"5-50,000!?"
"Yeah, but that's nowhere near enough. If possible, I'd like to have at least 100 million of these so that I could add other functions," Kisuke added, " Though I already have automated manufacturing in place, so I just need a few months to achieve this."
Serafall's mouth twitched and she felt her head starting to ache, "1-100 million? Isn't that too much? Where are going to get the materials to make all of that anyway? Do you have that much funds?"
Kisuke grinned before answering, "Outside of Earth, it's free real estate~! There are tons of asteroids out there. As for energy, it's dumb to solely rely on magical energy. Our great sun is there for that. On a side note, my work on converting natural energies into magical energy is also progressing well. So if I want to use mysticism in these pieces of equipment, I would be able to do so in the future."
Serafall couldn't say anything else and thought, 'I thought he was the same as Ajuka-chan and Azazel-chan... But it seems that he isn't just an expert at inventing magic equipment, but also capable of using just pure science. He's really got all his bases covered.'
"Well, enough of that for now... What's the plan? How do we start building your hideout?" Serafall changed the subject. She'd had enough for today.
Kisuke took note of the time before replying, "Hmm... Looks like it's done."
"...What is?"
Instead of replying, Kisuke went towards the totem and touched it. A second later, the totem floated up and the ground suddenly disappeared, revealing a four-meter wide hole, making the three of them fall below.
Of course, Ophis and Serafall didn't panic and the latter asked with a calm tone, "What's this?"
"Before we even came here, most of the work was already being done," Kisuke replied before grabbing Ophis' hand and accelerating downwards, "For now, let's go down."
The three of them went downwards for a minute or two, however, Serafall noticed that despite them having traveled for quite a distance, she didn't feel any fluctuations in the temperature, 'So he's already got everything prepared.'
A few seconds later and the three of them arrived in a very wide and very well lit place. Similar to his first hideout, the surrounding was that of a wasteland, however, it was much wider as this place was at least 8,000 cubic kilometers, almost 300 times larger.
"...W-what are you going to do with all this space? And where did you put all the soil that you churned out? Finally, you're also done stabilizing this place including the gravity? If I didn't know any better, I would think that we're still on Earth."
Kisuke first looked around and nodded in satisfaction, "Sometimes, I do some hazardous experiments, so I need some wide space so that even if a big explosion were to occur, it won't touch the other areas easily. As for everything within this space before, I compressed it and used that for the wall. It should be a good framework for further defensive barriers."
Serafall then gave him a dirty look, "The fact that you make big explosions sound like something normal in your experiments is already weird."
Ignoring her comment, Kisuke clapped his hands and said, "Alright~! Let's start building things! Sera-chan, I'll give you a space, so build anything you want. That's the same for you, Ophis-chan." He then started taking out a bunch of materials from his inventory, enough for everyone to play around.
Since Kisuke was looking forward to seeing Ophis' creations, he taught her a few ways to use the materials to build things. He knew that Ophis has already seen a lot of things so he's not worried that she wouldn't have any ideas on what to make.
After getting the idea, Ophis nodded enthusiastically and directly took over the center of Kisuke's new hideout.
Kisuke could only smile wryly at her actions, but didn't say anything else and went towards the northern side to build the necessary facilities to prepare for his departure.
Since Kisuke was kind enough to give her a space, Serafall also didn't say anything else and went south.
However, Kisuke could only complete the bare minimum of his facilities and Serafall was still planning what she wanted to build when they decided to assist Ophis in her sudden grand project, which was a castle that is bigger than the Devil Kings'.
When they asked why she wanted to build such a thing, she only answered proudly, "...Because I'm strong."
They ended up spending a whole day working on Ophis' castle and only its bare minimum without any sort of furniture inside. If they didn't supervise her, the Infinite Dragon wouldn't stop building towering castles.
Since it's already late, Serafall decided to go back, "When are you going to go?"
"As soon as my preparations are done, I'll be going. I can't leave them in that strange world for long," answered Kisuke.
"What about those who are here? Aren't you going to leave them too?"
Kisuke shook his head, "At least in this world, they have comrades and families that they can depend on. It's not the same over there, as we're technically alone in a world with vague rules."
