Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 156. Strong Want Tau
‘Could the person Kaito refers to as ‘that person’ is the owner of our pocket watch?’
Ryou had thought of something that still bothered him.
Ever since Kaito said that he missed the taste of Kino's cooking which he thought was similar to the one he had tasted, many prejudices have sprung up.
As they walk down the main street looking through things, Ryou thinks of everything Kaito told him when Joel came.
[That guy’, the guy who helped me once made this dish before I went to look for my memory pieces]
[The person who helped me only told me that my memories were scattered into pieces of purple-colored gems, but I didn't know anything else]
[The person who helped me has some kind of power that is possible if in the other world it is called magic]
[The person who helped me told me that he found me in his backyard. When she found out I couldn't remember anything, she gave me a name and did something with magic to help me]
[He knew what I was going through and told me about my memory pieces]
‘Kaito does not tell us who and what it looks like from ‘people it’. But, since we were at ‘world malam’ that time, Kaito had already said about him and the origin of his name’ Ryou murmured in his heart
Returning to his hindsight, Ryou recalled what happened when he and the older brother fell asleep at the inn as they hid from the goblins.
Just then, Kaito muttered to himself without being noticed by him. Ryou still remembered that clearly as it had just happened yesterday.
[If I remember back.. since meeting with ‘that person’, I never thought that I would stay alive until this point]
[‘That person’ helped me and gave me hope to live. One of those hopes is this pocket watch]
[When I heard that I was able to find my memories that were in a very far place, I had already decided on the purpose of my life. I was determined to find that piece of memory and regain all that had been lost from this body and heart]
*[Despite ‘people being’ many times warning me that the place is so dangerous, I still insist on leaving. All*the memory went through a lot of space and time that I could not get to in the usual way]
There is one other thing that Ryou is in the limelight, given that, Ryou's eyes widen.
[Every time I close my eyes, I always see the same dream. Someone was crying and there was something nearby that made him sad. After that it's all dark and there's only black]
Ryou realized something.
‘Kaito said it unconsciously, that he always sees nightmares when sleeping. Could it be part of his memory? And what he said while he was at ‘world malam’ that time, could it be..’.
Before Ryou finishes his sentence, Kaito calls Ryou.
“Ryou, why daydream so? We will go into this store”
“Ah!!” Ryou stumbled from his mind
“Ryou, you're fine, right? I'm going to go in with Kino to this shop to get some laundry soap. You wanna wait outside?”
“I...i'm in! Of course I'm in! Don't try to leave me alone!”
“....” Kaito is silent
Silence seeing Ryou's movements was abnormal. Like something was hidden or thought of. But, considering this is the time to relax makes Kaito not pay too much attention.
After buying some items including laundry soap, they move to the main destination.
“So, where can get tea that can make us sleep well?” ask Ryou
“Return to the first drugstore when we are in ‘world noon’. That place is still in this ‘world’ as well. It's the same with the bakery that gave us the room when Ryou passed out that time” Kaito explained casually
“Then, other places like your subscription store used to be there too right?”
“Still. Looks like the whole place in ‘world day’ is all in this place. Altar and fountain only there means that others are also there”
“Causible. You're right” Ryou agrees with Kaito's simple thinking
Seeing them calm down and no longer arguing because of the small matter made Kino happy. They reached the drugstore [Magasin de drogue].
“Hoo, it's still there. It's so, so many” Ryou murmured
“Come in”
Kino opened the door. Initially, he was quite surprised to see the person serving him was the same person he met while at ‘world noon’ that time. Kino whispered to Kaito.
“Kaito-san..is it possible.”.
“That's the guy who served us that time”
“The waiter doesn't remember what we ordered, does he?”
“Of course not. You're still worried about that after we've been here for almost a week, Kino?”
“I...I just still feel guilty” Kino looks anxious
“Do not think about it”
Ryou approached the female servant.
“Welcome mr”
“Excuse me, we want to buy herbal tea for a deep sleep and sleeping pills if there”
“Please wait...ah! Handsome master who was exposed to tomato juice back then!” the waiter exclaimed as he saw Kaito standing behind Ryou
Ryou looked straight back and looked at Kaito with a strange look. Kino who was standing beside him stared in confusion. It seemed like the two of them were quite surprised to hear the welcome from the medicine shop's waiter.
“Good-looking master said?” ryou muttered softly
“Kaito-san.
“I really don't know anything.” Kaito tried to defend himself.
“Master who at that time bought medicine for your friend, right?”
“Oh...iya..” replied Kaito with a forced smile
Quickly the female servant was more focused on Kaito. Of course Ryou retreated to where the elder brother was and left everything to Kaito right now.
