Capítulo 740: Astarte

Medusa recalled everything, including from the times she'd rampaged on earth and thirsting for blood. That scene in her head still gives her nightmares, but with the warmth covering her hands, determination formed in her, 'Instead of leaving this timebomb that I don't know if it will ever explode, I should just take a step forward and pull it out of pandora's box and make it mine.'

"Alright. Please take care of me, Master."

Kisuke nodded, "That's what I intended from the start."

Kisuke wanted to elaborate more about the training they were about to go through, however, someone special had entered the premise of their tower, "Hmm?"

With a snap of his fingers, a translucent screen appeared in front of everyone, depicting the wide lobby below from the eyes of the 'doll' receptionist. Immediately zooming into two cloaked figures, Yoruichi became confused, "They are?"

Since those who come in similar attires are aplenty, everyone couldn't tell what's special about them. Not from a simple visual image.

"One is an acquaintance and one is a Deity." answered Kisuke. He could already guess the identity of the Deity and what they'd come here for.

Of course, despite seeing them for the first time, most of them already knew who the Deity is because there's only one who would want to meet Kisuke with such timing, "Is it Astarte?" Artemis asked.

"What? Really?" Hestia became giddy.

"I've never met Astarte-sama before, but the person beside the Deity is the captain of the Astarte Familia. So it's most probably Astarte-sama herself, but what's wrong?"

Artemis sighed and replied, "There's nothing really wrong, but she's the exact opposite of me. She's the Goddess of War and Sexual Love." With a bit of hesitation, Artemis continued with a slight blush on her face, "...And her 'love' goes both ways."

Kuroka already guessed what's going on and asked while pointing to Hestia, "So she's like this because of her overbearing 'love', nyaa?"

Hestia and Artemis could only look away but that was enough of an answer. With a very serious expression, Kisuke instructed, "Yoruichi. Invite them in."

With a similar expression, Yoruichi nodded and stood up, "Roger that."

"Ehem... Well then, I'm tired so I'll be retiring for today. Good luck." Hestia tried to escape, but she felt someone hold her hand tightly when she was about to stand up. When she looked up, she saw Aika giving her a big grin.

Similarly, Koneko held Artemis' hand tightly so she wouldn't go anywhere.

With a huge smile plastered on his face, Kisuke added, "What are you talking about, Hestia-sama? As the representatives of the Hestia and Artemis Familias, both of you have to greet her properly or it'll just be plain rude."

"But Kisuke-kun. You're a fine captain so you don't really need us here." Hestia said while still trying to squirm her way out with a smile.

On the other hand, Artemis had a blank expression and had already given up when she saw Kisuke make a strange smile. Unlike Hestia, she learnt fast, "Hestia, give it up. There's no point in arguing with him." She then pointed around them, "Look. Everyone's on board with his idea."

Hestia looked around and saw that everyone had strategically blocked any way of escape, in addition to Aika not letting her go. Slowly, her smile broke down, and she started shouting, "I DON' WANNAAAA!!!"

Everyone except for Artemis was shocked at her sudden outburst but before they could do anything else, a shadow with red hair dashed through everyone and reached behind Hestia. And as if they were coiling snakes, the unknown person's arms wrapped around Hestia's body.

Alarms started going off in Hestia's head as she felt the familiar touch. Although before she could say anything, she heard a familiar sultry voice whispering in her right ear, "Oh my~! If it isn't Hestia-chan. I didn't expect to see you here. How wonderful~."

Astarte, a Deity that represented War and Sexual Love had a similar build as Hestia, except for her chest. The striking short red hair complimented her blood-red eyes that reflect sensuousness and gracefulness.

"A-Astarte!? When did you come here!?" She looked around but she noticed that Yoruichi and her companion hadn't even arrived here, "How did you find this room!?"

"HA! Of course the love between us brought us together!"

"There's no love between us!"

"Well, to be honest, I got a whiff of your scent the moment I arrived on this floor and followed it."

"See!?"

"But that's not important~!" Astarte then suddenly separated from Hestia and reappeared on top of Artemis, who was trying her best to act like an ornament, and trapped her where she was sitting, "Naturally, I didn't forget about you, Artemis-chan~!" Lifting her chin with her hand, Astarte continued, "I has been a while. Although there's something different about you right now, you're still as beautiful and pure as ever~!"

Artemis immediately covered her lips. Even though she had never been kissed, there are certainly attempts from the Deity in front of her in the past.

However, Astarte didn't even attempt to do so this time and instead, grabbed Artemis' waist before turning back to Hestia, who was already trying to escape, and grabbed her waist too. With a Goddess in each of her arms, Astarte couldn't help but laugh out loud, "FUHAHAHAHA! Now I just need Athena to complete my Maiden Goddess Harem~!"

Hestia and Artemis finally couldn't take it and veins popped on their heads. With combined effort, they both twisted Astarte's arms resulting in her cry of pain. Not caring about the noise, Artemis lifted her left foot while Hestia lifted her right foot and both of them gave Astarte's butt a kick with all of their strength.

"UWAAHHH!!!" Astarte uncontrollably rolled towards the exit of the room and only stopped when she hit someone's legs. Looking up, Astarte saw the furious face of her child and immediately said, "Yo, Carys. I saw some friends and got excited... Tee-hee~?"

Even without witnessing everything, just from the fact that Astarte suddenly ran off while making a perverted expression and with the Goddesses behind the doors fuming, Carys could already guess what had happened.

Dropping on all fours, the Cow Person hurriedly asked for forgiveness, "I'm very sorry for how she acted! You don't have to tell me what happened! I know full well how she acts!"

Astarte also sat up and was also about to apologize. However, she froze when she saw Hestia and Artemis grabbing a man's arm while glaring at her, "W-what...?"

