Playing With Other Supernaturals Chapter 712 Book 12: Returning the Stubborn Elf

Chapter 712 Book 12: Returning the Stubborn Elf

The moment he stepped into Daedalus Street without letting anyone detect him, a pillar of golden light blasted through the man-made Dungeon and shook the whole city. But instead of fear, cheers of victory proliferated with the news of the city’s Adventurers’ triumph over the evil that threatened to destroy it.

The moment he stepped out the street, a familiar short stack girl started walking alongside him, “I understood why you helped Ophis-chan, but why did you kill that Creature like that? I refuse to believe that you just killed a person who’s about to die just because you became slightly annoyed.”

“I didn’t kill her. I needed her to do something for me.”, replied Kisuke.

Serafall thought for a moment before asking, “Does it have something to do with when you said that both of them are wrong? What did you mean by that?”

“Originally, Spirits, no matter which class, could only use one aspect of Magic. But in exchange, they are so good in said Magic, that they are only worse than the Deities.”

Serafall immediately understood what he wanted to say, “But those Demi-Spirits could use everything except for Wind Magic.”

“Correct.”, Kisuke’s expression then became serious, “And they achieved this using a very disgusting method.”

Serafall couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva because it was not often that she saw Kisuke like this, “…What method?”

“I don’t know how it was achieved nor exactly how it works, but something or someone mixed and mashed the souls of ancient Spirits that fell in the Dungeon long ago and created those abominations.”

Serafall thought back and recalled every single detail regarding the Demi-Spirits and guessed, “So they’re looking for ‘Aria’ the Wind Spirit to complete their existence?”

“That’s what I had guessed as well, but without any conclusive evidence, I can’t say for sure.”

“Then what does it have to do with this Filvis?”

Kisuke sighed before answering, “It seems that the Deities involved in this don’t know about it, but if nothing was done with her situation, her soul would have been cut up into pieces and fuse with the main mind of the Demi-Spirits. Dionysus would only be met with a nasty surprise when he finds out that Filvis’s soul didn’t ascend with him.”

Serafall didn’t say anything and let Kisuke continue explaining, “To save her from that fate, I lent a bit of my power to help her navigate. Of course, I didn’t do that just because I wanted to save her. That power I lent her also served as a tracking device and thanks to that, I’ll be able to get a much clearer picture of the network of souls within those Demi-Spirits.”

“Then where will her soul go? She can’t just be wandering around there forever, can she?”

“A soul like hers would alert those Demi-Spirits or those behind them sooner or later so after some time, my power will properly guide her back to the Dungeon.”

Hearing that, Serafall surmised and muttered a single word, “Xenos…”

Kisuke didn’t confirm it and just smiled at her, “I have to send this girl back first. I’ll return soon after.”

Serafall sighed lightly and said, “Okay~ I’ll go back first. I’m curious about the egg that Ophis-chan brought back.”

While everyone in the city was celebrating the victory that the big Familia’s achieved against their lifelong enemies, silence and a heavy atmosphere was covering the usually noisy pub of Hostess of Fertility.

Because it wasn’t that long since the battle for the city’s future ended, there weren’t any customers within it and all of its inhabitants were aimlessly wandering about. Although Mia didn’t want this kind of atmosphere, she couldn’t really say anything as she could understand how they were feeling.

With their good friend’s life or death unknown, they couldn’t possibly join the festivities.

Mia looked towards Syr who was silently having a drink in the corner of the pub while looking out through the window and thought, ‘She should have sent me down by now… Does she really trust the news of Kisuke Urahara following her that much? There’s also the existence of the Juggernaut… I wonder what she’s planning?

At this moment, Anya suddenly stomped the floor and yelled, “I’m going down, nya!”

Chloe and Lunoire also immediately put down what they were doing and simultaneously said, “I’m coming with you.”

The two of them looked and nodded at each other before facing Mia, “I’m sorry, Mia, but we can’t just sit still.”, explained Chloe.

“I also wanted to enjoy the festivities, but I can’t do that with the situation right now.”, added Lunoire.

“That’s right, nya! Without any news regarding Ryuu and Kisuke Urahara, I’m already at the limit of my patience, nya!”, exclaimed Anya.

But before Mia could give them her answer, Syr abruptly stood up while looking outside.

Her sudden movements also attracted everyone’s attention and inadvertently transferred their sights towards the direction she was looking in before being met by a very pleasant surprise.

Kisuke was about to knock on the door of the pub when it abruptly opened and those inside it jumped at him with scary expressions. “Ryuu!!!”, they cried out.

But before they could grab Ryuu from him, Kisuke suddenly disappeared and reappeared beside Mia, “Geez. Please be careful. Although she’s fine, you can’t just jump on someone unconscious like that.”

As someone who formerly led the whole Freya Familia before, Mia never let go of her guard, even if she had a simple job of tending to the pub, but the moment Kisuke appeared beside her without any warning, she trembled and alarm bells started setting off on her head. However, she did her best not to show any reaction and kept her hand from suddenly lashing out, ‘Even if I attack him, just from that, I doubt I could win.’

Nevertheless, that wasn’t the same for the others. Seeing his sudden movements, Anya, Chloe and Lunoire’s demeanor instantly changed with their stance gearing to fight.

Though before they could do anything else, they each got a knock on the head from Syr, “What are you three doing!? It’s your fault for suddenly jumping on him even if he’s carrying Ryuu!” She then turned to Kisuke and said with a relieved expression, “Thank you for saving her.”

It was only then that Syr got closer and took a better look at the sleeping Ryuu. She was utterly speechless at what she witnessed, ‘Her soul… is a lot brighter and pure than before? What happened down there? And how could a soul suddenly shine like this?’ Her curiosity was about to explode but she needed to hold this in.

The three girls then became confused on why Syr was suddenly frozen on her spot and Anya asked, “Syr, what’s wrong, nya?”

Syr managed to calm down, but on the outside, she exaggerated her surprised expression even more and pointed, “Her clothes changed.” This was the excuse she found.

“Huh!?” Anya immediately checked Ryuu’s condition and indeed found her peacefully sleeping, but her clothes had changed, “Y-you! You didn’t do anything you can be guilty about, did you!?”

Syr chuckled and poured more oil on the fire, “Did you think that he’s the kind of man that would be guilty if he had done something?”

“Y-you!? Kisuke Urahara! What did you do to Ryuu!?” Anya lost her mind.

With a deadpan expression, Kisuke asked for help, “Mia-san… I need a little bit of assistance here. And could you double Syr-san’s workload? I’ll order more food.”
