"By the way, Captain Ailin, did you find out anything in the Human World?"
"No."
Ailin shook his head and tossed Ginjo Kugo's corpse onto the ground.
"Ginjo believed that the group of Shinigami who attacked him also belonged to the Seireitei."
"The Shinigami who later came to question him and fought him likewise belonged to the Seireitei."
"To him, there was no difference between the two."
"He could not consider killing the Shinigami who came to question him a second time a crime simply because of an internal power struggle within the Seireitei."
"In the end, he even took the initiative to attack me and was defeated."
"However, he still escaped with the help of several companions."
Jūshirō Ukitake opened his mouth as though he wanted to say something, but ultimately said nothing.
He had a rough idea of just how powerful Ailin was.
If Ailin had truly wanted to capture Ginjo Kugo, then let alone Ginjo's companions being weaker than Ginjo himself, even ten more Ginjos would not have been able to escape Captain Ailin's grasp.
At this moment, although Ailin had brought back Ginjo Kugo's body, Ginjo Kugo's soul, as a "Soul King Candidate," had escaped.
"Captain Ukitake, regarding Ginjo, please pass a message to the Twelfth Division and have them investigate."
"Once they find any trace of Ginjo Kugo, notify me immediately. I will bring him back to the Seireitei and make sure he receives the punishment he deserves."
"Mm, I understand."
"Take care, Captain Ailin."
After leaving the Thirteenth Division, Ailin headed toward the Kuchiki Clan estate.
Just as Jūshirō Ukitake had thought, if Ailin had truly wanted to bring Ginjo Kugo back, there was no way Ginjo could have escaped with Yukio's meager spatial abilities alone.
However, Ailin still needed Ginjo Kugo and the
