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 . ]
