"Where can you find true invincibility?!"
Shūsuke Amagai smiled dismissively after hearing Shunsui Kyōraku's words; he simply did not believe that true invincibility existed in this world.
The so-called invincibility is simply because the opponent of the invincible is too weak, which leads to an exaggeration...
Even Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, the legendary strongest Soul Reaper of the past thousand years, was far from being invincible in the eyes of Shūsuke Amagai.
Invincible...
"Hehe..."
Shūsuke Amagai smiled slightly. He didn't believe anyone could claim to be invincible in front of him, especially after he obtained a sword whose power far surpassed that of the Soul Reaper. There was absolutely no way that someone stronger than him could exist in this world...
"As long as everything proceeds according to my plan... even Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai will be like a pig or a sheep to be slaughtered before me, utterly meaningless..."
Shūsuke Amagai thought silently to himself that the power of his sword was naturally designed to counter Soul Reaper. As long as it was Soul Reaper's power, it would be unable to defeat him. When the time came, as long as he sealed Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai's Ryūjin Jakka and Sōgo Shihoin's Zanpakuto, he refused to believe that these two men, who were known as the strongest and invincible, could still turn the tables on him!
"Ultimately, the battles between Soul Reaper are nothing more than a clash between Zanpakuto. Without Zanpakuto Soul Reaper nothing..."
Shūsuke Amagai thought this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and for a moment, his confidence increased greatly.
Shūsuke Amagai was brimming with confidence! He felt he could do it, he was invincible! Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai and Sōgo Shihoin —once he sealed their Zanpakuto, they'd be two pieces of trash he could crush with a flick of his wrist! He was invincible!!!
He'll seal away Sōgo Shihoin's abilities then, and with a casual slide tackle...
"Hahaha... hahahaha... hahaha..."
Shūsuke Amagai burst into laughter, becoming happier and more excited the more he thought about it.
"How many dishes did you have? How did you get so drunk?"
Shunsui Kyōraku glanced at Shūsuke Amagai, who was laughing loudly beside him, his brow twitching slightly, somewhat speechless...
He originally thought that since this Shūsuke Amagai dared to invite him for drinks, he must have some capacity. He thought he could drink at least seven or eight bottles, if not a dozen. But clearly, he overestimated Shūsuke Amagai's alcohol tolerance. The other party was only half a glass away from being drunk, and one glass was enough to knock him out!
"With that kind of alcohol tolerance, you actually invited me out for drinks?!"
"Honestly... this makes drinking a bit unpleasant!"
Shunsui Kyōraku sighed helplessly, feeling frustrated by Shūsuke Amagai's disappointing performance.
"I can still drink! I can still..."
Shūsuke Amagai practiced drunken boxing, muttering to himself that he could drink ten more bottles.
"Look at you, so capable..."
Shunsui Kyōraku helped Shūsuke Amagai. He glanced at the sake pot on the table, feeling somewhat helpless. After all, they had come together, and he couldn't just leave the other person here unattended.
"Boss, the bill, please."
Shunsui Kyōraku first went to the front desk to pay the bill. Originally, this meal was supposed to be Shūsuke Amagai, but seeing Shūsuke Amagai's attitude, Shunsui Kyōraku didn't bother with it.
After Shunsui Kyōraku paid the bill at the front desk, he helped Shūsuke Amagai walk towards the Third Division.
As the captain of the Gotei Third Division Shūsuke Amagai, the Third Division was like home to Shūsuke Amagai. Shunsui Kyōraku sending Shūsuke Amagai Shūsuke Amagai to the Third Division was like sending him home; there was no difference.
"Is this our new captain?!"
In the Gotei Third Division, the members of the Third Division looked at the completely drunk Shūsuke Amagai, their eyes twitching, speechless.
When they first heard that the Captain-Commander would be sending them a new squad leader, they had fantasized about it and had a glimmer of hope for their new Third Division Captain. But when they saw Shūsuke Amagai Shūsuke Amagai, especially when Shunsui Kyōraku carried him into the Gotei Third Division, they were speechless... They didn't even know what kind of expression to use to face their new captain.
" Captain Kyōraku, thank you for your hard work in sending our squad leader. Now... leave the rest to me!"
