章節 917: Chapter 917 Finally Back At Home

Riveria saw the ground coming closer but it was already too late for her to react and for some reason, she couldn't muster her Demonic Power nor the Magic Power in the surroundings to even slow down her descent through Magic.

Riveria closed her eyes to protect it but instead of the feeling of smacking herself hard, an arm caught her waist and stopped her from falling, "Got you!" Aika followed her with Flash Step and caught her.

"T-thank you." Aika assisted Riveria to get up, "I failed to take into account a few things when I tried it."

"Are you also practicing this Flash Step? Is that why you ask me to show it to you?"

However, Riveria's answer would shock her, "No. That's the first time I did it."

"...Uhmmm... Did you mean that no one had taught you how to do it and you just imitated how I did it?" Aika asked while Riveria was dusting herself off.

But instead of giving a straight answer, Riveria's eyes lit up in excitement, "I just need to watch it a few more times and I think I should be able to learn it! I just need to figure out how you meld two different energies together and substitute it with Demonic Power!"

"I'm sorry, but I won't be able to help you with that. I knew I learned this at some point in the past, but I can only honestly do it instinctively and won't be able to describe how I'm doing it. I don't even know what these two energies you're talking about are."

The Magic Circles and halo returned to Riveria as she turned towards Aika before saying, "That's fine. That's where this ability shines."

Aika could only follow Riveria's instructions not knowing how ridiculous this situation really is, especially with how Riveria was trying to substitute Ki and Reiryoku with Demonic Power that had completely different properties. Not that the latter was aware of it either.

If Kisuke knew this was happening, he might've just dropped what he was doing and joined the two of them.

"Finally back!" Irina shouted as she stretched her arms after coming out of the teleporter that brought them back to their original world.

"This is his new hideout? He really went ahead with a sci-fi theme." Sona commented after looking around the Teleportation room.

Aside from Yoruichi and Serafall who chose to stay behind for a number of reasons, everyone else made it back for the first time in a few months.

As per their instructions, the group stayed inside the room for a few minutes to get a few passes of the decontamination procedure that was set in place so that they wouldn't have to go through what Riveria had experienced.

A few minutes later, the lock on the doors were undone and Cleria, Sarah and Lilith came in to welcome everyone, "Welcome back, everyone."

Seeing them, the first one to run and jump on them was Claire, "Mama!"

"Claire!", Cleria also stepped forward before crouching down to catch her daughter and giving her a tight hug, "Did you miss mama?"

"Un!" Claire nodded vigorously while returning her mother's hug and burying her head in her chest. Although they had been talking regularly, this was the first time in a while for her to feel her mother's warmth and she couldn't help but tear up a little in delight.

Seeing that Claire didn't want to separate from her, Cleria picked her up with one arm. She then set her sights on Tanis, who had been staring at them quietly, "Come here, Tanis-chan."

Tanis stood there for a few seconds before meekly approaching Cleria. As to not startle her, Cleria slowly took her other hand from Claire's back and patted Tanis' head, "Welcome home." She knew that it'd be hard for her to accept any other place as her home, but Cleria wanted to pass a message to her that this was her home too.

Tanis looked at her with shining eyes and spread her arms to hug her waist.

Sarah, on the other hand, looked for Ophis, but she and the others noticed that she'd already come face to face with Lilith and they were staring quietly while holding each other's hand, 'Is that their way of communicating?'

"Do you want to look around before going back?"

Sona tilted her head at Sarah's question, "Is there something special in this hideout?"

Sarah smiled happily and answered, "Yes. We're currently on Mars, actually."

"...Huh...?" Sona, including Koneko, Kuroka, Irina, and Akeno had dumbfounded expressions while Medusa just nodded to herself with 'As expected of Master' clearly written on her face.

After being given a tour of the first manmade structure on Mars because its owner was too insecure to build it on Earth, only Claire, Tanis, Ophis, and Medusa returned to the Belial Manor as the rest went to visit their respective families and friends. They'd intended to stay there for a while until Kisuke turned up again or something big happened.

