Chapter 1154 End of Book 16: Busted part 2
Ophis and Lilith managed to finish their cooking without any incidents and brought the dishes out of the kitchen.
Seeing that the two of them still won't make any eye contact with her, Soifon already assumed that they won't be answering any of her questions, 'In the first place, I'm not in a position to ask any questions. It's great that they haven't killed me to silence me.'
She only hesitated for a moment before grabbing the spoon, "Thank you." What she needed more than anything right now was to replenish her strength so that her range of action could widen and put the grip of her life back to her hands.
It was a normal congee, even then, it's very filling for Soifon and glad that it wasn't poisoned even though there's no reason to believe otherwise. Of course, she wasn't just eating and continued observing her surroundings.
The first thing she found out is that the building they were in right now is not made out of Reishi but with physical matter. However, she's not sure if she's in the Human World either because the concentration of the Reiryoku in the air was on par with Soul Society itself, way more than places designated as Concentrated Spirit Zones like the Karakura Town.
Another thing that she noticed was that Ophis and Lilith are too innocent and naive to even do any spying activities. She had this impression when the two of them kept glancing out of the window, towards the other part of the mansion that could be seen from the dining room, 'Or are they just baiting me?'
Meanwhile, the 'big sister' seems to be nonchalant about everything and Soifon couldn't get any proper reads on her.
Soifon sighed as she only got more questions instead of any answers. Fortunately for her, she didn't have to wait long to discover something big.
Just as she was about to finish her meal, Ophis and Lilith suddenly stood up from their seats and Flanna raised her hand and conjured a barrier. The next instant, the place that Ophis and Lilith were stealing glances from suddenly exploded.
Ophis and Lilith both made a nervous expression and the smile on Flanna's face disappeared while muttering, "Did they fail?"
Soifon was about to ask what's happening when unexpectedly, a strangely familiar figure walked out of the smoke dust and debris, dusting his strangely familiar green themed Shihakushou and white and green striped bucket hat, "Well, that was an explosive ending. Redirecting that stream of Holy Power back into the world was a lot harder than I thought."
Immediately after, a dusty, twintailed beautiful woman followed him out, "Must be because of the attraction to Claire-chan's Holy Power system. Do you think Heaven noticed this?"
"I'm not sure but I'll try to find... that... out..." Kisuke slowly turned towards Serafall but midway through it, his head slowly halted when a certain person came into his view and his voice trailed off, "Shit... I forgot about her."
Not even a second after that, Kisuke received a telepathic message from both Ophis and Lilith, [[Kisuke, someone from school saw us.]] Kisuke appreciated the heads up, but it was a little bit too late.
Serafall also turned to the direction he was looking and saw a very shocked Shinigami staring at Kisuke, "Oops... Wait, why is she here?"
Kisuke scratched his head, "I brought her in to be treated since you trapped the Kurosakis within that field. I forgot about her until now." He then slowly walked back into the room before saying, "I'm sorry but I'll have to leave her in your care for now. My current priority is to make sure that Claire won't explode like that again."
Serafall followed him with her eyes and saw him pick up several storage devices, "The earlier it's resolved, the better, right? Thank you for the hard work."
"Thank you for the hard work too." Kisuke replied and turned to the sleeping Tanis, Kunou, and Claire, "I guess we have to ask the school for a week off for them."
"I'll take care of it."
"Thanks." Kisuke then left the room and went straight to his laboratory.
Serafall sighed and smiled wryly, 'Can't take a break, huh?'
She then turned to the sleeping girls and teleported them to their rooms after cleaning their bodies. Serafall also wanted to restore the room but decided against it because Kisuke might need some information from the room itself.
And after making sure that everything was taken care of, Serafall finally turned her attention to the most troublesome thing. Soifon was still making the shock-stunned expression she'd made earlier so she didn't immediately fly to her side and instead went back to the destroyed room and took the hallway, 'Now then... How should I deal with her? If I remember correctly, she's Yoru-chan's trusted subordinate and a big fan of her according to Ki-tan.'
She considered lying but threw that idea away immediately, 'We have the upper hand and she can't leave this place without our permission. If done right, we could have her help the Captain Commander maneuver inside the Seireitei.'
Although Shunsui Kyouraku was helping them, there wasn't really much he could do with just him with the eyes of the Central 46 mostly on him.
'But can we really convert someone who's very loyal to the Seireitei?' Serafall thought to herself, 'But if we bind her using a curse or contract, the most we could expect is her silence and non-involvement. That's too much of a waste. She already knows Ki-tan's existence so it'll be very detrimental if she suddenly finds a loophole.'
Serafall concluded that she didn't know enough about the person called Soifon to establish any negotiation table, 'I guess I'll have to keep her in here for now until Ki-tan is finally done with his work.'
Serafall reached the door to the dining room and opened it, "Soifon-chan, isn't it? It's our first time meeting in person. Nice to meet you, I'm Sitri Serafall, you can call me Sera-chan~!"
Soifon was still looking at the destroyed room and when she heard Serafall introduce herself, she slowly turned to her and asked, "W-was that Urahara Kisuke!?"
Serafall calmly walked towards the table and patted Ophis and Lilith's heads who were looking guilty and thinking that it was their fault that Kisuke was discovered, "Yes. And to make things clear, he didn't come from Hell and is very much alive. The same could be said with Yoru-chan... er... Yoruichi-chan, but she's not here right now."
Soifon's eyes widened further and she almost tripped while approaching Serafall, "P-please! Please tell me everything you know! And where's Urahara Kisuke!? I want to talk to him right now!"
"Slow down, girl. I obviously can't tell you everything and you probably heard our conversation earlier. Ki-tan is a bit busy right now so you'll have to settle with me for company. For now, why don't we sit and calm down?"
