Chapter 15 Ichigo VS Roche, the actions of Hitsugaya Toshiro and Urahara Kisuke

"Then, I have to go out for a while. Can I leave you behind, Nanao-chan?"

Facing Kyōraku who was about to put on the straw hat, Nanao asked in disbelief.

"...? Where are you going? There are no similar plans today..."

"I have something to do and I have to go to the Central Room 46 to have a meeting with the Gold Seal nobles."

"...!"

Nanao realized the significance of this destination and looked at Kyoraku with a nervous expression.

"Don't look so scary. I'm not going to die."

"But...you're not quite ready yet, are you?"

"Ah, I planned to do some more pre-clearance. But after hearing Momoko's report, I felt a little uneasy."

Kyoraku lowered his gaze quietly and smiled as if to reassure Nanao.

"But, it's Ukitake, maybe he's angry with me." (Referring to Kyoraku, in order to reassure Nanao, he changed the reason for his uneasiness from something bad about to happen to that Ukitake was dead and angry with him.

)

"Mr. Ukitake...is that right?"

Facing Nanao's words, Kyoraku smiled bitterly and continued.

"Because that guy is a very nice person. Well, I think this is one of Ukitake's strengths that I don't have."

Missing his old friend, Kyoryu raised his eyes to look at the more distant past.

"That happened a long time ago. Ukitake and Tokinada, that guy, and I, were contemporaries at the Spiritual Arts Academy. Tokinada was an inconspicuous guy, and he was never praised or blamed by Old Man Shan, like

Living like a shadow... But Ukitake, he can talk to him like that normally. Maybe Ukitake will think that they are friends. Until something like that happens after graduation... No,

Maybe it will be like this even after it happened."

"That kind of thing" probably refers to the incident where Tokinada brutally murdered his wife and colleagues.

Nanao, who was aware of this, did not inquire in depth, but quietly waited for Kyoraku to continue speaking.

"It's just because of the same period of cherry blossoms, Ukitake will trust that guy Tokinada. If the environment changes,

, if any opportunity arises, one day I will definitely change my mind. I will definitely face the mistakes I have made from the bottom of my heart."

"this……"

"I was not able to achieve such trust. Having said that, I was also unable to achieve the goal of killing Tokinada at that time. The time has come to put an end to the choice that I was unable to make. The time has come.

That’s all."

Although she sensed an aura of danger from the words "at that time", Nanao did not ask about Kyoraku's enlightened intention hidden in those short words.

"Considering that not only will I give him a job he hates, but I might also make his trip go to waste... I might have done something very sorry to Hisagi-kun."

After saying these words, Chongya, who went to the second division to give instructions, returned.

"Ah, Mr. Ouga. I need to go out for a while...what happened?"

Facing Kyōraku, who noticed that Hōga's expression turned serious, the second vice-captain presented the report with a nervous expression.

"I went to Hisagi Shuhei in Karakura Town and it seems that he submitted an application to lift the restriction."

"...Restrictions lifted? Isn't it very peaceful there?"

"It seems that the reason was the presence of an unidentified hostile force... But according to the observation team, when a reply was issued requiring permission, the communication was completely interrupted. What's more, the machine that was observing Karakura Town

All communications have been blocked, and Karakura Town has entered a state of isolation at this stage..."

Faced with the report of a serious situation that was far beyond imagination, Kyoraku replied with a tone that showed no trace of panic even though his face darkened.

"...Where are the members Ryunosuke Yuki and Shino Madarame who were dispatched to Karakura Town?"

"Yes, the same, the signal is blocked and cannot be contacted."

"Please contact the Shinigami in the surrounding towns and give instructions to report the current situation... Nanao-chan, I'm sorry, but because the number of things that need to be dealt with at the same time has increased, can you please come with us?"

"yes!"

After watching Nanao and Tougao, who were nodding vigorously, leave the room to prepare, Kyoraku whispered with a more serious expression than before.

"Things are really bad now..."

