章節 52: Aika's Decision

"Ahem... So you decided to step in. Are you going to become a Devil then?" Kisuke ignored what just happened as he already what her decision would be. Well, he didn't know that her hesitation would disappear because of her inner-old man.

"... I don't want to become a Devil." Aika replied after being silent for a moment.

"You just intend to awaken your Sacred Gear without looking for protection?" Sona furrowed her brows at Aika's answer.

"No..." Aika then looked towards Kisuke and said, "Please take me in."

Kisuke then changes into his serious expression, "Tell me how you arrived at that decision."

"As you said, I'm just a normal Human if not for this aforementioned Sacred Gear inside me, and you gave me an option of whether I awaken it or not. I would be able to continue my normal life if I refuse and forget all of this, but you also mentioned that I can awaken it on my own, wouldn't I just land in the same situation I am now? Or maybe even worse as I don't know anything about it." Aika answered.

"But I think that the chances of awakening it on your own are pretty slim that you don't have to worried about it. Aren't you scared that everything around you may change if you continue?" Kisuke showed a mocking smile. He's making her understand that she could keep her normal life without much worry, that she's just overthinking it.

"That's exactly the point, I'm scared. I'm scared that I'll be in danger, but if I back down now, I might... No, I'm certain that I'll be in more danger later if I don't take this chance now." Aika clenched her teeth.

"Hoo... Overcoming the fear of change this decision will bring. How admirable." Yoruichi commented from the side. She has been listening to their conversation all this time.

"If that's the case, don't you think that becoming a Devil under Kaichou is a good choice? Why chose me?" Kisuke rubbed his chin waiting for her answer.

"It's really a good choice, however, I still don't want to leave my humanity behind. And no offense, I still can't trust Shitori-Kaichou even if you tell me to." Aika looked at Sona and bowed down a bit to apologize.

"Oh? You're giving me your trust, then?" Kisuke raised his brows and look at Aika with surprise.

"Yes." A simple answer came from her, but it told a large amount of conviction.

Kisuke stared at her eyes for a bit. He saw various emotions flashing through, but he knew she already finalized her decision.

"And you want me to take you in?"

"Yes."

"That's indeed another choice..." Kisuke stopped for a moment and stared at her more seriously, "But what makes you think that I'll agree to that?"

"Ugh..." Of course, Aika didn't forget that Kisuke is this type of person. Even though he helps his friends, his efforts must be worth it. That just how he is, a kind yet a selfish person. She already thought of some things to convince this guy, but she didn't know if she's going to be successful. If she can't convince him, then she'll ask Sona to reincarnate her into a Devil, but, of course, after apologizing to her.

Aika took a deep breath and said, "I can help you with whatever odd jobs you have."

"I can find someone else better." Kisuke denied.

"You can hire me for your shop for free," Aika mention another reason.

"We are not hiring, I hate free labor, and that's just the same as the first one." Kisuke still denied her.

"Kuh..." Aika already expected that she would be denied, but Kisuke didn't even hesitate to refuse her.

"Why don't you offer your body? A pervert like him will instantly agree." Sona intervene and suggested to Aika.

"That won't work Kaichou. You don't know him, but I can tell you that he'll refuse me outright and will be reprimanded about selling my body... Even though he's just a pervert. And I still want to keep my body for myself." Aika answered her.

"I'm sorry for what I just said, and what a conceited pervert."

"I agree."

"I can hear both of you, you know. I may be a pervert, but I'm a gentleman."

"Enough with that bullsh*t, pervert, let this girl continue what she has to say." Yoruichi stopped them from going off course.

"Oi... did you just say me being a gentleman is bullsh*t?" Kisuke retorted.

"Stop going off-topic, Bullsh*t-senpai." Koneko also joined in dissing Kisuke.

"..." Kisuke stopped speaking, opting for Aika to continue.

'This guy's place in their hierarchy is lower than I thought.' Both Sona and Aika arrive in the same conclusion.

