Fantasy Assassin in a modern world - Chapter 148

Chapter 148: The Start of Chaotic Sunday

After checking the schedule for the three places, Loki started to make a plan. It took Loki a bit of time, but in the end, he was able to squeeze going to the movies and going to the zoo, unfortunately, they had no time to go to the amusement park. Still, this was enough and they could just go to the amusement park next time.

Now that he was done with all of that, Loki looked at the time and saw that it was still a little early and he could probably train for a bit before his siblings woke up.

…

While Loki was training and no longer thinking about the upcoming outing, the person who was coming with him was in an opposite situation. Matsuri could not sleep properly as she was too excited about this outing. Though she would’ve preferred it to be just her and Loki, but hanging out with Loki’s siblings was fine as well.

Knowing how much Loki dotes on his siblings, Matsuri knew that to win Loki’s heart she first needed to win Alisa and Liam’s approval. On the surface, it would seem the two young siblings were pretty comfortable with her, and Alisa also somehow hinted that it would be alright for her to be Loki’s girlfriend, but Matsuri knew the hidden truth.

As a Detective she had a sort of sixth sense about these things. She felt that even though the two claimed to be alright with it they truly weren’t. In their brief encounters with each other as well as the talks they had on the phone, Matsuri had a certain understanding of Loki’s siblings.

Alisa was still not truly that comfortable with her and was just acting, she was trying her hardest for her big brother. Based on Matsuri’s understanding of Loki, she knew that the guy had no interest in dating and would not actively seek a partner at this time. Alisa who also knew of this fact thought that maybe Matsuri was Loki’s last chance in having a relationship. She didn’t want her beloved big brother to only focus on her and Liam, she wanted her big brother to find some normal happiness. That’s of course, just Matsuri’s hypothesis. She wasn’t a hundred percent sure about it, but the truth should be quite close.

…..

As for the young brother Liam. Every time she met the guy, he was always badmouthing Loki. To a random passerby, they might think that Loki and Liam’s relationship was quite bad but in truth, it was the opposite.

Matsuri did not know what the siblings had been through, but she was sure that despite spouting abusive words at Loki, Liam actually respected his big brother. In fact, Matsuri felt that Liam’s dependence on Loki as well as his protectiveness surpassed that of Alisa.

Even though at first glance it would seem that Liam doesn’t care who Loki dated, Matsuri felt like Liam might give whoever becomes Loki’s girlfriend a hard time if he thought she was not worthy of his big brother.

‘Okay, I need to improve their impression of me. I wonder what I should wear?… Normally I would’ve worn something pretty sexy for a date, but since I want to win over his siblings I need to look like a kind big sister… But if I do that, they might see through me, especially Alisa as she seems to be quite perceptive. Should I just dress up like I usually do, and wear whatever, there are some downsides in doing that, but that might be my best move at this point.’

Matsuri was formulating her strategy as she was looking at different clothes in her closet. It was still rather early so she still had time to continue to look at different combinations.

…

A loud sigh echoed in a luxurious room filled with expensive items. The sigh was followed by the sound of a finger tapping on wood. Kira was reading the reports of his various subordinates and felt a little uncomfortable.

‘So many things are happening and the flow of events is getting harder to predict. Not only did the Matsuda siblings awaken their inner energy but they were shown to be quite talented. This will attract the attention of that Clan… They might not come to meet them for now, but they will come faster than I anticipated.’ Just thinking about what was to come made Kira sigh again.

‘If that wasn’t already giving me quite the headache, the Alchemist Johann is actually hiding somewhere near this city. That would explain the new drug that has been going around. He’s a rather deadly variable so I need to watch out. Still, to make contact with Shin and Fade was something I could imagine, but who knew even that guy Michael would also be involved. These past few weeks that guy does seem to be doing something strange… I guess I could keep him in mind, but I have no need to monitor him for the time being. Not like I have any spare manpower to do that anyway.’

Kira frowned as he looked at the scattered pieces of information that were on his desk. He then stared at a certain profile. A picture of a man wearing a white mask and an all-black attire was attached to the file.

‘Everything became quite chaotic after he arrived. Ever since his appearance, it’s getting harder and harder to stay on top of things. I’m not even directly involved with him and he’s already giving me so much trouble. This feeling of not knowing what’s to come, unable to control even my own fate is really f*cking irritating.’

Mikado Kira unconsciously gnashed his teeth as he scratched his head. It has been so long since he felt this frustrated that he actually cursed in his mind without even noticing.

“Damn it! Things are becoming so difficult that I can’t think straight.” Kira looked at the time on his phone. It was already seven in the morning.

‘Hmm, oh it’s a Sunday today. I guess I could go and visit little Alisa and tease her for a bit. That always calms my heart. I can’t wait to see the expression she would make when I come for a surprise visit.’

After he made that decision, Kira got dressed and headed out.
