What Kind of Fiend Are You? / I Think I've Been Duped

Currently, the strongest Vastolorde in Hueco Mundo has been captured by Yamabuki Chidori and taken to Soul Society for experiments.

The difference is self-evident.

Yamabuki Chidori strode over, carrying her Zanpakuto. The evil spirit seemed to sense the murderous aura emanating from Yamabuki Chidori and hurriedly cried out in a girl's voice to the middle-aged nobleman, "Father, save me! Don't let him get any closer!"

The middle-aged nobleman wept, saying, "Daughter, there's nothing your father can do."

Yamabuki Chidori grabbed her Zanpakuto and pressed the hilt against the girl's forehead. The soul of a very ugly middle-aged man flew out of the girl's body.

"So you're the one causing trouble here, aren't you?" Yamabuki Chidori said with a sinister smile.

"You are... Death... Lord Death? I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again!" The middle-aged man's soul trembled.

With his limited strength, he can only bully ordinary little girls; he can't even handle a strong-willed adult.

Yamabuki Chidori didn't want to waste any more words with him. She picked up her Zanpakuto and pressed it directly against his forehead, sending him straight to Soul Society. "Wait for you in the Gomukui District of the East Street 80."

The girl's body slumped to the ground. Yamabuki Chidori waited for her to return to her original form. A moment later, the girl woke up with a soft "whimper," but her monstrous appearance remained unchanged.

Yamabuki Chidori said with a serious expression, "Could it be that there's some other evil spirit associated with this girl's weight? Watch me drag it out!"

At this moment, the middle-aged nobleman stepped in front of his daughter. "Actually, this is what my daughter originally looked like. Look at her eyes; she has recovered now."

Yamabuki Chidori looked at this well-bred young lady, who was barely more beautiful than a monkey, with a strange expression.

Wait a minute! Wait a minute! The ideal ladies from respectable families are supposed to be beauties! Why is this one so ugly?

Am I opening it incorrectly?

How about this, young lady? I, the Grim Reaper, send you to be reincarnated again.

Chapter 164: What Kind of Demon is This?

The young lady in front of her completely shattered Yamabuki Chidori's the Visionary of being a "princess".

Indeed, in this era of Japan, even for the nobility, the nutrition was likely not as good as that of later generations.

To grow tall, strong, fair-skinned, and beautiful, genetics are one factor, but a high-protein diet is also very important.

Moreover, many noble families in ancient Japan had close relatives, so finding a beautiful young lady would be quite difficult.

Saitō Fubōfu, stroked Yamabuki Chidori's head, soothing the child's psychological trauma.

"Alright, stop being sad here. Don't forget why we're here," Saitō Fubōfu said.

Yamabuki Chidori wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "From now on, I will never believe in fairy tales again. All those princesses who are as beautiful as angels are lies."

"Yes! We're here to find the Quincy. Oh, by the way, you..." Yamabuki Chidori pointed at the middle-aged nobleman. "Have you seen a group of people wearing white robes? They all have such aloof expressions? And their appearances don't seem to be locals; they look more like they're from the West. Do you remember these people?"

The middle-aged nobleman pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Masters, I have never seen these people you are talking about."

Yeah, what kind of luck is that? Finding a clue right after arriving in the Human World?

Just as Yamabuki Chidori was about to leave, Kumohime walked over shyly and said, "Young master saved me, and I wish to repay you with my body. How about we consummate our marriage tonight?"

"Don't come any closer, you monster!!!" Yamabuki Chidori was so frightened that she immediately drew her sword.

He considered himself someone who didn't judge people by their appearance, but the woman in front of him... was probably only comparable to Hane Hane Chiyo Yamashita Ushio's former "fiancé".

Moreover, it's hard for Yamabuki Chidori not to be sure that the other party is lusting after his good looks.

Saitō Fubōfu and carefree, lay on the ground laughing so hard his stomach hurt.

"Yamabuki, he's really sincere. Why don't you just go for it? You can become a live-in son-in-law and live a life of comfort from now on." Saitō Fubōfu, is just enjoying the show.

Yamabuki Chidori glared at her and said, "When you go on blind dates later, I'll introduce you to someone even uglier than my second senior brother."

"Ahem, I'm a gentleman, how could I force an innocent girl to do something unspeakable to me at this time? Let's leave this matter here. Since you didn't see those people, let's leave and not bother them here," said Yamabuki Chidori.

Now that the person has been rescued and the money has been received, there's no point in staying here any longer. We might as well get down to business.

Watching the two old men leave, the middle-aged nobleman finally breathed a long sigh of relief. This could be considered a blessing in disguise, as his daughter had recovered no matter what.

Just when he thought Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu had left, Yamabuki Chidori suddenly flashed back. "I forgot to ask you, which exorcist are you looking for with all this gold and silver jewelry! They're so famous!"

