(A/N: Here we are chapter 3 and as I was writing this chapter I've been watching season 2 of Highschool DxD just to prepare for season 2 for this fic and so far it's ok and probably have some material to work with especially with Kiba's revenge sub-plot and who knows I might get the soul society involved but for now I just need to finish watching it before I do anything big. Hope you like this chapter and please do leave a review each one really helps. :) Now then let's get this episode started.)
Ichigo, Rias and Akeno waits patiently as Kisuke got up and left the room momentarily as he heads towards the back of the shop in the large storage room as they can hear him moving around some heavy stuff.
"Need some help?!" Ichigo called out, poking his head out of the room and looking outside to the end of the hallway where the storage room is.
"No, I got it!" Kisuke answers as he comes back from the storage room holding a large rectangular black box. The box is completely black and rectangular and the most notable feature is the five locks with chains keeping it shut tight.
"Here it is, the sure-fire way of regaining your powers back" Kisuke says, acting like a child on christmas morning after setting it down on the table.
"I take it that it's inside the box. You have the keys, right?" Ichigo asks, looking at Kisuke with a skeptic look in his eyes.
"Why of course Ichigo, don't be silly!" Kisuke then pulls out a hoop of keys from under his coat. As he picks out the keys, Kisuke begins to unlock each lock one by one and placing them on the table along with the chains.
"Before I open it, I want to ask… are you sure you want to do this, Ichigo?"
"Yeah, if it means helping Rias."
"Really, really sure?"
"Just open the damn box already!"
"Fine, fine I'm opening it!" Kisuke opens the box and it began to glow brightly. A bluish light from inside filled the room, catching everyone in the room's attention as they anticipate what powerful creation Urahara just unleashed. As Kisuke places his hand into the box and then pulls it out.
Out of the black box Kisuke pulls out. "Ta-ta-da-da-rah! A spiritual sword!" Once he pulls it all the way out and Ichigo, Rias, Akeno got a better look at it, the sword appeared as a regular almost cheaply-made katana and it looked like it had seen better days with the edge being chipped in a few places.
"Ok that's it I'm out! Rias give me that knight piece! Looks like being a devil sounds a lot better than being a sucker!"
"Wait, wait, wait! Ichigo, this is an actual spirit sword. Just that it needs the main component."
"And that would be?"
"Spirit energy, or to be more precise, reiatsu aka spirit pressure. Sure it doesn't look all that impressive now but it is the tool you're going to need if you want your powers back" says Kisuke.
Noticing the serious tone in Urahara's voice for once, Ichigo listens to him with Rias and Akeno doing the same.
"Alright, Kisuke... but one question. Where are you going to get spirit energy? I know that in the Soul Society it's against their laws for them to transfer their powers to a non-soul reaper; that's what got Rukia in trouble in the first place. Are you planning on asking the Visoreds?"
"Visoreds?" Rias asked with a puzzled expression.
"They're soul reapers with hollow powers, Ms. Gremory; but sadly I lost touch with them a while ago."
"Why's that?"
"Don't know… probably out on vacation or something. For now, let me worry about that, Ichigo. As you may have guessed, I have many resources and ways to make things work to tailor my needs. I'm sure I can have this ready for you in a few days" Kisuke explained. "In the meantime I want you to start training your body again so when the time comes it can take the sword's spiritual pressure and make it it's own."
"And how am I supposed to train exactly?"
"Oh nothing special just increase your stamina a bit and do some push-ups and you should be ready to go."
Ichigo nods to what Kisuke says, agreeing with his instructions.
"But before that I need to test something out real quick. Hold still, Ichigo." Kisuke then pulls out a strange metal detector-like device, passing and waving it all over Ichigo's body.
"What are you doing?"
"Just trust me."
"Riiiight...like trusting a snake not to bite me!" Ichigo's comment got Rias and Akeno to snicker a little.
"Exactly!" after a few more scans the device sounds off. -Beep, beep, beep.-
"Ah here we go!" Kisuke checks the device. "Hmmm..."
"Well...what is it?" Ichigo wondering what's going through the man's head.
"Hmm….well this is very interesting" Kisuke says with a interesting grin. "Ichigo... do you still have your combat pass?"
"Yeah I do, why?"
"I kinda need it so I can get this thing started."
