Chapter 533: Unexpected Wedding Ceremony Location
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Ishida and others all gathered in Urahara store in formal attire, as if there was some kind of opening ceremony being held here.
"You bald man is finally here!"
Hiyori Sarugaki, who was so anxious that she was standing on tiptoe, saw Ichigo running towards him in a hurry. She was so angry that she yelled and even kicked her away. She must teach this little brat what punctuality means!
However, she was stopped by Hirako in advance before her action was carried out. In order to participate in today's ceremony, Hiyori rarely wore a skirt. Didn't she lose everything after just one kick?
"Don't look at me with such strange eyes!" Seeing everyone's reproachful looks, Ichigo quickly pointed behind him: "If I hadn't been waiting for the guy behind me, I wouldn't have been late!"
Snapped!
"What do you mean 'the guy in the back'? I'm your dad!" Isshin slapped Ichigo on the back of the head. Seeing everyone's looks, he quickly explained with a smile: "Aren't you worrying about what to wear? Originally, I was. I’m wearing a suit, but I’m wondering if it would be better to dress more traditionally.”
"In the end, I decided to wear a suit, and then I was confused about whether to wear a tie or a tie." Ichigo explained with a look of helplessness: "So it wasted a lot of time."
"Oh~!"
Haiyan stood up with a wry smile. Although his uncle didn't think favorably of Hong Jiang, he still seemed to attach great importance to the wedding. Of course, this might also be for Ye Yi's sake.
"Now that we are all here, let's set off. Otherwise, we might really miss the ceremony."
The group passed through the boundary gate, passed through the boundary safely, and finally arrived at the Seireitei in time.
Just after crossing the boundary gate here, there are three old acquaintances waiting here. After the battle with Aizen, they accepted Yamamoto's invitation to return to the Seireitei and are now the captains of the third division and the ninth division. Hobashiro Juro and Rokusha Kensai, as well as Kunan Haku who was smiling and waving next to Kensai, returned together.
"Captain Fengqiao, Captain Six Cars, why are you here?" Haiyan asked doubtfully.
"Of course we have to greet our old friends when they come." Fengqiao replied gently, while Quanxi looked cool: "But you are too late, right?"
"Okay, okay, the time is actually just right, so don't be so serious, Xiaoquanquan." Jiu Nanbai said with a smile, Quanxi, and regardless of the other party's objections to the title of 'Xiaoquanquan', he rushed forward and grabbed Rishi Seri's hand: "You're dressed up very cutely today, little Riri!"
"It's okay..." Hiyori had an awkward expression. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't defeat Hongjiang's bald guy, and that bald guy might really punish her for wearing a pair of slippers, she wouldn't have spread such disapproval. Convenient clothes.
"You two guys..." Pingzi rushed up and patted his two friends on the shoulders with a look of helplessness, thinking to himself, if that guy Hong Jiang is really serious, he probably sold the two people in front of him. They are all still having fun.
It was not that he was unlucky that Quanxi and Fengqiao came here to greet them out of their true intentions, but if they just went to the Fifth Division to attend the wedding, Haiyan would be fine.
These two have finally resumed their status as captains, and if they can 'condescend' to greet their group, it only means that the place they are going to is not any squad they are familiar with. Haiyan may be able to take them there, but It is more convenient to have two captains to greet you.
Quanxi and Fengqiao are not stupid people. Maybe they have thought of this themselves, but even if they didn't think of it, Hingzi felt that Hongjiang would "kindly" remind them. Although this method cannot be said to be exploitative, it is still mixed with something else. factors that make people feel a little uncomfortable.
Of course, Seireitei is such a troublesome place that can make simple things complicated. Hirako thought about it and changed his words: "You two have been waiting for a long time. I'm really sorry."
"No, I hope you can arrive safely." Fengqiao waved his hands and said, while Quanxi pointed behind him: "Of course, we have to leave as soon as possible, otherwise it will be true that we are too late."
"Yes!" Fengqiao nodded and said loudly to everyone: "Next, let us lead you to the ceremony site."
Today, neither Hobashi nor Kenishi is wearing Haori, who represents the captain's status. They are both wearing black loose kimonos, which looks quite out of place with the group of people behind them who are all wearing suits and dresses.
But as they approached the center of the Seireitei, they would encounter some men and women wearing kimonos from time to time, which made Ichigo and others feel a little out of place.
"Don't be nervous. They are all old guys who have lived for at least a few hundred years. They talk and dress in a more old-fashioned way." Hirako could see that Ichigo and others were a little uncomfortable, and said slowly: "We are different. It’s always good to have some ‘modern’ features. Standing with this group of people, Hongjiang and Yoruichi will be able to find us immediately when the ceremony is held.”
"But, we are all hundreds of years old, Mr. Hirako." Urahara reminded with a smile, causing Hirako to roll his eyes, "That's why I don't like you, a guy who has been in this world for so long and still wears old-fashioned clothes. I just thought you looked good in this suit, but I was really mistaken!"
Urahara spread his hands and looked down at his dark green suit, and said helplessly: "I also think that another suit suits me better."
"No, you are suitable for wearing that kind of old-fashioned clothes and stepping on those wooden clogs, like a bad old man."
The two people's quarrel gradually eased the tense atmosphere. Ishida looked around all the way, as if he had finally confirmed something and said: "The road we are taking doesn't seem to be the road to the Fifth Division?"
Haiyan nodded, "Yes, the official ceremony will not be held in the Fifth Division. After the ceremony, Hongjiang and Yoruichi will entertain you in the Fifth Division."
"Is that so." Ichigo also looked around, only to find that there were more and more people around, but the environment seemed to be getting more and more remote, "Then where are we going now? Why do we feel like we are walking into the mountains?"
"This..." Haiyan looked around and gradually lowered his voice: "We are going to the shrine now, which is where their wedding ceremony will be held."
"Shrine?" Ichigo and others looked at each other. They have seen many shrines in the world, but they have never seen any shrines in the Soul Society, at least they didn't see them when they came to rescue Rukia last time.
Moreover, the shrine dedicated to the god of death sounds a bit strange.
"The shrine that exists specifically for large-scale sacrificial ceremonies is a forbidden place like the Great Spiritual Book Corridor and the Forty-Six Chambers Pure Pagoda Forest. It is even more mysterious than the former two."
Hirako whispered, "Even I, who used to be a captain, have only been there a few times."
"I didn't expect that Hongjiang's wedding ceremony was really there, and..."
Hirako suddenly fell silent, and his eyes turned to Ichigo and others.
And you are really amazing, Chouzuka Hongjiang, for letting us "people" in together.
