Playing With Other Supernaturals Volume 8 487 -A Date in Another World

Volume 8 Chapter 487 – A Date in Another World

During this ten-day period, Kisuke busied himself in treating the girls, while also testing the device that could open a portal to a different dimension after receiving the rest of the materials from the Loki Familia.

Riveria and Ais visited him a few times but Kisuke sent them away since he was focusing his time on his project. However, an exception to this was Line as Kisuke continued to teach her in his free time. As someone who agreed to his unreasonable conditions, of course, Kisuke would take Line as a priority.

But every time when Line would go back home, she could feel how Riveria’s and Ais’ gazes at her intensified each time, “Uhmm… Kisuke-san… Could you give some of my time for lessons to Riveria-sama and Ais-san?”

“Why?” Kisuke asked blankly.

“Eh?… W-well, I think it would be nice if you could give them a little more attention.” Line answered after looking left and right.

“Are they bothering you by any chance?”

Line immediately shook her head, “N-no, no, no! They are not bothering me!”

Kisuke eyed her and said, “Just tell me when they do. I’ll deal with them.”

“S-sure… Will do.” Line answered with a twitching mouth, “Out of curiosity, how are you going to deal with them?”

“Ignore them for real,” Kisuke answered seriously.

‘Are you a kid!?’, retorted Line in her mind. But when she thought about it again she realized, ‘Wait… That’s indeed quite effective.’ With Riveria and Ais already acting like she took something away from them after they were politely rejected each and every time, Line could imagine that they would be pissed once Kisuke started ignoring them for real. ‘Looks like I have to endure their painful gazes for a bit longer. But the lessons are nice and I can live with that, I guess?’, was her conclusion.

After sighing, Line refocused herself on her studies. She couldn’t waste this opportunity, especially when she was prioritized over her superiors.

On the day of the festival, Kisuke was able to finish his work of stabilizing the transfer device. During that time, he was also able to stabilize Aika, Koneko, and Sona’s conditions. But they hadn’t woken up yet due to the stress on their minds and Kisuke didn’t want to interrupt their natural recovery, if possible. He predicted that they would wake up in about three days or so.

It was already late in the afternoon when he got out of his workshop. However, he still had enough time to prepare for his date. “Where’s Yoruichi?”, he asked the currently cleaning Medusa.

Medusa looked at him and answered, “She just went out, master. Apparently, she asked a tailor to make a yukata for her and went there to retrieve it. She also said that she’d be waiting for you an hour later in front of the fountain in Babel square.”

As the preparation for the Holy Moon Festival went on, the group noticed that it resembled the Japanese summer festival with the stalls along the streets, selling ‘unique’ snacks which were only available on the day of the festival like takoyaki. This made them all think about how this world had also developed the same or at least similar culture, compared to their home.

“She could have just asked me to make it for her.”, Kisuke muttered.

Medusa frowned after hearing that, “Master, when it comes to a maiden’s heart, you really are hopeless, huh.”

“Huh? Where did that come from?”, Kisuke was startled.

After sighing, Medusa explained to him, “If she asked you to make it, even though it would be of better quality and design, the surprise wouldn’t be there anymore. Although I don’t know much about modern times, isn’t there a need for a couple who’s about to go on a date to meet up in a certain place, surprising each other with their look?”

Kisuke’s eyes widened, “Ah… Now that you talk about it, I indeed recalled reading something like that in some novels.”

Kisuke then smiled and patted Medusa’s head, “Thanks for reminding me. I’ll take a bath and prepare myself.”

Grinning at her master’s touch, Medusa replied, “Please enjoy your night.”

Kisuke then removed his hand on Medusa’s head and said, “Will do.”, before turning away.

But before he could go far, Medusa suddenly called out to him, “Uhmm… Master…”

Kisuke stopped walking and turned to her small fidgeting figure, “Hmm?”

Medusa hesitated for a moment before she gathered her courage and said with a slightly flushed face, “C-can we go on a date sometime later?”

Kisuke smiled and replied, “Sure. I don’t know when, but I promise to take you out.”

Medusa smiled happily, “That’s enough for me!” She was thankful that her courage paid off.

An hour later, Kisuke walked through the streets while wearing what he prepared earlier, a navy blue striped yukata with a black sash around it. Unlike his usual self, Kisuke properly took care of his appearance by shaving every little bit of his beard and straightening and tying his hair into a ponytail.

With the sounds of his geta sandals attracting attention from others, everyone couldn’t help but take a second look at him. Unlike his usual attire which obscured the way he looked, after properly taking care of himself, Kisuke ended up having an appearance and aura that wouldn’t lose to the Gods.

