Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 384. Next Steps
“Xenon-san, doesn't that mean you still care about your brother?”
“......!!” Xenon was silent
“I'm right, right? Xenon-san still cares about him, right?”
Xenon did not answer or say what he had just thought to the three. Of course, in his little heart, he cared so much for his brother. But he himself also did not want to make Rexa a fuss because of his status in the eyes of the nobles.
Xenon just kept quiet so Kino smiled as she got her answer.
“It turns out I was right. Xenon-san is still so considerate of Rexa-san. That's a good thing, don't worry”
“......”
Ryou said to her, “Xenon, I know you won't be that cold”
“What does it mean?”
“Although your attitude is annoying and cold in the presence of the person you call noble, but your soul that upholds pure values in the Magic Council will not make you change”
Xenon confused by Ryou's intent, “Use clear language”
“That's why you're a good person. That's it”
“Oh. Thank ye. I know I'm good” replied Xenon with his flat face
Thanks to Ryou not being able to praise someone well, things are back.
“Ignore my past. It's me now and the three of you know it. Now, back to the information you got. Is there anything else besides that?” ask Xenon
“Nothing. At least it's all”
“So. This time I wanted to say something. I'm sorry to you guys”
“Why?”
“I told you a little about my relationship with you guys to the twins”
A little surprised by Xenon's confession, but all three have understood it.
“Speedly or later will definitely be cursory as well, Xenon-san. No problem during our actual destination is still unknown”
“I just said that my relationship with you guys is a cooperation partner in solving cases and since the Rebellenarmee infiltrated then all will definitely be informed by the captains of” explained Xenon
“Well, if they knew we were explorers from another world it would not matter either. In the end we were like that, right?” ryou's response to Xenon's reasoning
Kaito saw his pocket watch, “Jam 02.20 ya”
“Why?” ask Xenon
“No, I just thought that with time not moving in the slightest here I could say a lot to you guys”
“Kaito-san.
“I haven't told you all the memories I've had before and I want Xenon to hear them as well”
They were a little surprised. It is true that Kaito still has not said the details of his memory when he found it.
Now, Kaito is telling me about his childhood memories. He told me that his parents had been remembered. Their faces, names, sounds and what kind of warmth they were, he could already remember all that.
“Although only partially, but the memory this time is completely different and feels so long”
Xenon was silent for a moment and remembered something, “Kaito, when you found a jewel in my place, I remember you calling Adler Klaue's name. Does the memory this time also have something to do with the figure?”
“Ada”
Ryou looks enthusiastic, “Really?!”
“Kaito-san already remembers who Adler Klaue is?”
Kaito's expression looked a little sad and doubtful.
“To be honest I still don't fully know the extent of my relationship with Adler Klaue. But she is a person close to both of my parents”
“Even when I was a kid, he stayed at my house and helped my parents trade”
“Your parents..a merchant apparently” Ryou said in response.
“Eh?!” the three people were surprised
“In my memory, my village was attacked by monsters and suffered damage” Kaito explained
“Attack?!”
“Your design was attacked by monsters, Kaito?”
“What happened, Kaito-san?! Was Adler-san then okay?”
Kaito told me about the attack that took place in his village. However, after that ambiguous part that is still a mystery is Adler's condition after defeating the monsters and how he can defeat him.
“So. So until there your memory ends” said Xenon
“I wish Adler Klaue was alive today. Anyway it's just my childhood memory”
Xenon again asked, “How many memories were thrown to another ‘world’?”
“I don't know” Kaito resumed his sentence, “Before meeting Kino and Ryou I only found one in each ‘world’. Then after meeting them, I once found two pieces in the same ‘world’. Or maybe almost similar”
“In ‘world’ full of this magic I've found two pieces. But because of my pocket watch and my memory pieces didn't take us anywhere else so..”.
“There are still other gems here” Xenon guess. But it was not a guess, it was a thing that he had known since first hearing Kaito's explanation that night.
Kaito clapped his own hands twice to end the story.
“Alright, done with mine. Xenon, now about the secret room we found. If it's Artifact, can't we do something with it?”
Xenon was confused to hear that question, “I mean?”
“That thing is a dangerous object that Virgo and others are after. If until the secret room is found..could happen something serious”.
“But didn't you yourself say that place couldn't possibly be found so easily?” Xenon is confused now
“We did say but just in case, we should know what the object is”
Kino comes along, “Kaito-san is right, Xenon-san. The secret room was not known to anyone until now, at least that's what we thought. But I doubt that no one knows”
“The School Board and the Magic Council are a group of people who have extensive knowledge of magic. Impossible can not be detected by magic”
“This place is a world with magic, since we have already found it.it is not impossible for others to get in there by accident”.
That makes sense, considering the three of them could have gotten in there by accident. Nothing is impossible in this world and the best thing is that it is all set.
It seems that the matter of the magic room made Xenon forced to rethink to report all of it to the other Magic Council.
“I pull my words. I'm gonna keep all this a secret for myself. I want to go there when you're here tomorrow. After I see it for myself, I will rethink to report it or not”
“I will also find out the names of other Artifact besides the two that I already know to help our investigation”
“Motif Rebellenarmee fixed that thing and their target's life. We must be careful since they can move freely and have high authority for being a member of the” division
“How? That's not a bad idea, is it?”
Kaito and the two brothers finally nodded in agreement. At least one plan had been made to go with Xenon to the secret room.

At the current Midford residence, Misha's return was greeted by sobs that her mother was disappointed by what Rexa and the academy were doing.
“Cannot be forgiven! Rexa has hurt Midford's self-esteem!”
Then, Countess Midford looked towards the husband.
“My husband, I don't want to know! Clean up all this and don't let our names be bad because the child doesn't know himself!”
“He hurt our daughter and humiliated her in public! I won't forgive him!”
“Even if this engagement is still continued and Vexia-sama begs to prostrate to continue it, I will not forgive her until Rexa begs me and also my daughter!”
Perhaps Misha's nature declined from that of a selfish and overly high-minded mother, considering her paramount and self-conscious.
Earl Midford was speechless with a serious expression. Like having a bad thing planned, sharp eyes are a bad signal for tomorrow.
