Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 81 Grayfia Lucifuge

“Let me introduce myself first. I’m Grayfia Lucifuge, head maid of the Gremory household.” The maid introduced herself without being overly courteous.

“Urahara Kisuke, just a student and a humble store owner of a candy shop. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.” Kisuke did the same.

“… Urahara?” Grayfia muttered under her breath but it didn’t escape Kisuke hearing. Kisuke didn’t react to it outwardly but in his mind, he’s confused, ‘She’s familiar with my surname? Urahara isn’t exactly a common surname. A coincidence? I have to look into it later, chances are, it’s related to my mother. I’m fine with her not telling me anything if she’s not ready yet, but that doesn’t stop me from investigating.’

“Urahara-kun was it? Do you mind telling me what you did to Rias and the rest?” Grayfia continued speaking, rousing Kisuke from his thoughts.

“It’s a Senjutsu technique that I coincidentally learned in the past,” Kisuke answered her without any hesitation.

“Hooh… Senjutsu. Can you do it on me? I wanted to know why they made such a terrified face.”

“Sure. Well then, excuse me.” Kisuke manipulated the remaining pure Ki in his body to imitate what his Reiatsu did earlier to the young devils. Although the pressure is the same, it doesn’t affect the soul of the target which is the most dangerous of all. Ki pressure doesn’t also come close with Reiatsu’s when it comes to intensity on the higher levels.

Ki pressure can only affect an individual so much, wherein Reiatsu pressure, with high enough level, you can even disintegrate any weak opponents just by coming in contact with it.

Kisuke used the same intensity that he used on Rias’ group and StuCo members, but to Grayfia, she wasn’t affected that much, and that’s exactly Kisuke wants to do.

‘It’s really a pressure using Ki… In Rias’ level, they would really be scared of it but that’s all there is to it. This level wouldn’t even hurt or affect them as long as they can ignore the fear effect. Since it’s Senjutsu, that explains why he could find me. I didn’t really try to hide either.’ Grayfia thought as she inspects the Ki in her surroundings.

“As you can see, it can only be used as bluff up to those who are maybe twice as strong as me. And it totally has no effect or whatsoever for very strong individuals, just like you right now.” Kisuke explained to her.

“Bluffing can be useful in a lot of things. It can even save your life.” She commented and nodded as Kisuke lifted the pressure, “Why did you use it on them?”

“Are showing my capability, they’ll probably run another in-depth investigation on me. I allowed them once, but not twice. And that redhead looks like someone who wouldn’t listen to someone like me, so I had to scare them a little bit.”

“I see…” Grayfia didn’t say anything else, but there is slight contempt in her eyes.

‘Hey, Kisuke. I want to scratch her face.’ Yoruichi sent another telepathic message with an annoyed tone.

The smile in Kisuke’s face didn’t disappear but she replied to Yoruichi, ‘So do I. If my Bankai is released, Benihime would immediately cut her up to pieces without me doing or commanding her. But endure it. In her perspective, I’m just a lowly human with a bit of skill in Senjutsu, and I’m acting all high and mighty in front of her and even threatened the heiress of their household. She’s already being kind by not forcing me to answer her questions.’

“One last thing, have you noticed anything strange is past few weeks?”

“If these Devils in school are not anything strange, then I do not. I’m too busy being a good student and tending to my shop to notice anything different….. Oh right, I remembered, some nights ago, there’s a huge ruckus near the abandoned church, although I didn’t really check it since it looked dangerous.” Kisuke answered immediately to not raise too much suspicion on her side, ‘She’s probably talking about that night when the Gremory heiress almost died. I did make it flashy because of Yoruichi’s request, but I doubt they’ll trace it to me.’

Grayfia stayed silent while coming up with a decision, ‘I can’t tell if he’s telling the truth or not as answered so readily. It’s either he grabbed it from his memory of that day or prepared an answer long before. If it’s the former, then there isn’t much cause for concern and maybe I can help Rias take him in her peerage, a human Senjutsu practitioner is truly rare after all. If it’s the latter, what does it have to do with him? I highly doubt that he’s the one who cast that blue beam of light to save Rias and her ‘Queen’, he’s too weak for that. I’ve been scanning his Mana and Ki but it’s at most on the level of a young Middle-Class Devil. I should look more into him when I get some free time.’

“I understand. Thank you for your cooperation. I’ll be taking my leave.” Grayfia didn’t wait for Kisuke to reply and immediately used teleportation magic disappearing in the motes of light.

“Kisuke,” Yoruichi spoke up.

“Hmmm?”

“I want a situation where I can display my smuggest face to her.”

“Don’t worry. A situation like that is bound to happen.” Kisuke resumed walking intending to go home, ‘If Sona returns today, base on her personality, she’ll probably bring some of her members to apologize for what happened earlier after hearing about it.’

“I’m going to buy some groceries first. You go first. Koneko and especially Aika are probably waiting for you to enter the training grounds.” Kisuke grabbed Yoruichi from his head and set her on the ground.

One of the prices he got from Sona is unused classrooms where only He, Koneko, Aika and both Rias’ and Sona’s peerage can enter are allowed to enter. These rooms serve as teleportation spots for both of the trainees and also return points. Aika would still always come to Kisuke’s house after the training to take some lectures from both Yoruichi and Koneko about the common sense in the supernatural world. Due to this, Aika and Sona, who’s always disturbing Kisuke became good friends and would sometimes help Aika with her studies, both as a normal student and Devil.

“Okay. Don’t forget my pudding, yogurt, ice cream vanilla flavor, and some fresh milk.” Yoruichi ran to another direction after reminding Kisuke of her snacks.

“Got it.”
