Chapter 887 Black Coffin
[Couldn't you have at least told me what you were going to do before you sprung this on me?]
[That's no good. I'm actually quite deep within the Realm of the Dead and any attempts to contact you would've alerted them.]
[What was so interesting for you to take this risk?]
[I'm not sure, but it looked like fun to have... And probably the main crux of their Artificial Devil factory.]
[...That's an important one. Could you hold on for a little bit longer? The most that I can do is to bring you to my side and I'm not exactly in a convenient location.]
[You're in Gremory Castle, aren't you? It's not really an inconvenient place, so just do it. I'm about to grab this thing, by the way.]
[If you say so...]
"Is something the matter?" Out of all the people in the room, there was only one person who noticed their conversation. Valerie Tepes, a Dhampir and the owner of the Sephiroth Graal.
Kisuke smiled at her and said, "I shouldn't be surprised, but could you actually hear us?"
Valerie hurriedly shook her head in defense, "Please don't misunderstand. I could only tell that you're talking with someone through your soul and not the actual contents of your conversation."
"Though it seems like you can tell the state of my conversation partner for you to have asked that."
Valerie didn't deny it and explained, "You have an unusually good connection with that person, so it's being conveyed quite clearly."
Issei instantly guessed that the person Kisuke is talking to needs help based on their conversation and approached him, "Kisuke, do you need our help? I know you're strong but there's a limit to what two people could do."
"Heh~. You won't even ask if I'm doing something nasty?"
But Issei just brushed off his words and said, "I'd be the first one to stop you. That's what friends are there for, right?"
Kisuke still had the same smile on his face, but a glint of killing intent appeared in his eyes while looking at Issei, "My~ Not to brag, but you might end up dead."
Of course, this didn't escape most of the people in the room's notice with some of them even taking a stance against Kisuke.
Issei, on the other hand, just shrugged his shoulders and responded, "I may not know what you're up to these days... And maybe even in the past. However, I'm pretty sure that you still have the moral bottom line that you wouldn't break. I remembered when we were kids that if one is going to acquire power, it is not just for protecting those important to you, but also to protect your bottom line. I never understood what you meant back then, but I do now."
"Then Le Fay-san, I heard from Kuroka that you're good with Space Magic."
Le Fay proudly thumped her chest and said, "The best in our team~!"
"I'll return the favor later so please handle the extraction."
"I want your autograph~!"
"...What?"
"Your autograph!" Le Fay repeated with shining eyes.
"Well that's an expensive one, but you have the deal."
"Great~!" Le Fay didn't request anything else and started asking Kisuke about the specifics of her assistance.
To the side, Lint Sellzen asked Ravel and Gasper about Kisuke's autograph, "Is it that valuable? His autograph, I mean."
Ravel crossed her arms and nodded, "Out of all Oppai Dragon characters, the one he's based on is one of the popular ones. Despite that, only Bennia has his autograph and is being treated as some kind of heirloom."
"...Eh? You mean that atrocious signature she kept parading around?"
Ravel and Gasper hurriedly covered her mouth and looked towards Kisuke. Upon seeing that he wasn't paying attention, however, they sighed in relief, "Don't ever say that, even if it's true! Or you won't even know what'll hit you!" Ravel reprimanded her with a very soft voice.
Gasper nodded vigorously and whispered, "That's right! He's capable, but also incredibly petty!"
"What should I do next?" asked Le Fay but there wasn't any reply so she looked at him making a weird smile, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. It's just that some kids have just entered my naughty list."
'Why are you suddenly playing Santa?' Le Fay wanted to ask, but she didn't because that smile of his gave her shivers.
After a few minutes of adjustments, Kisuke and Le Fay were finally able to extract Benihime along with a cold black coffin that exuded a dense Demonic Power.
But along with it, something also awakened in the deepest part of the Gremory Castle.
