Chapter 86 A Serious Diplomatic Incident

After bidding farewell to Yuushi Oshizuka with a subtle sense of gratitude, Sonoko yawned as she staggered back to the top floor. She squatted in the elevator, ordered takeout, and took a shower while the food was being delivered.

She was about to step out of the bathroom with a pink towel on her head when there was a sudden loud noise from the master bedroom door.

"Bang—"

This was followed by a series of chaotic footsteps.

Yuanzi looked out and saw the stern-looking assistant sister walking in front, looking like a big sister ready to chop someone down.

She stood in the middle of the main hall and glanced around, accurately capturing the part of Yuanzi's head that was exposed. She quickly got him to sit on the sofa in front of her, and then directed the people who came with him to get the hair dryer and to tidy up their clothes.

In just ten minutes, Suzuki Sonoko was tidied up to look presentable.

Yuanzi was carried out of the bedroom. The night breeze from the rooftop finally brought her back to normal. Bewildered, she turned around and asked, "Where are we going?"

——Aren’t you going to have dinner?

The assistant sister discovered that the outdoor temperature was a little lower than she expected, and she pulled out another robe from somewhere.

She pursed her lips as she added clothes to Sonoko and fastened her belt before she said seriously, "Let's go to Fuyuki."

Amid the rumbling sound of helicopter debugging in the background, Suzuki Sonoko let out a long sigh of relief, feeling hopeless.

She said, "I'm mentally prepared. Just tell me, what are those people up to?"

The assistant sister sighed and began to replay the story.

=====

The origin of the matter was the child abduction case that Caster had set up in Fuyuki.

In fact, this is a complex triple case.

Firstly, due to the reckless behavior of Caster and his master Ryunosuke Amayū, the supervisor, Kotomine Rizheng, ruled that Caster's group was out, and directly suspended the Holy Grail War, allowing the remaining groups to kill him first.

Secondly, Caster kidnapped children from innocent families. If the parents found out that their children were missing, wouldn’t they call the police?

A serial kidnapping case that can be described as "a sensation in the city" must have been reported on the "Morning News" and then on the "Late News"!

Over the past few days, the heat continued to grow, and a series of legal programs followed up on the report. Parents who lost their children waited in front of the Metropolitan Police Department in the wind and rain, causing the Fuyuki Police Station to be in a state of panic.

Under tremendous pressure from public opinion, the director gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, simply admitting that he was incapable of doing the job.

Then, in full view of the public, he told the interviewers: "We have reported the situation to our superiors and seconded a police inspector with rich case handling experience to assist in the investigation. We will definitely bring the criminals to justice as soon as possible."

This is not a lie. The director went back and applied to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

After much deliberation, the Metropolitan Police Department sent out a senior police inspector who has always been at the top of the crime-solving rate, the ace of the Criminal Division - Officer Juzo Megure!

So the police rushed to Fuyuki. In addition to the local police and foreign aid Megure Juzo, there was also foreign aid Mori Kogoro, and a famous detective Kudo Shinichi who could find new cases by smelling the smell.

The third case belongs to Soul Society.

Caster kidnapped many children. Except for those killed by Ryunosuke Uryu for fun, the rest died in ways related to black magic, resulting in the death of the children but without a living soul to go to Soul Society.

This is what was mentioned earlier, and what Rukia asked Ichigo Kurosaki to investigate: the large-scale disappearance of souls in Fuyuki City.

Actually, the first person to discover Caster's hiding place was Ichigo Kurosaki.

He discovered the manhole cover emitting abnormal vibrations and deduced the possible coordinates of the crime scene. Unfortunately, after receiving the call, the 13th Team held a meeting for an entire night.

Ichigo Kurosaki originally said that he would bring some hydrangeas back to Sonoko, but he had eaten all the flowers he had picked while squatting in Fuyuki, and there was still no sign of support from the 13th Division.

As the sun rises, the alarm clock rings: It's eight o'clock in the morning, Kurosaki-kun has to go back to school for the exam!

The second group to discover Caster's lair were two members of the Rider team.

The King of Conquerors always disdained such sinister and creepy methods and was extremely disgusted with Caster. In addition, their little master was not a veteran who had come through many storms and waves, so he did not let Waver see the cruel scene carved out of flesh and blood. Instead, he directly made a big move and completely destroyed Caster's magic workshop built in the underground waterway.

