Reversed Circus (Finished)

Chapter IX

Not long after, a tall man with short pink hair, in a long, white doctor's robe, enters the basement, holding a syringe in his hand, along with a bottle.

Hirato:-Akari, faster, we don't have time.

Akari looked at Hirato insistently, but he avoided eye contact.

Akari:-I discovered a new antidote for wound closure. If your body cooperates, it will close in a few seconds.

Me:-Uhm, do you have to inject it to me?

Akari:-Unfortunately yes. Give me your right hand.

I grabbed Hirato by the hand, trying to avoid eye contact with the injection as much as possible.

Hirato put a hand on my back, letting me lean on him. He knew how much I hate injections.

When I felt the needle penetrate my skin, I clenched my teeth. Feeling the sharp pain and the fluid flowing through my veins, I began to tighten tightly Hirato's hand.

After a few good seconds, Akari was done. Hirato wiped the sweating from my face with a napkin.

I began to feel a slight pain from the point where I was stung. After that, I felt my wounds close one by one.

I looked at the wound in my abdomen, then at the wounds on my hands, watching it slowly close.

Happy, I hugged the doctor.

Me:-Akari, you did it!

Akari answered the hug, but not for long because a loud sound was heard above us.

Hirato:-What's happening ?!

...:-Krone Saphir!

Me: -Someone's fighting, come quickly!

I started running towards the exit, followed by Hirato and Akari.

I stopped in the hallway, looking at the yard. Iva and Tsukumo were fighting against Uro.

Me:-Oh no...

Hirato:-We must stop them!

He began to run before us, all three getting outside.

Reaching close to them, I screamed to end the fight.

Iva:-Don't come closer! We'll end him!

Uro:-I wouldn't say that.

He hit her, falling to the ground. Then he turned to Tsukumo, managing to grab her from behind, hitting her hard in the neck.

Hirato:-Go!!

He threw his hat at Uro, turning into beautiful, long-haired, black-haired girls dressed in a white dress. They all caught their hands, forming a sphere, forming a wave of electricity, and Uro fell on the ground.

Hirato:-Keep him there! We have captivate him.

Me:-No...Hirato, don't do that! Let him go!

Hirato:-Huh? Miss Director, we must--

Me:-No, Hirato, you don't understand ... Let him go, please!

I grabbed Hirato, looking into his eyes. A few tears ran down my face, Hirato looking at them, remaining shocked.

Iva and Tsukumo hardly got up, walking near Uro.

Iva:-Huh?! Miss Director !!!

Before anyone could say anything else, Uro got up from the ground, smashing the entire sphere created by Hirato's Banshees, destroying them as well.

Iva and Tsukumo were pushed back by the power that came from Uro, so were we. The girls were hit by the building, hitting the ground hard, losing consciousness.

I quickly ran to him, hugging him, begging him to stop.

Uro:-Huh??!!

Me:-Uro, please, stop!

I held him in my arms, then I fell to the ground. Uro didn't let me fall, catching me before I made contact with the ground.

Me:-Please do not make the situation worse...Surrender and I'll defend you. i said gently, near his ear.

Uro:-With all the respect, I can't---

Me: -I'm sorry then...

I grabbed his face in my hands and made him look into my eyes. My eyes lit up, Uro seeing this, was surprised. After a few seconds, he fell to the ground.

Tsukitachi:-Ooooh, hypnosis, I like it!

Me:-Where did you come from?

Tsukitachi:-I come all the time when you don't expect it.

Hirato:-Stop the jokes and help me take Uro to my ship. When he wakes up, we will have a set of questions to ask him.

Bringing Uro to the ship, they tied him to a chair in the main room.

I went to another room to change, because I still had the clothes torn on me.

While some people were tying Uro, a blond-haired boy approached Hirato.

...:-Did I understood correctly? The lady manager behaved dramatically?

Hirato:-Yes. And she did it to lure Uro into the trap. He tried to lure me in because she knew that if I'm not paying attention to Banshees, they are pretty easy to get rid of. After, she hypnotized Uro, making him falling asleep.

...:-I knew it. I knew she was strong, but now she proved that she is also smart.

Hirato smiled in the corner of his mouth, continuing to look at the people who were tying Uro.

After I changed, I headed to the main room.

Seeing the blond boy coming out of the main room, I hurried to get there.

Me:-Yogi, wait!

Yogi:-Huh? Oh, lady manager!

Me:-In what situation is Uro?

Yogi:-They tied him to a chair and Hirato waits for him to wake up to ask his questions.

Me:-I'm the only one who can wake him up.

Yogi: -Ah yes, I forgot!

Yogi was a very open, joking, funny and playful person. He was that kind of person who would create independent jokes just to brighten your day. He knew how to fight with a sword very well.

He let me into the room, heading straight to Uro. I grabbed his face with one hand, looking at his closed eyelids. My eyes gleamed again, Uro slowly opening his eyes.

I stepped aside, leaving Hirato to ask him questions. After a few simple ones, he went straight to the topic.

Hirato: - I managed to get a report of yours. According to that report, you are the strongest in Kafka, even stronger than Palnedo. Why didn't you opposed him?

Uro tried to avoid the question, looking down. But he had no choice.

Uro:-I respect Palnedo very much. I couldn't betray him.

Hirato: -But he wanted to punish you, didn't he?

Uro:-Yes, but I accepted my fate.

Hirato:-Why?

Uro lifted his head from the ground and stared at me. Knowing what he meant, I panicked a bit.

Hirato:-Answer!

Uro: -I deserved it. Because I started to have feelings for the enemy person.

My eyes widened, without knowing what to say. Hirato looked at me, seeing my frightened face.

Me:-Uro...You....

Tears began to flow again, but I didn't allowed them. I couldn't be so weak.

Uro avoided eye contact with us, still looking down.

Hirato:-You fell in love...with our lady director?
