Chapter 98: Who is Kouro?

That aura of death came from Mei, who was currently smiling while squinting her eyes at Kouro. 

Kouro somehow felt familiar with this incident. He thought for a moment before remembering when Ayame and Mei were just getting to know each other. 

They both gave off a death aura similar to now, and the one that started it all was...

He glanced at Kiana who was looking at him innocently, if not because Kouro knew that Kiana really didn't have any bad intentions towards him, he would have used [Power Strike] on her by now. 

Kouro turned his attention back to Mei with a smile, even though he was currently thinking of a reasonable excuse to he say at maximum speed. 

Even though Kouro didn't understand why he became afraid after feeling that death aura, he didn't think much of it.

After all, the one giving off that aura is Mei, who was a Herrscher. And because of Kouro interference, Mei didn't have too much prejudice against Herrscher, so she didn't feel afraid of Herrscher's own power. 

Kouro first cleared his throat a few times, adjusting his posture before speaking like a certain harem protagonist.

 "Ahem! Mei! It's not what you think, Fu Hua was just helping me to get medicine from the tall glass cupboard over there. " 

"Nothing else?"

"Nothing else, I swear!" Kouro said firmly while putting on a serious look similar to Kazuma's when he was about to try to steal a woman's purse.

Even though Kouro knew that his reasoning sounded bullshit, he did tell the truth.

Too bad right after the death aura from Mei slowly faded, Kiana, who heard Kouro's excuse, then moved her nose at Kouro before throwing a bomb. 

"But… Kouro, why do you smell Fu Hua's scent from your body? " 

"..." 

Kouro's serious expression was broken because of Kiana's words. 

He started laughing stiffly and cold sweat started flowing from his forehead. "Ha ha ha you must be kidding Kiana, how could I have Fu Hua smell from my body? " 

"But I really smell it! "Kiana insisted.

And not only Kiana, Bronya, who was silent from the start, opened her mouth with an flat expression while 'Adding oil to the fire'.

"Bronya detects that the smell of Kouro's body has a 43.67% resemblance to the class president. " 

Kouro's movements stiffened, he turned to the side to avoid Mei's gaze. 

Just when Kouro wanted to use the legendary technique of the Joestar family, Mei was tapped on the shoulder.

"Kouro-kun… You will definitely explain it, right? " 

Even though Mei said that in a soft voice, Kouro felt goosebumps, the hairs on his neck stood on end and told him that if he didn't give her any explanation, he would definitely 'die'!

Kouro, with a stuck expression, thought of a very 'plausible' reason, but finally gave up and let his intuition take over. 

"Ah! Etto! Etto... It's actually because we previously... hugged each other. Without doing anything else, OF COURSE! "

Kouro explained like a defendant about to be sentenced to death. 

"Then why are you guys hugging? x2" Kiana and Mei folded their arms while looking at Kouro. 

"That's.. That's because we were in the same situation. She... left her family to train... Just like me. We told each other about the experience before hugging each other to calm down…" 

Kouro who said that was currently wearing a blank expression because he didn't understand what he was saying himself. 

But those words he didn't understand saved him from a 10,000,000 Volt thunder strike.

"I see…" Kiana and Mei nodded their heads and looked at Kouro with sympathy. Bronya also seemed lost in thought for a moment before nodding to him.

Kouro, who noticed their gazes, didn't clear up their misunderstanding, he just cleared his throat and said, "Ahem! I'm feeling better, so I'm going to class first, bye. " 

Kouro quickly disappeared from the sight of the three of them. 

Mei and Kiana then looked at each other before Kiana said first. "Mei-senpai, do you know Kouro's past and his goal? " 

Mei shook her head, "Kouro-kun until now never talked about his own goals and past. "

Because Kiana and the others live in the same house, they quickly become close, so they know each other's goals and pasts. 

For example, Kiana, who is looking for her father and Mei, who wants to control her Herrscher powers for the better. 

Even though Ayame and Bronya didn't say their goal of attending St. Freya academy, they still tell their past a bit. 

