Volume 10 Chapter 599 - A Crazy Game
Kuroka and Medusa had already noticed the Loki Familia's presence the moment they stepped onto the beach. However, they chose to ignore them for a moment since they knew that they'd approach them sooner.
Besides, they were busy with what they were doing. While Medusa and Akeno were setting up the parasols, barbequing equipment and cooking ingredients, Kuroka, Koneko, Sona and Serafall were having a face-off.
Within the sand court that was divided by a net, Koneko, in a white swimsuit, jumped high and struck the ball in midair, sending it over to Sona and Serafall's side.
Despite sending it to the far-most corner of the court, Serafall, in a pink bikini, instantly appeared before it after figuring out the white cat's intention, "You gotta do better than that~ Here you go, So-tan!"
Sending the ball towards Sona, the beauty in glasses and a blue bikini jumped as high as Koneko and mercilessly aimed at Koneko's face, who was just about to come down.
However, Kuroka, in a black bikini, easily intercepted Sona's attack, "Not enough-nya~!"
Kuroka then placed the ball high up to have Koneko attack again. This kind of exchange went on even as the Loki Familia approached them, "What an amusing game y'all are playin'," Loki approached Hestia and Artemis with an interested expression.
"Loki? You're also here? What are you doing here?" Hestia then looked at the people following her, "And you even brought the majority of your children… I see that they are all female, though."
"What? You got a problem with that, chibi?"
"Huh!? And you think you're a lot better, displaying those nonexistent assets!?" rebuked Hestia while standing straight up, pushing her assets out. Unfortunately for Loki, those became more 'deadly' as Hestia was now wearing a swimsuit that emphasizes her curves.
Seeing that the situation was about to devolve, Artemis immediately stepped in with a wry smile, "It has been a while, Loki. I see that you're doing good."
Loki glared at Hestia and ignored her, putting her attention onto the Goddess of Chastity. And with a stern and suspicious expression, Loki replied, "It seems that you're also well… Even after that incident."
In face of Loki's suspicions, Artemis just smiled, "I was fortunate enough for the situation to be resolved."
"Right. If that wasn't resolved, you could have killed all of my children," Loki's words finally took away the attention of Loki Familia members from the Volleyball match to their conversation, "I'd really like it if you'd share what happened back then, so that the next time it happens, we would know what to do."
"I'm sorry, but I'd like to keep it to myself. However, you don't have to worry about this happening ever again as it was a unique and isolated incident."
"Hmm… I sure do hope so," Although Loki accepted it, she was still incredibly curious and wanted to know what really happened back then, 'I can investigate this in the future. I don't know what Freya saw that day, but one thing is for sure, Hestia and her children were involved.'
And since Loki didn't want Artemis to put up too much of a guard against her, she immediately changed the subject and turned her attention towards the new faces, "Your new kids?"
"Although they're technically Artemis' children, they came from the same hometown as Kisuke," answered Hestia.
"…What?" Loki's eyes widened. She knew that everyone from the Hestia Familia was strange and very special. So strange that she wanted to grab a few of them from Hestia, especially Kisuke.
The public only knew about Sona, Aika, Koneko and their achievements and thought that the rest from the Hestia Familia was just piggybacking on their fame. Little did they know that the rest of the Hestia Familia were actually the ones supporting and grooming the trio, who'd attained the unbelievable achievement of slaying Minotaurs despite just being Level 1s.
And the only common denominator among them is they came from the same 'hometown', "You could have told me about them and I would have welcomed a few of them with open arms to my Familia."
"I know that Kisuke wouldn't have agreed to that," replied Hestia.
Although the girls of the Loki Familia were confused, Loki nodded at her statement, "I know. Such an overprotective guy. Where is he anyway?" Loki looked around and couldn't find his figure, nor Yoruichi's.
Hestia looked away, "…Well, they're playing a crazy game."
"A crazy game?" asked Loki. But before she could ask further, she and the rest of her Familia suddenly heard two voices from the distance towards the large body of water, "Go go go, John Henry! It's the last stretch!" shouted Yoruichi.
"Hahaha! Go at full force, FiftyShadesofGreen!" Kisuke's loud voice followed soon after.
Tiona slightly squinted her eyes and looked towards the direction where the voices were coming from. However, all she could see was water being kicked up, "What's that?"
The others also looked towards them and wondered the same thing. But a few seconds later, as the sound cheering grew louder, they also finally saw what was going on, "T-those are… Aren't those Violas!?" Lefiya screamed.
The lower leveled Loki Familia members wanted to run back towards their luggage and get their weapons, while the higher leveled ones went into their fighting stances, readying themselves to intercept the dangerous monsters.
But at that time, Tione noticed something even more shocking than the monsters' presence, "Top… Top… On top of their heads!" she pointed to the flower heads and yelled.
On top of the flower heads were two people holding a stick with a pouch hanging in front of the monster, "Just a bit more, FiftyShadesofGreen!"
"Don't you dare lose, John Henry!"
Kisuke and Yoruichi were having a race using Violas by baiting them with magic stones.
While everyone from the Loki Familia was rendered speechless, Claire, Aika, Irina, and Ophis, who were watching from the coast cheered for them.
A few seconds later, the Violas crashed into the lone boulder along the coast, sending rocks and water high up. A few seconds later, Kisuke and Yoruichi emerged from the crash site with differing expressions.
"Yay! My FiftyShadesofGreen won!" Kisuke cheered like a child.
"Hmmph, if my John Henry wasn't distracted at the last second, I would have won!" And Yoruichi sulked like a kid.
"Right, right," Kisuke then gave her a tight hug to comfort her, "But I still won."
"Hmph!" But despite that, Yoruichi didn't even try to move away from him.
After a few more seconds, both of them finally acknowledged the extra people's presence, "Enough of that. We've got guests."
As if just noticing them now, Kisuke turned towards Loki and others and made a surprised expression, "Oh? If it isn't Loki-sama and co. It's been a while~ Have you been well?"
"…I've been very well these past two weeks, and it seems that you two are as close as ever," answered Loki after a short pause.
