Chapter 298 298: Retrieving the data [pt1]

Dante managed to keep his calm expression in his room. But as soon as he entered his room, he looked at the people behind him and he panicked. He could not believe what had just happened and why it happened to him.

"W-What are you both doing here? Oh no! Am I in trouble? But I do not remember doing anything worth getting into trouble over."

Dante could not remember anything he had done. And that was the problem - he could not remember. But there must have been something that caused these two to come and find him.

"Calm down Dante. I did not lie when I said that I came here to find you because you stopped picking up your phone. You are not in trouble. There is something we want you to investigate."

Sakura brought out the small recording camera from her huge purse. Dante looked surprised to see these recordings and he grabbed them with hesitant hands.

"These recordings are what we want you to retrieve for us. You will be paid extra for every hour you manage to retrieve. There are about 24 hours of corrupted data in here."

Sakura explained and Dante's eyes shined with glee. He was suddenly spirited and ready to do anything he was asked to do.

"Alright, I will get working on these recordings. It will require me about half a day to do anything so you can come back tomorrow to take these recordings back. I will have them at ready."

Dante had looked at these recordings and they were a mess to clean up. But he was sure that he would be able to clean them up quite well.

Sakura looked relieved when she heard these words and she beamed up at Dante. Her face was still even after her illusionary transformation and Dante felt his cheeks burn.

Then, his eyes moved from Sakura to the other female who accompanied her. Dante did not know who she was, but her presence made Dante look down in submission. There was something majestic and powerful about her.

He did not even get to ask who she was before Sakura dragged her out of the house and waved back at him.

"We will come tomorrow to get our thing. Please keep your phone 'no' and I will call you before I visit."

Sakura promised and Dante sighed in relief. Finally, she was gone and his mother would stop giving him those expecting looks.

"Whatever you are thinking about, this is not it."

Dante admitted but his mother only sighed in return. She did not seem to believe Dante's words at all.

"Love is a precious thing and I was so afraid that you would never get to experience it in your life. So, which one was your girlfriend? The spirited one or the one with the calm look on her face? Which one should I call my daughter-in-law?"

Dante looked at his mother and her overbearing personality. He knew that she would not leave him alone if he did not say some bullshit.

"None of them are girlfriends. I prefer golden eyes and exquisite beauty as my partner. Now please, leave me alone."

Dante based his looks on an unlikely combination. Golden eyes were rare and only a handful of people had them. What were the chances of running into someone with such a combination of features?

So, Dante quickly got to work and cleaned up the files. He did not look too deeply into it and did as he was asked to.

He did not even notice when the sunset and the time passed. But it was already evening and Dante's karmic words decided to catch up to him.

...…....….

"Why do I have to wear such stupid clothes and change my face? I am a fully grown adult, why do I have to act so much younger than I am."

Amane found it funny how acting like a kid was what triggered Dante out of everything that could have triggered him.

Currently, Amane had dressed up as a teenager and Cardin acted as her younger brother. She had thought of just calling Dante at first to have him retrieve the data, but then she thought better.

It was likely that her calls from this safe home were being recorded and could be used later. She did not want to get caught breaking the rules.

So, they both snuck out of the house and headed toward Dante's face.

"You need to act like a kid. Unlike most people, Dante's mother is a little bit delusional and thinks that humans are the only species on earth. We do not want her to break down when we are here."

Amane reminded the dwarf and he suddenly looked interested in Amane's words.

"Ah, she has 'that' disease as well, huh? I wonder why some humans deny the facts that are right in front of their eyes. It's almost as stupid as believing that the earth is flat."

Professor Cardin seemed triggered and Amane tried her hardest to hold her giggles back. But she was unable to do so in the end.

"Oh, let it be. We are finally here so let's head in now."

Amane knocked at the door of Dante's house and his mother opened the door. Despite seeing her for the first time officially, Amane could tell that this was Dante's mother.

She looked every bit like Dante and even gave reactions like her son. But unlike Dante, she had not received any gift and she was also delusional.

"Golden eyes! Oh m-my! Who are you? Can I help you out?"

The first words were spoken in an almost whisper and Amane tensed up before she realized that her charm was snapped into place.

"Hello, Aunty. I am Dante's schoolmate. Can you let him know that I am here? I am so sorry to be disturbing you like this."

Amane bowed in front of Dante's mother and she gasped in shock before she snapped out of the daze she was in and looked Amane up and down.

"You just wait here, dear. I will go and call Dante out right now."

The elder lady disappeared and Dante ran down the stairs at record speed. His chest hurt but he wanted to greet Yoko himself.

"L-Lady Y…I mean Amane, what a surprise to see you here. Come in. MOM, WE ARE GOING TO MY ROOM."

Dante's mother was surprised to see him in such a hurry. He had never acted like this before and that made her suspicions about this girl even stronger.

'Ah, she must be the girl Dante likes. She even matches the characteristics he spoke about. I need to take good care of her.'

Dante's mother reached these conclusions herself but no one could blame her for this. On the other hand, Dante was beyond nervous to have Yoko Tsurugi in front of him. His employer had come to meet him suddenly.

As soon as they reached Dante's room, Yoko opened her purse and brought out a broken but small drive.

"Do you think you can retrieve all the data in here and copy it into an extra drive? My 'friend' here really wants it back."

Amane handed the data drive to Dante and he took a quick look with his powers. It was possible to retrieve the data and it was easy enough to do as well.

"Yeah, I can do that. How soon do you want me to do it?"

Dante asked as he started the process. This time, Amane was not the one who answered, but the young kid did. He was likely Dante's client this time.

"As soon as you can retrieve it. And don't you dare look at any of the data, do you understand me?"

Whosoever this kid was, he was rude and beyond annoying. If not for Yoko, Dante would have never done him this favor.

As Dante was busy retrieving the data, Amane started to look around and soon found the recording devices Sakura had brought to get fixed.

She picked one up and watched it though. It showed Elios Tsurugi visiting the ceremony space in the middle of the night and doing something. The next two cameras were the same but the last one was different.

It showed the shadow of someone for a few seconds before a face flashed across the screen. For a few seconds, Amane could not help but find that face very familiar. It reminded her of a small kid she had looked after.

'But maybe it's a coincidence that this face looks familiar. I am sure the kid I know is dead. After all, unlike my other kids, Chen had been human and he was also sickly.'

Chen had been a genius but he also had the fate of being an ordinary human. And no matter how much a human struggles, the lifespan of their species is limited.

"Hey! That person on the screen looks so much like the head chief back at the HIVE. It is a pity that no one knew of his name. I also got extremely lucky to be able to see the chief without his mask once. Rumor has it that the chief is immortal and has been around for a long time now."

The dwarf scared Amane by speaking right beside her ear. He looked unaware of what he was doing and what his information did to Amane's mind.

'If this kid has been alive for such a long time, then he cannot be Chen. Or rather, I hope that he is not Chen.'
