Volume 4 Chapter 144 - Lonely Kid
Kisuke played with Claire for the whole day until she collapsed from exhaustion. As Cleria sets her on her bed gently, Claire has a satisfied smile as she sleeps. After smiling gently and kissing her on her forehead, "Goodnight sweety." Cleria left her and went to the dining area where the other three are.
Masaomi waited for Cleria to sit down beside him and bowed his head towards Kisuke, "Once again, Thank you for saving our lives. Without you, Cleria and I would have separated forever and we would never have Claire on our side. She's the pillar of our current lives."
Kisuke drank the coffee they served for him, "You don't have to mention it. I already got my thanks from you years ago and it helped me and Yoruichi in a lot of things. And that's enough for the work I did back then."
"Even then, thank you. If there is something else that you need and if Cleria and I can provide it, we'll give it to you."
"Drop the formalities, old man. Where just here for a vacation. If you can provide a room for us to stay in then we would be happy."
"We already cleaned an extra room for you. Although we didn't think that you would bring someone else with you, the bed should be enough for two people."
"My thanks."
"I also want to thank you for playing with Claire all day."
"What? You didn't have to give your gratitude for something like that. I also enjoyed myself so much so that I want a daughter for myself now." As Kisuke said this, he looked at Yoruichi with a large grin. Yoruichi in response just rolled her eyes and looked away but the three of them can see a minute blush on her face.
Cleria ignored their blatant flirting and continued speaking, "It's a big favor for me as Claire doesn't have very many friends of her age. Most of the schools around here are Catholic Schools and she can't attend those as they are under the influence of Heaven. Even the remaining non-Catholic Schools are under someone's influence and it can't Claire attend those schools and is currently being home-schooled by me. I chose this place because Devils doesn't have any influence here but that decision backfired on us." Cleria sighed as she remembers the envious look of her daughter when she saw kids of her age going home from school. Cleria and Masaomi can't risk their daughter's safety and it's a good thing that she's very obedient and very understanding for a kid but it also pained both of them. Cleria and Masaomi could only spend as much time as possible with her to ease her loneliness. This is also the reason why Claire longs for the 'big brother Kisuke' in their stories.
Kisuke and Yoruichi didn't speak after that as even though they aren't entirely good people and knew that some other children have it way worse, they still felt pity for the child of their friend longing for playmates, 'Even someone like me wants to help the kid after hearing something like that. I can bring her with me back to Japan but she'll end up separated from her parents which is worse…'
Cleria and Masaomi guessed what Kisuke is thinking seeing him rubbed his chin and stare at the distance, "You don't have to do anything else as I only wanted to explain to you my we are very grateful for being her playmate. And if it isn't much, please play with her for as long as you stay here."
"That's a given. Tomorrow will go out and play." Kisuke smiled and set aside this problem for now.
"Is that so? Would you like us to come with you or would it be just the three of you to explore the island?" Masaomi chuckled in delight and ask for their plan.
"Hmm… I guess we would like to explore the island on our own pace so it'll be just the three of us."
"Then I'll write down some places that are good to visit." Cleria smiled happily and pulled out a pen and a paper asking Masaomi for his inputs.
"Are you fine leaving your daughter to me?" Kisuke is a bit perplexed at their reaction, 'Aren't they trusting me too much?'
"It's alright. We took your advice and trained ourselves and we're very confident that we're the strongest on the island. But even then, I can only see you as a normal human which shouldn't be possible unless you're a lot stronger than us." Cleria released her demonic power and contained it within the house. She tried to pressure Kisuke with it but failed to even get a bit of reaction from him and Yoruichi.
"It's also possible that I'm not as strong as you think and only skilled in hiding." Kisuke just chuckled at her actions.
"Someone like you who can play with a Super Devil?"
"Seriously? That guy is really a Super Devil? I only got lucky."
"Hahaha. Either way, we trust you. We're already intruding in your good time with your wife by letting our daughter accompany you. And besides, we didn't stay here for nothing as we already have 'eyes' all over the island so if something happens, we would immediately rush towards you." Cleria pushed her point as she continues to write good places for them to visit tomorrow.
"Then it's decided. And I would like places with good food."
"Alright, noted. And you also need to know the power factions here."
"I'm listening."
"Most of the people here including those in Athens are Catholics so you can imagine the amount of influence Heaven has here."
"Figures… There are too many churches here, both old and new. And each one of them has some supernatural beings guarding it."
"Right. They are strong, but the most dominant force here in Greece is not them, but the descendants of the Greek Heroes who fought alongside the Olympian Gods."
"Hmm… Interesting. Tell me more."
"I don't really know about others but most dominant force here in Athens is the Perseus Clan, the descendants of Perseus himself."
'I've also heard the myth about Zeus' son, Perseus in my old world, but I didn't think that those myths would become reality here… Well, I guess with the existence of Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, I shouldn't be surprised.' Kisuke thought and he also wanted to confirm the myth from his old world so he asked Cleria, "Perseus, as in the guy who killed Medusa?"
"Yes. It already happened long ago, but the records of these events are still on my family's archive. And other large clans should also have a copy of it." Cleria confirmed his thoughts.
