Chapter 385 - Taking it Easy

Waking up with a flower on each arm, Kisuke started his day refreshed. Kisuke first checked on Sona and Yoruichi as they got a bit too wild last night, emptying entire bowls of whipped cream and some small fruits...

Seeing that they were still sleeping peacefully with small smiles on their faces, Kisuke gave them a kiss each on their foreheads before he exited his room. Once he got out, he met the four girls who just had their breakfast and were doing their morning exercises.

When the girls noticed him, each and every one of them gave him a blank face... even Medusa, who usually, just smiled and greeted him every morning. Kisuke then noticed their tired complexion and knew the reason behind the atmosphere but didn't bother asking about it, "Good morning everyone~."

But instead of returning his greeting, Aika asked, "Why didn't you put up a sound-insulating barrier?"

"Why? We're the only ones here... So I don't think it's necessary... Besides, the walls are pretty thick."

"The walls did nothing, senpai... Onee-sama and I can hear it very clearly." Koneko, who slept with Kuroka last night, retorted with still a blank expression, "If I wasn't there... Kuroka-neesama would have joined you because your noise kept her hot and bothered all night."

"Shirone!?" Kuroka tried to cover her mouth, but she was too late, 'I see... That blank expression means she's frustrated...' Kisuke thought.

Feigning a cough, Kisuke faced Aika and Medusa, "Ehem, I understand Koneko's reasoning... But you shouldn't have heard it... Unless you purposely listened to it."

Without changing her expression, Medusa answered, "It's my duty to always listen in case the master needs my presence. If there's something, please don't hesitate to call me as I'll be coming as fast as I can." She revealed her intentions discretely and subtly.

Nodding at her made her smile a bit and Kisuke then faced Aika to hear her excuse, "Eh... Uhmm... Y-You and Yoruichi taught me how to passively strengthen my senses so I've been using it continuously, even in my sleep! That's the reason I could hear it! It's really hard to sleep with those kinds of noises!"

Nodding again, Kisuke muttered, "I see... That's why you have a very faint scent on your fingers..."

"What!?" In shock, Aika immediately tried to smell her fingers, but she could only detect the scent of the hilt of her nodachi, "But I made sure to wash my hands very thoroughly..." She muttered.

"You practiced your Zanjutsu in the middle of the night to take off your mind from the noise." Kisuke suddenly continued.

"Eh...?"

"But based on your reaction just now... You did something else other than practicing with your sword..." Kisuke grinned.

"Y-Y-You tricked me!!!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Kisuke retorted, "I didn't, you just revealed it yourself. By the way, where's Hestia-sama?"

"She's still sleeping, master. And I think she's unaware of what just happened." Medusa answered.

Scratching his head, Kisuke muttered, "I really need to ask her to be active for a bit... If I don't, I feel like this will get progressively worse..."

After the morning 'mayhem', Kuroka, Medusa, Aika, and Koneko got ready for today's Dungeon exploration and before they left, Kisuke reminded them, "By the way, Arshe-san won't be able to come with you today. Loki-sama will probably bring her here today."

"Got it. We'll only stay around the floors 15 and 16. Koneko and I still need some adjustments." Aika answered.

After their daily forehead kisses, the group left with enough energy to last them throughout the whole day.

A few minutes later, while Kisuke was preparing the things he would need for Loki's arrival, Hestia came out of her room while still rubbing her eyes, "Good morning, Hestia-sama. What would you like for breakfast?"

Stretching up for a bit, Hestia greeted back, "Uhnn... Good morning, Kisuke-kun... No need. It's already late and I need to open the shop. I'll just have my breakfast there. Where's everyone?" Due to the Gods' Banquet the other day, and Loki and Hephaestus not leaving her alone for the whole night, Hestia became too tired and had to sleep a bit longer, at least in her perspective, than usual. However, a bit longer is actually very long because as soon as she separated from Kisuke and Hephaestus yesterday, she had been sleeping.

"Kuroka, Medusa, Aika, and Koneko just left for the Dungeon, while Yoruichi and Sona are still sleeping."

Hestia then proceeded to look straight at Kisuke's eyes, "Still sleeping... hmm... Take it easy, will ya."

With a serious expression, Kisuke replied, "I'm taking it easy."

Hestia didn't know what to say after that so she just hurried herself to the bathroom to fix herself for a bit before going out. When she was about to leave, Kisuke notified her, "Hestia-sama! Loki-sama will probably come later! So please call me when they arrive!"

Hestia's face changed when she heard Loki's name, but she still nodded at Kisuke before going.

"Now then, time to prepare the equipment for treatment, I still need to assemble some of them..." Kisuke then started working on the essentials that would help him treat Line's soul and bodily injuries after she underwent the level reset.

It was only after lunch that Hestia came down and called him up as Loki and the others had arrived and were now waiting in the shop, "Kisuke-kun! They're here!"

"Got it! I'm coming up in a few minutes! I just need to finish this first. Please entertain them for a moment."

After about ten minutes, Kisuke was finally able to set everything up and proceeded to his shop where everyone was waiting. When he came in, what came into his view was Hestia and Loki rolling around as if trying to bite off each other's face while Line was about to cry trying to stop them. Riveria, who was the last person in the room, on the other hand, was only quietly sipping on her tea, ignoring the commotion the Goddesses were creating.

"It's good to see everyone is so very lively~." He only left them alone for 10 minutes or so and it already devolved into this, 'As expected... They're good friends.' Kisuke thought with a smile.

" "It's not good at all! This rabid brat(flat) Goddess is about to bite off my face!" " Hestia and Loki simultaneously retorted.

"Kisuke-san! Please help me separate them!" Line pleaded to the newcomer.

"Good day to you, Kisuke... I hope you're ready to be smacked by my staff." Riveria, meanwhile, faced Kisuke with a dark smile covering her face, "Don't worry. It won't kill you..."

'Now then... How should I mess with this Elf...' Kisuke thought after hearing her threats. He wasn't even feeling remotely guilty for passing Loki a photo of her when she reached a small climax in the pub and instead, was trying to think of a way to gather more 'insurance' materials.' Maybe I should target her ears next? They have to be more sensitive than normal…"
