Death god, my Zanpakuto is a bit trendy

"Yes!"

Although he has just taken office, Amagai Suisuke should know very well what the Third Division is like now: only 30% of the team members were killed or injured in Hueco Mundo, and the captain was branded a traitor and was just killed by Haruto. .

celebrate?

Haruto doesn't think this is a good way to boost morale, and it seems inappropriate for him to go... Even if Amagai Suisuke does this with good intentions: to resolve the misunderstanding between the two parties, or to enhance his authority as captain .

"What do other people say?"

Haruto asked one more question casually.

"You are the first person named by Captain Amagai..."

Haruto originally wanted to ask if the other captains agreed to the invitation.

But since he is the first, it is estimated that the other captains are planning to see Haruto's attitude before making a decision. After all, he has just solved the problem of being the captain of the third division. It will be very embarrassing if he does not handle this matter well.

"What's the opinion of the deputy captain of the shooting range?"

The attitude of the captains is still unclear, so let’s ask the shooting range eldest sister what she thinks: As an evergreen member of the third division who has experienced several captains, she is not only Haruto’s natural ally, but she also sees things much more clearly than she does. .

"Senior from the shooting range is ill..."

Funaki got stuck for a moment, and then replied in a voice that was several decibels lower... I don't know if he was the first to be criticized by the elder sister at the shooting range.

"Forget it, I'm quite busy here, just say no to Ambei Susuke for me."

If Sentetsu from the shooting range participates, Haruto doesn't plan to go.

Although it sounds like Haruto respects Sentetsu Kiba more than Susuke Amagai... well, that is actually the case - if Asido also returns to Soul Society and becomes the captain, Haruto I will definitely attend their party.

Remember, friends of friends, favors cannot be counted this way.

"..."

"Please wait a moment, Captain Sifengyuan!"

Seeing that Haruto was about to leave, Funaki hurriedly spoke out - he didn't dare to stop Haruto directly, because he didn't know how to write the word "death".

"What else?"

Haruto slowed down his pace slightly.

"Actually, Captain Amagai asked me to bring you some news."

"explain."

"team leader......"

"The captain said he knows the details of Vastod who attacked you."

"!?"

What?

Amagai Suisuke knew that the Wastod was faked by Urahara Kisuke?

Haruto just frowned——

wrong.

Bengyu's research is absolutely top secret.

Before it was completely exposed, only the two creators Aizen and Urahara Kisuke in the entire Soul Society knew its function... Haruto was the light that had the foresight.

Can Tianbei Xiuzhu know the existence of Bengyu?

impossible.

Even the largest "supplier" Hikifune Kiryu only knew the purpose of the research and was not 100% sure that Bengyama's research would be successful.

——This person provided several key ingredients, including the Soul King's organ and the Vastod fragment (the one that Kariyashiki Kenpachi chopped off back then, and the remaining parts that did not dissipate are stored in the Seireitei Research Institute). .

So......

Is Tianbei Xiuzhu deceiving himself?

According to the written information provided by Seireitei, if Vastod from Hueco Mundo really attacked him, then he does have a say.

Why?

What is the reason why I have to let myself go no matter what?——

Just when Haruto changed his plan and was going to visit the Third Division tonight.

"Uh-huh!"

A rather steady sound of Shunpo appeared next to Haruto.

"Yo~"

"You look good, Captain Haruto."

The young man with silver hair came over with a hearty smile - I don't know when, all the Shinigami, regardless of their status, started calling Captain Haruto.

"Good afternoon, Jiro."

Gin Ginjiro.

The four members of Division 6 who Haruto met at the graduation ceremony and gave him a silver dragonfly: The Gin Gin family is to the Kuchiki family, just like the Ohmaeda family is to the Shifengin family, they will never The traitorous retainer.

Haruto also has a good personal relationship with Gin Ginjiro.

"What news did Byakuya ask you to bring again?"

When the Hell Butterfly is not used, Gin Ginjiro is basically the one who helps Byakuya pass the message - this person is ranked fourth in the 6th division, purely because the previous ones are a bit too strong, and Gin Ginjiro's own ability is second to none. He is considered outstanding among the captains.

