Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

"Room 46 did not issue such an order." Dong Xian emphasized.

Ichiryu shrugged and said, "I have the authority to monitor the Gotei 13. This is my job."

"Rukia Kuchiki is a top-level criminal. No one is allowed to interrogate her without a warrant from Mao's 46th Room!" Tosen Kaname scolded.

Yilong raised his hands upon hearing this and said in a cynical tone, "Okay, okay, got it. Don't be so fierce! Captain Dongxian."

Chapter 7: Kasumigao Road

Seeing Yilong leave, Tosen Yao did not have any conversation with Rukia. He just instructed the guards not to let anyone in when he left.

If it were any other time, Rukia would definitely think that it was the principled Captain Tosen who drove Shihouin Ichiryu away, and Ichiryu would most likely hold a grudge against Captain Tosen because of this...

But now...

Rukia herself didn't know why, but she always felt that... Captain Tosen's "protection" of her just now didn't seem like protecting a "serious criminal", but rather protecting something "that he didn't want to be discovered"!

and……

What puzzled Rukia was that in the 46th room, the heads and elders of the Shifengyuan family occupied several seats. If Yilong really wanted the warrant, would he not have it? Why did Captain Tosen speak in such a tone?

……

A few days later, I appeared in the world, Karakura Town, August 1997, 8 in the Rooster Calendar.

Ichigo Kurosaki has passed the special training of store manager Urahara and recovered the "power of the god of death" that he thought was taken away. He is preparing to go to the store to meet up with his companions and then set off to Soul Society together.

He couldn't explain to his mother and sisters why he was leaving. He could only tell his mother that he would be away for a while and was ready to leave without saying goodbye late at night.

But just when he walked out of the house...

"Ouch!" Ichigo was hit lightly on the head by something, so he instinctively caught it, only to find out... it was a pendant?

"This brat... is really a source of worry for me."

Ichigo shuddered when he heard the voice, and when he looked up, he saw his violent mother, speaking from the second floor window.

"Mom...I..." Ichigo felt a little guilty.

"Forget it, you're old enough to quietly leave home late at night, but... take that with you." Masaki said, looking at the pendant in Ichigo's hand.

"This is... full of cheapness..." Ichigo accidentally told the truth, and at the same time secretly complained, "Is leaving home quietly in the middle of the night a symbol of age?"

"Haha, cheap? Then you have to ask your dad if he lied to me." Masaki curled her lips.

"Eh? Dad?" Ichigo was stunned when he heard that.

"That was given to me by your father. It is said to be able to ward off evil spirits. I'm just giving it to you temporarily... Remember to return it to me when you come back." Masaki emphasized.

Ichigo murmured in a low voice, "Isn't it stolen goods? Why not hand it over and reduce his sentence..."

Masaki added, "By the way, it can only ward off evil spirits. If you want to ward off other things, remember to buy them yourself..."

"I'm not... Never mind, anyway... I will definitely get home safely before daddy does..." Ichigo said solemnly.

Duang——

The tough Masaki has already closed the window.

Ichigo: ...

……

Time goes back to a few days ago, July 997rd, 7th year of the Holy War Calendar - the calendar of Soul Society is similar to that of the human world, but the difference in the first year is exactly one thousand years.

Because it was the first unified empire, the "Xingtian Dynasty" respected the You system, so it used the You calendar as the year, which has been passed down to this day.

After leaving the 9th Squad, Yilong went straight to the clan land of the Kasumigaoji family.

When they saw Yilong coming, the two guards at the door looked conflicted and alert.

"Deputy Captain Shifengyuan, what are you doing..." The guard of the Kasumigaoji family asked in embarrassment.

"I have something to meet with the head of the Xiadalu family. Go and inform him." Yilong said directly when he saw this.

"This... the head of the Yunjing family..." The guard also looked embarrassed.

"The Yunjing family's steward should have been in the Qingjing Tower Forest in recent times, right? I want to see the head of the Xiadalu family, not the steward." Yilong interrupted directly.

In fact, Yilong also understood why the guards were in such a dilemma, but...

On the surface, Yilong was pretending to be stupid, but in reality... Yilong must enter this door today. Whether it was Yunjing or anything else, as long as they were in Qingjing Tajulin, it was "not important". It was just that he couldn't say it explicitly.

The Kasumigaoji family is one of the upper-class nobles in Seireitei, second only to the four great nobles! (Note 1)

For a long time, the Kasumigaoji family has implemented a system where female heads of the family are in charge. However... the current head of the family, Kasumigaoji Rurichiyo, is too young and does not have any extraordinary strength, talent, or means... so she has been sidelined by the retainer Yunjing.

