Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 158. Kaito and the Saviour. 2
“I also defend sungkawa. Turns out, your mentality has been tested since you first met him” Ryou said with a flat face
“Thank you” replied Kaito casually while drinking his tea
“Kaito-san...are you really okay? After that what happened?” Kino asked with a strong expression of curiosity
“I had to use her kitchen to cook. He showed me the location of his kitchen and then gave me a recipe note with a strange picture and writing that I did not understand”
“……”
“Only by providing instinct in distinguishing salt and sugar, I made a food called egg rolls it for our breakfast”
“It's hard to believe. It turns out that you are great to also be able to distinguish salt and sugar in a foreign place like that” Ryou praised with a serious face
“.....” Kaito is silent with Ryou's sentence
He did not know if it was a insult or a compliment, but he chose not to comment.
“After that, what happened to you guys?” Kino looks curious about the continuation of Kaito's story
Kaito is back to telling stories.
******
This is part of another memory of Kaito.
After the two of them finished eating the breakfast made by the young man, they saw the satisfied faces of the two.
“This is called egg roll~” said the woman
“You really can't distinguish salt and sugar huh?”
“I can! It's so nasty of you to say so, you impolite otherworldly teenager!”
“……”
The young man chose silence and sighed. After that, the woman started to smile.
“Sorry sorry, I was just teasing you. Don't get too tense ya”
“Hmm” very cold response
“You angry?” ask the woman with her smile
“No. I'm still waiting for you to tell me everything”
“So. Then let's take a walk to the park for a while. There is a very convenient place to chat”
The young man just kept quiet and followed the woman away. During the walk towards the park in question, the young man was quite surprised. He was impressed by how large and beautiful the house was.
“Do you take care of this place yourself?” asked the young man curiously
“Hmm, I took care of him myself. But not really by yourself”
“What does it mean?”
“I used my ability to make this place always beautiful and clean. Some sort of magical ability. Ever heard?”
“Magic? What is it?”
“It seems like I never heard of ya. It's kind of magic but I don't really call it magic. Hmm...blessing from Dewa..kurasa”.
“God yes..”
While walking, they finally arrived at a shady place with many flowers in the middle of an artificial lake. There's a bridge connected to it.
Looking at the place, the young man's heart began to improve. Moreover, he felt that the beautiful woman before him right now was not a bad person.
“Come sit here. We chat for a while”
The young man sat facing the woman.
“I haven't introduced myself yet. My family name is Shirogane. Shirogane Ru Lan”
“Ru...Lan..?”

There was the sound of table shaking. It was Ryou's voice standing with a face of shock. Not only Ryou, Kino stared at Kaito with a face that was not much different from Ryou.
“Shi–Shiro...Shirogane..” Kino looked shocked.
“Kaito.it. It's a name that comes from where I live and Kino! I thought you were from Japan!”
Kaito was quite surprised. All this time, he did not expect that the person who saved him had the same name as the country of origin of the Yuki brothers.
“What is that right? I do not understand but the country where the person lives is not named Japan”
“What is your place name from?!”
“Yamato. The country where the person who saved me lives is called Yamato”

It was revealed that the suspicions of the two brothers had been since the beginning.
'The name of the person who helped Kaito has Japanese vocabulary and more surprisingly, it is likely that the name of the country was Japanese in the past. How could Kaito not realize the similarity of our names when we first met?' ryou thought inwardly
‘The country where Kaito-san was at the time is likely Japan in the past. Or maybe an other world that has a structure like Japan’ thought Kino in heart
“Say! Do they use kanji or something like that? Do they speak Japanese or something?!” Ryou was so enthusiastic
“Ryou, relax. Kaito-san's story is not finished” Kino tried to calm the sister
“I don't understand Japanese. But since the beginning I and ‘that person’ spoke in Frankish like now”
Ryou sat back down. There are still many questions about this mystery.
“Yamato's country in Frankish, where there's something like that. But..but the name Shirogane it really is the name Japan”
“I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this. Shirogane Ru Lan-san yes.Ru Lan's name is like a Japanese name but more to a Chinese name. Mandarin, I think” Kino had a chance to think
“The name ‘Shirogane’ refers to a precious metal that according to the story is a metal that is included in the element steps on earth. While the names ‘Ru’ and ‘Lan’ have the meaning of likes and orchid flowers. That's how I heard from him” Kaito continued
“In Japanese, Shirogane means platinum. In English it is called platinum, it is a precious metal that steps in the Earth's crust. Looks like the person who helped Kaito-san found out about it”
“But the meaning of the name Ru Lan itself is like a separate word in Mandarin. Orchid flowers in Mandarin read ‘Lan’. I think the name is a merger of Japanese and Mandarin” Ryou concluded
“I don't know what you mean but it looks like you guys really know that well. Now, I might be able to believe that your relationship with me is no coincidence. Although I still doubt how it could happen”
The three of them were silent for a moment. But excessive speculation will only make the question above the question. Kino tried to bring the direction of this conversation back to the main topic.
“Kaito-san, we can think about that later. I still want to hear what you're doing with your savior. Isn't that right, Ryou?”
“O–oo, true! Tell us, Kaito! There may be another clue to this! Who knows we could have found the reason why your memory was lost and ended up being a jewel that spread to all the strange dimensions”
Kaito decided to continue his story a little bit again.

