Kisuke Uruhara On DXD

Chapter 40

Before Kisuke and Koneko get to school, they meet Sona Sitri and Tsubaki Shinra on the way.

"Yes! Good morning Shitori-Kaichou and Shinra-Fukukaichou! It's a fun day, isn't it?" Kisuke waved his hand as he looked at them and greeted them with joy and energy without purpose.

"Good morning." Koneko does the same but in much less intensity than Kisuke.

"Good morning to you both. And you're very energetic again Urahara-kun." Sona greets them back while also giving her comments about Kisuke's usual behavior. Tsubaki simply nodded at the two of them and did not speak.

"Well, it's because I saw our beautiful President StuCo early in the morning and brightened my day.~" Kisuke replied teasingly. He was very fond of how this girl always kept her serious appearance and made him want to tease her more.

"A--, Ahem... Please stop teasing your senior Urahara-kun." Sona stuttered for a moment but immediately returned to her serious expression and fixed the position of her glasses. Looking closer, there was still a tinge of red on his face that he could not cover up.

Kisuke and Koneko realize this and are both shocked, though in a different sense.

Kisuke only talked to Sona a few times in this past week, but every time they met, he would try to tease her into breaking her serious face. And this time, it only took one sentence to get a reaction from him that shocked him, 'So he was weak with praise, noticed.'

However Koneko, thinking that this was inconceivable when she saw Sona Sitri, the heir of the Sitri Clan and her master friend whom she knew was much stricter than her. Sona from her childhood had many pursuers and even once had a fiancee because of her offspring and she kept receiving praise and flattery from them so she had to be immune to such things. But seeing how he reacted when Kisuke teased him, he started asking himself if this was really Sona Sitri in front of him.

Sona looks at Kisuke's grin and Koneko's surprised face. She had no idea what Kisuke was thinking but somehow she could guess what Koneko was thinking which made her panic a little, "Y-Then, we should leave or we will be late." He chose to escape.

He turned around and walked quickly to the school building. Tsubaki followed him silently, she probably knew what her master was thinking. As if he remembered something, before he could enter the building, he turned around again and looked at Kisuke who was still grinning at him and this face irritated him.

He approached her again with a seriously updated face and said, "I want a rematch later. Are you free this afternoon?"

"Refrival?" Kisuke tilted his head in confusion and suddenly it hit him, "Ah... Are you talking about another chess match? Sure, I don't mind. But you still haven't fulfilled your agreement."

"Ugh! Damn, why should I bet on that. I should have bet something I could buy!" Sona faltered and muttered to herself in frustration.

Koneko who was listening was confused, "Bet?" He directed this question to Kisuke.

"Hmm? Ah, so, Shitori-Kaichou here invited me to a chess match and whoever wins will get the proposed bet." Kisuke happily explained.

Koneko enlightened and continued to ask, "So, who won and what did you bet?"

"If he wins, he gets me as his knight. But if I win, I'll have him accompany me on a cosplay shoot. And by chance, I won." Kisuke explained to Koneko.

Koneko shuddered when she heard her first sentence, 'A knight? Sona-Kaichou will have a defeated knight and we cannot hope to defeat him.' But when he heard the rest of what he said, he heaved a sigh of relief. And after a moment of thought, she looked at Sona with eyes filled with pity, 'You just have to play around with her.'

The spectators who happened to pass by also reacted, "What? So the rumor that President StuCo was one of the victims of the last boss of the 'Four Heavenly Deviants' was true!?"

Such words began to spread to the surrounding students until almost everyone who passed by had heard them.

Kisuke's mouth kept twitching as he wanted to shout, 'What sacrifice!? This is a legitimate deal between us!!!' But saving himself from the effort because it would only have the opposite effect. 'By the way, such rumors will not last long as long as I let it go.'

Sona also heard everything that happened and she gritted her teeth and looked at Kisuke with hostility.

"Wait, don't look at me like that. I wouldn't end up like this if I said that." Kisuke raised his hand by pretending to give up.

"Heah... By the way, are you free? You haven't answered my question. As for the end of my deal, I will also do it later." Sona calmed herself down and told herself that she should not blame him because he was the one who made the bet and there were no lies in her words.

"I have business to attend to this afternoon, so no. But if you're okay with tonight, then you can talk to Koneko here to take you to our place." Kisuke answered and suggested to her.

"Alright, then night." Sona thought for a moment and accepted his suggestion. He is more active at night because he is a demon and will increase his chances of winning against him.

"Then let's talk about the specifics later on in our place or we'll all be really late" Kisuke said and started walking to the school building, saying goodbye to Koneko, Sona, and then he said, and Tsubaki.

"I'll see you later Sona-Kaichou." Koneko bowed to him and also walked into his class.

