I'm really not the number one slacker in Soul Society.

Where is Kyoraku Shunsui?

Could it be that--

Outside the guard cell, Mima, carrying Lisa on her back, sighed and looked at the flamboyant old man standing in front of her with a headache.

"team leader……"

Chunshui was standing on the only way to escape.

The silence in the air lasted for more than ten seconds.

"...It wasn't for nothing that I asked the old man from the Kuchiki family for help." Shunsui's tone was somewhat helpless. "I witnessed a rather unusual scene."

"Captain of the Kyoraku Band," Tessai Wakashi's expression darkened, "Are you here to stop us?"

He freed one hand, seemingly intending to unleash some dangerous demonic power, but Mima stopped him.

“Great Ghost Master Woling, please continue to uphold the Ghost Path. I’ve come to speak with the captain.”

Then, Mi Zhen took two steps forward and walked up to Chun Shui: "Captain, at times like this, we should pretend we didn't see anything and let us sneak away—an old geezer who tries to stop his junior from running wild on the road of life will be despised."

"That's just how the job is, and this old man doesn't want to do it either."

Chunshui chuckled twice, and Mizhen laughed along with him.

After a brief period of harmony, the Eighth Division Captain's expression gradually hardened, and he asked meaningfully, "Yama, are you sure you want to do this?"

“As you can see.” Mima nodded without hesitation, then asked in return, “Captain, don’t tell me… you don’t think there’s something wrong with this.”

"That's one thing, breaking the rules is another."

Chunshui scratched his face: "You guys ran away so carelessly, it's really putting me in a difficult position."

"So, in situations like this, we should just pretend we didn't see it," Mima said with her smile unchanged. "It's better for everyone, Captain, don't you think?"

"Ugh……"

Chunshui remained silent for a while, then let out a long sigh.

"How did I end up with someone as troublesome as you..."

“Birds of a feather flock together, Captain, don’t you need to reflect on yourself?” Mi Zhen rolled her eyes and said, “You’ve seen the situation. Anyway, I’m standing right here. Today, you have to let this pass go whether you want to or not.”

"How dare you, a mere fifth seat holder, be so disrespectful to the captain?" Chunshui clicked her tongue. "Do you believe I'll dock your pay?"

"That was truly terrifying. Please forgive me, Captain."

Mima chuckled, then turned around, intending to carry the others on her back as well.

He noticed Chunshui approaching from a great distance, which is why he dared to stay in the same spot so openly.

...However, upon closer reflection, it doesn't really matter who comes. Captains who are familiar with the matter can generally sense that the problem is not simple. As long as they use persuasive arguments and appeals to the emotions of the people, it won't be difficult to convince them.

Aside from Yamamoto and Kenpachi... those two are hard to understand, one is too stubborn and the other's hands are faster than his brain.

"Sigh... My glorious captaincy of hundreds of years has been ruined like this."

Chunshui sighed dramatically, then stepped forward and patted Mizhen on the shoulder.

"Remember to take good care of Lisa..."

He paused, then said, "If you're going to leave, you have to be quick, and you absolutely can't be discovered by anyone else."

"and many more."

At this touching moment, the mood-destroyer Watanabe Yama raised his head, scratched his head in confusion, and asked, "Captain, what are you talking about?"

Spring Water slowly typed out a question mark: "Farewell...?"

But Mima seemed even more confused than him: "...Who said I was leaving too?"

Spring Water: "?"

................................................

A few minutes later, Mima carried eight people on his back like a human pyramid to the secret room under the Double Kill Hill.

After thoughtfully arranging them into a row of seats, Mi Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Leading eight people and constantly using Instant Step is indeed a bit tiring. Looks like I'll have to work on getting more Stamina +1 when doing missions in the future.

He didn't have to wait long...

Soon, Urahara and Yoruichi also arrived.

But their condition was unexpected.

Urahara's coat had several tears, and Yoruichi had several long wounds on her body, so much so that she needed Urahara's help to get over.

...It felt like I'd been brutally beaten up.

Mi Zhen hesitated before stepping forward and asking, "What's going on with you two...?"

"I got slashed a few times by that old man Kuchiki..." Yoruichi pulled off the white cloth wrapped around her head and said while crying out in pain, "Kisuke and I can't use moves that are too powerful... After all, we're on the run. But that old man Kuchiki is indeed a veteran of hundreds of years, he's ridiculously strong."

"……I see."

A blind spot in his knowledge emerged: Kuchiki Ginrei hadn't made a move in over a hundred years. Because he only appeared in a few panels in the manga and none of the books available in Soul Society recorded his abilities, Mima's knowledge of this veteran captain was extremely limited; he didn't even know the name of his Zanpakuto.

