Chapter 137 I’ll let you marry So-tan
Both Kisuke and Serafall took turns to comfort Sona who started crying.
“Sona-Kaichou… Here… drink this and calm down.” As smart as Kisuke, he didn’t know what to do in this situation. He tried enlisting Yoruichi’s help who is in her cat form silently watching them since earlier, but she only gave him gloating smile, ‘I didn’t think that she would break down to tears.’
Kisuke also asks for his mother’s help but she replied with, “Go attend to Sona-chan’s needs. Maybe this will teach you not to tease others so much.” But knowing Kisuke, Yoruichi highly doubts that.
Serafall also didn’t know what to do as whatever she has done in the past, at most, Sona will just run away in embarrassment, “So-tan, please stop crying, okay? Here, let this big sister hug you until you feel better.”
Sona continues to sniffle while covering her whole face with both of her hands. Kisuke and Serafall are already running out of options to placate Sona when she suddenly spoke up, ” *sniffles* P-please give me… the photos that Kisuke gave you… *sniffles*” She’s obviously talking to Serafall.
Serafall and Kisuke looked at each other again and communicated using their eyes for a split second.
‘What should I do, Ki-tan? I don’t want to hand it over!’
‘No worries! I still have a bunch of copies! Just think of it as a small sacrifice to keep it to your collection!’
‘Just how many copies do you have? But great. I’ll expect it later!’
Although they communicated extremely fast, Sakura and Yoruichi still noticed it, ‘These two…’
Serafall, without hesitation, handed the photos over to Sona and Sona tore it up before burning it with basic fire magic. If Sona is in the proper state of mind, she would have noticed that something isn’t right.
Kisuke offered his handkerchief and Sona used it to wipe her face. After doing so, her expression returned but her eyes are still red. They didn’t point it out though.
“Ahem… Now then, moving on. Sona-kaichou, what is the purpose of today’s visit? You even brought someone like Levia-tan.” Kisuke move the topic before Sona could think more about what just happened and spoke in a very serious tone, but was destroyed when he called Serafall ‘Levia-tan’
While Serafall nodded in satisfaction, Sona cringed. She wanted to tell him that he shouldn’t call a Devil King like that but his question finally reminded her of their purpose in this place and she started to get nervous, “Eh… U-uhmm… You s-see… The t-thing is…”
“Hmm? What’s up? This isn’t like you to start stuttering with words.” Kisuke furrowed his brows as Sona started acting weird, ‘She’s… panicking? What happened? Is it an emergency? But looking at confused Levia-tan, it couldn’t be a very bad thing.’
Serafall is seeing so many things that Sona hasn’t shown to her today, ‘Is this his influence? I couldn’t see it as a bad thing as she started expressing herself more. But why is she panicking now?… Wait… Could it be that Ki-tan isn’t aware of what it means beating So-tan in a game of chess? But knowing her, she wouldn’t panic like this as he’s only a candidate and nothing more… I see… So you like him, huh? You’re afraid that he’ll outright reject you… Hmmm… What should I do? I do trust So-tan judgment, but should I really give her to Ki-tan?… Yosh, it’s decided. I’ll figure if Ki-tan is really for So-tan in the future but for now, since Ki-tan gave me such wonderful things and I like him a lot, I would help you out this time. Be grateful to Nee-chan, So-tan.”
Sona still didn’t know how to explain things, ‘What should I say!? That Nee-sama is here to confront my so-called fiance candidate and make him give up?… In the first place… What will be his reaction to this issue? Will he despise me? Will he just laughed it off? And he already has a lover! Although having multiple wives in the Underworld is pretty normal, he grew up in human society! What should I do!? What the hell? Why do I feel like crying now?…’
Kisuke saw that tears are starting to pool again on the corner of Sona’s eye and thought, ‘What? Did she finally remembered that I still should have tons of copies of those photos in me? What excuse should I make next?’
Yoruichi, however, notices the difference from earlier and now, and Serafall who is making an ‘I understand’ face, ‘Oi oi oi… Why make a ‘Maiden in-love frustrated’ face now? What’s happening?’
Without waiting for Sona to speak any further, Serafall faced Kisuke and asks, “Ki-tan, what do you think of Sona-chan?”
‘Hmm? Why did that question come up now?’ Regardless of his doubt, Kisuke still answered flawlessly, “I think she’s very cute and hardworking…”
“Hmm… I see… I see…” Serafall closed her eyes and contemplated for a bit.
Sona felt like a big load was taken away from her shoulder and sighed in relief. She also felt ‘a bit’ of happiness from his words, ‘Wait… Why am I feeling happy when in fact I keep hearing such compliments from others?… … … No, I don’t think that’s it…’ Sona finally has an idea why should feel that way, but kept denying it as ‘It couldn’t be.’ or ‘It’s that pervert, you know?’ But once this idea started to surface, Sona became even more aware of it and ended up blushing. Although she didn’t have any time to contemplate more as she suddenly felt a piercing gaze through her. Sona looked to the side and saw a black cat glaring at her, ‘Yoruichi-san!? Since when was she here!? Why are you glaring at me like that!? Stop! It’s not what you think!’
Yoruichi understood what she’s thinking from her look, but just snorted at her, ‘Hmmph… The moment you can’t keep such thoughts away is the moment you cemented those feelings… Damn Kisuke…’ Yoruichi would never blame Sona for falling for Kisuke as he’s the man Yoruichi herself fell for. Why would she blame the girl who fell for her charming boyfriend? On the contrary, she would feel prideful.
Serafall opened her eyes again and looked seriously at Kisuke, “Ki-tan… I’ll let you marry So-tan if you can go through my ‘Groom Training Course’.”
“Nee-sama!?”
“Wait… What? Where did that come from?”
