I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

Upon seeing Erin, Byakuya Kuchiki seemed to have found a pillar of support.

"Byakuya, you've seen Hisana's condition too."

"Go and make the necessary preparations now. I'll stay here to maintain Hisa's condition and say a few words to her."

"This……"

Byakuya Kuchiki glanced at Hishin, who was suspended in mid-air surrounded by white bandages.

"Go, Byakuya-sama."

"With Uncle Erin here, I'm fine for now."

"Yes, Hisana, you must wait for me."

After nodding to Hisana Kuchiki, Byakuya Kuchiki turned to begin preparing for Hisana's funeral.

"Uncle."

After Kuchiki Byakuya left, Kuchiki Hisana nodded to Erin, "Please forgive me, Uncle-Master, for my current condition prevents me from paying my respects to you."

"Forget it."

Erin waved his hand: "I've been in the Kuchiki family for so many years, when have you ever seen me value these boring formalities?"

"Haha, after all, I am Byakuya-sama's wife, and every move I make represents Byakuya-sama's face."

"My uncle may not care, but I cannot be impolite and bring shame upon Lord Byakuya."

Erin nodded slightly; what Kuchiki Hisa said was not wrong.

Byakuya Kuchiki is the head of the Kuchiki family and the benchmark for all nobles in Seireitei; he himself represents the rules of the nobility.

If Kuchiki Hiromi really did something rude, it would indeed damage Kuchiki Byakuya's reputation.

"Hima, I must say, Byakuya is very lucky to have married you."

"And you have indeed fulfilled the responsibilities of the matriarch of the Kuchiki family."

Upon hearing Erin's words, Hisana Kuchiki smiled.

In fact, over the years, Hisako Kuchiki has also noticed that her uncle, Erin, doesn't seem to like her very much.

However, being able to gain the approval of Erin's uncle before his death allowed Kuchiki Hisa to resolve a knot in her heart.

"Oh, right, Hisana."

"This year, a new student was admitted to the Shinigami Academy, named Rukia."

Seeing Kuchiki Hisa's current state, Erin sighed and finally told Kuchiki Hisa the news.

"What? Rukia?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this name, Hisako Kuchiki's expression changed drastically.

"Uncle, this Rukia..."

"Yes, he looks very similar to you."

"I'm planning to go to the Shinigami Academy tomorrow to take this child named Rukia as my disciple and have her live with the Kuchiki family. What do you think?"

Chapter 188 The White Dew Party, let's get started!

"Really? Uncle."

Hisa Kuchiki covered her eyes, but upon hearing Erin's words, she was overjoyed.

Just now, Hisako Kuchiki, who learned about her sister's whereabouts, even planned to ask Byakuya-sama to take care of her sister after her death.

However, this made Kuchiki Hisama feel like she was pressuring Byakuya-sama.

Although her life was nearing its end, Hisa felt that pressuring Byakuya for her sister's sake was a way of atoning for her sins of abandoning her sister more than ten years ago.

However, if possible, she still hopes that in Byakuya-sama's heart, she will always remain that flawless white moonlight.

Now, with Erin's uncle's words, she was completely relieved.

Even without him holding the umbrella for his sister, as Uncle Erin's disciple, his sister's future was definitely much brighter than his own.

"Thank you, thank you, Uncle..."

"Don't be in such a hurry to thank me."

Erin shook his head: "After all, I had some selfish motives in taking Lucia as my disciple."

"You must know how Byakuya feels about you."

Kuchiki Hisa lowered her head in the light of the Void Bandage, a happy smile on her lips: "It is Hisa's honor to receive Byakuya-sama's love."

"Your time is short, but Byakuya's journey is still long."

"Moreover, Byakuya is not only himself, but also the twenty-eighth head of the Kuchiki family. He bears the responsibility of carrying on the Kuchiki family's legacy."

Upon hearing Erin's last words, Hisako Kuchiki's smile twitched slightly.

Yes, Byakuya-sama is the head of the Kuchiki family, and in the twelve years that I have been the head of the Kuchiki family, I have not borne any children for Byakuya-sama.

Therefore, for the sake of the Kuchiki family's future, whether Byakuya-sama likes it or not, he will, and must, remarry and take concubines at some point in the future to continue the Kuchiki family's bloodline.

