More than an hour after they started playing chess.

"Checkmate~. I won President Shitori. You have to fulfill your end of the deal later~." It is unknown when Kisuke took out a white fan and started fanning himself.

"Wh-What?" Sona is still blankly staring at the board and processing how she lost.

For the first half an hour of the game, Sona thought that she was playing with an amateur, but all of a sudden she found that his playstyle changed and all of the moves she made prior became opening for him to take advantage of. Sona tried to salvage the situation, but alas, it was too late.

"You baited me," Sona said after reminiscing the match.

"Yep. You're confident at this game and became even more so after you see me play like an amateur. You responded with common moves to my amateur moves and I was able to set up the board in my advantage for the last half of the game." Kisuke chuckled at her.

"How did you learned to do that?" Sona was askance.

"I found some tips and tricks on the internet some time ago." Kisuke looked up and remembered some words from the tutorial in a certain streaming site.

"Wh-What!?" She couldn't believe that someone beat her using a trick from the internet. She felt that someone has just shot a magic beam through her.

"...I lost." Sona's shoulders slumped down in distress.

"Well then President, it is getting late and I would have to go home to prepare dinner for my family cat before she becomes grumpy. Let's do the photoshoot on a later date." Kisuke stood up and walked out of the StuCo room without looking back.

Sona's shoulder jumped when she heard about the photoshoot, now regretting betting and looking down on him.

"P-President." Tsubaki who is silent all this while look worryingly to her 'King'.

"Don't say it Tsubaki. I let my guard down and I won't happen again next time." Sona stopped Tsubaki from saying anything else.

"B-But."

"Not him Tsubaki. Anyone but that annoying pervert. I'll beat him next time for sure." Sona gritted her teeth.

This is the first time Tsubaki has this kind of reaction to someone outside of her family.

"Understood." But Tsubaki thought that if this were to get out, the Underworld will have a big reaction due to the sudden appearance of this 'fiancé'.

Kisuke, who is unaware of the consequences of what he has just done was happily walking towards the old building to go to the Occult Research Club room to do what he planned to do before Sona and Tsubaki blocked his way.

Kisuke reached Koneko's Club room's door and knocked.

"Come in, it's open." A melodic voice of a girl sounded behind the door.

Kisuke opened the door without any hesitation and entered. The club room interior is a wood-paneled room with Victorian-style couches and chairs along the walls.

This Occult Research Club is very unique as it is the only literature club that gets to use a whole building as its base. The clubhouse is a three-story building, with the third story serving as a clock-tower. It has been painted white with a black roof with vines creeping up to the second story. No one questions it, however, due to magic or the President and Vice-President are just too popular in the Kuoh Academy.

Inside the room are two people, one sitting behind the desk doing some kind of paperwork and the other one is standing behind her silently.

The one sitting behind the desk is Rias Gremory, the 'King' of Gremory peerage and the President of the Occult Research Club. Rias is a beautiful young woman with white skin, blue eyes, and a buxom figure. Her most distinctive feature is her long, beautiful crimson hair which she also inherited from her father, that reaches down to her thighs with a single hair strand sticking out from the top. Her hair also has loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face.

The one standing behind her with a light smile on her face is Akeno Himejima, Rias' 'Queen' and the Vice-President of the Occult Research Club. Akeno is a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, very long black hair and violet eyes. Her hair is tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place. Like most of the girls at Kuoh Academy, she wears the customary Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, along with black calf-length socks.

The two are known as the top beauties of the Kuoh Academy for obvious reasons.

"Kisuke Urahara if I'm not wrong. Is there something you need from the Occult Research Club?" Rias stopped what she is doing and looked up to Kisuke who just entered the room. Akeno also looked at his direction without a change in her expression.

"I'm here for Toujou-san, but it looks like she isn't here at the moment," Kisuke answered her preparing to take his leave.

"She is indeed not here. Koneko needs to attend an appointment somewhere." Rias replied to him.

"I see, I'm sorry for disturbing you then." Kisuke already turned back but was suddenly called out from behind.

"Please wait a moment." Rias stood up.

"Hmm?" Kisuke looked back at her.

"I heard that you're a mage from Koneko and she always comes to your place whenever she's free. She sometimes returns home very tired, and there is even one time that she returned from your place a bit out of it. She isn't the type to think too deeply if it's not something about her or those close to her." Rias kept looking straight to Kisuke's eyes.

"And?"

"I hope you're not doing anything to hurt or endanger her. If you are, you would be forcing my hand to be a little violent." Rias aura rose up as she threatened Kisuke.

"Haha~. You're really an overprotective one just like Koneko-chan said. You don't have to worry about her. I'm not doing anything that will put you or your group at a disadvantage. For one, I treat Koneko-chan like my cute little sister." Kisuke just brushed off Rias' threat.

"I'll believe you for now, but I'll watch your actions around my family from now on."

"That's fine, but don't set your eyes on my shop. That is my sole territory that I won't allow you to step in." Kisuke warned Rias before leaving through the door. As for whether she heed his warning or not, Kisuke doesn't really care as there are several barriers to keep information from going out. If she wanted to take a peek when Koneko is around, she'll only see an illusion.

When Kisuke left the clubhouse, Akeno spoke up, "Rias, do you really have to give him so much attention?"

"If not for the fact that he is the only anomaly in this town then maybe not." Rias sat down and relaxed.

"Anomaly?" Akeno is confused.

"When we arrived here, I followed my brother's advice and set up a large scale detection spell to scan the whole town. And the results are there are no other supernatural beings left besides us who just entered the town after the assassination of the previous ruler of Kuoh Town. They all left after her fall."

"What is the problem then?" Akeno continued to inquire.

"He's a mage remember? The spell should have detected him but no. I won't question the spell's accuracy if he is some strong being that can hide his existence from high-level magic. But we only found out his existence after he summoned Koneko and introduced himself as a mage."

Akeno prepared some tea for Rias to quench her thirst and waited for her to continue speaking.

"After that, I reactivated the spell and it detected him this time which made me a bit concerned after he kept summoning Koneko, and Koneko even goes to his place in her free time. I did a follow-up investigation on him and found out that he was born in this town and there is no reason for the spell to not detect him unless he only learned magic after I activated the spell for the first time or something is blocking the spell's detection ability."

"Maybe he really only learned it after the spell activated."

"I really hope that is the case."

"Are you worried about something?"

"This is my first time seeing him today up close and my instincts rang out for the first time in many years in front of him, and you know I give importance to what my subconscious tells me."

"Then let me keep an eye out on him."

"Thanks, Akeno."

"Fufu~. You're welcome, President."
