Volume 9 Chapter 551 - Godly Guests
Dylan didn\'t say anything immediately and instead looked at Kisuke for a moment before smiling, "This brat really did it. Not just a simple check-up, but he also went ahead and cured it for me."
The girls\' eyes widened and extreme happiness overcame them, "Really!? Yaay!" Serafall opened her arms and was about to hug Kisuke out of appreciation. However, just as she was about to do so, she suddenly felt both of her parents\' stares and became very conscious of her actions. So instead, she turned to her father without pause and hugged him, "Yaay!!!"
But instead of being glad of this change of heart, Dylan and Cordelia were instead even more surprised. Serafall was their daughter and even if they don\'t really like her antics, they knew her well. Serafall, if she was happy about something she would cling onto someone she\'s fairly close with without thinking about it.
Dylan and Cordelia only stared at her actions as a form of reprimand and also as a form of light teasing. Nevertheless, they didn\'t expect Serafall would suddenly become conscious of her usual actions.
While looking down at his smiling daughter, Dylan suddenly snapped his head towards Kisuke and declared with a glare, "I\'ll never give you Serafall!"
Of course, Kisuke and Serafall were dumbfounded, "Uhmm… It seems there\'s a bit of misunderstanding. I\'m going out with your other daughter, Sona-chan, not Serafall-sama."
"That\'s right, dad… What are you talking about?"
"Nothing… I\'m just reminding him."
On the side, Cordelia only chuckled, "Kisuke-kun, however may we pay this debt to you?"
"Please don\'t think about it anymore. Just you approving my relationship with Sona is more than enough." replied Kisuke as he looked at his wristwatch, "I\'m sorry, but I cannot entertain you any longer as I need to do something else."
Dylan fixed his clothes and said, "It\'s fine. We already bothered you long enough. I have to return now for further examinations. Let\'s meet again some other time." He then faced Cordelia and Serafall, "Let\'s go."
"I\'d like to stay longer. I need to discuss something with Ki-tan," replied Serafall.
Seeing her serious demeanor, Dylan nodded, "Alright. We\'ll go first. Once again, I thank you for your efforts, Kisuke Urahara. I\'ll make sure that your \'cure\' won\'t be misused."
"You\'re very much welcome~. And if you are planning to release this to the public, please don\'t add my name to it. We wouldn\'t like unnecessary complications and I don\'t really like fame either. I\'m just a pursuer of knowledge and nothing more."
Dylan closed his eyes and answered, "I see. I\'ll take note of that. Well then, goodbye." He and Cordelia then teleported away.
"Well then, when are they willing to meet up?" Kisuke disrobed his lab coat and put on his shihakusho as he asked Serafall.
"Athena told me that she\'d like to meet you as soon as possible. Not just that, she wanted you to meet another person, though she didn\'t reveal the identity of her companion," replied Serafall.
Kisuke nodded, "Alright. Please send them the coordinates of this place in ten minutes. I\'d meet them now."
"You did say that you already planned to abandon this place, but are you sure? This is your only base of operation, right?"
"Right. That\'s why I already took some steps to make another base and in just a few minutes, I can already start making that base in earnest."
"But this next base is still in the Dimensional Gap, right? Then isn\'t it a bit counterintuitive to create another when there isn\'t much advantage to gain? I think this will be just a useless effort."
"I know, but it isn\'t going to be in the Dimensional Gap. It\'s the most secure location for most people, but I happen to know a better one so I\'m going with that."
"Hmmm… I see. But you have to invite me over! That\'s a must!"
"Of course~! Anything for my sister-in-law~!"
"Don\'t call me that! At least defeat Sirzechs-chan before calling me that!" hollered Serafall.
"Got it. I\'ll work hard, Sera-tan~."
"Umu!" Serafall nodded in satisfaction. However, deep inside, she was surprised at how much she didn\'t like the \'sister-in-law\' call and thought, \'It\'s really hard to let go of my dear cute little sister, even if it\'s to Ki-tan.\'
.

Half an hour later, a teleportation circle in the middle of the hideout emerged and Kisuke and Serafall got ready. A few seconds later, two cloaked figures appeared and walked out of the magic circle.
"Welcome, guests. I hope you don\'t mind the reception here," Kisuke greeted them.
The taller one of the two stepped out and removed the hood of her cloak, revealing the familiar wavy-black-haired beauty, Athena, "It\'s been a while, Kisuke Urahara. I didn\'t want us to meet like this, but the situation is urgent. Thank you for having us."
Unlike her former bossy attitude, Athena mellowed out and gave proper respect to Kisuke. At this point, she didn\'t see him as an enemy anymore but a \'savior\' and potential comrade.
Kisuke smiled at her and replied, "It\'s a pleasure to have you here." He then looked towards her still cloaked companion. As his eyes landed on her, she shook but immediately stopped. However, the fear emanating from her is obvious to everyone.
Seeing this, Athena spoke up, "Kisuke Urahara… About her…" But Kisuke raised his hand to stop her, "Please just call me Kisuke."
Kisuke stepped forward and started walking towards the figure behind Athena. Noticing this, the figure visibly shook again and tried to hide behind Athena. Thanks to this and the somehow familiar aura she\'s emitting, Kisuke figured out the identity of Athena\'s companion, "I didn\'t expect to meet you again. Nyx-san, was it? Welcome to my humble abode."
Without much choice, the shorter figure removed her hood, showing her long black hair, pointy ears, and childish face. However, contrary to her cheerful demeanor that Kisuke remembered, Nyx right now was very haggard and had eyes full of fear, "G-good day to you… K-Kisuke Urahara," replied Nyx with a shaking voice.
If it was a normal opponent that defeated her, she would have honorably admitted her defeat with a satisfied smile. However, the Kisuke she met that day not just almost instantly killed her, but also gave her quite a bit of trauma. It already took her every bit of courage just to appear in front of him.
"Please follow me. Seeing you two here, it looks like it\'ll be a long discussion. Let\'s talk over some tea." Kisuke invited them inside his lodging.
