The Soul King Is Human

I heard that in the past, the World of the Living was full of muddy roads and gray-tiled thatched houses, very similar to Rukongai).

But now, the roads are very clean, the goods are incredibly diverse, and the food is ever-changing—it's all much tastier than in Soul Society.

It seems that the matter that appeared in the World of the Living suddenly surpassed that of the Soul Society.

As the Seated Officer of the Thirteenth Division, she had long heard all sorts of complaints about the World of the Living.

They said the World of the Living was dirty and chaotic, Reishi was scarce, and people were starving every day, only able to eat Soul Society.

The places where Soul Burial are either stinking ditches or outhouses.

The situation is completely different now.

As Rukia pondered this, she suddenly realized something:

"Wait, what do you mean by 'using the rights of the Tokoyo Clan and the Kuchiki Clan '?"

"Byakuya might not agree."

As she spoke, her heart suddenly started racing.

What does "Misao" mean? Why are you dragging the Kuchiki Clan into opening a shop together?

Tokoyo Misao glanced at Rukia: "Among the great nobles, the wealthiest is the Shihoin Clan. The Ōmaeda Commercial Empire controls 40% of the wealth in the entire Soul Society."

Despite their prestigious title as the head of the nobility, the Kuchiki Clan was utterly incapable of making money, relying solely on their land for sustenance.

What did we eat when I visited your house last time?

Salted fish, miso soup, and white rice!

They don't have even a hint of aristocratic bearing, do they?

If even the most powerful nobles can't live a better life, then why take on so many responsibilities? Are they just bored?

As for why the Kuchiki Clan was involved...

Tokoyo Misao shook his head, sighed, and then said:

"Now I am the only heir of the Tokoyo Clan, although I am now the acting captain of the Tenth Division and have certain authority."

However, without resorting to violence, it's difficult to open up trade routes, but it's a different story if you team up with other powerful nobles.

"Is that so? Then I'll go back and discuss it with Byakuya- nii." After hearing this explanation, Rukia Kuchiki felt a little disappointed for some reason.

"Let's go, let's spend the rest of the time exploring the World of the Living, and we can also pick out some items."

One month later.

The captain's office of the Tenth Division of Soul Society.

"Brother Misao, isn't it a bit too arrogant of you to take all of Captain Shiba's things away right now?"

Tōshirō watched the team members coming and going, and spoke with a smirk.

In any case, Tokoyo Misao is currently only the acting captain.

Although he also knew from Misao's words that Captain Shiba wouldn't be back anytime soon.

But to empty the captain's room now is really not right.

"Wait, what's that space behind the counter?"

He watched as Tokoyo Misao pushed open the counter leaning against the wall, revealing the space inside, and then carried out more than a dozen large boxes.

The boxes were full of rings and various high-end fabrics, which could be worth a lot of money.

"Wait, wait! These are all Captain Shiba's inheritance, I have the right to a share too!" Rangiku Matsumoto rushed forward, grabbed one of the boxes, and wouldn't let go.

If she converted this box into cash, it would last her at least two months!

*Slap! Tokoyo Misao slapped Rangiku Matsumoto's hand away, lowered his head, and whispered:

"Do you know that the exchange rate between the ring and real money is 20:1? Now Captain Shiba has to live in the real world, has lost his source of income, and can only eat grass every day. I'm just helping him manage his assets."

"But..." Rangiku Matsumoto looked at the dozen or so large boxes with tears in her eyes.

She really hadn't expected that Captain Shiba would have so much savings.

"No buts, do you want Captain Shiba to die in this World of the Living, or starve to death?" Tokoyo Misao said with a serious expression.

Rangiku Matsumoto reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the box.

She knew better than anyone what it felt like to be hungry; it was incredibly uncomfortable.

Tokoyo Misao was somewhat surprised that he had received an advance of 20 million yen while at Urahara Shop.

He and Captain Shiba each received 10 million.

But now, these dozen or so boxes, when calculated, can actually be exchanged for 25 million in World of the Living money.

This was enough to provide the initial capital for a business empire.

After all, if you want Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the captain of the Twelfth Division, to do something, you can't do it without giving him some benefits.

"Alright, stop crying so much. I'm planning to open a shop in Junrinan. I hope the members of the Tenth Division will take good care of it, and I'll share some of the profits with the team."

"Open a shop?" Rangiku Matsumoto and Tōshirō were both stunned.

They never imagined that their captain would open a shop.

"That's right, it's about opening a shop. I'll take these things to Ōmaeda Commerce for processing first, and the team will be yours for now."

Once things are going smoothly, I'll give you both extra bonuses every month.

Tokoyo Misao and his team carried the boxes and left the Tenth Division.

He came from a pawnshop run by the Ōmaeda Clan.

Unexpectedly, they exchanged an extra million. It has to be said that the Ōmaeda Clan family is indeed very good at business.

We have the initial funding; now we need to get in touch with the nobles.

