"Indeed… You're partly Devil. I can clearly tell that. But that last form you took with your battle with Ares, it's not of a Devil nor is it of a Human… Yet, it's very Human… What are you?"
After Ajuka uttered that, a strange and awkward silence engulfed the room.
On the other hand, Kisuke's smile didn't change, and replied, "I wouldn't really know how to answer if you're going to ask that."
However, deep inside, Kisuke was impressed. After all, even after showing such an inhuman form, he's the only one who called it 'very Human'. Even though he's of a Soul Race, which is the main source of his powers and unique abilities, unlike Yoruichi who ca from a prestigious clan in Soul Society, Kisuke was originally a normal Human soul that arrived in Soul Society on a clean slate. Along with Zaraki, they are the only few Human originating Shinigamis that developed into extre levels.
So when his Shinigami powers and Hollow powers exploded and mixed together, he actually got closer to his Human origin and it took over his Devil side in an instant, giving him the unusual form he took in his battle with Ares. At least, that's what he thought from his and Benihi's initial investigation.
'What is a human?' A question that he has never gotten a full answer to back then in his previous world, beca even more prevalent when he arrived in this world, 'Sitting between everything, Shinigami, Hollow, Dragons, Fullbringers, is Human.' Kisuke's thoughts wandered for a bit until it was pulled back by Ajuka's reply.
"Then forget it. I'm only a bit curious," Ajuka imdiately backed down.
A few more monts of silence prevailed before Grayfia feigned a cough and directed everyone, "Please, this way."
But Kisuke imdiately refused by raising his hand, "Show this Valerie Tepes first. That's the main reason I'm here anyway."
"Then follow . I'll show you the way," Azazel proposed.
However, Kisuke just shook his head, "No need. Just let Issei do it. I also want to ask him a few questions in private."
Azazel looked at Issei and the latter also looked back and nodded at him, "Very well. We'll wait for you here."
Kisuke then suddenly passed an A4-sized paper with the fine print in it to Azazel before walking away with Issei, "What's this?" asked Azazel as he took a good look at the materials written on it.
As both of them stepped on the elevator, Kisuke answered with a large grin, "Paynt~ Please prepare everything within 24 hours~ Thank you for your patronage~!"
"Hah!?" Azazel looked again at the paper before looking up to Kisuke, "But there are so really rare and expensive things in here!"
"Well, obviously. Those are things that I couldn't get hold of easily."
"B-but that isn't enough of a reason! This is still too much!"
"Don't worry about it. That's isn't just for the treatnt of that Vampire, but also so important information that you may not be aware of."
Azazel's face beca serious along with the other leaders, "Information?"
"It's not much but it's information on so things that could potentially destroy this world. Just that," The elevator's door closed and brought Kisuke and Issei up, leaving the group silenced.
The first one to break the silence was Sun Wukong, "What do you think he ant by that?" he asked as he smoked his pipe.
"Maybe more information regarding Rizevim's movents and plans," answered Sirzechs.
"Or maybe sothing he discovered when he stord Mount Olympus," added Azazel.
"Probably sothing more beyond that. He doesn't strike as soone who exaggerates themselves," comnted Ajuka.
Serafall then interjected with an unusually serious tone, "I'm with Ajuka-chan… He's soone who wouldn't regard Great Red and Ophis's clash as world-ending. With that kind of tone, I presu that sothing else is at play here."
"Either way, it looks like the establishnt of the DxD Team won't be enough to counter all the threats. Depending on the information he has, we have to co up with more drastic asures," Michael added, "For now, let's wait for him here. We already set aside ample ti so there's no need to rush things."
Sirzechs then turned to Sun Wukong and asked, "What about you, Great Sage? What do you think?"
"Nothing… Nothing much… Though if I want to say sothing, it is that both Sakra and Rudra are very interested in him. Please keep that in mind as you deal with him."
"I see… Well, for now, let's all sit down."
In contrast, the majority of other people in the room don't have a single clue on what's going on and could only follow their leaders while speculating in their minds. But one of them couldn't help but mutter, "He really extorted Azazel…"
Hearing Rossweisse's words, Azazel could only sigh and lant. However, he was saved by Sirzechs who extended his helping hand, "Let help you prepare it."
"I would really be glad if you could do that," Azazel imdiately accepted his gesture and passed the paper to Sirzechs, which in turn, passed it to Grayfia, "Prepare the things that we have on hand right now."
"Understood. Then I'll leave first," Grayfia then teleported away.
"If there are so items that are hard to co by, we'll also help with it." Michael proposed.

Inside the elevator, Issei opened up a conversation, "Kisuke, where have you been all this ti?"
"Well, sowhere far away. I still have to return there though."
"Haahh… So you can't tell , huh?"
"Sorry about that, but I'll make sure to bring a souvenir next ti I go ho."
"Yeah, don't forget that. If possible, please include so porn books. If it's a faraway place, I'd really like to see it."
Kisuke chuckled, "Ahahaha, so you haven't changed, huh? Though I can see that you're a lot more mature now. Going out with Gremory-san?"
If it was the Issei he knew before, Issei would talk in a roundabout way before admitting it embarrassingly. However, the Issei right now gripped his hands while looking at it and said, "Yeah… That's why I have to work harder. It feels like I really need to ramp up my efforts due to increasingly difficult enemies as ti goes on… And also after seeing you fight that God. I never knew you're that strong."
"Well, I have to have at least that much if I want to protect those who are important to ."
"Though the way you ssed with them first is very like you."
Scratching his head, Kisuke replied sheepishly, "Iya~ Don't praise so much, or I'll get embarrassed~"
Issei smiled wryly, "Though I want to say that you haven't changed, you feel different right now."
"Hmm? What do you an?"
"No, I worded that wrong. You haven't changed… Maybe the sa as you told , you haven't changed but you also matured. Sounds weird, right? It's because you always seem so mature with everything happening around you, but if I were to point out sothing different, you're a lot more caring? No, that's also not it. It seems like you found sothing more important. That's what my guts are telling ," Issei couldn't exactly tell what changed in Kisuke, but he knew for sure that sothing was different about him.
"In the past, although you cared for a lot of things, you were also apathetic to most things. Right now, it seems that you can give so thought to the things you never cared for before. That's, at least, how I would explain it. Though it's not exactly right either."
Kisuke beca quiet at his words for several monts before chuckling again, "Yoruichi told sothing similar, so I guess you're right. I've also matured a bit."
The two of them reach the 5th basent floor where the dical facility was built.
