Chapter 23 Roaming Last Boss

It already 5:30 PM and about to get dark.

Kisuke is walking along the usual road he takes to go home. When he is near the footbridge that he always uses, he saw his childhood friend Issei talking in a flustered way to a girl in a dark red jacket with the letter “P” embroidered in gold, a white undershirt, a red bow, and a green skirt with a thin white stripe around the lower end of it.

Looking closely, Kisuke knew that the girl is actually a fallen angel in disguise. ‘He finally caught their attention, huh.’

Kisuke also felt another familiar aura who is watching the two interact. He used Flash Step and appeared behind a white-haired petite girl licking a lollipop. Kisuke crouched down to match her head and proceeded to grab her left shoulder while his forefinger sticking out.

The white-haired loli was shocked that someone manages to sneak behind her and grabbed her shoulder. She immediately turned around her head but a finger suddenly poked her cheek. She then saw Kisuke behind her with a large grin on his face.

Without thinking, Koneko whipped out her fist and tried to punch his face but he jumped back. She is about to follow up she suddenly saw Kisuke put his forefinger in front of his mouth and made an ‘shhhh’ sound.

Koneko pouted and turned around to continue observing Issei and the disguised fallen angel. Kisuke arrived beside her and did the same.

It seems that the fallen angel ‘confessed’ her feelings to Issei and he happily accepted it. Even though there is an obvious sense of disgust coming from the fallen angel, Issei didn’t notice anything. The two talked for a while then separated their way.

When the two were gone, Kisuke and Koneko came out of the corner of the nearby building.

“So your master started keeping an eye out for Issei?” Kisuke asked first.

Koneko nodded at his question and said, “President Rias wants him as her pawn.”

“Pawn, huh. I guess it is better for him to become your teammate rather than being hunted down by those crows left and right.”

“He is your good friend, senpai. Can’t you just take him in and protect him?” Koneko asked Kisuke as she knew that he has the power to do so.

“Nope, won’t do that. And I’m sure he’ll be more happy to be with Gremory-senpai and Himejima-senpai with outrageous bodies than a fellow man like me~.” Kisuke disagreed with Koneko’s suggestion.

“Hmmph… I forgot that he is a big pervert like you.” Koneko scoffed at Kisuke.

“Hahaha~. I won’t treat you to more sweets even if you praise me like that.”

“I’m not praising you!” Koneko did a flying kick at Kisuke direction but missed.

“Your fuse is getting shorter and shorter each passing day.” Kisuke chuckled at her actions.

“It is because of you!” Koneko is fuming in anger contrary to her almost always expressionless face. If everyone who knew how Koneko acts were to see this, they will be shocked.

“Ah, before I forget, here is your hairclip.” Kisuke took out her hairclip and passed it to Koneko.

Koneko took it and wore it on the left side of her hair, “What did you do to it?”

“I discovered some pretty interesting things. Are you coming to my place later?”

“I planned to. What interesting things.” Koneko can’t contain her curiosity, especially it came from her hairclip that her big sister left behind long ago. She didn’t know at first if she should keep it as she felt betrayed when her big sister killed their master and left her all alone, but she can’t truly throw away the last memento she had with her family.

“If you’re going then let’s talk about it later as it is some pretty serious stuff.” Kisuke turned around and started walking home.

“Then I’ll come after making my report to the President,” Koneko said to Kisuke who is already walking away.

Kisuke waved his hand in reply and he disappeared from Koneko’s sight.

When Kisuke is just about ten meters from his shop, he suddenly shuddered as he suddenly felt a terrifying aura and it disappeared a second later. Yoruichi, in her cat form, comes out of the shop and looked at Kisuke. Both of them has a serious expression. They nodded at each other, Yoruichi re-entered the shop and Kisuke hid his aura to utmost and disappeared after he used Flash Step.

Kisuke jumped building to building intending to go around the whole town in an attempt to find that massive aura that gave both Yoruichi and Kisuke goosebumps.

He spent two whole hours searching but he couldn’t find. Kisuke assumed that it only passed by the Kuoh Town. This massive aura gave Kisuke a wake-up alarm to not underestimate this world.

He returned to his shop and saw a familiar pair of shoes that always come to his place. He entered the living room and found Koneko already munching on some snacks on the table while Yoruichi is gazing at the night sky.

“How did it go?” Yoruichi turned to Kisuke.

Kisuke shook his head. “I just saw some devils and fallen angels scurrying around.”

“What was that anyway?” Yoruichi continued to ask as she still feels some goosebumps remembering that massive aura.

“I don’t know. But I’m pretty sure that thing can give Yhwach a run for his money or even wipe the floor with him.” Kisuke wiped the sweat he accumulated after running around the whole town.

“That bad?” Yoruichi shuddered.

“There is no point of thinking about it now as we haven’t encountered it yet. And I don’t think that it is hostile as we only felt its aura. It probably just passed through.” Kisuke shrugged his shoulder.

“If there is something like that running around in this dimensional plane, then I don’t know what to think of this Great Red and Ouroborous Dragon that we read about.” Yoruichi continues to overthink things.

“What are you two talking about?” Koneko is puzzled at their conversation as they are talking about those mythical being like something of that caliber is roaming around.

“Nah, we’re just playing around. I’m sweaty all over, so I’m going to take a bath first before preparing dinner. Koneko, stop eating those or you won’t be able to eat your dinner.” Kisuke returned to his room to prepare his clothes.

Koneko didn’t ask for more detail longer and stopped eating the snacks following Kisuke’s instructions.

“You two don’t look like brother and sister, more like father and daughter,” Yoruichi commented.
