Chapter 656 An Usual Amazoness
Kisuke's whispers instantly pissed off King beyond reason, but he didn't dare strike back in fear of the strange barrier. More than hurting himself, he was more afraid of humiliating himself, so instead of confronting them further, he jumped through the hole that the blasted people created. In any case, he was already in a disadvantageous position with the women of the Astarte Familia present.
The moment he exited the building in a hurry, however, the door of the private room swung open again. But instead of just peeking, the people inside went out, "Since they attacked first, it's not our fault. We won't be paying for any damages," Kisuke declared.
"You're thinking that maybe you could ask for compensation from Keely, aren't you?" Yoruichi guessed.
"It's my right to do so! Those bad guys really scared me by suddenly destroying the things beside us. I'm just an intellectual guy and hate violence! What if they hurt me for real!? For establishments such as this, that's just unacceptable," replied Kisuke, as Yoruichi correctly guessed his ruse. Leaving the two behind, Kisuke went directly downstairs to complain about the 'traumatizing' experience and maybe get a free meal or two.
"You're... Yoruichi Shihouin and Kuroka Toujou... No wonder that rascal is here," Fenia wanted to ask who the man who'd just left was, but she'd already lost her interest in him and decided against it, 'It's just another scumbag, judging from the way he acts.'
Yoruichi and Kuroka turned towards them and the former greeted them with a big smile, "Yo, Fenia~ Fancy meeting you here~!"
Fenia smiled back and replied, "You two never cease to show many surprises. Even after thinking about what I just saw, I still have no idea how you fought that group back. A Magic that you never showed? In any case, now that you've hit back at the dumbass Racoon, the Aruna Familia will never stop trying to take you or destroy you."
"Are you saying that you have a way around that, nya~?" asked Kuroka with an amused expression.
"Absolutely. My sister, Tenestra, may have already invited you before, but I'd also like to extend my hand to you two to join my Familia. That way, you won't just deter them, but also be able to retaliate when you want to and we'll have your back."
"That's an endearing offer, but I'd like to refuse," Yoruichi shook her head, "First of all, it wasn't us but that guy who just went down's magic item. Secondly, I've heard that your Familia, as a pure female faction, doesn't allow any man within their ranks or any members to have a relationship with one. I'm sorry to say, but that guy is my hubby and I don't intend to leave him anytime soon~."
Fenia didn't hesitate to show her frown of displeasure, however, she also didn't say anything distasteful, "I see. That's really sad to hear," She then turned her attention to Kuroka, "What about you, Kuroka Toujou? In addition to what I've said earlier, we also won't interfere with your Mercenary business. As long as you uphold our mission of saving abused women and don't get into a relationship with any man, we won't say anything regarding who you want to party with."
She'd already given up on Yoruichi, but just for now. With Fenia's skewed view of man and woman relationships that stemmed from her childhood, she believed that their relationship wouldn't last long. As long as they had Kuroka on their side, it'd be inevitable that she'd also join their cause in the future.
"Hmm? Ah, sorry, nya~! That same guy happens to be my hubby too, so I will have to refuse, nya~," replied Kuroka with a shit-eating grin.
Fenia and the girls behind her were stunned at her confession. A second later, Fenia showed her utter displeasure as she clicked her tongue and said, "Tsk! So he's really just as scummy and disgusting as those animals from the Aruna Familia."
However, the moment she'd uttered those words, an immense flood of killing intent and some other forces came bearing down on her in an instant, before disappearing. But even then, she almost blacked out and lost consciousness. It's as if the reaper of life decided to aim its scythe of death at her neck for a very brief moment, "!?"
As her vision cleared, Fenia immediately saw Yoruichi and Kuroka's faces. While the latter was already frowning, the former kept on smiling. However, she could tell for sure that Yoruichi wasn't smiling.
"I would really appreciate it if you don't compare Kisuke to those dumbasses. While he's scummy, he's my lovable scum, and any biased and unreasonable insults at him, I find quite... distasteful, you see?" Yoruichi slowly replied before turning away from them, walking towards the stairs, "I thank you for your invitation, but those are some beliefs that I can't agree with. We'll take our leave and see you around again, hopefully, in a delightful manner."
After staying for a few more seconds, Kuroka decided to follow Yoruichi without saying anything. Although she wanted to get back at her for insulting her beloved, she decided against it after recalling the information they had on her, 'Scaring her should be quite enough... I also understand where she's coming from after going through so much at such a young age.'
As someone who did everything to protect her little sister, Kuroka can somehow relate to her.
Once they left their sights, one of the girls behind Fenia suddenly called out to her in a worried tone, "F-Fenia-sama? Are you alright?"
Fenia looked at her with confusion but after seeing her concerned face, it was only then she noticed that she's breathing frantically and cold sweat covered her forehead and back. Not wanting to show such a thing to her comrades, Fenia immediately tried to normalize her expression and smiled wryly and patted her head, "I'm fine. I'm just feeling a little light-headed. Let's pay up and return home for today. I'm sorry, everyone. It was supposed to be a pleasant outing."
The girl she patted immediately responded, "Please don't be, Fenia-sama! If you're not feeling well, please rest up!" She then turned to the other two girls and said, "Seles, Mina. Please accompany Fenia-sama back home. I'll follow you once I take care of things here."
The two girls nodded and ushered Fenia.
"Don't worry, everyone. We'll have a chance in the future again."
"Please stop thinking about that for now, Fenia-sama. We're already happy that you're concerned with us. We couldn't possibly ask for more!" the girl named Seles refuted her.
While leaving, Fenia recalled what happened earlier, 'What was that? Was it just my imagination? I didn't see them do anything... But where did that pressure come from?'
After thinking for a while, Fenia concluded, 'I don't have any evidence, but I have a feeling those two are too dangerous... I'll have to warn Tenestra and Astarte-sama.'

28th00: An Amazoness man-hater? That's like, antithetical to their entire culture and species. In the way of relationships at least. Wonder how Kali feels about that?
