Ais imdiately rushed out before Lysa could even reach Kisuke only to imdiately halt her charge when he caught her precious partner. But that wasn't the end of it as she was dumbfounded when the man and Dragon started communicating as if they'd already known each other way back. anwhile, the other mbers also had the sa reaction as Ais.
'The only ti she could have t this man is when we first discover her deep within the Dungeon but that's not the problem. He's speaking as if he already knew that we're taking care of her even before receiving the rumors from the town.', thought Finn and beca even more suspicious of the unexpected guest.
The next instance, however, sent another wave of shock as Kisuke let go of the Dragon, but instead of returning to Ais like they were all imagining, Lysa flew on top of Kisuke and comfortably nestled on his shoulder, "L-Lysa?"
The mbers of the Loki Familia couldn't believe their eyes as they knew how the pompous Dragon acted. She was already hard-pressed when soone wanted to lightly touch her scales and only ever rested in Ais' arms despite the others trying everything they could think of to get her close to them.
But now, said Dragon's proud deanor had already disappeared as she rubbed her face on Kisuke's cheek, trying to act coy with him.
Never could they have imagined that soone of a much higher existence was following Kisuke. Lysa thought that if she was always acting arrogant in front of him, she'd receive a Divine Punishnt.
However, before they could even ask where Kisuke could have possibly t Lysa, soone else stepped out from the crowd and approached him.
"Fil-... Visha? Where are you going?"
The masked white-haired woman ignored Lefiya and continued walking without hesitation. This action of hers, however, made everyone, except for Loki and Lysa, nervous. Since Filvis was already technically dead, she shouldn't approach anyone and she shouldn't even speak outside of the Twilight Manor in case soone recognizes her by her voice.
Finn clenched his fist and gave Filvis a threatening look but the latter just ignored this warning and continued unfazed. Seeing this, Finn got ready to forcefully take her away as her existence could threaten and tarnish the na of Loki Familia that they've built for a long ti.
However, as soon as his eyes t with Loki who had been already looking back at him, Finn unclenched his fist and sighed, 'If she thinks this is fine then there's nothing else for to say.' Even then, he still waited with a bated breath since he didn't know what Filvis was trying to do.
Nevertheless, the wave of surprises didn't stop as Kisuke turned to her direction when he felt her gaze and greeted her with a smile, "I see that you're doing great, Challia-san. And it seems that you've also learned how to hide your wings now."
If they had their weapons on them right now, they would have already pulled them out and pointed them at Kisuke.
The tension was high and the short silence was very unbearable for the Loki Familia. Not knowing what's going on made their mind draw blanks and that within their own territory which they consider their safe base.
Of course, Loki knew how they were feeling so as to not further increase the pressure around, she spoke like this is normal, "So you didn't teach her that? I assud you gave her so thod to hide those."
Filvis then took off her mask, showing her ruby red eyes with cross-shaped pupils, "I saw how that girl Tanis did it and figured that I can do it since we're technically the sa. And this is the least that I could do if I want to act like I'm still an Elf."
Kisuke noted the lightness in her words and the change in her deanor compared to when he first saw her and said in an admiring tone, "Heehh~... So after what happened to you, you've beco more open-minded, huh."
To that, Filvis responded with a wry smile, "It's thanks to you who first found . Talking to as if you couldn't care less about how I look, I only realized recently that that instance gave a brand new outlook that I wasn't willing to view before. That was very important to ... Thank you."
After living her daily life with the Loki Familia, she realized that small differences aren't really such a big deal after an understanding has been reached on both sides and she really never had a chance to recognize that thanks to her encounter with Kisuke. Ever since then, she wanted to express her gratitude to the man who brought her here, 'I'm sorry, Lord Dionysus... But it turned out that you're not the only one who could accept and understand .'
Kisuke understood her point but he just shrugged his shoulders, "Then the sa credit goes to everyone in Hestia and Artemis Familias. They treated you the sa, after all." But even if she has a point and it was because of him, Kisuke would still not accept her gratitude because she was 'saved' not because of him, but her own will. Technically, Kisuke just conveniently used her to understand the circulation of souls within the Dungeon.
Though the simple truth was that Kisuke just wanted to piss Dionysus off by not sending Filvis to him and didn't like the fact that the Dungeon was 'recycling' souls without any care to their individuality.
"F-Filvis-san... Do you know him?" Lefiya asked a question with an obvious answer.
Finn and Riveria, anwhile, turned to Loki and asked, "What does this an, Loki?"
"It's simply because it was this guy here and his companions that t Filvis-chan first.", answered Loki with an exasperated voice, "But even if we explain it, there's no way you'll understand."
Finn furrowed his brows, "How are we supposed to understand if you don't explain it in the first place? Whether we understand it or not, it should still be up to us."
"That's true but the situation is more complicated than you could imagine because of what's happening right now. Don't worry though. I guarantee you that you'll all understand it in a few days at the latest."
Kisuke chuckled at Loki's words, "Aren't you giving too much credit? What if that stubborn Goddess doesn't want to pull out?"
"Then force her off her high horse. Give her a good smack if you have to."
Kisuke contemplated while rubbing his chin and said, "For that, do you think pissing her off would work?"
