Ritsu's Armed Orphans - Volume 1

The Wolf Who Grew Fangs

Asami opened the door widely and shouted, "We're back!"

Hiroto pulled himself away from the desk to look at the door and noticed something unusual, "Hold on, where's Hayate, Kyoya and Chiaki?"

"How should I know? I thought they got back earlier than us." She placed her arms on her hips

Haruka folded her arms while she scrunched her nose, "Let me guess...They went to celebrate without us."

"Come on Haruka, you know they're not like that." Atsuko replied to her back while sitting at her desk in front of her.

All of a sudden, the door opened so fast that a little gasp of wind blew some of the papers on the table away. "Hey guys, a little help here." Chiaki and Hayate held his arms around their neck while Kyoya's face looked pale as he tried to prevent himself from closing his eyes.

"Oh my gosh, what happened to him?!" Asami rushed towards them at the same time helping them take him to the coach while Hiroto spoke. "Careful, careful."

As soon as they laid him on the coach for him to rest, Asami sighed and turned her head towards Hayate for answers. "What exactly happened out there? Didn't you guys get the relic? Why is he suddenly like this?"

"Don't worry It's here in my hands." As he took out the relic from his pocket and showed it to her in front of everyone. "And as for how he became unconscious like this, I think he must've worked pretty hard so that he never gives himself a rest."

"Sure hope he's okay." As Hiroto stood there worriedly staring at him, he breathed out air from his lungs heavily with his face pale as the colour of snow.

Just then, the door made a squeaky sound while quietly opening in a flash. It is the president who's returned from an urgent business. "How is he feeling?"

Hiroto turned around and walked towards him. "Uncle, your back."

"He's still an unconscious uncle. But We'll take him to the hospital later." Asami replied while placing a warm towel on his head.

"There's no need, I'll call in a friend of mine."

Atsuko walked quietly to him and said, "Are you sure uncle? What if the person you're recommending could expose us?"

"Don't worry, she's someone who's sworn to secrecy."

Back at the town hall, the whole crew is going crazy rushing round and round just to find the Stone of Shards but has still failed. In the 3rd last room where the relic was taken, Arthur kept on walking around in circles with his face as red as a volcano.

The manager stood there in front of him watching him walk in circles. "Please calm down Mr Beaumont, I'm sure we'll find it soo-"

"Don't you dare lecture me you fool! That relic is my property!" Arthur ran up to his face with his clenching. "And whoever gets its own hands on it, I WILL MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEIR FILTHY HANDS!!!"

"Yes right, my apologies sir!" The manager lowered his head with his hands shaking.

Duncan appeared from behind him and gently pushed his glasses on his nose. ​​"Lord Beaumont, If you'd like I may offer you a suggestion?"

"AND WHAT IS THAT?!!"

He walked towards him and whispered in his ear. "You can find the culprit by using your ability through the security cameras."

Arthur began to smile viciously while returning to his old self. "I see, and why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"My apologies sir, but your abusement to others has given me some amusement." He titled his head up to his face with a wicked smile.
