Chapter 779 Gorgon Sisters
Truthfully, however, although Medusa didn't have much of a good impression of Kisuke at first, she still trusted him and the actual people who planted doubt within her mind were her sisters that slept most of the time inside her.
Even before Kisuke was able to stabilize their condition to slowly recover within Medusa, there would be times that they would wake up for a few seconds to talk to their sister. One of the main points that they tried their best to convey was not to trust Kisuke despite being her savior. Their persuasion became more apparent when they could now talk to Medusa anytime.
Medusa, on the other hand, while keeping their advice in mind and taking it seriously, also asked them to watch and judge Kisuke properly as she knew how much they hated humans in general, especially men, due to the fate brought upon them by their own Divinity.
Medusa watched Kisuke give her a look of skepticism and gave out a small giggle without further clarifying herself.
And now that she could wholeheartedly trust Kisuke and everyone around him, she thought that it was about time she introduced her beloved sisters. Raising both of her arms to the side, two balls of golden light suddenly appeared out of her palms and gently shot out. The golden balls of light slowly hovered beside them and emitted a serene and divine aura.
However, what surprised them were the voices that were coming out of them.
"Medusa, what are you thinking, bringing us out!?"
"Euryale, don't be too mad. You already knew that this was bound to happen. It's also about time we introduced ourselves to our hero."
"..."
Medusa didn't say anything, but not long after, the golden balls of light started shining brighter and growing bigger, until they each formed a silhouette of a child. After a few more seconds, they fully materialized using the ambient Magic Power, revealing two identical people that have hair and eyes that were similar to Medusa in color.
Kisuke and Yoruichi were worried that they would materialize without any form of clothing, but thankfully, they both came out with white one-piece dresses.
Soon after, a wave of Divine Aura washed through the entire room, filling it with a pleasant fragrance and shocked Kisuke and Yoruichi how much it was affecting them, 'This is!?'
Kisuke and Yoruichi immediately looked at each other to confirm what they were experiencing was real before looking back to the identical Goddesses releasing a charming aura that was far more potent than when Freya was doing it actively. What was scary, however, is the fact that if they were not actively monitoring their state of mind all the time, they would have a hard time noticing this.
Stheno and Euryale smiled at their reaction and the former said, "My apologies, since aside from doing this, I can't really do anything else, much less fight. You could say that I'm just a frail little girl that anyone could easily kill if strangled."
"Well, minus the fact that others would want to protect instead of hurting me.", added Euryale.
Setting aside the fact that they talk like they were only a single person, Kisuke immediately raised up a barrier that covered the room to prevent the 'scent' from spreading out. Kisuke and Yoruichi could easily resist this, but that may not be the case for the rest, even if they trained so that they wouldn't be affected by Freya's charm.
""Ohh~"", the small Goddesses let out an impressed sound as they looked around them, "A barrier that suppresses the Authority of the Divine? Such a splendid accomplishment. Such a thing didn't even exist when we still roamed the earth.", Stheno commented before Euryale added, "But then again, we didn't know much of the world even back then. As far as we're concerned, we were only chased around and worshipped, so any other actions the Gods took didn't concern us very much."
Recalling the past, they thought that that may have been the very reason why they couldn't escape Athena's clutches. Their ignorance and indifference caused them to suffer for almost an eternity, and the worst part of it was that Medusa was the one who took the most heat out of it.
As much as they couldn't blame Medusa for her own corruption, they couldn't forget or forgive themselves for just being there and not being able to do anything to reverse it.
Getting out of their reminiscing, Stheno and Euryale turned their attention back to Kisuke and Yoruichi, "I apologize for taking so long. I'm Stheno, the first daughter of the Gorgon sisters."
"And I'm Euryale, the second on the line. It's a pleasure to finally meet the people who took great care of my little sister at long last. Thank you for saving us."
"If there is something I could do to return even a bit of favor, please do tell me. I'll do it to the best of my ability."
Although they look and sound identical, their demeanor and way of speaking were completely different from each other. While Stheno exuded elegance and grace that makes one feel happy of swearing loyalty to her, Euryale radiated a carefree and pure demeanor making others want to protect her.
This made it easier for Kisuke and Yoruichi to differentiate them from each other, however, at this point, it was only Yoruichi who smelled that there's something else deeper within their smiles, 'And that it 'smelled' rotten. At least that's what my intuition is telling me. Or I guess I'm just too sensitive to people who give out overly good impressions... Either way, it looks like I have to be careful around them.'
Yoruichi didn't show any of what she was thinking on her face, nor did she warn Kisuke, because she knew whoever it was, Kisuke would always suspect that something is wrong no matter what kind of impression he got from them.
Kisuke, on the other hand, replied to their greeting and expression of gratitude without hiding anything, "It was only out of convenience, but now that I've thought about it, I'm glad I was able to help Medusa back then."
But just with those words, Kisuke got a little bit of a favorable impression from Medusa's beloved sisters.
