Chapter 585 - What Did You Say? (1/2)

Kanae's House

After the battle with Anna, Kanae hurriedly went back home. Her hands were filled with scratches as she tried to defend herself when Anna attacked her. Their condition was rather severe, but she didn't have any other choice as she couldn't possibly protect every part of her body during the battle.

'I really wish Shiro was here.'

Taking out the ointment and other medicine, she started to treat her hands. If Shiro was here, he would gladly help her out. Unfortunately, that doctor should stay in Lima School because of his business, leaving the others.

Knock! Knock!

”Come in,” Kanae replied. She put away the first aid box that she used as she sat down on the chair calmly.

The door opened, revealing Patrick who had a solemn look. Without beating the bush, he directly asked the question he had wanted to ask. ”Rei, did you kill Anna?”

”You heard the news very quickly, Father,” Kanae showed a bitter smile.

Patrick sighed. ”Matt is the one who gets the news. He has some relations with the higher ups, so whenever an awakened person dies, they'll know right away. The location of the body is in Black Street, so I suspect that you have some relation with this matter.”

”Yes. I secretly follow after her, but she found out about that. After that, the battle is inevitable. I can't possibly let her live if I want to preserve my life,” Kanae smiled wryly.

Patrick didn't blame her. He knew that he would have done the same if he was in Kanae's shoes. However, the death of Anna would quicken the inevitable battle against the government.

”You really should learn how to stay low.”

”I'm already low-key, Father,” Kanae complained. ”Also, I found out that there's a building inside the forest. It's a rather large building that looks like a forest from outside.”

”Oh?”

Patrick's eyes narrowed when he heard about the building. He had some suspicion regarding the forest because the government placed strict restrictions for anyone who wanted to get inside. However, he never tried to investigate further because it would be dangerous.

Kanae picked up her pencil and started drawing on the paper. Although she was not an expert in drawing, she has some skills in this field that would allow her to show the building's shape.

”The color of the wall is similar to trees and the roof is green. I think that they make it like that to avoid getting found out.”

Patrick nodded. ”The satellite view of the school didn't show anything suspicious in the forest. It seems, we need to pay a visit to Matt again.”

”I'll let you do it, Father. I don't want to get too involved in the government,” Kanae shrugged.

”Alright, now you better have some rest. Your wounds won't heal if you don't.”

”I want to visit Kevin,” Kanae smiled awkwardly. She was planning to help out in the Ryukalin Clan again after the class has been over. If not because of Anna, she would have returned back to Ryukalin Clan by now. The blood stain was uncomfortable, so she chose to wash up first.

”Ah,” Patrick flashed a knowing smile. He eyed Kanae with a playful glint. ”Sure, sure, your husband is waiting for you too.”

”Father, we're not married yet.”

”Yet?”

Kanae got the urge to smack this father of hers. Why did he have to nitpick on her words so much when it was regarding Kevin? ”We're not married.”

”But you will be in a matter of time. There's nothing wrong with me calling you two as husband and wife.”
