Memories Give People Form (Part Two, Continued)
They wore red pointed hats, but were otherwise dressed entirely in white.
"Master, what is this?" Orihime asked curiously.
"These things are invisible to humans; they must be spirits. But why is there no way to perform Soul Burial?"
And they don't have any aura of weakness on them, which is really strange.
Tokoyo Misao activated his Eternal Eyes; in his eyes, these strange souls were nothing more than aggregates of Reishi.
Even the Spirit Ribbon don't exist.
To draw a comparison, they are equivalent to the Kidō condensed from Reishi.
However, judging from their aimless wandering, they are not entirely like the Kidō, merely simple Reishi transformations.
This piqued Tokoyo Misao's curiosity.
It's like you're seeing an ordinary stone moving on the ground.
No matter which direction or angle you examine it from, the stone remains a stone, yet it appears to have moved, which defies common sense.
He searched his mind carefully, trying to find something that could match these descriptions.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" Ichigo yelled.
These red-hatted, white-bodied figures surged towards Ichigo, surrounding him completely and even trying to squeeze into his body.
However, at this moment, Ichigo used Tensa to create a space for himself.
He didn't attack these guys; he was just very annoyed.
These things, which were neither ethereal nor spiritual, left him unable to determine whether he should intervene.
Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew, and the maple leaves in the park fluttered and fell among the group of red-hatted, white-bodied spirits.
Meanwhile, Tokoyo Misao, who was originally trying to figure out what these things were, was in his mind.
Suddenly, a Spirit Ribbon appeared among the group.
But when he looked closely, he suddenly realized that this Spirit Ribbon was different from all the Soul Reaper, Quincy, humans, and even Hollows.
Although it also looks red, it is completely different from the Death's Spirit Network, which resembles a long cloth.
This spiritual network is made up of interwoven red threads, and at first glance it looks no different from the Death God's spiritual network.
Countless tiny red Spirit Ribbon combined?
Tokoyo Misao stared wide-eyed at him.
Another gust of wind blew, and red maple leaves were swept into the sky by this mini tornado.
A female Soul Reaper with a ponytail, dressed in Soul Reaper outfit, sprang out from inside and leaped into the air.
She stepped into the air, drew her Zanpakuto from her waist, and began to chant.
"Let us fall into the darkness of twilight."
"Mirokumaru."
Her Zanpakuto transformed into a golden staff, and she rode on a small whirlwind, with yellow maple leaves dancing in the air as she moved.
She held her scepter high, drawing the tornado to the top of the scepter.
As she moved her hand, she swept away all the white guys with red pointed hats from the ground.
Upon seeing the appearance of this Soul Reaper, Tokoyo Misao's mind flashed to one name: Senna.
I see.
Tokoyo Misao's furrowed brows relaxed as he understood the situation.
Although the tornado controlled by Senna had a considerable range, there were too many red-hatted, white-bodied creatures gathered below, and after a series of attacks, a large number of them remained.
Tokoyo Misao glanced at the center where the largest group of people had gathered, where a man dressed in armor stood.
The two locked eyes.
The next moment, the man waved his hand, and a fierce gust of wind swept through the entire park, causing the densely packed, strange spirits to disappear.
"What happened? They're all gone."
Orihime's eyes were a little hard to open because of the strong wind.
When he opened his eyes, he found that all those strange creatures had vanished.
Ichigo, too, kept scanning his surroundings, then suddenly pointed at a girl in a high school uniform and shouted, "Soul Reaper who suddenly appeared!"
Senna skipped over, stood in front of Orihime and Ichigo, bowed slightly, and said with a smile:
"You two are already Soul Reaper at such a young age?"
"Sister, may I ask which squad you belong to?" Orihime stared wide-eyed at Senna, looking her up and down, sensing that something was off.
Over the years, she has also encountered many Soul Reapers who have come to guard the World of the Living.
After all, Karakura Town is a very large city and a Jūreichi, with a Soul Reaper stationed every few blocks.
However, these Soul Reaper from Soul Society would definitely greet and bow to her master, Tokoyo Misao, immediately.
Instead of coming to talk to him like this female Soul Reaper in front of him.
"I don't remember the squad, which division was it?"
Senna rested her finger on her chin, gently shaking her head in thought.
The way she was thinking so intently made Orihime and Ichigo hold their breath and wait quietly.
But after a while, all that was seen was Senna scratching her head, laughing, and speaking again:
"I really don't remember."
"It's alright if you don't remember. Thank you for your help earlier. As a token of my gratitude, let me treat you to dinner."
Tokoyo Misao smiled and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Senna's eyes widened immediately, and she exclaimed happily, "Really? You really will treat me to dinner?"
"Of course, we'll have Chinese food today." Tokoyo Misao nodded with a smile.
"Yay! Chinese food!" Ichigo jumped up excitedly upon hearing this.
Tokoyo Misao led Senna back to the trading company, and on the way back, he had already called Kisuke Urahara.
When the door of the Chamber of Commerce was pushed open, Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Tsukabishi were already sitting quietly in the reception area.
