Playing with other Supernaturals

Yoruichi was silent for a short while and stared at Benihime in the form of a katana, 'It'll probably be hard for her to materialize since Etouldes uses different channels to utilize Spiritual Power. It was only possible for Stralit to release her Bankai because of Kisuke's residual Spiritual Pressure and that he was able to modify her before that ran out.'

"Hmmm... I'd like Kisuke to confirm where Chimune Chipaoti is standing on this. Depending on the outcome of this talk, a few things might have to change."

"What sort of change?"

"Like how we treat the Etouldes as a whole."

Stralit was still unaware that Yoruichi already personally knew Seraselbes so she was still a bit guarded of what she should say around her. Unbeknownst to her, this was something intentional from Yoruichi's side because she thinks that it might be useful at some point.

Stralit thought about Yoruichi's request for a few minutes before finally deciding, "I'll contact my mother's aide and relay your request. I'll add my own words so that mother will perceive it positively but that's all I can do for you."

"That's more than enough. Thank you." Yoruichi didn't ask how she'll going to be contacting the other side but she told her how to use the gate discreetly in case she needed it.

Of course, Yoruichi monitored this gate so she'll be alerted once Stralit goes through. To her surprise, however, Yoruichi received a message from Stralit a week later saying that the other side agreed to a meeting and added a method of transport, 'So I'm still overlooking something?'

Yoruichi wondered if Stralit used the path that the sneaking Evies and Etouldes were using but immediately put that possibility aside since she would be revealing herself to them, 'Of course, I can't completely disregard that. It's also not impossible for both of them to look for this path if they help each other out considering their abilities.'

While further investigation is required, that's not the current priority, and immediately passed the message to Kisuke who has been hiding as 'John Smith', receiving various offers from both Shiva and Indra Factions after Mephisto Pheles introduced him as his chief advisor.

'John Smith', Kisuke was lazing around Mephisto's office while the owner of the said office was busy sorting out all the invitations that Kisuke received, "I didn't think they'd be this blatant about this even with your dubious origin."

"Right?" Kisuke turned towards Mephisto while enjoying his smoothie, "Although I did think of this plan, I was really only fishing for idiots and to start investigating from there. I didn't think they'd be this open and desperate."

Mephisto sighed as he threw his back into his chair, "It means that they are about to start. I think the dissolution of the Alliance accelerated this." He turned his sights to Kisuke and asked, "What do you plan to do now? I don't think tracing the Evies and Etouldes will work with how crunched we are for time. If you're waiting for them to make a mistake then you'll just be gambling."

Kisuke didn't answer immediately. In fact, he couldn't give an answer because that's exactly what he's waiting for among other things.

"...Don't tell me... Am I right?" Mephisto's eyes widened in shock. Although infamous, he has already heard of Kisuke's exploits so he had been expecting more than this.

"There's really nothing else I could do aside from this, is there? As soon as I appear on their stage, all their attention will be focused on me. They might try to recruit me but I'm already pretty clear with my stance so most probably, they'll immediately move to eliminate me." Kisuke replied, still nonchalant about the situation.

"I don't think I need to remind you what would happen if those two were to remain unchecked, do I? If no one stops those idiots, it's going to be the end of this world."

'It doesn't have to be us.' Kisuke wanted to retort but he didn't want to piss him off more than he already is. Sadly for Mephisto, Kisuke didn't really have any other course of action aside from waiting. Indeed Mephisto didn't have to remind Kisuke of what would happen if this goes on since he was fully aware, much more than the former.

But unlike Mephisto who's cornered, Kisuke has a path of retreat. Rather than taking on two giants with lackluster preparation, he'd rather escape and continue preparing. In this case, if shit hits the fan, he'll just bring the whole Ouroboros Academy and others who are important to him to the Special Region and create a defense line over there.

"Say something, will you?" Mephisto's impatience is already getting into him.

"Well, that's not the only thing I'm waiting for."

"There's something else? Mind sharing it?"

Kisuke shook his head, "I can't. But let's just say that I don't want to get involved yet because I might burn an important bridge and it'll be disastrous for everyone overall."

Mephisto, understandably, was confused, 'What could it be that's making him so passive now?'

Kisuke only smiled and didn't say anything more.

At that moment, Kisuke's phone rang, and upon checking it, his smile grew deeper, "Well well well. Would you look at this? It looks like I'm done waiting~"

"Huh? What's going on? What happened?" While asking, Mephisto also started checking on his intelligence network to see what sort of event happened for Kisuke to react like that. Nevertheless, he found nothing and was only left further confused, 'Something my network can't reach?'

Kisuke stood up and threw the smoothie he was holding to his inventory, "Nothing big happened yet. I just received a piece of relatively good news and will go meet someone to see if this is actually a great one."

Mephisto only stared at him as he left his office. But before Kisuke closed the door behind him, he asked, "And if it's a great one?"

"Then I wouldn't have to hold back."

As soon as his presence disappeared, Mephisto also started preparing for the inevitable by himself, 'Thankfully, most of the members of the DxD Team are staying within their respective factions without taking any side.'
