After late spring, the temperature gradually warms up, and there are many middle school students wearing beautiful new clothes on the streets who have just entered middle school.
Kurosaki Ichigo turned slightly to one side and bypassed several middle school students running on the street. After taking a closer look, he said to himself: "The school uniform seems to be similar to what the wanderers wore this morning. Are they from the same school?"
Only then did he suddenly realize...
It turns out that before I knew it, all the wanderers had already started attending middle school.
Thinking of this, Kurosaki Ichigo smiled slightly and then prepared to look away.
"Ouch~~"
But at this moment, the few little girls running around on the sidewalk seemed to have bumped into someone.
When Kurosaki Ichigo looked for the sound, the figure that was hit by several little girls was already squatting on the ground. From the gap between the few little girls, he could faintly see that he was wearing black clothes and seemed to be talking to several little girls.
The girl preaches.
Seeing this, Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head. Being lectured on the street would only make those children feel dissatisfied with the person who lectured them, but they would not feel that the other person was doing it for their own good.
However, to his surprise...
It didn't take long for several little girls to laugh happily and call out words like "big brother".
The man who was blocked in front of them slowly stood up, reached out and rubbed the heads of several children, then dug into his pocket, took out a few things like candies and handed them to several children.
girl.
This scene made Ichigo Kurosaki frown.
But then his pupils shrank. Although he couldn't see clearly due to the distance, the black overalls made him feel extremely familiar.
Maybe I just saw it wrong?
That person should not appear here, and the most important thing is...
Even if he appears, he should not be able to see him.
But when he saw the other party saying goodbye to a few little girls and walking towards the alley, Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but chase after him quickly.
However, when he came to the intersection and was about to turn, he couldn't help but stop.
Although I was basically certain in my mind that the other party was probably just another person wearing similar clothes.
But when he wanted to confirm, Kurosaki Ichigo was still hesitant.
Because of my current life...
This has always been my dream.
He obviously longed for a life where he couldn't see 'them', but when the familiar black work clothes appeared, he actually hoped that he had not seen it wrong.
Isn’t it a good feeling to have your dreams come true?
Kurosaki Ichigo was a little unsure whether he was satisfied with his current life, but after some hesitation, he decided to walk in the direction where the man in black overalls left.
However, as soon as he turned the corner, his steps stopped.
Not far from the corner, a figure was sitting on a bench on the roadside. He was holding a drink bought from the vending machine next to him and looking at him with a slight smile on his face.
Familiar outfit, familiar face, and that extremely familiar smile.
The moment he saw the other party, Kurosaki Ichigo found that he felt excited for a moment, thinking that he might be able to see 'them' again.
But then he realized...
The other party may just be outside the spirit body, wearing a layer of artificial bones that can be seen by people in the world. After all, the other party was talking to several little girls in front of him.
After a moment of silence, Kurosaki Ichigo stepped forward and put a few coins into the vending machine next to the bench.
With a snapping sound, Kurosaki Ichigo stepped forward with two bottles of drinks and handed one to the young man in black overalls.
"Haha, if I had known I hadn't bought it just now, I would have received the money from an uncle."
"..."
Hearing this, the extremely complex emotions accumulated in Kurosaki Ichigo's heart suddenly disappeared.
Then he said somewhat speechlessly: "You didn't steal some old man's money, did you?"
Although the other party's age can be said to be extremely young in the Soul Society, the person he can call an uncle must be at least fifty or sixty years old, right?
"How is that possible? He's just a gangster uncle with a ferocious face and tattoos all over his body."
Duan Mu chuckled and then said: "Let's not mention him anymore. Anyway, we will never see him again. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, right?"
"..." Kurosaki Ichigo.
What the hell is that you can't see? You won't kill him, will you?
After hesitating for a while, Kurosaki Ichigo finally chose not to ask, and instead said: "It's 17 months."
"You remember it really clearly."
Kurosaki Ichigo was startled when he heard this, and then shook his head: "Speaking of which, Brother Duanmu, why did you come to this world?"
"I came to run some errands and stopped by to see you."
Duan Mu lay back and said lazily: "Originally, I wanted to help you solve your trouble, but after seeing you, I found that it's better not to meddle in your own business."
trouble?
Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned. How could he, who had lost his spiritual power, encounter trouble that needed Brother Duanmu's help to solve?
Duanmu looked at Kurosaki Ichigo, and he suddenly understood why neither Urahara Kisuke nor Kurosaki Isshin knew the plan of Gotei 13th Division, but still did not remind them or intervene.
The appearance of Ginjo Kugo and others is indeed necessary for Kurosaki Ichigo to understand his own heart.
Otherwise, even if you help him restore his Death God ability, he will think that this is not the life he needs, and mentality can often determine a person's growth and strength.
"By the way, your sister is in middle school, right?"
Duan Mu changed the topic and said with a smile: "When I came here just now, I happened to meet your sister, Kurosaki Yuuko."
Wanderer?
Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Duan Mu with a wary expression. Although he respected this elder brother, he still knew a little about Duan Mu's deeds from Renji and Rukia. He couldn't be said to be a scumbag... but he treated Duan Mu a little bit.
Brother Duan Mu, who is extremely gentle to everyone, can easily arouse the love of little girls.
The most important thing is...
Kurosaki Ichigo has never mentioned his family to Brother Duanmu.
"..." Duan Mu.
What does that wary look on your face mean? It makes me seem like I will do something to your sister.
I always feel like this guy has misunderstood something.
"Brother Duan Mu, you..."
"That's it."
Duanmu hurriedly interrupted Kurosaki Ichigo's words. He always felt that if he allowed this guy to continue speaking, his character would be questioned.
"Did you forget what you were going to do?"
"ah?"
Kurosaki Ichigo blinked and said subconsciously: "Get ready for school... uh..." He reacted immediately, but after looking at the time, this guy didn't panic, but said extremely calmly: "First
It doesn’t matter if you miss a class.”
"Students today are really free."
Duan Mu sighed, then stood up, turned around, raised his hand and pointed backward.
Zila~~
The arc flashed, and a lightning beam suddenly shot out.
Ghost path?
Kurosaki Ichigo looked along the direction where the lightning disappeared, and what he saw was the blue sky.
When he turned around again and wanted to ask what was there, he realized that Duan Mu, who was still beside him before, had disappeared from the place at some point.
…
Duan Mu stood on the spot, looking at Kurosaki Ichigo's back, stretched out his hand to pull the void in front of him, and with a burst of ripples flashing by, his whole body seemed to be integrated into the air, completely disappearing in place, and no longer just
The clothes are transformed into spiritual beings.
It took about tens of seconds after he disappeared, and with the breeze blowing, two figures appeared here.
"It's time to start."
"Soul Society seems to have noticed our actions. It would be better to resolve it as soon as possible."
"Haha, I'm really looking forward to the arrival of people from the Soul Society."
The two figures looked at Kurosaki Ichigo who was leaving. After looking at each other, they did not go up to make contact with him, but disappeared directly.
However, the two people who left did not notice that wrinkled ripples appeared in the void next to where they were standing before. With the appearance of the ripples, the disappeared Duan Mu reappeared in the same place.
"Tsk tsk..."
Looking at the direction in which Ginjo Kūgo and Tsukishima were leaving, Duan Mu curled his lips.
Too weak!
He did not deliberately hide his aura, but used the 26th Curved Light of Binding Dao to hide his figure, but even if the two people were standing next to him, they were still unaware of it.
More strictly speaking...
Now, even if I don't hide my figure or spiritual pressure, if I stand in front of them, they won't feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power from me.
This is the difference in dimension.
Duan Mu didn't have too many entanglements with these two people. Although he had fought hard with these two people and almost died in their hands, to be honest...the two people now made Duan Mu not even interested in revenge.
Can't lift it up.
Compared to them, Duan Mu was more interested in their female companions.
"Boss Duan Mu, you really have a rare leisure time."
Just when Duan Mu was hesitating whether to go to their base camp for a 'chance encounter', a very familiar voice came.
"Boss Urahara is not the same. Every time I come to this world, you will come to greet me."
"Boss Duan Mu is here. Of course I will come to greet you."
Assistant Urahara Ki shook his folding fan and suddenly changed the subject: "After all, Boss Duanmu, you wander around Rukongai, Seireitei, and Hueco Mundo almost every day. This is the first time you have come here since the last battle.
In this world."
