Planetes
3. h. Ryan is Medusa?

When Elliot takes his eyes off or rather takes his face off from Ryan, making the black-haired girl who is disguised as a lanang feel sick.

Ryan did not know where he was from but it hurt also when someone seemed reluctant after knowing his deepest secrets. But Ryan tried to understand this, after all he also behaved the same earlier. Not looking at Elliot. And he should have been used to it anyway. If not people will look into his eyes, he will avoid.

There's a reason why Elliot did it. With regard to the sin that he—or rather, his other self did in the past. Poseidon did something inappropriate.

Will Elliot be able if this young man later gets angry with him? When his power is not hindered by curses, it doesn't matter. But for now? The bentala sighed.

Ryan's gaze went straight to his teacher again, "Then Master said I should use my eyes? Isn't it a bit ... dangerous?"

Ryan gave the code that it is dangerous to overuse his eyes. Moreover, nothing else and not if until the alter ego that comes out. If it happens when he is eradicating the curse spirit, there will be many casualties.

Kazuto finished his cigarette, with a smile he looked at Ryan.『Fuhm, that's why I bravely used your eyes, because there is a special interesting item for you.』

"Special for me? Not in that box?"

『Aa!』

The black box that had been beside Kazuto, he would now open. After opening it, a purple eye patch appeared. It looks simple but complex.

『This is the item I want to show you. Gorgon Breaker.』

Hearing his name Ryan was shocked. How not to be surprised if the one in front of you right now is an item or artifact that comes from the time of the gods. More from Ancient Greece.

"Teacher! This is really Medusa's legacy, isn't it? That's not fake?"

『You can check by yourself if in doubt, that's your specialty, right?』

Hearing this, Ryan took out his spare white gloves. And try to check the authenticity of the goods.

『With this, you can make a plan to fight that spirit. Hows it? You relieved to hear that?』

Now that Kazuto turned to Elliot, the blue-haired young man caught Kazuto's attention earlier. And now Kazuto was analyzing how the young man had reacted.

A complicated conversation between teacher and disciple occurred again in front of him. Of course he understands some, and no wonder if there is a sacred item.

"I was confused as to what to react to," Elliot finally opened his voice after a long time. He looked straight at Ryan.

"Although, I'll thank you for helping me." There was pain in his chest as long as he spoke. His tongue feels ugly.

Ryan had finished examining the thing his teacher called Gorgon Breaker, not expecting it to be real. It was definitely very precious, and most importantly it could indeed suppress his eyes.

"Teacher, how did the teacher get this thing?" ryan asked curiously, as he remembered the teacher was not very interested in this matter. Indeed, Gorgon Breaker was very influential in his research on the Mystical Eyes of Assassins, but finding this object must be difficult.

『There are my customers who gave it to me to learn. He said thank you to me for helping him. That's for you, you need it more.』

'A fancy gift.' thought Ryan then, but unsuspecting. This teacher is something.

"But, what not what"

Just now Ryan wanted to ask further, but Elliot's voice suddenly interrupted. And immediately the attention so in the direction of Elliot, not to mention with his words just now.

"Ryan, I know this isn't directed at you, but I'll apologize to you first. If later you want to vent your anger on me, I won't fight." in the end he said it.

Apologizing? To him? What is Elliot wrong? He's not the one who planted Medusa's eyes on him, is he?

Still confused, Ryan decided to listen until the end.

"I told you before that I am immortal, right? Right, but with the condition that if I was killed by someone other than my celestial family." there was a pause there before he continued.

"Then, this body is empty without a soul. You know why I came to the beach that time? I told you, I want to see someone, right? Because it was in the sea that my soul was." it passed a pretty heavy exhalation.

"There is no such thing as coincidence in this world, existence is a necessity. Something that was destined. Ryan, you're destined to meet me and.." He felt hard continuing this sentence. "...I am the other. Ocean ruler. It has to do with the eyes that dwell on you."

Elliot is waiting for Ryan's next reaction. Whatever happens, let it be. He didn't lie in the first place, did he? But he no longer knew what to say, especially now.

"You can be angry at me, it's my responsibility too." There's pain gushing at Elliot's smile. A smile full of guilt.

Word by word, sentence by sentence came out of the mouth of the blue planet. Makes him turn his eyes.

Ocean ruler. Related to his eyes & more precisely Medusa. The soul is in the sea. The clues definitely point to a point.

Poseidon.

Ryan messed up his hair—meaning his wig, to the point of falling apart. Fate seems to like to play tricks on him. He wants to laugh right now.

「Clarissa, let me out. This jerk turned out to be related to him.」

Ryan—meaning Clarissa, heard the voice, yet she was still speechless. Try to think cold and digest all the information.

The silence lasted for quite a while, the Master did nothing either. It's like Ryan's unstable.

"Teacher .. I brought the Gorgon Breaker."

After saying that, Ryan immediately picked up the black box containing the Gorgon Breaker. Ryan also quickly pulled Elliot out of here.

『Oi, Clarity please.』

Even the call of his teacher was not heeded. After he pulls Elliot from there until they head to Elliot's motor park.

"We need to talk ..."

Ryan's voice is heavy, and he looks dangerous. Yeah, he used the trait side of one more.

Elliot saw Ryan differently after he told him about it. Even taking that sacred object and paying attention to the ears of Kazuto's call.

Elliot had guessed. Her tarot card today is the Queen of Pentacles in an inverted position. It means he's going to have something bad. He had thought that this would end up being ordinary or negotiable.

But somehow Elliot felt that his negotiating ability was useless at the moment. He saw a change in attitude towards Ryan.

Whether the man felt shock or what, Elliot had no idea. For now he was brought out of that place and here they are. In front of Elliot, Ryan looked different from before.

There was an aura of vengeance enveloping him. He knew clearly because he had faced this before. And again, why did Kazuto call Ryan with 'Claris'?

"I will listen" the clerk closed his eyes for a moment. "Ask whatever you want to know."

"I'll answer, Ryan." His gaze was fixed on Ryan, without even blinking.

"Tell me everything about yourself. And who do you mean by that soul???"

What Ryan meant was Poseidon, but he wanted to hear from Elliot's mouth. Ryan took a breath. Weary. I think he's more tired now. Tired of his life to be exact.

Ryan hates this. But on the one hand, it might be the answer he had been looking for all this time.

"I'll tell you myself." Ryan's voice gradually changed, unlike a moment ago. He still has the sanity not to fall into his alter ego hole.

Not for the moment. It was hard for Chylara not to come out and use her body. Back, he broke his wig.

"Clarissa is my real name. There's a reason I'm disguised like this." The young woman in the male guise begins her story. "As you heard earlier, I have mystic eyes. The Mystic Eyes of Petrification. The eyes of Medusa. But I can't control these eyes ..."

Ryan took a deep breath, it was hard to tell your biggest secret to a stranger. But the stranger can be said to keep the key to all your problems.

"... I have an Alter Ego named Chylara, who is from Stheno. Then it can be a monster, and arguably a part of Euryale. You could say I was the incarnation of the Gorgon itself. This is all I can say." Ryan finished his explanation, his tongue was now muffled. They stay for a long time. "I will still help you, with your curse. But I'm asking for a decent fee, Elliot. About you and your soul."