Slowly standing up, she pointed her shaking fingers at them, "I-I can understand Hestia since she's naive and easy to trick."

"Oi." Hestia retorted.

"B-b-b-but Artemis!? The known man-hater!?"

"None of your business." Artemis replied.

They thought that Astarte would become disheartened, but contrary to their expectations, her eyes shone and jumped in front of Kisuke, "Teach me your ways, Master! As a bonus, I shall be yours too!"

Capítulo 741: Astarte’s Frustrations

While nursing the lump on her head, Astarte introduced herself, "Hestia-chan and Artemis-chan already knew me, but I'm Astarte! Nice to meet y'all!"

"And I'm the Captain of the Astarte Familia, Carys Cattell. It's my first time meeting most of you and I'm grateful to be your acquaintance. Also, I'm sorry for Astarte-sama's behavior just now." The person who gave her the lump also introduced herself.

Astarte wanted to start conversing about random things since it has really been a while since they've seen each other and she was incredibly curious about how Kisuke had melted Artemis' heart. But before she could do that, Carys immediately interrupted her with a serious expression, "Astarte-sama, we don't have much time, so please leave it for later. I didn't really want to agree for you to climb down here since it's dangerous, so I'd like for us to return to the surface as soon as possible. Besides, if those people realized that you've descended into the Dungeon, they are going to use that fact however they want."

Although she was really curious as to why Kisuke and the others had brought their patron Deities down here, it was none of their business and they didn't have the right to question them.

Astarte's gleeful expression also disappeared and was replaced by a solemn one, "Then I'll go straight to the point. Kisuke Urahara, what do we need to do for us to keep our position regarding the Teleportation Circle?"

Kisuke looked straight at them without any sort of expression, "You still want to keep it despite all the pressure coming from all sides?"

Astarte closed her eyes and crossed her arms while sighing, "We would have relegated it if it's Poseidon or the Alliance who wanted to take it. But there's no way I'll give this up if it's only going to end up with Aruna."

"Heh... I already heard the rumors, but you really don't like the other side, huh."

"There's no way we'll get along with them! Not when they've hardly changed their way!" Carys had a sudden outburst while clenching her fist.

Right away, Astarte turned her eyes to her, "Carys, I know how you're feeling but this isn't the place and they are newcomers that might have never heard their history. Curb your emotions."

"History?" Kisuke asked. The truth is, however, Yoruichi, Kuroka, and he already knew about it, but they'd still pretend that they didn't know. After all, it would be unnerving if they revealed that they searched through their history.

Scratching her head, Artemis answered after sighing, "I'll make it short. The reason my Familia is the way it is now was primarily to oppose that arrogant blockhead Aruna. In the past, they used their women as if they were tools, so I gathered those victims and created my own group."

Astarte understood that love comes in all kinds of shapes and forms. However, she didn't like Aruna's children that instilled fear in everyone and hated Aruna himself for letting them do as they wanted. As an advocate of 'love', she never welcomed 'fear' that instilled terror for the feeling of power and authority. After all, 'love' could never be born from 'fear' and she doubted that anything worthwhile would.

"The generation that started all this hate was already long gone and they're a lot tamer these days. But as Carys said, they haven't really changed their ways and do things in a more secretive way. Although there are some who wanted to change it from the inside, no one had succeeded."

Astarte recalled Carys' parents and they were two of the people who tried to change the Aruna Familia but only ended up becoming victims. Thankfully, Carys herself was saved and avoided suffering the same fate as them.

'Looks like the Aruna Familia are experts in navigating the grey area.', thought Kisuke, since they were still thriving now, 'Well, this is the limit of a society where strength is the most important.'

"And that's the gist of it. If you want to know more, just ask the old folks or some Deity in Pandemonium. It isn't exactly a secret at this point. It's just that only a few individuals still remember the events of the past." Astarte then looked back to Kisuke, "Now that I've answered your question, It's your turn to answer mine."

Kisuke smiled and replied, "I don't like taking back my words so I promised to everyone that if you're willing to stand your ground, then nothing will change from our side. Though if you wanted some assistance to defend yourselves, then I would need some compelling reason to act."

Astarte and Carys' eyes widened in surprise. They didn't think it would be this easy. A few seconds later, Astarte started laughing while shaking her head, "Just your reassurance that nothing will change is plenty enough. I couldn't ask for more."

Now that they got the answer that they wanted, there is no more reason to stay here, especially since they are within the Dungeon. Standing up, Astarte and Carys intended to leave, "Thank you for your time and I apologize that we couldn't offer much. But since you're Hestia-chan and Artemis-chan's children, if you need our help, we won't hesitate to give a hand, no matter the situation we're in."

As her long-time friends, Astarte trusted Hestia and Artemis' judgment when they accepted their children. If there's something they need, Astarte would happily assist them.

"You too, Astarte. If you need some help. Don't hesitate to ask them. It may not look like it, but they're very capable children~!" Hestia immediately answered back with a big smile. She doesn't like how she usually acts, but it never changed the fact that she's one of her good and sincere friends.

Artemis also nodded along with Hestia's words, "That's right. These kids wanted some exercise so if you want to, we'll lend them to you."

"Fufufu, then I'll remember that~.", Though Astarte did say that, she has no intention of involving them any further with their problem. Although Kisuke started all of this, she knew that he was just the trigger of the long-brewing conflict between her and Aruna that could start any time.

Kisuke also stood up intending to escort them, "By the way, Astarte-sama. What do you think is happening for the other two to back the Aruna Familia if they really are such an unsavory bunch?"

Astarte shook her head, "I don't know. But I have a feeling that it's not for a good reason and the other two are just feeling helpless with the situation. That's how it looks like for me, at least."
