3. g's. The Fact behind Ryan Identity

Beyond a doubt, the ability to drive this lanang does not need to be doubted. Setali three money with himself who used to wade in various places with various vehicles. Although Elliot prefers to drive a motorcycle than other vehicles.

Evidently with that, they reached the location faster. Elliot passed the exhalation. Not wrong he chose a trail type motorcycle that is strong through various terrains.

"Till! I haven't been on a motorcycle in a long time!"

"You're great, Monsieur." he praised as he followed Ryan into the old building.

When he was done riding his bike, Ryan got praise from Elliot. Again Ryan just scratched the cheek with a slightly reddened face, he rarely gets compliments. Even if it can, it feels only in the form of pleasantries that do not please the heart.

Essentially Elliot praises a person not for being on the basis of pleasantries. He was sincere in praising someone. As he usually does to his peers or to his children.

He said they deserve appreciation. Such is what is always embedded in the mind of the bentala.

Satisfied with his driving ability, they arrived faster than they should have. They immediately went inside, to find a dark-haired man with firm jaws who seemed to have just finished bathing and was about to smoke.

『So soon you guys are here. I didn't expect it to be this fast either.』

Commenting on the man while smoking a cigarette, he then glanced towards the blue planet with a sharp gaze of his.

『Not usually you bring people with you.』

"For one thing two I accepted his request ..." Ryan thought whether he should explain it or not, "he was cursed so I helped him."

Not long after the laughter of the man exploded,『Ahahahaha! You you? Helping her? It's less believable if you don't ask for a price. Well, all right, I won't ask you more. That's your business.』

Kazuto then approached Elliot, and extended his hand.

『It seems not too late to get acquainted. My name is Muraki Kazuto. Teacher from Ryan.』

For a moment, the buana gasped. It's nothing, the atmosphere in this room is so singular. There was a certain aura that Elliot could not describe with words. Then felt a bit rowdy hearing the conversation between Ryan and the dark-haired man with glasses.

Elliot lashed out when he heard footsteps approaching and he welcomed Kazuto's hand. Not forgetting his special smile.

"Elliot Alexis Bouvard Urbaine Le Verrier, Monsieur Muraki. It's nice to meet you. You can call me Elli for short."

『Alright, you can come to my workshop. Because that's where I'll tell you something.』

Kazuto led the two of them all the way to his study, or so-called research room. There were many real human-shaped dolls, and the room was rather dark with a reddish dim.

Then, the dark-haired adam took out a large black box.

『This is the thing I want to tell you. But before I asked first about your arrival.』ucap Kazuto while smoking his cigarette again. He looked hard at Ryan.

Ryan was a bit uncomfortable with the look, but he also had the 'side.

"So, Elliot was cursed by a human ritual. Then the curse burdened him. I wanted to get rid of the curse, but Master knew I didn't understand the concept." Ryan explained, handing over a paper listing Elliot's curse.

Kazuto read the paper carefully, he was shocked at first and now stared intently at Elliot. It was as if he was figuring out who exactly the bluish-haired man was.

"I'll tell you clearly later. Identity about Elliot." Ryan understood the meaning of the gaze, "However, for now, can you help us first, Master?"

Kazuto smoked his cigarette deeply, before exhaling his smoke.

『Good..』.

Then here Elliot is now, in another place from the galih residence called 〔workshop〕tadi. His net glared around him. This place is so strange he thinks. Makes shudder.

Afterwards he listened to Ryan tell him about their arrival to this place. The look on his face changed when Ryan put out the paper he wrote. Ah, that look was now on her. Makes her smile rattling.

"Whatever you want to ask later, I will answer honestly. Relax, I'm not gonna hide anything." Elliot began to make a sound after being silent for a long time. "By the way, please help him, Monsieur Muraki." he bowed his body to Adam politely.

『Kazuto only can.』Kazuto responds to Elliot's remarks before he moves away, now he's rendering at his desk.

"Alright, Kazuto-san." it's a bit strange for him who used to speak French when changing his dialect.

But he could not let go of his manners. That's the ugly side of the bentala. He's a little stubborn on this.

『Before Ryan, I have something to ask you. What do you think all these curses equal?』Kazuto directly questioned him, it felt really like a teacher questioning him when his student was in school.

Ryan tried to remember, "They're all ... The spirit?"

Although somewhat doubtful, but that was all he could draw a conclusion.

『True. Although these rituals are of many kinds. But they are one, the Spirit. And spirits are just like souls, they are just souls looking for a container.』Kazuto smiled, or rather smirked. 『Of course the soul is different from the body. The body is just a container, they have no purpose. Unlike the spirits, they still had a purpose. Just take advantage of their destination.』

"Utilizing their purpose..." Ryan this time tried to think again, what is the purpose of them. "... what is possible. Kill the man who did this?"

Afterwards, he listened to the teacher and the student ask each other questions. Discuss the problems that are being experienced. For a moment, Elliot grimaced.

Is Elliot now bothering earthling again for this problem? To be honest, he doesn't want any more victims in this. Although Elliot wants to be free from the curse, it doesn't mean he's asking someone to take his place.

『Absolutely. If their ritual is successful, then nothing happens. But if it fails? They'll be after your life. You just have to use the ritual again and kill them.』

"Wait on! You mean Master I have to fight them?!"

Ryan doesn't believe what he hears, fighting spirits? It's been crazy the teacher. While Kazuto just stared at Ryan in wonder.

『What if you fight them? Don't tell me you don't know what I mean?』

"What indeed?" Staring dejectedly at the teacher, "I have nothing to resist. Except the runes that Master taught."

『Yeah, I didn't expect you to humble yourself to this extent. What I mean is your eyes. Don't tell me you forgot you had those eyes Ryan!』

Now the teacher screamed. Ryan blinked his eyes, completely forgetting that he had Mystical Eyes. But how else, he rarely wears it.

『The eyes belong to Gorgon, or rather Medusa. Is the key against this curse.』

Ryan's attention then turned to Elliot. To be honest he somewhat forgot the blue planet, but now Elliot already knows his biggest secret.

'I'm so careless.'

Ryan patted her face.

The discussion gets more complicated when the solution of all those problems is that Ryan is required to fight the spirits. He was surprised by one thing.

The eyes of Ryan's eating are mystic eyes. Moreover, the eyes belonged to Medusa. The Gorgon who once dealt with Poseidon.

Destiny is so funny. Elliot admitted. How could he meet something that had dumped him in the past in this era?

It feels like this embodiment of Neptune wants to cry. He certainly can not cover the shock that runs in peroman. That's why he turned his eyes the other way. I dare not look at Ryan.
