Chapter 956 My Beautiful Monster Part 57
TOH
Toh turns his focus back on the screen. Jian Hiriji's tone is cold, and his gaze remains indifferent. He has seen this expression of the man's face before. So it isn't new to him. However, Mamoru seed surprised. Get a close look, look carefully.
Jian Hiriji is a cold blooded killer, who is even more ruthless than Lucifer.
"The reason you're so angry isn't even because of Mamoru-san. Sumire-chan, you know didnt you? That I used Akishima to-"
Sumire's eye colour flashed a bright shade of red. If the power emitting from her body wasn't dangerous before. It was beyond deadly now. A mixture of black shadows and fire.
Is this shadow fire? No, there is sothing else there. Her blood is mixed in.
Mamoru turns his attention to the screen. "That explains it."
"Explains what? What could have triggered her so much?"
"Yuhi." Mamoru nodded. "Hiriji used a man called Akishima to make Yuhi suffer. The reason why Yuhi ended up awakening his shadowfire power is because of the darkness inside him, the darkness he had to endure due to Akishima. If Hiriji is the one who caused that-" He shakes his head. "I'm surprised she was so calm when she saw him."
Toh thinks back to the girls expression then at the studio. If he thinks about it carefully. She was calm, but it was the deadly calm. She was assessing him silently. She must have seen him before the others did. How long was she assessing him?
"Ki may forgive Hiriji for the accident. I know her, if I forgive Hiriji she would do the sa. But it's different for Yuhi. Ki saw the hardships he experienced first hand, saw him plagued with terror." Mamoru pauses. "I see now why Ki has no hostility towards Lucifer, her anger is directed towards Hiriji."
'I wonder if that's the reason why she can accept Lucifer so easily. Even if she lost her mories, surely there should still be hatred inside her? But, if she never hated him and was always aiming for Jian-'
Toh paused when red coloured flas pushed Sumire's flas back but only briefly. Red flas, surrounded by a blue coloured ring. It was Hamano and Kiragi Asuka. Hamano was pulling Sumire back.
Asuka turns to Hiriji, a pained gaze in her eyes as she takes out a blade and extends it towards him.
"Stop!" Sumire scread. "I will be the one to end him. I have to! He-because of him. Yuhi- Yuhi-"
"Sumire, calm down."
"No. No! Let go."
Hamano looked very conflicted, and right that mont Aki showed up and knocked Sumire out.
"Asuka, lower that blade. Let him go." Aki commanded.
Asuka didn't move her sword as she assessed Hiriji. "If you've been following her for as long as we have. You must have overheard that. He admitted with his own mouth that he was the one who hard Mamoru, and that he aided in the felon Akishima's actions. The Holy knights may be willing to let this go, but as the vice lead in Hyou4. I have to arrest this man."
"Yes, you have to arrest him, not kill him. Put the sword down Asuka." Aki's tone softens. "Even if she has hate in her heart now. You know she doesn't really want to kill him."
Reluctantly Kiragi Asuka puts her blade away.
Hiriji coughs weakly but gets up. His gaze lingered on Sumire. "You have to get her to a doctor."
Aki nodded. "Go, before I change my mind."
With those words said Jian Hiriji vanished. Toh watches Aki bend down and lightly kiss Sumire's forehead. A bright glow appears from his hands, healing the girl's wounded hands. "You silly fool, but I get it. Do you love Yuhi this much? I'll send you to him."
When the footage finally ended. Both he and Mamoru are quiet.
"Do you know if anyone else got this footage?" Toh asked.
Mamoru shakes his head. "It was all blurred, and so were the voices. It was actually tucked in the police records not the SF because of the blurry footage. It seed like a simple street fight. Nakura has been working hard, and watching all the footage in star town slightly before my accident. He finally found this one, a tape that was only inspected once before being filed."
It's good that nobody else has this. It's good that the police mbers that the dia are in league with never saw this.
If it ever got into the wrong hands- Toh paused. His thoughts drifted onto Sumire's state in the video. He briefly went to see her after Ru's accident, so he saw with his own eyes. But that rage, that pained yell. He has never seen her so broken, so lost to the world. She would have destroyed everything with that power of hers.
"Let keep this. I'll speak to the Lord."
Did Lucifer know anything about this? Did Lucifer feel Sumire losing control? They are supposed to have a bond. Temporary it may be, it is a bond nonetheless.
Mamoru nodded.
Seeing his expression, Toh sighs. "Stay here tonight."
Mamoru laughs weakly. "But don't you have Sano's sister around? I wouldn't want to intrude."
"It's fine. I feel like if I let you go out in this state, you will do sothing crazy." Toh trails off. "There is another guest room down the hall."
"Yet you sohow managed to trick Ki into sleeping by your side."
Toh rolls his eyes. "It may have started that way, but she was more than willing after a while."
"That's because Ki has always been comfortable around you." Mamoru trails off. "When she cos back, you'll have to explain what you've been doing with Nagawa Akane before she hears about it from others."
Toh shuts his eyes briefly and nods. "Yeah, I know."
With those words said Mamoru escapes down the hallway. Toh slumps on the couch. The hatred in Sumire's tone, her hollowed eyes and that power. He knew she has been suffering, has been battling with the darkness since she was a child. But this, this level of pain. It's sothing he doesn't understand and he is a psychologist. How many patients has he treated over the years?
