The Alchemist in Bleach

Ichiro nodded, walked to Gin and Rangiku's side, grabbed one in each hand, draped them around the waist, and lightly leaped, landing gently on the dragon's back amidst their tense moments.

"Old Dog, remember to organize the data. Someone will contact you to coordinate by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Understood, take care, Gin, Rangiku, goodbye~"

"Roar~~"

With a flap of its wings, the dragon soared into the air amidst the astonished gazes of the residents near Rukongai, and then swiftly flew towards the nearest main gate.

On the dragon's back, Ichiro gently put the two tense people down and then asked, "Go ahead and ask. You've been holding this question in for a long time, haven't you?"

Yin pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Where are you taking us?"

'As expected~' Ichiro's face showed a helpless expression. He tugged at his armband and said, "Just like I said before, I'll take you to the Shinigami Academy to study and become Shinigami. It's too dangerous for you in Rukongai right now, and only by becoming Shinigami will you have enough power to protect yourselves."

"Just...that?"

"Otherwise what? What do you think I could possibly want from you? Saying more is useless. You'll see for yourselves tomorrow. Don't worry, Death, most of the time you're still good."

Upon hearing this, the silver eyes opened slightly. Most of it was good, so that meant there were some bad things too?

Yin glanced almost imperceptibly at Rangiku, whose body was still trembling slightly, and for the first time, the thought arose in his mind: he needed to become stronger quickly; only in this way could he better protect her...

'The Grim Reaper? Well, let's give it a try!'

Chapter 149 A Magical Touch!

Back at the Fourth Division, Ichiro first handed Gin and Rangiku over to a member of the Fourth Division and settled them into a room. As for the matter of enrolling in school, that would have to wait until tomorrow.

Then he headed straight for the warehouse. There was no rush at the Zhenyang Pharmacy, and the head of the Shifengyuan family also needed some time to communicate with other families. So what was more urgent now was to finalize the deal with the old dog as soon as possible.

However, Ichiro doesn't need to do this. He only needs to notify the warehouse, and then the next step is to redistribute manpower, transfer some technicians to specialize in making the potions, and if necessary, draw back Shinigami from other squads.

While the ability to perform the "returning to the starting position" is a specialty of the Fourth Division, it doesn't mean that other divisions don't have members who can do it. Some of them even transferred out of the Fourth Division, such as Kira Izuru, the vice-captain of the Third Division in the original work, who was originally from the Fourth Division.

Besides that, tomorrow we need to negotiate with other squads to send several teams of Shinigami to Rukongai to ensure the supply of medicine, and then there's the matter of the wounded...

Suddenly, Ichiro froze on the spot. He realized something: why was he so busy?

Shouldn't these be the duties of the vice-captain and captain?

What merit or ability does he possess to hold three seats?

Now he understood why Kiyonosuke was leading a team to the battlefield to provide medical care, just like the captain; logically, that should have been Ichiro's job...

"Bastard! You tricked me!" Ichiro cursed Seinosuke, then sighed and continued walking towards the storeroom. At this point, there was no point in saying anything more. Faced with these things, could he not do it?

Many people will die...

A little while later, Ichiro arrived at the warehouse and saw Shiraki Shige preparing to pack up and change shifts, so he quickly walked up to him and called out to him.

"The Three Seats of Tianxin?"

"Yes, the inventory problem we discussed during the day has been resolved. The Shin-O Pharmacy will be opening its inventory to us soon. At the same time, I've found a new channel in Rukongai. Those guys are fearless. When you take your men to collect the goods, be careful. Protect yourself and the channel as well. Compile statistics on the quality of what they collect. If possible, report it to me, and I'll keep track of it."

After saying that, he handed Shiramoto a slip of paper with Old Dog's address on it, and then asked, "Is there anything else at the warehouse?"

Bai Muzhi took the note blankly and subconsciously replied, "That's all."

He didn't react until Ichiro's figure disappeared into the distance. If he remembered correctly, he had only submitted the issue around noon, right? It was resolved so quickly? And even exceeded expectations...

Ichiro, unaware of Shiraki's thoughts, left the storeroom and headed straight for the general treatment center, intending to help there.

And this help lasted until midnight...

"You guys go back and rest first, I'll handle the rest here."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to the three seats of Tianxin."

Smiling at the departing team members, Ichiro's face immediately fell. He sighed and began cleaning up the trash, putting away medicines and other items. Occasionally, he would also help other team members on duty check on patients who woke up groaning in pain.

By the time all that was done, it was almost 4 a.m., but the worst part was, the work wasn't finished yet...

He also needed to categorize the wounded, determining which could receive faster treatment to free up space, which needed slower treatment and could be treated with medication to increase their spiritual pressure, and which were suitable for mass treatment, so that they could be grouped together in a large return tunnel to go back directly.

In short, there were a lot of miscellaneous tasks.

Of course, there are specialists handling these tasks, but there are always some left over. Ichiro's task is to finish these tasks as much as possible to prevent them from piling up and accumulating, and before you know it, time just slowly slips away.

As Ichiro finished his work and prepared to leave, he was stunned to find the young woman who had greeted him the previous night walking in. She had come to work... The two stared at each other silently...

"..." Haruko looked at Ichiro in surprise, and paused for a moment, "The Third Seat of Tenshin works so long... Don't you ever leave work?"

Looking at the neat and tidy office, Haruko asked in surprise.

"...Just got off work, now let's get to work... Let's get started!" After saying that, he turned around, picked up a few lists, and began working.

"Um... Tianxin Third Seat, why don't you go back and rest first? We can handle most minor injuries."

