Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 727 Lysa part 2

The first one to speak up was Loki after listening to the Dragon cry out 'Aria' and 'Protect' repeatedly for a minute, "O-oi, Kisuke... Just what is that?"

"Hmm? A Dragon, obviously."

"I can see that!", Loki stood up and retorted, "But... just what!?" Even then, she didn't even know where to begin as there were so many points that needed to be cleared.

Kisuke chuckled at her and replied while stroking the head of the Dragon, "Let's take it slowly and ask away. I don't think it'll take a long time to answer your questions."

Loki sat down deflated, "So you won't explain everything from the start..."

Nodding, Kisuke answered, "That's right. You can ask any question regarding this little guy and I'll answer it."

Loki looked at him for several seconds without saying anything before sighing and turning to Finn, "Do it. You'll do a better job."

Finn knew that this was not true but still nodded at her, "Alright." He knew that Loki was giving him a chance to probe Kisuke without her interference.

But before asking anything, he first commanded, "Except for the executives, Lefiya, Raul, Aki, Alicia, Narvi, Cruz and Line, please leave for now. From here on out, topics that are incredibly important and need to be kept secret will be discussed. I hope you understand."

No one went against Finn's decision and saluted before leaving the room. Finn then faced Kisuke and said, "Although you called for everyone, I hope you don't mind this arrangement of mine."

Kisuke shook his head, "I don't mind. If this is what you want, I have nothing to say."

"Well then, first of all, is it safe?"

"In what context? Anyone and anything can become dangerous in certain situations."

"My bad. Let me change my question. Could it hurt people like us and will it do so?"

"Currently, it's not as strong as you lot, but if it's threatened, it would surely retaliate in defense. Since it's still a child, it doesn't have much control over its impulses, but it'd never hurt, or at least will never intend to hurt any bystander. But since it can understand words, it'll be easy to teach it."

Finn and the others were astonished, "It can understand words?"

"Yep~ And to demonstrate what I just said.", Kisuke then looked around and pointed at Bete, "Loga-san. Please use your scummy face and try to threaten it. But don't scare it too much, as you might get hurt."

Instantly after, Bete started scowling, "Huuh? Why do I have to do that? And you think this uselessly fat lizard could actually hurt me? I think-." But before he could finish his words, he had to shift his head to the right in a hurry to dodge a beam of light.

Bete looked back in horror and found a hole in the ceiling. If that beam of light hits him, he wouldn't be getting away from it with just a blasted eye. Slowly turning his head back, he saw the Dragon glaring at him while hiding behind Kisuke's arms.

Kisuke clapped at his performance and said with genuine admiration, "As expected of Loga-san~! Always exceeding expectations! You didn't just make it feel threatened, you also insulted it!"

"W-wha...!?" Bete then felt two hands landing on his shoulders. When he looked back, he saw the Hiryute sisters grinning and stifling their laughs, "I never thought Bete would be this cooperative.", teased Tione.

"And you did it with such vigor and enthusiasm. You've changed my opinion of you.", added Tiona.

Bete immediately shook off their hands with a bit of blush on his face, "Shut up! And hands off me!" Whether it was from embarrassment or rage was unknown.

Ignoring their ruckus, Kisuke went back to Finn while patting the Dragon's head to calm it down, "As you can see, it has power that could be dangerous if not regulated well. But since it can understand words, it'll be fine as long as you teach it when to use its abilities."

Finn nodded, "That's really surprising and impressive. But from your words just now, you intend for us to take care of it?"

Bete, Tiona and Tione finally quiet down when they heard Finn, "I would have kept it if I could, but as you've seen and heard, it has a connection with Wallenstein-san, and leaving it in her care should have been a wise decision."

Kisuke then looked towards Ais, "But it might have been too early." However, Kisuke noticed that Ais was not listening to anything they were talking about but instead, staring intently at the Dragon, 'Hmmm? This stare... What is it?... At least it's not that of hostility or anything similar.'

Everyone else recalled the scene earlier when Ais tried to kill the Dragon out of reflex, "But why did it not attack Ais back? Does it have something to do with her being the one who has to take care of it?", asked Finn immediately.

"Yes. It has something to do with this little one's origin. As you've probably guessed...", but Kisuke suddenly stopped speaking and looked in a certain direction.

Curious, everyone else also did the same and saw Ais sitting on the floor holding her arms out to the Dragon.

Conversely, the White Dragon had its reptilian eyes expanded as it saw her actions. It got very excited, but it also remembered the earlier scene and became scared. Not of being hurt, but being rejected once again.

The Dragon then looked up to Kisuke in hopes to find an answer on what to do next and it saw him just smile gently before giving it a pat on the back, "Go. It'll be fine this time."

The Dragon happily nodded and leaped out of Kisuke's arms once again and flew directly to Ais, [Aria!], it said along with a small roar of happiness that sounded more like a chirp.

And as Kisuke said, there were no accidents this time as the Dragon successfully and gently landed on Ais' wide open arms, [Aria!]

Ais didn't say any words as she tightly hugged the Dragon and closed her eyes to feel its warmth more clearly. In response, the Dragon also silently snuggled within her warmth as the two of them created a world of their own.

Everything that Ais just did was just following her instincts and she was not disappointed when she did so, because the moment she got ahold of the Dragon from who she thought she hated, it was as if a big piece of the puzzle within her heart was suddenly filled comfortably.

'What's this? What is this feeling?', asked Ais herself and after several moments, she finally found the answer to that question, 'Ah... It's the same as with mother.'

It was the warmth that she'd already forgotten. The warmth of being within her mother's arms. The warmth that she'd already lost and had been seeking all this time, but never having thought of actually finding it. She never thought that she'd find it in the most unexpected being of all. The same kind of being that she hated all her life.

Thanks to this encounter, it would grab Ais from her path of no return. For the first time ever, she was saved, not by a 'Hero', but by a 'Villain'.

Out of everyone in the room, it was Loki who found the biggest change in Ais and found it unbelievable. But seeing this also gave her a huge sense of relief. It was as if a large thorn that was in her heart, although not entirely disappearing, became incredibly small.

Loki then suddenly voiced out, "Kisuke... We won't ask any further questions if you tell us what exactly that Dragon is..."

"The suffering Spirits' last and only will. Is that enough?"

Loki nodded in satisfaction, "It's more than enough. Thank you."
