Chapter 375 - Investigating (2/2)

”Can you check what time?”

”It was around 11 am,” Jay informed.

Zenith shook his head, ”That's impossible, though. Pupillam was reported missing at one.”

”It's a trap. Someone's messing with us,” Shioka said.

Someone? No, that's wrong here. Lyn looked around and scanned the floor. From the edge of one of the buildings, she saw a piece of purple fabric. She made her way over and pulled it out.

This didn't seem like something her sister would do at all. Could it be someone else? But either way, the entire kidnapping scenario was strange. People reported Pupillam missing at 1, yet she was definitely by this area at 11 and dropped her necklace. From what Zenith told her, this necklace seemed to hold some value. If that's the case, then Pupillam would never let go of it. The enemy wouldn't know about the tracking magic infused in it.

Zenith scooped up the necklace in her hands. ”Tracking magic aside. I recorded it.”

”Can you access it?”

”I should be able to. But it will take a bit of time.”

Lyn nodded. ”Then, I will go look over there.”

”Hey, wait, Lyn, don't go off alone-” Shioka called out but stopped when he looked at her. ”..be careful, okay?”

”Yes,” with those words said Lyn quickly left the area and increased her footsteps by the minute. The reason for this was because she sensed him. Lyn did not think it was him at first, but the more time went by, her senses became clearer.

After walking for a few minutes, she turned a few corners, and a hand shot out and reached over to her. She found herself in a familiar pair of arms. ”Kazuya.”

”Hey, good job.”

Lyn sighed, ”What are you doing here?”

”I thought we could investigate together,” Kazuya trailed off and frowned. ”You don't want to?”

”No, that's not it,” she reached over and caressed his face. Is he better now? If he isn't, then she should co- her thoughts broke when he brushed his forehead against hers. He whispers a few words in her ear, and Lyn felt the tears well up from her eyes. ”You really are a fool.” She noticed it the moment he got close, Kazuya is heavily wounded.

Kazuya laughed, ”You know Lyn, I have many wishes and dreams when it comes to you. When it comes to our future. I've already deviated from the plan. The elders are surely going to reprimand and punish me when I return. But, even then, I don't care. I want to be with you, Lyn.”
