Let's Have a Baby Together
The power of the Soul King's arm, which supports the Three Worlds and surges from Jūshirō Ukitake's body, also flows towards this place.
It wrapped around the coffin, forming an additional layer of seal.
Yhwach King of the Quincy, thus became a new wedge for stability in the Three Worlds.
"I really didn't expect this incident to be resolved so smoothly." Kisuke Urahara breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and said with a smile.
"Oh, right, I forgot to congratulate you, Captain Tokoyo. Have you decided on a name for the baby?"
"Yes, congratulations Captain Tokoyo! We were all shocked when we found out," said Tessai Tsukabishi.
"Wait," Tokoyo Misao immediately turned to look at them, "You mean you are?"
"Everyone in Soul Society."
Chapter 207 Let's have a baby together
On the way to the First Division meeting room.
"Captain Tokoyo, congratulations! I never expected you to be paired with Captain Unohana."
As Shunsui Kyōraku spoke, he reached up and touched his chin.
"So that senior colleague likes such a young junior? Now you should at least treat me to a drink, right?"
Suddenly, a chill ran up his tailbone.
He immediately shut his mouth and quickened his pace forward without looking back.
Soi Fon approached Tokoyo Misao, glanced at him sideways, and said with a smirk, "Congratulations."
Her words were spoken clearly and deliberately, with pauses and inflections.
"Speaking of which, a few months ago, the Kuchiki Clan went to the Shihoin Clan to discuss borrowing some Heavenly Bestowed Armaments to decorate the wedding venue. I wonder if we'll still need it."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to be in a particularly good mood and quickened her pace as she walked away.
A handsome figure swept past Tokoyo Misao. Even with bandages on his body, Byakuya Kuchiki maintained his aristocratic demeanor.
He said coldly, "The eldest son must be Rukia's child."
For noble families like theirs, illegitimate children were a perfectly normal thing.
However, the mother of the illegitimate child that Tokoyo Misao conceived this time is also somewhat special.
Captain Unohana is more than just a captain; her age already signifies her seniority.
But as Rukia's brother, Byakuya Kuchiki still had to make his stance clear.
In any case, the eldest son must be Rukia's child.
Before Tokoyo Misao could respond, he also quickened his pace and entered the conference room.
Congratulations kept ringing in Tokoyo Misao's ears.
The team leaders, perhaps out of genuine interest or simply to watch the spectacle, deliberately shouted very loudly.
Tokoyo Misao simply stood still, waiting for those guys to go in first.
Tap tap, two footsteps sounded.
Tokoyo Misao turned his head and said with some helplessness, "These people are really meddling."
Unohana hair tied in braids, looked up with a gentle smile and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll raise the child."
Tokoyo Misao's brow twitched. "What are you talking about?"
He resumed his steps and continued, "Which name do you think is better, 'Tokoyo Morishizu' or 'Tokoyo Morikazu'?"
Seeing that Tokoyo Misao didn't seem to want to run away, Unohana's smile became even brighter, "I think calling you Unohana Morikazu would be fine too."
"Stop joking, the child is going to inherit my family business in the future." Tokoyo Misao's tone was completely calm and firm.
Even in recent years, thanks to Tokoyo Misao's opening of shops, Soul Society has gradually become more integrated with the World of the Living.
However, in reality, the rules and regulations in Seireitei remain very rigid, especially among the nobility.
As the head of the prestigious Tokoyo Clan family, it was perfectly normal for Tokoyo Misao to have his children inherit the family business.
The problem now is that the child in Unohana's belly is an illegitimate child, and even if she acknowledges it, it can only be considered a son born out of wedlock.
Because from beginning to Unohana had no intention of becoming Lady Tokoyo.
Therefore, in terms of legal status, her child could never be a legitimate heir.
After Tokoyo Misao marries, no matter who he marries, the children born to him will be the legitimate heirs and the true successors of the Tokoyo Clan business.
But at this moment, Tokoyo Misao had made a promise to Unohana.
