Chapter 1089 Return part 2

Serafall nodded at Kisuke's question, "We're good. This is what we'll use if we come across a Hollow, right?"

"Correct. Since I adapted the Zanpakuto technology into it, it should have the same 'purification' effect on Hollows. As long as you have it out, it'll automatically change your attacks to be compatible with the Hollows as a normal Zanpakuto does."

Except for Ophis, Lilith, and Flanna, everyone else had received their Soul Gear for the first time not long ago. Due to them not wanting to get used to it while they were still training their skills, Claire, Tanis, and Kunou refused to receive their Soul Gears. Serafall, on the other hand, didn't have the opportunity to get one until recently so they all got theirs from Kisuke.

Starting from Tanis, her Soul Gear was in the form of a ring that could transform into various types of knuckles and could even adjust its size if she were to transform her arms into Dragon form.

For Kunou, what she got was a folding fan when Kisuke asked her what form of Soul Gear she wanted. Unlike Tanis' Soul Gear's strength augmentation ability, her folding fan could supplement and provide finer control to her Ki and Magic Power for more effective use of Youjutsu. In addition to that, it also helps her further control her powerful Fox Fire that could already rival a prominent Dragon's fire.

Kisuke also hid that it had some added effects to help her control her Fox Dragon Mode. But since it's her ace that could also harm her, he didn't tell her about it, 'She didn't use it last time because it'd be too much for a 'friendly' spar, but I seriously want to see it. How the heck did she develop that just by staying near Ophis, Lilith, and Flanna? Is it because of her Ninetails legacy?'

That aside, Claire requested a bow that could transform into whatever type of bow she desires. As for the arrow or bolt, they are created with her own Light Power as she draws them. If not for the golden light and lack of Reiatsu, she would be mistaken as a Quincy.

Lastly, Serafall got a Magic Wand with a star and wings on its head. Not in the least surprising.

Although it also had the ability to help her control her Magic, it's not really effective for someone of her level. For her, the other ability is much more important, which is a transformation with an accompanying mysterious beam of light to cover her important parts. Kisuke had a feeling that if she was left alone, he'd witness the revival of the Magical Girl Squad from years ago. Nevertheless, he's not the type to ruin the fun, 'Karakura-Raizer will finally have a strong rival~! I wonder if they are still active?'

Soon enough, they landed and they immediately left the airport after cleaning everything up.

With Ophis and Lilith in their little girl forms and riding on his shoulders, Kisuke led the way and started running to the western side of Tokyo and along the way, Serafall and Kunou picked up something on their senses, "What's that?" Asked the latter.

"Those are the Hollows that I was talking about," Kisuke answered her.

Thanks to Kunou's Youkai heritage and her expertise in Youjutsu, she was much more sensitive to Spiritual Presence than the rest. Serafall was able to feel their presence too due to her experience of fighting against Ghost and Spirit-type enemies in the past.

"They haven't noticed us?" asked Serafall while staring in the direction of the strange presence, "We're not even doing anything to restrict our Ki and Magic Power and just letting them flare up." Although Kisuke was hiding his Spiritual Pressure, he's blatantly flaring up his Magic Power so they all just followed suit. Serafall thought that he was doing that to attract the attention of these Hollows so that he could demonstrate how to deal with them.

Kisuke stopped running and didn't immediately answer. After a moment of thinking, he replied, "...Hmmm, it seems that they don't have the facilities to sense Magic Power."

Serafall understood what he was talking about and explained it to the girls, "Since there's almost no Magic Power in the atmosphere and no one is really using it, no one will be able to develop the ability to sense it either. We can't really expect tools to detect Magic Power here either since you need an understanding of Magic itself for you to start engineering something like that."

Kisuke looked around more before saying, "There are no Shinigami around. Let's deal with them for now."

As the group took a detour, they reached a relatively small forest and could finally see the two 7-feet tall Hollows.

"So those are the Hollows... They have a similar mask and aura as yours, Nii-chan." Claire murmured while taking out her bow.

"Because technically, I'm the same as them. And people here don't really use the word 'aura' since there's only Spiritual Pressure to tell somebody apart," explained Kisuke, "By the way, you all have to start learning how to feel and differentiate Spiritual Pressures. Especially you, Claire. For you to use your [Worthless] you have to understand their properties. It's going to be hard but it shouldn't be impossible."

Kisuke didn't tell her yet but it should be possible for her to disable a Shikai or even a Bankai, Resurrección, and Vollständig. This is the main reason why he wanted her to come with him. She could become the antithesis of everyone here who didn't have any resistance to her ability.

"I'll do my best!"

"Alright. You and Kunou can take care of those Hollows first since both of you are long-range fighters. I want to confirm that the Soul Gear's purification power works properly."

Claire nodded and drew her bow. A golden arrow manifested as the bow was stretched.

Meanwhile, Kunou unfolded her Soul Gear, a traditional Japanese fan that depicts the sun and a golden fox with nine tails. On the top of the fan, a blue Fox Fire the size of a baseball ball appeared.

"Aim for its mask," Kisuke instructed.

Claire let go of her bowstring and a small explosion occurred as the arrow instantly broke through the sound barrier. Her target Hollow was unable to react and disintegrated with a large hole in its mask that went through its entire head.

The other Hollow wondered what happened but the next moment, its head was burning with a blue fire and it only took a few seconds for it to stop struggling and disintegrate.

Kisuke observed it for a few more seconds before nodding to herself, "It's working as intended. Let's leave before a Shinigami comes over to investigate."

In a certain corner of Karakura Town, lies a candy shop called [Urahara Shoten]. Within it was a single inhabitant of said shop. A tall, muscular, lightly tan-skinned man with black cornrowed hair and a large handlebar mustache, which was connected to his long sideburns, reading a message from the Captain of the 12th Division on his smartphone.

As a former Captain of the Kidou Corps, he's being invited to attend the Soul Funeral Festival.

He already rejected the invitation for the Soul Funeral Festivals for Captain Yamamoto and Captain Unohana. Even though he was invited by the current Head Captain, the Central 46 didn't like the idea because of their last judgment and pride. He appreciated the effort but he didn't want to get in trouble with the Nobles.

'Haah... I miss Jinta and Ururu. Ever since Kisuke and Yoruichi died without their bodies, both of them have changed slightly... Oh well, their studies are important and they go home during holidays.' Because of the Soul Funeral Festival for the Captains that died that year, he ended up reminiscing about something he didn't want, 'Let's clean the shop. These days, the business with the Shinigamis isn't as great because I can't make items as Kisuke did.'

Just as he stood up, the front door of the shop suddenly opened.

'Almost no Reiatsu, Humans? It should still be school time. These kids are skipping classes? I should scold them.'

But as soon as he took his first step, he also stopped as he heard an eerily familiar voice that shouldn't exist anymore along with other unfamiliar ones, "Oh my~ It's amazing that the shop is still intact. It looks like Tessai is taking good care of it."

"This is your shop? It looks exactly the same as the ones in Kuoh Town and Orario... And just as deserted too..."

"It's a candy shop for kids and it's school time! Of course, there will be no customers!"

"About time you admit you're just a destitute shop owner who doesn't have any talent in running a business. In the first place, your merchandise is too exotic for normal people."

Without realizing it, Tessai began running towards the entrance and when he opened the inner door, there he saw the group who had entered the shop. However, he really only eyed one single person who was wearing a green Shihakushou and a striped green and white bucket hat, "...You..."

Kisuke saw him and grinned, "It has been a while, Tessai~. Did your mustache grow smaller?"
