Ophis

It was Sona's turn to be confused, "What do mean? You probably don't know, but I'm a high-class Devil, even though I don't specialize in mind control, someone on the same rank as me with that kind of skill can easily manipulate everyone here. It's not that I'm underestimating you, but although I'm surprised at your ability to distinguish auras at an unbelievable level, you're still a human and I can't feel any indicative feeling that you're very strong. It's also the same as that little girl. I don't know how she suddenly teleported here, but there are some humans with similar inborn abilities."

"If I were you, I wouldn't put my trust so much on my sensing abilities right now. Your instincts are screaming at you, right?" Kisuke answered her with a serious tone.

Sona stops and thinks again. Kisuke is right, even though she can't feel any pressure from the little girl, something inside her is telling her to be wary of the girl. Sona always trusted her judgment, but seeing Kisuke being serious for once, and also remembering his ability to sense aura, she heeded Kisuke's advice and focused on her instincts as a Devil right now. She didn't know why, but she had a feeling that she should trust Kisuke in this one, "Who is she anyway? A friend of yours?"

"Who knows? This is the first time I've seen her. I don't even know her name." Kisuke shrugged his shoulders and faced the little girl once again. Sona furrowed her brows again at his answer, 'He didn't know her, yet he taking her very cautiously earlier. Just what did he feel from her?'

The little girl already took back her sights from Aika and set it on him again. "You can call me Kisuke, what is your name, little miss?" Kisuke said to her while taking out another plate of cookies.

She tilted her and said, "...Ophis." She then grabbed the cookies to nibble. She hadn't had enough of it.

"Ophis-chan, huh. What a cute name.~ Do you want to try this pudding?" Kisuke took out a cold pudding and opened its lid. Ophis eyes' flashed, she now trusts Kisuke for giving her good food. Seeing that there is a new one, she couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Just where are you pulling out all of this stuff? And why do you have them?" Aika stood up, still nursing her forehead and asked while pouting.

"It's a separate space in stasis that I created using magic and it's very convenient. As for the sweets, they are for Koneko and Yoruichi's appeasement whenever I teased them too much." Kisuke replied while scooping the pudding with a teaspoon and feeding it to the excited little girl.

While this is all happening, Sakura and Sona is both thinking of the same thing, 'Ophis... Ophis... Where have I heard it before?' Then something flashed in their minds, '!? I couldn't be... right?' At this time, they coincidentally saw each other's eyes and noticed the latter's expression.

"Miss Urahara, could you be thinking of the same thing as me?" Sona first voiced out her concerns

"If you're asking me that, then it looks like it, after all not just anyone can have 'Ophis' as her name," Sakura replied with a gulp.

As for why Kisuke and Yoruichi didn't react to her name, it is because even though they have read the information about the 'Ouroboros Dragon' from Cleria's library, it's an obscure one and the name of the dragon was never mentioned.

"Then let's confirm it." Sona approached Kisuke and Sakura nodded at her.

Sona wanted to ask the little girl directly but when she saw her busy chewing and enjoying her pudding with great relish, Sona instead faced Kisuke and ask for a favor, "Can you ask what her race is?"

"Hmm? Ah, sure." Kisuke scooped another serving of pudding and Ophis opened her mouth, but Kisuke stopped his hand in midair and asked, "What is your race, Ophis-chan?"

When Sakura and Sona saw this, they shuddered and shouted simultaneously, "What the heck are you doing!?"

"Eh? Just asking?" Kisuke tilted his head at their reaction.

Ophis saw his hand stopped when he asked a question, she figured out that she has to answer to eat the pudding so she didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Dragon."

Kisuke ignored them and focused his attention back to the little girl who is anticipating the pudding in his hand, "A dragon? That's cool, here is your pudding.~" He then resumed feeding her.

"Why does it feel like you're training her like you would to a pet...?" Sona couldn't stop herself from retorting, but then she immediately remembered what she just said. Her thoughts halted and she faced Sakura, "Miss Urahara, do you know any other dragon named Ophis?"

"I only know one such dragon. How about you Miss Sitri?" Sakura can't take off her eyes from the little girl who is being played by her son.

"What a coincidence, I only know such one dragon too," Sona replied, also staring at Kisuke's antics.

Aika also approached the group and asked, "Dragon? Those giant liz- I mean those legendary beings? Those also exist?"

"There is a Devil in front of you, so a dragon isn't that surprising." Yoruichi also finished her milk and joined the conversation.

Aika thought for a bit and also approached Ophis, picked up a cookie and also started feeding her. Now that two people are feeding her, she also started chewing faster and happier.

'This is a dragon? I kinda want one.' Aika cleaned her cheeks with her handkerchief while thinking such a thing.

Sakura and Sona, who is watching from the side, have their backs drenched in cold sweat while watching them, but they didn't say anything as they don't know how would Ophis react, 'Is that really the Ouroboros Dragon? Maybe we're wrong?'

Yoruichi noticed their nervous expression and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Uhm, Yoruichi-chan. Doesn't the name Ophis ring a bell to you?" Sakura asked Yoruichi hesitantly.

"Hmm? No, how about you, Kisuke?" Yoruichi shook her head and asked her partner.

"Me? First time I've heard of it." It was unknown when Kisuke took out a bunch of different desserts for Ophis, and He and Aika are now competing who the little girl will choose to eat from by employing various methods to attract her attention. And surprisingly, Aika is taking the lead. "Kuh... So this is the rumored girl power. I'm no match for that."

Aika finally regained her smug face and directed it to Kisuke in full glory, 'I finally won against this bastard.'

Meanwhile, Koneko, who is forgotten, is sneaking some cookies for herself, but Ophis noticed her, so Koneko has no choice to feed it back to the little girl 'cause she got scared at the pressure she is emitting.

"Ophis-chan, sharing your happiness with others can also make you happy," Kisuke said some nonsensical thing, but Ophis took it seriously as naive as she is.

She looked again at Koneko and thought for a bit, Ophis then picked up a cookie and imitated what Kisuke was doing, putting the cookie in front of Koneko's mouth. Koneko didn't think much of it and just took a bite. She smiled as she finally got her snack.

Ophis has a strange feeling, but it isn't a bad one, so she continued feeding Koneko trying to figure out what she is feeling. Now we have a strange situation where, two perverts are competing to feed the gothic lolita girl, while the lolita is feeding a catgirl.

Sakura and Sona, who is relatively normal and aware of who the little girl is, are speechless.

Sona couldn't hold back anymore and asked Kisuke, "Urahara-kun, do you know something about the Ouroborus Dragon?"
