Shirou's clones number 30 million

Despite being filled with doubts, the visitor was different from the Yorozuya owner; he gave off a very unapproachable vibe, so the visitor could only remain silent.

After a long while, passing through a large gate and entering a street with an ancient feel, she finally couldn't help but ask:

"Um...excuse me, is this the underworld?"

"That's right, welcome to Soul Society."

Aizen smiled slightly and said casually:

"If you've read the manga 'Bleach,' you've probably heard of the term Soul Society. However, the manga hasn't reached the Seireitei arc yet."

Seeing the smile on Aizen's face, Orihime Inoue inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, unconsciously thinking to herself:

This person looks completely different when they smile compared to when they have no expression.

"The plot in the comics must be fictional, right?"

"No. The manga 'Bleach' was created by Kubo based on Ichigo Kurosaki. The content currently being serialized in the manga is all based on real events."

"Huh...? So, Ichigo-kun really is a Shinigami? And he's been maintaining order in the city all this time?"

"That was true before the comic was released. But after the comic was released, things became slightly different."

"why?"

"Because Ichigo is very angry. His experiences were drawn into a manga and published without his permission."

"Huh...huh!?"

Orihime Inoue looked surprised and asked instinctively:

"It should be illegal to do this without my permission, right?"

"That's true, but in this situation, he couldn't possibly call the police, could he? After all, the police can't possibly believe in a real Grim Reaper."

Aizen paused, then smiled and said:

"In the public eye, Ichigo is just someone who happens to share the same name as the protagonist in the manga."

Orihime Inoue opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

At that moment, she inexplicably thought of herself not long ago.

I seem to have always held the same thought, believing that it was just a coincidence.

After all, it's impossible for the Grim Reaper to appear in reality, right?

"Ichigo-kun, you must be very angry, right?"

"Indeed, he was initially very angry, and seemed ready to take me down with him. However, he eventually had no choice but to accept the situation."

"Huh...!? Who are you?"

"My name is Aizen, one of the original authors of the manga. To be precise, I am responsible for providing the story, and Kubo is responsible for the creation."

Inoue Orihime unconsciously moved a little further away from Aizen, and only after reaching a safe distance did she ask again:

Why would you do something so outrageous?

"It just happened to be that we met. If I had to pinpoint the reason, I guess it's fate."

Aizen smiled and pondered for a moment:

"It's like walking on a snow-covered land and finding someone who's only halfway through building a snowman and can't continue, so they just sit there and cry their eyes out."

"In a situation like this, you'd naturally want to help him, right?"

"As for the lack of snow on the side, we can only take it from someone else who is having a snowball fight, which is something we can't help but do."

"What kind of strange metaphor is this? I don't understand it at all!" Inoue Orihime looked completely bewildered.

The next moment, she suddenly realized.

"You mean, Ichigo is the one who had his snow stolen against his will?"

"Oh...? You can actually understand me, girl. You're even smarter than I expected." Aizen chuckled. "I like smart people. In that case, I can give you a little preferential treatment."

"What does it mean?"

“The Soul Society is not a place where the living can stay for long. From what I understand, your brother’s aptitude is too low and he failed to meet the admission standards of the Shinigami Academy. I originally intended to just take a look and leave, but since you are so smart, I can give you ten minutes to talk.”

"Thank you so much!"

Because she was unfamiliar with the rules of Soul Society, Orihime Inoue didn't know whether ten minutes was a long or short time.

However, she was already very satisfied to be able to see her brother once.

......

Inoue Hiroshi was involved in a traffic accident five years ago. Because he was worried about his younger sister, he originally planned to stay in the human world as a spirit.

However, because the members of the Fifth Division always went to the human world to buy alcohol, they were sent to Soul Society.

After that, he gradually became familiar with the daily life of Soul Society.

Even so, due to his low aptitude and slow hunger, he was not qualified to enter the Shinigami Academy and lived in Rukongai.

Why am I not hungry?

Inoue Hiroshi sat under a tree on the street corner, silently watching the passersby, and sighed again.

This is a world even crueler than reality. In reality, people from humble backgrounds have some chance to improve themselves through hard work.

Starting from scratch may be a myth, but it also represents the dream of countless ordinary people.

But here, qualifications are the most important thing.

If you don't get hungry and lack the necessary qualifications, then you'll never have the chance to become the Grim Reaper.

"I wish I could become the Grim Reaper."

It is said that becoming a Grim Reaper grants the possibility of traveling to the mortal world after accepting a specific mission.

The beings in Rukongai all say they've long forgotten their past lives, but that's just talk.

Those who have lived here for too long may have truly forgotten.

But Inoue Hiroshi has only been here for five years. Five years is really too short.

Life here is extremely monotonous, with no entertainment. When extremely bored, one can only reminisce about one's past life and find joy amidst the hardship.

It is precisely because I think of it from time to time that it becomes all the more unforgettable.

"It's been five years. Orihime is 17 years old now and should be in her second year of high school."

"I wonder how she's doing? I left in such a hurry, I didn't leave her any money..."

Thinking about it, I could only let out a long sigh.

People here often say, "Don't think about things from your previous life."

The Rukongai is so vast that it's almost impossible to encounter someone you knew in your previous life.

Even if you do encounter it, it's often not a good thing.

Lost in thought, he suddenly saw a figure that was both strange and familiar.

Although the girl had changed from five years ago, he could still recognize her at a glance as his younger sister, Inoue Orihime.

The next moment, his expression changed drastically, and he rushed over.

"Orihime! What brings you here too?"

"What are you dead for!"

She would have died before she was seventeen, and just thinking about her fate was enough to break Inoue Hiroshi's heart.

Chapter 513 You're Too Greedy

Chapter 513, Section 514: You're Too Greedy

"elder brother?"

He was dressed in an ancient-style outfit with many patches on his trousers, and his hair looked like it hadn't been washed for several days.

But his face hasn't changed at all compared to five years ago.

"It really is my brother!"

"Orihime, how exactly did you die?"

Inoue Hao gripped her arm tightly, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger, self-blame, and panic, as if afraid of hearing a bad answer.

"Brother, you're hurting me."

"sorry."

Inoue Hao quickly released her and asked again:

"You're so young, what happened?"

"Actually, I'm not dead yet."

Noticing his worried expression, Inoue Orihime quickly explained:

"Today, on my way home, I discovered that a new Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop) had opened on the street."

"The manager of Yorozuya said that since it was the first day of opening, he could help me solve a problem for free."

“After that, I was brought here by a grim reaper.”

It turned out to be the case.

Inoue Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension he had been holding in eased.

"Great! You're alive. How long can you stay here?"

"Ten minutes."

"Ten minutes? That's enough. Having lived in Rukongai for so long, this is the first time I've ever known that those Shinigami are still doing this kind of business."

As he spoke, his tone was full of envy for death.

In the past, although it was said that Death could go to the mortal world after accepting a specific mission, it was just hearsay.

Judging from the Grim Reaper encountered after becoming a spirit in life, even if the Grim Reaper goes to the mortal world, it is unlikely that it can interfere with the mortal world too much.
