When Kisuke came out, it's already evening and everyone is waiting for him to eat dinner with them, "How was your day?" He asked after he entered the dining room. As he watches everyone's face, Aika, Koneko, and Kuroka all had relieved expression, "Oh? It looks like it went well."
Aika smiled brightly and said as she clutches her nodachi that she hadn't put away since earlier and doesn't have any intention to do so, "Yep~. Today is a good day~."
Meanwhile, Koneko and Kuroka looked at each other before giggling, "Yep~. Today is really such a nice day, nya~."
Kisuke sat down on his sit and smiled gently, "Is that, so? Great." Medusa then started serving the food as she usually does.
"You too... It seems that it went well." Yoruichi suddenly said while staring at him.
"Yep~. I was able to max out my extra parameter and level up."
"Hmm? Did Hestia came home?"
"Nope~. I was able to do it remotely~."
"... I'm even not gonna ask how you did it... but congrats, I guess."
"Thank you~."
As the group started eating when Medusa sat down to join them, Yoruichi continued, "Anyway, I decided to teach Line-chan."
"Hmm? You're going to bring her in?"
"Yes. As you said, she has a talent when it comes to healing and we need someone who could focus on healing."
"True... Although I could learn it myself, I can't focus on it... If she has enough motivation and talent, she should be able to help us... But..."
"I know your concerns, but trust me... I'll take care of her."
"Okay~. I'll prepare my medical knowledge and pass it to her. I hope she can develop her own skill from there on."
"Let's just see what the future holds." Yoruichi smiled as she got Kisuke's agreement, "Anyway, Did you have some guest earlier? I went to the shop earlier."
"Ah, that? Riveria from the Loki Familia came... Surprisingly..."
Not just Yoruichi, but everyone is making an incredulous face, "Is she a masochist?" Aika suddenly asked.
"...I don't think so..." Kisuke answered, but even he isn't sure if that's the case, "But it seems that she's hellbent on breaking my expectations..."
Sona then asked, "And how do you feel about that?"
With a big smile, Kisuke answered, "I feel challenged, so I started preparing a few things for the future~."
Kuroka then suddenly raised her hand, "Alright~! Let's bet on how long she can last, nya~! I'll be the banker~!"
"Three puddings, three days!" Aika started.
"Two plates of chocolate melting cakes, five days!" Sona joined in.
"Five orange souffle, six days." Because it seems fun, Medusa also joined in.
"...Six strawberry tarts, two days." Koneko doesn't have much faith in Riveria.
"Then mine is ten expresso truffles for one-week~," Yoruichi added.
Kisuke knew that the end result of this betting would be him making everything they said for everyone regardless of the result, but he didn't say anything and only smiled gently, 'I'm lacking some materials for those... I should ask some from Riveria-san.'
"So? What did she come here for?" After finalizing their useless bet, Yoruichi asked.
"She came for the magic and Ais-san's condition. Thanks to that, I was able to initiate a deal that should give us some leeway with our activities. Everything should become easier with their help."
"I see... So you scammed someone again..." Aika couldn't help but mutter.
"That means business as usual," Sona added with a smile.
Ignoring the words of the two, Kisuke continued with a serious expression, "With this, we'll have close ties with the Loki Familia, but I want you all to remember that we can't be complacent and still be careful with our actions since we don't know if they'll stay as our allies forever. I already made some mistakes earlier, but I should be able to work around it. If you girls made a blunder anywhere or think something is amiss, be sure to tell me so we can work out a solution."
Everyone seriously nodded at his words.
Smiling again, Kisuke said, "Aside from that, you can do whatever you want. As I said earlier, I want you to live in this world. We will return, but that doesn't mean we should avoid relationships in this world's inhabitants."
The rest of their dinner went peacefully and full of smiles by talking about random things, reminiscing things, and planning their activities for the next few days, including a group date on the upcoming Monster Philia hosted by the Ganesha Familia.
Once their dinner is over, each of them went to their own activities like practicing sword techniques, practicing magic, and practicing the use of ki. The only ones who remained are Kisuke and Kuroka. Everyone seems to know what's going to happen so all of them agreed in silence to leave them alone for now.
Now that it's about to happen, Kuroka became very nervous and kept fidgetting around while staying quiet, 'Why am I getting nervous now!? Shouldn't I be ready with this!? And isn't it just a single step further from what we're already doing!?' But despite, questioning herself, she still failed to calm her nerves. It was at this moment that she saw her little sister peeking from the distance before giving her a thumbs up.