Izuru Kira, with her long, golden hair that covered half her face, took her newly appointed captain off Shunsui Kyōraku's shoulders, carried Shūsuke Amagai, and walked into the Third Division's barracks.
"Oh dear~"
" Kira must be really tired."
Shunsui Kyōraku watched Kira Izuru, who looked utterly helpless and impatient, forced to obey the orders of the Soul Society's higher-ups to lift the Third Division Third Division Captain —a veritable lump of flesh—from the ground and carry him towards the Third Division Izuru Kira. He felt a pang of emotion. No one in this world could have an easy time; everyone lived in misery for various reasons. In such circumstances, it was truly best to learn to enjoy life while one could, living each day to the fullest...
"Well..."
How much sorrow can one have in a lifetime?!
Shunsui Kyōraku sighed deeply, deciding to return to the tavern where he had just been and have a good drink.
"Well..."
After placing his completely drunk captain in the captain's room, Izuru Kira sighed helplessly. He felt utterly incompetent; if he were stronger, he wouldn't need a newly appointed captain—he could simply fill in himself... Unfortunately, his talent was truly limited...
Izuru Kira harbors a slight sense of inferiority, and perhaps it is this very inferiority that prevents him from moving forward, from mastering Bankai, and from becoming a proper squad Captain-level Soul Reaper.
"Well..."
Izuru Kira sighed again and left the captain's room, leaving Shūsuke Amagai alone inside.
"Hmph~"
After Izuru Kira left the captain's room, Shūsuke Amagai, who had been completely drunk, opened his eyes. The flush on his face had completely disappeared, and his eyes, which had been confused before, were now sharp and shrewd. His aura, which had been decadent before, was now cold and domineering.
Everything is going according to plan.
Hahahaha... Hahahaha...
" Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, you hypocrite! Open your eyes wide and watch carefully! I will not only ruin your reputation, but I will also personally defeat you in front of everyone to avenge my father and prove myself!"
Shūsuke Amagai sneered. He felt the Soul Reaper of Soul Society were all too foolish. Perhaps it was because it was too peaceful here, so peaceful that even the invasion of one or two Hollows was considered an emergency... These guys, raised in a greenhouse, were no match for those who had fought their way up in Hueco Mundo. He needed to devise a plan...
On the other side, in front of the Kasumioji Clan's private Senkaimon, a blonde little girl and two Shinigami who were independent of the Gotei 13 and exclusively Soul Reaper to the Kasumioji Clan quietly walked in.
The three walked cautiously, believing they hadn't attracted anyone's attention. According to the information they had received, once they arrived in the World of the Living and recruited the boy named Ichigo Kurosaki into their Kasumioji Clan, they could not only reverse Rurichiyo Kasumioji's passive situation within the Kasumioji Clan, but also elevate the entire Kasumioji Clan to a higher level by leveraging Ichigo Kurosaki's identity.
"..."
Unfortunately, unnoticed in the jungle, a pair of eyes were silently watching them, intently observing their every move.
The Kasumioji Clan's clan land has a hidden underground factory...
"Elder."
"Miss Rurichiyo has already departed for the World of the Living."
A man dressed in a black bodysuit with a stern expression knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully to a man in front of him with a full head of silver hair and an aged appearance.
"Hahaha..."
"Ha ha ha ha..."
"That silly little girl actually went to the World of the Living... Hahaha... That means our chance has come."
The man addressed as Elder laughed loudly. Although he was an elder of the Kasumioji Clan, his demeanor and words showed no respect whatsoever for Rurichiyo Kasumioji, the heir of the Kasumioji Clan. In his eyes, Rurichiyo Kasumioji was nothing more than a foolish little girl, easily bullied... completely unqualified to be the head of the Kasumioji Clan, and incapable of leading the Kasumioji Clan to its peak...
When he first heard that Rurichiyo Kasumioji Sōgo Shihoin, his heart skipped a beat. He thought that if Rurichiyo succeeded, he would let her become the head of the clan. Facing the invincible Rurichiyo Sōgo Shihoin, he lost with dignity. Throughout the entire Soul Society, there were many people who had been bullied by Sōgo Shihoin, many of whom were more powerful and cunning than him.
Unfortunately, fate was on his side; Sōgo Shihoin didn't even think much of that little brat... Now, no one could save him, not even the Soul Reaper of the Gotei 13... That's what the Kasumioji Clan's elder said.
