The Main Course Of The Battle
[UNREVISION] PART 11: CLUE
“Don't forget the precious thing. Yuuri-san, someone else needs you. Someone more important to you.”
“Then... What are you gonna do to Seeji?”
“For the time being, I'll lock him up. I can't let Hoseki's powers wander. This is our secret.”
“Why.... why don't you accompany him as his father?”
“Dragon yourself, Yuuri - san. Thank you"
-----------
“Kagiri just left. And forbid me to come back to see you."
"So... Seeji has... three gems...?"
Takai was in disbelief, even with a single jewel his strength was incredible.
"Just by touching it.. It makes me very surprised, let alone you who have it.. It makes me very worried..”.
“Hoseki it arrived - arrived out... when I was asleep... it turns out that indeed when my consciousness decreased my hose could increase.”.
“Hei!! Seeji.....! You don't feel surprised by what your mother experienced...? Also..” Takai asks Seeji but Seeji cuts him off.
“So... so. it turns out I was wrong.”.
“Seji.”
'The heart will always be connected'
'That sentence is familiar to me from others. But I still did not understand even though Yuuri told me everything about my parents....
Especially dad. I don't get it. But, Yuuri wasn't trying to leave me.'
“I thought you were leaving suddenly because you were as afraid of my power as anyone else. That's where I started not trusting anyone."
"Seehi. forgive me..."
"It turns out I was wrong."
"Eh?"
"Thank you for taking care of me for those 7 years. I understand all those old memories are not lies. I don't know what would happen if my mom didn't have a friend as good as you.”
“Seji.”
“To be honest, I didn't know what to do after hearing that my mother was killed by Hoseki. Do I have to be sad or do I not know... I never knew before. What happened to my mother, was indeed shocking.”
Seeji pulled out his hoseky book. Yuuri was surprised when he smelled the scent of the old-looking book.
“Seeji... aroma of the book... similar to your father's handkerchief...”.
“You still remember it? Yuuri - san?”
“A distinctive but very soothing aroma.”.
“When I touched it, my power crashed into this book. When I saw the contents, there were some details about my hoseki. All of that must be because of the leaf powder that sticks to this book.”
“Seeji..”.
“My mom helped me control Hoseki, through this book. Although the writing written by the light was confusing, I suddenly found something in the back of the book."
Seeji rubbed his book. And open the back sheet.
"I guess... It's my mom's writing”
‘Sometimes we have to believe the impossible ~^O^~’
Seeji smiled bitterly.
Looking at Seeji, Yuuri felt sad.she almost cried. Takai who saw it was surprised.
“Yuuri...san?”.
“I'm happy.. Even though you've been locked up for a long time in your room, you can still develop well.... Rin, even though I won, but your daughter is great..”.
“Yuuri - san, don't cry"
“But my daughter is...”.
“Your daughter?”
“Ah...no, it's okay...”.
“Yuuri - san..?”
“My daughter....Yuki's. She disappeared.”
“Disappeared?”
Seeji suddenly remembered Reeji, his whereabouts are still unknown.
“Yes, I do not know.. previously nothing happened.. but he suddenly acted strange until finally he did not come home.” Yuuri gives Yuki's photo to Seeji and Takai.
“Seeji, this child feels familiar..”.
“Hmmh. It seems I've seen it.. but where..”.
“Yuki has the ability to see other realms since she was a child. Does he have a problem with that..”.
“Seeing other nature?”
“Yes, he can..see ghosts..”.
“H-ghost!!?” Takai was surprised to hear that
“What's wrong with ghosts?”
“Ah.... no... i.. just shocked...”.
“Sometimes he can also communicate with them..”.
“Enough...creep..yes right?”.
“Is that the cause of black hoseki.”.
“Hoseki black? Has Seji been looking for that all this time?”
“Ya..what's up with it?”
“In legend, the bad guy who took over the island had a black hoseki. And if I'm not mistaken, they're looking for something that will improve them...."
"It's hate."
"Seeji, Takai, 'Something black can ruin everything beautiful in it. If not in the right place...' That's an old word that parents always say. Just like the legend."
“Already suspected, it turns out this island is indeed mysterious. Takai, we have to find out..”
Seeji was about to leave. Takai prevented her by holding her hand.
“Take!”
“Yuuri - san, what about Seeji's father? Where's he going now? There must be a reason she was treated that way..!”
“Sorry Takai, I don't know about that.”
Seeji looked at Yuuri's eyes which seemed to be hiding something.
“Yuuri - san..”