"Uh...ok." Ichigo then goes to his book bag and pulls out his old combat pass. He kept it with him even after he lost his powers, but for him he likes to keep it close as if it was a good luck charm. He gives the pass to Urahara as he gives a check with the detector device and it also sounds off.
"Hmmm….just as I thought."
"Eh?"
"Don't worry about it now, Ichigo. Just come back in a few days and we can work from there." Kisuke then puts the sword back into the box but didn't lock it as he will be busy tonight. As he gets up, Kisuke puts the combat pass away in his coat.
Even when he was told to not to worry about it, Ichigo remains skeptical of Urahara; then again the man was never wrong before with a few exceptions in the past but at least for now all Ichigo could do is give 'hat and clogs' a chance.
"Alright Hat and Clogs, I'll come back in a few days and I'll do the stamina thing while I wait." Ichigo then gets up and gathers his book bag, looking over to Rias.
"Well Rias I guess you'll have to wait for a little bit, sorry."
"It's alright, I can wait a few days. Heck I might use this to look around Karakura. This place seems rather nice."
"Yeah if you don't mind the crazy stuff that happens here."
"Oh I wouldn't worry about that considering what I am." Rias then gives a wink and sticking out her tongue to Ichigo as she sprouts her devil wings.
"Yeah, well see ya tomorrow. Akeno, it's been nice meeting you."
"Oh Ichigo the pleasure is all mine." Akeno said giving Ichigo her trademark smile as she waves her hand.
"Right, later." Ichigo then leaves the shop and begins to walk back home while expecting his father to surprise attack him when he gets back.
Once he's gone and Urahara begins his work on the spirit sword, Akeno and Rias are all alone in the room as the rest of the inhabitants of Urahara shop are not back yet. Tessai was still doing deliveries and restock, Ururu is tutoring Jinta on some mathematics and Yoruichi is roaming around Karakura in her black cat form.
"Well that was interesting. So how did you two meet anyway?" Akeno looks at her best friend and her King.
"Oh it's nothing really all that special. I was heading to his school to find him but instead he found me and he actually helped me out of a situation with a couple of thugs wanting to have their "fun" with me. If he wasn't there I probably would've just erased their thoughts and kept on walking."
"My! Isn't that just romantic, but can he really help with Riser? It's not that I don't think he could pull it off but it's not like we've seen him in action."
"True, though I'm hoping that will change in a few days."
"What about Issei?"
Rias remains silent for a bit as she thinks before she gives her answer. It's not like she gave up on Issei but he's still not there yet for what's to come.
"I feel that he's not there yet and I feel that Ichigo has more than what he lets on. There's just something about him that just grabs my attention."
"Is it the serious look in his eyes?" Akeno teasing Rias.
"Maybe, but I take it that you didn't come here by yourself, am I right?"
"No actually, and now that you reminded me I should let the others know that I found you and that you're ok." Akeno then pulls out her phone and begins to call Kiba.
-Karakura Park-
Kiba, Issei and Koneko reach Asia at the park while the blonde remained with Uryu, Orihime and Chad.
"Hey guys! I think we might have found Rias."
"I see you made some new friends." says Kiba.
"Yup!" Asia replied cheerfully.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Kiba Yuuto and this is….ah."
Issei was just standing there when he saw Orihime and his perverted mind went from zero to a hundred in an instant as his mind is overrunned with perverted thoughts; how Orihime's bust is almost the same size as Rias and Akeno and how he would motorboat her 'til the end of time. As he thinks these thoughts, his perverted face appeared, beginning to drool a little until Koneko stomps on his foot snapping him out of it.
"OUCH!"
"Quit staring, super perv." Koneko said resolutely.
As he jumps up and down while holding his hurt foot, Issei noticed he was drooling and once his foot stops hurting he quickly wipes off the drool and stood up straight, introducing himself while giving the three Karakura teens a bow.
"My name is Issei Hyoudou, it's very nice to meet you guys."
"Koneko Toujou."
"Good to meet you guys" says Orihime as she introduces herself then Chad and lastly Uryu.
"So do you have any idea on where she'll be, Mr. Uryu?" Kiba asked, being his polite self.
"Please just Uryu, and I do have an idea bu-"
As Uryu was about to say his idea on where Rias would be, Kiba's phone begins to ring. The blonde picks up the phone and sees the caller ID.
