Chapter 324: Stuff to do
(Ryoto's pov)
You know what? No day like today, as they say. That's why I decided to visit Zastin today. It's also not so late yet, so I don't want to waste time. I may not remember exactly the way to our office, but there are ways around it. I just need to find a strong signature in the city in the direction where I think our workplace is. Zastin is a Devilukean and is much stronger than an ordinary human and I wouldn't mistake him for Yami either.
As I was about to exit the house, Yoruichi jumped on my head. It seemed that she wanted to tag along.
While going towards the studio, it started jogging my memory a bit, and I started remembering the way more and more, and in no time, I arrived at my destination. I was well aware that Zastin was inside, so I entered without knocking.
Even though Zastin is a... I want to say he is a first-rate warrior, but I feel like he was hit by a train one too many times to have this title. Maybe we can call him a first-rate warrior with a weakness towards trains. His kryptonite, if you will. Hmm... it could work, I suppose.
I nodded my head in agreement with my own idea.
Wait, where was I? Right. Even though Zastin is a first-rate warrior with a weakness to trains, he didn't react to me entering the building. It wasn't because I was hiding my presence or even Zastin's incompetence. I was not releasing a dangerous aura in any form, so Zastin didn't detect me as he was focused on his manuscript.@@@@
I coughed into my fist to get his attention, and Zastin quickly spun around in haste. He squinted his eyes to see better since his vision was worsened by the light from the still-opened door to the entrance, but before he even saw who I was, he went down on one knee.
"Forgive me, Your Highness! I wasn't expecting your visit today!"
I mean, Yoruichi is a bit spoiled, but that is not the point of her being called Your Highness.
Joking aside, it didn't exactly feel unnatural since I'm used to my subordinates bowing like that when they report to me, but Zastin wasn't my subordinate just yet, so I closed the door behind me and spoke up.
"What are you doing, Zastin?"
Hearing my voice, the Devilukean was confused, and he raised his head to take a better look at me. Now that there wasn't a light source blinding him, he recognized me.
"Ryoto-dono!? What!? I swear it was-! But that presence-!"
Zastin seemed to confuse me for Gid for some reason. Maybe it's my aura of a leader that I built up during my career as a Captain, or maybe it's my Byakko's side that gives off this vibe of an emperor. After all, white tigers can symbolize royalty as well.
"Never mind that, Zastin. I have some time, and I don't know how busy I'll be in the near future, so we should get some work done."
"Yes!"
Zastin saluted me, habit, I assume, as he would to his superior. I ignored it, and we started working.
"Ryoto Yuuki, you've become even more dangerous since I last saw you, strangely so. Every part of my body tells me that you are dangerous."
Despite saying that, Yami didn't make any attempts to escape or even defend.
"Hmm~ then why aren't you trying to avoid me?" I asked curiously.
"Because you are my target, and I will not abandon my mission once I accept it. Also, if the princess of Deviluke is attached to you, then you can't be a bad person, even if you are ecchi. I'll still kill you, though."
Or so she said, but I could read her like a book if I wished to. What she said is partially true, and her feelings tell me that she believes what she is saying, but there are more layers. She isn't afraid of me even though she feels how dangerous I am. I don't know how much she feels, but I'm sure she still downplays my danger level.
"Fair enough. Want a lollipop?"
I offered her a lollipop, which she accepted. Do I need to teach her not to take candy from strangers? Maybe I should. When she took the treat from me, her eyes wandered up to the top of my head. Right, I haven't introduced Yoruichi yet. Once again, I took the black beauty from there, much to her dismay, and brought her in front of Yami.
"Yami, this is Yoruichi, my cat and lucky animal. Yoruichi, this is Yami. She is an assassin who was hired to kill me, and as you have heard, she didn't give up just yet, so protect me when the time's come."
I'm sure Yoruichi rolled her eyes, but then she tilted her feline head and bopped Yami on the nose.
Cute.
"Do you want to hold her?"
I asked, and since Yoruichi didn't try to escape my grasp, she allowed it.
Yami didn't take her eyes off my cat and carefully brought her arms out to hold her. Having the animal in her arms, she allowed a smile to creep up on her face. It wasn't a big smile, but on her usually expressionless face, it looked big.
We sat together on a bench in silence as we locked our snacks while Yami petted Yoruchi. Yami was a troubled girl, but I hoped that times like these would make her feel better or at least allow her some time of peace.