The third wave of people are the police comrades who have added the Death Elementary School Student BUFF.

Of course, ordinary people definitely cannot catch the heroic spirits, they can only speak after the fact at various crime scenes.

But the police have one good thing: they control the vast ocean of people's war.

Rider destroyed Caster's magic workshop. Wouldn't those limbs, flesh, and building debris sink?

As luck would have it, the location Caster chose was in an abandoned underground sewer. With the turbulent flow of water rushing around, some of the sewage outlets had a faint bloody color.

A young man who was taking pictures on the seawall had nothing better to do so he went into the water to fish. He was grabbing the water outlet on the side of the dam to catch some seashells, but while he was digging, he pulled out a finger.

About three centimeters long, it's the size of a child's finger.

The young man swallowed in fear, cried and screamed, and went to call the police.

Kudo Shinichi's observation skills were very sharp. He compared the sewer route map and made a mysterious analysis. Through Kogoro Mouri, he circled several possible problem areas and arranged for the accompanying police officers to check them separately.

Finally, at dusk, they found Caster's magic workshop, which was about to collapse, and confirmed that this was the crime scene!

"This is no longer a kidnapping case," Inspector Megure said sternly, looking at the bloodstains on the ground that had dried for a long time but had not yet been washed away. "This is a serial murder case!"

"They actually kill children..."

The female police officer who was traveling with her felt a little reluctant and took a step back unconsciously, almost falling down on the gravel.

She hurriedly raised her hand to hold the wall, and first felt a sticky bloodstain, and then noticed some regular lines.

The policewoman suppressed her nausea and touched it again, then shouted in shock, "Officer Megure, there seems to be something here!"

They found a piece of debris with a magic circle carved on it.

"Child torture and sacrifice..."

Is it a cult?

The famous detective Kudo Shinichi is worthy of his title of "Savior of the Police Force". Although his mind has been analyzing the cult, he still relies on his keen observation skills to find a metal button from the rubble in the corner.

Later, the button was taken for testing.

=====

After being tortured by these two groups, when Kurosaki Ichigo finished his exams for the day and transformed into a Shinigami to continue his surveillance mission in Fuyuki, he was shocked to find that the crime scene he had found earlier had been almost completely destroyed. Not only was there a plastic seal within a 50-meter radius prohibiting entry!

At this moment, several burly field policemen with guns on their waists were occupying the corner where he often squatted with expressionless faces.

Because he had almost been autopsied by a forensic doctor, Ichigo was actually a little nervous when he saw the police, but he could overcome the psychological factors with some effort.

What really made him feel strange was that at this moment, underground, in addition to the strange power with a strong bloody aura that he had sensed before (the magic power of Master Qingxu), there were also remnants of another power (the magic power of the Conqueror King).

Ichigo Kurosaki squatted nearby and watched for a long time. He felt that the mysterious disappearance of Fuyuki's soul might be more complicated than he imagined. In order to ensure that there would be no unnecessary complications, he called Rukia again to urge her to do something.

This time, Rukia answered the phone quickly, and there was no noise like the quarrels in the vegetable market around.

Kurosaki Ichigo: "Hey!"

"uh-huh?"

"What are you humming..."

The orange-haired boy snorted and shouted impatiently into the receiver, "You've been in a meeting for a whole day and night. Have you come to any conclusion yet? Will Team 13 send anyone?"

Rukia naturally ignored his anger and roared back without giving in.

"What do you know, you guy? A captain-level Grim Reaper going to the human world has to go through a lot of procedures and approvals, okay!"

After Aizen wiped out the Central Forty-Six, forty-six sage seats were vacant. Although the nobles were severely injured, many of them saw hope for a reshuffle of the distribution of power.

During this period, the nobles in the Jingling Court were eager to make a move, and they were all working hard to become the one in forty-six!

Everyone is fighting each other and setting traps to engage in political struggles. There are endless tricks both inside and outside the field. Recently, even the captain was dragged into it - this seriously interferes with normal administrative efficiency. Not to mention the complicated procedures, the review time is also very long.

