Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1171 Return to Seireitei



Chapter 1171 Return to Seireitei

Kisuke already expected it but Soifon really didn't change her mind. He still can't fully understand her motivation since he was never ambitious. But if he's going to compare it to his thirst for knowledge and overall curiosity, then he could somehow relate.

"So you're going to return like this, huh?"

Soifon finished checking her body and Zanpakuto's condition and said, "Yes. That's why let's set our stories straight."

Kisuke rubbed his chin for a few seconds before saying, "Let's go with your Spiritual Body not being able to survive the decomposition and I had no choice but to put your soul in an experimental Physical Body called a Homunculus. It took us 3 months to stabilize everything so you could only return now. Regarding your abilities, just tell them that various books about Magic and Ki are scattered in this base and I just let you do what you want and would only interfere if you're doing something wrong or dangerous."

"That doesn't sound like I'm a captive."

"Because you're not. You're a patient, and an amusing Shinigami trying her hands on new toys."

"Do you really have to phrase it like that?"

"Yes. And don't forget to tell them that. I don't want them to think that I'm on their side. I want to maintain my neutrality."

"And if they ask your name?"

"Belial. Just call me Belial."

"Same as those kids' last names?"

"Yes. It's the name of our household on the other side and the name of the Devil our clan originated from."

"Devil, huh? I still can't believe something like that exists I'm going now." Soifon turned around to the portal that'll lead her back to the Human World. Since normal Humans were capable of seeing her, she's wearing casual clothes that are appropriate for the season. But although they looked normal, they were specially made clothes that are even stronger than Lieutenant-level Shihakusho.

Soifon stepped into the Human World and even though it was just three months, she still missed the air, 'It's the Human World... But there's something slightly different.'

Kisuke was about to close the portal and he remembered something and asked, "By the way, you never once released your Bankai. What are you trying to hide?"

Soifon turned her head to him with a grin and answered, "My ace."

Soifon first walked around the Human World and although it was small in number, there were a few glances that went her way and it bothered her greatly. It was a very different experience compared to when she's a Shinigami. She doesn't know if this is how those who constantly used a Gigai felt since unlike them, she had no limitations to her abilities and her instincts were always kicking in to use them for her own convenience, 'I can't just suddenly disappear from their sights. This is more annoying than I thought.'

Nevertheless, it was still a good thing for her to experience this to prepare herself for the future. After roaming around for about an hour, Soifon decided to find a desolate place and open a Senkaimon.

Thankfully, they hadn't revoked her authority to open one, or else her only option was to go through the Garganta or call for another Shinigami to open a Senkaimon for her.

After making sure that there's nothing wrong with it and that she had a Hell Butterfly accompanying her, she went through the door she opened and found herself passing through the only permanent Senkaimon in the Seireitei.

The moment she stepped out, one of the two guards addressed her with a startled voice, "C-Captain Soifon! You've returned! But those clothes..."

Soifon's strict expression didn't change as she turned to the one who talked to her, "There are various circumstances for this. Is the Captain Commander in his barracks now?"

The guard became nervous because Soifon sounded pissed, "The Captain Commander and the other Captains should be in the 1st Division barracks right now for a meeting!"

"I see. Good work. I'll report to the Captain Commander first."

"Yes! Understood!"

Soifon stopped paying attention to the guards and used Flash Step to get off the tower where the Senkaimon was.

Naturally, her arrival was immediately detected by those skilled enough.

Within the 1st Division Barracks, all the Captains were called to discuss the subsequent actions they should take to Hell since Mayuri just announced that he found a way to avoid Hell's Punishment without relying on Kazui's ability.

And just as Shunsui was about to adjourn the meeting, they all felt Soifon's Reiatsu appear within the Seireitei.

Most of them turned in the direction of the Senkaimon that just emitted a pillar of light and Isane merrily muttered, "Finally..."

Since they could all tell that Soifon was making her way to the 1st Division Barracks, they decided to wait with Shunsui saying, "It looks like we have another subject of importance for today."

"I will readjust your schedule for today." Nanao, the only non-Captain in the room, said while fixing the position of her glasses.

"Couldn't you just cancel everything?"

"No."

While listening to Nanao and Shunsui bicker, Soifon arrived at the front door, "Captain Commander, Captain of the 2nd Division reporting." Since the meeting had already started, Soifon didn't want to just head in without saying anything.

Shunsui sighed and properly sat down, "Come in."

Soifon entered the room and everyone's eyes immediately landed on her, with all of their attention except for one person gathered at one point. The dark blue slacks pants, beige colored polo shirt, and a gray baggy hoodie, 'The world of the living's clothes?' they wondered.

However, their focus was broken when all of a sudden, Mayuri pulled out his Zanpakuto and released his Shikai.

Everyone else subtly created distance from each other while Shunsui frowned, "Kurotsuchi-kun, mind telling us what you're trying to do?"

"Just a bit of a precaution." Mayuri instantly answered, maintaining his eyes on Soifon, "More importantly, I want to confirm something."

Shunsui glanced at Soifon, then to the other Captains also wondering what was going on, and finally back to Mayuri, "Go on."

"All Gigai, except for specially made ones, are automatically destroyed upon passage through Senkaimon, correct?"

'Gigai?' Shunsui and the others asked themselves while returning their sights to Soifon. It was then that they understood that Soifon had a Physical Body. Although it's strange, they still don't get why Mayuri suddenly pulled out his weapon.

Mayuri glanced around and was disappointed that they hadn't caught on yet so he continued, "But no matter how special a Gigai is, there should be no way for her to use her abilities while in it. Of course, there's an exception for a disposable Gigai but that's still in experimental stages and I haven't released any of them nor are any of them unaccounted for."

"!?" They finally realized where Mayuri was getting at.
