The only player in the world of Bleach

"I was somewhat worried at first, but after talking to you a few years ago, I'm now completely uninhibited... My Hogyoku has long since reached a mature stage."

conversation.

This is also an unavoidable step.

To ensure the plot could progress, Yusuke Matsushita traveled extensively over the years, trying to connect key figures and their tasks.

Kisuke Urahara was naturally among them.

Of course... during the inevitable conversation, the matter of being framed back then was brought up to some extent.

This is an unavoidable topic, and it can also be considered a mistake by a shrewd and calculating person.

It would be a lie to say that Kisuke Urahara didn't care at all.

The whole affair was complicated and difficult to explain, so Yusuke Matsushita readily explained the situation and apologized to the other party.

Yoruichi was also present at the time.

For the former head of Shihōin, it would be too 'compassionate' to let it go so easily just because of a few words.

Yoruichi was extremely agitated, and at one point even showed signs of wanting to take action.

But Kisuke Urahara stopped them all.

He seemed to understand the current situation better and ultimately offered full understanding and care.

"Since all of this is for the stability of the Three Realms, it's not unacceptable to suffer a little loss... Besides, things have come to this point, there's no point in complaining anymore."

Even now, some things still evoke a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion/reflection).

The other party's magnanimity is truly admirable.

Unfortunately, Aizen still seemed unwilling to meet with the other party... The entanglement here cannot be summarized in a few words, so Matsushita Yusuke eventually gave up his plan to play matchmaker.

Even if we never see each other again, it would still be better than this awkward situation.

Kisuke Urahara pushed the teacup forward and said with a smile.

"Since we're just killing time anyway, Captain Matsushita, why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

The atmosphere between the two sides was quite harmonious, but this was also a reasonable outcome.

After all, there wasn't any irreconcilable conflict between the two, and Kisuke Urahara was a very calm and thoughtful person.

Even without Matsushita Yusuke giving much advice, he could learn about the Soul King through his intelligence network.

This is also the source of Matsushita Yusuke's admiration for the other party.

Even though I'm currently living a secluded life in Karakura Town, far from the political center, I still somehow manage to gather all sorts of strange intelligence...

It must be said that this is also a manifestation of ability.

With a sigh, Matsushita Yusuke composed himself slightly. He was about to say something more polite, but the other party had already asked a question first.

"Oh, right, since we have nothing else to discuss, I have something I must ask... Captain Matsushita, it concerns your daughter..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Even at the very end, Kisuke Urahara covered his mouth with a paper fan and spoke in a slightly upturned tone.

Why did you send her to this world?

The answer to this question is quite simple.

"Someone with her aptitude shouldn't need any training, right?"

Normally, Kisuke Urahara would never have uttered such irresponsible words. But this time, perhaps he himself was intrigued, his tone was subtle, and his actions were equally flamboyant.

"After all, she is the child who was once noticed by the Spirit King. Even if she is simply left to grow up alone, she will definitely be better than most people... no."

After a brief moment of consideration, Kisuke Urahara spoke slowly.

"He could search the entire Three Realms and was probably only weaker than a few people."

To an ordinary person, this statement might sound like a joke.

But to the two of them at that moment, it seemed to be a very serious matter.

"Um……"

Yusuke Matsushita took a small sip of tea, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"My daughters are actually quite unruly..."

"Haha, kids are all like that."

“She used to be able to keep up with them, but now none of the others on the team are a match for her.”

"I remember it should be Zaraki, and Gin Ichimaru's group?"

"Yes... a while ago he even went to other squads and insisted on asking them for advice. As a result, he caused chaos in the Seventh Squad."

"This is actually still..."

"Then, a while ago, he barged into the technology development bureau, insisting that they research some kind of cultivation aid, something that could help people become stronger quickly. He threatened to crush Mayuri Kurotsuchi's sword if they didn't succeed."

Yusuke Matsushita looked melancholy.

“I apologized to people for a long time that day… that girl smashed several of the instruments in the Technology Development Bureau.”

Kisuke Urahara gave a dry laugh.

This matter really can't be ignored...

"Have you ever thought about sending her to the Spirit King's Palace?"

If this had been asked ten years ago, Matsushita Yusuke might have reacted instinctively and refused without a second thought.

But things are different now than they used to be.

With a bitter expression on his face, Matsushita Yusuke looked up and sighed deeply, speaking in an extremely helpless tone.

"It was sent up before... but it was returned in just three days."

He raised his right hand and began to count on his fingers.

"She cut several of Shutara Senjumaru's clothes to shreds, punctured the hot spring pool at Kirinji Temple, and also smashed Oue's felt platform... Hikifune Kiryu, who escorted her down that day, didn't look too good either."

The reason is simple.

