Volume 4 Chapter 146 - Proposition
"…Pardon?" Cleria and Masaomi thought that they are mishearing things.
"You heard him right. He really likes asses. Mature women's asses." Yoruichi who's been quietly sipping on her coffee all this time spoke.
"Hey now… Don't reveal my fetishes. It's embarrassing." Kisuke scratched his head with a bashful smile.
"No. You just revealed it yourself. And you're not even trying to hide since back then. Try harder next time." Yoruichi pinched his cheek as she reprimands him.
"Nononono… That's not the problem! Are you saying that you can easily deal with a Goddess!? And Athena at that!?" Cleria wanted to slap down on the table but she remembered that Claire is already sleeping and stopped herself just before her hands hit the table. She knew that he can easily escape from a Super Devil who isn't serious, but she's questioning whether he's strong enough to play with someone who is as strong as the highest class Devil, 'He's indeed a genius, but is a decade enough to surmount that kind of gap in power level?'
Kisuke looked up and think for a moment before saying, "Maybe if I try my best?"
"Now you aren't sure!?" Cleria and Masaomi didn't what to think anymore.
"Isn't it just spanking her? I could do that if I really want to." Kisuke then gave them a perplexed look.
"Honey… Help me… I don't understand him…" Cleria looked to her side and thought, 'Am I the weird one here?'
"If you're going to ask me, who should I ask?" Masaomi shook his head not wanting to join in.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. He's just messing with your heads." Yoruichi reached out her arm again to pinch Kisuke's cheek.
"I'm n-"
"Shut it."
"Yes, ma'am!" With a glare from Yoruichi, he stopped talking, 'Is it really that hard to believe? Hmmph, watch me do that if I have a chance.'
Yoruichi sighed as she can't really change his hobby of bragging of things he can do that others normally can't. Although, that's also one characteristic of him that she loves, 'It'll only get worse from now on now that he won't hide his abilities anymore…'
"Ehem… Moving on… I'm not really against you getting involved with them but…"
"You're worried about your safety?"
"Yes…"
Kisuke stayed quiet and started calculating the pros and cons of letting Cleria and her family back to Japan, 'The real reason she's being chased around is not the fact she's together with an exorcist, but the fact that she knew about the existence of the King piece that the old-timers in the Underworld use to control the results and rankings of the Rating Game. It also seems that the Governor of the Fallen Angels is pushing for peace between the three largest factions according to Kuroka, so sooner or later they can't use the fact that they together to bring them harm to them. And most importantly, the kid needs to go to a normal school…'
"…Do you want to go back to Japan? Specifically, back to Kuoh Town." Kisuke figured that he could just disguise them and let them leave near their house. He also thought that Cleria and his mother, Sakura would get along pretty well if he introduces them to each other, 'If they're discovered, I can just use the data in Koneko-chan's hairpin to blackmail some of the old-timers. It's impossible for the small branch family of the Naberius House to conduct such experiments on their own after all. A few old fogies should have supported that project secretly and researching 'weapons of mass destruction' won't do any good for the current Underworld as they can't afford another civil war breaking out.'
"…What?" Both Cleria and Masaomi could only stare at Kisuke blankly.
"You heard me. So? What will it be?"
"… But we're still wanted. Even if we can hide, it won't be for too long as Kuoh Town is a Devil's territory." Cleria and Masaomi are both happy because their daughter could live a better life there. If it's just their daughter, then they can just grit their teeth and let her go so that she can experience things that any normal child could. But Kisuke is talking about bringing all of them.
"I can disguise both of you."
"Appearance is easy to disguise but my Demon Power and Masaomi's Holy Power are hard to hide."
Kisuke didn't speak and just tapped Yoruichi's shoulder. After a few seconds, Cleria and Masaomi's eyes widened in shock, "H-how!?"
What Kisuke did is deactivate the concealing effect of Yoruichi's dress temporarily and with another tap from him, Yoruichi's aura and energy signatures changed, "Give a day or two and I can make a compact version like a bracelet with similar effects."
"… H-How?… Haahh… Nevermind… It's your technology and I can't pry on that." Cleria let out a big sigh while holding her forehead. They only met twice but both times put a toll on Cleria's and Masaomi's common sense.
After nursing her headache, Cleria looked at Masaomi and held his hand under the table. Masaomi also did the same and tightened his hold on her hand. They nodded at each other and turn their faces back to Kisuke who is waiting for their answer. But instead of answering him, Cleria asked, "Why are you doing this? Please don't take it the wrong way. We are very grateful for your offer and easing our worries, but what do you get from all of this?"
"Just a few things actually. But the biggest reason is Yoruichi and I just like the kid. As simple as that." Although what he said is the truth, letting her meet his mother is one of his goals as she's from Belial House and he might get some answers from this meeting and he heard from Kuroka that the Belial House is most famous for their affection for their family members. He wanted to confirm that and maybe pull the Belial House to his side.
"That's…" Cleria wanted to say something else but stopped herself and shook her head. She then stood up along with Masaomi and the two simultaneously said, "Thank you very much. We will never forget this kindness." while bowing.
"Don't thank me. As I said, I have other reasons but I won't tell them to you. It might be a bad thing for you, you know." Kisuke gave them a large grin.
"But we trust you… Almost blindly. So it's up to you to break it." Cleria answered with a smile while Masaomi just laughed loudly which earned him another knock on the head from Cleria, "Claire will wake up!"
"I better take care of that trust then. So here is the thing, if I get involved, use this teleportation circle to escape back to Japan. Don't use it until you have my toys though." Kisuke passed them a bond paper with a complicated magic circle drawn on it.
"Why is this overly complicated?"
"To keep away trackers."
