Chapter 206 205: Desperate Shiba Isshin

Time moves forward a little.

"I'm back~"

A very energetic voice.

With short, side-parted orange hair, a student outfit, and a slim yet energetic figure, you can clearly feel the lively atmosphere of youth.

It's just that his current appearance, soaked by the rain and like a drowned rat, is really frowning upon.

Behavior without etiquette is not respected by the Ishida family, although the other party is still named "Kurosaki".

But sooner or later she will be the wife of the head of the Ishida family.

"Please be careful about your words and deeds."

"Ah...haha, sorry, sorry~ Remember to bring an umbrella next time."

Although I don't care much about these things, after all, I am staying in someone else's home, so I still need to have the proper attitude.

Kurosaki Masaki put away his flirtatious smile and pretended to be serious.

"It won't happen next time, um, I promise!"

——It’s just that the effect doesn’t seem to be very good.

Perhaps because they are already habitual offenders, everyone's attitude is relatively cold.

"Hey hey hey..."

Masaki Kurosaki could only smile bitterly and pat the back of his head.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, or you'll catch a cold."

A familiar voice came from the side, Kurosaki Masaki's expression changed, and soon returned to the smiling look.

"Xiaolong, you came back really early. You're here around the same time as I am after school?"

Ryugen Ishida.

He has side-parted short hair that covers his forehead and wears flat-rimmed glasses. He looks cold and arrogant.

At this moment, he just showed a rather helpless expression.

"I didn't take a detour to see other people having fun stepping in puddles in the rain."

"Well……"

"Hurry up, the food is getting cold."

Both in tone and content.

They are all cold and uncaring outlines.

However, Kurosaki Masaki doesn't care too much, because she can understand that this is the tone of the Ishida family that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Even in the Quincy system that pays attention to bloodline and education.

The Ishida family can still have its own reputation. Such etiquette and education are the source of it.

Don't do stupid things...

After putting on clean clothes in the room, Masaki Kurosaki looked out the window at the gloomy scenery.

His expression, as cheerful as the sun, now had an outline called sadness.

Logically speaking, you really shouldn't do things that don't make sense.

but……

‘If you don’t try it, there’s really no point in doing it, right? ’

Time is something that cannot be redeemed.

That’s why you need to cherish every moment of the present.

Although it is annoying to cause trouble to others, consider that you can also do the laundry yourself later.

Masaki Kurosaki's smile returned to her face.

Hmm~ Hmm~ Although I have only seen similar scenes in movies, but after experiencing it in person, it does have a completely different feeling.

It's not annoying.

"Miss Kurosaki, Master Longxian is urging you again..."

There was a knock on the door, and Kurosaki Masaki hurriedly speeded up and quickly changed his outfit.

Dinner time.

To be honest, this is the time period that gives Kurosaki Masaki the most headache.

There is no extra time to taste the delicious food, and most of the energy is spent on dealing with other people's teachings.

——You must know etiquette.

——Don’t be too frivolous.

——You need to correct your mentality.

If you can't teach it once, just teach it ten times. Even if it's just the most basic instruction, these people will repeat it again and again.

At certain times, Kurosaki Masaki would also sincerely lament the upbringing of the Ishida family.

Don't want to bother others.

So if it can make everyone happy and achieve happiness, Masaki Kurosaki can completely accept it if he just has to work harder.

It's just a pity...

Some things are just nature.

No matter how cautious he was, Kurosaki Masaki still couldn't act decently.

On the contrary, these deliberately copied actions highlighted her sense of playfulness, like a monkey imitating human behavior.

"puff……"

There was no malice in the voice that could not help but laugh.

But falling into Ishida Ryuxian's ears at this moment made him feel even more uncomfortable.

He has not yet spoken out to reprimand others.

Masaki Kurosaki smiled and spoke first.

"Ah~ the etiquette of eating is really complicated. It seems that I still have a lot to learn... Now, what do you think, Xiaolong~"

Ishida Ryugen's expression suddenly became tense.

He lowered his eyes and his tone became a little hesitant.

"Here, don't use this title in public..."

