Volume 1 Chapter 12 - Rewards
A few minutes after the explosion, the whole town was alarmed. Multiple sirens of police, ambulance, and firetrucks are moving towards the source of the accident.
A berserk aura of a devil that was roaming around the town can be felt. However, after ten minutes, various factions were alerted and started investigating and found out that the explosion was caused by demonic power and not just some accident. News of Cleria and her lover's death also started spreading leading to more personnel dispatch by many factions
The furious devil was forced to retreat due to many eyes landing on him and it'll only be disadvantageous for him to remain. Before leaving though, he promised that he will one day return the favor.
As for the trio that the humiliated super devil was diligently looking for, they were having a midnight snack at a 24/7 convenient store in the center of the town.
Kisuke is enjoying a cup of instant noodles while both Cleria and Masaomi have a siopao and hotdog respectively.
"He really wasn't able to find us, amazing," Masaomi said while munching on his hotdog.
"That guy is smart but too prideful and narrow-minded. He wouldn't even take a glance at places like this and only look for obscure places where we might be hiding." Kisuke is slurping his noodles with great relish.
"You yourself are incredible, to be able to determine how he thinks and what are his next actions." Cleria took a glance at Kisuke, who at this time already removed his mask revealing his appearance.
"You give me too much credit. I just met a similar person in the past, that's all."
'You're too humble! Are you really a kid?!' Both Cleria and Masaomi shouted in their heads.
After finishing their snacks, Kisuke asked the two, "What's your plan next?"
The couple looked at each other for a few seconds then looked back to Kisuke, "First of all, thank you. If not for your help, we would have fallen there and that Rizevim probably would have gotten what he wanted. Thank you very much." Cleria bowed her head towards Kisuke.
Masaomi also followed suit while saying, "If not for you, I would have doubted my comrades. When I saw their pained expressions when they killed 'me', I realized that they really didn't want that to happen. Thank you."
"You don't have to thank me for that much, you do know that I didn't save you two because I have some selfless justice, right?" Kisuke revealed his true intentions.
"I know, I have this inkling that you are not the type that helps others for no reason." Cleria answered him.
"You're wrong regarding that about me. Sometimes, I help others just because I'm interested, curious or just plain whim." Kisuke replied while giving a teasing grin on his face.
"I see, looks like I'm really mistaken about that. Let's move on, what do you want us to do for you?" Cleria just smiled for a moment before returning her serious expression. Masaomi also became nervous after hearing her say that. They both can't think of anything this unfathomable guy needs.
"You two don't have to be that nervous. I won't let you do something unreasonable. I just need you to teach me some things, like common sense in your world." Kisuke reassured the couple.
"Only that?" Cleria and Masaomi are both dumbfounded yet again. He gets through all that trouble so just we can teach him some common sense?
Kisuke saw through their reaction and said, "You would need to teach me everything that I need to know about the supernatural world, of course, including some not so common knowledge. Easy right?"
"Of course it's easy. Just passing you my knowledge is not enough, I have many books on my mansion that you may be interested in. You can take all of that. I will even give you my hidden wealth in there since I have some anonymous accounts with tons of money, I won't be needing it." Cleria enthusiastically agreed and even giving some suggestions of her own.
"Alright, it's settled then. I'll take my leave here, let's meet at the park tomorrow at 10:00 AM." Before leaving, Kisuke bought a vanilla ice cream for Yoruichi who is waiting for him.
The couple waited until Kisuke disappeared from their sight. Masaomi started talking first after seeing him gone, "Have you not considered escaping?"
"No, and I'm sure you would stop me if we really tried to escape. I'm very thankful to him, and besides, even if we escaped, he probably has some insurance. I don't want to know or test what he prepared." Cleria answered.
In reality, Kisuke really has something prepared if they were to escape the town, but not as gruesome as they imagine, just a tracker and a poison that can incapacitate them which can be activated remotely.
"Let's rest. A hotel is no good so let's just go with an internet cafe room." Masaomi suggested after a few seconds of thinking.
Back at Urahara household, inside Kisuke's room, a figure of a buck-naked child with short black hair can be seen flashing here and there leaving multiple afterimages giving an illusion of she was teleporting. This moment is the rebirth of the Flash Goddess and this moniker will once again shock the world, though a different world.
Kisuke entered through the window carrying a plastic bag with ice cream inside. He saw what Yoruichi is doing and a smile crept to his face.
"Looking good, aren't ya." Kisuke greeted her while placing her snack on the table.
"I'm getting the hang of it. Is that for me?" Yoruichi stopped flashing around and saw the plastic bag on the table.
"Eat it before it me-" Before he could finish his words, he saw Yoruichi already jumped and snatched the ice cream and eating it with great relish.
"You would probably eat it even if it's not yours." Kisuke just sighed at this sight.
"Yeah, damn right. I really miss this flavor. How did it go for you."
"Better than I expected. Come with me tomorrow. I'll probably need your views."
