Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 155. Beautiful Gem and Soul bag. 14
At the bar [Barre des Noirs], Arkan accompanies Maggy waiting for the return of Joel and the other three children.
Arkan looked at the clock on the wall and the time had shown it at 17:00 p.m.
“It's too late in the afternoon. What has Jey done until now?” Maggy looks worried
Maggy saw her children sleeping in the bar tired of waiting.
“Luckily only today bar closed” murmured Arkan slowly
“Not good because we lack income for today, Arkan” Maggy replied
“Maggy-sama, we are not discussing it”
“Iya I know. Ouch, Jey..he really..”.
Just as Maggy wanted to say something, she suddenly heard a carefree voice and laughter coming.
“We go home~” exclaim Theo and the other two children
“You're home?! Finally!!” Maggy greeted them with pleasure
The woman approached the three children and hugged them.
“Mana Joel-papa?” ask Maggy
“I'm here, Maggy”
“Jey! Where have you been? Didn't you say you'd be home soon after going to the inn at–”
“Maggy-mama, listen!! We've gone to meet Kino-niisan and eaten Kino-niisan-made dishes!”
“Eh? Eat?”
Maggy was surprised to hear that, but she was even more surprised because the expression on her third face looked happy. Arkan was also quite shocked to hear that. He could not stop himself from asking.
“You really met them?”
“Yes, Arkan-niichan! We've met Kino-niichan and the others! They were staying in the inn he had told us about. Isn't that right, Joel-papa?” Fabil replied with a cheerful smile
“O–oh! That's so. Although we did not bring anything while there, but Kino did make food for us” explained Joel
“So...means you guys are full ya” Maggy smiled.
“Maggy-mama, Kaito-nii said that they will stay here first so we can still play there!”
Theo looked very cheerful. In contrast to before, he had already completely forgotten all those sad things and cries.
Michaela who was asleep in the chair finally woke up. Along with that, a shouting voice sounded.
“Theo-niichan home!! Welcome~”
The other kids welcomed him too.
“Welcome Joel-papa~”
“Stelani-neechan finally home~”
“Welcome Fabil-niichan~we've been waiting”
Instantly things became crowded. Joel and the three children came in and sat down together. They were excited to hear the stories of the four people. Theo, Stelani and Fabil were very excited to tell the story of what the three did with Kino and the other two brothers.
“Cheat! I also want to eat Kino-niichan cuisine!” Michaela whines
“Taste Kino-niichan must be delicious. Yes, right Joel-papa?” ask the other child
“But still more delicious Maggy-mama” cuisine Joel switched the conversation
Arkan and Maggy just saw them all telling stories.
“Thank God it all ended well yes, Maggy-sama”
“Bar”
For a moment Arkan fell silent, then asked Joel.
“Manager, if they're all that fun..What does that mean they've found a way out to solve the problem about the gem?”
“About that, as the little boy said earlier that Kaito said that he would be here until Kino's hand was healed so the gem was still on Theo”'s necklace
“Still on Theo?”
“True. As they explained, if the gem were to touch Kaito directly then the gem would directly enter his body and it was likely that they would disappear”
“But, Kino said the possibility is still uncertain right?”
“They say that the possibility is still 50:50, but just in case, Kaito wants Kino to recover first” continued Joel
“So”
Arkan was quite relieved to hear that. Now he knows that the children's happy smiles are because they know that Kino and their two auxiliary sisters will still be here. However, one thing worried him.
“Manager, I hope this is unknown to others even Riz though. There is no guarantee he will be able to keep his mouth shut even though he is my friend”
“I know. It's about the black market manager, right? I hope we really have nothing to do with those two. The fact that the three teenagers were from another world was enough to shock me. Better
only we know it”
“I also agree. We can't put the kids in danger, Jey. We're their parents now” Maggy added
“I know that, Maggy. That's why I adopted them. It is a step to protect them
all”
At the [Herbergement Clarks] inn, Ryou was seen laying down his body on the bed with a tired face.
Kino, who was sitting in a chair with Kaito, tried to calm her sister down.
“Ryou, don't talk like that. They are good kids and I love them. They are sweet like Ryou when he was a kid”
“Manic? They sweet? You seriously say that? They even pray for you not to heal faster!! They are annoying little demons!”
