Playing With Other Supernaturals

Volume 5 Chapter 264 - Delivery

"Kisuke-senpai… Even if we can\'t use all of our abilities, we can still fight to some extent." Koneko followed up.

"Kisuke… It\'s too dangerous to get involved with them. Why don\'t you just stay put here?" Sakura came out from the kitchen bringing some snacks to the living room.

"Mom, it\'s actually more dangerous for us if I don\'t show up. Chances are, they\'ll consider us a neutral force. But that doesn\'t remove the chances that they\'ll consider as hostiles. Besides, Azazel promised me that I can have some input and I have some things to ask from them, primarily, the surveillance that they are putting on us." Standing up, Kisuke walked towards the door and Yoruichi, in her cat form, jumped on his shoulder.

He then turned around to the two other people in the living room, "And I\'m living the two of you here to take care of mom."

Aika and Koneko could only sigh and nod their heads. Sakura, however, knew that he\'s actually leaving the both of them to her care since ability-wise, she\'s a lot stronger than the two of them.

"Well then. We\'re leaving. Don\'t go out of the house right now. And I also temporarily relocated the Yaegaki family and they are currently with Ana. She\'ll immediately contact me if something amiss is going on, so you don\'t have to worry about them, mom."

"Okay. Be careful. But remember… No matter which side you take, I\'ll be with you." Sakura approached him and hugged him.

"Thanks, ~." Kisuke also gave her a hugged and as if remembering something, he took out a pendant from his dimensional storage and passed it to his mother, "This should be a good time to give you a gift~."

"What\'s this?" The pendant is a blood-red oval jewel attached to a silver chain. After a few seconds of staring at it, she trembled and asked in surprise, "This… is Sacred Gear!? How!?"

"This is a little something that I made for your protection. It should activate automatically when you\'re in danger." Kisuke smiled and didn\'t explain further, "Put a drop of your blood on it to initiate the contract."

Sakura curiously peeked at Kisuke and knew that he won\'t tell her anything further, \'A little something? But it\'ll save me when I\'m in danger? That\'s not little!\'

She then followed Kisuke\'s instructions and drop blood on the pendant. When her blood touched it, the pendant lit up in blood-red light and instantly absorb her blood. A second later, it suddenly sank inside her hand and any trace of it disappeared, "Good. It\'s working~."

Sakura inspected her hand where the pendant disappeared but no matter how she looked for it, she couldn\'t feel its existence. She tried searching her whole body with the techniques she knew but still failed to find it, "Where did it go?"

"Somewhere secure…" Kisuke replied with a smile.

\'My soul?\' Sakura instantly guessed. She wanted to ask her son how it works but she knew that he\'s already running out of time and she figured that she could just do that later. So instead, she asked, "How do I use it? And what are its abilities?"

"I made this in a rush so there are some drawbacks and design flaws in it. First is that it\'s actually dormant now and would take some time to awaken you won\'t be able to use until then. Although, there is a way for you to awaken it forcefully and that is your life is in danger, but I don\'t recommend risking yourself just to test it. You can think of it as a trump card… The last line of defense.

"Second is, even if you were able to use it, It\'ll take some effort to control it… It\'s also possible that you won\'t be able to control it in any way and would just move based on what it thinks the best."

"It can think on its own… Then that means there is a spirit in this Sacred Gear?"

"Yes… A fickle one at that…" Kisuke sighed, \'I hope I didn\'t make the wrong choice…\'

Shaking his head, Kisuke continued, "Moving on, the third drawback is that you won\'t be able to use it for long due to the nature of its ability and compatibility issue. At most, you can safely use it for 10 minutes before it negatively affects the constitution of your soul. But even if you pushed it past that, it\'ll automatically deactivate once danger levels exceed a certain threshold."

Sakura nodded in understanding, "Those drawbacks from an artificial Sacred Gear is understandable. It\'s already amazing that you manage to create a working one when others tried and failed again and again without seeing any success. What are its abilities anyway?"

"You\'ll instantly understand it once you activate it~." Kisuke just chuckled.

"Won\'t it be safer if I at least know what it can do?"

"That\'s true… But its abilities were something hard to explain by words. If you got some wrong understanding regarding it, it\'ll only negatively affect your chances of controlling it, so the best way is to observe it properly and feel how it uses the ability. The spirit should also transfer the knowledge of its abilities once it awakens and it\'s more effective that way instead of misunderstanding its power."

"So it\'s not a simple power-up or defensive Sacred Gear…" Sakura muttered.

"We\'ll be going now. We\'re going to late." Kisuke exited the house and used Flash Step to disappear from their sights. But before leaving, he activated the defenses of the house, \'That should hold out for a few minutes against a Satan-Class Devil.\'

Standing behind Sirzechs is his maid and \'Queen\' Grayfia Lucifuge. Behind Serafall is her little sister, Sona Sitri and her \'Queen\' Tsubaki Shinra. Michael\'s companion is a familiar exorcist and also Xenovia\'s former partner, Irina Shidou. And lastly, behind Azazel is the stoic silver-haired young man, the host of the White Dragon Emperor, Vali.

Xenovia instantly noticed Irina but she couldn\'t look at her in her eyes and ended up looking away which saddened Irina. Irina already knew the whole story so she couldn\'t blame her anymore, but she\'s still a bit upset about the fact she didn\'t trust her with the truth. Although it\'s for her own good, it still doesn\'t really bode well with her.

Sirzechs nodded at his little sister who just entered the room and faced everyone sitting around the table, "Now that everyone is here. Let\'s begin."

"Wait…"

"What is it, Azazel?" Sirzechs asked.

"I\'ve invited one more guy…"

"Who…" Sirzechs couldn\'t say the rest of his question when they suddenly hear a knock on the door.

"Excuse me~! I have some delivery for Azazel-san~! 50 sets of assorted candies…"

"Come in and bring it here," Azazel replied before he could even finish what he\'s saying.

"And 100 sets of assorted AVs~!"

Azazel almost fell off his chair when he heard this.
