hero?it must be me

"Of course it was brought back to the Soul Realm, didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

Urahara Kisuke said with a smile.

In an instant, the memory of when he was knocked down clearly appeared in front of Ichigo.

"..."

That complex expression showed Ichigo's changing mood at the moment.

"...What will happen to Rukia?"

"Well, most likely they will be sentenced to death."

"Varied--"

"Want to save her?"

Kisuke Urahara looked at Ichigo with a smile.

"But now that you have lost the power of the god of death, let alone fighting, you don't even have the means to go to the soul world."

Ichigo stiffened his neck and gritted his teeth, but didn't know what to say for a while, and finally he could only lower his face and clenched his fists.

"But it doesn't matter, if you want to go to the soul world, you can't help it, I have it."

Hearing Kisuke Urahara's words, Ichigo's originally downcast eyebrows and eyes suddenly seemed to light up.

"But you have to agree to one condition before I will send you to Soul Soul Realm."

"you say!"

"For the next ten days, you must stay with me and learn how to fight."

"Do not make jokes!"

Ichigo stared: "How can I afford to wait for ten days! Rukia is—"

While talking, the excited Ichigo wanted to grab Urahara Kisuke's shoulder.

"—Boom!"

"cough!"

However, as soon as the two sides made contact, Ichigo's body was thrown onto the tatami in a way that was not considered gentle for the wounded.

Coughing, Ichigo was about to stand up with pain all over his body when a crutch was aimed at his head.

"Even if you go to the Soul Soul Realm now, you are just going to die. What kind of place do you think it is? You have been beaten so helplessly in this world, what can you do if you go to the Soul Soul Realm?"

On the crutch, the sharp point formed by the gathering of spiritual power hangs above the tip of his nose with a slight difference.

Kisuke Urahara's face had a serious look that was rarely seen at this moment, and the pressure on his face made Yihu break out in a cold sweat.

"Do you really not see the gap between you and them, or do you prefer to deceive yourself?"

"..."

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry. According to the usual practice, even if you are going to be executed, it is estimated that you will have to be locked up for a month before the execution."

Seeing Ichigo's face, Kisuke Urahara put away his crutches.

"During this period, I will teach you the knowledge of fighting, and at the same time, I will help you regain the power of the god of death, but for these ten days of training, you have to bet your life. If you are not careful, you may die There is no place to die...Of course, how you choose is ultimately up to you, if you simply turn around and go back like this, it would be a nightmare, and it might be a good choice."

-

As a result, needless to say.

Ichigo firmly agreed to Urahara Kisuke's proposal.

Watching Ichigo go away in the rain, Urahara Kisuke showed a satisfied and expectant smile on his face.

"So, your condition is that I will be with him before you are willing to send me to Soul Soul Realm."

Behind him, holding the hot tea made by Tie Zhai in his hand, Zheng Qi looked at Ichigo's back and said.

"It's not difficult for you, is it, Mr. Zheng Qi."

"Then it's a word."

"readily!"

Walking around the corner, Ye Yi looked up at Zheng Qi's shoulder who was walking back into the house.

After meeting the gaze of a certain blue cat, she lowered her head and jumped to the top of the wall beside the door in two or three steps.

"Kisuke, you know."

"Ok?"

"The way you put on a serious face with panda eyes just now is really funny."

"...You just can't tell with the black cat's face."

"You can change if you want."

Kisuke Urahara stopped talking.

He tugged on his hat, trying to hide as much of his bruised panda eyes as possible.

Chapter 425 Chapter 2: Has he always been this brave?

Looking at Kisuke's old shop, Ichigo couldn't help recalling what happened in school today.

Ishida took leave of absence due to injury and did not come to school.

And Rukia...

Everyone, I don't remember Rukia anymore.

No, to be more precise, it was as if Rukia had never appeared before.

The traces belonging to her seemed to have disappeared in the school.

——This kind of sadness and bitterness lasted until Orihime and Sado found Ichigo after school.

Both remember things about Rukia.

At the same time, the two also tell Ichigo that they can see souls now too.

For Ichigo, this was a kind of comfort.

He told the two about Rukia.

It is undoubtedly a blessing to have someone to talk to when you are depressed.

However, Ichigo didn't want Orihime and Chadu to be involved in the matter of going to Soul World to save Rukia.

He knew very well that this trip was extremely dangerous.

As for his family, today is the last day before the summer vacation. He said hello in advance, saying that he would go to a friend's house to play for a few days, so he didn't have to worry too much about any misunderstandings at home or at school.

just now……

"……call."

