Bleach: Studying medicine cannot save Soul Society

'But...but why?'

'Shouldn't I have known a long time ago that after saying such things, I would definitely be disgusted by Mr. Cheng?'

'No one would risk their lives for the wishes of a cursed woman...'

'No, it should be said that no matter what, I can't let Mr. Cheng get close to me like this again. Once I really can't control Mr. Cheng's feelings at all, it will bring great trouble and danger to Mr. Cheng!'

'But why do I feel so sad? Why do I feel like I am about to lose something important...'

Ise Nanao's beautiful eyes, with her head lowered, overflowed with tears unconsciously, almost one drop after another, falling on the strange and familiar "Sword of the Eight Mirrors" in her arms.

.

However, Ise Nanao, who was unwilling to show the slightest weakness in front of Senju Makoto, or even show an expression that might make Senju Makoto soften, gritted her teeth and tried hard not to let out the slightest sob.

That delicate face was filled with tears.

However, at this moment, Senju Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said something with emotion.

"Nanao, your mother... is really great!"

Suddenly, Ise Nanao was stunned.

"Because I have suffered the pain of losing my lover, but I did not give in to it and took it as a matter of course. Instead, I tried my best to let you have a completely different destiny. She is really a great mother."

Senju Makoto's tone revealed respect and admiration.

In the aristocratic class within the Seireitei, which has been exposed to corruption in the past, Ise Nanao's mother can be said to be enlightened and great.

This is comparable to how Senju Makoto tried his best to prevent his daughter from having her feet bound like her mother in an old era full of ethics and customs in her previous life.

Feeling the seeming admiration, Ise Nanao raised his head unconsciously and stared blankly at Senju Makoto.

"Cheng-kun... you, you actually feel this way?"

And Senju Makoto raised his hand, gently wiped away the remaining tears on Ise Nanao's face with his thumb, and said, "Nanao, why are you crying?"

Ise Nanao, who suddenly reacted, showed a rare girlish look. She turned her head away in panic and wiped the tears on her face randomly, covering up her words with some slurred speech.

"No, no!"

"Nanao, are you worried about the curse of the divine sword that your family protects?"

Senju said sincerely, then thought for a moment and said, "Nanao, when your family tried to break the curse, did you ever think of such a possibility?"

"What's possible?" Ise Nanao asked subconsciously.

Senju Makoto said seriously, "That means...not getting married!"

??!!

Ise Nanao.

In an instant, Ise Nanao turned to look at Senju Makoto in shock, and blurted out almost instinctively. "How is that possible? Isn't that very irresponsible to men?"

Senju Makoto shook his head and spoke with some emotion.

"How could it be? Compared with the curse that may take away lives, the so-called rituals and identities are undoubtedly quite insignificant."

After a pause, a trace of depression and melancholy flashed across Qianju Cheng's face. He turned to look at the night sky outside the side window and said.

"If that man is deeply in love with you, then compared to staying with Nanao for thousands of years, what is the sacrifice of those honors worthy of hesitation?"

At this moment, Ise Nanao's face... turned red almost visibly to the naked eye.

Looks like... staying together?!

This word almost caused a critical blow that penetrated the soul of Ise Nanao, who had been extremely pessimistic and self-blaming about relationships since childhood.

This idea... In the past, Ise Nanao didn't dare to imagine it even in her dreams!

"Really...is it really possible?" Ise Nanao asked somewhat hesitantly.

"That should work, right?"

Senju Makoto's tone also showed a bit of certainty, and he continued.

"I don't know much about your family's curse. I base my judgment entirely on Nanao's description. If the curse's effective condition specifies a man who marries a woman from the Ise family, then it is likely to be effective."

However, Ise Nanao suddenly thought of something, and the red face slowly faded a bit of blood, and asked.

"But, what if Cheng-kun's judgment is wrong? Even if he doesn't get married, as long as he is deeply loved by a woman from the Ise family, he will not escape bad luck. Then..."

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"

Senju Makoto shook his head, feeling that this possibility... was extremely low.

Otherwise, the curse of the Ise family... can be completely sublimated into a conceptual weapon.

It's different from glaring at someone's pregnancy. Isn't it true that the Ise family loves someone and kills them suddenly?

Of course, what Senju Makoto did not tell Ise Nanao was that before she woke up, Senju Makoto conducted an in-depth understanding and examination of her and the "Excalibur Eight Mirror Sword".

Therefore, in Senju Makoto's judgment, rather than saying it is an invisible curse, it is better to say that the "Excalibur Eight Mirror Sword" has been invisibly emitting the influence of some special fluctuations.

It is this kind of fluctuation that causes the Ise family's newborns to be female only, and also causes non-Ise family members to have too much exposure to "The Divine Sword and the Eight Mirror Swords", which will cause the spirit body to continue to weaken until it collapses.

However, even with Senju Makoto's judgment, the fear that had been in Ise Nanao's mind since childhood could not be eliminated at once.

More importantly, Ise Nanao... didn't dare to gamble.

And Senju Makoto felt that the preparation was almost complete, so he suggested casually, "Nanao, then... maybe you can choose to give up the 'Excalibur Eight Mirror Sword'?"

As soon as these words came out, Ise Nanao fell into silence for a long time, and even the alcohol that was still playing a role in his mind seemed to be decomposed in an instant.

Immediately, Ise Nanao completely recalled the abnormal reaction that "Excalibur Eight Mirror Sword" had on Senju Makoto not long ago, raised his head and looked at Senju Makoto, and spoke slowly.

"Makoto-kun, do you know the capabilities and history of the 'Excalibur Eight Mirror Sword'?"

"I don't know." Senju Makoto blinked and replied.

"'Excalibur Eight Mirror Sword' is also known as: the sword that kills gods!"

Ise Nanao took a deep breath and slowly said the name.

"It has no effect on ordinary Shinigami, Hollows, or humans. Its birth and meaning are only to deal with gods! Once upon a time, the Soul King who created Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the present world in ancient times was also killed by the Eight Mirror Sword.

Beheaded."

"But it suddenly reacted to Mr. Cheng today. This can only show one fact..."
