Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

"Ahem... ahem... of course it's Kurosaki Ichigo!" Ukitake said unhappily.

"Ah, that's right... I forgot that Ginjo Kūgo had rebelled." Yilong said calmly.

"Having the Death God's agent deal with the Soul Hunters? That's wise, Captain-General." Amebe complimented with a hint of meaning.

This is even more sarcastic - everyone knows that the captain-general is very averse to involving humans in the affairs of Soul Society.

Ichiryu was already surprised that Ukitake Jushiro was able to convince the captain-general to agree!

"What's the situation with the other Soul Hunters? And they are just substitute Shinigami? There won't be any Fullbringers and Quincy like those who came last time?" Yilong asked pretending to be confused.

Ukitake was very skeptical that Shihouin Ichiryu's doubts were all fake, but after a pause he said, "That's right, because they had fought with those rebellious Soul Hunters in the real world before, and...the way those Soul Hunters came to Soul Society is suspected to be related to the Quincies, so they can be considered related parties.

"As for the other Soul Hunters, they are Soul Hunters who have not participated in the rebellion before. They are also hostile to the Soul Hunters who were reported to have sucked the souls of living people before..."

Ukitake paused, coughed twice, and then said, "Also, if we can wipe out those rebellious Soul Hunters this time, I will apply to recruit other Soul Hunters as substitute Shinigami, so that they can...reside in Soul Society permanently!"

If the nobles had said this, Yilong would probably suspect that they were going to "score twice" and break the contract again, but since Ukitake said it... Yilong believed it, and he probably really sympathized with the Soul Hunter.

Although this kind of "sympathy" will not make him stand up and really break with the Soul Society, he will try to salvage some things within his ability.

Compared to a thousand years ago, the situation is fundamentally different - there are only a few Soul Hunters left now, and they are infertile. They are completely different from the "clan" of the past. Moreover, the nobles have basically been replaced. They should be able to be placed in the Gotei 13!

A new ethnic group whose birth process was somewhat "face-slapping" needed the consent of the nobles to live in Soul Society.

However, as long as a few "special ability users" are arranged to serve in the Gotei 13, it will be fine as long as the captain-general agrees and the nobles do not directly object.

Dongdong: There will be another update later this afternoon.

137. Chapter 137 Ukitake’s Invitation

137.

2023-09-12

In the real world, Ichigo Kurosaki was stunned when he saw a group of "Soul Hunters" being "driven" into the [Gate of the World" by Kurosaki Masaki. Not only were many injured, but one was even shot dead on the spot...

"Mom? Are you... a Quincy?" Ichigo was so shocked that the person on the other side ran away before he could fully react.

Not only is my mom a Quincy, but her strength...isn't any worse than those captains of the Gotei 13, right?

Of course, it was useless for Ichigo to react just now. After all, Masaki didn't leave him any gap to attack - he would be shot too if he went up!

"Could it be... Aunt Kurosaki, you said that you knew Ishida Ryugen because of my grandfather?" Yulong reacted at this time.

Not long ago, Uryu just found out that Ichigo's mother grew up with that guy, so he speculated that Aunt Kurosaki might also be Grandpa's disciple?

but……

If that's the case, why didn't grandpa mention it?

"Mr. Ishida... Actually, I haven't met him many times. But your grandma..." Upon hearing this, Masaki thought of Ryugen's parents and couldn't help but wrinkled her nose, but then she showed a nostalgic look.

The person she had more contact with was Uryu's grandmother - at that time, Masaki's parents had both passed away and she was adopted by the Ishida family. Uncle Ishida was basically not at home at that time, and no one knew what he was busy with. He only came back after Uryu was born.

Aunt Ishida is a very old-fashioned person. She initially adopted Masaki because she was a pureblood and wanted her to be Ryugen's wife. Naturally, she also brought out her "evil mother-in-law" attributes to the fullest. For Masaki, who has a lively personality, being scolded is a common occurrence.

Later, Masaki met "Lin", and after a series of love-hate entanglements, she left the Ishida family after graduating from high school...

Although Aunt Ishida was very indignant at the time that the "last female pure-blooded Quincy" did not marry her son and the pure-blooded bloodline would be extinct, but when it comes to "infuriating" methods, how could she be a match for Ichiryu?

In addition, Ryugen also respected Masaki's ideas and had a relationship with her maid, so the old lady could only feel helpless and furious.

Now that Masaki thinks about it, it can be considered a rare memory.

Seven years ago, Yulong's grandmother and mother had passed away one after another - Yilong had also investigated the matter at the time. After all, Masaki was also feeling a little uncomfortable at the time, but Ryugen certainly did not welcome his investigation. Old man Sogen had also concealed some things, and... after discovering some things, Yilong also sensed the danger.