"Oh it's Akeno." Kiba then answers the call. "Yes?...yeah everyone is with me….yes Issei is not in any trouble….yet."
"Hey!"
"Oh you found Rias?" When Kiba said that it got everyone's attention especially Issei.
"Right, right so you guys are in a Urahara shop?"
"Wait we know that place!" Orihime exclaims
"Really?" Koneko looks at the older girl.
"Yeah! We can show you guys the way."
"That would be wonderful. Don't worry Akeno we'll be there quickly. Alright then, lead the way" Kiba says.
Just as they were about to head off to Urahara shop, they stopped in their tracks when they heard a loud inhuman shriek from above. Once they looked up they see the sky starting to crack and then like a mouth the crack begins to open and like bats out of hell a swarm of hollows begins to pour out of the garganta.
"Wha-what the heck are those?!" Issei shocke of what he's looking at.
"Hollows" Uryu answers as he prepares his Heilig Bogen and begins to fire his arrows at the hollows, but some of them managed to dodge his attack.
"Get back! This is going to get messy." Uryu warns the four newcomers until Kiba walks right next to him and Koneko did the same.
"I wouldn't worry about us, we might not know how to fight these things but I take it they have a weakness to exploit." Kiba then activates his sacred gear, Sword Birth and summons a couple of swords.
Uryu looks at Kiba when he summoned the two swords but remains calm since it takes a lot more than that to surprise him. "Just aim at their faces that's their weak spot."
"Roger that." Kiba then charges ahead with Koneko close behind him having heard what Uryu said about the hollows weakness.
Kiba then comes face to face with a cat-like hollow but it was fairly weak as Kiba quickly destroys it with a few sword slices.
Koneko then follows up by jumping on the top of the swings and punches a bird-faced hollow, shattering its mask and destroying it instantly.
"Not so tough!" Suddenly a humanoid-shaped hollow grabs Koneko, but the cat-like girl manages to break free and, seeing an opening, Chad goes for the kill.
"El Directo!" Chad hits the hollow right on the abdomen knocking it down and while still in the air Koneko using gravity for momentum smashes the hollow's mask with one powerful punch destroying the creature as she lands next to Chad.
"Thanks for the assist."
"Don't mention it."
Meanwhile, Kiba saw a hollow that looked like a cross between a praying mantis and a scorpion while having the claws of both creatures and a tail armed with a long and deadly looking stinger. Kiba kept reflecting the hollow's claws and pincers with his twin sword but the blonde swordsman was watching the hollow's every move and eventually after much scanning and dodging attacks he sees an opening. As the hollow attacks this time using its tail stinger Kiba jumps up and replaces his two swords with a long sword and with a few swipes he cuts the tail in three pieces causing the hollow to screech.
Taking advantage of the hollow's distracted state, Kiba comes right towards one of its pincers and jumps on it, using it as a foothold and with one powerful slash Kiba decapitates the hollow, killing it instantly.
"Impressive!" Kiba looks over to see Uryu having taken down another hollow with his Heilig Bogen. "Is that your power?"
"Sort of... but I still have more left in me." On his right, a hollow tries to ambush Kiba but he quickly counters the hollow by stabbing it right in the facemask destroying it. On his left, Uryu notices a bulky and large hollow was about to smash him only for the quincy to quickly dodge and fire a few arrows at its torso as well as another right between its eyes, destroying the creature.
As all of this was going on, Issei already has his boosted gear on and during all that time he was boosting up, reaching his 5th boost.
"BOOST!"
"Alright now I'm ready! Can't let everybody show me up! Come on and get some!" exclaimed Issei as a goblin looking hollow heard him and went straight for him.
"Alright you ugly bastard have some of this! Dragon Shot!" Issei fires a beam of energy concentrated by his magical power and hits the hollow even though the hollow was heavily damaged it keeps charging towards Issei.
"Oh crap!" Before the hollow could hit Issei, the young man was surrounded by an orange pyramidal shield.
"Shiten Kōshun, I reject!" Using the hollow's strength against it Orihime fires back its attack and destroys the hollow completely.
"Wow...that was cool, thanks" Issei proclaimed.
"Your welcome."
"Wow that was amazing, how did you pull that off?" Asia asked, looking at Orihime being very impressed with the older teen.
"Oh that was just a lot of practice I did in the last several months, nothing special."
"Can you teach me that?"
