Volume 10 Chapter 584 - New Travelmate
Kisuke spent the rest of the time he had remaining with his family, while also creating some tools that could prove useful for them. Unlike his previous world where he only had to think about a few 'Factions', the world he's in now, not only did he have more people to protect, but also it's a lot more complicated. Angels, Devils, Fallen Angels, Monsters, Magicians, Gods, and more, aiming for different things, wishing for their own future.
A whole day had passed and Kisuke, along with his family, just finished their dinner and were now sitting face to face.
"I don't have much time, I'll have to get going soon," Kisuke muttered as he sipped his tea.
Sakura heaved a large sigh, "Is that so? Good… You can't leave the others for too long," Sakura then looked straight into his eyes, "But before you go, we'd like to ask you to do something."
Kisuke already knew this and nodded, "I'm listening."
"Then allow me," Cleria suddenly spoke up.
Kisuke looked at her and noticed a strong resolution within her eyes. When he looked around, Masaomi also had the same expression, but Kisuke didn't say anything and just waited.
"Kisuke-kun… Please take Claire with you."
Kisuke's eyes widened from her question and looked towards Claire, who was happily playing with Ophis, not listening to them. His expression returned to normal, however, Kisuke didn't immediately refute her and stayed silent to listen to their reasonings.
Cleria continued, "As you know, things are getting dangerous and we figured that she'd be safer with you."
Kisuke shook his head, "That isn't enough of a reason."
Cleria then smiled wryly and looked towards her daughter who's laughing happily, "Looks like she's having a lot of fun… But she's only like that when Ophis is around."
Hearing that, Kisuke furrowed his brows.
"Most of the time, when Ophis is not around, we take turns to play with her, but we're also pretty busy with our own things, especially with the situation we have right now."
It was then that Kisuke recalled one thing and asked, "She isn't going to school?"
Cleria shook her head, but it was Diehauser who answered him, "She can't exactly go due to risks. First of all, before she could enroll, the system needs to check her bloodline and she would instantly be discovered. Such an outdated system is still in place thanks to the nobles who believe in their superiority, and it's designed to find those rogue noble bloodlines."
"She could bypass that if I use my influence, but that would leave a trail towards me. As you know, we still have a lot of enemies in the dark. They're not moving because we aren't much of a threat to them yet. If they knew that there's a Belial descendant on the loose, it might cause them to move unpredictably."
"Still…" However, Diehauser interrupted Kisuke and added, "On top of that, I don't think we're able to stay hidden."
Kisuke became quiet.
"The fact that you showed that you have a Devil Bloodline is the main cause in this. If you think that Ajuka is the only capable one, then you're utterly wrong. It won't just be him, but also others will figure it out sooner or later, the origin of your Bloodline. Once that happens, all eyes will be focused on our clan. And you already know it'll be hard for me to hide them any further."
Sakura then immediately followed up by saying, "If you're thinking that we're going to run away and hide, we won't do that anymore. It's about time we faced our enemies. We won't run away knowing that our family is in danger."
Masaomi then bowed his head towards Kisuke, "As such, please take Claire with you. Not just her safety, but also her well-being will be secured around you and Ophis. A kid like her shouldn't be inside the house all day, dreaming about the outside world. It pains me to say this, but my wife and I don't have any way to give her the normal life a child should have with the current situation we have… At least, if she's with you, she'd be energetic all day long."
"Uncle, please don't bow to me. You're putting me in a tight spot."
Nevertheless, Masaomi didn't listen and didn't move from his posture.
Kisuke sighed and became silent yet again. He then started considering the reasons they presented and it's indeed the best way to keep Claire safe without putting her in a stranger's hands. On top of that, he has a bit of leeway to bring one more person with all the preparations he had done, as he didn't really need to protect Ophis from the void.
Kisuke grabbed his chin and started tapping the table in front of him, trying to think of ways to refute their words. But even then, he personally thought that it'd also be for the best if he were to take Claire with him.
Confirming his decision, he didn't hesitate any longer, "Fine… But you have to prepare everything for Claire," He then looked towards the little girls, "Including convincing her. I'm certain that you haven't told her any of this."
Cleria and Masaomi sighed in relief and smiled wryly, "You're right…"
Finishing his tea, Kisuke stood up, "Then I'll finish everything else. Once I'm back, we'll leave immediately."
Sakura also stood up and hugged her son, "Thank you for agreeing with our unreasonable demand."
Returning her hug, Kisuke replied, "It's not unreasonable, mom. I'm also aware of the danger surrounding everyone these days. So you have to promise me to keep yourself safe and sound."
"Don't worry. I will. You have to keep yourself and those girls safe too."
"I'm working on it."
After a few more words of farewell, Kisuke left for his first hideout to release the people who're training with their lives on the line.
First, Kisuke deactivated the dummies fighting the Student Council, "We're done~! Good work everyone~!"
Looking at them, Kisuke could only find some minor injuries, a stark contrast to when they first started.
"Finally!!!" Saji shouted. But the rest couldn't even stand up after all their tension was released. They just wanted a good rest.
Kisuke understood them and directly teleported them to a designated location where the Sitri Household could take care of their recovery without saying any further words.
He then moved towards the other two who're still fighting the dummies and was surprised by what he saw, "Hmm? Their progress was much better than I expected…"
