Chapter 83: DID YOU SAY, FESTIVAL ?
After the reunion was finished, Momo hurriedly left to go make her report.
The operation would happen in one week once all the preparations were finalized.
Since they would have to travel through the Dangai and most likely Garganta, using Shinigami below the level of 3rd seat or at least vice-captain would be simply a waste of time.
Despite this, be it to open a special Senkaimon that directly lead to Dangai or stopping the activity in the Dangai itself, they would need at least one complete squad of both the Kido corps and the science department. The healing department would also send a squad to act as support.
In the end, the main force would be Soi Fon, and the other high-ranked member of the Secret force, as well as Gojo.
For Gojo, this operation held a completely different meaning than simply killing some exiled nobles who were up to mischief.
It meant a high chance of getting a hint toward the creation of Limitless --- or something much more.
Creating a technique from nothing was extremely hard.
One of the reasons he managed to recreate his Domain expansion: Infinite void, was mainly because he had access to books and information about the creation of barriers in this world.
Since domain expansion was in reality nothing more than the highest form of barrier manipulation, he had been able to extrapolate and create his own blend. Though, its effects were far more savage.
Now here was the problem. All research about space and time were forbidden in Soul Society, with death being the punishment.
The very few archives about those topics were sealed deep in the library of the Central 46.
Gojo was the kind of man who refused to put all his eggs in one basket. He had different ways to reach his goal, and if everything else failed, he would simply flip the entire table.
Some may call him a rogue, but he believed that he was merely realistic.
The Dangai was a place where time was disturbed to the highest degree. He really hoped that the search would yield sufficient results.

When Gojo went back to his home with Nemu following him, he was once again surprised by how obedient she was.
During this week together, he had, many times, thought about making her wear a maid uniform.
Sadly, the maid culture, as in the one in Japan, was only born in 2001. Currently, the only kind of maids known were European ones, and he really wasn't attracted by those uniforms that covered their whole bodies.
Not to mention, it would be quite provocative for a vice-captain to wear white and black. The poor girl was traumatized enough as it was. There was no need to sprinkle salt on the already existing wounds.
What's more, this time, even if he once again managed to reach the top, he wouldn't be alone, would he?
[You're damn right.]
The voice of Kogo soothed his heart. Having someone who understood everything about you and that you could trust from the bottom of your heart was a rather nice feeling.
Thanks to Kogo's words and the good tea, Gojo was more relaxed than ever and suddenly asked,
"Now that I think about it, in two days, it will be Obon, right?"
Nemu tilted her head at the sudden question before searching through her memory and answered shortly,
"Indeed."
Gojo smiled. When they had visited the Shiba, both the eldest sister and the youngest brother had been absent. It seemed that they had been busy preparing for a festival.
From what he knew of the Shiba family, they specialized in fireworks and they always organized that party.
Obon was also known as the festival of the dead. In Japan, it happened every year, but here, it only happened every ten years, in the first few districts of the Rukongai.
'Souls of the deceased, participating in the festival of the dead, heh, how could I miss it?'
"Hey, Nemu." Sizing her up and down, he asked, "Do you have a Kimono or a yukata? Other than your uniform, I mean."
Looking at her blank expression, Gojo's lips curled into a smile of anticipation. This festival promised to be a very interesting day.
(AN: Time for a little festival arc before the serious things start. Welp, now I need to find a good Kimono design.
