Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 434 Cooperation

The next day, Kisuke and Hephaestus resumed their work but before he started, he passed a book to Yoruichi and asked her to pass it on to Riveria when she arrived, “This contains all that she needs to know when she gets started. Tell her that I’m only giving her the starting line and she has to work hard to make sense of the rest. And regarding the specific subjects of magic, tell her that we’ll take that on once she’s settled her basics.”

Yoruichi received the book and nodded, “Got it. But just what happened yesterday? After she ran out while making a weirdly amorous expression, you locked yourself up.”

“Ahh, that. To write that book regarding her physiology, I had to examine her body, especially her ears which seem to act as an antenna for Mana.”

“And?”

“I didn’t know that it was an erogenous zone…”

Yoruichi could already imagine how it ended, but she still ended up asking, “And you overdid it?”

Kisuke smiled brightly and answered, “I overdid it.”

Yoruichi did a facepalm while sighing, “Haaah… What am I going to do with you.”

“Well, nothing we can really do about that. It already happened. And it’s not like she didn’t get anything out of it. That book should be pretty important for her and she should be able to forget everything once she starts studying her magic again. That woman is a magic maniac.”

“Fine. By the way, will you be able to finish the Sacred Gears? We haven’t received confirmation, but I think that the Loki Familia Captain will allow the trio’s participation in the expedition that will happen in 4 days.” Yoruichi asked in concern. She has a feeling that something big is waiting for them on the deeper floors and she wanted those Sacred Gears for the girls for added protection.

“Things are progressing much faster than I expected and it’s probably because I got the help of the Goddess of Smithing, so it will be done when we get out again.” Kisuke was still in awe when he remembered how he witnessed Hephaestus’s technical skills which were largely better than his when it comes to forging. ‘So this is a Goddess of Smithing? Interesting.’ Was what he thought at that time.

“Goodluck~.” After giving Kisuke a good luck kiss, Yoruichi turned around and walked towards the girls who were having their morning practice.

An hour later, Riveria and Ais came again. While Ais was just the same as ever, Riveria, on the other hand, kept looking around with a worried expression. Line didn’t come with them because she was already here. She stayed with the trio even when diving into the Dungeon in order to get her old Level back and to surpass it. Ais wanted the same treatment, but Kisuke rejected her as it was only for Line who became his student.

Yoruichi greeted them and looked towards Riveria, “If you’re looking for him, he’ll be pretty busy for the next two days, and won’t be coming out at all.”

Riveria sighed in relief after hearing that. She really didn’t want to see him after what happened yesterday. In addition to that, after she got home, she didn’t know what came over her as she even continued comforting herself and regretting it immediately after. That would be her dirty little secret which she promised to take to her grave.

However, she realized how weird her reaction to Kisuke being busy was and tried to explain to Yoruichi. But Yoruichi has beaten her to it, “It’s fine. He told me what happened yesterday… Not in full detail though, so you shouldn’t be too worried.”

Riveria’s face became red and she thought, ‘That bastard even told his lover about it!?’ She just couldn’t believe it.

All this while, Ais was trying to make sense of what they were talking about. Although she couldn’t understand what really happened, she knew for sure that it was related to yesterday’s incident, when Riveria ran back to the Twilight Manor with a flushed face.

Of course, it was the stoic and mature High-Elf they were talking about, so it became a big issue. It became a bigger issue, however, when it was discovered that she came from the Hestia Familia and recalled that a similar incident happened not long ago, which pushed everyone to think, ‘What the hell is up with this Familia?’ Just how could they send their ‘Unbreakable Mama Elf’ back home crying twice.

However, they couldn’t get any more information as Riveria wouldn’t reveal anything about the incidents and would pretend that nothing happened. Even if the people from the Loki Familia, including the Amazon sisters, wanted to go to the Hestia Familia to take a look, Loki prohibited them after making some excuses, that they would just make trouble.

This, however, didn’t stop her children from spreading this incident, and overnight, various Gods got ahold of this information and they already tried to snoop around the abandoned church for entertainment.

But instead of seeing this as a nuisance, Yoruichi saw this as a great chance to gather more information. Besides, it wasn’t like they could get anything out of it as Kisuke would send Gigai’s to the Dungeon as decoys.

“I apologize on his behalf, as that guy doesn’t know when to stop when he gets into some sort of trance.” Yoruichi then tossed the book which Kisuke asked her to pass to Riveria, “This should be the result of his inspection and he also asked me to tell you that he’s just giving you the starting line and it’s up to you to get your basics polished.”

Even though she was still in a bad mood, Riveria reluctantly opened the book, but once she read a few lines in it, she immediately forgot her problems and became absorbed with everything in it.

Ignoring Riveria, Yoruichi faced Ais, “Do you want to spar with them again?”

Ais nodded, “But if it’s fine with you, I’d like to spar with you, too.”

“Hmm…” Yoruichi rubbed her chin in contemplation, “Let’s see. Spar and help those girls to get used to your moves first and I’ll ask Kisuke to spar with you. In terms of swordsmanship, he’s a lot better than me and would probably be more of a help for you.”

Ais didn’t know how good Kisuke was, but she already saw how Yoruichi moved and doubted that she could catch her so she’s looking forward to her recommendation, “…I’ll do it.”

“Good. You go spar with them in the morning and instead of going to the Dungeon, it would be a lot better for you to practice your magic. The power you can get from training your magic right now, is greater than the power, which you could get for killing all those small fries.” Yoruichi suggested.

Ais thought about it for a moment and agreed to it, “Can I do it here?”

Yoruichi nodded. “Both you and Riveria-san can use the building over there to practice magic.”, she said as she pointed towards another building in the underground training ground.

Inspector Gadget’s Toolbox:

28th00: Kisuke teaching swordsmanship? That’s… That’s anime training montage stuff. Literally. Don’t touch the hat. Ais is going to be absolutely demolished though… Poor girl. Wait, has she had ‘The Talk’ yet? Oh my… Mama Riveria, you’re doomed with having to explain yourself now!

Alexander: Hahaha, but before ‘The Talk’ she will find herself in a room with Yoruichi and Kuroka. After Riveria wonders why they came together, Yoruichi’s answer will be: “Doctor Yoruichi’s consultation for the ‘Victims of Kisuke’ starts now. All questions shall be answered and THOROUGH aftercare will be given with my professional and certified massage technique.”
