Chapter 235 Don’t let me down
cold……

This was the only feeling that Hitsugaya Toushirou had unconsciously.

It was as if I was thrown into an ice river while in a sleeping state. Endless cold seemed to envelope me, invade me, devour me, and make my life and even my soul sink continuously.

Hitsugaya Toshiro didn't know how long this coldness would accompany him, and how long it had already accompanied him.

He only knew that when the coldness was gone and warmth began to return to his body, his consciousness was finally able to float up, allowing him to gradually regain consciousness.

"Pah...pah..."

Suddenly, Hitsugaya Toshiro heard a noise, like something burning and breaking.

"are you awake?"

Then, Hitsugaya Toshiro heard the familiar voice again.

"Now that you're awake, get up quickly."

Hearing this, Hitsugaya Toushirou opened his eyes and sat up suddenly.

"Hyorinmaru!"

The first thing Hitsugaya Toushirou shouted when he woke up was this.

Because his last memory was the moment when Hyorinmaru's Bankai was forcibly released, so he shouted like that the first moment he woke up.

But the battle was over long ago.

"Why are you so nervous? No one is stealing from you!"

The familiar voice came again from the side, and at the same time a Zanpakuto was thrown over.

"Here, I return it to you."

Hearing these casual words, Hitsugaya Toshiro quickly caught the Zanpakutō that was thrown at him.

That was his Hyorinmaru.

After getting Hyorinmaru, Hitsugaya Toushirou felt relieved and had the energy to observe his surroundings.

He was surprised to find that he was still in the same place, on the border of the 80th district, Saraki District, in Northern Ryukon Street.

However, there is no ice or snow here, nor is there a dark sky. Both the earth and the trees are the same as when we first arrived, and have not been frozen into ice at all.

The snowstorm was gone, and the coldness disappeared without a trace. A warmth flowed between heaven and earth, as if nothing had happened. It was a sunny and nice day.

Aize sat next to Hitsugaya Toshiro, with a bonfire burning in front of him. The firelight shone on Hitsugaya Toshiro's body, making him understand where the warmth he felt at first came from.

He lay next to the campfire, very close to it, his body was warmed by it, and he no longer felt the coldness he had felt before.

"Are you okay?" Aize looked at Hitsugaya Toushirou, roasting himself by the fire, and said with a wicked smile: "Does it feel like waking up from a dream?"

"I..." Hitsugaya Toushirou frowned, holding his Zanpakutō, and after a moment of silence, he murmured, "Was everything that just happened a dream?"

Hitsugaya Toushirou actually had such a thought.

"So, what does the dream taste like?" Aize didn't confirm or deny it, but just said casually: "Did it give you any inspiration?"

Hearing this, Hitsugaya Toshiro looked at Aize and finally asked the most important question.

"Captain Ai, why do you have a second Hyorinmaru?"

Hitsugaya Toushirou asked Aize in an extremely complicated tone.

However, Aize blinked.

"A second Hyorinmaru? What second Hyorinmaru?" Aize said innocently, "How could I have a Hyorinmaru? My Zanpakutō is here!"

Aize lifted up her sleeveless white haori and showed the Zanpakutō tied around her waist to Hitsugaya Toushirou.

But Hitsugaya Toshiro was anxious.

"You just used Hyorinmaru and froze me!"

Hitsugaya Toushirou's accusation only earned him an even more innocent expression from Aize.

"Young man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Aize said seriously, "My Zanpakutō doesn't have any freezing ability, and it's not called Hyorinmaru. You can't blame me for being frozen, you should blame Hyorinmaru, right?"

After hearing this, how could Hitsugaya Toshiro not understand what was going on?
The man in front of him had no intention of admitting what happened before, and was going to deny that he had used Hyorinmaru!

"No...how could you do this?"

Hitsugaya Toushirou was dumbfounded.

"So, what are you talking about?" Aize spread his hands and said helplessly: "Didn't you say you wanted to practice using the Hyorinwan here, but you accidentally made a mistake and froze yourself?"

