Seraphim: The Chronicles of Universe

Vol. 01 Ch. 06 - Turning Point 1

PART 1

—Kenshin's Perspective—

A larcenist? Kazee, is a larcenist? That's absurd! I can't, no! I don't want to believe it! She's caring and good! Especially with Caiti!

I looked at everyone; I stared directly at their faces. They're all frowning and confused after hearing it!

"...??"

They can't believe what they hear, but knowing that those two knew Kazee, it's like they're convinced!

"A while ago she was part of our band of serial larcenists." That tall man shouted while raising Kazee's arms

NO! MAN, YOU'RE LYING! SHE'S KIND! CAITI WAS HER PRECIOUS FRIEND! SHE CAN'T DO THAT TO HER!

"She would pretend to be dying and sneak into trailers. Then she'd pretend to lead the way and lead them straight to our hideout..."

That's not true! I looked at Caiti, her face is full of disappointment. Tears are spilling out of her eyes. These two unknown-men just hurt Caiti.

"...!"

The surface got more tensioned; and the pressures got sucked in the air. Kazee took a step forward and tried to speak something, but she can't voice it out and everyone...they're all stepping backwards.

"That was you..!!?" A worker asked

—FLASHBACK—

『Marketplace of Crisch City』

"Apparently, there is a larcenist who pretends to be dying in order to sneak into trailers.." Caiti explained

PART 2

So... That's that...huh? That's why she turned her attention away, when Caiti have had to explain it to me. That explained the pint of ignorance she released that time

Kazee clenched her fist while biting her lower lip. She wanted to get rid of these two

"I—It's.. tr—true.. I—.. used to do bad things..

..B—But.. once I made a 'FR—FRIEND'.. I— changed.." Kazee cried out

"NO! It wasn't an act anymore.."

"I decided to live without telling lies!" She exclaimed

I gaze at her but I can only see her left side

I see. I get it now Eisenheim. I guess, I can't intervene with them right now. Kazee is a kind person! But! Interfering right now is no good. Everything she said last night wasn't a lie. Her aura that time is very pure that's why I was so sure about it!

"Kazee, we can't trust what you say." Caiti's father said calmly

He pulled Caiti away from Kazee. He raised his right arms with open palm towards Kazee, pertaining to 'stop don't go near us.' Kazee got more startled and stuck in her position when she saw Caiti took a step backwards. Caiti sighs in disappointment

Caiti and Kazee. They were good persons I've recently met. There's no doubt about it! I've already sense that feeling from Lady Selene. Back then, whenever she visits me at the Houses of the Garden, she's always showing that kind of aura

*Sigh*

Besides, every time I look at Kazee's eyes. There's no evil intent, I can only see her pure soul. Though behind those eyes were full of regrets. I had no position to uphold my judgement here since I was just a day here. That's why it is better to stay low this time
