Roped Fate
Ch.72: Please Forget it!

This morning trip only takes about 20 minutes to get to the destination. Once there, the father parked his car.

To be able to get to the destination headquarters, they still need to walk about 2km from the parking lot.

Although Riko had no intention of meeting her stepmother, but she quite enjoyed her journey towards the exorcist headquarters. The road full of bushes and surrounded by shady forests makes it quite challenging, besides some areas are also flanked by steep ravines, but it seems he has started to get used to practicing in the middle of the forest with his mysterious friend.

Some time has passed, they almost reached their destination. From a distance it has been seen a fairly large building is in the middle of a large bush.

“Finally we made it through the bush forest earlier, just need to break through the bush field next, yosh!” riko looked excited.

“Come, we hurry but don't be too hasty .. This is just a normal trip,” replied the father while rubbing Riko's head.

“Ready!” reply Riko enthusiastically.

Without commenting anything suddenly Rion pulled Riko's arm to get closer to his place.

Riko was confused to face the strange behavior of his half-brother.

“Hey what the hell are you doing? it was strange,” asked Riko who looked a little irritated.

“Never lower your vigilance anywhere and with anyone, danger always comes unexpectedly,” replied Rion with a serious expression without staring at him.

“You're this ... really hard to understand, huft!” sahut Riko sighed.

The father only smiled gently at Rion's always unusual behavior, so he tried to calm his stepson's heart.

“No need to worry so much, everything will be fine, even if something bad happens father will definitely protect you both,” said the father.

Rion was just speechless, although it was a little annoying they continued the journey.

On the way before we get there. Rion suddenly stopped, a little confused as he just fell silent and stared blankly at the sky.

“I feel something is wrong in this place, you guys do not relax too much like that,” said Rion to commemorate the two of them.

“Alright, it seems we need to prepare the equipment immediately,” reply the father with a little ambiguous.

Shortly thereafter, a huge explosion occurred at the base. The two of them instantly nodded and trembled.

“Dad, what was the explosion? why is this happening again?” riko asked in her panic.

“You calm down first, don't worry about me checking it out.. In the meantime you wait here with your sister, she will definitely protect you,” said the father who tried to calm Riko down.

“No! dad don't go there ... If dad leaves I'll come too!” riko shouted increasingly panicked.

“Listen to father's orders! don't be a wayward child .. Stay here, I'll be right back to pick you up, and Rion you keep Riko here yeah, I'll be right back,” firmly the father before going to run to the headquarters earlier.

“Good,” replied Rion briefly.

The stubborn Riko could not be told, he tried hard to reach for her, but in the end could only scream and cry for his father.

“Dad!!”

Rion kept trying to hold Riko back from going to that place, he tried to pull her and drag her as far away from there as possible.

“Hei Rion! why are you dragging me any further, I asked you to wait there ... Dad will be right back to pick us up, but why are you?” riko snapped who did not accept what Rion was doing at this time.

“Hah, you mean he'll pick us up to hell, right? you can be a wayward child but do not be stupid, if you are still waiting in that place we will also die,” said Rion with a sharp gaze.

“No! dad will definitely come back .. we have to wait for him,” denied Riko who remains convinced.

“I tell you .. None of them will live and we must not be part of them, if you are given a chance to live,” reply Rion a little emotional.

“No! dad won't leave me. .. I have to come back soon!” sangkal Riko while thrashing trying to escape from his half-brother.

In their debate, there was a sudden, larger explosion that spread an unnatural mass of energy to the surrounding area.

“You know SANGU exorcist resources is the largest headquarters of exorcist research of all famous founders, if until the headquarters is destroyed, it means there is no life expectancy for those who are there,” clearly Rion before re-grasping tightly Riko's hand.

Rion when serious is not half. He dragged Riko by force to leave and get away from the place. While Riko's powers are still far too weak to be able to fight Rion, he can only rebel without being able to stop her.

Long enough to take him back, they finally made it to the parking lot where their car was parked before. Rion immediately rushed to the car to pick up the phone that was there.

“Rion, how can you?” ask Riko wonder.

