Three Years Later
Almost everyone believed that a war within Soul Society was inevitable, but the relationship between the Central 46 and the Thirteenth Division was like two people dancing on the edge of a knife.
Although every step was fraught with danger, a delicate balance was reached between the two sides in this eerie atmosphere.
Over the course of three years, the Thirteenth Division refused to accept the judgments of Soul Reaper Central 46 on several occasions, while the Central 46 also bypassed the Thirteenth Division to release guilty nobles.
Even so, it ultimately did not cause any irreversible damage.
Three years later, in the Noble Sixth District.
"Soi Fon, how's the sushi at this restaurant?"
In the Sixth District, Soi Fon and Dōsan sat facing each other, enjoying a delicious meal at an upscale sushi restaurant.
Soi Fon lowered her head, her lips parted slightly, then she lowered her head again, her expression unreadable. "It's not as good as what you make."
The Shin'ō Noble Guard has a lot of tasks assigned to them, but generally speaking, as the captain, Dōsan Hanyū's main personal task is to ensure the safety of the Sages of the Central 46 and maintain discipline at the Central 46 trial.
Actually, his job is very relaxed, even easier than being a teacher, and the salary is quite good.
In the past three years, however, Dōsan Hanyū has never faced an enemy worthy of drawing his sword.
"How's your Shunkō practice going?"
The idea was originally proposed by Soi Fon, and it was developed by Dōsan Hanyū Hakuda with Kidō. It was later pointed out that it was the Shunkō of the Shihoin Clan, so the two of them adopted the name.
Soi Fon nodded; this was already her strongest move.
The two chatted idly, occasionally falling silent for a short while, which might seem a bit awkward to others, but they had gotten along very well over the years.
As the two were chatting, Dōsan's eyelids suddenly twitched, and Soi Fon, who was putting sushi into her mouth, also paused. A figure had appeared beside the two.
"Hey, Captain Dōsan, we're swamped with work, and you're still flirting here."
"What's wrong, Lieutenant Maruko?"
A year after Dōsan Hanyū over as captain of the Shin'ō Noble Guard, Number 360 suddenly had the idea of giving himself a name.
After much research, Number 360 named himself Maruko.
This name, how should I put it, is quite artistic.
Three years have passed, Maruko's black hair has grown to her hips, completely flowing down her back. She is the only one in the Seireitei hair this length that is completely draped over her shoulders.
"The sixteenth case of a missing soul has occurred; all six members of the 11th Division, who were in charge of the investigation, have gone missing."
Yet another case of a missing person.
Three years have passed. As the only task that Dōsan Hanyū has undertaken in the past three years, Dōsan has been very dedicated and conscientious, but the results of the investigation are not satisfactory.
There were no results; limited evidence suggested that the perpetrator had entered the World of the Living from the crime scene.
Although he felt it was just bait, Dōsan Hanyū still went to the World of the Living to investigate.
However, no results have been found from the investigation.
The disappearance of souls is a major event that could threaten the safety of the entire Three Realms. However, apart from the one eighteen years ago that led to the rebellion of several captains, subsequent cases of missing souls have only involved a few hundred or a few thousand people. Although the incidents have offended the Soul Reapers, the direct impact has not been that significant.
"I'm sorry, Soi Fon." Dōsan stood up; he wasn't the type to let personal matters interfere with public duty.
Soi Fon didn't look up, but instead lowered her head, picked up a piece of sushi, and gently put it into her mouth, saying, "Be careful."
Dōsan nodded and left in a Shunpo.
Following closely behind, under the command of Ikkaku and Yumichika, the members of the 11th Division and Twelfth Divisions are conducting an investigation.
"Damn it, have you found anything?!"
Before Dōsan Hanyū even arrived, they heard Ikkaku of the room spewing hysterical curses.
"I apologize, Lord Ikkaku, but based on the current information, it is certain that someone once opened Senkaimon here and entered the World of the Living."
"Are you sure?" Dōsan asked softly, startling the hysterical Ikkaku in front of him, who immediately gripped his own knife.
"Captain Hanyū!"
"Hello Captain Hanyū."
Although the Thirteenth Division and the Shin'ō Noble Guard are becoming increasingly at odds, Dōsan Hanyū still holds considerable prestige within the Thirteenth Division.
Furthermore, although the "San Fan Club" is not as powerful as before, it is still a major organization within Seireitei.
"Tch, why are you so late!"
"Something came up, did you say earlier that there was confirmation of boundary-crossing activity in this area?"
"Confirmed, and it must have happened after the 11th Division went missing."
Recalling the information Maruko had just given him, Dōsan murmured, "If that's the case, then perhaps it's still not too late."
"What?" Ikkaku didn't understand.
Give me the research report.
After receiving the on-site report from the members of the Twelfth Division, Dōsan took it and began analyzing the data in the report.
The team members' reports only contained instrument data and lacked professional classification and summarization, so they only provided a general overview.
Dōsan, on the other hand, glanced at the screen, silently calculated, and came to a general conclusion.
"There's still time." Dōsan said excitedly, "Maruko, report to Central 46 for me. I'm going to the World of the Living."
Having said that, Dōsan Hanyū Zanpakuto and pressed it against the space in front of him. A hole appeared, and without hesitation, Dōsan Hanyū went straight inside.
"Hey, wait for me!" Ikkaku shouted, but he was a beat too late.
When someone stumbles upon this passage in the dusty archives of history a century from now, they will be filled with emotion.
Dōsan Hanyū's move changed history.
