"Master..."
It was Yingying who broke the silence. Caesar and Victor still seemed in shock as they stared at his hand where the dark fumes had risen from.
Keith took a deep breath and nodded to her.
"I am fine, Yingying."
"Young Master, what was that?" Caesar quickly came forward and inspected him. Only after he was certain that everything was fine, did he heave a sigh of relief.
"It is nothing to worry about." He lightly said and smiled at the Old Man. "Just something I was looking for."
"Oh.." Caesar was still curious, but he decided to not ask Keith about it.
Recently, his Young Master had given him a little too many surprises, and the more he spent time with Keith, the more he felt that he still did not know him.
Keith knew that he had to make them stop questioning him about it. The knowledge of God Stones needed to be kept as quiet as possible. And so, he decided to pretend that it was something he was looking for.
Which would now make Caesar think that Keith was primarily here for this thing, and eliminate the thoughts that made him worried about his well-being.
"Master, you are an Esper?!" Victor exclaimed after he finally recovered from shock.
Keith really wanted to get up and give him a smack at the back of his head for brining up a new train of thought for Yingying and Caesar to mull over.
"No, I am not an Esper." He straightforwardly said and stood up, presenting his hand to the little girl who was still wearing a surprised expression.
The little girl was taken aback at his seeing his hand appear in front of her eyes, but when she saw the amiable smile on his face, she presented her soft fleshy hand to him, allowing him to help her stand up.
And once she was up on her feet, her mind once more registered the cold, making her shiver under it.
Keith saw her struggling in the cold and carefully took off his tench coat, putting it on her.
The little girl lowered her head at the sweet gesture and bowed to him, which made him smile at her.
"Get away from her!" A hoarse voice sounded out all of a sudden, speaking in Japanese, and everyone except for the little girl turned to look towards its direction.
The boy in a tight black outfit, who looked to be around twenty years old, was riddled with cuts that dripped blood. He was panting heavily as he took an attacking stance, dual-wielding Ninjato in his hands. And his dark, almost black eyes, which were the same color as his hair, coldly looked at them, as if sentencing them to death.
"Uncle Caesar..." Keith lightly said, and the old man pulled out the sword that was resting on Yingying's back before rushing at the boy before the latter could rush at them.
The little girl screamed when she saw the old man rush at her brother, intending to kill him, but Keith placed his hand on her shoulder and kept her in her place.
Keith assured the little girl and made her look as Caesar picked up her brother carefully in his arms.
