Chapter 6: Trump Card

Looks like everyone made it in one piece.

Are you done with your personal matter?

Of course. And as a token of appreciation for letting me do my own thing, I've brought you a gift.

One of the Overlord's soldiers has decided to side with us.

............

If Yoruichi trusts you, then I shall trust you too.

There are attacks being launched by the fortress itself. Simply defending against enemies that come to us is not enough.

We would like to know of a way to get into that fortress.

It seems the only way to travel in and out of there is by using a magical device.

I tried to test it out with the one Soi Fon had, but we were interrupted and the device was destroyed.

Interrupted by who? Did you run into another enemy ambush?

The man was formerly an assassin of another country.

Soi Fon and I tried to chase him down, but he most likely disappeared back into the fortress. We couldn't catch up to him.

So we've gained an ally, but the situation hasn't changed one bit.

By the way, where's the guy who's responsible for dragging me out to the front lines?

If you're talking about Kisuke, he's taken off. He said he found a way to resolve all of this.

Huh?!

Hey there, you two. Long time no see!

What the hell are you doing in front of our school?!

Wait. Hold on, Ichigo. Judging by his looks...

...I have a feeling this isn't the Kisuke we know.

Fine perception, Uryu. Thanks again for your help back in the Cacao Society.

What...the hell? You mean you came from the other world to see us?!

That's right! I was told by myself in this world that I would likely be able to find you two here.

I must say, it was a strange experience meeting myself like that.

You actually met him?! If that were the case, you should've just had us go to Urahara's Shop rather than suddenly showing up like this.

That's about to happen anyway because we're all going there together right now.

What? Why?!

You see, I have a favor I must ask of you.

It turns out you're the only one who can save Cacao Society from its imminent collapse.

I apologize for bringing you trouble like this, but would you mind coming with me to our world again?

Whaaat?!
