Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

Watching the female earth bat take the wine and disappear...

Kyoraku: ...

"After all, I am the captain of the supervisory force. This will not happen again!" Yilong reminded Kyoraku seriously, but because it was his first offense and out of consideration for the relationship between his colleagues, he did not refuse.

As for the wine, Yilong plans to wait for Shuifeng to come back before drinking it. Yilong never drinks with men.

Ise Nanao watched with a smile as she watched the captain lose a jar of wine, then left with a laugh - who told you to let him in!

When Ise left, Ichiryu also sat down opposite Kyoraku and reminded him: "Captain Kyoraku, you are the captain of the intelligence team, let me test you..."

"Isn't this part of the surveillance?" Kyoraku raised his hands, looking like he was surrendering.

"Room 46 has just assigned me a deputy captain, the deputy captain of the supervisory force. Guess who it is?" Yilong asked calmly.

Kyoraku frowned when he heard that, and continued, "So that's how it is, it's the inspection force... but you're just the deputy captain? That was also agreed by old man Shan, right? It seems like you've embarrassed old man Shan again." He had a troublesome tone, but he guessed most of the things.

Upon seeing this, Yilong thought highly of Kyoraku even more - this reaction speed not only showed his strong logical analysis, but also undoubtedly showed that he had a thorough understanding of the rules. At the same time... he was also strong in intelligence!

Kyoraku couldn't possibly know what happened in the underground council hall. If he really knew, he would have to keep it secret and not reveal it to Yilong.

In other words, before this, Kyoraku only knew that Ise Shinkuro had come out of retirement and had received support from the Tsunayashiro family.

Only then could he understand immediately after Yilong asked that Ise Shinkuro was appointed as the deputy captain of the supervisory force, and guessed some of the confrontations that took place during the meeting!

But Ichiryu didn't compliment him, instead he deliberately asked, "Hmm? Did you guess it was Tsunayashiro Tokinada?"

Kyoraku: ...

Kyoraku just laughed awkwardly at Ichiryu's irrelevant remarks - he had confirmed again and again that Tsunayashiro Tokinada was still in confinement, and the one who had made unusual movements was the Ise family, which could also explain why Shihouin Ichiryu came to him!

"Is it Ise Shinkuro? What a coincidence... It's the same last name as Nanao. It's a pity that Nanao is just a commoner." Kyoraku said as he took out another glass of wine and filled it up for himself.

Of course, it would be strange for Yilong to believe such words that only make things more obvious!

Given the last name "Ise" and the fact that Nanao looks very similar to her mother, many people have guessed that she is Kyōraku's niece. Although they themselves have not admitted it or called her that, Ichirū once accused him of favoritism!

As for the Ise family, they naturally discovered some clues, but...

At that time, Kyoraku Shunsui was growing stronger, but the Ise family had already declined. Even if they wanted to find out anything from Ise Nanao, they couldn't do it.

The head of the squad, Ise Chisako, joined forces with a big villain thirty years ago and wanted to force Ise Nanao to leave the Eighth Squad, but unfortunately she failed to achieve her goal - she was only forced to resign as "vice-captain" for a period of time, and now she has resumed her duties.

"Captain Kyoraku, please stop pretending. People are saying that you and your brother didn't have a good relationship back then. It wasn't until your brother married your sister-in-law that you became close again. You even often visited your brother's house..." Yilong leaned forward and whispered.

puff--

Kyoraku spat out the wine and then stared at Ichiryuu in front of him speechlessly.

Kyoraku is the captain of the intelligence team, and he is very sure that there is absolutely no such rumor in the Soul Society.

At the same time, Kyoraku is also a smart man. He is very sure that if Yilong doesn't get what he wants with him, there will be such rumors in the future!

"Although Ise Shinkuro used the Ise family to rise to power this time, and the Ise family has indeed been brooding over the theft of the sacred sword that year, but... Shinkuro himself must hate the Kasumigaoji family the most." Kyoraku reminded Ichiryu at this time.

At the same time, there is also a sense of "passing the buck" - he is targeting the Kasumigaoji family, not me, Kyoraku Shunsui, so don't come here to instigate me!

But what he said does make sense. After all, the Hojo family, where Ise Shinkuro came from, was destroyed by the Kasumigaoji family!

"Don't worry, Captain Kyoraku. Whatever the matter with the divine sword, if Shinkuro dares to cause trouble for the Eighth Division, I won't let him off!" Ichiryu didn't care about that and forced himself to share the same hatred with Kyoraku, as if Shinkuro would come to cause trouble for Kyoraku the next moment.

"Hehe, I don't know what you're talking about." Kyoraku laughed dryly - he was not afraid of Shinkuro or the Ise family.

"Come to think of it, when Miss Nanao was fostered, she was still a child. How could such a divine sword be in her possession? It must be in the possession of someone your sister-in-law trusts!" Ichiryu moved closer to Kyōraku, staring at the two Zanpakutō on his waist.

Before Ichigo "pretended to perform Shikai", there were only two "paired Zanpakutō" in Soul Society, in the hands of Ukitake Jushiro and Kyoraku Shunsui respectively.

