In the previous chapter:
"I can't afford to let others know,it's too risky.I must remember my responsibility as the prince."He drifted to sleep while thinking that.
:Present time:
"Am I clear about the work plan?",the chief asked.
"Excuse me chief,about the site seeing."Hitoshi said in a concerned tone.
"Yes,what about it?",the chief asked while looking at Hitoshi.
"I think that the authority knows that I have a rare skin disorder known as Polymorphic Light Eruption,for which I can't endure sunlight."Hitoshi said,surprising the other three.
"That's why he's so pale and his cabin is so dark."Mirai thought to herself.
"I am completely aware of that fact,so Matsushi san will handle the sight seeing along with Sakura san.But,as the leader you must visit some important sights."
"What?!",Kyo thought to himself.
"Are you okay with that,Matsushi san?",the chief asked Kyo.
"O-of course,chief."said Kyo.
"Thank you,chief."Hitoshi said in a relieved tone.
After another hour the meeting was over.The three of them were together as usual and Hitoshi went back to his cabin.
"So that's why Hitoshi san never comes out in sunlight."Remi said in wonder.
"Probably,it must be hard for him to stay in the dark 24/7",Mirai said in a calm tone.
"You two are showing sympathy for him and I am the one who gets nothing but hard to complete duties?!",Kyo exclaimed.
"Don't scream Kyo,it's your duty as the manager."Mirai said in a stern tone.
"And,it's not his fault that he has such a rare disorder."Remi said in a kind voice.
At the evening when everyone was leaving,Kyo went to Hitoshi's cabin to get his signature for a file.The cabin didn't had much light supply and it was already starting to get dark.
"Hitoshi san may I come in?",Kyo humbly asked before entering.
"Yes,how can I help you Matsushi san?",Hitoshi asked in his usual voice.
"You need to sign on this papers."Kyo replied back.
"Let me see."Hitoshi replied back in a bored tone.
He took a look at the file before signing the it.
"Excuse me,Matsushi san,I am extremely sorry for burdening you with the sight seeing."Hitoshi said in an apologetic tone.
"It's fine,I don't mind doing it."Kyo replied back while throwing a kind smile at his colleague.
"Thank you",Hitoshi replied.
It was the first time any of his colleague to talk to him in a kind tone beside Mirai,it shocked him.
"May I come in?",A voice asked.
Hitoshi stood up saying,"Yes,chief."
"I am sorry I forgot to mention an important thing in the meeting earlier,as you can see,I have handed over some important files to Takasaki san,I am afraid it would be a little hard for her to complete all the work by herself,so the three of you will help her.Tomorrow is Sunday,so I think you should fix a location where you guys can assemble for work."The chief said in a serious tone.
"Okay chief,I will inform the others."Hitoshi replied back.
"I will be leaving now."The chief said before leaving.
"Great,just great."Hitoshi mumbled under his breath.
He informed the others.He didn't really want to talk to them,but he had to,because the location was an important matter.
While leaving,Hitoshi asked the three of them if they had decided a location or not.
"Tomorrow is Sunday,so the libraries and cafes will be a little crowded and Hitoshi san might have some problems."Kyo said in a responsible tone.
"What about we gather up in one of our houses?",Remi said.
"That's not a bad idea,but my apartment is having some construction works,so I am living with my sister for a while."Mirai replied back in an apologetic tone,as she couldn't invite them over.
"My relatives are coming to visit me tomorrow,so I am not sure if you guys will be comfortable at my place."Said Remi.
"I also have some guests tomorrow so we can't work peacefully at my place either."Kyo said.
They all looked at Hitoshi,who was quite all the time.
"You guys can come over at my place if you want."Hitoshi said in a cold tone.
"Okay,That's it then."Mirai said to break the silence.
"Can you give us your address,Hitoshi san?",Remi asked.
"Yeah,I'll text at you guys at our official group."Hitoshi said in his usual tone.
"I have to leave everyone,I need to arrange our files for tomorrow."Said Mirai.
After that, they bade their goodbyes and left.Hitoshi started to drive for home.
After coming home,Hitoshi started to move all the things that could make him suspicious.
"I'll have to clean the blood stains from the couch and the wall,then I have to remove the scrolls from the shelf and lastly,I have to check my clothes for any blood stains on them."Hitoshi thought to himself."
He felt someone entering his house,he didn't bother looking who it was,he already knew.
"Hellooo My beloved cousine !!",the person exclaimed while barging into the living room.
"Hey Harris,what are you doing here?",Hitoshi asked in an irritated tone.
"That's not how you greet your cousine who traveled a long distance to see you."The man named Harris replied in a dramatic way.
"Are you cleaning?Why though?At this time?,Harris asked hurriedly.
"Some colleagues are coming tomorrow,for work."Hitoshi replied,still weeping the blood stains on the floor.
"That's...rare."He replied back.
"I had plans for tomorrow.I have selected seven bodies,very tasty looking seven bodies."Hitoshi said in an unusual tone.
"My poor cousin,want me to hunt down some bodies for you tonight?"He said in a sympathetic way.
"No thank you,I have been planning to hunt them since the last week."Hitoshi said in a determined tone.
"Okay,okay",Harris said with a defeated sigh.
"Wait,why don't we taste one of your colleagues instead?"Harris said without thinking.
"Are you crazy or what?If one employee disappears from my house,the company would get highly suspicious of me.The chief wasn't really convinced with fake medical report of PMLE,I had a hard time convincing him."Hitoshi was using quite a lot of emotion in his tone today.
"I'm just kidding bro.Oh yeah,I have some important things to tell about the mirror world."Harris said seriously.
Hitoshi looked at Harris with a confused expression.What could it be about?
"The Astras',they are planning to attack the castle again."Harris said in a concerned way.
Hitoshi sighed,"Of course I know that,and I have collected some important informations regarding their plans."
"Really?My brother and our other cousins are preparing to fight the,we should start preparing too."Harris while looking at Hitoshi.
"What do you think,would the taste of the blood of Astras' satisfy me?"Hitoshi said with a smirk on his face.
"Don't tell me you are planning to?You sure are playing it in a smart way."
Hitoshi didn't say anything,he just smiled tilting his head a bit.It was enough to sent down a shiver down the spine of a normal human.
