Playing With Other Supernaturals Volume 7 386 -Riverias Effort

Volume 7 Chapter 386 – Riveria’s Effort

When Riveria finally got back home from her meeting with Kisuke last time, every female member of the Loki Familia was looking at her weirdly, while some of them would blush and look away. The latter reaction was especially prevalent among the Elves. She wanted to ask what was going on, but everyone didn’t seem to want to speak.

She tried to ask the male members but they too didn’t know what was going on and just saw Loki showing them something before running off somewhere. It was then, a bad feeling took over, but she didn’t know what was happening. She tried to find Loki, but it seems that she went out to prepare for the Gods’ Banquet that was happening that evening and she dragged Tione, Tiona, Ais, and Lefiya, who also just came back from shopping, with her.

Without much choice, she ignored everything for now and proceeded to call the other two top executives of the Loki Familia to discuss Kisuke’s terms.

If it was just her, Riveria would have already chosen to accept Kisuke’s offers, but she was in a leadership position of a large Familia, so she couldn’t just unilaterally decide on an activity that can potentially affect her duties and those around her.

In the meeting room, Finn and Gareth arrived together and saw that Riveria was arranging some files, sorting out the things that needed to be discussed by them.

“Riveria, how did it go?” Finn asked as he sat down on his chair.

“He’s the real deal, no, more than that, he’s more than what we expected…” Riveria answered while sighing.

“Is that so?” Finn felt a bit surprised at her reaction but didn’t show it, “And? What does he want?”

Riveria then proceeded to present them Kisuke’s terms. Loki Familia’s aid when requested in exchange for information gathering done by their group and materials worth a hundred million to a billion Valis in exchange for his magic knowledge that Riveria had already confirmed to be beyond hers.

Both Finn and Gareth were shocked at the second one, but they chose to focus on the first term, “Our aid when requested in exchange for their intelligence gathering?” Finn asked with furrowed brows, but then, he suddenly remembered when they first met the Hestia Familia at the Hostess of Fertility. The Amazon and the Cat Person suddenly appeared behind Tiona without them noticing, ‘I see. So those two are the ones responsible for intelligence gathering? If it’s a skill like that, then they should be able to infiltrate a lot of places…’

“Alright, let’s make a proper guideline of what aid we can provide.”

“First of all, we need to know their motives each time they request aid. Second, we can decline if their request will put our members in too great of a risk or it goes against our moral beliefs. Lastly, if we discover that they’re hiding something that could endanger us, we can terminate this term without any repercussions. And regarding their intelligence gathering, they have to inform us if something even remotely related to the Loki Familia is discovered. If they don’t and we discover it, we can also choose to terminate this term. That’s it for the first term for now. Show it to him first before we further discuss the details to see if he has any problem with this.”

Riveria nodded as she listed everything Finn just said.

“Continuing to the materials… That will be hard…”

“About that, I’ll be shouldering the cost. Since I’ll be the one benefiting the most. I just need everyone’s help with the gathering of said materials.”

“That’s fine, but what are the limitations imposed on you regarding the things he’ll impart to you?” Gareth asked.

“He just has one request…”

Finn became very curious. Since it was already confirmed by Riveria that this was valuable knowledge, he already expected some serious restrictions, like only Riveria and a few others could learn it.

“The origin of such knowledge… He doesn’t want it pointed to their group.”

Finn and Gareth’s eyes widened at such a strange condition, but thinking about it again, Kisuke has a point, “I see… He doesn’t want to attract attention to himself and those around him… And since that strange magic must be an integral part of their strength, they don’t want people looking for them because of it.”

Riveria nodded, “That’s right. He wanted to make his group less unique in the eyes of others, just in case someone discovers it.”

“So, does that mean you can teach others his magic?” Gareth asked while stroking his beard.

“Yes. He also suggested that I could use this to get tuition fees from others to lighten up my burden.”

Finn nodded knowingly, “That’s understandable…”

“So, do we accept the second term as it is?”

“Hmm… It’s really hard to decide…” Gareth muttered.

“Gareth is correct, even if we know it’s valuable knowledge, a billion Valis is still too much… And I doubt it’ll stop there. Another thing is, we don’t know how much he will teach you and he’ll still get the thing he wanted. He could just teach you the basics of the basics and never disclose any advanced techniques.”

“We’re already giving him too much for the first term as he can request as much aid as he needs as long as it doesn’t violate the guidelines and he can still withhold some information that we might need from us. I don’t want the second term to be disadvantageous for us too.”

Riveria felt relieved that Kisuke gave her the last item she needed to convince the two. Putting the purse she received from Kisuke on the table, Riveria instructed Finn, “Put your hand inside this purse.”

Finn and Gareth didn’t know why Riveria would suddenly take this out when they were talking about something important but they also figured it must have been an item related to the lack of advantages they could receive in this deal.

Without saying anything, Finn reached out for the purse and opened it to take a look inside. However, he and Gareth were shocked, as they couldn’t see anything inside despite the amount of natural lighting coming from the windows. Finn tried to put it in front of the window but the opening of the purse remained shadowed, “This is…” he became wary of the purse.

“Don’t worry about it, just put your hand inside it and you’ll understand.”

Nodding at her, Finn proceeded to follow Riveria’s instructions and put his hand inside the purse. But the item he’s expecting to touch didn’t appear… and the same with the bottom of the purse, as if it disappeared. He then tried to find anything he could grab but noticed that his whole upper arm was already inside the purse despite not feeling anything which was already an impossible feat, “This is!?”

“A bag with a bigger space than it shows… He told me that there’s a half a cubic meter of space inside it. He also said that the contents don’t change its weight that much, but I haven’t tested that yet.”

“This is ridiculous…” Gareth muttered, also in shock of what he just witnessed.

“I know, and he said that he can make a few of these every month.”

“So that means we can get more of these on a regular basis…”

“Yes.”

Rubbing his chin, Finn concluded, “If he can supply us with these regularly, then we’re actually getting more in this deal since this thing could help us gain surplus supplies and marching speed in the Dungeon.”

“He actually wants one more thing. He wants confidentiality. And I think he wants to limit the information that I can pass to everyone. So I’ll probably need to swear on my Falna for that to happen.”

Wearing a serious expression, Finn asked, “Is that fine with you?”

“Yes. As long as there’s a proper agreement between us, then I’ll be fine.” Riveria gathered everything and intended to end the meeting right here, but before she left, she asked the two of them, “By the way, do you know what’s going on? The girls have been avoiding me.”

Finn and Gareth looked at each other before smiling wryly, “Well… Yes… Remember what happened last night?”

With a crumpled face, Riveria replied, “Please do forget about that…”

Not minding the face she was making, Finn continued, “Loki has this very accurate picture of what happened last night… And from its perspective, it must have come from Kisuke Urahara.”

With eyes wide open, she ran out shouting, “Loki! Where are you!?”