Kuroka smiled and most of her nervousness went away, 'Shirone...' Now that she has her little sister's approval, confidence went back to her.
"Seriously... How about my opinion?" Kisuke suddenly muttered seeing everyone going away without a word and Koneko giving Kuroka a thumbs up.
Hearing his words, Kuroka pouted, 'This bastard... Still hesitating... He's the one going to take advantage of me! Why does he sound like it's such a pain in the ass!?'
Standing up, Kuroka approached Kisuke and stopped in front of him. Kisuke didn't say anything and only looked at her. Due to this, Kuroka's pout became worse. Taking a deep breath, Kuroka took the final step forward, "Excuse me, nya~."
Wrapping her arms around his neck, Kuroka went after his lips with her own. Closing her eyes, she started her attack, "Ummmnn~♡."
Kisuke, in response, wrapped his arms around her waist and returned the favor by exploring her mouth with his tongue, "Uhmmm~♡♡♡!" Since this is her first kiss and a very deep one at that, Kuroka immediately lost her breath and separated her lips from him, leaving a trail of saliva.
With a very red face, Kuroka looked down because she can't meet Kisuke's eyes, 'I didn't know it'll be this embarrassing!' "Uhm, t-that was my first time... So..." With just a single kiss, Kuroka became a timid girl, unlike her usual self. But this contradiction only gave Kisuke more heat and decided to 'eat' her for real.
Lifting her chin with her left hand, Kisuke whispered, "Then let's move to your second time immediately. This time, with more enthusiasm~" He then initiated an attack on her lips.
"Hnnmmm~~♡♡♡!" Kuroka tried to fight back with all her might, but with just Kisuke's experienced attacks, she felt weak on her knees and wanted to buckle up. Feeling her reaction, Kisuke, without separating from her, carried her to the table and let her sat down on it.
Kuroka felt relief with the support but that didn't last long as she felt Kisuke's hand started exploring her secret places, "Hmmnnn!?"
Kisuke left hand first begun on her ample bosom without removing her black yukata and a minute later, he brought his hand down to her crotch. Kisuke is already her going commando and damp, but he really didn't expect her to be so damp that it's practically gushing down from her leggeds.
Working on her subconscious, Kuroka instinctively grabbed Kisuke's hand which touched her wet membrane. Separating for a bit, Kuroka muttered with a hurried breath, "Uhmm... We're still in the dining room..."
Kisuke grinned and replied, "That's great~! I'm craving for some whipped cream now. Let's move to the kitchen."
"Eh?"
"What 'eh?' I decided to eat you, so this much should be fine~."
"Ehh?"
Kisuke didn't mind her reaction as he carried her in a princess carry and started walking towards the kitchen.
"Nyaa!?"
The next morning, Kisuke came out of Kuroka's room after cleaning her up. He then went straight to the dining room to meet everyone and have breakfast. But as he entered the room, he received a glare from everyone except for Medusa.
"Did you properly clean up the kitchen?" Yoruichi asked first.
"Y-yeah... I cleaned them up before leaving..."
Sighing, Yoruichi added, "I didn't think you two will do it here... And some of the whipped creams disappeared..."
"Just what sort of play did you two partake yesterday?" Aika curiously asked.
Kisuke sat down and answered, "Uhmm... wet and messy play?"
The girls were dumbfounded at his answer and started imagining what happened last night, with Kuroka and Kisuke 'eating' each other, "...Damn... That's hot..." Aika muttered.
Suddenly raising her hand, Yoruichi announced, "I want the same treatment tonight!"
Someone else then followed. Raising her hand, Sona also presented her desire with a blush on her face, "...T-then I want it too..."
Everyone knew that she wanted the same thing after Yoruichi, however, Yoruichi herself has a different idea, "Oh? You want it too? Then let's go together~."
" " " "Eh!?" " " "
"You're fine with that, right, Kisuke?"
"If you're okay with it, then I'm down! No way I'll be missing this~."
"What about it, Sona?"
With a red face, Sona looked back and forth between the Yoruichi and Kisuke. She wanted to refuse for her mental health, but somewhere inside her, there's a burning desire to go along with their idea which she can't ignore. Gathering her courage, she answered with a very soft voice, "...Okay."
"Great~. We'll do it tonight, so prepare yourself~." Yoruichi and Kisuke then proceeded to work on their breakfast while Sona did her best to ignore the incredulous stares that are coming from the girls who're thrown out of the loop by pretending to fix the position of her glasses and focusing on her breakfast.
