Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 61. Hints and the Beginning of New Problems. 1
When Ryou and Kaito finally come to terms with the situation and stop fighting in the middle of their journey to the bar, Theo's words are able to make a similar thought in the brains of both of them.
‘Basic brat brat!!’
Theo who saw them didn't seem to mean anything bad and started getting serious.
“Ryou-nii, Kaito-nii, we don't have much time! If you continue here, just wait until noon arrives!”
“.....” Ryou and Kaito see each other
The two teenagers were actually eager to do something to the boy, especially Ryou. Her pent-up desire now was to pull both of the child's ears and pinch her cheeks until they were red.
He even said it directly in a soft tone without being heard by Theo.
“I'd love to teach him a lesson! How dare he say such crazy things, just look at it later!! I won't let him complain to Kino!”
“You better hold yourself, Ryou. We are also wrong because we have argued like last”
A trigger came out of the sentence Kaito said. Ryou who heard it started shouting while making a red face in annoyance.
Now they enter the next round.
“That's you starting it! You should have been quiet so it won't be like this, you idiot!”
“Don't talk like that! You can say that easily, but I'm trying to help you here! Otherworldly teen basics don't know thank you!!”
“Hah?! How dare you, Kaito!!”
“That's the reality! If it happens to you and Kino asks me, what should I tell him? I'm just trying to protect you from having the title ‘killer’ in front of your name”
“Heh, very funny. I told you that we are not discussing the value of humanity! I want to kill a human-shaped gorilla named Justin for our safety and that annoying boy standing there!!”
“That's no excuse, another world's unstable teen base!!!”
“And it's none of your business, you crazy criminal with no memory!!!”
Marvelous. After making peace for approximately 35 seconds, now they have shouted and continued the hot debate is not important anymore. Theo who was the spectator became annoyed now.
“You two shut up!! This is not the time to fight because such an unimportant thing! Kino-nii's pocket watch is more important than the silly thoughts of the two of you!! Now, you better stop fighting like a married couple like that or I'll complain to Kino-nii that you two are chatty like girls!!”
“......!!!” the two teenagers were silent and looked straight at Theo
This is no coincidence. It seems that Theo has the same talent as Ryou: a scathing mouth hurts even though Ryou's level is a god who can make inhumane comments to all people except his brother.
At the very least, Kaito believed in it and the deadly theory was proved when he saw Ryou start looking at Theo with a cold look after the boy had said all his sentences earlier.
Ryou directly approached Theo with a face like a cat demon.
“Bokah, you've only known Kino for a few hours but already very arrogant apparently. Listen to me well! Dare to talk to my sister, I'll pull your ears to look like a dwarf from a fairyland! Watch out for you!”
“Hiiiii!!! Stay away from me, satan!” Theo was now seen taking a few steps back with a scared face
“Bolder boy! Who do you call a demon!!” Ryou shouted with his sinister face
“.....” Kaito just sculpted and fell silent
Here we can know that Ryou has a very ‘adult once’ nature because he wants to serve small children very seriously. What a very’tested nature’ and not worth to be exemplified.
At least that was what Kaito thought of seeing her from a distance while stroking his own chest.
Kaito even prayed a prayer.
‘Kino, I really wish you were here and stop this brutal kid now!’
**
“Haa..chuuh..”.
A sweet sneezing sound in the middle of a narrow alley that morning.
Kino's steps stopped due to sneezing. While trying to catch his breath back, he started making a puzzled expression.
“Am I too tired to run? Why can I sneeze suddenly?” Kino asked himself
For the first time since coming to that strange ‘world’, Kino sneezed even once. And the best part of it all is that the sneezing sound is so sweet as the sneezing sound of children.
“People say that if you sneeze suddenly, it means that someone is talking about you. I hope it's not dad or mom who's talking about me now”
After stopping for a few seconds, Kino ran back.

Returning to where Ryou and Kaito are now, Theo who has been away from them starts to look serious.
“Not time to play around! Just skip the turn in front and we'll be able to get to the bar. I told you it's not time to mess around!. If the gorilla has an unexpected plan, we can also get into trouble!!”
Ryou still looked annoyed with the child in front of him and muttered inwardly.
‘Basically this is all your fault! If you hadn't stolen Kino's pocket watch, none of this would have happened!. I'll really pull those two ears out later!!’
Kaito had finished returning all his mentality and immediately ran forward while patting Ryou on the shoulder without looking at him. He immediately carried Theo with his hands and ran quickly.