The middle-aged nobleman hurriedly said, "I only heard that he is an exorcist from out of town who recently arrived in Kyoto. Rumor has it that this exorcist is not only very powerful but also charges exorbitant fees, which is why I brought these gold and silver jewels..."

"An exorcist from out of town?" Yamabuki Chidori pondered for a moment. "Tell us where that exorcist is, and we'll go take a look."

The middle-aged nobleman hurriedly told Yamabuki Chidori the address of the exorcist.

After recording these messages, Yamabuki Chidori left with Saitō Fubōfu.

"You don't really want to verify whether there are monsters in this world, do you? I can tell you very clearly that there aren't. Most so-called exorcists are just humans with relatively strong spiritual power who can see spirits and fight against vengeful spirits to some extent. Even if you just leave a fake demon in front of them, it would scare them so much they'd wet themselves." Saitō Fubōfu, kept rambling on.

Yamabuki Chidori beckoned to Saitō Fubōfu with her finger, beckoning her over. Saitō Fubōfu curiously leaned closer, only to receive a hard punch to the head.

"Can't you grasp the point? The point isn't the exorcist. The point is that this exorcist is an outsider, did you hear me? According to intelligence, those Quincy are also outsiders..." Yamabuki Chidori said.

Saitō Fubōfu, asked with a slightly skeptical tone, "So you suspect that the exorcist that nobleman mentioned is related to the Quincy we're looking for! It can't be that much of a coincidence!"

"Since we don't have any clues right now, why don't we go and take a look?" said Yamabuki Chidori.

Actually, he was just hoping for the best; he didn't know who the other person was, but since he was already there, he might as well go and see.

"However, there always needs to be a reason for a visit, just like someone is possessed by an evil spirit..." Yamabuki Chidori stared at Saitō Fubōfu with an unfriendly tone.

"Don't look at me! What kind of evil spirit would dare to cause me trouble?" Saitō Fubōfu hurriedly said.

Yamabuki Chidori revealed a devilish smile, "Me!"

Saitō Fubōfu, sensed something was wrong and turned to run, but was pulled back by Yamabuki Chidori: "This time, I'm asking you to play the innocent girl possessed by a lecherous middle-aged man's vengeful spirit!"

"Get out of here! You're the one who'll be haunted by the vengeful spirit of a lecherous middle-aged man!"

"In that case, let's settle this in the most primitive way! Let's have a fight!" In terms of fighting ability, no one in the entire Yamabuki Chidori Gotei 13 except the Captain Commander is his match.

Saitō Fubōfu, reluctantly takes on the role of the possessed girl.

Looking at the clear blue Yamabuki Chidori swears to the dark clouds that it is absolutely not a personal vendetta.

And so, the two of them arrived at the residence of the legendary exorcist.

Surprisingly, this legendary exorcist was actually a lady from a prominent family.

The mere mention of the phrase "a lady from a respectable family" gives Yamabuki Chidori a psychological scar. The oppressive aura emanating from that Kumohime was so overwhelming that she still feels lingering fear when she thinks about it.

The two men used the money they had stolen to buy themselves a nice set of clothes, so at least they looked like nobles.

Then I paid them a visit.

This was an extremely luxurious mansion. Two samurai wielding naginatas stood guard at the entrance. Upon seeing someone approaching, the two samurai crossed their swords to block the way. "Halt! Do you know where you are? Go back now!"

Yamabuki Chidori said earnestly, "I've heard that your esteemed young lady can exorcise demons and cure illnesses. My sister is possessed by an evil spirit, and I've come to beg your esteemed young lady to cure my sister's illness. Please make an exception!"

As he spoke, he slipped a piece of gold into the hands of each of the two warriors.

Chapter 165: I think I've been tricked.

The two warriors' eyes lit up when they saw the gold in their hands.

Although they served the nobility, in that era they could only obtain enough to eat and a little money.

After all, it's already difficult for ordinary people to have enough to eat in this era.

But this young man—no, this fat sheep—actually offered two pieces of gold right off the bat. What does that even mean?

That's enough to cover a family's expenses for several years.

"Ahem!" The two warriors exchanged a glance, discreetly pocketing the gold, and then said calmly, "Stand here and don't move. I'll go back and inform the young lady. If she's willing to see you, I'll take you inside."

Indeed, as the ancients said: Wealth can communicate with ghosts and also drive away gods.

The ancients were right.

"Make it look more convincing! Stop grinning like an idiot! Cry, act even more pitiful, that'll get people's sympathy," Yamabuki Chidori said to Saitō Fubōfu.

Saitō Fubōfu, said in a low voice, "I've never known how to cry since I was born! All I know is how to laugh! You made me dress like this, do you think I wanted to?"

Yamabuki Chidori sighed. Why are all these teammates so difficult to manage?

This world isn't just about fighting and killing; sometimes, acting skills are also essential.