After adjusting his breathing, Ichigo was about to go forward to touch the sliding door of the small shop that looked precarious.

"Come here, I'm still thinking about what to do if you go back on your word."

But before he could touch the door, Kisuke pushed the door open from the inside.

"How could I go back on it."

Looking at Kisuke who always had a smile on his face, Ichigo said with a serious expression: "I'm here, hurry up and start the special training you mentioned, where are we going?"

"Hmm... very good eyes, then it's not too late—"

Seeing Kisuke turning his head and walking into the store, Ichigo thought he was going to get something for special training, and was about to wait at the door, but found that Kisuke had gone two steps and stopped to look back at him.

"Come here, aren't you in a hurry to start special training?"

Ichigo looked confused, but still chose to listen to Kisuke.

Then, his eyes widened in shock at what he saw next.

"—What is this?!"

Who would have thought that there is a vast space under such an old shop that looks like a careless snack shop.

Ichigo stared around, and found that he couldn't see the end of this place for a while.

If it wasn't for the ladder used to get down here right behind him, it would be hard for Ichigo to believe that it was under Kisuke's little shop.

"How about it, is it spacious enough as a training ground?"

Kisuke said with a smile.

It seems that he is very satisfied with Ichigo's stunned look.

"Ah, um... um?"

Ichigo, who was at a loss for words because of the surprise in his heart, blinked.

He noticed that in this underground training ground lined with rocks, besides him, Kisuke, and Xiaoyu, Tesai, and Jinta who were called down by Kisuke as assistants, there was another person.

...is it human?

Seeing that figure who seemed to be twice as tall as Chadu, wearing a neat formal suit, Ichigo was also a little uncertain for a moment.

After all, Urahara Kisuke can always come up with some weird inventions, maybe there is a Tai Lingzi version of the Terminator in this underground training ground?

"Ah, ha, that's right, you'll be here for the next few days, so you should get to know each other."

Noticing Ichigo's gaze, Kisuke raised his hand and shouted towards the back: "Mr. Zheng Qi! Did you disturb your practice?"

Zheng Qi?

The unfamiliar name made Ichigo look even more bewildered.

Hearing Kisuke Urahara calling him, Zheng Qi, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes.

(This is really quite difficult.)

Zheng Qi muttered to the magic tome on his shoulder in his heart.

[You don't have to learn. 】

Grimoire half-opened one eye.

[If I use it, it is enough to deal with these death or virtual investigations. 】

(Too many skills do not overwhelm you.)

Zheng Qi looked at the black tunic suit he was wearing.

(However, scientific research talents are really powerful. In such a short period of time, he can make such a fitting thing according to my requirements.)

Magic Code didn't answer, but closed his eyes and turned his head, gently patting Zheng Qi's cheek with his tail.

The suit he was wearing was specially made by Kisuke Urahara.

In terms of effect, this clothing does not have strong protective properties, but it can repair itself when damaged, and it can greatly hide the spiritual pressure on Zheng Qi's body-let's call it spiritual pressure.

In Urahara Kisuke's description, in his and Ye Yiyan's eyes, Zheng Qi is exuding a strange spiritual pressure all the time.

Kisuke Urahara still has doubts in his heart whether it can even be called [Reiatsu].

But one thing Urahara Kisuke is certain of.

That is, whether it is Shinigami, Xu, or Quincy Master, once they notice this special spiritual pressure emanating from Zheng Qi, they will immediately understand that Zheng Qi is a [dangerous object].

This is like a label affixed to flammable and explosive materials, like a gun with its safety opened and a sharp knife out of its sheath.

As long as you see it, your instinct will tell the witnesses that it is a [danger].

When he first encountered Zheng Qi, Urahara Kisuke once thought that Zheng Qi was hiding himself through a subtle means, and he didn't release his spiritual pressure until he got close to the distance to ensure that the shot was correct.

Of course, this speculation was overturned by Urahara Kisuke himself in the first communication with Zheng Qi.

He realized that the special spiritual pressure that made him and Ye Yi feel difficult to move was not released intentionally by Zheng Qi.

That was just the power that Zheng Qi radiated unconsciously.

Just like human breathing, it is just a habitual behavior between gestures.

Therefore, when Zheng Qi seriously asked him and Ye Yi for advice on how to hide this special spiritual pressure after the first exchange, Urahara Kisuke no longer felt much surprise in his heart.
