A few hours later, Sky"s sitting on a sofa in the living room, looking anxiously at his phone, there is a laptop of the table, showing the population distribution of different areas. He looks a bit pale, his right hand is covered with b.l.o.o.d.y bandages.Suddenly, he heard the lock of the main door been opened followed by a very familiar voice said: "I"m back." "Chris? Wait! What are you doing at here?" "Uh…What do you mean by "what I"m doing here"? Didn"t Kenji told you?" "He told me that you have gone missing." "What?! I"m sure that I have told him… wait, what"s wrong with your right arm?" Chris noticed Sky"s injury, Sky quickly hides it from Chris, Chris quickly runs to Sky. "Don"t hide it, show it to me!" said so, Chris slowly grabbed Sky"s right arm then remove the bandage. "Hah…How long you have been hiding this from me?" "That day, when we deal with "The Killer", the seal for that curse has break…" "You are seriously… You really should have told me earlier so that I can redo the seal for you…" "Wait…What…" Chris placed his hand on Sky"s injured arm, the injury slowly recovered and a seal seems to be imprinted to Sky"s right arm, stopping the corrosion…
"Chris…You have remembered about placing the seal!" "Uhm…Please just pretend you didn"t know what happened just now." "Oh...okay." "Anyway, I have something very important and urgent things need to let you know…
Meanwhile, New york… Seito"s looking at his phone, a bit frightened, he stared hard at 3 "old messages" that marked as read from Chris which shows: "d.a.m.n you, Seito Kenji! Why not answering my phone?" "Anyway, I"ll be flying back to j.a.pan now, due to some extremely urgent matter, will inform you through the phone later." "Oh! Please help me take care of Marumaru, okay?" Seito slowly put his phone… "I"m so going to die."…
At j.a.pan, "So you suspect Mr. Shuiichi is in charge of all the a.s.sa.s.sination on Itsuki?" "That"s one of the possibility, but I do have some very good reasons to put Shuiichi-san as the main suspect, which we will discuss it later…But too bad, I can"t even remember a single thing about Dracula, not even after… Ah!... Nevermind…" "Same here… the only thing I remember is seeing Dracula in a coffin… Hey, what is the other important thing you said?" "It about Ruby, I need to find her no matter what." "Ah… That girl huh?"
Chapter 25 - That Red-haired Girl
3 years ago… Chris is having some strawberry sundae at a dessert restaurant, suddenly a red-haired girl greets him…
"It"s been a while, Chris-sama." "Excuse me, did I know you?" "What? You don"t remember me? I"m Ruby. I have been with you for years." "I"m sorry, I don"t remember knowing you…" "You are the worst, Chris-sama, how can you forget about me? Don"t you remember what you have promised me?" "No…I"m sorry…My memories seem to be a bit messy recently, I don"t really remember if I know you…but I do briefly remember I used to have an affair with a red-haired lady, could that be you?" Then Ruby smiled with a pair of seemly flaming eyes.
Then, from time to time, Ruby will be sticking around with Chris all the time, keep reminding him of some promise he had to make to her during the past. Although Chris might suspect her sometime, but he still remains nice to her as deep in his heart, he does remember that he has indeed made such a life promise to someone he can"t remember, which he a.s.sumes to be Ruby. He clearly knows that this bad-tempered, ill-mannered, annoying and slightly yandere-ish girl is certainly not anyone he will make such a promise to. But who is she? And who is that mystery person that actually worth of him making such a promise?
These nonsense continue for about two and a half years… until that incident, when Ruby accidentally or maybe purposely putting Sky into a deadly injury… "Why are you doing this? He might die from that impact alright?" "Who told him to block my way in saving you, Chris-sama? He deserves it!" "You!...(*almost slapped Ruby but holds back*)…I don"t fxxking need you to save me! Get out of my sight! Don"t let me see you ever again!" Chris shouted. "Chris-sama, why?...Fine! I"ll make you regret this…" Then Ruby ran away…
Present… "Although I hate her, but I don"t think she is a person like that." "However, some facts do prove that she is indeed playing and messing me with my memory loss. I need to know why she did so and how did she know my past." "Chris, calm down…" "Another thing bothering me is that, I indeed have some memories of having affairs with some red-head, who is that person actually?" "Want a wild guess?" "Yeah?" "Probably just Maria." Then Chris stared hard at that idiot(Sky) and slowly gives him a thumbs up.
