Chapter 4747 Encounter
In fact, I have always been afraid of releasing my Zanpakutō.
That first word was like a spell that lifted the seal. Something seemed to have truly awakened and gradually seeped into my existence.
It's not painful, but it feels like being blocked by a transparent barrier, and even the changes and fluctuations of emotions have become dull.
The sand beneath my feet began to crumble and melt, and I tried with little success to stifle the growing flames.
If this continues, the barrier that seals off spiritual pressure will also be impacted.
No, we need to control them more precisely, to control them instead of being controlled by them.
"Sit upright in the frost sky, Hyorinmaru!"
The cold air suddenly spread out, and the high temperature brought by Kagutsuchi was suppressed.
Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time I've seen Toushirou use his Shikai since he became captain. Damn, isn't this already much stronger than me?
Fortunately, this gap allowed me to suppress the raging flames. I also took this opportunity to release my Zanpakutō's Shikai.
"Thank you both for your hard work." Urahara Kisuke seemed to have lifted the barrier, because I heard his voice coming from the edge of the pit. "It's a good thing we didn't train under the store."
Yes, at the edge of the pit. The flames were so intense that they melted some of the sand and soil made of spirit particles. After the initial release, I was now standing in a shallow pit, surrounded by a thin, transparent wall, somewhat like glass.
Indeed, if I had been hired by Urahara Shoten, I would probably have to pay compensation to the unscrupulous merchant by now.
Bending my knees slightly, I jumped out of the pit and heard Urahara say:
"Huh? Looks like we have a guest."
guest?
The moment the barrier disappeared, I felt three extremely powerful spiritual pressures appear at the edge of the training ground.
It's not a Grim Reaper, but more like the 90th Blade encountered before.
"Oh my, this is incredible! What brought all three of you here?"
Standing in front of him were two women and one man in white clothes. They looked different from each other, but they all wore white bone masks on their heads to a greater or lesser extent.
No, "growing" would be more appropriate.
"You don't think that crappy concealment technique will work, do you?" the only man said unkindly, his blue hair looking unusually flamboyant. "It can be felt from dozens of kilometers away, Urahara Kisuke."
Next to him stood a plump woman with long green hair and a white mask resembling a two-horned skull. "Hello, Mr. Urahara." Unlike the blue-haired man, the woman smiled and looked very friendly. "I came here because I felt the impact of spiritual pressure. Is everything okay?"
The woman who hadn't spoken so far had short blond hair, dark skin, and a tall build. Her turtleneck hid the lower half of her face, leaving only her green eyes as she stared at us silently. "Long time no see, Hitsugaya Toushirou."
Um?
"Tia Harribel, I didn't expect you to come too."
Uh-huh? ?
Why do they look so familiar with each other?!
"It's okay, it's okay. We're just borrowing the venue for a special training session. After all, as you can see, the situation is quite special."
As for Urahara Kisuke, let alone one person, I feel like he's very familiar with all three Arrancar. At least he's already opened his folding fan and laughed it off.
"Miss Jiu Jing, let me introduce you. These three are the Arrancar who are currently maintaining neutrality in Hueco Mundo."
Grimmjow Jagajek, Nelliel du Odyssevank, and Tia Harribel, the Arrancar who once helped the Shinigami during the war between the Shinigami and the Quincies, are still the most powerful beings in Hueco Mundo.
"...Your barrier isn't working at all."
"You can't say that, Miss Jiujing. If the barrier wasn't set up, there might be more than just those three people here."
"Humph, no matter how many come, just kill them."
Wow, this Arrancar named Grimmjow looks like a battle-crazed type. He will definitely fit in well with the 11th Division.
"You can't say that, Grimmjow. You really are obsessed with fighting."
Miss Nelliel was indeed as I expected, very friendly, so friendly that she didn't even look like an Arrancar.
As for Miss Harribel, who is acquainted with Toushirou, she seems to be the strongest among the three, but also the one who speaks the least.
"Are you the Grim Reaper who met Aronillo?"
Well, although the words are few, they hit the nail on the head.
"Huh? Is this the kid?"
"Well, if you mean the guy with the sink-like head, I've seen him."
So what were they now? Companions? Not really. And I heard from Toushirou earlier that Hueco Mundo seemed to be looking for that guy too.
"Tsk, that bastard coward went out to make trouble in the world and left the mess to us."
Judging from Mr. Grimmjow's expression, we can basically rule out the possibility that they are companions.
"Hey, this brat is a Shinigami, right? What are you doing in Hueco Mundo?"
Why did the topic come to me again?
"As you can see Mr. Grimmjow, this is an experiment. We need to find a place for Miss Jiu Jing to do the rehabilitation training of the Shinigami."
"ha?"
The man's eyes were also blue. He glanced at me, and it made me feel cold up my spine, as if I was being stared at by a ferocious beast.
"...Wait, you said reconstruction? Could it be—"
Before he finished speaking, his expression and that of the other two changed.
"Yeah, didn't I say that before?" The profiteer closed his folding fan and tapped my shoulder with the handle. "This kid is the resurrected Grim Reaper."
?????
Good man, Urahara Kisuke, you just sold me out like that?!
"Urahara, you—!"
"Well, calm down, Captain Hitsugaya. I don't think they have that much ill will towards Miss Jiujing."
Even though they have no ill intentions, I am starting to feel malicious. How many schemes do you have up your sleeve, you profiteer?
I think the barrier's inability to block the Arrancar's detection of Reiatsu was intentionally left open, right? Just to allow the three of them to come through without any further delay.
