However, just as Ichigo Kurosaki had said, he was quite at ease. He felt that if Seireitei truly wanted to kill him, they would not have restored his spiritual pressure.
"All right, Ichigo."
Ailin spoke up, cutting off Ichigo Kurosaki's embarrassment.
"We are, after all, captains of the Gotei 13. We cannot remain away from Seireitei for too long."

Only Yhwach, after completely absorbing the Spirit King, could make Ailin take him seriously.
Of course, despite saying that, Ailin would not make a move against
