章節 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.

章節 157: Won't Escape

It's the evening of the same day when Medusa regained her consciousness. After that further rest, her body doesn't hurt as much as this morning, but her Mana reserved was also depleted due to it being used for her automatic restoration.

There was no one in the room when she woke up so she used this chance to do some thinking without the pressure of any other people. She recalled what happened earlier, including the nonsensical talk that those who saved her did. She took a closer 'look' at her surroundings and thought, 'If he can set up this kind of barrier, I guess he really has the right to brag. But this barrier can't hide my existence for too long. As long as Athena help that Perseus Clan to locate me, there is nothing that can be done to impede it.'

Medusa then stood up to further check the condition of her body. Her attire was changed yet again while she's sleeping, although, she didn't know how she'll feel about it. She grateful that someone takes care of her but also kept help but keeps thinking what they want in exchange, 'I have to confirm later what do they really want from me and if possible, escape this place. Athena wouldn't help the Perseus Clan all the way as it would be 'too boring' for her taste. She would only point my general direction and would leave it to them how to pull me out, so I still have time... I should also ask if that is possible... If he can do it, I'll let him do whatever he wants with me... What's the worst thing that could happen?'

Confirming her plans for the future, Medusa stretched for a bit to ease some of the soreness she's feeling and just after she did, the door of the room opened, "Yo~. It seems that you're doing good. Wear this."

Kisuke barged in without even knocking and threw a pendant in her direction. Medusa caught it with one of her hands and ask, "What's this?"

"Something that can hide your aura and Mana signatures. You can go out of the room after wearing it." Kisuke passed her the disguise equipment that he made for the Yaegaki family. Due to having an extra day, Kisuke decided that he should make one for the unconscious girl too.

With a bit of hesitation, Medusa wore it around her neck. The pendant is a shiny purple gem that is attached to a silver chain, "As expected of me. It goes well with your hair." Kisuke commented as he stares at her while rubbing his chin.

Even though the compliment is praising himself, Medusa felt embarrassed after hearing his words. However, she immediately shook her head to shake off such feelings, 'Don't get caught up in his pace, Medusa!'

To be honest, though, This is the first time she felt embarrassed since time immemorial so she didn't hate it. On the contrary, she felt refreshed. Even the food earlier reminded her that being alive isn't so bad. But she knew that these things would come to an end sooner or later and would only regret it she became too attached to these feelings.

"But I'm pretty sure it'll look better if you take that blindfold off." Kisuke, disregarding Medusa's reaction, continued his words.

"That's impossible..." An immediate answer from Medusa, "Once I took this off, only misfortune would arrive those who are around me..." She calmed down after saying this, 'Right... These eyes are the start of everything... Because of these eyes, I can never hold those who are close to me anymore...'

"Is that so? That's a shame..." Kisuke sighed in disappointment.

"Anyways... Aren't you afraid that I would escape from this place once I exited this room?" Things are getting awkward so Medusa changed the subject.

"Nope~ Not at all!" Regaining his smile, Kisuke answered energetically.

"...What makes you so sure?" Medusa wasn't so sure how to react from his words, 'Did he put a trap somewhere? Or is the entire house covered in this kind of barrier too?... That's... too suffocating...'

"That pendant has a built-in tracker." Against Medusa's prediction, Kisuke answered her question honestly.

"...What the hell? Why tell me that?" Medusa staggered after hearing him, 'Medusa... Don't get caught in his pace...' Letting out a mock cough, Medusa proceed on speaking, "Ehem... I'll just toss it away then."

"What!? That's cheating!"

"..."

"Well, whatever. I'm still sure that you aren't going to escape. After all, you're pretty concerned about those two souls inside you and you didn't know about their existence until recently. You probably wanted to ask me something regarding those." Kisuke finally took a serious tone, erasing the playful tune he is playing earlier.

"!? Then...!" Medusa abruptly took a step forward.

"I won't answer any of your questions through~. Not until after dinner~." But surprisingly... Or not, Kisuke didn't answer her expectations.

"You..." Medusa was speechless yet again, 'This bastard! Is messing with me that fun!? Now I can't think of anything else aside from that topic! How can I enjoy my dinner!' Without her notice, Medusa was already caught up with his pace.

"Alright, let's go before the food gets cold." Kisuke disabled the entire barrier before exiting the room.

Medusa gritted her teeth and followed him outside. For the first time, Medusa met the other two people in the house. But the husband and wife noticed the frustrated expression she is making and the happy smile on Kisuke's face. Cleria approached her and patted her shoulder, "It's alright. I understand how you feel. But it's no use thinking of getting back at him. He'll only play with you."

Medusa faced Cleria and noted the pity directed at her. Instead of getting angry, however, she gave her gratitude, "Thank you... I'll remember that. My name's Ana. Nice to meet you."

"Cleria Yaegaki, nice to meet you too." Cleria smiled and shook her hand. She then pointed to her husband, "And this is my husband, Masaomi Yaegaki."

Masaomi nodded at her, "Nice to meet you, Miss Ana. I hope you enjoy your stay here in my humble abode. By the way, that is my daughter Claire Yaegaki. You already met her earlier."

"Big sis! Let's play!" Claire called out to her.

"No sweety. We are about to eat. Go wash your hands." Cleria immediately reminded her. She's very happy for her though, as she became very lively ever since Kisuke and Yoruichi arrived, 'Inviting them over is our greatest decision in life.'

"Okay~." Medusa watches as she took small steps towards the washroom.

"I'm back~." From the entrance of the house, Yoruichi entered.

"Welcome back~. How is it?" Kisuke asks.

"Still the same. That clan is still searching for her randomly."

I'm going too slow and my release rate isn't helping?

I'm sorry about that but it isn't going to change anytime soon. I also wanted to release two chapters a day, but my work for this month is eating up at least 14 hours a day...

.

What? I should sue my company for that?

No way~. I'm getting a pretty good deal out of it.

.

Anyway, the point is, I might miss some days in posting.

Thank you for your understanding~!

Enjoy~.