"Ah, sorry, Mr. Ishida, I just can't remember these things, hehe."

Because the behavioral habits are too familiar.

So much so that people can't tell for a moment - whether this is a deliberate act of self-destruction for the sake of others, or whether it is a naive thought that is so simple that it makes people sigh.

Dinner time is over.

Ishida Ryusei watched Kurosaki Masaki greet everyone energetically, then turned and left.

The expression on his face gradually changed from dull to embarrassed.

Although the relationship between the two is that of 'cousins'.

But in the Quincy clan, which values ​​bloodline and inheritance, their final destination was, not surprisingly, to become a couple.

Ask yourself.

Ishida Ryugen definitely likes Kurosaki Masaki.

Unlike the cold and indifferent atmosphere prevailing in the family, Masaki's vitality is always illuminating the corners of the Ishida family.

Let the rusted and corroded areas be clearly visible.

This woman who is as bright as the sun, Ishida Ryugen's admiration for her is absolutely not small.

But...

Will such an arrangement really make Kurosaki Masaki feel happy?

To this day, I have not had any chance to really ask the other party's thoughts.

Although there is the grace of raising her and the arrangements made by the elders in the past... Kurosaki Masaki will not show too much resistance.

But Ishida Ryugen does not think this is right.

Human happiness.

Should not be built on the misfortune of others.

Although it was not a long time, this is also the meaning that Ishida Ryugen understood in Kurosaki Masaki.

He does want to be happy, but before that... Masaki should not sacrifice herself to fulfill others.

I have to find an opportunity to confess to the other party.

Thinking about these complicated thoughts, Ishida Ryugen stood up and stopped the back figure walking in the corridor.

"Wait..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Xiaolong."

Looking at the face full of innocence, Ishida Ryugen choked for a moment.

What he wanted to say was not complicated, but his brain seemed to be rusted, and began to turn stiffly with a dull and slow posture.

But it was okay, it was not exaggerated to the extent that people stopped thinking.

Although it was extremely difficult, he was still able to say it out loud - it came from the inner thoughts of Ishida Ryugen.

"That, I think..."

The voice was not finished.

Just because at this moment, outside the Ishida family's mansion, at the intersection of the sky.

A bright and flickering light, like a summer fireworks display, suddenly "bloomed" at this moment.

The two people present turned their heads almost at the same time and showed a stunned expression.

"...Huh?"

What was just now?

If an ordinary person witnessed such a stunning moment, nine out of ten would think it was an inexplicable explosion and accident.

However, good upbringing and quality, as well as the talent of being a Quincy.

Let Ishida Ryugen analyze the origin of the current situation in an instant.

'The fluctuation of spiritual pressure is obvious...'

'There are two sources, both with obvious signs of collision. '

'It's not just an ordinary person, it's probably two very strong spirits fighting each other...'

His right hand curled up subconsciously, and at the same time as his expression changed slightly, the spirit particles hidden in his body also flowed through the blood at this moment.

Until it spread all over his body.

He was ready to deal with unexpected events, but it was not time to take action at this moment.

After all, the situation was unclear, and the best choice at this time was naturally to wait and see.

But Kurosaki Masaki had already turned around and ran out of the door.

This completely disrupted Ryugen's plan.

"Wait, Masaki!"

The response was an increasingly accelerated speed.

Ignoring the calls of others, Kurosaki Masaki was not used to doing such things... and would not do it.

But at this moment, her expression was extremely resolute.

Just because within the range of perception, the breath of a certain spiritual pressure was rapidly weakening at this moment.

One side.

It seemed to have reached the stage of dying.

…

"Damn..."

The whole body hurts.

At this moment, it seems that even the strength to raise the hand has been lost.

Falling from the sky until it came to a certain road.

Shiba Isshin's figure was extremely embarrassed. He seemed to have wanted to land in a proper posture, but his body rolled into a ball in an embarrassing manner just when it touched the paved road.

The physical condition was far worse than expected.

The whole person fell to the ground, Shiba Isshin gritted his teeth, and tried to stand up by supporting his knees with one hand.

