Playing With Other Supernaturals

Issei led Kisuke towards one of the inner rooms and knocked on the door, "Gasper, it's me."

"Issei-senpai?" answered Gasper in the room and hurriedly opened the door. He was about to say something when he saw Kisuke and exclaimed, "Kisuke-senpai!? Are you here to treat Valerie!?"

"Yeah. I'm here for the lady Vampire. Please show her to me."

"This way please!" Gasper then led them towards the currently unconscious Valerie. Valerie was a young woman with short blonde hair and red eyes, a common feature among the Vampires. Since she had a Sacred Gear from birth, she's half Human and half Vampire making her the same as Gasper, a Dhampir.

Kisuke looked at her for a minute before turning his attention back to Gasper and said, "Leave us alone for now and join the rest."

"W-will you be able to treat her?"

"Of course. You can talk to her later."

Gasper's girly face brightened up and excitedly jumped, "T-thank you very much! I'll leave for now so that I won't distract you!"

"I'm coming with you," Issei also joined Gasper and walked towards the door. However, Kisuke suddenly stopped him, "Wait, Issei. I need you for something else, so stay."

"Ah, sure."

With that, Gasper left alone, leaving Kisuke, Issei, and the unconscious Valerie in the room.

"So? What should I do? In case you forgot or wrongly assumed, I don't have any medical knowledge. That's not included in my training regimen," said Issei.

"Well, more specifically, I need Ddraig for something."

The back of Issei's left hand and the palm suddenly shone green and Ddraig's voice emerged, "Ho? What is it? Though I already have a clue to what you want."

Kisuke then took out the blade from his cane and said, "Sit tight for now. Let me deal with this first."

'Benihime, do the work for me.' asked Kisuke to his blade.

And he immediately got an answer, 'No.'

'Come on. Don't you want to know the full extent of your controls after the Hougyoku assimilated with both of us? This is a perfect chance to test that.'

'...' Benihime became silent for a moment before Kisuke heard a sigh, 'Fine... I'll humor you. I'm also a bit curious about my actual handling, so get to it immediately.'

'My~ Such a motivation to work~ I'd really like some of that~.'

'Shut it. I don't want to hear that from someone who would delegate the work to someone else but still get all the profits.'

'Please don't say that. This is only half of the work to get those payments.' Kisuke then suddenly thrust his blade downwards towards Valeries' c.h.e.s.t, stabbing her in the middle, 'Don't hurt her though. We're here to treat her and not make her suffer.'

"K-Kisuke!? What are you doing!?" Issei could only exclaim at his fast actions.

"Treating her, obviously," Letting his hand go, Kisuke turned to Issei with a confused expression.

"Don't give me that face and stop messing with me! Where can you find a doctor who stabs his patients in the c.h.e.s.t with a sword!?"

"One right here," Kisuke pointed to himself, "Besides, technically speaking, all doctors need to stab their patients during an operation, so your point is invalid."

"...And just leave it sticking out there?"

"...Well, maybe not."

Issei could only scratch his head in frustration when Ddraig started comforting him, "Don't think about his actions too much or you're only going to go insane. We've already established him as a nonstandard type of person, so just ignore his nonstandard actions."

Issei sighed and nodded, "How did I forget about that? Well, as long as Valerie-san is safe, then this is fine, I guess?"

Kisuke doesn't know if he should be happy or not that someone understands him, 'What a complicated feeling. I guess it's more fun to mess with other people's heads.'

Feigning a cough, Kisuke addressed Issei, "Issei, let me ask this, is it true that you were contacted by a being that introduced themself as Chichigami?"

"...Y-yeah... It seems like I caught its attention due to my love for b.r.e.a.s.ts," answered Issei awkwardly.

Kisuke's eyes widened and praised the Human and Dragon duo, "Whew~ So your pervertedness got boosted to such unbelievable levels that it caught the attention of some mighty being? As expected of the two of you. I'm impressed."

"Don't include me in it!" shouted Ddraig with a hoarse voice.

Ignoring his outrage, Kisuke asked Ddraig, "So Ddraig-san, were you able to keep some of the residual energy from the time Issei was contacted?"

"I already knew that you would ask for that, so here. Take it," a pink glowing orb smaller than a pinkies' tip emerged from Issei's left hand and floated towards Kisuke's side, "I gathered it because I thought I could use it for something, but failed to make use of it."

"Thanks. This is very helpful," Kisuke then took out a small glass bottle and kept the orb in it, "By the way, what do you think of that Chichigami?"

"Hmm... At first, due to its strange energy stream, I thought it was a very mighty being, but after calming down and thinking about it, it's not that powerful. But don't get me wrong. I think that being is stronger than the Heavenly Dragons. However, it's definitely still weaker than both Ophis and Great Red."

While listening to Ddraig, Kisuke was inspecting the orb through various methods and figured a few things out, "Hmm... From this, your estimation is more or less the same as mine. In addition to that, this being is most likely a spiritual one."

"Spiritual?" asked Issei.

"Yes. A being that doesn't have or need a physical body to exist. They can manifest themselves through their energy alone," Kisuke then faced Issei and said, "Issei, show me that new move you have. The mini Dragons that can use Divine Dividing."

"Alright," Transforming into his Balance Breaker form, Issei summoned one very small white Dragon through Albion's gem. On the surface, it had a similar aura as Vali but Kisuke examined it further. After a few minutes, Kisuke let go of it and sighed, "Haah... Well, I'm not surprised you didn't notice it. Yours and Albion-san's power were too overpowering."

"What did you find out?" asked Ddraig.

"One of the core components of making it possible to mix yours and Albion's directly opposing forces is this Chichigami's residual energy. Although it's only ever so slightly, thanks to it, the stability with this ability was reached."

"What!? To think it went through my senses... Damn it!" Ddraig lamented.

Kisuke then looked towards Issei, "Now, there's a problem with that. Whether it moved due to Issei's will or it moved on its own, the fact that unknown foreign energy is in between you two is a problem... Especially if it's the latter one."

"W-what should I do with this then? Isn't this too dangerous?"

"Don't worry. It's not that threatening. Both of you only need to find this residual energy and isolate it with this ability. Once done, you can monitor any changes in it. Though that doesn't mean you can't use this ability anymore, as it's a strong and very useful one. You just have to watch out so that this residual energy won't be able to infiltrate any further. And one last thing you have to remember is when using this ability, always have it in mind that it might not suddenly activate."

"As long as you two do those things and remember my warning, you should be good to go."

"Thanks. We'll do that," Ddraig replied before talking to Issei, "Issei, you have to practice your detection abilities more. It should be at least on my level."

"G-got it!"

"Great. Now on to the next topic. We might be in a graver situation than I initially thought." uttered Kisuke with a big smile.
