Death god, my Zanpakuto is a bit trendy

Skin color... It doesn't seem to be a problem to say this. After all, a skin color like Byakuya's doesn't look like he's from the Shihouin family.

Speaking of which.

After the liberation of Qingquan, I don't know if it was the influence of the souls of the Yugelan family, but Haruto's skin color has become much whiter than at the beginning. Now it can only be regarded as a light brown color that is closer to wheat... Damn, I lost inexplicably in an unimportant place!

"What is the political examination?"

"It can be simply understood as a stance."

"That's not necessary."

"?"

"With the surname Shihouin, are you still worried that you won't work for the family in the future?"

"What if there is?"

"Do you think there are other jobs for the Fourth Squadron Guard?"

"... I see."

Being favored by the Shihouin family, there would not be a big problem in terms of the noble position - as a great noble standing at the top of Soul Society, the possibility of being won over is infinitely low, and there is a special team responsible for surveillance...

There is really no need to worry about this aspect.

"By the way."

Just as Yoruichi was about to step in, he suddenly stopped as if on impulse.

"Captain, do you have anything else to add?"

"I just said that the Shihouin family has no branch family."

"Yes, I'm listening."

Haruto nodded to show that he understood.

"Considering your gender, even if you pass the grandmother's test later, your future children cannot have the surname Shihouin."

"No problem."

"......You didn't hesitate?"

"I don't care much about this kind of thing."

For many people, the seriousness of this matter should be ranked very high; especially those nobles with a long heritage, who regard the continuation of bloodline as more important than anything else.

But for Haruto...

I really can't take it seriously even if I want to.

"Oh~"

Yoichi took a small step over and patted Haruto's shoulder hard.

"Pah!"

"I really didn't make a mistake about you. You are quite to my taste in this respect."

"Okay."

Haruto gave up half of his body and let Yoichi walk in front.

"The message has been sent in advance, so let's not keep grandma waiting for too long."

————

"I agree."

"Ah?"

Haruto walked into this magnificent (crossed out) furry side hall.

He was originally wondering what kind of stubborn antique Yoruichi's grandmother would be, but after seeing it with his own eyes-

If it weren't for her slightly loli-like figure, people would believe that she was Yoruichi's sister... If I didn't use the "old man" habit, I would even believe that she was Yoruichi's sister.

It is worth mentioning that Yoruichi's grandmother, who has a house full of cats, is even older than Kuchiki Ginrei in terms of seniority. Her husband is the first generation of the Gotei 13, the captain of the second division, Shihouin Chihiro.

"So careless?"

While Haruto was still standing there, not knowing which part to be shocked about, Yoruichi had already expressed his dissatisfaction with his grandmother's "too fast".

"Chihiro, don't you think about it again?"

Yuruichi called the elders by their names directly.

I just don't know if this is the tradition of the Shifengyuan family or the unique request of this grandmother.

"Are you the head of the family and am I the head of the family?"

"Why do you come to ask for my opinion on such a small matter?"

"......"

This sentence is too familiar and can definitely be heard in many occasions. The problem is that the two parties seem to have switched sides.

"As long as this kid can pass the assessment, I will write him into the foreign family tree."

"Well..."

Shifengyuan Qianye stroked the cat in his arms while looking up and down at Haruto.

"Do you want to change your name?"

"Ah?"

"It's good if you don't change it, then I can save trouble."

Haruto was interrupted by this grandmother before he said anything.

"Yoichi."

"Hurry up and go to the martial arts field to prepare, don't delay me playing with the little things."

Shifengyuan Qianye has already started to drive people away.

"...... Haven't you cleaned up yet?"

Yoichi's face was full of disbelief, "Didn't I report it?"

"You sent me a letter and I have to prepare? You are the elder and I am the elder?"

"......"

Yueyi's silence was deafening - this person said both the positive and negative words, and anyone would have to accept this humiliation.

"I'll wait for you in the backyard."

"Swish!"

"Then I will..."

Seeing that Yueyi, who usually only teased others, was so fast, Haruto also quickly stepped back and prepared to say goodbye.

"Boy!"

Haruto stopped awkwardly after being called.

"......Do you have any other instructions?"

"Yueyi seems to be quite interested in you?"

"Just so?"

Yueyi did give him a lot of power, but Haruto was not sure whether this could be counted as interest.

"Has she teased you?"

"......Yes."

Not only did she tease him, but she also teased his own guards.

"Very good, as long as you are interested... Try your best to take down this tomboy."

"Huh?"

Haruto suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"This guy actually learned some bad things from me when he was a kid, and Yuushirou idolizes his sister so much that he has to follow Yoruichi in everything."

The old man was so honest about his dark history so quickly that Haruto felt a little uncomfortable.

"If this continues, I'm worried that both of the Sifengyuan family will be single."

"...From a noble point of view, this should be considered a good thing for me?"

"Do you have this plan?"

"No."

"Isn't that okay?"

Sifengyuan Qianye let go of the plump big orange in his arms.

"but......"

"Shouldn't there be a better candidate for this matter?"

Haruto still refused to mess with the mandarin ducks... even though he might be the beneficiary.

"You mean that kid from Kisuke?"

"ah?"

What's going on? Grandma Ye Yi, isn't this Men Qing?

"Don't count on it!"

Sifengyuan Qianye's tone sounded like he was sulking.

"Kisuke has been tinkering with all his crazy inventions all day, and he doesn't even look down on our Shifengin family's god-given weapons."

"That boy even called his Zanpakutō 'The Girl', just joking. I really hope he's interested in women, but I'm afraid he won't have to wait until I die of old age."

"..."

Facing Sifengyuan Qianye's complaints, Haruto really couldn't answer a word.

Speaking of which...

The impression given by Urahara Kisuke seems to be that he does have that tendency... Bi Jing can even make "children" out of his hands.

By the way.

Sifengyuan Qianye seemed extremely confident that he could live for a long time.

"Isn't there a saying in this world that green plums are not as good as falling from the sky?"

"Listen to my advice and I won't let you lose in the future."

Without giving Haruto a chance to refute, Sifengyuan Qianye had already waved his hand and chased him away:

"Go!"

"Boom."

"..."

Looking at the closed door of the side hall and the meowing movement inside——

"Say Ye Yi learned it from her..."

"I believe it."

————

Sifengyuan home.

In the backyard, there is a training ground.

"Isn't it nice here?"

Haruto walked through the barriers arranged around it.

"It seems like you don't need to prepare anything?"

Compared with the Kuchiki family or the underground one at the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy, the martial arts arena of the Shifengin family stands out for its durability: the big tree at the door has a history of ten thousand years, and the strength of the barrier exceeds the upper limit of an ordinary captain level. The kind that even the Lingwei Swastika may not be able to blast away.
