Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 586 The Ride

Hearing his immediate response, Azazel replied, “Don’t get it wrong. Although there are indeed advantages for us if they were to come with you, it’s their idea in the first place. They wanted to come with you.”

Kisuke sighed and looked at the two of them who are making worried faces, “Why would you want to come?”

Serafall wanted to explain, but Kisuke directly blocked her mouth with his hand, “I’ll get to you later.”

Serafall furrowed her brows and puffed her cheeks but she still stayed silent.

Azazel, Michael, and Sirzechs are surprised at how much he had already tamed Serafall, but after thinking about it, this was only a matter of time.

Although worried, Akeno and Irina already resolved themselves. Stepping forward, Irina answered, “This is the future we wanted to take.”

Kisuke was about to say something but Akeno interrupted him, “If you’re thinking that our future doesn’t belong to you, then you’re correct. Our future doesn’t belong to you, nor to anyone else. It’s ours and only ours. We’ll decide what we want to do with it, and for now, we want to come with you.”

Both of them bowed down in front of him and simultaneously said, “This is the path we wanted to take. Please take us with you!”

Kisuke then proceeded to scratch his head and sighed yet again, “I’m sorry to rain on your parade and snuff out those flames, but I still can’t take you with me. Including you, Serafall-sama.”

“What!? Why!?” shouted Serafall while Akeno and Irina made bitter faces.

“I’m sorry to break it to you, but whatever reason you may have, I can’t bring any of you even if I want to. Well, maybe I can bring Serafall-sama, but it’s definitely impossible for both of you.”

Not moving from her position, Akeno asked, “Please tell us the real reason.”

“Simple. If you were to come with me, you’ll just simply die on your way there.”

“What do you mean?” asked Serafall.

“The distance towards my destination is far, but that isn’t the problem. The moment you step into a certain territory where I have to go through no matter what to reach my destination, you’ll be torn to pieces in an instant. If I were to compare this process, it’s much worse than a Dragon receiving Samael’s blood. Heck, even in my strongest form, I still almost died on my way back here. This is the main reason why the others couldn’t come with me. Serafall-sama will surely die as she is now, but since she’s strong enough, I still have some leeway to protect her.”

Everyone’s eyes widened at his words and tried to figure out what sort of place he ended up in if just traveling there means certain death. Only the leaders, however, have an idea or guess on what sort of place that is, ‘This only makes his claims of otherworldly beings more terrifying…’ thought Azazel.

“As such, I can’t take both of you.”

Akeno and Irina get up with defeated expressions. They never thought that the problem would be as fundamental as not being able to take them because it’s impossible in the first place. They thought that if they could convince Kisuke enough, he’d agree to it, leveraging the fact that they are additional help or their bodies are still a point of interest to Kisuke from a research perspective.

Serafall was feeling a little bad for both of them because she already knew what they really wanted to come with him, but she’s also a little happy but she’ll be able to come, “So I can come?”

“You’re not gonna take a no for an answer, right? It’s also because I knew how much you wanted to see Sona, so I already prepared some things in anticipation for this the moment I heard you were suspended.”

“So you knew! Why didn’t you say anything!?”

“…I didn’t want to think about it and I was hoping that I was wrong…”

Serafall was about to barrage him with complaints but Kisuke interrupted her before she could even start, “I’ll hear it later, but for now, I don’t have much time, so we have to go.”

Kisuke then faced Akeno and Irina for one last time and said, “I’m sorry I won’t be able to grant your wishes, but it’s not like this is our last time meeting each other, right? See you next time.”

Both of them wanted to say something, but nothing came into their mind. They have a feeling that this will be the last chance they’ll be getting and didn’t want to let it go, however, they couldn’t think or find any path towards their goal.

But as he was about to say goodbye to other people, the Infinite Dragon, the Dragon of Chaos, Ophis, brought chaos along with her by suddenly appearing, not just by herself, but also along with Claire, Cleria, Masaomi, Sakura, and Diehauser.

Kisuke’s eyes widened, but that’s also the same for the rest of the people in the room.

“Diehauser? What are you doing here?” Sirzechs asked with obvious confusion. However, as he panned his head towards other people, a big shock came to him, “Y-you’re Cleria!? Cleria Belial!? You’re still alive!?”

“Cleria Belial? You mean the former manager of this town?” asked Azazel.

“But isn’t she…” whispered Rias.

“M-Masaomi?” muttered Touji with an unbelieving face, “M-Masaomi… Is that you?” Hina, on the other hand, could only cover her mouth in surprise.

“Dad? Do you know him?” asked Irina.

But while everyone else was making a racket, Kisuke and his family ignored them, “What are you doing here?” asked Kisuke. He didn’t reprimand their actions as there might be a very good reason behind this.

“Ophis-chan suddenly said that you’re leaving without coming back to say goodbye. So when she dragged Claire with her, we asked her to take us with her, as we didn’t want to separate from Claire with an abrupt goodbye,” answered Sakura.

Kisuke became confused even more and looked towards Ophis who is in similar hiking attire as Claire, raring to go, “Ophis-chan, why did you say I’m already leaving?”

But instead of answering his question, Ophis pointed towards Akeno and Irina and demanded, “They are coming with us.”

Life immediately returned to Akeno and Irina’s eyes as they watched this development.

“No, no, no, Ophis-chan. We can’t take them. Even as you are now, you could only protect yourself. With me protecting both Claire and Sera-tan, we don’t have any room for them.”

Ophis then looked straight into Kisuke’s eyes and said, “He said he’ll help.”

“He?” Kisuke thought for a moment and a certain being came to mind and creased his brows, “But why?”

However, Ophis didn’t say anything else and just waited for Kisuke.

‘She didn’t receive any sort of explanation, huh…’ Kisuke contemplated for a minute, ignoring the voices in the background. He then came to a decision, ‘If he wants them to come, I should just go with that since he’s helping out… Nevertheless, I think I can consider him as an ally.’

Clapping his hand twice, Kisuke gathered everyone’s attention, “Alright, everyone! Please hear me out!” As he successfully pulled their attention, Kisuke looked towards Akeno and Irina, “Himejima-san, Irina, pack your things and say your goodbyes, we’ll leave soon.”

“A-are you sure?” asked Irina with glittering eyes.

“A hundred percent, so hurry up. We don’t have much time.”

Akeno and Irina immediately turned towards their families and superiors without questions asked.

Meanwhile, Azazel approached Kisuke and asked, “What made you change your mind? Didn’t you say it’s only suicide for them to go? Did you find a way to safely transport them?”

Kisuke smiled wryly and replied, “Well, we got a nice shuttle service and it’s the driver’s request to bring them along. I don’t know what’s going through his mind though.”

“A shuttle service? The driver who?” asked Azazel in confusion.

Kisuke smiled innocently and pointed upwards, “Ah, I was referring to him.”

In an instant, the sky darkened and heavy Draconic Aura descended and shocked everyone to silence.

Everyone looked out through the windows of the room and soon after, a large rift opened through the skies of Kuoh Town which resulted in the Devils scrambling and putting up a barrier that would conceal this phenomenon from normal people.

With a big roar, a gigantic red dragon emerged from the rift and Kisuke shouted towards Akeno and Irina, “Our ride is here! Are you ready?”
