Chapter 9 - chapter 8

Emmanuel and Kasai were talking as Jared looked at the headquarters calmly, noticed the place, and wrote down everything he saw until Aihara came to him with her smile and tried to speak to him in English, but all her words were mispronounced until Nina came, and adjusted the words for her When Jared saw her, he said in a low voice: So you joined in the end

Nina smiled at him and said: welcome Bishop.

Jared smiled and said: Jared, please, where is Elena?

Nina said with a smile: she is still in the hotel taking care of herself

Emmanuel came and called Jared to go, and Jared said before following him: say Hi to Elena

When Jared and Emmanuel came out, they began to walk until they reached the park they advanced towards a woman who seemed at the end of her fortieth at the beginning of her fifties, with long hair up to the end of the back, wavy beige mixed with red, with wide eyes red mixed with brown, tending to black, and she had yellowish skin, when she saw them, she stood up and Emmanuel said to her: Let's go back to the hotel, Tessa, where are Ness and Simon?

Someone hugged him from behind and it was a boy who seemed to be a nine-year-old, who had short curly beige hair mixed with red up to the bottom of his ear and sharp eyes drooping in red mixed with brown tending to black with yellowish skin and said in a playful tone: I am back, Dad

Emmanuel lowered himself and patted him on the head and said: Hey Simon, have you seen your sister Ness?

Simon shook and said: I don't know, but she said she wanted to stay more

Emmanuel said to Jared: Can you look for Ness?

Emmanuel went with his wife and son and Jared started looking until he found a fifteen-year-old teenager who had dark brown skin with short curly hair up to the middle of the dark brown neck mixed with dark green with sharp eyes in red mixed with brown tending to black, she was wearing headphones while she was drawing in her small notebook some of the strange drawings until Jared sat next to her and said in a calm tone: I know you know I'm here and you're not even listening to something

Ness sighed and still the headphones or even turning to him and she said in discomfort: I will return before the sixth o'clock, I promise you

Jared smiled and didn't say anything, and Ness returned to drawing until there was calm between them , Ness stood up and started walking, Jared stood up after that and started chasing her quickly, They were walking in a street until Jared stopped watching a the news on television for sale, There was a woman in her early thirties who had pink skin with soft hair up to above her shoulder in light blond color with wide beige eyes tending to light green and had a mole under her left eye, And another under her mouth on the right, she was smiling and laughing with the person in the interview with her wearing a short tight green dress with a lot of white triangles and she was wearing earrings with a lot of triangles and a lot of things she wears have triangles, Jared was staring at her for a long time until Ness stopped when she felt that he was not behind her and she ran to him calling him by his name and then he came back to consciousness and followed her until he grabbed her hand and took her to a simple restaurant and made her order what they wanted and they ate together until he drove her to the hotel where she is staying with her family and then he went somewhere

In the daytime both Kohaku and Kuina were in front of a university, Kuina was very nervous while Kohaku was so quiet that someone called them and it was Masahito and Kuina first uttered a question: Masa? What are you doing here?

Masahito calmly replied: "I have delivered Hato, she works at this university."

Kuina nodded until Masahito decided to help them drive them to the interview and registration room and Kuina was watching the required papers she needed to enter the university, Masahito asked her: What major will you enter?

Kuina answered with a smile: fire engineer

Masahito stopped abruptly, causing Kuina to hit his back and she looked at him confused, Masahito spoke in a low voice: This is not what you want, this is not the future you ever want or want, so why are you still insisting on ignoring this, we all know what you want so why? is this all because of the shock? Kuina think again and don't join today

He grabbed her hand and pulled her out as she tried to pull her hand away from him while she called him and told him to stop until he stopped because someone was in front of him, she was a young woman in her mid-twenties, very pale with long silky silk hair soft silver making of it two ponytails while she had sharp almond eyes in bright red, there was a badge on her clothes with her name written on it; 'Asagiri Kotoko', she spoke in a serious voice: Leave her, sir, or I'll call the guards

Masahito let go of Kuina's hand as she grabbed her wrist and looked a little painful, then the young woman said, "Please stay away from this man."

Masahito said, "I'm Kuina's partner."

Kuina then quickly said, "He's my part-time partner, I'm fine, I swear to you, it's just that he grabbed my wrist tightly."