Even if Unohana doesn't want to become Tokoyo, it doesn't matter; her child will still receive the treatment of a legitimate son and inherit the family business.
Although Unohana was secretly pleased, she still asked, "I'm afraid the Kuchiki Clan won't be too happy about this, will they?"
Tokoyo Misao smiled and said, "It's time for both the Seireitei and the Soul Society to make changes, isn't it?"
Unohana nodded without saying a word, and entered the conference room side by side with Tokoyo Misao.
The team leaders were not all present at this meeting.
First, Captain-Commander Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, Captain of the Thirteenth Division, Jūshirō Ukitake, has also perished.
Captain of the Seventh Division Sajin Komamura was still lying in the Fourth Division with serious injuries, leaving only ten captains on the scene.
After Tokoyo Misao and Unohana joined the ranks, the scene fell silent.
In the past, the meeting topics would always be proposed by the First Division Vice-Captain Chōjirō Sasakibe, or the meeting would be chaired by Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
But now that Captain Yamamoto has been lost, it seems the meeting room has also lost its backbone.
A silent and oppressive atmosphere gradually spread.
Tokoyo Misao sighed and said, "The most difficult part of war is always the cleanup. We still have a lot to do."
Whether it's selecting the Captain-Commander, reforming the Soul King Palace, managing the Central 46 Chambers and matters concerning the nobility, or treating the wounded, maintaining balance in the Three Worlds, or conducting Division Funeral Ceremony for the deceased captains and Arrancar corpses, etc.
Therefore, I propose that Shunsui Kyōraku be appointed as the Captain-Commander.
As he spoke, he raised his hand to indicate that he was voting.
Shunsui Kyōraku quickly said, "Captain Tokoyo, I think you are more suitable to be the Captain-Commander than I am." His eyes were very sincere.
Actually, among the current captains, the one with the deepest and most extensive relationships with all the captains is Tokoyo Misao.
He was one of the great noble families of the Tokoyo, and also the greatest contributor to this crisis in the Three Worlds.
Among the captains, the Fifth Division Captain, Shinji Hirako, had received a favor from him, and it wouldn't be long before Captain Kuchiki and Captain Tokoyo became family.
Captain Unohana is pregnant with his child, Captain of the Ninth Division is his subordinate.
If the Gotei 13 is to continue to function stably, Tokoyo Misao is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
"I'm busy and not interested. Don't overthink it, Captain Kyōraku."
This isn't a strategic retreat or a test; I genuinely just don't want to be the Captain-Commander —it's too much trouble.
"And as Captain-Commander Yamamoto's disciple, you should stand up now even more." Tokoyo Misao's tone was sincere.
Even during his time as captain of the Tenth Division, he trained Tōshirō to help with team affairs.
Even Rangiku Matsumoto, the vice-captain, handled more tasks than him.
He didn't want to spend all his time dealing with trivial matters.
Instead of wasting this time, you should spend more time with your future children, even if it's just taking them to play by the river.
Captain Unohana was the second to raise her hand and cast her vote in favor. "I also think that Captain Kyōraku is perfectly capable of being the Captain-Commander."
Then, Captains Tōshirō, Byakuya Kuchiki, Shinji Hirako, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, and others raised their hands in agreement.
At this point, Shunsui Kyōraku realized that continuing to refuse was impossible.
He reached out and took off his straw hat, walked to the front and stood still. He first looked up at the roof beam, seemingly preparing himself mentally, then turned around to face all the captains and said:
"Then I'll take over as the Captain-Commander and preside over the affairs. First, we need to deal with the matter of the Royal Guard Squad Zero."
As he spoke, he looked towards the door, which creaked open, and four members of the Squad Zero walked in.
"Oh dear, you all look so grim. Smile! This is a great victory for Soul Society." Ōetsu Nimaiya seemed to be trying to lighten the mood.
Shunsui Kyōraku spoke very seriously, "Fellow Royal Guard, the key to stabilizing the Three Worlds Realms is no longer the Soul King."
