( Yuuki's POV )
When I defeated the hooded man I created an ice stake and nailed the guy to the wall, he was unconscious but the pain woke him up although he only let out a grunt of pain.
Yuuki: [Speak up, who are you working for?]
Hooded Man: Ugh, um, mm.
I used my [king's voice] to get information from the enemy but he responded with strange sounds, I opened his mouth with my hand and saw a strange seal on his tongue, probably another measure to prevent them from revealing information.
At that moment Yukikaze and Ryuu went up to where he was, the hooded body began to fill with red marks and Yukikaze screamed when she saw that.
Yukikaze: Yuuki be careful, he's going to explode.
These guys weren't playing around when it came to avoiding revealing information, so I dug my fingers into the hooded man's stomach and injected some of my energy into him, this destabilized the hooded man's energy and his self-destruction could not be activated.
Yuuki: Maybe you can't speak, but we have other ways of extracting information.
I was thinking of extracting the information directly from the head but at that moment I felt danger, moving quickly, I grabbed the two women and they were attacked by the hooded man. Then, some crossbow bolts were stuck in the place where the women used to be.
Without wasting time Yukikaze went out the window and followed the trajectory of the arrows that attacked us, inside the building I saw the hooded man I had captured, his body was riddled with arrows and he had lost his life.
//////////////////////
After the danger passed I used my magic to heal the two women, the red-haired woman was the goddess Hephaestus and the other was the captain of her family, her name was Tsubaki.
Yukikaze returned shortly after, the one she chased ended up exploding itself but she was able to recover another weapon from the enemy this time it was a crossbow and when we were all together we started talking.
Hephaestus: I appreciate your help. It's frustrating to say, but if it weren't for you, we'd be finished.
Yuuki: Don't mention it. This is our job.
Hephaestus: Do you know who attacked us?
Yuuki: We're still trying to determine that. I was hoping you could help us with that.
Hephaestus: I'm sorry, but I don't know who attacked us.
Yuuki: No, but I heard you're the best blacksmith around here. You can inspect the enemy's weapons and get a clue from that.
I showed Hephaestus the weapons we had collected and she looked at them with a frown, she immediately noticed that these were not common weapons.
Yuuki: These are power-stealing weapons, and some with strong effects, not something that anyone could create. You should know who has the ability to create something like this in this city.
Hephaestus: I see why you wanted our help, after what you did for us we can do this no problem.
Yuuki: Thank you, we are working with the guild, any information you provide can be passed on to them.
We were about to leave but then I thought about the possibility of Hephaestus being attacked again, the possibility was very low since I believe this attack required some preparation but it was better to prepare for that improbability, I snapped my fingers and Sif emerged from a magic circle on the ground.
Yuuki: In case they decide to attack you again, I'll leave a bodyguard with you.
*Woof*
The two women were surprised, but Hephaestus maintained a serious expression and kept her eyes on me.
Hephaestus: Who are you exactly?
Yuuki: no one important, just a traveler who doesn't want others to ruin the reputation of others like me.
With that we left the building and we walked home but at the same time I felt Ryuu's gaze piercing my back, And before we went our separate ways I stopped and turned to Ryuu.
Yuuki: ...Do you have something to ask? the answer to your question might be simple, but that's no reason to hang around wondering.
Ryuu: Who are you, Yuuki?
Yuuki: You didn't hear what I said before.
Ryuu: I'm being serious. I expect an honest answer from you.
Ryuu looked me straight in the eyes with a more serious expression than usual, and I could only yield to her unwavering seriousness.
Yuuki: I'm always serious. Would you believe me if I told you I wasn't born in this world?
Ryuu: Are you saying you're a god?
Yuuki: Well, there's some truth to that, but what I'm trying to say is that I come from another planet.
Ryuu stared, and she analyzed my words carefully.
Ryuu: If it was anyone else saying that I wouldn't believe it but coming from you it doesn't sound like a lie.
Yuuki: It isn't but it's also a long story, if you're curious about the full story you can come to our mansion tomorrow.
Ryuu: ...ok.
Ryuu gave me a short answer and then we went our separate ways home, upon arriving at the mansion the girls interrogated me about my spontaneous date with Yukikaze and they only let me go when they decided I would also take each of the girls on a date.
After that discussion I went up to my room and sent back to Babylon the hood I had obtained from the mysterious attacker, that was a garment with a peculiar nature so Vivi would be interested in that, after that I heard a knock on my door, it seems that one of the girls had planned a night visit.
