Chapter 725 To the Twilight Manor part 2
"That\'s very kind of you, but I want to see everyone\'s reaction without your input. I don\'t want you to sway their decisions seeing you have the power to do that."
Loki slumped back to the couch, "Well, I at least think it won\'t be a nasty surprise. So anything else?"
"Ah, that\'s right. I haven\'t told everyone, but we\'re leaving Orario."
Line\'s eyes widened while Loki\'s expression became serious, "What for?"
Kisuke thought for a moment before answering, "Nothing much. Just a change of scenery, I guess. And the girls would have more freedom at our destination compared to this place where most information is public."
"I just decided on it last night so I haven\'t asked everyone, but I don\'t think they would disagree. And by any chance they disagree, I can always cancel it."
Loki scratched her head, "But I don\'t think you could leave peacefully. Your girls are really attractive in the eyes of Deities. And it doesn\'t help that no one among them really knows anything about you and looks down on you. They thought that you\'re just some figurehead that knows how to sweet talk. If not for you, I would have put in great effort just to recruit them.
"Though you must have done something to Freya since she\'s not making a single move on anyone in your Familia. Ultimately, that sultry bitch was even more fond of talented and unique children than me."
Kisuke chuckled at Loki\'s words and replied, "No need to worry about that. I already got an official send-off from the Guild so they can\'t really say anything if we were to leave."
"Hmmm... Looks like you already prepared everything you would need. I should have known," Loki muttered as she rubbed her chin. She then took a quick glance at Line on her side. As someone who watches her children carefully, including Line, although it\'s not obvious to everyone, Loki could tell that Line was dejected, \'Of course this would happen.\'
After thinking for a few seconds, Loki finally asked, "How about taking Line-chan with you?"
"Loki-sama!?" Surprised, Line exclaimed. Although she thought of asking the same thing, she held it back due to her responsibilities within the Familia, which had increased along with her abilities. But undeniably, Line was happy inside, however, she didn\'t show it on her face.
\'Where did this cute girl come from?\' Loki saw the corner of her mouth twitching as she tried to hold back smiling.
Kisuke also noticed this but didn\'t comment on it, "I\'m fine with that, but are you sure? This is the time you\'ll need her the most, right?"
"That\'s true. Her healing abilities were beyond outstanding and she\'s also able to teach others Magic. However, her incredible ability to heal also dwarfs the other healers\' abilities and confidence."
Kisuke immediately understood her point, "I see. Having her around is good, but it\'s so good that it\'s actually bad for the other\'s development. That\'s what you\'re saying, correct?"
Loki nodded, "That\'s right. Line-chan\'s existence is like a big cushion that gives them too much comfort. And you know how much of an impediment to development extreme comfort could bring." She then looked towards Line, who was now making a complicated expression, "Aside from that, thanks to Riveria\'s prior experience, she\'s now better at handling Magic in general than Line."
Line also slowly nodded while adding, "I still can\'t use any Space Magic but Riveria-sama can already open a small pocket of storage."
"Wisdom really does come with old age," Kisuke commented while displaying his admiration.
"Say that in front of her and she\'ll whack you with her staff nonstop..." Loki then thought of something, "Actually, do that. She may try to whack you, but I think she\'ll do it with a blush on her face."
"I see... That might actually be a fair trade. Yosh~! My camera is always prepared!"
Seeing the black box in Kisuke\'s hands, Line panicked, "Please don\'t! Or she might blackout again! Loki-sama! Don\'t you remember the time you kept teasing her to the point that rampaged for a whole day without anyone being able to stop her!? We don\'t want another tragedy like that! She might just confiscate your wine stash and ban alcohol for a month this time!"
Loki shuddered at that possibility and hurriedly turned to Kisuke, "Let\'s do that another time."
Kisuke couldn\'t fight back against Loki\'s serious expression and put his camera back in his storage.
Clearing her throat, Loki continued, "Ehem. In any case, take Line-chan with you. Her rate of improvement should also increase with you and since she\'s my child, it\'s also a win-win situation for me."
"That\'s not a problem. In fact, I want her to meet someone in the Dizara Region. I think they\'ll get along well." Kisuke then turned to Line, "Do you need any time to prepare?"
"N-no," Line immediately shook her head, "Thanks to the bag you gave me, I always have my essentials with me, including your books. I just need to pack some of my clothes and I\'ll be done."
"That\'s fine. If they agree to my proposal, come and have dinner with us. We\'ll leave after that."
"Understood!" Line happily nodded.
"By the way, don\'t tell anyone that you\'re leaving," Loki suddenly interjected.
Line looked at her for a moment and understood what she meant and to some degree, Kisuke did too, "Wait. You\'re thinking that someone else might want to follow us?"
Loki immediately snarled at him, "Huuuh!? You can\'t think of anyone!? Want me to drill my toes into your nose so that you\'ll remember!?"
Kisuke closed his eyes and started to genuinely contemplate while muttering, "Riveria-san might want to come because of Magic, but I doubt she\'ll leave her responsibilities and that\'s the same for the other two top executives."
"As for the Hiryute sisters... I don\'t think they need anything from me."
"Bete-san and Viridis-san hate my guts so it\'s a no for them too."
"As for Wallenstein-san..." Kisuke recalled yesterday\'s scene where Ais suddenly ran off when she saw him, "Nope~ She was terrified of me so she\'s not the one either."
Kisuke opened his eyes and said with a large smile, "No one really comes to mind."
Loki and Line looked at each other in shock before turning back to Kisuke and simultaneously asking, " "Terrified?" "
