"And I'm Urahara Sakura~!" Sakura's hologram suddenly appeared, "I'm Kisuke's mother~!"
At Sakura's introduction, Hestia and Line beca nervous. While Hestia knew why she beca nervous, Line didn't have any idea why.
"Nice to et you too. I'm Hestia and I'm their patron Goddess."
Cleria, Masaomi, and Sakura were shocked at her disproportionate but they were even more surprised when she introduced herself, "The Goddess Hestia?" Sakura muttered.
"Yes?" Hestia, including Artemis, beca confused at their response.
"Oh, I'm sorry. There's nothing strange.", Sakura imdiately apologized for their weird response and proceeded to explain, "It's just that we also know a Goddess Hestia, not personally, but on the records."
Kisuke beca interested and asked, "Records? Why do you know of these records? Even stumbling upon them should be hard."
Sakura let out a short sigh and replied, "It's the days we're still looking for ways to deal with Lilith-chan and looked through all kinds of old records about Ophis-chan in hopes of finding sothing like a weakness. You see, despite being only a part of her, Lilith-chan is powerful enough to be Rizevim's bodyguard, who's a Super Devil."
Kisuke and dusa only told Yoruichi, Kuroka, and Serafall about Lilith's appearance and no one else took Claire and Tanis when they ntioned that they made a new friend that looked like Ophis since they thought that they just t a look alike. So upon being ntioned, everyone looked towards Ophis who was supposedly sitting quietly in the corner but those who didn't know about Lilith's existence were astounded at the identical little girl that appeared without their notice.
With shining eyes, Aika approached Lilith and started pinching her cheeks, "Why didn't anyone tell us that Ophis-chan has a twin?"
"You'll hear the full explanation later, Aika-chan, but to further explain my point earlier, Hestia of Mount Olympus is one of the many Gods that perished when they tried subjugating Ophis-chan long ago."
" " "EH!?" " " Hestia, Artemis, and Line simultaneously let out a voice of disbelief.
anwhile, Ophis is trying to recall such an event but she kept drawing a blank and kept tilting her head from side to side, "...I have no recollection."
" " "EHH!?" " "
Sakura chuckled and said, "I'd be surprised if you do. After all, that happened even before Humans thrived and Angels and Devils started appearing. So it should have been a few tens of thousands of years ago since then."
" " "EHHH!?" " " The three natives of this world couldn't wrap their heads around Ophis's existence after such revelation and this is especially true for Line who didn't know what to think about anymore.
Out of the three, however, Artemis was the fastest one to calm down and cleared her throat, "...I'm Artemis, also one of their patron Goddesses. Nice to et you."
After their short conversation, several theories erged on Artemis's head, and by introducing herself, she'll be able to clear her doubts and questions, not just 'Hestia's' existence, but also hers and Ophis's.
"Really?" Sakura's face brightened, "What a coincidence, really! This ti, we personally knew a Goddess nad Artemis from Mount Olympus. She's one of the forefront fighters when Trihexa escaped its seal."
Kisuke and Yoruichi narrowed their eyes and their expression beca serious when Sakura casually dropped a bomb. Serafall, on the other hand, couldn't keep it to herself, "What!? The Beast of the End escaped!? How!? And how is everyone!?"
Yoruichi put her hand on her shoulder to calm her down, "Take it easy. Since mom ntioned it lightly, the situation should have been resolved, at least to so extent."
Serafall listened and took a deep breath.
She knew that if soone of Ophis and Great Red's level started rampaging, a global effort would be needed to deal with it. But as soone who forrly managed the foreign affairs of the Underworld, Serafall knew how fragile and fractured the relationship between Mythologies and different territories that such a global effort would be extrely hard to realize even with the existence of the Alliance, "You're right... I'm sorry."
Thanks to Serafall's sudden outburst, Artemis already lost her chance to ask more about this 'Artemis' that she knew.
And since it's already about ti they move to the main topic, Sakura looked towards Line and urged her, "And you, sweety?"
Line panicked for a bit and hurriedly introduced herself as she bowed forward, "I'm Line Arshe from the Loki Familia! I'm also Kisuke-san's student! It's a pleasure to et you, mother!" Due to anxiety, she failed to notice how weird the last bit of her sentence was.
Kisuke wanted to ask why Line called his mother 'mother' but she was stopped by Sakura through gestures and asked, "He hasn't taught you anything weird, has he?"
Straightening her back, she answered loudly, "The topics he enlightened were already beyond my common sense so I have no idea which of them are weird! Please forgive !"
Sakura laughed at her actions and patted her shoulder, "Don't be nervous. I'm just really worried since I know my son has this really weird habit of just teaching others things that would really appear weird to others, regardless of where he is."
However, deep inside, Sakura was feeling complicated, 'Just how many is he going to snag? But I guess having many grandchildren to spoil is also fun in its own way.'
Although there are still many questions that Hestia and Artemis wanted answers to, Kisuke wanted to get the whole picture of what happened on the other side first so he asked, "Shall we move to the main topic?"
"We'll do that but there are still so people who want to join this eting. And don't worry. They should be arriving soon. It's really hard for them to open their schedule because of the current state of affairs.", answered Cleria.
It only took a few minutes for the said guests to arrive and it was a pleasant surprise for Serafall and Sona, "We're sorry for being late. We didn't expect that those geezers would still be as stubborn as before even though the situation doesn't look good."
Dylan, along with his wife, Cordelia, entered the room, and as soon as they appeared, Serafall jumped on them, "Mother~! Father~! You're here!"
Cordelia chuckled and caught her daughter. Although she's already old, she can't imagine Serafall acting any other way anymore, "It's good to see you, Serafall." She then looked towards Sona who's happily making her way to them, "And you too, Sona. I see that you're doing alright. I'm glad."
As she walked forward, Sona started tearing up and Serafall went out of her way, "M-mother..."
Her reaction was understandable because no matter how strong she likes to act, she's still a young girl that was abruptly separated from her loving family and almost lost her life from it.
"Mother...", hugging her mother firmly, Sona repeated.
Cordelia also tightly hugged her daughter and whispered, "I'm glad... I'm really glad that you're alright."
Soon, Dylan and Serafall joined them and they created a warm atmosphere that no one disturbed.
