Capítulo 690: Concerns

Instead of the discussion, Kisuke's attention was on Ais who was making a very complicated expression, "Haah... If nothing changes, it's going to be complicated in the future."

"What do you mean?", asked Yoruichi.

Kisuke sighed, "I'm talking about the Sword Princess. At this rate, if nothing is done, I might have to kill her."

Knowing a bit of Ais' mysteriousness, Yoruichi asked, "Couldn't you just do what you did with Artemis?"

"Artemis-sama's situation was entirely different from her. Although the Antares managed to gain control of Artemis-sama, the core of her soul is still up in Heaven. That's the reason why I could easily sever their connection. In Wallenstein-san's case, her soul was directly melded with the Black Dragon and it's only because of Aria-san that she's still in control of herself."

"I could probably separate them safely, but it would take a substantial amount of time and I don't have that. I'd rather pour my resources into the things that could surely help us. All I could offer her is a challenging chance, but as she is right now, she'll just be swallowed by the Black Dragon."

"Why do you have to do it, nyaa?", asked Kuroka. If it was such a pain in the ass, Kisuke could just ignore this problem that might be solved on its own.

"It's because I don't want Loki to be our enemy. She's good at scheming, yes, but what's really amazing about her is her ability to figure out other's intentions. If she goes against us, it would be extremely complicated. But also thanks to her ability, she's one of the few Deities that we could easily convince to side with us at the right time."

"So rather than that poor Ais herself, you're more concerned on how Loki would think, nyaa?"

"Well, that's not really all. I also promised Aria-san so there's that. Anyway, are there any files that show the three who'd just left?", Kisuke suddenly changed the topic.

"There is, nyaa. I'll play it one by one."

The first video file was Irina saving a War Shadow and evading Bete using a flashbang. The next one was Akeno saving a Needle Rabbit and teleporting away after sending a wave of lightning towards Tione.

On Koneko's side, it became complicated when the Xenos she wanted to save became embroiled with the Freya Familia who were guarding the walls. The Siren Xenos, Ray was protecting the Lygerfang against Allen Fromel but due to the difference in Level and experience, Ray, who was as strong as a Level 5 Adventurer couldn't even fight back.

When Allen was about to land a decisive blow, Koneko didn't hesitate to partially unlock her Sage Mode and revealed her Sacred Gear. Using the momentum she got from the thrusters behind her, Koneko got in between Ray and Allen before punching away the latter's spear.

"You!? White Flames!", Allen immediately recognized the Adventurer known as 'White Flames of Dawn'. But instead of questioning why she was protecting the monsters, Allen wanted to know how a Level 3 like her was able to fend off his attack.

Koneko, however, didn't say anything and used the small opportunity that was created and followed up with a kick using the same momentum.

Allen saw her foot from the corner of his eyes and immediately used his arm to block it. However, he severely underestimated the power behind her kick and was sent flying.

Using this chance Koneko grabbed Ray and the Lygerfang to escape. But before she could do anything else, she felt some threat behind her and hurriedly turned around to see three flying knives.

Koneko was about to block using her flames but stopped when she felt another's presence. The next instant, an extremely cold breeze blew and created several icicles that blocked the throwing knives.

Allen turned to the source of the cold breeze and showed his fangs, "Even you, Nine Hell... What the hell's wrong with you people!?"

Stepping out from the shadows of the building, Riveria first turned to Koneko and looked at the monsters behind her for a few seconds before turning to Allen and saying, "Go. I'll take care of this."

Koneko furrowed her brows from confusion but still took the chance that Riveria gave her and grabbed the Xenos once again before using Flash Step to leave the area.

Allen dropped down from the wall and faced Riveria, "I never thought that one of the top dogs of the Loki Familia would be helping monsters. If others were to know of this, they'll surely be disappointed."

But Riveria just smirked and replied, "Really? I only saw a veteran Adventurer bullying an acquaintance. I never saw any monsters."

"So that's how it is. Regardless, for messing with my business, I would have to give you a few cuts.", said Allen and readied his spear and knives. He already gave up on chasing the monsters since someone who was at the same level as him appeared to interfere. He could only hope that others who were also guarding the walls would find those monsters.

The playback ended there because Serafall wasn't interested in them anymore.

The next file was a few days later after the disturbance with members of the Loki Familia and Loki herself visiting Hearth Manor.

The one who welcomed them was, of course, Medusa, "Good day to everyone. We were expecting you."

Except for the Riveria and Loki, this was the first time for others to meet her outside of the Dungeon and Tiona couldn't help but ask when she looked at her gem-like eyes, "Y-you won't turn us into stone, right?"

Medusa chuckled and replied, "Of course not. I wouldn't do that to our important guests."

The younger members were still nervous around her but Finn stepped forwards and said, "I'd like to thank you first for your assistance when the monsters wanted to rush to the surface. With your presence, it became a lot easier to defend the tower."

"It's my duty to protect the place my master left. Anyways, please follow me inside. Hestia-sama and Artemis-sama were already expecting you."

"What about the special 'guests'?", asked Loki.

"It'll depend on them if you can meet them. On that note, please don't pull out your weapons inside or we'll have no choice but to retaliate."

Loki nodded and turned her head to Ais, "Don't worry. They already promised they won't be hurting anyone inside."

Seeing her stare, Ais noticeably gulped and became nervous. Aside from that, an extremely complicated feeling was brewing inside her. But even if the belief that she held dearly through all her life was to be threatened, she wanted to go. Ais wanted to know how 'he' and the people around him viewed this.

