Chapter 310: Milky Means (4)

—Please save me…

Nonetheless, Akane sometimes remembers the Theia of that day. Its a part of the myriad desires dreamt by numerous dolls.

—Please save me…!

A black beast gasping, caught to the melting asphalt. Younger Theia, maybe about seven years previous.

She had been hiding beneath the corpse of a monster, crawling on the bottom begging for assist, however at the moment, I used to be excessively rational and simply stared blankly.

—Save me, please!!!

Unable to bear it any Longer, Theia screamed desperately. Solely then did Akane assist her to face.

She clung to herself like a wild animal.

—Assist, please assist.

—I did simply assist you.

—Not simply me, there are extra children inside!

Since then, Theia had at all times been grasping. Akane discovered it fairly bothersome however tried to detach herself.

—Akane. Compassion is among the most simple human feelings, her mentor intervened.

—If you wish to deal with dolls, you’ll want to perceive human feelings.

—Is that so?

Akane simply accepted it.

Once more, at the moment, she was fairly excessively rational.

—Right here, this manner!

Theia led Akane. Guided by her hand, Akane entered the village.

The streets had been a horror present of human entrails and flesh strewn about, with blood and particles forming rivulets that trickled down.

Akane lit a cigarette in opposition to the burning wall of a home, puffing out acrid smoke as she adopted Theia.

—Hey guys! Guys!

Theia referred to as out. She did not Search for her mother and pop. She knew they had been already lifeless.

—Hey! Guys!

Theia ran round desperately. Akane adopted her, and attracted by the noise, killed a couple of monsters that attacked.

—Right here, right here it’s!

Lastly, Theia achieved her objective. She had discovered the kids.

—Right here, right here!

About half a dozen bloodied kids had been hiding in an underground bunker on the playground. Most had been unconscious with pale complexions.

—Right here, right here!

Theia appeared again at Akane, whimpering like a pet asking for assist.

—Alright, I received it.

Akane checked on the kids.

—No person’s lifeless. They’re going to survive.

Simply exhaustion and fatigue. No severe accidents.

-Ah… Ahhh.

At Akane’s phrases, Theia cried. After crying, the strain launched, and she or he Lay down and fell asleep.

Akane watched her with a little bit of disbelief.

—Lets go now, stated the mentor.

Akane snuffed out her cigarette and shook her head.

—Ought to we take this one with us?

—Hmm?

The mentor Appeared stunned.

—You stated compassion was essential. She appears to have potential too.

Expertise typically reveals itself in excessive conditions.

Theia had been hiding beneath the corpse of a monster. However who had killed that monster? It was most likely Theia herself.

“…Sure.”

The mentor smiled faintly.

“Then, lets wait right here.”

He constructed a barrier. It was a thoughtful barrier that separated them from the exterior flames, ash, and the scent of blood.

That was the start of a fateful connection.

From that day, Theia turned the disciple of the Holy Knight ‘Athan; and the three of them spent a very long time collectively, sharing each hardships and joys.

Akane discovered about feelings because of Theia. Regardless of her extreme accidents, Theia’s emotional expressions had been vivid, and since she was so completely different from herself, Akane considerably felt as if she had gained a youthful sister.

Thats why Akane was offended.

When she herself had change into a monster, when she had ‘chosen’ to change into a monster so she might Stay.

Akane was offended at Theia’s anger.

“I saved your life, I took you in beneath the mentor’s steering, and you’ll’t even overlook the truth that I implanted a monster’s arm on the appropriate aspect?”

“No, is not that the way it needs to be?”

This ungratefuL…

“…Fucking bitch.”

Akane cursed as she opened her eyes.

Immediately, she Checked out her collarbone. There was no mark indicating it was faux, however the ‘actual’ certainty Shion had testified about Final night time was fleeting.

As a result of her Reminiscence was the identical for all dolls.

What everybody is aware of can’t be proof.

Theia awakened on the small mattress within the workshop workplace. It appeared she had fallen asleep with out realizing it.

“…Yawn.”

She awakened and shuffled outdoors.

Even within the early morning, there have been many disciples within the lab, however most of them had been napping on sofas or chairs. It was due to the [Derek Artificial Intelligence Data] that Theia had obtained.

They had been pouring all day into analyzing the information.

Nonetheless, one man was conscious.

Gerkhen.

“…”

He was a man brimming with expertise. He was an ideal knight with distinctive expertise.

He had mastered sword energy as a swordsman and purchased a wonderful Magic Physique as a knight.

He had the potential to surpass her sometime.

Nonetheless, Theia was anxious.

This act of hers was nearly Like declaring struggle on Derek and Libra. An enraged Derek would absolutely make her and people round her endure.

