The Shinigami in the Unforgiven, Chapter 56: Uryū Ishida Never Gets Involved with Women, Silbern, Second Floor.
Inside Bambietta's bedroom, the Sternritter's tea party was being held as usual.
Bambietta blew on the steaming tea and announced to the three of them with a serious expression, "I have something to tell you: I'm going to officially begin pursuing Uryū Ishida."
"Pfft, cough cough."
Candice spat out the entire cup of black tea she had just taken a sip, spilling it all over the white dining table, some even onto the floor. Her light green eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Are you kidding me?"
Bambietta nodded and said, "Yes, he is His Majesty's successor, the second emperor of the Wandenreich. He's so handsome, and his personality is gentle and considerate. He's a real gem."
"Bitch, don't talk nonsense when you're awake. With your past behavior, you still want to pursue someone?"
Liltotto ate her lollipop while unleashing her sharp tongue.
Her mouth can stretch, like rubber, so she can talk while eating snacks.
"Waaah," Bambietta sobbed, slumping onto the table. "Oh, I didn't want that either!"
" Liltotto, just shut up."
Candice first scolded a sharp-tongued girl, then comforted her, saying, "It's okay, if you want to pursue him, then try your best to do so."
"Really? Little Candi, will you support me unconditionally?"
Bambietta quietly moved to her side, grasped her right arm with both hands, her head still bowed, choosing not to raise it, her voice choked with emotion.
"Mm." Candice nodded.
Bambietta stopped crying, looked up and said, "Is that so? Then I'm relieved. I'd have a real headache if Little Candi were to participate in the competition."
"After all, someone as simple-minded as Candice is more likely to win Uryū Ishida's favor."
Liltotto then spoke a blunt truth.
Bambietta stood up, tossed her long hair behind her ear, and said confidently, " Liltotto, I say you're really too naive."
"A so-called innocent mind can be faked with a little effort, especially for a beauty like me. A few tears and a repentant expression, Uryū will forgive my past actions."
Liltotto retorted without hesitation, "You can't fake your bitch body."
"That's incredibly rude of you. I haven't killed many people in a year, and this place is a beautiful, auspicious spot."
Bambietta retorted, then added smugly, "All I need to do is make up an excuse that I accidentally shattered that membrane during the fight, and he won't suspect anything. Then I'll be the original, pure girl again!"
Goodbye, I'm going to have dinner with my darling~
"Ugh, I feel like throwing up." Liltotto clutched her stomach, making a disgusted expression.
Even after years of getting to know each other, she genuinely felt uncomfortable with Bambietta's bitchy behavior and her oblivious remarks.
The existence of this girl group is partly due to the presence of Candice, the idiot everyone can bully, and Bambietta, the bitch everyone can despise.
" Candice, are you really going to hand over Uryū Ishida to this scheming bitch?"
"Hey, but I'm not that close to that guy!"
Candice looked completely bewildered.
Liltotto said, speechless, "Why do you help him train from time to time if you don't know him well?"
Candice scratched her long, grass-green hair and said, "He asked me for help."
Giselle had been silent all along, finally came to her senses and spread her hands, saying, "It's because Little Candi is kind-hearted and never refuses anyone's request."
"Stop nagging! Who's being kind? I just happened to be bored!"
Candice immediately bristled; she was adamant that she would not allow anyone to say that she was gentle and kind.
She's a very ruthless person!
Liltotto clicked her tongue, stretched out her lips, and swept all the food on her plate into her mouth, including the cakes from Bambietta across from her. "Hmm, none of my business. I'm going to find Gremmy. You guys enjoy your food."
" Gremmy? When was that guy released?"
Candice looked surprised. If she remembered correctly, because the danger was too great, His Majesty had kept Gremmy in a cell where no one could see her.
Liltotto said with a somewhat relaxed tone, "They've been released for two days now. Before, His Majesty was asleep, which is why Gremmy up."
Giselle casually remarked, "I think it would be better if that monster stayed locked up forever."
" Gigi, shut your stinking mouth."
Liltotto retorted, but didn't stay to argue, and strode out of the bedroom.
Giselle also stood up and said, "I should go find someone else."
Candice exclaimed in shock, "Hey, you have a boyfriend too?"
"... I guess so. In the end, only Little Candi is left here. Will you be lonely?"
"Ha, what nonsense are you talking about? I won't be lonely!"
"Candice retorted irritably."
Giselle smiled, stepped out of the bedroom, closed the door behind her, and the smile vanished instantly, replaced by a gloomy expression.
Bambietta... that's the woman he likes.
To get close to Bambietta, he even went so far as to dress as a woman and infiltrate the group, hoping that one day in the future...
Using his abilities, he turned Bambietta into a zombie, making him obey him forever and belong to him alone.
Giselle didn't mind that Bambietta was different from the other men she'd been with before—all insignificant nobodys who had been killed.
Uryū Ishida is different.
He would absolutely not allow Bambietta to marry the other person, so Little Candi would have to suffer the injustice.
