Death: So I am a Quincy

"I'm fine. I'm just here watching you guys do it. You want to ask Byakuya about his favorite flavor, right? I understand." Kurosaki Ichigo said and left.

Amemiya looked at the curry powder in front of him and said to Rukia: "Rukia, let's deal with the ingredients first and cook them first."

"Oh, that's true." Rukia turned around, picked up the ingredients, and poured them into the big pot. The pot was really big. I don't know why Rukia chose this.

"Wow, Rukia, this pot is too big. Are you going to cook it for all the patients in the Fourth Division?" asked Amemiya.

"No, besides big brother, I also want to give some to Captain Ukitake and you to try, so I need such a big pot." Rukia explained, but her spiritual power had not yet recovered, and she had a hard time even stirring it after pouring in all the ingredients.

Amemiya saw this scene, stepped forward and held Rukia's hand, and said helplessly: "Your body has not fully recovered yet, you can't do anything when you encounter this kind of physical work, let me help you."

Amemiya held Rukia's hand from behind and began to stir the food in the pot, but in this way, Amemiya seemed to be holding her in his arms, which made Rukia's face blush.

'This embrace, this breath...' The more Rukia thought about it, the redder her face became. The strength in her hands gradually faded, and she almost collapsed in Amemiya Toshi's arms.

Amemiya was at the back and couldn't see the expression on Rukia's face, but he noticed that her movements were getting lighter and lighter, and asked in confusion: "Rukia? What's wrong? Is it because your spiritual pressure hasn't recovered yet, so you are gradually losing strength?"

"That's not the case! I, I, I, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine soon!" Rukia said hurriedly, stirring the food more vigorously so that Amemiya was no longer confused.

After a while, the food in the pot was finally half cooked. Amemiya and Rukia stopped what they were doing and waited for Kurosaki Ichigo to come back and tell them Byakuya Kuchiki's preference.

"I'm back." Kurosaki Ichigo pushed open the door and said.

"How is Ichigo? Did you find out?"

"Of course." Kurosaki Ichigo said confidently, "Bai Ya actually likes spicy food. I heard from their chef."

"Eh? Big brother actually likes spicy food?! Then why do you usually eat mostly sweets..."

"Oh, I also asked about this matter." Kurosaki Ichigo said, "In fact, Byakuya specifically asked the chef to make more desserts. It is said that his wife likes desserts very much, and then he saw that you, Rukia, also like them, so the habit of making more desserts has been preserved."

"So this is the case..." Rukia murmured to herself. It turned out that her elder brother had done so many things for her when no one could see him.

Rukia felt that the gap caused by Byakuya Kuchiki's long-term indifference was gradually filled by this silent care.

"Then let's continue. I will make some spicy curry and deliver it to brother personally!" Rukia said energetically.

"No Rukia, you should do Captain Kuchiki's portion alone."

"Huh? Why?" Rukia was puzzled.

"Just to tell you, we can make a spicier curry rice for Captain Kuchiki. As for the others, just cook it normally. If you make the whole pot spicy, I think no one will be able to stand it. At least Captain Ukitake won't be able to stand it."

"But there is another question. As a patient, shouldn't you eat foods that are too spicy?" Yu Gongdu asked puzzledly.

"Ah, that's true. After all, my family runs a clinic, and patients are not suitable for eating such stimulating flavors."

"Patients? Stirring taste? Is there such a taboo? The Fourth Division never seemed to have mentioned this." Rukia asked in confusion.

"Ichigo, look, the souls of the gods of death are magical, right?" Amemiya sighed.

"Yes, isn't it?" Ichigo Kurosaki responded awkwardly. He didn't expect that the habits of souls were completely different from those of ordinary people.

The three of them started to get busy, and in the end, they finally made a whole pot of curry, including the spicy curry that belonged to Byakuya Kuchiki.

"How does it taste?" Rukia was looking forward to Ichigo Kurosaki's food tasting experience.

"Delicious! Better than any curry I've eaten in the real world!" exclaimed Ichigo Kurosaki.

"Really? Then try this spicy one."

Ichigo Kurosaki took a bite without hesitation, but the next moment he exploded.

"It's so spicy! Water, water!" He began to frantically look for water in the kitchen. After finding it, he took several gulps before he recovered.

Amemiya just smiled and said nothing. Are you kidding? With your level, I don’t believe you won’t be killed by this.

"Ichigo, how is it, how do you feel?" Rukia asked.

"Although it tastes good, I really can't stand the spiciness." Ichigo Kurosaki said with a bitter face.

"It's okay, Captain Kuchiki will probably like it." Amemiya said with a sly smile.

Rukia tried it herself and found that the non-spicy curry was indeed delicious, but the spicy one made her cough. Seeing this, Amemiya quickly handed her a cup of water.

"Brother, would you really like something this spicy..." Rukia said doubtfully.

"Don't worry, since the chef of the Kuchiki family said so, it can't be wrong. Okay, okay, let's quickly send it to Captain Kuchiki." Amemiya urged, unable to bear the urge to see the change in Kuchiki Byakuya's expression.

