Chapter 1393 Series of Murders
Bucharest.
If Haru wasn't in the Holy Grail War nor was he in the quest for the group chat, he would use this ti to tour around the city since it was his first ti to be here.
Bucharest was the Capital of Romania and of course, it would be pretty different from both Trifas and Sighisoara.
Haru had high expectations for this city, but sotis, the reality was different.
It might be related because this place was another world and there was a Holy Grail in this city which caused the atmosphere in this city to be quite depressing and the wound from the dictatorship hadn't been recovered.
The wounds that are carved into the country by the Ceau?escu regi are the "children of Ceau?escu", the destructive legacy of the regi born from its policies. Romania once outlawed contraceptives and abortions and has attempted to force all families to have at least five children. Many youths were unable to be raised and ended up as street children who delved into lives of cri and human trafficking. While the dictatorship ended in revolution, those lives who were born could not be returned, and they were devoured and scattered by criminal organizations and people of power, surviving by turning from the prey to the predators.
It was also the reason why both Fiore and Haru walked into the city, there were a lot of thieves who wanted to steal sothing or did sothing inexplicable to both of them since the appearance of both of them was very good and they didn't seem to be poor.
However, with a glare from Haru, they quickly scattered.
Chiron and Raikou didn't appear beside them and stayed in astral form since their appearance might cause a lot of attention unless they changed into normal clothes, but at this mont, they had to admit that Haru's aura was very special and even comparable to best kings on the Age of Gods.
Fiore looked at Haru curiously, wondering how he was able to scare those thieves with a glare, but she didn't say much and felt secure beside him.
"Kasugano-kun, is this your first ti in Bucharest?"
"Yes, but I guess, I didn't co to this place at the right ti." Haru looked around to see a cafe or restaurant around the city. "I want to eat the traditional food of Romania since it is my first ti here, but there's sothing more important to do after all."
"When the Holy Grail War ends, I will take you to visit," Fiore said unconsciously.
"Really? I can't wait for that ti," Haru said with a smile.
Raikou didn't care much about the conversation between Haru and Fiore, since she knew that Haru was her man, but Chiron was different since the promise between Haru and Fiore ant that both of them believed that they would be the winner of the Holy Grail War.
Chiron was glad that he was in his astral form or else everyone would see his smile.
"But still, is Assassin really in this town?" Haru asked.
"Yes."
Fiore nodded, but her expression beca low for so reason. "Our people have sent a notice that Assassin is currently within this town, however, there's no notice that Assassin has left the city."
"There's no notice?" Haru raised his eyebrow.
"In truth, we have lost contact with our people," Fiore said while letting out a long sigh.
"Hopefully, Assassin is in this town…"
Fiore would be lying if she wasn't feeling nervous. It was her first ti joining the Holy Grail war after all, especially when Assassin from her faction suddenly had disappeared. She was wondering what the master of Assassin was doing and why that master hadn't contacted them.
Fiore shook her head then looked at Haru who was still in the mood to see the scenery of the town.
It was as if Haru could notice Fiore's feeling then he directly asked, "Fiore, do you feel nervous?"
"No."
Fiore subconsciously denied it since she didn't want to be underestimated, but then when he kept staring at her, she smiled bitterly and nodded. "It's my first ti in this Holy Grail and I might et another master and servant in this town."
"It's normal to be nervous," Haru said.
Fiore looked at Haru and asked, "But you don't seem that nervous, Kasugano-kun?"
"Really? Then I might be really good at pretending to be alright since, at this mont, I am so nervous that my feet feel weak," Haru said with a smile.
Fiore pouted and said, "Who is going to believe in such a lie?" She could tell that Haru was pretty much relaxed.
Haru rubbed his nose and said, "The truth is…"
"The truth is…" Fiore looked at Haru curiously.
Haru was about to say sothing, but suddenly a group of people ran past them.
"Hey, did you hear there is another murder?"
"Really? Was it from the sa people?"
"Considering how the killer killed the victim, that probability is high."
"The police are fucking useless!"
"Anyway is it better to see the scene first and tonight, let's stay at ho."
Haru and Fiore, of course, heard their conversation, both of them then looked at each other and nodded, following the group who were going to visit the location of the murder.
When Haru and Fiore arrived at the cri scene, there were a lot of groups of pedestrians, creating a circle around the cri scene. They could tell that they were coming to see what had happened since they also did the sa thing.
Two police officers stopped the people who wanted to get close to the cri scene with a stern expression, however, the faces of the two police officers were pale and scared for so reason.
Inside the alley, there was an intense sll coming from the alley, and around the periphery of the alley, there was a pool of red liquid.
Haru and Fiore could see that there were several corpses in the alley that had been mutilated.
"The sll of blood is too strong."
Haru was familiar with the sll of blood since he had been in the war several tis in the past and he also had killed people after all, but still, he was quite uncomfortable by the thod of Assassin to kill soone.
Even though Haru knew the story, it was different after all since he saw the real thing.
"What a cruel killer, most of the hearts of those corpses have disappeared."
Haru frowned after hearing the words from the pedestrians. He looked at Fiore who didn't seem good and asked, "Fiore, are you alright?"
"They're…"
Fiore frowned and said in low voice, "So of them are the people from our family." She then beca worried and wondered what had happened to the people that had been sent by the family to et Assassin.
"…I see."
Haru let out a long sigh and said, "There is a high probability that the one who has done all of this is an Assassin, right?"
