Chapter 160 Enjoying Life

Medusa woke up with the sun shining through her window. She slowly sat up and heaved a sigh. After having that ‘dream’ last night, everything feels light. All her worries seem so insignificant. Her outlook on life also changed, instead of surviving just for her not to experience that ‘hell’, she now wanted to survive to find a way to be together with her sisters again. An impossible wish in the past.

Medusa waited for a few moments before standing up. She noticed that although the same barrier from yesterday is up, the door and windows of the room are unlocked. If she wanted to, she could escape right now, ‘Is he really that confident that I wouldn’t escape?’

Medusa got tempted to escape just because she didn’t want to go with his expectations and see how would his face look like, but brushed that thought as she really needs his help for her sisters. But imagining that kind of scenario makes her feel kind of giddy. Obviously, it’s Kisuke bad influence.

Opening the door, she was welcomed by Kisuke’s cheeky grin, “Good morning~. How was last night~?”

Medusa wanted to get angry, but she recalled her ‘dream’, for the first time, she smiled gently at Kisuke, “It was wonderful, thank you.”

Kisuke was a little bit shocked at her response, but recovered immediately and smile again, this time without the cheekiness he had earlier, “That’s great. Come here and have breakfast. We will be going out later.”

Medusa followed his steps towards the dining table and curiously asked, “Going out later? Where will we go?” She has mixed feelings about going out as her enemies are still searching for her. She can finally be sure that the pendant that he gave her earlier is working as he described.

“Since I won’t be here for too long, I want to explore as much as I can. And besides, I want to know if they have other ways to track you outside of your energy signatures.”

They arrived at the dining area and the people of the house greeted Medusa. They noticed that her complexion and demeanor is a lot better than yesterday.

They ate their light breakfast and the four, Kisuke, Yoruichi, Claire, and Medusa went out soon after.

Kisuke helped Medusa disguise using illusion magic. Now her knee-length hair is dyed black tied in a ponytail while wearing a black turtle neck and gray pants. As for the blindfold, Kisuke did extra care for it with illusion magic, adding normal eyes on her face. Her temporary eyes match her hair and it moves depending on her focus, but to those observant people, it’ll still feel a bit inorganic, so Kisuke gave her a large sunglasses to cover it.

Once they were out of the house, Medusa couldn’t help but look around due to nervousness. This is the first time she has gone out openly.

“You don’t have to be worried. We’ll just be going around today. If someone else managed to see through your disguise, we’ll be escaping immediately.” Kisuke said after he noticed that she kept looking around making her more conspicuous. He’s currently carrying Claire on his shoulders while she points at all sort of things that catches her attention.

Medusa nodded meekly and reduces her frequency of looking around. Kisuke understood that she wouldn’t be able to completely lay down her worries and just let her do what she wants.

They went around for the whole day and the only one who didn’t enjoy their trip is Medusa as Kisuke and Yoruichi kept going to the places where a member of Perseus Clan is searching. Every time they would come across one, Medusa would always tighten her muscles and get ready for combat resulting in her not being able to enjoy the air outside. Doing this multiple times tire her out more than battling itself.

They went back when the sun started setting. On the way, Kisuke commented, “I guess they can’t find you with this much concealment.”

“I guess not… But it won’t be for too long.” Medusa replied as she looks down.

“Won’t be for too long… is it? Do you know how else they could find you?” Kisuke continued walking as he asks.

“As long as a God interferes, they would easily find me no matter how much you hide my existence.” Medusa smiled wryly. It’s only a matter of time when a certain Goddess gets bored.

“I see… As long you’re tied up, you can’t escape…” Kisuke muttered.

Medusa stopped walking and look at Kisuke in shock, “You…!”

“Alright, let’s stop talking about this. Even I wouldn’t be able to do something about it right now…” Kisuke also stopped walking and faced her.

“So you knew… Right… Nothing can be done about it… Unless a miracle happens…” Medusa looked down and smiled in defeat.

“…”

“So if you want something from me, make it fast. I can’t stay with you forever… I just want a single thing from you…”

“Continual safety of those souls?”

“Yes…”

Kisuke suddenly smiled and replied, “Okay~.”

Medusa sighed in relief at his answer and thought, ‘Should I reveal my true identity to them?… No… It’s isn’t necessary. I’ll only be a passing figure in their life. No need to complicate it. As long as my sisters are safe, everything is fine.’

Medusa then would spend and experience the most peaceful times of her life after her battle with the original Perseus for a few days. She would learn a bunch of things like cooking and sewing. And in that time frame, she will discover some hobbies that can bring joy to her.

First is riding bicycles. After overcoming the initial fear of being discovered by roaming around outside, she started to enjoy riding bicycles and would do it for an hour or two every day. The second is reading. Kisuke gave her some novels to pass time while he examines her by injecting his own Reiatsu-Ki and getting some blood and tissue samples. And the last one would be alcohol. Every night, she would go down drunk. Truly enjoying her life to the fullest.

The most thing she is thankful for, however, is that Kisuke would allow her to meet her sisters every time she goes to sleep. Even though just a few days passed, Medusa would become cheerful, although her serious, cold, and quiet exterior would be there most of the time.

At that time, Medusa recalled her sisters’ words, ‘Please… Survive… For your happiness…’

“I guess this is what they are talking about?” She muttered quietly to herself with a gentle and happy smile on her face. She almost forgot that there still a looming threat approaching her. What she didn’t know though, is that because of a certain guy’s decision to meddle with her affairs looking for kicks, the whole Greek Pantheon will shake.