Tokoyo Misao planned to start with daily necessities, such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation, which would surely take away the business of many nobles.

As a high-ranking nobleman, he would certainly not lower himself to negotiate with lower-ranking or higher-ranking nobles.

I'll go to the Tsunayashiro Clan first. While we're discussing the cooperation, I'll also ask if they have any information about the Tokoyo Clan.

He returned to the center of the Noble Street, walked to the street outside the Tsunayashiro Clan mansion, and glanced around.

Those members of the Stealth Force were still scattered around the mansion.

After thinking for a moment, he opened Eternal Eyes and looked towards the Tsunayashiro residence.

Three very familiar Spirit Ribbon appeared before my eyes.

Are you kidding me?

When did Aizen start living at the Tsunayashiro Clan?

Chapter 95 The Soul King is Human

The main hall of Tsunayashiro's residence.

Aizen looked at the report in his hand, rested his right hand on his cheek, and tapped it lightly with his index finger.

The report above is about the Quincy human Masaki Kurosaki.

Her health seems to have improved.

Strangely, Isshin Shiba, the former captain of the Tenth Division of the Gotei 13, has turned into a human and completely lost his Soul Reaper powers.

"What do you think?" he asked softly.

Kaname Tōsen, who had been standing respectfully beside his seat, immediately bowed his head in response:

"Lord Aizen, judging from the data readings, Masaki Kurosaki's Reishi data contains the power of Hollows, Soul Reaper, and Quincy."

Therefore, it is likely that Isshin Shiba completely entrusted his Soul Reaper powers to her.

That's why I became human, but I didn't know that the Soul Reaper could give his power to others.

"It is true that Soul Reaper can bestow their power upon those who possess the aptitude to become Soul Reaper, although this is explicitly prohibited by the rules of Soul Society."

"However, it's rather unexpected that Isshin Shiba would become human."

Aizen softly, squinting at the words "Isshin Shiba" on the report.

Suddenly he felt a familiar force, the door opened, and someone walked in.

"Yes, Yin, prepare to welcome the guests."

He put down the report in his hand, crossed his fingers in front of him, and looked at the main hall's entrance with a gentle smile.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

Tokoyo Misao walked in, and the moment his foot stepped into the main hall, darkness enveloped the entire place.

He shrugged somewhat helplessly and looked at Kaname Tōsen, and said:

"The same move failed the first time, and you're still trying a second time."

"There hasn't been any progress at all during this time."

Kaname Tōsen gritted his teeth and lowered his body.

The next moment, his figure vanished from his original spot and reappeared behind Tokoyo Misao.

The Zanpakuto drew a jet-black blade of light.

Not only that, at the same time, he also opened his mouth and chanted:

"Hadō #54: Haien!"

Purple flames shot out from the back of his hand that held the Zanpakuto.

This is the result of his years of training; when using the Kidō, it is not necessary to pass the Reishi through the palm or fingertips.

He can even unleash the Kidō from the back of his hand while wielding his sword.

Such attacks are impossible to defend against.

He had used this technique to slay many Soul Reapers in the past.

Tokoyo Misao turned to the side, extended his right index finger, and struck Kaname Tōsen gripping the hilt of his sword.

When his index finger touched the purple flame, it was as if a gust of wind had been extinguished at its source, instantly dissipating.

The sword-wielding motion was also blocked by this index finger, preventing it from being swung down at all.

"How is that possible? A mere acting captain!"

Kaname Tōsen's face contorted, his mouth agape, as the Roar and pressed all his strength into that finger.

He was also Third-Class Spiritual Pressure, so there was no reason for him to be suppressed by a single finger.

He simply didn't notice that the tip of that finger was gathering powerful red and black Reishi.

He pressed all his strength into it, but instead felt an intense pain in the back of his hand, as if he were hitting steel nails with his flesh and blood.

However, he had no intention of backing down and continued to grit his teeth and increase his strength.

Tokoyo Misao remained silent, simply standing there with a smile, continuing to press his finger against the ground.

This calm and effortless demeanor once again sent a rush of blood to Kaname Tōsen's brain, causing him to lose his mind and become even more violent.

"Ugh!!"

He opened his mouth wide and roared, unleashing the Reishi from his entire body to form Reiatsu that surged towards Tokoyo Misao like a tidal wave.

Moreover, he pressed most of his strength down onto his fingers.

As a fellow Third-Class Spiritual Pressure, Kaname Tōsen to believe that all his Reiatsu wouldn't be able to break that finger!

As Kaname Tōsen's Reiatsu continued to rise, Tokoyo Misao's index finger was gradually enveloped in red and black Reishi, emitting a metallic light.

Beside Aizen, seated at the head of the main hall, Gin Ichimaru, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, turned his head slightly and said softly:

"Captain Aizen, do you need me to take action?"

"Yin, I told you last time, if you make a move, it will make people lose confidence."

"Failures and setbacks alone should not lead us astray."
