Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1337 The First Etoulde in That “Horrifying” Place part 3

"Want to take over your clan? How about we talk with that in mind?" Yoruichi grinned after seeing her reaction.

Alicia glared at Yoruichi but didn't say anything for a while. She then let out a small sigh and turned her sights towards her coffee and took a sip of it, "Where and how much did you hear?"

Alicia was able to calm herself down pretty quickly and after thinking about it for a bit, there was no way for Yoruichi to have a clear picture of what was going on within her clan, 'I don't think Namy's no good father, the useless uncles and aunties or the shitty cousins would run their mouths so she probably heard it from someone outside. In that case, what she knows is nothing more than speculation from an outsider's close observations.'

Naturally, Yoruichi also realizes this and Stralit is also clear that there's almost nothing known about the inner operations of the Crowfeather Clan aside from the fact that Alicia's mother passed away a long time ago, "But it's true that you want to take over, right? I mean, why would a young lady of a pretty high-ranking clan want to earn merits on the frontlines?"

"Lady or not, it doesn't really matter. Many of the Etoulde Clans are matriarchal. And are you saying that you'll assist me with that in exchange for sharing my knowledge?"

"I was actually hoping for more than that."

"Then kill me. I have no intention of betraying my kind. Even if I could take over my clan, it doesn't mean anything if it leads to the destruction of our society." Alicia smirked at her as cynically as she could, 'And I won't have a face to show those two who grew up idolizing heroes.'

Yoruichi, to Alicia's surprise, wasn't discouraged at all. In fact, she looked relieved for a moment, "So you'll do it if it means it won't be betraying the Etouldes as a whole?"

"What do you-" But before Alicia could even finish asking, Yoruichi suddenly stood up and turned to Soifon. She rummaged in her pocket and as soon as she took out something from it, she tossed it towards Soifon.

"That's what I intended to share for today. Give it to Aizen or Kurotsuchi. Tell them to spare this lady for a bit and wait for me." Yoruichi tapped Alicia's shoulder one time before she started walking towards the exit.

Soifon also hurriedly stood up and asked, "Wait! Are you leaving her to me!? Where are you going!?"

Yoruichi only waved her hand back while saying, "Yes. Take care of her while I confirm something important. Don't let those two hurt her, alright?"

As she disappeared into the crowd, Soifon could only sigh while scratching her head. She looked at the still stunned and confused Alicia and beckoned her, "Follow me. I'll introduce you to the Captain Commander since it's impossible for Kurotsuchi and Aizen to listen to me."

Soifon also started leaving and Alicia had no choice but to follow since it's her life on the line, 'If it comes down to it, I'll bring her to old man Yamamoto's place.'

Yoruichi returned to Draconic Deus before immediately making her way towards the Dungeon World where her guests were staying.

To keep their identities hidden, Yoruichi decided to leave them in a hidden house outside of the controlled area of the Ouroboros Academy which is just outside of Orario. Since their appearances were slightly altered and their Spiritual Powers that formed an aura sealed, it'd be fine for them to go out from time to time and it'll be an immense help if they could actually blend with the locals.

There was also no one from Ouroboros Academy who kept an eye on them to avoid linking their movements to their location. It was a risky endeavor that Sona disagreed with but ultimately accepted thanks to Yoruichi's persuasion and the fact that they wouldn't be staying within the Ouroboros Academy's territory.

Yoruichi knocked on their door and someone soon answered, "It's open, please come in."

As soon as she opened the door, she was greeted by a bland-looking black-haired tall girl sitting in a cross legged position in the middle of the living room with a katana sitting on top of her lap, "Welcome back. You returned earlier than I thought."

Yoruichi first closed the door before asking, "Where's Gwenn?"

"She went to Orario to investigate the so-called Deities. After seeing one, she couldn't help but be curious."

"Oh? Did she tell you what she saw?"

Stralit nodded, "She said that they possess a tremendous amount of Spiritual Power but actually convert all of it to instead use Divine Power. She guessed that it has something to do with their physiology but she wasn't sure so she's investigating."

"She can tell something like that by just looking?"

"Her eyes are really good. Even though she didn't study medicine formally, many bigshots would still call her when they feel something isn't right and she'll be able to tell the problem immediately. With the help of a proper doctor, her diagnosis is almost always on point." Stralit stretched her body as she slowly stood up, "Though that's also the reason why she ran away from home. She hated being used by those old folks."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'I doubt that's the only reason. From my investigation, she's so far down the succession line so even with her father's protection, there will be idiots who'll try to claim her for themselves.' Yoruichi thought back to the first time she met Gwenn, 'After all, it wasn't just her observation that was good, but also her manipulation of energy flow that stemmed from that observation. If properly trained, she could probably redirect everything that was thrown to her back to her enemies.'

"Do you need Gwenn for something?" Stralit added.

Yoruichi shook her head, "No. It's actually convenient that she's not here. Have you checked if there are any bugs that Gwenn left?"

"I've been using my [Shadow] to monitor my surroundings so no."

"You can use your [Shadow] even though you're restricted?"

"It's thanks to my training with Benihime. To keep myself from exploding when I use my abilities, I need to get used to extreme control."

"Then what did Gwenn say? I doubt she didn't notice this."

"I told her it's my training so she's not suspicious of it... I think."

"I see. Then I'll get directly to the point. I'd like you to contact your mother and ask her if Kisuke could meet this Holy Mother of yours."

"If you could, can you tell me what you need that for first?"

======================

AN: Finally! The first post of the year! Incredibly late but thank you very much for waiting!

I'm sorry for the delay. I didn't really expect to get the assistance I applied for this early. But thanks to that, my father was able to get the surgery he needed for his snapped femur. He's already 70+ old with a bunch of age related issue so I'm pretty worried.

Thankfully, the surgery was a success and he's now resting in the recovery room.

If you message me, I might not be able to respond immediately.

Anyways, please enjoy and have a great day~! Cheers!