“Gerkhen.”

Theia referred to as him. Gerkhen turned to take a look at her.

“Hmm… I’ve checked it.”

He nodded in satisfaction as he took it.

“Sure.”

“Ah, wait. Dr. Killian?”

As I used to be about to show away, he handed me a key card.

“Take this. Its for the Hanja Resort at Ortus.”

The Ortus Symposium is held in Edsilla’s Ortus, a district well-known for its prosperous scholarly neighborhood and dotted with luxurious inns.

Amongst them, the Hanja Resort is famend throughout the continent for its luxurious.

“Presidential suite. It looks as if you are operating low on funds.”

“Ah… Thanks.”

Surprisingly, Vito was treating Killian much better than I had anticipated.

Was this a part of his suspicion, or did Vito secretly Lengthy for somebody who understood him?

I could not make sure, however coping with these folks taught me one factor for sure.

In the event you’re ready to soiled your soul, you’ll be able to even befriend a satan.

“Thanks…”

I slipped the important thing card into my pocket and shuffled awkwardly in entrance of Vito.

Vito, scrutinizing my expression, requested,

“Do you’ve one thing else to say?”

“Effectively… Physician.”

I glanced round cautiously earlier than presenting Derek’s proposal.

“Mr. Derek needs to entrust me with a brand new enterprise.”

“…A brand new enterprise?”

Vito skimmed by the doc and frowned.

“Why are you telling me this?”

His voice was sharp, nearly as if he felt betrayed.

“…As a result of.”

I whispered into Vito’s ear.

“My cause for being right here is not due to Libra.”

His expression darkened. To him, I spoke as if confessing, as if reciting a poem.

“I needed to work with Dr. Vito, to Study beneath you… and to collaborate with you. My cause for being right here is the mind named Vito.”

Vito snorted with Laughter.

“…Do not say such issues elsewhere. Its embarrassing.”

He pushed the marketing strategy again to me.

“That is most likely as a result of I am considered one of Mr. Sherlock’s folks. Derek should wish to fill the corporate along with his personal folks too.”

I awkwardly took again the proposal.

“Do not refuse it. That may solely anger him.”

“However, I”

“Hearken to me. Derek is a person of sturdy satisfaction. Quite, act as in case you are changing into considered one of Derek’s folks.”

“…Sure. I am going to strive.”

“Good.”

Vito nodded and clicked his mouse.

Click on- Click on-

Fidgeting with the harmless pc desktop, he left a significant remark.

“Currently, Mr. Riley has been staying near you.”

“Ah, that”

“Watch out. That particular person, she’s suspicious.”

A chill ran down my backbone.

Vito had observed.

Was there a leak of knowledge from inside [Vancheon]? Or had he merely executed some background checks?

Both approach, it was surprising.

“…Sure, I will be cautious.”

Riley’s time was operating out.

One week earlier than the Ortus Symposium.

Whereas driving, Riley acquired a telegram from [Vancheon]. It was a radio code that meant ‘hazard, step again: Furthermore, for the previous few days, all of the warnings had been directed at —the owl, which means herself.

It implied that one thing was Lurking in Ortus.

“Ha…”

Simply when the visitors Mild stopped him, Riley sighed deeply and contemplated.

Right this moment, he was heading to Ortus. As a Libra worker, she was to take part, making ready a correct presentation and selling their merchandise.

This meant she needed to keep there for at the very least ten days. Whether or not she Appreciated it or not, the second she attended as Libra’s secretary, she could not Depart.

It meant Ortus might change into her graveyard.

“…”

Riley agonized intensely however finally turned off the radio.

It isn’t sufficient but.

The knowledge he had handed to Theia wasn’t sufficient to definitively convey down Derek. There have been too many believable excuses that could possibly be made.

Derek was nonetheless committing inhuman acts.

She could not let the identical previous disasters occur once more.

The burning village. Her dying mom and father. She remembers the various adults who tried to save lots of her whilst they had been chased by the monster. All these folks nonetheless flickered earlier than her eyes.

For his or her sake, Riley should take revenge.

She should convey Derek to wreck…

In the meantime, she arrived on the assembly place.

She stopped on the sidewalk of Edsilla Sq..

Not distant, a health care provider keen on Luxurious was standing.

“…H e re!”

Riley rolled down the window and flashed a shiny smile. Dr. Killian approached with a smile.

His garments had been all designer manufacturers. Most likely costlier than her automobile.

“lts nerve-wracking.”

He stated as he climbed into the passenger seat.

“Sure, certainly. It truly is nerve-wracking.”

Riley nodded as if she actually felt the identical.
