Playing With Other Supernaturals

Volume 4 Chapter 156 - Too Vigilant

Kisuke and Yoruichi kept talking and planning for the near future, but Medusa couldn't make sense of what they are talking about.

It's not that the words coming from their mouths are hard to understand, it's just that their statements are too unbelievable that they might as well be dreaming. Without much choice, Medusa just copied Claire and started eating without a care in the world.

After eating, Medusa feels so much better due to her restored Mana, though she's still pretty weak because of her wrecked body.

Cleaning up the table, Yoruichi and Claire exited the room again leaving only Kisuke and Medusa to talk again.

"Ana-san, how are you feeling?" Kisuke went back to speaking Japanese when he figured that she could understand it.

"…Much better…" Medusa started fidgeting, opening and closing her mouth trying to say something.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Kisuke pulled out a set of tea and put one in front of Medusa.

"Uhmm… Thank you very much!" Following the Japanese tradition, Medusa bowed down in front of Kisuke. She wanted to do a dogeza but she wasn't sure if that's appropriate.

Kisuke chuckled and replied, "Hahaha, No need to be so formal. I just patched you up and I would get my payment later."

"I'm thankful for that too, but that's not what I'm referring to."

"Not that? Ah… you mean those two little girls inside you?" Kisuke then took out some cookies and started munching on them.

"Yes… that… Wait! How did you know how they look like!?" A possibility then emerges in Medusa's mind. Without thinking much about it, Medusa flared up her Mana and materialized a Harpe connected to a chain. At first, she wanted to attack Kisuke, but regardless of what he did, he still helped her survive so she decided to direct her attack to the windows to break the barrier.

She pushed her body to the limits again and she ended up coughing blood. Medusa threw her Harpe with all her power but to her dismay, it only bounced off, 'Such a strong barrier?'

Gritting her teeth, Medusa grabbed her Harpe again and put up a stance while facing Kisuke. Vigilance and hate are emitting from her.

Kisuke, meanwhile, just watched her actions while calmly sipping on his tea, 'What's up with her now? Well, I guess it's good that she's energetic?'

Without much choice, Medusa opened her mouth as she couldn't stand his stare and silence, "You… Did you go through my memories?"

Kisuke slowly put down his cup of tea, "Oh… So that's you're concerned about. Don't worry, I didn't go through your memories."

"…Then how?" Medusa abated some of her hateful aurae but her vigilance spiked up instead, 'Did he hypnotized me while I was asleep that I ended up telling him my secrets?'

"Think about it, I can tell that there are souls within you, so it isn't impossible that I can also see what they look like." Kisuke spoke calmly as he analyzes the situation, 'Her reaction about her memories is weird. Looks like the secret she's carrying is bigger than I thought. Well, considering the state of her soul, that much is normal, I guess? But one thing is for sure, those so-called Gods are the one responsible.' He didn't show it outwardly, but remembering Ana's soul state makes him very angry as a Shinigami who guides the souls to their rest.

Medusa didn't speak and just stared at him. Kisuke didn't know what she's thinking but he continued speaking, "I don't care about your past whether you're a monster or whatever. I'll judge you base on what I will see from you." He didn't really know what to say, but he guessed that she reacted that way because she didn't want to be judged based on her previous actions.

After a minute or two, Medusa cleared her head and dematerialized her Harpe, 'Thinking about it, he wouldn't have that kind of reaction if he truly saw my memories. He might even kill me outright if he knew my true form.'

Medusa slowly stood up and bowed down again, "I'm very sorry. I rashly jumped into a conclusion." After saying her piece, the pain she has been ignoring came back all at once. She staggered forward and was about to fall when Kisuke suddenly appeared in front of her and caught her.

"You really like pushing yourself to limits, huh? Just what sort of life did you lead until now?" Kisuke assisted and led her to the bed.

Due to her tired mind, Medusa ended up letting out a bit of her frustration. She smiles wryly and said, "Not a very good one… I wished I wasn't born." Medusa then loses consciousness again.

"You might not have a very good life, but I think those two would disagree with your wish as they kept protecting you even after death," Kisuke muttered.

As if she heard him in her sleep, Medusa's wry smile change into a bit happy one.

After putting a blanket over her and casting some healing Kidou on her, Kisuke left the room. He couldn't use the 'Rejecting' token anymore as it is already broken and he hasn't found a chance to make one again so he could opt for these basic healing techniques.

Yoruichi and Claire are playing some kind of board game and are enjoying themselves, while Cleria and Masaomi are busy taking some calls.

Kisuke joined Yoruichi and Claire until Cleria approached them, "How is the girl doing?"

"She's too vigilant. Even though she acts calm most of the time, when you touch some specific topic, she'll react violently." Kisuke replied.

"I see…" Cleria then looked at Yoruichi who's playing happily with Claire.

Understanding what she meant, Yoruichi grabbed Claire's attention, "I'm tired of this! Let's play hide and seek! I'll start counting, 1… 2… 3…" Yoruichi covered her eyes as she starts counting.

"That's unfair!" Claire protested but she immediately stood up and ran somewhere to hide.

With Claire out of the picture, Cleria started reporting, "Half of the Perseus Clan's manpower is searching the seas and the surrounding islands and coastal areas for something."

"They're searching for Ana, alright? And do you know why they are searching for her?"

"… We know what they want from her…" Cleria crumpled her face as she's also confused at the information she and Masaomi got.

"What?"

"A quest for the current direct descendants of Perseus. Whoever who can kill the girl they are searching for will become the head of the clan."

"…Just for what reason? What did this Ana do to get that kind of recognition from an ancient family?"

"That… we are still combing through our channels to see if we can get more information regarding that. But it seems to be a top-secret of the Perseus Clan as even if we 'ask nicely' one of their members who is a known criminal, he didn't give us any substantial information."

Yoruichi uncovered her eyes and looked at Kisuke, "What are you going to do now?"

"For now… Let's just wait and see. Remember that this isn't our problem, so we don't really want to help that much. I want to see how are they going to find her and where would this story goes. And if the Gods really appear, that's where I will enter the stage for real." Kisuke then thank Cleria for everything she has done.