He is especially good at Shunpo.

"No, it's Lord Yinling."

"...What happened?"

Kuchiki Ginrei will not contact Haruto casually, otherwise Byakuya's vital lubricating effect will be wasted; if it comes to needing Kuchiki Ginrei to "ask" Haruto to do something, then the level of trouble can be imagined. Know.

"If possible, could you please come to Kuchiki's house with me?"

"good."

Haruto had no reason to refuse, even though he was now a member of the Shifengyuan family.

"There are three seats in the boat."

Haruto said to Funakiri who was waiting next to him - when Gin Ginjiro arrived, he stood silently beside him: Although the status of the chief officer is higher than Gin Ginjiro, he is not the top chief officer who was born in the noble team. Offended.

"You also saw the situation."

"It's definitely not going to work today."

Haruto glanced at the sunlight that was about to change from strong to weak.

"if it is possible......"

"I will go to the Third Division to ask Captain Amagai for advice."

————

In the evening, Kuchiki's house.

"what's the situation?"

It's true that most members of the Kuchiki family like the color white, but with so much white surrounding them, one can see the problem.

"..."

After arriving at Kuchiki's house, the ever-changing smile on Gin Ginjiro's face faded a bit.

"My mission has been completed. The rest should be left to Master Byakuya."

The front entrance of Kuchiki's house.

Haruto had already seen Byakuya, who was wearing a solemn black formal suit.

"Thanks a lot."

"No...that's all I can do."

Leave this sentence behind.

Gin Ginjiro bowed slightly to Haruto and left without looking back... He did not walk into the door of Kuchiki's house as usual.

"..."

"Byakuya."

Haruto walked towards Byakuya.

Ever since Byakuya went into seclusion to practice Swastika, he hadn't seen his friends for a while.

"a."

Byakuya made a very formal invitation.

In Haruto's impression, the blustering Byakuya had never taken etiquette so seriously.

"What happened?"

Haruto took off the deputy captain's armband and arranged his clothes very carefully.

Something happened to someone in the Kuchiki family, and there was a high probability that he knew it, otherwise the atmosphere would not be so solemn...

The seriousness between Byakuya's brows could not be dispelled at all.

"Sister-in-law, something happened."

The two crossed the threshold side by side.

Candlelight, white silk, and ghost priests who recite scriptures - these things were first taken care of by nobles like the Kurutani family. In recent years, due to the severe decline in funeral family members, the ghost priests took over this matter. item of work.

"Miss Feiyin?"

Although she has been married for many years, Feiyin likes to be called Miss instead of Mrs.

"Yes."

"...Condolences."

This person is indeed an acquaintance of Haruto.

Although I haven't met him more than ten times, he left a very deep impression on me, and his cheerful personality rivals Yoruichi's.

"The time for crying is over in the morning."

It was strange to hear such words from Byakuya, but in an occasion like today, it seemed extremely normal.

"I'll send you a bouquet of flowers."

Haruto glanced in the direction of the main hall of the Kuchiki family.

"The funeral has ended a long time ago. At this time, the memorial hall has been closed, and the ghosts and Taoists who are performing the procedures cannot enter."

Byakuya......

No, it was probably Kuchiki Ginrei who rejected the request.

"Then Mr. Yinling invited me over..."

"Something happened to Xianghe?"

This is the worst and most realistic conjecture.

Kuchiki Hibiki's character is quite pure. To survive the intrigues between the Kuchiki family and the nobles, the support of Kuchiki Hirone is crucial.

——That is the backing and harbor of his soul.

During the years in the Hueco Mundo Expedition, Kuchiki Hibiki's personality must have changed a lot because of the absence of Scarlet Sound.

As a result, I had to face the death of my lover when I came back.

It would be strange if nothing happened.

"..."

"It seems I guessed it right."

Haruto, whose guess was verified, had a somewhat troubled expression on his face.

"...Grandpa will tell you when you get to the side hall."
