Chapter 43: vs Jugemu

(Ryoto's pov)

I walked around the town together with Jugemu, looking for Ryoto Yuuki. Unfortunately, even after one and half hours of searching, we couldn't find any clues.

Jugemu: "Damn it. Ryoto Yuuki must be one slippery bastard to hide that well."

Ryoto: "Yeah, Jugemu, sorry to say that, but I must return home." Follow current novels at novelhall.comu: "Don't worry, Otouto, I'll manage by myself. Thank you for helping, and be careful on your way home."

Ryoto: "Will do."

I was about to leave, but then I heard a familiar voice.

Risa: "Ryoto?"

Jugemu turned around and became alert, hearing the name of his target.

Jugemu: "Where!?"

Risa: "What are you doing here? I thought you went home, but as you're here, maybe you'll take me swinging as promised."

Jugemu was thinking hard about what was happening, and slowly he started connecting the dots but nearer the truth was the uglier his expression was.

Jugemu: "Otouto... what is the meaning of that. Please tell me it's not what I think it is."

He wanted to believe in me, but before I could even say anything...

Risa: "Earth to Ryoto Yuuki! Don't ignore me now."

She doomed my peace. As soon as he heard my full name, he rushed at me with his twin swords and tried to slash me. I blocked his attack with my arm infused with Haki. He was strong, matching me in strength, in fact, so when it was my arm vs. two of his. Soon he would overpower me, so I used my free hand and shot a web at his eyes, but he didn't even flinch. As that didn't work out, I used web-shooters to draw myself away from him.

Jugemu: "Blinding me won't help you in any way."

He took off his sunglasses, revealing that he didn't have any eyes. Not good. My illusions won't work on him. First, I need to get the battle somewhere else, though.

Ryoto: "Risa, we'll talk later."

I shot my web at his chest, and before he could react and I swung him as hard as I could, sending him flying, and I followed him. Halfway through my swing, he cut off the web and flew in the direction of my neighborhood.

Now that I think about it, where is Lala? I think she should be at home right now.

Ryoto: "Hey Mikan, where's Lala?"

Mikan had a vein on her forehead and had crossed arms.

Mikan: "Is it really the first thing you say after coming home?"

Ryoto: "I'm home...?

Mikan: "Explain."

Ryoto: "There isn't much to explain, really. I met the assassin, he didn't realize I was his target, but he noticed because of someone. We started fighting, and here we are."

Mikan rubbed the bridge of her nose.

Mikan: "Why did it need to happen today of all days."

Mikan turned around and saw Sachie having stars in her eyes and Mami blushing while they were looking at me.

Sachie: "So cool!"

Ryoto: "You must be Mikan's friends. Nice to meet you two. Sorry that you had to witness what happened. I didn't have full control over the situation."

Sachie: "No problem, Onii-San! It was fun to watch!"

After a short talk with the girls, they went home in high spirits. I returned to the living room to talk with Jugemu.

Ryoto: "Now, Jugemu, who paid you to kill me."

Jugemu looked confused.

Jugemu: "No one hired me to kill you."

Huh?