"Hmmm I don't know... it's mostly a technique I can only do but we'll think of something."
"Yay I can't wait!"
Issei keeps boosting until he couldn't no more but he reached the point where it was just enough as a group of lesser hollows were charging right at him but this time Issei was ready.
"Take this DRAGON SHOT!" Unleashing a more powerful beam than before Issei fires it and destroys the group of weaker hollows with a single shot.
"OH YEAH! Who's awesome? Who's awesome?" Issei celebrates his victory with a little dance but suddenly from above a dragonic looking hollow was about to take a bite out of Issei until a large barrage of quincy hits the dragonic hollow destroying it. Issei needles to say almost wets himself.
"Hey, don't get too confident." says Uryu as everyone was finishing off of what's left of the hollow swarm.
Killing the last hollow with his arrow Uryu ends the battle as the garganta the portal to hueco mundo closes.
"So is it over?" Issei asks
"Yes for now." Uryu said as he puts away his Heilig Bogen. "It's pretty rare for a bunch of hollows to come out at once like that."
"Hmm...maybe something got their attention."
"Probably...but at least they're taken care of."
"Alright then let's go to this Urahara shop place and find Rias."
"Right then, just follow me I'll show you the way."
-In front of Urahara Shop-
"Ahhh….is this really the place?" Issei asked, looking at the shack in front of them.
"Yup! This is Mr. Urahara's shop" says Orihime.
"It looks like an old rundown warehouse to me" Koneko said in her monotone voice.
"Trust me, this is the place." Uryu then approaches the slide door until someone opens it from the inside, it was Rias.
"Hi everyone! Oh and I see you met my new friends" says Rias as she waves at Orihime, Chad and Uryu.
"Rias! You're ok!" Issei, being overjoyed to see his lovely president in one piece, runs over and was about to give Rias a big hug until Koneko intervened by jumping upward and stomps Issei on his back, making him crash on the ground.
"That must hurt."
"Pervo."
"Now, now Koneko don't be stingy. I'm willing to give everyone a hug, especially since I left so suddenly. You all must miss me."
"I….do….Rias" Issei uttered, remaining face down on the ground until Koneko removed her foot, allowing him to get back on his feet.
"So president, what brought you all the way here?" Kiba asks as he walks towards Rias.
Before she would answer, Rias takes a deep breath knowing now is the time to tell the rest of her peerage what's been going on recently.
"Well guys it's bit of a long story."
-In Urahara's Storage Closet-
In the backroom of Kisuke's storage space, a box is constantly shaking and moving around coming closer and closer to the edge of the shelf and once it reached over said shelf, the box tips over and falls to the floor, breaking it open.
"AH! Finally I'm out of that stupid storage box!" Coming out of the box was a cheap looking small lion plush doll with a mod soul inside of it. The mod lion plush doll was none other than Kon, having been Kisuke's guinea pig for his mad experiments for the last 2 years. Last thing he remembers before getting to be Kisuke's lab rat was after "saving" Karakura Town as the masked hero Karakura-Raizer and his team of Ichigo's classmates and that Don Kanonji guy.
"Now it's time to get the hell out of this mad house!" Kon begins to silently move from one box to another hiding behind them and keeping himself hidden from any potential surveillance that might be inside the storage room.
Before he makes his next move, Kon looks around to make sure he was in the clear. So far so good as the plush doll makes a dash through the main hallway practically passing Kisuke's room but the man was too busy working on his project to notice Kon leaving. The plush doll kept running and running as far as his little legs would carry him and as he was about to head towards the front entrance he stops when he sees Akeno and Rias. At first, he was mesmerized by their beauty but he quickly snaps out of it realizing that he's wasting time. He looks around and spots an open window. Knowing that it's either make or break time, Kon dashes over to the window and easily climbs up thanks to a table being next to it.
"Almost there, just a bit more" Kon whispered as climbs to the opening of the window.
As he reaches the edge of the window and makes the jump, Kon lands neatly on his feet and without hesitation makes a break for it back to Ichigo's place.
"FREEDOM!" Kon shouted as the stuffed mod soul runs back to the Kurosaki. Sadly, his freedom cry did not go unnoticed as Koneko heard Kon. She looks at him but remains where she was since Rias was still talking.
