Kisuke imdiately arrived at Issei's mansion in the Human World and couldn't help but think, 'I always knew that he wouldn't be living an ordinary life, but to think he'd reach this far, not just in wealth, but also in influence. That was a really nice call of mine back then, not interrupting Rias Gremory that ti.'
The mont he ca close, a girl with long, dark purple hair with sleepy golden eyes ca out. And when she saw Kisuke, her eyes widened in delight, "Boss! You really ca!"
Kisuke smiled and greeted the forr Half-Grim Reaper, "Yo, Orcus-chan. How have you been?"
"Please call Bennia, Boss!"
"Alright, Bennia-chan. Is Issei in?"
"Yes! We've been inford. He just ca out of the training room and cleaned himself."
"Oh my~ How diligent."
Bennia chuckled at his comnts and said, "His motivation was lit when he saw you effortlessly send out multiple deadly beams since he has always been mindful of his stamina. Though after that battle, it looks like sothing else has been bothering him but he's not sharing anything about it."
Kisuke had already heard from dusa about how he took care of Angra Mainyu and had already guessed what was going on, 'A small resonance with dusa ans only one thing.'
Bennia led Kisuke to the top floor where every one of Issei's peerage was waiting, except for the King himself.
"Ah, Kisuke-san! It's been a while!" The sweet Asia happily greeted him.
"Asia-san~! It's good to see you as cheerful as ever~! And you too, Phenex-san, Xenovia-san, and Rossweisse-san. I heard all of you beca Issei's fiancs."
Kisuke thought that they would be a little bit flustered, but it looks like it really had been a while.
While Rossweisse just bowed her head in acknowledgnt, Ravel gave him a curt reply, "It honestly took him so long!"
Xenovia, on the other hand, returned a question Kisuke couldn't quite answer, "What about you? Isn't it about ti you announce your own fiancs? Don't make them wait for too long."
Kisuke's mouth twitched but the only answer he could give while scratching his cheek was, "...That's a bit complicated. You all know my position." He wanted to ntion that only a few of the girls beside him could be considered as 'fianc', but he had a feeling that he'd be eating those words sooner or later, so he kept it to himself.
The young lady with golden hair fashioned into twin-tailed drills smirked at him and said, "Position, hmmm... I see... Then how about letting the Phenex Clan in that secret business of yours? I'll make sure that it'll be profitable on both sides."
Kisuke couldn't help but grin at this little Devil, "My~ So the Phenex Clan has already sniffed us out, huh? But don't you think I should wait for other potential associates to co forward?"
Ravel nodded in agreent, "That's true. But you may have to wait for a long ti since we only noticed because of your clan's rapid expansion into the Human World. As you may have known, the Gremory and Phenex are the only ones actively expanding in the Human World. Of course, we would notice when the forr suddenly begin supporting a third player even if they incurred an obvious loss. Naturally, this 'obviously' was only noticed by us since our network is just as wide as theirs so I doubt anyone else will be coming forward anyti soon."
Hearing that, Kisuke finally understood how she discovered Cleria's secret business, "I see. You were just guessing and I just outed myself, huh?"
Ravel chuckled, "You don't seem to care about hiding it that much, though?"
Kisuke was in silent agreent. He then took out a card and passed it to Ravel, "You can contact my aunt through that. I'm just their engineer and technical advisor so it's not my decision where they want to take things."
Ravel happily kept the card, not knowing the true scale of the Belial Clan's 'business'. Tonight, the whole Phenex Clan will bounce into action as if their butts caught on fire. And the sad thing is, they couldn't back out. Ravel would question her life choices and would co back to this mont to recall Kisuke's smile as the smile of a true 'Devil'.
Kisuke secretly scanned the surroundings with his Reiatsu and saw that Issei was caught by his parents talking about sothing to him. Kisuke then faced the last person in the room and greeted her, "It's our first ti eting face to face. Nice to et you. I'm Kisuke Urahara."
The beautiful foreign girl who appeared to be in her late teens with a whimsical aura, long purple hair, and orange eyes, also bowed in response, "I've heard so much about you. Let's get along. I'm Ingvild Leviathan."
"Likewise. But we don't have much ti. Let's talk about Issei-kun. More specifically, the thing that has been bothering him."
Everyone else's expression beca serious, showing their concern at this matter, "Please sit down. We would like to hear about it." Ravel led Kisuke further in while Asia prepared so drinks for everyone.
Without going off point, Kisuke explained, "The power he used to fight Angra Mainyu at the end tapped into sothing dormant within him." Kisuke continued on by clarifying the reason why Issei could use Ophis' power and the real identity of the 'candy' he'd fed to him when the Alliance was just about to form.
"...A Deity's leftover Divine Core that had been corrupted?" Asia muttered in fear.
Ravel, anwhile, gritted her teeth, "So it wasn't because he surpassed his Human origin and beca a half Deity, but the source of power ca from a Deity itself."
'It takes more than determination to beco a God from sothing else in addition to countless years along with innurable 'enlightennts'.' Kisuke thought while imagining how the first Monkey King ascended into Godhood.
Seeing their grim expressions, Kisuke reassured them, "Don't worry about him. Although this power will push him to madness, his horniness will never lose."
"...It sounds like you're joking, but that's really reassuring." Rossweisse comnted while the others also sighed in relief, trusting Issei's 'horniness'.
Kisuke didn't know how to react to this trust and just continued, "What's worrying, in fact, are you lot."
As confusion erged on their faces, Kisuke added, "Recall the ti he first entered 'Juggernaut Overdrive' when he thought he lost Asia-san. If anyone he cared about... disappears once again, multiply that instance several tens of tis, and this ti, he might not be able to wake up from his madness. So take care of yourself. Never get into a situation where he'll grieve over your loss, even if it ans sacrificing himself for you."
While everyone was stunned, Issei ca into the room with a cheerful expression, "Kisuke! Sorry for making you late... What's going on?"
Kisuke grinned at him and said, "We're just talking about how much of a pain in the ass you are."
