Kisuke immediately arrived at Issei's mansion in the Human World and couldn't help but think, 'I always knew that he wouldn't be living an ordinary life, but to think he'd reach this far, not just in wealth, but also in influence. That was a really nice call of mine back then, not interrupting Rias Gremory that time.'
The moment he came close, a girl with long, dark purple hair with sleepy golden eyes came out. And when she saw Kisuke, her eyes widened in delight, "Boss! You really came!"
Kisuke smiled and greeted the former Half-Grim Reaper, "Yo, Orcus-chan. How have you been?"
"Please call me Bennia, Boss!"
"Alright, Bennia-chan. Is Issei in?"
"Yes! We've been informed. He just came out of the training room and cleaned himself."
"Oh my~ How diligent."
Bennia chuckled at his comments and said, "His motivation was lit when he saw you effortlessly send out multiple deadly beams since he has always been mindful of his stamina. Though after that battle, it looks like something else has been bothering him but he's not sharing anything about it."
Kisuke had already heard from Medusa about how he took care of Angra Mainyu and had already guessed what was going on, 'A small resonance with Medusa means only one thing.'
Bennia led Kisuke to the top floor where every one of Issei's peerage was waiting, except for the King himself.
"Ah, Kisuke-san! It's been a while!" The sweet Asia happily greeted him.
"Asia-san~! It's good to see you as cheerful as ever~! And you too, Phenex-san, Xenovia-san, and Rossweisse-san. I heard all of you became Issei's fiancés."
Kisuke thought that they would be a little bit flustered, but it looks like it really had been a while.
While Rossweisse just bowed her head in acknowledgment, Ravel gave him a curt reply, "It honestly took him so long!"
Xenovia, on the other hand, returned a question Kisuke couldn't quite answer, "What about you? Isn't it about time you announce your own fiancés? Don't make them wait for too long."
Kisuke's mouth twitched but the only answer he could give while scratching his cheek was, "...That's a bit complicated. You all know my position." He wanted to mention that only a few of the girls beside him could be considered as 'fiancé', but he had a feeling that he'd be eating those words sooner or later, so he kept it to himself.
The young lady with golden hair fashioned into twin-tailed drills smirked at him and said, "Position, hmmm... I see... Then how about letting the Phenex Clan in that secret business of yours? I'll make sure that it'll be profitable on both sides."
Kisuke couldn't help but grin at this little Devil, "My~ So the Phenex Clan has already sniffed us out, huh? But don't you think I should wait for other potential associates to come forward?"
Ravel nodded in agreement, "That's true. But you may have to wait for a long time since we only noticed because of your clan's rapid expansion into the Human World. As you may have known, the Gremory and Phenex are the only ones actively expanding in the Human World. Of course, we would notice when the former suddenly begin supporting a third player even if they incurred an obvious loss. Naturally, this 'obviously' was only noticed by us since our network is just as wide as theirs so I doubt anyone else will be coming forward anytime soon."
Hearing that, Kisuke finally understood how she discovered Cleria's secret business, "I see. You were just guessing and I just outed myself, huh?"
Ravel chuckled, "You don't seem to care about hiding it that much, though?"
Kisuke was in silent agreement. He then took out a card and passed it to Ravel, "You can contact my aunt through that. I'm just their engineer and technical advisor so it's not my decision where they want to take things."
Ravel happily kept the card, not knowing the true scale of the Belial Clan's 'business'. Tonight, the whole Phenex Clan will bounce into action as if their butts caught on fire. And the sad thing is, they couldn't back out. Ravel would question her life choices and would come back to this moment to recall Kisuke's smile as the smile of a true 'Devil'.
Kisuke secretly scanned the surroundings with his Reiatsu and saw that Issei was caught by his parents talking about something to him. Kisuke then faced the last person in the room and greeted her, "It's our first time meeting face to face. Nice to meet you. I'm Kisuke Urahara."
The beautiful foreign girl who appeared to be in her late teens with a whimsical aura, long purple hair, and orange eyes, also bowed in response, "I've heard so much about you. Let's get along. I'm Ingvild Leviathan."
"Likewise. But we don't have much time. Let's talk about Issei-kun. More specifically, the thing that has been bothering him."
Everyone else's expression became serious, showing their concern at this matter, "Please sit down. We would like to hear about it." Ravel led Kisuke further in while Asia prepared some drinks for everyone.
Without going off point, Kisuke explained, "The power he used to fight Angra Mainyu at the end tapped into something dormant within him." Kisuke continued on by clarifying the reason why Issei could use Ophis' power and the real identity of the 'candy' he'd fed to him when the Alliance was just about to form.
"...A Deity's leftover Divine Core that had been corrupted?" Asia muttered in fear.
Ravel, meanwhile, gritted her teeth, "So it wasn't because he surpassed his Human origin and became a half Deity, but the source of power came from a Deity itself."
'It takes more than determination to become a God from something else in addition to countless years along with innumerable 'enlightenments'.' Kisuke thought while imagining how the first Monkey King ascended into Godhood.
Seeing their grim expressions, Kisuke reassured them, "Don't worry about him. Although this power will push him to madness, his horniness will never lose."
"...It sounds like you're joking, but that's really reassuring." Rossweisse commented while the others also sighed in relief, trusting Issei's 'horniness'.
Kisuke didn't know how to react to this trust and just continued, "What's worrying, in fact, are you lot."
As confusion emerged on their faces, Kisuke added, "Recall the time he first entered 'Juggernaut Overdrive' when he thought he lost Asia-san. If anyone he cared about... disappears once again, multiply that instance several tens of times, and this time, he might not be able to wake up from his madness. So take care of yourself. Never get into a situation where he'll grieve over your loss, even if it means sacrificing himself for you."
While everyone was stunned, Issei came into the room with a cheerful expression, "Kisuke! Sorry for making you late... What's going on?"
Kisuke grinned at him and said, "We're just talking about how much of a pain in the ass you are."
