In battles against Hollows, the effectiveness of the Shinigami Uniform became fully apparent. The higher the Shinigami 'Reiatsu, the stronger the Shinigami Uniform shield became. Ordinary Hollow attacks simply could not break through the Shinigami Uniform shield, greatly reducing the Shinigami's casualty rate.

The reputation of the Shinigami Uniform has improved dramatically.

Incidentally, the clothing store of Yamabuki Chidori also gained a lot of attention.

Not long ago, Yamabuki Chidori, Katoru Hatsunoya, and Mr. Tanaka sat down together to discuss future cooperation. All three parties were very satisfied and prepared for long-term collaboration.

Yamabuki Chidori sat at the door like a retired old man, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand.

Before long, a familiar figure appeared in front of Yamabuki Chidori.

"Ōtōgawa Utsugi? What are you doing in my shop? You're not here to buy clothes, are you? That doesn't fit your stingy persona at all!" Yamabuki Chidori looked at Ōtōgawa Utsugi in surprise. It was really hard to make a single penny out of him!

Ōtōgawa Utsugi said expressionlessly, "Looks like you don't know yet? Something big has happened in the team!"

"Something big???" Yamabuki Chidori had just returned from the Gotei 13 this morning, what could be so big?

"The lady in charge of cooking in the cafeteria fell ill, so there's no food in the cafeteria today. Isn't that a big deal?" Ōtōgawa Utsugi said with a serious expression.

"Then... then what are you doing at my clothing store?" Yamabuki Chidori looked at Ōtōgawa Utsugi with suspicion.

"It's nothing, I was just planning to come here for a free meal. I feel awkward doing it with other people." Ōtōgawa Utsugi blatantly revealed their scheme.

Yamabuki Chidori sighed, "How can someone be so stingy?"

Your monthly salary is quite high, so why are you so reluctant to spend a single penny?

"How about white rice and stewed potatoes for lunch today?" asked Yamabuki Chidori.

"Don't worry about my opinion. For me, anything that's free is the best," Ōtōgawa Utsugi said calmly.

Making it sound so natural to freeload a meal, typical of you.

A little while later, Unohana arrived as well. It seemed that since there was no lunch, Unohana would have to go home for lunch as well.

"Ōtōgawa Utsugi? You're here too?" Unohana said with a smile, "Perfect timing, stay and have dinner with us!"

"You are such a good person," Ōtōgawa Utsugi said, moved.

He just couldn't understand it. How could someone as good as her be rumored Unohana Yachiru be a ruthless female demon?

Is it possible that she really is ruthless and kills without blinking an eye?

With Unohana back, Yamabuki Chidori naturally couldn't just make a simple stew of potatoes, so she added a lot of pork to the potatoes, and the three of them enjoyed a delicious lunch.

"Hey, aren't you guys feeling a little cold?" Ōtōgawa Utsugi hugged their shoulders and shivered.

Yamabuki Chidori was also a little puzzled. Indeed, why was the weather so cold at the end of October? He looked up at the sky and then discovered...

"It's snowing!" Yamabuki Chidori reached out her hand, and snowflakes drifted down and landed in her Yamabuki Chidori, melting into icy water.

Looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, Yamabuki Chidori was surprised that the snow had come so early this year.

I haven't prepared any winter supplies yet!

Several months have passed since I came into this world; time really flies.

When I was a child, I always thought that winter vacation would be very long. It wasn't until the day before school started and I looked at the unfinished homework that I realized that the vacation was actually very short.

"Let's go buy some charcoal later! Don't catch a cold," Unohana said very considerately.

When Yamabuki Chidori once watched anime, he noticed that no matter how cold the weather was, Japan girls would walk around the streets with bare legs. At first, he thought it was just something in manga to show off the girls' good figures, but after learning a little about the situation in Japan, he realized that it was actually true.

No matter how cold the weather, girls still show off their beauty with bare legs, a genuine display of beauty that's freezing.

Of course, Japan also has one of the highest rates of rheumatism.

In comparison, Yamabuki Chidori admires Queen Kesha from "Super God Academy" more.

While the other Angel ladies were all wearing miniskirts showing off their legs, our Queen Kesha stood out so much in her red thermal underwear.

"Slap!" Yamabuki Chidori slapped her thigh hard. "A new business opportunity has emerged! Let's sell cotton-padded coats and thermal underwear for winter! No, thermal underwear isn't enough, it has to be cotton-padded pants, the kind stuffed with two pounds of cotton."

