Chapter 20- She’s back~1!
"Ryuu-kun, what have you thought about Karen-san? She seems awfully close to Kei-kun. Would it be fine to let things as they are?"
On the way back home, Sayaka asked her beloved and also her team leader about the sudden reappearance of the person whom her department had paid close attention to.
Karen was inhumane, and they could tell from one glance, but from close observation of the Headquarters, it was revealed that Karen was a vampire from a Royal Family.
How the higher officials were able to discern her bloodline was still unknown to them, but that wasn't the concern point here.
The purer bloodline a Vampire has, the more dangerous they become because of their thirst and innate strength. And Karen being identified as a royal seemed incredibly unsettling to let her near Kei, who was an ordinary being.
When Karen disappeared, big news broke from Blood Domain that a clan vault was destroyed, and the heir of clan Amber was spotted in the treason.
Rumors spoke that Karen was the person who, after gaining a heavy amount of fuel from the human realm, returned to partake in such illicit activity.
But nothing was evident, so Karen's return was ultimately named as a sudden turn of wind.
"Karen, by any means, is strong enough to kill Kei even if we all stand as his shield."
All three of the others stared at Ryuuta's profile for more than a second in surprise. But looking at his expression, it seemed he knew what he was stating.
"Can't we do something to ensure safety for Kei-kun? However, we can't possibly ask him to stay in our headquarters for his safety, can we?"
Aoi spoke in a bit of worry as, unlike the other two girls, she was a little familiar with Kei and had a friendly relationship with him until recent times.
Ryuuta sighed in defeat before he shook his head.
"No, we can't. I don't want him to know about this side of reality. Unlike us, he hasn't got any support in life, and if he gets to mingle with this supernatural world, I don't know what would happen to him in the end."
Ryuuta knew how struggling life Kei had spent until now. From middle high to High-school, Kei always remained alone without any family member as his support.
If not for Ryuuta, he might have isolated himself entirely from the world and disappeared just like that.
"You know you are a real good friend, right?"
Aoi held his hand as she spoke in admiration of how close the bond Ryuuta has for Kei and how he cares for those who are close to him.
"I also adore this quality of yours, Ryuuta-kun."
Hana also grabbed his other hand as she spoke with a small smile across her charming face.
"Despite the I can't hold your hand, I also feel the same, Ryuu-kun."
Sayaka chimed as she spoke with a pout for not being able to be lovey-dovey with her Ryuu-kun.
Ryuuta smiled warmly at the three as every time he felt heavy or low, these three, lights up his mood and helps him think more clearly.
"Thanks, everyone. Let's see what Karen actually wants..."

After parting ways from the three at the place where they generally separate, Ryuuta started walking back to his home.
Aoi and Sayaka live in the same direction, so they go together in Aoi's car. Hana generally spends her time after school at the dojo, so she goes directly to the next station.
Ryuuta's home was in the same town where the school was situated, naturally the closest among the four, so they walked until they reached about a hundred meters from his home before going on their own ways.
Within five minutes, Ryuuta turned his doorknob before entering inside. But suddenly, his senses alerted him that someone was intruding without permission.
Dropping his bag near the entrance, Ryuuta let go of his shoes not to make any sound before he pulled a wooden shinai from under the ledge of his shoe locker.
The shinai was best for such a situation since if the person inside were a normal human, Ryuuta would hit him out cold in the traditional way. But if they were inhumane, Ryuuta could turn his Shinai into a lethal weapon by injecting mana.
Walking slowly toward the living area from where he could feel the presence, Ryuuta held his Shinai in his back hold to avoid being seen.
But before he could have peeked inside to have a look, he felt the back of his neck getting cold as he realized that something had reached him without even him noticing.
"Still naive as ever, brother."
Ryuuta's eyes went wide as he heard a very familiar voice from his back; as he turned instantly to see an absolute stunning woman standing there with a beautiful smile on her face.
"Nee-san!"
Ryuuta let go of his weapon as he moved forward before hugging his sister fondly.
"Ara~did my brother feel lonely in my absence? But as I remember, mother only left for a month early, right?"
"I ain't lonely or something. It's just I am so happy to see you after so long."
Ryuuta spoke after separating from his older sister, as he was genuinely elated to meet his sibling after so long.
Hearing him, the girl smiled as she ruffled her brother's hair.
"Then, how come you arrived three days earlier?"
After snatching his head away from his sister, who was amended to make him bald today, Ryuuta asked with a subjective smile.
"O-Of course, I missed my house and my brother."
The woman blushed slightly as she replied in a fluster.
"Oh, really? Is it me and the house you missed? Are you sure that's the reason, Onee-sama~?"
Ryuuta didn't let go of the matter as he asked while tilting his body not to let his sister hide her face away.
Finally, after being teased like that for so god damn long, the honest answer came out of her.
"Fine, I was eager to see my Kei-kun. Happy? Now tell me, where is he? I want to bring him home right now."