Although they were aware that Riveria had also come to this side, Sarah refused to say where she was and reminded them not to approach Aika for the time being.

"Now then..." Sarah turned to Medusa after sending off the girls, "I'm sorry to impose this on you since you have only just returned, but I can only trust you to watch Riveria and Aika-chan."

Medusa was a bit surprised and asked, "They're together?"

Sarah chuckled, "A happy coincidence. However, their identities are complicated enough that I can't entrust this to the others, and aside from Kuroka, Yoruichi, Serafall-sama and you, no one can actually approach them without being detected."

Medusa thought about it for a moment, 'Kuroka wanted to see her friends and Yoruichi and Serafall are not here, so it's only me who won't be detected. But me being undetected? If Aika has truly reawakened, then it'll be extremely hard to hide from her. Looks like no one on this side actually knows how much she can do.'

"How are you keeping track of their position?"

"We've set up a large perimeter throughout the entire forest and included Aika-chan's place in it. As long as those two leave that place, we'll be able to tell. However, the manpower needed for this is stretching our capacity, so I'd like you to replace them soon."

Medusa nodded, "Of course. I'll gladly do it. Please leave this to me."

Sarah sighed in relief, "Thank you. I don't think they'll stay there for long, so you should be able to take it easy soon."

"But what if they are able to spot me? Especially Aika. Her instincts are frighteningly good that I'm not confident in hiding from her."

Sarah became silent for a few seconds before answering, "I'll leave the decision to you since it's not really my place to say anything."

"Understood."

28th00: Yes, he built it on Mars. I’m kinda sad they didn’t get to explore Ophis’ M.C. Escher infinite castle, since I remember it BEING inside the Mars Base… Ophis and Lilith have completed the Infinite Dragon Loli Circuit with the strongest and most dangerous of powers! Handholding while staring deeply into each other's eyes… Truly, Dragons are unfathomable degenerates!

Goyya: I prepared a castle-building chapter but not for now. They are still missing a member… I wonder if ‘that’ could be called a member?

章節 918: Chapter 918 New ‘Baby’ Sitter

Medusa immediately departed as soon as she got ready and the first thing she did was to try getting in contact with Kisuke. Thankfully, after a few rings, Kisuke was able to pick up her call, "Medusa~ Glad to see that you've arrived safely. How are the others?"

"Everyone arrived safely as well, but I'm worried about those who are left behind.", replied Medusa while hearing small explosions going off in the background, although it was being muffled, "Are you busy?"

"Quite, but not really enough to keep me from speaking with you." Kisuke replied with a chuckle, "And regarding Yoruichi, Serafall, Hestia-sama, and Artemis-sama, there's nothing that can be done as of now. All we can do is trust them. Besides, the situation over there is already stable. The only threat is the parasite within the Dungeon, but that's not our problem to solve. We've done enough to give them the necessary arsenal to take that on."

"So there's nothing else that would happen aside from that?"

"As long as the Black Dragon isn't defeated, nothing else should happen. However, we don't know everything and something like the descent of the Gods could happen anytime."

"But that's still not our problem, right?"

"It isn't. We only took care of the three Gods' descent because they were convenient as the girls' practice partners. Even if we didn't get involved, Chaos or the Dungeon would have taken care of it themselves. Though if the situation was something that could earn us favors from Gods, I think Yoruichi would move out to secure those."

'I hope I can earn that trust from you in the future too.' Medusa smiled softly as her beautiful long purple hair swayed in the air, "Then I'll put my worries to rest."

"How about your sisters? Are they with you?"

"No," Medusa shook her head, "After feeling Athena's lingering Divine Power within the Belial Mansion, they refused to come out."

"That's too bad, but I won't ask you and your sisters to get along with her. It also doesn't matter if your hostility towards her disappears or not, so don't force yourself if you think you should be friendly with her just for my sake."

