Chapter 1323 A Step Forward part 2

After receiving the emergency message from Sona, Serafall knew that she, along with the other girls, wouldn't be able to meet him for some time.

Although she feels bad for the others, she knows she couldn't let go of this chance, 'Hit it while it's still hot as they say!'

Serafall teleported to the one vast and almost empty Soul Society and went straight towards the 12th Division where it's abuzz with people continuously running around. Since this is a huge undertaking that would forever change the Soul Society, more than half of the Gotei 13 personnel were assigned to assist the 12th Division and even some nobles and students from the academy.

The moment she approached the gates, Serafall coincidentally came across Akon who came from his in-person survey, "Sitri-san. Could I assist with anything?"

"Is Ki-tan around?"

"He is... But I don't think you'd be able to meet him now. We're in the middle of setting up defensive barriers around the three worlds and controlling the rate of flow of the Magic Power coming from the Dimensional Gap so I doubt he and the Captain would be able to entertain anyone." Akon answered while checking his phone, "If it's urgent, I can send him a message for you."

Serafall immediately shook his head, "No, it's nothing urgent. I'm just wondering when you'll be done."

Akon thought about it for a moment and replied, "If nothing goes awry, we'll be able to formally open the transport gates within half a day."

Serafall's eyes shine, "Is that so!? Then is it alright for me to wait here?"

Akon nodded, "I'll lead you to the break room. Since we're about to finish, no one is using them. I'll also inform Urahara-san of your arrival."

"Thank you~!"

More than half a day later, Kisuke came out of Mayuri's lab while yawning, 'It's finally done! The only thing left is to send those guys back along with some envoys.'

Kisuke felt like a monumental amount of burden on his shoulders had disappeared. Ever since he reincarnated in a different world, he always questioned if Soul Society was really doing the right thing, meddling with the flow of souls.

When he realized how the souls are handled in that world, Kisuke thought that it was beautiful. A system devoid of emotion and morals, he thought that only such a thing would be able to handle the sorting of souls. He knew it was not perfect but it was way more reasonable than what Soul Society and the Soul King was employing.

Kisuke, of course, would always repress these thoughts as he knew that this was his arrogance. He realized that he'd be pushing his belief that something is better than another in which no way is 'fair' in an absolute sense. He didn't have the justification.

Even then, he couldn't help but prepare for it with the sole reason 'just in case.'

And when the Evies and Etouldes arrived in that world and threatened it, he finally had a reason to go back. Kisuke initially thought that he'd just be recruiting Aizen and others as a countermeasure to Etouldes who decided to approach his world on the 'good' side since he knew that betrayal never comes from your enemies.

But as he learned more about the world he was previously born in and got a glimpse of Ichibei's plans along with the Soul King's 'approval', the justification came.

Kisuke, as if all fetters were removed, came to a decision to change the world for the 'better' and moved towards it with full force.

He still thinks, even now, that this was extremely arrogant and his own self-control not to become someone like Aizen or Yhwach is working against him. But with the choice of being a monster's food or continued existence, the choice was pretty obvious.

Now that everything is over, Kisuke's ambition, or more accurately, desire, has been fulfilled, and the burden that has been bothering him since long ago has disappeared.

'But resting is still far off. I still have to do something against those robots and fleshy spirits.' Kisuke couldn't help but sigh. If his roots didn't go so deep on the other side, he would certainly just ignore the problem and just escape somewhere.

'The worst thing is that this isn't the same as Chaos or Hyousube. The problem won't be solved even if those on top disappear. In fact, that only will be a precursor to endless hate and war. I don't have time nor motivation for that.'

Kisuke soon reached the door to the break room where he was told that Serafall was waiting, 'The only solution to this would be for both Evies and Etouldes to stop their hostilities and us standing on our own even not on their level. But if one side weakens too much, the larger one would swallow the rest... Damn... This sounds really impossible.'

Before he could open the door, someone else on the other side opened it for him, "What with the long face? Aren't you supposed to be celebrating?" Serafall asked after seeing Kisuke's face.

"If one problem was solved but you realized that a bigger one was just waiting around the corner, how would you react to that?"

"Celebrate the small win~! Be glad that you're done with that one!" Serafall answered without any hesitation.

Kisuke stared at her blankly for a few seconds before suddenly chuckling, "That's true, isn't it." He took a long breath and slowly released it along with the tension he put himself into, "So what's the plan? Don't you mean Sona and the others?"

Serafall then grabbed Kisuke's arm and started dragging him, "I do! But I can meet them later. Let's go on a date!"

'I doubt that there are going to be stores open... Should I prepare something?' Kisuke thought while letting himself be dragged by the relatively short and very bubbly Devil King.

Both of them arrived in the Human World sometime after and Kisuke was surprised that it was actually bustling. Not to the point of the normal hustle and bustle, but there are a lot of people shopping around the newly repaired town, "What's going on?"

"This was when you were busy with the merger." Serafall replied while dragging Kisuke by the hand towards the crepe shop, "The world leaders had a meeting with Gotei 13 and Wing Bind overseeing it. It was decided that with my and Flanna-chan's help, we'll erase everyone's memory of the war."

Kisuke thought about it for a moment before saying, "Wouldn't that cause a lot of problems? Although the casualties are reduced to the minimum, that's still a lot of people. Not to mention various parts of life if you just suddenly reset the time before it all went down. Some people would notice these huge discrepancies."

"That's true, but dealing with those is still preferable." Serafall cast a spell that would jumble their words into something different for those who could listen to them as they approached the line, "I'm of the same opinion that people of this world is still not prepared for the 'supernatural' and included in the plan was the slow introduction of this side of the world."

"How about those whose memories couldn't be erased? Even if Flanna is assisting you, I doubt you could do anything to those with resistance towards it considering what you've done was on a worldwide scale."

"It'll be sort of a litmus test for those with special abilities or those with potential to it. Whenever they appear, they'll be immediately approached by that territory's government and use their help for the slow integration. They are still drafting a treaty that would ensure the said individual's safety and rights but the Gotei 13 and Wing Bind promised that they'll strictly look after this."

'Of course, they should. But even if they did, various underground organizations will probably pop up to take advantage of this.' Kisuke thought to himself while ordering crepes, 'Oh well, not my problem anymore. I'll only create more work for myself if I get involved in this.'