"This girl almost let the chickens that someone had carefully raised escape from their coop."

Kisuke Urahara had never raised a child, so he couldn't empathize with the situation.

But that didn't stop him from expressing his feelings.

"Isn't your child a little too naughty?"

“I also want to discipline them, but the effect is minimal…”

Yusuke Matsushita shook his head helplessly.

In fact, there is no one in Soul Society who would particularly pamper her—even Aizen Sousuke, who is her closest friend and with whom she often visits, would not make concessions on certain matters.

After all, cultivating correct values ​​and beliefs is very important. Those people in the Gotei 13 who occasionally come into contact with the girl are all helping Matsushita Yusuke complete this kind of education to varying degrees.

In fact, compared to others, the one who was least steadfast in this regard was Captain-Commander Yamamoto. Every time the old man took her there, he'd go shopping and buy her some good food…

Soi Fon is actually quite strict in this regard. Unless they do something commendable, they basically won't accept snacks or anything like that.

But Yamamoto does whatever makes him happy... In a sense, he's no different from an old man without principles.

Yusuke Matsushita has said this several times, but the old man doesn't seem to have any intention of changing it.

Over time, Chojiro Sasakichi has developed a slightly embarrassed expression whenever he sees the couple.

After all, I was quite nervous.

Of course, despite the various mishaps, overall... Matsushita Yusuke was very grateful for everyone's help in this regard.

But as it turns out...

"That girl's nature is a bit...too mischievous."

Yusuke Matsushita said this with a sense of helplessness; to be honest, she originally wanted to use something like "mischievous" to describe it.

But thinking about it carefully, the girl really didn't do anything too outrageous.

Matsushita Hikari was, in a sense, a very intelligent child...

"That girl is actually very shrewd. She knows what she can do without getting chased and scolded by Soi Fon and me, but she's basically capable of doing all sorts of evil things."

With a sigh, Matsushita Yusuke smoothly steered the conversation back to the present moment.

"So this matter is actually a real headache for me... The reason we're arranging for her to come to the real world now is so that she can broaden her horizons."

Because, to be honest...

"At this stage, Ichigo is probably the only one who can rival her."

"Oh~ the eldest son of the Kurosaki family."

Kisuke Urahara chuckled, giving him an "I see" look.

"In terms of talent alone, the two are indeed quite similar in some respects... So, does Captain Matsushita intend to let the two of them get to know each other a little?"

After a moment's thought, Matsushita Yusuke crossed his arms and nodded slightly.

"I do have that idea in mind, and I also want to make Ichigo's power awakening process as controllable as possible..."

"Hehe, I understand what you mean."

Kisuke Urahara was also a member who was highly involved in the Soul King Project.

Therefore, when facing him, even without explicitly stating things, he can make specific judgments based on similar snippets of information.

All I can say is that talking to smart people is effortless.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Manager Urahara."

322: Visit

"In that case, when I take care of the Kurosaki family boy, I will also take care of your young lady."

Thank you for your understanding.

"Haha, you're welcome, you're welcome~ It's just that your family's power development is already quite advanced, to be honest... with my current level, I probably wouldn't be able to offer much help..."

"That's not true."

Yusuke Matsushita has a lot to say on this point.

"That girl has basically just been acting recklessly by relying on her talent... She doesn't even need to take a serious attitude towards opponents of other levels to handle them."

Upon hearing this, Kisuke Urahara's smile carried a hint of helplessness.

"But there aren't many opponents like your young lady who she needs to take seriously..."

Yusuke Matsushita fell silent for a moment, which was uncommon.

The combination of the three powers gives it a talent that is among the best in the Three Realms.

But this is absolutely not a reason to be 'invincible'.

After all, the development and understanding of abilities are different. Even Aizen, who is a fusion of Shinigami and Hollow powers in a simple sense, has a considerable effect in terms of results.

It should be noted that even Yhwach, in his Three-Eyed state, was still affected by Aizen's genjutsu.

This is enough to show that skills themselves have the value of being honed and studied in depth.

When Matsushita Yusuke said those words, he was essentially explaining to Urahara Kisuke not to feel unnecessary pressure... At the same time, he was also explaining to himself.

Having a good foundation is actually the reason to keep working hard.

After a brief moment of thought, Kisuke Urahara was about to say something more when the door behind him was kicked open.

Yoruichi, now in her black cat form, leaped in from outside and tossed what she was holding in her mouth onto the table.

"Meow~"

"Oh, thank you for your hard work. Come on, Miss Yoruichi, do you want me to scratch your itch?"

—These two were somewhat restrained in Soul Society, but now that they're in the Human World, they seem to be going all out...

After making a tactical lean back motion, Matsushita Yusuke casually shifted his gaze to the side.