“But my son, he..”
From the direction of the door, someone came in warrior clothes.
“Mother, I'm leaving.”
“Rou, you have to go again?”
“I just want to make sure...”.
Rou who was wearing rectangular and clear glasses realized there was someone in front of her mother, Seeji and Takai.
“Mother, who are they?”
“Oh, do you remember the daughter that I took care of? He's there, his name is Seeji.”
Yuuri introduces Seeji to Rou. Seeji just nodded his head.
“Seeji Utsuki, right? You must know about me from my mom.”
“Greetings.”
“Dan..kau?”
His eyes were staring sinisterly at Takai next to Seeji.
“I...Takai akari.”.
Without a response, Rou headed straight for the exit in front of her.
‘What - what is this guy? Shitty!’
“I pamit.”
Rou then left them. Takai was still snorting due to the Spirit's more indifferent attitude than Seeji.
"Sorry, Seeji, he got a job at the royal castle. But suddenly he was expelled.Maybe Rou still think about it..."
“Yuuri - san, Can I save this photo?”
----------
“Hah.... At first we went to Yuuri-san to say that we can't pay for the inn, right? But we even got information..”.
Seeji walked ahead of Takai without caring about it.
“Takai. Stop meddling in my affairs”
“Cut mix?”
“I just found out about hoseki. Why are you asking about my parents??”
“I'm just figuring out what happened! Who knows.he can give us a clue instead.... Is that wrong?”
“You interfere in my personal affairs, there is no point for you to do that.”
“Seeji, we're trying to find the truth here.... Have three hoseki?”
Seeji lowered his head and put his hand in the pocket of the black suit.
"From the beginning, Hoseki was looking for an owner who matched his strength. As the black hoseki enters the body of people with hateful hearts, the colored hoseki enter the body of the chosen one to use it."
"That is why Hoseki is upon us..."
"But it's a pity? Hoseki took the lives of innocent people. My mother was very poor, had to meet her end because of the uncontrollable hoseki."
"Look! Why are you saying that?!"
"I still don't know him. At least I'm more relieved that there are people who want me to stay alive."
Takai. He even lost his father and now has to leave his mother. The red hoseki.
“What I know, right now I only have two hoseki. Maybe that's why he locked me up. She's also scared of me.”
“I'm sure your father must have a clear reason for locking you up..”.
“If the person who imprisoned me was my real father, wouldn't that be too cruel?”
“Prison?”
Seeji turned around looking at Takai. Her view was like saying ‘You don't need to know.’ made Takai speechless.
'If he knows any further... about my past...’.
Seeji thought in his mind. Then remembered a sentence that always made him turn his face to forget it.
'You want to be a target? Or looking for a target?'
'Everything has passed...'
“Last time let's stay behind. You said we can't look both ways at once, right?”
“What do you mean... did I ever say that?”
’Maybe it's good that he forgot the incident on that day.’
Seeji walked ahead of him again.
“Seeji... Did I forget something?”
A SYUUUSH!
A strong wind suddenly blew, the photo of Yuli held by Seeji arrived - suddenly loose and carried away by the wind.
“Take! Photo!!”
“EEh?! Wind brought his picture?!”
Takai then ran and tried to take it. He was stopped when the photo got stuck on top of a city park tree.
"Why get stuck in there...?"
“I'll take!”
Takai skillfully climbed from branch to branch and grabbed his photo.
MEOW!!
Suddenly a black cat passed in front of them. Seeji was instantly fascinated with those round, adorable cat eyes.
“I-Imut really..!”
“Seeji! Help me! Don't play cat at a time like this...O-oi!”
“Are you lost? Wow... Your fur is very smooth..”.
Seeji stroked the cat, and the black cat stroked - the elus of Seeji's hand that approached him. Takai ignored.
“Oi!! Seeji!”
The cat climbed a tree and approached Takai.
‘Ehm.
“EEh?”
The cat suddenly growled and showed its fangs.
“EEh!? This cat fighting yak?!”
Without a shake - shake the cat clawed his nose until Takai lost balance.
“Aaww! Pain tau!!”
BRRUCK.
Takai fell down from the tree while holding his back. Photos also of some fruits on the apple tree that fell.
“Ad..duh..”
“Hm." Seeji picked up the falling apples without worrying about Takai.
“Not helped eating apples!”
Takai then took a picture of her and looked at her while cleaning the leaves from her head and clothes.
“He right..”
'Thank you. uncle...'
“Oh! Seeji! He's the kid we met on the way to the east hill!”
