"Leave Orario, you say?" Ouranos repeated Kisuke's words as he contemplated the effects that would cause to the entire city and the Dungeon itself.
Kisuke chuckled seeing him think so hard about it, "Do you really even have to consider this? Just a heads up. I don't need your permission to do that. I just wanted you to send us somewhere officially so that those people eyeing my girls won't make a fuss and actually try to follow us."
Kisuke then put Filvis back in her sack before continuing, "And you wouldn't actually want an unknown variable like me to leave this place, would you? You must have heard of the strangeness and mysteries surrounding our Familia and me in particular."
Ouranos sighed, "I would actually want to keep an eye on an unknown variable like you instead of sending you away. But you're right. I can't stop you. No one in this city can."
Ouranos then turned to Fels and said, "Fels, prepare an order that would send them to the Dizara Region for investigation. If this is not done right, Gods would chase after them with the reason that he's leaving with the technology that he'd pledged to give to Orario."
Fels recalled a certain project that has been in development now and muttered, "The iron carriage and iron horse, huh. Understood. I'll see to it that everything is processed correctly and secretly so that others won't have any time to react."
"Wait," Ouranos stopped Fels from leaving and turned his head back to Kisuke, "Before you go, let's hear the last thing he has to say."
Fels became confused, 'The last thing? Didn't he say that he only wanted two things?'
Knowing his confusion, Ouranos explained, "He indeed wanted two things arranged for him, but there's one thing he still has to inform us. You wouldn't mind it, right? Showing what's under your attire."
Before answering, Kisuke patted the big bulge on his belly and it started squirming around. The head of the small white Dragon peeked out which startled both Ouranos and Fels greatly.
"K-Kisuke Urahara! T-that is...!" Fels couldn't find the right words.
Both Ouranos and Fels were curious about what he was hiding under his clothing, but they didn't expect it to be a very tamed monster and it seemed to be a very intelligent one. However, they were once again speechless when they heard the voice of a child inside their head, [Aria?]
Ouranos' Divine Power immediately strengthened and covered a wider range, albeit, only Kisuke noticed this sudden change. However, he pretended not to notice it and said, "This is the Nidhogg that Dionysus was rearing within Knossos, well... formerly, at least."
Fels wanted to say something but Ouranos raised his hand to stop him, "So you didn't kill that monster. But you claimed it to be the Nidhogg, however, it looks very different... For one, it looks like a Spirit to me."
Fels shuddered at Ouranos' words but Kisuke only chuckled to it, "Spirit, is it? Will the other Deities see the same?"
Ouranos shook his head, "I can only do so because I'm directly connected to both Heaven and the Dungeon."
"That's very reassuring. But I won't say anything about this little guy aside from I'm planning to give it to Wallenstein-san. You can make your own inferences after the fact."
And as if speaking along with him, the little Dragon also opened its mouth while sending out telepathic signals, [Protect! Aria!]
Ouranos stared at the Dragon for a short while but couldn't find any of the Demi-Spirits' 'malice' in it, "Please at least answer one thing. What makes it different from those desecrated Spirits?"
"This kid is the last wish of those Spirits. Isn't that enough?"
Ouranos nodded, "That's plenty."
Ouranos thought that Kisuke would already be leaving since he'd already gotten everything he needed, but instead, Ouranos was asked a question he was not expecting, "Since I've answered your question, could you tell me if you have any idea who did this?"
Ouranos thought for a while and decided that he wouldn't pretend to not know what he's talking about. In any case, Fels who had been listening in on the side wouldn't understand any of what they were talking about, "Many have already perished through eons due to many different reasons so it's almost impossible to single one out. But that doesn't mean I've stopped my efforts to search for the culprit. Nevertheless, I also don't know if they still exist today and just left their disgusting legacy behind."
Hearing this, Kisuke grinned, "What a shame~! But I can assure you that he or she still exists today. After all, without manually controlling the focal point where the Demi-Spirits return, it would be impossible to maintain the system they've built."
Ouranos' eyes widened, "...What!? But how?"
It was then that the realization hit him, "I see... That's where Filvis Challia comes in."
Kisuke nodded, "That's right~ But that's all I can guarantee."
Ouranos' outlook of Kisuke changed yet again, "You really are an unknown variable... And a much more dangerous one than I initially expected."
It was then that Ouranos' Divine Power subtly changed shape, "Are you an enemy or an ally?" His voice contained authority pressed on the surroundings.
While Fels immediately knelt down in fear and reverence, Filvis started shaking from fear, and the little Dragon hid behind his back, Kisuke however wasn't fazed and his smile didn't recede, "Ouranos-sama, isn't it too early to tell that? And whether we're enemies or allies, intentionally revealing our motives this early won't do us any good and would just benefit any third parties if by any chance we're on opposite teams."
"And determining we're on the same side would be a blessing for us, no?"
"But isn't the probability of me being in the grey area instead of your black and white side much higher than anything else? Revealing that would only do me harm."
The two of them stared at each other for a while but Ouranos soon sighed and took back his oppressive aura. Without any warning, Ouranos sent a telepathic message to Kisuke, [An otherworlder, aren't you?]
Kisuke was still not fazed, [Otherworlder? What a convenient excuse~!]
In the end, Ouranos failed to ascertain anything useful regarding Kisuke aside from him being able to stand tall under his pressure.
However, the suspicion of him and possibly the others around him being otherworlders won't leave his mind anymore, 'Only those who're watching outside could have a wider view like this.'
Kisuke said his goodbyes and was about to leave but Ouranos stopped him and said, "If you come across Zeus in Dizara, tell him that there's hope."
