Chapter 1481: Give her a chance 1 (2/2)
”Jack, what's your wish?” Haru asked.
”My wish?” Jack looked at Haru with a smile then said, ”I want to return to my mother's womb!”
Hearing that answer, Haru thought that Jack wanted to be reborn once again and this time, she wanted to be born on the stomach of a woman that loved her. He then looked at Reika Rikudou, who was looking at him in wary.
Even though Reika knew from Jack the Ripper that this young man might not hurt them, she also understood that, considering how comfortable she felt beside this young man for some reason.
'What kind of feeling is this?'
Reika had seen a lot of men in her life since she had been working as a prostitute. She wasn't those ignorant girls who would fall in love with someone because of looks or wealth, and rather than a man, she cared about her daughter more.
While Reika was looking at Haru, Haru also looked at Reika.
When Haru learned about Reika's background, he knew that the life of this woman was quite unfortunate and it wouldn't be weird if she decided to commit suicide one day, however, the appearance of Jack the Ripper had given her hope in life, especially when Jack the Ripper was someone who had saved her.
After all, before the Holy Grail War began, Reika was used as a sacrifice to summon Jack the Ripper by Jack the Ripper's previous master.
If Jack the Ripper didn't choose Reika at that time, Reika would have already died and because of that Reika was grateful to Jack and the relationship between the two of them became dependent.
Then suddenly...
Jack the Ripper closed her eyes and fell into Haru's arms.
”Jack!”
Reika quickly panicked and knew that there was something wrong, especially when she saw how Jack closed her eyes and fell into Haru's chest, however, she knew that she was powerless and she didn't have the power to save Jack.
Reika was full of panic and quickly said, ”Don't kill Jack! I will do anything, but please don't kill Jack!”
”......”
Haru was speechless, but she also understood Reika's reaction, considering how both of them were unfamiliar. Even though he might have created a good impression on Reika because of his appearance, the existence of Jack was more important than him in Reika's heart.
”Don't worry, I won't kill her,” Haru said.
”....”
Reika didn't believe Haru's words and was ready to shoot her pistol, but Haru suddenly appeared beside her and grabbed her pistol.
”What?!”
”Calm down, I won't do anything to you,” Haru said with a helpless expression.
”Then what do you want to do?” Reika kept, staring at this young man. Her expression showed that even if she died, she would save Jack no matter what.
”You should know that if I let Jack live in this world, then she will kill a lot of people. Even if all the people that she kills are all bad guys, you should know that isn't the solution, right?”
”...Then what? Why are you helping us?” Reika could tell that Haru didn't mean harm, however, she didn't understand his motive for helping her.
Haru caressed Jack's hair, looking at Jack, who was sleeping in his arms, then said, ”I just want to give her a second chance.” He then looked at Reika and asked, ”I want to grant Jack's wish, what do you think?”
”........”