"You did it on purpose."
"Yeah, yeah, it's really not."
Oh, I believed your lies!
However, the reason why unscrupulous businessmen are unscrupulous businessmen is that they have a series of schemes in their minds, in order to not only cheat themselves but also cheat others.
That's right, Urahara Kisuke had been planning to make the Arrancar my training target from the very beginning, which is why he did all these little tricks.
However, this is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that they actually agreed in the end!!
Miss Harribel, the quiet and seemingly nosy lady, nodded almost simultaneously with Nellielu. Mr. Grimmjow, on the other hand, seemed rather uninterested, and finally, after being pushed directly by Urahara Kisuke, he reluctantly agreed.
“…I feel like I’ve been through a lot today.”
"Tsk! I got tricked by that Urahara guy."
On the way home, I was quite daydreaming, but the people around me were in a low mood, which made me laugh.
"Never mind, the main purpose has been achieved, right?"
Yes, Urahara Kisuke's goal is to find a suitable training opponent who can suppress Kagutsuchi.
Toushirou would certainly be suitable, but firstly, he's the captain of the 10th Division and can't come every day. Secondly, we're too familiar with each other, which wouldn't be conducive to my actual combat training. As for why Urahara Kisuke didn't go on his own, he said it was because he wasn't a combatant. I believed him!
"But, uh, do you know Miss Harribel?" Although they had just had a brief conversation, the two of them were obviously more familiar with each other than the others.
"She was my opponent when Aizen invaded Karakura Town."
"Huh? Is that so?" But it seems like you two don't have any hostility towards each other?
"What else do you think?"
Well, there seems to be no other reason? But I just care!
I lost my focus and the spiritual power gathered under my feet dissipated in an instant. I lost my balance and almost fell from a high altitude.
"Hey! Be careful!" Fortunately, Dong Shilang reacted quickly, "You, don't make mistakes with such small things."
“Hey hey hey…”
It was so embarrassing, I could never tell him that I was distracted by something like this.
"Is it really okay not to have those swords with you?"
The night breeze brushed against my cheek, bringing a touch of coolness. "Maintaining the stability of space and time was their original mission, and mine as well." And now, to allow me to continue my studies in the real world, they've chosen to return to Honmaru to continue their mission.
Toushirou said nothing.
"Okay, I admit I have selfish motives. Although they are Tsukumogami, they won't be hurt much if their true bodies are not in the world, but after the last monster attack, I'm afraid."
We stopped and stood on a tall building, looking down at Tokyo at night.
"Especially powerful people, Hollows and Shinigami, even monsters, even myself... I don't want to take any risks until everything is under control."
The wound Kokumi sustained is still fresh in my mind, and although it's healed now, I don't even dare to tell Ayuo or the other swordsmen of Toushirou's household.
But in fact, the biggest uncertainty is myself.
"I want to go back to Soul Society." Without waiting for a response, I continued, "The sooner the better... because I have something to ask the Kyōryū Band's captain."
Why did the old man suddenly find me back then? What about the flame of Kagutsuchi? Why did I come back to life? What role does the Time Government play in this? There are so many questions that all need someone to answer.
"you……"
In just a few seconds, I didn't have the courage to look at Dong Shilang and see his expression.
A soft sigh came to my ears.
However, at this moment, a sudden explosion interrupted our conversation.
"What's wrong?!"
Toshiro and I looked at each other, and without any prior agreement, we dropped the previous topic, jumped up, and rushed towards the direction where the spiritual pressure was fluctuating.
The wind was no longer gentle, and a burning smell lingered in the air. I could even feel my spiritual pressure being somewhat disrupted by this strange flow of elements.
"Be careful, there's a fight going on nearby."
"yes!"
As he finished speaking, the roof of a tall building appeared before our eyes. We saw the dust stirred up by the battle and the devastated scene.
There was a man lying next to the big hole on the top floor, and in front of him stood a petite figure with long golden hair and red wings.
"flame!"
"Sixty-two Hundred-Step Railing of the Binding Path!"
The moment the beam of light shot out, the winged figure swiftly dodged. Toushirou and I took the opportunity to rush into the scene.
"Huh? Who are you?"
The voice was sweet, sounding like that of a little girl who knew nothing about the world.
"Here's my question, who are you? And why are you fighting here?"
Dong Shilang stood in front. Since the opponent's strength and position were unclear, he was the first to negotiate with the opponent.
As for me, I came to the injured person who was lying on the ground, covered in blood.
"It's alright—huh?!"
"Hmm...it seems like I'm not destined to die."
The man lying on the ground was wearing a black kimono, but he looked much more disheveled than the last time I saw him.
"It's such an honor to be rescued by a beautiful girl. It's not impossible for me to marry you, Miss Yan."
It turned out to be the monster called Black Rose!
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Black Rose is a scumbag (hey). He is just talking nonsense. His type is not someone like Homura.
Hahahaha Urahara Kisuke is a treacherous businessman. His purpose is actually to attract the Arrancar to help and continue to conduct in-depth investigations.
However, when I was writing this chapter, I suddenly realized that the way of death represented by Harribel is "sacrifice", and Homura actually sacrificed her life for others in her previous life. Thinking of this, the two of them actually got along somewhat subtly.
Also, while the original story doesn't reveal the exact method of death for Nero, judging by her Antelope Knight liberation mode and personal creed, I think it's likely related to the key words of sacrifice, devotion, and chivalry.