Yamabuki Chidori extended her hand to Saitō Fubōfu and said, "By the way, I found something interesting when I came here earlier. Can you tell me what it is?"

Saitō Fubōfu, caught off guard, leaned his head closer, and Yamabuki Chidori suddenly opened her five fingers, smearing bright red chili powder directly onto Saitō Fubōfu's face.

"Ahhh! My eyes! My eyes!"

"Sister! What's wrong, sister! Cheer up! When is the young lady coming out? Look at my sister, she's in so much pain, she's about to die!" Yamabuki Chidori hugged Saitō Fubōfu Immortal, who was weeping uncontrollably.

"You just wait... I'll show you how I'll kill you when we get back from this mission!" Saitō Fubōfu spat out the words through clenched teeth as he wiped the chili powder from his eyes.

The samurai didn't see the scene of Yamabuki Chidori sprinkling chili powder; he only saw the girl suddenly cover her face with tears and sob painfully. He thought the girl's illness had relapsed and was filled with emotion.

"It's not easy to survive in this world!"

Just then, the samurai who had gone to report returned, "We've already asked the young lady, and she agrees to let you go for treatment. Follow me!"

Yamabuki Chidori raised an eyebrow. Success! I'm so clever!

And so, Saitō Fubōfu and Yamabuki Chidori entered the mansion and finally saw the legendary young lady.

The moment Yamabuki Kerita saw this young lady, her eyes lit up.

The young lady appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, snow-white skin, delicate and refined features, and a slender and graceful figure. She wore a heavy twelve-layered Kimono, exuding elegance and nobility.

This is the true model of a well-bred young lady! Look at that previous one! She was the complete opposite!

Upon seeing Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu, this young lady did not immediately begin treating Saitō Fubōfu's "injuries." Instead, she asked indifferently, "You all know the rules here, right?"

rule?

Yamabuki Chidori immediately thought of the box of jewelry and presented it with both hands. After all, it wasn't her own money, so she didn't care how she spent it.

The maid opened the box and saw the pearls, gems, and gold inside. The young lady nodded in satisfaction and then gestured for her servant to take the box away.

"Is this the little girl who's being possessed by an evil spirit? Let me see... She has no spirit attached to her, she's just sick. You shouldn't be here looking for me, you should be looking for a doctor. Show her out!" the young lady said arrogantly.

Yamabuki Chidori's heart stirred slightly. Of course he knew that Saitō Fubōfu, was not possessed by any evil spirit. Nonsense, what evil spirit would dare to possess a Shinigami? Especially the Captain of the Gotei 13? They could even skip the process of exorcism.

This young lady could tell at a glance that Saitō Fubōfu and not possessed by evil spirits, which meant that she had some ability, at least she could directly see spirits.

"Wait a minute? That's it? I spent so much money..." Yamabuki Chidori said.

"That's your problem. Show her out!" The young lady turned around without looking back.

Yamabuki Chidori suddenly felt like she'd been tricked!

I inexplicably lost a box of jewelry.

"Um, you..." Yamabuki Chidori wanted to say something more and spend more time with the other woman, but the young lady turned away coldly. "Don't be ungrateful. I already said, this woman isn't possessed by an evil spirit, she's just sick. Leave my mansion immediately. Butler, see her out!"

The butler beside him gestured for them to proceed.

Yamabuki Chidori's expression darkened. "What if I don't leave?"

The young lady suddenly turned around, and a Spirit Bow appeared out of thin air in her hand. She drew the bow and shot an arrow, which landed right in front of him.

The expressions of Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu instantly froze.

Spirit Bow? Quincy!!!

However, in just a brief moment, Yamabuki Chidori's face showed an "I see" expression.

"Who do we have here? It's Quincy from the west. What a mess!" Yamabuki Chidori stretched out his hand, and the same Spirit Bow appeared in his palm. "Don't be angry, we're the same kind."

This time, it was the young lady's turn to be surprised!

"Bow? So... cough cough, everyone step back!" At the young lady's command, all the servants nearby withdrew.

"You're Quincy too? I've never seen you before?" the young lady asked with a curious expression.

"I've never seen you before! Quincy are all from the west, so why do you have an Eastern face?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

After discovering that Yamabuki Chidori was of the same kind as herself, the young lady slowly lowered her guard. "My mother came from the far west, my father is a local, and I only recently awakened this power and was summoned by His Majesty."

Your Majesty? Yhwach!

"And you? I see you also have an Asian face. Are you in the same situation as me?" the young lady asked.

"Ahem, we can talk about that later. I came with the Captain, but I got separated from everyone during a mission. Could you tell me... which direction His Majesty's palace is in? I'd like to go and pay my respects to His Majesty," Yamabuki Chidori asked.

The young lady had already lowered her guard against him and was about to drink her tea when she heard the question. Her eyes sharpened instantly, and she stopped abruptly as she brought the teacup to her lips.
