Chapter 1153 Busted
Flanna stared at the unknown woman for a moment and understood her current state, "Were you brought here for treatment?"
Soifon didn't really know her exact situation so she could only nod, "I think so."
"Fumu, fumu..." Flanna nodded in understanding, "Boss is quite busy right now so he won't be able to attend to you. In any case, it seems you're not in any immediate danger as long as that icky disgusting thing inside you doesn't spread further."
"Boss?" Soifon is still not sure if she's really in the 12th Division until now, 'No one refers to Captain Kurotsuchi as 'Boss'. More importantly, I remembered now. Although a bit older, she has the same face as those highly sought-after students, Ophis and Lilith... What's the connection here?'
"Boss is boss." Flanna answered before pointing at her attire, "Are you not going to do anything to fix your clothes?"
Soifon inadvertently looked down on her hand clutching at her almost useless clothes, "This is already beyond fixing. Do you know where I could get a replacement?"
"Hmmm? Are you weakened enough that you can't fix it?" Flanna rubbed her chin and contemplated.
Soifon, on the other hand, was quite confused at her words, 'Can't fix it? Well maybe if I had half of Shutara's ability.'
While Soifon is wondering if the red-haired lady is expecting her to weave back her Shihakushou when she suddenly raised her hand towards her and a red Magic Circle appeared in front of her, "!?"
Soifon already saw this phenomenon from the images that the Visual Department released after the fight between Kenpachi and their guest, Serafall. She knew that this was a signal for some sort of attack but she was too weakened right now and could barely walk straight so there was nothing she could do aside from raising both of her arms in front of her body and gritting her teeth, 'She related to Sitri Serafall!? And why all of a sudden? I've been very careful with what I've been saying!'
But after a gust of wind, nothing happened, 'Hmmm?' And when Soifon looked at the red-haired lady, she was making a confused expression, "What are you doing?" Immediately after, however, realization dawned on her face, "Ah! I forgot that this world doesn't know about Magic. Don't worry, that's just a simple restoration spell." Flanna added while pointing at her clothes.
Soifon looked down and was shocked to see that her Shihakushou was fully restored, "H-How?"
Flanna ignored Soifon's question and approached her before grabbing her arm, "Follow me to the dining room. What you need right now is food to restore your strength."
Since everyone else was busy, Flanna took it upon herself to entertain their 'guest', 'I don't know how to cook but Blacky and little Blacky should be in the dining room too. I think they learned how to do it from that strict Elf.' Flanna thought to herself while dragging along the confused Soifon.
Soifon is afraid that she might become hostile so she let herself be dragged and on their way to the dining room, Soifon saw a window and peeked through it, 'A barren wasteland? Where am I, really?'
A minute later, they reached their destination, and Flanna, without any warning, kicked the door open, "Blacky and little Blacky! Prepare something! It's our turn to entertain the guests!"
Ophis and Lilith, who were very worried about Claire, couldn't do anything but skip their classes. In order to comfort themselves, Ophis and Lilith took out their precious bananas and were even prepared to share them with the detestable red who suddenly returned from the west after hearing their current situation and keep her from interrupting Kisuke and the others who were all working very hard to stabilize Claire.
While they were thinking hard about what they should do next, the detestable red kicked open the door and the two of them were about to throw the banana they were eating into her mouth to shut her up when they saw who she brought with her.
At first, they thought that she was quite familiar but it only took them another second to realize who she was, and at the same time, Ophis and Lilith turned their heads away from them and continued munching on their bananas, trying to ignore them and hoped that Soifon didn't notice them.
Of course, that was only wishful thinking on their part as Soifon muttered their names with an unbelieving expression, "Ophis... and Lilith?"
""Ugh."" Ophis and Lilith groaned and were trying to figure out how they could escape this.
"Oh? You know them?" The oblivious Flanna, meanwhile, innocently asked Soifon.
Ophis and Lilith slowly turned to Flanna and glared at her before saying at the same time, ""Stupid red."" The two of them really wanted to inform Kisuke or Serafall about this turn of events but they were very afraid that they might accidentally make a mistake and put Claire's life in jeopardy.
And as always, Flanna brushed off their glares and entered the room with Soifon, "Blacky, little Blacky, could you prepare some food?" Flanna saw that their glares became worse so she immediately added, "Please?"
Ophis and Lilith couldn't help but sigh and Flanna mistook that for them agreeing, "Great! If possible, something filling and nutritious. This lass here needs it."
Soifon wanted to say something to them but they were obviously avoiding eye contact with her and as if escaping, they went to the kitchen on the side, 'J-just what are they doing here? And how are they related to Sitri Serafall? Could they be spies who are trying to infiltrate Gotei 13?' Although she only met them one time, she'll never be able to forget how they released a Reiatsu that could almost rival a Captain and their utter incompetence in controlling said power.
Flanna then suddenly turned to Soifon, feeling the disturbance in her demeanor, "You don't have to worry about them. They're good kids."
Meanwhile, Ophis and Lilith started preparing food and they chose to do something simple and easy, a congee and some side dishes. After years of studying and trying to not make a biological bomb, they were already capable of making much more complicated dishes. However, they opted for a simple one so that they could focus their attention on the room not far from where they are.
They intended to inform Kisuke and Serafall of what happened the moment they came out of it. Thankfully, they could still rest easy because there's no way for Soifon to leave this isolated space.