"Ah...finally I'm out of that nut job place, now to head back to Ichigo's place and hopefully Rukia will be waiting for me, ready to snuggle me nice and tight!" As he continues his way back to Ichigo's, the mod plush doll can't help but fantasize about being hugged by Rukia. Soon he would realize that in the last two years a lot has changed.
-Back at Urahara Shop with one long story later-
"And that's about it and what's been going on up till now" Rias finished, resting against the wall of the shop.
"Wait, so let me get this straight. You're being forced to marry to some jerk that you don't even like" said Issei as he gets angry that some a-hole is getting tieing-the-knot with Rias.
"Yes."
"So, in your desire to be alone, you accidently ended up in Karakura Town and were almost eaten by a powerful hollow." says Kiba.
"Correct."
"But you got saved by this Urahara person and he told you about this Ichigo guy who could help you out" Koneko said, having heard everything Rias said but still thinking of that little plush doll that ran off.
"Once again, yes."
"But President, I do have a question."
"Ask away Kiba."
"How can this Ichigo help exactly? I mean, you still have us."
"That's true but Riser is a high ranking devil, and you guys are not ready for him. Besides, I have a plan that can get me out of this whole arranged marriage nonsense but I'm going to need not just you guys but also Ichigo. Trust me when I say he has what it takes, even though as of right now, he doesn't have his powers."
"I've been meaning to say something that's been on my mind for a while." This time it was Uryu that begins to speak with Rias while Orihime and Chad remain silent.
"Yes, Uryu?"
"You're right about Ichigo not having his soul reaper powers, and it's good to know there is a way to restore it back… but with all of that said, in the last few weeks I began to sense something in him. Something...spiritual." When Uryu said that, it quickly got the attention of Rias, her peerage and especially Orihime and Chad.
"Do you mean his spiritual power is returning?" Rias looking at Uryu very sternly.
"Possibly, but I can't say for sure. In the last few weeks, I could feel his spiritual force but very little... like it's growing back, but not even close to the same amount he had before he lost them."
"You're correct, Mr. Ishida." Everybody looks back to see Kisuke walking out having been taking a small break from his restoration project for Ichigo having heard the commotion outside his shop.
"Oh I see some more new faces. Hello, Kisuke Urahara at your service."
Rias's peerage quickly introduce themselves to Kisuke. "Uh hey thanks for saving Rias." says Issei.
"Not a problem! So you're the great Issei I've heard so much about. Your president told me a lot about you."
"Really?!"
"Why yes, she told me that you're quite the perverted teen and that you want to become the harem king" says Kisuke in his usual cheerful demeanor.
"Uh...yeah...that's me….uh what are you doing?" Issei then notices Urahara examining his left arm.
"Oh sorry, force of habit. Rias also told me about your unique power. Possessing a dragon is rather impressive."
"Y-yeah...you're not going to experiment on me are you?"
"Oh I wouldn't worry too much, but back to the topic at hand."
"Like Mr. Ishida said, Ichigo's spiritual power is returning but is still very weak and miniscule at the present time, but in a few days that will likely change" Kisuke explained with a small smirk.
"Now I take it you guys need a place to crash for the night." Once Kisuke mentions it, everyone starts noticing that it's getting dark; with so much fighting, meeting new friends and talking who can blame them when time can fly so fast.
"I would offer, but right now I kinda need the extra rooms for a few important things, but I can at least lend one to one of you."
"Oh...I see only one, so who's going to take it?" Asia becoming worried that only one might get the room while the rest might have to spend the night sleeping in a park bench.
"You can spend the night in my place if you want." Asia looks over to Orihime as the bright orange-haired teen offers her place for Rias's peerage to rest and recuperate.
"You mean that?" Asia asks with a hopeful look in her eyes.
"Of course, if you guys are Rias's friends then you are mine too."
"Wow, thank you so much! I mean, are you sure about this? Surely you need to talk with your parents about this."
"Oh don't worry I live by myself in the apartment, but I'm sure there's plenty of room for you guys. Plus I do have a few extra futons."
"I see well thank you again, you're too generous." says Akeno as she and Koneko walk over to Orihime.
"No problem at all!"
"I think you girls can go with Orihime, I'll take up the last room." Kiba begins to walk towards the shop.
"Alright then, let's go!" says Orihime as Asia, Koneko and Akeno follow her while Chad went back to his place as well as Uryu.
