Death god, my Zanpakuto is a bit trendy

Yongyin’s works include everyone present: whether it is the delicate white flower that has just bloomed, the sunflower that symbolizes the sun and the center, or the inconspicuous tonka flower dotted in the corner——

Embedding people with flowers is the artistic conception of this work.

"What's wrong?"

Haruto poked Byakuya in the arm.

"......quite pretty."

Even Byakuya, who had been completely uninterested in these things in the past, gave a heartfelt compliment.

The happiest person of all was Nanao who received an impatiens bookmark. Nanao, who was born in July, received an impatiens flower that started to bloom in July, and it was her favorite bookmark. As a gift.

The joy on Nanao's face couldn't be suppressed at all.

Even Sentaro Tsubaki, who almost fell asleep while watching it - Kiyone was worried that this guy's reaction would ruin his sister's interest - quietly thought about it after hearing Hanataro's explanation about Tsubaki Hana next to him.

Hanataro lives up to his name and knows a lot about this.

Volume 1: 048, "Tape"

There was not a moment of mourning for the flower arrangement party which lasted for nearly two hours and was immediately followed by a tea party among the girls.

Although Haruto was invited to stay, he still refused very simply: Haruto has always maintained a good sense of distance.

Kotsubaki Sentaro found a reason to leave in the middle of the flower arrangement party - he might have been able to hold on for a few hours, but after exceeding this time limit, the topic and style of the flower arrangement party were extremely inconsistent with him. It was still a bit of a torment for him.

Hanataro stayed until the flower arrangement party was over.

After all, his house is next door, no matter how timid he is. There is no need to worry about walking this distance at night.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Seireitei, which should have been filled with a cheerful atmosphere, seemed particularly quiet today; the pedestrians in twos and threes on the street not only looked in a hurry, but also tried to keep their voices down when they occasionally had conversations.

Haruto and Byakuya walked side by side on the road.

"We're talking about business here?"

The sound of the conversation between the two was not quiet, but it seemed as if the surrounding people could not hear it at all, and even their figures were invisible.

"Don't worry, they can't hear it."

Byakuya waved his arm, and the bubble-like light film enveloped the two of them, and even continued to move with their steps.

"What kind of ghost is this?"

Byakuya didn't chant just now, and Haruto couldn't tell for a while.

He poked the bubble on top of his head curiously, and the soft bubble seemed to have no defense.

"Renovated Qu Guang, enhanced version to prevent eavesdropping."

The general principle should be to use bubbles to isolate air vibrations. If the impact or decibel is too high, it will burst.

It's a very practical technique, but it's a pity that Haruto can't use it.

"...As expected of a great nobleman, he is really rigorous in his work."

After all, he usually doesn't have anything to plot with others.

"Be careful."

"You must have noticed that the area around Seireitei has not been very quiet recently."

Byakuya, who has been cultivating at home for a period of time, is indeed much calmer than before - if it were him half a year ago, the identity that said these words would definitely be the opposite of Haruto.

"really."

Haruto, who became rich overnight, has gone to Ohmae Kami Ichiraku Ramen more often in the past six months, so he has naturally gained a lot of information.

Don't mention anything else.

In the last month alone, as many as five noble families were wiped out by "Xu", including middle-level nobles.

“What’s the scoop you got?”

"No......"

Byakuya frowned.

There is more than one force operating secretly.

Even with the Kuchiki family's intelligence network, they couldn't get a glimpse of the truth.

certainly.

The most important reason was that Kuchiki Kyouga was transferred to the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force, and he stared at Kuchiki Sojun too much.

It's hard to do anything big.

"But being able to show off tonight has something to do with your performance during the day."

The Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy is not a secret institution. What happens here can reach the ears of the great nobles in less than half an hour.

"You mean the competition at the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy?"

Haruto didn't think anything of it, but if there was any movement, it was the contest between him and Munechika.

"right."

Byakuya nodded.

"That little fight...the medicine Soukika used?"

"right!"

Before the match started, Haruto suspected that Sokin had eaten something before the match, but at that time he thought it was a stimulant with serious side effects; who would have thought that this stuff would be related to the recent atmosphere of Seireitei.

"..."

After waiting for a long time without seeing Haruto, he asked again. Byakuya was a little depressed and could only speak by himself:

"According to information from the auction..."

"Don't look at me like that. The information was obtained from my father. Do you think I still have a chance to go to the auction!?"

"It seems you want to go."

Haruto replied quietly.

