Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1309 Interesting Idea

Within the underground hideout below the Urahara Shop was a silent group of people sitting at a very long table.

The table was around 60 feet long and the people at it were divided into two with them sitting on each end. Despite the distance between them, the air is palpable and it seems that at any time one side could explode into action with the amount of killing intent they were emitting. This was not intentional, but this is the only result possible due to the people present.

On the northern side of the table was the group of Quincy that assisted Ichigo's group in defending the Human World from the maggots. Bambietta, Liltotto, Meninas, Candice, Giselle, Bazz B, and Askin.

With the exception of Askin, everyone else was pouring their killing intent on one person sitting on the opposite side of their table and that person was the blindfolded Yhwach with Ouetsu and Senjumaru sitting on each side.

It had been half an hour now since the former members of the Sternritter were invited down here and aside from the obvious provocation of the other side with their deep animosity, there hasn't been a word that has been spoken.

Senjumaru looked at each side before sighing and loudly muttering, "So you guys really are just going to stare at each other?"

"What do you mean? This guy can't see." Ouetsu immediately responded with a chuckle.

That earned him a glare from Senjumaru, "You know what I mean. Besides, I still don't get it. What's the point of doing this?"

With that question, everyone from the Quincy group's ears instantly perked up.

"Hmm... We can't really guess what's on Kyouraku's mind." Ouetsu rested his chin on his right hand and tapped the table with his left, "But I have an idea." He figured out Senjumaru's intention and agreed with it rather than just wait for these guys to sort themselves out.

"And that is?"

"To bolster this world's apparent military might." Ouestsu answered while lowering his sunglasses, "Even without seeing the full extent of it, you can guess what the other side is capable of, can't you? They're a dangerous bunch that was able to make Urahara the way he is now."

Kisuke's monstrous form flashed through Senjumaru's head which made the corner of her eye twitch. But after thinking about it more, she realized that can't be the whole truth and shrugged her shoulders, "Urahara was a strange one from the beginning. It's an insult to his ability if you say it like that."

"My bad. What I meant was what he's capable of now thanks to that world. Everything is new and we'd have to adapt to it to properly compete."

"I know that, but aren't they also divided and at each other's throat? Can they really go past that and take advantage of this world?"

"That's the problem. We don't know them. Their culture, their morals, their views. We don't know much of it. What we thought is impossible and unacceptable within our society could easily be the opposite for them. We sent Tenjirou to their side for initial recon but our situation right now is similar to that of a fat sheep with an unknown beast in a dark room. As long as we're sure that this beast won't attack us, we can't let our guard down."

"And the solution for that is to revive the Wandenreich? I've always thought that there's something wrong with his head, but now I can surely say that he's an insane one." Senjumaru let out a mocking smile.

"As I've said, it'll bolster our military strength as a whole and make it hard for them to even think about sinking their teeth into this world. Like it or not, once Yhwach restores the Sternritter, they'll have as much combat ability as the current Gotei 13."

But before Senjumaru could say anything, the two of them heard someone slamming at the table at the opposite end. When they turned their head, they saw Bazz-B standing up with a royally pissed expression, "And what!? Hand over our lives to that man once again!? How stupid."

He then started walking off towards the ladder to get out of this place. Bazz-B really wanted to dig out the heart of 'His Majesty' but he knew he couldn't win against the two members of the Zero Division.

The other watched his back for a few seconds before standing up one by one to follow him with Liltotto giving Yhwach a side glance, "There's a limit on how gullible you think we are."

A few minutes later, everyone except for Askin left the underground hideout.

"Oh? What a surprise." Senjumaru commented, "I thought it would be a complete disaster but it turns out that there's a chance for reconciliation even with just you?"

Askin smiled wryly, "I don't know about that. If those guys won't do it, then forget about it."

Ouetsu stared at him for a short while and asked, "Then why did you remain here? Wouldn't they suspect your motives?"

"Oh. They will, alright?" Asking looked up, "I just want to prepare myself to meet the guy upstairs again. You never know. He might just cut off my head suddenly just for blocking his path."

"Ah... You two have a wonderful history, right? I think you're overthinking it. He's not petty enough to take revenge for a war that has already ended..." As his sentence goes, Ouetsu also realizes how ridiculous his statement is and even both Senjumaru and Askin are looking at him strangely, "...Well... We probably all share the sentiment that he's probably petty as hell so I'm taking that back. But cutting off your head? You're still useful to him so the most you'll probably get is a nonstop diarrhea for a few days."

Askin wanted to say that he's immune to anything 'poisonous' but immediately recalled the existence of Magic and Ki, '...My adaptation and immunity probably only work on Spiritual-based harm... Fuck.'

He shuddered at the possibility of nonstop diarrhea but thought that it was still better than losing his life, 'As long as I'm useful, right?'

Askin sighed and changed the topic, "I'm also curious about how the two of you came in to moderate this whole thing. Those guys didn't think about it because they were blinded by their rage at the 'traitor'. What's in it for you?"

Asking was hoping for some reaction from the blindfolded man but was disappointed to see that he didn't even twitch, 'He's not asleep, is he?'

"To get more stuff for ourselves. The Zero Division is gone, you see? But as luck would have it, Soul Society is currently in the middle of restructuring and figured we'd get more if we do a bit of their request."

"You don't have to worry about it, though?" Senjumaru added, "You've helped Urahara substantially so you didn't really have to do this."

"What are you talking about? I betrayed you, yes, but you guys are still my precious comrade-in-arms. Your plight is my plight. Besides, it's a lot easier to do this with us working together so just accept it, okay?"

"Hmmph..." Senjumaru turned her head away with a small harumph. She still resents the fact that he went behind their backs, but deep inside, she's happy that the years they fought together wasn't meaningless. There's a chance that Ouetsu is lying to gain her trust, but it's the risk she's willing to take.
