章節 725: To the Twilight Manor part 2

After some drinks were served, Loki asked the others to leave them alone for a while except for Line. At least until those who are coming back from training arrive.

After looking at Kisuke's belly and the sack he brought, Loki asked, "Mind giving me a bit of a heads up about what you're going to pull here? Just so that I can react properly and maybe give you an assist if needed."

"That's very kind of you, but I want to see everyone's reaction without your input. I don't want you to sway their decisions seeing you have the power to do that."

Loki slumped back to the couch, "Well, I at least think it won't be a nasty surprise. So anything else?"

"Ah, that's right. I haven't told everyone, but we're leaving Orario."

Line's eyes widened while Loki's expression became serious, "What for?"

Kisuke thought for a moment before answering, "Nothing much. Just a change of scenery, I guess. And the girls would have more freedom at our destination compared to this place where most information is public."

"I just decided on it last night so I haven't asked everyone, but I don't think they would disagree. And by any chance they disagree, I can always cancel it."

Loki scratched her head, "But I don't think you could leave peacefully. Your girls are really attractive in the eyes of Deities. And it doesn't help that no one among them really knows anything about you and looks down on you. They thought that you're just some figurehead that knows how to sweet talk. If not for you, I would have put in great effort just to recruit them.

"Though you must have done something to Freya since she's not making a single move on anyone in your Familia. Ultimately, that sultry bitch was even more fond of talented and unique children than me."

Kisuke chuckled at Loki's words and replied, "No need to worry about that. I already got an official send-off from the Guild so they can't really say anything if we were to leave."

"Hmmm... Looks like you already prepared everything you would need. I should have known," Loki muttered as she rubbed her chin. She then took a quick glance at Line on her side. As someone who watches her children carefully, including Line, although it's not obvious to everyone, Loki could tell that Line was dejected, 'Of course this would happen.'

After thinking for a few seconds, Loki finally asked, "How about taking Line-chan with you?"

"Loki-sama!?" Surprised, Line exclaimed. Although she thought of asking the same thing, she held it back due to her responsibilities within the Familia, which had increased along with her abilities. But undeniably, Line was happy inside, however, she didn't show it on her face.

'Where did this cute girl come from?' Loki saw the corner of her mouth twitching as she tried to hold back smiling.

Kisuke also noticed this but didn't comment on it, "I'm fine with that, but are you sure? This is the time you'll need her the most, right?"

"That's true. Her healing abilities were beyond outstanding and she's also able to teach others Magic. However, her incredible ability to heal also dwarfs the other healers' abilities and confidence."

Kisuke immediately understood her point, "I see. Having her around is good, but it's so good that it's actually bad for the other's development. That's what you're saying, correct?"

Loki nodded, "That's right. Line-chan's existence is like a big cushion that gives them too much comfort. And you know how much of an impediment to development extreme comfort could bring." She then looked towards Line, who was now making a complicated expression, "Aside from that, thanks to Riveria's prior experience, she's now better at handling Magic in general than Line."

Line also slowly nodded while adding, "I still can't use any Space Magic but Riveria-sama can already open a small pocket of storage."

"Wisdom really does come with old age," Kisuke commented while displaying his admiration.

"Say that in front of her and she'll whack you with her staff nonstop..." Loki then thought of something, "Actually, do that. She may try to whack you, but I think she'll do it with a blush on her face."

"I see... That might actually be a fair trade. Yosh~! My camera is always prepared!"

Seeing the black box in Kisuke's hands, Line panicked, "Please don't! Or she might blackout again! Loki-sama! Don't you remember the time you kept teasing her to the point that rampaged for a whole day without anyone being able to stop her!? We don't want another tragedy like that! She might just confiscate your wine stash and ban alcohol for a month this time!"

Loki shuddered at that possibility and hurriedly turned to Kisuke, "Let's do that another time."

Kisuke couldn't fight back against Loki's serious expression and put his camera back in his storage.

Clearing her throat, Loki continued, "Ehem. In any case, take Line-chan with you. Her rate of improvement should also increase with you and since she's my child, it's also a win-win situation for me."