"Don't worry, I have no interest in those two guys anymore, and I don't plan to take action against them."
Duan Mu looked at the playful and smiling Urahara Kisuke, and really had no interest in arguing with him. Instead, he said directly: "I came here this time just to receive a commission from 'ydm book sales', and I came to this world to buy some of the books she pre-ordered.
That’s all.”
The so-called 'ydm book sales' is a shop opened by Masked Army's Chuya Tomaru Lisa in Rukongai, but its business scope also includes the Seireitei, or... most of the customers are Gotei Ju.
A member of the Third Division.
As for the store's products, as the name suggests, it sells all kinds of modern books, and provides a confidential home delivery service that does not leak customer information.
in short……
Basically, they are books that are not suitable for children.
17 months have passed, and many changes have taken place in Seireitei.
The captaincy review for Hirako Mako, Rukuchi Kensai, and Hobashiro Juro has passed, and now the three have become the captains of the fifth division, ninth division, and third division respectively.
A total of five of the eight members of the Masked Forces remain in Soul Society.
They are the three captains, Miss Lisa who lives in Shiba's house, and Kunan Haku, Rokukaru Kensai's follower. However, she did not become the deputy captain of the 9th Division again, but was arranged by Rokukaru Kensai.
A position called "ultra radibsp;scoop editor" was created.
The name is extremely cool, but in reality it is a job that involves running errands between the real world and the Soul Society. He has his own column in the Seireitei Newsletter, and the content basically introduces the customs and customs of the real world.
As for Hiyori Sarukaki, Hakugen Shoda and Ratake Aikawa returned to the present world and were unwilling to return to the Gotei 13th Division.
More strictly speaking, the only ones who were unwilling to return to the Gotei 13th Division were actually Hiyori Sarugaki, Hakugen Shoda, and Ratake Aikawa who chose to leave just because they wanted to take care of Hiyori.
Duan Mu didn't care much about the others, but Jiu Nanbai and Miss Lisa, Duan Mu had established good friendships with them in more than a year.
It's a pity that Hiyori doesn't want to have any contact with Seireitei, so she doesn't even have a command machine, otherwise Duan Mu can still talk on the phone with her in his spare time.
In more than a year, it can be said that Duan Mu has never had a free day.
But even so...
Free Hit: Top(704680/1000000)
In 17 months, I gained more than 400,000 experience points. Compared with before, this can be said to be a huge gain.
But for what is coming, these are still far from enough!
And most of the experience points are actually obtained from the female Arrancars in Hueco Mundo. The experience points provided by Rukongai and Seireitei can be said to be very little.
After bidding farewell to Urahara Kisuke, Duanmu, who had changed his appearance, followed the list provided by Miss Lisa and purchased the books with ease, then immediately returned to Soul Society.
As for why we need to change our appearance, the reason is very simple...
He doesn't want to die!
As for what is going to happen in this world, Duan Mu is not prepared to participate at all, nor is he interested in participating.
…
"Duan Mu, why have you been gone for so long?"
As soon as Duan Mu returned to the tavern, a figure in a sailor suit came up to him: "My customers are all urging me."
"Sorry, I met Kurosaki Ichigo on the way, so I stopped by to say hello."
"Ichigo?"
Lisa nodded and said, "If you have anything to say hello to, it's not like I won't be able to see you. Urahara's preparations are said to have come to an end. I think it won't take long for the things to be delivered here."
Duan Mu chuckled when he heard this and said nothing more.
He is now becoming more and more certain that Urahara Kisuke's preparations may have been completed long ago and he was just waiting for the right time.
Duan Mu looked at Lisa who was checking the books on the list, got up and walked towards the backyard.
"You just came back and are leaving?"
Seeing this, Uoyue behind the bar said somewhat speechlessly: "I learned a new word from the new residents, and it really suits you. You are like a king of scrolls."
Duan Mu's mouth twitched slightly, he didn't want to curl it, but now he had to curl it!
…
I flipped through the manga today and read the Wangenjutsu chapter again. I found that there was really nothing to write about, so I decided to skip it.
Next comes the final volume.
Before I knew it, I had written 1.2 million words. When I signed the contract... the number of words I filled in was 700,000-1 million... I feel like I need about 100,000 more words. Can I finish the book with 200,000 words?
