Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 371 Insurance Material Acquired

The group of four followed Riveria inside the shop while staring blankly at her and now they’re inside the living room when Kisuke came out of the kitchen bringing food, “Have you had your lunch yet?”

The ever so honest Tiona immediately answered, “No, we haven’t”

“Great, please join us. This is too much for just the two of us.”

The four girls looked at each other not knowing what to do and then looked towards Riveria who sat down on the dining table to continue her meal, “Can we sit there?” Tione pointed at the group of a couch with a center table at the center.

“Sure, go ahead.” Kisuke then proceeded to place the food on the center table and gave everyone enough utensils to use.

The girls then absentmindedly thank Kisuke for the meal and quietly sat around the center table. They all grabbed their foods in an awkward while also quietly staring at Kisuke’s retreating back until he sat back down in front of Riveria to finish his food.

“Are you sure you don’t want to say something?” Kisuke asked the Elf in front of him.

Riveria finally had a chance to taste the food as the arrival of the girls made her put her thoughts back in place and is now enjoying the simple but richly flavored fried foods, “Let them be. If I say something now, it’ll come out as me being defensive. By the way, how can you pull out this kind of flavor?”

‘I wonder if that’s a good idea…’ Kisuke thought, but he instead entertained Riveria’s question because he knew that Riveria doesn’t want to talk about their previous topic with others around, “I used some herb and spices on the batter. If you want I can give you the recipe.”

“That would be wonderful.” Riveria smiled as she likes cooking in her free time if she’s not studying. It’s one way she relieves her stress.

While the two are casual talking, Tiona couldn’t help but whisper to Lefiya, “Hey… Lefiya… Do the Elves have a strange tradition that they could only be touch by one man in their whole life?”

“As far as I know… There’s nothing like that…”

“They why is she talking casually to that guy? Shouldn’t she hate his guts?”

“I-I don’t know…”

Tione then suggested something absurd as she recalls the events of last night, “…Could it be she finally awakened her sexual urges and here for the continuation of that?”

Ais and Lefiya were heated up when the image of Riveria seductively moaning entered their heads, ‘A continuation of that?’

However, their heads instantly cooled down when they suddenly felt an unnaturally but familiar stare. They then looked towards the source of it who’s Riveria, “Stop saying that nonsense. I’m here for official business.”

If glare could kill, there would be multiple holes in their bodies. They couldn’t meet her glare so they just focused on the food which they found delicious and just kept eating it to forget about the ‘predator’ watching them.

Riveria didn’t continue glaring at them for long and asked, “Anway, what are you doing here?”

Since the other three are still afraid, Ais answered her, “…I want pepper spray. I heard that I could get it here.”

“Pepper spray?” Riveria turned to Kisuke, “You’re selling it here?”

“I don’t… But if she got a referral, then I can.” Kisuke then asked Ais, “Wallenstein-san, who told you could buy it here?”

“Sona Sitri… I met them outside the dungeon along with Line and asked if you’re selling those.”

“What are you going to use it for? I doubt that you need it.”

“It’s very hard for me to hold back and I didn’t want to hurt people… so…” Ais voice trailed off, but she’s hoping that Kisuke would understand her plight.

And indeed, Kisuke understood her problem, “I see… So even as strong as you are, you’re still a very beautiful maiden. You’d be the target of rude gazes all the time.”

Ais felt a little embarrassed being complimented straightforwardly and nodded, “I can’t hurt them… I’ll cause trouble for everyone…”

Hearing this, the Hiryute sisters immediately reacted, “What are you talking about Ais!? If you don’t like it, just give them a punch on the face! No need to hold back!”

“That’s right! If anyone aside from captain took liberties from me, I’ll beat them until I broke all of his limbs!”

“Ais-san! You could also tell Loki-sama about those guys! I’m sure she’ll do something!” Lefiya also suggested.

Ais then told Lefiya with a straight face, “I’ll also use it against Loki.”

She couldn’t say anything back after that.

Kisuke chuckled and said, “I can give it to you.”

However, like Riveria, Ais doesn’t want to fall for his tricks and asked, “For what price?”

“Don’t worry about it. Riveria-san will cover the cost.”

“Huh? Wait! I want to hear how much it cost first!” Riveria wouldn’t accept it.

Kisuke smiled and said, “Just think of it as an addition to things that will stop you from tricking me.”

Riveria’s mouth twitches and muttered, “Tricking you… you say…”

“Yep. I’m just a small business owner, after all, and you’re from one of the largest and strongest Familia in Orario. I need some insurance.”

“Wait… You mentioned one of the things…” Riveria finally noticed something wrong with his words, “What are the others?” She asked nervously.

Pretending that he only remembered now, Kisuke took out a small black box with several buttons on its surface, “Oh… oh right… You don’t know about this… I forgot.”

Even though she doesn’t know what this box does, bad premonition entered her mind and asked, “W-what’s that?”

Kisuke’s smile became bigger and pressed the button in the middle of the box, “Something I saved for posterity.”

They were all wondering what he meant but a few seconds later, they were all frozen on their spots as a familiar voice came out of the black box, “AHH~♡.”

It repeated for a few more times before the shaking and almost teary-eyed Elf jumped on Kisuke to grab the black box without regard to herself, “Stop!!!” The image that Riveria built this past few decades was broken with just a single recording by the nefarious shopkeeper.

Kisuke dodged the Elf by stepping the to the side before she could even make her move and kept the high-definition sound recorder.

Gritting her teeth and glaring at grinning Kisuke, Riveria spoke, “What do you mean insurance? That’s blackmail!”

“Insurance and blackmail… I hear the same thing. For someone like me who has a very weak position compared to you, it’s essential.”

Riveria agreed to what he said. Right now, she needs something from him and with their position, she has the power to push him around. Although she wouldn’t do it, it’s a real concern and to promote proper exchange between them with classified information, it’s essential to have almost the same position or power.

However, she still couldn’t calm down despite that. Even if that recording couldn’t hurt her, her image would be and even if she doesn’t care about her image, she’d be too embarrassed to go out if that were to spread.

Kisuke just got hold of one of the weaknesses of the prideful Elf.
