Fantasy Assassin in a modern world-Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Coincidental

“Big brother, are you really going to invite that guy, to have dinner with us? You do know that he once tried to kill you.”

“I’m not really sure about that.”

Ever since Alisa told Loki of her theory that Kira was the one who pushed him into the road and thus hitting a bus, Loki, of course, tried to investigate the truth of the matter. It would’ve been easier if the memory of that night would return to him, but unlike all the other memories, everything related to that night could not be accessed at the moment, so he needed to do things in a different way.

After looking at the clues he found, the testimonies he heard, and other sources, Loki had a vague suspicion that Kira wasn’t the real culprit. It was true that the kid was cunning and brutally decisive, and most of the evidence did point to him being the culprit. Yet if Kira truly wanted to kill Loki, after knowing that his accident attempt failed he would most likely try to kill Loki while in the hospital. Since that didn’t happen, Loki started to doubt that Kira was the one who wanted him dead. In fact, he wasn’t sure if the other person who pushed him was indeed trying to kill him.

“What are you saying, big brother? Of course, he was the one who did it.”

“And where did you get that information?” 𝑓𝗿e𝐞𝓌𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟e𝙡. c𝚘𝚖

“... Ah... But... He was the only one that had the motive, and the day you got hit, he was actually smiling as he spoke to me. Not only that many people said that you were the last person who spoke to him before you got hit. Many even said that you were having an argument with him.”

.....

“Those are nothing but hearsay, we cannot judge people so quickly.”

“But-”

“We’ll talk about this at a later date, I won’t force you to get along with him, but for now I just want you to at least try not to be so angry at him.”

Loki patted Alisa’s head as he said those words. Alisa looked at her big brother while pouting, she didn’t want to eat with Kira but after hearing what her big brother said she felt like she at least needed to try.

“Fine, I’ll do my best.”

“Now that’s the little sister I’m so proud of.”

...

The group waited for Liam to arrive, once Liam was there the group was ready to set off, but before they left Kira’s two companions had something to say.

“Sorry about that, it seems that these two have something else to do today and won’t be able to join us.”

“Are you sure, can’t they just do whatever that is some other time?”

When Loki said those words, the two subordinates look like they wanted to say something when they looked at Kira and stopped.

“You heard what Sir Loki said, what do you guys think?” Kira asked with a smiling face.

“Sorry but I really can’t, I have a ton of things I need to finish back home.” The guy spoke while bowing his head.

“I can’t go as well, I already agreed to meet someone later and can’t reschedule.”

“Is that so...”

After giving their reasons and saying their goodbyes the two left the group at the school gate. As the group was walking to the restaurant they caught the attention of the surrounding people. Seeing as their group was a group which had four of the most famous students in the school, the others couldn’t help themselves as they stared at the unusual group.

Even though every one of them wanted to get close and join the group, they couldn’t as two of the most intimidating students were also present in the group. The two being Kira and Shin. These two were not only from powerful clans but they were also among the most powerful students in the school, making them ten times more intimidating together...

As the group was nearing the restaurant, Loki felt a familiar presence nearby and as he turned around it was as he expected Matsuri was running towards him.

“It really is you and you’re with-” Matsuri stopped when she noticed someone she didn’t expect to see within the group of people. The smile and excitement on her face disappeared and were quickly replaced with a frown.

“Oh, if it isn’t Matsuri-nee-chan. It’s been such a long time, how are you?”

“So it really is you, Kira... What are you doing here?” Matsuri’s voice suddenly turned into an indifferent one which surprised Alisa and Liam.

“Well, Sir Loki here invited me and the others for a meal. So Matsuri-nee-chan knows Sir Loki as well, now that’s a surprise.”

“I told you many times before Kira, I don’t like it when you lie like that.”

“What do you mean?”

“... I hate it when you do that, making a face as if you don’t understand a thing despite understanding everything. I already told you before that you better stop lying in front of me, or else.”

As the atmosphere between the two was getting even more intense as they stared at each other. After a while, Kira sighed as he shrugged his shoulders.

“Fine, I’ll stop.”

“Hmph, you should’ve done that from the start.”

“Umm... How do you two know each other?” Alisa who was finally able to enter their conversation asked the question most of them had. Matsuri finally remembered that the others were present and as she looked at their curious expressions she sighed before answering.

“This sly kid that’s full of lies and knows nothing but deceit is my cousin, the son of my father’s older brother.”

Alisa, Liam, and even Loki were shocked by this revelation while Michael and Shin were a bit confused as they didn’t even know who Matsuri was.

“You could say I’m her little brother.”

“You’re no brother of mine, you stinking brat.”

“Why must you always be so aggressive Nee-chan, this is why the guys keep on distancing from you, and you can never get a boyfriend.”

“W-w-what are you saying?!” Matsuri shouted and casually glanced at Loki, it was just for a brief moment but Kira was able to catch that detail.

‘Oh now, this is interesting.’ Kira smiled mischievously, the other people might not have noticed the difference between his usual smile and the current one, but Matsuri knew.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking about, but you better stop.”

“Hmm, I wonder... So Sir Loki, what’s your relationship with my dear big sis, it seems like you two know each other.”

Matsuri glared at Kira as if saying ‘What the f*ck are you asking?! You already know the answer but you still dare ask!’, while Kira simply ignore the glaring cousin of his.

“Well, she’s a friend.”

“That’s it?”

“That’s all, what else should it be?”

When Matsuri heard Loki’s reply she looked a bit defeated but it was only for a moment before she quickly regained her composure. On the other hand, Kira snickered as he observed Loki, Matsuri, Alisa, and Liam’s reactions.

‘I see, so that’s how it is, this might be a more fun dinner than I initially thought.’

While they were having their conversation, Michael and Shin were watching at the side still confused about what was happening.