“Ru...Lan..?”
“True. Shirogane is from the name of the most precious metal steps on this earth, while Ru and Lan mean like and orchid flowers. Hows it? Pretty name, right?” the woman smiled happily
The smile was so pretty that it slightly embarrassed the young man, though not for long. The young man returned to the topic of his talk.
“You said you helped me and I came from a place called the other world. How did that happen?”
“You...do you remember what your name is?”
“Eh?”
“Do you remember what your name is and where are you from?”
The woman named Ru Lan asked with her eyes straight towards the two eyesballs of the young man in front of her.
“My name..”.
- Deg
"Ukh!! Akh!! Whyyy?! My head..akh...!!"
Just trying to say it, the young man's head seemed to break.
The same feeling he felt when he first woke up. He felt tight, his breathing seemed to stop at the base of the throat. As if suffocating, he could not let out any words due to a voice like being restrained.
A cold sweat appeared and instantly made his entire dry clothes wet. The bandages on his head and hands began to be moistened by his sweat.
‘What happened! I...I can't breathe?! I can't get my voice out! Who me? Why don't I remember anything?!’ the young man continued to wonder in his heart
At such a time, Ru Lan read out a word that the young man did not understand. In just an instant, the calm water suddenly moved as if something was moving it, the scattered flower petals made a beautiful atmosphere. All around him, began to create a cool atmosphere from the gentle gusts of wind.
There was something surrounding her and the woman in front of her. It was like a foreign inscription with a transparent light surrounding the two.
Slowly, the tightness and pain slowly began to disappear. Replaced with a feeling of calm and instantly his body felt better.
The sweat that soaked his body slowly disappeared, his wet clothes began to dry up and his pale face from asphyxiation now gradually improved.
“It's better?” ask Ru Lan
“What was that?”
“That's the name ‘Zhu Fangore’, a kind of chanting mantras and prayers. I used it to create a magical power to make you better. Now, do you still feel uncomfortable?”
“No..no more. Thank you”
Seeing the young man calm down, Ru Lan started to look serious.
“Alright, now will ask you to do two things before I speak”
“What is it?”
“First I ask you not to ask as long as I talk and secondly I want you to trust me as long as I tell you”
“What does it mean?”
“I'll tell you everything honestly, but if you doubt my story, it's the same as you deny reality. I feel that there is a strong feeling that envelops you in order to make you forget the reality and I don't want you to drown in it”
“Strong feeling? Forgetting reality? What is it?” the young man was getting confused
“Because of that, I want you to trust everything I say. Just as long as I'm telling a story. After I finish telling you, you are free to deny it”
The young man did not quite understand, yet he finally decided to do Ru Lan's wish.
“Good. First I want to tell you the beginning of why you can be here”
******
At this moment, Kino and Ryou started to look tense. Kaito began to tell important parts of all the core of his story.
“He told me. While he was praying, he heard a cry. Although she did not understand the sound of crying, she said it was the sound of crying of someone who had just been left dead by someone else”
“Someone who was left dead.maybe it was..” Ryou tried to guess.
“I don't know if it's me or not because ‘that person’ doesn't know about it either. He told me that while he was praying, the sound of crying grew stronger and suddenly a voice and lightning appeared in his yard”
“.....” both brothers started listening
“When he arrived, he saw me lying weakly covered in blood, mud and severe wounds. And more to her surprise, she saw something coming out of my body”
“Out of body?”
“She said it was a ball or a shining jewel. From the story, he said the shape was perfectly round and gave off a bright purple light. The size is approximately this size” Kaito make a circle with his hands and then said, “approximately 5-6 cm”
“The ball that came out was..Kaito-san”'s memory.
“Fast. ‘The man’ said that he had seen the ball shine and showed a memory record. Almost all of his memories were visible to him. But, when he saw all the recordings of that memory.Suddenly the jewel ball cracked and broke”.
“......!!!” the two brothers were surprised
“Could it be..is Kaito-san's memory? Memory of it...spread and go to ‘world’ and other dimensions?”
“True. That's when my whole memory was lost”