It was at that moment that Yilong completely saw the "future" of Yhwach's return.

"Mom, doesn't a Quincy have to have Quincy bloodline?" Ichigo still didn't understand.

"That's right..." Kurosaki Masaki instantly came in front of Ichigo, looked at him seriously, and then suddenly said with a collapsed expression: "Your aptitude is too poor... I don't know what's going on. I am a pure-blooded Quincy after all, but I can give birth to a child without even a trace of Quincy blood. If you and your father were not so similar, I would have thought that I had the wrong child, hahaha..."

Masaki said, patting his shoulder half-mockingly, half-emotionally.

Ichigo: ...

puff-

Ichigo looked over following the sound, only to see Uryuu turning his head away, pretending it wasn't him.

Perhaps it was because he had the feeling of "winning against Ichigo" for the first time in a long time, even though he only won by "reincarnation".

Of course, even Masaki didn't realize that the Quincy power in Ichigo's body was not just a matter of how much...

"Mom! Woo——"

After they were safe, Youzi finally reacted and burst into tears. Masaki immediately returned to her daughter: "Be good, be good, it's okay, brother and his friends will laugh..."

When everyone saw this, they knew it was not the right time and stopped asking any more questions.

At this moment, there were a few flashes in the air from far to near, and then two figures, a man and a woman, one old and one young, came over.

It was Tamamo Su and Ziban, two soul hunters from the "Star Group".

Unlike Kariya's "wild soul hunters", the soul hunters of the "Star Group" have mastered some of the combat skills of "Fullbringers".

Because they are originally "replicas", they can also use many of the skills of the "Fullbringer". What they are using now is the "Fullbringer"'s high-speed movement method - the light of Fullbring, using "love" to make the "spirits" at the landing place push themselves to move at high speed.

Especially Tamamo Su...

It is still uncertain whether she should be considered a "Fullbringer" or a "Soul Hunter".

The nature of her power is almost that of a "Fullbringer", and she can use any Fullbring technique without any hindrance.

Although it is still necessary to absorb souls, if it is just to maintain strength and life, the frequency requirement is much lower than that of the ordinary "Soul Hunter".

"Sorry, we fell into a trap and just discovered this place... huh?" Tamamo Su said, and looked at Masaki as if she sensed something.

Masaki also looked at Tamamo Su at this time, frowned for a while, and then... her eyes became slightly more dangerous, and even a little provocative: "Isn't this the female president of Xingchen Group? I will take my daughter back first. If you need surgery in the future, you can come to me."

"Mom..." Ichigo didn't understand. What kind of way was this of greeting from his mother? Why did her EQ suddenly drop?

Is it because of jealousy of beautiful women?

impossible……

Ichigo felt that his mother wasn't that type of person.

At this time, Tamamosu looked at Ichigo and showed a look of "I see"...

"Ichigo's mother? Sorry for involving you." Tamamo Su seemed to have thought of something, and emphasized, "After all, it happened a thousand years ago, and it has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, the two of them just stared at each other.

Yuko seemed to sense that the atmosphere around them was about to become more tense than before, and pulled Masaki's clothes fearfully: "Mom..."

"Oh, okay, let's go home first... Ichigo, remember to come back for dinner. The food outside is not tasty. Inoue-san can come along!" Masaki said, smiling gently at Inoue, and then without caring about anyone else, she picked up Yuko and left.

"Huh? Oh!" Although Inoue was stunned for a moment, he immediately responded positively - after all, it was about eating!

After Kurosaki Masaki left, Ichigo was very confused, but seeing that his mother had no intention of interfering, he did not say much, but just said to Tamamo Su: "I'm sorry, because my sister was dragged into this, my mother is not in a good mood today. She is not like this usually..."

Afterwards, he returned to the Star Group with other companions and people from the Star Group to discuss follow-up matters.

After learning that Kariya Gami and the others had entered Soul Society because "someone accidentally transformed into the [Gate]", Tamamo Su looked thoughtful.

“Now that they’ve gone to Soul Society, the rest is about the Shinigami, right?” Old man Ziban said at this time - as an old retainer of Daihoshi, Ziban had no good feelings towards the Shinigami or the Seireitei.

"It's true that what happens in Soul Society has nothing to do with us, but... those guys like Kariya Gami are not unrelated to us." Tamamo Su emphasized.

Tamamo Su's attempt to force a connection made Ziban look at her with some confusion - Tamamo Su had noticed something about someone's plan, but Ziban didn't.

