sorry ya” Kino hugged those kids back
That haru moment was enough to make Ryou speechless. Not long after, he saw Joel with a serious face.
“So, there's no way you came just to show this heartwarming moment right? What's your purpose here? If you want to talk about the gem, the three of us decided not to discuss it in the meantime so–”
“Wait wait wait, don't talk like that! You have to hold back and let my kids do the talking. As a good parent, I just drove them here. Those who want to meet Kino and Kaito. As he said” Joel explained his point
“Meet me?”
Kaito was quite surprised by that. Not long after, Theo stood up and walked over to Kaito while extending his hand.
“Kaito-nii..”
“......!!!” Kaito was quite surprised by that
“This necklace.is a necklace that has been with me since childhood. I don't remember who gave it to me, but I think it's probably the legacy of both of my parents. Ever since I had it, I've never told anybody”
……” Kaito listen
“I want to be honest if..on the day you went to save Kino-nii, this necklace.
“What?!” the three teenagers were~~~~ surprised
Joel and the other two children were silent without saying any words as if they already knew it.
“I think it's just my feeling, but.This necklace never shines as far as I can remember. I just thought that maybe because what you said was right. Therefore..I decided to return this to you” said Theo
But before Kaito saw her, Theo pulled her hand back and hugged her.
“But..but Kino-niichan said that if you take it, you will instantly disappear and we will never see you again! Hiks.hiks...aku.we all still want to do a lot with Kino-nii and all of you. Hiks...eat..eat at restaurant..”.
“Hiks...we want to eat at that restaurant again with Kino-niisan and..go shopping together..” Stelani come crying.
“Go...go shopping for new clothes and buy cream cake..hiks...” said Fabil who tried to hold back his tears.
“Other kids have imagined a lot of things with you. But if you leave before everything materializes.later..later the others will be sad..hiks...huwaaa” Theo cried in Kaito's arms.
Now, the three teenagers could only stare at them all sadly.
“I want all those wishes to come true. I want to be able to eat with all of you at the dinner table like family”
