Death god, my Zanpakuto is a bit trendy

Chapter 26

"Ding."

Haruto pressed his palm hard on the hilt, and the spiritual pressure that continued to flow into it made the Zanpakuto make a sharp friction sound.

Even the air was trembling slightly.

Soon, as the spiritual pressure injected into the Zanpakuto continued to overflow along the blade, the entire blade in the sheath was dyed a light golden color.

If it were not for the limitation of the sheath, it would have illuminated the entire surrounding space at this time.

Fortunately.

This strange phenomenon only lasted for a short seven seconds, and the interior of the room soon returned to calm.

As for this seven seconds...

It was the chanting time of Zanpakurin.

Although this move of the seventy-eighth ghost way can only be thrown half a meter away in Haruto's hands, he evaluated it as lacking practical value; but in specific occasions such as the flower street shop where the space is relatively narrow, it can still play a miraculous effect.

However, maintaining the completed ghost way without releasing it requires a very high understanding of the ghost way and physical fitness.

Although Haruto's physical fitness has greatly improved over time after taking the Tenju Pill, doing so will still put a burden on the body.

Moreover, in the process of maintaining the Kidō, the spiritual pressure will continue to dissipate - with Haruto's current ability, the Zanka Rin will only have 50% of its power after one minute, 20% after three minutes, and completely disappear after five minutes.

Even so.

It is still more reliable than the 1/20 power after chanting the Break: the Zanka Rin with 20% of its power is more powerful than the chanted Break version of the Thunder Cannon.

At the same time.

In order to maintain the Zanka Rin's ready state, Haruto not only needs to concentrate highly to prevent the Kidō from exploding, but also cannot use any other Break before the Zanka Rin is released.

"If the opponent is really ill-intentioned..."

Haruto held the knife in one hand and opened the sliding door of the room with the other.

"Try to finish the conversation within one minute. Even if you can't kill him, fight him and then report to the 13th Court Guardian Squad!"

Whether they are defected Shinigami or exiled nobles, their identities are not to be seen in public; compared to a Shinigami substitute like Haruto, it is clear which side the 13th Court Guardian Squad is leaning towards.

Of course.

Considering the other party's power in the Flower Street, Haruto must not seek help from the local Shinigami; although the direction is completely different from Haruto's original goal, when it comes to that time... as long as he can successfully reach the first 20 districts of Rukongai, it will be easy to get official help from the 13th Court Guardian Squad.

Although Haruto was very careful in making various preparations in action, this trip was not impulsive.

After all...

Even if he didn't find the clues at the first time, he really saw through the illusion just now.

The difference in spiritual power of one level is not an insurmountable gap.

Go up the stairs next to the room.

No one blocked the way to the fifth floor, which seemed to be a warning in advance.

The higher the stairs, the steeper the slope.

Strangely, Haruto didn't hear any imaginative sounds while climbing the stairs - it wasn't that the rooms on the third floor and above had better sound insulation, but the problem was the door curtain hanging at the partition between the stairs and the corridor:

A ghost path with sound insulation was attached to it.

"For a store on Huajie, this is a big deal."

Fully enclosed soundproof ghost paths are common, but for "ventilated" objects like door curtains to achieve the same sound insulation effect, the ghost paths arranged on them need to spend a lot of extra thought.

Haruto was no longer disturbed by these things.

The time that the Zanhua Wheel can last is so long. Since he has decided to keep the appointment, it is naturally better to reach the destination as soon as possible.

Three steps in two.

With the last part, the nearly 90-degree stairs were left behind, and Haruto took half a minute to reach the door of the fifth floor.

"......"

After a short pause.

Haruto removed his palm from his Zanpakutō, held the inconspicuous dent with both hands, and pulled the huge paper door in front of him to both sides.

"Swish--"

"Bang."

The door panel and the door frame collided lightly with just the right amount of force.

The first thing that caught his eye was the huge round screen that barely reached the top of the ceiling. On the horizontal and vertical grid patterns, there were countless lifelike butterflies drawn... like butterflies stuck in a spider web, struggling to break free.

In front of this screen.

The dark and delicate hair fell down along the shoulders and chest, and a few strands of hair even fell to the ground in a spiral.

The red-eyed woman, with one hand on her cheek and a smile of disdain, boredom and playfulness, slowly exhaled a long stream of smoke from her mouth - between the index and middle fingers of her overly slender right hand, there was a carved brass pipe that was half the length of her body.

And what matched this image almost 100% was the woman's unique outfit:

The loose kimono collar was completely open, showing the half-length female Western dress that exposed the northern hemisphere like a bra.

The overly slender waist curve was obviously the masterpiece of the waist belt - this part was completely covered by the netsuke of the kimono.

And there was an even more exaggerated part:

The tall figure can be seen even when sitting on the floor. With the right leg raised on tiptoe, the bent knee angle is compressed within ten degrees; paired with the kimono hem that is not long, even if the range of movement is slightly larger, It seems that the secrets in the shadows will be exposed.

