The Unforgiven from Shinigami
Kensei Muguruma's message was quickly delivered to the Captain-Commander's desk.
It's after work hours, Shiraishi hasn't left the First Division's base. Under emergency wartime conditions, there's no way he could go home to sleep.
You can just sleep on the floor here.
He frowned slightly as he listened to the report from the Riteitai.
Since the start of the war, Kensei Muguruma was the first captain to be eliminated by the enemy, Mashiro Kuna also disappeared.
Well, a captain with such weak strength is indeed unlikely to last more than a few moves against the Sternritter.
Report from nearby residents provided by Shūhei Hisagi.
Shiraishi judged that they were the gluttonous Liltotto and the cross-dressing Giselle.
In that case, there's a high probability that Kensei Muguruma and Mashiro Kuna will become zombies.
Fortunately, once they turn into zombies, they should be able to use their own advanced technology.
He tapped his fingers on the table, making a decisive decision. "Notify the Director of the Research and Development Institute, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, to find a way to resolve Giselle's zombie abilities and rescue Captain Muguruma and Third Seat Kunan."
"Yes." The Riteitai members withdrew.
He thought for a moment, then decided the plan was a bit too risky, and called out, " Ichigo!"
"Mr. Shiraishi, what are your orders?"
Ichigo Kurosaki walked in from outside. He, too, did not go back to rest, but chose to stay with the First Division to block the attack of the Sternritter Shiraishi.
"Go to the Research and Development Institute and replace Seventh Division Sajin Komamura, who is stationed there. Have him join Mayuri Kurotsuchi and pursue Giselle and Liltotto."
[A book-reading app recommended to me by a friend I've known for ten years, Wild Fruit Reading! It's damn good! I use it to read aloud and listen to books while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download it here.]
Shiraishi thought about it and realized that Mayuri Kurotsuchi alone could handle Giselle, but with Liltotto added to the mix, they would inevitably be outmatched.
Just to be on the safe side, let Sajin Komamura follow.
That guy is tough and thick-skinned; he won't be killed in a short time if a fight breaks out. The commotion is enough to attract the other captains to come and provide support.
"Mr. Shiraishi, I'm leaving. What about here...?"
Ichigo Kurosaki looked somewhat hesitant.
Shiraishi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with the enemy."
"Yes." Ichigo Kurosaki and used Shunpo to leave.
Shiraishi rubbed his temples. Captain-Commander during wartime was incredibly stressful; even a slight miscalculation could turn the tide of battle against Shinigami.
"Sigh." He sighed, looking at the tired Hakuhō in his arms, a smile appearing on his face as he gently flicked his nose, "You slept soundly."
Hakuhō remained asleep, snoring away.
"I'd kill Yhwach just so you could sleep peacefully."
He read the name with a troubled expression; the feeling that whatever he thought could be seen by the enemy was absolutely terrible.
It's probably because he fears his power that he's hiding and waiting for a good opportunity.
What was the timing?
With me here, any Schutzstaffel who comes will die.
Unless you distract him.
Yhwach would definitely not harm Soi Fon and the others, but it's hard to say about the Schutzstaffel and the other Quincy.
Shiraishi pursed his lips, feeling annoyed and puzzled. What was Kisuke Urahara doing?
Despite being notified of the invasion by the Wandenreich, that person didn't react much, only replying with "I know."
Kisuke Urahara is in his research lab in Hueco Mundo, using specialized equipment to study the Reishi structure of the white sand in Hueco Mundo, hoping to reverse it into land.
" Urahara- san, why won't you let us go to our husband's place?"
Nelliel sat in the chair, swinging her long legs, looking utterly dejected.
Upon hearing that Soul Society was under attack, her first thought was to go and provide reinforcements to help Shiraishi fight off the Wandenreich.
Kisuke Urahara stopped him, saying the timing wasn't right, and that's why it's been delayed until now.
"When exactly are you referring to this 'opportune moment'?"
She asked, puffing out her cheeks.
Kisuke Urahara looked away from Shirasa, admiring her perseverance. She had been asking the same question for hours without stopping.
It seems I have no choice but to answer.
"The greatest help we can give to Soul Society is to do less or nothing at all in this war."
Nelliel frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
" The Schrift for Yhwach is A, and his power is the Almighty."
Kisuke Urahara explained to them, "Everything we do for him will become the future, appearing in his eyes."
Conversely, if we do nothing, we won't appear in his sight.
"Then what use are we?" Tier Harribel couldn't remain calm. After all that waiting, this was the utterly nonsensical reason she got?
"Of course it's useful. By not doing it, we can avoid causing further changes in the future."
Kisuke Urahara patiently explained, "Two years ago, no, I should say even earlier, I laid the key to turning the tide."
Now all we need to do is wait. If you send people over, a whole bunch of them will create a new future, which might disrupt my original plans. It's better to stay here quietly and wait for the results."
He had already learned about Yhwach and his omniscience and the Almighty from Sōken Ishida when he was planning to unite with the Wandenreich.
But that ability changed; it was Uryū Ishida.
All the Mixed-Blood Quincy in the world should have died, except for that one.
Kisuke Urahara believed that Uryū Ishida possessed a certain power that could render Yhwach's Auswählen ineffective.
Therefore, it can be concluded that Uryū Ishida is an ace up his sleeve against Yhwach.
What needed to be done has been done.
The next question is whether the Ishida father and son, after all these years away, have truly created Still Silver capable of rendering the Almighty ineffective.
Can Uryū Ishida's power influence the Almighty to some extent?
These are all unknowns.
He could only wait for the outcome.
In addition, the more you want to do something, the more likely you are to be caught by the Almighty.
Let's trust them.
Kisuke Urahara said, and continued his research.
Nelliel and Tier Harribel exchanged a glance, but neither spoke further.
Research and Development Institute.
Sajin Komamura sat upright in the courtyard outside the gate, moonlight spilling onto the ground and some of it onto his fur, his expression serious.
Huff, Ichigo Kurosaki landed ahead and said, " Captain Komamura, Mr. Shiraishi said I should take over your defense here. Please join Captain Kurotsuchi in tracking down the enemy."
"Yes, I have received the message."
Sajin Komamura's ears twitched, and his tall frame rose to his feet, saying, "This is a crucial communications location, and it also houses a group of Quincy and two Sternritter members. It cannot be lost."
"Hmm." Ichigo Kurosaki nodded, looking at his ears, a thought that was very inappropriate for this situation arose in his mind. He really wanted to touch that dog's head and see what the fur felt like.
Sajin Komamura, unaware of the impolite thoughts in his mind, vanished from the Shunpo.
Ichigo Kurosaki walked a few steps to the chair, turned around and sat down, staring blankly at the moon, thinking, "If only tonight could pass peacefully."
