so.

Why did things end up like this?

Although I know that with my joining, the subsequent plot changes will probably become bigger and bigger...

But I didn’t expect that even the person who was going to be hung on the wall would have to be myself? !

Arima Jing was also confused.

——Do you think this is the curse of being the captain of the fifth division?

Either the prison master was stabbed or he went into battle. Is the fate of the captain of the support team to merge with the wall?

Nan Wu San, how cruel!

"Captain Arima, what's on your mind lately?"

A sudden question.

Arima Shizuo, who was yawning in the yard and was about to take a short break, suddenly shuddered.

After confirming the plan with the prison master and starting planning and layout, nearly three days have passed.

Touching his cheek, Arima Shizuya showed a rather strange expression.

"Why do you feel this way?"

Hinamori Momo on the side tilted her head, but she never stopped drying the clothes on her hands.

"Huh? Well...there's no particular reason. It's just a feeling."

After all, we have been together for a long time.

"Captain may not feel it himself, but when you enter a more troubled state, there will always be an indescribable subtle feeling on your face."

"..."

Do you want it to be so mysterious?

After giving thousands of instructions to the prison master, he finally came up with a genius plan.

Arima Shizuya could not help but laugh twice as he was almost "seen through" by the woman in front of him.

What a mistake.

Hinamori could see the strangeness, but in Kotetsu Yuine's eyes, it was obviously a more obvious feeling of awkwardness.

It seems that I am really not very good at concealing things.

While sighing, Arima Shizu simply adjusted her mentality and said in a joking tone.

"Well, yes. There are indeed things that are worrying me recently."

Put down your clothes and drape your sleeves.

Hinamori Momo said in a serious tone as she knelt down directly beside Arima Shizuya.

"If possible, I would like to help you share the burden!"

...You are so positive.

However, it is indeed ‘just what I want’.

Raising his hands and gently pressing his temples, Arima Shizu said after considering it.

"I'm worried. My health seems to be suddenly getting worse recently."

"Ahem... You said, if one day I suddenly have an accident and die suddenly at work."

"What will the big guys think of me?"

As if touching some magical switch, Hinamori Momo's originally relatively normal expression suddenly became abstract.

He tensed his body and frowned. His throat rolled up and down half a circle, and the words came out as if he were thinking faster than he could think.

"Such a thing! It's absolutely impossible!"

"Ahaha... So it's just a joke, just a joke."

"Please don't make fun of your own health!"

"I'll apologize later... Anyway, can you imagine it as I said?"

Really.

So difficult? After all, you are the captain and I am the captain?

I don’t know if it was the compromising tone that took effect, or if I simply heard Arima Shizuya’s assurance that he would apologize afterwards.

Hinamori Momo no longer struggled with the content of this 'proposal', but folded her hands in front of her chest and lowered her head slightly, showing a thoughtful expression.

"If, if it really happens..."

"At least the members of our fifth team will definitely feel quite uncomfortable."

"After all, we failed to take good care of the captain. This is essentially the dereliction of duty of our fifth team."

Being responsible is a good thing.

But it shouldn't be exaggerated to this extent.

Arima Shizuya smiled helplessly, shook his head and said.

"Birth, old age, illness and death are also human nature. If you are so entangled with an individual like me, you...ah, I'm sorry, I won't say anymore."

You continue.

Hinamori Momo narrowed her eyes and deleted the several hundred words of prepared content related to the fifth division.

Then reconceptualize other aspects of speculation.

"For those who are closer to me, Vice Captain Kotetsu will definitely be very sad."

"Then Gin-senpai who often walks around with Captain Arima, Captain Aizen, and Captain Tosen must be the same."

"There are also Captain Nirvana and Captain Kuchiki who seem difficult to get in touch with on weekdays..."

Listening to Hinamori Momo counting the names one by one like a treasure.

Shizuya Arima couldn't help but look dazed for a moment.

In a sense, this can also be regarded as a kind of "obsession with the authorities".

After all, as a party involved, it is difficult for Arima Shizu to remove himself from this environment and judge his own situation with a critical eye.

Now through the other party's mouth.

He seemed to have some understanding of the prison master's intentions.

