A few minutes earlier, Kisuke returned to the training ground and everyone ran towards him. But as they approach, Kuroka gradually stopped everyone until they reach twenty meters away from him.

"...Kisuke?" Kuroka vigilantly called out as the person in front of them is far from the Kisuke they know. The one in front of them could only describe as a monster.

Kisuke ignored them as he's busy trying to reign in his Hollow side. When he just put on the Hollow mask at the conference, he almost lost control and now he pulled out a full Vasto Lorde form with the help of Hougyoku to power it up, violent and destructive thoughts kept invading his mind.

But with his will and ego, he only needs some time to suppress these thoughts and deactivate his Hollowfication.

One minute into suppressing it, Kisuke finally found a chance to break through and smashed the Hollow mask with his fist. Soon after that, the hole on his chest slowly closed, engulfing the purple gem and his skin color returned to normal. The only thing left from his Hollowfication is the long hair that is also gradually shortening.

Kisuke looked at everyone and smiled despite his pale countenance from overexerting himself and said, "I'm back~! I'm hungry, but let's check on Yoruichi and Sona first."

Everyone sighed in relief and said, "Welcome back~."

Kisuke is telling them what really happened the moment they disappeared as they walk towards the room where Yoruichi and Sona are resting. Kisuke wanted to visit them first because he can feel Yoruichi's unsettled aura, signifying that she's about to wake up.

Kisuke managed to finish his story the moment they stepped into the room and the girls looked at them with worried expressions, "Are they really fine already? Although I'm not saying that I'm good at reading an aura, it feels like Yoruichi-san and Sona-kaichou weaken considerably. Especially Sona-kaichou, it feels like she's on the same level as Saji Genshirou who only turned Devil not long ago." Aika commented as she looked closely at the sleeping patients.

"The poison is already out of their system and they're on their road to recovery. We just need to plan out what we should do in the future." Kisuke then took out a table and chairs enough for them to sit around before taking out snacks for all of them.

With everyone seated down, Kisuke continued, "First, I want you to know that involving with me or Yoruichi would put you on the same side as me. Meaning, you will be going against the world once you join me. So here's my question, Are you fine with that? I can let you go outside and you can pretend that you're not related to me. You can go with your lives normal...ly... with... that..."

Before he could finish what he's trying to say, however, Kisuke receives everyone's glare.

Aika slammed the table and angrily told him off, "Why do you act stupid at times like this!? We already came, so there is no point in pushing us away! Aren't you glad that you have a harem of beautiful ladies willing to go with you everywhere!?"

Kisuke's mouth twitches at Aika's remarks, "H-harem you say... Please don't say something scandalous."

With another table slam, Aika stood up, "Haaah!!!? Scandalous!? Don't try to deny it now! You do know that everyone here is already willing to let you eat them up! Multiple people at the same time are even possible! Heck! Even if it is now with everyone, I doubt anyone here would fully disagree!"

Hearing Aika's shameless remarks, Koneko, Kuroka, and Medusa blushed hard. However, not a single one of them actually corrected Aika. Though, they would want a one on one course first before trying out a more advanced course.

Seeing their reactions, Kisuke couldn't help but swallow his saliva and choose to ignore it for now as it is not important... Well, it's important but it shouldn't be discussed right now.

Feigning a cough, Kisuke continued, "Ehem... I see that you won't leave... Right... So before we decide the things we should do, I would like you to know first our current state." Kisuke tried to awkwardly change the subject.

"Currently, Yoruichi and I were considerably weakened like what happened to Sona but we should be back to our form in 2 - 3 months, granted that nobody disturbs us.

"I've locked the space around the training ground so there shouldn't be any pursuers and they shouldn't be able to sniff us out... Of course, except for someone like Ophis-chan. That loli dragon will probably come begging for sweets again in a few days.

"However, there is a downside to this kind of lock too. We won't be able to receive any kind of information from outside. I know you're worried about your companions and I'm also worried about my mom but I have to do this so we can recover our strength as fast as possible." Kisuke ended his explanation there.

