Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 160. A Quiet Day in the Morning
Kaito looked at his pocket watch. Time shows at 09:00. It's nine o'clock tonight now and it looks like they've already told enough.
“What medicine is working, Kaito-san?” ask Kino
“Seems like not yet. But, maybe if forced to sleep will work. Anyway, I would love to be able to sleep like Ryou back then”
“Oi! Don't make it a benchmark yes!” Ryou looks pouted
“But, with sleep I may not forget that I am human. At the very least, sleeping like when in ‘world malam’ that time alone does not matter. Although only briefly”
From the beginning, it was Kaito's goal to buy sleeping pills. But there was one more item on their list.
Ryou stood up and took out the contents of the shopping bags stored in the cupboards and drawers. Like looking for something, he immediately took it when he found it.
“You said you wanted to wash your clothes? Want to do when?”
“Ryou, it's night. There's no way Kaito-san washes clothes now” Kino is trying to stop her sister
“I just reminded him not to forget”
Kaito sees laundry soap on Ryou's hand from afar.
“I'll do it tomorrow before we go to the kids' place”
“Good. Better do your intention so as not to waste money with free”
What a life of three very unique teenagers in ‘otherworld’. Because it seems like the two brothers also have nothing to ask, they immediately take the sleeping pills they bought.
Ryou helps Kino change his bandages over their bed, while Kaito tapers the teacup.
Putting his pocket watch beside his bed and taking off his shoes, Kaito tried to lay himself on a small bed.
“After going to bed, Kaito-san?” tanya Kino who just finished changing her bandage by her sister
“I don't know if his sleeping pills will affect you or not. But, I want to try it first”
“How much did you drink, Kaito?” asked Ryou who was sitting next to the older brother
“Three grains”
“....” both brothers fell silent
“Maybe will react” soon Kaito continued
“You want to die huh?”
“Kaito-san..it's too much!”
Kaito said nothing and started closing his eyes.
‘I don't want to see any dreams. If I can sleep without dreaming, maybe it's much better’ Kaito murmured in heart
After being silent for a while, Kino and Ryou looked at each other and whispered.
“What do you think of Kaito's story, Kino?”
“I still can't conclude anything. But at least, we already know that maybe Kaito-san is from Japan”
“But in the original Japan there is no magic! Even if there were still genuine descendants of shinobi or onmyouji, they would not really have such abilities!”
“Hmm...how to explain this yes..” Kino so confused yourself.
“Haa~ya we have stopped all this. At least, Kaito's open. I'm quite satisfied even though I still have hundreds of questions for him”
“Ryou..don't press Kaito-san like that again, understand?”
“I know. Now you take the medicine. I also seem to want to try sleeping”
“Ryou want to take his sleeping pills too?”
“Why not? If in ‘world night’ may not matter we do not sleep because we have to play a chase with annoying creatures there. But it's as normal here as it was when we were at home. If there were no manga or games, I would die of boredom” Ryou grumbled
The older brother could only sigh at the grunts of the younger brother and respond with a smile. Ryou stands up to take the sleeping pills and gives them to his sister.
After they finished taking the medicine, Ryou turned off the lights of the room. The two began to take off their shoes and lay themselves on the bed.
“So remember when renting this place the first time” Kino remembers the past
“When we decided to go shopping out and leave you alone sleeping here”
“Bar”
“Umm, sorry because at that time I kept a lot of things secret to you until like this” Ryou again apologized to the brother with a sad face
“Ryou, it's not your fault. I'm it's okay. Don't ever say anything about it again. Everything's gonna be fine. I'm still alive and all thanks to Ryou and Kaito-san”
Ryou smiled and looked towards Kaito.
“Kaito is asleep?”
Hearing that, Kino looked at him as well.
“Kaito-san?”
No sounds and reactions.
“It looks like it's sleeping. The medicine worked pretty well. Thank goodness” Kino smiled
Ryou started yawning and felt drowsy.
“Huaaaamph~it looks like I've also started getting sleepy. The dose of this medication may be high. The drug from ‘world’ is indeed strange”
“How about we try to close our eyes like Kaito-san? Maybe we'll fall asleep too”
“You're right, Kino. Good night”
“Goodnight, Ryou”
That night, the three closed their eyes and tried to sleep. None of them would have thought that they would miss the time when they slept at night.
On a sunny morning, no one expected that the three of them were actually sleeping. It seemed like the sleeping pills were actually giving quite a good effect to them.
“Mmm...” Kino opened his eyes first
While trying to get up, he looked at the pocket watch that was nearby.
“07.30? Already this?”
Kino was quite confused by this. It was because he never woke up too late like this. While putting his pocket watch in his pants pocket, Kino walked up to the table and saw the sleeping pills he had taken last night.
“This is terrible. I think I should be careful not to drink it. I was worried that I would wake up today like today” he said with a smile
At first, he wanted to wake up his sister and friend. However, seeing them sleep soundly as if not sleeping for a week made him undo his intentions.
