"Talking"
'Thinking'
*Actions/Noises*
==============================
In the Dian Cecht Familia Clinic.
Meteria, who was admitted after her illness got worse and made her puke blood due to stress, is now sleeping soundly as the nurses and Airmid observed her condition. Her condition was immediately taken care off because they were there and thanks to Airmid.
Alfia: "Meteria..." Alfia says softly and quietly.
She felt responsible, because of the appearance of the unknown, dangerous person that she let her eyes off Meteria. She blames herself that because of her actions made Meteria worried so much that it caused this.
Sophia: "Alfia... Are you okay?"
But Alfia didn't bother to answer her. She just kept her head low while holding on the Meteria's right hand.
The only people right now in the room with Meteria are Alfia, Hera, Sophia, and Europa. Bell was sent back to the Mansion by Hera, while she stayed behind to watch over Meteria and Alfia.
Hera: "How could it come to this? Why was she outside of her room?" Hera asked calmly.
She wasn't informed about Meteria's wish to explore the Goddess Festival and watch Jason fight in the Arena. That's why she was incredibly frantic and anxious when she heard the news about this. She basically threw everything away and immediately went to the clinic.
Europa and Sophia felt guilty as it was their job to at least inform Hera about this, but they didn't because they felt like Hera would reject it because of Meteria's condition. Which is true as they look at Meteria's sleeping body on the clinic bed.
Alfia: "I'll take full responsibility for everything that has happen. I was the one who suggested Meteria to come out this time to explore the city during the festival."
Hera's face showed a bit of anger but calmed herself down. Knowing that Alfia is lying and it was probably what Meteria pushed on. She just sighed at the events.
Alfia: "Still. I have to address the elephant in the room... About that white haired guy."
Then the whole room became tense. Everyone who was present at the scene could never forget about that person. After all, not only taking a LEVEL 8 in hand to hand combat, he was also able to overwhelm Alfia for a bit. Something is really not right about it.
Level 3's or 4's outside of Orario are incredibly rare, because the Dungeon is the only place in the whole world where people can get the chance to reach that levels, but the outside world are different as the monsters outside are much more weaker than Orario's. Getting to Level 3 is a miraculous event in the outside world.
But this unknown man who just appeared out of nowhere, is comparable to a mid level 8 like Alfia, who was considered a monster of talent by the Gods. and was able to block and over power her magic which she's very proud of.
Europa: "That man is incredibly dangerous. He has abilities we've never seen, and I'm sure he's hiding more than what he showed us. But that Red magic and teleportation is already surprising enough, thinking that He could do more is taking a toll on my mind."
Sophia: "He is very good, and I meant that. His skills to hand to hand combat shows experience in very much life or death situations. And I can tell that he was even holding back."
Hera: "Such praises for that man's abilities... I guess it's not even a question about it. What we can only do now is to find out where he is and bring him in. He is very unknown and could truly be the reason for a huge war here in Orario... And we must subdue him.
Alfia: "I'll do it!" Alfia declared.
Europa and Sophia understands her reasoning, but they can't allow her to. Because she's currently being driven by her emotions.
Hera on the other hand.
Hera: "I will let you, but on the condition that you will not engage in battle with him. After spotting him, you are to get Sophia or Europa to confront this man."
Alfia: "What? Are you saying that I'm weak that I can't do it on my own?!" Visibly angered by Hera's condition.
Hera sternly stared right back at Alfia. Both of them had a stare fight but it was quickly mediated by the two.
Alfia then left the room and ran away quickly, Sophia follows her, leaving Europa and Hera behind.
Europa: "She's blaming herself. This time is a bit different because she's willing to leave Meteria's side to find that man."
Hera: "Yeah. Europa, I want you to get Hermes' on this case and make him find out everything about the man Alfia faced. Can I get his description?"
Europa: "Right, he's a tall man with white hair and bright blue eyes. Pretty face and masculine but not too bulky. Slim muscular? And... Right, he was a bit similar to Alfia. He also wore a blindfold on his eyes."
Hera: "Similar to Alfia huh..."
===Satoru: "Ouch Ouch Ouch!"
