章節 381: The Three Goddesses

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.


章節 382: Soul Art

Once Kisuke set a slice of apple pie to each one of the Goddesses along with some tea, he sat down and started, "Once again, I'm honored to be able to entertain all of you... But why don't we skip the formalities and talk about your business here today?"

"Right! I don't really like formalities, so I'm going to ask directly." Loki then opened her eyes slightly and stared down on Kisuke, "Care to explain what happened last night?"

"Loki... I agreed with you to come here... But you can't force him to tell you anything." Hestia immediately responded... and then proceeded to take a bit from her apple pie.

"Shut it, brat! If not for my help, then an annoying woman would be coming after your children and you won't be able to do anything about it. So I at least has some right to know what exactly took place."

Hephaestus only quietly ate her apple pie and drunk her tea as she's only originally here because she didn't want Loki to come alone and pressure Hestia to do anything.

"Then I really do owe you an explanation." Kisuke answered, "First of all, let me thank you for covering up my blunder."

"Enough of that."

Kisuke didn't mind her words and explained, "I have this peculiar ability to enter a strange space inside me which I call my inner world."

All three of them then looked at him with surprise expressions, "Inner world?" Loki asked to confirm.

"Yes... That's what I call it at least."

The three Goddesses stopped what they're doing to think about his words for a moment. Kisuke understood their sudden quietness as the Gods probably has the same ability as default and this is their first time seeing or hearing someone who claims that can do the same. However, Kisuke maintained his poker face so that he would let out any of his thoughts. It's better to be suspected than caught lying when he makes a confused expression.

A minute later, Loki spoke again, "And? What does it have to do with last night's event?"

"Last night was the first time I've done it since receiving my Falna from Hestia-sama. When I entered my inner world, I noticed that there's a flaming golden orb that quietly floats around and I tried to touch it. It then suddenly connected me to Hestia-sama and I was able to talk to her through her mind. I don't know what happened on your side last night, but that's all I can tell from my side."

Loki confirmed that he isn't lying so she asked another question, "What else is inside this inner world of yours?"

"I believe that's only for me to know. Telling you the flaming golden orb is already my limit."

Loki scratched her head but she also didn't mind Kisuke's response as she's only trying her luck and see if he would answer. She then started eating her pie and drunk all of her tea before standing up, "Then I'll take my leave. I'm done here."

"Let me bring you outside." Kisuke also stood up and started walking beside her. The other two Goddesses didn't follow them and just enjoyed their snacks.

Once they got outside, Loki turned to Kisuke and suddenly asked with a smile, "How were you able to hide your soul from that woman?"

A tricky question, but something Kisuke is already expecting and is also something that he doesn't mind answering to further improve his relationship with this Goddess, "I wonder what you're talking about~?" He answered with a big smile.

Loki chuckled, "Thank you for your response~." Although she wasn't able to uncover his method, she was able to confirm that Kisuke was able to hide his soul from Freya, 'If he truly can enter his soul space, then it's impossible for him to have an ordinary soul.'

Kisuke didn't respond to that further and asked what he needed to know, "What about the deal between your Familia and my Hestia Familia?"

Shrugging her shoulders, she answered, "It's those children who'll take care of it. Just promise me that you wouldn't hurt them."

"I can't promise that."

Loki's eyes became sharp as she faces Kisuke. However, she waited for the continuation of his words.

"But I can promise that as long as we don't become enemies, I won't do anything that would become detrimental to them."

Loki's pressure eased up as she heard that, "I guess that's fine..." She then recalled something, "Right. What about Line-chan? She asked for my permission yesterday and I assume that you already know what is this all about."

"If you're asking about that, then I assume that you already gave her your permission. Well then, let me get straight to the point. Would you agree to transfer her to our Familia?"

"No." An immediate answer.

Sighing, Kisuke has no choice but to ask, "Will you be willing to reset her level?" Kisuke didn't ask if she can as he's pretty sure that she's at least capable of that.

Loki looked at Kisuke's eyes again, but this time, with a bit of animosity, "Do you know what you are asking?"

"Please enlighten me of the consequences," Kisuke replied simply.

Loki put her index finger on Kisuke's chest and put pressure on it as if she wanted to pierce through it, "It might be possible, but that is only meant for extreme punishment! For level 1, it wouldn't have much of an effect. For level 2, permanent injury is assured. For level 3, there are 9 out of 10 chance of death. For level 4 and above, death is assured and reincarnation is impossible!"

"I see..." Kisuke nodded, "I may not be able to do something about those in level 3 and above, but I can assure you the safety of a level 2... Coincidentally, Arshe-san is just a level 2."

Loki's eyes widened in shock at what she heard, "...You bastard... You're directly dabbling with soul?"

And Kisuke didn't need to answer that.

"That's a forbidden art, you know!"

"That doesn't mean I can't use it."

"If other Gods and Goddesses, especially those who look after balance and death, were to know of this, they'll be hunting you even if your soul is the process of reincarnation!"

"Figures."

Loki then started scratching her head in frustration, "Ahhh! What the hell! Do you think this is a joke!"

"Of course not."

"Then how can you act so nonchalantly! There's a possibility that you'll be damned for eternity!"

"It seems like you're misunderstanding the nature of my ability."

"What?"

"Soul manipulation... You're thinking of it as something that breaks the balance of the world and disrespect for death."

"Is it not? A mortal using such art would only result in that! There's already precedence!"

'There's precedence? Interesting...' But Kisuke knew that he should first focus on Loki, "I can assure you that I, of all people, respect balance and death." 'After all, I'm a Shinigami.'

Loki experienced another shock as she knew that he isn't lying. Kisuke just used the Gods' biggest advantage in the mortal world against one, 'A mortal who isn't corrupted by the art...? What is he?'
