Chapter 373

“Alright, Roman, I’m where you told me to go, but I don’t see anything?” I held my Scroll up with one hand as I wacked away some overgrown vegetation with Mirage.

“Do you see a big scary door?”

“All I see are trees.”

“Then you’re not in the right place.”

“I’m exactly at the coordinates you gave me.” I held the Scroll up and spun around so he could see.

“Hey, that’s what I was told. But he said to look for a large tree – ...

Well, Rin just dropped that little bombshell as they were all staring at me. Not that I was at all ashamed, but I generally don’t just blurt it out for some kind of clout.

“When you say Harem…”

“Yes, it is exactly what you are thinking.” Artoria was the one who answered Roman. She didn’t seem to mind answering the question or it being brought up, so I suppose it doesn’t matter.

“I kinda wanna call bullshit, and I definitely would if it was him, but...

Salem POV

“You are….his…lover?” I asked in surprise.

“Yes, among other things.” She said simply as if it were not a significant discovery on my part. “How strange, I did not expect to meet you at this instance. But the whims of fate are often unexpected.”

“You have appeared here by chance? The one time I leave my domain and venture outside?” I asked skeptically.

She held up a finger and the magic around her swirled to reveal a string of sym...

“What’s wrong, Watermelon, not happy to see your dad?” It was Rin of all people giving me shit. Gods, that smug smile on her face as she mocked me.

“Rin, I want you to remember this moment. How happy you are right now. I want you remember this when I will get even.” I looked at her as I took a seat on the other side of Artoria from her.

“Okay, Watermelon.” She replied as no expressive as possible, which just added to the stinging feeling n my gut.

I didn’t want to play coy or do one of our back and forths, I wanted to be completely honest with her as she deserved that much from me. However, perhaps I should have eased her into it instead of just blurting out something like that right off the bat.

“Are you an alien?” She asked, with a hint of sarcasm to it.

“You know, that isn’t the first time someone on this planet asked me that…” I chuckled awkwardly. “And by the strictest definition…..technically? But…...

I went through the motions of stretching my arms. “Rules?” I asked.

“Hmm, same as always, however, I wish to see what you have learned.” Scáthach hummed, summoning her spear.

“Sure, but keep in mind that I’m still a bit inexperienced with it.” I brought out my Zanpakutō.

“Then you had better learn quickly.” She flashed a feral grin, and I realized I was in for a hard time. “If you impress me, I will lay with you afterwards.”

Well…. consider me...

“And you have the thing I told you to keep on yourself at all times?” I looked at my adorable little fox.

“Uh huh.” She held up the Talisman I specially prepared for her. Or rather, the newest iteration of it. Based on the original design, and similar to the one I gave the kids back in Soul Society. Though, this one was significantly more powerful.

This one held a full powered attack of mine using my Authority inside of it. It took some time and effort, but I managed to so...

“Mother!?”

“Susanoo.” I cleared my throat, slowly sliding my hand out of Wilhelm’s. “What are you doing here?”

“You were gone for awhile and I was worried! If you didn’t come back soon I was going to go ask for help.” He admitted making my heart feel very warm. “Wait, that doesn’t matter. Why are you – and him!” He threw his finger at Wilhelm.

Shunsui walked up, his Lieutenant flanking his side. He carried himself casually a little welcoming smile on his face as he saw us. It didn’t do anything to eliminate that underlining nervousness that he seemed to have. Mostly because Izzy was at my side I would presume.

Nonetheless, Izzy held a sort of mild impression towards him. I’ve know her long enough now to understand how she thinks about certain things. Shunsui had been respectful but not entirely fearful of her eve...

It’s weird.

Nothing changed for Izzy and I, yet at the same time, everything did. She was still the same wonderful and amazing woman that I considered an irreplaceable friend. Someone I trusted with my life and even that of my loved ones. But there was that extra little something there now. Maybe It was always there but I just ignored it because of my own stupidity.

The little looks we gave each other, the small smiles when our eyes met. The little touches too were always welcom...

“I-if you need anything else, please call for me.”

What was her name, Nanao? Shunsui’s lieutenant.

“Thank you, Child.” Izzy calmly and politely thanked the Shinigami for the tea.

The Shinigami seemed to stiffen and sort of sputter out a response before quickly disappearing from the room.

After the whole….incident they had very politely given us a room to wait in. It was funny to see the Shinigami utterly speechless and trying to comprehend what exa...

Izanami POV

I usually kept a lid on my Divine Nature.

There were things that Gods simply could not avoid when presenting themselves in their true forms when Mortals gazed upon us. Something instinctual that pricked at the back of their minds that told them that we were not simple. It was easier for these Spirits to peer slightly behind the curtain even if I didn’t reveal myself.

And now, that lid had been taken off.

My Divinity swept out in...

Despite the many eyes on me, I looked down at the prize in my hand….in Aizen’s hand. I was technically still holding his hand. His cleanly severed hand that was still clutching tight to the marble thing in a small hexagonal barrier around it.