"I see... So if any of us exit now, it would risk you of being discovered... I guess that's fine." Kuroka muttered.

Kisuke nodded at her, "In the meantime, as we recover, I'll also devise a training regimen for all of you so that you'll be able to somehow deal with all the dangers that you'll be taking once we're out of here."

"That's fine with us, but can we really get that much stronger in just 2-3 months? Based on your story, it seems that we're against Gods and they're no joke. Even a Satan-Class wouldn't unnesseraly deal with one." Kuroka continued.

"You can... Though we won't be taking the conventional route. It'll be a bit dangerous but it shouldn't be something impossible."

"... I understand... I'll follow your instructions."

"Great~. The next now is..." Kisuke then was interrupted by movements behind him. He looked back and saw that Yoruichi is waking up. However, he's very confused as a pool of sweat is starting to gather on her forehead. He stood up and approached her to check her condition.

But before he could touch her, Yoruichi suddenly opened her eyes in panic. Kisuke furrowed his brows and asked, "What's wrong?"

With a difficult smile, Yoruichi replied, "Kisuke... Byakko is acting up again..."

A bad feeling instantly took over Kisuke, "...What?"

"Remember when we first came here?" Yoruichi continued.

"...What of it?"

"What's the common thing that happened to us when Byakko last acted up?"

Kisuke's mind ran at full speed and in an instant, he understood what Yoruichi mean by 'When we first came here.' Kisuke gulped and answered nervously, "We're poisoned back then..."

"Bingo~!" Yoruichi smiled brightly.

"SHIT!!! This isn't the time to joke around!!!" Kisuke instantly loses his cool and immediately deployed all the strongest barrier he knew and could do even at the cost of depleting his remaining Reaitsu-Ki.

Everyone in the room was dumbfounded at the panicking Kisuke as it the first time they saw him acting like this. The always calm and collected Candy Store owner is now frantically deploying all sorts of barriers for unknown reasons, "Are we under attack!?" Kuroka asked in worry.

"I wish! This is way worse! We could actually die because of that damned overgrown cat!" Kisuke shouted as he replies. And just as he finished putting up the last barrier he could, he then felt the space starting to fluctuate with Yoruichi as the epicenter, 'Damn it! It's here! I didn't think that I would experience this again in this lifetime!'

Still not confident, Kisuke used Hougyoku's power to power every barrier up and while he's at it, he wrote a note.

The fluctuation then suddenly increased in intensity. It's so strong that everyone except for Yoruichi and Kisuke instantly lose their consciousness.

Due to this, the lock outside of the training ground was also destroyed and we felt two familiar aurae clashing, 'Great Red and Ophis-chan? What are they doing?'

Still, he didn't have time to dwell in this question and just added a few notes on the paper in his hand before opening Descorrer and sending it towards a familiar aura from afar along with a photo, chocolate bars, and his favorite hat, 'I hope that reaches Serafall...'

After the Descorrer closed, a pillar of bluish light suddenly emerged from Yoruichi's forehead, drilling through the Dimensional Gap without much effort, 'Damn it!'

Kisuke then proceeds to grab everyone and placed them beside him, anchoring them with his magic and Kidou, 'Here goes nothing!'

The hole in which the pillar of light made suddenly expanded and swallowed Kisuke and the rest.

The hole went through the entirety of the supposedly infinite Dimensional Gap and arrived at an unknown region beyond it. Kisuke has to use everything he has to keep everyone safe from the chaos of space and nothingness threatening to tear them apart.

After an hour of battling the natural forces, Kisuke and Yoruichi finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel and when they went through it, they were ejected from the sky.

With last barrier standing, Kisuke strengthened it just enough to cushion their fall. Falling like a meteor, Kisuke immediately set another set of barriers against the unknown environment. He and Yoruichi looked around. They are currently standing in the middle of a meadow. Behind them is a dense forest while in front is a walled city. And the thing that caught both of their attention the most is the imposing tower in the middle of it.
