Fantasy Assassin in a modern world-Chapter 163 - Interrogation
163 Interrogation
Loki could not handle seeing his siblings looking so worried, and Alisa actually cried a couple of times, and even Liam looked like he was holding back his tears. Loki had no choice at the time but to sigh and go to the hospital, and now he was in a hospital bed.
...
As he expected after going through a thorough inspection, the doctors found numerous scars, broken bones, and other injuries outside and inside his body. Even with the body of a martial artist, these types of injuries could become fatal if not treated properly. When his siblings heard what the doctor said, Alisa almost fainted, and Liam tightened his grip on his forearms.
Loki wanted to tell them that with the power of mana, even though the injuries won’t fully heal but they would not worsen and become fatal. Loki sighed as he knew that he could never tell anyone in this world about mana since it was a different power than the ones the people in this world use and because of that he might become a subject of experimentation. On the other hand, he also remembered that there were some people like the Alchemist that could use mana but based on what he knew of the other party, if other people don’t do experiments on him he would be treated as some kind of terrorist that was in league with people like the Alchemist.
...
It has been a few days since he was admitted to the hospital. Loki could not use mana to quicken the healing of his body since that would make him look suspicious, so he was limited to using inner energy. It was good that the school alerted him that the students and staff were given several days of free time because of the Gigantes incident.
Due to the excess people flooding into the hospital, visitation was strict his siblings could only visit for a few hours. Matsuri also came but only once since the police were extremely busy during this time, still, among the visitors that came the one standing before Loki was shocking.
“What are you doing here Kira?”
“My Favorite librarian gets admitted into a hospital of course I’ll worry. Not to mention you could become my future brother-in-law.” Kira spoke with a smile on his face.
.....
“Brother-in-law? Let me tell you Kira I might not know who was truly behind my supposed accident, but I know you know something about it.”
“Oh, it breaks my heart that you think that way. There is no proof of my involvement in that incident, and if I were truly somehow part of that accident then you wouldn’t be here talking to me right now.”
The tension in the room was rising and the two looked at each other without blinking. After that very intense stare-off, the first to break the silence was Loki.
“Well, I’ll believe you for now.”
“You really are speaking differently now aren’t you Mr. Librarian... How interesting, did your personality change because you became a martial artist and gained power, or was your personality always like this, and that foolish passive attitude before was just a mask you wear?”
“Everyone wears a mask, but compared to others I see that you have more masks than most people.”
“Is that so?... But I believe that I have always been showing my true face in front of you.”
“... Enough, just tell me why are you here?”
“Didn’t I already answer that question? I already said I came to see how you’re doing.”
“Alright then, you’ve seen me can you go now?”
“What’s the rush, I’ve heard that you sustained a lot of injuries so I brought you some food that could help you recover faster. Hmm, now that I think about it I was wondering how can a librarian such as yourself who only became a martial artist a few months ago suddenly has so many injuries. Some of those injuries are fatal for even higher-ranked martial artists.”
“I got them while I was helping in the Gigantes incident.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“What, do you think I’m lying?”
“Actually yes, either you’ve always been a really good liar, or that’s just how you are. You really are getting more and more interesting. Anyway, I know for a fact that you’re lying. I’m not sure if all of this is just an act of yours or if you really think my abilities are so lowly.” Kira tossed a medical report at Loki who caught it.
“That’s your medical records, it was easy for me to get. It says there that most of your wounds were things you got weeks ago, some were injuries you got a few months ago. It means that most of the wounds you got happened way before the Gigantes incident.”
“...”
“I wonder how does a librarian like you could get such injuries?”
“... Just ask what you want to ask Kira.” Loki knew that Kira already had some suspicions about how strong he was, but as long as he didn’t know he was Fade then it was alright.
When Kira felt the change in Loki’s aura he was surprised, even though he already had some suspicions seeing it for himself was still quite a shock. Kira continued to smile confidently as he asked his next question.
“Tell me what do you know of the kamizaki clan?”
“Kamizaki? You mean my mother’s family, why are you asking such a question?”
Seeing Loki’s reaction Kira wasn’t sure if Loki was trying to trick him or if he was genuinely confused by the question. In Kira’s mind, Loki was a great actor, so it was getting harder to read him, but based on all the subtle movements Loki was making it seems like he really didn’t know anything. 𝗳𝒓e𝚎𝙬𝒆𝙗𝚗o𝙫e𝗹. 𝐜𝐨𝙢
“Do you know nothing about your mother’s clan, Mr. Libririan?”
“... If I said that I know absolutely nothing about either my father or my mother’s family would you believe me?”
Kira stared at Loki watching the changes in his expression.
“Hmm, is that so... Well, then that’s all I need to know. I hope you get well Mr. Librarian.” Kira turned around waved his hand and left. Seeing Kira suddenly leave, Loki had a weird expression on his face.
“What was that all about?”
