Adopted Soldier - Chapter 413: After Story: Emily's Proposal (3)

Kei who had been cuffed by power suppressing cuffs, and had a bag on his head tried to listen to the outside sounds. The first thing he noticed was that there was no sound. He was just at the park a while ago, and even though there were few people, there should still be people around making different noises. Yet now they were all gone the only thing he heard were two different footsteps.

One was light and made a click-clack sound that was normal for someone wearing high heels. The other was barely audible footstep, coming from a trained person. The only people who could make such sounds were professionals like the former mercenaries. The current hunters and those super-powered villains don’t have the skill to do this.

‘So it’s a pair, a woman and a man. I didn’t hear any screams, and the atmosphere changed in but a single second. Also, even though my face is covered by this bag, I can still smell things. The scent of the surrounding area changed as well. It’s obvious that we changed locations in a second. That would mean, the sounds of walking is but a trick. In truth, we have been teleported to a different place. I only know of two individuals that fit the specifications that I have thought of.”

“Emi, and Sir Kyle, what do you think you’re doing?”

“…” No one responded by they stopped moving.

“I know it’s you two.”

“I don’t know who the f*ck this Emi and Sir Kyle are but if you don’t shut up, I’m just going to kill you.” The one who spoke had the voice of a rugged man.

“You know Emi, you should have prepared better. Why would someone kidnap me, and know nothing about Emi and Sir Kyle, whom I’m close to? Also, who in this day and age, that lives in this dome doesn’t know the members of the Mercenary Club?”

“We don’t care about those kinds of sh*t things. All we do is what we’re ordered to do. Who cares who you are, we were simply told to capture the man who was sitting at the bench facing the statue.”

When Kei heard this, he was starting to waver a bit. The things that man said made sense. There was also the fact that the sound of his voice wasn’t coming from the person wearing high heels, instead, it came from the guy carrying him.

‘Still, Emi is good at changing her voice as well as using ventriloquism. If I remember correctly she learned those skills from Sayaka.’ While Kei was thinking, the man with the rugged voice spoke.

“You finally stop talking. The less you know the better. Since if you learned more than your supposed to, we would have to kill you.”

Hearing what the man said Kei’s wavering heart, wavered even more. He was confused, even though all the signs pointed in the two being Emily and Kyle, he was no doubting himself.

‘This is why I can never match up to those guys… Just a little change and I lose my resolve. I am such a loser…’ Kei gritted his teeth as he once again fell hate for himself. He then shook his head, ‘I need to stop that. If I want to continue to walk beside them, then I need to show my resolve. If I’m mistaken then what’s the worst that could happen, death?’

“Hey Emi, you better stop this act since I already know it’s you guys.”

“I keep on telling you that I’m not this Emi person. Anyway is Emi the name of a guy?”

“This act is fooling no one. Also for the entire time your partner hasn’t talk.”

“I haven’t talk because I didn’t feel like it. Now that you have heard my beautiful voice are you happy?” The one who spoke had a very cute tone, it wasn’t anywhere near what Emily sound like, but for someone of Emily’s it was much easier to change into a cute girl voice than the gruffy male one.

“Emi, where are you taking me?”

“I already said there’s no Emi here, if you don’t shut up then I won’t care about the reward for taking you in, I’ll just kill you now.”

“Do it then, kill me.”

“Huh?”

“If you don’t kill me with your own hands, I’ll help you and bite my tongue.”

“Why the f*ck will you do that?”

“If you really aren’t Emi and Sir Kyle, then that would mean I was truly captured. So as to not become a liability to those I care about then I should remove your bargaining chip which is me. Seeing as I can’t escape on my own, so this is the only action I can take at this point.”

“Huh? That doesn’t make any sense?” The sound of the woman talking was becoming a bit panicky. Others might not have noticed, but Kei who has a keen ear for such things was able to notice the change in the person’s pitch.

“Well, it doesn’t really matter if it makes sense to you or not. As long as they make sense to me. Hey, if you really aren’t Emi, if you ever meet her can you tell her that I’m sorry for everything.” Kei bit his lip and blood started coming out. The blood then fell onto the bag that was covering his face.

“STOP THAT!” The bag that was covering Kei’s head was removed. He then saw two familiar figures. Emi was looking at him in shock and panick, on the other hand Kyle had a look of surprise on his face. He was blind but his other senses were heightened, so when he smelled blood he knew that Kei wasn’t bluffing.

“I knew that it was you.” Kei smiled as his lips continued to bleed. Emily who was holding back her tears slapped Kei’s cheeks.

“KEI YOU IDIOT!” After saying those words Emily teleported away, leaving a bewildered Kei and a confused Kyle.