"Captain, you've finally decided to come back." A voice that shouldn't have been heard rang out in the merchant guild.
Tokoyo Misao turned around. "Rangiku, how did you end up in the mortal World of the Living?"
"The Captain-Commander ordered me and Tōshirō to come to the World of the Living to guard it, and he brought us news." Rangiku shouted as she recounted the summary of the discussions at the Soul Society Captains' Meeting.
As she spoke, her gaze shifted down to Ichigo and Orihime's faces.
She stared at Orihime for Ichigo moment, then her gaze finally fell on Orihime. She immediately stepped forward, opened her arms, and embraced her.
Orihime was instantly enveloped by Rangiku, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Rangiku held Orihime tightly, tears welling in her eyes:
"You must be Orihime, right? Good girl, you can call me 'older sister' from now on."
She and Hitsugaya arrived at the World of the Living Chamber of Commerce. They were very curious about the apprentice their captain had taken on, so they asked the shop assistant about it.
Today's shop assistant happens to be Hachigen, and Rangiku and Tōshirō show no hostility towards this person on Soul Society's wanted list.
Since this is their own captain's trading company, and the other party is just a shop assistant, the relationship is self-evident.
They trusted their captain more than the wanted posters from Soul Society.
Hachigen recounted Orihime's situation in great detail.
Hearing about the other person's background and their strength touched Rangiku deeply.
"Let go of her right now! Can't you see that Orihime is almost suffocating?"
Hitsugaya stepped forward, pulled Rangiku's hand away, and freed Orihime. He patted her on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"I am Tōshirō Hitsugaya, the Boss Misao. You can also call me 'older brother'."
"Oh, oh." Orihime was still a little oxygen-deprived, but the sudden addition of an older brother and sister made her very happy, and she immediately smiled.
"Brother, sister."
She laughed and shouted.
Rangiku and Tōshirō both felt a warm feeling rise within them.
Tōshirō immediately reached into his sleeve and pulled out a plum rice ball, handing it over:
"This is a specialty of the Tenth Division, it's delicious!"
"What kind of gift is this for a rice ball? Come on, let's go shopping for clothes." Rangiku took Orihime's hand and prepared to take her shopping.
Ichigo watched with great envy, because he had two younger sisters but no older brothers or sisters.
However, after seeing how Rangiku and Tōshirō treated Orihime, he secretly made up his mind.
We must treat our two younger sisters even better and protect them well.
"Wait a moment, eat first."
Seeing that they were about to leave, Tokoyo Misao quickly spoke up, beckoning Kisuke Urahara and the others to go to the cafeteria.
The round table was already set with food prepared in advance by the chefs of the Chinese restaurants in the commercial street; the table was laden with a dazzling array of dishes.
Let's have dinner together.
Everyone sat down, and Rangiku and Tōshirō simultaneously stuck their chopsticks into the chicken leg.
The two locked eyes, and the next moment, Tōshirō suddenly opened his mouth and blew a breath toward Rangiku.
A chilling aura brushed against her face, causing her to involuntarily put down her chopsticks.
At that moment, Tōshirō immediately picked up the chicken leg and put it into Orihime's bowl.
"Eat chicken drumsticks."
Orihime looked at the chicken leg in the bowl, picked it up with her chopsticks, and put it into Tokoyo Misao's bowl.
"Master, have a chicken leg."
Tokoyo Misao the disciples who care about their master the most."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Senna beside him and said, "Eat as much as you like, don't be shy."
"Okay, then I'll start eating." Senna immediately picked up her bowl and chopsticks and began to eat voraciously, looking like she hadn't eaten in a long time.
Misao continued to call out to the crowd:
"Let's eat and chat. Tell me about Soul Society, and is there anything else going on?"
Tōshirō's gaze was still fixed on Orihime as he served her food, saying:
"At 12:50 this morning, a real city suddenly appeared in the sky Seireitei, this very city."
"At the same moment, the Communications Research Institute detected the inflow of Rinki into the World of the Living."
"One minute later, communication between the two parties was lost."
Ichigo immediately turned his head to look at Tokoyo Misao.
His little face was filled with confusion; he couldn't understand what Tōshirō had just said at all.
Tokoyo Misao explained with a smile, "There is a subspace called the Dangai that separates World of the Living Soul Society. In other words, a new space has appeared within the Dangai."
The special space continues to expand, touching the edges of both worlds, creating the effect that World of the Living cities can be seen from within Soul Society.
"The investigation into the newly emerged space at the Dangai has failed, and communication is now completely cut off."
Therefore, Captain-Commander Yamamoto dispatched me to assist the Captain in investigating the spirit waves that have entered reality.
After Tōshirō saw Orihime all the food he had picked up into her mouth and eat it, Toshiro saw Orihime eat it all.
Even her usually stern face couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile.
"Tōshirō, you brat! I'm the vice-captain!" Rangiku shouted.
Kisuke Urahara put down his chopsticks and said, "I've already seen the video that Boss Misao sent."
