Volume 5 Chapter 263 - A Successful Story
While Serafall is transferring the money to Kisuke using her smartphone, the rest approached Kisuke's 'stall'.
Since all of Sona's photos are already taken by Serafall, there are only a few pieces left and Kisuke's intended target is the men of Gremory Household. And as Rias took a peek at the rest of his merchandise, she was frozen on the spot and terrified to the core. The rest of it is photos of herself, "W…What the hell is this…?"
Kisuke then pointed at the unmoving Rias and said, "Employee #1 and #2, hold her tight."
From behind her, two figures instantly appeared and grabbed each of her arms, "W-What!? Kiryuu!? Koneko!? What are you doing!? Let me go!? I have to destroy those things!!!" Rias shouted as she recovered and tried to resist.
"I'm sorry, Gremory-senpai. This is our duty as his employees." Aika feigned a regretful face.
On the other hand, Koneko is making a more genuine regretful expression, "I'm sorry, Buchou. But this is the only few instances that Kisuke-senpai can actually make some money. Please bear with it for our livelihood."
"What livelihood!? I'll take care of it no matter how many years, so let me go!"
"An enticing offer. Too bad for you, though, as we can't leave that charming idiot." Aika chuckled in response and dragged her away, while Koneko only nodded silently and did the same.
Zeoticus and Sirzechs first made sure that Rias is safe and after confirming it, they also approached Kisuke's stall. When they laid their eyes on his merchandise, they lit up and instantly decided that they'll purchase it no matter what.
"What do you think about my Rias Gremory series?" Kisuke asked with a grin, "If you can't choose then I'd recommend you this." Pointing on certain photos, he explained, "The [Rias' Lethargic Afternoon Classes Set] which consist of three photos. The [Yawning Rias], [Sleeping Rias], and lastly, the [Almost Falling off the Chair Rias]!"
Rias heard everything from the distance and shouted, "What the hell was that!!? And when did you took it, you crazy bastard!? Besides, that's illegal! I'm suing you!"
Issei is also staring at Rias' rare moments that are impossible to catch due to how high her guard is around other people, "Don't worry, Buchou! I'll use all of my savings to get these photos of you!" He is naively thinking that Kisuke won't price Rias' photos like Sona's for the possible repercussions that he would incur from her father and brother. After all, he knew that they are different from Serafall.
Sirzechs crouched down and took a closer look at these photos, "Why are those photos Serafall bought so expensive?"
Kisuke's smile didn't break and answered, "Because it won't appear from my store again~."
Sirzechs and Zeoticus looked and nodded at each other. Sirzechs then looked back to Kisuke and asked, "How much is all of this?"
"230 million Yen ($2,104,781). But for you, I'll take out 30 million Yen ($274,536) from it~!"
Everyone blanked out when he called out the price and the first one to react is Issei, "What!? Kisuke! Why don't you just rob the bank! It'll be easier!"
Kisuke ignored him and only looked at Sirzechs who's furrowing his brows, "The reason why it's so expensive is that there is an additional service that you might like."
"…What service?"
"You'll have the right to purchase Rias Gremory's photos first whenever they are available~! Of course, for regular price! So, how is it?"
Sirzechs face became more serious and said, "Give me everything you have!"
"Alright~! Thank you for your patronage~!"
Off to the side, Serafall has already finished transferring money and saw Rias' photo and pouted, "Ki-tan! All I have are Sona-chan's cosplay photos. I also want those embarrassing photos!"
"E-embarrassing…" Rias, who heard it clearly, almost lost her consciousness.
Kisuke's face crumpled and he hesitated, "I do have one… But it's pretty rare…"
Determined, Serafall immediately replied, "I don't care about money!"
As if it's a lie, Kisuke's hesitating face melted and was replaced by a bright smile. He took out a paper and passed it to her, "Here is [Sona-chan Drooling while Sleeping] for 50 million Yen ($457,561)~!"
"I'll take it~?!" As she said, she doesn't care about money and immediately tried to grab the paper in Kisuke's hand to take a look at it. But before she could touch it, a spear of water suddenly went through it and obliterated it. They all looked at the source and saw Sona panting hard with her arm stretched out, "You bastard! It's really not a good idea to leave you alone with Onee-sama! And where did you get that!?"
"It's that night when you didn't let me go to play your chess games. I figured that I had to at least get something." Kisuke replied to her.
"M-my [Sona-chan Drooling while Sleeping]…" Serafall, on the other hand, is still shaken and blankly staring at the pieces of paper on the floor.
"Ah… Don't worry about. That's actually a blank paper. Here's the real deal." Kisuke patted her shoulder and gave her a photo of messily dressed and sleeping Sona with an obvious trail of drool from her mouth.
"I love you, Ki-tan~?!" Just like the first time they met, Serafall hugged her in gratitude.
This time, however, Sona wouldn't let it go the way they wanted it and slowly walked towards her sister, "Onee-sama… Please give that to me…" Unlike her bashful self earlier, she's now looking at Serafall with a cold glare.
"S-Sona-chan? That's the first time I've seen that face of yours… Are you okay?" Since this is the first time Serafall received that kind of look from Sona, she got scared.
Smiling coldly, Sona replied, "I'm fine, but I'll be a lot better if you had that over~."
Kisuke wanted to do something but he saw Yoruichi moving beside Sona and wrapped her arm around Sona's shoulder, "Now, now. Calm down."
"No! I can't let this go!"
"Then how about this." Yoruichi then took out a photo from her inventory and put it in front of Sona so that she'll be the only one who can see it, "10 million Yen ($91,512)~."
When she saw the photo, Sona did her best to keep a poker face, however, she couldn't help but do a big gulp. The photo depicts Kisuke who just came out of the bath drying his hair with only a small towel wrapping around his waist which highlighted his incredibly toned abs. In other words, a sexy photo of Kisuke, "Is there a 'sister' discount?"
"Then I'll give it to you for 5 million Yen ($45,756)."
"Deal!" Sona hurriedly secured the photo and kept it in her uniform to enjoy later. Facing back everyone, Sona bid her farewell, "Well then, everyone. I still have some arrangements that I have to attend. I hope you all have a good day." Without waiting for anyone, she turned around. She's afraid that if Kisuke sees this photo, he'll confiscate it.
"What was that?" Kisuke curiously asked Yoruichi who walked back.
"Nothing much~. Just think of it as a wife thinking of a way to help her husband with her business." Yoruichi chuckled and didn't say anything else further.
Although curious, it doesn't really matter as he trusts Yoruichi. However, just as he was about to take out Asia's clumsy photos for Issei to buy, he suddenly felt something, 'She destroyed my decoy? She's getting pretty good.'
"I'm sorry everyone, but that would be all for today. Until next time~." Kisuke then suddenly said his goodbyes and used Flash Step the moment he spoke his last word.
A split second later, a bolt of lightning dropped down on his former position and Akeno is seen running towards the crowd with an angry expression, "Damn it! He escaped again!"
Thus, closing the day of the Open House.