Many years ago, when the old head of the family had just passed away, Yun Jing conspired with someone, accepted someone's advice, and used his influence to reform the Kasumigaoji family into a family-master system, with he, the head of the retainers, serving as the master of the family and actually controlling the Kasumigaoji family.

Someone even helped him to smooth over the connections, so that he, a retainer from a lower-class noble family, could represent the Kasumigaoji family and serve as the judge of the Mao Forty-sixth Room!

Therefore, for a long time, Yun Jing and someone have actually had a very good relationship.

only……

In the past two years, a certain person began to have frequent contact with the head of the family, Ruri Chiyo, causing Yun Jing to become suspicious, and when his warnings were fruitless, he became even more dissatisfied.

Later, when Yun Jing decided to collude with the head of Shifengyuan to facilitate the marriage between Ruri Chiyo and his second son, someone also interfered!

But now Yun Jing feels that the game is already stable. Even if someone has some small ideas, it is not that important. This time, he and the head of the Shifengyuan family, who is also the eldest son of the head of the family, plan to take advantage of the meeting in Mao's Forty-Sixth Room to finalize the matter. When they come out of Qingjing Tower Julin, they will announce the marriage of the two families.

Afterwards, the Kumoi and Shihouin families will divide the Kasumigaoji family, and the Shihouin family even agrees to do their best to help the Kumo family become a middle-class noble family and obtain a seat in the Gold Seal Noble Council.

……

Just when the guards were speechless, an extremely ugly man came over wearing a retainer's robe. With his dignity, he looked like a monkey in a human costume - this man was one of Yun Jing's confidants, and was in the Bronze Tiger Formation.

"The butler has ordered that you are not welcome here, hehe." Zhennei walked up to Yilong and said to him in a low voice, and also laughed strangely a few times.

Before leaving, Yun Jing had instructed that Yilong was not allowed to enter - in Yun Jing's opinion, Yilong would not dare to openly turn against him, after all, he was just going to "Qingjing Tajulin" for a meeting for a while, not dead.

What's more, even the head and the overseer of the Shihouin family have already cooperated with him, so Yilong and the like... are no longer important!

This kind of thinking naturally also affected his lackeys...

----

Note 1: This part about the Kasumigaoji family is an original setting of the animation. In the animation, the retainer Kumoi started to seize power after Aizen defected, and even murdered Rurichiyo. The core villain of this part in the animation is Amagai Shusuke.

However, in this book, the protagonist's "butterfly wings" have already flapped greatly and become the current situation. The person who colluded with Yun Jing has become Yilong, and Tianbei of the expeditionary force will not appear until later.

In the animation plot, Tonghu Zhennei and others are killers secretly arranged by Yunjing. However, because of the protagonist's planning, Yunjing became the butler and was in charge of the Kasumigaoji family in broad daylight, so these famous killers have also become public.

Chapter 8 Nice clothes

The guards didn't dare to reject Yilong openly. After all, he was the deputy captain, and nominally they didn't want to force their way in, but to see the head of the Kasumidaru family...

But as Yunjing's loyal dog, Jinnai is not afraid of offending Yilong!

Moreover, Jinnai thought he understood the plans of the housekeeper and the head of the Shifengyuan family, and knew that Yilong had been marginalized in this matter, and was sure that he would not dare to openly disobey...

Snapped--

When Jinnai reacted, he had already fallen to the ground...

Yilong actually slapped Yunjing Jiazai's lackey to the ground in front of Xiadalu's house!

Although Jinnai's spiritual pressure is not weak, and he knows a little about "Zanken Zougui", but... as a "member of the noble armed forces" who is not from the 13th Division and has not applied to the 13th Division, and a non-mainstream Shinigami, he does not have a Zanpakutō!

At least in theory, there is no such thing as a "legitimate" Zanpakutō, so the blade on the waist is just made of ordinary spiritual material - although the strength of the holder's spiritual pressure determines the strength of the Zanpakutō, but... the Zanpakutō also "gives back" to the holder.

With equal strength, the party without Zanpakuto is at a great disadvantage. Even with the same qualifications, the Shinigami with Zanpakuto can train faster, so Zanpakuto will quickly become the "standard equipment for Shinigami"!

Of course, most of the nobles, especially the ancient nobles, have their own arming capabilities - after all, Zanpakuto has only existed for two thousand years. Before that, the nobles of Soul Society each had similar arming capabilities, which can be said to be the predecessor of Zanpakuto!

Some of them are as effective as Zanpakuto, but most of them have side effects.

The most famous family in this regard is the Shifengyuan family - known as the "Heaven-given Weapons", with countless magical weapons...

