Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Blue Clan

Ril was left in distraught with all the situations happened, then Chijin who also saw it, dragged Ril back into the mansion "You want to bring him back right?" Chijin was standing in front of him while Ril was in the floor, he looked up to him and answered "Yes" while his face was in confusion, Chijin offered a hand to him and said "Then I'll help you" Ril hesitated because he's wondering why, all of the sudden he's offering help, but nonetheless, he took the hand that Chijin offered to him and said "All right"

They started planning how to get Jiro back and where he might possibly be, Jiro might be on Velos City, That city is swarming with corrupted animals and humans since it was speculated that the Blue Clan Stays there.

At dawn, everything was all ready for them and the only thing they have to do is to find a boat that they can use to travel to Velos City. Luckily, Zeal's mansion had a boat and the sea is not far enough from the mansion, so they secretly took the boat and carefully rode the boat heading towards east where Velos City is. While riding the boat, Chijin and Ril had little talks, "May I ask? Why did you offer to help me?"

"Well, nothing much in particular, I just want to know what the blue clan is planning" but he's actually doing this to save Jiro "Well, he has been running away from his family since he was a child, but he did not tell me what was his reason" Ril said

'I guess the blue clan got greedy again' Chijin thought to himself, after sometime, he started staring at Ril in confusion, he keeps staring at him for a while, like something about him made him weird and he asked

"Have we ever met before?"

"Well yes, on the day you caught us"

"No... Before that, it just felt like we already met in the past, maybe I'm just having some kind of Deja Vu"...

'He just looked so much like the guy I know in the past, even their personalities are almost the same... except the hair... maybe I'm just overthinking...' he thought to himself

"Well maybe, we really met... because actually, when I was seven years old, I lost my memories and until now, I still don't remember anything..." Ril replied "Seven years...ago?" Chijin asked "Yeah... actually Jiro told me that he saw me beside the sea on Kahio Island, that's how we got to be friends..."

After hearing those, Chijin was deep in his thoughts 'Kahio...is the nearest island on the gateway through the Crimson Planes...is he really-' his thoughts were cut off by Ril's words "We're here"

They have finally arrived at Velos City

...

While on Jiro's side,

After Irene took Jiro away, Jiro was confined in the basement like they always do to him then Irene said "Now look at what you did, you befriend many humans knowing you are a demon, they might betray you the moment they'll know you are a demon, especially that you are from the Blue Clan"

"No..." He whispered "They aren't like like that..." He said in a worried face "You think you can trust those humans? You think that they care? You think they'll be there for you? Until they betray you, they stab you in the back with a double edged knife....being a good friend is a skill that they lack,

Don't ever trust anyone, You don't need human friends" She said this in a calm but angry tone "Never forget who you are, Jiro Li" Irene left while saying these words leaving Jiro in hesitation while hearing those words...