"That's not a problem. In fact, I want her to meet someone in the Dizara Region. I think they'll get along well." Kisuke then turned to Line, "Do you need any time to prepare?"

"N-no," Line immediately shook her head, "Thanks to the bag you gave me, I always have my essentials with me, including your books. I just need to pack some of my clothes and I'll be done."

"That's fine. If they agree to my proposal, come and have dinner with us. We'll leave after that."

"Understood!" Line happily nodded.

"By the way, don't tell anyone that you're leaving," Loki suddenly interjected.

Line looked at her for a moment and understood what she meant and to some degree, Kisuke did too, "Wait. You're thinking that someone else might want to follow us?"

Loki immediately snarled at him, "Huuuh!? You can't think of anyone!? Want me to drill my toes into your nose so that you'll remember!?"

Kisuke closed his eyes and started to genuinely contemplate while muttering, "Riveria-san might want to come because of Magic, but I doubt she'll leave her responsibilities and that's the same for the other two top executives."

"As for the Hiryute sisters... I don't think they need anything from me."

"Bete-san and Viridis-san hate my guts so it's a no for them too."

"As for Wallenstein-san..." Kisuke recalled yesterday's scene where Ais suddenly ran off when she saw him, "Nope~ She was terrified of me so she's not the one either."

Kisuke opened his eyes and said with a large smile, "No one really comes to mind."

Loki and Line looked at each other in shock before turning back to Kisuke and simultaneously asking, " "Terrified?" "

28th00: Kisuke see’s it as Ais being terrified, while the others think it’s a crush. But as far as Kisuke has seen, she’s literally bolted as fast and hard as possible in the exact opposite direction from him so far every time he’s seen her. 

Riveria being told she’s old by Kisuke would be pretty funny, since he’s absolutely ancient compared to her. No clue on Elf/High-Elf lifespans in Danmachi, but Kisuke should have a couple centuries on Riveria, who is only just entering her second century right now.

Goyya: It’s still fun to tease her about her age. And in a Shinigami’s point of view, their age is just a concept since they’re not really imprisoned in flesh suits that get old fast, even though they still age, albeit, very slowly.

章節 726: Lysa part 1

"Just yesterday, when she saw me on the streets, she instantly ran away. There's no way that girl would want to come with me.", explained Kisuke.

"She did that?", asked Loki, "If she's going to be terrified of someone, it would be Sera-chan."

Kisuke was surprised that Serafall's name had suddenly come up and Loki noticed that and continued on, "Before the whole Knossos subjugation started, Ais-chan felt that her strength was not enough to match the red-haired Creature. In an attempt to bridge that gap, she decided to find someone to help her get stronger. The strongest person that she knew, aside from you, was Sera-chan. Though I was really surprised when she agreed."

'She was probably bored with too much free time.', thought Kisuke.

"Serafall-san came to the manor after Ais-san asked her. After that, it was just a one-sided beatdown. It was so bad that I had to stay by Ais-san's side at all times so that she could continue fighting. But...", Line hesitated before continuing, "But what scared her the most... No... What scared all of us, was her intent to kill. It was so clear that it was actually suffocating. We didn't expect any of that from the usually cheerful person."

"What Wallenstein-san needed the most was not the strength to match her opponent, but the intent to kill for her to actually use her full power against the Creature that looks like a Human. Sera-chan understood that and drowned her with killing intent so that she could develop her own.", clarified Kisuke, 'Though it seems to have backfired, 'cause that same killing intent ended up consuming her.'

It was then that Loki suddenly asked, "I was there, too, for most of the time and for her to manifest such killing intent... Just how many people has she killed?"

Line immediately shut her mouth and waited nervously. She didn't understand why Loki would suddenly ask such a question.

Kisuke didn't mind her question and answered truthfully, "She's participated in and led armies to wars spanning decades. After it had all ended, she had to exercise her authority to stabilize everything. If she couldn't develop a killing intent like that, she would have never led one of the largest armies, nor would she have survived to sit in one of the highest positions in her country."