Although the prison master in the original work is kind, his relationships with many people are superficial due to personality problems.

But what about yourself?

It is no exaggeration to say that through these years of experience, Arima Shizuya has established a strong and trusting relationship with many people.

Only in terms of ‘lethality’.

It is indeed far more powerful than the death of a polite and honest person.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and Arima Shizuo seemed to feel helpless and shook his head.

Since everything has been arranged, I won't make irresponsible remarks on the plan itself. As of now, things are just around the corner...

Had to send it.

"Well, I understand. Next, I want to take a short rest. Hinamori, just..."

I am speechless.

Because the other party had his hands on his waist and stood directly in front of him with a very serious expression.

The corners of his mouth were drooped and his brows were furrowed.

It seems that the purpose is to express "I am very unhappy" through facial control.

But it's a little lacking in terms of senses. After all, this guy is not very tall, and his facial features also look childish.

so.

...whose child?

"Well, do you have any questions?"

"Captain Arima promised before, apologize!"

You still remember this thing!

But after all, it is what you say, and you have to fulfill it no matter how helpless it is.

"Sorry, sorry... I accidentally forgot about it just now."

"snort!"

No, it still made you get sick?

But even so, Arima Shizuya wouldn't say anything here.

After all, the essence of the other party's behavior is still out of concern and other purposes.

There is no need for Ma Jing, and he will not say those excessive words to people who care about him.

"Okay, I won't joke about this anymore... Well, I won't do it next time."

A change in tone is a manifestation of the best attitude.

Hinamori Taoning choked for a moment, and her expression slowly relaxed.

"Then captain, please remember, never mention this kind of thing again!"

Arima Shizuya stopped talking and just smiled silently.

Even if they are unwilling or do not want to do these things...the parties concerned cannot make other decisions.

After all, it comes down to it.

Arima Shizuya has been on an unknown path from the beginning.

This is a far more difficult and dangerous road than Aizen Sosuke's journey, and now... I will also face countless difficulties and dilemmas.

You have to start adjusting your mentality.

Try...not to let those immature thoughts affect your state.

Arima Shizuya adjusted his inner thoughts, his expression changed slightly, and finally he showed a familiar plain smile.

"Thank you, Hinamori."

Without this conversation, Arima Shizu might not have been able to realize that he himself was afraid of doing this kind of behavior.

However, this mood was completely restrained at this moment.

It is normal to not be understood by others, so become mature quickly - Arima Shizuya.

In comparison, Hinamori Momo, who no longer had the advantage in the conversation, also returned to normal at this moment.

"Huh? Well, it's not that Captain Arima needs to express his gratitude..."

His right hand stirred the hair hanging down from his temples, his expression showing an indescribable shyness.

"Rather than saying these kind words, everyone definitely hopes that Captain Arima will recover slowly and live in good health."

Very plain, simple description.

But it is also the most straightforward request.

Arima Shizuo pursed her lips in disbelief and smiled helplessly.

"Well, I'll try my best."

"Mr. Kurosaki, your sword was not broken."

"It's just that he hasn't shown his original appearance yet."

"And the so-called Zanpakutō is a specific image reflected in the heart of the God of Death."

Therefore.

"Go and find it, in your deep inner world."

"In a real place where whitewash and disguise have faded away."

"Find your true power."

Urahara Kisuke's voice was playful and subtle, and he was maintaining an aggressive posture at this moment, constantly putting pressure on the boy in front of him.

Only the hilt of the knife was left, no matter how it looked, it was still stubbornly resisting.

But Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes flinched.

Because what the other person said...is not unfamiliar to me.

If so.

If the Zanpakutō is the embodiment of one's own heart, then oneself...

There should indeed be ‘another knife’.

Constantly resist and fight back.

Although his steps were staggering, the light in Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes was gradually 'boiling'.

It was as if something was rolling and trembling in the body, and there was an indescribable feeling of boredom in the chest, which made people have an urge close to 'not vomiting but not happy'.

"That's a very interesting expression, Mr. Kurosaki. It seems that you are only one step away from success."

Look sideways, sway.

In the next moment, Urahara Kisuke's Zanpakutō, which had shed its shell from the cane, stabbed Ichigo's face from a very tricky angle.

