Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 806 Perceived Hidden Danger

Yoruichi closely examined Kisuke and figured out that he was having a conversation with his Zanpakuto. Having recalled his relationship with Benihime, she asked “Should I set up a barrier?”

Kisuke shook his head, “Don’t worry. It won’t come to that. Not now.”

Yoruichi sighed in relief and remained silent. As far as she knows, the only Zanpakuto that is as sadistic as Benihime was Shunsui’s Katen Kyoukotsu, which was already famed for always putting its owner at the same risk as his enemy.

‘So why didn’t you continue?’ Kisuke asked Benihime.

‘Because you are not yet ready.’, Benihime answered briefly, ‘As much as I want for both of us to attain a higher level, you need to have an actual chance to proceed. After all, the power we’re talking about is something beyond Bankai. And you also know that for me to achieve that, I have to advance beyond the limits of my origin and existence.’

‘The constraints of a ‘name’, huh…’

After moving out of the disrupted zone of the battle, Kisuke began setting up the teleportation magic that would take them back to the Dizara Region, “By the way, how’s Medusa?”, he asked while preparing.

Yoruichi thought about the scene she had seen for a few moments before Aika contacted her, “It looks like it’ll take some time.”

“It’s not going well?”

“When has something like that ever gone well?”

“So the situation is bad enough for you to say something like that. Need help?”

Yoruichi shook her head, “Your help would be immensely useful right now, but it would be detrimental in the future. And yeah, the situation is bad enough that the older sisters are accumulating hate towards you with each passing day, so it would be better not to show your face to them until this is over… Not that you’d care even if they hated you to the bone.”

Kisuke was in silent agreement.

“Either way, it’s good that you’ve changed your plans since I want to watch over them myself. And although things are quiet right now, I have a feeling that something dangerous is developing beyond our surveillance.”

Connecting the coordinates, the two teleported and reappeared near the city of Pandemonium and started walking towards it, “Is it about the Aruna Familia?” asked Kisuke.

Yoruichi nodded, “Yeah… They are strong, but only within this world’s common sense so there should be nothing of concern about them even though their current quiet behavior was not like them and attracting a lot of attention from others. However, there’s this nagging feeling that it isn’t as simple as it seems, so I tried investigating their God, Aruna. But surprisingly, I can’t get close without being detected.”

Kisuke’s eyes widened in surprise, “He can detect you?”

Yoruichi nodded once again, “That’s right. Though I don’t exactly know how he’s doing it, I’m certain that I would only be revealing myself if I stay around him for a certain period of time even with Kuroka’s help. And thanks to that failed attempt, even though they have no way of identifying us, they became even more careful and quiet.”

Kisuke was about to say something but Yoruichi interrupted him, “I know what you want to say. Kidnap and extract information from one of them, right?”

Kisuke became silent as that’s indeed an option they can explore.

Sighing, Yoruichi continued, “I wouldn’t blame you for your excessiveness since I know what you went through. Nevertheless, we can be cold but never cruel. Kidnapping one of them because of some simple suspicion is still cruel in my book. And you do know that the chances of getting any actual information from one of his children are nil since we’ve learned how a Deity could easily fool a child.”

“…That’s true… But I still think bringing in one of them is a reasonable method. I’m sorry that I can’t change this.”

All of a sudden, Yoruichi gave Kisuke a loud slap on his back. Although it only tickled him, Kisuke couldn’t help but give her a puzzled look to which Yoruichi replied, “You did nothing wrong, so don’t apologize. Our differing opinions are not your fault because none of us truly knows the correct answer in every situation. And most importantly, you don’t have to change, not forcefully anyway as that should come naturally and I’ll welcome it. But if I do think that you’re straying too much, I’ll be the first one who’s going to drag you back.”

Kisuke smiled and looked forward, “Then I’ll do the same. If I think you’re straying, I’ll be the first one to drag you.”

At that point, Yoruichi started chuckling.

“What now? There’s nothing funny with what I just said.”

“No… I’m just glad that the girls are with us. So even if both of us strayed apart, it’ll be up to them to do what they think is right. In hindsight, each one of us is compensating for each other in what we lack, especially to the two of us who lack the normality of life.”

They arrived at the gates of the city and Yoruichi added, “In any case, leave this to us and just focus on what you want to do on the other side. You don’t have to worry since contact is now possible.”

Kisuke then produced a terminal and passed it to Yoruichi, “Here is the list of barriers and formations I’ve placed on Pandemonium, Orario, and the tower. I’ve categorized and tagged them so it’ll be easy for you to look for what you need. Just use the search bar at the top.”

Yoruichi received the terminal and turned it on. But the moment her eyes landed on a certain metric on the board, a minor headache came rushing in, “9,936 entries? This is beyond overdoing it.”

“I wasn’t joking when I said you can search for whatever you may need. Though a third of that was for sealing the Dungeon from outside interference and influence from Divine Power or Soul Power. If it’s outside the Dungeon, you can go all out.”
