I Can't Believe I'm This Cute / Being Happy Is What Matters Most...

Yamabuki Chidori slowly opened her eyes. Unohana was looking at her worriedly. The fusion of the Hollow Power was an unprecedented event, and no one knew what mistakes might occur.

Yamabuki Chidori touched her face to make sure she wasn't wearing a mask before saying with relief, "It's alright. I just talked to the ethereal soul inside me. All I need to do is give her a good beating and let her know who the real boss is."

But Unohana's worried expression didn't disappear; instead, she seemed even more anxious. Yamabuki Chidori couldn't understand why Unohana show such an expression. Suddenly, a small foot stepped on the back of his head, and at the same time, Hollow Spirit voice came. "Who do you think should get a good beating?"

Yamabuki Chidori's first thought was, "Barefoot is the best!" Then she realized, why was the Hollow Spirit outside? Wasn't she a part of her own soul? Theoretically, she should only appear in her own Inner World, but...

Yamabuki Chidori slowly turned around and saw Hollow Spirit waiting for her expressionlessly. Sure enough, her fair and tender little feet weren't wearing the Black Silk Stockings that Yamabuki Chidori liked the most. But that didn't matter. For such a cute girl, bare feet were enough, and even more so, they showed off her charm.

Wait a minute, the Hollow Spirit is part of my soul, so doesn't that mean I'm stepping on myself? This feeling is so strange! No wonder Unohana was looking at me so strangely.

She must have witnessed the entire process of the Hollow Spirit splitting off from her body; it was even more bizarre than a woman giving birth.

Yamabuki Chidori reached out and pinched the Hollow Spirit's cheek. "Stop causing trouble, go back now. You are a part of my soul, without you I am an incomplete person."

The Hollow Spirit, clutching its Pumpkin Lantern, snorted, "You haven't completely resolved your Hollowfication issue yet. I'll temporarily split your Hollowfication power apart. Once you can fully control this power, I can go back."

The Hollow Spirit being raised its Pumpkin Lantern, and under the eerie light, a gigantic phantom appeared in the underground training ground.

Unohana hurriedly drew her sword, Yamabuki Chidori reached out and pressed Unohana down. This Hollow was also part of her body, and if it were killed, who knew what changes would occur to her body? So the best thing to do now was to wait and see. According to Hollow Spirit, to completely control the Hollow Power, one must control one's negative emotions.

But this isn't something you can control just because you want to!

Moreover, the phantom that emerged from my body was very strange. It didn't seem to exist in this world, but rather in a parallel world. Normally, even Yamabuki Chidori couldn't see it. It could only be seen when the light from the Pumpkin Lantern shone on it.

"It's so stuffy here, I want to go out and play," the Hollow Spirit said.

"Don't be so picky, you're just a soul split off from my body. You stay here for now, and once I figure out how to deal with the Hollow Power, we'll merge again," Yamabuki Chidori said.

Although the little girl was incredibly cute, Yamabuki Chidori still felt very uneasy looking at this little girl who had split off from her own body.

It's like facing a clone of yourself.

However, the Hollow Spirit only took a few minutes to win over Unohana. Although their personalities are different, the Hollow Spirit and Yamabuki Chidori are from the same source after all. The two even have the same memories and like the same things, such as gentle older sisters.

I don't know if this counts as NTR (Netorare, a form of sexual assault) in person.

"Yamabuki, let's keep this child for now, isn't she adorable?" Unohana said with a smile.

Yamabuki Chidori had no other choice but to temporarily support her until the Hollow Power was completely resolved. I'll support myself, awesome.

Suddenly, Yamabuki Chidori remembered a detail and asked, "Hollow Spirit, you just said that when you came out, it was a result of unanimous agreement among the four of you? You're one, Little White is one, and Little Red is one, so who's the last one? Could it be this big guy behind you? Or... do I have another split soul, representing the power of the Quincy?"

"Yes, there is indeed another power representing the Quincy." The Hollow Spirit readily admitted it, since it wasn't some secret that couldn't be told.

Are these four people playing mahjong inside my body? They didn't even include me, that's ridiculous!

"I'm hungry, I want to eat," the Hollow Spirit said.

"Go cook for yourself, don't play the victim in front of me," Yamabuki Chidori said without a shred of pity.

Hollow Spirit stared at Yamabuki Chidori with her big, watery eyes. Although Yamabuki Chidori knew that this girl was deliberately trying to be cute, she couldn't resist in the end.