However, there are some differences between their "paired" Zanpakutō.

Ukitake Jushiro's Zanpakutō, before the [Shikai], is a shallow sword, but after the [Shikai], it becomes two shark fin-shaped twin swords connected by a ribbon...

Kyoraku Shunsui's Zanpakutō, when in the shallow attack state, also consists of two swords. He usually has two swords tied around his waist, and when he is about to perform the [Shikai], he holds both shallow attacks in his hands!

Others probably thought that this was determined by Kyōraku's personal qualifications, but in fact, Kyōraku did only have one Zanpakutō at the beginning. Even if you are old enough, you will know that Kyōraku originally had only one sword after [Shikai], and later it became two!

Yilong could feel that the aura of one of the two swords was fundamentally different from that of an ordinary Zanpakuto.

If the Ise family could have noticed this, they would have probably guessed where the [Divine Sword: Eight Mirror Sword] had gone...

That’s right, before Ise Nanao’s mother passed away, she gave the [Divine Sword: Eight Mirror Sword] to Kyoraku Shunsui, the man she trusted the most!

According to clan rules, the [Divine Sword: Eight Mirror Sword] should be returned to the clan and given to Nanao when she reaches adulthood, but...

At that time, Nanao's mother suspected that the "curse" of the Ise family was brought by this broken sword, so she didn't want her daughter to be affected by the Eight Mirror Sword again.

Ichiryuu can basically confirm that Kyoraku's way of abiding by the agreement and preserving the [Divine Sword: Eight Mirror Sword] is to seal it in his own Zanpakuto!

That's why his Zanpakutō changed from one to two...

However, Kyoraku did not comment on Ichiryu's suggestion and just drank normally.

Even after Ichiryu left, Ise Nanao, who had no idea what the two talked about, came to complain to Kyoraku - why bother with that kind of person?

……

After visiting Kyoraku, Yilong became quite obedient. It seemed that he did not put up any fierce resistance to the addition of a deputy captain to his supervisory team, but just passively defended himself.

Seeing that Shihouin Ichiryu was so obedient, the several noble families headed by Tsunayashiro, including the Ise family, naturally restrained themselves a little... No wonder!

Before the fight even started, Yilong had already retreated a step. Of course they would be even more arrogant, fearing that Yilong had not retreated enough.

At this moment, a wise man in Room 46 suggested that they should take this opportunity to re-establish contact with the expeditionary force to prevent any accidents!

such as……

The expeditionary force can also monitor it!

As for the expeditionary force, most of the nobles of the Forty-Sixth Chamber were unwilling to mention it at all.

There are only two types of people in the expeditionary army...

One type was exiled because they committed crimes or lost power in aristocratic struggles. This type accounted for the majority. The other type was those who were frustrated and joined the expeditionary army to give it a try!

For example, Amagai Shusuke and Kibune Riki brought back by Amagai Shusuke, both belong to the latter.

Most of the expeditionary forces have lost contact with the Seireitei - this is also the norm for expeditionary forces, most of them have been completely wiped out by the Hollows...

Therefore, as for the expeditionary force, the nobles, on the one hand, were against these losers due to their status and did not want them to have any chance of coming back; on the other hand, they did not want the Shinigami to go deep into the Hueco Mundo to fight.

However, now because of Aizen's defection, and the fact that the Tsunayashiro and Ise families saw an opportunity to get rid of Shihouin Ichiryu, they pushed for it vigorously.

After the meeting, the old lady Ise Chisako complimented Tsunayashiro Murao: "You are worthy of being the judge Tsunayashiro. You sent the troublesome Shifengyuan away without making any noise!"

"Hmph, that's nothing..." Tsunayashiro Murao accepted the flattery calmly, but he was also wondering in his heart - it turned out that it wasn't the Ise family who was behind this? Then whose plan was it?

However, Tsunayashiro Murao would not show his weakness at this time. Instead, he warned: "It was not easy to suppress the people from Shifengyuan and Kasumigaoji family this time, but they can't be kept away for too long. During this time, Vice Captain Ise must seize the opportunity to gain a foothold in the inspection team!"

"Don't worry, Judge Tsunayashiro..."

The two old foxes thought they had succeeded.

Indeed, Shifengyuan Ichiryu's assignment came out that day, asking him to set off for Hueco Mundo within three days!

Before Shifengyuan Ichiryuu set out, an "unexpected case" occurred in the Soul Society...

The Kyōraku family has opened a new casino. Although Aizen's defection happened not long ago and was somewhat inappropriate, the Kyōraku family is still a great noble family and no one dares to criticize them. It is said that Kyōraku Shunsui, who had not been in contact with his family for a long time, went to play a few games that day and it was quite lively.

However, on the third day of opening, when the main family of the Kyoraku clan was not at home, a group of scoundrels came to the casino to cause trouble...

Why are there "hooligans" in Seireitei?

In fact, they are just Ise Shinkuro's lackeys. Since Yilong did not give them a regular position, their identity is "hooligan".

"Boss! I think there's something wrong with your dice!"

