Chapter 237 You are the straight man, right?

"Ok?"

At this moment, Aize was a little surprised.

Seeing Byakuya Kuchiki standing in front of him, looking at him coldly, with a terrifying spiritual pressure gradually emanating from his body, Aize felt surprised and amazed at the same time.

"It seems that after the last battle, you spent a lot of time training in private."

The spiritual pressure emanating from Byakuya Kuchiki became even stronger than during his previous battle with Aize.

This is enough to show that it's not just Aize and Abarai Renji, but Byakuya Kuchiki has also been improving himself, training hard, and not wasting his time in Soul Society.

Although I don’t know how much he has improved, but at least judging from his spiritual pressure, his strength should be much stronger than before.

"As expected of you, you are the most outstanding heir of the Kuchiki family. Your talent is not much worse than that of Gin Ichimaru and Toushirou Hitsugaya, right?"

Aize gave a high evaluation to Byakuya Kuchiki.

Unfortunately, Byakuya Kuchiki didn't like Aize's comments about him.

"How much have you improved since last time?" Kuchiki Byakuya said coldly, "If you continue to do meaningless things, I don't mind coming to verify it myself."

"I don't mind." Aize said with a half-smile, "I just don't know if you still have that kind of mood."

As he spoke, Aize glanced in the direction of the prison, which made Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes become even colder.

Others might not be able to see it, but Aize knew that Kuchiki Byakuya's mood was not very good at the moment.

The two of them were just like they had been in the past, one smiling calmly, the other with a cold look, and they were facing each other in the corridor.

Faced with this scene, Hinamori Momo didn't dare to even breathe, she just felt extremely uncomfortable and unbearable.

Fortunately, Byakuya Kuchiki seemed to have lost his patience and stopped pestering Aize.

"This is a warning." Kuchiki Byakuya said to Aize in an unquestionable tone: "If you say something you shouldn't, then this time, even if the captain is here, I will never stop."

After leaving these words, Kuchiki Byakuya turned and left.

The spiritual pressure in the air suddenly dissipated, allowing Hinamori Momo to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"So scary... Is this Captain Kuchiki of the Sixth Division?"

Hinamori Momo patted her chest, looking still frightened.

"Ignore him." Ai Ze, on the contrary to Hinamori Momo, acted nonchalant and said, "He is just trying to scare you young people. When real trouble comes to him, he will know that he is nothing."

By then, not only will he be unable to protect his sister, but he will also be surpassed and defeated by the humans he despises.

The shell of the "Kuchiki family" will only be opened at that time.

"young people……"

Hinamori Momo didn't know what Aize meant, she was just a little confused.

There is no one younger than you in the entire Gotei 13, right?
Aize, unaware that Momo Hinamori was complaining about him in her heart, continued walking forward and arrived at the prison of the Sixth Division.

It is not dark here, but rather bright. It is just that half of the room is separated by an iron fence and used as a prison. People do not feel imprisoned at all, nor do they feel like they have become prisoners.

When Aize arrived here, Kuchiki Rukia was in prison, sitting on a chair with her back to the door, looking out the window with a melancholy look on her face.

Outside the prison, there was a familiar figure accompanying Rukia Kuchiki.

"Abarai-kun."

Hinamori Momo called out the other person's name.

It was Abarai Renji.

"Hinamori? Ai?"

Abarai Renji was originally looking at Kuchiki Rukia's back. When he heard someone calling him, he immediately turned around and looked over with a surprised expression.

"Captain Ai..."

Rukia Kuchiki also reacted, turning her head to look at Aize, a hint of surprise appearing just right on her melancholy face.

Obviously, neither of them expected that Aize would appear here.

"Didn't expect that?" Aize smiled slightly and said, "Don't mind me, I just came to take a look, just think of me as being bored."

Upon hearing this, Abarai Renji and Kuchiki Rukia looked at each other, then both smiled bitterly.

"Are you here to visit me?"

Kuchiki Rukia spoke with a complicated expression.

