The only player in the world of Bleach

Hearing these sounds, Matsushita Yusuke silently lowered his right hand and then raised his head.

"What's wrong with me?..."

The group exchanged glances, then began to report on a series of related matters.

Most of the reports concerned the Fourth Division's losses and summaries of casualties...

There's good news and bad news.

The good news is that although the damage is quite severe, in terms of scope and impact, nearly half of the functions of the Fourth Division are almost paralyzed.

Even now, if you were to look down from directly above Seireitei, you could see that the entire structure had been flattened, its outline gone, leaving only the terrifying traces of the earth.

and this.

This is exactly what Yusuke Matsushita and Soi Fon's offspring did...

After a slight emotional fluctuation, Matsushita Yusuke raised his hand and pressed his cheek, forcing himself to calm down.

Let's not think about too many things for now.

Let's summarize the bad news.

"This repair will almost certainly require our Eleventh Division to pay for it ourselves..."

There was no room for debate on this matter; the moment Matsushita Yusuke heard it, he nodded without hesitation.

no problem.

"This is something we should be doing... I can accept it."

It's just paying money, no big deal.

The problem lies in the various follow-up procedures.

Yusuke Matsushita sighed and shook his head, then nodded slightly to the soldiers and waved gently.

"That's all, you can go back now."

Several people looked at each other.

The captain's emotions were visibly off, but the other party's current attitude also clearly indicated a lack of desire to delve deeper into the discussion...

In the end, someone cautiously approached.

"Captain... are you worried about Lieutenant Soi Fon?"

Before Matsushita Yusuke could even respond, the other party had already taken it upon himself to add something.

"Regarding that... you can rest assured! Lieutenant Soi Fon is recovering very well, and we haven't bothered her with anything else. Given her physical condition, she should recover very quickly!"

That's completely irrelevant.

I appreciate it.

Matsushita Yusuke smiled and nodded, seemingly wanting to say something to calm him down, but after his gaze fell to one side, the light in his eyes changed slightly.

"Hmm, what you said has given me a bit of energy... Thank you. But you must be very tired today, right? Get some rest and don't push yourselves too hard."

Matsushita Yusuke's tact and diplomacy in dealing with people goes without saying.

The team members realized they couldn't help much, and in the end, they could only disperse with worried expressions.

however.

These departing figures seemed oblivious to the approaching figure.

Although the two sides were clearly moving towards each other, the members of the Eleventh Division seemed to sense something and subconsciously made a dodging motion.

They moved aside to make way for the middle position.

"...???"

What did I just do?

No, what's wrong?

"No...it's probably the wind."

Compared to the confusion of the other team members, the newcomer had a clear goal. After walking quickly, he finally stopped next to Matsushita Yusuke.

"Can I sit here?"

Yusuke Matsushita nodded slightly without looking up, and moved aside as well.

This behavior itself seemed to surprise the other party, but perhaps considering Matsushita Yusuke's current state of mind and situation, the other party's smile showed a hint of relief.

"Is there a need to be so tense, Matsushita-kun?"

Aizen Sousuke gladly took his seat.

Over the course of more than a century of their time together, he witnessed many of Matsushita Yusuke's emotional fluctuations and changes.

But not once...

That's enough to make him so 'distraught'.

They're even unwilling to say polite words... This is the literal meaning of confusion and helplessness.

Aizen, in particular, couldn't understand the reason behind it.

"I don't understand, Matsushita-kun."

He clasped his hands together in front of him, leaned forward slightly, and showed a puzzled expression.

Why do you feel so much pressure?

Nothing particularly worrying has happened.

Matsushita Yusuke silently raised his head; his face was pale, and his lips were equally bloodless.

He opened his mouth slightly with the movement of his breath and said in a solemn tone.

"strength……"

He murmured those two words as if he were chewing them up, then slowly spoke.

"The power within that child..."

Before he could finish speaking, Aizen interrupted him.

“Very strong, that’s truly amazing.”

There's no point in hiding or deliberately avoiding the issue. After all, as the first bystander who directly experienced it, Aizen Sousuke's experience and intuition are sufficient for him to make an intuitive judgment.