I'm so cute, it's outrageous!

"Okay, what would you like to eat?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

"Manchu Han Imperial Feast"

Yamabuki Chidori grabbed the Hollow Spirit by the neck and threw it out the door.

"A Manchu Han Imperial Feast? Go out and work to earn money. Our family never supports idlers."

But as soon as he turned around, the Hollow Spirit returned to the side of the Yamabuki Chidori, still holding her Pumpkin Lantern, and gave a soft "humph".

"If I'm unhappy, the Hollow Power might go berserk. You need to think carefully," the Hollow Spirit said. "Although I don't know exactly how strong this child is, he's certainly not weaker than Coyote Starrk or Baraggan."

As the light from the Pumpkin Lantern shone, the Tyrannosaurus Rex Hollow appeared in the room.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex Hollow seems to reside in a strange space, and the light from the Pumpkin Lantern is the medium that summons it.

What sins did I commit in my past life to deserve such a terrible ancestor?

"We don't have the Manchu Han Imperial Feast, how about stewed potatoes with meat?" Yamabuki Chidori asked expressionlessly.

"Okay." Hollow Spirit readily agreed, but Yamabuki Chidori suspected that she was trying to trick her.

"Don't make that face. You still have six months, right? I'll teach you how to increase your power." The Hollow Spirit said, "Increasing Reiatsu can only improve the abilities of a Shinigami, but the abilities of Hollows and Quincy are not so easy to improve. I think you've already realized that."

Yamabuki Chidori stared at the Hollow Spirit. The Void's strength was not improved by training, but by devouring. By constantly devouring its own kind, the Void's Reiatsu would continuously increase.

While Quincy's abilities can be improved through training, the improvement is quite limited.

The Sternritter so powerful because they possess the Schrift bestowed upon Yhwach. Without the Schrift and the Perfect Sanctification, an ordinary Quincy at best be only at the level of Uryu Ishida.

Think carefully about the Quincy's various abilities: devouring Reishi, controlling Reishi, and seizing what they possess.

But ultimately, they all point to one ability: plunder.

"You're not going to make me devour a Hollow, are you?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

"Smart, you got it right."

Chapter 200: Happiness is the Most Important Thing

"The reason you can't fully control the Hollow Power right now is because the Shinigami and Quincy powers within you were stronger before. But after the previous battle, your Hollow Power has fully awakened. In the future, you only have two paths to choose from: one is to maintain a balance between these three powers, like the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu. The second is to completely fuse these three powers. The Soul King and the future Kurosaki Ichigo both chose this path," the Hollow Spirit said. "At the same time, the rampage of Hollow power is related to fluctuations in negative emotions. You should remember when Kurosaki Ichigo first Complete Hollowfication."

Yamabuki Chidori is quite familiar with the Bleach storyline. Kurosaki Ichigo only truly became Hollowfication once, during his battle with Ulquiorra, when he awakened his Bull-headed Hollow.

That battle, while the two sides may not have been at their strongest at the time, was definitely the most desperate battle for Kurosaki Ichigo.

Despite her best efforts, she still couldn't reach Ulquiorra's edge, and Ulquiorra's first form was already enough to completely defeat Kurosaki Ichigo. In order to make Kurosaki Ichigo completely despair, she even showed her Segunda Etapa and killed Kurosaki Ichigo in front of Orihime Inoue.

Despair reached its peak; his beloved girl's life was threatened; everything collapsed!

The Hollow Power also reached its peak at that time. Kurosaki Ichigo completely Hollowfication and displayed power far exceeding his usual level.

The same goes for Yamabuki Chidori. She was poisoned, her internal organs melted, and she was being tortured to the point of unbearable pain while in a state of Super Regeneration. When her mind completely collapsed, the Hollow Power took over.

"So, to completely control the Hollow Power, the first thing is to learn to control your emotions. Even if your best friend is killed or your beloved woman dies in front of you, you must remain calm. Can you do that?" the Hollow Spirit asked.

"I can't do it," Yamabuki Chidori said readily; he truly couldn't.

"I knew it. Then let's start with the basics. Overcome fear." The Hollow Spirit's lips curled into a mysterious smile, making Yamabuki Chidori very uneasy. What exactly was this girl up to?

