Volume 7 Chapter 345 - A Maou Shoujo and A Loli Dragon (DxD Side)
Serafall ignored the questions the other leaders are asking regarding the note that suddenly appeared from Kisuke's rift splitting spell by saying the same answer 'It says that Sona-chan is already safe and they will go in hiding for a while' over and over again. Everyone sighed at her stubbornness but they couldn't do anything. And just as they're about to discuss what just happened, in front of Serafall, a little girl in gothic lolita outfit appeared.
Everyone was stunned of the sudden appearance of the little girl and even more so when Serafall recognized her aura and muttered, "O-Ouroboros Dragon?"
"What!?" The three leaders simultaneously exclaimed, "What is he… wait, he's now taking a form of a little girl, so she? Anyway, what is she doing here?" Azazel asked and he also recalled that the last time he saw Ophis, he's taking a form of a middle-aged man.
Serafall couldn't answer his question until she noticed that the little girl is intently staring at the chocolate bars in her hands which made her recall the contents of the notes again. Picking up one of the chocolate bars, Serafall asked, "Want this?"
The other three leaders were dumbfounded at Serafall's sudden question. After all, the one in front of her is the Dragon God of Infinity which is feared by almost all and the leader of the terrorist group threatening the peace across the realms. However, contrary to their expectations, the feared dragon suddenly snatched the chocolate bar from Serafall's hand. She already learned from Kisuke that she couldn't take snacks without permission so she waited for Serafall to offer her the chocolate bar. Ophis then started looking around, however, seeing that there's really nowhere she could sit on, Ophis chooses the next best place where Kisuke's aura and scent are present, Serafall's lap.
The dumbfounded leaders how they should react at the supposedly transcendent and strongest being, silently nibbling her chocolate bar on the Devil King's lap.
"S-Serafall… How did you do it?" Sirzech asked curiously.
"I also don't know…" However, Serafall does know that it has something to do with Kisuke and she wanted to ask her where is the guy now but afraid to do so now as it might just reveal his location to others who're listening in, 'I have to ask her later.'
While the leaders are contemplating what should they do with this 'assault' of the Dragon God, Ophis stopped nibbling her chocolate bar and looked up to Serafall, "…Doughnuts? Cookies?"
Caught off guard with such a question, Serafall immediately answered without thinking much, "N-nothing… He just gave me those chocolate bars."
'Is this really that Ophis?' It is the question they can't answer. They would rather believe that she's just an innocent child who didn't get all of her snacks like she's promised.
Taking a deep breath, Serafall came into a decision and faced the other leaders, "Let's postpone the meeting for now. I have things that I have to do."
"What do you plan to do?" Sirzechs asked.
"Taking care of her," Serafall answered before disconnecting her magic circle with the rest without waiting for what they have to say.
"Ophis-chan, is it?" Without standing up, Serafall asked.
"Um," Ophis only nodded and kept on nibbling on her chocolate bar.
"…Where is Ki-tan… Kisuke Urahara?"
Ophis stopped eating and looked forward before speaking, "…Somewhere… Far… Very far… I, can't reach."
"…I see…" Serafall answered absentmindedly as she looked out of the window, 'For the Dragon God who can travel all the realms to say that… Just where are you…' Although what Ophis said isn't anything good, Serafall is positive that no one can find them and will be safe from their pursuers, 'I… At least should create a place for them when they return.'

Inside a certain house in the Belial Territory of the Underworld, four people are eating on the dining table. They're Sakura, Cleria, Masaomi, and Claire. They escaped to this place two weeks ago in accordance with Kisuke and Yoruichi's instructions. Thanks to Kisuke's disguising artifacts that we set aside in times of emergency, they were able to live peacefully with their time here.
"Still, How was he able to secure this place?" Cleria asked while eating the familiar of her territory's cuisine she hadn't had for years.
"Who knows? But I want to know what happened to him… I worried. I hope he's alright." Sakura sighed. She doesn't have much appetite these days.
"He's probably fine… That guy is terrifying, you know. I doubt they could actually land a hit on him." Masaomi tried to comfort his sister-in-law.
However, Sakura glared at her and said, "Don't call my cute son terrifying!"
Masaomi raised his arms in surrender, feeling the pressure from her glare, "I'm sorry!"
Giggling, Cleria chooses to help her husband, "Masaomi is right, Sarah. Kisuke is probably alright. Just imagine what more he can do when he was able to provide this place and seven other places for an emergency. He even gave us the way to contact big brother Diehauser discreetly. By the way, did you contact him already?"
Sarah nodded at her sister, "It's already been two weeks and we still haven't heard anything from him. I think he's in a place he can't leave or else, he would have visited us already. And I can't wait any more when I heard those rumors about a dangerous terrorist that killed the offsprings of noble Devil houses for a strange ritual named Kisuke Urahara."
Cleria furrowed her brows and became silent after remembering those rumors. It's obviously not true but they can't do anything about it and it's probably the main reason why Kisuke and Yoruichi asked them to escape. They have already foreseen this kind of result.
While Masaomi is entertaining Claire so that she wouldn't put attention to their conversation, a knocked suddenly resounded from the front door.
The three adults looked at each other before Masaomi escorted Cleria back to their room. Inside their private rooms are magic circles that would teleport them to another location and it's their means of escape if they needed to.
The sisters waited for Masaomi and Claire to leave before Sakura answered the door, "Who's there?"
"…I'm from the Belial house. Lord Diehause Belial sent me here to pass you a message." The hooded figure from the other side of the door spoke after a little bit of contemplation.
Hearing his voice, Sakura and Cleria looked at each other before they started giggling to themselves which confused the person outside. While wondering what's wrong, the door suddenly opened and Sakura, using her different face, greeted the hooded person, "I didn't expect that big brother Diehauser would sent himself to pass me a message~."
"Big brother? Who are you? Not just anyone can call me that." The hooded person furrowed his brows and tightened his guard, although her voice is somewhat familiar, he hasn't seen her before in his life.
"Oh? You already forgot my voice, big brother?" While asking, Sakura removed the bracelet on her right arm that is disguising her appearance. Once it was removed, Sakura returned to her former appearance, but instead of her usual pale blond hair and black eyes that Kisuke usually sees, her hair and eyes are now colored grey, which is the hereditary appearance of most of the people from Belial Clan.
It was only for his curiosity that he chooses to meet the person that claims that he had seen her cousin who disappeared long ago with her lover, Sarah. As for anticipation, he didn't have much as there are already countless reports of something like this and none of it turned out the truth. He came by himself since it came from the same person that claims that Kisuke Urahara and Sakura Urahara are related to Sarah Belial. Even though they have the same surname as the man who took away his cousin, Ryouta Urahara, there have been similar reports of those with the same surname but it turns out that only the surname is the same and not related to the man himself. So he couldn't just base it on the name.
He already helped the guy named Kisuke Urahara when he messed something up with the Rating Game between the Phenex and Gremory Houses since he wanted to investigate this claim. However, no matter how much he looks into not much info came out. The only substantial information that came is from those in Khaos Brigade as he heard something unusual which is Ophis protected him. And now that he was announced as a terrorist, he doesn't want anything to do with him and planned to uncover the person who sent him such information in person and deal with him.
However, he didn't prepare for what came next. Although, even if he prepared himself, he couldn't possibly saw this happening, "S-Sarah!?"
