Kei who had been cuffed by power suppressing cuffs, and had a bag on his head tried to listen to the outside sounds. The first thing he noticed was that there was no sound. He was just at the park a while ago, and even though there were few people, there should still be people around making different noises. Yet now they were all gone the only thing he heard were two different footsteps.
One was light and made a click-clack sound that was normal for someone wearing high heels. The other was barely audible footstep, coming from a trained person. The only people who could make such sounds were professionals like the former mercenaries. The current hunters and those super-powered villains donât have the skill to do this.
âSo itâs a pair, a woman and a man. I didnât hear any screams, and the atmosphere changed in but a single second. Also, even though my face is covered by this bag, I can still smell things. The scent of the surrounding area changed as well. Itâs obvious that we changed locations in a second. That would mean, the sounds of walking is but a trick. In truth, we have been teleported to a different place. I only know of two individuals that fit the specifications that I have thought of."
"Emi, and Sir Kyle, what do you think youâre doing?"
"..." No one responded by they stopped moving.
"I know itâs you two."
"I donât know who the f*ck this Emi and Sir Kyle are but if you donât shut up, Iâm just going to kill you." The one who spoke had the voice of a rugged man.
"You know Emi, you should have prepared better. Why would someone kidnap me, and know nothing about Emi and Sir Kyle, whom Iâm close to? Also, who in this day and age, that lives in this dome doesnât know the members of the Mercenary Club?"
"We donât care about those kinds of sh*t things. All we do is what weâre ordered to do. Who cares who you are, we were simply told to capture the man who was sitting at the bench facing the statue."
When Kei heard this, he was starting to waver a bit. The things that man said made sense. There was also the fact that the sound of his voice wasnât coming from the person wearing high heels, instead, it came from the guy carrying him.
âStill, Emi is good at changing her voice as well as using ventriloquism. If I remember correctly she learned those skills from Sayaka.â While Kei was thinking, the man with the rugged voice spoke.
"You finally stop talking. The less you know the better. Since if you learned more than your supposed to, we would have to kill you."
Hearing what the man said Keiâs wavering heart, wavered even more. He was confused, even though all the signs pointed in the two being Emily and Kyle, he was no doubting himself.
âThis is why I can never match up to those guys... Just a little change and I lose my resolve. I am such a loser...â Kei gritted his teeth as he once again fell hate for himself. He then shook his head, âI need to stop that. If I want to continue to walk beside them, then I need to show my resolve. If Iâm mistaken then whatâs the worst that could happen, death?â
"Hey Emi, you better stop this act since I already know itâs you guys."
"I keep on telling you that Iâm not this Emi person. Anyway is Emi the name of a guy?"
"This act is fooling no one. Also for the entire time your partner hasnât talk."
"I havenât talk because I didnât feel like it. Now that you have heard my beautiful voice are you happy?" The one who spoke had a very cute tone, it wasnât anywhere near what Emily sound like, but for someone of Emilyâs it was much easier to change into a cute girl voice than the gruffy male one.
"Emi, where are you taking me?"
"I already said thereâs no Emi here, if you donât shut up then I wonât care about the reward for taking you in, Iâll just kill you now."
"Do it then, kill me."
"Huh?"
"If you donât kill me with your own hands, Iâll help you and bite my tongue."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Why the f*ck will you do that?"
"If you really arenât Emi and Sir Kyle, then that would mean I was truly captured. So as to not become a liability to those I care about then I should remove your bargaining chip which is me. Seeing as I canât escape on my own, so this is the only action I can take at this point."
"Huh? That doesnât make any sense?" The sound of the woman talking was becoming a bit panicky. Others might not have noticed, but Kei who has a keen ear for such things was able to notice the change in the personâs pitch.
"Well, it doesnât really matter if it makes sense to you or not. As long as they make sense to me. Hey, if you really arenât Emi, if you ever meet her can you tell her that Iâm sorry for everything." Kei bit his lip and blood started coming out. The blood then fell onto the bag that was covering his face.
"STOP THAT!" The bag that was covering Keiâs head was removed. He then saw two familiar figures. Emi was looking at him in shock and panick, on the other hand Kyle had a look of surprise on his face. He was blind but his other senses were heightened, so when he smelled blood he knew that Kei wasnât bluffing.
"I knew that it was you." Kei smiled as his lips continued to bleed. Emily who was holding back her tears slapped Keiâs cheeks.
"KEI YOU IDIOT!" After saying those words Emily teleported away, leaving a bewildered Kei and a confused Kyle.
