An Unexpected Response

Freya only stayed silent with Loki's accusation but she already figured that she was correct as this wasn't the first time that this happened, "Gah! Such a pain. So, basically, you got your eyes on a kid from another Familia? Who's the guy you've laid eyes on this time?"

Loki wanted to make sure that they weren't aiming for the same guy, 'It'll be really annoying if it's Kisuke. Although he's doing a great job hiding for now, he won't be able to do that for long.'

However, Freya maintained her silence.

"Out with it. You don't want any friction between us, do you?" Loki continued to push.

Freya really didn't want to answer, but she also knew that Loki had her eyes on someone and she didn't really want to go against her. But since it was just a normal Adventurer in other's eyes, Freya knew that they weren't looking at the same guy. And besides, that child was not Loki's type or the type she would become interested in, "...He's not that strong. Completely different from any of the children in our respective Familias. Easily upset by even simple things. He's the type to cry right away... That kind of child."

With an enamored expression, Freya continued, "But he's so beautiful and pure. I've never seen anyone with a color like him. So I couldn't help but fall for him."

"Hmm... Is that so? And you're not planning to do anything annoying, right?"

"..." Freya didn't answer her.

Loki was already sure she hadn't discovered Kisuke's existence and, instead of letting her discover him later and not know about it, Loki turned around and called out, "Oi~. Kisuke-kun! You've already seen me, why not greet me?"

Freya was surprised that Loki called out to someone else when this was supposed to be their secret meeting. Following her sights, Freya saw a human with pale-blonde hair and gray eyes wearing a standard attire for Adventurers, '...Isn't that Hestia's child? Could it be the child that Loki has her eyes on?'

Kisuke sighed, then stood up and approached the group while Yoruichi didn't do anything, not even turning her head as she slowly melded herself to the surroundings while Kisuke gathered the three's attention.

As he approached, Freya looked into his eyes while Kisuke also coincidentally met that gaze. Although he should be any other normal child with a normal polluted gray soul with some tint of other colors in it, something about him gave Freya a strange feeling which she couldn't distinguish. Furrowing her brows slightly, Freya thought, 'What's this...?'

Reaching their table, Kisuke nodded at them slightly before giving his greeting with his signature smile, "Good day to you, Loki-sama, Wallenstein-san, and... May I know the respected name of this Goddess?"

"Freya." Freya introduced herself simply, "And you are?"

"Ah, please pardon my rudeness. This one is Kisuke Urahara, the current Captain of the Hestia Familia. It's my pleasure to finally meet the very famous Goddess of Beauty, Freya-sama. I had heard that you were a great beauty and meeting you now, I can certainly say that those rumors are an understatement."

"Thank you." Freya smiled slightly at his words but didn't take it to heart as she already heard those words countless times. On the contrary, it gave her a slightly bad impression of him. However, something about him really bothered her, 'What is this feeling?'

Loki was able to pick up Freya's slight discomfort as she faced Kisuke. Although she didn't know why, she thought it was really a good idea to let them meet now, "Hey. Stop flattering her. She already heard that countless times."

Kisuke shook his head, "Even then, I think it's only right to give your compliments to a lady. Although, if I came out as someone undesirable, please do forgive me."

"No. I don't think that's the case at all." Freya refuted his words and changed the topic, "I see. So you're Hestia's child. Why did you call him over, Loki?"

"Eh? You're asking? You already know the reason!"

'So this is the guy she doesn't want me to get involved with? Although he's giving me a weird feeling, I don't see anything special about him.' Freya thought.

Guessing what was on her mind, Loki snickered at her and proceeded with her plan to bind Kisuke more to her, "Now then, Kisuke-kun. What do you think of Freya here~?"

'So it's really this question. After answering this, I won't have a choice but to cling to the Loki Familia to keep Freya Familia at bay.' Kisuke thought as he answered, "What do you mean by that, Loki-sama? Of course, I think Freya-sama is very beautiful."

"Is she attractive?" This follow-up question shocked Freya as that should be obvious while it only confused Ais who was listening to the side.

However, the moment he answered this question, Freya became even more shocked, "That's a given. She's very attractive~." A lie with a straight face that the two Goddesses didn't miss.

"You..." Freya wanted to say something yet she was at a loss for words. She didn't expect that a child from the Gekai would lie about her being attractive. But also thanks to this, she was able to figure out the weird feeling Kisuke was giving her, 'That is... annoyance? No... Nuisance?'

Either way, it was something that she only experienced a few times in her long life and never from a man at that, "...What... are you?"

And indeed, from Kisuke's perspective, Freya was a very beautiful woman and one of the most beautiful he had ever encountered, however, her charming aura kept prickling Kisuke and he found it annoying as those prickling sensations directly touched his soul. Although almost everyone would fall for that aura, for Kisuke and Yoruichi, as Captain level Shinigamis, it only served as a mild annoyance at best.

Even Loki was a bit shocked at his response as she thought Kisuke was just enduring the charming aura. She would never have thought that he would instead be repulsed by it. And before things got too serious, she immediately decided to retreat, "Alright, Freya. We have to go. We still have a few plans. See you around~."

She dragged the clueless Ais with her and signaled Kisuke to follow. Yoruichi also stood up from her seat and followed the group, leaving only the dumbfounded Freya, "What was that?"

However, soon after, her eyes caught the running figure of the child she had her eyes on. Although she wanted to understand what happened just now, her priority was testing the white-haired child as this was the reason she came down from her spot on the tower today, 'Kisuke Urahara... Interesting.'
