Deterrence  

If Ailin chooses to go to the Human World with Haruko Kuchiki, Kisuke Urahara can let down half of his guard towards Ailin.

After all, someone with emotional attachments is unlikely to walk the most extreme path, and may even protect the world for the sake of their attachments.

But if Ailin merely chooses to have other Soul Reapers protect Haruko Kuchiki, then Kisuke Urahara must make some preparations in his heart to face Ailin in the future.

"Thank you Urahara and Lady Yoruichi for always taking the time to care for my illness."

Just as Kisuke Urahara was observing Ailin, Haruko Kuchiki, who had been ignored by everyone, suddenly stood between Ailin and Kisuke Urahara and smiled as she rejected Kisuke Urahara's proposal.

"However, for me, how long I can live is not important. I am the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family. Ailin is currently the pillar of the Kuchiki family. The Kuchiki family can do without me, but it cannot do without Ailin. So, Lady Yoruichi, I understand your kind intentions. Ailin, let's go back."

Then, Haruko Kuchiki turned around and pulled Ailin's hand, wanting to go back. As Ailin's wife, she would not let her husband do anything against his own will for her sake, nor did she want any problems to arise between her and Ailin.

Haruko Kuchiki dared not imagine what she would think in her heart if Ailin accepted this treatment plan but did not accompany her to the Human World. Would she still love Ailin as much as before?

At the same time, as the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family, Haruko Kuchiki also knew that her father was already old in age, and her nephew Byakuya Kuchiki had yet to grow up.

If Ailin chose to go to the Human World with her at this time, it was very likely that the Kuchiki family would decline.

Haruko Kuchiki had already accepted and chosen her own fate three years ago. Now, with Kisuke Urahara's help, her soul had recovered a bit, allowing her to accompany Ailin for a while longer. Haruko Kuchiki was already very content.

However, Haruko Kuchiki did not manage to pull Ailin along. The reason Ailin did not respond just now was not because he did not want to go to the Human World with Haruko Kuchiki, but because Ailin was considering where in the Human World they should settle down.

The current Human World was still ancient. Let alone modern amenities, even decent roads were few and far between. What Ailin was familiar with was the modern lifestyle from over 200 years later. For both him and Haruko Kuchiki, life in the ancient Human World would not be a simple matter. But fortunately, Ailin was not completely without connections in the Human World.

If Ailin remembered correctly, that Quincy, Sōken Ishida, who he had put under Soul Reaper surveillance, was still alive 200 years later. Moreover, that place was an area with high spiritual concentration 200 years later, and was also the stage where various characters appeared.

If they really had to live in the Human World, becoming neighbors with Sōken Ishida wouldn't be a bad choice.

Ailin just didn't expect that after he sank into thought for a moment, Haruko Kuchiki would have already rejected Kisuke Urahara's "good intentions" on his behalf.

"Haruko, wait a minute."

Ailin exerted some strength to pull the Haruko Kuchiki who wanted to leave back to his side. He then turned to Kisuke Urahara and said, "Urahara, how long will you need to make Haruko's Gigai?"

In Ailin's heart, he never had any thoughts of not saving Haruko Kuchiki. Otherwise, why would he, after finding out about Haruko Kuchiki's condition, stop making Zanpakutō to enhance his spiritual pressure just so Haruko would be oppressed less?

As for going to the Human World with Haruko Kuchiki, Ailin thought it was even better. As long as Haruko Kuchiki's soul had a body to nourish it, then Ailin could continue to materialize all the Zanpakutō he had copied and also produce the powerful weapons from other worlds based on their abilities.

As for the Kuchiki family that Haruko mentioned, Ailin wasn't worried either. Even without Ailin, the Kuchiki family in that world didn't decline. Byakuya Kuchiki took over the Kuchiki family's responsibilities very well, upholding the Kuchiki family's glory.

Now, Ailin was only going to the Human World, he wasn't dead. The deterrence brought by a Captain-class power could prevent many nobles coveting the Kuchiki family from being too unscrupulous.

"Oh?" Upon hearing Ailin's reply, Kisuke Urahara looked at Ailin in surprise. It seemed that Captain Ailin might even become a helper on his side. "If I start making it now, it will take at most three months to complete."

"Alright, I'll come to trouble you again after three months. I just hope that Haruko's Gigai is merely a Gigai. I don't want there to be anything extra added inside it. Otherwise, I'm afraid that even Captain Yoruichi and Urahara won't be able to withstand my wrath."

After speaking, Ailin deeply glanced at Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihoin before taking Haruko away, vanishing instantly before the two's eyes.

A few seconds after Ailin left, Kisuke Urahara scratched his messy hair, "Oh my, listening to Captain Ailin's last words, it was as if I would add something shady inside Lady Kuchiki's Gigai. How could that be..."

"Would you?" Yoruichi asked with her arms crossed. Her usually smiling face revealed an unusually stern expression.

Kisuke Urahara put his hand down from scratching his head and stopped joking around. "I did have that thought before. After all, this guy is too mysterious. He spent 35 years in the 2nd Division. For most of that time, he stayed in the barracks. The only one he had a relatively close relationship with was his former squad leader of the Detention Unit, Kuta Aokigi."

"Although people healed by him in the Detention Unit wanted to get closer after seeing his superb healing abilities, their efforts were largely fruitless. Even after he defeated Vice Captain Marenoshin Ōmaeda to become the 2nd Division's Vice Captain 5 years ago, nothing changed."

"It was only through a casual chat with Shaolin Fon that I found out he only started going out after learning he could as long as he arrived at the training grounds before the emergency assembly bell stopped ringing. Only then did he begin leaving the 2nd Division and frequenting bars."

"After that, he met the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family, fought with Koga of the 1st Division, eventually became the Kuchiki family's son-in-law and the Captain of the 6th Division..."

"If he wasn't so concerned about Lady Kuchiki..." Speaking to here, Kisuke Urahara shook his head and glanced at Yoruichi Shihoin.

How could he not be the same?

What would he have become if not for Yoruichi after finding out the "Soul King's" secrets?

"That's right, Kisuke. So you'd better not carry out those thoughts of yours." Yoruichi looked seriously at Kisuke Urahara, "You saw how he left just now too right? Other than verbal threats, his actions were also deterring us."

"Even with someone in tow, his speed exceeded what I could sense with my spiritual pressure. In other words, his Shunpo surpasses mine!"
