Chapter Nine: The Honeymoon Begins / Chapter Ten: The One That Got Away, Ishida Oboro

The golden token given to Tsunayashiro Fūka is a token; as long as one holds the golden token, one can freely enter the Great Spirit Library Corridor and browse the books inside.

This is an incredible thing!

The Great Spirit Library Corridor records a million years of history from the birth of Soul Society to the present, including secrets that cannot be known to outsiders, such as the dismemberment of the Soul King by the Five Noble Clans.

Military force is certainly important, but knowledge is just as important. If I have time, I will definitely read some books.

After unwrapping all the gifts, Yamabuki Chidori went to the First Division and gave the leave request to the Captain Commander- Captain Commander, who put it away without even looking at it.

For the next month, Yamabuki Chidori had to figure out where to go for vacation; it wasn't easy to squeeze out a month's vacation from her Old Man.

"How about we go to the Human World?" Unohana said, "I've never been before!"

"Great! Last time we went on a mission and didn't have much fun. This time, let's have a blast for a whole month!" Yamabuki Chidori said happily. Now, she put everything else behind her and focused on having a wonderful honeymoon.

Before leaving, the two of them prepared Giglio, put Giglio on, and then came to the Human World through the Soul Gate.

In that era, there were no tourist attractions at all. Ordinary people struggled to make ends meet, and even the living standards of the wealthy were far inferior to those of later generations.

The only place worth visiting is the beach.

Yamabuki Chidori has never been to the beach before, so this is a good opportunity for her to go.

For this reason, Yamabuki Chidori specially prepared several swimsuits.

The Captain Commander handles all the big and small matters for the 11th Division. That Old Man spends his days drinking tea or practicing calligraphy, so let him know how hard we Captain work.

"Have fun." Saitō Fubōfu said goodbye to Unohana. After watching Unohana and Yamabuki Chidori disappear through the Soul Gate, Saitō Fubōfu muttered to himself, "I really want to go to the beach too, why doesn't anyone take me!"

And so, Yamabuki Chidori and Unohana's honeymoon began in Kyoto.

However, it seems that Kyoto is no different from what it was six months ago.

Chapter Nine: The Honeymoon Begins

On the streets of Kyoto.

A young couple is strolling.

The girl had a kind face and wore a gorgeous Kimono. Regardless of whether the material of the Kimono was precious, the craftsmanship was Human World that could not be made in this day and age.

Simply standing on the street attracts countless stares.

"Whose young lady is that? I don't think I've seen her before! She's so beautiful!"

The man held a thin pipe in his hand, made of silver, with a mouthpiece made of fine white jade.

But people on the street had a completely different opinion of him.

"Your kid stole your parent's pipe and is showing it off? These must be siblings from some noble family!"

"That makes sense, that makes sense! Should we go up and ask around? That way we can propose later?"

Yamabuki Chidori has excellent hearing. Hearing everyone say this, he was so angry that his teeth itched. Indeed, compared to Unohana, Yamabuki Chidori appears more immature in appearance and temperament. After all, he is not even nineteen years old this year, while Unohana has been famous for at least two hundred years.

The elegance sculpted by time is unmatched by anything else.

Unohana smiled and took her husband's hand, "Where should we go today?"

Kyoto is most famous for its hot springs and Buddhist temples. Since it's still early, why not visit a Buddhist temple?

Unohana smiled gently. "We're Grim Reapers, what are we doing at a Buddhist temple? Burning incense and praying? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

"I hope life will be peaceful and smooth in the future, and that nothing else will go wrong!" said Yamabuki Chidori.

However, Yamabuki Chidori knew that life in the future would definitely not be smooth sailing. Even if a major event like the invasion of the Wandenreich did not occur, there would certainly be many small troubles.

For example, several hundred years from now, Aizen Sōsuke, a genius hailed as a "god," will appear.

What should we do then?

Is it about preventing problems before they occur and nipping them in the bud?

Or should we train Aizen to become an unparalleled powerhouse surpassing even the original story?

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Yamabuki Chidori rubbed his temples. Just as he was about to take his wife to the Buddhist temple, he discovered that Unohana was nowhere to be seen. Looking up, he saw that Unohana had somehow wandered off to the side to join the fun. There were many girls there, snapping up some cheap trinkets.

"Why do girls like these little gadgets?" Yamabuki Chidori walked over slowly with her hands in her sleeves.

After this little incident, the two walked hand in hand to the largest temple in Kyoto.

