School Trip?
Tsuna lay listlessly on his desk. Ever since he had searched all over Japan without finding any trace of the Quincy, he had settled down in Karakura Town and lived the life of a proper student.
Ichigo and the others were gathered around Tsuna's seat, chatting about the interesting things that had happened at school recently.
"Everyone, I just saw Xiaomei and the other teachers go to the administration office," Orihime quickly shared the information after returning from the restroom.
Xiao Mei's real name is Ochi Miyu, and she is their homeroom teacher. Ever since Tsuna was scolded for being absent-minded in class and mumbled "Xiao Mei" in his sleep, the whole class has been calling their homeroom teacher by her nickname.
"According to the school's latest intelligence, it may be related to the school trip." A wise glint flashed across Uryū's glasses.
During the school trip, Tsuna's face showed a look of realization. After this school trip, they would be senior high school students, and they would have to work hard to prepare for entering society or taking the college entrance exam.
This was arguably their last bit of freedom in their high school career, which explains the unusually lively atmosphere in the class; everyone was really looking forward to this school trip.
"I wonder where we'll be traveling to?" Tatsuki stared at Tsuna. It was really great that Tsuna was in the World of the Living for this school trip.
"Even if I'm not in Karakura Town, I'll still rush back as soon as I hear about something this important," Tsuna said with a smile.
He felt somewhat guilty. Since confirming his relationship with Tatsuki, they had never had a proper trip together because they had been preparing for war. This was their first trip together, Tsuna was determined not to miss it.
"Based on past experience, it should be somewhere near Kyoto or in the southern region, right?" Ichigo guessed.
"Kyoto? The Southern Country?" Tatsuki and Orihime's eyes lit up at the same time.
"If we're going to Kyoto, we should prepare a nice yukata, right?" Tatsuki asked Orihime.
Orihime nodded quickly, then said shyly, "In the South, will we go to the beach? Swimsuits...?"
The girl's shyness couldn't affect the men; Ichigo and Chad were already discussing taking pictures at the Kyoto Skytree.
"What an idiot." Uryū sighed helplessly as he watched Ichigo fail to notice Orihime's shy expression.
"What about you? Hasn't Uncle Ryūken been urging you to find a girlfriend?" Tsuna nudged Uryū with his elbow and teased.
Uryū blushed immediately, turned his head away, and said vaguely, "Father... wouldn't concern himself with such... trivial matters..."
"Hey? You bear the great responsibility of carrying on the legacy of the Quincy of the World of the Living." Tsuna whispered in Uryū's ear.
Uryū blushed and tugged at Tsuna's collar, "Aren't you and Ichigo still here? Why are you all leaning on my shoulders?"
"Don't forget, Ichigo is half Shiba Clan. That bold older sister won't let him off the hook. As for me?" Tsuna patted Uryū on the shoulder. "Don't count on me. Once everything's settled, I'll take Tatsuki and wander the world. Anyway, our jobs don't require a fixed location."
Tsuna's shameless attitude of "you'll see if you can find me" really angered Uryū, who wanted to curse but didn't know what to say.
"Alright, everyone back to your seats!" Ochi Miyu, with her ponytail, opened the classroom door.
After everyone had returned to their seats, Ochi Miyu walked up to the podium, patted her notebook, and said, "You all know, right? The next week is our school trip."
Before the homeroom teacher could finish speaking, cheers erupted from the audience.
"Quiet down!" Ochi Miyu slammed her hand on the podium and said, "Today's school trip is a bit special because it's sponsored by a foundation, so each class has a different destination. I just went to the administration office to draw lots."
That was the scene Orihime Inoue saw when she went out.
"You guys are very lucky. This time, your teacher has drawn the most expensive trip..." Ochi Miyu paused here, leaving the students in suspense, and the students cheered in various ways.
The mystery was finally revealed when Ochi Miyu wrote the destination of the trip on the blackboard, "Our class's destination this time is London!"
The next moment, the whole class erupted in deafening cheers, except for Tsuna, and Ichigo who remained silent. In that instant, they all thought of the two magical girls from London.
Ichigo all focused their attention on Tsuna. Tsuna gave them a knowing look, slowly leaned down on the table, and his spirit emerged from his body, walking out of the room.
He took out his special Gigai Communicator and dialed the number in London. After three rings, a weary middle-aged voice came from the other end, "Moshi moshi, Sawada-sensei?"
"Mr. Little Billy, our class is going on a school trip to London soon."
"Really? Congratulations!" came Little Billy's obviously insincere compliment from the other end of the phone.
"So, were you involved?" Tsuna cut to the chase without bothering with pleasantries.
"Well... okay, I applied to the WB. If possible, I hope you can come over." The WB is the highest governing body in the West.
"Did something happen?" Tsuna asked. Logically speaking, the West Bureau and the East Bureau are independent of each other, and there is no need to transfer people from Japan to help.