Aika then resumed thinking of ways to persuade Kisuke, 'What else can I do? ... So I'm down with the last one. If I still can't get accepted then I'll just have to accept Kaichou's offer.'

"I'll let you study my Sacred Gear."

"... Go on."

Aika did a gut pose inside her mind when she heard this.

"I know your innate curiosity about the things that interest you. You said Ophis-chan is a very strong being and she got interested in my Sacred Gear, wouldn't you be the same?"

Indeed. Aika is correct to say that Kisuke is interested in her Sacred Gear. All this while, Kisuke hasn't stopped inspecting Ophis, especially her soul, and Ophis didn't do any attempt to hide it.

As he examines it more, Kisuke was shocked to see some resemblance to one of the souls sealed inside Aika's Sacred Gear with Ophis' own soul.

With this, Kisuke became interested in their connection, and it is also probably the reason she took notice of Aika. He also wanted to know the identity of the other soul existing alongside the soul that resembles Ophis'.

"Correct, I'm indeed interested in your Sacred Gear, but are you sure that you want me to study it?" Kisuke gave out a smile which is tinged with cruelty, "I can guarantee your life, but I can't guarantee anything else."

Aika shuddered as this is the first time she saw Kisuke have that expression, 'If someone would ask me to guess who is the Devil between Kaichou and Kisuke, ten out ten I will point him out.'

"So, what is it? I can take you in and even train you to use your Sacred Gear if you're going to let me study it freely."

"Can I add one more condition?" Aika hesitantly asks.

"You can, but whether I'll accept it or not is a different story."

"It's not that much. I want the safety of my parents."

Kisuke stopped and thought for a while, 'I can do that easily if Aika doesn't accidentally oppose someone strong. But just to be sure, I'll hide Aika's abilities from others. I need to have another bet with Kaichou later.'

"I guess that's fine."

Aika sighed in relief after hearing this. It's one of she was most worried about.

章節 53: The Bet

"Now that is out of the way, Aika-chan, call your parents and tell them that you would have to stay the night here. There's still a lot of things that you need to know, and Koneko will help you into that." Kisuke sighed and gave his instructions to Aika.

"Stay the night? You wouldn't do anything unspeakable to me, right?" Aika covered her not so modest chest and glared at Kisuke.

"Nope~ Not interested." Kisuke grinned at her.

"It's more annoying if you put it that way," Aika pouted and muttered in low voice. Kisuke and the rest, of course, heard her as Aika still don't know anything about their superhuman senses, but they still decided to ignore it.

This time, however, Ophis suddenly stopped eating and stood up. Kisuke knew that she has to go and said with a smile, "You can come back for more sweets."

"What? What's going on? Ophis-chan is leaving? I haven't had enough of my Ophinium!" Aika shouted like her suspicious dealer is leaving too few of her stuff.

Ophis stared at Kisuke for a moment, without saying anything, she disappeared from her position leaving only some black particles that only stayed for a few seconds. Kisuke actively scanned his surroundings but didn't find anything out of place. She teleported outside of his perception. He wanted to put a tracker on her but decided against it as the advantages are too little than the disadvantages.

"So, what do we do now?" Sona asked and looked at the clock. It's already 8:00 PM.

"We'll have a pajama party!!!" Kisuke declared, raising his fan in the air.

"..." Everyone didn't know how to react.

Except for Yoruichi, "You just probably wants to see everyone in their pajamas."

And Kisuke didn't deny it, "Damn right."

"Is there a cure for his head?" Aika asked everyone else blankly.

"Maybe we can try slamming his head to the wall repeatedly until he reaches enlightenment?" Koneko and her overly violent suggestion.

"Nice! I like that idea. We can also try tying him up and dropping him under the ice caps of Antartica, it'll let his head cool down... probably." And Yoruichi whose suggestion isn't much better.

"I'm sorry that my son has some screws loose. As his mother, I should have tightened them a bit when he was young." Sakura couldn't look at her son's antics.