Loki nodded in understanding, "I see... Someone who has already experienced the horrors of war from top to bottom, huh? If it's like that, then it's understandable. The fact that she can act so cheerfully like that is amazing, too."

Seeing the situation had ended well, Line sighed in relief too. However, she was curious about one thing and asked, "Wars spanning several decades, isn't it? Just how old is Serafall-san?"

Kisuke thought for a moment before answering, "I'm not too sure either and she'll surely try to kill me if I attempt to investigate it. But she's way older than Riveria-san, that's for sure."

"What!? Isn't she a Human!?"

Kisuke just smiled at her and replied, "Line-chan, people of her strength have a life expectancy beyond common sense. Once you've reached a certain stage of Magic or Ki, you'll also gain a body strong enough to contend with them. At that point, you'll be beyond healthy and diseases and failures of the body would be the least of your concern."

Before Line could say anything back, the other members of the Loki Familia finally arrived with Finn leading the group, "Loki, we're here. Kisuke Urahara, welcome to the Twilight Manor. We're sorry for making you wait."

"Don't worry about it. Loki-sama and Line-chan were here with me and I'm the one who came unannounced. I apologize for that."

As Line stood up, Finn, Riveria and Gareth all sat down surrounding Loki while the rest just gathered around them. But instead of them, the first one Kisuke noticed was Ais who was hiding behind Tiona with a worried look on her face, 'She's really weak to being scolded, huh. Must be the first time she came across someone like me. I guess even Riveria-san could completely take the role of a parent for her.'

"Let's drop the formalities. That would only waste both of our time, even if we have lots of it." Finn started.

Kisuke nodded at him, "That's what I wanted. You must have already heard it, but I want the Loki Familia to take in a Xenos." Kisuke started untying the rope on the sack, "More specifically, I want Viridis-san to take care of her."

Lefiya was shocked that her name actually came up and pointed at herself nervously, "M-me?"

However, before Kisuke could answer or reveal who's in the sack, his bulging belly started squirming around before the small White Dragon peek its head outside, surprising everyone and putting them on high alert.

The Dragon did a quick scan before it excitedly leapt out of Kisuke's clothes and flew towards Ais in the back, [Aria!]

But contrary to the joyful Dragon, Ais was having a murderous look. She couldn't even hear the Dragon's 'voice', which further shocked the rest as she was already blinded with hate and rage. Without any warning, she swung her fist using all of her strength in hopes to instantly kill the Dragon.

Riveria wanted to stop her because she had a feeling that she was making a very grave mistake but it was already too late for her to interfere, "Ais!" She could only hope for Kisuke to save the Dragon.

The little Dragon finally noticed that something was not right with 'Aria' and felt extreme danger from her. However, it was already too late to return to safety and it could only watch the fist descend to it with fear.

"Danku (Splitting Void).", muttered Kisuke.

A small transparent rectangular barrier appeared in front of the Dragon and stopped Ais's fist.

Ais woke up from her stupor when she felt the pain in her fist, but before she could take it back, a small lump of Magic Power suddenly struck her forehead, sending her head back and making her kneeling in pain, "Ow!"

But thanks to that pain, she finally realized what just happened and got scared that she attempted to kill the monster that came from Kisuke, 'It's obvious that he's keeping it... What did I do?'

She immediately looked up to apologize but her words were stuck in her throat when she saw the small White Dragon floating in front of her. Not because of its form, but it's strange eyes full of emotion and currently radiating with sadness. For the first time, she was feeling guilty about trying to attack a monster and she was incredibly confused by it.

[...Aria...]

"W-what?" She finally heard its 'voice'.

But the Dragon suddenly turned and flew back to Kisuke's arms, [Aria!!!]

It was as if it was a wronged child that was seeking comfort.

Hugging it with his right arm and patting its head with her left hand, Kisuke started consoling the poor little Dragon, "Yosh, yosh. Don't cry. Uncle Kisuke is here. I already flicked the head of that bad girl so don't cry. Here, you like sweets, right?"

This surreal scene further made everyone speechless.

28th00: Ah, her mental state is really not kosher, huh? 

Alexander: Now it’s time for Ais to sit in Seiza and repent.
