Chapter 74 – The Human World

"Haruko, I'll enter first to try it out. If there are no issues, you can enter the Gigai after," Ailin said.

Although he had used Omnipotent Five Sights and not discovered any problems with the two Gigais, Ailin still wanted to play it safe and try it first before letting Haruko use it.

Kisuke Urahara's Zanpakuto Benihime was one of the first captain-class Zanpakutos that Ailin had created. From Benihime, Ailin had absorbed over 200 years of Kisuke Urahara's future battle experience.

Although this didn't make Ailin as smart as Kisuke Urahara, it allowed Ailin to understand Urahara's battle tactics to a certain degree.

Even if Urahara had left seals in the Gigai that could escape Aizen's notice, with over 200 years more experience than the current Urahara, Ailin was confident he could break them using Kido.

When Ailin's soul entered the Gigai on the left, the doll-like Gigai quickly took on Ailin's appearance.

The red floral windflower scarf, two hairpins drawing the stars, his clothes changed into an elegant black and wine-red interwoven changpao.

"Hmm..." Opening his eyes, Ailin climbed out of bed and moved his hands and feet around. "Compared to my Shinigami state, my strength, speed and defenses have weakened to the extreme, just ordinary human level. My reaction speed to external stimuli has also been affected... But my spiritual pressure hasn't decreased at all...

If I have to fight in this Gigai, then Kido is least affected while Zanjutsu, Shunpo and Hakuda are almost useless... At least there are no signs of tampering in the Gigai."

At this point, Ailin nodded at Haruko Kuchiki, "Alright, it's good. You can enter now, Haruko."

"Mm." Within three seconds of Haruko entering the Gigai, it had taken on Haruko Kuchiki's appearance.

"How do you feel?" Seeing Haruko open her eyes, Ailin hurriedly helped her up from the bed and asked in concern.

"Hmm..."

"Although I still feel a little weak, it's like after sitting down to rest when tired and my strength will slowly recover. I feel much more relaxed," Haruko described her feelings.

"Of course that's how it is." Kisuke Urahara squinted his eyes and smiled, "Miss Kuchiki, from now on you are a true 'human'. The weakness in your soul will continuously be nourished by your body until your soul fully recovers and you become a normal human."

"Mm, thank you Urahara," Ailin smiled at Urahara and said.

With Haruko's condition resolved for now, the knot in Ailin's heart finally relaxed. "I won't say anything more. If there's anything you need my help with in the future, just say it."

"Oh right, Urahara. Since we'll be living in the Human World from now on, no need to stand on ceremony. Can you lend me some of this era's circulating money..."

Kisuke Urahara: "..."

In the end, Urahara couldn't withstand Ailin's soft and hard pleading, and could only "lend" Ailin several rooms and the underground base here. Then he hurriedly left through the Senkaimon back to Soul Society. If he stayed any longer, he was worried he might lose his other assets in the Human World.

***

"Haruko, from now on, here is our home," Ailin said after Kisuke left. He spent some time cleaning up the few rooms before slowly walking outside with Haruko.

"Look Haruko, here, here and here. I'm planning to enclose them with walls and make a yard. Here, I plan to dig a small pond and build a pavilion over it... Here, I'll plant some cherry blossom trees..."

As they walked, Ailin described to Haruko his plans to transform these rooms into a beautiful home.

Only when he saw Haruko getting somewhat tired did Ailin bring her back to the room to rest on the bed.

Although Haruko now had a physical body that could slowly restore her soul, her soul had been suppressed by Ailin for five years after all. Her recovery wouldn't happen so quickly in a short time.

After Haruko fell asleep, Ailin left the bedroom and set up a defensive barrier Kido around the house called "Mirror Door" before starting to explore the vicinity.

Kisuke Urahara had chosen this base in the Human World at a remote and sparsely populated area, mainly for convenience in conducting experiments and research.

In Soul Society, Haruko was a Young Miss of one of the Five Great Noble Clans, the Kuchiki Clan, living in riches and eating the finest delicacies, with people waiting on her for every need.

Now in the Human World without the backing of the Kuchikis, Ailin had to work hard for their survival.

So he had to first exchange the assets left behind by Kisuke Urahara for food they could eat, then think of ways to earn money.

If he brought Haruko away from Soul Society only to let her suffer, Ailin would never forgive himself.

"Bakudo Number 55: Impeding Toe Pursuit Sparrow!"

As Ailin chanted, a ring of spiritual pressure emanated outwards from him. Very quickly, the circumstances within a few dozen li all around were reflected in Ailin's mind.

Perhaps because of the wars, the Human World's population density wasn't high during this period.

Within 20 km of Ailin, there were only two villages exceeding 100 people. All other scattered residents added together didn't exceed 2000.

"Sigh, endless wars, the economy and technology cannot develop. Which of those warlord leaders can compare their lives to the Kuchiki clan during this era?

I cannot manage other places, but to let Haruko live comfortably, I have to ensure the villagers nearby do not suffer from wars.

For now, I should make contact with these people first and see if they are interested to migrate here. After all, without using Kido now, I don't have the ability to protect such a vast area."

After making his plans, Ailin spent the time when Haruko was asleep visiting those villages and scattered residents, asking if they were willing to migrate over.

To build confidence in these people that he could protect them, Ailin also demonstrated some of his swordsmanship.

Although his constitution was greatly weakened by the body, Ailin's boundary as a "Swordmaster" wasn't something he could fake. His slashes carved a deep gorge dozens of meters into a small hill in the distance.

And so, upon witnessing Ailin's valor, those people quickly and respectfully said they would move to the place Ailin designated.

Of course, since it was nearing the autumn harvest, Ailin also allowed them to move after they finished harvesting their crops.

However, before that, almost every household had to send an able person over during non-farming seasons to the area Ailin specified. Under Ailin's guidance, they began building houses and developing the land for everyone's future residence.