Unohana and Ōtōgawa Utsugi both looked at Yamabuki Chidori, wondering what kind of trouble he was up to now.

After finishing her meal, Yamabuki Chidori found Shūtara Senjumaru and told him about her ideas.

"Cotton-padded pants??? Two pounds of cotton? Hmm... these things would definitely look terrible, wouldn't they? Girls wouldn't like them either," Shūtara Senjumaru said with a helpless expression.

Yamabuki Chidori slammed her fist down. "It doesn't matter if it looks good or not, the important thing is that it's warm! Who can resist a two-pound pair of cotton-padded trousers in the dead of winter? Let's make some and see, we won't lose anything anyway."

Shūtara Senjumaru couldn't refuse Yamabuki Chidori, after all, Yamabuki Chidori was her boss, so she could only make the first pair of cotton pants in Soul Society according to Yamabuki Chidori's design.

Adding two pounds of cotton to the cotton-padded pants completely ruins their aesthetic appeal, leaving only practicality.

Shūtara Senjumaru couldn't believe that he had made something so ugly.

"It doesn't matter if the items are ugly, don't forget we have the strongest mascot girl." Yamabuki Chidori thought of Saitō Fubōfu.

Anyway, whatever new products come out, just make sure Saitō Fubōfu wears them. As the Captain the Sixth Division, Saitō Fubōfu is very popular.

This popularity alone can drive a huge wave of sales.

He brought the finished cotton trousers to Saitō Fubōfu.

Saitō Fubōfu, immediately became wary upon seeing Yamabuki Chidori.

"What kind of weird clothes do you want me to wear this time?" Saitō Fubōfu asked nervously.

Chapter 248: Extreme Rusticity is Trendy

It seems that Saitō Fubōfu has given him a psychological trauma from his own actions.

That's right. The first time it was a maid outfit, the second time it was a swimsuit, and who knows what the third time will be.

Yamabuki Chidori leaned closer with a grin. "Look at what you're saying, it really hurts my feelings! I'm only doing this for your own good, look what good things I brought you!"

Yamabuki Chidori took out her cotton-padded trousers from her bundle.

"Come on, put this on and let me see!"

Saitō Fubōfu one, looked at the cotton pants with suspicion. They were green and looked quite vibrant.

"This is a coat specially made for winter. To keep it warm, we've added two pounds of cotton inside. I guarantee you won't feel cold anymore once you put it on. Hurry up and try it on!" Yamabuki Chidori urged.

Saitō Fubōfu, noticed that this time the clothes weren't anything strange. After a moment's hesitation, he put on the green cotton-padded trousers and walked out. It has to be said that wearing cotton-padded trousers in this weather was quite warm.

Saitō Fubōfu, exclaimed in surprise, "Although this outfit is ugly, it's guaranteed to keep you warm when you wear it!"

"I told you I was doing this for your own good. With such a deep friendship between us, how could I possibly cheat you? I'm even planning to launch matching clothes and hats, and you'll be the mascot for them. Everyone, come and support us!" Yamabuki Chidori said to the nearby team members.

People are used to the Chief Strategist's blatant advertising, and the clothes launched by Yamabuki Apparel Store are of high quality and trendy, and are loved by everyone. I didn't expect them to be highlighting new clothes in winter.

The team members told their friends about it and made plans to go together.

After work, Saitō Fubōfu was taken to the clothing store by Yamabuki Chidori. By then, Shūtara Senjumaru had already made the other three cotton-padded coats according to Yamabuki Chidori's requirements.

They were a Red Cotton Jacket, a dog-skin hat, and thick-soled cotton shoes.

"Hurry up and try it on! It'll be so trendy!" Yamabuki Chidori tried to suppress a laugh.

Saitō Fubōfu, noticed that this outfit was relatively normal compared to the previous two, so he obediently changed into the suit.

Red Cotton Jacket, green cotton-padded trousers, dog-skin hat, and big cotton-padded shoes!

After this whole ordeal, the Captain the Sixth Division of the Gotei 13 instantly transformed into a village bumpkin.

What? You're saying this outfit is tacky?

That's where your lack of understanding comes in; as the saying goes, being tacky to the extreme is actually trendy.

Am I right, Bao'er?

In addition, while it's true that clothes look good, the person wearing them is the most important factor.

