Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 341. Bag Free Day. 6
At the academy, exactly in Rexa's room that night…
Rexa who was sitting on her bed was thinking about something she had been thinking for a long time.
‘I have to end all this. At least, I can still protect Xenon's self-esteem as part of the’ family
‘Even if I tell dad about this, he might just blame fate, as I've already’
‘If there had been no incident back then, maybe Xenon would not have chosen to ignore his family during this’
‘I hate myself like this’
Rexa took her brooch and remembered the events of today. He vividly recalled the cynical gaze of a Xenon at her.
“Xenon..”.
The brooch is purplish in color due to the presence of gems on it is very beautiful. Gems that are the same size and color as Xenon's previous ones. However, to the extent that the gem on the brooch belonged to Rexa with Kaito's memory, no one knew.
That night, Rexa's thoughts are not on her engagement cancellation plans, but rather her concerns for Xenon. Coupled with information from Lucas about the purpose of the intruder who wanted to harm him, Rexa's worries increased.
“I hope all relationships in the past can return to how they used to be. I want to be a good brother to you, Xenon. Please remove that wall of your heart and return to the Xenon I know”.

Elsewhere, in Jene's room…
Jene still remembered what Kino said in the cafeteria.
[If you want to help him, I think waiting for him to open up is the best option]
[Imagine if we tell Xenon-san and it turns out that she knows. Not only will we lose faith in him, but you and the relationships you have built over the years will be instantly lost]
Jene thought about the sentence carefully.
‘I understand to what extent Xenon's confidence level in both of us. My sister and I might be part of the family if their engagement could get to the wedding. But, Xenon didn't give me another option’
‘Hati that changed since the incident really made a deep wound. What's more, all of it is the result of carelessness from irresponsible people’
‘If I had known back then that Xenon was hurt like this, I might have hit the girl's mouth!’
It seems that Jene knows what happened to Xenon in the past and who made his heart become closed.
For now, save all that past history for later.

Mark who had been in his room took off all his clothes and looked at the mirror while changing his clothes with a casual t-shirt.
“This red eye really fits my reddish hair very well. Looks like Artifact has good taste” murmured slowly
That may sound like an impromptu murmur, but there's actually a reason behind it all.
In his heart, Mark thought.
‘I have been completely swallowed by Artifact's magic. Maybe no one knows about this yet, but I feel I'm no longer a human’
‘I realize that I have almost lost my drowsiness and hunger since traveling to find the location of the whereabouts of the execution of the victims lost’
‘During this, I ignored it because maybe this is just a temporary side effect. I never thought it would be sustainable since I had these two things in my body 8 years ago’
‘Not just that. I also feel that I no longer have the same immune system as a normal human’
Mark took out his sword and began to pierce his right hand.
-CRAAT
Blood started to soak the floor and of course his own hands. Mark was not in pain. There is something even stranger than not feeling the pain.
The wound closed on its own.
“I'm really turning into a demon now. If anyone finds out about this secret, I think I'll be done. Emily will probably find out sooner or later, since she has special abilities”
“Now, I understand why a rebel force called Rebellenarmee wants Artifact back”
“This may not have been revealed in the past. I'm sure Earl might know about this”
They're back in one piece.
“This crazy” murmured Mark
I don't know since when he realized this, but it seems like the secret about this is only Mark who knows it.
That night, just in Mark's room, he used his sword to cut himself to the point where the blood was drenched all the way to the clothes he had just worn as a nightgown.
Almost two hours he hurt himself and as expected, there was no pain, no body part left a scar.
“This artifact has taken all the essentials for me as a normal human being. And now, I can call myself a demon now”
Mark cleaned up all the blood in his own room.
[Counter Cleaner]
All the stains disappeared without a trace and scent. Mark's room is back to how it was.
Mark put back his sword and thought for a moment.
‘If a weapon can no longer hurt this body, will magic or poison have any effect?’
‘I should try to buy rat poison and drink it after returning from the Midford residence tomorrow’
Only Mark can have a plan to buy rat poison for himself. What a person who loves his body and health. Mark is an example of people who care about their health.
But unfortunately it is not worth copying.

At Xenon's place, the host tidied up the dishes aided by Kino.
“I did the rest, Kino. You better prepare clothes for tomorrow”
“I'll do it, Xenon-san. After all, that magic bag was really very good. I can hardly even believe a human can get into it”
Xenon explained a few things about the item he bought just now.
“Not many such items. It is usually sold as a special item. Since Agatha Friday was a person who was quite well known by the members of the previous division, so she was allowed to sell such bags”
“In addition, the thing also already has permission. Because the price is expensive and not arbitrary, he only sells it to regular consumers. As he explained while in store”
Kino nodded and slightly joked, “I won't bring a human in it. Calm down”
“I know. But I'm sure Ryou will probably bring some people he hates later”
“Xenon-san..”
Kino thought it was just a joke so she only responded with a smile, but who knew that Xenon was not joking.
In the living room, Ryou is actually planning something with Kaito.
“Kaito, we might be able to kidnap and get those half elves inside here. I think it would be good if this bag we always carry from now on as long as we are in the academy it”
“Ryou, do you want to be a villain?” kaito asked with strange eyes
“Not be a villain. I think we should take an anticipation step. Let's just say we're doing a simulation for–”
“Kidnapping people”'s child
“Fast! Kidnapping anak–...in a moment, why so make me look like a villain?” Ryou looked at Kaito with a cold gaze
“Indeed if not a criminal, what do you call it?”
“....” Ryou is silent
Now Ryou thinks that he has started turning into a criminal because of the versatile bag. ‘Why am I the one who looks like a real villain?’
What a relaxing night.
The next morning, each cast's new life in the magic-filled ‘world’ begins.