We must make her feel lonely and start seeking emotional support beyond friendship.
And within the Sternritter, there was no one more suitable to place that hope in than Uryū Ishida.
After all, the Sternritter is a very cruel organization, with little sense of camaraderie; they are often lone wolves who do things their own way.
Among these people, Uryū Ishida's character is indeed very attractive.
Giselle used her Hirenkyaku to leave.
inside the house.
Candice looked at the unfinished black tea on the table, the uneaten snacks, and the empty surroundings.
She wouldn't admit it, but a feeling of loneliness welled up inside her.
Meninas McAllon is dead.
Her Majesty awoke, and everyone moved towards the future, seemingly leaving her behind.
I can't figure out which way to go.
She sat there, stunned, picked up her cup of black tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then stuffed the remaining cake and snacks into her mouth. "Fine, don't eat it then, I'll eat my fill. What a bunch of friends, forgetting their friends for the sake of pretty girls."
Candice angrily complained about their behavior, "Ahem."
He choked, then picked up the black tea again and gulped it down from the spout.
"Phew." She let out a heavy breath, stood up, cleaned the teacups on the table, and swept up the crumbs on the floor.
Silence always lingered around me.
She stormed out of the room, slamming the door shut behind her. The hallway outside was silent.
Where to go next?
Go back to sleep? It's too early.
Training and preparing for war? In such a short time, it's impossible to make any breakthroughs. On the contrary, it will only leave you exhausted, which is not conducive to the upcoming big battle.
The option of finding someone to hang out with is also eliminated.
Because Candice suddenly realized that without Meninas McAllon, without Liltotto, without Bambietta, and without Giselle, she couldn't find another friend to play with.
"Tch." She stomped her foot heavily, deciding to go see the scenery, find a quiet place, and enjoy the moonlight outside.
Martial God Asura
Candice swaggered forward, walking until she reached a spot where moonlight shone through a window.
A bench was placed against the wall.
Someone was sitting there quietly eating a bento box.
She paused slightly, thought for a moment, then continued walking and said, " Ishida, why are you here all alone?"
Uryū Ishida swallowed his food, a hint of helplessness appearing on his handsome, ascetic face. "It's quiet here, so that Bambietta won't be able to pontificate like that again."
"I'm not even her subordinate, yet she's arbitrarily issuing orders, making me do her laundry and pick out clothes. What she wants to wear is her business, what's it to me!"
Speaking of that woman, Uryū Ishida was genuinely annoyed; she was arrogant, conceited, and never reasoned with him.
If it weren't for his good temper, if it were Ichigo, he probably wouldn't have tolerated it and would have kicked him.
"..." Candice also empathized with Bambietta's willfulness.
Despite not being captain material, he always acts like one, and his lively energy is used to be capricious and cruel towards others, which is truly a headache.
However, at this moment, she still wanted to say a good word for her best friend to support her, "Actually, she has her good points too, for example..."
Uryū Ishida stared intently, waiting to hear what advantages he might offer.
Candice rummaged through her memories and stammered, "Beautiful, yes, she was beautiful, and had a great figure too."
That can hardly be called an advantage.
Uryū Ishida shook his head. He wasn't someone who cared about looks. "A woman's worth isn't judged by her appearance, but by her heart."
"You have a good personality."
"Huh?!" Candice looked shocked. Thinking of Liltotto's words and her promise to Bambietta, she quickly waved her hand in denial. "No way! How could someone with my fierce personality be associated with being nice?"
People who know me say I have a bad temper and are not to be trifled with!
"I used to judge people by their words, but after my mother talked to me, I realized that judging a person is not only about what they say, but more importantly, what they do."
Uryū Ishida's eyes showed a trace of memories. He remembered that when he was beaten on the head by Sister Kūkaku and cried when he was a child, he often complained to his mother, hoping that her mother would stop him.
What his mother said at that time left a deep impression on him.
"You're a lot like someone I know. She's also short-tempered, easily angered, and prone to Riot Games."
Hearing this, Candice asked curiously, "Who is she to you?"
"Nightmare."
Uryū Ishida had a dark expression on his face. Although Kūkaku sometimes cared about him and possessed a woman's gentleness.
But most of the time, he just Riot Games according to his own mood.
He, Ichigo, Ganju, and everyone in the village trembled under that man's iron fist.
Candice was a little angry. "I'm so sorry to have reminded you of that nightmare."
"Haha, you're not her. I think Candice is very gentle."
Uryū Ishida smiled, completely unaware of how effective that smile was at the girl, and then lowered his head to Shikai his bento.
He still needs to practice the Blut Vene and the Blut Arterie, and develop the ability of Schrift; he can't afford to delay for too long.
Candice clutched her chest, unsure why her heart was beating so fast, and then a chill ran down her spine.
She quickly turned around and saw a person with half their face showing at a distant intersection. The person's left eye was staring at them, and an ominous and profound Reiatsu emanated from them.
