Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 784 Distressed Loki

Like a normal traveler, Kisuke lined up along with those who wanted to get inspected to enter the city and it didn’t take too long for him to enter since the line wasn’t that long from the start, ‘The number of people moving decreased. Is it because there’s a certain limit to this great spell?’

While thinking about that, he noticed that the members of the Freya Familia were approaching him with their weapons partially pulled. But before they could confront him, someone else came running over and whispered something to their leader. After the leader hesitated for a moment, he and his group went back to the top of the wall to continue their survey of the surroundings.

Ignoring this bit, Kisuke strolled through the streets until he reached the market and there were a few things that he noticed. Although it hasn’t been long, there are actually no male Adventurers that are glaring at him, ‘Is it because they got tired of it?’

Wanting to confirm this anomaly, Kisuke went towards the skewer vendor that really hates him for his apparent success in life, “Three of these skewers please~.”

Strangely enough, the transaction went normal, ‘Hmmm? What’s this? Could it be…’

At this point, Kisuke started suspecting a certain possibility and continued his conversation, “Say, mister. I’m actually new around here but the reason I’m here is to look for my missing twin brother. If it’s not too much to ask, have you seen someone with the same face as me within the city?”

While busy grilling his meat, the vendor took a quick peek at Kisuke and shook his head, “No. It’s the first time I’ve seen your face. Well, I’m really not familiar with most of the faces around here so you should probably ask more people. Since this is the city of Adventurers, most outsiders would want to explore the Dungeon so you may try asking the Guild about it. It’s located northeast of here. Ask anyone on the way there since all the people living here are aware of its location.”

“Thanks~ That helps a lot~!”

“If you’re really thankful, buy a few more.”

“Then I’ll take three more.”

Kisuke asked a few more people and was able to confirm that, including the fact that Bell Cranell became a member of the Freya Familia, Hestia and Artemis Familias existence was forgotten, ‘But why?’

Kisuke could hardly think of any reason why Freya would do this, ‘Is it because a simple knowledge of our existence is a threat to her? She’s really giving us all the credit in the world.’

Kisuke started walking again, this time, however, with a definite goal in mind, ‘For now, I’ll go bother Loki. Since Lysa and Challia-san are near her, she should be safe.’

Currently laying down on a couch and staring at the ceiling frustratedly, Loki really hated the current state of the city and her children.

A few days ago, just after the Goddess Festival that honored the Goddesses of Harvest, Freya went ballistic and took control of everyone within the city. She didn’t exactly know the reason but she could guess it after hearing about Bell Cranel, ‘That horny Goddess!’

Loki sighed. She didn’t really like someone else controlling her children but her options are almost nonexistent with her biggest fear that was her own children turning against her, ‘Although I’m thankful enough that I was able to use Kisuke’s lingering aura from Lysa and Filvis to defend against this Magic, I can’t actually do anything in my position. Even Ouranos was stuck in his mighty seat and I don’t think any Deity with their mortal avatars could resist that without gathering enough Divine Aura in time.’

But despite being frustrated, she couldn’t help but admire the intricacy of this spell since Freya was even able to erase Hestia and Artemis Familia’s memory from everyone, ‘Apollo’s empty mansion was explained as him breaking a rule and expelled from Orario while the Magic and Ki training that Kisuke provided apparently came from a certain ruin to the far north. Thanks to the actual existence of the book and Kisuke’s weird obsession of making it look old to make it look like a ‘legit’ treasure, the memory manipulation went without any hitch. Finally, Filvis and Lysa’s existence was apparently discovered from the depths of the Dungeon in their last expedition.’

Of course, she’s aware that Freya could have not known this as it was her children that filled in the blanks that were left.

Except for Loki, Filvis and Lysa’s memories were safe because of Kisuke’s lingering aura and Loki reminded the former not to tell anyone any of this due to the danger that they may face. As for the latter, she didn’t have to worry about it because the only word that the small Dragon could utter is ‘Aria’.

‘If only I had a way of contacting Kisuke…’, thought Loki as she squirmed around the couch.

Off to the side, Riveria looked at her with furrowed brows, “Loki… You’ve been acting really strange these past few days. If there’s something you’re concerned about, please do tell me. Your current mood is already starting to affect the members and their training. They are really worried, you know?”

Out of vexation, Loki suddenly shouted, “Ahh!!! All of my worries would be gone if you could contact your only husband candidate!”

Loki’s words instantly unsettled Riveria and with a frown, she replied, “I’m not seeing anyone nor do I think of looking for one. You’re really acting weird even with these jokes.”

But strangely enough, Riveria couldn’t keep her pulse from shooting up, ‘What’s wrong with me?’

Loki caught this and wanted to tease her more. But before she could say anything, Tione entered the room they’re in and said, “Loki, a strange guy is looking for you.”

“A strange guy?”

“He wouldn’t tell me his name but asked me to tell you that the most lovable shopkeeper is here. Strange ri- !!?”

Sooner than Tione could finish her sentence, Loki hurriedly stood up and bolted towards the door as fast as she could while shouting on top of her lungs, “KIIIIIIIIIIII-TANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!! I MISSED YOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