“It looks like I have to wait for them to wake up” he muttered slowly
After washing his face, Kino decided to sit on the chair while continuing to see the clockwork on his pocket clock turning. In other words, he has no job.
It lasted for a few minutes until the sound of knocking on the door finally came.
“Hmm?”
When he opened the door, he saw the female servant who came to this room yesterday afternoon.
“Good morning, mr”
“Good morning. Can anyone be helped?”
“There are guests for Mr. Kaito. Those guests who yesterday came” said the waiter with a smile
“Tuest of yesterday? What are children with their parents?”
“Yes, but a little more”
“So. Then I'll go down”
Closing the door, Kino came down with the maid. Arriving at the lobby, a warm embrace was received by him.
“Kino-niichan~”
“Michaela-chan?!” Kino was surprised
It was not only Michaela who was hugging him but all the little children who had not met him yesterday. It looks like Joel came along with three other children as well.
“Sorry to interrupt early in the morning, Kino” said Joel approached
“It's okay. I'm sorry. Actually I just woke up” said Kino a little embarrassed
“Sleep? Didn't you say you didn't have any drowsiness?” Joel was astonished
“Night, Kaito-san was eager to feel the taste of sleeping at night and we finally decided to buy sleeping pills. After drinking it last night, I woke up late. Ryou and Kaito-san are still sleeping on top of”
“Ahahaha, so it seems. You guys to the point of buying all” sleeping pills Joel laughed at Kino's explanation
Some children were curious about what Kino said so they asked
“Kino-niichan just woke up?”
“What will Kaito-niichan wake up too?”
“Solid brother's still sleeping, right? Kino-niichan play with us only ya”
Hearing the children ask innocently, some visitors laughed looking at him. The female servant in the lobby also smiled. Embarrassed, Kino was forced to take them all out. Although it seems, the children were attracted to people who he said were still sleeping.
“We chat outside only yes. How?” tanya Kino proposes
“Eh~we want to go inside and see the fierce sister sleep” exciting another little boy
“True. Kaito-niichan for us to eat together this morning”
Now, Kino had no choice but to comply. Joel just laughed hearing his kids whine like that. It was inconceivable their room would be as crowded as what it was with the arrival of ten people in the morning.
After Kino asked the receptionist for permission to bring all the guests, they went upstairs.
“Listen, when inside I beg you please don't talk too loud ya” said Kino while making body gesture to be calm
“We understand, Kino-niisan. We'll calm down. Understand right, kids?”
“Understand, Stelani-neechan~” children reply simultaneously
Hearing that, Kino smiled and opened the door. When the door opened, it appeared that the two people were still sound asleep. The scene that surprised everyone included Joel. He even looked towards the table as he entered.
“This is the medicine you said it was?”
“True. We drank it after taking herbal tea. He said it's good to make the body relax and can sleep soundly”
“You are quite...impressive” said Joel with his smile.
Kino saw the children approaching the bed. Here, Kino's face started to look a little anxious.
It seemed, what Kino had warned was not entirely run by those children. They were so curious about the two sleeping people that they saw him up close.
Theo, Stelani and Fabil didn't seem to want to miss the moment either so they followed the other kids.
“Huwaaa~kakak fierce still sleeping. Look at his face, like dead” ledek Theo
“Sstt! Theo, don't talk like that! Ryou-niisan will wake up and hit you!” stelani told Theo
“Hah! He alone still no signs of waking”
Fabil and Michaela did not want to lose. They chose to approach Kaito who was sleeping.
“Kaito-niichan is still sleeping too. He really doesn't move, Fabil-niichan”
“That's. Therefore, we do not disturb him ya” said Fabil to Michaela
Seeing the children surrounding the two sleeping people, Kino could only pray inwardly.
‘I beg you please don't wake them both. Please don't approach their faces like that’
Just being said like that, suddenly Kaito's eyes opened so that made Michaela startled and shouted.
“Uwaaa!!”
“Aaaaa!!”
“Gyaaa!!! What's up?!”
Everyone's shouting. Kino and Joel who were looking directly stared at each other with panicked faces.
“Joel-san.
“Ma–forgive my children, Kino”
Kaito was shocked and immediately woke up from his bed. It's not just Kaito. Before any questions came out of his mouth, Ryou had already shouted first.
“Why can there be apparitions of little demons here!! Who told them to come in interrupted my morning!”
“Gyaaa! Big brother wake up! Stay away or later will be eaten. Ahahaha” the laughter of the children began to sound
They immediately walked away from Ryou and hugged Kino and Joel who were standing up.
“Kino...did you bring them here?” kaito asked with a face that was still very shocked
“I'm sorry. I've said not to be noisy earlier and invite them to go out but..”.
The children immediately ran around again swarming Ryou and Kaito.
“Nee, let's get up! We would like to invite Ryou-niichan and Kaito-niichan to eat together again!”
“True. Joel-papa will deal! Come on get up, let's get up”
The original plan, the three teenagers who want to go to the bar. But it seemed like they had to accept the reality after being ambushed by those children.
“Basic petty criminals!” ryou muttered