Thinking of this, Kuchiki Rukia sighed tiredly and said soothingly, "The preliminary procedures have basically been processed. Just wait a little longer. We will be there soon!"

Ichigo had spent quite a bit of time with Rukia, and he could be said to know her quite well.

Although Rukia didn't mention any specific news, Kurosaki instantly lost interest in continuing to argue with her after discerning the fatigue in her words.

The boy in the Death Hero costume scratched the back of his head and reluctantly emphasized, "The location I told you last time has been destroyed. I feel that the attack was carried out by a force from the same source. It may be an accomplice who helped to destroy the body."

"If you keep stalling, you might not even be able to catch my tail!"

"Hmm~"

Rukia answered him perfunctorily with full energy: "I understand."

"I'm serious!"

Miss Kuchiki Rukia then tried to adjust her tone and perfunctorily said to him, "In any case, Ichigo, don't be impulsive. Just wait a little longer!"

=====

On the other side, the policemen who took the button for testing were almost supernatural. With the help of the Exit-Entry Administration Office, they accidentally found the owner of the metal button through the bare-headed color photo in the passport.

That is Mr. Weber Velvet.

Inspector Megure was stunned after receiving the information: "A foreign tourist died?!"

The owner of the immigration office chuckled and said, "No."

"That's what I mean," Officer Megure wiped the sweat off his forehead at the diplomatic issue that almost happened, muttering, "Serial killers always target children around ten years old. This one looks like a young man, so he shouldn't be a target..."

etc!

Thinking of this, Inspector Megure suddenly felt that something seemed wrong?

Conan sat on the soft chair in front of the desk with his arms folded, not knowing how to describe his mood at the moment.

He wiped his face, hiding the despair of a middle-aged man who had seen through life, and revealed a smile filled with innocence and childishness. He ran to Inspector Megure, raised his hand and grabbed his clothes, and said in a voice with at least three plus signs of sugar content: "Since he is not a victim and is not missing, then this brother-"

He pointed at Weber's photo with his short little finger and asked in a very cute way, "Could he be the murderer?"

“That’s right!”

The only one who can come up with the supporting role so timely is Kogoro Mouri.

Found such a clue person, not stingy to discover the treasure.

The police quickly obtained detailed information through the system, and then with the help of bank consumption records, found Weber Velvet's current address.

Half an hour later, a group of criminal officers appeared at the B&B where Weber currently lived with a search warrant.

Because they left in a hurry and Weber had put the owner of the B&B under hypnosis, he was quite confident about the place. When the police entered the house, everything in the building remained the same as before Weber left.

A huge tactical whiteboard, with photos and reference materials of the opponents pasted on it, magic books scattered all over the place, and a warning magic circle drawn on the wall...

Looking over at the table, he saw quite a few gadgets he had made in his spare time, and a bunch of flasks and test tubes filled with semi-finished alchemical substances bubbling away.

——It looks like a fucking cult scene!

Fortunately, Weber was a foreigner, and a foreign magician at that. He rarely used English in general, and his notes were mostly in Latin and German.

Coupled with the numerous obscure and coined words in magic research, the police were unable to deduce much useful information for a while.

“Even if you can’t understand the words, you can always understand the photos.”

The accompanying Fuyuki local police officer rubbed his chin and pointed to the notice board covered with photos.

"This," he pointed to the first one, "is in the backyard of the local Holy Church in Fuyuki. My mother is a devout Christian and is quite familiar with Father Kotomine Risei. She was fortunate enough to visit the statue of the Holy Child there."

"As for this one," he pointed to the second one, "it's a private residence far from the city. I remember it's over a hundred years old. Because no one has ever been here, we used to think it was a haunted house when we were kids."

"A private castle?"

Conan pretended to exclaim, "Is this the kind where the prince lives?"

"No," the police officer recalled patiently, "I remember it was Aiyaz or Ainkaren or something like that, a foreign family with a very long name. I've never met the owner of that house, but it seems there are people who stay behind to do regular cleaning..."

Einzbern!

Although the police officer's pronunciation was terrible when he recalled it, Conan had never seen a similar word before!

——In the computer of the Exit and Entry Administration Office, this name is ranked next to Weber Velvet on the directory page!

"This means they arrived in Fuyuki almost at the same time..."

