Chapter 1093 Recollection
It had been a long day for the teenagers so they went to bed first. Despite their seemingly unlimited energy, they still went through dimensions before arriving here. They were able to rest for a bit, but that still took a toll on their still-developing bodies. Kisuke found nothing out of place with them after he performed a quick checkup, but he urged them to rest now for good measure.
Serafall, on the other hand, didn't choose to sit with Kisuke and Tessai to listen to the latter's story. Even if she could listen, she wouldn't be able to understand anything without the necessary context. Instead, she went out again to explore the town. As an unknown world, she couldn't sit still without knowing anything, or at least making sure that there was no immediate danger in their vicinity.
Kisuke was sure that Serafall would trust his words if he told her that they were safe here but he knew that wouldn't be as effective if she checked it herself. Also this way, she'll be able to adapt faster since that's how she has always done things. She didn't get the position of the Devil King because she sat on her butt the whole time.
"Is it alright to leave her alone? She doesn't know much about this place, does she?" Tessai asked with concern. He's not worried about her safety but the things she could do to disrupt the delicate situation right now.
"It's fine. Even though she acts like a kid, she's a very shrewd one on par with Yoruichi. Let her do her own thing until she's satisfied. I assure you that she knows where to draw the line."
"I see. In that case, I'll trust her too."
Kisuke smiled at him because he knew that Tessai hardly trusts anyone after what happened more than a century ago. For him to trust someone he just met today is a huge respect to Kisuke himself, "Thank you."
Tessai nodded at him and took out some documents he recorded in the past, "After the Great War, I distanced ourselves from Seireitei for Ururu and Jinta's sake. Everything in here is some of the noteworthy events that occurred but since everything is just from what I heard and saw, it's not very reliable.
"And from all of it, there's really only one notable event that happened not long after the Great War. Since it was a highly sensitive topic and heavily suppressed by Central 46, I wasn't able to glean much from it. Even then, I could tell that it was a pretty serious event because the entirety of Karakura Town was locked in a strange barrier that day."
Kisuke browsed through the documents and listed the important points inside his head, 'The rise of a strange cult in the Human World called Xcution with knowledge of Soul Society. A very powerful Fullbringer in the middle of it. The appearance of a strange child with a similar Reiatsu as Ichigo Kurosaki and Kugo Ginjou. And a day later, the death of the controversial head of the Tsunayashiro of the Five Noble Clans.'
"It seems that it was resolved peacefully," Kisuke commented while flipping through the pages of other miscellaneous information like the current status of the surviving Quincies.
"You could say that Captain Commander Shunsui Kyouraku is doing a fine job. And I don't want to say it, but Mayuri Kurotsuchi also contributed a lot, and also probably thanks to him that Soul Society is making advances right now."
Kisuke kept the documents in his inventory while chuckling at the frowning Tessai, "You may not like how he does and sees things but that's the reason why I wanted him to succeed me. Though I also honestly didn't think that he would be that nihilistic."
"Haaahhh..." Tessai let out an exasperated sigh, "You have no idea. He started developing communication devices that could also connect to the Human World, including its internet."
"Huh? Isn't that a really great thing? Those traditional maniacs will finally be able to open to more ideas once they see the Human World culture closely... Though I hope that Mayuri added some filters to prevent anyone from diving in too deep..." Kisuke replied and a second later, thought, 'No... That's impossible, isn't it? I'd be glad if he doesn't lead others to the dubious part of the internet. Gotei 13 might just collapse.'
Tessai was able to guess what he was thinking and said, "That's also a problem, but thankfully, it's just a recent technological advancement so no one really knows how to use it aside from the messaging apps and video sharing sites. The biggest problem is his aesthetics!"
"Ahh..." Kisuke instantly understood and imagined the current Gotei 13 full of flying high-tech bugs.
"Thankfully, Akon is around and was able to push back against this with the help of Divisions and Captain Commander himself. Although extremely opposed to it, Mayuri was forced to adopt the Human World's design."
Kisuke also sighed in relief upon hearing that.
"So what's your plan now?"
"Ultimately, I want to check the one who replaced the Soul King and figure out what's going to happen now that the doors of Hell are wide open."
Tessai's brows narrowed. Although he heard Kisuke's story, he still doesn't understand why he returned when he could have stayed there in peace, 'Attachment?... or...' Tessai looked straight into his eyes and asked, "You still haven't let go of your morbid curiosity?"
Tessai knew the real reason why Kisuke created the Hougyoku and that's not because he wanted to save the Soul King from his eternal torture but wanted to see if he could make something that could replace him out of curiosity.
Kisuke leaned back, "I won't deny that, but that's not my only motivation now. Believe it or not, a lot of things have changed."
"So is it safe to assume that you won't be walking the same path as Aizen Sosuke?"
Kisuke shook his head, "Don't worry. I won't. I would never think of replacing the 'stake'. Too much spotlight for me."
Yes, Kisuke won't be replacing the 'Soul King'. He intended to do something worse and Kisuke was prepared to fight the Royal Guard.
"For now, aside from studying that 'Beast from Hell', I'd like to enroll Claire, Tanis, and Kunou in a high school."
"Hmmm... I could falsify some documents to help them enter Karakura High but that's risky."
"Please do that and leave everything else to Sera-chan."
Although Kisuke took them with him, he didn't want them to miss out on their youth.
