Shiro: The Secret Hero
149. Uncovered

Hearing Ume ask a question about Shiro's identity, the Association Chairman did not know to say anything.

The Association chairman fell silent.

"Please answer my question, Chairman."

This time, Ume was a bit too chuckley to ask, her tone slightly increased.

"You know the Chief, based on your conversation earlier, all I know, is that Shiro is excitedly familiar with Brendy and Denshu. Besides, you called the man Zero, the word 'Zero' could be heard as 'Shiro'. So Chief, that man is Shiro, right?" ask Ume.

The sentence after sentence that Ume blurted out made the Association Chief smile bitterly. Even Anastasya is trying to win Ume.

"Why don't you just ask the guy directly?" advice of Association Chair.

They immediately turned their eyes to where Shiro was. But there, they saw no one. Shiro was not found.

"Curtain, you coward. I should have realized it from the beginning. The sword he had was a Soul Weapon, no one could imitate him. Moreover, his aura felt very familiar. Stupid Ume, why don't you realize it?" Ume is constantly trying to fool herself.

"Ume, calm down!" anastasya.

Hearing Anastasya's persuasion, Ume slowly calmed down. But he was still waiting for a confirmation answer from the Association Chairman.

The Association leader could do nothing. Shiro had already escaped, he could only speak juju to Ume.

"You're right, Zero is Shiro."

Bum~ Ume's guess was right, her mind suddenly stagnated, like it was struck by lightning. Then suddenly Tears came down Ume's cheek.

Seeing the crying Ume, the Association Chief felt guilty. No, rather he felt the guilty Shirolah, who bestowed everything on him. Shiro should have told her the truth, not her.

"Ta... But why is everything still a secret?Chief, can you tell me what really happened?" ask Ume with a wistful.

"Huh~ But promise won't tell anyone huh?"

Ume nodded, he complied with the request of the Association Chairman.

"Actually Shiro was innocent during the trial that day, it was a plan he made."

"But why?" ask Ume.

"Because what He's up against is a big secret involving a pretty big family. If he got away with it, he would be chased by relatives or people close to the Yuki Family at that time. Then, if it happens..."

The chairman of the Association began to explain about Shiro's plan and what happened back then. Ume could only quietly listen to the story carefully, occasionally he was surprised by what the Association Chairman told him about Shiro.

The chairman of the Association also said that he was also quite interested in Shiro's abilities, so that Shiro would be safe under the auspices of the Hero Association.

It was proven until now, where he can still live a healthy and well-developed life. The chairman of the Association also informed him that Shiro was very strong and shrewd in reconnaissance. Every piece of information he carries is always true.

The chairman of the Association ends the story by saying that Shiro decided to live alone and adventure around the world to complete all the unknown gates that exist in the vast universe.

Hearing all the explanations of the Association Chief, Ume fell silent. He tried to digest all the information he received.

"But. but..."

Ume tried to refute, but no reason could come out of her mouth.

"Ume, you're Shiro's friend, right?" ask the Association Chairman.

Hearing the question from the Association Chief, Ume nodded.

"You see, just trust Shiro. You have to understand him."

Hearing the words of the Association Chairman, Ume fell silent unable to say anything. He did not know Shiro's condition before so he instead seemed to look very selfish for asking arbitrarily.

"Eh..." Ume was surprised to hear that. He was confused how to answer.

"Look, from childhood I have an innate talent from birth. Recognizing the Aura of a person. I could feel one's inner emotions and identity from the Aura it emitted."

"Oh..." Hearing Ume's explanation, the Chairman of the Association became quite interested. "Then, how do you recognize Aura Shiro?"

"The aura is very strange."

"Any? What's so weird?" ask the Association Chairman.

Ume was silent for a while, before she continued her explanation. "The aura that Shiro has is strange and mixed. When I first met her, I felt a lot of emotion from inside her."

"What emotions do you feel for her?"

"The aura feels soft, warm, I can feel the kindness, affection and care of the aura. I can also feel the great responsibility it carries. But..."

Ume.

"However? What's up, Ume? Is there something wrong with him?" ask Anastasya beside Ume. He was also quite curious about Shiro.

"There is an excessive sense of loneliness, sorrow, regret, and disappointment in yourself. It was as if he was regretting something and trying to escape from it. But he can never go far."

Everyone was silent listening to Ume's description. The Chairman of the Association also recalled Shiro's words that He did not want to live on the run anymore.

But, he was quite interested in Ume's abilities. It seemed like he was suitable to seek the identity of the Demon Race.

"Ume, will you be my assistant too?" bargain the Association Chairman directly.

Hearing the offer, Ume fell silent. Then he hugged his chest, "Basar old pervert."

Ume then left from there, leaving the Chairman of the Association still full of question marks.

"Anastasya, do I look like a pervert?"

Hearing the Association Chief's question, Anastasya nodded in agreement.

Seeing Anastasya nod, the Association Chief became annoyed. He then turned off his video call communication device.

...****************...

After guessing the direction of the conversation Ume and the Association Chairman. Shiro silently removed his presence and body using Stealth. He also went quietly from there.

He did not expect that his curiosity would even open his own secret.

Shiro also knows that secrets cannot be kept forever. There will be times when you will be found out too.

But Shiro is not ready to tell anyone about his identity. So he chose to go from there. He blamed his negligence.

Shiro also knew, the Association Leader would definitely tell Ume about his secret. When that happened, Shiro did not have the courage to look at Ume.

"Unseen, did I misrepresent everything?" ask Shiro.

But Unseen also did not know, He felt that Shiro's actions had a point as well. But the current situation is wrong.

"Jude, let's continue the journey. All the information we need, we've got."

Shiro's goal had been achieved, then he continued on his way quickly. He was not on his previous departure path. He's looking for another path. Ume's afraid he'll catch up.

Shiro looked back.

"It looks like we won't be back in a short time."
