The Heir of the Sea
French - Rico 5

"Let's go in" Rico said, letting Ethan into a simple house at the end of town.

"Oh okay"

Ethan stepped inside while looking around. The house looks amazing and unattractive.

But as soon as Ethan walks in he feels something uncomfortable. It was as if there was a great energy within the house that was revolting.

Ethan thinks what this is called stealing the aura and energy of other powerful beings. Forced creatures give their energy unwillingly or even steal their ability to leave negative things.

Ethan just kept quiet and tried to hold back. Stay a little while longer so Baruna will finish all her business first.

"You wait here for a moment" said Rico and walked into a room that appeared to be tightly locked.

Rico opened the room with the key he always carried with him everywhere and went straight into the room.

Ethan is not used to seeing what the room is about because Rico closes it as soon as he arrives inside.

After that Rico looked out with a large and heavy wooden box. He put the wooden box on the table.

"Let me see what suits you" Rico said as he opened the wooden box.

As soon as the box opened, Ethan could feel something strange sticking out of it. It felt like Ethan was vomiting because the energy of the box was so strong.

"This seems to fit. For a moment. This one's. It's a tiger's whiskers and tiger fangs. This is not just any object" Rico said, bringing two white cloth-clad objects in front of Ethan.

"Moustache and tiger fangs?" Ethan asked with a puzzled expression.

"Yes. Tiger moustache and fangs. Not an ordinary tiger. The holy tiger. I've earned. This is a very powerful object in protecting itself from enemy attacks" Rico said.

"Is that good?" Ethan did not believe it.

"certain. The things inside this box are all important and good. Don't doubt anything" said Rico, who tried to convince Ethan that he had great abilities.

Suddenly the new Rico phone has a signal that reads. Ethan can see the incoming nickname that Rico is calling Frans.

'Surely he wants help' Ethan's inner.

"Sorry for a minute" Rico said, moving to the window and picking up the phone.

"Hello"

"..."

"Gosh you're sloppy. It's your own fault"

"..."

"..."

"I'm busy"

Ethan couldn't hear what Frans said. Only the answer from Rico was like a bitch and did not care about Frans' problem.

Ethan saw a beautiful white pearl shining. Ethan's hand touches that thing by reflex. Ethan immediately saw a memory. A woman is killed at Rico's hands and the pearl is splashed with blood from the woman.

"What was that?" Ethan was surprised.

He immediately acted ordinary when he heard Rico had ended his phone conversation.

"What's wrong? Any issues?" Ethan asked, pretending to care.

"Ah that Frans. He always makes trouble. It's never right what he did. The end is just a hassle for me too. Let it be next time he's not rash and arrogant" Rico told Ethan.

Ethan just stared at Rico in surprise at his statement.

"He always was. Trivial with all the things and ended up making me difficult to solve all the problems. I'm already tired. He should have grown up and taken care of his own problems.

"You're sure it's okay - what?" Ethan asks if Rico doesn't care about Frans.

"Here, calm down. He couldn't blame me either. I know all her secrets." Said Rico casually.

Ethan just nods and saves the thing from Rico.

"Then I go home first. It's almost a little lag night" Ethan said goodbye.

"alright. Don't hesitate to look for me when you need to. I'm ready to help you" said Rico smiling at Ethan.

"Thank you"

Ethan goes straight into the car and puts an object from Rico into a special bag from Baruna.

"If he gives you something, put it in this bag. If it's a bad thing then it will burn by itself without a trace" 

Baruna did give a special bag to Ethan. He's afraid Rico's giving something bad later that could hurt Ethan.

Ethan's car drives to Baruna's apartment. He wanted to tell his girlfriend something.