There's a girl who's just as beautiful as Xi Shi and Xishi Diao Chan; no matter what she wears, she looks stunning.

If someone looks like Dongshi famous Chinese ugly woman), even if you gathered all the world's best fashion designers together, you still wouldn't find a single outfit that matches her.

As for Saitō Fubōfu...

She was indeed a bit trendy, but besides, she was also very beautiful. Even if her temperament changed from the Captain to Cuihua, she would still be considered the village beauty.

"It's decided, you'll wear this outfit to attract customers tomorrow! I'm sure it will sell like hotcakes!" Yamabuki Chidori patted Saitō Fubōfu's shoulder.

Anyone who has lived in the north knows that snow in October doesn't last; it melts as it falls, causing temperatures to drop rapidly. In just one night, even the dead are frozen to a crisp after venturing out.

Those from well-off families naturally have clothes to wear in winter, but most members of the Gotei 13 come from Rukongai, where they struggle to make ends meet, let alone have winter clothes.

At this critical moment, a bombshell announcement came: Yamabuki Apparel Store launched its latest winter clothing line.

In no time, the doorstep of Yamabuki Apparel Store was practically worn down by everyone.

The combination of Red Cotton Jacket and green cotton-padded pants may look a bit strange, but the outfit is warm and cheap, and the Captain of the Sixth Division is there as a poster girl.

"Captain Saito looks a bit strange in this outfit... but he's so cute!" one of the male team members said to his companion.

To highlight Saitō Fubōfu, Yamabuki Chidori even made her a pair of Hand Muff.

This is a piece of gear specifically designed for winter. It resembles gloves, but only has the palm and thumb. When worn, it looks like a crab's Hand Muff.

Crab Princess is so cute, how could you Crab Princess?

For a time, the entire Seireitei was caught in a cycle of Red Cotton Jacket and green cotton-padded trousers, looking incredibly tacky!

However, since the members of the Gotei 13 are always ready for battle, wearing Hand Muff, so Yamabuki Chidori did not promote this product.

Another month passed, and several freezing rains fell from the sky.

The water droplets fell from the sky as rain, but they froze on the ground. In early December, the first heavy snow arrived.

The heavy snow lasted for three days and three nights.

The snow was a full two feet deep, and the children were playing happily in it. However, the Gotei 13 at this time, because they knew that the time for that Blood War was getting closer and closer, and they had to be more careful at this time.

Even with the heavy snowfall, the Captain of each squad remained vigilant, leading their teams on patrols through the snow.

Another month of peaceful days passed, and the New Year arrived.

This New Year was dull and lifeless.

The day of the Soul King's prophecy had arrived, and the great battle could break out at any moment. The Captain secretly gathered for a small get-together, drank some wine, and that was how they passed the year.

An invisible pressure lingered over Seireitei.

Everyone knew that this fierce battle was unavoidable.

Many people will fall.

Hueco Mundo, underground.

To evade the Grim Reaper's pursuit, the Quincy have been hiding underground for half a year. During this time, they have endured all sorts of hardships and lived a life of utter darkness. The lower-ranking Quincy have become increasingly dissatisfied with this life.

After all, most people follow their boss not to realize the boss's dreams, but to secure a better future for themselves.

Even if Yhwach All-Knowing All-Powerful, he could not control people's hearts. The Wandenreich may seem vast, but how many people are truly of one mind with him?

Even during these six months, some lower-ranking clerks tried to escape the palace, only to be ruthlessly suppressed by Mardon.

Until this day!

Yhwach's voice echoed in the hearts of all Quincy.

His Majesty has awakened.

The man who could lead the Quincy to victory has finally awakened.

Mardon and the members of the Sternritter arrived at His Majesty's room immediately.

Yhwach's eyes were calm, as if he could see through the past and the future.

"Why... are there a few members missing from the Sternritter?" Yhwach asked in a deep voice.

A chill ran down everyone's spine.

Chapter 249: Yhwach Awakens

Yhwach could control the future, but he couldn't see the past.

Mardon knelt on the ground and explained, "During Your Majesty's slumber, many things happened. Our palace was discovered by the Grim Reapers, and a great battle ensued. Without Your Majesty, we were no match for those Grim Reapers. The palace was also relocated twice, and now we are underground in Hueco Mundo. Several members of the Sternritter ... including my sister, have perished in the battle."

Yhwach's eyes remained completely still.
