Wrong and Descending

"T-Thank you, Mr. Owl!"

Hearing Thomas's words, Adam nodded lightly.

"Then let's talk about Kevin."

"What's up with Kevin, Mr Owl?"

Thomas looked anxious when his son's name was mentioned. He looked depressed and dazed.

"The game starts tonight."

"the game? Don't tell me"

"One of the children and his guardian will be a victim."

"Then we have to"

"Calm down, Mr. Thomas .. keep calm."

"But-"

"The game starts tonight. Probably after midnight. It's still fine now. You don't have to worry too much."

Hearing Adam's words made Thomas calmer.

"Now all you need is to call home. Let the helpers and gardeners return to their homes.

If not, have them stay at the hotel tonight."

"Why?" thomas asked with a puzzled expression.

"Preventing something bad from accidentally happening to them. You and your wife can also stay at the hotel.

If not .. you can bring Kevin here. Let your son stay at this place tonight."

"NO!" thomas shouted with a panicked expression.

"En?"

Adam raised his eyebrows, feeling somewhat confused. The young man felt that Thomas seemed to be becoming less stable and almost insane.

"Whatever happens, I want to accompany Kevin to the end! My wife and I should be by his side!"

"If you insist, I will not refuse. However, the clerk in your house should be put away for tonight! This is not a request ... but an order from the Department of Mysteries!"

"It's okay ..it's okay at all."

Hearing Adam's cold voice, Thomas continued to nod like a woodpecker.

At that moment, the figure of Carole came to bring them two cups of hot tea that was still steaming.

"Please, tea ..."

"Thank you, Miss Carole." Adam nodded lightly. "Drink, Mr. Thomas."

"I don't want to drink, I-"

"Drink!" adam said coldly.

Fearing Adam, the man ended up drinking tea. After finishing one cup of tea, his expression looked somewhat relieved.

"Close your eyes."

Hearing Adam's words, Thomas completely closed his eyes.

"Quiet ... breathe in the air deeply and let out slowly. Relax... Everything will be fine.

Relax ..."

Adam said softly while using Suzaku's Cry skill. Thomas' originally stiff expression became more relaxed. A few moments later, the man finally fell asleep.

Seeing Thomas actually sleeping, Adam got up from his chair and went back to his room. But as he passed the kitchen, he was stopped by James.

"You still know how to hypnotize, Mr Owl?"

"That's hypnosis at all." Adam disagreed with James. "I'm just giving you a suggestion. Mr. Thomas is basically tired physically and mentally. Triggered with a soothing warm drink and gentle sayings. Even if I don't do it."

"really?"

"Why am I lying? I have nothing to gain if I lie to you."

But I'll lose if I talk about one of my trump cards to you.

Adam said that in his heart. Seeing James who was somewhat dazed as if he was imagining something, the young man decided to leave. He went back to his room to rest for a while.

He won't sleep later. Adam decided to rest first.

Closing his eyes, Adam muttered.

"I hope this matter is over soon ..."

***

In the afternoon.

Adam who had woken up was ready. He then went to the lounge to wake Thomas up.

"Wake up, Mr. Thomas."

Adam said as he lightly patted Thomas on the shoulder. The man who was sleeping while sitting down immediately opened his eyes. Rubbing his eyes, Thomas looked somewhat dazed.

After a few seconds, he suddenly stood up with a panicked expression on his face.

"What time is it now? What day? How about Kevin?"

"Quiet, Mr. Thomas." Adam once again patted the man on the shoulder. "It's still 15:30 and it's still the same day. Go to the bathroom to wash your face. We go to your house at 16:00 without delay."

Hearing Adam's words, Thomas once again became relieved. He also looked fresher and not too depressed. Obviously, three days of sleep deprivation put him under severe mental stress.

"Good."

Half an hour later.

Adam sat in the co-pilot's seat glancing at Thomas driving. Seeing how the man looked better, Adam also felt quite relieved.

As a member of the new department, Adam didn't want 'clients' to go crazy or anything like that. Not only would it harm the Department of Mysteries, but its good name would also be damaged because of it.

So in addition to addressing the source of the problem, Adam's job is also to make sure people who are in contact with the problem are okay. Yes ... except the person involved in the case, but not the part.

Take Kevin's friend and the boy's mother for example. Although it was actually related to the case he was taking care of, since they were outside of his job, nor were they reporting, Adam and the Department of Mysteries were not to blame.

After some driving time, they finally reached their destination.

Entering the house, Adam saw that the atmosphere of Thomas' house became gloomy when he had just left it in three days.

“Welcome home.”

Thomas' wife walked down the stairs from the second floor with her son Kevin. Other than them, it seemed that the house had become deserted. Obviously the workers have chosen to according to leave the house for tonight.

After all, not many people would be willing to sacrifice their own lives. Let alone sacrificing, risking it .. not many dare.

“Uncle Owl!”

In contrast to Thomas's wife who glanced at Adam coldly, after coming down the stairs, Kevin immediately ran towards the white masked young man.

“Nothing happened while I was gone, did you, Kevin?”

“Nothing.” Kevin kept shaking his head. “But Dad looked worried. After all, we really do not know how to beat ‘Dia’ in the game.”

Before Kevin got in front of Adam, a black shadow passed by him then crashed into the figure of the masked young man.

The black shadow was none other than Kevin's mother. He directly beat Adam's chest with an angry and depressed expression.

“This must be your fault! You must have used magic to fool Thomas and Kevin! What are you doing to our family!”

“Stop, Linda!” thomas exclaimed with an angry expression.

As Thomas was about to pull and slap the woman, Adam's calm voice sounded.

“No problem, Mr. Thomas. Let your wife vent her emotions. After all, such astral things do not seem real. Let it go.”

“But-”

“It's okay. He's just confused.”

Linda continued to shout and beat Adam's body with a depressed expression. From the looks of it, it seemed that the woman was just as depressed as Thomas. It was also what made Adam let the woman behave as she pleased.

The beating of Linda, a housewife who did nothing but take care of her child did not make Adam feel any pain at all. To him, it was just a rather harsh massage, nothing more.

Maybe this is what happened because he couldn't let go of his stress, right? So let it go.

Adam thought as he looked at the distressed Linda. Sighing inwardly, he shook his head lightly.

Yep. He is very good because he can hold back for 2 years, maybe more. Just let him vent it on me.

After thinking that, Adam blinked with a strange expression.

Errr ... does that seem to sound wrong and off the mark? I mean ... vent his emotions and his anger.

Brushing aside the strange thing that suddenly flashed through his mind, Adam assured his somewhat shaky and twisted heart.
