Chapter 24 - Another Chapter With No Title
"Anyway, let's get this back to your lab." Said Chris to Yuki.
"Okay…"
"Wait a minute, please don't take him away." Suddenly the archaeologist walks in.
"Well, I thought that we have already made things clear enough." Said Chris while looking at the archaeologist with an irritated look.
"Oh no! My apologies, I think there is some misunderstanding here. What I mean is, in order to prevent any unnecessary damage to this valuable subject, please leave it here and I can take care of it for you." said the archaeologist.
"Oh? Why should I trust you?" Chris asked
"I might not worth it for you to trust, but there is someone who does and would like to meet you." said the archaeologist.
"Hmm?"
"Chris! I don't think you should trust him!" said Seito.
"I'm quite interested to meet that mysterious person though… Seito, you go back to the mansion with Yuki first, I shall follow him." said Chris.
"Wait!"
"Don't worry, I'll be back before evening… Oh! Please get someone to guard the coffin." said Chris.
"Okay, I get it. Please take care of yourself okay?" said Seito.
"I will."
Later, Chris followed the old archaeologist to a condominium, and reached a certain, as he walks in, he saw a very familiar figure of a lady, and that figure slowly turned around…
"You…" "It's been a while…My Lord…."

Meanwhile in Japan, about 5 AM…
Sky's house, living room, Ben is examining and treating Sky's right arm which is now badly injured and 'melted', Maria is at their side, worried.
"Those new Mujos are surely aggressive, don't really know how to hold back." Said Ben while shaking his head.
"They never seen me before, it's normal to be alert with strangers, can't blame them." said Sky.
"Yeah sure, and you almost lost your right arm, this might take some time to recover." said Ben.
"It's all my fault, if I didn't provoke them, you will not get hurt when stopping our fight." said Maria with an almost cry look.
"Haha, to be honest, if they are not Enma's underling, I will not even bother to stop you." said Sky.
"Or, if it's Chris, Enma-sama will have to get a new pair of Mujos again." said Ben while still treating Sky's arm.
"Uh, Ben, why are you able to keep a straight face while saying something like this?" said Sky.
"It's the truth I'm telling… I have done with your bandaging, be more careful next time." said Ben
"Okay, my almighty Dr. Benjamin." said Sky.
"But Sky, what should we do about En-chan's (Maria's way of calling Enma) quest?" said Maria.
"Ah, that quest… Yeah, I wonder how are we going to find all the missing names from the book of life and death, even Enma's himself is uncertain about that." said Sky.
"Yes, it's kind of unusual to see him in that confused and anxious state." said Maria.
"Although he also mentioned that he might search for it himself if we can't help him, but after seeing how weak he was just now, I just can't effort to reject him." said Sky.
"Judging on his condition, I'm really concern about how long can he last…" said Ben who had just done with the bandaging.
"Ben, is Enma's condition that bad?" Sky asked.
"Well, you certainly know that his body gets worsen every day right?" said Ben
"…"
"Anyway, what is your thought, for the missing name?" Ben asked.
"I'm clueless, just hope that it's nothing to do with Hangan as Enma's said." said Sky.
"Yeah, I hope so too. Sky, I think you need to take some rest right now, better for your recovery and I need to get back the hospital, so see you later." said Ben.
"Oh okay."
Then, Ben left, Sky walk to the stair and get into his room, followed by Maria.
"Blaze, don't wake me up before 10 am."
"I told you don't call me by my code name!"
"Ah…. Whatever… good night."
"Ah… Good night… Wait! It's already morning!"
"…"
----------------------------------------------------------
9.00 am, Sky's house… Sky had awakened by a phone call from Seito Kenji.
"What's up Seito… What do you mean by 'missing'?" Sky turn on the speaker.
"Just now, Chris followed an old archaeologist to meet someone, he said he will be back before evening, but he hasn't come back yet right now, I can't reach his phone either, now Yuki is still trying to detect him with the GPS system…"
"Damn! Why are you even let him go? You are supposed to look after him!"
"I'm sorry, he insisted to go…"
"I see, I'll try to get there as soon as possible, please let me know if you found him."
"Okay."
Sky hangs up the phone.
"Did anything happened to Chris-chan?" Maria asked as he overheard the conversation.
"No time to explain, I need get a flight to America." said Sky.
"Wait! Are you serious?" Maria asked.
"If it's another person, I might not care much, but it's Chris!" said Sky.
"I know but… ah… your hand's bleeding again." said Maria.
"Shxt! I don't have time for this!" said Sky, rather anxious.
"How about you stay here and I'll go there for you." said Maria.
"I can trust you, right?" Sky asked.
"It's Chris-chan after all." said Maria.
"Okay, please go and make sure he's alright." said Sky.
