CHAPTER - CCVIII

They didn't seem to understand my question.

I just pointed at myself.

With the time I have been in isolation and mostly fighting against the hollows my body has matured to its fullest, but it has not taken away my youthful appearance leaving me the appearance of an 18 year old boy with a height of two meters 20 centimeters with a muscular composition very highlighted.

Yoruichi: "I was just curious and jumped out since your presence was unknown."

Soifon: "sister yoruichi are you really trusting him?"

Yoruichi: "soifon if he wanted us dead we would already be dead nd you are not at his level so being prepared to fight is just a waste of time."

The pretty young girl looked at her mentor in disbelief.

Soifon: "But our..."

I just exploded with speed to get in the middle of them.

Richard: "I didn't hear you right."

They jumped in surprise at my speed.

Soifon: "Too fast, not even the sister has reached that speed and she is declared the goddess of speed."

Richard: "Well, you stay here because I have to go home and relax a little bit."

They looked at me surprised to see that I just walk into the forest to see inside the dark trees that are generating a fruit shaped like an apple.

But in dark there is a house made of blocks of rock that has been formed in addition to having some blocks of ice that have been put to melt.

They only saw with surprise the place to see how I open the door with ease to enter while noticing that there are some holes around the place, but they only approach the apples to eat only one to retire quickly.

I just relax by settling on a stone sofa while having pillows on.

Yoruichi: "if you can't go out then how do you have these fabrics."

Richard: "if youre asking me after seeing this fabric. Well, this is what I made from plant I dried and then made into thin pieces to intertwine them and put them to dry plus I used the fruit to get oil to strengthen their strength to make pillows and most of what they are stuffed with is bone sand with some shredded wood and an attempt to make cotton."- I said this while relaxing.

She just nodded to throw herself to the side of the couch to feel the pillows.

Yoruichi: "they are not bad."

Richard: "thank you."

Soifon: "sister I don't think it's good fr you to trust him."

Richard: "don't worry don't trust just check if you can get out and if not well that means you're trapped alone in this dimension with me."

Yoruichi: "we'll see what you've done besides just being here."

Richard: "as my titles say I am the Representation of Anger and Life. So, the hollows here are more peaceful around me or more fearful. However, you want to put it plus where I sit life flourishes no matter the conditions as you can see in the forest we are in."

Yoruichi: "well how are you so strong?"

Richard: "that's a secret I won't tell you my training method."

They seemed more interested by my words.

Richard: 'well I do have to gain their trust'

[that's right sir]

Richard: 'that will be very difficult.'

[why do you think that sir]

Richard: 'yoruichi is somewhat manipulative, but all her trust and devotion is in urahara kisuke and soifon will only listen to yoruichi's orders like a faithful puppy so it would be problematic plus she tends to put responsibility before everything.'

As I close my eyes to rest a bit I hear them muttering as they plan their next moves.

Richard: 'They think that I'm too far away from them I won't hear them, that's funny.'

[Well their senses are far superior to those of a normal person, plus a normal person in their world has better senses than most humans in many dimensions.]

Richard: 'thanks for the tip helpi.'

After I understand that they plan to study me while I sleep they settle in the corners watching my subtle movements.

I just turned to ignore them.

Soifon: "He's very confident."

Yoruichi: "he has all the advantages he proved that Zanpakuto can't hurt him well in this mode and you still don't have your shikai so we have no means of fighting plus he looks nice."

Richard: 'wait what.'

Soifon: "wait what sister!!"

Richard: 'how am I making a good impression so fast.'

[that's because you still have the title eccentric beauty magnet].

Richard: 'good title for the win.'

Yoruichi: "plus he could be a good training partner while kisuke finds a way how to get us out of here. So, we could pass the time if the theory of him that we are stuck with him is true. So, it's better to be with him on good terms plus he gave us some of his food."

Soifon: "That doesn't make him reliable."

Yoruichi: "it's a hunch soifon you must feel it's a comfortable thing to be around him too."

She just sighed and nodded.

Soifon: "it's just too comfortable being around him and that's what makes me uneasy it's like he doesn't care much."

Yoruichi: "yes and we can always get more allies for the soul society and it doesn't matter much about his appearance it's more about his behavior."

Soifon just nods as she looks around for a place to sleep as she thinks about sleeping outside. Then she remembered that she is in hollow world so the only safe place as far as she can tell is to be near him.

She looks around the room to see that there are more rooms so she moves forward and sees a comfortable bed of the same dark shade.

Soifon just places her hand to sigh as she lies down on the bed to begin to relax as she feels the comfort.

Soifon: "This bed is too big maybe it's because of his size."

She saw that her legs are far away from the bed frame and that if she lies in the middle there is plenty of room to spare on both sides.

She only heard a few footsteps approaching to feel the light bounce of the bed to hear a sigh of contentment.