Serafall looked down and muttered, "I see... Are you going to take Ophis-chan with you?"
"She's attached to me and I can't just leave her behind. Not after I promised that I'll be taking her in."
"That's true..." Serafall then smiled at Kisuke, "Well then~! I also have to prepare for some things so I'll be going first."
"Take care, Sera-chan." Kisuke then activated the magic circle to return her to Earth.
"You too. See you soon~!" A strange glint flashed through her eyes before she disappeared in motes of light.
'Hmm? What was that?' A strange feeling took over Kisuke when he saw Serafall's eyes before she left, 'What's she planning now?' Kisuke returned to his work with that question in mind.
He only returned a few hours later to have dinner with his mother and catch up on the things he missed during his time of absence. It was only at that time that Kisuke finally understood 'Mr. Hat'. He didn't expect that the hat that he'd left behind that day would become a mascot in a popular kids' show, 'No wonder those kids reacted that way when Ophis put on my hat...'
It was also there that Kisuke saw the castle of the antagonist which Ophis had modeled her castle upon. Kisuke thought that Ophis liked the magical girl Levia-tan, but he didn't expect that she'd get inspiration from her enemy, 'As expected of the former leader of a terrorist group, I guess?'
Two more days had passed and most of Kisuke's work was almost done, the rest could be left to the automated system that he'd made. Since he was finally free, he decided to visit his childhood friend, Issei, to check on his progress. The first time Kisuke had seen him again, he knew that Issei had taken a strange path and wanted to know what caused it.
However, when he arrived at Kuoh Academy, it was being besieged by Magicians, "...Is this their normal lives now? Looks pretty hectic."

28th00: Phis-chama is Queen of the Castle! She kidnaps princesses to her castle for sleepovers and snacks! Sera is planning to sneak along with them for her Vacation (It truly was a massive mistake to give her more freetime)! Kisuke is learning the horror of being a Shounen protagonist when you don't have a massive overarching plot (Bleach) to explain the 'why' of the random BS attacks from everywhere.
Goyya: The Demon Lord Ophis will open her business soon. What business you say? Saving lolis for the greater good.
The moment Kisuke returned to Earth, he immediately felt the disturbance and fluctuation of powers in Kuoh Academy, while a big barrier surrounded the whole town to defend from outside interference and ensure the safety of the normal citizens.
Kisuke immediately used flash step to arrive at the epicenter of activity and saw the Student Council, along with the Occult Research Club, fending off hundreds of Magicians that were attacking them. Strangely enough, Azazel, Rias, Issei, and Yuuto were not present, making it difficult for the rest to fight them.
Scanning his surroundings carefully without revealing his presence, Kisuke noticed some Magicians escaping with a crossdressing dhampir in tow and decided to intercept them. With another flash step, he arrived in front of the fleeing Magicians, "Who's there!?" One of them shouted.
However, Kisuke didn't bother replying and instantly cut off the arms that were holding the dhampir, "AHHHH!!!" The multiple screams of pain gathered the attention of the others and saw a man wearing a set of green Japanese clothing carrying a small dhampir on his waist.
"Kisuke Urahara!" Several individuals shouted his name.
The group of Magicians also turned their attention towards him and sent multiple waves of attack magic. In response, Kisuke just placed the dhampir who currently couldn't move due to a spell attached to him on the ground, and erected multiple barriers to block the attacks.
Due to this, the pressure on everyone lightened up and they were able to counter-attack properly.
The first one to approach Kisuke and Gasper was Asia as she tried to heal the latter, "Kisuke-san, thank you for saving Gasper-san." Asia bowed down to him in gratitude.
Kisuke smiled at her and replied, "Don't worry about it. But your group sure is attracting a lot of trouble."
Asia couldn't even smile wryly at his words due to the danger they were facing right now.
"By the way, where's Issei? Also Rias-senpai and Kiba-san. Azazel should be around too, just where are they?" asked Kisuke as he renewed the barrier around him.
Asia gritted her teeth and answered, "Azazel-sensei, Buchou, and Yuuto-san went to Romania to negotiate the peace treaty with the vampires. Issei-san, on the other hand, was forcefully teleported away while fighting a black dragon controlled by a strange man who came with the Magicians."
