Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1133 Cornered Kazui part 2

"Ichigo... I think we should listen to Kon-chan." Inoue was the first one to cave in to Kon's pleas.

Ichigo sighed, having the same thoughts, however, "But it's too dangerous. We don't know what might happen the longer we're in the dark. Kazui, I know that your promises are important, but you're important to us too. Right now, you're involved in something very dangerous and we won't know how to protect you if we don't know anything."

But even after Ichigo's words, Kazui remained silent. As he is just a very young and innocent boy, he really couldn't understand his parents' words, especially since he doesn't see the danger they were talking about. In fact, he was in a very friendly relationship with 'Hell' so he couldn't acknowledge their words even at face value.

Everyone didn't realize it, but from Kazui's point of view, they are just badmouthing his very good friends. Even then, he refused to speak as he also didn't know how he'll keep his promises if he was to tell them anything, bringing him a dilemma that his young mind shouldn't be thinking about in the first place.

Seeing the complicated expression he's making, Chad also chimed in, "Ichigo, let's not force him. For now, let's be grateful that we found out about this, and would allow us to prepare for what might happen."

"I also trust Kon's judgment." Uryu added, "While he likes to play around, he knows what's dangerous or not."

Renji, who just intended to bring Ichigo's group the detector that came from the Research Institute, scratched his head, "You guys are too lenient... Oh well, I could understand where you're coming from. So what should we do now?"

Inoue wanted to bring Kazui back to his room to comfort and bring him to sleep since it was already quite late when the radio-like device on the table that was the source of this gathering suddenly started alarming with blaring sounds.

"What is it now?" Ichigo immediately asked and took out his Substitute Shinigami Badge in case they had to fight.

Renji immediately took hold of the device while saying, "It's the alarm that goes off whenever there's a very large door and probably an Arrancar that's about to come out."

At the same time, the doorbell of the Kurosaki household rang.

"..." All became quiet as they wondered who was ringing the door at this hour, "I'll take it." Ichigo stood up.

Ichigo and Kon stared at each other for a few moments until the former let out a heavy sigh, "Haahhh... We can talk about this later." He then turned his attention back to their guest, "Sitri-san, is it? Please come inside."

"Excuse my intrusion~!"

After entering the house, Serafall didn't immediately greet everyone and instead stared at Kazui and began walking in circles around him. Ichigo and Inoue didn't mind this but this has been going on for at least three minutes so the latter voiced out her concern while serving her a cup of tea, "I-Is there something wrong?"

Serafall was immediately pulled out of her contemplation and reassured them, "Ah, there's nothing. The strange uncle already told me about the situation he's in and I trust his words. However, if I can see it with my own eyes, I would rather do the checks again."

She then sat down and accepted her drinks, "Thank you. And regarding your kid, please be reassured, as far as I could see, there's nothing dangerous attached to him."

But even if she said that, there's no way for them to trust her and Serafall also knew that so she first started explaining to them what she knows about Hell.

"First of all, the inhabitants of Hell are divided between the [Chained] and [Unchained]..."

Serafall explained to them the difference between the [Chained] and [Unchained] which Soul Society wasn't even aware of.

As she went through her explanation and Renji dutifully recorded everything, Serafall dropped them the bomb, "Everyone who enters Hell becomes [Chained] as punishment, however, there's an exception to this. Kazui, I don't really know how to properly describe it aside from saying that he became Hell's 'Envoy' by allowing him to send souls down there without any 'punishment', giving them a new lease on life."
