Capítulo 415: Entering the Soul Space

After eating their lunch, Riveria was able to get a hold of herself and thought, 'Whenever they are involved, I always lose my nerves... And it feels like it's happened more than in my whole life as an Adventurer.'

Kisuke then invited Riveria and Ais to a private room to talk about what he found out about Ais's condition.

After serving them tea, Kisuke began. "Now then. Where shall I start?" Kisuke stayed silent for a moment and looked towards Ais before continuing, "First of all, here's what I found out. You're not exactly a Human but a High Spirit with flesh and blood."

Kisuke's first revelation put both Ais and Riveria instantly on the edge. They thought that her diagnosis will only involve Ais's general health and Kisuke will only look for anything wrong in her body. They didn't expect that Kisuke could instantly dig one of Ais's deepest secrets.

"How did you..." Ais muttered.

"Judging from your reactions, you already knew about this. Well, that isn't surprising. However, don't ask me how I knew of this. You asked me to do a full check up on you and I don't want to reveal my methods. You should have expected this in the first place."

However, the two of them couldn't just easily accept that. When Ais was still small, Loki and Riveria also brought her to Altena's most famous and top doctor to check her state. But all the said doctor found out that there's something wrong with her but couldn't find out what it was. Hence, when the mysterious man from the deeper part of the Dungeon said that Kisuke could help, they accepted it, wanting to solve this hidden issue.

Who would have thought that a low leveled man who came to Orario out of nowhere could easily see through not just Ais's hidden issue but her true identity?

Not minding what's on their mind, Kisuke continued, "With that in mind, I adjusted her overall physique based on the data that I gathered. It's not just the stasis that did some minor damage to her body, but also the imbalance of her existence being between a Human and a Spirit. After all, you're an unnatural existence."

Kisuke's last words made Ais incredibly nervous, "U-unnatural existence?"

Kisuke instantly figured out what she's worried about and reassured her, "You don't have to worry. You might be an unnatural existence, but you're not an artificial one. You're definitely a child between a Human and a High Spirit."

Ais let out a huge sigh of relief after hearing him but also tremendously mystified, including Riveria, on how he knew all of this.

Kisuke then smiled and asked Ais, "So? How do you feel?"

Ais first looked down on her fist and clenched it, "...I feel light. It's like a burden that I never knew disappeared."

"That's great~. By the way, I heard that you defeated the Monster Rex Level 6 Udaeus, but it seems that you haven't leveled up."

Ais nodded, "I want to try harder." She said while thinking about Aika's words yesterday.

"Is that so. Then we're done here. Go home and adjust yourself. Don't mindlessly enter the Dungeon and ask someone of the same level to have a spar with you. Instead of overall strength, it should be your control that should improve."

Ais nodded and accepted his instructions. Since Aika's words which she took to the heart apparently came from him, she felt at ease listening to him.

"Ais, wait for me outside. I have a few things to talk about in private." Riveria said after seeing that they're finally done.

Ais nodded again and stood up. However, just as she was about to exit through the door, Kisuke called out to her, "Please wait."

Ais looked back at him with confusion and also a bit of nervousness due to not knowing what else this man would say, "...Yes?"

Kisuke smiled wryly and thought that he scared this little girl too much, "Don't look like that. It's nothing too serious. I just want to give you a piece of advice. But first, let me ask. What is your goal?"

Ais became serious at his question and recalled her past and how she was left alone due to a certain monster, the dragon that took everything away from her, "To get stronger. Stronger than anyone." She said with great conviction. Since no one could defeat that dragon, she has to become stronger than anyone in the Lower World.

Kisuke nodded solemnly, "I see." He then stared at her with the same seriousness, "Then here's my piece of advice. You would become happier if you don't get stronger."

Ais and Riveria were both shocked at his words and somehow knew that he wasn't lying or joking this time. However, Ais still shook her head.

"Achieving a goal or a dream doesn't always mean a happy ending, especially when you don't know what you're tossing away to achieve it." Kisuke continued, trying to dissuade her.

