Death god, my Zanpakuto is a bit trendy

"Who would be anxious..."

"It's probably only the upper nobles of the same level."

Haruto finished his analysis.

"..."

"Ah~"

Bai Ya sighed.

"Your judgment is exactly the same as your father's."

Although he didn't show it, there was indeed admiration in his voice.

"So?"

"The old man shouldn't need my help to analyze and prove it, right?"

Kuchiki Sojun is now the brain of the Kuchiki family. Although Haruto thinks he is not stupid, he should not be comparable to this person - even this is based on his "foresight" and the information provided by the other party.

And in the eyes of the Kuchiki family, Haruto's real value is his potential in the way of ghosts. Being too smart is not easy to master.

"Of course not."

Bai Ya shook his head.

"Then how can you come out tonight?"

It's said to be related to him, but he doesn't need his help... With Kuchiki Ginrei's temperament, he won't let his grandson come out just for fun.

"Guess what?"

"......You can't ask me to be your thug, right?"

"......"

Bai Ya chose to remain silent, and his non-answer was the best answer.

"Fuck, are you serious?!"

Haruto couldn't help but swear.

Fortunately, he lowered his voice in time, otherwise the transformed Qu Guang would have been shattered on the spot.

"You know, my father is being closely watched by other families now, and there are not many secret troops that can be used."

"So let us go to deal with the upper nobles?"

Although times have changed, as long as they can still stand in the position of upper nobles, it means that there is a high probability that there is a captain-level Shinigami in this family.

Haruto and Byakuya, the two of them have a tacit understanding, and they have a chance to kill the more powerful vice-captains together.

But if they meet a captain-level——

Don't even think about running away, and you won't even find the body after death.

"How is it possible!"

"...Don't you dare to stop talking and breathing heavily."

Haruto needs to rely on the Kuchiki family for many things. With Byakuya's identity as a friend, there is no more money worth investing in the Kuchiki family.

Moreover, at Haruto's current level, he doesn't care about ordinary things, and the Kuchiki family will not easily give out the things they like.

This is a "common problem" of the great nobles, and it won't change much even if Kuchiki Sojun takes the throne.

So.

When the Kuchiki family needs it, Haruto still needs to prove his political inclination and practical value.

"You are just guessing, okay?"

From Byakuya's tone, you can tell that this guy must be doing it on purpose...Baiyuya is the second person in Soul Society who knows him best.

"Tonight's goals are two."

"Say it."

Baiyuya has changed a lot in the past six months. Although his temperament has not been completely restrained, he has become more calm and reliable.

"One is to go to the Mikazuki family to protect Munechika."

Baiyuya is not in a hurry tonight.

This means that the Kuchiki family has already known the other party's action time.

The more Haruto thought about it, the more he felt that this was a test for Byakuya's training during this period... He was just a student accompanying the prince to study.

"... What about the other one?"

Haruto didn't have any special feelings for Munechika, but the latter had just injured him during the day, so he felt a little bit like Gandhian when he rushed over.

"Holding an auction for the sale of two kinds of medicine."

When he said this, Haruto could clearly see the light in Byakuya's eyes.

"Don't you have to consider the superior nobles behind them?"

"I'm going to teach them a lesson."

"... I see."

The Kuchiki family also wanted to establish their prestige through this - although the main figures of the family were targeted by the Tsunayashiro family because of what happened half a year ago, the Kuchiki family still had a lot of ways to let the people below know what a "great noble" is.

"Byakuya."

The two of them were not slow, and they were almost at the first destination in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Tomorrow I have to take the fifth grade to the human world for soul burial practice."

"So?"

Byakuya has grown a lot in the past six months, but the way the Kuchiki family thinks makes him a little uncomfortable with Haruto's brain circuits.

"I can't stay up late tonight."

"...I understand!"

Bai Ya imitated Haruto in the past and made an "OK" gesture.

"I understand shit, tell me the specific time of action!"

Haruto wanted to kick Bai Ya's butt, but he was prepared and dodged with instant step.

"You have ten minutes, I will start in an hour."

The modified light shattered because of Bai Ya's movement.

"...Half an hour."

Haruto stretched out a finger and then slowly pressed down half of it.

"Huh?"

"I will go over to help after I finish my work."

Haruto said firmly, as if he really wanted to stick his neck out for his brother.

"Actually, I..."

Bai Ya was about to refuse, but Haruto "confessed" him nakedly.

"Don't think you can eat alone."

"...Okay."

"Tick."

The dark clouds of the same color as the night came quietly.

The rain that was supposed to arrive tomorrow fell on the streets of Seireitei in advance.

Volume 1: 049, Carrying a Knife on a Rainy Night

Same night, at the Mikazuki family.

In the main hall which was not grand.

The three silent middle-aged men made the atmosphere in the room a little weird.

The one who sat on the chair was the current head of the Mikazuki family, Munemori; the one standing next to the chair with a slightly thin figure was Munemori's second brother, Munehata; the one who knelt on the ground with a sturdy figure but with his hands tied behind his back was the third brother, Munehata.

"......"

"Munehata."

As the head of the family, Munemori spoke first.

"After Dean Mitarai's visit, I took Munechika to the Maou Medical Center."

Before Munehata could refute, Munemori continued to add.

"It was not the Seireitei Clinic that we often go to."

"......"

After saying this, Munehata knew that the matter was exposed.

"Munechika's injury was not caused by the boy named Haruto. Not only did Dean Mitarai tell me this, I also sent people to the Maou Spiritual Academy to verify it... That's right, they didn't use our own family members."

Munemori's expression was cruel and complicated.

"Those medicines..."

"Why do you want to harm Munechika?"

"..."

The sound of raindrops hitting the window gradually became louder, and the silence in the house became disturbing.

"Brother."

Munebata, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at his brother.

"Find a way to improve Munebata's strength, let him avenge his previous shame and revive the reputation of my Sankazuki family. Isn't this the task you gave me?"

"That's right."

Munemori nodded.

"The reputation of my Sankazuki family is only worth a mere sixty gold!?"

Munemori was interrupted rudely by his third brother as soon as he finished speaking.

"This is already the last operating fund of the family."

Munemori frowned and said, he still couldn't fully understand Munebata's thoughts.

"......That's the problem, brother."

"All the funds?"

Munebata asked with a sneer.

"In order to free Munechika's Zanpakutō, the family spent so much to get the qualification to watch the secret."

"Brother, you won't forget it so quickly, right?"

The veins on Munehata's bound arms were exposed, enough to prove his indignation.

"Two hundred gold!"

"This is the family's expenses for a full ten years!"

"Now, you are going to use the money that everyone has saved and finally collected to continue spending on that useless kid-"

"Brother, don't my second brother and I have to live?"

"Or do your nephews and nieces not deserve to bear the surname of the Mikazuki family?"

Munehata madly vented his long-suppressed emotions.

"......"