"Hmm... I understand. I'll go deliver it to big brother right now. But..." Rukia looked at the curry in the big pot, "It seems like there's too much? Besides Captain Ukitake and the others, there seems to be some left?"

"If you don't mind, leave it to me. I'll deliver some to Chad and the others, as well as Ikkaku and Kenpachi from the 11th Division." Ichigo Kurosaki said naturally.

"The 11th Division? Ichigo, when did you become so familiar with them?"

"Rukia, don't ask. Friendship between men comes very quickly." Amemiya urged Rukia to quickly send over the plate of spicy curry rice.

"I know, stop pushing me." Rukia said helplessly.

In Byakuya Kuchiki's ward, his injuries have improved a little and he can sit up by himself. At this moment, he is looking out the window, silent and no one knows what he is thinking.

At this time, a familiar voice was heard from outside the door, which made Kuchiki Byakuya very confused.

"What glowing food? What nonsense are you talking about?" Rukia said helplessly outside the door.

"Rukia, believe me, as long as you put a lid on it and point the Hadō Twenty-pointed Sphere at the plate the moment the lid is opened, the taste of the dish will rise to a whole new level!"

"Idiot, stop talking nonsense. I don't want to listen to you." Rukia opened the door and ignored Amemiya.

"Rukia? And, Amamiya?" Byakuya Kuchiki looked at the two of them in confusion, wondering why they came here at this time.

"Hello, Captain Kuchiki, we are here to bring you dinner." Amemiya greeted him in a familiar manner.

"Dinner? Isn't there always someone from the Fourth Division..."

"This time is different. This time, Rukia learned a brand new dish in the real world. She made it herself and wanted to give it to you to taste." Amamiya explained, "Hey, Rukia, why are you so timid again? Come on, don't you want to give it to your big brother to taste."

Rukia shyly handed the plate to Byakuya Kuchiki and said softly, "Brother, please enjoy it!"

Seeing that it was Rukia's intention, Kuchiki Byakuya took it without hesitation, scooped up a mouthful and put it into his mouth.

Amemiya was looking at Byakuya Kuchiki expectantly, hoping that he would distort his expression because of the spicy taste.

But unfortunately, after tasting it, Byakuya Kuchiki swallowed it without changing his expression.

"This dish..." Byakuya Kuchiki said intermittently, "I like it very much." After saying this, Byakuya Kuchiki smiled at Rukia for the first time in a long time.

It's not just because this was made by Rukia Kuchiki, but also because this dish really suits his taste, which makes Byakuya Kuchiki feel very comfortable.

"Great." Rukia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Rukia." Kuchiki Byakuya called Rukia's name softly.

"Yes! Big brother!" Rukia Kuchiki responded.

"How do you know I like spicy food?" Kuchiki Byakuya asked his doubts. Before eating it, he thought this dish was mostly sweet.

"Well, well." Rukia was a little embarrassed to speak, "Actually, everyone reminded me, and then Ichigo asked the chef of the Kuchiki family for me, and then I learned that you have always liked spicy food, big brother."

"Really..." Kuchiki Byakuya knew that what he had been hiding had been discovered by Rukia, but he didn't care. He was very pleased with his sister's current performance.

"Thank you, Rukia," he said softly.

When Rukia heard Byakuya Kuchiki's thanks, her eyes gradually brightened and she couldn't suppress her inner excitement.

Amemiya also gave up the idea of seeing Byakuya Kuchiki make a fool of himself, and just watched the brother and sister with a smile.

Chapter 94 The Truth about the Proxy Death God

"Hōgyoku actually? It ran into someone else's soul?!" Urahara Kisuke said in disbelief.

Shifengyuan Yoruichi on the video also scratched his head in annoyance and said helplessly: "That's what Amemiya said. He said he would check you next time he comes to the human world, but there is a condition."

"What conditions?" Urahara Kisuke asked solemnly.

"If Captain Yamamoto asks about the Hogyoku, I hope you can help keep it secret and say that I have already given it to you." said Shifengyuan Yoruichi.

"...Is that so? I understand. I'll promise him and hope he can come to the human world as soon as possible." Urahara Kisuke pondered for a while and agreed to this condition.

Since Amemiya dared to say so, it is possible that the Hogyoku is already in his body. Now, apart from Shifengyuan Yoruichi and Urahara Kisuke, no one else knows the location of the Hogyoku, so it will be more secretive to deal with it this way.

At present, it seems that whether the Hogyoku is in Amemiya's body or not, it is a relatively safe place in Soul Society.

However, Urahara Kisuke had heard from Shihouin Yoruichi that Aizen had found the method he had used to make the Hogyoku, and that he had now taken root in the Hueco Mundo. So even if he didn't need this Hogyoku, Aizen would sooner or later be able to make the complete Hogyoku.

'Time... Fortunately, the plan was successful and we have gained more time. The only hidden danger is Miss Inoue's ability...' Urahara Kisuke thought worriedly.

……

On the other side, Amemiya returned to the 13th Division and was stopped by Ukitake.

