"Please wait a moment, guest..."
Kisuke Urahara paused for a moment, then went to retrieve his identity information and artificial body himself.
Although he didn't actually need to retrieve it himself, the person at the door was making him conflicted. At this moment, he just wanted to temporarily avoid the situation and think about how to proceed with the necessary task communication.
Even after Aizen left, he could still publicly address him as captain without being questioned by the Seireitei management...
Most importantly, this kid's cat is very strong, strong enough that Yoruichi and Yuushirou chose to disband their families just to avoid becoming his enemies.
The Shihōin siblings are currently living with him. Would it be inappropriate for them to run into each other outside...?
"Uchiha Sasuke? You've come to the human world on a mission?"
Just as Urahara Kisuke went to the warehouse, the two black cats that had gone out for a walk returned and happened to see Sasuke leaning against the door waiting.
Yoruichi Shihouin raised her paw and pinned down another small black cat that was trying to run away. She looked up at Sasuke and greeted him normally.
"We're temporarily stationed in Karakura Town, so we came to buy some necessities from Manager Urahara. You two seem to be in good spirits. Oh, by the way, Captain Soi Fon asked me to bring these over."
Sasuke took out a sealed box, and inside were several large boxes filled with various kinds of dried fish and other cat treats.
Although the Shihouin family is gone, Soi Fon's feelings for Yoruichi Shihouin have nothing to do with her family.
"That idiot..."
Yoruichi was delighted by the silly gift. Without hesitation, she transformed into human form, put on a long coat, and walked into the store carrying the snacks.
The speed at which it transformed back into human form was so fast that even when Sasuke turned his head to look to the side speechlessly, the other black cat on the ground still bristled instantly.
"Sis, can you please be more careful? There's a living, breathing person here!"
Shihouin Yushiro was so angry that his fur stood on end. He scratched several marks on the floor by the door and stared at Shihouin Yoruichi, who was happily eating dried fish inside, reminding her to be a little more careful.
"Yushiro, try this, it tastes really good!"
Yoruichi Shihouin held a piece of dried fish and waved it at Yushiro.
"I'm definitely not going to be fooled by a little bit of dried fish... Hmm, the taste is alright..."
As soon as Xi Shilang finished speaking, his sister grabbed him by the back of the neck, pulled him over, and fed him a piece of dried fish.
As the flavor he liked entered his mouth, Yushiro's cat-like eyes narrowed, and any concerns about his image were temporarily ignored.
Isn't my little brother exceptionally well-behaved?
Yoruichi Shihōin ate dried fish while feeding her brother, and didn't forget to show off to Sasuke who was standing at the door.
"Not bad. Your younger brother has good talent. If you take care of him for a few years, he should become a good person."
Sasuke watched the siblings playing and realized what Yoruichi Shihouin meant.
He was going to leave in two years, so he wouldn't care how the Soul Society developed after that.
"It's not bad now, it's more free than in Soul Society..."
Yoruichi Shihouin stroked her younger brother's hair and shook her head to indicate that they had no plans to return to Soul Society.
"No matter where you are, strength is always indispensable..."
Sasuke didn't bother to investigate whether they were telling the truth. As a bad guy who had threatened others, any kind words he uttered would be hypocritical.
After Kisuke Urahara quickly located the artificial body, arranged its identity, and brought it a spare battery for a human communicator, Sasuke paid the money and turned to leave.
Holding the address in his hand, Sasuke didn't rush to put on his artificial body, but instead went to find the location of Ichigo Kurosaki's house.
"My brother isn't back yet. What would you like to drink?"
When Karin Kurosaki came home from school, she saw Sasuke standing at their door. She stared at the black cat that Sasuke was holding for a few more seconds before inviting him inside.
She didn't want to admit that there were any substances in the world outside of science, but she had heard her older brother talk about this person, so she decided to entertain him.
"Plain water is fine, thank you."
Sasuke glanced at the layout of the Kurosaki family's living room, and while Kurosaki Karin went to pour water, he switched back to human form.
Ichigo Kurosaki has two younger sisters. He's not afraid of this one now, but that doesn't mean the other one will be.
If you frighten a child when visiting someone's home, that would be really inappropriate.
"Huh? You can turn into a human?"
Karin Kurosaki returned with the water, staring at Sasuke intently to confirm that he had truly become human.
"This is a prosthetic body, just like a living person's body, so it won't look too strange."
Sasuke explained the concept of artificial remains.
"So that's how it works. If you want to live like other people, wouldn't that be easy too?"
Karin Kurosaki thought, since she could be indistinguishable from a human, if a Shinigami blended into a crowd, she wouldn't be noticed. In that case...
If Death were to actually do that, wouldn't it cause chaos?
"Indeed, some Grim Reapers live like humans, even getting married and having children after donning cybernetic bodies. However, there are still some administrators around, so very few can successfully hide in the human world..."
