Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 986 Loki’s Struggle part 3

Kisuke appeared again in front of the curious Loki Familia members and there was only one thought in his mind, '...How many times do I have to do this?'

Even though he could understand the reasoning behind it and it might as well be the last resort, it still doesn't change the fact that he has to do this for the third time now, 'I'm more interested in how Bell Cranel is faring. But considering how Hermes is attached to him, it'll only be annoying if I interfere directly.'

While Kisuke's mind was somewhere else, Riveria stepped up with him in front of the old members of the Loki Familia, "This is Kisuke Urahara... Aside from his name, I don't really know what else to tell you. Well... He's an unfortunate businessman?"

Kisuke was instantly brought back to reality when he heard that but just when he was about to react, he stopped when Riveria glared at him. Considering what his uncouth mouth did earlier, he let it go and looked in the opposite direction.

This little interaction, however, didn't go unnoticed and made everyone have a conclusion in their minds. Nevertheless, while most of them were happy for Riveria, it's not the same for some and they wouldn't accept him just because Riveria acknowledged him. Like children to their mother, Kisuke would still first have to win them over before he could become their 'step-father'.

"He and his family are the ones who took care of and taught me a lot of things these past few years. I know some of you are still suspicious of his identity, but as you've seen yesterday, he's someone that Loki trusts and he's also someone I could trust my life with..." However, while Riveria was saying shocking things for the Familia, she suddenly became quiet for a moment before taking her words back, "...On second thought, don't trust him or you might end up miserable. If you want something from him, make sure to go through me first."

At her 'joke' Finn started chuckling and stepped forward, "You don't have to be overprotective of him, Riveria. We won't treat him badly. Nice to meet you, I'm the captain of the Loki Familia, Finn Deimne. Thank you for taking care of Riveria." Finn offered his hand while introducing himself.

"She has been taking care of me too. Since I don't really cook my own dinner anymore, she has been a big help.", Kisuke accepted his hand with a smile, 'Well, and other stuff too like creating countermeasures against the known abilities of various big personalities.'

Of course, those who are already biased towards Kisuke immediately misunderstood those words, thinking that Riveria was reduced to a simple cook.

Her direct question caused Lefiya to shout, "Tiona-san! What are you saying!? It's obvious that they aren't married! A married Elf has this specially made jade bracelet and Riveria-sama isn't wearing one!"

Kisuke turned to Riveria and wanted to ask if that was true but he paused when he saw Riveria grin for a moment before making this expression as if she were a defeated maiden, "That's true. We're not married. And the talks of marriage couldn't really come up with so many women around him." All those telenovelas were for this moment, 'How was that? I can act too if I want to~!'

However, what she thought was a bit of shock and reprimanding from the girls' side turned into total silence, 'Hmmm? Did something go wrong?'

All of a sudden, a shift in the atmosphere was felt and the previous, warm welcome became a cold one with everyone staring at Kisuke with a bit of hostility. Something did go wrong because Riveria underestimated their reaction. What she didn't take into account was that Kisuke was her 'first man' and there was more importance in that than she realized.

"Uhhmmm... Riveria... Are you still angry about what I said earlier?", asked Kisuke while feeling the animosity.

Riveria immediately went in front of Kisuke to defend him and right her errors, "Wait! You're misunderstanding things!"

The previously cheerful Tiona stepped forward and asked, "What misunderstanding?"

"Uhmmm..." Riveria tried to answer, however, 'It's true that there are no marriage talks... And it's also true that there are many women around him...' She couldn't think of any excuses because none of what she said was a lie in the first place.

And that hesitation from her side was enough to make the girls snap.
