The faces of the boys and girls all had expressions of disbelief.
"Brother, is he...the kind of person who would do such a thing?"
Inoue Orihime expressed doubts about this.
Not only him, but the rest of the people thought that the old man in front of them was bluffing. They had all received favors from this man more or less, and they couldn't usually see that this was a terrible guy who would destroy the world.
"You have to ask him personally..." Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Inoue Orihime.
If not, that would be best, but no one really knows what this man is thinking. If you just look at what this man does when he lets Aizen do it, this man doesn't seem to care that Aizen will threaten the world, or in other words, he doesn't care at all.
I don't care what the world becomes.
After all, he is a transcendent. To put it simply, he is just a passerby in this world. No matter what such a being does on a whim, it will be a disaster for them. The most helpless thing is that even if they know this, they will do nothing to it.
There is no way.
So the only thing he could think of at this moment was to use the boys and girls in front of him, because this was probably the only bond with that man.
············
The next day.
The boys and girls looked worried when they came to the world-traveling gate opened specifically for them, except for Kurosaki Ichigo.
"This is the official world-crossing gate. The spirit conversion machine has been activated for you. As long as you pass through here and reach the end, you can return to your world."
Ukitake Jushiro, who was seeing him off, gave instructions.
He looked at the sad expressions on the faces of the children in front of him and sighed slightly.
Perhaps it is too much to place the burden of the entire world's survival on such a child.
"Don't think too much. After you go back, let's go back to your original lives. After all, as Mr. Yamamoto said, no matter how much we think about it, there is nothing we can do before the disaster really strikes."
"Of course I'm overthinking it. I think that old man must be confused, right?" Kurosaki Ichigo curled his lips, resting his head on his hands as he strutted towards the direction of the boundary gate, "Why is that guy thinking so inexplicably?
Want to destroy the world?"
"Yeah... there must be some other reason for him to leave, right?" Sadatora Taihu also nodded slightly and followed Kurosaki Ichigo's footsteps.
Although they had not known each other for a long time, their life on campus with that man was quite pleasant, and the most important thing was... that man really cared about Inoue, of which he was most certain.
After all, the power in my body was given by that man, and the purpose was to protect this girl.
"That's right, we can't understand the thinking of a strong man, not to mention that he is a 'transcender'." Uryū Ishida adjusted his glasses and looked at Orihime Inoue, who looked worried, "Miss Inoue, don't think about it.
There are so many... If you really want to understand everything, just like Mr. Yamamoto said, go and ask him yourself..."
As he spoke, his eyes under his glasses narrowed slightly.
He thought that this should be the purpose of the old man saying so many words. The girl in front of him was probably the only one in the world who had the qualifications to ask that person.
"Um……"
Inoue Orihime nodded slightly, but she still seemed a little worried.
"Okay, there will always be a solution when the time comes, right?"
Kurosaki Ichigo chuckled.
The other two teenagers beside him also smiled helplessly.
"Go home, it's time to say goodbye."
Kuchiki Rukia gently pushed Inoue Orihime from behind.
"Although I don't know what those boring guys said to you, don't worry. No matter what you encounter, it can be solved. You don't need to worry at all. No matter what the process is... that man will never do anything that makes you unhappy in the end.
Sad things come..."
Kuchiki Rukia comforted her like this.
She thought that she was probably the most qualified person to evaluate that man's actions.
After all, she is a poor 'victim'. From the beginning of this world to Aizen's conspiracy, she has watched everything that happened as a bystander, so she can be sure that everything the man did was for
This girl in front of me.
It is like this whether in this world or in Soul Society.
Just like her stupid idiot big brother, a man who is an elder brother will always feel jealous when he sees an idiot approaching his sister, and it seems normal to do some crazy things for this reason... She didn't understand it very well before.
, but after this incident she understood deeply.
Both Brother Byakuya and that man are hopeless.
(Byakuya:...She has always been able to understand.
Xuanhao:...I know this.)
After saying goodbye, several boys and girls, led by Yoruichi and watched by everyone in Soul Society, finally stepped into the world-traveling gate.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"
Soon, a scream of "joy" came from the door.
"What are you doing! Why do we have to pass through such a dangerous place!?"
