Chapter 316 316: Burring the evidence
"Mother, are you saying that this is not an accident that this happened? This is troubling indeed. If this is the case, then I must go and check on what happened as soon as possible. Please wait for me to come back."
Sean spoke with confidence and he did not let anything show on his face. Since his mother was not paying attention to him, Sean quickly got out of the car and headed toward the clearing where he had known that the incident happened.
At first, Sean was willing to kill anyone who had an inkling of what happened here. But he was met with exhausted faces who did not seem to know anything. Many of the people in front of him looked happy to see him.
"M-Master Sean, you are finally here. Hurry, you need to check up on this place and see if you can find anything. We tried our best but we did not find out anything."
The medic exclaimed as her body folded. She looked tired but happy to see Sean here.
Sean felt a twig of guilt in his heart as he looked at all these exhausted faces in front of him. Many of these were a result of what he had done.
But despite that, he was not sorry for killing a man and throwing the body in the middle of the blood butterflies. The experiment had been a success after all.
"I am here to investigate this case. Where is the dead body? Can I look at it?"
Sean asked as he walked toward the clearing. Everyone shared a small look before they giggled.
"Of course, you can look. Here, we will lead you to the body. But we must warn you that it is not a pretty picture you will see."
The lady in charge told Sean and he already knew that it would not be a pretty picture he would look at.
The body was mutilated beyond belief. All the skin was still intact but the body of the person looked as if it had been drained of all their blood. The whole bone structure was not only prominent but also presented a disturbing image.
Everyone except the medic and Sean looked away with an uncomfortable look on their face. They could not keep on looking at the dead body for any longer than this.
"This is…not ideal. This body has been drained of all its blood and it is impossible to tell who this person was before his death."
Sean exclaimed and no one questioned him. Even if it was possible to tell who this person was before his death, Sean would make it impossible to figure it out.
"We should take him into the hospital for now and arrange for a funeral later. My mother asked me to oversee the transfer of these butterfly larvae back to the Tsurugi estate so don't worry about anything and leave it all to me."
Sean explained and everyone looked relieved to not have to deal with these menaces.
A few people looked uncomfortable with this and tried to tell Sean, but they stopped as soon as they noticed the look in his eyes.
Sean's eyes told them to not speak if they valued their lives.
'I never knew that someone's life could look like this as well. I-I want to look away but I am afraid that I would die if I did so.'
Fear gripped the medic as she tried to look away from Sean. but her instincts said that she was in danger and she needed to keep on looking in front of her.
In the end, the one who looked away first was Sean. He formed a barrier around the remaining people around him and tried to give them a calm smile.
"Don't look so put off. I promise that I will take my work seriously."
That much no one doubted. So, they slowly began to head back home one by one until only Sean remained on the scene. As soon as he was alone, Sean took out a small container and separated a few larvae into it. He was going to take it back to study later.

Amane woke up in intervals. Her sense of hearing came back first and then touch. Someone was caressing her face and her chest while also leaning into her. Soft lips pressed against her nose and her cheeks.
But the person who was touching her seemed to not be crossing any boundaries which was a good thing. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire
As soon as they leaned into her more into her, Amane decided to attack and she warped her arms around the person and pulled them down.
A familiar weight rested on her chest and a hand pushed her away.
"Y-Yoko, this is not fair! You must tell me if you are awake or else, I will end up making a fool of myself. Did you understand me?"
Charlie asked as her body weight landed on top of Amane. It was a comfortable and familiar feeling that made Amane feel better. She closed her eyes and almost went to sleep.
"Yoko, wake up. Are you ignoring me now? This girl…seriously!"
Charlie complained but she was also happy to rest her weight on top of Yoko. this felt calm and relaxing for her to experience. She was starting to feel better as well and her strength was returning slowly.
"How are you feeling? You gave me a big fright when you collapsed in front of me. I thought that my heart would just into my throat when I watched you collapse like that."
Charlie complained as she sat beside Amane. Amane's body was feeling much better and the heavy feeling she had been getting up until now was gone from her chest as well.
She was finally able to take a deep breath to calm herself down.
"I am doing much better now. Thank you for asking me this question Charlie. But you do not have to ask me more than once to get the same answer…what about you? How are you feeling?"
Amane asked and Charlie Suzuki had a shocked expression on her face. She tried to say something but the words were stuck in her throat. She did not know what she wanted to say but then she ended up laughing out loud.
"Of course, I am feeling amazing. Why would you expect me to feel anything else otherwise? Anyway, this is not about me but about you. I am glad to see that you are doing better now."
Charlie spoke and her hand softly touched Amane. Charlie was being subtle this time and trying not to scare Amane away. It was such a weird occurrence that it caused Amane to break out into giggles.
"Hey, this is not fair. What do you have to laugh about like this? I did not tell you a joke so stop laughing. Yoko, why are you like this?"
Charlie asked but Yoko just pulled on her back and pulled Charlie on top of her. Their faces were close and Charlie looked enchanted by Amane's lips.
"Well, you knew that I was like this when you started liking me, right? In that case, you should like my behavior as well. So why are you complaining?"
Amane asked and Charlie was left speechless. She opened and closed her mouth a few times to refute, only to realize that she had nothing to refute here.
She liked this kind of behavior Yoko had and she also liked Yoko's insufferable smug expression she had right now.
"You insufferable little…ugh, fine. I will stop complaining and think it all through carefully. Are you happy now?"
Charlie asked and Amane reached out toward her and placed a kiss on Charlie's lips. It took Charlie aback and she looked away in shock. It was such a tender kiss that she could not help but be taken aback.
If she remembered, no one had kissed her this gently ever in her life.
"What's wrong? Was the sweet moment too much for the high and mighty leader of the divine guild? I can make out get used to it if that is what you want."
Amane offered this, noticing how shy and hesitant Charlie had gotten with a single kiss. Charlie looked away as if nothing had happened but the blush on her face was rather prominent.
"I…this is…. this is nothing you need to worry about. I am alright and my face is just red for the sake of being red. Hey, do not look at me like that."
Charlie tried to cover her face but that did not help her out at all. The embarrassment of the earlier kiss had left her reeling.
At first, Charlie decided not to do anything. She did not want to further embarrass herself by acting all weird. But then she thought differently and decided to take a risk. She grabbed Yoko's face and turned it toward her.
"Y-You are the one who decided to start this, Yoko. So, whatever happens from here is on you. And can you do anything about these butterflies as well? They are obstructing me from touching you directly."
Charlie asked with an annoyed look on her face. Amane sighed dramatically but she decided to oblige Charlie this time.
"Of course, dear. I will do anything you ask me to do. Can you give me an empty room for now? I will keep my butterflies in there so that they do not cause us any problems later. Otherwise, I am afraid that some unexpected fool would agitate them and become their victim."