"I guess so." Aize nodded and said, "By the way, I came to see if a certain straight guy has been hit and is unable to recover."

"Who are you calling a straight man?" This was not the first time that Abarai Renji heard Aize evaluate him like this. He knew what this meant, so he retorted, "You are the straight man, right?"

"Me?" Aize didn't expect Abarai Renci to refute him like this. He immediately pointed at his nose and said unhappily, "Please look carefully. How can I be a straight man?"

"How is it impossible?" Abarai Renji snorted coldly and said without hesitation: "If you are not a straight man, how can you not know Hinamori..."

“Waaaaaaah!” Hinamori Momo immediately screamed, interrupting Abarai Renji in a panic, and glared at him, “What nonsense are you talking about? Vice Captain Abarai!”

"Where did I say that?" Abarai Renji said unconvincedly: "You have always been... "

Before he could finish his sentence, a flash of sword slashed towards Abarai Renji.

"Ouch!" Abarai Renji quickly jumped back to avoid the sharp blade, and shouted in a cold sweat, "There's no need to draw your sword and chop people, right? What if I fail to avoid it?!"

"Humph." Hinamori Momo also snorted coldly, holding her Zanpakutō that had been unsheathed at some point, and said, "It doesn't matter if you didn't dodge. I deliberately avoided the vital parts anyway. If you are really hit, I will take responsibility and heal you."

This is not just a casual remark, Momo Hinamori does have the ability to heal Renji Abarai.

This girl often goes to the 4th Division to learn flower arrangement from Unohana Retsu, and therefore has a good relationship with Unohana Retsu and the 4th Division's vice-captain, Kotetsu Yuune. I don't know when she learned the art of Kaido and can help people heal their injuries.

Not only with the 4th Division, Hinamori Momo and the 8th Division's vice-captain Ise Nanao are also good book friends. They will introduce interesting books to each other or have heated discussions about the content of a certain book. The 8th Division's vice-captain Ise Nanao also often comes to the 3rd Division's barracks and has met Aize several times.

So, don't underestimate this girl because she manages her interpersonal relationships very well. She has good relationships with people in different teams. Even the vice-captain of the 11th team has a good relationship with her.

If Abarai Renji was injured by Hinamori Momo, there would be no need to go to the 4th Division and he could be treated directly on the spot.

"Should I say thank you to you?" Abarai Renji frowned.

"You're welcome, Abarai-kun." Hinamori Momo smiled very cutely and scary, and said, "As long as you stop talking too much, you can avoid getting hurt, right?"

How terrible...

The three people present had the same thought at the same time.

"Seeing you're so energetic, I feel relieved." Ai Ze said at the right time, teasing Abarai Renji: "I thought you were in a panic now."

"...That's not the case." Abarai Renji sighed, glanced at the silent Kuchiki Rukia in the cell, and said: "Don't look at this girl's appearance, she is a member of the Kuchiki family after all, and she is the sister of Captain Kuchiki."

"For ordinary death gods, granting spiritual power to humans is a serious crime, but for nobles, this is not something that cannot be compromised."

"Considering the Kuchiki family, the Central 46th Office shouldn't punish her too harshly for this incident, right?"

The Central Forty-Six is ​​the highest judicial body composed of forty sages and six judges. It is a collective council composed of the nobles and elders of Soul Society.

The Shinigami in Soul Society, whether in Soul Society or in the real world, once they have committed a crime, they must be judged by the Central Forty-six Chambers. Once the verdict is made, even the captain-in-chief of the Gotei 13 cannot raise any objection. It can be said to be a symbol of the authority of the Seireitei.

If the ruling they make requires the use of force, they will also use secret message channels and secret command symbols to issue orders to the Gotei 13 or other execution forces in Soul Society. The troops receiving the orders must execute them immediately and must not disobey.

In other words, this is the largest power institution in Soul Society, the institution that truly holds power in Soul Society. Except for the legendary royal family and royal spies, no one's power can override it, including the strongest god of death, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Therefore, for many people, the Central Forty-Sixth Room is a very terrifying existence.