Sasuke sensed the faint spiritual pressure suddenly coming from upstairs. Kurosaki Isshin had actually caused his spiritual pressure to leak out because he was worried.
However, he had no interest in exposing it.
I'm just here to say hello to Ichigo Kurosaki and get to know the Kurosaki family.
After waiting for more than ten minutes at the Kurosaki residence, Ichigo Kurosaki's footsteps could be heard at the door.
"Uchiha Sasuke?"
Kurosaki Ichigo opened the door and looked at Sasuke in the living room, and Karin sitting opposite Sasuke chatting. He was suddenly a little confused.
His sister, who always insisted on treating non-human species as non-existent, was actually chatting with Sasuke?
Moreover, judging from their appearance, they seem to get along quite well?
"We meet again. I am now the resident Shinigami of Karakura Town, temporarily taking over Rukia Kuchiki's position. I may have to bother you more often in the future."
Sasuke introduced himself regarding his current position.
"You haven't run into any trouble, have you?"
Kurosaki Ichigo tossed his backpack onto the sofa, sat down next to Karin, and stared at Sasuke for a long time.
He also heard some information when he was a guest in Seireitei: the task of stationing in the human world is usually given to lower-ranking Shinigami, and it is almost impossible for a high-ranking Shinigami to be assigned to it.
After all, the distribution of spiritual particles in the present world is different from that in Seireitei. In areas where spiritual particles are insufficient, it becomes extremely difficult for Shinigami to train.
"Nothing serious. Things are a bit turbulent right now, so I applied for a temporary mission in the real world to come here and have some peace and quiet for a while."
Shaking his head, Sasuke didn't say much about the changes in Seireitei for the time being.
"Looks like this is a bit of a problem. Do you have a place to stay? Rukia used to stay in the closet in my room, but there's no room for someone your size..."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Kurosaki Ichigo didn't ask any more questions.
But his house doesn't have any spare rooms, and his wardrobe can't fit a guy that big, unless he's willing to sleep on the floor...
"I'm staying at a hotel, over there, on the top floor of that building."
Sasuke pointed in the direction; the location of that building could also be seen from here.
"That building... must be very expensive to stay in one night, right?"
Ichigo Kurosaki naturally knew which building it was.
But so far he has only heard classmates mention it a few times, and has not heard of anyone actually living there.
"It's not too expensive. I have some savings, so living there for a few years shouldn't be a problem."
Sasuke looked at the stunned Ichigo Kurosaki without revealing the source of his money.
His identity in this world is fake, so naturally he couldn't have money. But Aizen prepared a lot of things for him to make the truth exist.
While it's unlikely that Aizen himself did everything, this big boss always took his responsibilities very seriously when making arrangements.
Chapter 211 Kurosaki Ichigo: Could I possibly be the Soul King?
"You must be really rich..."
That night, while resting, Ichigo Kurosaki swallowed the Soul-Slaying Pill and appeared in Sasuke's hotel room in his Shinigami form.
Looking at the luxurious furnishings in the room, Ichigo Kurosaki felt that he could redefine what it means to be rich.
"So-so. Sit down and rest for a bit. Tell me, what are you doing out here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Sasuke lay on the comfortable bed, with a little black cat snoring beside him.
Sasuke was a little curious as he watched Kurosaki Ichigo come in through the window. Did this guy come out for a stroll every night?
Or should it be called patrol?
"I've run into some trouble lately, so I'm asking you for advice. Do you know anything about the Masked Legion?"
Ichigo Kurosaki did indeed have something to discuss with Sasuke; the Visoreds had just visited him in the last couple of days, but he wasn't ready to join them yet.
Although he didn't know Sasuke very well, he believed what Rukia said—that Sasuke was a very good person.
"The Visored Legion? Never heard of them. Are they related to Soul Society?"
Sasuke shook his head; indeed, no one had mentioned the Visoreds to him.
It seems his arrival in the human world was perfectly timed; the Visoreds had already begun to dismantle Ichigo Kurosaki.
"They were once captains and vice-captains of the Seireitei. It's said that a hundred years ago, due to Aizen's experiments, they were transformed into beings capable of Hollowfication masks. When they were convicted, they fled to the human world..."
Ichigo Kurosaki's knowledge was limited; before he became friends with those people, he had only heard some information from Shinji Hirako and Hiyori Sarugaki.
"It really was the captain who did that; back then, the captain was still the vice-captain..."
Sasuke recalled information from a hundred years ago, which was no secret in Seireitei.
When Aizen 'ascended to heaven', Yoruichi Shihouin had already recounted all the things Aizen had done.
"So I find it very strange that they, who have been hiding in the mortal world for over a hundred years, would suddenly come looking for me and invite me to join their Masked Legion, even though I haven't been experimented on..."
Ichigo Kurosaki had also heard this information.
The problem is, if he wasn't used as an experimental subject by Aizen, why were those guys treating him like one of their own?
And those recruitment-based models just don't seem like the work of good people.
