"S-since when were you here?" asked Azazel with a twitching face.
"Since you told the former Exorcist-san to relax," replied Kisuke.
'From that time!?' Everyone shuddered yet again, especially the strong individuals so proud of their detection abilities.
Kisuke then faced Asia who was also beside him standing and holding a tea kettle, "Asia-san, thanks for the tea. It's delicious~."
Rias experienced a sense of déjà vu and asked Asia, "A-Asia!? Why didn't you say that he was already here?"
"K-Kisuke-san told me that he wanted to watch first…" answered Asia with a flustered voice.
"Don't blame her, okay~. I just wanted to look around first before formally speaking with you." Kisuke then started looking around, "But damn~, Issei, you've got a nice house renovation~. It even has an indoor pool!"
Hearing that, Serafall retorted, "Says the guy who can dig tens of cubic kilometers for an underground hideout, overnight."
Azazel and Grayfia reacted when they heard about the 'hideout' but didn't say anything about it. This wasn't the right time to discuss that.
Pushing forward, Azazel redirected the conversation, "So, where are the girls? Why didn't you come with them?"
Everyone became quiet, waiting for Kisuke's answer.
Kisuke first eyed Azazel and smiled, "As I've said, I came first to look around."
Understanding the underlying meaning behind his words, Azazel nodded, "I see… You wanted to see if we're going to trap you or something."
Serafall's eyes widened and looked at Kisuke, "Kisuke…"
Seeing that, Kisuke immediately corrected her conclusion, "Don't get it wrong, Serafall-sama. I trust you, but that doesn't extend to the other leaders. After all, whether I really did it or not, I'm still officially a wanted criminal."
Serafall heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that.
Azazel scratched his head and replied, "Fair point. So? Where are they?"
Clapping his hands, a green magic circle appeared in the living room. A second later, Akeno and Irina, still in their school uniform, appeared in front of everyone… Along with Ophis, "Oh, you came too?" asked Kisuke.
However, ignoring everything else, Xenovia ran towards Irina and hugged her while crying out loud, "Irina! Irina!" The relief of actually seeing her best friend in good condition opened the floodgates for her tears.
Similarly, Rias, Gasper, Asia, Yuuto, Issei, Barakiel and Dulio also ran towards them to check their condition and confirm that they are truly in a safe condition. Kisuke already told them that they shouldn't reveal what he did to their bodies as he already predicted that the leaders would be keeping this a secret.
Ophis, on the other hand, weaved through people and arrived at Kisuke, before sitting on his lap.
Those that didn't approach Akeno and Irina instead went to Kisuke as they had some more pressing matters to ask. Most of which are from the Student Council and Vali's team.
Tsubaki went in front of Kisuke and pleaded, "Urahara-san… Please tell us what happened to Sona-kaichou." Behind her were the rest of the Student Council, who are making similar faces of extreme concern. Although they already heard from Serafall that Sona was fine, they still wanted to hear it from the person who supposedly was with her, and if possible, see her.
Before Kisuke could answer her, Vali also stepped forward and said, "I'd also like to know what happened to Kuroka."
"Please wait!" Rias suddenly called their attention, "I would also like to hear about Koneko."
Kisuke was about to speak again but he was interrupted by Serafall, "Wait, Ki-tan! Before you say anything…" Serafall then activated a magic circle on the table in front of him and a hologram of two people that has uncanny similarities with Sona and Serafall came into view, "Please meet my parents~."
Seeing the man and woman with stern expressions, Kisuke instantly thought, 'Ah, they're older 'Sona's'…'
"Did you just think of something rude?" asked Serafall.
"No way that's the case~. I'm just a bit surprised." Kisuke then picked up Ophis and set her to the side before standing up and taking off his hat, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Lord Sitri and Lady Sitri."
Upon closer inspection, however, Kisuke noticed that Sona and Serafall's father was enduring something, 'An imbalance in the soul?'
"I've been meaning to meet you, Kisuke Urahara. I'm the current head of the Sitri Clan, Dylan Sitri and this is my wife, Cordelia." Lord Sitri introduced himself and his wife, "But enough about that. Where's my daughter?"
Kisuke sighed, "I know everyone is worried about the girls who're supposedly with me, but I can only say that they are safe and leading a good life."
Dylan furrowed his brows and asked, "Did you think we're going to be satisfied with just that? Where are they anyway and why are you the only one here?"
Kisuke closed his eyes and bowed slightly towards Sona's parents, "I can't really disclose too much to anyone, so I would like to apologize. All I can say is that due to a certain accident, we wound up in a strange place… A place that is very hard to reach and get out from. Even by myself, I almost died in my attempt to return to this place."
Kisuke then looked towards them again, "As of now, I can't let them take the same risk. Not until I can make sure that they won't suffer from any damage during our travel."
Everyone became silent at his words. They could tell that Kisuke was very serious with his statement and they have a feeling that he won't be revealing anything further.
"…Kisuke-kun." Cordelia suddenly spoke up, "…Is my daughter happy?"
Kisuke stopped to think for a moment before replying, "I would say she's happy, but I guess you can't really take my word for it." Kisuke knew that Sona's mother was only asking such a question to relieve her worries, however, even with Kisuke verbal confirmation, he can't really take away all of her worries.
At that moment, Kisuke thought of something, "Ah… That thing will work." He then took out two rectangular blue crystals. While one of them is very clean, the other one is full of lines inside it. On its surface, English inscription read as 'Record01'.
"What's that?" asked Serafall.
"It's something I made. I call it a memory crystal. It can record what's happening around it," Kisuke explained simply, before putting the two crystals together and a magic circle appeared in between them. A few seconds later, the clean crystal slowly became full of lines, the same as the first one and finished it with the same English inscription. But instead of 'Record01', it was 'Record01_copy'.
"Mind me sending this over to you?" asked Kisuke towards Lord Sitri and Lady Sitri as he lifted the 'copy' crystal.
Confused and suspicious, Dylan asked, "What will it do?"
"In here is a recording of our daily lives." Using the magic circle that manifested their hologram, Kisuke sent them the memory crystal. A second later, Dylan is already holding the crystal in his hand.
"How do you activate this?" he asked.
"It doesn't have any inscriptions so please just pour your Demonic Power in it to keep it activated." At the same time that Dylan activated the crystal on his side, Kisuke also activated what was on his hand and the surroundings suddenly changed.
Everyone in the room was suddenly dragged into a living room of another house.
