Volume 4 Chapter 155 - Not Common Sense

"No need to be alarmed… Kisuke and I already has enough control over our Reiryoku so that it won't react with Mana." Yoruichi calmly explained after seeing her expression.

Seeing that she not yet convinced, Yoruichi continued speaking, "His expertise is in energy manipulation. He won't fail at something as simple as this."

Medusa has already eaten quite an amount of food with Reiryoku and nothing bad happened yet. So she put her worries down and ask, "…Why did he do this? Why are you all helping me?… Don't get me wrong. I'm very grateful for your help, especially pertaining to those two souls, but I'm just a stranger… And I doubt I could help you with something. In fact, a dangerous group is after me and I'll only end up dragging you to my problems instead of returning this gratitude."

Yoruichi stayed silent for a while before speaking, "Did you also ask this question to him?"

"…Yes."

"What did he say?"

"He said that he needed something from me."

"That's all?"

"That's all…"

"That guy really didn't explain anything… You don't have to worry. That guy is only interested in you because of the knowledge he could get."

"…Just because of that? Aren't you all afraid of getting hurt? Is it really worth it to put yourselves at risk just because of some knowledge?"

Yoruichi wanted to answer, but the door of the room suddenly opened and Kisuke entered, "Seeking knowledge is one of my biggest joy in life. As simple as that. It doesn't matter if it's dangerous. On the contrary, the harder it is to get, the more rewarding it is… no matter how small the actual knowledge I can get."

Medusa then faced him, "I don't understand…"

"You don't have to. You have your own life and you have to find joys in it yourself. You also don't have to justify it to others. Just explaining it once is enough… whether they understood it or not, it doesn't matter." Bringing out the food and an additional table and chair from his inventory, he sat down to join them.

Medusa somehow gets it, but still, don't understand most of it.

"Don't think about it. It's just me, rambling nonsense." Kisuke then grabbed a handful of food before continuing to speak, "By the way, who are the guys chasing you?"

Medusa got her mind off from Kisuke words as she contemplated what answer she should tell them. If she tells them the truth, there are only three things that could happen. First is that they would present her to the Perseus Clan to gain some benefits from them.

Second is they let her go, not wanting to mess with her or the Perseus Clan chasing after her.

Third and last is they wouldn't care about the Perseus Clan and continue detaining her here.

The first possibility is the worst one and the most likely as she already experienced it several times. Second is the second most likely thing to happen. If they are a bit vigilant, they wouldn't want the Perseus Clan to think that they took care of her as even if they present her to them, the Perseus Clan would only erase them to reduce the number witnesses. The last possibility is the most unlikely as only those idiots or incredibly strong individuals can decide something like that. But even then, after knowing her true identity, they would immediately discard her or present her to the Olympian Gods, more specifically, to Athena.

If she lies to them, however, it'll only bring harm to them down the road as even though she's extremely vigilant, she can recognize good intentions as like even though most of her experiences are the worst, there are bits of good in it. Like the name, she borrowed from a certain girl who helped her in the past. She's very thankful that she was able to escape early enough that the girl, Ana, wouldn't feel any backlash from her interaction with the 'criminal' of the Perseus Clan.

After a few minutes pondering, Meduse chooses to tell the truth but hide her identity for now, "… The Perseus Clan…" She was expecting a shock or at least a concerned look from them after hearing her words, but her assumptions were largely wrong.

"Heh… Those guys, huh. Well, we already expected it, so it's not really a big deal." Kisuke continued eating in great relish after muttering those few words.

Yoruichi is the same, she kept eating after saying a few words of her own, "So we move Claire and the rest back to Japan now?"

"Nope… It's just the Persues. They can still stay here and play for a few days." Kisuke replied, still eating his food.

"When do they move?" Yoruichi had enough of the dishes and moved to the deserts.

"Hmm… Let see… After I confirmed that an Olympian Gods are going to get involved?" Kisuke stopped for a moment to think.

"Then I guess we have a few days to spare… What do you want to do?"

"Let's see… Let's tour the whole island, after that, we go back to Piraeus or Athens to roam around. If we still have time after that, we roam around the whole Attica Region, I guess?"

"I want to go too!" Claire chimed in. Even though she doesn't understand what they are talking about, but she's sure that they are going out to have some fun. She couldn't miss it.

"W-wait a minute! Why are you taking the Perseus Clan so lightheartedly!? And you even sound like everything is fine even if you meet a god!" Medusa dropped her spoon and finally reacted at their words. She didn't know if they're just idiots that don't know the power of gods or idiots that are courageous enough to face the gods.

Yoruichi looked at her and explained, "Perseus Clan isn't really a big deal. I've already investigated them and I focused on their manpower and individual power. And the result is they aren't a big deal."

"What!? You're underestimating them too much! They have at least one of the weapons that the original Perseus to slay the Gorgon! And those are bestowed by the gods!"

"Oh right… Now that you mentioned it. There is indeed a weird shield in their treasury."

"Why didn't you steal it?"

"I'm not a burglar and I'm not even interested in it in the first place. From what I remembered from Cleria's words, that shield is used to detect all life in the vicinity. I can do that too."

"You've got a point. It's basically useless for us."

"Wha-!?" Medusa was speechless at their interaction but set it aside first as there is something that bothered her in their words, "Anyway, why are you so sure that the Olympian Gods would get involve?"

"Well… Perseus Clan is a patron of Olympian Gods, right? If they are on the verge of annihilation, they would surely call their big boss." Kisuke looked at Medusa and make an inquisitive expression. Even though she can't see, Medusa is sure that that expression means, 'You didn't know this?'

'What the hell are these people? Why do I look like the weird one here? Should I believe their words? Wait… I haven't asked the most important question…' Medusa took a deep breath to calm herself down. She wanted to forget the earlier exchange as she didn't have the energy to process them, "What if you really faced a god? What will you do?"

"Hmm… I don't know."

"…" Medusa was speechless yet again.

"I don't really know much about the gods and the full extent of their abilities. So I guess we'll just wing it?"

"I'm sure that you already prepared a bunch of escape routes in case something goes wrong?"

"Yep~."

"Then let's just decided as the situation unfolds~. It seems more fun that way."

'Lunatics… They're lunatics… Elder sisters, please give me the strength to face my future with them…'
