Volume 2 Chapter 53 - The Bet

"Now that is out of the way, Aika-chan, call your parents and tell them that you would have to stay the night here. There's still a lot of things that you need to know, and Koneko will help you into that." Kisuke sighed and gave his instructions to Aika.

"Stay the night? You wouldn't do anything unspeakable to me, right?" Aika covered her not so modest chest and glared at Kisuke.

"Nope~ Not interested." Kisuke grinned at her.

"It's more annoying if you put it that way," Aika pouted and muttered in low voice. Kisuke and the rest, of course, heard her as Aika still don't know anything about their superhuman senses, but they still decided to ignore it.

This time, however, Ophis suddenly stopped eating and stood up. Kisuke knew that she has to go and said with a smile, "You can come back for more sweets."

"What? What's going on? Ophis-chan is leaving? I haven't had enough of my Ophinium!" Aika shouted like her suspicious dealer is leaving too few of her stuff.

Ophis stared at Kisuke for a moment, without saying anything, she disappeared from her position leaving only some black particles that only stayed for a few seconds. Kisuke actively scanned his surroundings but didn't find anything out of place. She teleported outside of his perception. He wanted to put a tracker on her but decided against it as the advantages are too little than the disadvantages.

"So, what do we do now?" Sona asked and looked at the clock. It's already 8:00 PM.

"We'll have a pajama party!!!" Kisuke declared, raising his fan in the air.

"…" Everyone didn't know how to react.

Except for Yoruichi, "You just probably wants to see everyone in their pajamas."

And Kisuke didn't deny it, "Damn right."

"Is there a cure for his head?" Aika asked everyone else blankly.

"Maybe we can try slamming his head to the wall repeatedly until he reaches enlightenment?" Koneko and her overly violent suggestion.

"Nice! I like that idea. We can also try tying him up and dropping him under the ice caps of Antartica, it'll let his head cool down… probably." And Yoruichi whose suggestion isn't much better.

"I'm sorry that my son has some screws loose. As his mother, I should have tightened them a bit when he was young." Sakura couldn't look at her son's antics.

"T-these people are harsh." Kisuke can only say that.

"I'm sorry to break your fun, but I won't be joining you. After playing a chess match with him, I'm going home." Sona interrupted them and laid out her plans.

"Come on Kaichou, I know that you won't be satisfied with just a match. You can use your magic to conjure your pajamas."

"Hoho… Do you think that I'm going to play multiple matches with you tonight? Interesting, let me remind you that I only let my guard down the first time. I won't be defeated by those tips and tricks that you learned through internet tutorials." Sona for the first time research tips and tricks to play chess on the internet and made a compilation of it inside her head. These tips and tricks can only win against those who let their guard down and she won't be doing that this time around. She chuckled at the thought of finally getting back against the hateful pervert, though she didn't voice it out, 'I wonder what I should ask for our bet?' She has a small smile on her face, already anticipating Kisuke's miserable expression.

Due to Kisuke's constant teasing and annoyingness, and all these people who are on the receiving end of his pranks want to see him fell down from his pedestal. This is especially true for the girls present today, they are thinking of things that normally don't cross their minds.

"Well then, let's have a match." Kisuke took out a set of chessboards from his inventory and place it on the center table of the living room.

"Before we begin, I'd like to discuss this time's bet." Sona sat down opposite of Kisuke and fixed her glasses.

"Sure, you can go ahead first." Kisuke readily agreed while he sets up the board.

"First is my photos in your holding and to swear to never spread or use it.

"Second, I'm taking back the right to wear a costume and be photographed in it that you got away with last time.

"Third and the last is for you to accept my invitation to become my 'Knight'."

Sona stopped speaking and waited for Kisuke.

"I'm fine with that, my condition this time is, first, I want everything you witness and heard the moment you stepped into this house a secret." This became Kisuke's priority as he didn't want any information leak yet due to his knowledge still lacking.

Sona's eyebrows furrowed at his first condition. But she understands where he is coming from and it isn't an unreasonable condition even more so that this is a Devil contract binding.

"Second is information." And this is Kisuke real intention after accepting Sona's rematch.

"Information? My clan has accumulated thousands of years of information, but if you're aiming for secrets and only those available for High-Class Devils, then I can't grant you wish. Though I'm not saying that I'll lose to you."

"Basic information is fine. Magic, Senjutsu, Youjutsu, and other techniques that are rarely available for public but pretty common for Middle-Class and up. Also, information on common sense for your societies, Angels and Fallen Angels included."

"Hmmm, that isn't much, so I guess that's fine. I believe that you already laid out everything you want?" Sona thought for a bit and agreed, while the techniques and skills are the family's property it isn't hard to access it if it's for Middle-Class and below. As for information on common sense, it's publicly available in Underworld for visitors from other planes.

"One last thing."

"What is it?"

"I want another voucher to photograph you while wearing a different costume."

"Wha-!? Grrr… Fine." Sona greeted her teeth and replied, she already promised herself that she won't lose.

"So this bet is where Kisuke almost becomes a Devil?" Aika asked out loud while watching from the side.

"Kiryuu-chan, call your parents first. They're probably worried about you." Sakura reminded her.

"Ah, I forgot. Thank you for the reminder aunty, but please call me Aika." Aika thank Kisuke's mother for the reminder and also used this chance to get close to her. She became gustier after the events she went through just now.

"Alright Aika-chan, just hurry up." Sakura easily agreed and urge her to make her call.

"I'll use your yard to make a quick call." Aika stood up and walk towards the exit.

"Why not just here?"

"U-Uhm… My parents are probably going to scold me and I don't want any of you to hear it as it may become awkward." Aika explained, but her eyes were darting all over the place.

Sakura noticed this and said, "I'll speak with them for you and explain that you would be staying the night, that way, they won't scold you anymore… at least not as hard."

"It's fine Aunty! Even though they scold me often, they also dote on me! As long as I properly explain to them, they easily agree!" Aika practically ran outside while saying this leaving Sakura behind and not having a chance to say more.
