Chapter 781 First Step to Take Control

Chapter 781 First Step to Take Control

Stheno and Euryale wanted to speak back but finally recalled that there were still other people in the room and that calmed them down enough to rearrange their thoughts.

Sitting down, they couldn't believe that they'd instantly lost their composure back then, 'Is it because our cores are still unstable?', they thought.

But after a few moments of contemplation, they took back that speculation, 'No... we shouldn't blame that on our cores. It seems that we are still referring to 'fate'... as a means of escape.'

Thinking about it further, Kisuke rewording it to 'blaming the future just because they couldn't do anything in the present', they thought that it was indeed stupid and attempting to ask him to take back what he'd said just because he had a differing opinion that wasn't exactly wrong made it look like they were indeed morons.

They then looked over at Medusa, who was still silently sipping on her tea and pretending that nothing was happening in front of her, and finally figured out where her stance on this was.

Frustrated, they wanted to say something to defend themselves but no matter what they thought they could say, it would only make them look petty.

Amidst the heavy atmosphere, Kisuke broke the silence by placing the pendants he had in front of Stheno and Euryale, "Regardless of my own opinion, I indeed also acted rude. I'm sorry about that and please take these."

Stheno and Euryale didn't say anything as they picked up the pendants to examine them. Recalling its function from Kisuke earlier, they thought that it's pretty useless since they could just always return to Medusa if they didn't want to bother anyone and he should know this too, 'Unless he wants us to stay away from Medusa. But what for? Is it for this special training that these people are going through? It should be Medusa's turn now, but why?'

But a few more moments later, a certain possibility flashed through their minds that made their eyes open wide. In a hurry, they looked at Kisuke who was grinning at them, "...You crazy bastard... Did you think we'll allow it?"

'As expected, although they don't know much of the world, when it comes to their dear little sister, they already know almost everything.', thought Kisuke. But before he could reply, Medusa spoke out, "I'm already prepared, dear sisters."

She had already guessed what Kisuke has for her since there's really only one thing that she could try tackling on.

Euryale slapped the table and raised her voice once again, "You're being too hasty! And is there anything good that could come out of it!? In the worst-case scenario, you're going to lose yourself again and this time, you might not even have a chance to return!"

But Medusa wasn't bothered and repeated with stronger conviction than before, "I'm already prepared, dear sisters."

"But-"

"Between dismantling the bomb or not doing anything about it, it's a very obvious choice.", interrupted Medusa. She then looked straight into their worried eyes before continuing, "You should know that this 'corruption', no matter what I do, won't be going anywhere as it's already part of my core. I already consulted this to mas...Kisuke and he came to the same conclusion as me. Forcefully removing it as if it is a cancerous cell would only weaken the integrity of my core, and that's already the best-case scenario."

"So instead of letting it sit still, I'll bring it out and take it under my control."

Of course, it wouldn't be easy for Stheno and Euryale as they'd already witnessed and personally experienced Medusa's 'corruption' and would never want to see light shine upon it once again.

Kisuke and Yoruichi just watched the sisters argue with each other and neither of the sides were backing down, 'You really intended for her to take that on? How much do you really know about it?' Yoruichi sent a telepathic message to Kisuke.

'I don't know much about it and this is a completely different situation compared to taking over the Hollow side for a Shinigami. However, there's also no way to safely separate it from her, at least in our knowledge, so the next best thing is to control it before it starts acting up again.'

'So you aren't sure... But since you're going through this, you should be betting on something else. What is it?'

'Ophis' leftover powers. I'm confident that it could at least stop a complete takeover.'

'Complete takeover, huh... Then that also means that its influence could be inevitable.'

Kisuke sighed and said, 'I could only present her the opportunity, so it'll all be up to her. Let's just trust that she will still be the stoic but adorable maid.'

Finally, Medusa had had enough and knew that she wouldn't be able to convince them by just telling them her resolve. Luckily, she was able to think of something that could make them listen to her, "Dear sisters, unlike Kisuke over there, I'm the same as you, someone who believes in fate and destiny."

"...What has this got to do with the current issue?", asked Stheno after a short pause.

"What I want to say is, I'm not someone who would just let fate dictate my future, nor someone who intends to destroy it." Medusa held her breath for a few moments and watched their reaction before continuing, "I want to put my fate in my own hands to change and control it however I want. And controlling everything I already have is just the first step to it."