“Huwaaa!!” Theo was surprised to be suddenly carried by Kaito
“After turning right you'd better show me the way right, Theo. Faster if I take you like this!”
“……”
Ryou who knew the meaning of Kaito just saw and started running quickly after him.
Theo was surprised because the two brothers who were with him could run that fast. Even with all his speed earlier, it was still nothing.
Something happened while Theo was that close to Kaito. Kaito felt something very familiar and familiar. Even now the question he had thought of before was repeated.
Kaito glanced at Theo with a sharp look in his eyes.
‘What feeling is this? If you think about it again, when I see this child too I feel something like this’
Kaito saw something on Theo's neck and asked.
“What's that on your neck?”
“This? This is my precious treasure. I've had it since childhood”
“So. I'm just asking. Thank you for answering me” Kaito only glanced once then fell silent
“.....” Theo silent while looking at Kaito's face
The turn was already passed and they ran straight ahead. With the running speed of the two teenagers, the time they spent tracing the entire road was only a few minutes. It takes time but not as long as Theo thinks.
“Stop!” Theo asks Kaito to stop
Both stopped running. Kaito lowers Theo and sees him pointing at a building.
“That's bar. That's where Justin is”
The three of them stopped at a place far enough away. The bar in question differed four buildings from where they stand now. Kaito looked around the place and he couldn't possibly have seen it wrong. He had passed this road before when he first entered that foreign place.
Now, Kaito realized a strange thing and thought in his heart.
‘If I thought back, wouldn't that rung go down? But almost all of these roads are straight and there are no climbs at all. I saw it myself when I went in and looked for a way out of this place yesterday. If it were to compare with the road structure in the city and the city center, I would not feel that the street was tilted downwards. From the structure of this place, there is indeed something not right here’
Ryou watched all the buildings including the buildings beside him. Obviously all of these buildings seemed empty and were not used at all. Broken doors and windows and no furniture in them make the atmosphere of the old building there look creepy.
Highlight Ryou's eyes turning sharp.
‘I may be hallucinating but all this is similar to the building in ‘world night’. Although it looks different but not so striking’ Ryou murmured inwardly
Ryou walked up to Kaito and whispered.
“You were here yesterday, right? Feel familiar with the building here no?”
“I've thought that this is similar to ‘world malam’. You think so too, Ryou?”
“To be exact, although not the same 100% but there are some similar parts”
“So. Means I didn't mistakenly name this place as the nightlife world’ junior” whispered Kaito to Ryou
“What? Uncool nickname what is it?”
“Ehem. Forget it” Kaito looked forward with a flat face
Kaito looked at the surrounding area. There are at least four small alleyways leading to the back of other buildings on the right and left sides or that can be penetrated into other roads. Next to the bar itself is a small alley.
“Theo, what is an alley?” Kaito pointed to the alley
“That's an alley but heading to the garbage disposal section behind the bar. The bodies were dumped there yesterday by the gorilla's men. I don't know if the body is still there or not”
“……”
Kaito is silent for a moment and suddenly he holds Theo again and pulls Ryou's hand towards the alley on the right side of the building where they stopped.
From the direction of the bar, there were sounds of footsteps coming out.
“See you later, Arkan. Thanks for the plastic bag. Let's go now, Will”
The voice was like a female voice with someone else behind it. Kaito shut Theo's mouth tightly and signaled Ryou to shut up. It doesn't look like what their faces look like and how they look, but Kaito believes the sound of his steps sounds like the footsteps of two people.
Suddenly Kaito's face turned frantic as he realized that one of them stopped and spoke.
“I feel something? Do you feel like there's anyone else here, Will?”
“No, Madame”
“Hmm. I'm sure your ears must be wrong but that's it. There's more to it than taking care of those people who are hiding it. Come on, we have to bring it before the opening tonight”
“Good, Madame”
“Just if they get a little damage, I'll cut your salary”
“Good, Madame. If you can later give me a bonus ya”
“Basic. I'll think of”
Their voices grew increasingly distant and suddenly disappeared. Kaito is surprised by what he hears, as well as Ryou.
‘The woman's voice...she can realize there is hiding!!’
After taking Theo down, Kaito approaches Ryou and whispers back.
“You heard that, didn't you, Ryou?”
“I heard it very clearly. Who do you think he is? I feel unpleasant from both of them!”
“I don't know. We better...Tu...Theo!!” Kaito is surprised to see Theo running out of the alley towards the bar
Seeing the boy running to get out, Ryou becomes annoyed.
“That shithead!!”