"T-these people are harsh." Kisuke can only say that.

"I'm sorry to break your fun, but I won't be joining you. After playing a chess match with him, I'm going home." Sona interrupted them and laid out her plans.

"Come on Kaichou, I know that you won't be satisfied with just a match. You can use your magic to conjure your pajamas."

"Hoho... Do you think that I'm going to play multiple matches with you tonight? Interesting, let me remind you that I only let my guard down the first time. I won't be defeated by those tips and tricks that you learned through internet tutorials." Sona for the first time research tips and tricks to play chess on the internet and made a compilation of it inside her head. These tips and tricks can only win against those who let their guard down and she won't be doing that this time around. She chuckled at the thought of finally getting back against the hateful pervert, though she didn't voice it out, 'I wonder what I should ask for our bet?' She has a small smile on her face, already anticipating Kisuke's miserable expression.

Due to Kisuke's constant teasing and annoyingness, and all these people who are on the receiving end of his pranks want to see him fell down from his pedestal. This is especially true for the girls present today, they are thinking of things that normally don't cross their minds.

"Well then, let's have a match." Kisuke took out a set of chessboards from his inventory and place it on the center table of the living room.

"Before we begin, I'd like to discuss this time's bet." Sona sat down opposite of Kisuke and fixed her glasses.

"Sure, you can go ahead first." Kisuke readily agreed while he sets up the board.

"First is my photos in your holding and to swear to never spread or use it.

"Second, I'm taking back the right to wear a costume and be photographed in it that you got away with last time.

"Third and the last is for you to accept my invitation to become my 'Knight'."

Sona stopped speaking and waited for Kisuke.

"I'm fine with that, my condition this time is, first, I want everything you witness and heard the moment you stepped into this house a secret." This became Kisuke's priority as he didn't want any information leak yet due to his knowledge still lacking.

Sona's eyebrows furrowed at his first condition. But she understands where he is coming from and it isn't an unreasonable condition even more so that this is a Devil contract binding.

"Second is information." And this is Kisuke real intention after accepting Sona's rematch.

"Information? My clan has accumulated thousands of years of information, but if you're aiming for secrets and only those available for High-Class Devils, then I can't grant you wish. Though I'm not saying that I'll lose to you."

"Basic information is fine. Magic, Senjutsu, Youjutsu, and other techniques that are rarely available for public but pretty common for Middle-Class and up. Also, information on common sense for your societies, Angels and Fallen Angels included."

"Hmmm, that isn't much, so I guess that's fine. I believe that you already laid out everything you want?" Sona thought for a bit and agreed, while the techniques and skills are the family's property it isn't hard to access it if it's for Middle-Class and below. As for information on common sense, it's publicly available in Underworld for visitors from other planes.

"One last thing."

"What is it?"

"I want another voucher to photograph you while wearing a different costume."

"Wha-!? Grrr... Fine." Sona greeted her teeth and replied, she already promised herself that she won't lose.

"So this bet is where Kisuke almost becomes a Devil?" Aika asked out loud while watching from the side.

"Kiryuu-chan, call your parents first. They're probably worried about you." Sakura reminded her.

"Ah, I forgot. Thank you for the reminder aunty, but please call me Aika." Aika thank Kisuke's mother for the reminder and also used this chance to get close to her. She became gustier after the events she went through just now.

"Alright Aika-chan, just hurry up." Sakura easily agreed and urge her to make her call.

"I'll use your yard to make a quick call." Aika stood up and walk towards the exit.

"Why not just here?"

"U-Uhm... My parents are probably going to scold me and I don't want any of you to hear it as it may become awkward." Aika explained, but her eyes were darting all over the place.

Sakura noticed this and said, "I'll speak with them for you and explain that you would be staying the night, that way, they won't scold you anymore... at least not as hard."

"It's fine Aunty! Even though they scold me often, they also dote on me! As long as I properly explain to them, they easily agree!" Aika practically ran outside while saying this leaving Sakura behind and not having a chance to say more.
