Chapter 184: Arriving in the living world. The name of the city is...

(Ryoto's pov)

Business is booming, and I'm happy about it. I become known as someone who has a lollipop with him at all times. There were even a few students who were buying them from me directly as the shop was constantly out of stock because of the lollipops' success.

Urahara and I were forced to open more candy shops, and since it was too time-consuming to run all that business, we decided to dumb it on someone else.

To be honest, I don't care about the business all that much. My only goal was to create lollipops, and money was just a bonus. The same could be said about Kisuke. He found the idea interesting and was somehow drawn to the idea of owning a candy shop.

In the end, we run only one store sometimes, and the rest is just there run by other people, and we get to keep precentor of the money.

We earned enough money to pay back Yoruichi, so I call it a success.

The strange thing is that besides training, Yamamoto-sensei was inviting me to tea parties. I call them parties but it was only me, him, and sometimes his lieutenant. We were just relaxing.

He looked at me strangely, though, when I drank tea with a lollipop on the side. In my opinion, it had a nice synergy, but Yama-jii was a traditionalist and didn't appreciate my invention.

His loss.

But tomorrow is a big day, and I'm nervous. Tomorrow is a day when we go to the living world to practice Konso or Soul Burial. In short, we are going to learn how to send souls in the living world to Soul Society or Hell.

I'm not nervous about the training in itself, but it will be a day when Rin will realize that we are in another world.

I didn't tell her about it for two reasons.

First, it's better for her to discover it on her own. She could either not believe me and think that I just want to give her hope or hold onto that hope in an unhealthy obsession and would not try to reach out to other people other than me. Since we are going to stay here for a long time, it wouldn't be good for her.

Second, I was worried about her mental state at the beginning. She wasn't in the right state of mind for the first few months, but she stabilized as of late. Yoruichi, Kisuke, and Tessai helped a lot with that. But before that, I didn't know how she would react. I could speculate (which I did), but better safe than sorry.

Now I can only wait.

The next day our whole class gathered before the gate to the living world. The students from class 6, our senpai. They explained the basics of how they would be guarding us, showed us how to perform Konso, and then let us do it in practice.

We shouldn't encounter any Hollows, but it just sounds like they set up a flag even though Aizen isn't plotting anything at the moment. I don't even know if he is already born or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if he started his plan before he was even born.

I'm joking, but at least part of me would believe it if he said that to me.

Rin looked nervous about the whole ordeal. Understandably so, but I was here to calm her down.

I put my hand on her shoulder, and she flinched, showing how tense she was.

Ryoto: "Nervous?"

Rin: "You aren't? We are going to the living world after over a year. What if we meet someone we know? What if we weren't the only ones that died that day? Aren't you scared of the possibilities?"

I flicked her head which surprised her. She didn't know how to respond. She held her forehead with both of her hands.

Ryoto: "You are overthinking. We don't even know where we are going. It can be Tokyo. It could be Kyoto. Maybe we are going to Osaka. We may even learn something about how we got into Soul Society. I have my suspicions, but I'll be sure when we'll arrive there."

Telling someone to not overthink things may seem hypocritical for me to do, but I don't care.

Ryoto: "In any case, I'll be there for you."

I gave her some headpats. She forgot about her forehead and enjoyed the moment with closed eyes until she remembered where she was and embarrassingly escaped my hand.

Yoruichi noticed what happened and started teasing both of us but I wasn't bothered by it.

(Rin's pov)

I was very nervous and didn't know what to do. Thankfully Ryoto calmed me down. I know that I said it before, but I don't know what I would do without him.

He even patted my head, and he is surprisingly good at it. Or should I say it was expected?

Nevermind that.

Yoruichi-San seeing this, tried to tease us.

Yoruichi: "Hoh~. Is it romance I am seeing?"

She was speaking with a grin. I was clearly embarrassed, but Ryoto stayed calm and teased her back.

Ryoto: "You don't need to be jealous. Here I'll give you headpats as well."

He did exactly what he said. I was surprised that Yoruichi-san just let him do it. All of us knew that she could escape before Ryoto could even touch her, but Yoruichi-san was very proud as well, so maybe she didn't want to run away from the challenge. Ryoto was basically the only one who was brave enough to tease her back.

(E/D: I would rather headpat a Loli or a Youkai. Loli Youkai is the combo for headpatting by the way but unfortunately we live in 3D so... I am just lewd my cat.)

As the hand reached her head and the patting began. At first, there wasn't any reaction from Yoruichi-san, but the longer the hand stayed on her head, I could start to see it having an effect. Before it could turn into something dangerous, she stepped back in a hurry like a scared cat.

This made Ryoto smirk.

Ryoto: "Hoh~. Shihoin clan's princess is scared of little skin contact?"

Yoruichi-san was annoyed at being teased, and Shunpo herself behind Ryoto. At the same time, Ryoto used the same movement technique to get away from her.

They messed around for a little while until our senpai called them out for disturbing the explanation.

After that everyone got their hell butterfly that allowed us to travel to the living world safely.

On the other side, I saw a city that looked like it belonged to feudal Japan.

What's going on?

Senpai: "We are currently in a city called Edo, and we'll start our lesson immediately!"
