Everyone looked over in shock, except for a certain white-haired little girl, to where the voice ca from and the young man continued speaking, "Oh hey, good day to all of you and I'm sorry for intruding. I know it's not my right to speak, but I have a suggestion. How about you do this Rating Ga of yours that I hear so much about to resolve your issue?"
The young man, Urahara Kisuke is sitting on the chair set beside the Rias' desk with a piping hot tea on it. He's wearing the standard issued uniform of the Kuoh Academy and also a green and white striped hat that doesn't match his attire at all.
Grayfia's wariness suddenly shoots up and asks, "Why are you here? And how did you co in here without anyone's notice?" She glared at him and focused her pressure on Kisuke.
Kisuke raised both of his arms in surrender but the smile on his face haven't disappeared, "Wait wait wait! I'm just here because I'm looking for a refuge."
"Refuge? What are you running away from? And why here?" Grayfia didn't ease up her stance as she continues to question him.
"A certain bob-cut hair glasses Devil girl is currently out for my neck. And because she's a Devil too, I thought that other Devils can stop her and talk so sense to her." Kisuke spouted his impromptu excuse without stuttering or hesitating.
When Kisuke describes his pursuer, all of them had the image of Sona in their heads. Rias, a good friend of Sona wanted to confirm this and asks him, "Are you referring to Sona Sitri?"
"Yep~." Kisuke put his hands down and answered.
Grayfia eased up her aura but she didn't let her guard down around him, especially after he sneaked in without her realizing. She also knew the young lady and heir of the Sitri House and how she acts. She knew that she wouldn't be chasing soone without a good reason if this man is telling the truth, "Why would she chase after you?"
"Because where currently playing the ga called 'The Hero's Road'. Sona-kaichou is playing the Hero role and I'm acting as the Demon King and the final boss she has to defeat. But she got so into it that now she wanted my head of my shoulders." Kisuke shrugged his shoulders and sighed in resignation, though deep inside, he's having a good ti.
All of them were confused especially those who knew Sona personally because they are very sure that she would never play such silly gas as serious as she is.
Grayfia didn't inquire further about the ga they are playing as she thought that Kisuke is trying throwing her off by focusing the subject to sothing ridiculous and unbelievable, "If that's the case, why did you hid your presence to all of us?"
"You got it wrong, maid-san. I didn't hide my presence from all of you. Who did you think served this tea?" Kisuke defended his 'innocence'.
Rias, Akeno and Yuuto reacted to his words. Due to their superhuman senses, they got a whiff of the fragrance coming off the tea, then the three of them looked over Koneko in shock as the tea has the sa fragrance when she makes it, "Koneko… Did you serve him that tea?" Rias asks.
Koneko nodded to her question which made Grayfia furrow her brows more in contemplation, 'He capable of manipulating his aura to the point that he can reveal it only to so selected individual? Even though he isn't strong, his talent for control is monstrous.'
"When did he appear here?" Akeno followed up with another question. She knows what Kisuke is capable of and only she and Koneko knew of it so she is quite concerned about his presence.
"A minute or two after Riser-sama arrived," Koneko answered her without changing her expression.
"He's been here that long!? Why didn't you tell us he entered the room!? And how did he hid his presence that even Grayfia didn't notice it!?" Rias didn't like how soone else easily entered her domain without her notice.
"He told that he's just here to watch the drama and kill so ti. He will leave if Sona-kaichou is about to arrive. As for how he hid his presence… I don't know." Koneko didn't break her expression as she answers her because she's already expecting these things when she noticed that Kisuke invaded the room with a grin while wearing his favorite hat, even though it doesn't look good with his uniform.
"D-drama? Kill so ti!?" Rias' mouth is twitching at the unexpected answer.
But before she could react further, Kisuke spoke, explaining how he hid his presence, "I'm quite confident with my Senjutsu skills and maid-san over here is not actively searching her surroundings. I ca here without any ill intent so she failed to detect ."
"Even then, it shouldn't be possible to hide from her." Rias glared at him.
"Please… Even if you have the strongest detection skill, you wouldn't really mind a harmless insect coming to your range, would you? And beside, I can't do it for long. See how my concentration broke when she released her Demonic Power so wildly?" Kisuke's smile grew bigger with her glare.
Grayfia didn't let Rias say more as she noticed that she's getting agitated around his presence more than Riser's and supported his claim, "He right. His Senjutsu is powerfull enough to imitate the aura of a mosquito. I detected a mosquito entering but paid it no heed."
"…Who is this guy? Why is this human ddling with our business?" Staying silent for a while, Riser finally raised his voice.
"Oh, how rude of . Urahara Kisuke, just a humble candy store owner. Pleased to make your acquaintance." Kisuke lifted his hat for a bit as he introduces himself and put it back on, "As I said earlier, I just seeking refuge in this room please don't mind . suggesting the Rating Ga is just because I'm quite curious about it."
Riser snorted at him and completely ignored him. He is already underestimating him because he's just a re Human.
Issei and Asia are confused with Kisuke presence but they got over it fast because they knew that he would just haphazardly appear just about everywhere like a ghost. What caught their interest is the Rating Ga he is talking about. Issei asks his senpai at becoming a Devil, Yuuto, "What's this Rating Ga?"
"A contest that pits teams of servants against each other." Yuuto didn't fail his expectations and continued, "These gas affect the hierarchy in Devil Society so it has to be taken seriously. But I Buchou still can't compete in it because she isn't a fully grown Devil yet."
Grayfia put Kisuke aside first as this is the chance to continue their discussion, but her attention didn't leave him entirely as he might do sothing, "As you say, Milady cannot participate yet in the formal gas, but underage Devils may engage in unofficial matches. There are many such instances. And just like Urahara said, a Rating Ga is also a choice as a last resort. Milady, if you insist on having it your way, then how about you settle this with a Rating Ga."
Rias also ignored Kisuke for now and continued explaining after Grayfia, "What!?"
Even Riser was shocked at her words as it's not easy to get permission to start a Rating Ga even unofficial, 'Did she just agreed with the human?… No, that's impossible. It's already prepared beforehand.'
