Playing With Other Supernaturals Volume 3 119 -An Inspection

Volume 3 Chapter 119 – An Inspection

The medical ward is in total silence even after Tiamat retrieved Riser and Yoruichi left. When the big screen finally disappeared, so was the silence, “…That’s a human?” Someone from Riser’s camp muttered sparking a lively discussion.

“Are humans that strong these days?”

“Impossible! If that’s the case, the warmonger humans would have already invaded some realms!”

“Did she sign-up a contract with a High-Ranking Devil? I can’t think of any other way for her to use that much power. Think about it, she didn’t use any Sacred Gear!”

“Now that you mentioned it, she only used that weird skill that Rias-sama’s Rook displayed and some weird magic that can generate that much lightning. A magic circle didn’t even appear. What was that again? Shunko?”

“Can someone tell which system of magic was that derived from?”

They looked at each other and Rias suddenly remembered that Akeno joined Koneko in her training and might know something, “Akeno, do you know what system it uses?”

Akeno thought for a while and shook her head, “But I do know Urahara and Yoruichi calls their spells.”

Everyone stared at Akeno and waited for her to finish, “They call it Kidou (Demon Arts).”

“Demon Arts? So it’s really related to Demonic Power?”

“No… As far I can tell, it’s not. They do not use Demonic Power.” Akeno wanted to say more, but she knew it was the limit of the contract placed on her so she stopped speaking.

Rias kept asking questions and Akeno finally told Rias that she’s under a contract same us Sona and Koneko and she can’t afford to break it now.

Rias gritted her teeth in frustration. She never felt so weak before. She wanted to return to the Human realm and look for Kisuke to see Koneko’s condition. But even though she didn’t like it, she can only trust Kisuke and this unknown lady to take care of her in the meantime since she would have to get busy so the higher-ups wouldn’t punish Koneko for what just happened.

The discussion about Yoruichi kept ongoing. She even has some fans from Riser’s servants. But it was until Yuuto noticed something strange that such discussions halted. Yuuto saw that Asia is preparing tea but he didn’t know who is it for since no one would have an appetite for tea with the current state of affairs.

“Asia-san, For whom is that tea?” Yuuto asks her with a smile since he thought that she’s preparing it for Rias.

“This? For Kisuke-san. He’s helping me inspect Issei-san.” Asia answered like it was a matter of fact.

Since there are only about 20 people inside the ward, and everyone is trying to lower their voice for others to rest, they all heard Asia’s words clearly.

Everyone stopped talking and looked at the direction of Issei’s bed where he is sleeping peacefully. The bed is in between Akeno’s and Yuuto’s bed and they are now questioning their entire worth as they didn’t notice Kisuke standing on the top of Issei’s bed staring down on him while rubbing his chin seemingly in deep contemplation.

Nobody was able to react at this ridiculous sight. Asia approach Kisuke with a cup of tea on hand and offered it to Kisuke, “How is he, Kisuke-san?”

“Oh, how thoughtful of you. Thank you.” Kisuke didn’t mind the stares he is getting and jumped down from the bed. He accepted Asia’s offer and took a sip before continuing, “Hmm… Let’s see… All the damage he received is superficial for a Devil like him and with your healing, his body should be fine, but his mind took a toll and would need some time to rest. He’ll probably wake up around evening. So you don’t have to worry about him so much.”

“I see. Thank goodness.” Asia sighed in relief.

Kisuke drank all the tea from the cup in few gulps and expressed his intention to leave, “Well then, since he’s fine I’ll go home now. Take care, Asia-chan~.”

Asia bowed down, “Thank you very much, Kisuke-san.”

Kisuke started walking towards the door intending to exit when Rias finally got hold of herself, “Wait! Urahara! Don’t leave!” Rias ran over to him.

Kisuke turned around and visibly exclaimed, “Oh! Isn’t this Gremory-senpai? I didn’t notice you there. Please do forgive me.”

Rias almost tripped and fell to the ground when she heard him, ‘Dammit… Rias, calm yourself down, if you react to his antics he’ll win. And that’s not important right now.’ Rias continued walking and reached in front of him, “How did you come here? No… more importantly, where’s Koneko? How is Koneko doing!?” By the time she asks her last question, she’s already grabbing Kisuke’s clothes.

“Calm down will you. She’s already stable. I know you want to see her right now, but you have things that you have to do.” Kisuke grabbed her hands and put it down.

Rias took a step back and sighed in relief, ‘Urahara is right, I have things that I must do for Koneko to stay safe…’

Kisuke then faced Akeno with still dumbfounded face, “Yo, Apprentice Maid Akeno-chan~. Have you fix your issues?”

“You’re the one with issue!!! And I’m not an Apprentice Maid!!!” Akeno wanted to rush to Kisuke and bite him to death but stopped herself as there are many eyes watching her movements.

“Obviously not. Haahh… You still have a long way to go.” Kisuke shook his head in disappointment and resumed walking towards the exit.

“F*ck you!!!” This is the first time or ever heard Akeno swearing with all of her feelings, ‘This guy is indeed amazing… Better not annoy him.’ Is what on everyone’s mind except for Asia and Ravel.

Ravel got curious and asks, “Are you as strong as that lady who stopped Rias-san’s Rook?”

“Hahaha, no way I’m that awesome~. I’m just your average Candy Store Owner~. By the way, you’re all welcome to come and try some of our merchandise ~.”

Ravel wants to pinch his annoying face but decided against it because he’s abilities are still largely unknown and she doesn’t want to make him her enemy if possible.

Kisuke reached the door and stop as he suddenly remembered something and turned around again to Rias, “Gremory-senpai, If you can’t protect Koneko’s place beside you, she still has one beside me. I’m not trying to compete with you but that’s what I already promised her.”

Rias blankly look at him who already exited after saying his piece. She tried chasing him again to ask more about it but when she went through the door, but Rias couldn’t find Kisuke’s figure.

In the Gremory Mansion, Sirzechs sighed and asks one of the maids to prepare some snacks and beverages for everyone.

“Sirzechs-chan, how strong do you think she is?” Serafall asks. She already stopped pestering Sona.

“Seeing how Tiamat became so vigilant against her, we can safely assume that she’s at least Ultimate-Class.”

Serafall stayed silent and nodded, “I’m going to take some days off. I want to visit So-tan.”

“Okay.” Sirzechs agreed immediately. He knew that Serafall wanted to ascertain if these humans are enemies or not.

“Alright, I’ll take my leave. I have to prepare my magical girl costume for myself and So-tan.” With that, she disconnected the magic circle leaving only those from Gremory Household.

“I should I do, Sirzechs-sama?” Grayfia inquired.

“Assist Rias for now. She’s going to get busy for the next few days.”

“Understood.” Receiving her order, Grayfia too disconnected the magic circle.

“What are you going to do now, Sirzechs?” Zeoticus stood up along with Venelana.

“Watch from the sidelines for now. Father, Mother, please do help Rias cover for Koneko. She might be the only one who we can use as a bridge for a better relationship with such humans.”

Zeoticus nodded, but Venelana is against the idea of using Koneko. At least, she didn’t want them to help Koneko with this kind of mindset.
