Death god, my Zanpakuto is a bit trendy

"Um......"

"Of course, the laboratory will not allow others to peek in casually, but the Great Spirit Book Corridor is more like a part of the rules of Soul Society, and there is definitely no way to completely block it."

"But don't worry, if you want to retrieve the information I have here through the Great Spiritual Book Corridor... the keyword search will probably take a long time."

The Great Spirit Book Corridor is all-encompassing, but it would take a lot of time and energy to accurately search for the information in it.

With Hikifune Kiryu's words, as long as the Tsunayashiro family didn't already have a plan to eradicate him, Haruto should be able to delay it for a while.

"That's good."

Haruto also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You have nothing else to add?"

"Miss Kiryu, I admit that your craftsmanship is indeed exquisite, but no matter how capable you are... why don't you give me feedback after I use it for a while?"

"...Alright."

Hikifune Kiryu thought for a moment and did not continue to ask.

"Your requirements are basically fulfilled."

"it's time to......"

Hikifune Kiryu made a round gesture.

"ah?"

"Of course it's money."

Hikifune Kiryuu casually pulled it in mid-air, and the spiritual pressure of Tentate Kongra was quickly woven into a data stream like a virtual screen.

"Let me see......"

"Uh-huh."

Hikifune Kiryu nodded to himself.

"You bought a lot of things at Cai Hui's place. Speaking of which, even those shabby rags can be sold for so much money——"

"Surgery... no, you won't be stingy with the cost of this meal, right?"

————

five minutes later.

Haruto walked out of Hikifune Kiryu's laboratory with his upper body naked.

"Ala?"

He originally planned to sneak away immediately, but after all, he still had the "access card" that needed to be returned to Hikifune, so he had to go through the main entrance.

"Sister actually left a pair of pants for you?"

As soon as Sae opened her mouth, Haruto knew that Hikifune Kiryu was definitely a habitual offender... The Seireitei Research Institute was not that large to begin with, and the laboratory filled with ghosts was probably her fault. Got it from the friendly forces of Gotei 13.

"..."

Haruto looked startled and said seriously:

"You misunderstood, I need it for practice."

"What spiritual practice requires being shirtless?"

"Um......"

Haruto lowered his figure and got close to Cai Hui's ear.

"Never tell anyone about the Sifengyuan family's secrets."

"Oh~"

Cai Hui nodded with understanding.

"But if you practice the secrets of the Shifengyuan family, why do you come to your sister for help?"

"Of course it's a food supplement."

"But Haruto, after you finished patching it up, you turned into skin and bones, right?"

"..."

Haruto really had nothing to say.

Let's just go shirtless... One thing is right, because spiritual pressure can be released anywhere in the body, so in a battle that is not a crushing round, the death armor will most likely become a burden: spiritual pressure The enhanced Death Tyrant costume has not as high a defense as Haruto's skin, and will tear off his clothes if he puts any damage on it.

Not wearing it also saves you the trouble of replacing it.

pity......

These explanations are really weak.

In the end, almost all of Haruto's finances were used by Hikifune Kiryu to pay for meals, leaving him with only a few gifts from the four nobles:

Jiejie box, silver dragonfly (glasses), Yang Yanzhao.

and a silver cross star medal used as a burial commemoration.

It was also the first time for Haruto to know that the Kagero Edict seized from Sato Tsunayayo was actually made by the Kuchiki family.

This object was even made by Kuchiki Ginrei asking Hikifune Kiryu to make it, but it became the opponent's trophy during the conflict with the Tsunayashiro family.

besides.

The soul gold that Haruto had accumulated over the past year, including the giant phantom trap brought from the 13th division, and the spiritual bones obtained from the land mirror valley, all went into Hikifune Kiryu's pocket.

About the spirit corpse——

"The idea of ​​​​this thing is very interesting. Let me study it for a while and then return it to you."

Hikifune Kiryu said so.

Her words also proved from the side that the value of the spiritual bones should be several levels higher than other items, otherwise there would be no need to make a special commitment.

As for Haruto's discarded upper body clothes, it didn't take a guess to tell that it must have been used by Hikifune Kiryu to study his own spiritual pressure.

"Side effects!"

