Entry (Kisuke's Thoughts)

Going back in time before they enter the isolated space, Kisuke checked and revised the plans in his head. He started simulating different scenarios inside his mind and kept thinking of the easiest 'solution' of each of them. By laying down the foundation that is the stink bombs he sent earlier, he formulated multiple plans to respond to a variety of things that could happen.

'The first thing I need to make sure is to reduce the number of watching eyes... If possible just to a single one... After that, trapping that guy and force him or her to make a deal with me.' For this goal, Kisuke started thinking of ways to achieve this and plotted his actions to enter some scenarios he wanted.

'But the easiest way is still letting them do what they want... It seems that they are obsessed with 'Ana' and I want to know their reason first before making a final decision. For now, I'll stick to my first plan of watching and controlling some things in the background.' Waiting for a few minutes more, they entered the isolated space which isn't that big. Just enough to fit this whole colosseum with some free space at the side.

Kisuke's mind started running at full capacity after taking in the information he got from his senses the moment he stepped in this place.

Even though Kisuke can probably finish all he needs to do by just using brute force, it'll leave a lot of loose ends which could tie him up later in the future. Despite his overwhelmingly strong abilities, he didn't want to underestimate his opponents because he could never tell what they can actually do as he doesn't know all and every ability that exists in this plane. And most importantly, using just muscles isn't his style.

Kisuke first notice the statue of the owl on the stone table, 'Hmm? A gaze coming from it? And multiple intents... That should be where those guys behind this are watching.'

Taking care not to let it notice his intent, he transferred his focus on the surrounding space, 'The space closed after we entered? Can I use Descorrer (Loosed Void)?' Kisuke swayed his left hand in front of his mask and put his right hand on his back, "Nice to me-... Damn! Who the hell just farted!? And this smell? Whoever you are, a suggest you go see a doctor! You're probably constipated for a few years now! Or maybe this is how you welcome your guests? Is this a cultural thing? Quite unique... and smelly if I were to word it nicely." While saying this, he stretched his forefinger and a fourth of an inch black opening in the space appeared, but Kisuke immediately dispelled it before it can drill a hole through the Dimensional Gap, 'Good, One escape route acquired.'

"You bastard!!!" A guy with a rapier shouted at him.

With a smile, though it can't be seen behind his mask, he said, "So you're the constipated guy. You can die from that you know~."

Successfully provoking him, Kisuke was about to intercept when Medusa arrived and did it for him. He didn't think much of her actions as he needed to focus on other things for now. Ignoring their fight, Kisuke inspected the magic circle that didn't disappear even after closing the whole space. Taking a quick glance at it, he instantly burned it to his memory and looked forward. Kisuke then started calculating where the magic circle leads and found that it goes to a random point in the Dimensional Gap. To any normal person, stepping on this magic circle will spell doom, 'We can't use this as escape route with her friend over there... Should I tell her?'

"You dare insult me, Medusa!? Fine! Before you disappear in motes of Mana, I'll let my subordinates do whatever they want with your headless body!"

These words caught Kisuke attention, 'Hooh? Considering her artificial body, she's the real Medusa from the legends?' Kisuke already has a few guesses regarding her identity, but he's a bit surprised that it's Medusa who should have died countless years ago, 'So those two souls are really Stheno and Euryale? Great, now I just have to know their true goal... Or maybe Athena's true goal. From Cleria's account on records, the three sisters manifested and became goddesses due to human beliefs, I wonder how are they different from the Olympian Gods? Or maybe they're the same? Hahaha, more mystery to uncover. Just like what I wanted! This trip is really fruitful! I can get information on the physiology of gods plus a maid!'

If Medusa were to know what Kisuke is thinking right now, she would have laughed at herself for worrying needlessly, constantly burdening herself of what would happen if he were to know her real identity. The right answer is 'he couldn't care less'.

Ignoring them again, Kisuke transferred his attention to the people inside. He first looked at the girl they are supposed to save. He confirmed that she's really unconscious but she's not giving Kisuke any good feeling. Increasing his vigilance against her, Kisuke looked at the others. The guy with a rapier is an idiot. It very clear that he's planning something. Being knocked out on their first exchange Kisuke judged that he should put a bit of attention to him in case he drew out something nasty.

Next is the guy with a whip. Kisuke can tell that he's suspicious at what is currently happening and frowned, 'That guy should have a pretty high position but he's also suspicious? Of what?' Noting his hidden expression, Kisuke looked at the next guy who stopped Medusa from approaching Ana.

'Now this guy's demeanor also doesn't match his actions... It feels like he's just following a script. Hehehe... Interesting... I wonder how will this story unfold~.'

Lastly, he looked at the last of the supposedly current generation, 'Heeh... This girl is concerned about Medusa? But why isn't she doing anything? Is she waiting for something?'

Kisuke also noted some of the notable characters, including the two leaders of each of their respective houses and the figure in a black cloak. Everything is unclear, but he intends to watch the proceeding from the sidelines and started to look for a chance to retire. He doesn't like being watched after all.

After the Chimera appeared, Kisuke wanted to dissect it very much as he wanted to know how its neural network works but stopped himself as this isn't the time yet, 'I should capture one later... It seems that there's a lot of those at the back.'

Kisuke grabbed Medusa's shoulder and said, "You don't have to meet it alone~. I'm going to help~." Internally though, he's thinking how to play with it.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome~." Kisuke then took out a katana. It's Benihime but he let her took the form from when he was still an active Captain of the Gotei 13 instead of a cane, "Though if things got too dangerous, I'm going to escape by myself, okay?"

"That's fine... That's what I hope for you to do..." Medusa nodded and agreed with his words.

Kisuke noticed her lonely look but didn't say anything about it as he won't truly abandon her. Because he already decided to help her, he wants to see through it until the end.