“What? Really..?”
"Yes... is not wrong anymore. I remember with the boy's rather strange gaze... same rich brother.”.
“Ability to see other realms... what do not - do black hoseki exist in this child?”
“It's impossible! It's too small!”
“True also... I once said right, if the owner of black hoseki age can be equivalent or older than me.”
“Then... what is the cause?”
“Maybe we can get a clue by looking for this kid. “
“You sure?”
“Entah why do I feel that he has a black hoseki.... This child is still of school age is not it?”
A kite that fell was taken by the children who were playing near them. They then approached Takai.
“Mr! Thank you for dropping the kite! We had trouble taking it since.”
‘Mr?! Even worse than uncle's call yesterday!’
Takai immediately silent petrified because of the plain speech of the children.
“That's view... That's yours, huh? Good Takai. You helped these kids.”
Takai was shocked because he was twice called 'old' by the children he had just met.
“You guys, do you guys know this kid?”
“it... Obake - chan right?”
“Obake?”
“We called him that because he always said seeing ghosts!!”
"What?"
“So... have you ever seen it?” Seeji asked them again.
"Me! I saw him coming to school at night! I don't know what she wants because she's been told to come home by my mom!"
"Where is the school?"
“The school is in an initial level general knowledge academy named Riisson!”
"Rison...? Ah.. You mean probably Reason, right? I knew! That was my school!"
“It means we know where it is, all right. Thank you for the information, this is a gift for you.”
Seeji then throws each apple at them.
"Why did they say uncle or even father to me...? I'm not that old...."
"You look like an unemployed person."
"What?! But they said onee was the same to you, right? How old are you?
“I? I guess... nineteen.”.
“Nineteen? I didn't know you were younger than me!”
“How much are you?”
“Twenty... ahead of two one.... okay?”
“Oh."
"Just 'oh?!"
"But it's a pity that I don't intend to call you Big Brother. Takai.”
“Then I can call you Little sister!” Takai closed Seeji's eyes with his hat
“Hei! What are you doing!”
Takai laughed, trying to play Seeji.
“So, you know where the school is?”
“The school is west of the city."
"We'll get a lead if we get there. Come.”
“What?! Seeji! You want to go to an empty school in the twilight?”
“No problem right?”
“Seeji! Something called ‘hantu’ it used to come at a time like this...”.
"Actually I wanted to ask you earlier, what is a ghost?"
Takai who had been nagging and refused Seeji's invitation immediately shut up.
"What's? Don't tell me you don't know...?"
"I've only read it."
"Well.it..."
“Hmm..you're scared ?”
“What? Scared?? Of course not! I'm just worried..”
“Then come on."
Seeji again - again left him.
“Seeji! Wait!”
“All of you we find out about Yuki from people around. They could've seen Yuki”
“Basic you in...”
ZETS
“!!”
Takai immediately turned around, feeling that something was moving following them.
“What's Takai?”
“No.. come”
They then walked towards the direction of Yuki's school while asking the people around if they saw Yuki. But not many knew about it and just shook his head.
“Hah... dark start day..”.
“Last - end of this many cases of missing people at dusk like this, they say so."
“But they don't know Yuki, even though Yuki disappeared..... Hhah..I did not expect to be troublesome looking for a child like him! Eeeh? we have arrived!”
“Until?”
They were in front of the school. The school looks so haunted because of the night atmosphere. Takai doesn't even know her anymore.
“Te...What place is....?”
“This... the school right? You mean Reason's academy? I've never been to school before.”.
“WHAT? But... You don't look stupid at all.!”.
"Who's stupid, huh??!!"
"Baahh!! Yes yes! Seeji..."
“I studied with Yuuri san until she didn't take care of me anymore. Next I learn and read by myself.”
Takai thought about Seeji's past that Yuuri told him about earlier
‘Seeji... she must have had a hard time...’ Takai unconsciously watched Seeji again.
“What do you see?”
“Aaahh.... Oh yea! Se...Seeji! Maybe we should come back tomorrow morning.”.
Takai looks for an excuse and intends to run away, but Seeji holds Takai's neck collar before leaving.
“No, we've come this far. Come”
Takai was eventually forced in. They then broke through a two-meter-high iron fence that was not guarded at all.
“Any, there are no school guards here. This school still works, right?”
“School guard?”
“Yes, usually school guards always keep for 12 hours at night. It's weird..”.
“Maybe..”.
“It's possible, he was captured by that shadow prisoner...”.
"Huh? Shadow prisoner?"