“It's backup key, it's not difficult to get it,” reply Rion short.

“Of course I have to contact uncle immediately to get help,” reply Rion who is focusing to find his uncle contact.

After successfully contacting his uncle, he briefly explained their situation and asked for help from several teams for the security process.

When the call ended, Rion was about to put the phone back to where it was. However, it was unexpected that when he weakened his grasp, Riko managed to escape and then ran to the previous route.

Rion only sighed for a moment, he was really tired of Riko's stubbornness, but he couldn't just ignore it either. Therefore, he immediately went to chase Riko back.

In his pursuit, Rion has a little difficulty catching Riko, several times he fails to ambush the boy. In addition to Riko who is quite agile and athletic, the injury experienced is also quite affecting his strength.

****

Far enough they ran into the middle of the forest, unexpectedly Riko slipped while running on the edge of the ravine and he was mired in it. However, the sprightly Rion quickly grabbed Riko's hand before he actually dove into the precipice.

However, their position is not safe. Because when he reached for Riko's hand, his own body also mired into the slope of the ravine, even he had hit the surrounding material. Currently his left hand is holding Riko's hand while his right hand is used to hold on to a tree trunk.

“You! no need to do this .. let go quickly, even if I die .. it is my own fault and you do not have to bear it,” shouted Riko while trying to release Rion's grasp.

“No, we both have to be safe! you be patient ... I will try to climb to the edge, don't worry!” pinta Rion while trying to calm Riko and herself.

“That's impossible, there's only one person who can survive .. If you don't choose one of them then we'll both die, isn't that a waste? you think you can climb with one hand while the other hand holds a very heavy load, that's impossible!” refute Riko who is increasingly upset with her current situation.

“No I will try .. You do not give up first,” reply oppstimis.

“Already, what you need to fight for from people like me .. I think I who already have no one at this time, die is not a problem for me,” replied Riko coldly.

“Aaaaak!” Rion groaned as his spider hand got worse. The wound on his right arm also returned to bleed which was getting worse and worse.

Such a heavy load made it difficult for him to last even longer. Riko really could not stand Rion's attitude anymore, he tried to rebel with all his might so that Rion would let go of his grasp. However, even to the very end Rion still wanted to protect her.

“Pardon my selfishness, but despite being alone .. You have to stay alive, my sister,” Pinta Rion before she puts all her energy into throwing Riko to the brink.

Riko managed to land safely despite having rolled violently on the edge, but he did not think of any pain. He immediately approached the slope of the ravine where Rion was still holding out.

“You ... there's still time, grab my hand! I will pull you up,” Riko orders with a feeling of panic.

“Sorry ... I don't have much energy anymore, you can't do that .. If you do then you and I will really fall down, I don't want that to happen .. at least you can still survive, go to uncle's place after this, he will take good care of you, don't be reckless anymore ya!” rion replied with a faint smile.

“Can't! I can't accept this! I will be haunted by guilt for the rest of my life if something happens, quickly take my hand,” denied Riko who still can not accept Rion's decision.

“I told you not to worry, after this live well and forget all about your grudges, I want you to live even happier,” Rion retorted gently.

“No! hiks .. I can't take it, why am I the only one left alive?” riko protested with heavy emotions in her heart.

“Close for a minute!” rion smiled while smiling.

Riko who still could not say a word, he just tried to hold back his cries and follow what his half-brother asked.

“Hiks, why?” ask Riko briefly.

“You should never again deal with the exorcist world, live like a normal human being and forget all the bad things about our parents, about everything that has happened, your grudges and about me, he said, live happily, goodbye sister .. I will always miss you,” Rion's last message with a sincere smile.

He activated a seal that looked quite strange and unusual, then used the remaining bit of energy to complete the seal he placed on his finger with a scratch of his blood.

For the last step he also tried to reach Riko and touch his forehead with a finger at the seal point earlier.

“After this forget everything!”

It was the last word he heard in his ear with a deeply shattered feeling, slowly the memories faded away.

“No! Riooooonn ..”.

FLASHBACK ENDS.
