Visiting a Prisoner

Chad returned after paying the bill, but Bruno didn't come back with him. His Magic Formation Team had other things to do and couldn't stay at Maria Hospital indefinitely.

"It's already quite kind of the captain to bring us here despite his busy schedule," Tsuna, expressing his understanding.

"By the way, did you tell Inoue about Ichigo being in the hospital?" Chad suddenly asked.

Tsuna and Uryū were taken aback. They had been engrossed in their conversation and forgotten about this. Logically, they should have told Orihime Inoue Orihime Inoue, but it didn't seem quite right to do so.

"Orihime, she'll go berserk, won't she?" Tsuna guessed. To Orihime Inoue, Ichigo was her everything; if anything happened to Ichigo, she would rush over even if it meant traversing the entire city of London.

"Ichigo is alright now, Tsuna, why don't you have Tatsuki test him out?" Uryū suggested.

Ichigo's sleeping face is now very peaceful, completely different from his previous pain. According to Miliu, Ichigo will wake up soon, so there is no need for Orihime to come over.

"Good idea."

Tsuna immediately picked up his phone and sent a message to Tatsuki, knowing that Tatsuki's intelligence would definitely allow him to understand their thoughts.

However, it didn't take long before Orihime Inoue called. After Tsuna repeated dozens of times that Ichigo was alright, Tsuna 'Noelle assurance that she would arrive at Maria Hospital within half an hour.

Half an hour later, with a rich aroma of baking, Orihime Inoue pushed open the door to the room and saw Tatsuki rushing towards Ichigo's bedside like lightning, while Inoue rolled her eyes and walked towards Tsuna.

"Seriously, do you think any girl could stay calm if she heard her boyfriend was in the hospital?"

"Nothing's wrong, is it?" Tsuna chuckled, scratching the back of his head. He had no temper in front of Tatsuki.

"It's understandable to worry even if nothing's wrong!" Tatsuki said solemnly, then took out a few loaves of bread from the bag. "Are you hungry? I was just picking out bread with Orihime. She said she wanted to try some London-style bread."

"Perfect timing, I'm a little hungry."

After separating from Tatsuki, Tsuna and his friends did quite a bit of work. First, they tracked down and captured the Quincy Girls, and then they got into a fight with the captains of the West Bureau.

Ichigo was lying on the bed, twitched his nose twice, then sprang up, completely ignoring Orihime pounce on him. "It smells so good, I'm hungry."

"It seems the captain of the Holy Affairs Team was being conservative. With Ichigo's health, he woke up in less than an hour," Tsuna said to Uryū and Chad while munching on bread.

"By the way, why are you guys in the hospital?" Tatsuki was very curious about how these people managed to come to the hospital for sightseeing.

"It's a long story..."

After not staying long at the hospital and completing the discharge procedures for Ichigo, the group returned to the room that Sawada Nana had prepared for them. It was only then that Tatsuki and the others realized that Tsuna others had already gone through several battles.

The next day, Tsuna and Uryū went to Reverse London, the Jail specially managed by the WB for these superhumans. Coincidentally, its location was the same as Seireitei's, right beneath the most important building.

In the lobby of the WB headquarters building, Roy had received Tsuna, strode over. "Is it just the two of you?"

"The other two companions will help the ladies carry their bags," Tsuna explained.

As Ichigo for making the girls stop shopping halfway through, Ichigo was ordered to go shopping with them. Chad volunteered to accompany him, otherwise Ichigo would go crazy if he Ichigo.

"Then come with me. By the way, what's this?" Roy noticed that Tsuna and Uryū were both carrying small baskets. As the captain in charge of the Jail, he had to ask if there were any contraband items.

Tsuna lifted the tablecloth covering it to show the contents. "A souvenir for someone."

"This is the first time I've ever heard of someone bringing gifts for prisoners," Roy said with a smile, shaking his head as he led the way towards the Jail.

"I just thought that this way, it would be easier for her to speak," Tsuna said.

Mentioning the girl group members, Roy, walking down the corridor, immediately became serious. "I'm sorry to have let you down. Those people are more troublesome than I imagined."

"Oh? You didn't get anything out of them?" Tsuna vaguely remembered Roy saying that their Joka Squad was professional.

"I'm very sorry, things have taken a bit unexpectedly." Roy's dark skin concealed the embarrassed blush on his face.

"How did they do that?" Roy's question piqued Tsuna's interest. Even Ichigo found the chanting of the Joka Squad annoying; how did the girl group manage to do it?

"Interrogation always requires some skill, but their bodies have entered a strange state, causing our interrogation to reach a stalemate."

"As soon as we begin interrogation, blue vein-like patterns appear on their skin, rendering all our conventional interrogation methods ineffective."

"This forced me to intervene personally, increasing the intensity of the incantation. But just as their strange defenses were about to collapse, the black-haired woman suddenly fell into a coma, her body showing signs of disintegration."

