Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 171 Busted

Kisuke is currently fiddling with a pair of glasses while sitting on the table beside the bed and talking with Yoruichi through their communicator.

“How is your side?” Kisuke asks.

From the token placed on the table, Yoruichi’s voice resounded, “All of them are gathering. With the exception of the current Clan Head and his personal forces.”

“Are they still outside of the separate space?”

“Half of them including the current leaders of each House are already inside.” Kisuke can hear the rustling of leaves from Yoruichi’s side along with her voice.

“Anything else?” Kisuke is too focused on what he is doing with the glasses and asked absentmindedly.

“The Mana from the surrounding is gathering. I’m not sure since I’m not an expert, but my guess is that they set up a large scale formation throughout the whole Island.” Yoruichi was sure that Kisuke is already aware of it but telling him won’t hurt either.

“I also know that. As from as I can tell, it’s just a formation for gathering Mana towards the temple. More specifically towards that separate space. The real trick is probably there but we can’t know for sure without going inside ourselves.” Same as before, Kisuke answered absentmindedly.

“Got it. I’ll continue my watch for now and report everything I find weird.”

“Thank you for your hard work~.”

“You better be. I’m just wondering where are you right now…” Yoruichi’s tone which is jovial until now suddenly took a deep dive towards the abyss.

‘Ah… Crap… I forgot!’ Kisuke’s mind started running thinking of a way to explain his situation. But before he could say anything, Yoruichi ice-cold voice came again, “The distant sound of cars, the whistling blow of the winds hitting the glass window and the indistinct sound of a shower from the background… A hotel… isn’t it?”

“Yoruichi-sama… You don’t have to say anything further! I have my reasons!” Although Kisuke doesn’t have a guilty conscience, getting caught like this is still bad.

“I know you have… you always have reasons. If not, you won’t be making any move. But as kind as I am… I’m allowing you to speak” Yoruichi’s voice took a deeper dive.

Kisuke knew that panicking here would only make it worse, “Ehem… It’s not what you think. She needs to clean herself, so she has to take a shower! And hotels just have what she needs!”

“You can accomplish it with magic within a few seconds…” Even with his explanation, Yoruichi’s voice only grows colder.

“Ehem… It’s not that simple, Yoruichi-sama. Although magic is really convenient, it’s not a replacement for everything. She’s too stressed out with all that is happening and she just needs a good hot shower.” Kisuke tried one more time.

“YOU can do that with magic…” Yoruichi’s voice, with an addition to its cold tone, a fiery tone was also added.

Kisuke still isn’t giving up. Not until he sees the light, “Ehem… Yoruichi-sama, that’s only good for immediate result and she would be stressed out again after some time. While in the shower, she should be able to sort out her feeling which is a lot better than forcefully calming her using magic.”

“Hooh… Be honest with me… How much of your desire took over with your reasoning?”

Kisuke hesitated before saying, “…50%?”

“…” That silence is the most effective scream that woke up Kisuke

“I’m sorry that was a lie. It’s actually 70%.” Kisuke surrendered and told the truth.

“…” Yoruichi stayed silent for a bit before saying, “I’m pretty sure that it’s at least 90%”

“No no no… Yoruichi, I’m not that big of a pervert.”

“…”

“I guess I am, but please believe me! I really needed her to calm down by herself so that she can tolerate more things later! I can’t have her breaking down early in the fight. I won’t be helping her unless a god or goddess decided to make a move.” This is his final card. If this doesn’t solve the case, then he would have to start kneeling in front of her.

“… Haahh… So? How much of that 70% is for seeing her ‘just out of the shower’ look?” With an exasperated voice, Yoruichi gave up, ‘I sure this pervert won’t cross the line, so I guess it’s fine to let him indulge a bit? Though I really have to punish him later.’

Seeing that Yoruichi already accepted his reason and let go of this matter, Kisuke regained his confidence. And like a reckless and fearless bull charging ahead, he said energetically, “20%!”

“And the rest?”

“All-in for the maid uniform!”

“That damned fetish of maid uniform only developed when we reincarnated, right?” Yoruichi gritted her teeth and cursed internally, ‘Whoever gave him that magazine, I hope you trip and knock all of your teeth!’

“I couldn’t see its beauty before…” Kisuke closed his eyes and recalled the time when he first saw a maid fetish magazine in his childhood. Ever since then, his interest in maids skyrocketed. Although he also has an interest at other cosplay, his interest with the maids surpasses the rest. This is the reason why Kisuke chooses a maid uniform for Akeno.

“…Well, whatever. I’m going to cut my call. I can’t move much with you yapping around.”

Sighing in relief, Kisuke wished her luck, “Take care~.”

“Don’t do anything any further than the maid uniform, understand?” Even though she knew he wouldn’t do it, Yoruichi still has to remind him.

“Y-yes! Ma’am!” Kisuke unintentionally stood up and salute.

“Good.” With that. Yoruichi cut her call.

“Whew~. Good thing I have such a nice and understanding wife~.”

After muttering that, Kisuke heard the doorbell on their room, “Coming~.”

Opening the door, Kisuke let the service crew come in and place the food he ordered on the table. Kisuke then gave him a small tip before letting him leave. Since he knew that Medusa would still take some time under the shower, he covered the food with his Reiatsu-Ki to keep it warm. Thinking that it isn’t enough, Kisuke took out a wine of his choosing from his inventory along with two of its glasses.

It only took 30 minutes more wait for Medusa to come out of the shower. Kisuke has enough decency not to use his detection abilities in the bathroom so he didn’t know and expect that Medusa would come with just a towel wrapped around her, “Uhmm… Kisuke-san… I don’t have a change of clothes…”

Medusa used the door of the bathroom to hide, but half of her is still peeking out to call out to Kisuke. When Kisuke saw her attire, he blanked out a bit, ‘Crap… Because of that talk with Yoruichi, I forgot to give her the change of clothes…’ Kisuke burned the image of the embarrassed and timid blushing Medusa into his mind and also stealthily captured a photo, ‘Good job, Yoruichi!’

“Uhmm… I have nothing to wear…” Medusa thought that Kisuke didn’t hear her so she asked again despite feeling embarrassed.

“Ah… a-hahaha! Sorry about that. I forgot~.” Kisuke recovered from his ‘stupor’ and took out a box containing her change of clothes. He then passed it to her through magic.

Catching the box, Medusa hurriedly ran back in the bathroom and immediately closed the door.