Kuina pulled Masahito out and then said to him in a low voice: You don't have to say that we are partners, yes it means that we are partners in a business, but some people may be misunderstood

Masahito said to her: let's chat while we are walking

In the end, Kuina starts walking with him in this small area

A call came to Kuina and when she answered it was Marsha she was crying and Kuina didn't understand anything and when she was going to the headquarters she received a message from Kohaku saying that he was going, when Kohaku arrived at the headquarters Kirie was in a difficult situation, Marsha was crying and didn't know what to do until Kohaku grabbed her shoulder to calm her down until Sakiko entered with a syringe and injected Kirie with it and it didn't calm down until more than half an hour later, Kohaku sat next to her and removed the hair from her face She seemed comfortable now after the injection.

Sakiko recently spoke: It was very terrifying, we have not seen such a situation in more than thirty years

Rick rushed into her, worry on his face, and he started asking about her condition with Issei, he was giving him the details and everything he could say to him, and Kohaku stood up and went out before he blinked and looked at Sakiko for a long time, where she got chills, then she turned to him and said in an angry tone: What are you looking at? Is there something on me? Stop staring at me

Kohaku went out without even giving a signal to her or others, for Sakiko Kohaku loses her temper because he is a person who doesn't speak or even gives a lot of signals as it is difficult for people to understand

Yanai went in looking for one of them until Sakiko asked him: Is there something wrong with Yanai?

Yanai smiled at her with his eyes closed and said: Just look for Issei

Issei opened the door of his office and said with a smile: Norihiko has gone to take Yasuji don't worry, sit down now and drink the juice that was prepared for you

Yanai sat on the nearest chair and began to drink the juice he was given while waiting for his younger brother, Rick asked him: Who will take care of you this month?

Yanai started thinking, then smiled and said: Yasuo

Rick scorned and said: Can he even take care of you?

Yanai nodded until Yasuo came in, walked to him, and said: Are you ready? Where is your brother?

Yanai answered and said: Norihiko went to pick him up, and yes I am ready

Yasuo spoke: okay I will be in the cafeteria

Yanai nodded and after minutes Norihiko came with Yasuji in his hand and both Yasuji and Yanai went to Yasuo, Nokiriko stood in front of him and said: We trusted them with you, protect them at any cost

Norihiko's comment made Yasuo to frowned he didn't like this comment , he heard Yasuji laughing which made Yasuo see him in surprised, Yasuji pointed to Yasuo laughing, he was laughing at Yasuo's facial expressions Yasuji laughed for some reason, Yasuo sighed and laughed and carried him with his right arm and grabbed Yanai's hand with his left hand and took them with him to his apartment and there were things for them already and a small room ready for them, Yasuo put Yasuji on the couch and sat next to him Yanai, Yasuo went to cut some fruits to them and brought it to them with glasses of water and sat next to Yanai and started asking him about the school and if he needed some help or not and Yanai always answered him that he was fine and he did not need help and that his presentation was excellent, Yasuo patted him on the head and it seems that this upset Yanai which led to making Yasuji giggle him, Yasuji laughed even though he did not understand what was going on, Yasuji is an energic and innocent boy and a lot of smile and laughter, Yanai turned to Yasuji and looked at him as if he had been betrayed by what Led to make Yasuji stop laughing

After they ate, Yasuo took Yasuji to the bathroom to wash his face and hands and brush his teeth, Yasuo put Yasuji on the bed after changing his clothes, Yanai then went in and went up to bed and then went to sleep

Yasuo went to the bathroom that had a washing machine and put the clothes of the young children to wash them and then went to prepare their bags for the next day until someone knocked on the door of the apartment and when he opened it, he found Masahito and entered it and began to discuss about the Kuina , Yasuo spoke: What she doing is nothing but an effect of what happened to her mother and her life, so she blames herself for what happened to Kohaku, it is true that she is twenty -eighth , but she is still young as what is happening, I don't want for what happened to her and the Ninomiya to happen to the Fuminori brothers, take care of her, Kayamori, everyone loses his nerves for what she is doing, choose what you dream about and what you wanted from a young age, since childhood I used to see you train until you enter the competitions and challenges of gymnastics , if wasn't for that stupid Nobuyoshi , He broke the child, their mother was not able to stop his actions or do something but she was there for them so it would have been better for them if it wasn't for what happened to them, well let's shorten the words, try to convince her to enter what she really wants not something else she wants only for what happened to her you understand me of course

Masahito hadn't uttered a word since his arrival, causing Yasuo to sigh, Then he stood up and gave Masahito a glass of water and spoke again: Please take care of her, I don't want to ask too much of you but please, it's my first time begging you with something so don't disappoint me

Kuina was drinking from ramune(1) while she was in a small café, she turned to Shozo's wife and said: What do you think, Shinohara?