Not only that.

A woman whose age was completely invisible - her overly mature expression was in sharp contrast to her overly young appearance, especially when Haruto discovered that the other person had a small bun tied up behind her head: this was That's why the black hair looks inconsistent in length - on her straight and slender legs, she wears a pair of fishnet stockings that should never appear in Soul Society...at least in Rukongai.

"Yo!"

The mist from the pipe gradually faded away, and the strong smell of alcohol quickly replaced the shocking visual experience brought by women.

Beside her, all kinds of wine bottles were piled up in a chaotic manner like a hill. In addition to the common sake, you can even see many bottles of beer and even whiskey: these products that obviously come from the modern world include Some were empty, and some had not been opened at all.

"Brother from the Death God Academy."

The woman gently tapped the end of the pipe on the porcelain plate placed on the tatami, and the dull ash scattered like snowflakes.

With this simple movement, the scattered clothes swayed along with the curve.

"I am Yoshiwara's boss, Ichihara Naa. I am usually called 'Da Mingxu' on the street."

The playfulness at the corner of the woman's mouth increased from five points to seven points.

"If you don't mind..."

"Give me your name?"

————

Volume 1: 017, big (social explosion) pursuit

"pursue?"

In ancient times, this title was basically equivalent to an official at the ministerial (provincial) level.

To be able to hold the title of "Daisheng", this is Ichihara Naa in front of me. One can imagine his status in the Rukongai gang.

And Haruto didn’t miss the meaning of the other party’s words:

She just called herself Yoshiwara's boss——

Rukongai is all under the jurisdiction of Seireitei, and there is no "district chief" in each area, a management similar to a local official.

In other words.

"The eldest sister who leads the entire Yoshiwara District gangs and flower streets?"

"I'm really lucky..."

Haruto also didn't expect that the store he was randomly pulled into would have such a giant Buddha hidden inside.

But having said that, if one is really at the level of sixth-level spiritual power, he is indeed qualified to rule the underground world of a region.

To know.

Ordinary Shinigami at the rank of captains are qualified to dominate the Rukongai outside the 40th ward; the lower chief is near the 20th ward and can barely be regarded as a person who can shout around; the upper chief is outside the Seireitei. The first few areas of Rukongai are easy to talk to.

But anyway.

Since the other party didn't make the first move...

"a."

Although Haruto's palm was still attached to the hilt of the Zanpakuto, he still answered Naa Ichihara's question formally.

Regardless of whether they are rivals or friends, Soul Society does have the habit of calling each other by name - according to the convention of comics, guys who are so conceited that they don't want to give out their names, except Byakuya, all seem to be miserable.

"a......"

Ichihara Naa chewed the name carefully.

"Do the students of Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy not even have a last name?"

"I'm from Rukongai East 66th District."

Haruto added.

"Oh? That's really far away."

The area of each area of Rukongai varies. The area from the most remote area, the Seventy Districts, is often more than ten times larger than the first half of Rukongai.

at the same time.

Because it is too desolate and barren, the population of Rukongai after the 70th arrondissement is less than one-tenth of these areas - although it is still called a Rukongai "street" in name, but if you want to find it in these places The settlement of souls is not an easy thing.

As District 66, which is just shy of seventy, this poor place is full of nameless people, let alone nameless people...

The name Haruto actually sounds quite casual.

"Bro."

Ichihara Naa lightly stroked her left hand on the edge of the short chair she was leaning on, and with the blue sparks bursting out, a slowly burning flame quickly lit up at the tip of her round nail.

"Bang."

The smoking gun that was about to go out was relit.

"With your talent, didn't you receive an invitation from the nobles?"

Many of the geniuses who came from Rukongai were already being targeted by nobles at all levels inside and outside the Seireitei while studying at the Shino Spiritual Academy.

The reason why Soul Society's nobles are so powerful is because among the most solid and reliable middle-level members of the Gotei 13, there are many Shinigami who have been favored by them.

Adopted as an adopted son or married into a married woman.

Although it doesn't sound very nice to say, this is indeed a two-way rush between the nobles and many students; those who are not taken seriously will naturally develop hostility towards the nobles and the "chosen ones".

The treatment Haruto received was due to the above reasons.

Moreover, he is a person without a surname, so if he accepts the nobility's solicitation, he will naturally receive the treatment of "granting sex".

"I'm not interested in minor nobles."

There was a hint of disdain hidden in Haruto's smiling answer.

A talented student like a seventh-level non-graduate of Lingwei is enough to attract the mid-level nobles to offer them an olive branch.

Since Haruto regards the backbone of these noble councils as "small nobles", he naturally has greater ambitions.

"That is to say..."

The playfulness on Naa Ichihara's face increased by seven points:

"You want to join the four nobles?"

Haruto did not answer Naa Ichihara's question, but asked back "with full sincerity":

"Manager Ichihara always talks about nobles... Which of the four nobles expelled your family from the Soul Society?"

"..."