Sona looked at the backs of those who left and thought a moment ago, it has been a week since Sona lost her chess match against Kisuke and what accompanied it slowly seeped into her. At first, he didn't think about it because he was still rethinking how he lost the game, but as time went on, he was still thinking about it, the realization of the fact that he lost was a very big problem and every time he met Kisuke, he became more and more aware of it, 'If everyone knew that I lost to him, it would be more and more, do I really have to marry her? No, one thing is certain is that nee-sama I will object and tell him that he should be stronger than him. But I was the one who made the promise to marry someone who beat me in a chess game! Ggg, what to do?'

Tsubaki was looking at her master making a complex expression and thought, 'Sona finally realized him? That really took him a while. He was really slow at things like this. I have to help him and make sure he won't make any mistakes in this matter whatever his decision.'

"Kaichou, we have to go," Tsubaki called out to Sona who was deep in thought and slightly startled her.

"Sorry, let's go." Sona continued walking with Tsubaki behind her. They still have a long day ahead.

Somewhere in the Dimensional Gap, a black ball with a diameter as big as a football stadium floated aimlessly.

Inside was a vast dark room with only a floating light bulb illuminating the place. The only thing inside is a rectangular table with a length of 100 meters and a width of 2 meters as well as two luxurious chairs at each end of the table.

Sitting on both seats were two figures. The appearance of the first figure of a skeleton wearing clothes worn by the high priests was decorated with gold and red gems that gave it a majestic look. Despite his clothes, however, he gave off a sinister aura. Although it has no eyes, its eye sockets can shine to give it the look of an eye.

The second, however, was covered with a white robe that blocked most of his face. The only thing that could be seen from her was her thin lips and a few strands of black hair coming out from her hood.

The two of them were strangely silent and just looked at each other. The skeleton raised its right hand and a purple magic circle appeared and with it was a golden jug and two glasses of golden wine. He pours wine from a teapot into a wine glass and the aromatic aroma comes from alcohol which can be intoxicating even those with a high tolerance for it.

After pouring the wine in both glasses, the skeleton lifted one of them and released it into the air. The glass floated up and moved towards the white-robed figure and landed in front of him. The white-robed figure glanced at the glass and turned his gaze to the skeleton.

"Why bother? You know I'm not gonna touch that." He said in an indistinguishable voice. His voice sounded like several overlapping voices of men, women, old, and young. Anyone who listens to his voice will be chills.

"Fafafa, I don't want you to tell me that I'm lacking as a host." The skull laughed and drank its wine, releasing a satisfactory mark even though he was only a bone. His voice will also make goosebumps for those who do not have enough backbone.

"So? Why did you call me here?" The white-robed figure placed his elbow on the armrest of the chair and placed his chin on his knuckles ignoring the antics of the skeleton.

"Bat blood collection goes on schedule." Mr. Skeleton put down his glass and nonchalantly announced.

"Enough with that shit. You won't call me here with just that." The White-cloak Master furrowed his brows under this hood and seriously looked at that incredible skeleton.

The skull stared at him for a few moments thinking of something. After a while, he spoke, "I lost contact with my two special agents."

"Hmm? It's not good for you and me." He raised his eyebrows and urged the skeleton to continue.

"It's not as bad as you think." Mr. Skeleton took another sip of his wine.

"Tell me everything I need to know. We're accomplices now. I'd like to know how this 'special operation' of yours operates." The robed man leaned against the table and waited for the skeleton to speak.

"You already know about my 'Helm' clone. Every member of my special operations is considered dead to avoid the eyes of other Gods and mythologies. Their numbers were limited because of hers, but thanks to that, I was able to equip everyone one of these fake 'Helms' increasing their effectiveness in intelligence gathering." The skeleton slowly recounted while twirling the wine in its glass.

"The objection says how much 'limited amount' is that?"

"Then tell me at least how effective this 'Helm' of yours is." The robed man sighed and gave up.

"They can hide from the levels of Ultimate Devils, Minor Gods, and Seraph as long as they are not too close until their presence is revealed."

"What about that Super Devil and the Main God?"

"If they move, they can be aware of their presence but will not be able to know where they are. They won't even be able to distinguish the wearer's race."

"It's a very powerful force that you're hiding. Can't you kill a High-class Devil in your spare time?"

"That's impossible, because even the original 'Helm' left a trail when you attacked someone."

"Hmmm? Are you okay telling me this weakness?"

"Fafafa, it's okay. I don't use it to attack others. We have a separate plan for that, don't we?"

The cloaked man did not answer his question and leaned his back against the chair, "Are you not using it to collect bat blood?"

"Yes, just for intelligence. My subordinates will find someone else for the dirty work and throw it away afterwards without leaving any evidence."

"You're not worried they're tracking you? After all, no matter how careful you are, you cannot continue to hide in the dark forever without someone noticing you."

"Even if they suspect me, as long as they don't have any real evidence against me, I don't really care. Moreover, most of the bats I targeted were descendants of that Anti-Satan Faction. I can only blame him. to the Khaos Brigade who is getting active lately."

"Then what happened to your two members? Were they arrested or killed?"

"I don't know. I sent the two of them to watch over the city where the heir of Gremory and Sitri were assigned and snatch them if the opportunity arose."

