Back in the hot spring, Kuroka continued glaring at Yoruichi while hugging Koneko from behind with no intention of letting go or anything. He would give Kisuke an occasional curious look but he was unable to find the examining gaze that he had seen before, 'Is that just my imagination?... No, I'm pretty sure of what I've seen. He looked at me with a look similar to those bastards when they were still experimenting with me. Although there was something different about him... Something that separated him from the disgusting devil. But that doesn't change the fact that this person is the most dangerous person here. I really should take Koneko away from this place... But how? Communication magic was blocked and I could not call those people to save me... For now, I will listen to what they say. Maybe I can find an opportunity or more information then.'
"Have you finished planning?" Kisuke spoke after waiting for a while. They all went back to the hot spring. And the reason Kuroka was being 'good' was because Kisuke sealed Ki and his Demon Power temporarily.
"Yes... You can start talking." Kuroka replied, attentively looking at Kisuke, 'He will speak?'
"Ugh... A fella? Are you guys just going to ignore me!? Kuhook!!!" On the side, Yoruichi is currently performing sleeper's choke on Aika while his other hand touches all sorts of places.
"Please!!! I don't want to lose my purity like this!! Someone, please let go of this perverted me!!!" Aika pleads with Kuroka, Koneko, and Kisuke but they ignore her bad state and will only give a curious look once in a while.
As Aika started to make noises that would not be allowed except on limited channels on television, Kisuke started talking to Kuroka, "Let's see, for now, you can ask questions."
"so... In that case, are you the same type of person that experimented with me many years ago?" Kuroka's question surprised Koneko and Kisuke. Kisuke did not think that it would be his first question. Smiling, he nodded and replied, "Yes. I'm the same guy. I won't make any excuses. Don't hesitate to look at me like that."
"Heah... So it wasn't my imagination. Even though I know you're a little different from them." Kuroka sighed as she commented and tightened her embrace on Koneko.
"Hmm? Hows it? Not to brag, but I can do some bad things without batting an eye."
"Don't say it like doing bad things is a good thing ..." Kuroka was silent for a while but her gaze did not leave Kisuke's eyes, "You're cold and selfish .. but unlike them, you know..."
'Love... huh?' Kisuke subconsciously glanced at Yoruichi who was still playing with Aika, ignoring her mood. Yoruichi noticed her gaze and replied with a bright smile. It would be an amazing sight if not for Aika who was flushed in her hands. However, it was still an amazing sight, in a different sense.
"Well... I guess you're right~."
'That's correct... This guy is different... I can tell that he really cares about Shirone, the glasses girl and especially that Yoruichi...' Kuroka remembered the head of the branch family of the Naberius Clan. He is a heartless demon who sees no one outside of their utility value and compares it to Kisuke who is in front of him now. Although he could do what he did, he could at least see people for who they were. Kuroka had seen all sorts of people as she explored the darker side of the world and someone like Kisuke was truly rare, 'But that was what made her even more dangerous. If he somehow lost the target of his affection, he would descend to something more terrifying than that Devil, especially if his abilities were as they had imagined.'
"You're too dangerous..." Kuroka expressed what was on her mind.
Kisuke somehow guessed what conclusion he made and replied with great confidence, "That's why I had to prepare thousands of ways to keep him safe. Just like how I prepared for war."
Kuroka could feel her resolution in those words and contemplate the steps she should take, "We're not going anywhere with these questions so let me ask you directly, please, what do you want from me?"
Kisuke's smile grew bigger on his question, "Simple, I want you to be our eyes on the other side of the coin."
"Can't you do it yourself?" Kuroka narrowed her eyes hearing his answer. Based on the abilities he saw them using, it would not be difficult for them to move silently.
"We can, but Yoruichi and I will definitely garner attention and we won't have as much freedom now." Kisuke can use Gigai to avoid detection but having another pair of eyes working for him is more convenient in some situations.
"That's one of them, but I showed it to you because I want you to know some of my abilities. Besides, I have an offer for you that you probably wouldn't believe without seeing what I can do first." Kisuke did not mind his reaction and replied confidently.
"offerings? Do you think it'll be more important than my sister's safety?"
"Let me explain this misunderstanding. Koneko-chan took that form because she took a large amount of natural Ki so she could not control it. In fact it is a very safe technique aside from the initial exercise that can be dangerous without supervision."
"And how do you expect me to believe your words?"
"The technique is called ascetic Mode and you can achieve it by combining your own Kimu with a natural Ki that effectively controls it like yours. And one of my offers is to teach you that technique."
Kuroka thought for a while and recalled all her knowledge in Senjutsu but still came to the same conclusion, "Most Senjutsu users in the past thought that they could use natural Ki around them to strengthen their technique, but the resentment in it affected the mind. that it can destroy it if used too much. Are you saying this isn't the case? "
"What you say is true." Kisuke unhesitatingly agreed with her.
"Then..."
"But only if you accept Ki naturally as it is."
"???" Kuroka tilted her head in confusion, 'What else can you do?'
"What we think of Koneko-chan is how to process the natural Ki before she can combine it with her own Ki. You saw it in the game. Usually, it doesn't take much time to absorb natural Ki, but instead of just absorbing it, most of the time and its concentration is used to 'clean up' natural Ki for self-use."
Kuroka's eyes widened in shock, 'So that's the strange feeling I felt. I think Shirone is strangely slow in gathering natural Ki.'
Kuroka lowered her head and saw that Koneko was also looking towards her, "What she said is true, Nee-sama. If Yoruichi-san doesn't forbid me from using Senjutsu, I can show it to you."
At this moment, Kuroka hesitated because if this was all true, then this technique could help her become stronger faster. And if it was completely safe for Koneko, then she would not have much reason to take him away from this place aside from Kisuke himself.
"If you still can't agree after my second and final offer, then I have no other way to convince you 'good'."
Kuroka's vigilance rose again after her last words but she still chose to listen because she was quite curious about the second offer.
"I can turn you back into a Nekomata."
