Volume 6 Chapter 281 - Plans for the Future part 1
The moment they landed, Kisuke immediately put up an isolation barrier around them, "Yoruichi, sorry for asking this after you just wake up, but please check everyone's condition as I check the atmosphere… If it's the same thing that happens to us the first time, then we're probably on the whole other universe…"
"Got it… But I can only do basic checks on everyone…" Yoruichi nodded and placed everyone side by side to monitor their conditions. Since they arrived here with their own bodies, they don't know if the atmosphere is suitable for them despite the apparent similarities in the appearance of this world has from the previous worlds they have been.
Thirty minutes into inspecting, Kisuke turned around, "The air ratio is more or less similar and we should be fine. This world also has Mana and its density is lesser than the previous world… As for spiritual energy… it's strangely dense. Almost half of the spiritual energy density of Soul Society… No… There must be almost infinite worlds out there of something like this should be normal…"
Yoruichi nodded and reported her findings, "Nothing out of ordinary from everyone. Normal pace of breathing, normal temperature, and no weird rashes or color on their skin… But I can't tell if there is anything wrong with just that."
"That's enough for now. Our problem, for now, is the microbes and viruses. For you and I, it's not a problem, but for others, especially for Sona, who is very weak right now, it could be fatal." Kisuke put down the barrier as it's no use for blocking micro-organisms.
"So what's the plan?"
"We don't have any information and entering that city more than 20 kilometers away isn't ideal and we don't even know if we look the same as the inhabitants of this world. So for now… Yoruichi, please scout the forest behind us and see where we could build a temporary lodging. I'll do some in-depth checks on the girls' conditions and make sure that nothing is amiss or any complications."
"Understood."
"Be careful…"
"I will…" Yoruichi then turned around and entered the forest to do her search.
Ten meters inside the forest, Yoruichi used her Reiatsu-Ki to scan her surroundings and find any living beings. The moment she used it, she immediately found multiple readings while most of them are insects and small animals, Yoruichi detected strange creatures and approached them by silently jumping from tree branch to tree branch.
A few seconds later, she landed on a certain branch that can overlook the creatures from above and hid her body behind the trunk. Peeking, Yoruichi saw three green and plump humanoid creatures with large red eyes. They are short and they have razor-like yellowish teeth. Each one of them is carrying rusted short swords and are only wearing loincloth to cover their lower bodies, 'If this is like those games and animes… They would be goblins… But since this is another world, I'm probably wrong.' Yoruichi thought as she first saw them and continued her observation.
'Those short swords… Iron… no… It's steel. So there is someone capable of forging those. But then again, after seeing that city from afar, that should be obvious. But these little green creatures don't know how to maintain it so chances are they're not the ones who made it… I guess they are not intelligent enough to take care of their weapons and all of those are probably stolen. They're most probably hostile creatures but let's leave them alone for now and properly search for a large clearing.'
With that in mind, Yoruichi used Flash Step and disappeared from her spot to continue her search. It took her an hour or so to find a suitable place and within that duration, she found multiple groups of green humanoid creatures but didn't engage in any of them. She also found another creature which is an upright standing dog. Although curious she ignored it for now and returned to where Kisuke and the rest are.
Yoruichi led Kisuke while both of them are carrying everyone with Kidou to the spot she found. After checking the place and the surroundings, Kisuke started his construction. Using his technology, the trees around, and random things that came from his inventory that he miraculously preserved through that dimension travel, he was able to build a simple two-story building with enough rooms for everyone within just half an hour.
"Whew~. Looks like everything is in place." Kisuke muttered as he and Yoruichi place everyone in a big room to easily monitor their conditions, "If nothing goes wrong, they should wake up tonight."
Kisuke then faced Yoruichi and said, "You should rest. I'll take care of everything for now."
Yoruichi shook her head and answered, "No… Before we came here, all I did is sleep so I don't want to return to bed just yet."
"Is that so? Then take a hot bath first to refresh yourself. I'll prepare food while you're at it."
Yoruichi stood up from her chair and nodded, "Good idea~. Even though I was able to remove my sweat through magic, I still can't settle down without water running through my skin."
After her bath, Yoruichi went to the kitchen area and Kisuke is already done preparing the food for both of them. Sitting down, Yoruichi started attacking every dish on the table as this will be her first meal since she was poisoned more than two weeks ago, "What should we do now?" She asked after swallowing the fried chicken.
"Our first and foremost objective is recovery, but that will take months even if we focus on it. So in between rests, we'll gather as much information as possible." Kisuke replied.
"Should I go to that city?" Yoruichi suggested.
Kisuke immediately shook his head, "No. Although you can move more stealthy than me, I can respond to more things than you. So going to an unknown city with unknown inhabitants, I'm more suited."
"Then leave the forest to me. You'll probably create another underground base under this so while you're at it, I'll look around. There are many interesting things in here, after all."
"Got it. Our next immediate objective is strengthening everyone. This world could be dangerous so we need to teach them how to defend themselves even when both of us are not around. Although I can't see that happening now, it's still a possibility that we should watch out for."
"You arrange their schedule and I'll do the supervising… Enough with that for now. I want your plans for the long term."
"Of course, that is finding a way to return."
Yoruichi stayed silent for a bit before asking, "To where?"
It's Kisuke's turn to stay silent.
"We should return where your mother is so that we could return the favor those bastards has done to us, but ever since arriving here, I can tell that you've become restless. Now that the possibility of returning to the Soul Society rose, you've been thinking about it all this time, right?"
Kisuke smiled wryly in response, "I really can't hide things from you…"
"I'm not your lover for nothing…" Yoruichi chuckled, "So? Tell me. It's not like you to become like this at the thought of returning to his former home. Although I can understand your excitement, it shouldn't warrant this kind of reaction from you."
"…" Kisuke stared at Yoruichi for a while before answering, "The world we came from… and this world… Is very stable…"
"?" Yoruichi looked at him with confusion.
"Let me get this straight then. As long as the Soul King exists, Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, the Dangai, and Material World will forever be an artificial existence that could collapse any time."
