Urahara Kisuke Captured Alive by Aizen

Ichigo's threat drew no particular reaction from Yoru Machi, who told him he could leave without worry.

He was quite experienced when it came to looking after other people's younger sisters. After all, he had taken care of quite a few younger sisters by now.
