Shirou's clones number 30 million

Thanks to Esdeath's activity over the past week, her level has increased from the initial level 2 to level 27, and her combat experience has also increased significantly.

However, compared to the others in the team, he is still the weakest.

Therefore, three days ago, Inoue Orihime learned healing magic from the priest of the Church of Light branch and began to take charge of healing her teammates and providing shields.

Speaking of her teammates, Orihime Inoue couldn't help but steal a glance at the team's two main combatants, Esdeath and Flame Walker.

The former is the captain of a four-person team, skilled in ice magic, and once performed the amazing feat of freezing a large lake in an instant.

As for the latter, he is skilled in fire magic, and any monster in front of him can be turned into roast meat with just a light punch.

Magic is completely incompatible, but the only thing they have in common is that both of them are very cold and aloof, dislike talking, and can sit in silence for ages.

Of course, the specifics are somewhat different. Captain Esdeath seems to be simply too arrogant, refusing to associate with those she looks down upon. At the same time, she also seems to be angry with her husband.

The Flame Walker, who refused to reveal his surname, seemed aloof, but the complex look in his eyes as he frequently stole glances at Esdeath revealed that he was very familiar with her.

Combining this with the information that Karin Kurosaki obtained from Esdeath, Orihime Inoue has an absurd guess.

Perhaps this Flame Walker, who wishes to remain anonymous, is actually Captain Esdeath's husband in disguise.

Lost in thought, she suddenly noticed another carriage speeding past from the side.

At the same time, faint noises could be heard.

Looking at the style of the carriage, Inoue Orihime unconsciously thought of the people she had met in the previous town.

It's also a four-person team, with one man and three women.

But unlike their own side, their team was full of weirdos.

A blonde woman who constantly complains about being captured by monsters and hopes to be abandoned by her teammates.

A female mage who only knows how to use explosion magic and has no other magic at all.

There was also a strange man who never took action, only gave verbal instructions.

As for the remaining blonde girl, she should be a normal person, right? Probably.

It is said that they have already defeated a demon king in another world, and the wishes they made at that time were related to their respective families.

"Captain Esdeath! Shall we speed up and catch up? Otherwise, Megumin and the others will take the Demon King away."

Karin Kurosaki's slightly anxious voice suddenly came, which made Orihime Inoue also come back to her senses and subconsciously look at Esdeath.

Esdeath opened the window, glanced out, and without turning her head, gave the order:

"Flame Walker, drive the chariot! We must reach the Demon King's Castle before they do."

“The next stop isn’t the Demon King’s Castle,” Flame Walker said as he rose and walked toward the front of the carriage.

The carriage seemed to be enchanted with automatic navigation, moving slowly without human intervention.

However, magic is ultimately not intelligent enough; to accelerate the process, it must be controlled manually.

"We still need to get ahead of them."

"understand!"

Chapter 529 Of course, it's when you're slacking off and skipping work.

Chapter 529, Section 530: Of course, it's when you're slacking off and skipping work.

"Has it finally arrived?"

Not long after winter break began, Ichigo Kurosaki, who was bored out of his mind, suddenly heard from Vice-Captain Rukia that the Fifth Division had taken on a new investigation mission.

The content is an investigation into another world.

Ichigo Kurosaki was extremely excited about this.

During the previous gathering, I heard many stories about other worlds from the other Shinigami, such as the Star Festival and King Arthur... Just hearing about them sounded incredible and very interesting.

Now, I can go myself.

"This mission is an infiltration investigation, which requires us to find out the general situation of that other world without revealing our identity as visitors from another world."

Rukia, equally excited, said as she thought:

"Therefore, we can't bring too many people."

“I understand!” Kurosaki Ichigo nodded slightly. “After all, it’s another world. To avoid revealing our identities, let’s just go together.”

"By the way, if the two worlds can travel back and forth, won't that lead to a war between the two worlds?"

"I don't know, but I was just about to investigate this." Rukia picked up her pen and wrote 'the possibility of war' in her notebook.

"So, what exactly is the purpose of this investigation?"

"You don't even know what the investigation is about, so why were you so excited just now?"

"That's another world! Opportunities to go to another world are rare, and many people may never have even heard of it."