Shinohara stood up as she walked, holding a pot, and said in astonishment: What?

Kuina laughed and then said: Nothing, sorry, can I get more from Ramune?

Shinohara smiled and brought her more, Kuina took off her shoes and sat squatting in the chair while she was looking at the empty seat in front of her even minutes before the restaurant closed she paid and stood outside waiting for Shinohara, when the café closed and everyone came out Kuina started walking with Shinohara, none of them said a word all the way They rode by bullet train as it would take an hour to hour and a half to arrive, They reached a very long staircase and each of them began to climb until they reached a huge wooden building, the building was divided into four sections, a large section in the middle, a small section on the left, a smaller section of them all on the right, and a section of not bad size hidden in the back, Shozo was sitting on the floor drinking some saki (2)

Kuina bowed to him and Shinohara smiled and said: I'm home, Shozo

Shozo stood up and patted her head and then she went to the back in the section, Shozo went to Kuina and said to her: Thank you for taking care of her

Kuina smiled and replied: no need to thank me, do you have anything you want me to help you with?

Shozo said in an expressionless and cold tone: no thank you, again

As Kuina was walking she came across an old woman who seemed to be lost, kuina ran to her smiled at her, and said to her with warmth and respect: Do you need help, Aunt? What are you doing so late? Let me take you home

The old woman smiled at her she had a lot of wrinkles on her long face, she had drooping eyes in light brown with very short curly white hair with some black tufts and she had light ivory skin, Kuina started helping her She was looking for the address with her until Kuina found out that she would ride the train again for a few minutes farther from her home to help the old woman, after an hour of searching They now stood in front of a very small house and front of the side door it was written 'Liz pottery shop' A lady came out who does not look young or old in age and appearance, she has some wrinkles in her face, she had slightly dark skin that tends to be slightly yellowish and hair below her chin in black and has sharp eyes in a quiet grayish-brown color, the lady ran to the woman and said to her with a little anger and annoyance: Didn't I tell you not to come, Rina? oh my god, what are others going to say now?

The old woman was still smiling and said to her: don't worry Liz, I already told them, let's go in so this cute young lady leaves, oh and yes come young lady some cash to buy a ticket for your return, thank you very much, young lady

The old woman entered and the lady entered after her without saying a word to Kuina, Kuina returned home and it was empty, Kuina sat on the stairs while she was talking to Kohaku via messages about his whereabouts and kirie's condition, Kuina changed her clothes and went into the bathroom to wash the dirty clothes after putting them in the washing machine and started brushing her teeth until she noticed something behind her moving through the mirror, she turned slowly and found a huge worm on the wall, she screamed and threw her brush on it and went out running from the bathroom and locked the door behind her, she entered her room and locked the door behind her and called Kohaku and when he answered her she was having difficulty talking until she shouted at him and said: There is a huge worm in the bathroom

Kohaku hung up on Kuina, she was waiting for him to come back when she heard her bathroom door open she was relieved and fifteen minutes later he knocked on her room door and when she opened it he had already entered his room when she ran to see what happened she found him getting rid of the worm and he had cleaned the whole bathroom, she said out loud: Thank you Kohaku

Rick was watching Kirie, who was still in a coma, until Sakiko walked in, smiling, and said in a low voice, "You can go and rest, Rick, you don't have to exhaust yourself

Rick never moved, he was watching Kirie silently and looking exhausted, Sakiko was going to go to him but Issei stopped her and told her that he had already tried but it never worked so they made him stay, people came in and he came out and he stayed like that until the next morning, it was eight o'clock in the morning and the place was quiet, someone walked in and grabbed his shoulder this led him to sigh, and say in a rough, angry voice: I told you to leave me alone, I have no tasks and I have nothing to do, so leave me alone

Meanwhile, Marsha was trying to enter the healer's department while she was carrying many heavy papers for her until Aihara bumped into her, which led to Marsha falling to the ground and all the papers start to fall to the ground, which led to some of them falling from the floor they are on to other floors, and some of them fall with other drinks or places that are difficult to return to their true form, Marsha screamed while Aihara was repeating her apology more than once, Marsha started crying, it was Issei takes the rest of the papers and goes up to her and pats her on the head with his usual quiet smile and said softly: No need for all this crying Marsha everything is fine It's just papers. I'll rewrite all the reports, so don't worry, you too, Aihara, There's no need for all this apology
