Chapter 778 Little Changes

Aika was stunned speechless. She wasn't even sure that this is something that Kisuke would normally say. Nevertheless, despite her inexperience, she was able to tell the conviction that was behind him, even though he sounded really frivolous, 'What the... When did our relationship jump to this stage?!'

Naturally, she wasn't complaining and her heart thumped in glee a few times instead, even then she didn't know where this was coming from and this also became somewhat unsettling, 'Although he doesn't tell us everything, he promised that he wouldn't lie to us.'

"No, no, no. Instead of minding me, you should deal with those Gods. Aren't they a great risk for everyone if not dealt with properly?" Nevertheless, Aika still tried reminding Kisuke of the 'proper' priorities, "And would Yoruichi even agree, since it concerns everyone's safety? And what the hell's a 'late puberty'!? Are you saying that I was very immature until now!?", She asked while doing her best to suppress the grin that was about to surface from her face. "And lastly, don't just chalk this up to me going through puberty! Although there might be truth to that, it isn't everything!"

"You don't have to worry about that. Once I explain the situation to her, I'm sure she'll give me her approval." Kisuke then stood up, intending to leave without listening to Aika's complaints, "Now that the plan's been changed, I'll go break the news to Yoruichi and alter our other plans for a bit before meeting my appointment with Medusa."

Aika wanted to do the same thing, but she stopped when she felt Kisuke's hand on her head, "I may know a lot of things, but that doesn't mean I know most of the things in the world. While I knew that you were struggling with something, I didn't know what exactly it was. Nonetheless, if you want it resolved, as someone with a bit more experience in life than you, I can say that you first have to figure out what you want to do before you can start on a solution."

"In any case, if you want an ear to grumble in, I'll lend it to you later."

Aika could only stare at Kisuke's back who left the room and thought, 'What I want to do, huh... I honestly don't know... I hope I can think of something aside from the current status quo.'

Kisuke arrived at the room where Yoruichi and Medusa were staying and talking about the current operations of the tower. There were only the two of them because the rest were watching Kuroka and Koneko do some tests and adjustments to their newly acquired strength, so that they could use it in a real battle.

The moment he entered the room, Yoruichi immediately asked in curiosity and concern, "How is she?"

A small smile emerged from Yoruichi's face and added, "Well, if one tried to fully understand someone else's way of life, there would only be a conflict due to misunderstandings, so there's no point in doing that." She then turned her sights to the quiet Medusa, "What do you think?"

Medusa was startled when Yoruichi suddenly asked her. However, she didn't have to think about her answer and said, "I'm sorry, but amongst everyone here, I'm probably the least experienced in regards to what life has to offer as I only spent my time fighting, rampaging, and escaping. Now that I've thought about it, it's really a miserable life."

"Ah... Sorry about that... I shouldn't have asked."

Medusa immediately shook her head, "Please don't apologize since you're just asking out of curiosity. Nevertheless, I do have something to say."

Kisuke and Yoruichi peeked at each other before staring at Medusa to wait for her, "Compared to the first time I met master, he has changed significantly."

While Yoruichi seemed to understand, Kisuke tilted his head in confusion and tried to think back, "Me? Changed?", he asked while internally grumbling, 'I'm still the lovable shopkeeper that can't help but think about the worst-case scenarios... Yep... No change in that.'

Medusa acknowledged that Kisuke himself didn't know about it so she continued, "When I first met you, although I wanted to do anything to return the favor that you'd granted me, I was actually scared of you."

Kisuke's brows furrowed but he let her continue, "Yes, I was incredibly thankful and ready to do anything and everything, but somehow, somewhere inside me feared you because although you sympathized with my situation, you also saw me as an interesting subject that you could study. Because of that, I wasn't sure if my fate would be better or worse in your hands."

"..."

"And even though it was different, I could tell that Akeno-san and Irina-san were in a similar situation as me when you took them in."

"..."

"But as I've said before, that was in the past.", Like a blooming flower, a smile that came from deep within her appeared on her face, "Right now, you're in the midst of figuring out what's the best, not just for our safety, but also our overall well-being. I'd like to serve master from the bottom of my heart from here on out."
