Chapter 1313 Crowded Hot Springs part 1

Yoruichi went through the 13th portal on the way back to Draconic Deus when she felt one of her terminals ring and when she looked at it, she saw the name of their biggest customer, "It's very rare for you to contact me without reaching the checkpoint first. Are you that worried?"

[This is already the second time that my mark on her went off. The first time, I was able to send Kisuke Urahara to her side, but this time, she was within her clan's influence, and even after a while, the alarm wouldn't stop. You've met her, correct? What happened to her? And why is she still on the verge of death?] Yoruichi heard Seraselbes' not-so-malmer voice from the other side.

While in transit, Yoruichi already came to the decision to be completely honest with her, 'There's no point in letting this problem fester and turn her hostile against us. It'll hurt now, but it'll only get better from here on.'

"Before I explain anything, I first would like to apologize on behalf of Kisuke. It was his fault that Stralit was put in danger."

[...Explain.]

"Hmm... Where do I start..." Yoruichi found a random flat rock and sat down on it, "Kisuke provoked a pretty terrifying guy."

It almost took Yoruichi half an hour to fully explain in detail what Kisuke had been doing that she heard from Tenjirou while also piecing together what actually happened between Ichibei and him when she saw the former suddenly appear in front of Stralit.

[In short, Kisuke Urahara used his connection with her as bait to lure this 'unkillable' Ichibei Hyousube into a trap where his sword could deal with him?]

"That, I think, was the plan he came up with."

[And in the process, Stralit was dragged to a fight she has nothing to do with and is now on the verge of death with only a spirit maintaining her life until she can recover on her own?]

"...That's the gist of it."

After that, there was silence for a few minutes. Yoruichi also stayed silent but she's starting to get worried. While she has been in contact with her for a while, she knows nothing about her aside from her being Stralit's best friend. She has some ideas regarding her personality, but that's only on the surface level.

Thankfully, she finally responded after five minutes had elapsed, [What are you planning to do now?]

Yoruichi sighed in relief and was surprised that she didn't outright rage, "You can see the gates I'm using, right? I'm returning to Draconic Deus to get a few things to ensure her full recovery. However, those things emit Spiritual Power that could be detected by the Etouldes so I'm using their Matriarch's secret channel on my return trip."

[I see. Is there anything I can do from my side to help?]

"If there's something, I can't think of it right now. But I'll keep you posted on the progress."

[I will be waiting for the good news.]

Yoruichi thought that Seraselbes was going to hang up but just as she was about to hit the end call button, Yoruichi shuddered at a sudden cold voice, [And tell your lover that I'll be remembering this.]

With the familiar beeping sound of disconnection, Yoruichi couldn't immediately keep the terminal as she wiped the cold sweat that was running down her forehead, "Whew... Even though she's not here, her threatening will could still affect me. I guess there's a reason why the Etouldes mostly lose the worlds they contest with Evies."

And after a long time of looking into Seraselbes specifically, Yoruichi has reasons to believe that she's actually the strongest Evie in terms of power scale.

Fortunately for the Etouldes, Seraselbes don't actively invade worlds and only stay behind the rear.

"Alright!" Yoruichi stood up and stretched her arms upward, "The current priority is to heal the little princess and stop the robot empress from rampaging. I can't mess this up."

A few days later, Yoruichi returned to the Ouroboros Academy and she went straight to the newly built ryoukan.

Since Yoruichi was already expecting this, she was not surprised, 'It's a little bit larger than I initially thought, though?' 

What she didn't expect, however, was the popularity of the hot springs, not the normal hot springs, but the White Bone Hell and Blood Pond Hell, "What are you guys doing?"

Tenjirou seemed to be busy at the moment so she peeked at the women's bath of the White Bone Hell and saw Loki, Freya, Hestia, Hephaestus, Artemis, Demeter, Kali, and some girls from Draconic Deus like Aika, Bennia, Nyx, and Valerie, "Isn't this very cramped?"

"Ah! Yoruichi! You're back!" Loki gleefully greeted her, "What are those clothes doing? Take it off and hop in."

"No. I'm not dipping in. I'm just curious why there are so many of you here." Yoruichi looked around and turned to the right side where the Blood Pond Hell is which was only divided by a wall, 'Runeas Gremory and Lilith of Bible is even here? I didn't think this place would be this attractive.'

Although looking at the members, Yoruichi could understand how they could withstand the hotspring, 'The Dungeon Deities are technically spirits despite possessing physical bodies and the other four have strong affinities with souls and Spiritual Power.'

"We're just here before they started requiring admission fees and limitations," Freya answered while scooping water with her hand and dripping it on her shoulder.

'Admission fee?' Yoruichi asked herself, 'Well, considering the situation, Tenjirou would be overworked if they didn't require it.'

"This is still better than the men's side.", Hephaestus added while taking a sip of alcohol, "That side has become a dumb contest. The owner of this place had to pull half-dead bodies out of the water."

"...Yeah... That sounds dumb. Is this why Tenjirou is busy?" Yoruichi muttered under her breath while turning her head towards Hephaestus. Since the latter was facing sideways towards her, Yoruichi didn't immediately notice, "Hold on, Hephaestus. Your eye..."

Hephaestus turned her head towards her with a big smile, "I owe the owner for this one." Her previously scarred face was now cured, revealing her beautiful gem-like golden eyes.

Yoruichi grinned, "I see. The number of men going after you will inevitably shoot up."

Hephaestus just chuckled while lifting her cup, "Then they can have my hammer to their faces."