Rukia smiled helplessly, then emphasized with a rather troubled expression:

“This is a work trip, not a vacation. You should prepare your research direction tonight so you don’t end up standing on the street feeling lost and confused when you get there tomorrow.”

"In addition, the investigation will take a long time, at least a week. Besides changing clothes, we should also prepare some daily necessities."

"Also, you need to tell your family in advance..."

"I know." Kurosaki Ichigo waved his hand impatiently. "Are you my mother? You're not a child, you don't need to emphasize it so many times."

"Since you say that, don't come to me for help if there are any problems tomorrow."

"How could there be a problem? It's just a small investigation task."

……

Within the Imperial Capital of the Crimson Blade World.

In Aizen's family garden, Kurosaki and Ichigo passed through the Anywhere Door and successfully arrived on the streets of the Imperial Capital.

Looking back, the Anywhere Door had vanished, as if it had never existed.

"It really is another world!"

The architecture of the buildings and the clothing of the people on the street clearly show the style of another world.

"Rukia, let's go."

"where to?"

"Of course it's the tavern. In this other world that's similar to the setting of a fantasy novel, you definitely have to go to the tavern to get information."

"Really? I think we should go to a clothing store to buy clothes first. Both of our clothes are modern style, and we're too conspicuous walking down the street."

"What's wrong with having a slightly unconventional style of clothing? Ordinary passersby would never guess that we come from another world."

"Have you forgotten our mission? To find out what's going on here without causing any disturbance."

Seeing that Ichigo Kurosaki remained unmoved, Rukia shook her head slightly:

"In that case, let's split up. This kind of investigation mission isn't really suited for teamwork. If you get caught, I can go back and report it."

"Why is it based on the premise that I get arrested? There's no way I could get arrested. In that case, let's split up."

With that, Kurosaki Ichigo turned and left without looking back, saying as he walked away:

"I went to the tavern to get information. We'll meet here when the sun goes down."

"okay."

Rukia sighed silently, turned and walked a short distance away, then suddenly thought:

It seems that the activity funds Captain Aizen gave me are all with me. Without the currency of this world, how can he enter the tavern?

Forget it, so be it.

That idiot Ichigo has become more and more arrogant since becoming a captain. It's good to teach him a lesson once in a while.

Rukia bought an otherworldly outfit from a roadside clothing store, changed into it, and immediately began working.

Currency, city names, rumors—all the useful information was jotted down in a notebook for later organization.

On the other side, Ichigo Kurosaki walked along the street, enduring the curious gazes of passersby, until he arrived at a tavern.

Seeing someone pay the bill gave me a sudden jolt.

'Oh no! All the money Aizen gave me is with Rukia. I can't drink without money.'

Realizing this, Ichigo Kurosaki instinctively wanted to go back to Rukia.

However, after searching around, they still couldn't find any trace of Rukia.

"Sigh... I was careless. I should have gone with her."

Just then, the sounds of fighting suddenly came from a distant alley.

Kurosaki Ichigo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ran over.

Inside the alley, a blonde girl with a great figure and animal ears is fighting against a girl with short black hair.

Both of them are quite strong, and if I don't use my Bankai, I might not be able to beat them.

Whom should I help? I mustn't help the wrong person.

Ichigo Kurosaki took out his gloves and put them on, ready to leave his body at any time and use the power of a Shinigami to save people.

"Leone, stop! You are no match for me."

"If I were fighting with the intention of killing you, I would naturally be no match for you, but you would never kill me. Therefore, I am certain to win this duel!"

"If this had happened a week ago, that might have been true, but things are different now."

As he spoke, Hei Tong pulled a handful of seeds from his pocket and scattered them casually.

In the next instant, the seed took root and sprouted at an extremely fast speed, binding Leone into a giant rice dumpling.

“Leone, your type of person who is all brawn and no brains is perfectly countered by my newly acquired ability.”

"What the hell is this thing! When did you acquire this ability?"

"Of course, it's when you're slacking off, skipping work, and slacking off all day." Kuroko had a faint smile on her face. "I've been working hard all along, and finally last week I accumulated enough merit points to exchange for an ability fruit."

"Damn it! No wonder he came to grab me for no reason, he came here just to show off to me?"