"There is a blight that says that this school used to be a prison. and the spirits who are not calm still swayed when there is no one in the school as it is today....."
“Bodo ah's. It's just a prank.”
“But, anything can happen right?!”
"Who?!"
SRIYING!
Seeji felt something like coming. He made the dimension as quickly as possible.
“Take! Heart - heart!”
“!!”
Nothing's coming
“Anneh... whereas I felt something..”.
“Seeji! Don't scare me!”
“Oh.. so you're scared huh?”
“No! I'm not scared!”
“Hmm...really.?”.
“No! I said I'm not scared! If you don't believe me, I'll go in first!”
“Please, just enter.”
BRAAK!
With his feet Takai kicked at the entrance of the main building and entered without hesitation. Even though he was still afraid.
“Emotional basis. “
“Hah?”
“You slammed the door. Fortunately the glass did not break.”
“Already, let's look further!!”
“We only see. No need to be very ambitious.”
The night has come. They passed through the hallways of the school and observed every class. They are currently on the second floor.
“Nothing here.”
Seeji was silent looking at the classroom.
“Seeji?”
“Meja... and chair... also whiteboard.. So this kind of classroom is? Where they studied together..”.
Seeji stroked the long wooden table slowly, there was writing there
‘School is so much fun!’
“Is that?”
“Hah... school at night is different.... Seeji, do you have another flashlight?”
“No, I only have one.”
“It is difficult to find clues in such a dark state. We turn on the light switch, it's okay - what is it?”
Takai looked for the light switch and turned it on. But nothing happened, the atmosphere remained dark.
“EEh?”
“The electricity is definitely off.”
“Hhah... I've guessed..”.
“Hold this.”
Seeji gave Takai his flashlight and took out a small convex-shaped glass.
“It...what?”
“Mirror. I got it from Yuuri - san earlier.” Seeji poured his power on the mirror so that it shone like a flashlight.
“Wah...it can be like that too..”.
“But this is quite draining. You're the one wearing it.” Seeji gave his mirror to Takai.
“If the light starts to dim, channel your power into that mirror.”
“What is durable?”
“About 15 minutes”
Takai gives Seeji a flashlight and Seeji directs it at a corner of the class. There's a skull lying there.
“Wuaahh!!”
“Seeji!”
Seeji fell in shock. It turned out that it was just an artificial skull.
“Agnet us.”
“Ahh... Now you're scared huh?”
“You are wrong.”
KRIIIEETT!
Suddenly in silence they heard the door open.
“What is it?”
“Maybe... just wind.”.
“Takai, let's split, we can search all night if it continues this way.”
“Discope?”
“Check if there is anyone in each room. You go down, and I go up”
Seeji ran away from Takai.
“Basic...he decided at will...”.
They then split up, and Seeji suddenly felt a black hoseki on the top floor.
PIKKS!
“There you are apparently!”
Meanwhile, Takai searched for the origin of the sound of the door earlier.
"No - who's who... "
TEEE!!
Someone is holding his shoulder suddenly. Takai was surprised, it turned out that that person was his older brother Yuki.
“Bikin is in shock! I thought who... it was you, Rou”.
“What are you doing here?”
“Me and Seeji are looking for your sister.”
“What are you doing that for?”
“Mau know aja..”
“Surely has to do with...”.
SRIYING!
The mirror that Takai was holding was shining brighter.
“Surely something happened!”
Takai ran towards Seeji's place. Rou followed behind him.
“I understand! It turns out you've been following us since, haven't you?”
“You're looking for my sister right?!”
“Don't follow me! This is not something that ordinary people can see..”.
Takai realizes he has passed through Seeji's dimension, and Rou enters it.
“What?! Can you enter the dimension? Are you a black hoseki in disguise?! Don't think you can fool me!”
“What are you talking about?”
“AAAAAAHH!!”
Their conversation came to a halt when they heard the voice of Seeji's cry.
“Seeji!”
“Takai..long time no see..”.
“You..”.
“Can't remember? I threw you away that time..."
"Who...? Don't - don't... you're Kuroseki..”.
Kuroseki laughed again inside his black robe. Takai felt annoyed and wanted to hit him who was five meters away from him.
“It looks like you're not the one to talk to.... Seeji must be in danger because of you, right?!”
“How yes ..”
Kurosaki looked up.
SRIYING!
Suddenly the sky - the sky and the floor of the school hall moved - motion after the blue light shone.
“Wait! What is this?!”
The room around them widened and changed color.
“Welcome to the scary labyrinth.”.
