Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 966 The Value of Time

"Hey, I just asked you a real question and now you're just assuming things."

Aika glared at him and said, "Am I?"

Kisuke raised his arms in surrender, "No matter how big my guts are, I won't be going there myself. I'm reckless, but not that reckless."

Aika gave him a doubtful expression. She knew he wouldn't lie, but that doesn't mean he'd tell the truth either. But even after thinking about it, she couldn't figure out what he was planning and there would be no way to pry the truth from him if he really wanted to keep it. Sighing, Aika gave up, "If you're going to do something reckless, at least let me in on it."

"If I get a chance, I will." Kisuke then found a chair and sat on it, "But you guys are also busy with your own things and they're important stuff that's allowing me to move around freely.", he added after seeing her pout, "So stop thinking that you're not helping me. I can only do the things I do now because of you guys. Thank you."

Aika suddenly felt strangely embarrassed when she received his gratitude and immediately turned around, "O-oh... Is that so? It's reassuring to know that we're making a difference. By the way, why are you here?"

"Akeno asked me to get you out to attend Ex's first birthday."

Aika turned to him again with a stunned expression, "Already?"

"Yep. I'm surprised too. Time really goes by in the blink of an eye. I'm used to it though. Once you've stopped thinking about the time you lived as a normal Human, you'll also stop thinking about the time you have to spend on something unless you urgently need it."

Aika stared at him for a moment before returning to her work, "That sounds reassuring but also horrifying at the same time. Long life is good, but it also looks like it devalues time too much."

At this point, everyone very close to Kisuke had already figured out that he and Yoruichi might have been older than they look. A lot older, in fact. However, none of them pointed that out as it didn't really seem very important, and if they wanted to hide it, then there really was no need to confirm it. What's important is that they knew Kisuke and Yoruichi as they were and not their history.

To some extent, Kisuke's cautiousness rubbed off on the girls, and right now, they were too insecure to have any children of their own.

Reaching the ground floor once again, Kisuke sighed, 'Oh well, what's going to happen is going to happen. I already spent my whole life's luck just meeting them.'

As he stepped out of the building, he looked up to the sun with a serious expression, '...Finally, I'll be able to go through it. I should stay there for a while to actually prepare myself. But before that, I should do that... Thanks to these Evies, I should be able to fool Chaos. I hope that it works.'

Aika told him not to be reckless, but as long as he doesn't go himself... Or at least not all of him, it should be fine.

With a new goal in mind, Kisuke made his way toward the Mars base once again.

A week later, Aika and Kisuke arrived elbow to elbow at the Gremory Mansion. But instead of taking the front gate, they walked around to the side and were greeted by a maid, "Kisuke-sama, Aika-sama, we've been expecting you. Thank you for coming."

The maid led them to the inner parts of the mansion and although they just arrived, the maids were already busy cleaning up since the main program had already ended and people were already going home.

Kisuke and Aika choose to come this time to avoid trouble with the other guests.
