Leaving for Japan

The next morning, Cleria, Masaomi, and Claire are all packed up and is ready to go. Most of their luggage is in a separate space. Everyone is gathered in the living room and are doing their final preparations.

"Did you get everything?" Kisuke asks while he sets up the magic circle for the teleportation magic. The portable circle that he gave them is capable of doing the work just fine but those are designed for immediate escapes. Working on the magic circle himself will make it much more secure.

"We got everything we need and ready to go." Cleria replied after doing the final check.

Claire walked over to Kisuke's side and grabbed the hem of his clothes, "Kisuke-niichan, aren't you gonna go with us?" is wearing a white one-piece dress with a black backpack containing all of her toys.

Kisuke did the finishing touches on the circle and crouched down to match Claire's height, "Nii-chan still has to do something. But don't worry, it won't take long. We'll play when I get back." He patted her head and comforted her. He knew that she's feeling nervous because she's going to an unknown place and worried that she might not do well.

After enjoying the head pat, Claire nodded, albeit, reluctantly. She then went back to her mother and father's side.

"Now then. With this, I can teleport you any moment now, but before that, I just have a few reminders for you." Kisuke dusted his hands.

Cleria and Masaomi nodded and were ready to listen.

"First is that you should activate the bracelets that I gave you before going. Last night, I was able to improve a bit. The first improvement is appearance change. It'll change your hair and eye color along with some contour of your face." Kisuke explained.

"Didn't you already put that feature in it?"

"I changed it. I thought that using illusion magic will only attract the attention of those who are sensitive to Mana. What changed is that it'll directly shape the muscle on your faces, so even if someone noticed that you're using illusion magic to change the color of your hair and eyes, with a different face, they wouldn't be able to connect you with anyone."

Masaomi touched his chin and muttered, "Indeed... If someone thought that we used illusion to change our hair and eye color and saw that there are no illusion over our face, they would think that we didn't change our face at all." This is the most convenient scenario but not the only possibility. Nevertheless, it's more effective than just using illusion magic all over.

"That's the idea. But it'll feel uncomfortable for a few hours so you need to activate it now to get used to it."

Cleria and Masaomi easily activate their bracelets and their appearance was changed slightly but in a clever way. Even with small changes, someone who knew them wouldn't easily spot them.

Cleria's silver-gray hair became black along with her eyes, while Masaomi's hair became brown along with his eyes.

Claire took some time to activate it, but due to Kisuke simplifying it as much as possible, it's possible for someone who can only emit their own Mana or Demonic Power to activate it. And like Cleira's change, her eyes and hair became black.

Cleria and Masaomi noticed something when they activated the magic equipment, "This is...?"

"The second change. I removed the Mana storage entirely. I was able to improve the Mana efficiency so instead of rechargeable power source, it now works entirely only with the excess Mana you're emitting. Another reason why I chose to do this is that it'll help to reduce the Mana you're unconsciously emitting and you'll only look like a normal human with that. There is a disadvantage doing this, of course. It'll reduce your natural Mana regeneration speed. And if your Mana levels are in critical, it'll stop working to prioritize regeneration."

"...You just did all of that in one night?"

"Well, I can improve it in that time frame, so why not?"

"You're more unbelievable than I thought..."

"Moving on, I'm teleporting you outside of Kuoh Town for obvious reasons. Here's a map. Written there is your teleportation location and my house's address. You can take a bus after reaching the highway." Kisuke then handed over a piece of paper to Cleria.

Cleria received and memorized it before burning it with magic, "We're staying at your place?"

"Not exactly. You're going to stay in my shop on the opposite road. But you have to go to my house first as there would be a guide and helper for you there. I hired a temporary maid, you see, so she'll help you out with unpacking things." Kisuke then handed over a sealed letter. Inside it is the letter itself and some photos of Akeno's blunder while doing housework that he took remotely with magic, 'I wonder what will be her reaction. I can't wait for it~.'

Kisuke is making a nasty smile so Cleria felt a bit nervous as she took the letter from him. Seeing that nothing happened to her, she pitied the receiver, 'Poor maid...'

"And lastly, here. You can contact me through here." Kisuke took out a brass token which is smaller than the palm and gave it to Cleria.

"Why not just use magic?"

"That's more secure and it actually uses telepathy so there will be no sounds emitted. You can also reply through telepathy."

"That's indeed better. Though we'll have to carry this around, we can communicate secretly if there is an emergency." Cleria nodded and secured it inside her pocket.

"With that, you can go~." Kisuke then activated the teleportation circle and within a few seconds, they will be teleported away to start their new life.

"Thank you everything you've done. Looks like my family gained another debt from you." Masaomi bowed down towards Kisuke.

Kisuke, not a typical good guy, replied, "Then I expect full payment later~."

"Hahaha. That's better!"

"Miss Ana... Take care of yourself too." Cleria faced Medusa who is silently watching all of this happen.

Medusa bowed down, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I'll never forget this kindness." She feeling sad because this is probably the last time she would see them.

"You should thank Kisuke-kun as we are just passing the kindness he bestowed us..." After Cleria spoke, they disappeared along with the magic circle.

They stayed silent until the last motes of lights disappeared.

"Now then..." Kisuke faced Medusa, still blankly staring at where the family of three disappeared, "Yoruichi and I will be in our room and won't get out as we have a lot of things to do. Go enjoy yourself outside."

After saying that Yoruichi dragged Kisuke towards their room and locking it within a barrier.

Medusa stood on her place silently for a few minutes before going to the side of the house to take out her beloved granny bicycle. She felt strangely lonely when she was left alone just like that, 'I should enjoy my remaining time as much as possible.
