Tino, was been curious of what Mark Corine asked for, became speechless in silence.
" What? Is there's something a matter? I know that you liked her so much but somehow... "
But Jennah interrupted, said in a serious tone voice manner " I guess we are finally here, guys. "
They stopped by in a village, and they were surprised when they saw each of the houses were burned completely into pieces.
" Oh, my.. what was in the world was going on here in this place? " Hender wondered, with a shockness on his face
" I thinked that the army of Lieutenant Margeret was responsible for this, I guess. " Pobo said
Jennah went down from her horse and she started to walked in. Tino, had been silent for the whole time, was hesitated, said to her " Where are you going, Jennah? "
" I'm going in inside, to check if there some evidences that it was left behind by the enemy. I'll be back in a few minutes. You guys must wait and don't ever follow me, okay? "
" Oh, okay... " with a little upset expression on his face
And she walks out, leaving the group behind.
" Do you think she will gonna handled this on her own? " Valerie asked Mica
" Perhaps it is.. " Mica replied
Tino, turned his head, facing to Mark " Um, I need to say to you something. "
" Yes, what is it? "
" Well.. the truth is that... " nodded his head for a few seconds and after that he responded, raised his head " the truth is that.. I do really liked Jennah so much... for real.. "
Mark was surprised of what he had said.
" It does so? I guess you had finally confessed the truth somehow. But I have one more thing that I need to asked for you, Tino Feriner. "
" Yes, and what is it? "
" Haven't you heard the incident in the country Japan 10 years ago? "
" What incident did you say? " with curiosity on his face
" The incident that Lieutenant Margeret had been invaded a rural village, not far from one of the cities in Japan. Also, she along with her fellow army had tortured people and somehow, kidnapped male children, treated them as a slaves. "
" Yeah, what about it? "
" But according of what I heard from my mentor last time, he said that one of the male slaves had been escaped from the facility headquarters and the armies had been chasing him but they didn't find him anywhere. And so, they believe that the boy was already dead... but I'm not so sure but it was just only a rumor... "
This makes Tino was started to acted so very dense.
Mark went on " I do believe that the boy was looks like you, Mr Feriner. But I was wondering why the lieutenant wants that boy... maybe she have some hidden plans for him... but I'm not so sure... "
Tino was been silent once again. The others turned their heads, facing at him.
" What's wrong, Tino? You looked so dense that much? Are you sick? " Hender asked
He didn't replied back, still silent.
" Maybe he was getting worried for Jennah... for real... " Mica said
" Hey, Mark. Do you say anything stupid to him, aren't you? " Pobo asked, with a little anger on his face
" No, I did not! I was just asking if he knows about the incident in Japan 10 years ago. But somehow, when I said about the missing boy that the lieutenant had targeted with... he was started to feel dense... I wondered why.. " Mark responded
" Hold on... are you referring to a boy named Ruri Ishimura? " Valerie asked him
Tino was a little bit shocked of what she had asked to him.
" Oh, yeah... I had been heard a rumor that he had been experienced incest relationships before he was been taken by the lieutenant. " Hender said
" But the question is.. is he was still alive out there? " Pobo wondered
" I'm not so sure... if he was still alive.. the armies might searched for him.. and bring him to her. " Mark stated
Then, Tino's head was started to getting aching, placed his hand on his forehead.
" Are you alright? " Mark asked
" Yeah, I'm fine... really... just a little bit headache... " Tino responded, covered his forehead with his hand
" I guess there's something fishy about him... he was acting a little bit strange whenever mentioning Ruri Ishimura's name... I have to kept eye on him... just to make sure... " Pobo thought on his mind
After a few minutes, Jennah went back to the group.
" So... do you find anything? " Mica asked her
" No, no clues at all.. but I saw some dead corpses that it was laid down on a large hole, near by the river stream. " Jennah responded
" dead corpses, it is? " Mark asked, with shocking expression on his face
" Yes, maybe Lieutenant Margeret had been killed and tortured them into pieces." Jennah said
" You mean that there is no survivors at all? " Pobo asked
" No, not a single one.. I guess this is more like a huge massacre.. " Jennah said
" So, do you have any plans? I guess that Margeret had already know your true plan motive... to tracked you down... " Valerie asked
" I know that... but somehow she will never get away this time... to fulfilled my goal... in killing my family... I swear... I will destroyed her at all cost.. " Jennah said, with a mad expression on her face, gripped both of her hands
" We had understood of what you truly feel with, Jennah. But we need a specific plan to tracked her down. " Pobo said
" I think Pobo got the point there. " Hender said
Jennah, sees Tino was speechless, had been quiet for the whole time.