With another shake of her head, Ais said, "No. I can't do that." She then exited the room without waiting for any follow up from Kisuke.

Kisuke only stared at her leaving back and once she disappeared from his sights, he stood up and picked up a bag from the corner of the room before walking back towards the still dumbfounded Riveria and passed it to her, "Inside here are some books about Magic that I wrote personally. Study it. I'll be busy for a few more days so I can't entertain you."

"O-okay." Riveria received the bag.

"Go follow her before she does something stupid." Kisuke urged her.

"G-got it." Riveria then ran towards the door but she stopped and looked towards Kisuke, "Why did you say that to her?"

"Because I think that's what's best for her. And you should look after her carefully, or at this rate, only a tragic ending awaits her." Kisuke replied simply.

Riveria didn't know how to take those words, however, she answered, "I've always done it and I have no intention of stopping." She then left to follow Ais while thinking, 'What does he know? What did he discover?'

Kisuke sighed after the two of them left and recalled what happened an hour ago while he's examining Ais's soul after he adjusted her body and Mana.

After sealing his soul and entering her inner world so that he wouldn't contaminate anything in her soul, Kisuke found himself in a world of full of grass, except for a certain spot where it's devoid of any life except for the woman with the same features as Ais but has sharper eyes and a more mature feeling.

The woman's eyes are closed and her hair is blackened from the tips while the smoke of black corrosive aura covers her entirety. Feeling that someone uninvited entered her precious daughter's most important space, the woman opened her eyes and glared at Kisuke, "Who're you!?"

28th00's naughty(Why is it naughty now?! I don't make these additions!) Corner

28th00: Well, that's very lewd! Entering a young girl's most important space while she's asleep!? What a TRAVESTY! The fact that her mom is inside it too, means you got caught… soul handed? Close enough.

Garan: This is not a safe space …. Starts invasion

Alexander: Now it's getting interesting. There are only two ways to move forward. Either a spanking for the pervert or a cup of tea for the first meeting with her future son in law.

28th00: A bit too early for Ais my dude, at least wait till she's Aika's age… She's 13 or 14 atm after all.

Goyya: I think she's sixteen now. By the way, this corner would be a lot funnier if people could see the colors of the edits.


Capítulo 416: Aria

Instead of answering the woman's question, Kisuke looked around to make sense of his surroundings, 'I didn't think I could enter this place, this easily. That means that this place's security has already been compromised long ago.'

The woman didn't ask a second question and just glared and watched Kisuke's action carefully. No matter what he does, she actually can't do anything as she's already suppressing something and that thing would use any chance it could get just to get away from her.

If that were to happen, then Ais and those around her would be in extreme danger. She could only hope that this intruder wouldn't do anything to endanger her daughter.

After a few more minutes of looking around, Kisuke then focused on the decayed spot and the woman in the middle of it, 'This spot doesn't seem to be caused by that woman.'

Kisuke then flashed a smile and introduced himself, "Good day, miss. I'm Kisuke Urahara. A girl named Ais Wallenstein, who's the owner of this place, asked me to do some check-up for her."

The woman's eyes widened in shock when Kisuke suddenly introduced himself and asked, "Are you aware where we are right now?"

Kisuke nodded and answered while also asking, "My patient's inner world. So I wonder, in a place where there should be no one and be a fairly secured place, why does this spot exist? And why is someone else in here?"

The woman sighed and told him the truth, "Well, even if you wanted to destroy this place, I can't do anything about it. It's my family's bad luck that we encountered something like this after a thousand years."

"Family, is it? I see... Since you're a High Spirit, and you have Wallenstein-san's splitting image, is it safe to assume that you're her mother?"

The woman smiled and introduced herself, "Hi~. Nice to meet you. I'm Ais's mother, Aria. Thank you for taking care of my daughter~."

Kisuke could only smile wryly in response, "Hey, how could you be certain that I won't do anything bad in here?"