"Ahem!... Let's discuss it later."

Byakuya cleared his throat forcefully.

Although Byakuya said he was bored that night, after staying up for such a long boring day, it seemed that his mind was active again and he wanted to do something exciting.

"Combining the intelligence we got from several auctions."

"Several Rukongais near Seireitei are secretly chasing after two kinds of drugs: one is the 'Tenhui Pill' that allows users to quickly master ghost ways, and the other is that can greatly strengthen physical fitness in a short period of time 'Breaking Formation Pill'."

"...It sounds like Munechika has taken both?"

Hearing the effects of these two drugs, even Haruto frowned slightly.

"He's pretty lucky."

"How to say?"

"These two drugs should not be taken at the same time. No one who does this will survive more than eight hours."

"...Should Munechika be here now?"

It's not that Haruto is worried about Munechika's safety, but that Dean Mitarai has intervened in this matter, and Haruto doesn't want him to be involved - whether he can be rescued, or whether there is a noble conspiracy behind him, the difference between the two The level of danger is completely different.

after all......

Dean Mitarai is quite nice to him, but his strength is not very strong.

"It was exactly eight hours before I arrived at Kotetsu's house. His life should be safe, otherwise the spy at home would have passed on information."

Byakuya replied.

"Let's talk about it. With such a strong drug effect, the side effects cannot be weak."

If Byakuya hadn't mentioned it, Haruto actually didn't intend to come into contact with this "knowledge". After all, it's not just cats that can be killed by curiosity.

Haruto only needs to practice step by step, which is enough for him to continue to become stronger...at least he won't go crazy because he can't see the way forward for a long time.

But since Byakuya said it——

"'Tianhui Pills' will permanently consume the spirit of the user. For those who are not very strong-willed, one pill is enough to make them crazy; even for those with extraordinary talents, two or three pills are enough to turn them into idiots. man of."

"The 'Pojin Pill' will significantly damage body functions after the effect ends. Although there is no long-term effect currently visible, the loss of life span should be certain."

Byakuya told Haruto all the information he knew.

"..."

"These drugs are not for creating henchmen."

Haruto immediately discovered the key.

"Father said so too."

Byakuya was not surprised by his friend's keenness in this regard.

"...Training dead soldiers is just right."

Haruto added immediately, then turned to Byakuya and asked:

"Does a great noble need such 'inheritance'?"

"Are you looking down on the Kuchiki family?"

Byakuya glanced at Haruto with disdain.

"No, just to make sure...that is to say, there is a high probability that it is the method of the superior nobles."

"I think so."

Byakuya nodded in approval.

“But knowing it doesn’t mean being able to use it.”

Haruto rubbed his temples and spoke out his speculation bit by bit.

"Before I took Tianzhuwan, I was familiar with the high-level demons before No. 75. However, due to my limited physical fitness, as long as I don't want to be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life, it is impossible to fight a high-level demon. The Tao destroys its own future.”

"These two pills..."

"They were supposed to be one drug at first, but because the effect was too strong, they were split into two separate drugs for small-scale experiments."

"Now, with Munechika's successful experimental product, the nobles behind the scenes should soon be able to achieve a technological breakthrough."

"If nothing else happens..."

"In the future, there should be many 'high-level broken one-time consumables' in Soul Society."

Haruto made the final judgment.

According to the current intelligence, even if there is a mistake, it should not be far from the truth.

"You don't look worried at all?"

Listening to Haruto's analysis, Byakuya asked calmly.

"What's my hurry?"

"How many talents of Munechika's level appear in Soul Society every year? He spent so much effort to shoot me with a thunder cannon that can be easily erased...Which superior Can a nobleman recruit so many cannon fodder to fire a one-time thunder cannon?"

"Even if he could, before mobilizing resources on such a large scale, I'm afraid he would have been discovered by you nobles."

Haruto had personally experienced the intelligence gathering abilities of the great nobles.

"The reason why Munechika became so strong is because he put a lot of effort into Hakkake and Shunpo."

"If it were someone else..."

Haruto's brows had already relaxed, and now he chuckled and shook his head.

"Hakudō with numbers below 70 are no longer a threat to me. Take Zhan Hualun as an example. If you take medicine, you can learn the mental power of Zhan Hualun. In the future, you will be at least a chief officer of the Gotei 13th Team. As the head of the family, I can’t bear to waste it like this.”

"That is to say."

"Even if the drug research is successful, it will only be an extra group of thunder cannon shells."
