Volume 4 Chapter 141 - Touch Down
The next day, Kisuke in casual wear and a backpack on his back. There are just a few necessities inside it and most of the space is for Yoruichi. He doesn't need luggage anyway as he already has all he needs in a separate space, including large amounts of portable Gigai that can be useful in many situations.
"Do you have everything you need?" Even though Sakura already knew the answer to this question, she still wanted to ask him this as his mother.
"Yep~. We'll be going now. It'll probably take a week or two."
"Take care." Sakura gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"You too, take care. I'll bring back some souvenirs." Kisuke also returned the hug.
"All right. My expectations aren't that high. I wouldn't even mind if you bring me another daughter-in-law." Sakura is of course just joking when she said this.
"… I don't think that'll happen… I'm just going to for a short vacation."
"Hehehe… Who knows? Your antics are very charming for some girls. You might snag one by just walking through the streets." Sakura is still indeed joking, but remembering the girls around him, she wasn't so sure anymore, 'I didn't jinx it… right?'
"W-well then mom, I gotta go! Or I might miss my plane." Kisuke didn't want to agree to her words, but he also couldn't deny her as it goes against his pride of handsome shopkeeper that charms(annoys) all ladies.
Kisuke took a taxi like a normal person with Yoruichi in her cat form peeking from the bag. Since Yoruichi essentially doesn't 'exist' in Human society, she can't take any flight to anywhere without proper identification. They could easily request the Devils for it but it'll take some time and Yoruichi didn't really want to deal with them aside from her acquaintances which is Sona, Tsubaki, and Koneko. Yoruichi, however, can easily bypass the security measures of the airport without much effort so the need to get an I.D. reduces further.
The Devils in the airport spotted Kisuke and reported it to their higher-ups as he is one of the persons of interest connected to Yoruichi who are they looking for.
Kisuke noticed them and their actions but ignored it because they didn't do anything beyond recording information and Kisuke can easily manipulate that.
Kisuke boarded the plane while Yoruichi is brazenly standing on his head, but no one noticed her as she's being hidden by Kisuke's invention that is a small scale illusion generating choker equipped on her neck.
This is actually their first time to board an airplane and quite excited about it. Kisuke and Yoruichi just had to explore the whole plane's every nook and cranny.
Just this experience is worth their whole trip. The two got tired and rested the rest of the flight and only woke up when they landed on Athens International Airport.
Kisuke didn't contact Cleria so she doesn't know that he would arrive today. Kisuke and Yoruichi wanted to go around by themselves. A date in other words.
The first thing they did is to go to the money exchanger booth for some local cash that they can spend. After that, they looked through the brochure that they got when at the airport to plan their route. Since they aren't exactly like a normal couple that kept giggling at each other like an idiot, they chose the places where they could experience things that they can't do normally.
It's about 6:30 in the morning and the first thing they decided to do is fishing. Both of them haven't experienced it and wanted to do it now that have a chance.
They didn't want to waste time by going through the fishing tours and since Kisuke already have all they needed in his inventory including diving and fishing equipment, they only had to choose the place to fish. And they chose to go to the Port City of Athens, Piraeus.
Until now, Kisuke is still being tracked by the Devils but they haven't realized Yoruichi's existence. Entering a random street after exiting the airport, Kisuke took out a gigai he can control remotely when his trackers weren't looking and left the scene using Flash Step. He intended for the gigai to stay in a random hotel for the whole duration of their trip.
Now that the eyes that were following him were out of the way, Kisuke changes his outfit to blend in with the locals. He also used illusion magic to dye his hair black and finally took out a small candy. This candy is another one of Kisuke's creations that can temporarily change the takers' magical signature to avoid pinpoint detections. It lasts about 3 hours each take and you can eat the next one before the effect disappears for another 3 hours of the magical signature change. There are, of course, limitations. First is, you can't take it 10 times a row and have to rest for 3 hours or else the Mana inside the body will start to wreak havoc due to constant change. And second, the use of magic within a certain threshold will render this candy ineffective. However, even with limitations like those, it's certainly is useful for situations like these.
Kisuke can actually change his own magical signature without the candy's help, but he would have to dedicate a certain amount of focus on it, taking away some of his enjoyment in this trip.
Using Flash Step and covering his tracks, Kisuke only took a few minutes to reach Piraeus from the vicinity of the airport. Although he moving too fast for humans are most of the supernatural beings, he still didn't forget to appreciate the metropolis of Athens with Yoruichi peeking from his backpack.
Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. Athens dominates the Attica region and is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years and its earliest human presence started somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennium BC.
The heritage of the classical era is still evident in the city, represented by ancient monuments and works of art, the most famous of all being the Parthenon, considered a key landmark of early Western civilization. The city also retains Roman and Byzantine monuments, as well as a smaller number of Ottoman monuments.
Finding another secluded alley and setting up a concealing barrier, Kisuke prompted Yoruichi to come out from his bag.
Yoruichi transformed back to her human form, "Finally! Where do we go!? Let's go!"
"For starters, put on some clothes." Kisuke took out a set of clothes for Yoruichi.
"Oh… Thanks." Yoruichi happily put a show in front of him. Kisuke wanted to 'attack' her but figure that he could do that later and much more.
Yoruichi could have conjured clothes for herself but the clothes Kisuke handed to her is another one of his creations. Its effects are simple, it can change both of her Reiatsu-Ki and magical signatures. Since she's technically a wanted woman, Kisuke put more focus on her concealment. But due to a small time frame, he could only create one set of this clothing, so Kisuke put as many extra features in it as possible.
The first extra is the ability to change its appearance. There are multiple presets that Yoruichi can choose from and some of the designs are cosplay which is Kisuke's interest. Another extra is the ability to clean itself automatically. Other extra features are just some small convenient things like temperature control and automatic repair.
After putting it on, Yoruichi jumped to Kisuke like a little girl and grabbed his left arm, "So? Where do we go?"
Kisuke smiled and pinched her nose playfully, "We book a hotel first."
"We aren't going to Cleria's place today, bad boy?" Yoruichi replied with a playful smile.
"What? You don't want to stay a night first with just the two of us?"
"Who said that? Let's go!"
