141 Everything is his (1/2)

[I still have one final job to do . ]

Saying so, John Smith started digging and have Yukime return to the capital once .

The final expression of kindness on Gettan's face bring back a nostalgic memory .

Yukime took a night's rest in the capital, she used the real banknotes to exchange it back to gold coins and return to the hideout .

Her wound was healed by John Smith . That ugly scar on her back had disappeared beautifully .

Her physical and mental wound healed, she now truly believe that everything is over . It was supposed to, but the word [Cult] Gettan mentioned still linger in her ears .

What has caused him to change .

Does my revenge really over with this?

What if Gettan was only being used... and the real enemy is still out there .

Arriving at the hideout, she carry the gold coins and headed to the vault only to be surprised by its contents .

[This is...]

The inside was completely empty .

A woman in black appears without a sound from behind Yukime who is tilting her head .

[You are Yukime of the Yukikitsune Company right...… . or should address you as one of the pillar of the Lawless City instead .

[————!?]

When Yukime looked back, she saw a beautiful elf with platinum hair .

[You are?]

Yukime asked, preparing to pull her iron fan out at any time .

[I am Alpha . One of the Shadow Garden . If you reacted like that, he still hasn't told you right?]

[Alpha... . . ]

Yukime known that John Smith/Shadow is the head of Shadow Garden .

However, he never talked about Shadow Garden with her before . Come to think of it, it was weird .

[You are his collaborator… . . and the one Gettan from the Great Commerce a.s.sociation loved right... . ]

[What do you want to say . ]

[First, I was thinking about handing this letter to you . The seal has already been opened, but I thought it was a good idea to hand it to you . ]

[This is... . ?]

What Alpha took out was an old letter .

[The a.s.sociation will collapse today . Before that happen we have to retrieve what we can . This was found in Gettan's room, his letter to you...No, you could call it his testament . ]

[Gettan's... . ]

Yukime received the letter and start reading .

The first thing that surprised her was its messy handwritings . Despite his blindness he must written this letter alone without relying on others . From the messy handwritings Yukime could feel his trace and his warmth .

That letter began with the remorse he felt for Yukime and his hometown and how he curse his own weakness .

Then, she found a surprising fact written inside .

[The cult of Diablos… . ]

That was the ident.i.ty of the one that changed Gettan .

After reading the letter, Yukime raised his face and looked at the alpha .

[I am also a person of the lawless city . I already have an information that there's an organization that is lurking in the shadow . ]
