Chapter 189

——As far as personalities are concerned, these two people really get along.

Under Kyoraku Shunsui's always tolerant strategy towards girls, Ayaka was specially granted a vacation to accompany Lily to visit the Seireitei; even Lily's expenses in Soul Society were reimbursed by the Eighth Division for a large part.

Talk about it.

It seems that more than half of the team's funds in the eighth division are provided by Kyoryaku.

"Of course Ayaka, too!"

Lily, who reluctantly left Yongyin's chest, soon "pulled" with Caihua.

What was supposed to be a somewhat sentimental farewell turned out to be full of laughter and laughter thanks to the joint efforts of these two people. If Byakuya's impatient eyebrows were not pressed to the corners of his eyes...

"Then I'm leaving!"

After another delay of almost half an hour, Lily finally stepped into the gate of the world-crossing gate.

"Be careful on the road!"

————

Not everyone can use the Kuchiki family's boundary gate.

Lily's ability to have such a big reputation was not only due to the favors she received from the Eighth Division, but more importantly, Haruto's current value.

"Then I'll report back to Division 8 first."

Accompanying her was also part of the mission. After Lily left, Caihua still had to compile a report and hand it in. The reason why the intelligence team was responsible for this work was to deepen their understanding of the Western Bureau.

Seireitei is relatively closed and rarely sends people to London to communicate.

"Okay, you're busy..."

Before Haruto finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ayaka with a smile.

"I'm not busy. I'll be back soon."

"..."

Haruto was actually choked.

"No, are you guys in Division 8 so idle?"

"Of course it's because the captain and deputy captains are very capable."

"..."

This is true.

On the surface, Lisa handled the work of the Eighth Division quite well, but the secret troubles were solved by Kyoryu a long time ago. The two of them had worked together in the Eighth Division for hundreds of years, and their tacit understanding was naturally extraordinary.

"Okay, leave early and come back early."

Haruto couldn't say anything.

"Then I..."

Yongyin is also preparing to return to Division 4.

Although the number of injured members of the Hueco Mundo Expedition has not decreased, the work pressure of the 11th Division has been reduced a lot because too many officers have died in this world.

Only then did Yongyin have time to ask for leave to see off his friends... Of course, with Yongyin's current seat in the fourth team, it seems that he didn't need to find anyone to ask for leave:

Captain Unohana and Deputy Captain Yamada are busy with things every day. The third seat in front of Yuine, Ie Village Yachiwa, is only responsible for the general affairs of the fourth division most of the time - including cleaning the Seireitei and other matters. Team communication——He is a very stable and reliable Mensao.

Therefore, in terms of ordinary treatment that is not too urgent, Yongyin is basically the first person in charge of the Fourth Division; and because of the reputation of the Kotetsu family in the Fourth Division, Yongine's position has also been won by many veterans of the Fourth Division. Member support.

"Yongyin!"

Ayaka, who hadn't gone far yet, shouted to Yongyin.

"I'll go to Division 4 to find you later, and we'll come back to play together~"

"..."

After all, Ayaka is the official chief officer of the intelligence team, and she still knows a lot about the situation in the fourth team...perhaps even more than Yongin, who only pays attention to the wounded.

"good."

Yongyin could only respond like this.

"Then I'll take the first step."

Yongyin continued what he had not finished before.

"Shall I send you off instantly?"

"No, no need!"

Shunpo as a gift?

Yongyin's face instantly turned crimson.

——Because of Ayaka’s interruption just now, Yongyin instantly thought of something that was difficult to explain in detail.

posture.

"I'll go back and hand over the mission. I'll be back soon."

"Uh-huh!"

Before Haruto could answer, Yongyin's figure had already disappeared far out of sight.

"Her Shunpo seems to have improved a lot."

Byakuya sighed beside him.

"...You deserve to be hundreds of years old before you find a wife."

Haruto muttered very quietly.

"What!?"

Byakuya frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

"I didn't speak just now. Are you hallucinating?"

"...I'm too lazy to argue with you."

————

Only Byakuya and Haruto were left in front of the crossing gate.

Speaking of which, they hadn't chatted alone for a long time.

"I didn't even take the time to ask you before."

