A New Woman?

Half an hour had passed before Medusa exited the room with puffy eyes, only to see Kisuke grinning at her, "Looks like you had a good time~"

Medusa ran towards him and gave him a tight hug, "It was great..."

Kisuke returned the hug and said, "I see that my efforts were worth it~"

"Your efforts are worth my dreams..." Medusa's hug tightened even further and she whispered, "...Thank you."

Kisuke smiled at her heartfelt gratitude and patted her head gently, "You're very much welcome."

The two stayed like that for a few more minutes before Kisuke proposed, "Let's go home. They're probably waiting."

Medusa separated from him and nodded with a smile, "Mmm~!"

While Medusa was getting dressed, Kisuke contemplated if he should hide her appearance, but decided against it immediately after, 'Those at the top of the hierarchy will most certainly recognize her, but if I ask her to hide when she had done nothing wrong and most of her life was already hiding from others, it doesn't seem right. I'll just deal with the consequences later.'

With a typical Adventurer's attire, Medusa came out and the two of them went up to the surface. But the moment they are about to get out of the abandoned church, Medusa suddenly stopped and asked, "Am I going out like this? Some people would instantly recognize me."

"You don't have to think about them. If they confront you, tell them to send all their complaints my way. I'll deal with it."

Medusa couldn't help but smirk and say, "I don't think any of them will be complaining, but if they need something from me, then I'll send them your way. Thanks for the trouble."

Tapping his chest, Kisuke declared, "I'm the captain, after all~"

Although it was already night, the streets were still lively as Adventurers were just coming back from their hunt and celebrating their success. But even if they were far away, they could immediately recognize the infamous Captain of the rising Familia.

However, their glances only stayed on him for a split second before their attention was caught by the unknown individual beside him, "...Hey... Did they always have someone like her?" One of the Adventurers asked his comrades.

"If they did, there's no way I wouldn't know someone like her!" One of them answered.

Walking through the streets beside Kisuke, Medusa was having a different perspective, not just because of the height difference, but also the burdenless feeling of not having a body to constantly maintain. With a breath of fresh air, she could see and feel everything brighter and warmer. Due to that, she couldn't help but look around more with a bright smile on her face.

But thanks to her not minding her surroundings, Medusa was unaware of her lethal allure to those around her, be it man or woman, mortal or Deity.

The Adventurer attire couldn't hide her alluring figure. Her breathtaking, glistening purple hair that reflected the night's light reaching to her knees. Her purple gem-like eyes that enchanted anyone who saw them. And finally, all these prominent features, matching her captivating beauty, were collated and exponentially refined by the elegance in her movements.

Although imperfect, Medusa was still a 'Goddess' that was born from the congregated idea of an 'ideal idol'. Even most of the Goddesses of Beauty would envy her 'idealness'.

As to not give everyone around them any ideas, Kisuke grinned and said, "Medusa-chan~ Grab my arm~"

At that point, Medusa finally took note of the odd atmosphere and the silence around her. She then smiled brightly and happily accepted Kisuke's offer to declare that she's off-limits, "Let's go home~"

Passing through the market area, the pair left everyone with a dumbfounded expression. Before long, Kisuke and Medusa could hear the yells of resentment and jealousy targeted at a certain somebody, "Now your reputation has become even greater. Isn't that nice?"

"Ohoho~ These kinds of resentment and envy are food for my well-being. It's so nice to be me~"

"We're home~!" Kisuke shouted as the two of them entered through the front door and went straight towards the living room.

Everyone was having a discussion on what was the next step they should do regarding Tanis, but they abruptly stopped when they saw Medusa.

"Uhmm... Medusa-kun... Did you walk through the streets looking like that?" Hestia asked as she knew the effect she would have, not just on mortal men, but also Deities.

"W-wait! That's Medusa!?" As this was the first time she'd seen her like this, Artemis asked in surprise.

"Ah... Right... We forgot to tell you, but this is her real appearance... Though I can tell you that something else is different with you... What happened?" Hestia asked as she squinted her eyes at Medusa. She noticed that something is different about her.

But Kisuke just brushed it off by saying, "Nothing's wrong with her. She's just a lot healthier now."

Even though Hestia knew that there was something more to it, she chose to trust Kisuke and not ask any further questions, "Is that so? Then that's great! But considering her appearance, I can guess why it was so noisy outside."

Akeno then clapped her hands, gathering their attention, "Let's talk about this later. For now, let's go to the dining hall. Everything is already prepared."

That night, Medusa's existence would spread throughout the whole of Orario and after hearing about her features, some of the Adventurers would recognize her.

Within the Twilight Manor, everyone was just returning from guarding the Dungeon until they heard a commotion outside, "What's going on?" asked Finn as he thought that it might be related to the Dungeon.

Raul came back while making a strange face and reported, "The commotion was apparently about Kisuke Urahara having a new woman that could be compared to a Goddess of Beauty."

At this news, Riveria, who was also in the room, unconsciously frowned and Finn and Gareth instantly took note of this.

Finn decided to ignore this and asked Raul, "That's not everything, isn't it? You're making a strange face."

Raul nodded, "Yes. The problem lies in the description of the said woman. They say that she has purple hair reaching to knees and has gem-like purple eyes."

Finn, Riveria, and Gareth instantly understood what Raul was trying to say. Gareth faced Finn and asked, "Do you think she's the same person?"

"Since she's related to that man, then we can safely assume she is," Finn was still skeptical with Kisuke and co's real abilities as he hadn't seen them directly in battle. But it's a different story with Medusa as he'd already witnessed how she slaughtered monsters even faster than Ottar during the 'The Moon Incident'.

"I wonder why she revealed herself at this time," Finn muttered before facing Raul again and saying, "Gather more information regarding her, but don't go too deep."

"U-understood! I'll arrange it as soon as possible!"
