Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 245. Jewels and Transactions bag. 1
“The jewel is mine..”
“I don't understand what you mean. What gems are–”
“Xenon, can you give us the jewels in that brooch? We came to this ‘world’ to get it”
Ryou's serious expression did not indicate that he was joking and Xenon realized that the three of them were being serious right now.
“I don't understand what you're saying. But, I need an explanation about this”
Xenon tried not to reduce his alertness now but also did not feel the lie from those eyes. He tried to reassure her that the three people in front of him were not playing a show.
“You came to this ‘world’ to get it..can you explain to me what that sentence means?”
“Xenon-san, we are not from this place. More precisely, we are not from this ‘world’. We are from another place and the purpose we came here was to find Kaito-san”'s memories
“Intention?”
Kaito told Xenon everything. They had no choice this time because the jewel was before their eyes. If it were to take it by force though, the chances of winning would be extremely small.
There was no rebuttal so far, but Xenon's disbelief was vividly painted on his face.
‘Dimensional explorer? People from a foreign country? Fighting against zombies? No kidding?! It's too fantasy to be called fantasy’ he thought
However, that thought instantly changed as Kaito said something that made him even more incredulous.
“The little girl named Emily Xelhanien we met already knows our true identity. Therefore, he told us to enter his division if we managed to pass the entrance exam”
“What? Emily-sama already knows this?!” Xenon stood up from his chair
He didn't expect it to be heard by him.
“We were also surprised to hear that from him. As if..the girl has magic or something that can read who our real identity”
Xenon began to look serious.
‘It's not wrong. I know clearly the unique abilities of the royal family. Duke Xelhanien is the original descendant of the kingdom in this Country and each of their lineages has special magic abilities’
‘Emily-sama has magic [Tearlament Kaleido Heart] that can reveal the identity of a person, see the contents of the heart and the real figure of the person. That is why he was made the youngest member of the Magic Council’
‘That ability is useful for interrogating prisoners and reading the movements of opponents as powerful as their magic as the vision of the future’
‘If Emily-sama has already said it, it is likely that Rexa-sama and the other members of the Magic Council have also noticed it’
Xenon took a breath and exhaled it. He tried to calm down and sat back down. As soon as he started to gain his composure, he placed the eagle brooch bearing the reddish purple gem on the table.
“I understand. But let me get this straight. This is my brooch. I bought this because it has a pair”
“Pair? You mean something like this too?!” Ryou immediately looked shocked
“There. The other one is held by my brother. I bought this brooch as a birthday present last year. The jewel on it is exactly like this, but I am confused.Why can this gem be the memory of Kaito you tell me that?”
“I don't know. I myself feel nothing. As soon as I saw the brooch, I was very sure that the jewel was my memory” Kaito explained
“What if it turns out not?”
“It's impossible. So far, only I can know. There was a whisper-like feeling when I saw him. If it wasn't my permission then I wouldn't feel anything. However, if it is my permission then I will instantly realize it”
“How can I trust?”
Kino again explained what he had told Xenon.
“Xenon-san, if the gem is touched by Kaito-san, then the gem will go directly into her body”
“Come? Meaning this gem will disappear and you too?”
“As we said in the beginning. If in this ‘world’ there is only one gem, then we will instantly disappear from this place. However, if we are still here then that means there is more than one gem in this ‘world’”
“.....” Xenon was speechless at Kino's explanation
Ryou convinces Xenon.
It's not easy for Xenon to accept all this. It's too hard, isn't it. rather it's too sudden. The person involved in the execution this morning was a person from another world.
Recalling the events this morning, Xenon remembered one other thing.
“Shortly. You are from another ‘world’, that means..you have something that serves as a portal or something like that. Little thing in your pocket, does it also have anything to do with all this?”
The three of them looked at each other. After that, Kino and Kaito took out their pocket watches.
“Pocket clock?”
Xenon was quite surprised. It's just a pocket watch. But even though it looks similar, there are striking differences. Kaito's pocket watch is better, while Kino's pocket watch has a lot of scratches.
“For me and my brother, this pocket watch is the key to getting back to our home world, while for Kaito, it is the only clue to finding his memory gem”
[Eye Enri]
Xenon instantly activated his magic eye ability. He clearly saw there was magic energy from that little thing.
‘This is the thing I saw this morning. That means they are honest. This thing has a magic coating. Although I don't know what kind of magic can control space and time with just a small object as the medium, but I know.this magic is very strong’ thought Xenon.
Xenon became convinced that what was in front of him was a person from a different world to him.
“Haaa, this is really fantasy” he said slowly
“Hei! If you want to say fantasy, it should be me and Kino who say it. In our world, there is no magic or life with a human half head pig” Ryou replied
“So, how's Xenon-san? Can the jewel in the brooch be given to us?”
Kino did not give the slightest chance for Xenon to rethink. The jewel was in front of their eyes. If this opportunity is missed, then it will all get harder.
Xenon saw the jewel back.
‘This gem is just an ordinary stone that is meaningless. Rexa-sama will not care about it either. It's just..’
Xenon's mind began to branch. He hesitated to give it away, but on the other hand he could not deny it either.
Something suddenly crossed his mind. He remembered what he thought when he was in the practice room.
[The missing victims are still unaccounted for and all that is really very troubling. No matter how many black magic organizations we kill, if their abilities, powers, goals and leaders are not yet known, they will be useless]
[In the acceptance exam, I think something will happen. And perhaps without all of them realizing, we are opening a wide path for them to enter freely]
Xenon so have an idea that even according to himself also including crazy.
“You said that there is a possibility that Kaito's gem is more than one although not necessarily like that, right?”
“True. Is there something with that, Xenon-san?”
“If your gem is more than one in this ‘world’, I want you to help me investigate cases involving black magic and its organization”
“What?”
“If you are willing, I will help you find the Kaito memory gem that is here”
“You mean...you want to cooperate, even though it might hurt you? If the jewel in the brooch was the only memory piece of mine that was here, the three of you would instantly disappear”
“But you guys also said there was a possibility of more than one count, right? I have a 50:50 chance here, so do y'all”
Kaito begins to think and it seems that the two brothers agree with Xenon's idea.
“Good. We will help you”
Xenon gives the brooch to Kaito and eventually the unexpected happens.
