Chapter 237 Wait, You’re Wrong!
As both Ophis and Kisuke enjoying themselves, Kisuke suddenly felt someone approach the house. He took a quick peek and smiled. Kisuke saw Cleria, Masaomi, and their little girl Claire, in their disguises, coming from the opposite side of the street. He immediately deactivated parts of the barrier to let them through.
Cleria and Masaomi immediately noticed the changes in the barrier and they went straight to the door. Before they could knock on it, however, they heard Kisuke’s voice from, “It’s open. Please come in~.”
Cleria and Masaomi looked at each other. But before they could open the door, Claire beat them to it and ran inside, “Kisuke-niisan!” She shouted in delight. Cleria and Masaomi were shocked but both of them smiled wryly and followed her inside. They were confused, however, when they saw Claire stopping at the entrance of the living room. They were about to ask what’s going on when Claire suddenly turned to their direction and ran back, hiding behind Cleria and Masaomi.
Confused, they slowly walked towards the living room and saw the familiar figure of Kisuke… along with an unfamiliar little girl who is around Claire’s age and is currently eating large amounts of sweets that would make any parent shudder in fear, “Kisuke… Good afternoon… I wanted to thank you, but it seems that you’re busy.” Cleria said after she saw the camera in Kisuke’s hand and Ophis’ strange outfit, ‘Did he kidnap her? Lured by sweets? And what’s up with that getup?’ She wanted to trust Kisuke, but after seeing this, she wouldn’t let her daughter alone with him.
“Wait! I know what you’re thinking, but you’re wrong! I didn’t kidnap her, I didn’t lure her, and most importantly, I’m not a lolicon!” Kisuke stood up and defended himself.
“Then just what is she wearing?” Cleria gave him a glare.
“Don’t ask me… She always comes like that.”
Cleria and Masaomi finally inspected Ophis and were shocked that they couldn’t get anything out of her aside from her appearance. They aren’t even sure if she’s a human, “…Who is she?”
“I can’t tell you that yet. Just think of her like a stray cat that comes and goes whenever she felt like it.” Kisuke sat back down and waved towards Claire who is silently watching Ophis eat all the snacks.
Seeing that Ophis isn’t looking at her she slowly approached Kisuke and sat beside him. After thinking for a bit, Kisuke grabbed one of the plates containing chocolate-coated marshmallows and placed it in front of Claire. This action of him finally awaken Ophis from her trance and stopped her assault to look at Kisuke and Claire. As a result, Claire became scared a little and grabbed Kisuke’s arm and hid behind it.
“Phis-chan, it’s more fun if you have someone you can share your snacks with.” Although Kisuke called her differently, she understood that he’s referring to her, “…Fun?”
Ophis thought for a moment before remembering something. She remembered that Kisuke and Aika would always feed her and misunderstood it ‘sharing’. Wanting to see what is ‘fun’ Ophis stood up and picked up a plate of cookies and she approached Claire. Claire, in response, tried to hide more. Even though she didn’t know who Ophis is, she’s fearing her instinctively.
Ophis ignored her reaction and picked up one of the cookies and imitated what Kisuke and Aika did for her by placing the cookie in front of Claire’s mouth. Seeing this, Claire looked up to Kisuke to ask for help, but she saw him only smiling gently at her and most of her fear melted away. Somewhere inside her mind, she knew that Kisuke would be protecting her if something where to happen like those stories told by both her mother and father.
Strengthening her resolve, Claire received the cookie with her mouth, albeit, shaking. Slowly chewing it, she looked up to Ophis and her fear begun to return as she can see a weird glint in her eyes.
Feeling something weird and wanted to experience it again, Ophis repeated her action of feeding scared Claire. It seems her ‘sharing’ led her to a discovery. She kept repeating it until the weird feeling finally became a bit clear and it should be something in the same breath of ‘achievement’. But then again, just her feeding Claire with her precious snacks doesn’t sit well with her, so she stopped the feeding spree and pointed to the cookie, “…Share.” And then pointing to herself.
Claire’s fear also left her and she instantly understood what she wanted. With a bit of hesitation, Claire picked up a cookie and placed it in front of Ophis’ mouth. Since she’s already used to it due to her ‘training’, Ophis immediately took a bite and relished the cookie. Now we have a weird scene where two cute lolis were silently feeding each other. This is Ophis’ idea of ‘sharing’ and this is also the start of their friendship, a friendship born from snacks proving that anyone could be friends regardless of their status.
Kisuke left the two of them and joined the dumbfounded Cleria and Masaomi. They’re not dumbfounded at the current scene but to Ophis’ apparent innocence. To both of them, Ophis looks like a child who started to learn things just recently and trying to adapt that knowledge in her own weird understanding, “Could you tell me where she came from?” Cleria asked. As a mother, seeing a child like that made her a bit concerned.
“She came from nowhere. But you don’t have to worry. I’m already taking care of her.” Kisuke invited them over the dining table.
Cleria didn’t ask anything further as she can tell that the situation is a bit complicated, but she’s also happy for her daughter that she found a friend in an unexpected place. For the next half an hour, Kisuke, Cleria, and Masaomi talked about what happened last night and filled Kisuke with more information since both of them arrived earlier than he did and they also watched the activities after the battle, unlike Kisuke who only focused on his research.
“Hmmm… So that’s the strong aura I felt, huh. I didn’t expect the leader of Heaven would come personally. If I would take a guess… It’s the souls, huh. If they have access to the number of souls passing through the reincarnation process, of course, they would freak out. It could mean a large number of people died all at once, after all.” Kisuke muttered to himself, ‘I did something really big, huh…’
“Now that is out of the way. I wanted to ask you. What happened to Ana?” Cleria drink her tea and asked. It has been bothering her and Masaomi ever since they entered the house and haven’t seen her anywhere. Despite the short stay they had with ‘Ana’, they were quite fond of her.
“Hmm… Ah. She’s fine. She’s currently…” Kisuke was about to say resting, but he suddenly felt a movement in the room where Medusa is resting, “It seems that she woke up…”
Despite just waking up, Kisuke can tell that Medusa is quite energetic as she immediately wandered around the room. After a few moments, she exited the room and went downstairs. At her pace, she’ll reach the living room in just a few seconds.
“I see… So her problem was solved?” Cleria sighed in relief.
“Ye-…!?” Kisuke kept looking at the entrance to the living room and anticipated Medusa’s arrival. But when she arrived, he was gobsmacked, ‘Oh crap! I forgot!’
Seeing his reaction, Cleria and Masaomi also looked over to the entrance and saw a little girl with long beautiful purple hair who only has a blanket covering her naked body and panting slightly.
Without any word, both Cleria and Masaomi took out their mobile phones and dialed the emergency hotline.
“Wait! You got it wrong!”