Regardless of whether this temple is truly effective or not, it is undeniably impressive. Two enormous Vajra statues stand at the entrance, and worshippers come and go in droves, many of whom are there to exorcise evil spirits. According to these believers, the abbot of this temple is a highly powerful monk.

Yamabuki Chidori knew that ghosts and spirits existed in this world, but she didn't know if monsters actually existed. At this moment, curiosity overcame her reason, and she wanted to see how the temple's pillars exorcised demons.

Last time I came to Kyoto, I was on a mission and didn't have a chance to really enjoy myself. This time, I'm going to have a blast!

Unohana looked at her husband, whose curiosity was like a cat's, and smiled indulgently before entering the temple with Yamabuki Chidori.

Upon seeing a guest enter, a young novice monk immediately greets the guest, and Nong makes no attempt to conceal the fact that he is taking out a money box.

"Guest, as the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. This money is not a donation to us, but a donation to Buddha. We will use this money for good deeds. We are Monk, we do not lie! Please donate!" the Monk said with a smile.

The Monk beside him held three sticks of incense. "Guest, as the saying goes, sincerity brings results. How can you guarantee your sincerity? Of course, you should burn tall incense! This way, Buddha will surely be moved and your wishes will be fulfilled! One stick of incense costs one string of cash! How many sticks would you like?"

Yamabuki Chidori's face twitched. How could these monks be so shameless? Had their morals already caught up with that Red and White Priestess? But that Red and White Priestess could make me feel so good I couldn't breathe for just 100,000 yuan! Could you guys even do that?

At that moment, a woman carrying a child rushed into the temple. "Master, my child may be possessed by an evil spirit! He has had a fever since last night. Could the abbot exorcise the evil spirit from my child?"

Yamabuki Chidori glanced sideways and saw that the child's face was flushed, he was coughing incessantly, and occasionally opened his eyes with red and swollen eyelids. This was clearly a case of catching a cold, not possession by evil spirits.

Furthermore, Yamabuki Chidori didn't sense any other spirits.

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, please come this way, benefactor." Two Monk led the woman to the backyard.

"Should we go home and check on things?" Unohana asked softly.

"Of course we want it! Let's go!" Yamabuki Chidori and Unohana easily made their way to the backyard, avoiding everyone's gaze.

There was a small pavilion in the backyard, but because it was the dead of winter, the pavilion was covered with a layer of snow.

An old monk dressed in a black robe was sitting in the snow chanting scriptures.

"Master! Someone has asked you to exorcise evil spirits! Please take a look!" Two Monk, accompanied by a wife and child, appeared before the old monk.

"This way!" The old monk led the woman and child into the room.

"Master, this child has had a high fever since last night! Is he possessed by an evil spirit? You must save him!" The woman cried, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Don't panic! Let me see! Oh dear! This child is possessed by an evil spirit. If we don't exorcise it in time, his life will be in danger!" the old monk exclaimed in alarm.

Yamabuki Chidori's brow twitched. Was this what they called an enlightened monk?

Unohana whispered in his ear, "Let's see first!"

"Take off the child's clothes! I'm going to use magic to drive away the evil spirits!" The old monk took out a cloth bag from his clothes, which contained Silver Needle of various sizes.

Yamabuki Chidori frowned. Acupuncture?

Shijima Chiru is an expert in this field!

Yamabuki Chidori studied with Shijima Chiru for a few days. Acupuncture can be used to treat diseases, stop bleeding, improve breathing, relieve pain, and even stimulate acupoints to enhance one's strength.

The old monk wielded several Silver Needle with lightning speed, and within moments, the child's trembling body gradually stopped.

Then he turned around and took a paper package out of the room.

"Cook this stuff and give it to the child to drink. He'll be fine in four or five days! The child got cold while playing in the snow, which allowed the evil spirit to take advantage of his weakness. Remember to wear more clothes when playing in the snow in the future," the old monk muttered.

"If you want to thank me, donate more money for incense! The blogger will surely bless you!" The old monk clasped his hands together.

Yamabuki Chidori has a perception far beyond that of ordinary people; with just a light sniff, she knows that the package contains medicine for treating colds.

This old Monk was using the guise of exorcising demons to treat and save people.

Unohana smiled and said, "Isn't this great?"

Chapter 10: The One Who Escaped the Net, Ishida Oboro

The mother and son had just left when a Monk ran in. "Master, the general just sent someone. They said his daughter is possessed by an evil spirit and they need you to exorcise it!"