"It's alright, don't worry about me. I'm used to it. I can go ten days or half a month without sleep. Get back to work, the patients are waiting." After saying that, Ichiro took the prepared medicine and went out.

"Why is the Third Seat of Tenshin here so early?" At this moment, a young man walked up to Haruko and asked in surprise as he looked at Ichiro's back.

"It's not that early, I just started work, though I just got off work too..." Shaking her head, Haruko picked up her notebook and turned to check on the patients she was responsible for.

"??? Just started work? Just got off work? You mean you stayed up all night...?"

.......

Then, Ichiro was busy until noon, and took a break to check on the barrier of the eight members of the Eleventh Division, just in case they really died, which would be a big problem.

It wasn't until noon that Ichiro finally got a short break, but only for a moment. He then took Gin and Rangiku back to the First Division. Although he could enroll them himself, the current situation was quite tense, and he had already done a lot of things. The procedures could be made as complicated as possible, so that no one could find any fault with him.

Most importantly, Gin must not get into trouble. If, halfway through, the timeline from a previous fanfiction is brought together and Gin is put back on Aizen's side, then we're doomed.

Although he didn't believe in world line convergence, because if such a thing really existed, the first one to be doomed would be him, Tenshin Ichiro!

However, it's always better to be safe than sorry. When facing Aizen, who possesses the power of illusion, one can never be too cautious.

A little while later, Ichiro, who had just missed Yachiru again, brought the two of them to the First Division.

Captain's Office

"Ichiro, is there something you need?" The Captain-Commander glanced curiously at Gin and Rangiku behind him, slightly surprised. Their spiritual pressure was indeed impressive... He also had some guesses in his mind.

"It's mainly for these two children. I saw them in Rukongai and brought them back because I thought they had good talent. However, I remember that this year's enrollment has ended, so I wanted to tell you that I plan to enroll them and protect them while they are at school."

"No problem, but I thought it was your younger brother or sister."

"What a coincidence."

"Yeah, what a coincidence!"

Hearing the captain's meaningful words, Ichiro was taken aback and frowned, asking, "What happened?"

"What a coincidence... A year after you left, a girl enrolled in school claiming to be your sister in this life. Coincidentally, isn't it? Even more coincidentally... most of the information she shared was revealed by you..."

"So, Captain, what you mean is...?"

"He's at the academy, do you want to see him?"

Chapter 150 Permission

"Hehe~ No rush~" Ichiro chuckled and declined.

He has too many things to do right now to deal with the imposter.

Yes, imposters.

Ichiro does have a younger sister, but that was in his first life. He didn't have one in his second life, and he's unsure about his third life, which is this one, because he didn't have any memories of the present world when he transmigrated. Therefore, he even doubts whether this body ever truly existed in the present world.

However, when he brags, he often says that he has a younger sister, mainly based on the one from his first life, and then adding a lot of illusions, because Ichiro can't recall any more memories of his sister from his first life unless he deliberately meditates.

This is also why the Captain-Commander and the others suspected it immediately. The timing was too coincidental. Ichiro had just left when you arrived. And now that he's dead, are you going to inherit his estate?

Of course, such an obvious loophole shouldn't occur. In any case, Ichiro hasn't been ambushed in recent years, but Yoruichi has been ambushed. Of course, this might also be related to his staying at home and doing research.

However, what made the Captain-Commander and the others suspicious was something else entirely: the "little sister" that Ichiro described to the Captain-Commander, Captain Unohana, Tenshin Issei, and their friends was completely different!

The newly emerging "younger sister" is the only similarity everyone heard, meaning all the differences have been ruled out. It's no wonder people are suspicious...

However, since this matter involved Ichiro, and there were concerns that it might affect Ichiro's operations in Hueco Mundo, Captain Unohana did not tell Ichiro during their routine communication.

However, Ichiro couldn't understand why the other party would pretend to be his sister. What benefit would it bring?

While he's in Hueco Mundo, we can ambush and kill him, then take over his benefits.

He's just a poor recent graduate with only a few skills, and those skills are already exposed. What can he possibly inherit? Does he expect Captain Unohana to take on another apprentice?

Using his connections to climb the ladder?

Before Ichiro confirmed it, how many people would acknowledge this relationship? And most importantly, how did the other party obtain this information?

It's important to know that each "sister" that Ichiro introduces has different characteristics, or rather, they are all classic. Just how classic?

It's the same level as his spiritual pressure!

Ask the same person again the next day, and you'll hear subtle changes. The difference is that these settings all look incredibly cute—just different combinations.

How can you expect others to believe this?

Ichiro did consider the possibility that this person might be the incarnation of the Moon Spirit, since only He possessed such power.

But Ichiro immediately ruled it out.

First, the timeline doesn't match up; at that time, Yue Ling didn't even have a shadow, and her appearance hadn't even been designed yet. Second, Yue Ling doesn't have a gender. Third, Yue Ling has already denied it.

Therefore, her purpose remains even more mysterious, because it is quite inevitable that she would be exposed if she met Ichiro.

Others might not know, but how could Ichiro not know?

So Ichiro isn't planning to see her for the time being; he's too busy to deal with her right now.

"Okay, let's do it your way. By the way, did you read the documents Chojiro sent yesterday?"

"What document? Sorry, I just got back yesterday and have been working until just now, I didn't pay much attention. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just those guys from the Eleventh Division. Let them go in a week. This isn't going to have a good impact. A little punishment will do."

"Okay, I'll try to catch up on the anatomy course in the next couple of days."