"I've said it's a secret technique, so it's definitely not something everyone can master."

Haruto, who returned in embarrassment, could only remain confused.

"Oh~"

The soft and drowsy voice sounded like he was about to fall asleep.

"Then do you want to buy anything before you leave?"

"...Not today."

Haruto flipped through the seam of his pants. The inside-out pockets were specially made by Yongyin according to Haruto's preference.

"I didn't bring any money."

"Well......"

Before she finished speaking, after hearing that she didn't need to work, Cai Hui staggered and fell asleep standing up.

"..."

Haruto looked around and carefully closed the cabinet door.

"well."

have to say.

The sun combined with the cool breeze can really make people fall asleep.

Lack of spring, sleepiness in autumn, hibernation in summer -

This description is really suitable for Ye Zhou Caihui.

“It’s really rewarding.”

Haruto walked out of the gate of Seireitei Research Institute.

"The Soul King's Soul Sleep."

Haruto rubbed his belly and deleted from his mind the impulse he had just seen when he saw Big Wave. After merging this thing, it was already difficult to control when he saw Hikifune Kiryu's true form. He didn't expect that he was almost here. Falling short of success.

Fortunately, his perseverance was better.

"Although there is a possibility of being targeted by Aizen, Tsunayashiro or even the Invisible Empire, the growth rate of this thing is really too strong."

"Before I was promoted to the third level of spiritual power, I already had the means to fully fight against the captain level. Even if I was officially promoted to the third level of spiritual power, my nearly unlimited spiritual pressure reserve would allow me to easily do one-to-many."

Even the smallest Spirit King organ can bring about earth-shaking changes in a certain ability of the holder.

"This is still a prototype that has not been reactivated."

"If I can accumulate enough souls..."

Haruto thought for a while and gave up this plan for the time being.

"It may not be possible in a short period of time. There is no reason to go to Hueco Mundo yet. It is too dangerous to actively join the Hueco Mundo Expedition."

"As for hunting and harming humans..."

"I'm not a villain."

Haruto wants to become stronger, but he must not become stronger without a bottom line - just look at Shuugai Sugo who was killed without even mentioning it by Hikifune Kiryu. You will know that those who do evil will be killed. The words are not a joke.

If he dared to do this, he might be the one who would be chopped down by Ichigo...or sacrificed to a monk to make a wedge.

“This time there is a real future to look forward to.”

Haruto put his hand on the hilt of his Zanpakutō.

"and......"

"For me, the biggest outcome was actually confirming that hypothesis."

It lights up with a light green stream of light.

Another phantom of a Zanpakuto, like Qingquan's "soul", appeared in Haruto's palm for a few seconds and then disappeared again.

"A pure god of death cannot give birth to such power."

This sword doesn't even have a prototype yet, but it is definitely the first Zanpakutō in Soul Society that was not forged by Wang Yue's hands - because the part used for the material does not come from the Shinigami, but from another world. soul.

This power belongs to...

"Full manifestation technique."

————

Half a month later.

Division 13 library.

In the innermost quiet room, Haruto is sitting on the futon with his five hearts in the sky, and the clear spring in the sheath is lying quietly on his lap.

beside him.

From bamboo slips to bound volumes, records and books from different eras were unearthed and piled aside in a slightly messy manner.

The news Haruto got from it was good or bad:

As the acting Shinigami, Ginjo Kugo does have relevant records, and his Fullbringing Technique partners have been surrounded and suppressed by the Tsunayashiro family.

——Just like Kiyone joined the fourth team, the future direction of Soul Society has branched out, and things that should have happened more than a hundred years ago have been brought forward.

this means.

Dowagen Aura, who possesses the Soul King Lock Festival, was born in this world, and has even been taken under the command of Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

but.

It's not like Haruto doesn't have a chance.

Tsunayashiro Tokinada was only a disciple of the branch family, and he was very low in the order of succession.

Although at this point in time, Tsunayashiro Tokitanada was not banned because of his murder of Utamasakata, which caused the Tsunayashiro family's reputation to plummet; but he also became a shame to the family because he was removed from his disciples by Yamamoto Shigekuni. .

so.

Tsunayashiro Tokinada basically has no say in the family.