Ayame also once told a little about Kouro's past, although it wasn't very clear because Kouro ran away from home for unknown reasons. 

Even until now, Kouro had never told them about himself.

After thinking like that, they then realized that all this time Kouro had never said anything related to himself. 

They then remembered all of Kouro's actions that were always related to Honkai. He always looked calm when faced Honkai. Even his knowledge of Honkai was also very deep, so they wondered if Kouro was born to fight against Honkai. 

Kiana in particular, she somehow remembered a man in a red suit with purple eyes that she saw a few days ago against Chiyou. 

Kiana then matched the man's eyes with Kouro's eyes in her mind, as if she had discovered something surprising. 

Kiana opened her eyes wide and her mouth started to fall open.

There was only one thought in her mind, 'Their eyes are exactly the same!' 

Mei, who noticed Kiana's strangeness, looked at her with concern, because this was the first time she had seen Kiana put on such an expression other than when she was about to taste the food that Kouro cooked. 

"What's the matter Kiana-chan?"

"No, it's fine." Kiana shook her head quickly, but after that she quickly turned to Bronya and asked. "Bronya! Why do some people have different eye colors? " 

"Why do you ask?" This is the first time Bronya has seen Kiana look curious about something related to science. 

"Come on, just answer my question first!" Kiana says in urgent. 

"Generally, because of the melanin pigment in the iris, the higher the melanin content in the iris, the darker the eye color will be, and vice versa. " Bronya explained.

"Then can eye color be inherited genetically? " Bronya nodded her head, confirming Kiana's words. But because of Bronya's nod, Kiana's face became even paler.

Seeing Kiana being like this, Mei even Bronya became worried. "Are you really okay Kiana-chan? " 

"That…" Kiana took a deep breath before telling about the eyes of the man in the red coat they met during the incident against Chiyou. 

"That's impossible because it's too coincidental and even if that guy really has a relationship with Kouro, then Kouro will definitely tell us." Bronya said calmly.

 

Kiana, who heard that, then laughed stiffly while reassuring herself. "Hahaha, that's right, there's no way that guy has a relationship with Kouro, it's all too coincidental, ha ha… Ha. I-then I'll go to class first!" 

Kiana, who was still laughing, suddenly ran quickly to her class. 

Mei currently wore a thoughtful expression after hearing Kiana and Bronya's words before following Kiana back. 

Bronya just wore her usual flat expression and followed them. 

__ 

In the evening. 

Bronya is seen in her room and is staring at the screen containing information about Kouro. 

It seems that Bronya is also very curious about Kouro's past, but she doesn't show it to Mei and Kiana. 

Bronya read the information she had gathered regarding Kouro. 

Bronya read it carefully before frowning. She who had finished reading the information felt that she had missed something, as there was no really important information regarding Kouro's past. 

Bronya, who felt a little irritated later, logged into the charcoal database to calm down. She stared at the search site in the shchicksal database for a long time before idly typing Kouro's name into it.

Bronya at first just wanted to vent her frustration at not finding any important information about Kouro. 

But she didn't expect that Kouro's name was actually registered in the shchicksal database. 

Moreover, there was only one file regarding him. 

Bronya looked at the file which turned out to have been encrypted with a very high security system. 

Bronya raised her eyebrows before feeling challenged. Filled with curiosity, Bronya tried to break through the security system. 

5 hours later, with bloodshot eyes, Bronya stares at the file. 

'Bronya only has a few minutes before the system notices Bronya's attack. ' 

She quickly opened the file, which turned out to be a diary of someone named 'Hanagami Sagaki'. 

Seeing the name, Bronya raised her eyebrows, 'Hanagami? Isn't that the subject's last name Kouro?' 

Bronya read the diary which was a bit long, maybe about 15 or 16 pages. 

Bronya didn't read all the pages, because she didn't have enough time. She went straight to the last page. 

Bronya's expression after reading that changed. 

Her eyes widened in surprise.