"...Maybe, that guy Tokinada struck me first."

Chapter 10

Karakura Town is by no means a lonely country town.

It is a relatively populous city located in the outskirts of Tokyo, with railways connected to the center of the town.

With a population of over 100,000, there is a large general hospital next to Karakura Honmachi Station, which is considered large even among nearby towns.

Therefore, the station will be used by people both inside and outside the town, and there are many people entering and leaving the town.

In the past, in order to protect the town from Aizen, the Shinigami used black technology to move the town to Soul Society with 100,000 people. The labor they put in for this was indescribable to ordinary people, not to mention the many Shinigami.

Estimated.

The entrance and exit of trains and traffic were temporarily completely blocked, and the electricity, water and sewerage in the surrounding area were also processed so as not to cause any abnormalities. On top of this, the huge number of residents bordering Karakura Town were also inspected.

The memory operation was a major operation involving all the Shinigami's technical staff.

As a result, the Shinigami deceived the world and achieved the cheating technique of isolating Karakura Town in two senses.

Although there were victims, the Seireitei believed that considering the purpose of Aizen, Arrancar and others, the number was kept to a minimum.

Then time came to the present, and Karakura Town was once again isolated from the world.

The purpose of the quarantine is unknown.

If the dimensional wall that separates reality and virtual reality is said to exist physically, I am afraid that "that" will give people a feeling that it is not the case - it is something that ordinary humans can't even see with the naked eye.

It is impossible to recognize anything, the dim sky mixed with noise.

However, it might also be called a relaxed isolation.

The tram did not stop.

Vehicles also drive around the city boundaries normally, as do pedestrians.

Birds were flying in the sky, and the flow of the river was not stagnant.

It was just like usual, but the town was indeed isolated.

"Ah? There is no picture on the TV?"

"Hey, hey, hey—? Hey, the connection is disconnected..."

"I can't receive the signal." "Me too—"

"Okay, this is a work email..."

"It's true, I almost won, but I got disconnected!"

Similar sounds can be heard everywhere in Karakura Town.

Various communication machines and radio wave sending and receiving machines connected to the outside of the town have stopped working, and all electronic communication with the outside has been interrupted.

However, this only happens within a few minutes.

First, the airwaves for television broadcasting were restored, and then broadcasting stations, landline telephones, radios, the Internet, and mobile phones were restored in order.

People tilted their heads and thought, "It's probably caused by the power outage in related facilities." They accepted it in their own way and returned to their daily lives.

They did not notice that in just a few minutes, all the communication machines that easily exceeded one hundred thousand in the town were "tagged".

Then, some of the communication machines that were separated by the "tag" still did not resume communication functions even after several minutes.

"Ah...how strange..."

In response to Xiaoyu's words, Jinta, who showed a depressed expression, replied.

"What are you talking about? What's strange is my current situation, isn't it?"

Continuing to ignore the voice of Jinta, who was carrying more than half of the 500kg superball alone, Xiaoyu asked Tessai who was walking aside.

"Mr. Tessai, my mobile phone doesn't work anymore..."

"Ha, anyway, it's broken by visiting pornographic websites, huh, huh, huh, huh, haha!? Stop, wait, you guy! Don't tickle me in this state!"

Beside Jinta, whose knees were trembling and about to lose his balance, Tessai responded to Xiaoyu's words.

"Huh? Is it a radio wave obstruction?"

In contrast to Jinta, who was supporting the 250kg bag on his back, Tessai easily carried the remaining cargo with one hand. He took out his mobile phone with his free hand and checked the radio wave conditions.

"...Indeed, my mobile phone can't be used anymore."

However, after a few operations were performed after that, Tessai frowned.

"This doesn't seem like an ordinary radio wave barrier. I can feel strange spiritual pressure swaying... Let's return to the store as soon as possible."

"Ahead of here is Karakura Town... What is this?"

Located on the western boundary of Karakura Town.