"Don't worry, we're one person. I know best what you're most afraid of. We'll meet at the underground training ground at eight o'clock tonight, okay?" The Hollow Spirit laughed and ran out of the room, "I haven't explored the Seireitei by myself yet. I'm going to have some fun. You can continue your miserable work! The kind without pay, bye!"

"Hey, hey, hey, come back! Don't run around!" Yamabuki Chidori hurriedly chased after her, but it was too late.

Now, Yamabuki Chidori just hopes this girl won't cause any trouble.

The issue of Hollowfication is temporarily resolved. As for a way to completely resolve Hollowfication, Yamabuki Chidori decisively chose to fuse the three powers.

In the world of Bleach, the diversity of bloodlines represents absolute strength, and I can be considered to have benefited from the version update.

Yamabuki Chidori staggered toward the First Division, casually informing the Captain Commander that her business was finished. As soon as she pushed open the door to the First Division Barracks, she saw Hollow Spirit sitting opposite the Captain Commander, drinking tea.

"... Why are you here? Get home right now!" Yamabuki Chidori shouted, carrying the Hollow Spirit.

The Captain Commander actually likes children, but he usually appears very strict in order to maintain his authority Captain Commander.

"Yamabuki, who is this person to you? You two have the exact same Reiatsu," the Captain Commander said with a smile.

Chōjirō Sasakibe also looked at the Hollow Spirit with excitement, but his focus was different. He was focused on the Hollow Spirit's clothes, which were completely different from the Kimono worn in Soul Society.

"This child... how should I put it?" Yamabuki Chidori looked troubled.

The Hollow Spirit made a face, then turned and ran away. Yamabuki Chidori looked helpless and could only give a brief account of what had happened.

Chōjirō Sasakibe was stunned. How could this be? His brother Yamabuki could actually split such a cute girl from his own soul!

"The Hollow Power?" The Old Man remained silent. Yamabuki Chidori was definitely an anomaly, possessing three completely different powers. If it weren't for his support, the Central 46 would have already jumped out to condemn her.

Now, those guys in the Central 46 have changed their strategy. If I can't beat you, I can at least verbally attack you! When it comes to insults, we're all professional experts.

Furthermore, the power of public opinion should not be underestimated. If a person's mind is not strong enough, it is not impossible for them to be criticized to the point of developing depression.

"What do you plan to do with this child?" the Captain Commander asked.

Yamabuki Chidori knew that the Hollow Spirit would eventually return to her body, and that the time for their return and fusion would be when she could fully control the Hollow Power.

He must completely integrate the three powers he controls.

"If only I had a Hogyoku, "Yamabuki Chidori thought silently.

Unfortunately, the technology of this era was limited, and there were no geniuses like Aizen and Kisuke Urahara, making it almost impossible to develop the Hogyoku.

Yamabuki Chidori and the Captain Commander talked until night, but although the Captain Commander was recognized as the Strongest Shinigami, he was still just the Strongest Shinigami and had no good suggestions on fusing the three powers. Yamabuki Chidori could only go home and discuss it further.

As soon as Yamabuki Chidori opened the door, she saw blood everywhere in the room. Unohana was lying in a pool of blood, her whole body covered in crimson, with a knife stuck in her chest.

Yamabuki Chidori was startled. She cautiously walked over, then reached out and touched the blood on the ground, gently licking it. She then said to Unohana, "What a waste! So much ketchup."

Unohana opened her eyes. "That child said this would scare you."

"Nothing that can scare me exists in this world. Besides, you have too many flaws," Yamabuki Chidori said. "There's so much blood, but how is it possible that there's not a trace of blood in the air when you enter the room? I'm a battle-hardened person; I have that much common sense. And the blood on the ground has congealed. If it were really blood, it would have turned dark red by now, but the blood plasma on the ground is still bright red. It must be ketchup. You made it. You're in charge of cleaning it up later. Where's that brat?"

"I'll be waiting for you at the underground training ground." Unohana took off her coat with a bitter expression, wondering if the clothes she washed tonight would be dry by tomorrow.

Yamabuki Chidori went straight to the underground training ground, but as soon as he jumped down, the Hollow Spirit appeared above him with a wicked grin.

"We're the same person, and I know best what you're most afraid of. This is all for your own good!"

Behind the Hollow Spirit stood another person, none other than Gotei 13, the Captain the Thirteenth Division the Sakurane Saizo 13.

That old Old Man is wicked; he's been looking for a chance to get revenge on Yamabuki Chidori, and today he finally found his opportunity.

Chapter 201: If I am guilty, please let the law punish me.

