Playing With Other Supernaturals Chapter 21
Advertisement
The classes for the day ended. Throughout it, Aika can't look at Kisuke's eyes but she grits her teeth out of frustration and glares behind his head. Kisuke just pretended that she didn't notice her.
Kisuke intends to go to Occult Research Club's room to return Koneko's hairclip to her. But before he reaches the old school building where the club room is, he came across two people that he didn't want to see now. The two, which is Sohna Shitori, the current Student Council President, and Tsubaki Shinra, her Vice-President also noticed Kisuke.
Sohna Shitori is a young bespectacled woman with a slim figure, black hair styled in a short bob cut and violet eyes wearing the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform. Her real name is Sona Sitri and the leader of one of the two devil group that uses the school as their headquarters.
Tsubaki is a young bespectacled woman with long straight black hair that extends all the way down to her knees, with split bangs and heterochromatic eyes, with a violet left eye and a light brown right eye. She also wears the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform and she is Sona Sitri's Queen in her peerage.
The two approached Kisuke but he greeted them first, "Yo, President Shitori, and Vice-President Shinra, fancy meeting you two here."
"Indeed, fancy meeting you here. I've been trying to reach you for a whole week now but you seem to disappear each time. Meeting you today is a nice coincidence." Sona fixed her glasses with her left hand and smiled at Kisuke which isn't really a smile from his perspective.
"Ahahaha~. It really is a nice coincidence." Kisuke just feigned ignorance, "To what do I owe the pleasure, Miss President?"
"I want to talk about certain photos that you possess, specifically, photos that may destroy my image as the Student Council President." Sona glared at Kisuke while saying this.
"I would also like to extend an invitation to you. If you're free now, let's talk inside the StuCo room." She continued.
"Actually, I'm no- *cough* ... Very well, it's high time that we talk over a cup of tea." Kisuke was about to decline but changed his mind when he felt Sona's aura flared up.
"Excellent. Follow me." She proceeded to walk in a certain direction without looking back. Tsubaki and Kisuke soon followed her.

When they reached the StuCo room, Tsubaki opened the double-door to let the group in. The room is furnished in an old western style that gives stern feeling to the visitors. Inside the room is a desk at the head with a nameplate of the current Student Council President. In the middle is a large rectangular table with several seats at the side.
Sona sat down at the head of the rectangular table and invited Kisuke to sit down beside her. Tsubaki meanwhile prepared two cups of tea and stood behind Sona after she is done.
"President Shitori, you said you would like to extend your invitation. Invitation to what?" Kisuke took a sip of the tea prepared and asked. He already guessed what it is but wants to hear what the Sitri lady want to say.
"Going straight to the point, huh. Fine, we can talk about the photo later. Before I answer your question, let me confirm something. You've already summoned Koneko Toujou of the Gremory Household multiple times in this past few months, right?" Sona also took a sip and responded at Kisuke inquiry with a smile.
Kisuke didn't answer her and just continued sipping tea.
"I'll take that as a 'yes' then." She looked at him for a few seconds and said.
"Like Rias Gremory and her peerage over the Occult Research Club, we the student council are also Devils." Sona and Tsubaki suddenly grew a pair of bat wings.
"Heh~. That's cool." Kisuke just lightly commented on their actions.
"It seems that you already know about us, from Toujou-san perhaps? Well then, let me introduce myself, I am Sona Sitri, a High-Class Devil from the Sitri Clan, the 'King' of the current Student Council. A pleasure to meet you." Sona stood up and introduced herself while extending her right hand.
"Tsubaki Shinra, Sona Sitri's 'Queen'." Tsubaki followed.
"Since you already introduced yourself, it'd be rude if I don't do the same. Kisuke Urahara, just a humble store owner. The pleasure is mine." Kisuke also stood and shake Sona's extended hand.
"With that out of the way, what do the Sitri Clan's heiress wants from a lowly human me?" Kisuke directed the conversation.
"You know a lot." Sona's widened a bit but returned to normal soon after.