She went approached to him, asked " Are you alright, Tino? "
" Yes, I'm fine... really... "
" You looked so doubted. Is there's something bothered on your mind? "
" Not at all. It was not very important that much. After all, I was started to getting worried about you, Jennah. That's all. "
" Oh, I see... " and she turned to her friends " Well... we must keeped head off... from every villages. "
" Are you really satisfied about that, Jennah? " Mica asked
" Don't worry. We have to prepared ourselves just in case there were some dangers to come.. I think Lieutenant Margeret thinks the same way... but somehow... I can't let her to get away from this... " Jennah stated in response
" Well, if you say so... then let's keep going then. " Valerie said
And the group continues walking, going to the next village. Meanwhile in a bar, Lieutenant Margeret was drinking a whisky on a glass. She holds it with her hand, with amusement on her face, recalled of her first encounter with Ruri 10 years ago and after that, she thinks on her mind " Somehow... I will never gave up on finding you, my dear Ruri... you will never get away from me for real... after all, you are the most gorgeous man in the whole world that I ever met with... I just wanted to crave and hold you, my darling... " with a sadistic expression on her face
But then, one of her soldiers went approached to her.
She turned her back, faced to him " What is all the ruckus? "
" Big bad major problem, Lieutenant. "
" What's it? "
" The famous bounty hunter, Jennah Hexar had been arrived in the next town. "
" Say what?! She was in there?! " with shocking expression on her face
" I might be thinking that she was investigating a crime or perhaps in short... in order to tracked you down. "
Getting mad in furious, the lieutenant walks out of the bar.
" Hey! Wait up, Lieutenant. "
As she walks, she thought " You will never dare to ruined my plans, Jennah Hexar.. mark my words... " and she went up on her own horse and she went off, leaving the soldier was very anxious
Back when, the group had finally reached to an another town. As they arrived in, they decided to stay for the night at the house inn.
Later that night in the room, Tino was looking at the window, watching the night skies. He feels dizzy again for the second time, tapped his hand on his forehead, covered it.
" What's this? I think my mind flowing through something... what's the matter with me... somehow... all those happenings from the past... but why? "
His dizziness was gone when Jennah went in the room. She went approached to him.
" Are you feeling sick? "
" No, I'm fine, Jennah... don't worry about me. It was just a little headache. "
" Oh, I guess you are acting a little bit weird. "
" acting weird? Uh, it wasn't. "
" I think you should get some rest. We had been travelling for long hours. "
" Yeah... " nodded his head a little bit " I guess you are right but one more thing that I need to request from you. "
" What is it? "
" Can you give me a good night kiss before I went to sleep? "
" Huh? Why I should do that for you? "
" please... just once... please... "
The two are looking at each other faces, in a romantic manner. After a few seconds, she touched his face through her hand, went closer and she kissed him on the lips, and also she hold him tightly on around on his waist with her other hand.
The early in the morning, the group leaved the inn house.
" So.. shall we continued investigating, Jennah? " Pobo asked her
" Sure thing. We need to find more evidences and asked some other neighborhood around. " Jennah responded
They continued walking but when they reached to the next edge of the village, they were surprised that Lieutenant Margeret was arrived, riding on her own horse, making them to stopped.
When Jennah sees her, her facial expression was getting madder than usual, filled with rage and fury.
" So.. Miss Jennah Hexar... I had never anticipated that you will gonna come here for investigating a crime, huh? Just go and leave this place at once. You will never do anything in here. "
" You... you had killed and tortured many innocent people.. is because of your selfish evil desires.. you are no such a human... a monster... a demon... a real monster! " with fit of anger on her face
" I knew that you are started to hate at me, huh? Make sense, after you will gonna died in her-"
She didn't finished of she will gonna say when she sees Tino, and she was surprised in astonished, making Hender, Pobo, Mica and Valerie and including Mark turned their faces at him, paying attention, wondering.
" So.. the son of the admiral mayor of Mr Robert Feriner, named Tino, isn't it? It was a great pleasure to meet you, my dear. " with amusement on her face
Tino was surprised of what she had said, making Jennah was getting curious of what she doing.
Finally, Jennah and Lieutenant Margeret had faced with each other for the very first time. Also, Tino was started to developed a little bit dizziness, didn't know that it was actually his terrible and traumatic childhood past as Ruri Ishimura, whom the lieutenant was searching for all those years.
