The Alchemist in Bleach

"Well, because I already have mimicry Shikai technology, mimicry Zanpakuto technology, and Zanpakuto anthropomorphism technology, as well as a bunch of miscellaneous little inventions, this way I won't attract attention. What about you? Any ideas?"

“Originally, it didn’t exist. Now, I want to turn it into a spell. As you know, I prefer developing ghost spells. I usually invent little gadgets.”

“Transforming into a divine body is no small matter…” Ichiro retorted, then asked, “What about the Great Spiritual Tome Corridor? My crafted items are fine, but your spells will be copied.”

Urahara smiled and said confidently, "That's very simple. You know, there are many things in this world that you can know but cannot replicate."

Ichiro's eyes lit up: "You mean, Zanpakuto and Fullbring?"

"Well, Fullbring itself involves the power of the Soul King. With it as the core, uniqueness is easy to achieve. Besides, wouldn't it be incredibly shameful for the inventor to lose to a thief?"

Looking at the confident Urahara, Ichiro really wanted to put him down, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Urahara really did have the right to do so. In the original work, Aizen seemed to have everything under control, but in the end, you would find that Urahara had basically the upper hand.

Even if Mugetsu didn't completely defeat Aizen in the last round, he still had a backup plan. Ichiro even knew that the two kids in his shop could be used as substitutes for the Soul King!

This is terrifying!

Although Aizen is the coolest character in the entire series, upon closer examination, it seems that he only won once, over a hundred years ago in the original timeline. After that, because he disappeared from view, Aizen was completely outmaneuvered...

So, knowing this guy's personality, he might actually have some hidden tricks up his sleeve; anyone who tries to copy them is a fool...

Therefore, Ichiro didn't say anything. After tidying up their clothes, the two walked together towards the secret base. It had been more than a month since the last exchange meeting, and it was time to pretend with them, no, to share their training results!

Urahara shared the same thought. Although he hadn't had time to focus on his training this past month, the relentless pursuit at the beginning had given him plenty of opportunities to experiment, and he had made considerable progress.

And so, the two, each with their own ulterior motives, quietly made their way to the secret base.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Another dog-killing spree!

Half an hour later, Urahara and Ichiro sat dejectedly under a rock, brooding over their progress. They had thought they were making rapid progress, but Yoruichi had given them both a real blow...

First, the instantaneous coaxing technique has been fully developed, which was expected. After all these years, it was only a hair's breadth away from reaching this point.

Second, he has completely mastered the Kido techniques of level 90 and below, only one level behind Ichiro!

This was completely unexpected for both of them!

In reality, it was because Yoruichi's talent in Hakuda was so strong that the two forgot that Yoruichi's talent in Kido was actually not weak. She could use all kinds of advanced Kido techniques at will, and Shunko was a combination of Kido and Hakuda. How could her Kido be bad?

It should be noted that Ichiro's talent in Kido is due to the influence of alchemy on his soul in the past, which gives him an extremely strong talent for manipulating spiritual particles. This is manifested in his extraordinary talent in Kido. In addition, the scientific thinking he developed in his previous two lives allows him to learn Kido very quickly.

Even with this cheat-like situation, Yoruichi was still able to keep up with him in terms of demonic cultivation!

His talent is evident!

But the most terrifying thing is actually the third point...

Instant Step!

Yoruichi is already showing some of the flair of the future Shunshin!

They couldn't even catch a whiff of exhaust fumes overnight!

monster!

In the end, of the four major techniques of Zanken, Zouken, and Oni, Urahara was surpassed in three of them: Zanken, Zouken, and Oni. Ichiro was surpassed in two of them: Zanken and Zouken. The gap between those who were not surpassed was not large, but the gap between those who were surpassed was huge. Anyone would feel depressed in that situation.

Hmm, I'm not withdrawn...

She became withdrawn two years ago...

In front of the two reclusive individuals, Yoruichi was sitting with her legs crossed, bobbing up and down as she looked down at them, making a loud smacking sound as she chewed on a cookie!

