Death god, my Zanpakuto is a bit trendy

"It's only been half a day, and my physical fitness has improved visibly. Although there is no obvious instant change when taking it, it is a world of difference compared to my previous situation."

For the whole afternoon, Qingren was experimenting with advanced ghost arts that he had never tried before.

It's not that he didn't want to before, but the training of advanced ghost arts put a lot of load and pressure on the body. Qingren's physical fitness can't hold on to release a complete advanced ghost art.

But now, the situation has finally changed.

"Very good."

Qingren's spiritual pressure has declined slightly, but it can still be maintained at the level of seventh-level spiritual power-when Qingren was tested half a year ago, he was no longer a beginner in seventh-level spiritual power. Before taking Tianru Pills, Qingren was about to touch the level of sixth-level spiritual power-in contrast, his physical fitness, especially his recovery ability, was greatly enhanced:

When using enhanced white thunder in the morning, Qingren's body still felt paralyzed and uncomfortable, but now the symptoms have disappeared.

"Although I haven't had the chance to come into contact with the high-level ghost arts above number 75, the high-level ghost arts above number '60+' are enough for me to study for a long time... Learning and mastering are two different things."

In the ghost arts book of Ise Nanao, the highest-level ghost arts recorded only go up to number 75, and those above can only be seen in various secret collections.

Haruto is used to mastering a few ghost arts.

So.

When choosing high-level ghost arts, he still continued this choice: "Hado No. 63·Thunder Roar Cannon", a high-level ghost art of the same lightning type that is "super-enhanced" on the basis of white thunder; "Bind No. 63·Lock Bar Lock Binding", a high-level ghost art of the same spirit lock type that is "super-enhanced" on the basis of this rope.

Haruto is also a latent obsessive-compulsive disorder patient. The numbers of the broken way and the binding way are the same...As long as there is a choice, Haruto will almost certainly do this--

Of course, I'm joking.

In fact, it's mainly because the other ghost arts with numbers "60+" do not quite meet Haruto's current needs.

For example, the number 67 "Thunder Powder", although it is also a lightning-type ghost technique, it is more inclined to group attack ability than the common strong attack of the lightning type, and it also has some concealment function.

Too many effects make each aspect not very strong.

Another example is the number 61 "Six-Staff Light Prison", although it looks very handsome when Byakuya uses it, in fact, this move is very easy to miss: if the control of space and distance is slightly wrong, the binding technique that consumes a lot of spiritual pressure will fall directly into the air.

For a guy like Haruto who has such high requirements for style, if he is not really good at it, he would have chosen the six-stick light prison long ago.

At this time.

"Gurgle~"

"......"

Haruto touched his empty stomach awkwardly.

"Don't think about these for now."

"It's not so easy to master the advanced ghost technique. Let's find a place to fill our stomach first. I accompanied Byakuya to practice the first release at noon, and I haven't even eaten lunch yet."

That being said.

Although the gate of the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts was still open, the free academy cafeteria was closed.

If Haruto wanted to fill his stomach, he had to go to Rukongai to find a place to eat... The prices inside the Soul Society were too outrageous.

However.

"I seem to have forgotten something?"

"..."

"Nanao!"

Haruto suddenly remembered.

Although Ise Nanao went to the Maou Auditorium to ask for an autograph from Yamamaru Lisa, it didn't take much time. Nanao would definitely return to the Grand Martial Arts Arena to watch the battle. Haruto was in a hurry to get away from the crowd's sight, and rushed out with a not-so-smooth instant step. When he arrived at the dormitory, he was entangled by Byakuya.

"I agreed to study Hadō with her..."

Haruto borrowed Nanao's Kidō book on the condition that he helped Nanao with Kidō-related training: as a deal between the two and the way they get along now, it has lasted for several years.

Especially after the annual assessment, the two would take time to review it.

Although the situation today is somewhat special, since no one has raised any objections, it should be done as usual.

"This will cost money again."

Haruto rubbed his forehead and walked towards the main gate of the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts.

Southeast of the Soul Society.

At the junction of the noble district and the 7th Division barracks is a very prosperous shopping street in the Soul Society. The more famous stores in the Soul Society have branches here, and some even set up their headquarters here.

As night falls, the colorful lights begin to illuminate the shopping street brilliantly and brightly.

Haruto's goal is the mobile ramen stand "Ohmae Kagura Ramen" opened at the corner of the shopping street.

As the name suggests, this is the property of the Ohmaeda family, and the owner of this ramen stand is the younger brother of the current 2nd Division Vice Captain Ohmaeda Nozomi: Ohmaeda Kamikaku - the second son of the middle-level noble Ohmaeda family, a tall man with a crew cut and huge in every aspect like his older brother.

"Wow."

The curtain painted with white waves was slowly opened, and Haruto walked into the ramen shop he had not visited for a long time.

"Boss!"

"Tap."

The metal and the oil-soaked wood collided with a pleasant sound.

There were obviously no other customers in the store, so Haruto randomly found a seat to sit down - the four high-legged round stools close together were quite crudely made, and they didn't look like props that could be used by a shop owner at his level - they were square and square. The upright and golden young judge was placed firmly on the bar table by Haruto.

