Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1094 First Steps

Chapter 1094 First Steps

The next day, Kisuke asked the girls except for Ophis, Lilith, and Flanna to explore the town again. But before they left, Kisuke talked to Serafall, "Sera-chan, I'll support whatever you want to do since I trust your discretion."

Serafall grinned at him and replied, "Aren't you asking me to make a mess?"

"Geez, you know what I meant." Kisuke scratched his head with a wry smile but he couldn't blame her and why she said that because there was indeed an advantage for them if she were to make a mess. However, he had an entirely different reason and that's that he wanted the girls to have no reservations as they did on the other side and he wanted to leave that to Serafall's discretion.

"You probably already noticed from your brief exploration and listening to my stories, but this side is a lot more lenient against 'outsiders'. With factions that you can count on one hand, it's a lot easier for another one to rise up without any interference as long as you don't openly antagonize them."

Indeed, Serafall had been wondering why Kisuke, from his stories, a known fugitive was able to keep a relatively peaceful life for a century just because he escaped to the Human World. Her exploration last night was to seek an answer to this question and although she's still figuring things out, Serafall was able to conclude that the people who could apprehend Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Tessai couldn't easily leave their post despite them breaking some pretty serious laws and they were even able to open a shop that caters to their needs.

"True. It'll also be a lot easier for the girls to adapt since they won't have to hide like they did something wrong." Serafall replied. There's a reason why Serafall didn't hide her face when standing in front of the Shinigamis and that's because of her pride. They're prideful beings, especially her and Claire who're Devils. While they don't have anything against how Kisuke does things, they wouldn't want to do the same. At most, they would want to hide a portion of their abilities to save them as their ace.

But since they're in his world, Serafall was thinking if they should adapt to Kisuke's style, at least for the young girls. "But are you sure? They might figure out our association with you."

"I'd only ask that you avoid mentioning me to others. But if anyone finds out, that's also fine since I don't really intend to hide forever. Once I figure out what's going on and prepare enough, I'll move in earnest."

Serafall quietly stared at him for a few seconds before sighing in relief. She already has an idea of what he really wanted to do in this world but it was just a guess and she didn't have to ask him that now. Nevertheless, she was relieved that she didn't have to suppress herself and the young girls, "I see~. Then while we're at it, we'll find a good place to stay."

"Go to the Kitakawase area. It's a wealthy residential area and you should be able to find a suitable place there."

"Noted~ We'll get going then!"

As they left, Tessai approached him from behind, "They're not going to stay here?"

"This place is too small for them and no one would really want to live underground."

But just as Kisuke was about to return inside, his cane began shaking a second later, it released a strong light. The next moment, a very beautiful Japanese woman wearing a simple white V-neck t-shirt and blue tight jeans stood in front of Kisuke and Tessai while demanding with one of her hands on her hip, "I'm also going to find my own place."

Tessai was stunned while Kisuke thought about it for a moment before taking out his tanto blade and giving it to Benihime, "On one condition. You take her with you and become her guide."

The woman was incredibly apprehensive and was about to reject it with all her might. But when a certain aspect of the daily life of her independent action came to her mind, she took the tanto blade, albeit, still a bit hesitant, 'I don't like her... But I hate chores more.'

The woman didn't say another word and left with the blade using Flash Step.

"W-was that Benihime?" asked Tessai after the woman had disappeared, "When did Benihime acquire that kind of ability that's only unique to the Kuchiki Clan's Muramasa?"

"Well, it's something different but I won't be able to explain it properly to you. Just think of her body being made using Magic Particles as opposed to Spiritual Particles."

"Wait. She didn't take a Gigai. How is she going to interact with Humans?"

"No problem on that side either. Magic Power is something that manifests in the physical world once manipulated. Right now, she looks no different from a normal Human... Except for her temper."

Although Tessai doesn't personally know Benihime, he knows how she acts from Kisuke's mentioning of her in the past, "She won't create a big mess, will she?"

"It's fine. She knew the price of her freedom and I think she likes running around too much to do anything drastic."

Kisuke then gave Tessai a device that would allow him to practice sensing Magic Power before leaving with Ophis, Lilith, and Flanna.

After confirming everything he needs, Kisuke opened a Senkaimon within the training grounds. But because they don't have any Hell Butterflies to guide them, they were transported to a dark lifeless corridor with gooey moving walls the moment they stepped into the Senkaimon. They arrived at the Dangai and it was intentional on Kisuke's side.

"This is... The flow of time is incredibly distorted." Flanna commented as she looked around, "...2,000 times?" Flanna turned to Kisuke and asked, "Did you use this as a training ground, boss?"

Kisuke shook his head, "While it's indeed good for learning and mastering something when you're out of time, it's not a place to get stronger. Any wrong move and one will be dragged along the flow of time and be trapped forever. For most people, that would mean being trapped and aging 2,000 times faster."

Kisuke then turned to Ophis and Lilith, "Ophis-chan, Lilith-chan, please make a hole in the wall. I want to get out of this space."

Ophis and Lilith nodded and didn't hesitate to touch the gooey walls. But instead of being dragged and swallowed by it, the gooey wall moved out of its way and revealed a barren and deserted land beyond it.

Kisuke jumped in and was immediately followed by the three girls. After leaving the Dangai, they now arrived at one of many pocket spaces beside it called Valley of Screams, "Let's jump a few more times until we find a suitable place."

Ophis and Lilith nodded. After doing it the first time, they instantly understood the structure of this world's boundaries and were able to go through them like fishes in the water.