Soifon only opened one eye to see yoruichi who is resting on the same bed.

Soifon blushed at the sight of her sister's appearance, if not the strange scent wafting from the bed.

Soifon: 'Stupid being doesn't even look....'

That's all she could think as she fell into a deep sleep.

Yoruichi: 'today I felt like a brat who knew kisuke is nostalgic.'- She thought it funny because of what happened in a short time.

Yoruichi: 'the only weird thing is that I feel too comfortable with him it's like a breath of fresh air after a long time I never thought I would feel so calm with someone other than kisuke.'- She thought about it as she closes her eyes and sinks into her dreams thinking about running free with no strings attached.

I just got up to see my bed occupied just sighed to walk back to the couch and fall asleep.

The next morning.

While they stay in their dream world I got up to see how it goes the two types of ice I made one was made by hell Frost and the other with ice magic I have great control.

Richard: "well besides the two different types of color while the one that my axe produced is a dull greenish blue while the other that was already melted is a transparent shade of blue that doesn't have as much resistance."

As I move my hand towards the ice of hell Frost I touch it gently to feel how it covers my hand as if it wanted to protect me.

Richard: "After so many years in this realm my control of the ice element has improved to abysmal points that I would have never thought of since I can control the ice of the seventh floor of hell without using much magic."- I murmured as I watched it return and then compressed into the shape of an alala for me to wield.

Richard: 'well wait a few more years alala I'll get you back.'- I thought quietly to relax to leave the hell Frost ice in place so that it would begin to crumble into cold dust.

Richard: "hell Frost ice doesn't melt. It magically dissipates into motes of elemental snow which is colder than normal."- I mumble it to write down that information in a black sheet notebook while I have compressed bone dust that I use as a pencil to write down the information.

After a while of my study on the differences of my elements and their effects I started my jog through the forest while carrying the heaviest rock I can find.

With them I put on the idea of achieving about 30 laps in a short time.

So I started to run as fast as possible to begin to go around the forest where I live to see some holes that no longer approach me but go to the trees to collect the fruit it generates.

Richard: "take good care of the trees you can go out into the human world get water so that the forest can expand or see how to create a water source."- I shouted it as I passed around the forest many of them were startled to see me rush past the place.

They were startled, but those who heard well just sighed.

Hollow : "I thought he would kill us."

Hollow 1: "I also did not expect him to give us permission to eat his spiritual fruits."- He said it to pick one to think what he said to eat it.

Hollow : "we could listen to the powerful being after all he created this we should take care of the gift."

Hollow 1 looked at what he was talking about.

Hollow: "may be since we have our starts again, but that sounds good."- He said it to finish eating the black apple to think how to bring water.

I just continued with my run to finish it to start doing pushups to force my body to lift weight but the main problem is that the weight is insufficient so I started to increase the repetitions until I reach the point of fatigue.

I hear some footsteps approaching to see the legs or skirt of one and the stockings covering the thighs of one of them.

Yoruichi: "is this your training rhythm I thought you would use a method I don't know how to say it more ingenious."

Richard: "In most of the place there are only rocks and branches so what I have managed to do is a breakthrough plus there is water just need to heat it up for a hot shower in the tub I made."- I said it as I finish the repetitions as I hear my body crunching in pain saying that I have already broken my limit.

As I remove the rock from my back I drop to the floor to control my breathing as I look under soifon's skirt.

Richard: 'she is wearing underwear similar to the sumos as they call themselves fundoshi.'- I thought about it seeing her firm ass only separated by that thin fabric covering her pussy.

As long as they didn't notice I just stood up and after enjoying the sight of seeing her cute ass something that yoruichi apparently noticed giving a knowing smile.

Richard: "Well we never introduced ourselves if you want me to start."

They nodded.

Richard: "My Name is Richard Augustus Parker the god of many things and you."

Yoruichi: "I am Shihōin yoruichi the leader of the second division of the society of souls."

Soifon: "I am Suì-Fēng but mostly they call me soifon because it is easier for them to remember that."

Richard: "I understand well what will you guys do?. I have to bathe and I don't want you to spy on me so you can see the surroundings and don't harm those it costs a lot to make them grow in an environment without water and I only create a little bit since the environment is not made for water extraction."

After that I started walking back to the house I built to pick up the bucket of water to heat half of it to walk to where the tub is with warm water to use the other half to bathe in and walk to pick up the hot water and place it in the tub to release steam.

I get into the tub to enjoy the hot water to enjoy the silence around me while I close my eyes.

After a few minutes I finished showering and used the water from the tub to clean my clothes while I started thinking about how to build a shirt and more clothes.

While I finished washing them I started to use some fire magic to dry them and put on my pants.

I just stretch a bit to see that there is no one around me.

