Ge Kuang is dead.
No one can tell how she died.
Tsunayashiro Clan only said that he died of illness, and there was nothing more to say. But in the dark alley of Rukongai, among the people who Ge Kuang had stayed with, helped, and talked to, a name was spread over and over again, suppressed at the throat.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada.
Her husband, Tsunayashiro Tokinada killed her
Some people believe it, some people don't believe it, but whether they believe it or not, it can't change the fact that she is dead.
And the last words she left behind were only one sentence.
Let her friends bury her back to that place.
It's not like the last words of a violently murdered man, but no one would think about that
Her friend was standing beside her coffin. He couldn't see her face, but he still stared at it as if he could see it. The white chrysanthemums around her body were slightly blown by the wind, and this wind also made him alone.
After a long time, he took away her only relic that was placed on her chest, the tangerine-colored anti-slip belt, the drop-shaped knife with a ring guard, and the purple scabbard style Zanpakutō
Her Zanpakutō
A coffin-carrying team alone, the lightless world turns into darkness, my heart is raining, the sky is shrouded in dark clouds, rain, so heavy rain, rain alone, how will this rain stop, how will the dark clouds disperse, or will the rain continue to fall forever, and there will never be sunny days again?
The following plot details can be found in "Can't Fear Your Own World"
A few days later, Noble District.
A figure staggered in.
It was a young man with dark skin and a gloomy expression. He was not wearing Shihakushō and was only wrapped in a shabby gray robe. He looked like a wild beast that had entered a place it shouldn't have entered.
That was a cry that put one's life on the line.
"Please, please let me meet Central 46"
Blocked by a six-foot steel rod held by a strong guard, a young man continued to shout loudly.
There is no color in the young man's eyes, and it can be seen from some subtle behaviors that he is blind.
The blind young man seemed to be able to judge the surrounding situation just by the sounds. He must also have felt the fierce atmosphere of the guards in front of him.
The moment the young man arrived here, he had already made up his mind to risk his body and life.
The guards were completely unaware of this. They just understood that they could not avoid it because they were blind, and they swung their weapons at the defenseless opponents without hesitation.
However, there was a fierce impact, and the guards' blows were deflected.
"Please don't do anything that will cause commotion. Miss Ge Kuang is still in mourning period."
"You, you are..."
"Leave him to me to persuade him, and you can just continue your security work."
"Yes, yes!"
The blind young man could not understand what was happening at first.
His consciousness was captured by the name spoken by the man who seemed to have saved him.
Ge Kuang.
The reason why I risked my life to come here.
That is the name of an irreplaceable best friend who has lived together at Rukongai since childhood.
The man who said this name spoke to the blind young man in a gentle voice.
"I know about you. It's true. I came to Miss Ge Kuang's funeral, right?"
"Do you know... that person?"
"That's the so-called colleague. I am also Soul Reaper... but maybe I have lost my qualifications as Soul Reaper since I failed to protect her."
The man said with a sad face and stretched out his hand to the blind young man.
"Is that so, you are Tōsen Kaname-kun? Even in the team building, she will always mention your name. That's why you were specially called to the team funeral ceremony, right?"
The blind young man--Tōsen Kaname is a resident of Rukongai. He is not even Soul Reaper and he cannot freely enter and exit Seireitei.
He was able to enter Seireitei precisely because of this special treatment.
"Miss Ge Kuang, when she joined the team as Soul Reaper, she left a suicide note in advance. After all, she didn't know when she would die in the battle with the Hollow. It is better to say that this is actually the behavior recommended by the Shin'ō Academy."
According to Soul Reaper, who was acquainted with Ge Kuang, in the suicide note, "If I die, I hope my body can be buried in Rukongai", which is the wish written in it.
"It seems that I hope to be buried at the foot of a hill where I can see the stars. As for the location, my relatives and friends named Tōsen Kaname know"
"... Yes, I probably know that hill."
Tōsen What comes to mind is the memory of looking up at the night sky with my best friends next to the village on the hill.
--"I like the night sky, yes"
--"Because, the night sky is similar to this world"
--"Everything is covered in darkness, but there are also many tiny rays of light"
--"However, there are clouds that block these lights."
--"I want to be the one who drives away those clouds"
--"In order to prevent any light from disappearing, I will disperse those clouds, yes"
Looking up at the starry sky and saying this, she finally realized her dream.
He gained power and status in order to protect the light of the world.
"... I heard that her husband killed her"
"Ah, that's right. Her husband had a slight dispute with his colleagues in the same team and he was killed, and his wife who advised him was also killed. This is a fact."
"... Why did she... that person have to die?"
"Ah, my name is Tokinada. Tsunayashiro Tokinada."
"Yes, Tsunayashiro-sama is...?"
At this time, Tōsen's thinking stopped for an instant.
A strong sense of dissonance.
That was a familiar name because I had just heard it from the man in front of me.
--No, but. How could it be?
--I must have thought wrong.
"My wife...Ge Kuang, you can forgive me."
"You... you bastard...!"
Although Tōsen was pointing the Roar in the direction of the sound, the blood overflowing from his throat prevented him from forming words well.
"Did you answer the question just now? We must pay attention to her wishes, that's it. If you really care about my wife, you should forgive me, forget your hatred, and spend every day safely under the protection of Soul Reaper like me, right?"
"... Goo!"
"My wife is also expecting you to do this, right? Try to understand, even if it's for her sake."
He said nothing more.
He just turned around, like an empty shell that had lost his soul, and staggered away from the street.
"Stop."
The noble guards drew their swords and surrounded the figure.
"Colliding with Noble District, offending Tsunayashiro Clan... Do you think you can leave?"
The light of the knife slowly lit up in the dusk light.
The knife at the front is about to fall
"Ouch."
A gentle, smiling voice sounded from the side.
Sosuke Aizen.
He didn't know when he was standing in front of the man in gray robe. His eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses calmly swept over the guards, his smile was gentle, but with a chilling oppression.
"I took this person away."
The guards looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward.
Aizen turned around, looked at the man who was about to collapse to the ground, and stretched out his hand.
"Can I still leave?"
The man slowly raised his head, looked at the gentle face in front of him, and was silent for a long time.