"I didn't do anything. Not to mention a second Hyorinmaru, I don't even have a second Ryujin Jakka."

"A god of death can only possess one Zanpakutō. This is common sense. Didn't you learn that at the Shinō Spiritual Academy? Vice-Captain Hitsugaya?"

Seeing that Aize was refusing to admit his mistake, Hitsugaya Toshiro's eyes twitched and he almost drew his Zanpakutō and slashed the other party.

But when he thought of the previous disastrous defeat, Hitsugaya Toushirou knew that even if he took action, he would be the one who would suffer in the end.

"…You don't have to admit it."

Hitsugaya Toushirou took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and spoke to Aize.

"But you have to teach me how to use Hyoringan."

This battle with Aize made Hitsugaya Toshiro completely realize what he was missing and why he was unable to master the power of Hyorinmaru.

Just like Aize said, he was too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and he finished a road that might not be figured out even if he spent his whole life to ponder the theory of death in a short time. As a result, he took steps too big and too fast, and ignored the scenery that he might encounter and should have seen on the road.

When he didn't have his Zanpakutō, he was listening to the sound of his Zanpakutō and was about to call out its name. After he got his Zanpakutō, he mastered Shikai not long after. As a result, as soon as he mastered Shikai, he began to study Bankai. He didn't stop at all to familiarize himself with the power of Hyourinmaru.

Thinking carefully about my past life, although it has always been smooth sailing, and I have not been stumped by the Shikai that stumps most of the Shinigami, nor by the Bankai that stumps 99% of the Shinigami, but I have only practiced them, not mastered them.

Success in cultivation is only a beginning, but one regards it as the end, as completed, and starts to move to the next step impatiently. How can one master everything proficiently?

"I'll start from the beginning again." Hitsugaya Toushirou looked at Aize and said seriously, "Please teach me how to do it."

Hitsugaya Toushirou's words made Aize smile slightly at first, and then he said something.

"I don't mind helping you, but I think that instead of asking me for advice, you should ask Hyorinmaru for help."

These words made Hitsugaya Toushirou stunned.

"Please ask Hyorinmaru?"

He seemed to have never had such a thought before, and he was unable to react for a long time.

Seeing this, Aize continued to roast the fire while speaking leisurely.

"The person who knows your Zanpakutō best is not me, nor you, but it itself." "It knows better than anyone how strong its own power is, and it knows better than anyone how to use its own power."

"Whether it's Shikai or Bankai, aren't they both accomplished with their own permission?"

To perform Shikai, one needs to hear the voice of the Zanpakutō and be told the name by the Zanpakutō.

Bankai requires that the Zanpakutō be materialized first and then made to submit to oneself.

Whether it is Shikai or Bankai, it needs to be completed through the Zanpakutō itself.

In that case, why not listen to your Zanpakutō's opinion?

"If you want to master the power of your Zanpakuto, you must first understand your Zanpakuto." Ai Ze glanced at Hitsugaya Toushirou and said, "Let me ask you, how many times have you talked to your Zanpakuto?"

Naturally, Hitsugaya Toushirou could not answer this question.

So, he fell into silence and was speechless.

"It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Start with a conversation and get to know Hyorinmaru step by step."

After saying this, Aize himself felt a little emotional.

Come to think of it, there seemed to be very little conversation between myself and my Zanpakutō.

Because they are of one mind and one body, and have become one after recognizing the Lord, they can understand each other's will without dialogue, and there is no problem of not being able to understand each other.

All the special warriors will submit to Aize equally, obey Aize, take Aize's will as their own will, and entrust everything to him without any reservation.

Thanks to this, Aize doesn't need to listen to the sound of his Zanpakutō to know its name, and can make his Zanpakutō submit without materializing. Whether it is Shikai or Bankai, he can fully master it the moment he completes the recognition of the master. There is no need for familiarity, running-in, or training. He can perfectly display his power in an instant.

In other words, although Aize knew how to gradually master his Zanpakuto and knew what to do best, he had never done it himself.

