In a park in Delaria City, a pretty beautiful place with a wide variety of flowers and several gazebos. Shady trees lined the roadside decorated with green grass. There are several food and beverage shops there to fill the stomach of visitors who come, or just to relax.
In the same place, two men of different ages sat opposite in a chocolate shop that was quite famous there. The style of the shop is still quite classic with wooden chairs and tables carved in such a way, attracting visitors who like the classic style.
A 70-year-old grandfather looks pretty busy concocting chocolate drinks ordered by shoppers who stop by his tavern. Although not too many visitors who come, but on holidays, this place is always crowded. He said it was because the drinks were good.
Riz had told Himaki everything he knew, leaving the man speechless in disbelief at what the sky-blue man before him had said. His brain was still trying to process all the information he was getting at the moment.
The man's hands clenched firmly even making the book in his hands clearly visible.
His goal of becoming a hitman was to kill people like them who could only utilize others for his personal interests. All this time he only accepted the job of killing criminals or something. But now he is misplaced by joining a mafia organization that is conducting crazy experiments on humans.
Now he understood what Ice and Revan meant. Yes, it is true. He was too deep into the darkness. He had to get out before something worse happened.
But it is suspicious if he arrives out. And again waiting for him this time is the chairman of the biggest mafia in Delaria City. Getting rid of it will be just as easy as cleaning the dust that sticks on the table.
"But with you being a member of the Dark Devil, it makes it easier for us to destroy their plans." Riz paused his speech. He noticed Himaki who was not even moving from his position. "I need help from insiders to find information. Your status as a member will be advantageous, right?"
Himaki was still silent. Even so Riz knew clearly the man was listening. Silence shrouded after the last sentence that Riz spoke. Himaki is still loyal to his silence and Riz himself coolly enjoys his ordered chocolate drink while playing games on his mobile phone.
A sigh sounded from the owner of the silver bead. I don't know how many times he breathed today. He made the wrong decision to join.
Himaki looked at Riz who was still cool with his own world. "I want to, but where do we start?"
A smile formed on the young man's lips. "Data manipulation. We steal and manipulate their data."
"I think I can do it."
"While I'm going to look for outside information."
Himaki nodded. But, there was one question that still occurred in his head.
"Well, by the way, do you know where the red-eyed young man went?"
Riz shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know. I thought it was at Dark Devil's headquarters."
"No. If there was I wouldn't have asked you."
Also true. He also doesn't see Revan in Shadow agents. So where did the boy go?
Both of them were silent in their minds, without realizing there was a young man listening to their conversation from earlier. He wore a black hoodie jacket, and a mask that covered his nose and mouth.

The rough breath was given by the gold-manik youth who was in class at the time. His eyes looked out the classroom window, ignoring the commotion that was happening in his class.
Himself pissed. In her mind, again Riz ditching. What's with the kid actually? Is he really tired of school?
Raile dodged his face behind the folds of his hand. Trying to get rid of the dizziness running through his head. The memory of last night's dream still kept spinning in his head.
It was no ordinary dream. If it was just a dream, then how was the rose there? But.. Who was that boy with her at the time? He felt familiar with the boy. But even though trying to remember it, not the memory that was obtained, but the pain that appeared in his head. What's up with him?
"Hi Raile, are you okay?"
Raile raised his head when he heard the voice of someone familiar enough to him. In his presence, a young man of his age with emerald green irises stared at him with his big eyes, making the young man look adorable.
"I'm fine Thory, I'm just a little dizzy." Reply Raile who now rests his head on the table.
Thori walked over and now sat on the bench that was in front of Raile's desk. "Do you want to take me to the UKS?"
Raile only shook his head in response.
Really, he's fine now. Even if it doesn't look like that...
Thory slightly hummed while leaning her body against the wall behind her. "Hey, you know, sometimes there are tablets... Unexpected things can happen." Thory paused her speech and looked at her friend who was still speechless. He then continued his words. "For example, feeling lost when the person you're looking for has been around you all along."
Raile raised his head looking at the young man. Try a little to find the answer to his word just now. " you mean?"
Thory smiled and got up from her seat. Walk to the back of Raile and then turn around. "try to think. Isn't that how you feel Raile? I've been watching you for a long time. There's an empty part of your life that should be filled with something, right?"
Raile. What Thory said has a point. But what was missing from his life? What does emptiness mean?
"I know, but I don't know what it is."
"Maybe something or someone is missing from your memory." Thory's casual speech made Raile quite snapped. He looked back, but the emerald young man had already left.
There is a point in his friend's words. From the beginning he also felt like he was attached to someone. But the question is, who?
"ah! What exactly did I miss?! " Chanted Raile did not care about his classmates who stared in wonder at him. Himself pissed. His head started to throb pain. What did he forget?