"Hey, old man, you dare to come to the gambling house? Isn't it time for the Feng family to chase you for debts?"

"Go away, go away, there's nothing to see!"

"Get out of the way! You're blinding my dog ​​eyes!"

109. Chapter 109: Shinjiulang’s Military Order

109.

2023-09-05

Let’s talk about Ise Shinkuro’s lackeys, who came into Kyoraku’s casino and started causing trouble.

They were quite sharp-eyed, and would not provoke those they could not afford to provoke. They would just find a reason to smash things in the gambling house, and would wantonly insult and provoke those customers who could afford to provoke them...

Even among the nobles, not every family was as wealthy and good at business as the Ōmaeda family. For example, the Kyōraku family needed the high-profit windfall from gambling houses.

"Why didn't you inform us in advance that you are here to play? The people below are ignorant. Please forgive me for my apology."

The abbot probably understood the identity of this group of people, and he came out to coax these ruffians, wanting to "maintain peace". After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current governor - Ise Shinkuro is the new official. Although the Kyōraku family also has a sage and the captain of the Gotei 13, they do not want to confront him head-on.

Moreover, for a noble family like the Kyōraku family, the person in charge of a small gambling house was naturally not a real member of the Kyōraku family. He was not even a branch of the family. He was just a servant who was given the surname Kyōraku.

In fact, the population of each noble family is not that large. After all, although the lifespan of spirits is long, their fertility rate is very limited.

"You are smart. Today, we brothers will give the Jingle family some face..."

These people also took the money and left, but I don’t know when they will come back. I’m afraid the Kyoraku family will have to talk to Ise Shinkuro about the details.

But when they reached the door, a man suddenly flashed out and bumped into the leader.

"Damn it! Who doesn't have eyes?" the leading hooligans said angrily.

The next moment, some onlookers and people in the gambling house saw a piece of Death Tyrant's clothes fluttering by, and at the same time heard...

"There is such a villain in the Soul Society. He deserves to be killed, he deserves to be killed!"

Immediately, a strange flash of knife light appeared, followed by a burst of screams and blood spurting out. Most of Ise's lackeys were hacked to death before they could even draw their swords, and the killer walked away...

The head of the Kyōraku family was also confused - at first he thought it was a big shot from the Gotei 13 who was "heroically doing something righteous", so why... he left?

However, his leaving was considered a "crime", especially the appearance of the sword just now... It was probably also related to "illegal Shikai" - usually in Soul Society, there were restrictions on the [Shikai] of "Zanpakuto".

So Kyōraku Bou-shu informed his clan members, reported it to his superiors, and also informed Kyōraku Shunsui.

Normally, Kyoraku Shunsui had little contact with the clan members and seemed to look down on them. However... because Kyoraku Shunsui came on the opening day, the abbot still notified him this time.

Soon, Kyoraku Shunsui... and the captain of the inner court team, Komamura, and Shifeng Ichiryu and Ise Shinkuro from the supervisory team, all arrived at the scene.

Such a brutal murder occurred in the Soul Society, especially the criminal escaped. This alarmed the Inner Court Team, also known as the 7th Division, which is responsible for the order of the Soul Society, as well as the supervisory troops.

Someone dares to kill people like this in Seireitei...

Not surprising!

However, those who usually take action have something to rely on and are fearless, so Komamura can only report it and dare not bite the enemy. Moreover, the result of reporting it is often like a drop in the ocean.

It is very rare to see a "murderer" like this who kills someone and then runs away!

At this time, all the witnesses in the gambling house looked at Komamura with some fear - since the Aizen Rebellion, Komamura no longer wore a hood, and directly exposed the head of the werewolf.

"You mean... we didn't see clearly who the attacker was, he was just wearing a Shinigami costume and had his Zanpakutō performed Shikai? What does Shikai Zanpakutō look like?" Komamura asked immediately.

"No, I didn't see it clearly, but... it seemed like a knife with eyes. He drew the knife and chopped it, and we didn't see it clearly, but it was obviously bigger than the average shallow strike." The abbot responded quickly.

"With so many of you here, is there no one who can see his face clearly?" Komamura frowned - judging from his reaction, it didn't seem like he was intentionally hiding something.

"Then it's even harder to see. That person... is wearing a hood, and looks very similar to what you, Captain Komamura, wore before." The owner said awkwardly.

Of course, they did not suspect Komamura. After all, given Komamura's figure, his identity could not be hidden by a hood, and Komamura had no reason to help the Kyoraku family.

"The murderer also smashed your gambling house?" Yilong looked around and then asked him for confirmation.

"To reply to Master Shifengyuan... That's not the case. I dare not say anything nonsense. These people who were killed, for some reason, came to my gambling house to cause trouble, and were killed by the murderer who was displeased with them."

When facing Shihouin Ichiryū, the abbot obviously had a much lower attitude - after all, one was the head of the Shihouin family, and the other was just... a werewolf who Captain-General Yamamoto picked up from somewhere!

"So, the one killed was a group of villains?" Yilong sneered and looked at Ise Shinkuro.
