chapter 1347 additional guests part 3
the day before the summit, kisuke returned to the ouroboros academy after getting an earful from issei for overworking rossweisse.
what he came into after long days of work was a small gathering between the core members of the ouroboros academy who also just came back from the summit preparation and the guests from the soul society.
just as he walked in, he heard kirio happily narrating his childhood stories, "because he didn't have any friends, he would recklessly sneak into shihouin manor to ask yoruichi to play with him."
kirio caught sight of kisuke entering with an embarrassed expression and stopped momentarily, "ara, you're finally back."
everyone in the room also looked in his direction but he told them to settle down.
"i hope you aren't saying anything exaggerated."
"that wasn't exaggerated. that's the main reason why i asked you to come to the onmitsukidou." yoruichi immediately piped in while lazing on the sofa with chips in her hand, "i didn't tell you this but you seriously hurt the shihouin house's pride that time. think about it, a snotty brat was able to sneak into the house that cultivates spies and assassins. you have no idea how funny it was when they were trying to figure out how you did it, not just one time, but several."
kisuke walked towards shinji and gestured for him to move a bit before sitting down beside him, "at that time, i already had the first prototype for the reiatsu-hiding cloak."
"and you didn't share that tech until you became the captain of the 12th division?" shinji asked.
in response, kisuke just chuckled, "if you were in my position, would you?"
shinji thought about it for a moment before answering, "i certainly wouldn't. but it's impressive you were able to think that far as a child."
"well, the outer layer of the rukongai district isn't exactly safe and peaceful."
"hikifune-san, please continue your stories." koneko, not at all bothered by his seemingly grim past, urged kirio to continue what she was doing.
kirio smiled and restarted her narration while entirely ignoring kisuke's presence.
in front of her were kuroka, koneko, akeno, irina, and aika, carefully listening to every detail.
meanwhile, off to the side on another table, riveria, medusa, sona, senjumaru, and retsu are sharing a lively conversation.
on the other hand, ouetsu and tenjirou are catching up to each other while yoruichi and shinji occasionally chime in.
kisuke took a long, deep breath before a soft smile cracked on his face. this peacefulness is what he has been trying to achieve, however, circumstances don't allow that.
all of a sudden, medusa spoke up, "akeno, mind turning this way?"
confused and curious akeno turned around but as soon as she met her eyes, she noticed that medusa wasn't wearing her glasses, "w-what!?"
the next instant, although she didn't turn into stone, her body froze, "it's a story that i don't know. sounds amusing. i'd like to hear it."
"n-nooooo!!!"
akeno tried to resist the petrification but medusa was also pouring in a massive amount of divine power into her eyes, rendering her actions useless.
that night, a lively party of storytelling consumed their time with each girl recounting their experience with kisuke, giving a whole lot of perspective to how kisuke was able to end up with this web of relationships.
as for akeno's embarrassing story, it was set aside for later after this very cool and mature woman cried for real.

when the sun came up, the members of the ouroboros academy except for kisuke and yoruichi started leaving to prepare for the important event.
"that was a strangely fruitful night." yoruichi commented while stretching her limbs, "do you finally get it now?" she turned to soifon who was looking at the rising sun.
"to summarize all of it, you guys have a strange taste in men." was soifon's takeaway for the entire night.
yoruichi was speechless for a moment before chucking, "if you put it like that, i can't exactly deny it." she then turned to kisuke with a big smile, "but enough about that. it's about time you confront them. i'm sure they already got word of your attendance and are seeing you as a very valuable player, they'll use any method to pull you to their side."
"iya~ i'm really flattered, but they are misunderstanding something and i'll make sure to tell them that to their faces."
yoruichi let out a short breath before patting his back, "whatever. leave everything on this side to us. i'll make sure that they won't be able to take hold of your weakness."
kisuke grinned, but this time, full of malice, "don't worry. they won't have the chance." all kisuke told them was he'd do something big at the summit. he's afraid that his intentions would leak so he doesn't tell anyone what exactly he's trying to achieve, 'with all the weird techniques and spells floating around now that the evie and etoulde technology have flowed into those guys' tech basket, i can't risk diminishing the surprise i prepared.'
