Chapter 61 – Deterrence
If Ailin chooses to go to the Human World with Haruko Kuchiki, Kisuke Urahara can let down half of his guard towards Ailin.
After all, someone with emotional attachments is unlikely to walk the most extreme path, and may even protect the world for the sake of their attachments.
But if Ailin merely chooses to have other Soul Reapers protect Haruko Kuchiki, then Kisuke Urahara must make some preparations in his heart to face Ailin in the future.
"Thank you Urahara and Lady Yoruichi for always taking the time to care for my illness."
Just as Kisuke Urahara was observing Ailin, Haruko Kuchiki, who had been ignored by everyone, suddenly stood between Ailin and Kisuke Urahara and smiled as she rejected Kisuke Urahara's proposal.
"However, for me, how long I can live is not important. I am the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family. Ailin is currently the pillar of the Kuchiki family. The Kuchiki family can do without me, but it cannot do without Ailin. So, Lady Yoruichi, I understand your kind intentions. Ailin, let's go back."
Then, Haruko Kuchiki turned around and pulled Ailin's hand, wanting to go back. As Ailin's wife, she would not let her husband do anything against his own will for her sake, nor did she want any problems to arise between her and Ailin.
Haruko Kuchiki dared not imagine what she would think in her heart if Ailin accepted this treatment plan but did not accompany her to the Human World. Would she still love Ailin as much as before?
At the same time, as the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family, Haruko Kuchiki also knew that her father was already old in age, and her nephew Byakuya Kuchiki had yet to grow up.
If Ailin chose to go to the Human World with her at this time, it was very likely that the Kuchiki family would decline.
Haruko Kuchiki had already accepted and chosen her own fate three years ago. Now, with Kisuke Urahara's help, her soul had recovered a bit, allowing her to accompany Ailin for a while longer. Haruko Kuchiki was already very content.
However, Haruko Kuchiki did not manage to pull Ailin along. The reason Ailin did not respond just now was not because he did not want to go to the Human World with Haruko Kuchiki, but because Ailin was considering where in the Human World they should settle down.
A few seconds after Ailin left, Kisuke Urahara scratched his messy hair, "Oh my, listening to Captain Ailin's last words, it was as if I would add something shady inside Lady Kuchiki's Gigai. How could that be..."
"Would you?" Yoruichi asked with her arms crossed. Her usually smiling face revealed an unusually stern expression.
Kisuke Urahara put his hand down from scratching his head and stopped joking around. "I did have that thought before. After all, this guy is too mysterious. He spent 35 years in the 2nd Division. For most of that time, he stayed in the barracks. The only one he had a relatively close relationship with was his former squad leader of the Detention Unit, Kuta Aokigi."
"Although people healed by him in the Detention Unit wanted to get closer after seeing his superb healing abilities, their efforts were largely fruitless. Even after he defeated Vice Captain Marenoshin Ōmaeda to become the 2nd Division's Vice Captain 5 years ago, nothing changed."
"It was only through a casual chat with Shaolin Fon that I found out he only started going out after learning he could as long as he arrived at the training grounds before the emergency assembly bell stopped ringing. Only then did he begin leaving the 2nd Division and frequenting bars."
"After that, he met the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family, fought with Koga of the 1st Division, eventually became the Kuchiki family's son-in-law and the Captain of the 6th Division..."
"If he wasn't so concerned about Lady Kuchiki..." Speaking to here, Kisuke Urahara shook his head and glanced at Yoruichi Shihoin.
How could he not be the same?
What would he have become if not for Yoruichi after finding out the "Soul King's" secrets?
"That's right, Kisuke. So you'd better not carry out those thoughts of yours." Yoruichi looked seriously at Kisuke Urahara, "You saw how he left just now too right? Other than verbal threats, his actions were also deterring us."
"Even with someone in tow, his speed exceeded what I could sense with my spiritual pressure. In other words, his Shunpo surpasses mine!"
