Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 362 Family

Kisuke shut and calmed Hestia down by shoving a lollipop in her mouth, “Hestia-sama, just one by one.”

And indeed, Hestia was able to calm down and arrange her thoughts. She sighed and said, “I have so many questions… But I don’t think I’ll understand any of it even if you explain it to me. It’s enough for now that I know that you and your group are strange…”

“Do you regret taking us now?” Kisuke asked. If she didn’t want to ask, that’ll be a lot better for Kisuke as Hestia is right. Even if he explains it to her, nothing will become clear as all of their abilities are literally out of this world. Not bound by this place’s common sense.

Hestia immediately shook her head, “It might be too much for me, but I don’t regret it.” She then stared intently at Kisuke, “Did you know? I didn’t come here just because I’m bored in Heaven…”

Kisuke and the rest looked curiously at her and asked, “Then why?”

She then looked at everyone with a smile on her face, “It’s because I got tired of protecting my ’empty home’~! I went down hoping that I would be able to find something ‘real’… something ‘full of life’…”

Kisuke could only smile wryly at her words, “And I suppose you found that something?”

“Yep~.”

“I don’t think that we’re qualified for that… Considering that we have too much strangeness…”

“So you’re aware that you’re strange…”

“…”

“However, I know for sure that I became closer to you all of you after knowing some parts of your secret~. And that’s enough for me to consider you guys as my family.”

Kisuke sighed and sat down beside her before patting her head, “Please don’t make me feel guilty for tricking you…”

Hestia didn’t mind his hand on her head and replied with a small smile on her face that doesn’t match her childish stature, “I didn’t really care about that. I judged that you people are ‘genuine’ and that’s enough for me.

“Which is why, even though you guys are very capable, it feels like I’m too useless. I can’t even think of a way to help you aside from granting you with my Falna.”

“You didn’t have to worry about that though…”

“As this Familia’s Goddess, I want to contribute something.” Hestia then stood up and went in front of Kisuke with a serious expression, “So if you need something, please tell me! I know you have things that you want to achieve but don’t have any means now, but try telling me about those. Maybe I’ll be able to do something about it!”

‘So what she wants is to contribute something so she doesn’t feel left out… She’s too childish for someone of her age… Well, not that I haven’t met someone like that before…’ Kisuke then proceeded to think of things they needed right now, ‘Hmm… What we really need now is… Weapons… I planned to make Sacred Gear for all of us, but this world’s weapon forging is also fascinating… Alright, let’s go with that.’

Kisuke looked at Hestia’s eyes and replied, “I really need someone who could show me some high-level blacksmithing-”

But before Kisuke could finish his sentence Hestia’s eyes lit up, “I know someone who could help you~!”

“Ah… Is that so…” ‘Does she know some high-level blacksmiths?’ Kisuke thought and said, “In that case, I’ll leave it to you to introduce us, Hestia-sama. And please choose someone who’s trustworthy.”

“Leave it to me! I’ll go to meet her tomorrow!” Hestia thumped her chest which made her chest jiggle in a declaration.

Kisuke wasn’t really expecting much from his request as he already planned to do it himself in the future after they level up to 2, “Well then. Let’s go and follow Koneko and get used to the update. After that, we’ll also go to the Hostess of Fertility to celebrate~.”

“Ohh~!”

It only took Kisuke and Yoruichi a few minutes while Kuroka and Medusa needed an hour or two to get used to the changes in their bodies. Meanwhile, Sona, Aika, and Koneko would need the whole afternoon to move normally so Yoruichi, Kuroka, and Medusa help them by sparring with them.

On the other hand, Kisuke used the whole afternoon to prepare some non-alcoholic drinks that they could enjoy since the three from them couldn’t drink alcohol and the fruit drinks in Mia’s pub isn’t very appealing for the girls who’re used to the modern society where they could get innovative and cultural drinks just about anywhere.

And since he’s going to bring some, he also made enough so that the waitresses could have some and more. It’s also so that Mia couldn’t say anything about bringing their own drinks.

Evening, the group decided to stop what they are doing and made their way towards the Hostess of Fertility.

On their way, while pulling a cart with a large wooden jar on it, Kisuke asked everyone, “I would be leveling up tomorrow. What about you guys?”

“The three of us, especially me, would need to gain more excelia,” Sona answered.

“Same with them, Kuroka, Medusa, and I would dive deeper to get some more of that tasty EX stats… How did you get a full Counter Stop anyway?” Yoruichi asked.

“Ah! I know the answer to that, nya!” Kuroka raised her hand, “That guy, when we’re on the middle floors, would happily jump in a group of monsters alone even if he can’t kill any of them and a single hit from those could end his life. I even witness his limbs fly around a few times… That guy really likes living on the edge.”

With a twitching face, Hestia asked, “Aren’t you afraid to die? You really are a mad man… I’m worried that you can’t go out of the Dungeon, so please stop doing that…”

“I always go for maximum efficiency~!” Kisuke just laughed it off.

“I’m sorry for being proud after just experiencing just one hardship and one flying limb!” Aika suddenly said.

“Aika-chan… Don’t compare yourself to this idiot… Even I won’t do anything like that.” Yoruichi patted Aika’s shoulder to comfort her.

“She says that, but Yoruichi-san would always go one on one with strong monsters. It’s really heart-pounding to watch her always almost getting hit.” Medusa added.

“…Either way… It seems that our hard work isn’t even that hard for you.” Sona muttered, but at the same time, motivation filled her while thinking, ‘Although I can’t compare, I should at least close the distance further.’

While discussing their respective plans, the group reach the ever so lively Hostess of Fertility and when they entered the premise, they instantly attracted the attention of a certain group and each of them is giving them an inquisitive gaze.

Without hesitation, Kisuke gritted the group, “Good evening, Loki-sama and everyone from the Loki Familia~. Fancy meeting you here~.”

Within just a few days, the top executives of the Loki Familia changed on how they look at Kisuke’s group.