After all these years! She's finally turned her life around!

Yoruichi was so moved she almost shed tears!

......

After a period of playful banter, the four of them officially began their discussion. Each of them raised their doubts about the past few days from the four aspects of slaying fists and walking ghosts, and then the other three provided answers. Individual cultivation is no match for the four of them working together.

Moreover, the four of them—well, currently, the three excluding Ichiro—are proficient in almost all four major areas of combat: slashing, fist fighting, and ghost walking, so there are basically no misconceptions about them.

Previously, there was a gap in his swordsmanship, but since Ichiro started learning swordsmanship from the captain, this weakness has been filled.

The first to raise a question was Ichiro. Ichiro mainly answered questions about swordsmanship and Kido, with Urahara Yoruichi providing supplementary answers. Urahara mainly answered questions about Shikai Tozen, with Ichiro Yoruichi providing supplementary answers. Yoruichi mainly answered questions about Shunpo and Hakuda, with Ichiro Urahara providing supplementary answers. The goal is to maximize the use of resources within the small team.

After Ichio's questions were answered, the main event was the discussion among the three of them. Although Ichio couldn't understand the content because it was too profound, she would take notes!

Anyway, it's not like we can't keep asking questions after it's over, so the three of them discussed while one person took notes.

This harmonious scene reappeared in the underground space a month later...

The next day, Ichiro and Urahara staggered out of bed. After getting dressed, the two, looking presentable once again, headed towards the classroom... well, the 12th Division. The computer matter was more important now, and as for the class, they had already taken it for over a month, so one or two more days wouldn't make a difference.

"You even know the captain of the 12th Division?" Ichiro exclaimed in surprise as they walked along.

"Ha~ You're kidding me, why can't I get to know her?"

"With such a filthy mind, do you really think any big shot would appreciate you?"

"..." Looking at Ichiro's sincere face, Urahara fell into deep thought. Yes, why? Suddenly, Urahara clutched his chest in horror, "Could it be that he's after my good looks?"

"..." Ichiro stared speechlessly at Urahara. "Are you serious? If you're going to be after anyone, it'll be me, right? You? Who would even look at you? Hah~"

"Heh~ That's hard to say. Maybe someone is the one who's truly unwanted by everyone?" Urahara said meaningfully.

Ichiro stopped in his tracks, looking at Urahara with an incredulous expression: "You don't really think Yoruichi likes you, do you? You're brothers!!!"

"Pat pat~" Ichiro patted Urahara's shoulder with a weathered look on his face and said, "Brother, don't think too much. This climate isn't suitable for growing peaches. Don't force yourself to eat them."

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked ahead, leaving Urahara behind, who was still questioning his life once again.

Believe it or not, he almost believed what he just said!

"The Golden Horse Awards owe me a Best Actor award!"

'Ichiro-sama......'

'Huh? What's wrong, world?'

'Please stop acting as a relationship advisor...'

"Why? I see it very clearly, don't I? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

'But you almost convinced yourself just now…' She didn't dare say this aloud, only sighing silently. At the same time, she was also relieved that Ichiro had no experience…

After taking a few steps, Ichiro turned to look at Urahara, who was still contemplating life, and called out, "Let's go. What are you thinking about?"

Urahara jolted awake, instantly realizing, "You misled me!"

"If you like her so much, then confess your feelings."

"What if she really treats me like a brother? Wouldn't that be awkward? I'll wait until the time is right."

"Heh~ The time is ripe... That's what all unrequited childhood sweethearts think. It seems like there's going to be a fireworks festival in Rukongai in a couple of days. In the future, this would be a great opportunity to confess your feelings. We'll create an opportunity for you then. Trust me, take a gamble!"

"Is this really okay? And trusting you... I don't really feel like it's reliable. You're single too..."

"..." Ichiro felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. "Then why the hell did you ask me?!"

"Isn't it because we can't find anyone...?"

"........"

........