They both knew that "His Majesty" had successfully become an Arrancar and infiltrated the Shinigami, but Ziban had not seen His Majesty for a long time.

Ziban thought that Tamamo Su wanted to take the opportunity to go to the Soul Society to visit His Majesty, so he didn't say much at this time.

"I will not let that guy go!" Ichigo was even more active. He was still holding a grudge against Kariya God - after all, not long ago, he witnessed Kariya God killing hundreds of people for power.

Yulong held up his glasses and said, "I think I should put an end to the war between the Quincies and the Soul Hunters."

"Eh? But it seems you are not the last Quincy..." Ichigo said this without any hesitation.

Uryū: ...

"At least it's more important than yours!" Yulong said unhappily.

"I want to go too!" Inoue also raised his hand and said.

Although Chadu didn't say anything, his eyes said it all.

Ziban reminded, "However, Ichigo-san is a substitute god of death, but if the rest of us go to Soul Society without permission, we will be attacked by those god of death, right?"

At this moment, Ichigo's "Proxy Card" rang, and after it was connected, Ukitake's voice came from inside...

As soon as the alarm of the Ryoku's infiltration sounded, Ukitake contacted Ichigo - after all, he knew that the Ryoku were most likely Soul Hunters, and he also knew that Ichigo was fighting with them.

"Yes, it's Kariya and the others. Just now, a god of death named Ichinose opened the [Gate]..."

Ichigo explained the situation to Ukitake.

"I see... ahem, it's the power of the Quincy that transformed the [Gate of Realm]... ahem, Ishida, you've become stronger." Ukitake even praised Uryu - thinking that he had shot it by mistake.

Ishida Uryu: ...

Of course Ichigo didn't tell him about his mother honestly. After all, his mother didn't seem to want to care about it, otherwise she wouldn't have ignored him when he was fighting before, until today when they kidnapped Yuko without any eyes, and then came out to kill everyone.

Ukitake didn't dwell on this too much, thinking that the soul hunters and the god of death had deliberately misdirected Ishida Uryu's shot.

"Ichigo, this is not the duty of a deputy Shinigami... ahem."

"I……"

Ukitake didn't wait for Ichigo to interrupt him before continuing, "But I still hope that you can come to Soul Society for support. This is my personal request, not an order. If you agree, I will apply to the captain-general for the [Gate of Realm], ahem..."

"Of course! Even if you don't agree, I will go anyway!" said a nurse confidently.

"Thank you, do you want to... forget it." Fuzhu was about to ask something, but didn't say it.

"I want to go too." Yu Long said directly.

"Hmm? Sure... and everyone from the Star Group, I..."

Ziban interrupted Ukitake and said, "Oh? Seireitei still wants to win us over? Haha, I'm really old now, and I'm going to encounter all kinds of things."

“There’s no point in getting hung up on what was right and wrong about what happened back then… ahem… you guys are living in the real world, so there are a lot of inconveniences, right?

"I hope you can assist us this time and wipe out... or even persuade those other Soul Hunters. Ahem. Later, I will ask the captain-general to recruit you as special Shinigami and directly incorporate you into the Gotei 13." Ukitake said sincerely.

Ziban wanted to sarcastically say this, but Tamamo Su raised her hand to stop him and said, "Okay, we wanted to settle this with them. As for whether you will keep your promise, I don't have any special expectations, and I don't have any intention of becoming a Shinigami or staying in Soul Society."

"Thank you very much, ahem..." Ukitake still thanked sincerely.

Dongdong: The frequency of Fuzhu's coughing is basically the same as when I cough now, I will cough "cough cough" to him.

138. Chapter 138 Dad’s Work

138.

2023-09-13

Ichigo made an appointment with his companions and the people from the Star Corporation to go to Soul Society together, but...he still went home to have dinner first.

He originally wanted to ask everyone to come together, but Uryuu and Chad were embarrassed to come because of what Masaki said, so only Inoue went back with him.

At the dinner table, Masaki didn't mention anything, as if nothing had happened before. Ichigo didn't dare ask because Xia Li was present, and... Mom obviously didn't want to get involved in this matter, so there was no point in asking.

Yuzi was somewhat excited, but Xia Li, who didn't know the truth... kept looking at her brother and Inoue with scrutiny.

"Mom, I'm going out tonight...I won't be back for a few days. Can I ask for leave from school?" Ichigo asked his mother cautiously.

After all, Ichigo couldn't tell for sure what the Quincy mother would think about her son being a "Death God".

"Huh?" Xia Li made a shocked sound, staring at her brother and the female classmate he brought back in amazement - is it so direct?

"Okay, but I won't give you any amulet to ward off evil spirits this time." Masaki said while picking up some food.
