Playing With Other Supernaturals Chapter 78
Advertisement
Ruruko Nimura is a first-year high school student at Kuoh Academy and one of Sona Sitri's Pawns. Ruruko by chance, happened to learn about Sona and her peerage being devils and willingly asked to be reincarnated into her peerage. Sona did so and she joined the Student Council in the process.
Ruruko is a short girl with brown hair in long twin ponytails and green eyes. She wears a pair of green clips in her hair and she also wears striped green stockings.
Ruruko has a crush on Genshirou Saji and her crush on him began when he started giving lots of help once he started doing Student Council work. She has a hot-headed wanting to solve problems through violence, rather than negotiation. So when she inspected that Saji isn't breathing after taking Kisuke's attack, she already jumped into a conclusion. Brandishing her fist, she rushed towards Kisuke with hate-filled expression, "YOU BASTARD!!!"
Kisuke dodge by sidestepping and took out his cane. Ruruko wanted to turn around to rush to him again, but just as she turned around the tip of Kisuke's cane hit her forehead with enough force for her lay down on the ground with her back, "Kuh..."
Kisuke flipped forward, landing near Ruruko's head suspending the tip of his cane just a few millimeters away from her face. Ruruko tried to stand up but found her whole body pinned to the ground, 'I can't move!' She looked up towards Kisuke who is now wearing a blank expression, looking down on her and fear finally began to creep on her as she notices strange energy coming from his cane. It feels like a sharp sword is about to drop to her face killing her in the process.
Kisuke just used a Zanjutsu technique called Shitonegaeshi (Cushion Return), which aims to subdue an opponent and immobilize them on the ground using coercion alone. Kisuke suspends the tip of his cane millimeters from his opponent's face after he has already struck them down.

"Ruruko!!!" When Sona's peerage members saw that Ruruko is now in danger, they all took out their respective weapons and most of them rushed towards Kisuke to help Ruruko, but they stopped their steps when an unexpected person went in between them.
"Koneko!?" Rias, Akeno and Issei shouted as they wake up from their stupor. In just a few seconds, a lot of things happened that they weren't even able to react properly.
"What's the meaning of this? Toujou Koneko! We know that you're very close to him, but we won't let him go for killing Saji and taking Ruruko as a hostage! Even if you're from Rias-sama's peerage!" Without Sona and Tsubaki, Momo Hanakai is acting as their current leader. She is a second-year high school student at Kuoh Academy and one of Sona's Bishops. And she's fuming with anger as one of her precious comrades in not breathing after getting hit by Kisuke's palm and another one is being pinned to the ground by the same assailant with a fearful expression on her face. She's also panicking because she doesn't know how she would explain this to Sona. And now one of Rias' peerage members blocked their way to save Ruruko, she almost lost her mind.
"Koneko! What are you doing!?" Rias shouted and about to drag her away.
"Please calm down, all of you. Genshirou-senpai isn't dead. He isn't even hurt that much." Koneko spoke with her deadpan expression and slowly walk through the group and towards Saji who's unconscious. She ignored everyone's stares and used the coercion technique that Yoruichi taught her that pressures those around her by using her aura alone.
Everyone in Rias' group is also dumbfounded at Koneko's pressure. 'What the heck!' And they all have the same thoughts.

Koneko reached the fainted Saji and crouched down. Tsubasa Yura, who's left behind to guard Saji wanted to block her but can't move from her spot due to the unknown pressure she is releasing, "What are you doing!?"
Koneko ignored her and raised her left arm, "Eyy." She brought it down, slapping Saji's chest. After that, Saji coughed out and regained consciousness. He looked around in confusion and noticed everyone's dumbfounded expression looking at him, "What's happening?"
Koneko stood up and walked away while saying, "You lost."
Saji heard her and it all came back to him now. He took one strike to the solar plexus from Kisuke's palm and was launched into the air. Before he hits the ground, he already fainted, "I lost." Saji let out a big sigh and became frustrated with his own weakness.
"Saji-senpai!" It was unknown when Kisuke lets go of Ruruko and she rushed to the awakened Saji, hugging him while crying.
"Ruruko-chan!? What's happening?" Saji doesn't know what to do and looked around to look for help and try to understand the situation, but he noticed that everyone still has the same dumbfounded expression, 'Really! What's happening?'
Kisuke, who's being silent all this while suddenly spoke up, "Well then, Gremory-san. Please enforce the bet we had just now."
They all looked at him with complicated expression while he dusts his school uniform. It took Rias a while to reply to him, "I will certainly do that."
Yoruichi jumped to Kisuke head again, "Since we're done here, I'll be taking my leave if you don't mind."
Momo Hanakai wanted to stop him and apologize for what happened earlier but didn't know what to say so she hesitated. As she was about to call out to him, Kisuke suddenly stopped walking and turned around to face all of them.
"Right, I forgot to say." Kisuke looked at everyone before smiling, "Since I'm already revealing myself like this, I don't want any more snooping around my house or my shop. And no more investigating those around me." Kisuke then focused his sights on Rias and Akeno, "I let you do so earlier because you're just worried about Koneko-chan and no real harm was done, but I won't permit it anymore. My house cat is getting restless you know~."
Rias and Akeno narrowed their eyes and thought, 'Isn't he getting too full of himself just because he can fight a bit better than the rest?'
Rias opened her mouth and said, "And what if we don't listen to you? You probably don't know, but I'm the supervisor of this town and someone dangerous as you can't go off my radar."
Kisuke's smile grew deeper and said, "I don't care if you're the supervisor, the Mayor, or the Devil King's little sister, but I already gave my word, so please don't disregard it so readily."
As he finished his words, a sudden pressure enveloped them except for Issei, Asia, and Koneko and they almost dropped to the ground.
"All I can tell you is that you wouldn't like it very much."

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
