Twelfth Division door.
Kiryū Kirishiki was carrying Kisuke Urahara beside him, followed by a group of soldiers, waving to the street in the distance.
"Little Kenma, I'll be our guest again next time."
"When the time comes, remember to bring little Yoruichi.
19
Far away in the street, Kenma also waved his hand. After showing courtesy, he turned around and walked away.
Followed by Walter, holding a tray in his hand, with paper boxes placed on it, containing packed pastries.
Seeing those people from Twelfth Division entering the team, he turned around and looked at Kenma in front of him.
"It seems that Captain Kiryū Kirishiki has a very good impression of you."
"When I left, I not only came to say goodbye in person, but also gave me so many gifts."
He weighed the tray in front of him. The portion was really quite heavy, enough for several meals.
Kenma couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I just put some spies in it, but I didn't expect that it helped her by some combination of circumstances."
"She thought it was a favor, and she still remembers it to this day."
The so-called spies are naturally Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
It's just that the two of them have extraordinary talents in scientific research, which happened to be a great help to Kiryū Kirishiki, helping her to master Temporary Soul's technology, and even fell into the eyes of Zero Division.
Kenma guessed that with Kiryū Kirishiki's intelligence, he had already realized that Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi were essentially his spies.
After all, he has never concealed such a thing, but Kiryū Kirishiki didn't care at all.
Does she really not care?
Or do you have other plans?
Thinking back to the previous events, Kenma stretched out his hand and pressed his temples with a puzzled expression on his face.
As for the person above Kiryū Kirishiki who revealed the information to her--
Kenma Thinking about it, it should be the northern god general Zero Division, Shutara Senjumaru with the title [Great Weaver].
As far as he knew, Shutara Senjumaru had collaborated with Mayuri Kurotsuchi to set up a private research institute.
After creating Shinigami uniform, Shutara Senjumaru was promoted to Zero Division due to his merit, and Soul King Palace lived in heaven from then on.
The remaining Mayuri Kurotsuchi is unlucky.
Not only was the institute banned by Central 46 at the time, but he himself was also sentenced for being too threatening.
But the exact crime was not found, so he could only be forcibly imprisoned in Worm Nest.
It's miserable to say the least.
The two walked for a while and completely left the Twelfth Division area.
Snails the size of human heads gradually appeared on the walls on both sides, scanning the street with two big eyes.
When someone walks by, the snail's eyes stare at the person and move as the person moves.
Seeing these snails, Kenma stopped, picked up a box of snacks from Walter's tray, and distributed them to the nearby snails.
"Bru--B·--"
The snail sniffed it first, and after seeing that there was no peculiar smell, he chewed it hard, making strange sounds in his mouth, and still stared at the person in front of him with his big eyes.
Seeing this, Kenma nodded slightly.
"These Image Den Den Mushi are well tamed."
While eating the food he gave me, I was still monitoring him, which was considered as fulfilling my duty.
Walter looked at the snail with a novel expression on his face.
"Such a little thing can actually transmit sounds and images, and can also be used as a telephone. It's really a magical creature."
"There are so many kinds of things in the world of the sea."
Although it wasn't the first time he saw it, he always felt strange.
These snails are named Den Den Mushi, and they are magical animals found in a world full of seas.
After some cultivation, it was taken by Onmitsukidō and placed everywhere in Seireitei to monitor the movements of Shinigami.
"I originally wanted to put these Den Den Mushi all over Gotei 13's team building, but unfortunately Yamamoto Shigekuni stopped me and could only place them on some insignificant streets."
"Otherwise, the entire Seireitei will be more transparent to us."
Kenma said regretfully, after feeding the cakes in his hands, he stopped and continued walking towards the distance.
During this pause, Walter had already taken out the Soul Orb, entered Spiritual Pressure, raised the barrier, and enveloped the two of them.
I'm not afraid of others hearing me either.
This barrier not only has the effect of blocking sound, but also builds a layer of camouflage on the outer layer to hide the appearance of people within the barrier.
From the outside, it looks like it is transparent.
After the barrier was raised, Image Den Den Mushi, who was lying on the wall, stopped looking and immediately changed his gaze and continued to scan the street.
Seeing Walter's caution, Kenma felt satisfied and nodded secretly.
Walter followed Kenma and sighed, "Speaking of which, what we gained from coming to Twelfth Division this time is, apart from these pastries, there is also the news that Captain Kiryū Kirishiki is about to be promoted, and there is nothing else."