"Du, you've come at the right time. I have something very important to do. Please come with me." Fuzhu said solemnly.

"Captain Ukitake, what's the matter?" Amemiya asked in confusion.

"About Aizen's real purpose." Ukitake said slowly. "Aizen's purpose is definitely not as simple as making the Hogyoku to become stronger. In order to break through the limits of the God of Death, he must have something more important to do."

"So, we need to go to the Great Spiritual Art Corridor and search for any traces of Aizen."

"...I understand. Let's go now, Captain Ukitake." Amemiya also understood the importance of the matter and quickly agreed.

In the Central Forty-six Chambers, the original forty-six members had been slaughtered, and new members had not been re-elected so quickly, so anyone could enter the underground Great Spiritual Corridor as long as they got permission from the captain-in-chief.

"Found it." Fuzhu looked solemnly at the traces of research on the broken jade and the research materials it belonged to. Fuzhu took this record as the core and searched for the traces of research in recent times, but found nothing.

"Damn it... Didn't Aizen leave any traces here..." Ukitake gritted his teeth and frowned.

"Captain Ukitake, I found another search record." Amemiya said to Ukitake.

"Really! Du, where did you find it?" Ukitake asked in surprise.

"I used the execution date as the base date and looked forward. Fortunately, I found the record quickly." Amemiya of course knew what Aizen's purpose was, so he started searching from the date and found it immediately.

Amemiya handed the contents of the record to Ukitake. After seeing the records that Aizen had previously reviewed, Ukitake's face turned extremely pale.

"It's actually true... Aizen's purpose is really..." Ukitake once had doubts, because at the end, Aizen looked at him and mentioned the keyword "God".

And in Soul Society, there is only one person who can be called "God", and that is the Soul King.

"Wang Jian..." Yu Gongdu whispered the name.

"Yes, King Key. And what Aizen looked up was the King Key Creation Method..." Ukitake said uneasily.

"Du, you just took office as vice-captain, so you may not know this. The King, or the Soul King, is the supreme being in Soul Society. The King Key is the key to the Soul King's Palace. Aizen did not find the location of the King Key, but he discovered how to create it..."

"Captain Fuzhu, this King Key Creation Method..."

"Yes, the King Key is not so easy to create. It requires 100,000 souls and a heavy spiritual land with a radius of one soul. And now the heavy spiritual land..."

"It's Karakura Town." Amemiya added to Ukitake's words.

"Yes, our 13th Division has always been very concerned about the heavy spiritual land, so the officers we send each time are always the best in the team. However, Aizen has already set his eyes on this place, and I am afraid that our 13th Division alone is already unable to do what we want." Ukitake said solemnly.

"Come on, everyone. Let's go report this to the captain."

"No, there is one more thing I want to ask the captain." Amemiya called Ukitake and said that in the Great Spiritual Art Corridor, perhaps he could tell Ukitake the truth of the matter.

"What's the matter? Can't we just go outside and talk about it?" Fuzhu asked.

"It's about Ichigo Kurosaki. If my guess is correct, after Ichigo Kurosaki leaves Soul Society, he will be appointed as the acting Shinigami by Soul Society." Amemiya said directly.

"...Yes, if nothing unexpected happens." Ukitake said with a complicated expression.

"But the captain also knows the rules of acting as a death god."

"If it is discovered that a substitute Shinigami is thinking of betraying Soul Society, he will be eliminated immediately... This is the rule issued by the Central 46 after Ginjo Kūgo's betrayal." Until now, Ukitake still cannot understand why Ginjo Kūgo suddenly betrayed Soul Society.

"Captain Ukitake, don't you think that Ginjo Kūgo's betrayal was a bit strange?" Amemiya said.

"Du, are you trying to say that there is a mastermind behind this matter?" Ukitake understood what Amemiya Du meant.

"Now there are no strict restrictions in the Great Spiritual Art Corridor. As the initiator of the proxy Death God system, if we just use the information of the Great Spiritual Art Corridor a little and want to further improve the proxy Death God system, no one should say anything." Amemiya said with a smile.

Ukitake was also deep in thought at this moment. Although he was law-abiding, he was not blindly loyal. He also had his own considerations on some of the rules of Soul Society.

If Amemiya hadn't reminded him, the next treatment of Kurosaki Ichigo might have been the same as that of Ginjo Kūgo.

As for Ichigo Kurosaki, both Ukitake and Amemiya do not quite believe that Ichigo Kurosaki will betray Soul Society, but if Soul Society has already laid the groundwork for the proxy Shinigami system early on, then things are indeed hard to say.

"I understand. In order to further improve the system of substitute Shinigami, we must conduct a deeper investigation into the betrayal of previous substitute Shinigami." Ukitake pondered for a long time and agreed with Amamiya Toshi's point of view.

The two of them began to search for records of events related to the former proxy Shinigami system, hoping to find some clues, or at least prevent Ichigo Kurosaki, an innocent man, from being treated unfairly.

Finally, Fuzhu finally found the most critical event.

"How is it possible? It turns out that Ginjo's betrayal was..."
