Volume 4 Chapter 157 - Won\'t Escape
Medusa then stood up to further check the condition of her body. Her attire was changed yet again while she\'s sleeping, although, she didn\'t know how she\'ll feel about it. She grateful that someone takes care of her but also kept help but keeps thinking what they want in exchange, \'I have to confirm later what do they really want from me and if possible, escape this place. Athena wouldn\'t help the Perseus Clan all the way as it would be \'too boring\' for her taste. She would only point my general direction and would leave it to them how to pull me out, so I still have time… I should also ask if that is possible… If he can do it, I\'ll let him do whatever he wants with me… What\'s the worst thing that could happen?\'
Confirming her plans for the future, Medusa stretched for a bit to ease some of the soreness she\'s feeling and just after she did, the door of the room opened, "Yo~. It seems that you\'re doing good. Wear this."
Kisuke barged in without even knocking and threw a pendant in her direction. Medusa caught it with one of her hands and ask, "What\'s this?"
"Something that can hide your aura and Mana signatures. You can go out of the room after wearing it." Kisuke passed her the disguise equipment that he made for the Yaegaki family. Due to having an extra day, Kisuke decided that he should make one for the unconscious girl too.
With a bit of hesitation, Medusa wore it around her neck. The pendant is a shiny purple gem that is attached to a silver chain, "As expected of me. It goes well with your hair." Kisuke commented as he stares at her while rubbing his chin.
Even though the compliment is praising himself, Medusa felt embarrassed after hearing his words. However, she immediately shook her head to shake off such feelings, \'Don\'t get caught up in his pace, Medusa!\'
To be honest, though, This is the first time she felt embarrassed since time immemorial so she didn\'t hate it. On the contrary, she felt refreshed. Even the food earlier reminded her that being alive isn\'t so bad. But she knew that these things would come to an end sooner or later and would only regret it she became too attached to these feelings.
"But I\'m pretty sure it\'ll look better if you take that blindfold off." Kisuke, disregarding Medusa\'s reaction, continued his words.
"That\'s impossible…" An immediate answer from Medusa, "Once I took this off, only misfortune would arrive those who are around me…" She calmed down after saying this, \'Right… These eyes are the start of everything… Because of these eyes, I can never hold those who are close to me anymore…\'
"Is that so? That\'s a shame…" Kisuke sighed in disappointment.
"Anyways… Aren\'t you afraid that I would escape from this place once I exited this room?" Things are getting awkward so Medusa changed the subject.
"Nope~ Not at all!" Regaining his smile, Kisuke answered energetically.
"…What makes you so sure?" Medusa wasn\'t so sure how to react from his words, \'Did he put a trap somewhere? Or is the entire house covered in this kind of barrier too?… That\'s… too suffocating…\'
"That pendant has a built-in tracker." Against Medusa\'s prediction, Kisuke answered her question honestly.
"…What the hell? Why tell me that?" Medusa staggered after hearing him, \'Medusa… Don\'t get caught in his pace…\' Letting out a mock cough, Medusa proceed on speaking, "Ehem… I\'ll just toss it away then."
"What!? That\'s cheating!"
"…"
"Well, whatever. I\'m still sure that you aren\'t going to escape. After all, you\'re pretty concerned about those two souls inside you and you didn\'t know about their existence until recently. You probably wanted to ask me something regarding those." Kisuke finally took a serious tone, erasing the playful tune he is playing earlier.
"!? Then…!" Medusa abruptly took a step forward.
"I won\'t answer any of your questions through~. Not until after dinner~." But surprisingly… Or not, Kisuke didn\'t answer her expectations.
"You…" Medusa was speechless yet again, \'This bastard! Is messing with me that fun!? Now I can\'t think of anything else aside from that topic! How can I enjoy my dinner!\' Without her notice, Medusa was already caught up with his pace.
"Alright, let\'s go before the food gets cold." Kisuke disabled the entire barrier before exiting the room.
Medusa gritted her teeth and followed him outside. For the first time, Medusa met the other two people in the house. But the husband and wife noticed the frustrated expression she is making and the happy smile on Kisuke\'s face. Cleria approached her and patted her shoulder, "It\'s alright. I understand how you feel. But it\'s no use thinking of getting back at him. He\'ll only play with you."
Medusa faced Cleria and noted the pity directed at her. Instead of getting angry, however, she gave her gratitude, "Thank you… I\'ll remember that. My name\'s Ana. Nice to meet you."
"Cleria Yaegaki, nice to meet you too." Cleria smiled and shook her hand. She then pointed to her husband, "And this is my husband, Masaomi Yaegaki."
Masaomi nodded at her, "Nice to meet you, Miss Ana. I hope you enjoy your stay here in my humble abode. By the way, that is my daughter Claire Yaegaki. You already met her earlier."
"Big sis! Let\'s play!" Claire called out to her.
"No sweety. We are about to eat. Go wash your hands." Cleria immediately reminded her. She\'s very happy for her though, as she became very lively ever since Kisuke and Yoruichi arrived, \'Inviting them over is our greatest decision in life.\'
"Okay~." Medusa watches as she took small steps towards the washroom.
"I\'m back~." From the entrance of the house, Yoruichi entered.
"Welcome back~. How is it?" Kisuke asks.
"Still the same. That clan is still searching for her randomly."
