This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

It took Kisuke a whole day just to prevent himself from self-destructing while doing his everyday activities. However, he estimated that it may take more or less a month to properly fight. Fortunately, even if he can't fight, that's only physically and studying techniques like Magic and Kidou would be a lot easier for him.

"How is it, Kuroka?" Yoruichi asked her cat friend who had been checking the state of the surrounding space.

"We've gone far enough away from the epicenter so the surrounding space has already stabilized. I can do my calculations properly now, nyaa. Shall we go?" Kuroka looked towards Kisuke who was currently laying on the ground while he waited for his wounds to completely heal.

"Yep. We should go," Kisuke stood up and a purple magic circle appeared below them before the three of them disappeared, reappearing in their rented house.

"I wanted you to make another base around here, but it looks like it won't be possible for a short while," Yoruichi sighed thinking that they'd have to put up with more 'guests' that won't easily leave them alone.

"That you don't have to worry about. Even if I can't do much with my abilities technically sealed, I can still make magic items to repel some pests. I just need some materials to start with."

Yoruichi stared at Kisuke before saying, "Right... I almost forgot... You aren't just a pervert and a Candy Shop owner."

"Hey! I'm also a Mercenary now! And a Magic Engineer."

"Please don't forget that you're also an Adventurer, a part-time Devil, a terrorist, and Funeral Director, Mortician or something, nyaa..." Since Kuroka knew that his sword called Benihime purifies souls and Kisuke's extensive expertise with souls, she just assumed he most likely dealt with dead souls before.

Yoruichi and Kisuke only smiled at her remark. Both of them planned to tell everyone close to them about their 'past life', but not anytime soon. Either way, that fact won't really change anything as it's not really important in their current relationships and would never be a factor of it.

Stretching his limbs once again, Kisuke made sure that he wouldn't randomly explode again and said, "Alright~! Let's go shopping! Let's make those pest-repellant items. Any requests?"

"I want something explosive, nyaa!" Kuroka first requested.

"I want something that would make someone kiss the floor," Yoruichi added.

As they moved the streets of Pandemonium, many looked their way but none of them really bothered them. What's surprising though was they came across some members of the Aruna Familia and nothing happened.

Yoruichi and Kuroka knew how they usually act so they were shocked when all of them ran away from them, "This is really strange..," muttered Yoruichi.

"What is?"

"Even if they are the weak members of that Familia, they would still provoke their enemies for their pride, nyaa. So it's indeed very strange they would just run away from us without doing anything."

Yoruichi then just shrugged her shoulders and continued walking, "Well, we don't really have to do anything with them. If we deal with small problems similar to that every time, there would be no end to it. Keeping a bit of an eye on them should be more than enough. And if something were to happen, it doesn't have to be us to solve it... Though it would be different if a friend were to get involved."

Kisuke looked around to see where the materials he needed, "A bit of assistance is enough for that."

As they went through the market, the three both had a lot of monster materials and ores that are usually used for equipment crafting and their last stop was the area where Magic Stones are being traded.

Unlike Orario where Magic Stones were being strictly regulated by the Guild, Magic stones are being traded like normal monster materials as it's also used for Magic Sword manufacturing and powering of daily household items like lights.

Of course, deep-level Magic Stones are not being publicly traded as it was always at the hands of big and strong Familias and would only exchange hands between them. Since they have no use for it, Yoruichi and Kuroka always sold the Magic Stones they got to the Astarte Familia, Poseidon Familia, and the Alliance. As such, they almost didn't have anything Kisuke could use.

Separating from Kuroka and Yoruichi who went to get food, Kisuke saw something he could use pointed to a certain Magic Stone, "Boss, give me that."

But at the same time, another voice rang out, also pointing towards the Magic Stone he wanted, "I'll take that Treant Magic Stone!"

Kisuke looked beside him and saw a relatively small Amazoness that wears a mage attire. This is actually the first time he saw an Amazoness not wear those ridiculous articles of clothing as if they are competing who can show the most skin, "Hey, kid. What are you going to do with this Magic Stone?"

"Who are you calling a kid!? I'm already 19!" The Amazoness retorted.

"Hey, old kid. What are you going to do with this Magic Stone," Kisuke repeated his words, albeit a little bit different from the first one.

The small Amazoness stomped his foot in anger, "I said I'm not a kid! And what the hell is an old kid anyway!? It doesn't make sense!" However, the Amazoness suddenly saw something in Kisuke's hand. It was the Magic Stone she wanted and Kisuke already tossed a bag of coins towards the stall keeper, "Y-you...!" The Amazoness pointed at him with an unbelieving face.

"Thank you for your purchase," The keeper received Kisuke's payment before facing the Amazoness, "I'm sorry miss Tenestra, but this lad grabbed it first," The keeper knew of the Amazoness good reputation so he's not worried that a backlash would come his way.

With a grin, Kisuke said, "Too bad, you got too distracted, like a kid would~"

Tenestra gritted her teeth. She has been sharing all morning and this is the only Treant Magic Stone she found so she can't easily give up, "I'll pay you double the price you got it, please give it to me."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I also need this particular one so I'm not selling it?"

"You need that? Although it's indeed rare, it's useless for any daily appliances as they emit a nasty smell when the Magic Power inside them is consumed. Aside from weird Magic Swords or some experiment, I don't think there are any other uses for it."

Kisuke looked at the Magic Stone and replied, "Really? I don't really know about it. Then what about you? What are you going to use this for?"

"You don't know about that!? Then please sell it to me! I'll still double the price! I need it for my experiment! I'm telling you, the smell it releases is really nasty!"

Kisuke became interested as not many people have an interest in 'experiments' as Falna gives them everything, "Experiment? What experiment?"

That question, however, tickled Tenestra's passion.. After all, no one was really interested in her research and experiments as they were too hard for them to comprehend them, "A-are you interested?" she asked before letting her mouth runoff.
