Chapter 21: Kuro

"Brother, take me this time!"

"I am really good at marksmanship, take me. I can give you a hand," Kate said with a look of expectation while watching Aizen.

When he saw Kate who waited for his answer with a look of expectation, he shook his head and said: "Not now. According to my information, the enemy is very fast this time. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you, even more, I think Annie will carry a lot of things back alone."

After speaking, he motioned to Kate to look at Annie, who was upright next to him. Seeing the pout of Annie, Kate scratched his head awkwardly and smiled with an embarrassed face.

Aizen didn't lie. Kuro's speed was very fast, especially when he used the Pussyfoot maneuver. From his knowledge, even his shadow couldn't be seen at all. Once Kate was with him, he would always have to worry about kate and be distracted, but if there were only him in the field, he wouldn't have to worry too much. After all, even if Kuro's speed was fast, whether he could hit Aizen or not was another thing. Moreover, Kuro was also the best dummy for verifying his strength.

...

After separating from Kate and Annie, Aizen walked to Keya's house that he had heard from the waiter in the restaurant.

Kaya's home was not difficult to find. The large house on the side of the island showed the owner was rich and also points out the direction for him.

Aizen walked to the courtyard of the mansion and politely rang the doorbell and quietly waited for the owner of the house to open the door.

With a "creak", the gate of the courtyard was opened wide, and Aizen couldn't help being surprised as he watched the person who walked out of the gate, who opened the door was a girl with long light blonde hair, when she saw Aizen with a sword on his waist in front of the door, she asked curiously: "Who are you?"

Looking at the girl who opened the door, Aizen was also surprised. In his impression that Keya was a quiet and weak girl, the girl in front of her was thinner, but she seemed to be more energetic than the original. Oh, yes, I heard from the waiter that it seemed that Keya's parents were still alive and that she did not stay in bed because of the death of her parents, so this is just right.

"Well, I have something to talk to your housekeeper, Mr. Klahadore, is he inside?" Although he was surprised in his heart, Aizen asked with a slight smile on his face.

"Um, butler Klahadore went out to make purchases in the village, and he should be back soon. Would you like to come in and sit down for a cup of tea and wait for him to come back?"

Hearing that Kuro went out to purchase and he would come back later, Aizen showed a surprised expression on his face. It seemed to be a coincidence, but this was good too so that he would not have to fight in Kaya's house and hurt someone in the family.

"He went to the village, that's really a coincidence, it seems I have to go to the village to find him, then forgive me for interrupting you, beautiful lady."

Looking at Aizen, who turned around and left after speaking, Kaya was curious, what this man wants to talk with butler Klahadore, she didn't seem to have seen him in the village before, could he be a former friend of Klahadore? As soon as he heard the butler Klahadore went to the village, he left, why did he not come in and sit down waiting for him, is he in a hurry?

...

After leaving Kaya's family house, Aizen walked back slowly along the path connecting the village and the house. He was not in a hurry. Anyway, there was only one road between the village and their house. As long as he walked slowly, he could always meet Klahadore.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked to the nearby woods, he saw a person with a black suit, walking towards Kaya's house with a bag, and as soon as he saw Kuro, who was almost the same as the one he knew, Aizen sighed after have been seeing the result of his patience, he could finally kill the pirate captain who had burned, killed and looted, he could behave peace of mind after killing him. This man also came after buying things in person. Aizen could not find any patience in his heart to kill him.

tsk tsk tsk.

Although he muttered these words in his heart, Aizen did not show any extra expressions on his face. He hadn't just looked at Kuro curiously but actually put his right hand on his waist near the sword handle, waiting for the moment when the two sides fight, the sword could be pulled out of the sheath at the fastest speed.

.....

Kuro, who happened to be back from the purchase, frowned as he looked at Aizen who was walking towards him and he started thinking, "This man came from the direction of the big house. I have never seen this swordsman before. He looks very young from the outside. Is he Ms. Kaya's friend? Is he? Is he a threat to my plan? It seems that I have to investigate him carefully when I go back."

Thinking about it, Kuro habitually pushed his glasses with his wrist.

Aizen Pov

Kuro doesn't have his cat claws in his hand in order to hide his identity. Now Don't blame me for bullying you with the weapon!

Aizen smirked and thought of taking advantage of the bastard, he planned to wait for the moment when he was close to Kuro to do it.

Kuro Pov

Seeing Aizen smirking, Kuro couldn't help thinking: Maybe he had just met Miss Kaya and was he was laughing over there now, Is he Miss Kaya's suitor, Or am I, did I think too much?'

Aizen's smirk caused the threat level in Kuro's heart to drop.

Aizen, who was grinning, would not have thought that his smile would have caused a silly appraisal in Kuro's heart, and it also caused him to relax his vigilance on himself. It was an unexpected joy, but if Kuro knew it, he would not know whether to cry or laugh.

As the footsteps continued to move forward, the distance between Aizen and Kuro kept getting decrease and at the moment when the two sides were about to cross, Aizen's waist was placed on the hilt of the sword, and he did it instantly.

His sword is instantly unsheathed, turning into a blade of light and passing Kuro's neck.

Damn it!

The moment Aizen started moving his hand, Kuro had a big alarm in his heart, and his body instinctively dodged to the side, but because the distance between the two sides was too close, although the neck had avoided the rapid blow, his right arm and half of his chest were caught. The sword cuts open a deep hole.

As soon as Aizen saw that Kuro avoided his attack, he continued to pursue the attack, dashing forward in the direction of Kuro's, and continued to attack.

Facing Aizen's rapid attacks, Kuro didn't choose to make it hard. Instead, he had rushed to the nearby woods without hesitation, trying to get rid of Aizen's chase by the obstacles of the trees.

Seeing Kuro decisively fleeing, Aizen also followed he didn't want to let some like Kuro escape.