Kaguya pinches Satoru's ears as she pour all her anger to it after leaving her alone during the festival.
Kaguya: "You asked me to be your guide! Yet you left me all alone, did you know how much lonely I felt, after anticipating this day and hanging out with my brother!"
Satoru: "I'm sowwy! I was caught up at the moment that's why i strayed, I returned quickly didn't I?"
Kaguya: "You were gone for 3 hours! I will end you!" Kaguya unsheathed her katana and strikes Satoru, but it stopped as infinity does it's job. Kaguya was fuming as she pouts while not looking at Satoru.
Satoru: "I said I'm sorry right? Can't you forgive big brother this one time?"
Satoru tries to charm Kaguya with his sweet tone and pretty eyes, Kaguya was almost swayed by him but she already adapted to this as Satoru did it to her many times in the past.
Kaguya: "No! I won't forgive you for this! It's already night time and the plan I made is ruined." Kaguya sighed dejectedly.
She was really disappointed because this day is really important. It's been years when She left the Far East and this is their first time seeing each other again.
Satoru feels bad as well. While fighting Alfia sure brought him thrill, It was gone the moment Kaguya expresses sadness. Satoru pats her head gently.
Satoru: "Then why don't I take you out for dinner? My treat of course, bring me to a high end restaurant and we'll buy everything they got!"
Kaguya: "Hmph. Fine, but I'd rather go to a famous bar that my familia goes to. And I know your appetite very well and it's quantity over quality with you. You eat like you haven't eaten in days."
Satoru: "W-Well, My skills takes a toll on my energy really well, so I need all the nutrition I can get."
Kaguya seems to forgive Satoru, because she can't be mad at him for a bit of blunder, and because he's Satoru Gojo.
Kaguya agrees and both of them went to a pub that was near them. But upon reaching, Satoru's face was laughable as his jaw drop upon seeing the pub (TL: Like he did when he saw Megumi).
"Hostess of Fertility" is the name of the Pub, the place where the Astraea familia is frequent when celebrating occasions. Kaguya entered as Satoru, visibly irritated, followed.
A brown and black haired cat girls greeted Kaguya as soon as she enters.
Kaguya: "Anya-san, Chloe-san, It's been quite a while." Kaguya greeted them.
Anya: "Nya! It's been quite a while huh! Did someone level up in your Familinya?"
Chloe: "Is Ryu-chan with you as well nya? I have a score to settle after all!"
These two cats are full of energy, very much rare for cats to be. Then Chloe caught a glimpse of Satoru standing behind Kaguya, Anya saw him as well and they both look at each other. Gasping really hard, they pulled Kaguya away and crouch down a bit.
Anya: "*whisper* K-Kaguya-chan, I-Is that y-your b-boyfried nya?" Asked hurriedly
Chloe: "*whisper* R-Right nya, w-who's that handsome, delicious fellow with you!" She follows up while drooling and blushing really hard.
The two curious cats bombarded Kaguya with question about Satoru, but as always, curiosity kills the cat as Kaguya swiftly smacked then causing them to tumble. Kaguya coughs a bit as she pulls Satoru away from the cats.
Satoru: "A bit hard on your friends, are you sure they're alright?"
Kaguya: "Yes, and I know that they can take that at least."
Satoru: "R-Right."
'That two are at least Level 4. Wow, this place is incredible, considering almost every staffs here are Level 2 above. What kind of place is this?' Satoru thought off as he scans the surrounding.
They both found a table and sat down, looking through the menus on the pamphlet on the tale, Kaguya couldn't help but feel the gazes on the pub on her.
Random 1: "Isn't that Yamato Rindou? From the Astraea Familia?"
Random 2: "Yeah, Vice-captain. Is she on a date?"
Random 3: "Wow, what a handsome mans she's with. What do you think?"
Random 4: "I don't know, but it smells fishy... After all, It's Kaguya we're talking about, with her attitude, there's no way a guy would like her even if she's that pretty."
That last comment made Kaguya smile a bit darker. Bro is bout to die and he didn't even know it. As well as Satoru.
Syr: "Can I take your orders~?" She said with a huge smile.