"We may have detected similar fluctuations to those seen in the East Bureau," Little Billy said.
"The Wandenreich?"
Did Yhwach not appear in Hueco Mundo and Japan because he went to the West?
"I don't know either. We're short-handed lately. If possible, I'd appreciate it if you could come and help investigate," Little Billy said.
"Something happened at the West Bureau?" Tsuna immediately became alert; his parents were in London, and he didn't want anything to happen to them.
"It's hard to explain over the phone. Let's talk about it when you get here. I have other things to do, so I'll be waiting for you in London," Little Billy said.
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Tsuna could only return to the classroom in spirit form, standing among the crowd and saying, "It was the West Bureau that did this. We'll meet with the shopkeeper after school for details."
The school trip notice wasn't delivered in much time. Xiaomei told everyone to go home after school and pack their bags. They had a day and a half to pack and would meet at school on Sunday to head to the airport together.
At Urahara Shop, Jinta's sour face was still the Jinta who opened the door. Everyone filed into the tea room, where Urahara and Yoruichi were already waiting.
After hanging up Little Billy's call, Tsuna asked Urahara to come back to the World of the Living.
"Kid, what do you want from us? We're very busy," Yoruichi said, feigning annoyance.
"Busy? The shopkeeper is the one who's busy, you'd better not doze off." The two were too familiar with each other, and Tsuna Yoruichi all.
"You brat, I'm going to teach you a lesson for not knowing how to respect your elders..."
Urahara hugged Yoruichi, gradually calming Yoruichi down by petting her like a cat, while explaining to Tsuna, "Yoruichi has been practicing her Zanpakuto lately too~"
"Zanpakuto? You?" Tsuna was somewhat surprised. "Does the sword spirit even care about you?"
"It's not that I abandoned it, but that I didn't use it. When I picked it up, it was overjoyed!" Yoruichi said proudly, her communication with her Zanpakuto going surprisingly smoothly.
"Is the power of Flash Cry not enough?" Tsuna that Yoruichi wanted to develop in a direction that Beyond Bankai.
"Further improvement is too difficult; I don't have hundreds of years to slowly hone my skills now." Yoruichi acknowledged Tsuna's guess. "By the way, why did you call Kisuke back?"
"We're going on a school trip to London for the next week, and we'd like to ask the shopkeeper to look after the place for us," Tsuna said.
"That's no problem." World of the Living the equipment Urahara Kisuke had accumulated over a century, it didn't matter to him where he conducted his research. "London? West Bureau?"
"Yes, Little Billy on the phone. He said they detected the same kind of fluctuations as Seireitei over there. I suspect Yhwach might have escaped to the West Bureau Frontier."
"In that case, we have to make a trip no matter what." Urahara nodded firmly. "I will inform Seireitei about this later. You guys need to be careful. If you really encounter Yhwach, don't try to force your way in."
Urahara Kisuke turned around, pulled out a few watches from a pile of miscellaneous items, and distributed them. "These watches have integrated shadow detection and location sharing functions. Remember to send a signal if danger occurs."
"Thank you so much, shopkeeper!" Ichigo put on the watch and found it fit quite well.
"Manager, do you have any more? Give me two more."
"No problem." Urahara handed two more watches to Tsuna. "If it's confirmed that the Quincy are really in the West Bureau territory, but we can't do anything about them, let the Sawada couple come back. The West Bureau is no longer safe."
"I'll consider it." Tsuna. The specifics would have to be discussed in London. Now that his parents had accepted the existence of supernatural events, persuading them shouldn't be too difficult.
After watching Tsuna and the others leave, Urahara Kisuke Yoruichi to go to Soul Society and inform Kyōraku to come and discuss countermeasures.
"You're hiding something in that watch, aren't you?" Yoruichi asked, squinting.
"It's just a location coordinate that can be opened from Soul Society. We can't just send them on their own risk, can we? The Seireitei should also do its part. Captain-Commander Kyōraku will agree."
Since Reverse London calls itself the West Bureau, while Seireitei is the East Bureau, it means that both are from the Soul Society. However, they cross countless mountains, seas, and uninhabited areas. Going to the West Bureau through the Soul Society World of the Living.
Sunday arrived quickly, and only Ichigo's class showed up at school. The other classes weren't going on their overseas trips, so their departure time was Monday morning.
With Ichigo boarded the plane, still buzzing with anticipation. He grabbed Tsuna and asked, "Did you tell Aunt Nana? Will she pick me up at the airport? Ah, it's been so long since I've had Aunt Nana's oden, I miss it so much!"
Suppressing his agitation, Tsuna pressed Ichigo's face into Orihime's arms, and said helplessly to Ichigo in front of Orihime's sly smile, "I notified her, but I didn't ask her to pick me up from the airport. Don't forget, we're going to check into the hotel first."
