Chapter 713 - Freya’s Belief (1/2)
After calming down the uncontrolled cat that kept asking questions and making the mischievous waitress beg for fewer workloads, Mia led Kisuke to Ryuu's room so he could properly lay him down. Thanks to Syr and Anya's ruckus, Chloe and Lunoire were able to calm themselves down, but they still couldn't let their guards down completely when they were shown such a massive difference in speed.
Until now, they were always in control, even if a lot of Adventurers came to their pub thanks to their strength. And even if they were stronger than them like the Loki Familia or Ganesha Familia, they were well known with a good reputation. But someone like Kisuke who was relatively unknown until the War Games and thought to be only around Level 2-3 exhibiting speeds way beyond them was very unnerving.
Kisuke, although he couldn't care less about their reactions, still understood where they were coming from, and there was nothing wrong with that, 'Something unpredictable and uncontrollable suddenly appearing within the space where they feel most safe in, I would have done something more drastic.'
”Well then, it's time for me to leave. Please give this letter to Lion-san once she wakes up.” Kisuke took out an envelope and gave it to Mia. Just before arriving at the Hostess of Fertility, Kisuke had contacted Yoruichi and told her that Ryuu was already safe. He then asked her to ask Astraea to write a letter to her, which he immediately received, 'It looks like they're still together and Astraea-sama had already prepared this beforehand.'
Mia received the letter and they all saw the insignia drawn on it. Chloe and Lunoire didn't know the origin of the insignia while Anya just simply forgot about it. Mia and Syr instantly recognized it and finally understood the reason why Kisuke had dived into the Dungeon to save Ryuu, ”I got it, but aren't you going to explain what happened down there?”
Kisuke just shrugged his shoulders while leaving the room, ”I won't do something as useless as that. Since you're going to have a hard time believing my story anyway, just hear it from Ryuu directly. And if she wants to hide something it would be up to her, so I'll be keeping my mouth shut regarding this incident.”
Mia nodded and said, ”Fair point. It's a bit late, but thank you for saving this employee of mine.”
Mia's words reminded everyone in the room what they forgot and still needed to do. One by one, they apologized to Kisuke regarding their behavior and profusely thanked him for saving their important friend.
At the door, Kisuke smiled at them and said, ”I don't mind it and I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. Just treat me to dinner next time. But when she wakes up, make sure to give her an earful for being stubborn and reckless.”
Anya proudly thumped her chest before saying, ”You don't have to say it, nya! I'll make sure that she won't hear the end of it for at least a few hours!”
”That's great. Have a good day.”
But before Kisuke could completely leave, Syr came running after him, ”I'll walk you on the way!”
