The next morning, they went to another restaurant for breakfast before going to the port to take a Hydrofoil ferry to Aegina Island. And they arrive after 40 minutes of travel.

Aegina is roughly triangular in shape, approximately 15 km (9.3 mi) from east to west and 10 km (6.2 mi) from north to south, with an area of 87.41 km2 (33.75 sq mi).
An extinct volcano constitutes two-thirds of Aegina. The northern and western sides consist of stony but fertile plains, which are well cultivated and produce luxuriant crops of grain, with so cotton, vines, almonds, olives, and figs, but the most characteristic crop of Aegina today is pistachio. Economically, the sponge fisheries are of notable importance. The southern volcanic part of the island is rugged and mountainous, and largely barren. Its highest rise is the conical Mount Oros in the south, and the Panhellenic ridge stretches northward with narrow fertile valleys on either side.
The beaches are also a popular tourist attraction. Hydrofoil ferries from Piraeus take only forty minutes to reach Aegina; the regular ferry takes about an hour, with ticket prices for adults within the 4-15 euro range. There are regular bus services from Aegina town to destinations throughout the island such as Agia Marina. Portes is a fishing village on the east coast.
"Anything else you want to do first?" Kisuke asked Yoruichi after disembarked from the vessel.
"Nah. Let's go greet this Cleria Belial first. She's going to show us around anyways."
Kisuke took a look at the letter again to confirm Cleria's address and since they still got plenty of ti, they choose to walk their way there. Along the way, they tried various snacks that can be found on the small stalls.
After a few hours of walking and enjoying the scenery which they don't see often, they reached a modest one-story house on the outskirts of the Aegina Town which has so distances from other houses.
With a knock on the double doors, the voice of a woman answered in Greek, "Να??"
A holy woman with long grey hair tied in a ponytail and grey eyes opened and peek from the door and saw a man with black hair and a woman with dark skin, 'Eastern descents? Soone who got separated from their tour group?' "What can I do for you?" Cleria then asked in English.
"Yo~! It's been a while~!" The man with black hair said in Japanese with a large grin.
Cleria furrowed her brows as she stares at the man, 'What is this guy talking about? Did he mistake for…' But as she stares more at his grinning face, Cleria was suddenly reminded of the unusual child that saved both of her and Masaomi from the brink of death a decade ago. Although he has a different hair color from that day, she couldn't forget that grin of him, "… You… You ca!?" She shouted in surprise voice which alerted the other people in the house.
"I ca to play~!" With a chuckle, Kisuke confird his identity.
"Mama, Who's on the door?" A voice of a man ca from the inside of the house.
"Honey! Co here and see who ca!"
"Hmm? What's up? It's my turn in our Monopoly ga now. I at least wanted to be richer than Claire!" A man with a black crew-cut hair peek on the door and saw Kisuke and Yoruichi, "Hmm? Just take that street and you'll reach the main street after 20 minutes of walking. You can ask people on the way for further directions."
After the man said that, he earned a knock on the head from Cleria, "They aren't tourists! No… Maybe they are but do you not rember him!?"
Kisuke's grin still hasn't disappeared and the man, Masaomi Yaegaki finally rembers his face despite being a babyface ten years ago, "K-Kisuke Urahara!?"
"The one and only~."
"Ah… Forgive us! We didn't that you're coming today. We thought for sure that you'll only co three days later for my daughter's birthday. Please co in." Masaomi opened the door wide and invited them in.
"Thank you for having us," Yoruichi said in a bright smile.
"Uhmm, I'm Cleria Yaegaki and this is my husband Masaomi Yaegaki." Cleria introduces herself and her husband to the unfamiliar woman who's with Kisuke.
"Yoruichi, just Yoruichi. I'm Kisuke's wife~." Yoruichi took Cleria's hand and introduced herself.
"His wife? Great! Kisuke-kun, you manage to get yourself a beauty!" Masaomi patted Kisuke's back and congratulated him.
"I'm handso and charming. Isn't this an obvious result?" Kisuke proudly proclaid.
"Too charming that others are gunning for him even with around." Yoruichi gave him a sneer.
"Ahahaha! Isn't that great!? You got a husband that is so good that others just wanted to take a bite!"
"Ehehe…"
Hearing the laughs from the living room, a small girl ca out from the bedroom and said, "Mama, Papa!" She then hurriedly hid behind her father and took a peek at the guests. The little girl inherited her mother's hair and eye color while her face is a bit more of an eastern descent she inherited from her father, "Who are they?"
Kisuke and Yoruichi already knew about the little girl as she's the reason they are here in the first place. Her na is Cleria and she'll seven years old in three days.
Kisuke put on a 'big brother' image and he crouched down to et her eyes, "Nice to et you. I'm Kisuke Urahara. I heard that your parents keep telling you stories about ." He spoke in crooked but understandable Greek.
"Big brother Kisuke?" Cleria asks she stares at Kisuke.
"Yep~."
Cleria first looked up to her father and mother for their confirmation. As they nodded, she smiled brightly and jumped out from Masaomi's back and arrive in front of Kisuke, "Yaay! Big brother Kisuke! Let's play!"
Kisuke picked her up and said, "Sure! What do you want to play?"
"Monopoly!"
"Why that?"
"Because Papa can't beat !"
"Pfft-." Yoruichi tried to stop herself from laughing but failed, "Ahahaha!"
"By the way, When did you learn Greek?" Yoruichi changes the topic and asks sothing she's curious about all this ti.
"The mont I received their letter. I thought it would be convenient."
"Seriously? You just received that letter 2 days ago."
"What!? You learned a language within just 2 days?" Cleria and Masaomi exclaid.
"Well… I have to understand what your daughter is saying at least."
"Haah… What the hell is your head made out of? Anyways, you could just speak Japanese to her just fine. She's a half-Devil after all and she has 'Language' skill."
"… I forgot about that… And that's a lot more convenient than learning a language. I should start replicating that skill."
Cleria's mouth twitches when she heard him mutter sothing unbelievable, "That's a Devil's innate skill you know…"
Kisuke smiled brightly and replied, "If it's happening, then it's possible. I just have to find out how it works."