"Even your original purpose seems to have not been achieved."
Kenma stepped for a moment and then returned to normal.
Walter's eyes and face were downcast, and his face, which was neither sad nor happy, suddenly became depressed at this moment.
"Before - I observed the subtle expression of Urahara, Third Seat, he should be hiding something from the adults."
"Well, I saw it too."
Kenma nodded, his voice a little gloomy, but decisive.
"Kisuke Urahara lied to me!"
Walter raised his head slightly and looked sideways at the generous back in front and side. A layer of white light appeared on the monocle.
There was a thoughtful look on his face, and a hint of inquiry in his voice.
"My Lord has a contract with him, so I should be able to detect his general emotions and feelings. What is the result?"
"Nothing else. His words are serious and without any hesitation. He is definitely not a liar."
Kenma turned his face slightly, looking at Walter behind him from the light, and then looked at the road ahead.
Walter could only see half of Kenma's face, but despite this, he could still see the stern look on his face.
"This is strange."
Walter raised his eyebrows, and a strange look appeared on his face.
"My lord's ability detected that he did not lie, but I used my micro-expressions to detect what he was hiding, and now my lord has concluded that he is indeed lying--"
"Haha."
Kenma sneered, and there was a deep chill in his laughter.
"Kisuke Urahara has a talent for scientific research that is unmatched by ordinary people, but when it comes to performing interpersonal relationships, he is not that talented."
"Walter, the purpose of bringing you here is to ask you to take a look at this guy and help me see his sincerity.
"But now it's precisely because my ability can't detect anything, precisely because you can see it, and precisely because of this sense of violation - that's why I conclude that he must have lied to me!"
"He betrayed me!"
Walter noticed something strange in the voice and couldn't help but quicken his pace. He leaned closer and turned his head slightly to look at Kenma's face diagonally in front of him.
Although he could only see a little from this angle, it also allowed him to clearly see Kenma's expression at this moment.
Laughing!
Walter was slightly startled. Speaking of which, this was the first time he saw a smile on the face of his master after coming to the Shikokuin Family for so long.
For a moment, Walter didn't care about Kisuke Urahara, the protagonist of the previous two people's conversation, and was filled with Kenma's smile at this moment.
It turns out that you can also laugh--
It's just that this smile involves muscles that haven't been used for many years and looks a little stiff.
There was no joy in the ordinary sense, but instead there was a hint of anger, and his eyes were filled with evil and ferociousness.
This smile only lasted for a moment and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Kenma's face immediately returned to its former solemn expression.
The voice was extremely cold and stern, as if it contained endless chill.
"What a Kisuke Urahara, what a great trick!"
"He should have used Kido to seal his memory, or he might have developed something to suppress his own instinctive emotional reaction, or even deceive my perception."
While speaking, Kenma suppressed the anger in his heart and his voice gradually returned to calmness.
"It is precisely because of this that, without having a high-level view of the overall situation, he will show his flaws in the smallest details, allowing us to detect his strangeness."
"Even the weakness and fatigue he showed when he saw me this time may have been specially prepared to paralyze me."
"Walter, fortunately, the matter discussed this time is important, so I will bring you here with me, otherwise - I'm afraid I have been deceived by him!"
Walter couldn't help but lower his voice, shook his head and said, "Even without me, your Excellency can still notice it, and with his humble means, he will never be able to hide it from you!"
"Walter, don't be humble."
"This time it is because of you that I can confirm it immediately!"
This time there was Walter, so he could see it, but what about last time?
What about last time?
He has looked for Kisuke Urahara so many times in the past - what about these?
When did Kisuke Urahara start hiding it from him? Or, from the very beginning, was he lying to himself?
Damn it!
It is in vain that I value him so much, regard him as a partner and entrust him with important responsibilities, and always treat him as a friend!
But this is how he repays himself?
Conceal! Deceive! Betray!
All my sincerity in the past was simply feeding the dog!
Hateful!
Kenma felt resentful at the same time, but also felt a sense of joy in his heart.
Fortunately, he had never trusted Kisuke Urahara in the past and did not let him enter his core layer.
Those confidential things have never been opened to him.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be deceived by him and even lose my pants.
This is a blessing among misfortunes.
Walter spoke softly, with a hint of Killing Intent in his voice.
"Sir, do you want to send someone to arrest Kisuke Urahara? There are many charges."
"Under the severe torture of Onmitsukidō, even a stone can open its mouth, and he is no exception. Sooner or later he will tell the truth."
