After the Visored separated from Tsuna and the others, they temporarily chose to conceal their whereabouts. Unlike Tsuna and the other World of the Living blades, each of them had some connection with the Seireitei, and they were reluctant to interfere with Seireitei.

Therefore, after arriving in Soul Society, the Visored parted ways with Tsuna and the others. They would appear before the execution to take revenge themselves.

Having just parted ways with Tsuna and the others, Hirako and his group faced the challenge of how to get through the next few days without attracting attention.

"Hey, bald guy, what's the plan next?" It was still Hiyori's blunt tone.

"There's not much to do. Life in Soul Society is different from the World of the Living. It's been so long since we've been back, so everyone should adjust first. We'll meet at the West White Path Gate the day after tomorrow at noon." Hirako briefly explained the arrangements. "Alright, everyone can disperse now."

"The day after tomorrow at noon? There's still plenty of time," Rose said.

"Why noon the day after tomorrow?" Kuna Hak asked curiously.

Looking at this adorable and innocent girl, Aikawa Love sighed silently. With a Vice-Captain who lacked common sense, Muguruma Kensei didn't have an easy time back then either.

"There is trade between Seireitei and Rukongai. In order to maintain the normal order of Seireitei, this time is usually arranged at noon, when the White Path Gate will open, and we can take the opportunity to sneak in." As the former captain of the Inner Court, Aikawa Love is quite familiar with these things.

"Actually, there are two other ways to enter Seireitei. One is to have Kohachi look for loopholes in the restrictions left from the past, but that would take too long and might attract the attention of the Gotei 13."

Upon hearing Hirako's words, Hachigen Ushōda revealed a faint smile. The Kidō Corps was responsible for the defense of the Seireitei, so of course he would leave a backdoor for himself. However, a hundred years had passed, and Hachigen couldn't guarantee that the loopholes from the past had not been fixed, so this method was rejected.

"The last one is that bastard Urahara. He definitely has a way to sneak into Seireitei." Hirako got angry as she said this. "That bastard actually said that if we can't even get into Seireitei, we can forget about revenge."

Even though what Urahara Kisuke said was true, Hirako still gets angry when she thinks about Urahara's smug expression at the time.

"If we set the date for the day after tomorrow, Sawada Tsunayoshi and his group will have already caused a disturbance, Seireitei's defenses will definitely be strengthened." Lisa asked, "Will the White Path Gate still open at that time?"

Aikawa Love did not answer. According to his understanding, with Seireitei, the White Path Gate would definitely not be opened.

"Hmph, just a bunch of petty Ryoka, how could they possibly disrupt the daily enjoyment of noble lords?" Hirako said nonchalantly, "You can rest assured, the White Path Gate will definitely open, it'll just be a little more heavily guarded."

"That's great. A day and a half is plenty of time for me to investigate," Lisa said calmly, adjusting her glasses, though a cunning glint was hidden beneath them.

"Hey, Lisa, what are you up to?" Knowing Hirako's team members as Hirako, Lisa was definitely not thinking anything good.

"I just wanted to see which streets were the most bustling right now, and get a feel for the local market," Lisa said.

But Lisa's words clearly couldn't conceal her true intentions. Hirako his keen eye for uncovering other people's secrets, said, "You're not planning to take those erotic books back to Soul Society, are you?"

"So what? Soul Society is severely lacking in the nourishment of these arts. As Tsuna would say, developing the arts and culture of Soul Society will allow me to make some money at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."

A triumphant gleam flashed across Lisa's glasses. Finally, she had found her purpose in life again: to spread art Soul Society!

Hirako knew a little about this. When Tsuna was training with them, he asked them what they wanted to do after they got their revenge during their free time. Hirako couldn't answer that question.

In Hirako's eyes, he bears a great deal of responsibility for Aizen's problems. The reason he chose Aizen as his Vice-Captain was Hirako saw that Aizen was hiding his true thoughts and wanted to keep Aizen by his side so that he could personally keep an eye on him.

As a result, Hirako not only failed to keep Aizen in check, but was also betrayed by Aizen, leading to the Visored being forced to leave Soul Society due to their Hollowfication Experiment.

Whenever Hirako thinks about this, he regrets not killing Aizen with a single blow when he first discovered Aizen, instead of giving Aizen time to grow stronger.

So when Tsuna asked him what he wanted to do, Hirako couldn't answer. For him, the motivation to live was to take revenge on Aizen. As for the future, he would deal with that later.

Tsuna scoffed at Hirako's answer. He refuted Hirako's point of view without hesitation. Hollowfication claimed to want to avenge Aizen, but a hundred years have passed and he still hasn't fully mastered Hollowfication, let alone developed Sakanade. And he still wants to avenge Aizen? It's laughable.

It was after this incident that Hirako devoted himself to developing Sakanade's abilities. He had heard Tsuna describe Sakanade as Shikai to fight bosses and Bankai clear out minions, so he delved into developing Sakanade's Shikai.