"Hmm... Is that so? Bad timing, huh? Or maybe they aimed at this precise time that they were not present," muttered Kisuke as he observed the battle, 'Those guys from the Student Council... I don't remember them having Sacred Gears. Are those the artificial gears from Azazel's research? They've come a long way.'
He also observed Akeno and Irina's performance on the battlefield, 'Now this is a surprise. They learned how to not use Ophis's passive strengthening ability. It seems that they knew the importance of keeping the information regarding their bodies a secret. However, they have to start using it soon or they'll be overwhelmed.'
Kisuke then turned to Asia and said, "With Issei, you shouldn't worry about him too much. He should be fine."
Asia then bitterly nodded at him.
However, a few moments later, the Magicians noticed that Kisuke, no matter what they sent his way, would only block their attacks and didn't initiate any counter-attacks himself. They then focused back on fighting the Devils and Angel, renewing and worsening the pressure on them yet again.
Asia also noticed them and started pleading, "Kisuke-san! Please help them!"
Gasper, who was finally well enough to speak, also pleaded, "P-please... Help them..."
But instead of moving, Kisuke asked, "And what? Save them from danger yet again? Are they going to need saving every time they're faced with difficulty? Not to be arrogant or anything and just so you know, back in the Underworld crisis, your group was no match against those from the Hero Faction. I already essentially saved you guys from back then and I'm not going to do it again because I'm not your babysitter."
Strangely enough, Kisuke's voice traveled to everyone from the Student Council and Occult Research Club, which created an itch deep within their hearts.
Continuing, Kisuke added with a bit of a smug face, "Koneko-chan, on the other hand, already progressed beyond what your group can do. After all, she's also now a plain believer of no pain, no gain, and learned how to take the necessary risks for herself."
"She might not have the greatest power, but she knew how to use her strength. She might not be the fastest, but she knew when to take an opportunity. Without comparing the overall power levels, in terms of battle experience, she's way ahead of all of you." Kisuke didn't mind what they thought of his words. On the contrary, he wanted them to get riled up, 'Well, Koneko's progress is largely thanks to Yoruichi and Kuroka's training. I won't say that though. Besides, they should also have received training from some people and it's undeniable that Koneko worked hard and took the proper risks to get stronger.'
"Look, although they are tons of them, not even one of them is very strong. In other words, they're just mobs with numbers. If Koneko-chan was here, this battlefield would be treated as a learning experience."
"In my opinion, only Issei comes close to her," added Kisuke. After watching them for a while, he figured that they indeed improved immensely during the two months he disappeared and they should have received the praises of others. He also heard the news of them defeating the strongest Young Devil's peerage which would inadvertently make their heads big.
However, if things progressed as they were now, Kisuke concluded that they'd sooner or later be overwhelmed. What they needed right now was not praise to uplift their egos or some motivational speech to push them to improve for their loved ones, they should have already received plenty of those, but agitation from being compared to whom they considered their equal before.
These words from him may be considered his kindness towards them.
And as Kisuke expected, those who knew Koneko personally started moving rashly, even those who'd only heard of her or only talked to her for a bit like Rossweisse, Xenovia and Irina, felt the heat from others and started moving with them.
Not only that. After calling them mobs, the Magicians became angry and started pouring out more attacks and some towards Kisuke, which made the situation even more volatile, 'Now this is more amusing and interesting~.' Kisuke thought.
However, not everyone got agitated with Kisuke's words. In particular, Asia and Gasper who were already at his side only felt extreme frustration as the weakest among the group who couldn't find a way to get stronger.
Gasper, while laying down, even started crying out his frustration, "If only I could become stronger..."
And as if waiting for those words, the Candy Shop owner, the Devil that is more Devilish than the other Devils, made an offer with a big grin on his face, "Boy, do you want to get stronger?"
Although what they were doing put them in even more danger, in Kisuke's eyes, it's a lot better from earlier where they were only trying to preserve themselves and were hoping for reinforcements to come.

28th00: Ah, Kisuke literally is a Devil now, huh? He's no longer more devilish than devils, but the most devilish devil! Wait a second, is Phis-chama unsupervised?! I hope she doesn't start building in multiple dimensions, it's not healthy to look at.
