This independent space, hidden within the shadows of Karakura Town, possessed a unique set of coordinates of its own.
Precisely because of that, before anyone else learned of those unique coordinates, it was almost impossible for others to find this independent space.
Previously, Chiba Makoto had merely treated this independent space as a secret base for all sorts of experiments.
But now that he had returned to Soul Society under the name "Chiba Makoto," the greatest problem he faced was undoubtedly how to maintain his body's continued fusion with Matter Particles.
After all, Chiba Makoto, who would undoubtedly become an absolute core member of the Thirteen Divisions' upper echelons, could not exactly keep running off to the World of the Living every few days.
And this was the solution Chiba Makoto had chosen after careful consideration!
With his left hand, he stabilized Makoto's Secret Garden's unique coordinates, ensuring it remained connected to Karakura Town itself;
With his right hand, he searched for suitable coordinates within Soul Society, then controlled Makoto's Secret Garden as it began to extend.
Essentially, Makoto's Secret Garden was a three-dimensional space hidden within a certain point. Within the shadows, it could maintain an intact world, while also separating itself from the coordinates in the shadows and appearing in the World of the Living.
Of course, this inevitably meant that Makoto's Secret Garden had fused with Karakura Town in a unique manner.
What Chiba Makoto was attempting now was to give Makoto's Secret Garden two sets of coordinates at once, turning the shadowed area where Makoto's Secret Garden existed from a point into a line.
This would allow Makoto's Secret Garden to become, in a sense, a hidden passage connecting Soul Society and Karakura Town, enabling Chiba Makoto to maintain his efficiency in fusing with Matter Particles
