Chapter 59 An Affair

When Kisuke reached the living room, he saw another familiar face and greeted her, “Isn’t this the Vice-President, Good morning.~ Wait, it’s still morning, right?” He looked at the clock and confirmed that it’s still morning, but not for long.

“Good morning, Urahara-san. I’m sorry for intruding this early in the morning.” Tsubaki has a complicated expression when she looked and greeted Kisuke, but it’s understandable due to what happened to her master.

“And good morning to you too, Kaichou-san.~… What’s up with her?” Kisuke also greeted Sona who is eating her meal that is too late for breakfast, but also too early for lunch. Sona is directly looking away from Tsubaki while chewing her food. After seeing this, Kisuke looked back at Tsubaki and asked.

“What indeed, after greeting me one time, she hasn’t looked at my direction ever since.” Tsubaki is almost glaring at her master, her stare is putting an invisible pressure on her. Sona shoulder twitched a bit, but she didn’t say anything and continued on chewing her food silently still looking away.

“Urahara-san, just what did you do?” Tsubaki transferred her gaze towards Kisuke.

“Me!? You can’t blame me!” Kisuke shook his head exaggeratedly and feigned a hurt expression.

“Huh? What do you mean?” Tsubaki is confused at how Kisuke is acting and trying to think of a reason for his reaction.

“It’s the President! She’s too intense last night and didn’t let me go until early in the morning!” Kisuke cried out loud like he was a victim of a crime.

“What!?” This time, Sona finally reacted whipped her head towards Kisuke along with Tsubaki and shouted at the same time with a very surprised face.

“What are you saying!? You bastard!” Sona slammed the table with both of her hands as she questions Kisuke for his very questionable statement.

“You don’t remember? My ‘that’ went limp after you’re done with me.” Kisuke fake a cry and wiped it with his hand.

“P-P-President, Y-you ‘ate’ him? So you already accepted him. To think that you would climb the stairway to adulthood just from a single visit… President! I’ll support you no matter what your decision is! But you have to let the Lord Sitri, Lady Sitri, and Serafall-sama know about the apparent son-in-law of the clan.

“W-WRONG!!! IT’S HIS LEGS! HE’S TALKING ABOUT HIS LEGS THAT FELL ASLEEP WHEN HE SAT FOR TOO LONG!!! URAHARA YOU BASTARD! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY!?” Sona lost all her elegance and strictness as she shouts in defense. All that Kisuke can see is a little girl desperately trying to correct a misunderstanding because her crush might take it the wrong way, which is nice and he couldn’t stop himself from grinning.

Kisuke returned to his usual ‘my pace’ attitude with a grin still on his face. He sat down in front of Sona on the dining table. Kisuke looked at the prepared breakfast with a note saying, ‘Re-heat it before eating. Koneko and Aika are with me to do a little shopping. We’ll be back before lunch. -Sakura.’ Kisuke noticed that the Omurice is still warm and he looked in front of him to see the still fuming Sona, ‘She probably did it expecting me to follow soon after she came down.’ His smile grew larger and said, “What I’m trying to say is, you shouldn’t drag me in your games for too long. I can’t keep up with a Devil’s stamina. As for the misunderstanding, you’re on your own, I didn’t spit a single lie after all.”

Sona is glaring at Kisuke while gritting her teeth like she wants to eat him alive, “I’ll one day get you for this!”

“So you two aren’t having an affair?” Tsubaki asked blankly.

“No! This pervert isn’t worth it!” Sona threw her glace to her and objected fiercely.

“This is some peace and quiet you just mentioned.” Yoruichi jumped to the chair and commented.

“When I saw her acting all embarrassed and can’t look at her ‘Queen’, I couldn’t help but poke fun of her. I’m satisfied now.” Kisuke slowly eats his Omurice in relish.

“The cat is talking!!!” Tsubaki backed away in shock.

“That’s a nice reaction, little girl,” Yoruichi commented and approached the warm milk on the dining table and started drinking it.

“A Familiar? Who is the master?” Tsubaki inspected her closely as this is the first time she saw a small scale familiar that can talk, and he can’t feel any magical energies from her which confuses her more.

“It’s this damned guy’s familiar.” Sona is still gritting her teeth but she resumed eating her Omurice.

“I’ll put it out there, but I’m not Kisuke’s familiar.”

“That there is my partner for life.” Kisuke smiled gently at the cat who is trying to assert her dominance.

“Partner for life? Why are you talking about like he’s your lover? Could it be that on top of being a gay your also into bestiality?” Sona looked at him in disgust as she reached this conclusion.

Kisuke almost spat out the rice on his mouth but manages to stop himself, although because of that he was choking on food his food and had to grab a glass of water to relieve himself, “What are you saying!? Where are you learning this terms?”

Sona is gloating at his misfortune and wanted to laugh out loud because of her success in her revenge but stopped herself when she heard his last question. She just looked away with a bit of blush of her face.

Seeing this, Kisuke said, “You shouldn’t go to that part of internet.” He warned her.

“I did not deliberately go there! I just stumbled upon it!” Sona tried to explain herself.

“Heh… What are you looking at before you stumbled upon it, I wonder?”

“… I’d like to exercise my right to remain silent.” Sona didn’t look at his eyes anymore and just continued eating her food. Although she could clearly feel the stare of disbelief from her Queen, “President…”

A few more excruciating minutes passed by as Sona hurriedly finish her food. After finishing her food, she stood up and took her plates to the kitchen sink, “Please pass my gratitude to Miss Urahara for the meal and letting me stay the night.” She said while trying to maintain her deadpan expression.

Kisuke also hurriedly finished his food and took it to the kitchen sink, “Sure, I’ll pass it. Are you leaving?”

“Yes, thank you very much for your hospitality.” Sona bowed slightly to express her gratitude.

“Your welcome. I won’t hold you back any longer as it looks like you still have a long day that awaits you.” Kisuke smiled at her genuinely this time. Because he’s not really a hard worker himself, and only do things that interest him, he really likes hardworking people like her and wouldn’t mind to assist her in some things.

Sona froze for a bit when she saw that smile as this is the first time she saw that kind of expression from him, all free from her usual casualness and ‘my pace’ vibe. A very kind smile that is almost unbelievable for a person like him. She had a feeling that he’s somehow complementing her for all the hard work that she is doing and felt a warmth that is similar to the warmth she experienced yesterday. She feigned a cough to free herself from petrification caused by that smile, but she still can’t hide the little blush she had with her deadpan face.

Even though Kisuke can somehow understand the demeanor of other people, but that’s only applicable for their motives and general intentions. As for the complicated feelings of a blooming maiden, he’s a beginner at reading it and his natural aura and attitude that he unconsciously releases when he is very sincere isn’t helping in any way. And miraculously, he’s not aware of it. The only one who’s aware of it is her partner who’s silently watching from the sidelines, ‘Another one, huh.’ Yoruichi was reminded of her student who holds some affection for him but never admitted it. And Kisuke never actually noticed it and just became confused at her actions sometimes thinking on a different line of possibilities.

Tsubaki, who is also silently watching from the side, took notice of Sona’s reaction, ‘As I thought, Sona doesn’t actually hate him or she’ll just disregard him. I wonder what attracted her to him?’