According to the Shinigami Research and Development Institute's investigation, the current wedge cannot withstand the endless extraction of power from the Riden, so the Gotei 13 will later remove the seed from the Riden.
Shunsui Kyōraku had discussed this matter with Tokoyo Misao and Mayuri Kurotsuchi before the meeting.
Of course, it was Tokoyo Misao who proposed eradicating the seeds of the Riden.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi also dislikes the existence of so-called immortal beings, so of course he would support it.
The same applies to Shunsui Kyōraku.
He continued, "You can continue to retain the treatment and rights of Royal Guard."
The condition now being proposed is tantamount to bringing the members of the Squad Zero of Royal Guard, who could have existed forever and were immortal, back into the human world.
They all have lifespans; perhaps they can live for hundreds of years, perhaps even a thousand.
But it's not the same concept as the previous infinity.
The four exchanged glances, and finally Ōetsu Nimaiya spoke up, "Haha, it's alright, but it would be better if we just lived in the Riden. After all, we've been up there for so many years and are already used to it."
"Regarding this, we plan to completely seal off the Soul King Palace afterward, so if you choose to stay up there, you may never be able to come down again," Shunsui Kyōraku said solemnly.
"This is bad, very bad." Ōetsu Nimaiya frowned.
Although he was very satisfied with his Riden and had long considered it his home.
But if you can't get down to Soul Society, you won't be able to experience anything new.
He's having a great time in the business world these past few days.
Seeing his expression, Shunsui Kyōraku immediately stated his conditions. "We can build the Royal Guard Forces barracks on the vacant land in the Noble Street; it's essentially just moving the Riden down here."
"Alright, let's do it that way. By the way, we don't plan to participate in managing Soul Society or the Captains' Meeting."
"We Royal Guard have only one duty: if the enemy attacks the Soul King Palace, we are the last line of defense." After saying this, Ōetsu Nimaiya turned around, waved, and left.
The other three members also left.
Phew, Shunsui Kyōraku breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good start to settle the four Royal Guard so smoothly without any setbacks.
The discussion then continued with how the Shinigami Research and Development Institute would completely seal the Soul King Palace, various institutional reforms in the Soul Society, and most importantly, the balance of the Three Worlds.
"Captain Kurotsuchi, according to your calculations, do we need to make any special sacrifices this time?" Shunsui Kyōraku asked with some worry.
After all, quite a few Arrancars died this time, and their bodies are still in the First Division's backyard.
"No need. Although there's a gap, it's not at the point where we need to intervene, but that's assuming those captured Arrancar don't die." Mayuri Kurotsuchi shook his head.
This time, quite a few Soul Reaper members and captains have died, and when you include the human Quincy, the Three Worlds are in a strange balance.
However, several Arrancars have now become prisoners of Soul Society.
If they were to be disposed of, hundreds of thousands of wandering souls would have to be sacrificed for each of them in order to achieve balance.
It could be one captain, or several vice-captains.
Shunsui Kyōraku scanned the room sternly and asked, "Does anyone object to returning those Arrancars to Hueco Mundo?"
The captain present was well aware of the consequences of killing these Arrancar, so naturally he wouldn't object.
Soul Reaper is the balancer of the Three Worlds, not an invader or destroyer.
Shunsui Kyōraku immediately ordered, "Release the Arrancar Starrk, Tier Harribel, Ulquiorra, Nelliel, and Grimmjow back to Hueco Mundo."
Five Espada died during their visit to Soul Society, a devastating loss.
However, on the Soul Reaper side, including Kaname Tōsen who was killed by Haschwalth and Gin Ichimaru who could not be saved, four Captain-level Shinigami and a considerable number of ordinary Soul Reaper also died.
"Will they behave themselves after they go back?" Hirako asked with a smirk. "Won't they be plotting to rescue Aizen or something?"
Aizen is currently imprisoned in Muken and has not yet been tried.
We have to wait until the new Central 46 Chambers is assembled before we can pull him out of the Muken for trial.
All members of the Visored, including Hirako, are awaiting this trial.