The moment he touched the Zanpakutō, he knew what to do, but this process was skipped directly by his own authority, and the result was achieved quickly.

"This golden finger is fun, but I've lost the enjoyment of the process."

Aize thought about such things shamelessly.

Hitsugaya Toshiro, who had no idea what kind of cool guy was sitting in front of him, fell into deep thought.

"I know what to do."

After a while, Hitsugaya Toshiro clenched his Zanpakutō and nodded solemnly to Aize.

"That's good." Aize smiled and said, "This way I can explain to Hinamori."

"Hinamori?" Hitsugaya Toshiro was stunned.

"Why do you think I went all the way to the 10th Squad's barracks to catch you and teach you a lesson? Am I too idle? Or is there too little work for the 3rd Squad?" Aize rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Isn't it because my vice-captain is too worried about her childhood friend and is afraid that her childhood friend will be upset, so she came to me for help?"

"Didn't that girl often do this when you were still in the Maou Spiritual Academy?"

"Why? Did you forget?"

Hitsugaya Toshiro pursed his lips, thinking of his childhood sweetheart. He felt mixed emotions in his heart, but his body felt warmer for some reason.

"If you understand, then I'll be ready to go back."

Aize then stood up, allowing Hitsugaya Toushirou to come back to his senses and quickly stand up as well.

"Thank you for your guidance, Captain Ai." Hitsugaya Toushirou looked directly at Ai Ze, bowed solemnly, and said, "I will remember what you said today."

"Don't be like that. You're older than me. How can you say such things?" Aize teased Hitsugaya Toushirou jokingly, then suddenly said, "If you can really remember what I said today, then hurry up and finish what you need to do."

"After a while, there may not be that kind of time left for you."

These words made Hitsugaya Toushirou stunned again.

"What do you mean?"

Hitsugaya Toushirou looked puzzled.

"Don't ask. Even if you ask, I don't know how to explain it to you." Aize shook his head and said, "You just need to know that soon, Soul Society will be in chaos."

Since Isshin Shiba has disappeared and the captain of the 10th Division has been re-elected, the original plot should be officially beginning soon, right?
Others don’t know where Zhiba Isshin went, but Aize knows it very well, and he also knows what his disappearance means.

You know, the protagonist of this world is Shiba Isshin's son.

Now, Zhiba Isshin has been missing for a while, so his son should be able to go out and play, right?
Perhaps, in a few years, Rukia Kuchiki will go to the real world to settle down and meet the protagonist of the original work.

At that time, in order to defeat the Hollow that attacked her, Rukia Kuchiki had to give her own spiritual power to the other party, making the other party a god of death.

It is also from that moment that the true wonders and dangers of this world will gradually be revealed.

"I have been in Soul Society for long enough. I have gained all the fame and status I deserve. If I want to make this life experience more exciting, I need those who are going to make big moves to show up as soon as possible."

Aize looked at the sky and smiled suddenly.

"I have been putting up with you for quite some time, you know? Please don't let me down..."

Hitsugaya Toushirou heard Aize's mumbling, but he didn't find it impressive.

"Captain Ai?"

He could only speak tentatively and called out to the other party.

"Let's go, it's time to go back to eat."

Aize withdrew his gaze and all kinds of random thoughts and stretched lazily.

"I wonder what delicious food Hinamori made for me this time..."

"Tempura? Or hamburger steak?"

“It’s the end of the year.”

After saying that, Aize took a step forward, activated the instant step, and his figure disappeared.

"Make delicious food? The vice-captain is in charge of this?"

Hitsugaya Toshiro was a little confused. Seeing Aize using flash step to leave, he hurried to follow, thinking silently in his heart while using flash step.

"Let's go back and give Captain Ichimaru a try..."

At this moment, in the captain's office of the 10th squad's barracks, a handsome guy suddenly shuddered.

"…Is it Rangiku who is still scolding me?"

He muttered to himself in confusion.

It’s a pity that the answer to this question will never appear...