"I'll be sure to convey this to them." Medusa was very thankful that Kisuke was making this clear as she did have the idea of getting along with Athena despite her not feeling good about it for Kisuke's sake, "By the way, I'm currently being asked to look after Riveria and Aika by Sakura-san. If they are planning to stay for long in the forest, I doubt I could hide from Aika. I want your opinion in case I'm discovered."

"You can do whatever you want, but in my opinion, you don't have to hide. Just join them and you'll have an easier time."

"I can do that?"

"Of course. I'll apologize to her parents later and tell them the whole story. Aika only needs a strong shock to unlock all of her memories in any case."

Medusa was confused at his words for a few moments but recalled the current state of affairs and understood what he meant, "Show her the other side of reality, huh?"

"It'll be her baptism and maybe Riveria-san's too. I'll leave it to you."

"I'll do my best, but you will need to apologize to Aika herself too."

"...I don't want to get punched on the face, though?"

Medusa giggled, "It's a cheap price, don't you think?"

"...Put in some good words for me?"

"I'll try, but I doubt that'll do anything."

The two of them talked for a bit more before Kisuke disconnected because he couldn't afford to speak anymore. At that time, Medusa had also reached the forest and used her eyes to scan the traces of Magic Power before following it. It didn't take too long for her to locate the two, but before she could reveal her presence, she stopped and watched Riveria perform a Flash Step in shock, 'Did Kisuke teach her how to do that? But that's strange... I can only find a small trace of Ki and that shouldn't be enough to perform that technique.'

But as she further watched, she could only exclaim inwardly, 'Demonic Power!? As far as I know, neither Kisuke nor Yoruichi had developed the Flash Step to be usable with Demonic Power! How is she doing it!?'

"Who's there!?" Aika turned around in her direction in panic. The fluctuation in Medusa's emotion created a discernable wave through her camouflage and revealed the soul pressure that she had been trying to hide from Aika.

Riveria also stopped whatever she was doing and grabbed her staff, ready to respond to any threat.

Medusa sighed to herself and revealed herself by coming out of the shadows, "I'm sorry for startling you both." she said while also thinking, 'Good thing I talked to Kisuke before coming here... I was discovered a minute after arriving.'

Aika was very surprised when she detected a person that was already incredibly close to them. And while her beauty was phenomenal, what caught her attention the most were her jewel-like eyes behind her glasses.

"Medusa?" Riveria muttered, "You've returned?"

Aika turned to Riveria and asked, "Your friend?"

Riveria was a bit startled and looked at Medusa with a wry smile, "That's a bit sad, isn't it?"

Medusa nodded with the same wry smile, "Truly. Though, not for long."

"W-what's up?" asked the confused Aika.

Riveria turned back to her and said, "We're, at most, acquaintances. But for you, she's a dear friend."

To that disclosure, Aika didn't know how to react and could only bow her head and say, "I-I'm sorry!"

Medusa approached her and put her right hand on her shoulder while she used her left hand to lift her head. As soon as Aika met her eyes, she saw a gentle smile coming from Medusa, "Please don't apologize. You did nothing wrong."

Aika could only stare blankly at her and after a few seconds, tears started to silently fall from her eyes, "...Eh?"

She didn't know what came over her, but she was feeling incredibly happy for some reason and she couldn't help but tear up. Aika immediately tried wiping her tears, but they were not stopping.

Seeing this, Medusa slowly leaned forward and wrapped her arms around her, "It's okay. Everything is fine."

Aika didn't know what she meant but the warmth and reassurance during her confusion opened the floodgate as she began to sniffle before grabbing Medusa. She didn't know who Medusa was, but this stranger's presence seemed to be what she'd wanted all along.

28th00: Yeah, a punch to the face is coming for Kisuke, for sure. I’d say a kick to the crotch, but this is Aika, she’s going to want to use said crotch quite vigorously after such a long and emotional dry spell...