"This forced me to summon the Holy Affairs Team overnight to rescue her. After that, I dared not use any more methods lightly; they were ineffective against weaker targets, and if I went all out, I might just kill the prisoner..."

Roy recounted his interrogation process, and he was also somewhat speechless. He had never seen such a tough yet fragile prisoner in all his years of experience.

"Can the Blut Vene withstand the attack of the Cursed Song?" Tsuna asked Uryū.

"I don't know, but we can try." Uryū looked at Roy. "Captain Roy, please cast a spell on me, and I will defend with all my might."

The next moment, Uryū's entire body emitted a blue light, and to show his respect for Roy, he even strengthened the blood vessels in his ears.

"Excuse me."

Roy chose a less aggressive incantation and recited it. The materialized words struck Uryū, but bounced off as if they had hit a hard object.

The words were then sent to Uryū's ears, but the result was the same; on the surface, they did not have much of an impact on Uryū.

"How could this be?" Roy had never seen this kind of ability when he fought Ichigo.

"This is the Blut Vene, which you can think of as magic that enhances the body's defenses with magical power. For your voice to reach the enemy's body, it needs to make contact with their body. Uryū is using all-around defense, so your incantation doesn't seem to be working," Tsuna explained.

"Doesn't that mean your abilities completely counter our Joka Squad?" Roy gave a wry smile. Could it be that they'd actually encountered the nemesis of their own profession?

"So, if that's the case, Quincy are everyone's nemesis." Tsuna corrected Roy's statement. "Using the Blut Vene from all angles is extremely taxing on both physical and mental strength. You can pull Quincy into a physical contest just by chanting a spell. You should be happy."

"So, if I just keep having the members of the Joka Squad spells on them, this defense will break down on its own?" Roy analyzed.

"I'm starting to suspect that breaking their Blut Vene might not be a good thing. It's impossible for their bodies to collapse like that if their Blut Vene Armor is broken." Tsuna's eyes were full of doubt. "Let's talk to them first and see."

"Please take us to the cell with the petite, blond-haired guy," Tsuna said.

"No problem, we've kept each of these people in solitary confinement."

Following Roy's footsteps, they passed through layers of guards Tsuna finally entered the prison corridor. Unlike the wailing and howling they had imagined, the cells here were eerily quiet.

Looking through the only window in the cell door, every prisoner inside looked dejected and listless, completely devoid of life, and appeared lifeless.

"This is the cell for serious offenders. Every prisoner has been interrogated by the Joka Squad, you understand," Roy explained.

None of the people interrogated by their Joka Squad were normal. Those prisoners who had already revealed all their secrets were used as practice targets for new recruits. After being repeatedly tortured, they appeared lifeless.

Neither Tsuna nor Uryū said anything; this was the management model of the West Bureau, and it was not their place to comment.

As they arrived at the door of Liltotto's cell, the heavy door opened with an unpleasant creaking sound, and a voice filled with disgust came from within.

"You can even roast potatoes so badly! This is torture for prisoners!"

"Should I help you protest?"

Upon hearing Tsuna's voice, Liltotto, who was lying on the small bed, sat up with a thud, but her range of motion was limited, as her hands and feet were bound by special magical shackles.

"It's you! Didn't you promise to treat prisoners well?!" Liltotto immediately questioned Tsuna. Not only was she not getting enough to eat, but the food Roy and the others provided was inedible even to her. This was torture for both her body and mind.

"I'll leave this place to you, Sawada-sensei."

Roy tactfully withdrew, while Uryū gave Tsuna a look. Tsuna slowly shook his head. This was the West Bureau's the Jail, and it was bound to have equipment to monitor prisoners. Forcibly interfering with it using Sky Flame would only cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Tsuna took the basket from Uryū's hand and placed it in front of Liltotto along with the one he had brought. He then lifted the tablecloth covering it, and tears of emotion immediately streamed down Liltotto's face.

Tsuna carried a basket of freshly baked bread, while Uryū carried a basket of his own homemade Eastern dishes.

Liltotto was itching to do something, but in this situation, she managed to maintain her composure. "You're not trying to poison me, are you?"

"Killing you isn't that complicated. Hurry up and eat, then answer my questions honestly."

"You think you can get anything out of my mouth with just this one meal?" Liltotto said righteously. "I need extra food! And it has to be this standard every time! I'm not eating those lousy potatoes from yesterday!"

Because of the presence of the Saint Letters G, Liltotto is naturally more prone to hunger. In addition, the food that Roy gave the non-human yesterday was in stark contrast to Tsuna and the others brought today. Liltotto immediately decided that she didn't want to endure yesterday's miserable days again.

Roy, who was eavesdropping in the secret room, was almost in tears. The fragile glass he thought had a strong will was so easily broken down; all it took was going hungry for a meal.

However, what Roy didn't know was that what truly made Liltotto give up was Tsuna's arrival and the words he spoke in the mist.