But he could only adjust to a half-kneeling posture.

Tinnitus, headache, twitching throat...

Symptoms like these all mixed together, making Isshin Shiba feel like a tattered warship that is about to sink.

Breathing.

Adjusting the frequency can adjust his attention so that he doesn't pay much attention to the current physical condition.

However, this action has no special meaning, because the blood on his forehead soaks into his left eye, making his vision become a blurry outline.

Can't stay here for too long... have to keep moving.

Otherwise, if he is caught up later, it will be really all over.

'And I have to find a way to contact other captains. '

The threat level of this hollow is absolutely exaggerated.

If he still had the idea of ​​defeating the enemy at the beginning, Isshin Shiba has completely given up resistance now.

Even if he is in a good state, he still has no confidence that he can kill the opponent after opening the Bankai.

Unlimited hollow flash.

The firepower like a turret can almost make people breathless.

At the same time, another ability is even more troublesome...

'The ghost way has no effect on this guy. '

There is no doubt that this is an important intelligence information. If he is not sent back to Soul Society, even if he dies here, Shiba Isshin will not be able to rest in peace!

Gritting his teeth, he looked around for other ways to retreat.

But before his thoughts could settle, a meteor-like figure fell from the sky and hit the paved road heavily.

A deep pit of nearly five meters appeared, and he raised his hand to block the gravel in front of him.

Shiba Isshin's expression was extremely stiff.

He caught up so quickly? !

He tried every means to distance himself, just to be able to "steal" this few moments of respite.

But compared to the planned time, the gap he got now was only more than half of what he expected.

"Gu..."

An unknown low hum rolled in his throat, breaking through the smoke, and the monster slowly stepped forward to reveal its figure.

The elegant and snow-white long body, without any scars on it, also foreshadowed this one-sided battle.

Such a look made Shiba Isshin completely reveal a "desperate" expression.

It was called a fight, but in fact it was a one-sided attack from the opponent... I couldn't find any room to fight back.

Escape or not.

I couldn't win.

Shiba Isshin was like a piece of rotten meat without any resistance.

There was no other choice except to let others do whatever they wanted.

In the midst of the severe pain, even his consciousness began to become hazy. Shiba Isshin breathed heavily and couldn't help thinking in his heart.

'Such a guy... Even if Mr. Yamamoto went into battle himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to deal with it easily. '

Is it an excuse to get rid of his failure.

Or is it simply a sigh because of the opponent's strength.

What the reason is, it is unknown at this moment. But no matter what, Shiba Isshin has only one option left at this moment.

"Pooh!"

He spat out the blood clot in his mouth.

Due to the critical condition and excessive blood loss, he was on the verge of losing consciousness.

Shiba Isshin stood up with all his strength. He clenched his Zanpakutō and showed a weak and provocative smile.

"Come on, don't you just want to kill me?"

"Go ahead... Go ahead!"

"Monster!"

The roar of the trapped beast was meaningless.

"It's over."

Tōsen, who had been watching from the sidelines, decided at this moment.

However, this feeling was not recognized by the other two.

Aizen Sosuke and Arima Shizuya, both of them looked in the same direction at this moment.

It was the top of the building at the edge of the road.

About ten stories high, two figures stood in the wind.

The rain fluttered and splashed on the two people, but it seemed that it did not stick to their clothes and bodies.

Because if you look closely, you can see that there is a faint glow under their skin.

The blue light flowed continuously at their wrists, condensed quickly, and finally formed something like a longbow.

The spirit particles began to condense rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Spirit particle aggregation.

Gather the spirit particles in the air onto the weapon, or destroy something made of spirit particles, gradually decompose it into spirit particles, and then gather it onto the weapon.

The more stable the structure of the spirit particle structure, the longer it takes to gather the spirit particles.

This method of use is quite unfamiliar to the Death God, but it is the basic means and power of another group.

"Wow..."

A sigh, as if it was a sigh, but more like a curious tone, emerged subtly from the mouth of the prison master.

"Is this the Quincy?"

As soon as the voice fell.

Arrows rushed out as dense as rain.