The famous detective muttered to himself as he looked at the whiteboard filled with letters not far away. He felt that the city was shrouded in a huge web of conspiracy.

The foreign cult's abuse and murder of children is linked to both the foreign nobles and gentry and the local religious leaders...

Oh my god, this might very well be a foreign cult with ulterior motives!

=====

Of course, the assistant sister’s understanding of the development of events at this time was not as detailed as written above.

So she just told Sonoko: The police have caught Modou doing something in Fuyuki!

"so what?"

Sonoko was even more confused: "Did the police really go to Einzbern?"

Given that Sonoko had always imagined Emiya Kiritsugu to be a terrorist who played with bombs, she immediately gasped, "Don't tell me those officers on duty were killed?!"

"That's not the case."

"That means they touched Waver's things, triggered the warning magic he left behind, and were then brutally murdered by the returning Rider!"

"Neither do we have this."

——By the way, what kind of image do you have of those people from the Demonic Path?

The assistant sister always felt that the little girl seemed to have some psychological trauma, so she patted Yuanzi's shoulder soothingly.

In fact, Waver did leave behind some triggering magic, and he did notice someone entering his territory, but why didn't he go back?

“Because I don’t have the hands free.”

At this time, they were already sitting in the prepared aircraft cabin, and the assistant sister bent down to secure Yuanzi.

The rabbit leader, who followed her into the cabin, sighed and told her, "What I have just said is just a brief summary. What I want to talk about now is the serious accident."

Yuanzi suddenly felt that this [serious accident] was truly serious, and said seriously, "You talk, I'm listening."

The rabbit leader then said, "The Einzbern people moved to Emiya's residence today. They moved because Caster destroyed the Einzbern castle last night."

"In other words, the two groups are still in a state of conflict."

Sonoko: “Hmm?”

Rabbit Leader: "So, a quarter of an hour ago, Caster attacked Emiya's residence again, but due to Lancer's interference, he failed to achieve any clear results."

"After failing to find any results, he resorted to a desperate measure and unleashed a large-scale magecraft on the Weiyuan River, summoning a sea demon."

"Rider and his Master were stranded near the Miyuan River because of this, and were unable to return in time."

Yuanzi said "Oh" to show that she understood.

After a long silence, she asked again, "How big is that sea monster?"

"It is enough to cover the surface of a river not far away."

The rabbit leader fastened his seat belt calmly and gave this answer calmly.

"I see..."

As soon as the words fell, Suzuki Sonoko made a quick decision and wanted to jump out of the plane——

——In the blink of an eye, the assistant sister who was accompanying her raised her hand and grabbed her into her arms, and pushed her back to her seat in a few minutes.

As the propellers spun faster and faster, they took off with no turning back.

Inside the cabin, Sonoko went berserk. "I thought a police officer was killed, and I needed to express serious condemnation to those magicians... or, perhaps, issue a condolence statement or something?"

"Why are you looking for me about something like a sea monster?!"

"Please don't get excited—"

"I'm not excited!"

Yuanzi held her assistant's palm in her arms with deep sorrow and asked her sincerely, "Do you think I really have any direct fighting ability?"

"Don't tell me about good luck..."

She sniffed bitterly, "Even if I killed a sea monster that big right then and there with thunder, the waves it would stir up when it sank into the river would be enough to break my bones when it hit the shore!"

The rabbit leader had never seen anyone cry so freely, and for the first time, he had a clear understanding that [their 'puppet emperor' was a little girl].

"Please be patient."

Because of his change of heart, his tone softened slightly: "In fact, this is just the outline of the situation."

"well?"

Suzuki Sonoko rubbed her eyes and burped in confusion.

=====

The real climax of the matter occurred fifteen minutes after the sea monster appeared.

In the first half of this chapter, after discovering that the King of Conquerors had destroyed the location of the clue he had found, Ichigo Kurosaki called Rukia and asked them when the police would go out.

Rukia replied immediately.

This immediately, really means immediately.

The troublesome procedures were almost completed within the day that was wasted before. When Ichigo Kurosaki called, the 13th Division was in the Kidōshu's territory waiting for them to set up the gate.

As a result, before it was set up, the machine that monitored the living souls in the world started to make a dududu sound again.

