Volume 4 Chapter 172 - Glasses
"…I know what a maid uniform is… but why?" Medusa sat down on the chair opposite of Kisuke.
"It\'s because that\'s the only clothes I have on me." Kisuke lied with a straight face. If she didn\'t know better, Medusa would think that he\'s telling the truth. Although it\'s also useless if she were to point that out. One thing is bothering her but can\'t ask though, \'How about the underwear? Why do you have a set of white underwear just right for my size!?\' She was too afraid to ask.
Kisuke sighed in satisfaction and put down the pair of glasses he working on the table. Curious, Medusa asks, "What\'s that?" She can feel the residual strange energy that Kisuke uses from it. Although it\'s already dispersing, she can tell that there is a complicated formation embedded on the glasses.
Kisuke didn\'t answer her question, and strengthened the barrier around them, "Take off your blindfold." He instructed.
Medusa furrowed her brows and asks, "Why?" She didn\'t want to take it off as much as possible because she doesn\'t know what kind of accident might happen.
"Just do it~. You\'re going to like it." Kisuke replied. When Medusa started wearing her maid uniform, Kisuke already secretly called room service for additional food. He was sure that he could finish the glasses in time so he moved forward the plan in his mind.
Still confused but she already trusts him greatly. Medusa already decided not to talk about what happened earlier when she almost lost control. Without asking further questions, she removed her blindfold and the eyes that petrifies everyone was revealed to the world yet again. Mana started gathering to her eyes again without regard to her will. A second later, the petrifying gaze returned to its full power. Medusa already knew that Kisuke can resist its effects as long as she doesn\'t strengthen it deliberately. Although looking at him again with her eyes made her recalled the events yesterday and felt embarrassed by it again, \'Is it my fate to get embarrassed every time I\'m with him?\'
Ignoring her reaction, Kisuke then grabbed the pair of glasses again and passed it to Medusa, "Wear it."
Medusa grabbed it in confusion while Kisuke walked towards the door, "What is this for?" She asked out loud but still wore it as he said.
The moment she put it on, Kisuke snapped his fingers and the barrier around them suddenly disappeared, "What!? What are you doing!?" Medusa was, of course, shocked at what he did.
Kisuke didn\'t stop there, though, as the doorbell suddenly rang right after the barrier was removed. Without hesitation, Kisuke opened the door and let the service crew in.
"Wait!…!!!" Medusa dashed towards the door to stop Kisuke but she was already too late. Without hesitation, she decided to seal her again. But just as she was about to reach out for her blindfold to cast her \'Breaker Gorgon\', a needle flew from Kisuke\'s direction and it embedded itself on Medusa\'s left shoulder paralyzing her in place.
Fear crept up to her face as she inevitably looked at the grinning Kisuke and the man with a cart full of food, "This is the food you have ordered. Where do you want me to place it."
Instead of looking at Kisuke who opened the door for him, he is more inclined to ask the beautiful woman who is in a maid uniform, \'Damn… This guy has some good taste! Such a beautiful lady! Celebrities had to move away from her or else they\'ll be compared to her…\'
He noticed that the lady isn\'t moving and has an indescribable face, "Uhmm… Ma\'am? Where do you want me to place your order?" He asked again while mentally, he is cursing, \'What\'s with that face? If you don\'t want to be disturbed, then don\'t ask for room service! Sh*t! This guy is too lucky! I also want a girlfriend like her!\'
Medusa first looked at Kisuke to confirm that everything that is happening isn\'t a dream. In response, Kisuke nodded at her with a grin still plastered on his face, "…You can put it on the table…"
The service crew followed her instructions and put all the food on his cart to the table. The food they ordered before is still untouched but that isn\'t his problem. As long as they are paying, it\'s fine, "Well then. Enjoy your stay." The man left after receiving his tip giving Medusa a glance before closing the door.
Kisuke approached the unmoving Medusa while chucking. He removed the needle and sat back down on his chair. Even though the paralyzing effect of the needle was removed, Medusa still didn\'t move from her position and only stared at Kisuke dumbfounded.
"How do you like it~?" Kisuke opened the cork of the wine and poured on the two glasses.
"…H-How?"
"Although it took some effort, I manage to create a formation that would only nullify the effects of your petrification, of course, within certain limits. If you strengthen your eyes on your own accord, it\'ll break. But this, unlike your magic that seals everything including your eyesight, is more convenient." Kisuke explained.
Medusa then blankly walked towards the window and looked at the view below, "…Beautiful…" This is what she longed for… Looking at everything and not worrying about everyone that looked back at her turning into stone. A single tear flowed down from her eye. \'Convenient\' like Kisuke said couldn\'t compare to what she is experiencing right now.
"Right~. It\'ll be more amazing while eating good food. Come here and join me." Kisuke urges Medusa to sit down with him to eat. He started working on the food with great relish. It\'s also his way of replenishing his concentration that was consumed when he rushed to make the glasses.
"Thank you… I don\'t really know how can I ever repay this…" Medusa put her hands together and bowed down in front of him.
"Your welcome. But this isn\'t for free~. You have to pay it back later." Kisuke wanted to say \'pay it back with your body\' like any other \'normal\' person but stopped himself as it\'ll cause a huge misunderstanding in the future, \'I don\'t want her telling Yoruichi that I\'m asking for a sexual favor from her.\'
"I know…" Medusa wanted to tell him that she didn\'t know if it\'s possible for her to survive tonight. The Mana she gathered isn\'t enough to go against everyone in the Perseus Clan. She wanted to gather more, but any further would only result in the awakening of the \'Gorgon\' which the most undesirable consequence.
"Eat more. I injected Mana in those foods. It should help you later."
"…What?… Ah…" Medusa recalled the first meal she had with them and the Mana inside the food which was unbelievable. To inject that amount of Mana inside the most common ingredients is known as an impossible feat, but against that notion, he succeeded. Medusa already stopped questioning everything he does as it is the most futile thing to do, "This will really help…"
"Help me clean this up later."
"Okay."
"Let me study your eyes more in the future."
"Okay."
"Teach me how you materialize your chains and daggers later."
"Okay."
"And I\'m going with you to the temple~."
"Oka--… What!? No!" Medusa almost agreed and slammed the table in agitation.