Kurosaki Ichigo looked back at the chasing Joutu behind him and complained.
"Isn't that the official gate just now? Why is it still connected to such a dangerous place?! Is the God of Death playing with his life every time he comes to this world!?"
"How is it possible..." Ye Yi was speechless for a while, "Okay, follow me and stop complaining! Only by following the guidance of the Hell Butterfly can we embark on the correct and safe path, and that is the prerogative of the God of Death! All of us are
There are no hell butterflies..."
"Damn it, am I not the agent of Death now?" Ichigo Kurosaki took out the badge in his arms and took a look. What is the use of this thing?
"Agent! You know you're just an agent!" Ye Yi scolded angrily, "Okay, hurry up! The exit is ahead!"
Following the direction of the light, everyone rushed out of the broken boundary and suddenly became enlightened.
but……
Feeling the emptiness under their feet, everyone was slightly stunned.
"What's happening here……"
"I forgot to remind you..." Yoruichi said with some embarrassment, "Under normal circumstances, the Shinigami will set the exit of the boundary gate above Karakura Town. After all, they can gather a foothold under their feet."
"You should have warned me about this kind of thing earlier!!!"
With a cry of surprise, everyone fell towards the ground together.
Including Kurosaki Ichigo, a half-hearted Shinigami who has not yet learned this technique, none of them seems to have the ability to stand in the air, and Yoruichi cannot hold so many people in the air at the same time.
.
But she wasn't too anxious, because someone would always be prepared for such times.
Sure enough, a shout came from the distance.
"Good morning everyone~"
I saw a shadow rushing towards me from below. Kisuke Urahara, who was riding a flying carpet, held up the folding fan in his hand and greeted the fallen people with a smile.
Xiao Yu, who was behind him, picked up the special cannon on his shoulder and adjusted the elevation to fire in mid-air.
"boom!"
After a burst of roaring sound, a huge piece of cloth was shot out from the barrel, killing all the falling people in an instant.
Then Jinta jumped up from the flying carpet and stepped on the void, twisting his body and raising the weapon in his hand.
"Okay, Mr. Tessai!"
As he spoke, he swung out suddenly, hitting the cloth wrapping several people like a ball. This cloth was a special defensive material, and the people inside would not be injured even if he used all his strength.
"Jinta home run!"
"Tessai Death Catch!"
puff--
The flying carpet swayed for a while, and Tessai's figure retreated a long distance on the huge flying carpet due to the impact and finally stopped.
The few people who emerged from the cloth were already dizzy.
"Damn it, why are you even here with me?" Yoruichi protested, holding up the cat's paw. She obviously didn't need rescue.
"Okay, you guys went together, so of course you have to be neat and tidy when you come back."
Urahara Kisuke shook his fan and laughed, "Anyway... welcome back, everyone (^_-)"
"Mr. Urahara..."
Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head and hesitated to speak while looking at the man who came to greet them.
The rest of the people may not have heard clearly what Aizen said because of the distance, but he still remembered it clearly...
According to Aizen...the man in front of her was the instigator of what happened to Rukia.
"Ah... you are back, Kurosaki." Urahara Kisuke touched the brim of his hat and said with emotion, "Looking at your expression... it seems that there is something about me. You have heard about it, right?"
"Yeah." Kurosaki Ichigo nodded slightly.
"Sigh... I'm not going to excuse this." Urahara Kisuke sighed and took off the hat on his head, knelt down on the flying carpet and lowered his head, "I'm really sorry."
Everyone around looked at this scene in silence.
"Tsk."
Kurosaki Ichigo curled his lips slightly, "Don't be like this, it makes it seem like I'm embarrassing you. You should have something to hide anyway, right? After all, there is Xuanhao behind this matter... Anyway, the matter is over.
, I’m too lazy to blame you... and if it weren’t for you... I would have died long ago.”
"It would be best if you can understand~" Urahara Kisuke breathed a sigh of relief.
"But there is one more thing I want to ask you," Ichigo Kurosaki knelt down and asked, "What exactly do you want to do? Don't tell me you don't know anything about it?"
"Well..." Urahara Kisuke scratched his face in embarrassment, "Maybe it's to train you?"
