Volume 5 Chapter 240 - A Friend From Long Ago

Irina didn't expect that there would be other people inside the house which is almost deserted yesterday. She immediately went back to her cutesy act and greeted everyone, "Good evening. I'm Irina Shidou, Kisuke-kun's childhood friend~!"

The loli trio ignored her entirely as they are busy with playing around. Cleria turned around to see who it is and introduced herself using a fake name, "Good evening. I'm Kyoko Seo and a friend of Kisuke Urahara." She then pointed towards Masaomi who is staring blankly at Irina, "And that is my husband, Takuma Seo… Dear? What's wrong?"

Masaomi immediately woke up from her wife's call and shook his head, "I just didn't expect that I would meet the daughter of an acquaintance." He stood up and took a closer look at Irina, "Are you Touji Shidou's daughter?" He asked just to be sure.

"Ah… Yes. How did you know my father?" Irina stared at his face trying to figure out if she knew him herself as he immediately recognized her as her father's daughter. But due to the use of a disguise and fake name, she couldn't make any connection.

"He's a friend of mine from long ago and he probably couldn't remember me anymore. There was just one time that he showed off his daughter to me and others and I couldn't forget about how proud he is." Masaomi chuckled and patted Irina's head while reminiscing the past. A wave of nostalgia brushes over him, 'I wonder if the leader is blaming himself for 'killing' me and Cleria… Knowing him, he probably would… I hope I could have a chance to show myself to him and apologize for tricking him. But then again, that would only endanger everyone who is involved in that incident.'

Irina didn't mind his hand. She can tell that there is something that he isn't telling her but she can't feel any ill feelings. Instead, she's somehow getting the same vibe from him as her father, which is weird considering his words of "a friend long ago", 'I should ask father about him… Something isn't right here, but I also think that he isn't dangerous. In fact, I think I know him but I couldn't recall…'

Irina smiled in response to his words, "He's always been a doting parent. And I'm sure father still remembers you, Seo-san~!"

Masaomi just chuckled and sat back down. He always regrets the fact that he couldn't talk to his former comrades anymore.

Kisuke noticed this and thought for a bit before saying, "After you've found a place to stay for good, you can invite him for a drink."

Masaomi and Cleria's shocked at his words, "What? Are you serious!?"

"Yep~!"

Masaomi blankly stared at Kisuke before laughing uproariously, "Puhahaha! Is that so!? Then we should find a good place soon, honey!" Masaomi wanted to ask why, but he trusted Kisuke and he knew he wouldn't joke about these things, 'One thing is for sure though. Something big is about to happen. Big enough that enemies can sit in one table and share food.'

Cleria smiled, happy for her husband, "Sure, but go get us some groceries first. I want to make a lot of good stuff today."

"Okay!" Masaomi was about to run out, but Kisuke stopped him, "No need. I have all you need with me." He then proceeds to take out loads of raw ingredients from his space magic storage.

"Y-you… Just how much do have in that space of yours?" Cleria's mouth twitches. Her shock is understandable, after all, no matter what they need or what they ask, he always has it, 'Are you a talking cat robot?'

"Isn't this normal? I have all I need here. Just food alone can last us for a decade." Kisuke is genuinely puzzled. Such convenient magic. Why wouldn't anyone do this much?

Everyone, except for Ophis and Claire, who doesn't understand the scale of his words, only quietly stared at Kisuke. They are trying to recall an instance of someone doing the same thing but couldn't.

"A d-decade you say…" Cleria wanted to ask him why he needs so much and what he would do if those food become rotten, "No… Nothing… Thank you for this. Now I can make more." But she shook her head. Since it's Kisuke, she stopped thinking about it and only thanked him, 'I don't want to hear something like 'stopping time'! It's bad for Claire's education. I don't want her to have some strange expectations.'

Masaomi, Medusa, and even Irina just let it pass for a reason 'It's Kisuke' and didn't ask about it any further.

It took half an hour for everything to be finished and served. Since the dining table is not enough for all of them, Kisuke took out another set of table and chairs, and everyone magnificently ignored it. However, all of them thought, 'Due to the limits of magic, others could only fit the bare necessities, but this guy seems to be ready even for picnic and camping trips.'

Kisuke introduced the three lolis to Irina, although the only one who greeted her properly is 'Ana' and Claire. Ophis ignored her and only stared at the food.

They had a fun dinner. However, there is some tension between the lolis. Since Ophis didn't know how to use the utensils, she decided to sit on Kisuke's lap and waited for the food. Kisuke, in response, happily fed her, asking her every now and then how was the food and Ophis would answer, "Delicious." or "The doughnuts are better."

Claire also wanted to ask Kisuke to feed her but she could only stare at Ophis with envy. Although most of her fears were gone, she still has a feeling that she shouldn't disturb Ophis.

Medusa, on the other hand, is facing a dilemma of whether she should ask for the same treatment, 'I'm a little girl right now, so it's okay to ask for it, right?… No no no, Medusa! You're already old enough to become his grandmother multiple times over! He would only laugh at you if you ask such a childish thing!…' Medusa took a peek at the happily chewing Ophis again and thought, '…But I want that too…' while pouting from time to time. It seems that not only her body returned to a child but some of her repressed childish thoughts started to resurface.

'W-what is this?' Irina was dumbfounded at this scene, especially at Medusa who is trying her hardest to hide her envious peeking but didn't know she's failing miserably at it, 'When did Kisuke become so popular with little girls?' Irina then proceeds to glare at Kisuke, 'He doesn't have any weird preferences… right?'

Cleria only sighed at this sight and then she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, where is Yoruichi?"

"She's picking up mom. You know, for security reasons. And she's only gathering information on the way. They should return tomorrow if nothing else comes up." Kisuke didn't stop feeding Ophis. Sooner or later, there will be a spoilt Dragon of Infinity.

"I see. I'll greet your mother tomorrow."

"Uhmm… Who is Yoruichi-san?" Irina asked.

Masaomi answered absentmindedly, "Kisuke's wife."

"W-WHAAATTT!!!?" Irina shouted.

Medusa on the side, the moment she heard 'Yoruichi' from Cleria, her body started shaking and her face paled. She finally remembered Yoruichi's existence.
