Volume 4 Chapter 149 - Picking up a Beauty

She came running and stopped in between Medusa and Dennis, "Please stop this! This tradition is inhumane and should be abolished!"

Theodore sighed, "Here we go again…"

"Enough with your nonsense, Elexa! That isn\'t a human, but a monster that devoured countless lives in the past! So what you are saying isn\'t applicable to her!" Dennis\' headache worsen when the last of the competitors from the House of Shield appeared.

It\'s not that she\'s a threat for the seat of Clan Head as she\'s the weakest of them all. She\'s so weak that she would lose even to a normal ruffian on the street. It\'s just her unending preaching that annoys Dennis the most, "Besides, it doesn\'t really matter as she\'ll revive again after a hundred years or so. And killing her is mistress Athena\'s order. Our clan just used that chance to select the next Head."

"That\'s…" Exela wanted to refute him, but she\'s afraid of antagonizing Athena as you might never know when she is listening.

"See? It\'s has been like this since our predecessors. Nothing needs to be changed." Dennis didn\'t let up and continued speaking.

"But we can change it now! She doesn\'t have to suffer for our benefit!" Elexa though is very stubborn and wouldn\'t really change what she believes is right. In other words, after seeing Medusa suffering for countless years, the Hero Complex inside her awakened and wanted to stop this tradition of selecting the Clan Head even with her weak abilities.

"Gah!!! Useless! Speaking with her is useless! She\'s normally a very intelligent kid but when it comes to this matter she\'s strangely stupid!" Dennis scratched his head hard due to frustration.

While they were all doing this, they noticed a movement from Medusa who has been staying quiet all this time.

Back to when Theodore first appeared, Medusa managed to cool her head and think straight, \'I almost lost control again. In addition to insulting my sisters, the poison also dulled my mind that I rage after hearing it. I should be careful… My sisters wanted me to survive this life… I don\'t know if they\'re still alive but I have to confirm it later… For now… survive…\' Gritting her teeth, Medusa controlled the remaining mana inside her body to guide the power her sisters left her. She instinctively knew how to use and prepared it for the best timing she can get.

\'Next is the escape route… Going through the city\'s street is not as good as they have men everywhere in this place. The only place I can go to is… the sea. But that is Poseidon\'s domain… Well, I guess it\'s fine. Ever since my first beheading, I didn\'t meet any of them directly or they did anything to hinder me when faced against the Perseus… In any case, I won\'t be able to escape Greece so they are confident that I won\'t go anywhere that they can\'t reach…\' Remembering her situation again, she felt despair, \'If only I can rest in peace…\'

Medusa calmed her breathing and circulated her Mana. After a few minutes, Medusa rejoiced that all of the competitors for the current generation are here. If she\'s successful in her escape, she didn\'t have to worry one of them assaulting her in the dark.

When they started arguing, Medusa couldn\'t care less about what the girl is saying as she already saw many others who did try to stop the tradition but failed. She puts her plan into action gathering the attention back to her and that\'s just what she wanted.

With a deep breath, Medusa let out a shrill scream and all the minions and the last comer, Elexa, lost their consciousness. While the three staggered and lost their balance dropping to the floor while holding their heads. She just used the power those voices left her.

"What!?" Unlike the two, Petter is still capable of speech and helplessly stared at Medusa as she jumps and escapes towards the sea, "Dammit!"

Petter shook his head to ease the pain that the scream gave him and aimed his spear at the escaping Medusa.

As Medusa jump down to the sea, Petter threw his spear. But due to the lingering effects of the scream, Petter missed his target and only hit Medusa\'s leg instead of her chest like he intended to.

Medusa ignored the burning pain from the spear and swam away. Her destination is nowhere as her only thought is to escape and survive. The poison has dulled her mind to the point that she didn\'t even think of what to do after jumping down the sea. And with her tattered body and mind, she lost consciousness in the middle of the ocean after swimming a mile from the coast.

The next day, Kisuke, Yoruichi, and the small Claire went out early to enjoy their day.

They started walking around the neighborhood and Claire pointing at things while happily introducing the place, like where she would get her candies or play with the other kids.

Kisuke and Yoruichi are attentively listening but they noticed something peculiar when they saw the other children in the playground give Claire a weird look. Kisuke and Yoruichi looked at each other and urge Claire to move to the next place. They decided to set it aside for now and ask Cleria later for further clarification. But Kisuke already resolved himself to bring Claire back to Japan.

After going around the neighborhood, Kisuke put Claire on his shoulders to which the latter enjoyed very much and they move to farther distance.

Kisuke and Yoruichi consulted Cleria\'s notes to go around and most of the places listed in the paper are those with good food and snacks.

Normally, all this snacking would bloat the little girl before she even had a chance to have her lunch, but Kisuke, with his ingenious use of Reiatsu-Ki, manipulated the food inside her body to instantly dissolve and released through breathing and sweat, resulting in her unending appetite.

They had their lunch in a restaurant with a seaside view. The chefs were dumbfounded at the amount they can eat. They almost ordered every item on the menu.

In the afternoon, they went sailing and another round for Kisuke\'s and Yoruichi\'s fishing competition and this time, Claire acts as the judge. There is no clear winner though as Claire just laughed happily at everything they caught.

Returning to the shore, the sun is already setting and they decided to walk along the coastline to enjoy the evening breeze.

The three of them reached a place where there are no people so they decided to return home as it\'s already pretty late. But just as they turn around, Kisuke and Yoruichi halted their steps and looked at each other.

"What are you going to do?" Yoruichi asked Kisuke.

"Hmm… For now… Keep her alive I guess…" Kisuke answered her and faced Claire who\'s looking at them in confusion, "Claire-chan, stay with Yoruichi-neechan for a minute, okay?"

"Are you going somewhere?"

"This Nii-chan will do some good deeds." Kisuke cheekily smiled at her before disappearing from her sight. She already got used to this scene as he already did it in front of her multiple times today, but her hand still reached out for Yoruichi\'s hand and held it tightly.

Yoruichi smiled and patted her head, "It\'s alright. He\'ll return immediately."

"Uhm." Claire cutely nodded at Yoruichi that she couldn\'t help but pinch her cheeks, \'After my body matures in few more years, I should also have a kid…\'

A minute has passed and Kisuke returned… with an unconscious woman in his arms.

With a bright smile on his face, Kisuke said, "Let\'s go home~."