"Of course, the most important thing is the way this power is manifested... it's very complex."

He is describing.

At the same time, they are further refining their word choices and selecting the most suitable way to describe things.

Given the current situation, Aizen could sense that Matsushita Yusuke didn't have much 'patience' left.

"Yesterday's surge of spiritual energy was essentially a leakage of spiritual energy... In other words, the excess in the child's body needed to be expelled through this method."

To give an inappropriate example.

"Just like you can't expect a one-year-old not to wet the bed... that idea itself is unrealistic, right?"

Theoretically, there is no problem.

Yusuke Matsushita simply nodded slightly, his face pale.

Because the key issues are concentrated in the second half... in the words that Aizen didn't directly address.

—If it were only the power of the Grim Reaper, it would be far from enough to achieve that level.

"Her power was forced out... In other words, she also possesses other types of power within her."

This situation is not common, but it is by no means rare!

Because the power that Kurosaki Ichigo, who is currently active in the real world, possesses... is composed of this very form!

"Shinigami, Hollows, Quincy..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Aizen Sousuke added.

"Of course, I used some tricks during the test. Unless a strong person like Yamamoto personally experiences it, it would be difficult to detect anything unusual."

Upon hearing this, Matsushita Yusuke closed his eyes, raised his hand to gently press his forehead, pursed his lips, and nodded.

Thank you.

Three forces.

It's like they're attacking each other from opposite sides, creating a literal tug-of-war within their bodies.

It can be said that there is both good news and bad news at present.

The good news is that this power is ultimately the child's own, and judging from yesterday's situation, neither the one who gains the upper hand and causes spiritual pressure to overflow will put any burden on her.

However, the bad news is also quite simple and obvious...

That means that before she developed self-control, this girl was just an energy-overflowing individual who could walk.

Things like what happened yesterday will likely happen frequently in the future.

It is indeed very dangerous.

but……

There's no need for such a stern expression, is there?

After all, although it is strong, this kind of power without a master's consciousness is the type that is easiest to suppress.

To put it a little too harshly...

With proper preparations in place, even a newly promoted captain can alternate between rest and monitoring within 24 hours to complete the entire surveillance process.

Given Matsushita Yusuke's skill level, accomplishing this series of actions would be a piece of cake.

To be honest, Aizen couldn't figure out the reason for the other person's sorrow.

It can't be because you don't want to discipline them, right?

With a complex mix of thoughts, he glanced at the other person, only to see Matsushita Yusuke's still serious expression.

Realizing that the atmosphere hadn't changed, Aizen pondered for a moment and decided to change the subject.

It's not hard to see that the other party is refusing to communicate.

He spoke selectively.

"Matsushita-kun, if I may ask one more question... during the process of trying to conceive, you really didn't do anything underhanded, right?"

He had asked this question before, but his tone wasn't as subtle as it was now.

Because facts speak louder than words.

Two real Grim Reapers, one is the captain, and the other is the vice-captain.

Why can such offspring, which are a mixture of different types and possess various soul characteristics, be born?

This phenomenon was so counterintuitive that Aizen continued to press the matter... After all, in his view, this was the only possibility left.

But is that really the case?

Yusuke Matsushita put one hand to his forehead, revealing a rather pained expression.

As mentioned before, he would never use his own child as a test subject... and naturally, there was no room for him to do anything underhanded throughout the process.

But since it happened, it means there's only one possibility at this moment.

Natural inheritance...

'My Shinigami, Hollow, and Quincy attributes were all reflected in my body, which then formed a kind of genetic material that was passed on to the next generation…'

Although similar ideas had been considered before, there were no precedents or reference cases, so Matsushita Yusuke himself did not pay too much attention to them.

In retrospect, he had oversimplified things.

His offspring could inherit his talent in this area... but that's precisely why Aizen Sousuke found it strange.

"Why are you so anxious, Matsushita? Your child is strong enough, but surely no one would want to harm her, right?"

Aizen's tone had a deliberately relaxed feel to it.

“We haven’t even made a move yet… Besides, if it’s for the sake of this child, I can plan further ahead. It’s okay, time is on our side.”
