"Are you kidding me? In my current state, revenge?"

“Okay, I was just joking.” Kisuke Urahara pulled down his hat brim and said, “But we can’t just sit here and let this go. Otherwise, those guys will probably escalate their behavior.”

"What should we do?" Kurosaki Isshin asked, his gaze fixed on him.

"I will completely hide what Aizen wants," Kisuke Urahara slowly stated his plan. "Specifically, I'll use that method..."

“If you try to scheme like this, the Soul Society’s goodwill towards you will probably decrease even more.” Kurosaki Isshin frowned and said, “Besides, isn’t this going too far?”

"Given the current situation, we can't afford to consider so many other things," Kisuke Urahara sighed. "Besides, this plan can't be implemented immediately. It will require a long period of preparation."

"You can handle it yourself." After a moment of silence, Kurosaki Isshin waved his hand. "By the way, you should know the guy who saved that mother and child, right? In any case, please convey my gratitude. Whatever you need to repay this life-saving debt, you can ask me for it."

“He won’t ask you to repay him.” Kisuke Urahara smiled and shook his head, saying in a voice only he could hear, “You’ve given him more than enough.” With that, he turned and left with a flourish.

Just as he stepped out of the gate of Kurosaki Hospital, a black cat nimbly jumped down from the building and landed steadily on his shoulder.

"Mr. Yoruichi, is your conversation over there finished?" Urahara asked with a smile.

"Hmph, that brat tricked me." Yoruichi licked her paws unhappily and said, "Damn it."

"You've lost again." Kisuke Urahara shook his head.

"Yeah, I even gave myself away. It's really annoying, even though I'm just a brat!" Yoruichi complained, shaking her head.

"Huh? Yoruichi-san, what did you say?" Urahara Kisuke froze on the spot. "You...exported yourself? Then what are you now??"

"Hmm, I'm already that brat's everything. But he can only control me for two years." The black cat raised its paw and said very seriously, "After two years, I will definitely win back!"

Two years is more than enough time to accomplish a lot!

Kisuke Urahara was inwardly furious, but dared not take it too seriously, and could only put on a wry smile.

Chapter 0512 Death!

Ten years later.

Karakura Town, Minami Ward.

Located on the right side of the street, a young girl wearing an apron brought out several plates of delicious dishes from the kitchen of the mansion.

The girl had long, bright orange hair, a pretty face, and a tall yet shapely figure. Dressed in casual clothes, she gave off a special feeling of a virtuous wife.

After preparing breakfast, the girl went straight to a portrait of a deceased person, bowed, and revealed a beautiful smile. Then she turned around and ran upstairs. "Muzuki-kun, Nel-nee, get up and eat!"

"Ah, I want to sleep for another five minutes." A lazy voice came from inside the room.

"Ugh, this won't do." The girl persisted, seemingly used to it. "If we don't get up soon, we'll be late."

Squeak.

Just then, the door opened. Nel, wearing a light pink nightgown, walked out of the room. She waved to the girl and said gently, "Good morning, Orihime."

That's right, this girl is none other than Orihime Inoue. One of the heroines in the original Bleach manga, and later, the wife of Mugetsu's older brother. However, Mugetsu has already beaten them to it.

Just like the plot in the original work, Orihime Inoue's brother died in a car accident three years ago. Originally, Mugetsu wanted to change this ending for her. But unfortunately, the causal chain had already been broken when Orihime's brother was sent to their Kurosaki Hospital.

Even Mugetsu was powerless to reverse the situation. Moreover, due to the different laws of this world, even Mugetsu, who possessed the resurrection technique "Reincarnation," could hardly turn the tide. He couldn't help but feel apologetic towards Orihime.

In comforting her, Wuyue also used his signature flirting skills, successfully winning her heart without realizing it. Or rather, even if he did know, he didn't have any particular feelings about it for the time being.

The two maintained this ambiguous relationship. Until a year ago, as Wuyue's two younger sisters grew up, the house began to feel a bit cramped, and Wuyue started thinking about moving out.

Later, Orihime, wanting to take their relationship a step further, accepted him as her lodger. However, to her surprise, Mugetsu offered a "buy one get one free" deal, bringing Nel along as well. This made Orihime a little jealous.