Byakuya took the initiative and said.

"How is Tsunayoshiyo's phosphorus level?"

For this genius of the Tsunayashiro family who is as famous as Kuchiki Kyouga, Byakuya pays quite a lot of attention——

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he had long regarded Kuchiki Xianghe as a goal that needed to be surpassed.

"genius."

"The swastika is really strong, but she relies too much on her Zanpakutō abilities, and I'm afraid she doesn't have much experience in fighting at a disadvantage."

Haruto's remarks were not the polite ones he used during the report.

"From what I feel, she will never be your opponent when she becomes a third-level spiritual power."

"real or fake?"

Byakuya's tone was a bit strange, almost making Haruto hallucinate that he was beeping like a fake beep - Byakuya was a little uncomfortable with the sudden compliment.

"Do I need to praise you?"

Haruto gave Byakuya a roll of his eyes.

"The Zanpakutō ability of Tsunayashiro Hoshiphosphorus is related to the absorption and release of spiritual beings. The scope of enhancement is basically limited to the improvement of sharpness."

"With the same spiritual power, your Shunpo is faster than hers, and Senbonzakura's ability is even more powerful than hers. Winning is nothing."

Haruto is not just talking nonsense.

With the exception of the Zanpakutō, most of Tsunayoshi Hōsin's abilities were not acquired by her own cultivation. It is normal for an ordinary captain to behave like this. After all, most Shinigami will regard the Zanpakutō as the foundation for their livelihood.

But for the God of Death who has more goals, if the sword is restrained and it is impossible to hit it, that is the real laziness with a trembling mind.

"Then I..."

Just as Byakuya was about to speak, he was interrupted by Haruto:

"Your Kidō is not good enough. Muramasa Ten of Xianghe can defeat all Zanpakutō."

Haruto knew what Byakuya wanted to ask without even opening his mouth.

"......All right."

"It seems that it's time for Black Coffin to be put on the training agenda."

High-level Dao-breaking training above the 90th level can only be started at the captain level; but with Haruto's experience and Haruto's heartfelt comments just now, Byakuya feels that he is not a genius. no.

"correct!"

Byakuya suddenly thought.

"You said before that Tsunayashiro Seiyo might have come into contact with their family's inherited Zanpakutō?"

"right."

Haruto nodded and affirmed:

"Ignoring the secret steps and the black coffin, she did use the Zhiba family's Getsuga Ten Chong. This should be a secret of the Zhiba family."

"You may be wrong about this."

Byakuya rejected Haruto's idea.

"Um?"

"Things like Getsuga Tenchou. Outsiders without the true blood of the Shiba family can only imitate the appearance. The true essence cannot be learned."

Byakuya explained:

"Tsunayayo Hoshiphosphorus..."

"Since she regards the Getsuga Ten Chong as her final sure-kill move, it probably means that she possesses the true blood of the Shiba family."

"This is something that the Tsunayashiro family has been coveting for a long time. It cannot be obtained by relying on technology."

"You mean?"

Before Byakuya finished speaking, Haruto already knew what he was talking about.

"Yes, Tsunayashiro Hoshi is most likely a hybrid of the Tsunayashiro and Shiba families. This can also explain why her status in the Tsunayashiro family is so special."

"...The Golden Seal Nobles Council doesn't care about this matter?"

Intermarriage between the four nobles is a completely unacceptable taboo in the eyes of the Golden Seal Nobility Council.

"Illegitimate child."

"Otherwise, the Tsunayashiro family would not be filled with anger but nowhere to vent it."

Byakuya mocked a few words casually.

"correct."

"I remember you mentioned before that when you were dealing with that Quincy, you used the Holy Slave to absorb three captain-level spirit sons?"

"That's right."

The key to the battle with Shuberut is the extraordinary holy priest shown by Haruto, otherwise it will be another hard battle.

"Then wouldn't you be able to make a captain-level spiritual pressure of a third-level spirit power turn into a spirit child and return to Soul Society after death?"

It was rare for Byakuya to ask such a question that was consistent with his status as a noble.

"Thinking too much."

Haruto smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"The third-level spiritual power copied by the perfect holy body is different from the real captain level after all."

"If I had the ability..."
