Playing With Other Supernaturals Chapter 230
Advertisement
"We received a comprehensive report from Serafall-sama regarding the incident." Grayfia, in her maid outfit, entered Sirzechs' office. Sirzechs is currently buried in paperwork after what happened with Kokabiel. He has to contact a lot of people to keep them informed of what's happening especially their relationship with Grigori.
Sirzechs massages the bridge of his nose before looking up, "Great. Let me have it." Grayfia passed the papers she's holding to Sirzechs for him to read. Both of them were able to watch what happened on the later part of the incident through the video feeds that Serafall sent them, but getting the experience of someone who's actually there is a lot better. Although, even now, Sirzechs and Grayfia couldn't still believe that someone like Kisuke is living in the town where Rias is overseeing. They are thankful to him for saving Rias and the rest, but also a bit scared at the prospect that he's an enemy.
Sirzechs read through the whole report and put it down after a heavy sigh, "Grayfia... Have you read this?"
"No." Grayfia immediately replied and she saw Sirzechs signaling her to do so. Grabbing the papers from the table, she read through it and she couldn't help but furrow her brows and make a serious expression, "Is this true?"
From the report that both of them just read, they knew that they still underestimated Kisuke... greatly. Since they are only watching visually, they couldn't tell the intensity of Kisuke's 'magic' and could only estimate its strength through the destruction it wrought. And true enough, there are some parts that they couldn't understand like those instances that Kisuke was able to damage Kokabiel despite his 'weaker' 'magic'.
Although they still don't know the answer about that, they knew from Serafall that he's using an entirely different system to cast his magic. Something obscure that even Serafall can't tell where it originated even after feeling and analyzing it.

"Inhuman, huh...?" Sirzechs muttered as he recalls the word Serafall kept using to describe Kisuke's abilities.
"I've already investigated his history and the result is that he's really born in Kuoh Town and lived as a human." Grayfia started preparing tea for Sirzechs.
Scanning the report again, Sirzechs asked, "No signs of memory manipulation?"
"None whatsoever... If we based it on our common sense, anyway. Now that we got a glimpse of what he's capable of, I'm not so sure anymore... Although if thinking logically, I doubt he will manipulate anyone's memories." Putting the cup of hot tea in front of Sirzechs, Grayfia replied and inputted her own thoughts.
"Why is that?" Sirzechs thank Grayfia and sips his tea.
"He's famous in the whole town of Kuoh as a petty pervert. And as someone who wants to manipulate memories discreetly, he wouldn't choose such a background. I also found out that his mother is worked for a subsidiary company of the Gremory Household for less than a decade, and we have some High-Class Devils stationed there and it's impossible to manipulate their memories." From her personal space, Grayfia pulled out a variety of snacks to accompany the tea.
Sirzechs caught her words and asked, "Hmm? Worked?"
"Yes. She quit after the Gremory and Phenex Rating Game, probably for her safety. And soon after that, she got the protection of the Sitri Clan and the Gremory Clan through Sona and Rias so that the investigators regarding the Rating Game won't be able to approach her. She's currently in Hokkaido to apparently attend her friend's wedding." Grayfia stands to the side after setting everything.
"A protection from Gremory? Why? And why don't I know anything about it?"
"Rias-sama apparently lost to a bet against Kisuke Urahara and asked for his mother's protection. As for how it happened, I have no idea as she didn't want to say anything about it. And it's only a small amount of manpower for a human's protection."

"What about the Sitri Household? Did Sona also lose a bet?"
"From what I heard, she voluntarily requested her household to send some protection because it's apparently for her 'fiance candidate'."
"What? So it's true? I thought it's just Sona's way to get away from marriage proposals coming to her."
"The reason why Serafall-sama went to the Human World last time is to meet this 'fiance' and it seems that some incident happened and Kisuke Urahara went to Greece and only came back in the middle of Kokabiel's rampage."
"..." Sirzechs stayed silent for a moment before sighing again, "I have to meet this Kisuke Urahara in person later... Setting him aside, what about the black cat?"
Grayfia made a complicated expression after hearing about the cat, "The cat seems to be the Yoruichi were are looking for according to Rias-sama."
Sirzechs noticed this change in her expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"... I met both Kisuke Urahara and cat prior to the Rating Game... And I'm ashamed to say that I offended them for a little bit." Grayfia replied, 'No wonder the cat is giving me that weird look.'
"What happened?"
"Because Kisuke Urahara threatened the youngsters, I had to return the favor..."
"From the reports, it seems that he's not the type of person to do that without any reason."
"Yes, you're right. Rias-sama and Akeno forcibly intruded his privacy and he's not happy with that."
"..." Sirzechs took a sip of his tea again and said, "We can't change the past so stop thinking about it anymore. As an Ultimate-Class Devil and a servant, it's only natural that you'd retaliate against those who go against your master. What we should be thinking is how can we pull him and this Yoruichi to our side. If I remember it right, he's pretty close with Issei-kun and Koneko-chan, so we can assume that he's not our enemy... for now."
"Understood. I'll prepare something as thanks for saving Rias-sama and her peerage."
"Oh... And before I forgot, what about the other human? Aika Kiryuu, was it? I heard that she was able to go toe to toe against Kokabiel even for a short period of time. What's her story?"
"I'm still investigating, but from my preliminary investigations, she's only a normal Human until recently."
"..." Sirzechs furrowed his brows after hearing Grayfia, "A normal human recently? And she was able to go against Kokabiel?"
"It's really a strange case that is why I want to investigate more, but it's safe to assume that it has something to do with Kisuke Urahara as I heard directly from Serafall-sama that she had a similar aura with Kisuke when she suddenly transformed. Furthermore, she's the host of the 'Last Sacred Gear' which is known to be a useless Longinus, and it seems that she can change the form or this daggers... A balance breaker, perhaps."
"Haah... Too many unknowns in that small town... Maybe I should pull out Rias?"
"I doubt she'll agree to that. And besides, the Red Dragon Emperor's family is currently living in that town as normal citizens and couldn't be moved."
"...I know..." Sirzechs finished his tea and instructed Grayfia, "Grayfia, continue your investigation and avoid touching Kisuke Urahara's and Yoruichi's bottom line. We need more information if we want to further our relationship with them."
"I'll work on it."
"In the meantime, I'll deal with Azazel's invitation first." Sirzechs intended to contact the current leader of Heaven to ask if he received the same proposition from Azazel.

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
