After a short but meaningful conversation with Issei, Kisuke said his goodbyes and returned to the Mars base alone to think about the information he'd gotten.
Sitting in his office, Kisuke brought up all the files and documents that were related to 'another world' and 'world travel' through a holographic screen and reviewed them a few times, making sure that he didn't miss anything and updating any outdated entries. A few hours later, Kisuke rested his back on his chair and sighed, "There are still so many things that I don't know."
Recalling his earlier conversation, Kisuke muttered, "Evie Eltoulde. A world where only two races were left. An unending war between mechanical lifeforms and spiritual lifeforms, Evie and Eltoulde respectively."
Issei came to know this information after a being called Chimune Chipaoti appeared in his dreams and warned him of the incoming threat after the world came to know the existence of this world. And it wasn't just any sort of warning since this being also asked Issei to find his 12 Heavenly Breasts that would help him gain more power and have a fighting chance.
'12 Heavenly Breasts? What the hell does that mean? Though it seems Issei knew exactly what she was referring to. How ridiculous.'
But as ridiculous as it is, it also as terrifying to Kisuke's ears, 'Having an authority over 'Breasts' is still an 'authority', a power that's capable of manipulating or bypassing the basic rules of everything at a large scale, making her a step above the Deities and entering the territory of Transcendents. But the problem is, she's just one of many.'
To Kisuke, the Evie faction that was led by three Transcedants feels as if the Soul King, Aizen, and Yhwach came together and joined hands to invade, giving Kisuke a shudder, "This won't do. My preparations are far from enough."
The chasing feeling that weighed heavily on his mind transformed and became a guillotine blade that's hanging on his neck, causing him no small amount of headache, 'There are still a few options, but they are so contradicting and the chances of them actually working is just wishful thinking or the opponents being stupid.'
All of a sudden, however, Kisuke's cane started shaking, pulling him out of his contemplation. But instead of doing anything, Kisuke just curiously watched as his Zanpakuto slowly floated away from him before emitting a blinding crimson light.
As soon as the flood of light went away, Kisuke was flabbergasted to see a tall black-haired beautiful woman in a blood-red flower-themed kimono standing in front of him while holding his cane, "If you're so afraid of their boy band, why not gather one of your own?"
Kisuke was incredibly curious about her words, but first and foremost, he'd like some clarification, "How are you doing this, Benihime?"
Benihime giggled and played around with the cane while finding the time to sit down, "I took inspiration from the Wandenreich's Medallion and tried taking myself out of the confines of the blade. It seems like it was a success."
Kisuke rubbed his forehead and said, "That's amazing, really. As expected of my partner. But couldn't you at least give me a heads up of what you were planning to do?"
"Do I have to?"
"...No. It's just that I'd really appreciate it and could have prepared myself a bit."
"It's your thing to prepare for the unforeseeable, so deal with it." The cane in Benihime's hand then spontaneously burned in crimson flames for a few seconds before returning to its original form, a katana, and placing it on her side.
"You're taking the blade too?"
"You have Hakuda, Kidou, Magic, Ki, and Hollowfication, while I only have Zanjutsu. Isn't it the most logical choice?" Immediately after, however, Benihime's casual tone became cold as she gave Kisuke a piercing stare, "But don't you dare use another blade as a substitute for me."
'How unreasonable.' Kisuke thought while immediately replying, "My Shunko could use some practice so I'll stick to that for now."
Benihime smiled happily at his response, but anyone who knew how she truly behaved would be frozen in fear. After all, any other answer would have resulted in her swinging around the sword in her hand and blood blooming.
"Anyway, going back, what do you mean by assembling my own boy band?"
"You know what I meant. The question is how, but that isn't my problem to solve." Standing up from her seat, Benihime walked towards Kisuke and extended her hand with an open palm, "Give me some allowance. I want to go around."
Kisuke didn't immediately give in to her demands and stared at her while deep in thoughts.
"I know common sense so you don't have to worry about me just randomly slashing. And isn't it convenient for you to have someone who has no connection to anyone, can move in complete darkness, and doesn't need any medium to directly communicate with you?"
"You'd do that?"
"I'm just doing my part while experiencing a Human's life."
Kisuke sighed and took out a card and a passbook from his inventory, "This is one of our biggest accounts that are hidden within the Human World. Use the name in it and spend it however you want." Benihime's words are the truth since it'd be really convenient if he could get someone outside of his circle, 'By now, those large factions should already have the information of everyone around me.'
Benihime received the card and the passbook and saw the name used on it, 'Benihime Urahara', "I'll do just that~!" Turning around happily, she intended to leave the base and go find a suitable apartment before going into a shopping spree. But just as she was about to pass through the door, Benihime turned around and said, "Before I forget, let me tell you that you're being emotionally impulsive."
Kisuke was surprised yet again but continued to listen to her valuable perspective.
"I can understand that because you have a lot of things you want to protect now and even the thoughts of revenge are bothering you. However, let me remind you that leaving Hades and Olympus alone may do you better in the long run. I know you're already aware of this and at this point, they don't really pose any threat to you anymore, so why not just make use of them just like what you've always done?"
"...Just let the bomb continue ticking, huh? You think that'll make a difference?"
"I don't know but it's a start. Either way, it won't end well for them."
"...I'll think about it."
"I see. Good luck~!"
Kisuke felt Benihime's presence disappear the moment she reached the teleportation room and sighed again, "I guess I'm really just being too emotional. Instead of them, I should focus on finalizing the World-tying Rite."
Little did he know that he'd immensely regret allowing Benihime to move on her own.