I admit, I was surprised to see him so quickly decide to cut his own hand off to escape.

Credit where it was due, I may not have the same resolve to pull on abruptly like that.

Then again, I can understand, one of my strongest spell...

“Should we be….more active?” Izzy asked.

“It’d probably be more detrimental, to be honest. I think the Old Man is just looking for an excuse to defer the Execution long enough to get everything settled legally.” I added some air quotes around the word. “The plan that the kids came up with is pretty sound.”

“Their plan pretty much consisted of running in and beating up everyone and running away.” She deadpanned.

The hot spring was magnificent.

It had been awhile since I’ve used one, and they were always so relaxing. The pleasantly hot water simmering against my skin was soothing. Not to mention there was something a little special about this one. I’m fairly sure there was a rejuvenation effect imbedded in this water. Both for stamina and any lesser injuries, if I had to guess.

Normally, I’d be all over trying to figure it out, but even my need to know things can be dissuade...

Both Izzy and I stepped out of my portal, feet sinking into the rocky sand below.

“I would ask if we left Soul Society and were back in the candy man’s basement.” Izzy looked around.

“You call him the candy man too?” I asked.

“I have been in my head since I met him.” She admitted.

Heh.

Right, yeah, this place looked exactly like that guy’s basement.

Maybe a tad bigger, but the space here was extended and expanded in the nearly the same way. ...

Non-Canon Omake: The mysterious Read-headed woman.


Getting blasted out of the world-line by the Demon was…not pleasant.

And by that I mean, I was in so much pain it made it hard to think properly. Avalon was doing what it could, but I had taken a huge hit.

I was thankful to the piece of Big G in the spear, giving me that tiny opportunity to sort of yank myself out of harms away. I wasn’t in the right mind, so I couldn’t precisely aim myself, more so, just hurl my body in a sort of general direction that I felt was...

“You look beautiful.”

“You say that regardless of what I am wearing.” Artoria smiled bashfully.

Well, it’s not every day I get to see her wearing just jeans and a T-Shirt. She usually opts for more feminine clothing. I asked her about it before, and she mentioned that she was used to wearing ‘trousers’ and such during her life that she wanted to be wearing the opposite now that she embraced being a woman.<...

Oh, he was furious.

Felt like I was gonna start sweating, and not because the pressure.

It was kind of funny, watching Shunsui open his mouth, attempting to say something, then the words not being able to come out of his mouth. He tried a handful of times at this point and Izzy just stood there, looking absolutely amused by the entire thing.

Despite the very….strange circumstances of this impromptu outing, I’m glad Izzy appeared to be enjoying herself.

And really, his own confusion and uncertainty only diminished once that other Captain appeared.

“Do you know your sins?” Jugram Haschwalth addressed everyone in my place as I sat upon my throne, overlooking the gathering of my Sternritter.

My elite soldiers.

It was difficult to say what emotions I was feeling at this moment. I don’t think I’ve ever been quite as enraged in my entire life and that is a significant feat. Perhaps I’ve gone past pure rage and my mind cleared allowing me full coherence?

A fake dead body? That’s fucking weird.

Seems like someone was playing some games for whatever reason.

Anyways, I focused back on my ‘opponent’. Always happen to lend Shunsui a hand, he’s been such a good person and helping me out. I couldn’t not return the favor when he was in trouble.

And judging by the amount of Reiatsu this would seemed to be radiating, she was pretty damn strong. However, as I said, I was perhaps her absolute worst matchup. Even considering th...

I was in a pretty good mood at this point.

Managed to settle things to a somewhat satisfactory level with the leader here, so things should go much more smoothly the next few days.

And I didn’t even have to resort to fighting him. Well, I admit I was a little enthused with the idea of a fight with that old man, but I had certain other priorities. If I was just on my own, I’d probably be more open to the idea. But alas, it wasn’t a good opportunity at this point in time.

This was a strange situation I found myself in.

The rather monotone way he said it to me did not betray the undertone of fire that accompanied the words.

I had no doubt that he was ready to make good on his threat.

Even if I felt my lightning bubbling up wanting to meetthis threat, I pushed it back downwards, recognizing that it wasn’t the correct moment.

I could give in to my inner fighter if things went side ways after I gave my attempt to settlin...

My original plan was to head back to Izzy and the others to relay what my next move was, but….then I saw the giant black hand in the sky and realized that something may have went wrong.

I of course quickly called Izzy to figure out the situation and she said she had it handled. Though Yoruichi seemed to be freaking out in the background for some reason.

Something about a Captain ambushing them and she gave him a time out in the shadows.

I suppose it didn’t really matter....

Hello everyone, sorry for the late update. Meant to put this out yesterday, but the pain started back up and the Pain Meds just kicked me on my butt again and passed out shortly after.

I'm doing somewhat better. I think i'm slightly better than yesterday, but it's slow going. I'm stuck in this cycle where either i'm in pain and it's hard to focus on anything, I'm taking my pain meds and they make it hard to focus on anything, or i'm trying to sleep off either.
