Volume 12 Chapter 722: Face to face with Ouranos

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Filvis was already sitting on her bed and Medusa was about to leave the room when the latter suddenly turned around, "You might think that you're hiding it, but most of us already know that you've already planned to take your own life."

Filvis's eyes widened but her face displayed a self-deprecating smile, "What? Are you going to stop me?"

But contrary to her expectation, Medusa made a small smile, "Of course not. Since you've technically been forced into this kind of life because Kisuke needed you to do something for him, he asked us to let you do anything you want to yourself, even if that is suicide. Although we didn't tell any of this to Hestia-sama, because she's far too kind and she would most certainly not leave you alone until you've changed your mind."

Surprised in another way, Filvis couldn't help but mutter, "...You lot are really different from the rest."

"...How conceited."

"P-pardon?"

"With your tiny world view, you judged us to be different. If that's not conceited, what is? Just because you've suffered greatly doesn't mean you've already seen everything. Only when you've suffered and come to terms with it for the future could it be considered that you've taken the first step into the real world."

Medusa was about to close the door, she recalled something else and said, "Oh, and by the way, if by any chance you decide to stay alive, I have advice for someone who has similar abilities to mine. I said earlier that controlling your urges and desires is what separates you from animals and monsters, but you should also never be afraid of it. After all, it's your power and when you come into a situation where you need everything you've got to do something important, like saving a friend, you'll be thankful that you didn't slack off in improving it."

As the sound of the door closing resounded within the room, Filvis flopped down on the bed while covering her eyes with her arm, 'What should I do?... Lefiya...'

The next morning, Filvis slowly opened her eyes and thought, 'I didn't think I'll get a good night's sleep.'

However, when she had fully woken up, she found it strange that she couldn't move both of her arms and legs, '!?'

She wanted to exclaim, but she also discovered her mouth and could only let out muffled sounds from her throat, "Nnng!?"

"I see that you're awake~ It's good to see that you've got a good night's sleep."

Filvis immediately turned her head towards the source of the voice and saw that Kisuke was holding a cloth sack while grinning, "Nnng! Nnngg!? Nnnnng!"

"Save your breath. I have not the slightest idea what you're trying to say." Kisuke replied as he put the struggling Filvis in the sack, "Don't worry. I won't be taking you anywhere dangerous. In fact, I'll be taking you to your only friend's place. Be grateful~!"

But instead of calming down, Filvis struggled more, 'No!!! Please! Anywhere but there! Please! I don't want Lefiya to see me like this!' But all she made was a useless noise of struggles.

Leaving the Hearth Manor with a moving sack on his back and a bulging belly, instead of the Twilight Manor, Kisuke made his way to a certain dark alleyway, which was the entrance to the secret pathway that led to Ouranos's secret room.

After waiting for a few minutes around it, a black-cloaked figure emerged from its shadow, "Kisuke Urahara, it's our first time meeting. I'm Fels, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too~ I've heard you've taken care of my girls while I was away. Thanks for that."

"Your gratitude is unnecessary. If anything, I'm thankful for the immense help they provided. But that's not why you're here, is it? For you to specifically come to my master's doorstep instead of contacting me through the Guild, may I ask what you need?"

Kisuke didn't say anything and just placed the sack on the ground and opened it a little bit for Fels to see.

Curious about what's inside the moving sack all this time, Fels took a peek and what he saw almost made his mask fall off. With a shaking hand, Fels pointed at the person inside it, "I-is that Filvis Challia!? B-but that form..."

"This is enough to meet your master, isn't it?"

Of course it is. But he still had to go back and explain the situation to Ouranos before getting his permission. Nonetheless, before he could turn back, Ouranos's voice echoed from the secret path, "Fels. Lead him in."

Fels immediately got his bearings back and said, "Please follow me."

After a few minutes of walking through the secret passage filled with inscriptions, Kisuke concluded something, 'So it is a large array for containing Divine Power instead of Magic Power. I guess this is how he does his so-called 'prayer'. Just what sort of agreement did he make with the Dungeon? Or is it the actual Dungeon?'

While these questions floated in Kisuke's head, they reached the secret room where Ouranos was sitting on the podium, looking down at them, "It's nice to finally meet you, Kisuke Urahara."

"It's also an honor to meet the man that is keeping the Dungeon calm."

Ouranos's forehead creased slightly hearing this, "It seems that you know a lot of things. But that isn't why you're here. I heard Fels uttered a name that was supposed to have left this world as if he had seen her come back to life. What is that about?"

"There are two things I want to say." Kisuke then started untying the sack again and instead of just opening it, Kisuke pulled the entire sack down, revealing the girl with white-hair, crimson eyes and bat-like wings attached to her back.

Filvis thought that she'd be going to the Loki Familia, but instead she was in front of Ouranos. Not knowing what's happening, she chose to stay still.

An expression of shock became apparent on Ouranos's usually stoic face, "...This is more than I imagined. What do want us to do?"

"Oh? You're not going to ask for the details?"

"Are you willing to explain it in detail?

"Nah~ Too much effort and it's useless to explain. Anyway, your Guild officials will certainly question me when I walk through the town with her on my back, so I want a certification to send them away. I'm also here to inform you regarding her existence so that you won't come into conflict with anyone taking care of her."

"How can we be sure that she won't cause any further trouble?"

Kisuke shook her head, "You can't as she'll surely cause trouble in some way or another. Just her existence was enough of a problem. However, it'll be up to you on how to use that trouble to your advantage. Lastly, her having no reason should be a reason enough to give her a chance, don't you think?"

Ouranos thought for a moment before letting out a sigh, "Fair enough. What about the second thing you wanted to talk about?"

"We're leaving Orario."
