"You'll be going back to Japan sooner than I thought~."
"What? Why? Did you finish making those disguises already? I thought it'll take a few more days to make those?" Cleria furrowed her brows in the sudden change of plan. Although they would like to return to Japan, they are still in the midst of preparing things to leave.
Kisuke drank his coffee first before speaking, "I can rush it if I focus on it. It'll only take a day or two if I do that."
"So you'll be going to rush it? Does that girl change your mind? Who is she?" Masaomi gets what he's hinting.
"I just want to make sure that you'll be able to escape in time and unharmed before things go out of control." Kisuke chuckled.
"Things will go out of control? Why do you sound so happy?" Yoruichi asks him, although, she already knew his answer.
"Of course I'll be happy. First of all, this isn't our backyard and I can do whatever we want as long as they don't know it's me!"
"Uhmm... Yoruichi-san... Please translate." Cleria turned to Yoruichi for her to help her process his words.
"He just means that this isn't his territory."
"And?"
"He's just a jerk that doesn't care if he destroys other people's house just because he intentionally joined the ruckus."
"The worst..." Masaomi and Cleria both muttered.
"Hahaha~. Please don't praise me! I easily get embarrased~." Kisuke scratched the back of his head genuinely embarrassed.
"We're not praising you!" The husband and wife both gritted their teeth and thought, 'Dammit! Why is it so easy to lose composure in front of him!?'
"Well, setting that aside, I want to clarify one thing." Yoruichi reached out to his thigh and pinched it slightly.
"Not the thigh, Yoruichi... Not that part because it hurts like hell!"
Ignoring his pleas, Yoruichi slowly tightened her pinch as she asks, "Based on your words just now, it'll only be you who can let loose. What about me? Why can't I do it?"
"Yoruichi-san? Yoruichi-sama!? Ow! It hurts! It really hurts! Ow! Ow! Please don't use so much force just to pinch me! I can explain!"
"Go on... I'm listening..."
"Huuu... Haaa... First of all, ow ow ow... Everyone already knows how you look like and your main technique. Huuuuhaaaaa... So letting you out there will only reveal our identities! Owowow! Please stop now! It won't leave a mark, but it seriously hurts!"
Yoruichi let go of Kisuke's thigh, but still unsatisfied, "But I also want to let loose! It's a good chance to destroy stuff without feeling guilty!"
Kisuke sighed and rubbed the part where Yoruichi pinched, "I know how you feel but you already got your turn in the Rating Game."
"That doesn't count!" Although Yoruichi understood his point, she didn't want to give up this 'great' chance.
"Not now Yoruichi. I want to try some of my abilities this time. And remember that the terrorist group that Kuroka is part of is now having some interest in Kuoh Town. I'll let you have your turn then." Kisuke then brought out some yogurt to calm her down.
"... Fine. I hope those terrorist don't disappoint me." She accepted his offering and back down while thinking that she can't really hide her technique, 'I should learn some other things in the future. My techniques are strong but it's easy to recognize and I also don't want any responsibility after destroying stuff.'
"I can now understand why she became his wife..." Masaomi couldn't help but say.
"I understand you, but please do say it out loud... That's rude." Cleria followed up, though, she's also being rude with that kind of reply.
"Ehem... We can speed up our preparations. In two days, we'll be ready to move." Masaomi forcibly changes the topic.
"Now that is out of the way, what does this girl have to do with all of this." Cleria is referring to the woman that Kisuke brought in earlier.
Kisuke entered his thinking mode and muttered, "Let's see... Her situation is a bit special."
"Special? How so?"
"First is her body is artificially created."
"... That's indeed a bit special."
"But not enough to be really special as artificial bodies aren't exactly rare these days."
"What if I said that her body is completely made out of pure Mana?"
"What!? That may be possible but there are many things that won't add up if that is the case! First is constructing a body out of pure Mana would require huge amounts of effort!"
"Hooh? It's a public thing that you can create a body out of pure Mana?"
"Someone tried it in the past. It took them their whole lives to research about it and managed to create one body. Due to its enormous complexity, just creating one would take 300 years or so."
"That's long..."
"It is, and it isn't even the biggest drawback."
"Hooh... So this reason why things don't add up. What is it?"
"It is impossible to house a soul inside a mana constructed body."
"...I see. If what you're saying is true, then it really doesn't add up. I'm pretty sure that girl has a soul." Kisuke muttered and thought to himself, 'Even from those years ago, Mana and Reiatsu reacts violently if it touches each other. I have to carefully weave both of them so they wouldn't explode. But then again, I was successful at combining them, so it isn't entirely impossible, just very hard.'
"That's why I want to ask, is it really a body made out of Mana?"
"Yes, it is. And there is another thing special about her. Her body is modeled after a human body but her soul is anything but human."
"Soul? What kind of soul is it then? A Devil's? Or some other being?"
"Not sure. That's the first time I've seen something like that. But I'm sure that it isn't a soul of a Devil, Fallen Angel or a nekomata."
"Well, it's not like I have the power to peek at souls like you do... But seriously... How are you doing that?"
"Trade secret~."
"Haah... Moving on, what else makes you think that we have to move ahead of schedule."
"Although I don't have any evidence right now, she's probably the person this so-called Perseus Clan is chasing."
"Is that so? Then we really have to speed up our preparations. Well then, if you'll excuse us. We have to use every time we could get."
"Then I won't disturb you both~."
They all stood up and went to their respective rooms. This night and next will be a very busy time for them.
Returning to their room, Kisuke put up another silencing barrier and laid down on the bed. Yoruichi followed him and laid down with him before asking, "What else did you find out? From the reasons you stated earlier, you could just nurse her back to health and study her for a bit before letting her go again."
"As expected of my wife~. You really know how I do things~."
"Enough with that, tell what else you found out."
"Another two things. The first one is there are two other souls residing inside her. They're very weak, almost to the point of dissipating. Good thing I found on time or else those souls would have disappeared."
"So you help those two other souls... Why?"
"How do I say this... It feels like they are protecting the core of that woman's soul? Or trying to keep something from getting out?"
"Hmmm... What's the second one then?"
Kisuke demeanor suddenly became cold after Yoruichi ask this.
Yoruichi thinks for a while before speaking again, "So it's related to the fact you felt disgusted when we encounter her before..."
Furrowing his brows, Kisuke nodded, "Ah..."
