Chapter 782 Back to Orario
It had been three days ever since Stheno and Euryale had revealed themselves and they had finally agreed on what Medusa planned to do after much persuasion, with only the condition that Kisuke was not allowed to go near her for the duration of her 'training'.
He thought that it's because the sisters still couldn't trust him and they were afraid that he might do something that he deemed 'interesting' for the sake of his curiosity and put Medusa's safety in jeopardy. Little did he know, however, that it was for the simple consideration of their dear little sister as they knew that Medusa didn't want Kisuke to see her monstrous form.
Of course, that condition wasn't a big problem for Kisuke, but he too had conditions of his own if they wanted him to agree to it. First was that they were to be accompanied by Yoruichi at all times and second is that he'd disregard everything and take a look if the situation got dangerous. Since they were reasonable enough, Stheno and Euryale easily agreed to it, making Kisuke question if they just didn't like him since they allowed Yoruichi near them.
In any case, Kisuke wasn't seeking their approval and if they didn't want to get along, then he didn't have any reason to put in any effort towards it. It'd be a different story if it was requested of him by the girls, but that's for the next time since he's about to leave.
Naturally, they can't have Medusa's training within the Dungeon and her case was the most dangerous one since she'd be emitting loads of unknown Divine Aura that the Dungeon wouldn't be able to ignore no matter how much the one controlling it tried.
After being persuaded, Kisuke immediately sent them away to his planned location while giving Yoruichi everything she needed because their two Goddesses were hurriedly approaching with a very grim look on their faces.
Since they were able to still feel Stheno and Euryale's Divine Aura despite being enclosed by the barrier, Kisuke decided against introducing them to Hestia and Artemis for the time being and hearing their side first just to be safe.
The moment they left, Hestia and Artemis burst through the door and saw the familiar lingering lighting effects of the teleportation magic that had just been used.
The two panicked Goddesses immediately asked Kisuke where the unknown Gods were, but before he answered, he asked them to calm down and how they knew that there were Deities within the room.
As they were also confused and this was the first time in their long lives they've encountered something like this, they had a hard time describing it, but ultimately, Kisuke was able to piece their words together and was able to conclude some things that they couldn't describe at all, 'So they were able to feel their Divine Aura just from the initial release. Although I was able to act fast enough, the aura was still able to reach them without diffusing.'
'On top of that, although familiar, it's also very foreign and they felt threatened by it? I don't have any information to point out the problem, but it's obviously going to be a hassle if some other Deities were to discover them. I sent them to a very secluded area of the world and even sent Yoruichi items that could block the sights of those peering from Heaven except for Chaos, so there shouldn't be any problems for now. However, it looks like I'll have to work on a much stronger sealing artifact for the two of them.'
After arranging his thoughts, he finally answered Hestia and Artemis' questions. Clearing that they were Medusa's older sisters that have been hiding within her to recover and they finally came out today. Hestia and Artemis felt relieved after hearing this but some concerns regarding their Divinity were left.

With all of the preparation done for his return and no unusual reports from Yoruichi, Kisuke spent the whole three days accompanying everyone to where they wanted to go and what they wanted to do.
"Don't you have to prepare more? I mean since you'll be taking me, you ought to have more work to do.", asked Aika while she's being accompanied by Kisuke around the market to buy some souvenirs.
"You don't have to worry about that. I've already made preparations in case Yoruichi wouldn't be able to assist me, so doing anything further would just be redundant.", Kisuke answered while looking around for something interesting.
"...I suppose I should have reached that conclusion. Then I won't be holding back today! Let's go take all the strange things!"
"No, no, no. You should not be taking strange things for souvenirs. That isn't how it wo-..."
Aika immediately looked back in confusion and saw Kisuke wearing a rare serious face, "What's wrong?"
Kisuke didn't answer immediately and started rubbing his chin, "...It looks like a troublesome Goddess went berserk."
"A Goddess?"
Kisuke didn't elaborate any further and turned around and walked away while waving his hand goodbye, "I'll be returning to Orario, but I won't be taking too long."
After disappearing through the crowd, Aika felt Kisuke's aura disappear. However, there's something on his leaving back that bothered Aika but she couldn't point it out, '...What's this feeling...?'
Aika wanted to forget the strange feeling she'd had since it's Kisuke that's involved here and there should be nothing to worry about. But after a few minutes of deliberation, she decided to trust her guts and hurriedly contacted Yoruichi.

After receiving a whisper from the 'Dungeon', Kisuke teleported back to Orario. However, he didn't do so within the city but reappeared outside of its perimeter. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but smile wryly after seeing the whole city was is covered by a potent Charm Magic, 'Just what did ticked her off this time for her to unleash such a desperate move?'