"I just did my homework." Kisuke just shrugged his shoulders.
"Homework, fufu, I see." Sona chuckled a little at Kisuke words.
"Well then, I would like to invite you to my peerage to become my 'Knight'. It seems that you already know about the Evil Pieces so I'll spare you the explanations on how." Sona Sitri finally revealed her motives.
"Heh, why me?" Kisuke sat down again and continued sipping his tea.
"From our last encounter, you were able to fend off my 'Knight' Tomoe Meguri who is a reincarnated devil with enhanced speed from my Knight Piece with your Sacred Gear and skills." Sona cited her reasons.
"Hmm, my Sacred Gear isn't that impressive though. Look, just a blade hidden inside a cane." Kisuke materialized Benihime in cane form and took out its blade for the two devils to see.
"Still, what I treasure are your skills. Besides, your blade is still a Sacred Gear even with its common looks and mediocre aura. It can improve or evolve in the future. Please become my knight."
"I'm sorry, but I'll have to decline your offer." Kisuke shook his head.
"What do you want? Wealth? Power? Or is it women? You will also have an almost unlimited lifespan. Provided that you have aspirations and work hard, all of these are achievable when you become a devil. Mind you though, we devils aren't necessarily evil, so you don't have to worry if you think you have to do atrocities when you work for me." Sona still hasn't given up and continued to persuade him.
"Haha~. Truly a devil's temptation. Sorry. I would still have to refuse your kind offer. I don't want to surrender my humanity just yet." Kisuke still refused. 'Even if I were to accept it, I doubt those Evil Pieces can transform me. It might just get shredded by the Hougyoku when it enters my body.' Is what is in his mind.
Sona and Tsubaki are mildly shocked since it's very rare for a human to be able to refuse temptation so easily. It may be underhanded, but Sona even used a bit of hypnotic magic to her voice for him to agree. Truly a devil's temptation.
"Fine, but I won't give up just yet." Sona's smile deepened and she wants him even more in her peerage.
"Then let's talk about the photos that you have, can you please destroy all of it?" Sona's smile became chilly all of a sudden when she mentioned the photos.
"No way! I already fell in love with it! I won't delete it ever!" Kisuke suddenly lashed out.
Sona and Tsubaki were both taken aback at his reaction. Sona's eyebrow twitches at his remarks and she can feel the veins on her head pulsing. But she immediately calmed down as she expected him to refuse, though not this hard.
"Then how about a game and a bet?" Sona already planned to envoke his final resort.
"Game?" Kisuke confusedly asked.
"Yes. We will make a bet and play the game of chess. Of course, this bet will be a magic contract so both of us have no way of rescinding the bet." Sona explained. Tsubaki at the side smiled a little but this didn't escape Kisuke's perception.
"What are we going to bet on?" 'So this is the plan from the start huh. Pretty confident aren't yah.' Kisuke thought about her suggestion.
"If I win, you will delete all photos of me and you'll join my peerage. What do you propose?
"Hmmm, fine. I'll play along with you. How about a cosplay photoshoot with you as a model one time?" 'I don't really want anything from her, so let's just get another blackmai- Ahem, add some photos to my collection.'
Sona's eyebrow twitches even more now and she feels it is getting harder to calm down.
"Is that what you want? I'm asking for a very big thing for you. You should change your demand and ask for something bigger." Sona warned Kisuke.
"Nah, I'm fine with it. Let's just get this over with. It's getting late." Kisuke drank all of the remaining tea on his cup.
"As you wish. Tsubaki, please prepare it." Sona just sighed at his demand. 'You aren't going to win anyway.' Is what she thought.

Yang enrolls in the Imperial Officers’ Academy to study history, but despite his unusual and unmistakeable talent as both a tactician and a scholar, his classmates resent him for being a visible outsider. When tensions at the school boil over and several of Yang’s classmates attempt to murder him, Yang finds an unlikely ally in the top student in the class: the aloof Oskar von Reuenthal.

Dreamland
Dolores is a lucky girl with a high-level avatar in a very popular game. She did not level it up; she got it through some fortunate circumstances. She is not interested in fighting and levelling; all she wants is to have some fun and follow her own fantasies. If only there would not be all those idiots who intend to kill her, capture her, or simply use her. And those flaws in the game! Wait, what? Those pesky game characters now appear in the real world? And they can do magic? How did this happen? Adding to her troubles, her crush does not even look at her. As Dolores tries only to survive and hide between 'normal' people, she encounters stranger and stranger things that force her hand and, in the end, she has the answers to a lot of questions. It is a slow-developing story. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope to share it with you, dear reader if you also enjoy it. On the other hand, putting it in an acceptable form requires much work and energy. I intend to bring it to its end and not let it unfinished. I hate it when I encounter unfinished stories, so I understand the feeling. This is not a classical isekai story. There is travel between the two worlds, and the game world seems to be so very real... well, this is one plot of the story. This is not an MMORP game story. Part of the action happens inside a game world, but it is treated as a real world. Updates on a weekly basis, at least Monday and Friday, with additional bonus chapters as time and energy allow. Cover art: White Flower as A Dark Fairy by Darkrealmsmaiden Yolanda gracefully allowed me to use her dark fairy as cover. There are many more beautiful works of art to be discovered at her site: https://www.deviantart.com/darkrealmsmaiden Additional Grammar Trigger Warning: As a non-native speaker, I do my best. Unfortunately, this is not enough for people with a low tolerance for warped sentences and... they may want to skip the story :( Well, you have been warned :) I appreciate it when a reader points out a sentence that needs rework. That may spare a follow-up reader some pain and helps me understand where my English grammar problems are. * We thought we made the best game in Earth's history We thought we made the best interfaces ever seen We thought we made it - lifelike But it far exceeded our expectations. Dolores, I hope you're happy now. I hope you're alive now...
