Isekai Restuarant (Rewrite)

- Silas -

In the evening, I closed the Restaurant and invited Lavy to go out with me.

The order of things was already messed up but I wanted to at least let her experience a normal relationship… or as normal as our relationship could get.

The place where Kisuke lived was called Karakura town.

It is a normal Japanese town but there was something about this place which made it an ideal place to go on a date - the fact that there won't be anyone looking for a mysterious Lucifer.

We spent the whole day having fun together and had our dinner outside. The food from my Restaurant had spoiled any normal food for us.

The two of us got a bit lost and didn't realise the time. It was night by the time we decided to find Kisuke's place.

"So, his shop is in this area. The Urahara Candy Shop. Let's look around the area and see."

"Hmm."

We walked past a corner and I suddenly felt something flying towards me at a high speed. I reflexively slapped it aside as a wall crashed and I saw the figure embedded into the wall.

What's that… a boy?

"Ichigo!"

From the other side of the street, a black haired girl cried loudly and came running towards the guy and looked at me menacingly.

Now I know she was supposedly trying to look menacing but all she looked like was a menacing squirrel with its mouth full of nuts.

"Who are you people? Why did you attack Ichigo?"

"Attack is a strong word. It's just that I felt something about to crash into me and reflexively slapped it away. You know, kinda when you feel like a fly or something is about to enter your eyes and you try to slap it away. It wasn't exactly intentional so it's more of an accident than an actual attack."

"You can't slap someone like Ichigo away? You shouldn't even be able to see him." She shouted, offended?

"Umm why? I have perfect vision (especially during the nights). Also, why can't I hit him? Is he a prince somewhere? Does he own this street? If someone is about to crash into me, potentially push me into the middle of a road and cause an accident, I do believe I have a right to defend myself. Haven't you heard, running on the streets is not good? What do they teach in Middle Schools these days?"

"I am not a Middle Schooler!" She shrieked.

"Umm… sorry. Eleme…" I stopped my words looking at her face. "Probably not."

Before I could say anything, we heard a blast of sorts from the nearby street and the girl checked her phone.

"Oh no, the hollow." She ran towards the boy embedded in the wall. "Ichigo, wake up. The hollow is attacking."

I looked around and let out a sigh. I have been doing this a lot in the last few months. Then again, I wasn't caught in such situations before and neither did I have a multiverse spanning restaurant.

"Lavy, check on the boy. See if a restoration potion works. I will go and see what's going on."

She nodded and went to check on the boy while I turned towards the place where the sound of the explosion came from.

The noise was coming from a house. The surprising thing was that no one was coming out or even noticing anything wrong.

There were no barriers around. Were the people of this area so used to these kinds of things?

Kisuke's world is messed up.

I jumped to the window of the house and saw a half human half serpent ghost kind of thing looking at an orange haired girl while another girl lay on the ground injured.

The monster jumped and I almost reflexively created ice around it, freezing it in an ice box.

The girl fell on her butt. I rushed to their side and picked both up and carried the other girl on my shoulder before jumping out of the window.

The black haired girl from before came in running, carrying the fainted boy on her shoulder.

"Okay, what the hell was that? And why is this guy still down? Didn't the potion work on him?"

Lavinia shook her head. "Sil-kun, these people are apparently Shinigami."

"Death Gods? No way. They are too weak. Don't get tricked by them, Lavy. I am not good at sensing power but even by my standards, they are too weak. That guy took one slap but hasn't woken up yet."

Lavy looked at the girl suspiciously. "Are you lying?"

"What? No. I recently lost my power in an attack. Ichigo is still new at this work. Also, it's that guy who is the freak."

"Who are you calling a freak? I am just a respectable… ah, yeah. My bad." I realised mid sentence what I really was.

There was a bang inside the house and the ghost thing came out, blasting a wall.

I was able to take a look behind and the ice cube was still as it is. How did it get out?

I created another ice cage around it instantly and looked at the black haired girl.

"Okay, keep the discussions for later. What is that thing?"

"It's a hollow. They are spirits which have some leftover wishes and haven't passed on to the afterlife. They become corrupted and become hollows who form that mask on their faces. They attack anything with Spiritual Power."

"So an evil spirit of sorts. Reminds me of some Youkai. Will it be a problem if I just kill it?" I was pretty sure I could do that. In fact, I could instinctively feel that it was a soul of sorts and that I could literally eat it.

"No don't!" It was surprisingly the orange haired girl who said that. And that was not the end of surprises as she walked to the monster and hugged it, apologising.

The monster's mask broke and a face was revealed and from the girl's words, I knew it to be her brother.

It was like a freaking anime.

The now unmasked guy looked at me. "Kill me."

"No please, don't." The girl cried out again.

Damn. So troublesome.

The black haired girl spoke again. "He will just become a mindless hollow if he is not purified."

How do I even purify it?

I am a devil for fuck's sake. We are beings the furthest away from pure.

