Kisuke Uruhara On DXD

Chapter 96

"Lately, I'm just a candy store keeper who pleases~."

Sona looked at him and Kisuke knew that gaze meant he begged for more answers.

"Heah... Not as easy as you think you know..." Kisuke then raised his right hand and opened his palm. A small, fluctuating hexagonal green shield appeared above his palm, "This spell is called the Million Escudo."

Kisuke then raised his left arm and pointed it to the side. A green hexagonal transparent shield one and a half meters wide appeared in front of his palm, "And this is called Escudo. Even you can easily break it and break through it. Millions of Escudo are this stack of Escudo and it took me several years to find it. And Aika just destroyed a year's worth of effort." Kisuke explained. Although he did not explain that he only piled up Escudo in his spare time when he was bored and there was nothing to do, Sona and the others misunderstood as she worked so hard to complete this self-protection spell because Kisuke made a sad expression as he explained it.

"A strange spell, like your other magic. I doubt you'll explain how it works any further, so I'll stop here." Sona fixed her glasses and continued, "Kisuke-kun, you are strong. If you can do the same for an attack spell, you will be able to fight a High-class Devil, but that is only if you have a single opponent. If you are surrounded by many enemies, you will have difficulty escaping. So please be careful and don't make too many enemies." Sona does not say all this to threaten Kisuke, but to convince both Tsubaki and Akeno that he is not as dangerous as he seems. To be honest, she had no idea how strong Kisuke really was, but she needed to establish a friendly relationship with him and if the two people behind him were too afraid to get in touch with him, it would only make it difficult for her.

Kisuke knows his intentions and plays with him because that is also his goal, "You're right, Kaichou-chan~. I can only fight after compiling my spell, so I will be destroyed if I run out of ammo." Kisuke took out his fan and covered his face as he laughed.

Akeno and Tsubaki are seen sighing in relief at Sona and Kisuke's words, though Kisuke thinks that they are too naive to easily believe the ruse.

"Continue, let's discuss the terms now. I guess you need us to keep quiet about what we're witnessing here?" Sona pushed the conversation.

"Yes. What do you want instead?"

"Be my knight." Sona expressed her intentions strongly.

Kisuke's smile did not break and smiled, "Can't, Kaichou. And you know I wouldn't agree to that."

Tsubaki and Akeno are surprised by Sona's first proposal, but after thinking about it again, someone like Kisuke is very welcome in any High-class Demon slave.

"Then do me a favor." Sona soon changes her condition as she only tries her luck at him.

"Regard what?" Kisuke furrowed his brows.

"I don't have anything in particular right now, but I want your help in the future."

"I'm not gonna do anything."

"It's okay. You can decide whether you want to accept my request or not when the time comes."

"... That only?"

"That's it. Knowing more about you today is enough for me." Sona gave him a beautiful smile.

"Can I take it as you try to get on my good side?" Kisuke extended his right hand towards Sona.

"Feel free to." Sona smiled and shook her hand, sealing the deal.

Sona then turned to Akeno, "Your turn."

Akeno nodded at him and faced Kisuke, "Please be Knight Rias." Akeno, contrary to Sona's usual attitude, bowed in front of her.

"I have no intention of becoming a Devil and chasing someone." Since he asked nicely, Kisuke answered him.

Akeno stood back up with a wry smile, "I just want to try my luck. Since you're so close to Koneko, then maybe you'll agree. Sorry if I offended you." Akeno's attitude towards Kisuke turned around but Kisuke could still see a hint of vigilance from her eyes which she praised mentally.

"Akeno-san!?" Koneko reacted harshly to his words because she did not want to sever her relationship with Kisuke.

"Koneko-chan, you can still stay and hang out in her place and I have no right to forbid you from doing so. But about him training you, I want you to stop. That's too dangerous! Just look! it's happened!" Akeno turned to Koneko and softly explained.

"But I still have a lot to learn from both of them." Koneko looked down sadly. Inside, he was afraid of witnessing two examples of transformation, 'What if I can't handle it? Will Kisuke-senpai and Yoruichi-san lock up or kill me? What if I hurt those who are important to me because I lost control of myself. What if...' Various what if it flashed in his mind strengthened the fear that was already entrenched in him.

"If you want to become stronger, I will ask Rias to find someone who is more suited to your skills, like someone from the Kyoto Youkai Faction. With Rias' connection, it's quite possible."

"..." - ".Koneko wanted to say something but was unable to find her words.

"And besides, from today's incident, I apologize for being disrespectful... But they were the type of people who would even risk their lives just to gain power. Do you really need strength?"

The question reminded Koneko of what she did to him. Previously, he felt confused by Akeno's sudden statement that stopped her from coming here. And since she had been an older sister for most of her life, she ended up listening to her words and almost followed him because it had always been like this, and she and Rias just wanted the best for her. But isn't it time for him to decide what he wants regardless of their opinion? But what about his fear? He remembers the scene where Kisuke lost control and injured Yoruichi. Back then, Kisuke could forget his worries because there was someone he could trust with his life, and that was what Koneko was looking for. His comrades were good especially his master because he paid great attention to him regardless of his origin. But deep down, Koneko knows that Rias is also a little scared of her due to some possibility of losing control of herself so she cannot let go of everything and trust anyone. That's why he's not open with anyone. He also wants some sort of relationship like Kisuke and Yoruichi. Maybe if he followed them more, he would know more about her and find one for himself.

Kisuke and Yoruichi have already given him the opportunity to become independent from them and do something of his own free will. Although he slowly became dependent on them, he wanted to learn more so that one day, he could repay their goodwill and more. Of course, he did not rebel, only he knew that he could not continue like this forever and had to take a step forward for himself.

With a stern look, Koneko faced Akeno, "Akeno-senpai, please take back your condition. I won't stop coming here even if you get in my way."

"But you can turn into a monster if you follow them!" Akeno said suspiciously.

"It's okay. They've warned me about it before it even trains me for real and I've agreed to it." Koneko reprimanded herself inwardly because she had already made her decision, but she let Akeno's words affect her, 'I can't hesitate at every step I take.'

"Why are you doing this?"

"To take back my sister!"

"Sister? Whatchu mean? But your brother-" Before Akeno can finish her sentence, Kisuke suddenly cuts her off.

"Quite~. My answer. No."

"But-"

"If he doesn't agree, then I'll do the same. Just propose another. We can't be here forever." Kisuke interrupted him once more, but this time, with more strength, kept him quiet.

Akeno took a step back and decided not to pursue her any further. He would have more chances to persuade Koneko at a later time. He was silent for a moment before opening his mouth again, "I have two conditions."

"Two, yeah. Please."

"First is I want you to help the Gremory Nobility when they are in danger one day."

"Hm... Okay." Okay." Kisuke agrees easily because he will still help them if they are in big trouble because of Koneko, Asia and Issei.

"The second is... Allow me to watch as you train Koneko."

Kisuke did not immediately reply and looked at her, a trace of fear and worry still lingering in his eyes, "You can't reveal anything about your time here."

Akeno sighed in relief, "I accepted it, and thank you." He reached out his hand to shake hands and Kisuke accepted it.