28th00: This’ll be interesting.

Alexander: I’ve always been a fan of the clueless Ais, but she’s becoming more and more annoying in this story. Kisuke should seriously beat some flexibility of mind into her.

Capítulo 691: A Monster

Hestia, Artemis and Loki were sitting face to face with the others standing around them. From Loki's side, except for Gareth who remained in their manor as a guard, every executive was present. Loki wanted to bring Line, but the latter refused because she was at an important part of her study and didn't want to break her chain of thought.

On Hestia and Artemis' side, everyone except for Serafall, Ophis, Claire, and of course, Tanis, were present. Medusa had also left the room after serving everyone a cup of tea.

"Now, please tell us what you came here for.", started Hestia.

Loki remained quiet for a moment. Until this point, she still wasn't sure if she was doing the correct thing. If the outcome of this meeting was unfavorable, she knew for sure that her children would hate her and they might think that she was forcing them to cooperate with their sworn enemies.

However, the reason she was here right now was because she trusted Kisuke and those around him. If it was just other people who felt sympathy and empathy for the 'monsters', she wouldn't have dared to bring her children here to directly confront them.

But she knew for sure that Kisuke and the girls had an objective view regarding this strange existence and she was betting that their opinion could open the minds of her children who grew up hating monsters. Loki also had a feeling that this might be the key that could help Ais before it was too late.

Sighing, Loki finally replied, "Then I won't beat around the bush. What are those monsters?", her question was directed to Sona.

But before answering, Sona first looked at everyone from Loki's side's faces. It became obvious to her that whatever answer they were expecting, it'll be hard for them to accept.

"Before I answer that, let me ask everyone what a monster is for them."

The first one to answer without much hesitation was Finn, "Monsters have been the enemy of the people since ancient times."

"Creatures from the Dungeon that want to take over the world.", added Riveria.

Except for Ais, the others also answered more or less the same as the first two.

Since she was the last one, all eyes landed on her as she said while clenching her fist, "All monsters... should just disappear."

The members of the Loki Familia became tense. They already knew that they were keeping some monsters and it seemed that they were taking good care of them. Ais' comment, however, was essentially telling them that the monsters in their care should be killed.

But surprisingly, Sona nodded in agreement, "That's true. Monsters should all just disappear and the world would be a better place... probably..."

Like the others, Ais was also shocked at her response.

"I mean it would really be great if there is nothing that could threaten everyone's peaceful life. However, that's really impossible in my opinion. A world like that would essentially or partially be a utopia."

Finn thought that her words were really strange. It was as if they were describing monsters differently, "Then what about you guys? What are monsters for you?"

Sona smiled and replied, "It's as you said, they are a threat to everyone and should be dealt with. However, we disagree that they only came from the Dungeon."

The Loki Familia members were shocked at what she was implying and Tiona couldn't help but lean forward and ask, "Are you saying that there are other sources of the monsters aside from the Dungeon!?"

But instead of Sona, the one who answered her was Koneko with her head tilted, "Of course they don't just come from the Dungeon. After all, people aren't born in the Dungeon."

It was their turn to get confused and Aika immediately supplemented her words while patting Koneko's head, "She meant that people could be monsters too."

They weren't just confused, but also stunned. However, before they could arrive at a ridiculous conclusion that people could somehow transform into a creature of Dungeon, Sona immediately added with a chuckle, "No. It's impossible for one to transform into a similar creature as those that came from the Dungeon."

She then looked at Finn and said, "Cruel, horrible, evil, unsympathetic, and many more. Don't you think there are also people like that out there?"

Finn stared back at her before nodding.

"Therefore, you could also describe them as monsters."

They wanted to say something but they didn't know how they could refute her words. After all, although her words were unconventional, there was truth within it.

"Although we describe 'monsters' similarly, at the core of it, we have a different view. Monsters for us are limited to what's inside regardless of their external form. If he, she, or it, has his, her, or its own will and could communicate properly, it's a person. However, the most innocent person could also be a monster while the most tyrannical monster could be a person. In other words, nothing is really defined before you receive any information."

Sona then looked at everyone's conflicted reactions. As someone born outside of this world, such perception was easy to accept. But to those born in this one, it was a different story with monsters only having a singular definition of creatures of the Dungeon.

"I'm not trying to change your worldview because you have to be the one to decide whether you should change it after accepting or rejecting the idea. I just want everyone to understand that we have a slightly different way of differentiating monsters from everyone else."

After a few seconds, Finn asked, "Then what would you call a mons... I mean a creature of Dungeon that is capable of talking and cooperating with other people?"

This time, it was Akeno who answered with a chuckle, "That's just a stranger, isn't it?"

At her response, Finn could only sigh and smile wryly. Meanwhile, while still conflicted, the others could understand their group's point of view, except for Ais.

After all, all this time, she was getting stronger only for the sake of her revenge and continually slaughtered the monsters regardless of whether they could speak or not as part of it. If she were to accept their view, then it would mean that she was something as bad as the monster that she was trying to defeat.

With nothing else to say, she asked, "...What about Kisuke...? What is a monster for him?"

"For him? If I were to guess, a monster doesn't really mean anything to him as he sees others as strangers, friends, acquaintances, allies, enemies, or customers."

All of a sudden, an image of Kisuke happily selling his merchandise to the monsters of the Dungeon appeared inside their minds and somehow, they couldn't be sure that it wouldn't ever happen.

Alexander: For me, every human has the potential to become the greatest monster, from the moment when they don’t care about others’ well-being anymore.