"Although Rukia is nominally my disciple, I have many things to do and don't have much time to teach Rukia."

"Therefore, I will have Byakuya teach Rukia for a while."

"As for whether Rukia will be given the name 'Kichiki' in the future, I cannot guarantee that..."

A smile returned to Kuchiki Hisa's face.

Although Erin's words were somewhat tactful, she still understood the underlying meaning.

In particular, the last line, "Can Rukia obtain the name 'Kuchiki'?", is undoubtedly Erin's way of confronting Kuchiki Hisa.

Under what circumstances would an outsider be labeled as "rotten wood"?

First, he was adopted by the Kuchiki family and became a member of the Kuchiki clan.

The second option is to marry into the Kuchiki family, like Hisa Kuchiki, and become the wife of the Kuchiki family.

"Ah, if it could be Rukia, that would be wonderful."

In this world, there are only two people that Kuchiki Hisa can't let go of.

One is Byakuya-sama, whom she deeply loves and who also deeply loves her.

The other is her younger sister Rukia, whom she brought from her home more than ten years ago, but was forced to abandon due to the need to make a living.

According to her uncle's arrangement, if the two people she cares about most can find happiness in this way, then her life will be without regrets.

"Well, so don't tell Byakuya about Rukia yet. I'll tell Byakuya everything when Byakuya and Rukia are truly together."

"If you tell Byakuya about Rukia now, then no matter whether Byakuya has feelings for Rukia or not, in Byakuya's eyes, Rukia will only ever be his 'little sister'."

“I know, Uncle.”

"I'll leave Byakuya and Rukia in your care, Uncle."

At this moment, Byakuya Kuchiki rushed over, disregarding even his noble demeanor.

“Hijin…”

When he saw Hishin in the green light, Byakuya Kuchiki breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, Hisana is still alive.

"Byakuya-sama..."

Upon seeing Byakuya Kuchiki return, Erin waved his hand, and instantly, the Void Bandage transformed into spiritual particles and dissipated, having already been retrieved into Erin's Reality Barrier.

Byakuya Kuchiki stepped forward and embraced Hisa Kuchiki, who had floated down from the sky due to the disappearance of the Void Bandage.

"Alright Byakuya, Hisana might not make it through the night, so I won't bother you any longer."

"Ah."

"Thank you, Uncle."

With his back to Byakuya Kuchiki, Erin waved and left the Kuchiki residence.

"Ugh……"

Walking down the street, Erin sighed.

Although in Ailin's heart, Bailu's love is the best.

However, he also had to admit that apart from feeling somewhat guilty about abandoning Rukia, Hisa Kuchiki had not neglected her duties as the matriarch of the Kuchiki family for the past twelve years.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that because Kuchiki Hii really exists, Kuchiki Byakuya's reputation among the nobles has improved significantly.

After all, in the past, when Kuchiki Byakuya faced those nobles, he only used "rules" to forcefully restrict their behavior.

After Kuchiki Hisa became the matriarch of the Kuchiki family, she got along well with the wives of the nobles. Many behaviors that required Kuchiki Byakuya to stop were easily understood by her through communication with the wives of the nobles.

In this way, although Kuchiki Byakuya did not appear in person, the nobles of Seireitei felt that he was more respected by them than if he had personally intervened to resolve some situations.

Now, Hisako Kuchiki's life has come to an end, and Byakuya will probably end up with that poker face.

Perhaps he used up all the expressions he had in his entire life in front of Hisana Kuchiki in that one year.

"Yo, Captain Erin."

Before she knew it, Erin had arrived at the izakaya she frequented.

As soon as I entered, I heard a familiar voice.

"He's the band leader of the Peking Opera."

Seeing familiar faces, Erin didn't bother looking for another table and went straight to Kyoraku Shunsui's table.

When Erin approached the table and saw the people around it, he couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Hey? Captain Jing, you held a banquet and didn't even invite me? That's really disheartening!"

It turned out that there were three other people sitting at the table opposite and inside Kyoraku Shunsui's table.

When Erin entered the izakaya, he only saw Kyoraku Shunsui from the front, and he thought that Kyoraku Shunsui was the only one there.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a small cocktail party.

"Captain Erin."