The sea monster had just appeared, causing massive casualties along the coast, and the heroes were unable to stop it in time.

The entourage of the 12th Division standing next to the venue were immediately horrified and said that something bad was going to happen.

In the absence of large-scale natural disasters, the last time such a sudden and concentrated annihilation of souls occurred was when Aizen was still in the incubation period and secretly released mutated Hollows into the world!

—Could it be that the rebel recently discovered some new species, and has now made things worse by showing up in the human world?!

Driven by curiosity, Kurotsuchi Mayuri reluctantly cooperated with the 13th Division to investigate the spiritual particle fluctuations near Fuyuki. After a while, he sent back a half-dead message saying that there were indeed abnormal biological fluctuations.

As the dudu sounds grew louder and more urgent, Xiaozhuan Xiantaro, the third seat who was about to accompany the captain to the human world, hurried over to ask the ghosts, "How long will it take for the gate to heal?"

The Ghost Path members blinked: "About half an hour."

"Damn it, it's too late!"

After receiving such a reply, Rukia clenched her fists in frustration.

"It's too late, so don't wait."

Ukitake Jushiro, wearing a haori, stood under the corridor, without a trace of impatience on his face.

He even smiled generously, then turned to Kuchiki Rukia and asked, "Captain Kuchiki... should have returned home from the squad by now, right?"

That’s right!

Rukia's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother must be here!"

Seeing that she was about to run away, Ukitake quickly raised his hand to signal Sentaro to stop her.

"This matter has nothing to do with personal feelings."

"Rukia, as the Vice Captain of the Thirteenth Division, you will make a formal request to Captain Kuchiki. Just consider it as the Sixth Division assisting the Thirteenth Division in a mission."

Rukia's eyes sparkled as she bent down: "I know!"

The privileges of the nobles were not excessive, and the privately built permanent gates also had many limitations, and their size was definitely not comparable to the gates set up when the troops went to war.

When Ukitake Jushiro led the crowd out of Amagando, he was mentally prepared, but after arriving at the Kuchiki family, he found that the situation was even worse than he had imagined.

That door can probably only accommodate one person at a time.

But it doesn't matter. Since the captain-level combat power has been mobilized, the other followers are said to be responsible for fighting, but in fact they are only doing supporting work. It's enough for him to get through.

Because it was a formal social interaction between squads, Kuchiki Byakuya put on his full captain's haori again and stood in front of the door with an expressionless face.

Rukia stood silently on the other side, and there was no sign of her domineering aura in the 13th Division.

"Captain Kuchiki, please excuse me."

"No problem."

Because time was tight, the two of them didn't exchange any more pleasantries. Captain Ukitake's expression became serious, and he stepped straight into the illusory door.

The other side of the spatial coordinates is the sky above the Mion River in Fuyuki City.

=====

Ukitake Jushiro is born weak and has poor endurance, but his instantaneous combat output is quite outstanding, and the strength of his spiritual pressure is even higher than that of Kuchiki Byakuya, who is famous for his strong fighting power.

Additionally, he possesses Soul Society's only twin Zanpakutō, the Pisikkoi.

The characteristic of Pisces Carp is that it absorbs attacks with its left side and bounces them back directly with its right side. It can also adjust the speed, force and intensity of the rebound, so there is basically no loss of spiritual pressure during combat.

In a sense, it also makes up for his lack of endurance.

But in other words, Ukitake Jushiro is a defensive counterattack player.

Even though his Kidō abilities were equally extraordinary, the destructive power of a full-strength attack using the highest-level Hado could not be compared to the combat-type Zanpakutō Bankai skills.

——If the ones causing chaos in the real world are really Aizen's mutated Hollows, or any other race of magical creatures (such as the Tailed Beasts?), even if facing overwhelming Hollows and Tailed Beast Balls, he can withstand ten of them alone even if he coughs up blood while fighting!

But when Captain Ukitake arrived in the real world urgently, what he saw was a giant octopus with bared fangs and claws!

A giant octopus that dominates the world purely by relying on its physical strength!

As a result, Captain Ukitake Jushiro and the helpless heroic spirits below were caught in the same dilemma.

Saber's little finger was injured and she couldn't use her anti-city Noble Phantasm. The situation was urgent, and Diarmuid only frowned and thought for a few seconds before making a decision.

