章節 1243: Chapter 1243 Trust

Okikiba led Kisuke and Kirio towards a deserted area and a small building beside the 1st Division barracks. Inside the small building, Kisuke could feel two people hiding within the darkness of the shadow but Okikiba ignored them and continued to make his way inside.

Soon, they reached a set of hidden stairs that led to a very dark tunnel that has numerous hidden presences inside it.

Kisuke quietly followed Okikiba and estimated where they were going from the direction they were going, 'The 2nd Division area? More specifically, the abandoned Nest of Maggots.'

From what he saw when he was in the sky, aside from 1st Division and the Academy grounds, everywhere else within the Seireitei was overrun by the noble forces.

While thinking why they are making their way there, Benihime gave him the answer, [That's where that nasty bastard's hidden lab is.]

'I see. When you arrived on his side, how far had he progressed?'

[He already started mass producing the framework for the homunculi and even created a pretty special body for his own little secretary.] Benihime answered but there was still confusion on her side, [But how did you know he'd start copying and mass-producing the bodies you created?]

'I'd thought of it the moment Kyouraku-san snuck up on me when I met Aizen.'

'From the start then,' Benihime thought to herself while waiting for Kisuke to continue.

'Kyouraku-san already saw me so there was no point in hiding, however, from the start, he's not really the one I wanted to cooperate with. While the position of the Captain Commander is convenient, it's also one of the greatest shackles a strong Shinigami could have. I didn't expect much from him from the beginning and I was right that he couldn't do something big aside from partially freeing Aizen and manipulating the information going around the Gotei 13.'

[Manipulating information is not something big?]

'It would be a big deal if not for someone who has a better grasp on real information flowing in and out of the Seireitei. Whether I'd like to admit it or not, Kurotsuchi-san is similar to me so I predicted that after Kyouraku-san met me, it wouldn't take long before he appeared anomalous in his system. That anomaly within Kurotsuchi-san's baseline was what I used to communicate with him and when the whole thing happened with Soifon-san, I figured he'd create his own in case he needed something to counter it.'

'From then on, I slowly gave him my intentions through Serafall and my activities. I didn't attack the Royal Palace twice prior to this just because I wanted to distract them alright? I'm actually appealing to Kurotsuchi-san's bottom line of preserving the Seireitei and the Gotei 13.'

Benihime went quiet a moment before she started cursing, [You bastards have been talking without directly speaking?]

'That way, nobody suspects anything. Why do you think Soifon-san, Hirako-san, and Kyouraku-san were suspected by the Zero Division yet Kurotsuchi-san was trusted by them? We were being careful in manipulating the information to our advantage. Thanks to that, I didn't have to work alone in mass producing those bodies and I didn't have to fight against the Gotei 13 when I went to attack the Royal Palace for the last time today. Hyousube-san might have caught me off guard, but I already prepared various paths of retreat and counterattack.'

While explaining to Benihime the high-level overview of what he's trying to do, Okikiba reached the end of the tunnel and opened the door blocking their way, revealing the inside of the Nest of Maggots that served as a prison for unfortunate Shinigamis.

Guarding Mayuri's former cell was the 5th Division's second in command, Momo Hinamori.

Momo was about to greet Okikiba when Kisuke and Kirio suddenly came into her sight and she froze, not knowing what to do.

"It has been a while, Hinamori-san." Kisuke casually greeted her.

"E-eh? Ah... Uhmmm... It has been a while, Urahara-san... and Kirio-sama."

Thankfully, Momo didn't have to endure the awkward situation as Mayuri came out of the secret door, "Set the greeting aside for later. We don't have much time for that."

Mayuri's eyes then landed on Kirio and was able to figure out the current state she's in, "You really pulled no punches, huh? But I guess that wasn't enough to wipe off his annoying grin."

Kirio smiled wryly and said, "It's as you've said. I wouldn't even call it a fight since he just disregarded everything I threw at him."

"Is that so?" Mayuri lost his interest and he turned his eyes towards the cane hanging beside Kisuke, "You know the place so carry her to a free room."