The old monk's brow twitched involuntarily; he knew perfectly well just how capable he was.

He was different from ordinary people from a young age, able to see things that ordinary people couldn't. His parents were afraid of this power, so they sent him to a temple. Unexpectedly, over time, the people around him believed that he had the ability to exorcise evil spirits.

Only the old Monk himself knew that he could only see ghosts, but did not have the power to exorcise them. Moreover, most people in this era who were "possessed by evil spirits" were actually suffering from serious illnesses. Over time, he himself developed medical skills.

But in the past, he only performed exorcisms for ordinary people, and even if he couldn't cure them, he could always excuse himself by saying that he wasn't capable enough.

But this time, the target of the exorcism is the general's daughter.

That person is the most powerful person under the Emperor; a single word from him can cost you your head.

If he refused to go, the general might just kill him.

The old monk could only hope that the princess was simply ill and hadn't actually encountered a real ghost.

"Go tell the general's men that I'm going there right now with my magical implements!" the old monk said, forcing himself to speak.

The Yamabuki Chidori and the Unohana were like they were watching a TV series, even cracking sunflower seeds on the rooftop.

"Shall we go take a look?" Unohana asked.

"Okay, let's go take a look," said Yamabuki Chidori.

The two men quietly followed him to the general's residence.

The old monk soon met the general, a bearded man in his fifties with a worried expression. Upon seeing the monk, the general warmly welcomed him, saying, "Master, you've worked hard! If you can save my daughter, I will reward you handsomely. If you cannot..."

At this point, a fierce glint flashed in the general's eyes.

Then you can be buried with my daughter.

The general's eyes conveyed this message to the old monk.

The old monk inwardly groaned. As the saying goes, a tall tree catches the wind. He had accumulated a lot of fame over the years, which had indeed brought considerable profits to the temple. But the truth would eventually come out.

The old monk arrived at the princess's room, and upon entering, he saw the room filled with resentment, and a completely black creature was crawling on the princess.

The old monk's hands trembled uncontrollably. He really wanted to turn around and run away, but if he did, not only would he lose his head, but the reputation he had painstakingly built up over the years would also be ruined, and the general might even take his anger out on his temple!

"Calm down! Calm down! Talk to him, maybe if you talk to him he'll leave the princess!" the old monk thought, trembling.

"Well... I don't know what your relationship with the princess is, but you've been pestering her like this..." Before the old monk could finish speaking, the dark thing twisted its head 180 degrees and glared at the old monk with a fierce look.

The old monk's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

"Buddha, protect me! Buddha, protect me! Buddha, protect me!" The old monk kept chanting scriptures, hoping that the Buddha he believed in would protect him, but unfortunately, there was no Buddha in this world.

The evil spirit staggered to its feet, grabbed the old monk by the neck, and threw him away.

Unohana whispered, "Should we make a move?"

With their combined strength, dealing with this evil spirit would be far too easy.

It's like one day the Victorious Fighting Buddha in the Western Heaven suddenly heard a female ghost named Chu Renmei, and then inquired about who Chu Renmei really was.

The Buddha found King Yama, King Yama then found the Judge, Judge found the Black and White Impermanence and Black and White Impermanence found the local City God. Only then did they realize that Chu Renmei was just a minor demon.

"Let's wait and see!" Yamabuki Chidori whispered.

The evil spirit before us is almost evolved into a void.

It was simply beyond the old Monk's ability to handle.

Just as the old monk was at a loss and didn't know what to do, a beam of blue light suddenly flew from afar and pierced through the evil spirit's chest. The evil spirit let out a miserable scream and completely disappeared.

Both Yamabuki Chidori and Unohana frowned simultaneously.

Because they were all too familiar with that blue light.

Quincy.

"I didn't expect there would still be some who slipped through the net!" Yamabuki Chidori sneered.

I don't even care about Yhwach, let alone these miscellaneous underlings.

The old monk kept chanting scriptures with his eyes closed, unaware that the evil spirit before him had already disappeared.

Hearing a commotion inside the room, the general rushed in with his men, only to find the old monk chanting sutras continuously, while his beloved daughter had already woken up.

"A venerable monk! Truly a venerable monk! My daughter! You've finally woken up! You scared your father to death! Venerable monk, I will definitely donate a large sum of money for incense oil this year, so don't worry." The general said very proudly. The old monk had no idea what had happened and had inexplicably won!
