Hino felt frustrated by the situation and when Katelyn's call abruptly ended, Marie gave him a look of apology.
She said to him, "I wish I could redeem myself for now. I did not know how hard this marriage was for the both of you as the ring is the consequence, but you two need to stay strong!"
Her words were reassuring to Hino and Shizuru, providing them with some encouragement as they faced the challenges ahead. The ring is important to the organization and Marie knows that they must stay focused and determined to continue their investigation into its significance.
As the couple was reflecting on their situation, Marie offered her help again.
She said to them, "If you need any help, I am willing to be there."
This offers the couple some comfort and support, knowing that they have someone they can turn to if they need to. It also shows that Marie is invested in their well-being and wants to help them through the challenges they are facing.
Marie's willingness to support the couple was a welcomed change in attitude. It showed that she was willing to go the extra mile in order to help them and that she was truly committed to resolving the situation. Her efforts were important and necessary to finding the truth and protecting the ring.
As Shizuru and Hino returned home, they both seemed overwhelmed and uncertain about what to do next. They knew they needed to find more information about the ring and the organization that was searching for it, but they felt stuck and lost.
They both decided to investigate the whole ring mess further and try to gather some more facts about the ring and its origins.
They hoped that this investigation would help them to find out why the ring was so important to the organization and why they were so determined to find it.
Hino decided to upload a video message where he shared with the world that he will not be returning the ring to the organization, as he believes they are opportunists and the ring needs to be with its rightful owners, not with them.
Through a video message, Hino hopes to alert the whole world about the organization's selfish attempts to take possession of the ring and how he believes they are trying to misuse it.
This video creates a buzz in the public and soon, everyone is talking about the mysterious historical ring and the organization searching for it.
As Hino shared his video message with his followers, he made it clear that he believed that the organization's intention to claim ownership of the ring was only for their own benefit.
In his message, Hino exclaimed, "This tactic is only for their own gain! They are exposing the ring for their selfish intentions and they are not thinking about the consequence of it! They are only thinking about how they can benefit from the ring, not about the rest of the world! They are using their power and influence to treat me and my wife just for their own gain!"
As Hino's message was shared and gained more interest online, he began to receive more questions from users about the mysterious wedding ring. However, Hino found it difficult to reply without having any evidence to provide them about the meaning behind the ring.
This increased Hino's frustration and feelings of being lost, as he desperately wanted to find the answer to this mystery and share it with the users.
Hino voiced his frustration to Shizuru, saying, "The fact that we still need to investigate the significance of the ring and cannot give the organization any information about it yet is frustrating! It feels like we are running out of time and need to find answers soon."
Hino felt conflicted about the situation, as he knew they needed to find out the meaning behind the ring and the reason why it was so important to the organization. But at the same time, they did not want to rush or take unnecessary risks in the investigation. They needed to find a way to balance their caution and urgency.
As the organization saw Hino's video, they laughed at how he had handled and uploaded it. To them, Hino and Shizuru appear to not be willing to give them the ring, and they seem to not realize the significance of the ring to the organization.
They believe they are both being stubborn and uncooperative, and they think that they are just making up excuses to not give them the ring.
The organization is confident that Hino and Shizuru do not understand the true importance of the ring and they believe it is their responsibility to ensure that the correct people obtain it.
As the organization watched Hino's video, they were amused by the couple's efforts to keep the ring out of their possession. They saw the couple as powerless and insignificant in the face of their power and influence.
They felt like the couple were just like ants, working underneath them and unable to resist their control over them.
This sense of superiority and power made the organization feel even more determined to get the ring, even more so than before. They believed that they had the power and the right to have the ring, and they would do whatever it took to obtain it.
Kurokawa spoke to his henchmen with disdain and cruelty.
"Listen, these couple are like ants under our control," he said. "If they don't give the ring, we might have to eliminate them for good."
The henchmen were stunned by Kurokawa's words and the fact that he felt such brutality against the couple to retrieve the ring. They were shocked and disgusted by Kurokawa's lack of mercy. They could not understand why he would consider killing the couple for the ring and it made them feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
After a moment, Kurokawa's features softened. He held his head and started to stretch his face in an unnatural manner, as if using some kind of force to distort his face. His eyes bulged out and his face seemed to stretch like clay, altering his appearance into something even more gruesome and grotesque.
In an instant, Kurokawa's features shifted and morphed until he was no longer the man the henchmen knew, but something else entirely. His face became an eerie mask of contorted flesh and skin, while his eyes bulged out and his body seemed to stretch like clay. He was no longer a normal person, but a twisted and warped version of himself. The henchmen felt nauseated and disturbed by the sight before them. They could not believe what they were seeing.
The henchmen were shocked and confused as they looked at Kurokawa's horrifying form. Even though they called him Lord Sama, the creature standing in front of them was not the man they once knew.
They didn't understand what had happened and if Kurokawa had been possessed or if this was his true form. All they knew was that this wasn't the Kurokawa they had served for so long and felt scared and uncertain of what was happening "Lord Sama?" one of the henchmen asked curiously, not knowing what to make of the situation.
Kurokawa turned to the henchmen with a twisted grin on his face. "Do you like what you see?" he croaked. "I've been hiding my true form for far too long, but now, I can finally show you what I truly am."
The henchmen were shaken to their core by the creature before them. Their fear began to turn to awe as they looked at Kurokawa's monstrous face. They had never imagined this to be his true form, and they felt as if they were in the presence of something supernatural and incomprehensible.