"Have a grand slam!"

"oh?"

Haruto's voice did attract the store manager's attention, but the latter's voice clearly didn't sound very concerned.

"Kid, where did you get this?"

Ohmaeda Kamiichiraku picked up the small gold medal on the table, which was not much bigger than his fingernails.

"Master Byakuya, I'm treating you to a treat."

Haruto replied casually.

This valuable gold coin was the coin Byakuya used to announce the start of the competition.

"...Tsk."

Upon hearing Haruto's answer, the store manager Ohmaeda curled his lips in confusion.

It was obviously not the first time he had dealt with Haruto.

"Say it."

Jin Xiaopan fell into the pocket of Omaeda store manager.

The huge body moved flexibly in the small store, and the work on hand quickly became busy.

"What information do you need this time?"

The price of this ramen shop is more expensive than that of the surrounding shopping streets, but the "goods" sold are definitely worth the money - to say that the agencies with the best intelligence in Seireitei, the 2nd Division and the 8th Division are naturally Well deserved; because of the existence of covert maneuvers, the Ohmaeda family always has access to some special businesses and channels.

Earn profits through these...

It is also part of the "hometown business".

certainly.

These things definitely cannot be left to the hands of Nozomi Ohmaeda, as the head of the family and the deputy captain of the second division. At this time, the importance of his younger brother is reflected.

"I want to know the information about the priest Ise's family."

Haruto said directly.

"not enough."

Manager Omaeda shook his head as expected, but the work at hand did not stop at all - regardless of whether the information transaction was completed or not, the "Grand Slam" of Kagura Ramen must not be missed... This is the basis of transactions in the store.

"Just tell me the addresses of the two elderly people who adopted Ise Nanao."

"What do you want this for?"

If you are a professional information dealer, you should not ask about the purpose of the information... However, Omaeda Kamichiraku, the store manager, is obviously just interested, not to mention Haruto, a junior, has accepted his love, so Omaeda The store manager felt no psychological burden at all when asking.

"I missed my appointment this afternoon."

Haruto scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly.

"If possible, I plan to visit as early as possible, otherwise I will always feel stuck in my heart and feel uncomfortable."

"......That's it?"

Store manager Ohmaeda narrowed his eyes and asked incredulously.

He knew that the kid in front of him was not rich, and a small gold medal was enough for him to stay at home in the Seireitei for a long time; but now, this guy came to him just to "not break the appointment" and buy expensive things. intelligence--

"That's it."

Haruto nodded first, and then added:

"I insist on giving other reasons..."

Haruto looked at the store manager Ohmaeda sincerely.

Although when he saw it for the first time, Omaeda, the store manager, just like ordinary people, thought that Haruto's eyes were narrowed because he was about to draw a knife to kill him, but after such a long period of dealing with him, he was able to stop narrowing his eyes. There is enough smile captured in the gap.

"Of course it's because your ramen is attractive enough."

"......snort!"

Store manager Omaeda snorted out of his nose very proudly.

"You can talk."

One minute and a quarter later, the sea bowl "Duang", which was as big as an adult's head, hit the table in front of Haruto with a "Duang" sound.

"Maehye!"

Pork bone ramen.

The rich and thick soup base is paired with mountains of barbecued pork, and generous portions of chopped green onion, bean sprouts and seaweed slices——

This is the grand slam of Ohmae Kagura Ramen, a super ramen that can satisfy big eaters all day long.

"..."

Looking at the Grand Slam in front of him, Haruto, who had been eating lightly for almost half a year, couldn't help but swallow hard.

It wasn't because he was greedy.

The food in the cafeteria of Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy is not bad at all. Regardless of the portion size or taste, it can definitely meet the general needs of students.

However, the food provided in the cafeteria does not have any special effects after all, and it is still very different from the bowl of super ramen in front of you:

Eating is a way for a Shinigami to replenish his spiritual pressure. Injecting spiritual pressure into food was not a pioneering move by Captain Hikifune.

The real difficulty lies in whether the injected spiritual pressure can be absorbed in large quantities by the eater.

Before hearing about Captain Hikifune Kiryu from Byakuya today, Haruto had no idea of ​​​​thinking about it, but when he thought of Ohmae Kagura Ramen, he realized this "Second Master Ohmaeda" The great thing about:

The amount of spiritual energy contained in the ramen he made was far higher than any other food Haruto had ever eaten.

Such ability...

Whether it was learned from Captain Hikifune Kiryu or developed by oneself, it can be said to be quite abnormal.

The Omaeda family is able to stand firm as a subsidiary family of the Shihouin family with so much wealth. They are quite capable.

"I'm going!"

Two competitions plus half a day of training.

Although Haruto was not starving, he was already hungry.

Seireitei, southeast of the noble district.

This place is close to the edge of Seireitei. Compared with other noble residential areas, it is sparsely populated. However, because the environment is relatively quiet, many elderly people who don't care about noble affairs because of their age live here in seclusion.

Of course.

Considering that they are not middle-level nobles, they don't even have the qualifications to own a house in Seireitei. Those who are qualified to live here in seclusion are basically upper-level nobles.

"Hadao 31: Red Fire Cannon!"