Aria, while still smiling happily, "I may look young, but I'm at least 1,500 years old now. So it's easy for me to see through some things, especially in this space where every expression is amplified."

"Still, you're too trusting. I could have a way to block these amplifications and you don't know about it." Kisuke shook his head.

"Either way, I can only put my trust in you." With a solemn smile, Aria answered.

'I guess she can't really do anything, huh.' Kisuke thought and said, "Mind telling me your story?"

"Will you help?" She suddenly asked.

"No." And Kisuke instantly answered.

"No matter what?"

"..." Kisuke became slightly conflicted because he has a feeling that even if he declines now, he would still get involved in the future. And even if it's not him, his girls would, 'I guess it would be better to gather some information now and do some countermeasures instead of getting caught off guard in the future.'

With that in mind, Kisuke sighed, "Let me hear about it first."

Despite the gloomy and decaying aura around her, Aria smiled happily, "I would only ask you to take care of my daughter."

Aria then started her story. Around a thousand years ago, when Gods have just started descending and monsters still ran rampant on the surface of the earth, the Zeus Familia was thriving and vanquishing monsters previously known as undefeatable left and right.

"I'm a member of that Familia and its Vice-Captain. Along with the Captain, which was my husband, Albert Waldstein, we were the only Level 9s of that time while our other party members were all Level 8s."

"We defeated so many monsters that we were able to retake some land for the people and managed to push them to several remaining places. The most notable of the monsters we defeated were the Behemoth and the Leviathan that required all of us to join forces just to defeat them."

Aria then put on a smug face and bragged, "Everyone was questioning why we were so strong, but it was actually a very simple thing and we were always saying the same thing. 'We don't take skills for granted.' My husband and I didn't even receive skills from the Falna and just created our own Art. While I had it easier due to my nature as a Spirit, Albert had to work very hard to polish his swordsmanship that was said to be capable of cutting everything~!"

"However, only a few people believed us and it became an issue that time that almost everyone was accusing us as liars because they couldn't emulate what we have been doing."

Thinking that Aria just gave Kisuke a clue on how to get stronger, she changed the topic, "But enough of that" Aria's smile then became gentle, "It was just after we defeated the Leviathan that a miracle happened. It was probably due to the blessing of multiple Goddesses of Marriage and Birth, especially Hera-sama that this miracle occurred, a child was born between a Human and a Spirit. Ais came into our lives."

"We continued our lives of being Adventurers while also taking care of our little darling. Everyone from the Zeus Familia also considered her as their daughter and Zeus stood as her grandfather and would happily play with her every day."

"But everything changed when that monster appeared. Similar to the Behemoth and Leviathan that led an army of monsters that almost decimated everyone, but also different from every one of them, and also the most intelligent among them, the Black Dragon."

"Instead of just having a single very strong ability, it has two. First is its destructive power, the power of Decay in the form of black wind and the second one is the more dangerous one of the two, Control."

"Control?" Kisuke asked while furrowing his brows. He can understand decay and he can guess where this spot came from now, but control? To what extent and how strong?

"Yes. And it's the reason why we weren't able to defeat it." Aria sighed, "The Gods described it as something forbidden that shouldn't exist as it controls the soul itself."

"Soul..." Kisuke frowned. He doesn't like where this story is going.

"Yes. It's hard for it to control stronger individuals, but those weaker, Level 4 and below are just additional army for it. We could have defeated it with the force we had back then, but it managed to figure out and get mine and my husband's greatest weakness."

"...And that is Ais." Kisuke guessed.

"Yes," Aria answered solemnly.

Editors and Author's Corner:

Goyya: Is it fine to reveal such an important plot point this early? Either way, I gotta speed things up. Kisuke's preparation is nearly done.

Alexander: That depends on what you make out of it. But, this can become an important part of Kisuke's preparation for the grand final. So, I am fine with it.

28th00: I think it's fine since it makes the earlier soul magic debacle with Loki seem a lot more comprehensible now. It also explains why the development of anything soul related outside the Falna is literally not touched upon.
