Shiraishi used the Steel Tempest back to the mountainside where Soi Fon was located.
The speed of the Steel Tempest, when upgraded to level four, becomes even faster, while the Reiatsu consumption decreases.
He landed halfway up the mountain.
Beneath the shade of the trees, besides the petite, Soi Fon, there was also a figure with long hair reaching her waist.
" Unohana," he called out, not surprised by her arrival. Even Kūkaku Shiba could sense Nnoitra's Reiatsu, so there was no reason for this person to ignore it.
He was puzzled by the absence of Isane Kotetsu. "Didn't Kotetsu come?"
"I told her to go to the base and see if there were any other injured people."
Retsu Unohana replied simply, pulling down the Shihakushō of the Soi Fon to reveal her chest stained with blood.
The exposed flesh and blood, the barely visible white bones, were enough to kill any interest from men.
The reason I say "almost" is because men's interests are quite broad; lizards, cats, and pigs can all be included in their momentary whims.
Men who are interested in women covered in blood and gore certainly exist.
Shiraishi wasn't the type to have any particular fetishes, so he didn't actively approach to check on her. Instead, he asked from a distance, "Is she alright?"
"I'm on vacation, and I didn't bring any herbs to stop bleeding or heal wounds."
Retsu Unohana sounded somewhat troubled; who would have thought that taking a proper vacation would lead to such a troublesome situation?
Shiraishi panicked and asked, "What should we do?"
Retsu Unohana sighed, "Only by using the Kaidō can she be completely healed."
"..."
Shiraishi was speechless.
Good heavens, if medicine doesn't work, then just cure the patient directly. This kind of Versailles-like statement is probably only something this person could say.
"If people don't understand the pain of battle, they will become eager to pursue it and despise it, which is a very dangerous thing."
Retsu Unohana has her reasons; in the past, she never used herbal medicine to treat patients and always cured them the fastest.
Then, the number of patients increased.
The soldiers, clinging to the dangerous notion that as long as Captain Unohana was alive, they could survive, ignored the risks of battle. Not only were they prone to injury, but their casualty rate remained high.
To end that situation, Retsu Unohana began using herbs to slowly heal the patients, letting them experience the pain of battle so they wouldn't be easily injured.
There's no other way this time.
Soi Fon's injuries are too severe; if he doesn't receive immediate treatment, he might really die.
Retsu Unohana reached out and placed her hand on the cracked "bun," and a bright green Kaidō light shone forth.
The gruesome wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, rivaling even the High-Speed Regeneration of the Void.
In the blink of an eye, the injury was healed.
She helped lift the Shihakushō, adjusting the collar to prevent any exposure of her cleavage. "When this person wakes up and asks if you were the one who treated him, please answer yes. Whatever you do, don't say my name. I don't want to be associated with Shinigami."
Retsu Unohana is very gentle, and fearing that Soi Fon would feel awkward, she deliberately chooses not to meet him.
After all, losing face in front of acquaintances and losing face in front of strangers are two completely different things.
The former makes you want to find a hole to crawl into and bury yourself alive, while the latter can be endured and will pass.
"No problem." Shiraishi nodded in agreement.
Retsu Unohana Shunpo to leave from here and head to the base to help Isane Kotetsu.
"Well..."
A soft groan was accompanied by a breath of hot air.
Soi Fon's Matsuge trembled slightly, and his drowsy mind gradually cleared. His Spiritual Sense could no longer detect the violent Reiatsu emanating from the void.
That guy actually won?
She was filled with surprise.
That Hollow possessed a strong fighting spirit and exaggerated strength; its hard shell would probably require her to activate her Bankai to break through it.
Soi Fon knew a little about Shiraishi's strength and knew he couldn't possibly defeat him.
Are you awake?
Hearing that annoying voice, Soi Fon slowly opened his eyes, weakly raising his head and asking, "Where's that Void?"
Shiraishi crossed his arms and said, "I took him down, haha, aren't I strong?"
"Nonsense."
Soi Fon was stubborn; rather than acknowledging his strength, he preferred to believe that the Hollow had left Soul Society on its own initiative.
In that case, she wouldn't be inferior to Shiraishi.
Her goal is to surpass all previous Second Division Captain; how could she possibly lose to a man who isn't even Shinigami?
Damn it, she has to become stronger.
No matter how stubborn you are, you can't fool your own heart.
"Fine, I won't argue with you about that. I want you to drop the pursuit on me and repay this life-saving debt."
Shiraishi made his demands: he saved Soi Fon partly because of Sui Feng's good looks, and partly because he wanted to use the life-saving grace to get rid of the Stealth Force's pursuit.
It is said that having connections in high places makes things easier.
Without even considering it, Suifeng Soi Fon refused, saying, "I can't do it."
Shiraishi emphasized, "I saved your life!"
"Let's keep things separate. At worst, I'll catch you later, kill myself, and repay you with my life, or you can change your mind now and just kill me."
Soi Fon closed her eyes, stretched her neck, and assumed a posture of offering her neck for execution. Her Reiatsu had not yet recovered, and she was in a weak state, so resistance would be of no use.
I might as well just give up and do whatever I want.
She would absolutely not agree to abandon the pursuit of Shiraishi and violate the principles of the Stealth Force.
Seeing her like this, Shiraishi knew that giving up the pursuit was out of the question. He wasn't angry, and gently advised, " Soi Fon, you probably don't want to die like this, do you?"
What do you want to do?
The unusually gentle tone made Soi Fon open his eyes, instinctively taking a step back and tightening his grip on the collar of his Shihakushō. "You can have my life, but I absolutely won't give you anything else."
Shiraishi rolled her eyes and said irritably, "What are you thinking? I'm not that kind of person. I just want you to come with me to the World of the Living for a whole day date. You provide the Gigai."
Soi Fon asked in confusion, "A date in the World of the Living?"
"Yes, a date means you spend the whole day with me, holding hands, kissing—these are essential activities. You don't need to take your clothes off to sleep."
After stating these requests, Shiraishi added, "In this way, you can consider it repayment for saving my life."
Soi Fon fell silent. If he hadn't lost his virginity, holding hands and kissing were just physical contact through Gigai, so they didn't really count...
"No, a kiss is not allowed, but a kiss on the cheek is acceptable."
She couldn't convince herself to kiss him, not even through the Gigai.
"... Okay, let's pretend it's like a first date for a couple."
Shiraishi was a little disappointed, but he didn't force the issue; he just wanted to experience what it was like to go on a date.
I've never tried this before.
I went to amusement Paradise, parks, ice rinks, and various scenic spots with my girlfriend.
Thinking about it this way, Shiraishi suddenly became excited, "When are we going?"
" The Gigai needs to be provided by the Research and Development Institute, and I also need to apply for permission from the Captain-Commander when I go to the World of the Living."
Soi Fon muttered to himself, calculating the time, "At the earliest, half a month."
"Half a month?!"
Shiraishi really wanted to complain about this ridiculous work efficiency, but then he thought, "Isn't this just basic procedure?" "Okay, I'll be waiting for you here in two weeks."
"Hmm." Soi Fon responded, his Reiatsu recovering somewhat. He stood up and said, "I'll go back first."
"Goodbye." Shiraishi waved, her heart filled with anticipation for their date in two weeks. After thinking for a long time, her thoughts drifted back to Aizen, wondering if he had his eye on her, and hoping so.
In that case, there should be more Espada coming to our door.