But just as he was about to break the treasure, accompanied by the sudden violent surge and explosion of water waves, a terrifying breeze suddenly blew silently in the air.

The Thirteenth Squad's role in the Jingling Court is [Soul Burial and Hollow Purification]. In other words, it is the team responsible for fighting.

Whenever there was a battle in Lingxu, they were responsible for being the spearhead, making breakthroughs, and being the one at the forefront.

As a student of the captain-in-chief, Ukitake Jushiro has served as captain for over a thousand years, so his combat experience is needless to say.

Almost the next second after he saw the sea monster, he instinctively threw out seven binding balls in a row, completely blocking its route to the shore, and then he crushed the red distress beacon in his arms without hesitation.

He was sure that in order to show respect and to ensure safety, Kuchiki Byakuya would definitely guard the gate at this time.

As expected!

However, in a flash of light and darkness, Kuchiki Byakuya, wearing a silver-white wind flower veil, appeared in mid-air, holding the hilt of the sword tightly!

He seemed to have no doubt about the meaning of Fuzhu's visit. There was no need for any further communication. With just one glance, he understood the crux of the current situation.

The slender hands clenched and closed, the shoulders of the young man from a noble family relaxed slightly but his posture remained unchanged. The long sword in his hand fell vertically, disappeared silently as if dissolving, and then turned into tall sharp blades that rose from both sides!

Swastika solution · Qianbenzao Jingyan.

Kuchiki Byakuya almost without hesitation chose the third form of Senbonzakura - "Final Scene: White Emperor Sword."

The surging spiritual pressure transformed into huge white wings, and the sudden burst of coldness, accompanied by the swords condensed from the spiritual pressure, rushed down like an overwhelming force, aiming directly at the target with a force that almost pierced through the earth!

In the scene of floating and colliding reflections of countless broken ice crystals, the huge sea monster that almost covered the river was strangled into powder by the whirlpool-like force!

The cold air emitted by the White Emperor Sword even froze a small section of the river near the dock.

=====

"In other words," Miss Suzuki had regained her composure, "the sea monster is actually dead?"

"Well," the rabbit leader nodded, "it only lived for ten and a half minutes."

Yuanzi was immediately relieved.

"Isn't this all settled?"

Because he had rehearsed worse scenarios in advance, Yuanzi felt okay when he heard that his own dock was frozen.

She touched her nose and asked curiously, "Then...why are you still so bitter and resentful?"

The assistant sister felt that although His Majesty Suzuki had some understanding that [the Imperial Pillar Tower was an administrative agency], he did not really consider the issue from the perspective of [a government that maintains order].

"The end of the sea monster battle is just the beginning of serious events."

The skill of the White Emperor Sword has a very cool visual effect when used, and the heroic spirit's five senses are far superior to those of ordinary people. When the sea monster is killed, even the air becomes clear, accompanied by seemingly endless floating ice crystals.

Artoria protected Irisviel from the sudden appearance of ice, and together with the King of Conquerors' carriage, they stopped at the lighthouse near the pier.

Diarmuid seemed to be quite worried and hesitated for a moment before reuniting with them, but his Master was no longer by his side.

In mid-air, the two captains who fought side by side finally said their first words since their farewell.

"...This monster seems to be controlled by someone."

Ukitake's aura was as gentle as ever, but when he saw the dire situation in the urban area around the Mion River, his brows unconsciously frowned.

His eyebrows turned, and following the faint fluctuations of power, he discovered Ryunosuke Uryu squatting in the shadows by the bridge.

Because he didn't understand the existence mode of the Heroic Spirits, Captain Kuchiki's attack did not directly send Caster back to the Throne of Heroes. Senbonzakura still had some strength left, so he naturally surrounded him in the scene mode.

At this point in the story, the assistant sister said: We have finally reached the point.

Kuchiki Byakuya and Ukitake Jushiro can now be sure that Amayura Ryunosuke and that Hollow (neither of them are from the 12th Division, and since they are not human spirits, we will just use this rough definition for now) are the culprits behind Fuyuki's disappearance.

According to the rules, they naturally had to arrest these two people, escort them to Jingling Court and lock them up in Shuangji Palace to await trial.

