Chapter 1087 Reverse London
While waiting for the three sleeping beauties to wake up, Kisuke used his time to adjust his terminal to connect to the internet and was able to confirm the current date, '2015... It has been 12 years, huh? A lot of things have probably changed.'
Kisuke's fingers suddenly stopped, 'If it's been 12 years... Are they done with the Soul Funeral Festival? I know at least three who died. Old man Yamamoto, Unohana, and Ukitake.'
Resuming his work, he searched the internet to understand the general trends of the world. Unfortunately, he could only get news from the Human world and none from the Seireitei. However, he was sure that the world wasn't destroyed because they won the Great War, 'Such a shame. I wanted to see that moment since I prepared for them for almost a century.'
Even then, he knew that his work was just starting. Ever since Sona produced Phosphoplasm which supposedly comes from Hell after she lost control of her Hollow, Kisuke had been bothered that something worse than the Quincies was brewing in this world, 'And if I can make sure that this world is stable and safe, I can rip everyone off and have them work for me~.'
Serafall was quietly watching him from the side and when Kisuke suddenly sported a large grin, a shiver went down her spine, 'I don't know what he's planning... But rest in peace, whoever you are.'

An hour later, Claire was the first one to open her eyes but there was an intense headache that immediately attacked her, "Ughhh... Where?"
"Where does it hurt?"
Claire heard Kisuke's voice and parted her long gray hair while rubbing her head, "...Headache."
"Continue laying down. That should subside a few minutes later." Kisuke replied while checking in on her, 'Although they have enough firepower to decimate the Gods, that's not the same with their durability.'
But it's not like they couldn't be durable, it's just that they have to be aware and actively make themselves durable. In that case, they would have enough defense to resist even the strongest of attacks, 'They're still truly inexperienced. Sera-chan and I were able to defend our minds but they couldn't react to the change and instead lost their consciousness.'
A few more minutes later, the two other girls also woke up with an intense headache. But just as Kisuke had said, these headaches soon subsided and they were back in their normal state.
Tanis and Kunou saw that Claire was peeking through the window and they also got up to follow her. What they came to see is the eerily similar landscape to the London they knew, however, that's not what caught their attention but the people riding strangely shaped Dragons and frantically flying around.
"Woahhh..." Tanis excitedly followed these people with her eyes, "But something is strange?"
As Tanis noticed the weirdness about them, Kunou also came to a realization, "...They do not possess Ki and only a very tiny bit of Magic Power? How is that possible? Are they even alive?"
Claire, who had been watching since earlier, told them of her discovery, "Those Dragons don't have physical bodies." She turned to Kisuke and asked, "Am I correct, Nii-chan?"
Kisuke went beside them and also peeked out the window, "That's correct. Their bodies are made out of concentrated Spiritual Particles so technically, they are Souls. In this world, we collectively call those Souls that are strong enough to influence the physical world the Soul race."
Serafall suddenly came from behind him and asked, "Then can I safely assume that you're of this Soul race? That would explain a lot about your abilities."
Kisuke smiled at her and said, "I'll tell you more about myself later once we've settled down. Let's get out of this place and go to the Human World first."
"This is not the Human World?"
"This place is a mirror world called Reverse London created by the 'Crown' to contain and take care of those Dragons. To reach Japan, we have to leave this place first."
Without saying what he was planning to do, Kisuke turned towards the door and left. Sometime later, the group witnessed him exit the hotel and used Flash Step toward one of the people riding a Dragon and knocked them out before rummaging through their clothes. He did this a few more times before returning with a big smile on his face as if he did a good thing, "I got our ticket out of here~!"
But instead of welcoming him back, Serafall turned to the girls and said, "That's called a mugging and it's something a good person should never do. You girls should never imitate that."
Serafall was doing a very good job in her role of taking care of the girls.

After Serafall scolded Kisuke for approximately a quarter of an hour because he showed bad behavior in front of the teenage girls, they finally left the hotel and went to the nearest transport mechanism disguised as a phone booth. On their way, it became clear that the reason why these Witches and Wizards were busily flying around is that they were looking for the Shinigami who killed a Dark Dragon.
Nevertheless, Kisuke thought that they'd only make contact with them if they wanted to know more about the Dragons so they left Reverse London without doing anything else.
As soon as they got into the Human World, it was still the same scenery minus some greenery and large trees present on the other side. Still, it was a huge change for them because of the air they breathed in, "...The Magic Power is even more scarce to the point that it's actually hard to even feel it." Serafall muttered.
"The Ki in the atmosphere is very sparse," Kunou added.
Tanis curiously turned to her and asked, "Why is that?"
"I don't know about Magic Power since it exists even in the vast expanse of space so it's really weird how thin it is here." Kunou shook her head, "But for the Ki, it could be explained by the lack of practitioners. As you know, Ki is the power of life and body. The cycle that the Ki practitioners and nature is a positive feedback loop towards Ki itself. So without any practitioners, the Ki in nature stalls."
Kisuke then urged them to walk, "Let's go to the nearest international airport first, and let's talk on our way to Japan."
"Can't we just teleport?" Serafall asked. Although Magic Power was very thin, it's still possible to recover, albeit, a lot longer and they would need to actively do it.
"I don't want to use Teleportation Magic as much as possible. Like the problem with Magic Power, there are some complications with manipulating space in this world."
