Deciding for the next Hairstyle

A few hundred meters away from the Temple of Aphia, Kisuke is seen happily walking and whistling towards the temple and Medusa following behind him in a maid uniform with a gloomy expression.

"Uhmm... Won't you change your mind?" Medusa asks from behind.

"Nope~. I'm not gonna miss this fun." Without turning back, he answered.

"It's not going to be fun! It's dangerous enough that you can easily lose your life!" Medusa grabbed his hand to stop him from walking.

"We already talked about this. I said I have a way to escape unscathed and I wouldn't hesitate to leave you behind if my life is in danger. I'm not that kind after all~. I'll still prioritize my life before yours."

Medusa felt a bit sad from the way he worded it, but also felt relieved that he's not the 'hero of justice' type of person, 'Just why did Yoruichi-san have to go back in Japan without taking him with her? If it's her, she'll be able to change his mind.'

Kisuke convinced Medusa by showing off his Flash Step numerous times that she got dizzy just from looking at him.

Kisuke looked at the black-haired beauty with purple-colored eyes in front of him and contemplated for a bit. Even though the disguise didn't affect her beauty, Kisuke felt that her hair and eyes are incredibly mismatched when he looks at her, especially when he knew of her real hair color, "Hmm... Since you're going to the enemy lair, you don't need that disguise anymore. You can take off the pendant now."

Thinking about it, she doesn't really need the pendant anymore, but somewhere inside her, she didn't want to separate from it, "... Could you just remove its effects?" Covering the place where the pendant is with her hand, she unintentionally used puppy eyes on him.

'Damn that's cute!' Kisuke internally thought without showing it on his face, "I could do that. Let me see the pendant."

Taking it out, she held the purple-jeweled pendant in front of her, "...Please."

With a touch of his finger, Kisuke instantly removed the initiating command on the formation placed on it. Her original appearance returned with her aura. Since her spell isn't suppressing everything around her eyes any longer, a bit of divinity also started to radiate from her.

The formation of the pendant didn't just cover her aura and Mana signature but also has effects of turning away people from her if a certain number of them is around her. So when her disguise was removed, all the people's attention was gathered to her. In addition to her aura and a bit of divinity, she appeared very regal and elegant in front of normal people.

"What? Why didn't I notice someone like her beside me!?" A man near them muttered in shock and confusion as it is impossible to miss Medusa in her original appearance in the crowd.

A similar muttering was heard all over the place and people started gathering around her and Kisuke due to curiosity and awe, "Hey...Is that a celebrity? Why can't I remember someone like her?"

"I'm pretty sure she isn't. I'm sure that there isn't any celebrity with long purple hair and eyes anywhere. And someone as beautiful as her would be a worldwide sensation... But why is she wearing a maid uniform?"

"Isn't it obvious!? It's because of the man beside her! Look at how close they are! If he's not her master, then they are probably a couple with weird fetish!" The words from this guy spread around and instantly, Kisuke drew the ire of all single men, some of the men in a relationship and a handful of ladies.

If it's the normal Kisuke, he would show the smuggest smile he could ever have but he can't do it due to a black cat with golden eyes perched on a tree not from them happily sharpening her claws while glancing at Kisuke from time to time which gives him a chill on his back.

Medusa, on the other hand, felt very uncomfortable with all the attention she is gathering due to most of it being lustful and unconsciously grabbed Kisuke's hand for comfort.

This action of her, however, only put Kisuke in a more precarious situation, 'Ah... I have to protect my cool shaggy hair from the incoming storm of bladed claws later.'

Kisuke hurriedly cast magic to turn away all normal people and after that, there is a handful left. All of those are from the Perseus Clan which are staring at them with killing intent and lust. Most of them targeted Medusa. Revealing her true appearance was only a pleasant surprise for them and started thinking of a way to somehow convince their masters to spare her life for a day or two.

Medusa's expression instantly turned cold after guessing their identity and was about to take out her weapons to deal with them but was stopped by Kisuke, "Not now. They aren't going to attack without instruction from their master anyway. Ignore them and let's walk straight to the temple."

"We're going straight? Without even sneaking? We're going through the front door?" Medusa almost staggered hearing his words.

Kisuke chuckled, "It's not like we have any other choice anyway. The moment I removed your disguise they already locked down your position."

"...I'm sorry..."

"Don't beat yourself to it. It isn't your fault. There is only one entrance and most of these guys are already inside, so it's useless to hide. Let's just go with a bang~." Kisuke reviews inside his mind what's currently in his inventory that he can use.

Looking at him with suspicion, Medusa asks,"... What are you planning?"

"Nothing much~. I first need to see the entrance before deciding."

Ignoring the hostilities around them, Kisuke suddenly snapped his finger and a black cube covered both of them. The hostile forces were alerted and took out their weapons.

A few seconds later, the cube disappeared. Medusa is still the same, wearing a pair of glasses and a maid uniform, but the man beside her suddenly changed. Instead of a man with black hair and civilian clothes earlier, what appeared is a man with a white bone mask with green markings. His attire also changed into a black suit and his hair turned light blond, tied in a pigtail. But what caught their attention the most is his eyes. Black sclera with glowing green pupils.

As they are wondering whether the man beside their target suddenly changed or not, A wave of malevolent aura came from him engulfing all of them. Fear instantly took over their hearts and they all knelt down not capable of even looking at his eyes.

Even Medusa felt a bit fearful, but aside from that, a sense of security suddenly bloomed in her.

Gathering back his pressure, Kisuke urges Medusa to walk along, "These pests won't bother us~. Let's go~!"

Medusa was taken aback for a bit due to the difference in his demeanor and aura, but smiled after hearing his words, "Umm."

Whether they noticed it or not is unknown, but ever since Medusa grabbed Kisuke's hand, they didn't let go of each other.

'Hohoho... What hairstyle should I go for? Bald in one spot? Or Two spots? Mohawk? Maybe I should draw something funny...' The black cat watching from the distance thought while sharpening her claws.
