Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 636 First Advancement of the World

Chapter 636 First Advancement of the World

Kisuke had started walking away when he felt the monitoring on them disappear. "I'll leave these guys to you.", he said before disappearing with Flash Step.

From her storage, Sona started taking out potions and distributed them to others, "Let's stop their bleeding. This should give them enough time for the medical team to tend to their wounds once they arrive."

For these people who were enduring immense pain, the girls looked like spirits that appeared in their time of distress. The fact that their Familias would be disbanded after this had already left their mind.

A certain distance away from the castle ruins, Kisuke appeared in front of Medusa and looked beside her to see a tied-up man. The familiar man was already unconscious when Kisuke arrived and Medusa said, "It's as you expected. He tried to escape."

"People like this guy who only think about profit are easy to read. They may look smart, but they are very easy to control.", replied Kisuke before grabbing the Captain of the Soma Familia who had joined Apollo's side without Soma's knowledge.

"I'll take it from here, so return for now." Kisuke was about to leave when he recalled something and took out a bag from his storage, "By the way, I took some time to gather some cookbooks and ingredients from all over the world when I was on the other side. Everything is in here so you can ask Sona... No... Not Sona. You can ask either Irina or Claire to translate it for you."

Medusa's purple eyes shone at the sight of the bag. After grabbing it, she held it dearly within her bosom. After experiencing her new life for a few months now, there were a few enjoyable things that she'd found, and one of those was cooking.

At first, she became Kisuke's maid solely because she wanted to return at least some of the favor she'd received. Medusa never really thought that she'd enjoy seeing people smile at her cooking and it was only recently that she discovered why. It was because it reminded her of the happy times she had with her older sisters, "I'll be sure to serve grandly for this victory~!"

Kisuke chuckled and patted her small head, "I'll be looking forward to that."

He then disappeared along with Zanis.

After the announcement of the Hestia Familia's victory, Hestia slowly approached Apollo and his cohorts with a menacing smile, "Apollo and the rest of you~ You know what to do, right?"

Their faces paled even more as Hestia closed in on them, "H-Hestia... Forgive us! We promise that we'll never do something like this again!"

Similar words of defeat and asking for forgiveness came from the other Gods, hoping that Hestia would take pity on them and reduce their punishment.

But Hestia's smile remained and said, "Eh? But I have a way to make sure something like this won't ever happen again, even without you promising anything~?"

At that moment, all of them became hopeless as Hestia continued her words with a rageful expression, "All of you shall have your assets confiscated and expelled from Orario, never setting foot in this place again!"

Hestia then started walking away with a harrumph from their wailing voices. But just as she was about to exit the room, she stopped walking when she heard one of them speaking with a creepy laugh, "Hehehe... Hestia. You can't be thinking that you can really kick us out of Orario, right?"

Hestia turned towards them with a frown and asked, "What do you mean? Are you planning to break the agreement that you yourselves set?"

"You may take our assets, but you can't kick all of us out. If it's just Apollo, then you're very welcome, but if you are going to include us, you'll first have to talk to the Guild."

Hestia's frown deepened and she looked towards the Guild Chief, Royman, who just came to mediate between the two sides. He seemed to be hesitating about something and she could tell that he was agreeing with the Deity, "And why would that be?"

"It's a city-wide problem.", replied Hephaestus, "I already knew that they were going to leverage this, so it's really going to be hard to kick out everyone else aside from Apollo."

With the obvious question mark on her face, Loki decided to explain it further, "Their Familias combined are big enough to cause some major problems in the city's economy. It's not just about the Adventurers that may choose to follow them when they leave, but also the connections they have outside Orario."

"Aside from Magic Stones and drop items, Orario still imports most of its commodities from the outside and it's actually Familias of their sizes who are the ones taking care of that. If they left, a recession may happen if they were to use those connections to pressure Orario."

'So it's about money, huh?', thought Hestia and finally understood the situation. Even then, she didn't want to let them go, not after they'd all joined up to bully a small Familia like hers. If it wasn't for Kisuke and the others, the ending would have been very different with no one even remembering her Familia after the event.

But just as Hestia didn't know what to do, Kisuke's guild advisor suddenly arrived and approached Royman, "Royman-sama, please take a look at this."

"Not now, Sophie! I'm in a tough spot right now!", replied Royman with impatience.

Without minding his attitude, Sophie continued, "This should solve our problem."

"Hmm?" Royman became curious and took the paper from Sophie's hand and gave it a quick read.

A few seconds later, his eyes widened and after a few minutes more passed, Royman silently folded the paper and regained his serious expression before asking Sophie, "Is this true?"

"Yes. I've received it from the man himself earlier. It seems that he already expected this situation." Even Sophie couldn't believe the contents of the note that Kisuke had given her. When she first read it, it didn't make any sense and she was confused about why he wanted to present it to the Gods.

However, the moment the Humvee was revealed, she instantly understood that it was preparation for something. Understanding the current situation now, everything clicked in her head and she admired Kisuke's grasp in their situation.

Clearing his throat, Royman announced, "Since Hestia-sama has already decided, the Guild will be enforcing her terms. Apollo-sama and his allies shall have all their assets confiscated and the Deities to be expelled from Orario."

"W-what!!? Royman! What are you saying! You can't decide this! Go get Ouranos' words first! And I assure you, a decision like this is a mistake!"

"That's right! Not only will this be revoked later, but you'll also lose your position!"

"And what's that note you received!? Why did you change your stance after reading it!?"

Royman answered the Deities last question, "It's a Guild affair and can't be disclosed to anyone right now."

"What was that!? Why can't you tell us the reason why you suddenly agreed with Hestia!?"

With her ears ringing from all the barking of the loser Deities, Loki finally had enough and interrupted, "Will you shut it? The decision has already been made and you guys should start packing your things."

"This has nothing to do with you, Loki!"

Sighing, Loki continued while facing Royman, "Let me guess. That message came from Kisuke Urahara, didn't it? And its content should be somewhere around the line of him willing to negotiate the production method of that strange carriage and its distribution."

Royman flinched but he answered, "As I said, it's a Guild affair that can't be revealed to the public. Please excuse us. Sophie, let's go."

Royman immediately left with Sophie but the reaction he gave more or less confirmed Loki's words. And if that was true, getting the production method of an item that could revolutionize how the people of this world traveled, would also become the sharpest sword that Orario could use to destroy any economical pressure that others could put on it.

Who would want to pressure Orario at the risk of not getting such a wondrous item?