Without a word from Kisuke, Benihime materialized with her usual white shirt and tight-fit denim jeans.

Okikiba and Hinamori were startled at her sudden appearance but Benihime just ignored them and picked up Kirio from Kisuke's arms before passing by Mayuri and entering his lab.

Kisuke was not surprised and said, "It seems you got close to her?"

"Close to her?" Mayuri clicked his tongue and turned around to enter the lab, "She's one of the most venomous women I've ever met. And if there's one thing I figured out about her, she hates troublesome things. Hikifune was the ticket for her to get out of this so I knew she would take it."

Hinamori and Okikiba looked at each other and just watched Kisuke follow Mayuri inside. Once they made some distance from the door, Hinamori manually closed the door while muttering, "So many things are going on... I don't even know if what we're doing is the right thing, but I hope the others in Hell are safe."

"According to Captain Kurotsuchi, Urahara Kisuke wouldn't let former Captain Commander Yamamoto go away and probably already pulled him to his side. Instead of fighting each other, I can only assume that they are now together, fighting for the common cause."

Hinamori was still conflicted and couldn't entirely believe Okikiba's words, "...I sure hope so..."

As soon as Kisuke entered Mayuri's facility, the first thing he noticed was the entire 12th Division present and communicating to the Shinigami outside defending themselves.

But before he could figure out the whole picture through various monitors, he raised his right arm to defend himself. The next instant, he caught a leg that created a shockwave that knocked over some of the members of the 12th Division.

And when he looked towards the owner of the leg he was holding, Kisuke saw a very angry woman, "Ah~ Soifon-san~! I'm really glad to see you as energetic as ever!"

"You hoodlum! I trusted you and I thought you trusted me!"

章節 1244: Chapter 1244 Escape part 1

Before Kisuke could say anything, it was Mayuri who got pissed first, "If you want to brawl, do it somewhere else. There are many sensitive pieces of equipment in here that are of paramount importance."

Soifon glared at Mayuri but the latter didn't back down. Soifon then closed her eyes and let out a long sigh in an attempt to calm herself down while removing her leg from Kisuke.

"If you're done, then let's move inside. We don't have time to play around." Mayuri resumed his steps while gesturing to his members to go back to their work.

Soifon glared at Kisuke though Kisuke just shrugged his shoulders and followed Mayuri.

In one of the inner rooms isolated from the rest for privacy's sake, Shinji, Shunsui, and Nanao turned to the entrance when Mayuri came in with Kisuke, and sulking Soifon came in.

"No wonder she rushed out," Shinji muttered while sporting a grin at Kisuke.

"I'll admit though, I used her as bait to make Kurotsuchi-san do what I wanted." Kisuke approached them and sat down on the free seat.

Soifon clenched her fist and stayed quiet. She wanted even a bit of apology from Kisuke but technically speaking, he didn't do anything wrong and he did everything with her consent so he doesn't owe her any apologies. Like how she hid some things from him, he also hid some things from her. Their relationship is as simple as a give and take, "..."

Even then, she couldn't help but feel frustrated and a bit hurt because she genuinely thought of Kisuke as her comrade, 'In the end, I'm just a simple pawn to him.'

Shunsui took a peek at Soifon's expression before looking back at Kisuke and said, "So I'm just a bait too?" Although he was in the same position as Soifon, he's not as bothered.

"Well, I refuse to believe that Kurotsuchi-san wouldn't be suspicious of you after acting weirdly. No matter how normal you act, you'd slip up in some places regardless of whether you like it or not."

Shunsui then turned to Mayuri and asked, "Just for reference sake, how did you become suspicious of me?"

Mayuri also sat down on his seat and answered, "You might have hidden it from our senses, but you can't reliably hide your Reiatsu when you release your Bankai against constantly monitoring machines. Sitri Serafall can do this strange teleportation technique that's almost undetectable with our technology, so I assumed that you're guarding the Muken secretly from possible intruders using similar techniques."

"So from there, you just started piecing clues together?" Shinji joined the conversation.