A sense of danger hanging by a thread.

The hairs all over my body stand on end, my heart beats faster, and my breathing becomes rapid!

It was in this fleeting moment that Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to hear an explosive buzz...

The world froze at this moment.

At the same time, everything began to 'fade' rapidly.

There was no other brilliance left. In this world where only black and white existed, Kurosaki Ichigo saw two familiar figures standing behind him.

left side.

A vicissitudes of life man wearing a plain black robe, long flowing hair, and goggles on his face.

right side.

The whole body is wrapped in a hazy mist that does not change, regardless of face or expression, only the outline of a strange person remains.

"You guys, this is..."

Although it should be the ‘first meeting’ from a physical sense, for no reason, Kurosaki Ichigo can feel a clear sense of familiarity.

As if.

It was as if he had known each other for a long, long time.

Kurosaki Ichigo opened his mouth slightly.

It seemed that he wanted to say something, but before he could speak.

The two people behind him said it together.

“Don’t look back.”X2

The figure on the left floated in the air, like ink seeping into a painting.

A thick ‘black’ glow was spread in the air.

“Retreat leads to aging.”

“Weakness leads to death.”

The figure on the right stood on the ground, as if correcting the blank page of the world.

A dazzling ‘pure white’ color appeared around him.

“Courage opens the way.”

“Fearlessness overcomes all difficulties.”

Black and white began to interweave and mix.

The two voices began to overlap and overlap.

“Shout out loud, my name.”X2

No prompts needed.

Everything was destined at the moment of birth.

Ichigo Kurosaki subconsciously tightened the hilt in his hand and shouted with a solemn expression.

"Zan Yue!"

Boom! ! !

The energy of the soul began to overflow.

A blue torrent appeared from Ichigo Kurosaki's body, like a floodwater.

It violently "collided" with the originally stagnant world!

The unparalleled sense of existence, at this moment, even more exaggerated spiritual pressure.

The hilt in Ichigo Kurosaki's hand was wrapped by a complete band of light, from invisible to visible... Such a subtle touch is the transformation of the heart into reality.

Urahara Kisuke's expression changed slightly.

After all, this degree of "disturbance" is really unexpected.

'Just the overflowing spiritual pressure has been exaggerated to this extent? '

As everyone knows.

Spiritual pressure is a manifestation of the overall energy of the soul.

The more powerful the individual, the more exaggerated the energy contained in his body.

This is the case with a glimpse of the leopard in the tube.

Thoughts were still flowing in his mind, but the next moment, a huge crisis emerged.

Urahara Kisuke couldn't help but frowned frivolously - he wanted to react, but time was tight and he could only make simple defensive actions.

Afterwards.

The usually calm and playful Urahara store manager was hit hard by a "Getsuga Tensho".

The experience of the person involved and the victim is another matter.

At this moment, in the inner space of Kurosaki Ichigo. Two souls with different meanings are looking at each other.

It can't be said to be hostile.

But the attitudes of both sides are indeed a bit subtle.

Maintaining the appearance of Yhwach a thousand years ago, symbolizing the power of the Quincy, he slowly said at this moment.

"Why don't you want to fight for it?"

The power of the Quincy took the dominant position, and even when calling its name, the situation was the same as in the original work... There was no difference in any sense.

The object held by Kurosaki Ichigo was still just a fragment that could not be suppressed and thus leaked out.

Hearing the question, Arima Shizuka, who was surrounded by fog, just replied calmly.

"I just think it's unnecessary. After all, we have the same goal, right?"

It's not for obtaining something.

It's simply to protect the individual named Kurosaki Ichigo.

"If you don't want to give him power, I can't convince you."

"Although it's not impossible to take action, it will still be Ichigo who is troubled in the end."

"So I just chose a more peaceful solution. Anyway, there will be opportunities later, so there's no need to rush."

'Yhuhabach' snorted softly.

"Do you want to change my will?"

The attitude was arrogant and complacent.

Indeed, just like his identity, under the premise of not targeting Kurosaki Ichigo, the other party's attitude was full of contempt.

Arima Shizuka also shrugged, but he didn't mean to argue.

"It's not such a serious matter. I just think... you will understand sooner or later."