"So? The girls of Gremory and Sitri managed to capture or kill your invisible co-workers?"

“No, I'm sure it wasn't them. I know their abilities and they are just children playing around, let alone they are aware of the whereabouts of my Grim Reaper. Their last report is that the Gremory adopted another bat and on their way to deal with some ravens. Sitri's girl sits quietly in her base teaching her lessons about her latest Pawn. There were also other demons from the Astaroth Clan, but they were just watching the process. There were also half-winged crows 8 and a half - bats that entered the city some time ago, but even so, the man would not be a threat to the two."

"Then how?"

"May I tell you that prophecy again before I continue?"

"'A human being will destroy our ambition.' "

"Well, really, how ridiculous."

"Can you continue your story?"

"Before all this, I received a report from them earlier that an unusual human lived in that city."

The white-robed man immediately turned serious and asked, "Unusual? How's it?"

"He was just an ordinary human according to the previous report but my subordinates paid more attention to him when he made contact with the bat from Gremory."

"There's nothing weird there."

"Listen to me until the end. This human was actually a Sacred Gear user, despite being weak. But the real kicker here is when the bats from Gremory keep visiting him. They paid more attention to her after that. ." The skeleton drank another mouthful of its wine before continuing, "Not long after, the bat began to live with humans and strange things happened from then on."

"Weird stuff?"

"The bat, every day, as he started living there had such an incredible increase in strength that even my subordinates felt threatened and almost caught his presence." The skeleton stopped talking and looked at the opposite man.

"What's? How strong was this bat before he started living with it?" The cloaked man slightly raised his sinister voice.

"The average young demon is low grade." The Skeleton Master paused for a moment and said.

"What's!? How's it!? Isn't your special operation at least able to handle an average high-class demon? And they feel threatened and almost aware of their presence?" The White Cloak Lord felt extremely uneasy as his divinity warned him that something was amiss. He had already invested a lot on their plan, and if he failed here, it would be the end of it.

He calmed down and looked at the skeleton again, "How long did the bat live with a human before the report?"

"One week."

"O-one week?" The man was astonished again at the nearly impossible leap of strength at that time, "What about this human? Did they report how strong this person was?"

"I tried to send a lot of people to measure it, but they all had the same judgment against him, He was weaker than a lower-class Devil even with his Sacred Gear."

"Haaah, Hades, if you have the chance, use 'it' on him." The man leaned back and sighed while looking up.

" 'That'? For ordinary people? Even Gods could be killed with just that drop. And we only have four drops for that." The turn of the skeleton was dumbfounded. Making just a single drop required a large amount of raw materials, and some of them very rarely required the help of some sealed beings.

"i'm serious. Use two drops." The man looked at him with a look of craziness even the skeleton became a little panicked.

"Two!? Have you lost your mind?!? You know how many resources we need just to get that! And now you want to use two of them at once!? And for humans, we're not even sure if he's really a threat to us?" The skeleton could not believe what he was hearing. He wanted to know the reason of the other party.

"My divinity has given me an alarm when you mention that he might be able to strengthen a lower-class demon into a high-class demon in just a week. And you know what that means because you're also a God." The cloaked man said this while gritting his teeth.

"B-But even so. Using two drops is too much." The skeleton was still hesitant even though he understood what the other Gods meant.

"I'll pay the cost of two drops."

"Fixed..."

"I will also lend you the results of my research on the homunculus. This will help your research on artificially making Super Devil subordinates."

"How'd you... Haahh, okay. But only if I see a chance." The skeleton obeyed the unreasonable request of the god. Although he might seem disappointed, inside he was celebrating. For one, the person who would bear the cost would be a god in front of him, although it was very difficult to make 'it', it was impossible as long as there was funds and time. He was also pleased that this god was willing to share his research on the creation of artificial beings that would help his own research on the matter.

Hades drank the rest of his wine and poured himself another glass before saying, "To our next agenda. How did it go on your side?"

The man calmed down when Hades agreed to his demands, but also felt bitter that he would lose a lot of things because of this. But he did not regret it at all because this was related to his never-mistaken divinity.

He heard Hades' words and fixed his position on the chair before continuing, "Thanks to your potion and the blood ritual, I can open another hole for the seal. We can only wait before we can remove the seal on Mount Etna. We will need more blood to speed up the process. This couple has already made a fuss."

"Tell them not to behave badly if they don't want Zeus to see the seal weakened. Fafafa" Hades was glad his experiment was successful. Now they just need some time before proceeding to the next big step. "By the way, it's amazing that you managed to convince that Aetna, by the way" Hades commented.

"Actually quite easy. He's fed up with Hera." The man also commented lightly before asking Hades, "How did it get to your side? You didn't fail, did you? The seal there is much stronger than the seal on the volcano."

"Fafafa, I managed to hole the seal and the Titans are in a celebratory mood right now." Hades' creepy laughter echoed around him.

"With this, the coming of the new age is near."