Mayuri sighed, "It'll be a long story and I hate long stories." He placed his hands together and stared at Kisuke, "We're all here for clarification so why don't we get going with that?"

"Nanao-chan, please prepare us some tea." Shunsui instructed Nanao who was standing behind him, "And Soifon, come sit down... Or would you rather stay there?"

Soifon hesitated for a bit before sitting down beside Kisuke.

"Now then, where should I start?..." Kisuke started speaking, this time, not hiding his real intentions.

.

.

.

After about half an hour, Shunsui was kneading his forehead, Shinji and Soifon staring at Kisuke who was casually sipping his tea with an unbelieving expression, Nanao staring at him with fear, while Mayuri was rubbing his chin carefully thinking about what he just heard and its plausibility.

Shinji turned to Soifon and hurriedly asked, "You really don't know any of that?"

"How would I know that he intended to reshape the entire cycle of souls and let go 99% of the entirety of Soul Society? That's basically destroying it. Though I do agree with doing away with the lynchpin being the sole pillar of the world's stability."

Shunsui looked toward Mayuri who was in deep thought and asked, "What do you think? Could you agree with that?"

Mayuri stopped rubbing his chin and his eyes landed on Shunsui, "The lynchpin is indeed a big headache and I really hate the fact that all of our existence depended on a single point of failure, it really didn't bode well with me. Besides, even if most of the souls in Soul Society leave, the Seireitei itself would still exist. It's the reason why I started mass-producing those bodies. However..." His eyes moved and landed on Kisuke, "I'm still wondering how you'd achieve this. On top of that, I still don't know why you're making an effort to save Seireitei since you could start all of this without these extra steps. The only difference is that the Seireitei would be dissolved and the strong souls would be left wandering around without a place to call home."

"Isn't that obvious?" Shinji chimed in, "He didn't want to make an enemy of the entire Seireitei since we'd do our best to stop him."

"Even if we do our best, that might not be enough to stop him. As I've insinuated earlier, he could just ignore us and go on with this plan of his and he'll achieve the same thing. Who cares if he'll make an enemy out of us? He could just hide and let the Seireitei rot without any ability to replenish its power," replied Mayuri before confronting Kisuke again, "What else are you hiding?"

But instead of Kisuke, Soifon was the one who answered, "Kisuke came back from another world. He probably wanted to connect that world's reincarnation system to this world." She was worried that the contract would stop her from speaking but thankfully, it didn't activate, signifying that it was fine for her to reveal this. After hearing his side just now, Soifon pieced together the information that she had and was able to come up with that conclusion.

"...Another world?" Mayuri instantly became intrigued and Kisuke felt nervous when he saw that his eyes started shining with unprecedented interest, "That would answer a lot of things, especially the existence of those girls."

Mayuri wanted to know more and was about to bombard Kisuke with various questions but all of a sudden, something on Nanao started shining with blue light.

Nanao was the first one to notice but all of the people inside the room soon gathered their attention to her, "W-what?"

Confused, Nanao took out the shining thing and it turned out to be a single piece of paper with an insignia shining, "T-this is... What Sitri-san gave me when she last visited the Seireitei."

The paper then escaped from Nanao's hand and flew towards the open space within the room. The light grew brighter and soon, a Magic Circle containing the insignia drawn on the paper manifested and soon a twin-tailed short-stacked pretty woman emerged from it while shouting, "Success~! Good thing I left that with Nanao-chan... Hmmm? Oh. Ki-tan! You're here too? You're done with your work?"

"...Sera-chan? What are you doing here?" Kisuke asked because it's obvious that she was forced to teleport away from Hell, "What's happening down there?"

"It's a literal hellscape, but later on that! Help me establish a connection with Ku-chan. We need to teleport everyone out of there!"

'Ophis didn't destroy Hell, did she?' Kisuke asked himself while scrambling to stand up to help Serafall with her request.

28th00: I mean, you left Ophis down there when she was about to enter Outrage… I’d be impressed if Hell was still in 1 piece.