Now the only one without a place to stay was Issei but he had other things on his mind, most of it is perverted as usual. "Sweet sexy boobie heaven here I come."
"Hold it there, Mr. Hyoudou." Before Issei could join Orihime's offer, he was stopped by Urahara's cane catching his right foot.
"Hey! What gives?! I'm gonna go to boobie heaven, plus there's no room for me in your shop anyway."
"Well Issei... I'm heading to another place to spend the night" says Rias with a sly look on her face.
"Wait, what?"
"Don't worry about a thing, you can have my room. Now then I'll see you tomorrow Issei, bye bye." Rias says her farewells before teleporting away.
"Rias! Wait!"
"Actually, I'm going to need you for something Issei" Kisuke said.
"For what exactly?"
"I want to take a better look at your left arm, something tells me there's more to your sacred gear than meets the eye."
"B-but my boobie heaven... and Rias" Issei gets back on his feet and was about to join Orihime's group once again only for Kisuke to bind him with a quick kido spell.
"Sorry but we all must make sacrifices for the greater good of science."
"W-wait… what about Ichigo's restoration thingy?" Issei comically tries to break free but thanks to Kisuke's quick thinking and his binding kido, his escape is very unlikely.
"Oh I wouldn't worry yourself over that, not to mention I'm great at multi-tasking" Kisuke says in a sing song voice.
-Kurosaki Household-
Once Ichigo got back home from Urahara's shop he had another ambush attack from Isshin only for Ichigo to simply move out of the way and give his father an uppercut for his trouble. Feeling too tired thanks to school and the whole fiasco with Rias, not to mention the possibility of regaining his powers, Ichigo can't help but feel exhausted and decides to take a nap on the couch.
Eventually, the smell of Yuzu's cooking woke Ichigo. Realizing what time it was, he looks at the clock and it was already 7pm. He quickly got to his feet and went straight towards his room and when he opens the door, the boy couldn't believe what he was looking at.
"Oh, good evening Ichigo." Rias greeted him, sitting in his chair while reading one of his mangas from his small collection and wearing one of his t-shirts.
"Rias… what are you doing in my house? Better yet, why are you in my room?"
"Well I did say I needed a place to crash" Rias replies and gives Ichigo a little wink.
"But why here? You could have gone with Orihi-"
"Ichigo dinner is ready!" shouts Yuzu as she walks towards his room and to her shock sees both Ichigo and a girl she's never seen before wearing her brother's shirt.
"Ah…."
"Hi I'm Rias! You must be Ichigo's sister."
"Ah… yes… I am… I'll just leave you two alone now!" Blushing brightly like a cherry, Yuzu quickly leaves the room.
"Wait Yuzu, it's not what it looks like!" By this point, Yuzu already went back downstairs and apparently told their zany father that there's a girl in Ichigo's room and he could be heard praising from God to Buddha that his son has finally becoming a true man.
"Oh...great." Ichigo slaps his hand against his face knowing that tonight his father will never live it down. While Rias just sits on his chair watching the whole thing, she does nothing but let out a small giggle. "He's one interesting strawberry."
To be continued!
(A/N: And with that this episode comes to a close and soon we'll get to see the main bad guy of this season go face to face with our main orange head hero. Also I've been contemplating about making IchigoXRias and IsseiXAsia a thing. I think it would make things interesting, granted it won't be a as blunt as: (Ichigo: Oh Rias I can't explain it but I'm in love with you for some reason!? Rias: Oh wow I totally feel the same way let's get married!) No not like that best way I would do this is get them to spend time with each other and getting to know each other. Plus I know Rias knew of Ichigo thanks to Urahara but for now I'll have them have some quality time. Plus I always though IsseiXAsia would be a better couple especially how much did for her in the first season and when he defended her from Xenovia. But for now we will see how things play out for our heroes. Also I'd like to thank the wii game Bleach Shattered Blade soundtrack since it helped me make this chapter especially the hollow swarm battle. Last thing, let me know what you guys think of the whole couple thing if you're in to it or not. Well hope you guys enjoyed the chapter please do leave a review they really help a lot knowing that you guys really like this story and with all of that said have a good night and til next time :)...oh and Kon is back and I do have some plans for him it's all in the matter if they could be fitted in the story or at least have his adventures as omakes. But for now we'll see what else could happen.) ;)