But they are made up of nobles and elders in Soul Society, and the Kuchiki family is the largest noble family in Soul Society and the leader of the four great noble families. Taking this into consideration, the other party should show leniency.

After all, it was just a matter of making a human become a god of death, and it was not a major event that would endanger the Soul Society. Although it was called a serious crime, it was actually just a taboo, and it would not be to the extent that the offender would have to die.

That's what Abarai Renji thought, so he didn't lose his composure.

But others are not as optimistic as he is.

"Is it really okay?" Hinamori Momo couldn't help but say, "I heard that the Central 46th Chamber is very unkind. Can the Kuchiki family really have any influence on them?"

The Central Forty-Six is ​​an ancient organization that has existed since a long, long time ago. Its history is even longer than that of the Gotei 13.

Because it is an ancient organization, the approval process and trial methods of the Central 46th Chamber are extremely rigid, and the judges also give people a feeling of being self-willed and inhumane. Therefore, in Soul Society, the Central 46th Chamber is very unpopular.

Momo Hinamori had never seen anyone from Central Room 46, let alone been to Central Room 46, but she had heard many rumors about them.

She was worried that the Central Forty-Six might not take the Kuchiki family's opinion as seriously as Abarai Renji imagined. Even though the Kuchiki family was the head of the Four Great Nobles and the largest noble family in Soul Society, they might not make an exception.

"Don't worry." Abarai Renji didn't think so. He waved his hand and said, "Captain Kuchiki will find a way. If it's that person, he may be able to influence the Central 46th Room."

However, his words not only made Kuchiki Rukia lower her head and become even more silent, but also made Aize laugh.

"After all these years, you're still so naive, Abarai."

Aizawa's words made Abarai Renji frown.

"what do you mean?"

Abarai Renji began to question.

Aize didn't answer because Kuchiki Rukia spoke.

"My brother will not plead for me." Kuchiki Rukia whispered, "In that person's heart, the reputation of the Kuchiki family and the order of Soul Society are much more important than an adopted sister like me."

"How could that be?" Abarai Renji frowned even more tightly, feeling a little uneasy. He raised his voice a little and said with a forced smile, "Captain Kuchiki came to the Maou Spiritual Academy specifically to find you and take you in as his sister. How could he be so unkind?"

In Abarai Renji's opinion, since Byakuya Kuchiki was willing to make a special trip to the Shinō Spiritual Academy to find Rukia Kuchiki, he must have his sister in his heart, right?

His own sister had committed a crime, so how could he not intervene and try to get a lighter sentence for Rukia Kuchiki?
Anyway, Abarai Renji used this reason to convince himself, otherwise he would find it difficult to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

“You won’t understand what that person is thinking.”

Rukia Kuchiki looked at her childhood sweetheart who kept comforting her, and after saying this with a complicated and sad expression, she stopped talking.

"I……"

Abarai Renji wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

Ai Ze, on the other hand, looked deeply at Rukia Kuchiki and said, "Actually, you are the same. You don't understand what that person is thinking."

After hearing these words, Kuchiki Rukia couldn't help but be slightly startled.

But before she could ask anything, Aize suddenly appeared in the cell and in front of her.

"Captain?!"

"Ai!"

Hinamori Momo and Abarai Renji immediately showed surprised expressions.

"Ai..."

Rukia Kuchiki was also startled and subconsciously wanted to stand up.

But before she could stand up, Aize took the first step.

Suddenly, Aize stretched out his hand and pressed it directly on Kuchiki Rukia's chest.

There was a slight sinking sensation in the palm of my hand, which was a bit... uncomfortable.

"Varied……?!"

At this moment, everyone present was stunned.

Kuchiki Rukia blushed... embarrassed.

Abarai Renji blushed... because he was angry.

Hinamori Momo...she's broken.

Aize ignored everyone, closed his eyes, and the gold-plated lines on his body began to flicker.

Then he felt it.

I sensed the presence of a strange crystal...