The one who arrived here was the young god of death who was in charge of the neighboring town.

"Considering that this is an emergency message from the Seireitei...is it Kyon's fault? Or is it a Quincy...?"

Facing this wonderful barrier, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The curtain, like a hologram projected in the air, emitted noise and covered the entire town.

Even so, you can't see that. Vehicles, pedestrians, and even trains just burst into the curtain and passed by as if nothing happened.

"Hey, what the hell!"

Despite some hesitation, the actionist Death still stepped into the curtain wall.

Then--

"...Huh? What, this is not an ordinary pass..."

While he was saying this, he noticed the presence of other Shinigami in front of him.

"Who is it? The Shinigami in charge of Karakura Town should be a young male and female duo?"

After asking, the old man with white hair turned around and asked the young god of death.

"I am the Shinigami in charge of Kagano City, which is east from here. I just want to ask you. You just came out of Karakura Town, right? What's going on inside now?"

"What……?"

The young god of death noticed something unusual at this moment.

The scenery around me is completely different from the one before passing through the curtain wall.

"This is...? Where is the station?"

"This is the east side of Karakura Town. Does the station mean Karakura Honmachi Station?...Could it be that you just...were on the west side of the town?"

At this time, they noticed it.

That curtain wall has different effects on ordinary humans and the God of Death.

At the same time, I began to worry about the Shinigami inside.

"Is it okay...? The Shinigami in charge of Karakura Town is probably not that strong..."

"Anyway, report it to the superior first... It's okay. There are Kurosaki Ichigo, Captain Ishinhara, and Captain Urahara in Karakura Town. That person will have some solution."

However they don't know.

Kurosaki Ichigo and Kurosaki Isshin are not in the town at the moment.

Instead, there was a vice-captain whose combat power was not comparable to that of Ichigo and others.

=

Urahara store

"Yukio Hans Floral Belluna..."

That very long name confused Hisagi for a moment, but it was indeed a proper term that he had heard while working on Kurosaki Ichigo.

At the same time, he recalled that this was a name he had just heard recently.

——"Because we relied on the abilities of Yukio and Riruka to move directly. And we also took corresponding risks, right?"

"...! Ginjo's comrade!"

"...So, who are you? To be honest, I have nothing to do with anyone other than Mr. Urahara."

Facing the boy who was talking calmly through the screen in the sky, Hisagi clenched his fists and answered.

"I am Hisa, the vice-captain of the Gotei 13, Division 9—"

"Ah, after all, I'd better forget it. I feel like there's no point in trying to write it down."

"Uh-oh!? What did you say!? There's only a little left. Just bear with me and listen! Do something opposite to that guy Iwajiu!"

Ignoring Hisagi who was in a hurry, Yukio said to Urahara.

"I haven't seen you for half a year. I hope you can come with me for a while."

"Oh, if you had called me beforehand, I would have gone directly from here? After all, I have roughly imagined what happened."

"Hey……"

In contrast to Yukio who narrowed his eyes, Hisagi asked with his eyes wide open in surprise.

"Are you telling the truth, Mr. Urahara? What is this guy's purpose...?"

So Urahara closed his fan and smiled fearlessly.

"The president of "VIHANSENTERPRISE", which has achieved rapid development with the gaming business as its foundation and the entertainment industry as its center, can only ask for one thing from me."

Then, he opened the fan that he had just closed with a majestic sound effect and asserted.

"To be honest! You just want to poach me."

Hisagi looked confused as he didn't know how to react, and Yukio looked completely expressionless.

Not caring at all about the attitudes of those two people, Urahara continued shamelessly.

"Oh my, I should say that you have a sharp vision. As a confectionery house, you are constantly researching and developing new products. I personally feel that it is time to attract the attention of big companies. Having said that, if you think

Is it too troublesome that I am a man who can be moved by money? If you want to buy the soul of Shitamachi craftsman, I hope you can give sincerity more than money. To be specific, you are right, 7% of the shares of your company

How about it?」