“Ryou, I told you not to talk rudely so”
“I need to remind you that they almost pulled you home with them just now!!” Ryou looks like he's exploding like a mature crab
“Ryou..”
“Kaito, lock the door and blacklist them from here! If necessary do not extend this place and find a new place!” Ryou started to fuss
“You really don't like kids huh?” Kaito asked with a flat face
“I don't like those who are naughty and don't know themselves!”
“But you yourself don't know yourself either, do you?” Kaito seems to know how to insinuate Ryou now
“.....” Ryou saw Kaito sitting on a chair with an annoyed face
Not long after, Kino looked at Kaito with a smile.
“But, Kaito-san.I still didn't expect that Kaito-san would say such a thing to them. I'm really very surprised”
“About we will still be here until your hand is healed?”
“Bar”
Kaito saw the bandage on Kino's hand.
“I'm really quite worried about the condition of your hand. Even though it may be the wound will be fine, but that does not mean it is not dangerous”
“Kaito didn't take the wrong decision, Kino. I pretty much agree with that. At least, we can confirm that the gem is on Theo. After all, the boy was also willing to give it to Kaito” Ryou to talk
“So. I understand”
There was already not much they could do except calm down. In the afternoon, Ryou decides to lay down his body on the bed while Kaito undoes his intention to buy laundry soap.
Kino just smiled and saw the two people finally calm down.
The night has come. Not much is done by the teenagers.
“Is there anything else we can do? It's too peaceful” Ryou murmured
“You're trying to get out for shopping again? We can buy laundry soap that was delayed because the previous guest” Kino suggested something
“It looks like it can. We can't feel sleepiness anyway. If we could sleep, it would be a different story. I don't want to be quiet like in the hospital yesterday” Ryou started grumbling
Kaito looked at the two brothers with great confidence.
“Saranku we buy sleeping pills to sleep. I'd love to feel a quick sleep in a matter of minutes like Ryou did last time”
“You're insulting me huh, Kaito?”
“I'm serious. At least if you are in doubt with high-dose sleeping pills, we can buy sleeping pills in the form of tea or herbal drinks. There are many in the drug store as I visited a while ago”
“Hmm..it seems possible too. Wonderful idea. We can also buy more bandages for Kino's wounds. How?”
“I understand. In that case, we go ya” Kino nodded
That night, the three of them decided to go out. And for the first time they came out without any weapons. There is no stranger idea than buying sleeping pills. Since they had no more drowsiness, it seemed like Kaito missed a good sleep.
On the main street of the bustling downtown, the three teenagers were finally able to enjoy a normal night.
Kaito looks at Kino and asks her to talk.
“It's your first time going shopping at night right, Kino?”
“Kaito-san's right. When night falls when ‘the night’ world disappears, Ryou and Kaito-san are gone, right? I don't even remember when you guys came back”
“Because you slept well at that time” Ryou said
“Ryou correct. I'm glad we could go all three like this. I so feel.at least we can still feel life as ordinary children without having to fight”
“You're right Kino”
Ryou looks at a toy store with a water gun and remembers something.
“Kaito, what happened to the gun I gave you back then?”
“Pistol?” Kino was confused
“The gun we got from the gorilla's men while trying to ambush me and Kaito. We beat them and took their guns. We took him to the black market ourselves and I'm sure the gun was taken by you again, Kaito”
“I gave that to mister bartender. Since I no longer needed it, so I gave it to her. It might be more useful in his hands. Although I am not sure if the gun is still on him or not”, Kaito replied in a relaxed tone
“So. Yes already. Finally we can escape the cynical gazes of the people because you no longer carry your ungloved sword”
“I keep our weapons under the bed and in the wardrobe” Kaito continued
“Kaito-san..really very alert ya”.
“It was the thing taught by ‘people it’. He said that the weapons you didn't carry should be hidden in a separate place just in case”
Hearing the word ‘that person’, Ryou looked at Kino with a serious face. Unbeknownst to Kaito, the two brothers increasingly want to find out who Kaito really is.
‘Could the person Kaito refers to as ‘that person’ is the owner of our pocket watch?’
