Chapter 368 - Time Keeper- Part 3
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Everyone stared at Barron unable to believe that the Fourth Grim would do something like this. Belle had heard about the timekeeper's existence from Lucas-- how important it was to have the person and Barron sent the reaper to take a vacation? That was like asking the sun to go on a vacation to not know when it would be back to bring the day again.
Barron who was standing on Belle's shoulder jumped down on the ground.
"Will you reap him or should I do it?" asked Greed looking at Lucas.
The rabbit gave an incredulous look at Greed, "Why would he do something like that?"
"I will do it myself," Lucas said and pulled out his scythe from his back, staring at the rabbit as he was not happy about what he just heard. It was because of Barron there were fluctuations in the time when it came to picking up the souls. Some souls released themselves faster from the body and some moved ahead in time. It was also a possible reason why Lucas had been alarmed eleven years ago because of this little thing.
Barron quickly moved away from the Grims who looked like they wanted to tear his cotton body, "Hello people! You aren't thinking about harming this innocent me, are you? How would I know that the timekeeper wouldn't return?"
"Why does everyone keep pulling their scythe's instead of talking to each other?" asked Anne, her eyes widened who had started to have a soft corner at the rabbit.
"We are reapers. That is what we do," Greed answered, a chuckle escaping his lips as his eyes turned from black to blue and he grinned by thinking that Barron was going to be punished. The rabbit had been getting on his nerves but he couldn't do anything until then.
"Look! Look! I didn't even know she would be taking a really long long vacation. I just meant an hour or day off!" exclaimed Barron who pulled out his scythe as Lucas and Wrath had their scythes out and even Greed joined them.
Greed chuckled, "Didn't you say 'vacation'?"
"Stop pouring oil into the fire dumbhead!" Barron scolded Greed.
Lucas's eyes narrowed at Barron, "How did you forget to mention about this?" he asked, "Do you know why I ended up as a fallen Grim?"
Barron took four steps away from them when they got near him, his hands played with each other at the front, and the rabbit looked at the side, "Mm because you were fated to be with Belle? I say, nothing beats true love if-AHHH!" Barron screamed when Lucas' scythe came right near him and the rabbit jumped away from there, "Okay okay! It is possible that it was because of that time skip that your soul went back in. I told you I didn't know it would turn this bad!"
Belle raised her hand to cover her face. All this time, they had a misconception that it was Winston, one of the Hawverts who had tried to play with time but here was the truth.
"Perhaps, we should burn the rabbit," suggested Greed and Belle's eyes narrowed.
"I will be the one you will be facing if you burn it," warned Belle. She would not let anything happen to Mr. Fluffs body.
"I would like to see that! Me and you," said Greed, turning his body, "What do you say Lucas? To see if the girl is fit to be a reapers-" CLUNK! Lucas had used the other end of his scythe to hit Greed's head.
"Don't touch Belle. I will not think twice to send you to the dead."
Greed smiled, showing his perfect lined teeth, "I was joking. No harm done here," he said but at the same time looked at Belle as if he was waiting to hunt her. Belle felt it would have been better if it was a girl and not on a Grim reaper who was trying to show that he was better than her in the eyes of Lucas.
When Lucas was talking to Greed, Barron took his time to open the front door and slip out of the mansion, "Phew that was a close one!" said the rabbit before starting to run so that the Grim reapers he had been living with wouldn't reap him from the land of the living.
"He ran away," said Belle when she noticed the empty space. Lucas' scythe disappeared and she asked him, "Were you really going to reap him?"
"For what he did, yes but I guess it is the timekeeper's fault who didn't bother to return back or thought it was okay to do so. We need to find the timekeeper to fix the time," said Lucas, pulling out his pocket watch that was made in the land of the dead to show how much time a mortal had, "It is not about Hawverts but the souls will end up lost and corrupt. If the souls are filled in the land of the dead, their existence will start spilling into the living. It would be nothing less to what Winston wants. The land of the living and the dead won't have any difference."
They then heard the sound of the glass clink. Belle saw it was Edith, "Is there any more question you have, Miss Adams?" asked Edith to her.
"That is all for now," Belle said shaking her head and the woman gave her a nod.
Edith then turned to look at Wrath and Lucas, "I will be going to the land of the dead as the Hawverts have summoned me to be there. I don't think Edgar and Moore will be hanging here for long but that doesn't mean they won't be returning. And I might not be able to help you either and we won't be having the same relation as now but you both know that already."
"Thanks for your help so far," replied Lucas. Edith walked through the door but once she stepped out of the mansion, she apparated from there in a blink of an eye.
Anne asked Wrath, "What did she mean by not having the same relation as now?"
"There will be a possible fight between the Grims and the fallen ones," replied Wrath.