Purify?

Suddenly an idea struck me. "Lavy, use the Incinerate Anthem. I don't have any purification Skills."

She looked conflicted for a moment. She didn't like using her Sacred Gears normally, but after looking at the girl and then the ghost who was literally begging us, she steeled her resolve and nodded.

She walked towards the guy while I stopped the girl. "Don't worry. She won't hurt him."

Lavinia's body was surrounded by a purple flame as a giant cross appeared behind her. I was feeling chills even now when looking at the flame. It was however far lower than the last time I had felt when Augusta was using the flames.

Is it because Lavy was new and didn't know how to use it to Augusta's level of my own strength? I didn't know. What I did know was that it was strong and could severely hurt and even kill me.

I took some distance with the girl as the ghost waved at the girl and closed his eyes allowing the flames to touch him. The flames didn't exactly burn him but rather burned off his monstrous features, leaving a normal human-like soul in its place.

He waved goodbye to the weeping girl one last time and disappeared.

Lavinia recalled the flames back.

"See, he's probably going to a better place." The girl nodded and then fainted.

…. Now, what to do with this. I turned back to the black haired girl who was looking at us as if we were ghosts. "Say, do you know an address?"

___________________________________x_______________________________

"And so we came here." I explained to a rather amused looking Kisuke.

Turns out that the black haired girl, Rukia knew Kisuke and so did the carrot top, Ichigo.

Also, apparently, she wasn't a middle school student but rather someone like Kanna, a hundred plus years old… high school student.

They healed the girl, Orihime and the carrot top Ichigo.

"So, we are not in any trouble, are we?"

"Not really. You could be if you went around without controlling your Reiatsu though."

"Reiawhat?"

"Reiatsu, Spiritual Pressure or Soul Power." Kisuke then explained what he was talking about and showed me how to reign in my power.

"Ah, I wanted to talk to you about this. You see, I encountered something yesterday which kinda made me evolve again."

"Evolve? Like the time you fought a war? What exactly happened? Did you get into another war?" He asked, amused.

I let out a sigh. "If only it were that easy."

"Hoh! Something worse than a war then?"

"Yes. Although I wouldn't call it worse. Mildly troublesome at best." I corrected it when I thought about everything.

"What are we talking about?"

"I met and was named by a Demon Lord. An Ancient Demon Lord who is one of the strongest beings in Rimuru's world."

"A Demon Lord?" He asked, surprised this time. "Is everything alright there?"

"Yeah. Milim is not a bad person. In fact, as I said, she is more like Kanna than anything. The Power of a God and the mind of a child." I shuddered at the combination.

"Oh my, that does sound scary. How strong are we talking about?" He asked.

"Tohru was scared by her presence alone."

He blanched. "Yes, that's scary alright."

"Anyways, as I said, she is a good person. Mostly just lays around and plays games."

"Then what's the problem? You said she made you evolve."

"Yes. She named me and I evolved from the increased power. I am an Archdaemon now."

He brought out a paper fan from his sleeves and covered his face. "Oh my, that's good news then. Congratulations, I guess?"

I nodded and was about to speak when a cat walked into the room.

A black cat, who just took a look at us and then went up and sat on the table.

We looked at the cat and then I looked back at Kisuke and continued. "The thing is, the evolution to an Archdaemon is a fundamental change. They are Spiritual Beings and there are many things I don't know about them."

I then went on to explain everything Milim told me about Archdaemons and myself.

"And you thought I could help you out with my knowledge of souls?" He asked and I nodded. "Well, you have come to the right person. Come, we have so much to exper… um, learn."

"Oi, you were about to say experiment. You totally were going to say experiment."

"Slip of tongue, Silas-kun. Don't mind these small things." He waved his fan with a smile, making my eyes twitch wildly.

That's not exactly a small thing, ya know?!

"Anyways, we can start with teaching you how to control your Reiatsu. If you continue throwing around any more of your power, it will attract some dangerous things."

"Umm, I am already reigning in my power a lot. I learned it because it scared the goblins at Rimuru's village." It's more of a town now though.

"Really? You are giving off a new lieutenant class to a 3rd Seat Class reiatsu. That's you holding back? You must have quite some juice." The black cat sleeping on the table talked, completely taking me by surprise with the voice.

It talked?

And what's with that manly voice?

"So cute!" Lavinia jumped and hugged the cat almost immediately.

"Yoruichi is an old friend." Kisike stated as if the talking cat part was already understood.

No no, explain more about the talking cat part.

I reiterate again. This world is messed up.

"Silas?"

"Oh. Yes. 2% power." I replied absentmindedly.

"You were holding back 2% power?" He deadpanned.

"What? No. I am showing 2% of my power."

….

….

I continued seeing their blank looks, "But then again it's my magic and soul power might be hidden in a different way. I am new to this, can you show me an example?"

He nodded. "I think we should go to the training room first. Kurogane-kun is training there already."
