Volume 10 Chapter 588 - The Chaotic Return
The man in a tuxedo sighed, and with a profound voice, he spoke without his mouth moving, "Haaah… I never expected you to bring such a force in your return."
Kisuke immediately figured that the mysterious man was talking to him and replied, "Greetings, sir. It seems that you already know me, but I'll still introduce myself. I'm Kisuke Urahara, a pleasure to meet you. If it's fine with you, do you mind if I ask who you are?"
"Name…, huh… I technically don't have one, but those around me call me Chaos. You may address me as such."
Seeing the situation, Serafall approached the girls and signaled them not to move nor speak.
"But such a thing isn't important. Why are two transcendent beings entering my territory? I already signed a contract with that 'Tiger', but this is beyond the stipulations."
'Contract? Tiger?' Several things went through Kisuke's head. Although he had a guess for who he is referring to as 'Tiger', Kisuke doesn't have a single clue regarding the 'contract'.
But before he could answer, Great Red suddenly growled.
"Hmm? You're just giving them a ride? Then what about that Black Dragon?"
Great Red answered with another growl, almost snorting.
"Hmm… Now that I took a closer look, she isn't really complete as you said."
Great Red then didn't say anything else, nor Ophis. Kisuke read the mood and also didn't speak and just waited for the strange man to contemplate.
A few minutes later, he spoke again, "Fine. The black one can stay, but you can't."
Great Red snorted at him but the man didn't seem to mind it.
He then looked towards Kisuke and smiled slightly before disappearing, leaving some words, "I hope you can complete the contract soon."
Of course, Kisuke didn't like that, but he didn't show any reaction. He knew that the strange man called Chaos is at least on Great Red's level and he couldn't have done anything against him if he decided to attack while Great Red was protecting them from the void.
'So those are the identities of the eyes that I can occasionally feel… It doesn't really feel good being watched, but I can't do anything right now. Though I'm thankful that he revealed himself and some information surrounding him. Looks like bringing Great Red along is a good fortune for me.'
A second later, Great Red snorted again before splitting the space, revealing a lush blue and green world, and a city.
Seeing this, Kisuke's eyes' widened and hurriedly turned to the girls who're appreciating the beauty of the scenery. He pulled out enough black cloaks that would cover everyone and said, "Hurry up and put this on! No one should be able to see our appearances!"
There are a lot of things that Kisuke didn't expect today and that didn't bode well with him. Including the fact that they suddenly appeared on top of Orario where Gods have special eyes. He didn't know if it's an intentional move of Great Red or the beacon was already too vague for an accurate target.

It had been almost two weeks since Kisuke returned to the other side and Yoruichi and Sona were shopping for ingredients, "Haah, just when will he return?" asked Sona with a worried expression.
Yoruichi smiled at her and replied, "He has to prepare a lot of things on the other side, so it must be taking all his time. Don't worry about him too much. He can take care of himself better than anyone else."
"That doesn't sound good, though? It would really be nice if he could rely on us more."
"Well, believe it or not, in terms of that, he's a lot better than before. Most of the time, he'd take on everything from the shadows. If I didn't forcefully extend my hand, he wouldn't even remember that I could help." Yoruichi recalled the time when Kisuke and Tessai fell into Aizen's schemes and were almost executed if she didn't help them escape.
Sona knew that there's a deep secret behind Yoruichi and Kisuke's identities and their past couldn't be just being a normal human and cat. A past that even Sakura doesn't know. However, if they don't really want to tell them anything, it's fine since they aren't here to discover their past nor secrets. Sona, with her own eyes, already judged Kisuke and Yoruichi and didn't regret her situation right now.
It had only been three days since Sona, Aika and Koneko woke up and Yoruichi forbade them from diving into the Dungeon and going out without her, Kuroka and Medusa at their side. Of course, they already made a full recovery thanks to the things Kisuke left them, however, health wasn't the reason they needed to be guarded.
After Kisuke left them and just as they got out of the vicinity of the ruins where Antares was defeated, they came across the Freya Familia with Freya herself leading it.
Although she came with an overwhelming force that was several times stronger than the whole Hermes Familia, she only said that she came to take a look since she became curious. Freya also didn't use any force to ask questions and left it alone if Hermes, Hestia, and Artemis didn't want to answer.
All in all, it only seemed that she came to meet their group in vain. Freya tried to observe Yoruichi during the entire duration and tried asking for Kisuke's whereabouts, but thankfully, they didn't stay with the group for too long and left for the ruins.
They only returned a day after they successfully returned to Orario and were immediately reprimanded by the Guild for leaving during an emergency crisis. However, Freya wouldn't really mind the fine and loss of reputation due to this.
Almost two weeks after the explosion of Divine Power and monsters trying to attack the surface, everyone is still asked by the Guild not to leave in case that something else happens. The atmosphere within Orario had largely abated and normal everyday lives had returned to everyone. Until a certain shopkeeper brought another trouble to the City of Adventurers and almost scared everyone in it to death.
On a bright, sunny, and cheerful day, the sky suddenly darkened as darkness suddenly opened up not far from Orario, and a gigantic red Dragon emerged.
It was unknown who first did it, but as soon as the fearsome monster appeared, a shout of dread accompanied it and from then on, it was a chorus of fear, despair, and hopelessness.
Some immediately dropped down to the ground and started crying, others started running towards their respective Familias, and while a few started rallying Adventurers and tried to get the advice of the Gods. However, few of them noticed that even the Gods were panicking in the face of this 'monster' that came from the sky instead of the Dungeon.
Meanwhile, Yoruichi and Sona were both making a blank expression as they looked up to the sky, "Uhmm… Yoruichi… For some reason, that Dragon is incredibly familiar to me," muttered Sona.
With a dry laugh, Yoruichi replied, "Ahaha… What a coincidence… Me too," She then started running towards their place and said, "For now, let's return to everyone. That idiot… He left quietly but couldn't he return the same way? Though, I must admit. That looks fun."
While following her, Sona answered, "This is the part where you're supposed to be reprimanding him!"