“Why retreat, Ryou?” whispered Kino
“Let that handsome master face them. Who knows we can discount”
“Ryou..”
“He who holds it, Kino. Just leave it to him. Let's see, after he saw my great ability when bidding at the vegetable stall this afternoon, he could practice it or not” Ryou smiled cunningly
“What handsome master wants to buy? Your friend said you want to buy herbal tea to sleep?”
“O..I–iya. I want to buy herbal teas that can help us get to sleep. Also sleeping medicine if there”
Kaito said in his heart.
‘Why did they give me such an ambiguous strange nickname?’
Kino looked around him and it seemed that many sharp eyes were pointing at all of them. Especially Kaito.
“Ryou..”
“What?”
“The atmosphere here ‘very hot’. We'd better get out for a while, yeah” Kino told Ryou figurative language
“Hot? I don't think”
“See your surroundings”
“Circular?” Ryou looked around
Not long after that he looked at the elder brother while opening his mouth.
“Ooo...aku..understand you mean”.
“Kita...out?”
“No! We wait until ‘warfare’ Kaito ends”
Ryou seemed to ignore the hot gazes of the other customers. How not, Kaito seems to be very attractive to the female servants in the store.
After facing a long ‘warfare’ in the drug store, the three of them came out with ‘happy’. At the very least, Kaito had to receive a cynical look for a while. They decided to go somewhere else.
“I will cross that place from now on” Kaito said with a cynical expression
“You are very popular, handsome sir. How many girls ask your name?” Ryou taunting Kaito
“Kino, please tell your sister to stop teasingku” Kaito is starting to get a little upset
“Ryou...” Kino tries to calm the sister
“Ahahaha, I really can't believe an amnesiac man like you managed to drive a drugstore waitress crazy. I seem to underestimate you too much. Ahahaha” Ryou laughed loudly on the road
“……”
Kaito looked annoyed but did not intend to retaliate. He remembers the law when he replies to Ryou's comments, so chooses to give in.
“We can a lot of herbal teas and sleeping pills. Is it really okay?” Kino glanced towards the shopping bag carried by Kaito
“No problem. I'd love to sleep. Although I might have seen some strange dreams, it felt like sleeping was something my body needed in addition to food intake. At the very least, it gives me a chance to remember that I'm human”
Kaito's words made Kino and Ryou speechless.
“You are right, Kaito. if you forget how to eat and sleep due to too long in this strange ‘world’, next maybe we will forget how to breathe” Ryou chirped
What a sentence that is very suitable to describe the current state.
After spending the rest of the time to go buy other items, the three returned to the inn.
Upon arrival in the room, Kaito locked the door and placed all his groceries on the table.
“Finally until~” Ryou instantly dropped himself on the bed
“We shop a lot. Thank you very much, Kaito-san”
“It's all thanks to the money from the manager's master. Most importantly we get this, herbal teas and sleeping pills. I think it would be better to make the herbal tea now. After that we take his sleeping pills to help us to rest”
Kino took the tea and made it. While waiting for Kino to finish with her tea, Ryou glanced at Kaito who was putting groceries into a drawer near the wardrobe.
‘I think I wanted to ask him about what he said this afternoon. Maybe after Kino finished’ he thought
Finished with his herbal tea, Kino served it to the two of them. While holding his piece, they sat casually on the chair.
“Haa~Japan should drink tea. Although it is not Japanese green tea but it is still better than nothing” Ryou said as he drank his tea
“Teh is delicious. I didn't think there was such good tea. This tea from another world that I quite like” Kino also seemed to enjoy it
“So yes, I'm glad the recommendation of the maid of honor fits on your tongue”
Ryou placed his glass on the table and started to look serious.
“Kaito..”.
“Hmm? What's up?”
“I charge your words” Ryou said
“Billing my speech?”
“You said you could tell us all about yourself. I..no, we both want to hear it”
“Ryou...” Kino saw her sister
“You remember your promise when you were at ‘world malam’, right? You said you were gonna tell us. We haven't brought it up since I said we were gonna tell it. But, since you can answer the manager's uncle, you can answer our curiosity. Right, right?”
“……”
Ryou was serious about his words. From the look in his eyes, there were no signs he could be joked.
Kaito put the glass back and answered.
“I remember my promise. I-i understand. I also feel that you guys will definitely ask about this again”
“I want to know about the person who has always been referred to as your helper. The person you called ‘that person’. You said your name was his gift. Tell me everything you remember”
“I understand”
Kaito decides to tell her everything she remembers.
