Chapter 247 That Nagging Feeling

A few days has already past since the battle against Kokabiel. Aika and Koneko can already do normal daily activities, but anything that can stress their bodies would immediately put them in pain so they are now free of Yoruichi’s training and happily living their normal life.

“Aren’t you coming to school?” Yoruichi asked while she wears the Kuoh Academy’s uniform.

“Maybe some other time. I still have things to do.” Kisuke yawned as he snuggles in his blanket. He looked towards Yoruichi who is already finishing up and said, “As I expected. It really suits you.”

“Really? It’s too girly for my taste.”

“It looks great~. It gives you a youthful feeling.”

“I know, right? But don’t you dare attack me right now. I won’t be able to go to school once you’re done.”

“Hehehe… Then let’s postpone it in the evening.”

“If that’s the case, then I would be late on my second day of school… But I’m also looking forward to a student role-play~.”

“Then I should dress for the occasion~.”

While their conversation is starting to heat up, Sakura’s call from downstairs came before they could throw away their plans for today, “Yoruichi, you’re going to be late!”

“Ehem… I’m going, dear~.” Yoruichi got hold herself and gave Kisuke a quick peck on his lips before leaving in a hurry.

Kisuke could only chuckle at his lover’s antics. That quick peck, however, gave him enough energy to last for the whole day, “Now then, it’s time to work hard today again.” Stretching up, he cleaned himself with the use of magic and materialized his shihakushou.

These days, since he’s not going to school and his experiments are potentially dangerous, he kept wearing his actual shihakushou instead of normal clothing for additional defense.

Kisuke, however, did not go down immediately as he wanted to check the progress of his running experiments through his terminal first, “Hmm… The new Gigai’s soul integration is 238% better. But that is still far from my goal of using soul techniques without separating from the Gigai.

“For the Sacred Gear prototype, if I want it to contain a soul, then capacity is a problem. And even with that solved, the soul’s ability won’t be able to easily transfer to the user. I have to keep running this experiment for more data but I don’t think this is the right concept for the real Sacred Gear. I guess this is as much progress I could get by continuous trial and error.

“As for healing magic, Asia-chan’s Sacred Gear is a good reference, but that is only for normal injuries as it only boosts the regenerative power already inside the target. If there is a problem in the regenerative system itself then it’ll do more harm than good. Although attacks that disrupt regeneration itself shouldn’t be common, it isn’t impossible to encounter something like that. I guess if I want something that would work for everything then I should focus on making a magic version of Orihime’s ‘reject’ powers. But then again, that’s currently impossible for me.”

Kisuke scratched his head in mild frustration due to his projects not progressing as fast as he would like, “I know I shouldn’t be rushing these things, but I have a nagging feeling that if I at least don’t do Benihime’s request, then I would dearly regret it later.”

Normally, even things don’t go as he scheduled, he wouldn’t have minded it as it’s pretty normal, but now, a nagging, almost unbearable feeling keeps pushing him. His lack of progress is not the real cause of his frustration, but this strange feeling that directly shouts in his instinct, “I hate this… This is the first time something like this happened. And even I thoroughly inspect my body and soul, nothing wrong comes up…”

Even though this is the case, he already came up with a few possible reasons, “My first guess is that something changed in me when I transferred to this world which makes me detect something I don’t know. Although this is also highly unlikely because it only came up now and Yoruichi doesn’t feel anything like this.

“Second is the Hougyoku itself. I’m starting to think that someone or something I don’t know about intervened so that Aizen and I were able to create something like this.

“And my last guess is due to my involvement with transcendent being, namely Ophis. I don’t know much about the transcendent beings but their influence on fate itself should be enough reason for something like this.”

Kisuke finally shook his head, “There is no point in thinking this. I don’t like that I’m being influenced by something but it also doesn’t hurt to prepare for the future. Either way, it’s already something I planned, and I just have to hurry it up.”

It took Kisuke half an hour to review everything before he came down for food.

“You’re finally up. Your breakfast is in the oven. You can reheat it for a bit.” Sakura is currently happily getting ready to go out.

“You’re going again today?” Kisuke asked.

“Yep~. But this time, Cleria will be bringing her whole family.” She then took out a familiar bracelet and wore it. Within a few seconds, her face changed along with her aura. This is the same bracelet that Kisuke gave to the family of three to disguise themselves.

These past few days, Sakura and Cleria kept going out on their ‘dates’, enjoying their reunion. Kisuke, however, gave Sakura a condition to go out and hang out with her sister, and that is by disguising herself and using teleportation magic to come to their meeting points. This way, Cleria’s family wouldn’t attract as much attention as Urahara Household is.

“Be careful. Call me if something comes up. I’ll come immediately.” Kisuke turned on the oven to reheat his food.

“I will.” Sakura then stepped on the magic circle that Kisuke made for her. The magic circle lit up and within just a few seconds, she would be transported to the location she set earlier. But before she disappears she called out to Kisuke one last time, “Honey, don’t push yourself too hard. Make sure that you don’t lose yourself in the middle of your job… Maybe you will, but make sure that you’re ready to pull out anytime. It’s too dangerous if you’re not aware of your surroundings however secure your space is.”

Kisuke smiled at his mother’s reminder, “I’ll remember that. Enjoy your day~.” He replied before his mother went away.

After finishing his food, Kisuke was about to go back to his projects when he suddenly felt someone near the house, “It’s alright. No one’s here.”

A second later, a purple magic circle appeared in the living room and Kuroka appeared, “Good morning nya.~”

“Good morning. Have you had breakfast yet?”

“Not yet nya~.”

“I see. Let’s go to the training ground first. We can talk while you eat.”
