Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 724 To the Twilight Manor

Walking through the town, people indeed reported Kisuke for carrying a moving sack with a muffled voice coming from inside of it.

Two Guild officers came to him, “Excuse me. May we take a look at what’s inside that bag? Someone has reported that you kidnapped someone.”

Hearing that, Filvis stopped struggling for a moment since she realized that if people were to see her, she’d immediately be killed and she was a bit hesitant to die now after deciding against suicide last night.

But Kisuke didn’t have to explain himself as his Familia’s Guild Advisor, Sophie, came running in to stop them, “Don’t worry about him. Here is the order from the higher-ups stating that he is clear.”

The two Guild officers checked the paper that Sophie presented to them and immediately saw Royman’s unique stamp and signature. The two then looked at each other and nodded, “Understood. We’ll inform those who reported the sighting and return to our patrol.”

Sophie nodded at them and replied, “Thank you. Good luck with your work.”

After seeing them leave, Kisuke immediately thanked Sophie, “Thanks for the help~.”

“Don’t mention it. It’s my job. Here. Take it.” After handing over the paper to Kisuke, Sophie turned around intending to leave and resume her job. But after a few steps, she turned her body once again and looked at Kisuke, “Please meet me before you leave.”

Kisuke smiled and said, “Will do.”

“Well then, goodbye and see you later.”

Arriving at the gates of Twilight Manor, low-level members immediately came out and greeted and opened the gates for him, “Good morning, Kisuke Urahara. May we ask what you need early this morning?”

Kisuke got a bit confused with their response but still replied without any pause, “Good morning~! I need to talk to Loki-sama about something, your executives too. If that’s not much of a bother.”

“It isn’t. But everyone was still in their morning training in the back. Do you want to go there or wait in the lobby?”

“Ho~ The subjugation of Knossos was just the other day yet you’re already resuming your daily routine? How admirable.”

“Of course. We have to get back in shape because we don’t know what other dangers are lurking around.” And with a wry smile, he continued, “Besides, although none of us lost our lives, it doesn’t feel like we won against Dionysus-sama either. Not after that kind of ending.”

‘So Challia-san’s ending still bothered them, huh… Looks like Loki-sama managed to gather some good members.’ Kisuke didn’t say anything back regarding that, “I’ll wait in the lobby then since it’ll be quite a talk.”

The Loki Familia members then talked to each other before one of them walked off to inform others and one led Kisuke to their lobby.

On the way, the man leading him gave in to his curiosity and asked while pointing at the sack that resumed its struggle because she doesn’t want to meet her only friend, “Umm… By the way, what is that?” Although he’s also curious about his bulging belly, he’s still more curious about the bigger and more overt thing.

“Xenos.”

The Loki Familia member was startled and halted his steps, “E-excuse me?”

“A Xenos,” repeated Kisuke, “I’m actually thinking of leaving her to your Familia’s care. That’s one of the reasons I’m here.”

The man was speechless for a short while before nodding and turning around to resume his steps, “I see…”

Kisuke smiled at this response and asked, “So you’re not against it?”

He continued leading the way while answering, “Personally, I’m not but there might be others who are. However, if you were to ask now, I think it’d be easy for Loki-sama to make everyone agree. After all, if not for the Xenos’ help, some of us might not have left that man-made Dungeon, including Captain Finn. If it’s Rey, though, Loki-sama wouldn’t even need to convince anyone.”

“Since we’re on the topic of Knossos, What do you think about Filvis Challia? I heard it was revealed that she was an enemy all along.” With Kisuke’s question, the sack stopped moving.

“A lot of us have resentment towards her…”

Filvis clenched her fist within the sack.

“However, we couldn’t really blame her either. After becoming a monster, she had no choice but to believe in the only person who accepted her. And she’s actually the reason why we couldn’t feel that we had won. It didn’t feel like we fought against a monster, but a person who was manipulated by a God’s ‘love’, and in the end, she still didn’t let go of that belief.”

The man faced Kisuke once again with a wry smile, “You see, we could relate to her since we might have done the same thing in her position.”

“Right… She’s just a girl who was haunted by misfortune and tries to fight against it by clinging on someone. Whether she clung to the correct person, is debatable.” Kisuke agreed.

Filvis was speechless. Well, she couldn’t really speak with her mouth taped and gagged, but her eyes widened at the unexpected words. She didn’t need anyone’s sympathy nor understanding. She didn’t even want them. As long as she could meet Dionysus’s expectations, she was already fine with everything.

However, just hearing that people out there actually understood her plight gave her indescribable feelings. After being a creature for so long, she didn’t know what to feel regarding this.

“And it’s actually Lefiya who was hit the hardest by her death. Even after declaring that she got over it, some people would say that they would hear her crying in some corner of the manor.”

While Filvis was having a complicated feeling, she suddenly heard Kisuke voice inside her head, [Isn’t that nice~? Hearing it from someone of his position means that his words are actually true for the most part. I think you won’t be treated too harshly, especially with that Elf with gay tendencies.]

But Filvis only harrumphed at him.

A few moments later, they finally reached the lobby and it only took a minute or two before the first two people arrived, “Yo~ Kisuke! What strange wind blew you here?”

Kisuke replied to the greeting, “That’s very rude, Loki-sama~! Can’t I just come to visit my hard-working student?”

Loki immediately shook her head, “No way! You only have to call her one time and she’ll come running to you. No need to put in the useless effort of visiting her.”

Line, who’d come with Loki, blushed and protested, “Loki-sama!”

Loki gave Line a dirty look and said, “Is that not the case?”

“T-that…” Line couldn’t answer back.
