The medical ward was in complete silence even after Tiamat took Riser and Yoruichi away. When the big screen finally disappears, so does the silence, "...That's human?" Someone from the Riser camp muttered sparking a lively discussion.
"Are humans that strong these days?"
"No way! If that was the case, the warmonger humans would have already invaded some realms!"
"Did he sign a contract with a High-level Devil? I can't think of any other way for him to use that much power. Think about it, he didn't use any Sacred Gears!"
"Now that you mention it, he only used the strange skill that the Rias-sama Fortress displayed and some strange magic that could produce that much lightning. The magic circle did not even appear. What's that again? Shunko?"
"Can someone say which magic system it came from?"
They looked at each other and Rias suddenly recalled that Akeno joined Koneko in her practice and probably knew something, "Akeno, do you know what system she used?"
Akeno thought for a moment and shook her head, "But I know Urahara and Yoruichi call their spells."
Everyone looked at Akeno and waited for her to finish, "They called it Kidou (Demon Arts)."
"Demon Arts? So it's really related to Demon Power?"
"No... As far as I know, no. They don't use the Devil's Power." Akeno wanted to say more, but she knew it was the contract limit given to her so she stopped talking.
Rias keeps asking and Akeno finally tells Rias that she is under the same contract as us Sona and Koneko and she cannot break it now.
Rias gritted her teeth in frustration. He had never felt so weak before. He wants to return to the Human realm and look for Kisuke to see Koneko's condition. Even though he doesn't like it, though, he could only trust Kisuke and this unknown woman to take care of him in the meantime because he had to be busy so the higher-ups would not punish Koneko for what just happened.
Discussions about Yoruichi continue. He even had some fans of the Riser slave. But until Yuuto realized something strange, such a discussion stopped. Yuuto sees that Asia is preparing tea but he does not know for whom because no one wants to drink tea with the current state.
"Asia-san, who is the tea for?" Yuuto asked her with a smile as he thought he was preparing her for Rias.
"This? To Kisuke-san. He helped me check on Issei-san." Asia answered like that was a fact.
Since there were only about 20 people in the ward, and everyone was trying to shrink their voices in order for others to rest, they all heard the words of Asia clearly.
Everyone stopped talking and looked towards Issei's bed where she was sleeping soundly. His bed was between Akeno and Yuuto's bed and they were now questioning their entire worth since they didn't see Kisuke standing on top of Issei's bed staring down while rubbing his chin like in deep contemplation.
No one could react to this ridiculous sight. Asia approached Kisuke with a cup of tea in hand and offered it to Kisuke, "How are you, Kisuke-san?"
"Oh, how wise are you. Thank you." Thank you." Kisuke did not mind the gaze he received and jumped down from the bed. He accepted Asia's offer and took a sip of it before continuing, "Hmm... Let's take a look... All the damage he received was very superficial to a Devil like him and with your healing, his body should be fine, but his mind took its toll. He'll probably wake up around night. So you don't have to worry about it too much."
"I understand. Thank goodness." Asia breathed a sigh of relief.
Kisuke drank all the tea from the cup in a few gulps and declared his intention to leave, "Then, since he is fine, I will go home now. Careful, Asia-chan~."
Asia bowed, "Thank you very much, Kisuke-san."
Kisuke started walking towards the door intending to exit when Rias could finally hold back, "Wait! Arahara! Don't go!" Rias ran towards him.
Kisuke turned around and seemed to exclaim, "Oh! Isn't this Gremory-senpai? I didn't see you there. Please forgive me."
"Calm down. He's stabilized. I know you want to meet him now, but you have things you have to do." Kisuke grabbed her hand and put it down.
Rias took a step back and heaved a sigh of relief, 'Urahara is right, there are things I have to do to keep Koneko safe...'
Kisuke then faced Akeno with a still dumbfounded face, "Yo, Apprentice Maid Akeno-chan~. Have you fixed your problem?"
"You're the one with the problem!!! And I'm not an Apprentice Maid!!!" Akeno wanted to rush to Kisuke and bite him to death but stopped herself as there were many eyes watching his movements.
"Obviously no. Haaah... You're still a long way to go." Kisuke shook his head in disappointment and continued walking towards the exit.
"F*ck you !!!" This was the first time or had heard Akeno swear with all her feelings, 'This man is indeed amazing... Better not make him upset.' That was what was on everyone's mind except Asia and Ravel.
Ravel was curious and asked, "Are you as strong as the woman who stopped the Rias-san Fortress?"
"Hahaha, there's no way I'm that great~. I'm just the regular Candy Store Owner~. By the way, all of you can come and try some of our merchandise~."
Ravel wants to pinch her annoying face but decides not to because her abilities are still largely unknown and she does not want to make him her enemy if possible.
Kisuke reached the door and stopped as he suddenly recalled something and turned 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 promised him."
Rias blankly looked at her who had already come out after saying her part. She tries to chase after him again to ask more about it but when she goes through the door, but Rias is unable to find Kisuke's figure.
At the Gremory House, Sirzechs sighed and asked one of the maids to prepare some snacks and drinks for everyone.
"Sirzechs-chan, how strong do you think she is?" Serafall asked. He stopped bothering Sona.
"Looking at how Tiamat became so wary of him, we can safely assume that he is at least the Highest Class."
Serafall remained silent and nodded, "I'll take a few days off. I want to visit So-tan."
"okay." Sirzechs agreed. He knew that Serafall wanted to ascertain whether this human was the enemy or not.
"All right, I'm going. I have to prepare a witch girl costume for myself and So-tan." With that, he severed the magic circle that only left the magic circle of the Gremory Household.
"Should I do it, Sirzechs-sama?" Grayfia asked.
"Help Rias for now. He'll be busy for the next few days."
"All right." Receiving his orders, Grayfia also broke off her magic circle.
"What are you going to do now, Sirzechs?" Zeoticus stands with Venelana.
"Review from the sidelines for now. Father, Mother, please help Rias protect Koneko. He's probably the only one we can use as a bridge to better relationships with such humans."
Zeoticus nodded, but Venelana opposed the idea of using Koneko. At least, he did not want them to help Koneko with this kind of mindset.