Hearing this, Kenma's eyes flashed with emotion. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand.
He sighed and rejected the proposal.
"Force it - I'm afraid it won't work."
"No matter what, he is Third Seat of Twelfth Division, and is regarded by Kiryū Kirishiki as Twelfth Division's successor. Catching him will only arouse the hostility of Kiryū Kirishiki."
After a pause, Kenma then added, "Besides, Yamamoto Shigekuni has been paying attention to Onmitsukidō's actions. If he acts rashly, it will also arouse the old man's unwarranted vigilance."
"The gain is not worth the loss."
What's more, there is another thing standing in front of Kenma.
According to his speculation, at this time, Kisuke Urahara has already produced what he wants.
The purpose of his trip was to come to Kisuke Urahara for this thing!
Hogyoku!
Kisuke Urahara actually told him no, which instantly aroused Kenma's suspicion.
He could sense that Kisuke Urahara was deliberately concealing it from him, and the incident of Hogyoku accounted for most of it.
When it comes to Hogyoku, Kenma, one cannot be too cautious.
And Kisuke Urahara is also a well-known figure, so torture to extract a confession is probably useless to him.
On the contrary, it will make him hide Hogyoku deeper.
Kenma If you want to get it again, it will be even more difficult.
We still need a way, let Kisuke Urahara come up with it himself, then he will have a chance of success.
Thinking of this, a kind and gentle figure emerged in Kenma's mind, always smiling.
Aizen Sosuke!
In the original work, it was Aizen who forced out Hogyoku of Kisuke Urahara once to help Hollowfication of Shinjī Hirako and others.
This time, Kenma took advantage of this opportunity.
It seems that the cooperation with Aizen will be deepened.
Walter looked troubled. "Yes, Kisuke Urahara is Close Friend of Lady Yoruichi. If we arrest him rashly, Lady Yoruichi will definitely be dissatisfied."
"By the way, there is also Yoruichi."
Kenma reacted with a look of confusion between his brows.
"Yoruichi is pregnant. Pregnant women are inherently sensitive. It is best not to let her emotions fluctuate too much during this period."
"----Lord Kenma, you--"
Walter turned to look at Kenma, the corner of his eye twitched, and his face was speechless.
"I just mentioned dealing with Kisuke Urahara. Have you never thought about Lady Yoruichi?"
"Is there any?"
"That's right!"
Walter nodded heavily, his tone full of affirmation.
"In your previous words, you have never said that you care about Lady Yoruichi's feelings."
"Hey, didn't I just remember this?" Kenma said, "Now I have it."
"Yes." Walter couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "It was only after the reminder from my butler that you remembered Lady Yoruichi."
What is this?
This is a loving couple that is supposed to support each other, but they still have to rely on him, an outsider, for reminders----
It seems that his master is really a ruthless person in nature.
Kenma squinted his eyes and looked at Walter behind him.
"Walter, keep it secret for me."
"Of course, it is the deacon's duty to help the master solve his problems!" Walter said respectfully.
After all, his master is the person in front of him, not his wife.
On closer inspection, this is not a big deal.
I remember that when he was young, he had kept the secret of an old master's daughter.
I don't know how his carefree former master is doing in heaven.
No, according to the temperament of the former owner, he might go to Hell after death!
A lot of time had passed since Twelfth Division, and seeing that it was getting late, Kenma did not return to Onmitsukidō, but returned directly to his home.
Entering Shikokuin Family's house, Kenma took Walter to Yoruichi's room.
"Yoruichi, I went to Twelfth Division and brought you some snacks."
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Yoruichi lying on Soifon's lap.
In the room, Yushiro was practicing boxing and kicking under the guidance of Yoruichi.
He also made "hum" and "ha" sounds from his mouth.
Seeing Kenma come in, Yushiro immediately hid behind Yoruichi and Soifon, with a pitiful expression.
Yoruichi stood up slowly, and when he heard Kenma's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"You're a prude, but you still have a conscience."
"Take it out quickly."
Kenma hid a debt deep in his heart, so he asked Walter to place these pastries in front of Yoruichi.
"Don't eat too much, your body won't be able to withstand what you are doing now."
"Yushiro and Soifon are welcome too."
Soifon looked normal, but Yushiro was still timid and trembling.
Kenma pinched his chin, feeling strange.
Are you so terrible?
Yushiro Every time I see him, he looks like a frightened deer.
He's not ugly either.