"Why is it so rough!?" Kurosaki Ichigo's veins popped out on his forehead. He hated these guys who couldn't understand what they said the most! He really wanted to tear this guy's mouth to pieces.
"Anyway, it's just like you said... I also have a lot of things that I can't tell you."
Urahara Kisuke waved his fan helplessly, "I won't hurt you anyway."
"That's okay."
Kurosaki Ichigo curled his lips and sat down indifferently, "Then let's forget about it... As for Lucia, you have to apologize to her when you meet her. After all, she was tricked by you.
It's very miserable, but I think the most she can do is beat you up."
"Hahaha~"
Urahara Kisuke smiled awkwardly.
"Ishida! Ishida's home is over there, right!?"
Inoue Orihime suddenly pointed at the houses below and shouted.
During the conversation, they had arrived near Ishida's house. The purpose of Urahara Kisuke coming here was to pick them up and send them home.
The flying carpet slowly lowered its height, and Ishida also came to the edge and prepared to leave.
"Then goodbye, Ishida, don't forget what we discussed before... We will ask you for help if anything happens!"
Kurosaki Ichigo waved goodbye.
"snort……"
Ishida Uryu didn't speak, he just hummed and jumped off the flying carpet.
Can you help?
How can he help these people with his power?
This trip to Soul Society made him deeply understand that he was the weakest one.
Although they have tried hard to master the use of the Spirit-Removing Gloves, they still cannot catch up with these people. Even Sadat and Inoue have caught up with the latecomers at some point.
Is this...the limit of a Quincy?
"Really, what an attitude!" Ichigo Kurosaki pouted, "I thought this guy would become easier to get along with."
"Not honest at all," Orihime Inoue smiled softly, "But such a person is not very annoying, right?"
"Okay... I'm home too." A smile appeared on Chado's face, who was silently watching a few people chatting. Everyone was still laughing and bickering, and everything seemed to be back to normal.
Worry seems really unnecessary.
············
A peaceful night.
The next day, several people met again at school.
"Good morning, Kurosaki." Inoue Orihime seemed to have regained her original firepower after taking a nap.
"Hi." Chado also smiled and waved.
"It looks like everything is fine." Uryu Ishida adjusted his glasses and said calmly.
"Of course nothing will happen. I told you that your worries are unnecessary."
Kurosaki Ichigo carried his backpack and opened the classroom door indifferently, "Things like the destruction of the world are just bluffs, let alone the plot of high school students saving the world in comics."
"Huh? Really? I think it would be like that... Wow woo hoo..."
Before Inoue Orihime could finish her words, Kurosaki Ichigo quickly turned around and covered her mouth, and her eyes started to blur with stars.
It seemed like this was the first time for Kurosaki Ichigo to contact her so actively.
At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo had no other thoughts at all, only fear.
Because as soon as he opened the door, he saw a terrifying existence.
That's right, that man... also returned to the present world!
On the side, Uryu Ishida and Taihu Sadatari were breaking out in cold sweat when they looked inside the door.
At this moment, Xuanhao was sitting leisurely in his seat and greeted them with a smile.
This made everyone feel at a loss. Once they knew what kind of existence the person in front of them was, they would never be able to go back to the past.
Although Kurosaki Ichigo seems indifferent on the surface, he believes in this man and knows what this man is like, so he feels that the problem is not as serious as some people think, but in fact he can understand the problems that those guys are worried about.
,After all...this man does have the power to subvert the entire world.
There is no doubt about it!
He just felt that the probability of such a thing happening was very small, or almost impossible.
Having received a lot of help from this man at this point, he and Rukia Kuchiki probably had the same idea - this man would probably not do anything that would make Inoue sad.
And because of this, he quickly covered Inoue Orihime's mouth.
Of course he knew that Inoue Orihime was joking, but such a joke could not come out of her mouth, let alone be heard by that man.
According to how much this guy dotes on Inoue, if Inoue says something like, "This seems good," this guy will be interested. How can he fulfill his sister's wish?
Ichigo Kurosaki said that he could not bear such responsibility and almost destroyed the world because of a joke. Who would believe him?
