*BOOOM!!* A large explosion was heard in the distance a few seconds after Vince's oversized body was forcibly teleported.
"Well, luckily I found out that Kidou from Hachi, it proved useful at a time like this." Kisuke wiped away his non-existent sweat. Kisuke then begins to walk towards the place where Vince first searched for Issei and Irina.
Parts of this factory were relatively unharmed, which was almost a miracle after the Devil's bombing.
After Kisuke reached that spot, he swung his right hand into the air and a line of light was drawn in his trajectory. The line then cleaves through the air exposing the unconscious Issei and Irina inside the pyramid-shaped barrier.
"Kudos to me prepared a barrier for both of them," Kisuke said to himself while smiling lightly.
In addition to the barrier for the two, she also put up a hearing, visual, rejection, and aura barrier around the abandoned factory before she exits to confront Vince, who is, or the waves of spectators will be outside with the sound they make.
"It's surprising, more and more activity from these supernatural beings is happening all over the city. Maybe I should take a look, I need more information about them, this is a good opportunity." Kisuke muttered as he cleared away the debris around the two children.
"I'll have to move these two first." He thought to himself and started by carrying Issei to his back. He could carry both of them easily, but still broad daylight outside and carrying two people with his size would only attract unwanted attention.
Kisuke chooses Issei first because she is closer than Irina and only takes about 30 minutes to go back and forth.
While returning to the factory to pick up Irina, she saw people gathering towards the outskirts of the city, in particular, towards the vast plains with only grass on it. That's where Kisuke sent Vince when he tried to self-destruct.
Raising her pace, she returned 5 minutes earlier than expected but she saw Irina already awake with tears threatening to fall from her eyes and looked around dejectedly. 'Oh shit, I don't have my memory changer yet, how do I trick her?'
Kisuke sees her unable to walk straight and thinks she tripped while looking for him and Issei in a panic. 'I have to remove the barrier first before he sees anything strange.' Kisuke came out for a few seconds before returning to show himself to Irina.
"Kisuke-kun~!!!" Irina screamed in excitement and ran towards Kisuke even though her legs were injured.
Irina jumps into Kisuke's arms and he has no choice but to catch her or he might end up injuring himself again. "Kisuke-kun!!! Thank goodness you are safe. You have no idea how worried I was when I woke up alone in a ruined building. Aye!! Issei-kun!! Where's Issei-kun!!?" Irina says all this in one breath while crying. Kisuke felt guilty leaving her alone like this, even though he really didn't expect her to wake up so quickly.
"Issei is fine. I've sent her home while you're sleeping, so you don't have to cry, here let me wipe your face, your snot is everywhere." While reassuring Irina, Kisuke took out his handkerchief to wipe away the dust and tears on her face.
"Mmh, that's good... Wait, what!? You left me here alone?! Why!?" Irina manages to realize the hidden meaning of Kisuke's words. 'So you understand ya.' thought Kisuke.
"Well, now, calm down. I'll explain everything to you. So for now, let's get out of this place first before the people start gathering. You don't want to talk to the police, do you?" Kisuke uses a stern police picture to scare Irina.
Like most children, Irina soon became nervous at the thought of talking to the police. "Let's go!" Irina tried to run out but, "Oh! I forgot my leg sprained."
"Hahh, come here and get on my back, I'll take you out." Kisuke thought that he should heal the sprain while holding it.
---------
14:00 in the park.
The sun has already passed the midpoint, but it is still very hot. Irina and Kisuke were sitting on a chair with tree shade. The wind blew softly and caressed their faces which was quite comfortable.
Irina chewed on the strawberry crepe that Kisuke had both before, while still in a bad mood, her food made her much better.
'How to go with this? Hm... All right, let's continue with the silly story and finish.' Kisuke decides to concoct an incredible story that a child can bite.
"Hey, when are you gonna tell me what's going on?" Although Irina asked casually, the fear in her eyes did not escape Kisuke's observation. Trauma is not a good thing, especially for a child, one of the reasons why Kisuke chose such a silly story.
"Irina, what I'm about to tell you is a big secret. Can you keep a secret." Kisuke put on a serious look while looking at Irina.
"I'm going to die." Kisuke emphasized his words, and he continued, "Because you already know that I will die, you are already a part of that secret, so if you tell others, I will die."
"Dead!? I promise! I promise I won't tell anyone so please don't die!!" Irina was obviously shocked by the revelation.
"I won't do it as long as you don't tell anyone what happened." Irina seemed like she was in danger of breaking her neck from nodding at Kisuke's words.
'Part one, success.' Kisuke did a bowel pose inside his head.
"Now just shut up when I tell you everything that happened there." Kisuke looked at Irina who was ready to listen.
Kisuke took a deep breath and began to recount, "The man in white flicked his finger after entering, and the two of you suddenly lost consciousness. I panicked when the man suddenly introduced himself as an alien from the planet Novarasc and he was there to confiscate my hair. I was so scared back then because I loved my hair, and I didn't want to lose it. He suddenly did something and the factory was destroyed before I realized it. He probably did that to show his strength. Since I can't leave you two even though I love my hair so much, I gather my courage and fight back. I threw everything I could hold onto him but it had no effect on him until I managed to grab a bottle of water with a bit of water left. I threw it at him and the water hit him, suddenly he was very hurt. I found that water was his weakness but there was no more water left. An idea suddenly hit me and I started spitting on it. After that I hit him a few times, he got scared and immediately ran away riding his UFO while shouting that he would never return to this planet again. End of story."
"... Wh-what?" Irina was obviously confused, but Kisuke did not let her continue.
"You know, before he left, he cursed me. I can only say this to one person or I will die, so please don't tell this to anyone! I don't want to die." Kisuke looked into Irina's eyes while closing the distance.
"I won't!" Irina immediately replied with a smile on Kisuke's face. "That's alien? not ghosts?"
Irina asked unsure.
"Not ghosts, not Devils and youkai. It's aliens" Kisuke replied.
"He'll never come back?" Irina asked the most important question for him.
"Never. Besides, we have plenty of water." Convinced by Kisuke, Irina heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank you, God."
Looking at Irina, Kisuke thought that he could divert his attention from the destroyed building to the 'alien who never returned' which also made Kisuke sigh in relief.
"Then why did you leave me and save Issei first?" Irina's sudden question caught Kisuke off guard.
"Well, since you know how scared and shy he was when he entered the factory and his house closer, I think I should hold him back first. After all, you're tougher and more masculine than he is." Kisuke just blurted out what was on his mind.
"WHAT!!?? Who is more masculine!!?? I'm female!!!" Irina shouted at Kisuke's comment.
"Issei probably thought you were a boy, even I wasn't sure if you were a girl until you told me now." Replied back by Kisuke, which made Irina even more furious.
"What said!!!?? Shit, I'm home now! I'll show you that I'm a girl later too!" Irina ran away while the tears would fall again from her eyes.
"Hahaha, funny reaction," Kisuke said to himself.
"I'm tired, I have to go home too. I have to prepare a lot of things if I want to have fun." He continued muttering as he spread his hands and yawned.
But at that moment, he felt something extraordinary. With her eyes wide open in surprise, she used Shunpo (Filat Steps) in quick succession to enter the forest behind the park. As deep as 100 meters, he suddenly stopped and looked in front of him.
There he saw a cat.
A black kitten with golden eyes that released the familiar signature of Reiatsu. Signatures that should not exist in this world.
"Yoru.i..chi?"
