Chapter 246 Plans for the Future
Chapter 246 Plans for the Future
“Ehem.” Kisuke figured that before he could start working on his projects, he first has to settle the current situation, “I not really sure of your relationship until now. But before you hear anything from me, you two have to talk properly first. Do you want to do it here? Or do you want me to set up a private space for the two of you?”
Sakura first looked at Kisuke for a few seconds before sighing, “I doubt you’d tell more than Cleria-neesama. Furthermore, talking with her would save me from having a headache since she has more sense than you.”
“So want the private space~. The guest room in the right is where you should go.”
“…Dammit…” Sakura could only grit her teeth in frustration, “Why does it feels like you already have prepared everything?”
“Because I did?”
“Haah… Whatever… Who doesn’t want such a capable son?” Sakura smiled wryly and dragged Cleria with her to the guest room that Kisuke pointed out. They still have a lot of things to talk about and didn’t want to spend more time making sense of Kisuke’s actions.
Kisuke then faced Masaomi, Claire, Medusa, and Yoruichi, “Well then, let’s have lunch.”
“Cleria will probably call for me and Claire later so we’ll the one to bring them the food.” Masaomi put down Claire and started serving the food for everyone. And just like he expected, just a minute later, they were called in.
The only people left in the room to share the table is Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Medusa, “So? What’s the plan?” Yoruichi asked.
Kisuke didn’t answer immediately to arrange his thoughts while eating, ‘From Yoruichi’s report last night, contrary to what we expected, those invisible guys retreated… Did they retreat because of the large influx of Devils and Fallen Angels? But based on how they act, it’s very unlikely for them to retreat just from this… Are they up for something bigger or are am I just overthinking it? Either way, I can now safely move the girls to the training ground and continue their treatment there.’
Kisuke kept tapping his fingers on the table as he eats and Yoruichi and Medusa didn’t interfere with his contemplation.
‘I first have to sort out my priorities. The most urgent thing I have to do now is to stabilize Aika and Koneko’s conditions. If this is prolonged further, it could have a potentially detrimental effect on their future development.
‘Next is to examine Medusa’s state. I can’t have her breaking down suddenly without a warning. After that is… Hmm… Information gathering. I have to contact both Kuroka’s group and the Devil side and maybe get my reward while I’m at it.
‘And the last thing for now is… Benihime’s container… I heard the Governor of the Fallen Angels likes to mess with Sacred Gears… I wonder how I can contact him?… Ah… right… That guy with a gaudy white armor. He was sent by Azazel to retrieve Kokabiel and it seems that he has a connection to Kuroka. I should start with that. I also have to sort my projects and separate them between what I can show and what I can’t.’
Polishing the plan in his head, Kisuke finished his food, “Yosh~. Here’s the plan. Yoruichi, same as always, you’ll be going around to gather info but you have to do it differently this time.”
“Different? How?” Yoruichi and Medusa also finished their food and started cleaning up the table.
Kisuke gave her a large grin, “You’ll be transferring to Kuoh Academy.”
Yoruichi stopped what she doing and stared at Kisuke blankly, “…Seriously?”
“Yep~. I’ll ask Sona-chan to arrange it for us. It should be easy for her to do this.”
“…Your reason?”
“You can get close to the Devils and gather more information from them. And while you’re at it, we can establish a connection to their government through them. Although we don’t like some of them, that isn’t a reason to make an enemy out of them.”
“…Let me change the question a little bit… What’s your real reason?”
Kisuke suddenly stood up and without hesitation, he declared, “Of course it’s because I want a school uniform date!”
Medusa is dumbfounded at his actions, ‘No, no, no. You got it the wrong way! The former should be your main goal instead of the latter!’ She thought. But after a few seconds, she accepted it because this is Kisuke. It’s pointless to question his goals. Nevertheless, she felt slightly jealous.
Yoruichi chuckled and agreed to his plan, “Fine. I would also like to roam around the school and enjoy the atmosphere.”
“Good. I’ll give Sona-chan a call later. You’ll be transferring in after a few days when all the commotion settled.” Hence, another ‘Demon’ is about to descend in the Kuoh Academy.
“Next is, I’ll be moving Aika and Koneko to the training ground and accelerate their treatment. Ana, you’ll be coming with me. We still don’t know if you have hidden dangers on your body so I have to examine your body, core, and soul thoroughly.”
Medusa flinched after she was called but she nodded meekly.
“Hmm? What’s wrong? I won’t be doing something strange to you, so relax.”
“N-no… That’s not it…” Medusa fidgets around while glancing at Yoruichi from time to time.
Kisuke and Yoruichi looked at each other and understood each other’s intention instantly, “Well then. I’m going to transfer Aika and Koneko. Yoruichi will be leading you to training ground later.”
“W-wait!” Medusa tried to catch him but Kisuke already used Flash Step to escape. This action of his made her very nervous, ‘Why leave me alone with your wife!? Even though that Sona Sitri didn’t suffer anything from Yoruichi-san, it doesn’t mean that I’ll have the same treatment!’
Medusa nervously looks back at Yoruichi who is smiling at her. However, this smile of her gave her the feeling that she’s just a small prey in front of a very ferocious predator, “Ana… No, it should be Medusa. Let’s talk for a bit.”
Medusa’s heartbeat shoots up. Although she knew that Yoruichi won’t be hurting her, she couldn’t help but think negatively, ‘Am I going to die today?’ And she nodded timidly.
Yoruichi patted her shoulder and gave her a gentle smile this time, “Relax. I won’t be doing anything to you. You and I just have to talk.”
Medusa stared at her face for a few seconds before taking a deep breath, “Okay. I’m going to prepare some tea. Please sit down and wait for me for a moment.”
“You don’t have to do that though.”
“No. I have to do this. After all, I’m a maid of the Urahara Household.” Medusa said while beaming a bright smile.
Yoruichi smiled and only thought, ‘Well… As long as she’s happy.’

As the two groups are having their own talks, Kisuke finished transferring Aika and Koneko, “Now then. What should I do next? Right, I should adjust the examination room for Medusa.”
It’s not that Kisuke doesn’t care as he knew that these talks center around him, but he too doesn’t want to influence their decisions just by being there.
Why? Because if he’s present in their talks, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself to manipulate the course of conversation to benefit himself and he doesn’t really want to do that. In cases like this where ‘logic’ isn’t everything and his scheming head isn’t wanted, he would leave everything to his queen.