Satoru met her again for the second time today. And this time, he was a bit cautious about her. Because of the cat man who he effortlessly beat during the Arena, and this place being really sus.
Kaguya: "Oh~ Syr-chan, I would take the usual and some cold drinks for me, What about you?"
Satoru: "Oh? Right, I would like this, this, this, and 2 of these. And some cold beverage, non-alcoholic." Satoru gave his orders without care much.
This Satoru has quite the appetite, but Kaguya didn't seem to mind as she was used to this. She was used to every antics Satoru has.
Syr: "Right away~. Though, I'm glad you decided to visit tonight, I didn't know that you were eager to eat here."
Syr said as she handed the order, the table was quite close to the counter so her voice didn't need that much volume for them to hear.
Kaguya: "You two have met? She asked curiously.
Satoru: "Right, I met her outside the Arena today, quite the conversation we had."
Syr: "Fufufu. He called me as pretty as a goddess you know." Syr teased
Kaguya was visibly upset that Satoru is flirting with every girls he sees, both consciously and unconsciously.
Satoru: "I called her a Goddess, not as pretty as a Goddess." But that makes it sound much worse than the former.
Kaguya: "You..!" Kaguya menacingly and slowly unsheathe her blade.
Satoru: "Oh come on!"
Just then, another group came in the Pub as well. But these three are a bit strange. The patrons of the Pub didn't mind much, but Satoru felt like there's something wrong about it. and he always trust his guts.
Satoru: "On second though? Keep your blade out, Kaguya, looks like trouble is coming." He said calmly in a low voice.
Kaguya was surprised for a bit, then assumed ready as she prepares. She trusted Satoru's intuitions and his words are of no lies and not to be doubted.
The group slowly walks towards Satoru and Kaguya's positions as Kaguya locks on to them, assuming they're the threats. But as the group was right beside them, still walking, there was nothing noteworthy about it and they just went their way.
Kaguya lets down her guard a bit, which was a grave mistake.
The person on the back of the group quickly pulls out a knife and attacked Satoru from behind.???: "DIE! GOJO SATORU!" The man shouted.
He forcefuly swung his knife to stab Satoru from behind, but it was immediately stopped. He was very confused at what is happening, but before he could finish his thought, Satoru swoops in and takes him down while slapping the knife out of his hands.
Satoru: "Getting sloppy, Kaguya?"
Kaguya: "Shit, I let my guard down!"
Kaguya immediately stood up to provide support, but another group who was already sitting at the table beside them, immediately stood up and draws their weapon on her. It was an ambush that no one expected.
Anya: "Nya? What the hell?" Anya confusedly observed the situation.
While Chloe and the other waitress, Luniore, immediately went to action before everything got out of hand.
Satoru: "Till here? These damned assassins are sure persistent, didn't they told you much about me and sent you to die?" He asked, amused by their stupidity.
But there was something different, these people aren't just your run off the mill assassins. They chose this place because this place is filled with innocent bystanders, and prepared enough with a weird aura Item on one of them.
Another person pulls out a weird looking knife, It was like a unicorn horn to Satoru's eyes. But that's what didn't take his attention, rather the energy it emits.
Satoru: "Anti-curse? You guys are well informed, very well, actually... Then there is no mistaking, you're Evilus." He deducted.
Then all of them swarmed and ran to Satoru, but the waitresses are much faster as they stopped and restrained the intruders, but some of them slips by and went straight to him.
He counters and beats up all of them within 5 seconds and great speed, then helped Kaguya by using Dismantle to destroy the weapons the enemy got. It was a scary scene as the other patrons of the pub are shocked. Some drunks immediately became sober as they drew weapons to protect themselves as well.
Mia: "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?" Mia Grande shouted.
Seeing her angry face brought a chill to Satoru's spine as he watches the restrained terrorist get punched in the face, by a large woman.
Kaguya: "These people. Evilus?" She asked as she saw the emblem on one of their robes.
Satoru: "To get rid of me of course. I did quite the scene to them years back."
Mia then walks up to Satoru and Kaguya.
Mia: "Ya better have the money to pay for the damages."