But seeing Yoruichi beaten up like this... it seems that the old man is not only powerful, but also incredibly fast, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to catch up with the head of the Shihouin family, who is known as the "Instant God".

With time pressing and no time for pleasantries, Urahara immediately began rummaging through the secret base, gathering a large number of parts, assembling them, and placing them on the ground.

With a strange noise like a Transformer transforming, a machining tool the size of a lathe appeared before us.

Mima: "?"

Aren't the scientists in Soul Society a bit too outrageous?

"Watanabe, thank you for your help."

Urahara, carrying a huge cloth bag, stepped forward and shook hands with Mima: "Thanks to you, Hirako and the others were able to be brought here safely."

"It's nothing," Mi Zhen waved his hand and said, "There's not much I can do, so I'll leave the rest to you."

Kisuke Urahara nodded and said to Tessai Hishikari:

"Mr. Tessai, please continue to release the time stop for Mr. Hirako and the others."

Then, Urahara turned around and began operating the strange machine, talking incessantly: "I'll need you to set up several layers of barriers here later."

"no problem."

Tessai nodded, then used one hand to maintain the release of Kido: Time Stop, while raising his free hand upwards and then pressing it down sharply. Without any chanting, three semi-transparent, membrane-like barriers were established.

Chapter 66: Lisa: You should have taken the initiative in this kind of thing [First Update]

If I'm not mistaken, the effects of these three barriers should be to block aura, collect free spiritual particles, and provide composite defense. Simply put, if you stand within the barrier's range, you don't have to worry about anyone coming after you by sensing spiritual pressure. The consumption of spiritual pressure will be slower. Even a captain-level being would have to spend a lot of effort to break through the defense and infiltrate. It truly demonstrates the profound skill of the Great Demon Master.

To be honest, if I hadn't heard that the Kidoshu were busy with other matters, I definitely would have chosen it when I was choosing a place to work after graduation.

The secret techniques passed down through generations of the Kido sects are a perfect blend of functionality and coolness, and they are extremely flexible in use, making them much easier to use than the 198 common Kido techniques (except for those above number 95), which is truly enviable.

...However, the Eighth Division is a great place to slack off. Compared to the tiring task of learning Kido, slacking off is definitely more enjoyable.

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Mima stepped forward and asked, "Captain Urahara, what's going on here...?"

“To create artificial bodies,” Urahara replied. “In the next twenty hours, I will create ten spiritual pressure blocking artificial bodies… Simply put, they are temporary tools that can alleviate the symptoms of Mr. Hirako and the others.”

“…Is it incurable?” Mima sighed as he looked at the eight people lying on the ground. “This so-called… uh, ‘hollowfication’.”

"Unfortunately, I can only temporarily suppress the blurring phenomenon."

Urahara shook his head, remained silent for a few seconds, and then comforted him, "But please rest assured, Fifth Seat Watanabe, I will go to the human world with Mr. Hirako and the others, and lie low there... No matter how long it takes, I will find a way to remove the 'Hollowfication'."

“I’ve heard Captain Shihouin mention the plan to go to the mortal world,” Mima said. “I’m sorry, this is all I can do to help you.”

Urahara chuckled: "No... your help has been more than enough, Fifth Seat Watanabe. I cannot ask you to give up your life in Soul Society and come with us to the Human World."

"That's not the reason." Mima scratched his head. "Captain Urahara, you saw the woman who attacked us last night, didn't you?"

Urahara's eyes darkened, and he nodded, saying, "That's a big problem... Who exactly is she? What faction does she belong to? Why does she possess the 'hollowfication' technology? And why did she attack you..."

"Not only that, that woman also seemed quite interested in me."

Mima recounted the fabricated story from the previous night to Urahara, then frowned and said, "With my strength, I can't handle that woman's attack... so I can't stay with you guys in that kind of danger."

“I see…” Urahara comforted him, “Watanabe, you should focus on your training in Seireitei and strive to become strong enough to defeat that mysterious person. I will also try to find out about her situation for you.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble Captain Urahara.” Mima nodded.

"There's no need to call me that anymore, anyway, I'll soon... no, I'll have already lost my professional title."

................................................

Early the next morning.

Kisuke Urahara's efficiency in creating new things is truly astonishing.

Amid the roar of the machines, ten brand-new prosthetic bodies were created in just sixteen hours.

—It even comes with clothes and accessories.

After helping Urahara and Yoruichi stuff the Visoreds into Gikai one by one, Tessai Gahishi, whose face had turned from black to white due to excessive release of Kido, finally released the Time Stop Technique and the Triple Barrier, and sat down to the side, panting heavily.