Having been disappointed by Hirako, Tsuna quickly turned his attention to the other members of the Visored. Apart from Muguruma Kensei, who was still resentful about the Hollowfication Incident and believed that he had framed everyone, the other members of the Visored had more or less found new spiritual sustenance in the past hundred years.

Lisa needs no introduction. Being a repressed and horny woman, she was living in paradise in the World of the Living, spending her days studying all sorts of erotic books.

Aikawa Love is a manga otaku, Rose still loves music, but this time it's music from the World of the Living, Kuna Hak is a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) girl who fantasizes all day about being Visored Rider, Hachigen is interested in the aristocratic life of the World of the Living, and even Hiyori is trying to integrate into World of the Living life.

Members like these with clear goals have more or less imagined their future lives.

"Lisa, I'll go with you too," Aikawa Love said.

"Love, are you also planning to open a shop in Soul Society?" Muguruma Kensei asked curiously.

"Supporting a hobby requires a lot of money. I plan to do the same as Lisa, except I'll resell some comics and merchandise to enrich the entertainment of Soul Society," Aikawa Love said.

Hirako knew that Love's second half of the sentence must have been taught to him by Tsuna, otherwise this otaku would never have thought of such a high-sounding statement.

"In that case, I'll go take a look too," Rose said gracefully.

"No, Rose, are you planning to open a shop too?" Lisa asked curiously.

"Of course, music has no boundaries. I could open a music store." Rose thought of the musical instruments that World of the Living but not in the Soul Society.

"Do you really think anyone will buy those things? We don't have much capital on hand, we don't want them to become a burden."

At this moment, Lisa revealed a different kind of shrewdness. To become the Vice-Captain under Kyōraku, one must be shrewd. Don't expect that lazy Kyōraku to be of any help in daily team affairs.

Even guys like the Visored need money to live in the World of the Living. For many years, Urahara has been supporting them and occasionally giving them odd jobs. They don't have much money left over. People like Love, who spend all their money on comics, and Hiyori, who often messes up her Hiyori, have even less money. They usually just wear sportswear to get by.

Lisa, Rose, and Love bickered as they disappeared around the corner. Hirako turned to Muguruma Kensei and asked, "Don't you like boxing? Why don't you open a boxing gym?"

"What a joke! Most Bleach don't even bother with Hakuda), let alone opening a boxing gym? Do ordinary people have the time or energy to box? Don't be ridiculous." Muguruma Kensei said nonchalantly, but a hint of anger was hidden beneath his seemingly indifferent eyes. He wanted to punch Tondemo hard in Aizen's face.

"Hey, Kensei, let's go get something to eat, okay?" Kuna Hak poked Kensei's shoulder and said in a spoiled tone.

Kensei couldn't do anything about being the Vice-Captain; he was used to it. In the past, when he led the team on missions, Hae would take the team to Rukongai for food. "Okay, who wants to come along?"

"I'll go too. I've been in Soul Society for so many years, but I haven't really experienced the taste of Rukongai." Hachigen Ushōda said. Unlike ordinary squads, the Kidō Corps can't leave Seireitei often, so even if he has a back door, he doesn't have many opportunities to use it.

"I won't go. I haven't been back for so many years. Strolling Rukongai is a good idea. What about you?" Hirako asked Hiyori.

Hiyori squatted on the street corner, silently drawing circles with a twig, "I'm not going."

Muguruma Kensei left with Kuna Hak and Hachigen Ushōda, leaving only Hirako and Hiyori behind.

"Where are you going?" Hirako asked, gently nudging Hiyori.

Hiyori paused for a moment. She had never thought about this question before. Her original idea was just to seek revenge on Aizen. After entering Soul Society, she realized that because of her arrogant and domineering behavior, there seemed to be nothing worth staying for in Soul Society.

For Hiyori, the person she truly respected from the bottom of her heart was no longer in Soul Society. Former Squad 12 Captain Yachiru Unohana was the person Hiyori respected the most, and Yachiru Unohana had already been promoted to the Zero Squad.

Among the Squad 12, Hiyori didn't have many friends. The only one she got along well with was Urahara Kisuke, and Urahara was forced to leave Soul Society because of them.

For Hiyori, she truly had no ties in Soul Society, which is why she wholeheartedly integrated into her life in the World of the Living. At least there, she still had familiar people there. If she returned to Soul Society, she would have nothing.

Looking at Hiyori's appearance, Hirako sighed silently. After so many years of getting along, he naturally understood Hiyori's thoughts. This brat always acted tough, and only those who could withstand her violent treatment could barely be considered worthy of her attention. This way of interacting with people made it even harder for her to make friends and made it easier for her to mess things up.

It was precisely because they knew that Hiyori didn't actually have any bad intentions that Hirako and the others didn't hold Hiyori's personality against them, and after so many years of getting along, they had developed some feelings for her.

Hirako ruffled Hiyori's hair, then walked towards the street. "You're not going anywhere, just follow me."

With her hair all ruffled, Hiyori caught up with Hirako and yelled angrily, "You damn bald guy, just you wait!"
