"... ... ...Eh?" Hestia's mind stopped working.

"Oi~. Hestia-sama? Are you still there?" Kisuke waved his hand in front of her blank eyes.

Hestia woke up from that but she attributed what she heard and saw earlier as hallucinations. However, when she rubbed her eyes and looked at Kuroka's three tails and Koneko's two tails, "Why did you attach more tails?"

"They're real, nya~!" Kuroka swayed her three tails and Koneko did the same.

"Although they're similar to the cat people, they're fundamentally different. That's all I can say."

"Ugh..." Hestia held her aching head and choose not to think much about it and moved to the next one, "I heard you called her a spirit earlier, but all of the spirits already disappeared for unknown reasons since ancient times. Besides, spirits should have distinct aura different from everyone!"

Without a word, Medusa then released the aura she's hiding and the Mana in her surroundings became heavier.

"W-What!? Is she really a spirit!? Wait... Although they're rare, it not something to be shocked about. Dammit, I reacted before I can even process what I heard."

Kisuke didn't mind Hestia's reaction and continued, "Well, not exactly, but something similar."

"...Ugh!" Hestia held her head again and choose not to think about it for now and also moving to the last one, "She's a Devil? What's a Devil?"

Kisuke rubbed his chin and thought for a bit, "Hmmm... Let's see... Also similar to the spirits, however, they have flesh and blood."

"...Right... I don't understand!" Hestia gave up.

"In other words, they're spirits that can procreate with other races," Kisuke explained further.

"That's more ridiculous than normal spirits then!!!" Hestia wanted to hit her head on the table but she hates pain. But then, she pumped her fist, "Yosh! I got the right reaction!"

'What a weird person...' Everyone thought.

"With our introductions done, please take care of us~."

Hestia wanted to cry. She did tell them that secrets can make her happy, but only if limited to things that can be explained. She got way more than what she bargained for.

"Gah!!! Dammit! Fine! Let's get this over with! Line up! I'll give you my Falna!!!" Hestia gave up entirely, but deep inside her, unprecedented excite rose and heat up her body. Despite getting more what she asked for, she looking forward to the future and what sort of story can these children bring her.

"Wait, before that." Kisuke stopped the excited Hestia and looked towards Kuroka and Koneko, "Let's remove that thing inside you first."

The next morning arrived and Kisuke came out of the laboratory he built in the western part of the underground base along with Kuroka and Koneko who both have a noticeably weaker aura but a relieved expression.

Last night, Kisuke removed the Evil Pieces in their body and restored their original body. Although they got weaker, they felt light as the restrictive feeling that they don't even know suddenly disappeared. It's as if they're breathing heavily polluted air and then suddenly teleporting to place with clean air. The difference is very big.

Koneko has some hesitation as she will be essentially betraying Rias but Kisuke reminded her that due to the nature of the technique she's using, it'll only hold her back if they don't remove it sooner. So after some careful thinking, she agreed to Kisuke proposition.

"Good morning~." The rest are already having their breakfast when they arrived.

"Good morning~." With the rest greeting them, Medusa prepared another three sets of food for the newcomers.

"What did you? And seems to be different today." Hestia asked as she looks towards the two Nekomatas.

Kisuke sat down on the table and started eating the food served to him, "I just released them from their shackles."

"Hmmm... Well, I won't ask further. Although I already accepted your strangeness, I still can't take multiple surprises so please let me rest for a bit before dropping another bomb." Hestia resumed eating the hearty breakfast that she didn't have for a while. And then remembering something, she asked, "By the way, I could have given my Falna to others first. Why didn't you allow? Are you minding about the order of granting? You don't have to worry about that as all Falna is just the same."

"Nope. Not that. I just don't want to have an accident."

Hestia froze as a bad premonition struck her after hearing Kisuke's words, "Not letting me rest, huh..."

After their breakfast, everyone gathered in the center of the base. On it is a large magic circle written on the ground for the purpose of energy containment but will still allow the outside force to affect what's inside. In the middle of that magic circle is a large bed where Hestia will give her Falna to everyone. Kisuke already knew the process due to his prior investigation and put that bed.

Undressing his top, Kisuke laid down on her chest and Hestia proceeded to sit on his back.

Seeing this, Aika immediately took out her smartphone which is still with her to check the time and finally found a good use for it. Opening the camera app, she took a photo of both Hestia and Kisuke, "Kisuke getting a massage from a Loli-Big-boobs." She muttered softly. But everyone beside Hestia heard her.

Kisuke's mouth twitched when she heard him and her camera clicking but didn't speak up as he needed to focus the gamble he's making as he isn't completely sure if he can really accept the Goddess' blessing.

Hestia removed the glove on her right hand and pricked her index with a needle to let her blood out. She then started writing something on his back and a soft light emerged from it.

While she's doing this, Kisuke is focusing on the thing she's writing and the movements of energy in his surroundings. A few seconds later, he suddenly felt spiritual energy coming from above and connected to Hestia and then to Kisuke. Just as the spiritual energy made contact with Kisuke's own Reiatsu-Ki, it became extremely volatile and both of them weren't able to react.

When the two energy clashed, a small shockwave knocked Hestia, "Wha--!"

However, Yoruichi was able to get behind her and successfully caught her, "Are you okay, Hestia-sama?"

Hestia immediately nodded, "I'm okay! What about Kisuke-kun!?" She didn't expect that her Falna will suddenly react that way and is worried that she might have hurt Kisuke.

"He's fine," Yoruichi reassured her and helped her stand up.

Kisuke also stood up and instead of talking with others, he started rubbing his chin and entered a deep contemplation. Hestia heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that, "What happened? Why did my Falna reject him?" She asked, but nobody could answer her question. But it seems that Kisuke is thinking of something and decided to stay quiet for now and wait for him.

Kisuke stayed quiet for the whole ten minutes before sighing and looking towards Hestia, "Hestia-sama, I'm sorry for what happened earlier, but could you try giving me your Falna again?"

"I'm fine with that... But are you alright?"

"Yep. I'm pretty sturdy so you don't have to worry. However, you may have to try it multiple times before we could succeed."
