Shihōin Chunyan, Head of the Family, who had been in charge of Four Great Noble Clans for hundreds of years, finally died in front of his own children out of worry.
After the old man died, the funeral was held as scheduled.
After hearing the news, most of Soul Society's top executives rushed over to attend the funeral.
The sages of Central 46, the big and small Nobles in Soul Society, most of the captains of Gotei 13--
People all wore dark dresses, and the old man's funeral was packed to the rafters.
The atmosphere at the Shikokuin Family is heavy, as if the air is filled with lead, making people feel extremely depressed.
The low mourning music continued for more than twenty days.
The core of this funeral is the ceremony of Konsō, which was personally performed by the Head of the Family Yoruichi of the Shikokuin Family.
The usually lively Head of the Family has been in a very gloomy mood during this period.
Konsō, who was presiding over his father, and young Head of the Family, with an almost emotionless voice, recited the requiem eulogy in a low voice, sending his father's soul to an unknown and distant place.
Yushiro cried so hard that she fainted several times.
Time flies by, and the old man's funeral has ended. The gloomy atmosphere in the Shikokuin Family for months has gradually eased.
Although people will feel sad for the passing of the deceased, they will eventually get over this grief as time goes by and continue to move forward.
In the Shikokuin Family, it gradually returned to what it used to be.
The nagging and verbose father suddenly disappeared from the family, which made Yoruichi feel an indescribable loss.
It might not be a big deal on weekdays, but when I think about it occasionally, I can't help but feel stunned. When I come back to my senses, tears are already covering my whole face.
As the funeral ended, the busyness of the previous period gradually subsided, and Kenma could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because of this matter, his subsequent series of arrangements were interrupted, and now he can finally get away from this matter to complete his important tasks.
There is no moon in the night sky tonight, and the dark sky is dotted with stars.
Even Kenma, who doesn't know much about romance or celestial phenomena, can't help but be filled with emotion when facing this situation.
It was already late at night. After Kenma comforted Yoruichi, he came to the study and discussed with Shisui and Fugaku about the development and construction of Underworld Land in Pirate World.
"What your lord is saying is that you want to build a city in that Underworld Land?"
Shisui heard Kenma's idea, his brows furrowed deeply, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Fugaku on the side saw it and couldn't help but ask, "Shisui, what happened to that piece of Underworld Land?"
Shisui explained, "Fugaku has never been there, so he doesn't know yet. The temperature there is extremely low, enough to freeze the soul. The continent is just frozen soil, making it difficult to build a stable city wall."
"If we transport supplies from here, it will be quite expensive."
Shisui made a simple estimate in his mind.
If we really build a base there, the construction materials alone, not even the entire Shikokuin Family's financial resources, can support it.
Kenma has naturally considered this situation and has already made up his mind.
He looked at Shisui and said the solution he had already thought of.
"No materials are needed, just use Kido to build it, just like Onmitsukidō Headquarters."
When Onmitsukidō was built, Shisui was also present, so naturally he saw how quickly it was built in one day.
If this is the case, you can naturally ignore the environment of Yomi, but there are still two problems.
"Sir, Reishi are rare among Yomi. I am afraid that they cannot support such a huge building."
After a pause, Shisui asked again, "What's more, if we want to use Kido to build it, who should we look for?"
"After all, it is another world, and it is also our secret base."
"As for such a large-scale Kido, none of our people can complete it - only the two Kido captains can complete the entire Seireitei!"
Kenma waved his hand. "For Reishi, just transport it directly from Soul Society. As for the builder--"
"I have the right person, don't worry."
Seeing Kenma looking so confident, it was obvious that he had already planned it.
Shisui is not entangled in this issue either.
Fugaku looked at Kenma, pondered for a moment and then asked, "When Underworld Land's city is built, who should guard it?"
Shisui recalled Kenma's behavior when the two returned to Soul Society, and suddenly had an idea in his mind, and chuckled at Fugaku.
"There is no need to worry about this issue. General has already chosen someone to guard Lord Kenma."
"Yes, it seems Shisui you have already thought of it."
Kenma nodded, thinking of the man with a crescent-like white beard.
"How about Newgate?"
Shisui was certain in his heart that it was indeed him.
"Whitebeard's words are of course no problem, trustworthy, and the force is enough to defend one side."
Fugaku on the side frowned and asked, "But as far as I know, Whitebeard now basically has no idea of fighting for hegemony or being born."
"Since coming to Soul Society, Whitebeard has always had a mentality similar to retirement. Throughout Hiyori, his sons have lived a stable life together. Even if they have small fights, they are just ordinary things like fights."
"Whitebeard, will he really agree to this?"
Kenma looked confident and waved his hand.
"He will agree. After all, it is his world over there. No matter how peaceful it is, there will always be some motivation in his heart."
"What's more, I will go over and explain the situation to him personally."
Seeing Kenma say this, Fugaku immediately felt relieved.
"If you can come forward in person, you will be able to succeed immediately."
Just as the three of them were discussing the details of establishing a stronghold, Kenma suddenly sensed that the warning barrier outside the courtyard had been touched.
"Someone is coming."
After Kenma finished speaking, the two Shisui immediately looked solemn.
After carefully sensing the suppressed familiarity of the person who came over, Spiritual Pressure and Kenma relaxed their brows and said to Shisui, "Don't worry, it's Yoruichi."
When the two heard this, their expressions immediately softened, and they immediately started to clean up the files on the desktop.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Tuk Tuk!
What followed was the somewhat complicated sound of Yoruichi.
"Kenma, are you there? I have something to tell you."
Seeing Yoruichi's behavior, Kenma felt strange in his heart.
If it were the past, Yoruichi would definitely push the door open without saying anything.
Today I changed my temper and even knocked on the door.
And he is still so gentle and soft-spoken.
It's really not like Yoruichi's usual personality.
If Spiritual Pressure had not met the test, Kenma would have suspected that the current Yoruichi was disguised by someone else.
Kenma walked over and opened the door.
The figure of Yoruichi is standing at the door, holding one arm across his chest and holding the other arm. Under the light of the light in front of the door, he looks a little lonely and uneasy.
Seeing Yoruichi's appearance, Kenma frowned.
"Yoruichi--What are you doing?"
"Come in first."
Shisui and Fugaku in the room had already packed up. Seeing the arrival of Yoruichi, the two resigned one after another.
Yoruichi is not surprised at all that Shisui is here.
After sitting down, he looked directly at Kenma with his golden eyes, his husband who had pushed Shikokuin Family to its peak.
Kenma had never seen Yoruichi's eyes like this before, and his heart became more and more strange.
"Yoruichi, what's the matter with you staying up so late and running over to me?"
Yoruichi came back to his senses, looked at the solemn expression on his husband's face, and gritted his teeth.
"Kenma, what are you hiding from me?"