The two walked towards the Twelfth Division, arguing incessantly until they reached the entrance, at which point they finally quieted down.

"Brother, could you please inform Captain Hikifune that Urahara Kisuke requests an audience? Thank you." Urahara straightened his clothes and spoke politely to the Shinigami guarding the door.

The gatekeeper, Death, glanced at Urahara, exchanged a look with his teammate, nodded, and said, "Wait here, I'll go and inform them."

The 12th Division is mainly responsible for scientific research, which is different from other divisions. Therefore, even though there is a reception area in the division building, not just anyone can go in. Obviously, people like Urahara can only wait at the door.

If Ichiro comes as the Fourth Division, he can get in. To be precise, the Fourth Division title allows him to enter any division without prior permission, including the First Division!

After all, he's a doctor, so he has some privileges.

Soon, a plump female Grim Reaper walked out with a smile, calling out as she went, "Long time no see, Urahara-kun. Are you here to pick up that machine?"

The newcomer was none other than Kiryu Hikifune, the captain of the 12th Division!

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Birth of the Computer!

“Yes, Captain Hikifune, we heard a couple of days ago that the research was almost complete, so we came to take a look. We hope we haven’t bothered you?” Urahara asked while bowing.

"It's nothing. I've been pretty free lately. The computer development is finished, but I don't know if it meets your requirements. Come in and take a look."

Captain Hikifune spread his hands and took the lead, with Ichiro Urahara following naturally.

"Is this the legendary Tenshin Ichiro over there?"

"You know me?" Ichiro asked curiously, since his information should have been blocked.

"When Urahara asked me to do this before, I did some research and learned about it at that time. But don't worry, Captain Unohana has already given instructions that I won't tell anyone about your situation."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"It's nothing. I was the one who investigated the information without authorization first." During the conversation, the three walked to a house. Captain Yezhou stepped forward, opened the door, and went inside.

"Some of the computers we've developed are already in use, but these are not yet. Let me introduce them first, and you can ask us any questions you may have," Captain Yezhou said, pointing to the instruments in the room that resembled experimental tables.

Kazuro Urahara nodded.

"In addition to the functions you mentioned at the beginning, I also asked some spirits from the future in Rukongai about the computer's functions. Unfortunately, I wasn't very lucky. I didn't find any that had recently reincarnated, and most of them only had some memories left. So I made some changes based on the Shinigami system."

First of all, the two functions that you value most, computing and storage, have been fully developed. However, the online function you mentioned can only be connected one-to-one at present. That would require other technologies to work together, and the conditions are not yet met.

Secondly, there's another interface here for connecting to the ghostly magic formulas we use for analysis. The data analyzed from the ghostly magic formulas will be directly connected to this. Oh, by the way, you need to write your own calculation methods. What you're talking about is a calculation method geared towards the modern world; this is mainly for calculations related to ghostly magic formulas.

Sensing Captain Hikifune's gaze, Ichiro nodded in understanding; he already knew this.

"Finally, this is it." Captain Yezhou pointed to a machine next to him that was obviously smaller, similar to a desktop computer. "This is the portable version. The functions are similar, but the capabilities are a bit weaker. Its advantage is convenience."

These are the basic functions. There might be other needs later, but we haven't thought of any yet. Just use it for now. If you develop something, please send us a sample. Or, if you have any other requirements, please let us know now, and if our existing technology can handle it, we'll add it for you.

Upon hearing this, Urahara looked at Ichiro. He didn't know much about this thing either, but the current functions were enough to meet his needs.

Ichiro nodded and said, "That's enough for Captain Hikifune. Thank you."

However, no sooner had they finished speaking than Ichiro and Urahara looked at the large computer, the size of the test bench, and began to worry. They could definitely carry it away, but the problem was that it wouldn't look good. At that moment, Ichiro was eagerly anticipating the standard equipment for transmigrators in novels—space equipment.

The boat captain noticed their predicament, smiled, and said, "Don't worry about the transportation. Just tell me where you want it delivered, and I'll have my men deliver it to you."