The confident aura and clear silvery-gray eyes even made some ladies call out to him, which he politely refused. But that made them even more attracted to him.

Of course, Kisuke couldn’t care less about the attention he was drawing, since all of this was for his beloved lady.

After a few minutes of walking and refusing some ladies, Kisuke finally reached their meeting spot and saw a beautiful lady wearing a beautiful, flower-patterned, violet yukata with her hair tied in a bun.

Kisuke ended up staring at her for a few seconds, but that was also the same for the yukata lady. A moment later, both of them smiled and Kisuke approached her, “Hi, beautiful miss. It seems that you’re alone in this noisy festival. If you don’t mind, want to go around together?”

With the same smile, Yoruichi replied, “I’m very sorry, but I’m waiting for someone.”

Kisuke smiled wryly and said, “You could have just played along.”

With a sneer, Yoruichi replied, “I did. Didn’t I just reject you?”

Kisuke chuckled, “Hahaha, I guess that’s true.” He then looked straight into her eyes and said, “Sorry, I’m late. You look fantastic.”

Yoruichi smiled happily and grabbed his arm, “I just came too~. And you too, I didn’t expect that you can be such a looker. How many ladies approached you? Isn’t that the reason why you’re late?”

“Ehem.”, Kisuke feigned a cough, “Milady, why don’t we go. Although it’s still early, we should enjoy the festival as much as possible.”

“Fine.”, Yoruichi chuckled, “Let’s go! I want some takoyaki!”

The couple then went on their way to enjoy the festival. On the way, they also came across some acquaintances and all of them were shocked by their appearance, especially Kisuke’s.

“U-uhm… Are you really Kisuke-san?”, asked Line, who was going around the festival with her girl friends.

With his left hand inserted in his yukata, Kisuke rubbed his chin with his right hand and asked Yoruichi, “Do I really look that different?”

“It’s not just your appearance. The way you carry yourself also slightly changed. Before, your movements were full of casualness, but now, it’s just half of that and the other half is formal. In addition to that, you look very ‘clean’.” Yoruichi answered.

She then looked towards him with a grin, “The gap between you right now and from how you usually act is fatal for a single woman~.”

Kisuke then looked towards the gaping Line to ask for confirmation.

Line was startled when Kisuke suddenly turned to her, but she immediately nodded her head at Yoruichi’s words, “If I didn’t ask you, I would have just thought of you as someone who had a really similar face!”

“Really? Oh well, it’s just for today.” Kisuke just shrugged his shoulders.

“Eh?” Line was startled for a second time before muttering, “…That’s a waste!”

Seeing that the talk wasn’t going in a ‘nice’ direction, Yoruichi grabbed Kisuke’s arms and bid her farewell to Line and her friends, “Well then, we won’t disturb you any longer~. Kisuke, let’s go! I still want to visit some stalls.” She then started dragging Kisuke without waiting for Line’s reply.

“Ah, see you next time.” Kisuke also hurriedly bid his farewell before going away with Yoruichi.

Once they took some distance, one of Line’s friends suddenly asked her after not being able to get a hold of herself, “Eh? That’s Kisuke Urahara? The Gigolo Master?”

“Don’t call him that!”, shouted Line. She had a feeling that Kisuke didn’t want to be called by the Alias which the Deities gave him. So she avoided it, ever since learning about it.

“But that’s the Alias that the Gods gave him.”

“Even then! Please don’t call him like that, especially when you’re in front of him.”

Someone else then muttered while looking in the direction where the couple disappeared, “But, after seeing him like that, I can somehow understand why he has so many women beside him.”

“No! Kisuke-san isn’t just like that!” Line hurriedly corrected her, “Kisuke-san is much more than his appearance!”

Her friends then slowly looked towards her with blank faces. “W-what?”, asked Line nervously.

“Could it be that you fell for him too?”, one of them suddenly asked.

Line’s cheeks flushed slightly and she hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head, “No, no, no! Of course not! He’s my teacher, so I respect him!”

“Hmm…”, Line’s friends scrutinized her before one of them said, “Well, everyone knows that Line’s crush is Bete… except for a few dense people and the person himself.”

“W-w-wha! Please don’t talk about this!”, shouted Line while she covered their mouths in panic, but to no avail. She then looked around in a hurry before sighing in relief. Somewhere inside her, she didn’t want Kisuke or anyone from her group to know about it.

Her friends, however, misunderstood her reaction and thought that she was still running after the wolf boy.