But being a very gentle, pure-hearted, and kind girl, Orihime didn't express her dissatisfaction. Furthermore, because Nel was also a gentle and innocent girl, the two girls developed feelings for each other during their time together. They gradually became like sisters. The entire family atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.

Shortly after Nel came out of her room, Muzuki, yawning and wearing loose pajamas, stepped out of her room. "Good morning, Orihime. What's for breakfast?"

"Hmm, I made yokan soup. And milk puffs and sugar-coated egg pancakes," Orihime said with a smile.

"Tsk, as expected of your taste." Wuyue was speechless.

Orihime Inoue is impeccable in terms of personality, character, and appearance. However, her tastes are rather unique. Her preference for a sweet and savory combination is quite unusual. Nel, on the other hand, seems quite satisfied with it. Perhaps it's a case of birds of a feather flocking together; both of them are naive and sweet.

Of course, Mugetsu was just complaining. After all, although he was a tenant, aside from forcing Orihime to pay rent every month, he ate and drank at her house for free every day, so what did he have to complain about? Most importantly, even though Orihime's tastes were unique, her cooking skills were quite amazing. Even strange combinations couldn't hide the excellent taste.

"I'll go wash up first, you guys eat first." With that, Wuyue headed straight for the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Orihime and Nel went downstairs and sat down at the dining table.

“Nel…” Gently scooping up the soup with a spoon, Orihime suddenly asked, “I heard that you and Muzuki-kun were teacher and student before?”

“Well, I was his elementary school teacher.” Nilu took a bite of her pancake, a satisfied look on her face. “However, our relationship isn’t that simple. We’ve known each other for a long time.”

"A long time ago?" Orihime tilted her head, showing considerable curiosity about the topic. Knowing each other before elementary school... could it be from infancy? "But with such a large age gap, won't there be a generation gap?"

“Generation gap? What’s that?” Nilu blinked and said, “So, don’t try to apply ordinary human relationships to us. Between us… well, you’ll find out later anyway.”

"What do you know?" Wu Yue came down from upstairs at this moment. Dressed neatly, he looked like a refined young master from a bygone era, exuding an aura that made it impossible to look away.

“You know our secret, huh?” Nel said with a double meaning, “Orihime has grown up too, and wants to know more about you.”

Swish.

The shy Orihime blushed immediately and lowered her head, not daring to look at the other person again.

"Well, those things take time." Wuyue didn't seem to care, glancing out the window. "But it should be soon. The prelude is about to begin."

Following Mugetsu's gaze, which stretched several kilometers away, a Hollow resembling a praying mantis was chasing after Kurosaki Ichigo, who had grown into a young boy.

At that moment, a long sword suddenly appeared, cleaving the entire waist of the void in two, and blood rained down everywhere.

Ichigo Kurosaki was stunned, the shock before him leaving him utterly stunned. Just as he was about to speak, the woman in black who had drawn her sword merely glanced at him indifferently before turning and leaving.

Chapter 0513 Family Dinner

Bang bang bang.

A crisp knock sounded on the door.

"Here I am, here I am."

With a creak, the door opened, and a blonde girl wearing an apron came into Wuyue's view.

"My son, are you cooking for your mother again?"

"Brother Wuyue, Sister Zhiji," Yuzi called out sweetly. "Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time." As she spoke, she let the two people outside the door into the house.

Today is the Kurosaki family's weekly family dinner day. This is a strict rule set by the family's "big devil," Kurosaki Masaki. No matter what activities are happening today, or if friends invite you, it cannot be used as an excuse or reason for the whole family to attend today's dinner together.

As for why Nel didn't come, it's because this girl currently doesn't have much public interaction with Wuyue's family. Wuyue's family members are not publicly aware of her relationship with Wuyue.

However, Orihime, the "official daughter-in-law," was already known to Mugetsu's adoptive parents quite early on. Therefore, it was only natural that she became an invitee to the Kurosaki family's home.

After changing shoes with Orihime in the entryway, Mugetsu casually walked into the house. Kurosaki Ichigo, Kurosaki Ichigo, and Kurosaki Karin were already seated and greeted them upon their arrival.

"Brother Muyue, Sister Orihime."

"Oh, you've arrived."