That morning, Aika, Koneko, and Medusa couldn't say anything. And more than anything, the feeling of being left out is unbearable that each one of them started scheming how to let Kisuke make a move on them.
After the awkward breakfast, the girls got ready as they would be exploring the Dungeon today too. They intended to gain more excelia until they can't anymore.
"By the way, you should say your greetings to Sophie-san... If you don't want to be scolded later." Kisuke reminded them.
"... She'll probably scold us regardless..." Sona muttered.
"What's your plan for today?" Yoruichi asked Kisuke.
"Some guests will probably arrive today so I'll be staying at the shop today. And please tell Sophie-san that I leveled up."
"Got it. We'll be going~." Yoruichi then asked for her goodbye kiss. And just like yesterday, everyone lined up behind her to get their goodbye kisses too even if it's just on their forehead.
"Be careful~."
After everyone left, Kisuke first wrote a note to inform Kuroka of everyone's plans for today when she wakes up later before making his way towards his shop to open it.
Kisuke spent three hours silently combining his Reiatsu-Ki before his expected guests arrived, "Kisuke-kun? Are you in?"
Opening his eyes, Kisuke shouted back, "Hestia-sama! I'm here."
Hearing his voice, Hestia entered the shop, and along with her are two more Goddesses. The first one is the familiar Loki while the other one is an eye-patched beauty that Kisuke already knew through Yoruichi and Kuroka's investigation.
"Oh my~. Good morning Loki-sama" Kisuke first greeted Loki before facing the other Goddess, "And this is...?"
"Hephaestus." The eye-patched beauty introduced herself
Giving a big smile, Kisuke introduced himself, "Hephaestus-sama~. Good morning to you. I'm Kisuke Urahara, the captain of Hestia Familia and the owner of this humble shop."
"Nice to meet you too, Kisuke-kun. Thank you for taking care of my friend, but you shouldn't spoil her too much. Or she'll revert back to being a shut-in Goddess."
"Hephaestus!?"
"Ahaha~. You need not worry about that, Hephaestus-sama. Hestia-sama usually takes care of this shop so she isn't technically unemployed."
Hearing that, Hestia immediately became proud in front of her friend, "See? I'm not a shut-in anymore!"
However, with Hestia sticking out her chest, Loki became infuriated, "Although I heard that there's almost no customer that comes to this shop which resulted in you to just eat and sleep all day."
"Ugh!"
Not minding Loki's words, Kisuke continued, "I was not expecting a guest today. To whom do I owe this pleasure of the visit from the Goddesses of top Familias?" A simple lie. He wanted to test if they can really tell a lie from truth and to what extent.
Loki and Hephaestus looked towards Kisuke with neutral expressions for a few seconds before Loki spoke up, "Trying to test if lies are really detected?"
Smiling happily, Kisuke replied, "Yep~. And thank you for your response~." Turning around, Kisuke invited everyone inside the shop, "Please come in. I'll prepare some snacks and tea. We can talk after that."
Hestia happily followed Kisuke when she heard about the snacks while Loki and Hephaestus first looked and nodded at each other before entering. However, before she could step inside, Hephaestus' eye caught the cane on Kisuke hand and exclaimed, "W-what's that!?"
"Phae-tan?" "Hephaestus?" Loki and Hestia called out in confusion.
'As expected of the Goddess of Forge... She was able to see through it...' Kisuke thought before chuckling, "As expected of Goddess of Forge~. You were able to see through its trick~."
"Trick? What trick?" Loki asked curiously.
Kisuke then pulled out the blade from the cane, "This is the trick~. My main weapon~. And it was forged in a unique way and probably caught Hephaestus-sama's interest."
Loki has been suspicious of Kisuke all this time as she hasn't heard him lie ever since they first met and thought of the possibility of a mortal capable of lying to Gods. However, his lie earlier gave her a sense of comfort since she was able to detect his lie, causing her to drop a bit of her guard.
So when Loki heard about it being forged in a unique way, she didn't think much of it anymore, contrary to Hephaestus who has an idea of the blade's true identity, 'A child tricking the Goddess of Trickery? A lie born from the truth? Who is he?' She then looked towards Kisuke's eyes and sighed, "Forgive my reaction. It's my first time seeing this forging technique." She decided to play along with him. That way, she can hear more about the blade later.
Loki thought that Hephaestus' reaction is a bit weird but didn't dwell on it further as she too has some things in her mind that she wanted answers from Kisuke.
