Roped Fate
Ch.74: Seeking Directions

Riko who was feeling annoyed immediately returned to her bed and lay on her back like before. When the silence returned, Riko was a little sorry.

‘Huft ... stupid, why did I throw him out, but there are still many things I want to discuss with him, hmm, I myself am also very tired.’

****

The next day, Riko got ready early because he had little business with his chairman. Fuurin and the others also woke up early to just help aunt and Tian clean up the house and so on.

Moments later after breakfast was ready to be served, they all gathered together for breakfast before saying goodbye, Riko and uncle also prepared additional seats for his seniors who lack seating.

****

When all the business was done, they finally began to say goodbye to home and thank the aunt of the family.

“Auntie thanks for today, Tian also ... has helped us a lot with our treatment and also the dishes, after this we let you go home .. see you next time, see you later,” said Fuurin politely.

“No problem, then good-bye .. hope your journey is safe without obstacles, next time you all can stop by again to just visit Riko or Tian, they will definitely be happy,” reply pretty enthusiastic aunt.

“Thank you aunt, then we excuse you .. and Riko, hope you recover quickly so you can re-assemble at school,” Fuurin added as she waved her hand at Riko.

“Let's rest, tomorrow I can come back .. today is enough to rest, then see you tomorrow, you also rest, senior also ...,” said Riko calmly with a slightly cold expression.

Fuurin furrowed her brows feeling a little strange with Riko's reaction, as well as the others, not as usual they just thought maybe Riko was still exhausted. Even so, it was still a natural thing so they simply ignored him and directly left without asking any more.

Fuurin and the other seniors had moved out and left only Andi's senior. Riko again invited Andi in for the benefit of the seal that had been delayed earlier.

“Chairman! we better speed up the process of the protective seal, we only have a day .. There is still much I need to do,” pinta Riko who looks a little serious.

“Ah, alright .. we repeat again, first from your room first after that back to the yard of the house,” reply Andi calm down.

Without further ado they immediately began the activities of the protective seal. It might feel like de ja vu as Tian also observed their activities just like before.

****

Some time passed, finally they finished everything quickly without any debate like they used to do.

“I'm quite impressed, you are calmer than usual .. ahahaha,” Andi's tease to normalize the atmosphere.

“Because I can already remember my purpose, so I don't think I can laze around anymore, I may have been left behind a lot but that does not mean I will just give up, I have to be more serious for it,” reply Riko still with a serious expression.

“I see, then I will also help you,” Andi said with a little friendly smile on her face.

“Today I want to visit somewhere ... will you help me too for that?” ask Riko suddenly.

“Oh, no problem! I will accompany you there,” replied Andi briefly.

“Alright, then let's go now!” riko looked excited.

****

Today they have a lot of busyness, so there is no time to rest. Today Riko plans to visit the place where she previously lived, the home of her biological parents.

He wanted to look for clues that might still be left there, so he slightly wished that the place was still there and stood as firm as before, he also hopes that no new residents will take over his house.

“Chairman, I have many questions after this .. I hope you will answer them honestly,” Riko said with a flat expression.

“Alright, but before that we finish my mission first," said Riko who returned to relax.

About an hour away, they finally reached their destination. Riko and Andi started getting out of the car. From a distance only a thick bush is visible that blocks, so they need to walk again through the place to be able to find the location of the destination.

It did not take long finally they managed to find an old house that now looks worn and filled with wild plants, the building also looks fragile and dusty.

Even so Riko was quite satisfied with his discovery, at least no one took over the house owned by his family.

“Alright, as expected ... no one has dared to touch this house, we can look for clues freely,” said Riko who was quite excited.

“Then we go straight in, do not forget to be vigilant and pay attention to your surroundings, danger can come from any direction, do not be too far away from me,” Andi orders.

“Of course, I've been vigilant from earlier .. come on then!” riko's reply began to move towards the front door.

When it got to the front, Riko remembered, although it was uninhabited, of course, the place was still locked before they left it.

Riko was a little annoyed because it would waste a lot of time, without thinking Riko also exerted his energy to break down the front door with a powerful kick. However, unfortunately he just bounced away, Andi just chuckled at Riko's innocence.

Without commenting, Andi walked to the door to check it out.

“This door is of course locked, but other than that there is spiritual energy still flowing and locking this building, no wonder anyway, they must have protected this place well,” muttered Andi while analyzing the situation around.

“Quite, stupidly I even use ordinary energy to break the door, hmm ...,” muttered Riko with his sour face.

Andi started a locking seal opening formation to free up the energy binding the building. Not so difficult to do he also managed to eliminate the seal without spending a lot of time.

After the seal disappears, then he unlocks the door with his unique needles that can reach various conditions and places, before long the door finally opened.

Riko was a little upset and embarrassed about herself who had always acted impulsively.

Andi called Riko who was still sitting quietly on the ground.

“Hey, are you still sitting there? quickly get here .. need my help?” ask Andi a little prank.

“No, I can stand alone .. Then let's go in,” reply Riko who immediately stood up with an annoyed expression on her face.

****

Riko was quite surprised when he entered the destroyed room, although it was a long time ago but how could an empty house be so ruined, the order was really messy ... Riko was a little worried if he could not find any clues to the state of the place that looked like it was deliberately destroyed.

“No problem, you still remember the layout of this room is not .. we focus on the private room first, ignore this mess, we look for clues more thoroughly, we are looking for directions,” said Andi who realized Riko's daydream earlier.

“Of course I remember, well then we start from my parents' workspace first, let's follow me!” riko shouted with a serious look.

They also began to move looking to the place where Riko was heading at that time.
