Chapter 745 Ophis’ Growth part 2
Kisuke carefully observed Ophis and Lilith using his plethora of senses and the others in the room were quiet so as not to disturb him and the Infinite Dragons.
In Kisuke's perspective, Ophis and Lilith, despite clearly unifying under the concept of 'Infinity', were still two different entities. Thanks to that, however, the communication device was still connected using them as a channel. They became connected regardless of the immeasurable distance and treacherous void in between.
Kisuke wanted to observe more but a voice came to his head, [I can't do this forever.], and he could only sigh after that.
Clapping his hands, Kisuke gathered everyone's attention, "I hate to break your reunion but I'll have to request the two of you to separate for now and I didn't mean just taking a distance from each other."
Lilith looked at Ophis, wanting to ask about him. Of course, she didn't have to say it out loud as Ophis understood her confusion. With a rare smile that exudes pride and gloating, Ophis introduced him, "My first friend, Kisuke, The Hat."
"Ohhh..." Lilith turned to Kisuke with interest before saying, "You shall be my friend too."
Kisuke chuckled as he approached them. When they came to his reach, his left hand patted Ophis' head while the right one went to Lilith's head, "I'm grateful to be your friend too, but let's save this for the next time when things are more convenient, alright?"
"...I'll see you again, new friend."
Kisuke nodded to Lilith before turning his head to Sakura, Cleria, and Masaomi, "Looks like the situation on your side was more complicated than I initially thought, but I'll hear it in two days. I have to first take care of the problems on this side."
"I understand. Be careful and I'd like to see everyone later~.", replied Sakura with a big smile while Cleria and Masaomi hurriedly said their goodbyes to Claire. A few seconds later, the communication device finally shut down and the hologram of everyone disappeared. At the same moment, the Dungeon returned to its usual activity.
As everything settled down, Kisuke sighed in relief, 'I doubt I could stop the connection between Ophis and Lilith so I have to find a way to camouflage that and make it look like I'm using a simple and direct method.'
Soon enough, a slightly tensed Serafall arrived first, "Ki-tan! What was that just now!? Are we compromised!?"
"Welcome back~ It was an oversight, but it ended without causing any further incident, so all are still fine." Kisuke then proceeded to narrate what happened when they are gone and asked Medusa to tell Yoruichi and the rest of the events of today since he needed to find a 'fix' to Ophis and Lilith's 'problem' and he would like to start doing it now so he could meet the two days deadline.

Two days later, Kisuke finally came out of his workshop with Ophis with a big smile over his face. After a whole day of testing different methods, he finally found a way to hide the Infinite Dragon's 'completion', "Just in time~" he muttered and stretched his arms.
He then looked towards Ophis and said, "Ophis-chan, please call the others to the living room. We'll open the communication lines again."
Ophis nodded and started walking ahead. But before she could go far, she turned back and asked, "Including Line?"
Kisuke was a bit surprised at her question and thought about it for a few seconds before nodding, "Please ask her to make her way too."
With Ophis' back turned to him, Kisuke couldn't help but smile while reminiscing the days that he first met her and truly understood her as a person, 'She's already come a long way from being oblivious of simple things. She can also finally remember names, but I wonder why she still calls me 'Hat' despite calling others by their names perfectly fine? Should I think of this as special treatment from her?'
Kisuke just shook his head and stopped thinking about it as he made his way to the core of the tower to add the necessary equipment of the modified communication line. Since there are some fragile and delicate parts that needed to be sophisticatedly handled, it took him about an hour to finish the job and it was only then that he decided to return to the living room where everyone was probably already waiting for him.
Upon arrival, everyone was already in the room, talking merrily to each other while having some snacks, "Kisuke-kun! You're finally back! I heard you'd be contacting your hometown today?" Hestia greeted and asked him excitedly.
"Yep. And since this is a good chance, I'll introduce Hestia-sama, Artemis-sama, and Line-chan to everyone on the other side."
"M-me too!?" exclaimed Line since she didn't expect that she'd be included in this closely knitted group even though she was also called to come here.
"Of course. You're my student, after all." Kisuke then approached her and passed candy to her, "But for starters, take this."
"T-thank you..." Line expressed her gratitude shyly but it also made her feel a lot better. Although she's friendly with everyone, she doesn't know if she should really be here since she's from the Loki Familia.
However, she suddenly realized something that heated up her face, 'W-wait... Does that mean I'm one of his women now!?'
While most of them were with Kisuke, she certainly forgot about Hestia, Artemis, and Serafall.
"What's wrong?" Kisuke asked when Line was deep in her thoughts.
Kisuke's bewildered voice woke Line up from her fantasies and hurriedly shook her head while waving her hand, "N-nothing! I'm was thinking of something stupid." In any case, it's really a stupid thought for her as she couldn't even be compared to the other girls around Kisuke, 'Not just in abilities, but also qualification.'
Seeing the candy being offered, Line received it after taking a deep breath and asked, "This is?"
"Just eat it and you'll know its effects later."
After giving her a confusing answer, Kisuke then moved towards Yoruichi and Akeno and gave them a different kind of candy each, "This is for Hestia-sama and Artemis-sama."
Yoruichi wanted to smack Kisuke's head for giving nonsensical explanations but before she could do so, Artemis, who heard his words, asked, "For us?"
"Yep~ You'll know its effect after they eat it and update their Status."
Yoruichi immediately understood what these candies are for but could only let out a short sigh, "Why do you have such extreme sides? It's either you'll explain how it works to no end, or you'll give an answer that doesn't provide any explanation..."
Kisuke thought about it and didn't deny it, "Well, I guess giving explanations to enemies is more fun?"