Richard: 'well let's see my information notes and how to improve or create new techniques to advance the onigami style.'- I thought about it as I walk to a black wooden seat that I settle into to pull out my notebook while enjoying the warmth that is this perpetual midnight world that only has a glow from the bone sand itself.

I watch as they arrive to see me sitting down.

Soifon: "as you are comfortable here don't you want to go out and see what's outside."

Richard: "I want to, but I can't unbalance your dimension or I might cause a problem they already have one and that's the object that belongs to me."

Yoruichi: "if it's so dangerous why don't you take it back right away."

Richard: "let's say this way if I don't get it back when it is in good condition and wait for what is necessary then your dimension and your realms will disappear in short everyone dies."

That just made them choke on my words.

Soifon: 'what the hell is that object.'- She thought worriedly.

Yoruichi: "that object you say. Is it a sword?"

Richard: "yes it's my main weapon Khaos."- I said it calmly.

With that we spent some time living together and being rather watched by soifon watching my movements.

After a while I started to feel hungry so I walked towards the trees to pick up an apple what they saw I just grabbed others to throw it to them.

They just caught it so they could smell it a little bit.

Richard: "They are not poisonous they are just very sweet."- I said so I took a bite of the apple which is a big one because it fits in my fist.

They just held it up to take a bite and were surprised by the taste so they continued to eat with excitement.

Yoruichi: "If you have this why do you get food from outside."

Richard: "I was about 98 years with just eating this you get to the point where you get tired of eating the same thing so I started the shrine idea."- I said it proudly.

Soifon: "What are these fruits."

Richard: "I call them spiritual apples because when they appear nd when a hollow eats them, they recover their consciousness and behave more rationally and do not feel hungry."

Yoruichi: "and they are very good."

With that they finished their meal to relax for a while on the couch while looking at some cubes that I have not unpacked.

[Why didn't you use your visor for entertainment sir if you had one].

Richard: 'well I was too busy fighting that I forgot about it and I always had something to do.'

[true but everything is starting to relax now and congratulations on reaching 500,000 points sir].

Richard: 'That's a good amount of points, I just have to wait for the system to improve and I could make some purchases or buy items.'

[I've been doing an update in progress to remove the beta and the purchase of materials and items will be available.]

Richard: 'and when will it be available.'

[in a few more years sir]

Richard: 'fantastic what level is my threat level.'- I asked excitedly because I refrained for 50 years from asking or seeing my status, I want to see my progress.

[your threat level is C+++].

Richard: 'it is so little progress for the time.'

[actually it's a lot of progress with the few things you've had to train your physique or your mind so it's very good sir]

Richard: 'well I'll take it, but I don't like that progress very much.'

After a while enjoying the tranquility I noticed yoruichi getting restless.

Richard: "what's wrong yoruichi?"

She was surprised that I didn't use any honorifics or her last name, so she gave me an excited smile.

Yoruichi: "You are very strong, how about a fight to see our capabilities."

Richard: "It's ok."- I said it without much importance.

Soifon was interested in the fight.

As we separate and she gets into a battle pose I just stay calm.

She moves explosively reaching her fist to my face.

I just move my head avoiding the blow to keep my fist in a position close to her abdomen so that she jumps avoiding impacting only with the blow.

Richard: 'Her speed must already be in the C+ grade so if she hadn't improved a lot the speed fight would be very unequal, but I have the advantage at this moment.'

While yoruichi shows a big smile full of emotion she moves again throwing a paw at my face which I just catch with my hand with ease to throw it aside.

Yoruichi: "as those muscles appear they are not to show anything else."

Richard: "I have trained my body all my life and I am always in constant strengthening."

She just smiled to start throwing paws with precision to vital points that I stopped with ease while throwing light punches that she avoids.

Yoruichi: "you are just playing with me why don't you show me all your speed?"

Richard: "if I used all my speed and this was a serious fight you wouldn't know when you died."- I said it calmly catching both her fists and throwing her with great force into the sky like a cannonball.

I only heard a shout of surprise as it faded out of sight.

Richard: "Well they can walk on air so I shouldn't worry."

As I watch her fall calmly waiting for her to fall she stops in the air with a smirk.

Yoruichi: "Worried that you will kill me."

Richard: "not so much I have seen some of those hollows that can walk in the air and if you face them you must have similar capabilities."

Soifon: "you have talked about facing them do you know if they have used Cero."

Richard: "the ability to shoot a concentrated beam of their energy."

She nodded.

Richard: "yes it makes me itch."

They just looked at each other nervously.

Yoruichi: 'he has a great resistance to attacks with spiritual energy.'- She thought seriously.

She tensed her leg muscles to move so explosively that she seemed to teleport.

I just moved my hand to where she moved to catch her head and looked at me with eyes full of surprise.

Yoruichi: "how?"

Richard: "I also have a technique that makes me move faster so I know how to think about the trajectory in addition to having the most refined perception because of the speed I can reach."

Up to here.