Nowadays, some of the nobles' private armed forces will also apply for Zanpakutō, but it is not without restrictions. Therefore, the real ancient aristocratic families generally still maintain the armed forces of "non-Zanpakutō Shinigami".

However, the ancestral armed force of the Xiadaolu family, the [Mo Yao Dao], is somewhat taboo, and Yunjing does not dare to equip it openly now.

Not to mention that the spiritual pressure within the formation is merely "not weak", which is completely incomparable to Ichilong who "barely reaches the captain level".

In addition, he never expected Yilong to take action. By the time he reacted, he was already lying on the ground, stunned!

"You... damn it! How dare you..." Jinnai was not seriously injured, but he was completely stunned.

After all, he is no longer a "killer" but a retainer. He has been treated like a nobody for a long time, but now he is suddenly insulted like this. It is a bit too sudden.

Just when he was about to stand up and fight back...

Zheng——

I saw Yilong actually pulled out his Zanpakuto and pointed it in front of his throat!

"Apologize." Yilong said calmly and indifferently.

confused……

A strange sound came out of Jinnai's throat - on the one hand it was anger, on the other hand... it was the fear after feeling Yilong's murderous aura, which made him dare not move for a while.

"Deputy Captain Shifengyuan...what are you doing..." The guard at the door was also dumbfounded at this time.

He instinctively wanted to draw his sword, but when he saw Shifengyuan Yilong, he didn't dare to do it at all...

"You are just a running dog, yet you dare to offend the nobles of the Shifengyuan clan... I am one of the Five Elders of the Shifengyuan clan, and I am here to see the head of the family you are loyal to... You understand, right? Apologize immediately, or I will kill you here for the crime of offending you!" Yilong said righteously.

"I...you...the head of the Shihouin family is also...ah!"

Jinnai was about to say something, but this time Yilong cut off one of his arms.

At the same time, Ban Zuo had just rushed over and "just happened" to see the scene of an arm being cut off in the formation!

Banzuo has scars all over his face and purple, standing hair. He was the leader of Yunjing's previous killer organization. After Yunjing successfully implemented the household control system, Banzuo and his men went from being secret to being open and directly became retainers of the Kasumigaoji family. At this time, they were also dressed neatly in the robes of aristocratic retainers.

"Yilong! What are you doing?" Ban Zuo shouted hurriedly when he saw this.

"This guy offended the nobles... and when he was ordered to apologize, he also attempted to attack the vice-captain of the second squad and the head of the supervisory force. I judge that he intends to rebel... Is there a problem?" Yilong said calmly at this time.

"You... don't go too far! We are not the same as before... now we are the Xiadaolu family..." Seeing this, Ban Zuo immediately wanted to refute.

However, Yilong stretched out his left hand, shook his index finger and said, "So what? When I see the head of the Kasumida Road family later, I will sincerely apologize... That is a matter between us nobles."

Ban Zuo: ...

In Ban Zuo's opinion, Yilong was just "playing dumb" here while Yunjing was away.

but……

In theory, they are really retainers of the Kasumigaoji family, and the head of the family is that... little girl!

"The butler and the head of your Shifengyuan family have already..." Banzuo still wanted to threaten Yilong.

However, he was interrupted by Yilong: "Shut up! Did I ask what your family chief is doing? I came to see the head of the Chiyo family. Besides... I will explain this guy's matter to the head of the Chiyo family later. So... what should I explain, an arm or an ugly head?"

As Yilong spoke, he slowly extended his Zanpakutō towards him, while looking at Hanzo with interest...

"Or do I need to report to the captain-general after dealing with the incident in which some retainers of the Kasumigaoji family attacked this captain and intended to rebel?" Yilong seemed to be forcing Banzuo to take action.

In the end, Zhen Nei, who was holding his arm with blood gushing out from the broken part, could not bear the pressure and forced himself to say, "I, I hold you very tightly..."

Although he apologized, his eyes clearly said, when Jiazai comes back, you will...

pop - pop - pop -

Yilong used the back of his knife to hit Zhennei's shoulder several times, causing him to bend over unconsciously. Immediately, several holes appeared on his robe, and bloodstains appeared.

"A wild dog is a wild dog... Do you really not understand? The basic etiquette of apologizing to a noble!" Yilong said sarcastically.

Just as Jinnai's face became more and more ferocious, Ichilong, who had been just "bullying others" and didn't seem to be serious, suddenly summoned up his spiritual pressure.

Not a single bit of it was actually revealed, but the momentum was rising!

Although it is only "barely captain-level" spiritual pressure, it is already intimidating enough for those below the captain level!