Yamabuki Chidori lightly jumped down to the underground training ground, only to find it completely dark. Who turned off the lights?

As soon as she landed, Yamabuki Chidori felt something sticky and soft under her feet, a sensation that was very uncomfortable.

Yamabuki Chidori hurriedly kicked it, and the things scattered. At the same time, Yamabuki Chidori felt an itch on her face, and quickly reached out and pinched it, killing an insect. However, in the darkness, she didn't know what kind of insect she had killed.

What on earth is that brat Hollow Spirit up to? Yamabuki Chidori frowned. Just then, the door at the top of the underground training ground opened, and Hollow Spirit's voice came through.

"Yamabuki, we share common memories, and I know best what you're most afraid of. Do you remember when you were little, taking a nap at your grandma's house, and that giant centipede fell on your face?"

Of course, Yamabuki Chidori remembered that when she was a child, she went to her maternal grandmother's house in the countryside. It was a hot summer day, and Yamabuki Chidori bed). Suddenly, a 20-centimeter-long centipede fell directly from the wall and landed squarely on the face of the six-year-old Yamabuki Chidori.

That was a lifelong psychological trauma; from then on, he would avoid any multi-legged insects.

For a legless snake, Yamabuki Chidori would at most feel disgusted and casually kill it. But facing a dense swarm of centipedes covered in legs, he felt a deep-seated fear. Wait, what kind of bug did I just crush? Yamabuki Chidori vaguely sensed that something was wrong. He stiffly touched the blood from the bug on his face, but he had used too much force and crushed the bug that had fallen on his face into a ball. Now he couldn't even tell what kind of bug it was.

The Hollow Spirit being above continued, "Remember, to control the Hollow Power, you must remain calm at all times and not let negative emotions take over. Good luck, I believe in you! Oh, and don't blame me for not helping you; you can borrow my Pumpkin Lantern, remember to return it to me later."

The Hollow Spirit tossed down its beloved Pumpkin Lantern from above, which Yamabuki Chidori hurriedly caught. Then, the door closed.

Yamabuki Chidori raised her Pumpkin Lantern and shone it around. Instantly, goosebumps rose all over her body. The ground of the underground training ground was covered with centipedes, each a foot long, layer upon layer, reaching half a foot high. She was also stepping on countless centipedes. Not only the ground, but also the walls and ceiling were crawling with all kinds of centipedes, big and small. A chill ran straight from the base of Yamabuki Chidori's tail to the top of her head.

A person's strength and their fearlessness are completely different things. A human's strength is far greater than that of a cockroach, yet how many women scream in terror at the sight of one? Everyone has their weaknesses, Yamabuki Chidori is no exception. Centipedes are what he fears, and now, the entire underground training ground has become a sea of centipedes. Yamabuki Chidori feels his sanity rapidly evaporating.

Snap!

A fat centipede fell onto Yamabuki Chidori's face, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Aaaaaah!!! The Goryū Tenmetsu!!!"

He had completely forgotten about where the Hollow Spirit had found so many centipedes; only one thought remained in his mind: to wipe out all these insects!

With a single strike, the Goryū Tenmetsu, turning a massive number of centipedes into dust. After unleashing her ultimate attack, Yamabuki Chidori hurriedly patted her clothes, fearing that the centipedes might crawl into them.

Little did he know that after he used the Goryū Tenmetsu destroy a large number of centipedes, the Sakurane Saizo above him chuckled and brought down even more centipedes, then high-fived the Hollow Spirit.

This kid doesn't know what it means to respect the elderly and care for the young; I'll make sure he suffers the consequences.

Opportunities for legitimate revenge are rare, Sakurane Saizo seized this one perfectly.

After finally eliminating a wave of centipedes, Yamabuki Chidori suddenly felt an itch on her neck. She reached down and touched it, only to find a large, fat centipede leisurely crawling on her neck!

"..." Yamabuki Chidori felt that his rationality had vanished, and the light of the Pumpkin Lantern gave him one of the few remaining feelings of security.

The unseen darkness was filled with the rustling sound of insects crawling. Yamabuki Chidori trembled all over as more and more centipedes fell from the ceiling onto him.

When his sanity collapses, the Hollow Power hidden within his body is activated, and white liquid begins to ooze from his eyes, nose, ears, and even mouth. This liquid condenses on Yamabuki Chidori's face, forming a bizarre mask.

Complete Hollowfication!
