Kisuke and Yoruichi appear inside the room where the mock elevator is located. They saw Koneko and Aika still waiting for them.
"Pay." "Kisuke-kun." Koneko and Aika approached the two of them, but doubt could be felt from their movements.
'They calmed down and started thinking about a lot of things huh,' Kisuke and Yoruichi thought simultaneously.
"Let's go back home now. I'll talk there." Kisuke ignored their doubts and fears and walked towards the exit along with Yoruichi.
Koneko and Aika looked at each other and hurriedly followed after them. Outside it was already afternoon and once they reached Urahara's house, Kisuke told the two of them to sit on the sofa while Yoruichi went straight to the kitchen to prepare drinks and snacks.
Kisuke also sat on the sofa but did not speak and just stared at the two of them looking at the ground, although they would peek from time to time.
Yoruichi comes with a cup of tea and enough snacks for them, but he doubts that the two girls will have the mood to sip the newly made tea. He sat down beside Kisuke and remained silent.
Kisuke sipped his cup of tea and let out a long sigh, "Where should I start?"
Aika and Koneko looked up, waiting for him to speak.
"Are you afraid of my previous form?" Kisuke started with a question. They looked at each other and hesitantly, nodded.
"Well, that's normal and it should be. Because in the future, if you continue your training under us, you might experience something similar." Kisuke narrowed his eyes and told them in a very serious tone.
"Can't you do something so we don't experience it?" Aika gently raised her voice.
"We might be able to do something so you don't have to experience it."
"Then ..." The two looked up with hope in their eyes. When they remembered how Kisuke went berserk earlier, they did not want to experience it themselves. They think that if something goes wrong, they will not be able to get out of the madness.
"But it takes some time for you to become stronger. Months, years, or even decades if we do it slowly."
The two remained silent after hearing this, especially Koneko because she wanted to become stronger as soon as possible so that she could face her older sister.
As for Aika, she pondered whether she wanted to become stronger quickly, 'Is it worth the risk?' He kept asking himself but was unable to find the right answer.
"Let me explain first why we should experience it before you make a decision.
" I practice in all aspects of a particular power system. That is, I am training on the positive and negative sides of that system. The advantage is, I will have access to the strengths of both sides that make me stronger than those who only practice the flaws are, like, the lack thereof, it creates a conflict within me and if I can't hold it or hold it back, I will fall into madness as you saw before and there is a chance that I will not wake up forever and will just try to destroy everything around me. That's what happens if I fail to control my powers or upset the balance between the two sides."
Kisuke saw them putting on a difficult face and chuckled.
"No, I just appreciate your cute face."
"Why are you still indifferent, senpai? You almost killed Yoruichi there." Koneko continued to glare at Kisuke more intensely.
"Yoruichi was indeed in danger back then, but he was able to survive that." Kisuke's smile was not lost on his words.
To be honest, Yoruichi has many ways to escape but all of them will ignore the safety of Aika and Koneko that he would do if Kisuke did not wake up in time. He can escape using his ring and leave the two alone with Hollowfied Kisuke who will spell their destruction if they cannot activate their pendant in time. He could also stab Cero and the damage would be spread and not concentrated. He would only be injured but the two spectators would die.
"Really! These two idiots don't believe that I'll be okay! You're just making it harder for me! In our lesson, I will properly instill in your thick head how important a quick decision is! Especially you! Koneko! What you did before was just a futile effort!" Yoruichi stood up and suddenly reprimanded the two.
"But-" "No buts!" Koneko wants to say something but is interrupted by Yoruichi.
"You're still too weak to worry about me!"
"... I'm sorry." Seeing the angry expression on Yoruichi's face, Koneko's head bowed and apologized.
"Enough, Yoruichi. He's still a kid and you know that he's strangely affectionate with this that he considers a comrade. We can't impose our militaristic views on her and especially on Aika, who was just a normal person until yesterday." Kisuke spoke up and patted Koneko to comfort her.
"Huu... You're correct. Excuse me. I thought of him as my student so I forgot for a moment that he was not from the same organization as me. I just remembered how I would scold Sui Feng when he did something wrong." Yoruichi let out a long sigh to calm down and also apologized to Koneko.
"Please don't apologize. It's really my fault and I also dragged Aika-senpai into danger by not listening to you. Although I think you have a way to survive, I can't leave after seeing you and Kisuke-senpai like that."
Seeing that he knew his mistake and admitted his mistake, Yoruichi smiled slightly and pushed Kisuke's hand to pat him himself, "It's okay. I know your personality and know how you're going to act, but I'm forcing my ideals on you too much. . But we have to fix that attitude in the future." Yoruichi gently comforted Koneko but her last sentence had a hint of decisiveness.
Koneko had a complicated expression when she heard the last thing she said. Yoruichi guessed what he was thinking and continued speaking, "I'm not telling you to ignore your comrade if you ever encounter such a situation again, I'll teach you how to plan and decide properly without your emotions interfering with your logic. . That way, you will also have a greater chance of changing your situation."
Koneko finally understood it and nodded. A trace of determination appeared in his eyes and he faced Kisuke, "Senpai, I want to become stronger faster." 'If I was strong enough, I would have a smaller chance of encountering such a situation.' Koneko thought as she expressed her decision to Kisuke.
"Back to the main topic, finally?" Kisuke had already finished his cup of tea before they even finished speaking.
"It looks like Koneko won't change her mind again. How about you, Aika-chan" Kisuke looked at Koneko for a bit and assumed that, so he turned his head towards Aika, who was still in deep contemplation.
"Let me hear what you're gonna say first." She said.
"certain."