"Orihime, make yourself at home. Mugetsu! You brat, I didn't ask you to sit down!"

"So you want me to eat standing up?" Wuyue shrugged and asked in return.

"You bastard, what kind of attitude is this?!" Kurosaki Isshin feigned anger, "How can you talk to your own father like that?"

"Ah, that's just how I am, come and hit me then." Wuyue raised an eyebrow.

"Damn it, looks like you really want to fight!"

"You're not up to it anymore. You're too old. As an elderly person, you shouldn't get angry so easily."

"Damn it! Ichigo, teach him a lesson!"

"Huh? What does this have to do with me?" Ichigo Kurosaki was completely bewildered. "Besides, I can't beat him either. This guy's fighting power is freakish!"

You should know that Wuyue is a tyrant at school. Even the senior students and the delinquents outside of school treat him with utmost respect.

This is all thanks to Wuyue's hard work these past few days. Despite being only sixteen years old, he possesses extraordinary strength! He once single-handedly defeated the entire judo club on the school's playground, earning him the nickname "Monster Student"!

"Hmph, giving up the fight just because the enemy is too strong?" Kurosaki Ichigo's actions earned him his father's disdain. "You'll never become a strong fighter if you act like this."

"So why do I need to become strong?!" Ichigo Kurosaki sighed, rubbing his forehead in exasperation. "This is a society governed by law! What's the point of being brave and violent?!"

"That's true, but Kurosaki seems to get into fights outside of school quite often," Orihime added, her usual tactless sarcasm carrying a punchline.

This girl clearly distinguishes between Ichigo and Mugetsu. Even though they are brothers, she calls Mugetsu "Mugetsu-kun," while she calls Ichigo "Kurosaki-kun."

"Ah, that's not what I wanted," Ichigo Kurosaki sighed, "It's all because of this hair color."

Indeed, his striking orange hair caused Ichigo Kurosaki considerable trouble. Especially after entering high school, he was almost always considered a delinquent.

"What's wrong with this hair color?" Just then, a gentle female voice rang out. Kurosaki Masaki walked out from the back room with a gentle and kind smile. "Ichigo, are you disgusted with the hair your mother gave you?"

"No, no!" Even looking at his smiling mother, Kurosaki Ichigo dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction. He knew all too well what a terrifying soul lurked beneath his mother's gentle smile.

"Muzuki, you've gotten even fairer and more delicate these past few days. Orihime has taken good care of you." Kurosaki Masaki looked at her second son, giving him a meaningful glance.

"You're doing a good job..." Wuyue felt utterly devastated and said helplessly, "I'm not a pet."

“In a sense, it is indeed a bit more advanced than a pet,” Masaki Kurosaki said slyly. “Just like how I treated your father.”

puff.

Kurosaki Isshin, who was drinking tea, immediately spat it out, his gaze turning resentful.

"Mutsuki-kun, your family has such a good relationship." Orihime expressed her envy.

"It's pretty good." Wuyue nodded in agreement, then her lips twitched involuntarily as she said, "It's just that the way it's expressed is a bit strange."

As soon as he finished speaking, Youzi brought out plates of exquisite dishes from the back room and skillfully placed them on the table. A sumptuous dinner had begun.

After dinner, Kurosaki Isshin was dragged by Kurosaki Masaki to do housework, leaving only a few teenagers sitting at the table.

At this moment, Kurosaki Yuuko suddenly asked with a gossipy heart, "Hey, Muzuki-nii and Orihime-neechan, how far have you two gotten?"

"Huh?" Wuyue immediately frowned and asked, "You're already concerned about these things at your age? Don't ask so many questions, little girl."

"Hmm, actually I'd like to know too." Kurosaki Ichigo also looked curious. "After all, you've been living together for so long."

Seeing Orihime's flushed face and shy, flustered expression, Mugetsu sighed helplessly. "Well, we haven't even gone any steps yet. I'm not thinking about these things right now, we'll talk about it later. Um, I love studying..."

Chapter 0514 The Crossroads of Fate

You're kidding me! I don't believe it! It's bullshit!

This is a true reflection of the Kurosaki siblings' inner thoughts. In their eyes, their older brother (or younger brother) has never been a good person since he was old enough to understand.