Afterwards, the Thirteenth Division and the Sixth Division will write a jointly signed action report and submit it to the Central Forty-Sixth Office. After the sages review and approve it, the two men will be convicted according to the regulations and executed at the appropriate time.

Soul Society's "timely execution" is somewhat similar to "unified detention and execution at a later date." Moreover, the Forty-Sixth Chamber is still holding an election, and the forty-six seats are not yet fully occupied. The specific trial procedures are bound to be many times more complicated!

In addition, the concept of time in Soul Society is different from that of humans in the modern world who live for sixty or seventy years and then die. It is very possible to lock up criminals for a hundred or eighty years before execution!

What does one hundred and eighty years mean?

The Holy Grail War only lasts seven days!

When the remaining groups have finished killing each other and the heroic spirits have all returned to the Holy Grail, the Caster group, who are imprisoned in the Bipolar Palace and picking their feet, may become the biggest winner of this war!

Isn’t this just winning without any effort?

——What can others do?

——Of course not!

However, Ukitake Jushiro and Kuchiki Byakuya are both of noble birth. The former is a legitimate descendant of the Gotei 13, and the latter is a model of nobles appointed by the Soul King's court, and he also leads the court guard.

For these two people, maintaining the order and legal dignity of Jingling Court must be the top priority.

The contradiction immediately became irreconcilable.

So, now that the Sea Demon is dead after fifteen minutes of appearance, there are two captain-level Shinigami facing three Heroic Spirits (Archer and Berserker may appear at any time in the future) on the Miyuan River.

It seems like it's two against three now, but it may become two against five in the future.

But let’s not talk about the fact that their fighting power is not necessarily equal - after all, there is Ukitake’s defensive counterattack - behind this “two”, there are eleven people of the same level standing by.

If this is not handled properly, the noise will be much louder than a sea monster flapping its wings in the water.

The so-called serious incident of the Rabbit Chief is called "Serious Deterioration of Foreign Exchange Relations".

The key lies in the word "diplomacy".

In other words, in this situation where the conflict between the other world (Soul Society) and the other world (Throne of Heroes) is on the verge of breaking out, but there is still room for improvement, the Ajitoin, as the government of this world (the supernatural), must shoulder the responsibility of mediating the diplomatic conflict and call on both sides to resolve the dispute peacefully.

To put it simply, it means to smooth things over.

This matter, like the "meeting with the Prime Minister", was an occasion with strong political significance. To show respect, the only one qualified to smooth things over at this moment was Guo Changlu Dajue, the King of Gold, who was almost regarded as the embodiment of the country in the underworld.

"The Yu family is currently overwhelmed, so the one who will shoulder this responsibility and sit on the arbitration panel must be the highest-ranking person in the Yuzhu Tower."

The rabbit leader replied casually: "That's you."

So I'm a mediator...

That being said, Yuanzi could understand.

She thought about it and wanted to confirm: "Will they really not fight?"

The assistant sister said, "We went there just to stop them from fighting."

Sonoko persisted: "What if they can't reach an agreement and insist on fighting?"

"Just, try to stop it."

She answered lightly.

Suzuki Sonoko: ...

Suzuki Sonoko wants to jump out of a plane again.

The author has something to say: This is not the fifth day of daily updates, this is the fifth day of my ten thousand updates, my dears!

Jinjiang doesn't allow writing too much about the original plot now, so I can't write in detail about the roles of the Heroic Spirits during the Holy Grail War. However, the FATE series shouldn't require much writing, so I have made some adjustments to the timeline.

The lines I started from Chapter 72 are finally coming together...

It is official data that Ukitake's spiritual pressure is stronger than Byakuya. He is considered one of the Soul King's substitutes and can even become a great god for a short period of time.

In the original work, Rukia was not the vice-captain at this time, so this is my personal setting.

The White Emperor Sword is an original skill created by the TV team for Byakuya, but the Jian Jing and Heng Jing were both drawn by 98 himself, and they are similar in terms of lethality.

Please remember: Yuzhu Tower is the underground neighborhood committee and the undisputed government agency!

If you see any typos, please tell me and I will correct them after I wake up.

Finally, as usual, please leave a message. Good morning everyone (づ￣ 3￣)づ