"You... why did you have to run off to this World of the Living? Now you're helpless, crying out to heaven and earth... hahahaha..."
For a moment, the entire basement echoed with the licentious laughter of the eldest elder of the Kasumioji Clan.
In the World of the Living... evening.
Kurosaki House...
Masaki Kurosaki, Isshin Kurosaki, Karin Kurosaki, Yuzu Kurosaki stared silently at the table full of food, none of them touching their chopsticks beforehand.
"My brother..."
Yuzu's eyes were filled with worry; she was extremely concerned about the safety of her brother, Ichigo Kurosaki.
" Ichigo will be alright."
Before Yuzu could say anything more, Masaki Kurosaki gently placed her hand on Yuzu's small hand and said with a determined look in her eyes.
"Um!"
After listening to her mother's words, Yuzu Kurosaki nodded heavily.
"Alright, in that case, let's eat!"
With a gentle smile on her face, Masaki Kurosaki addressed Isshin, Yuzu, Karin, trying her best to smile and speak in a relaxed manner.
"Good!"
After hearing Masaki Kurosaki's words, everyone nodded and smiled, keeping their worries about Ichigo Kurosaki to themselves.
"Ring ring~"
Just as everyone was about to start eating, the doorbell suddenly rang, startling everyone's eardrums.
"It's my brother!"
Hearing the doorbell ring, Yuzu excitedly shouted, "Besides Ichigo Kurosaki, there's absolutely no one else who would come to our house at a time like this!"
Her brother is finally back!
"Brother~" (voice cracks!)
The Yuzu, with excited little steps, arrived at the door, opened it forcefully, shouted loudly, and then froze in place, even more stunned.
"Nice to meet you~"
My name is Rurichiyo Kasumioji ~
The person standing outside the door, though sharing the same warm-toned hair color as her brother, was clearly different in both height and gender. It was an adorable blonde little girl who looked to be eleven or twelve years old.
At this moment, the adorable little girl was looking at Yuzu Kurosaki with a smile, and then lifted the hem of her skirt to give an elegant bow.
Um... who are you?
Yuzu Kurosaki looked at the girl outside the door with a bewildered expression, not knowing why she had come.
"Please allow me to introduce myself in more detail. My name is Rurichiyo Kasumioji, and I am Ichigo Kurosaki's fiancée."
The blonde girl, Rurichiyo Kasumioji, smiled as she addressed her sister-in-law.
"Fiancée?!"
Hahaha... I must have misheard. How could my brother have a fiancée?
After hearing what the blonde girl said, Yuzu Kurosaki's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't believe her ears and wondered if she had misheard.
"Yes, I am indeed Ichigo Kurosaki's fiancée. I've come today to meet Lord Ichigo Kurosaki and to set a wedding date as soon as possible..."
Rurichiyo Kasumioji covered her flushed cheeks and spoke softly.
"Mom... something terrible has happened! My brother's been cheating on me, and a foreign woman claiming to be his fiancée has come to our door!"
After a moment of silence, Yuzu Kurosaki wiped away her tears and ran towards the living room.
"Well then... I'll take my leave."
Taking advantage of the moment when Yuzu Kurosaki Rurichiyo Kasumioji, along with two bodyguards dressed in black suits who looked like mafia members, entered the Kurosaki Family's gate. The two bodyguards behind her were carrying small gift boxes, after all... today was considered a formal visit to the Kasumioji Clan... so they had to bring some gifts.
"Greetings, Father and Mother. I am Rurichiyo Kasumioji, the current heir to the Kasumioji Clan family headship... and also Ichigo Kurosaki 'Rurichiyo Kasumioji fiancée. It is my honor to meet you both today. Kenryū, Enryū, bring up the gifts..."
Inside the reception room, Rurichiyo Kasumioji bowed respectfully to Masaki Kurosaki and Isshin Kurosaki, expressing her utmost respect for them.
"Yes, Rurichiyo."
Two bodyguards in black suits nodded slightly, and then brought over dozens of exquisite gift boxes of various sizes.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation."
Rurichiyo Kasumioji smiled slightly as she looked at the room full of gifts.
"Holy crap... a tycoon!"
The Kurosaki Clan ' expressions changed drastically when they saw the room full of gifts.
"What a good child."
Masaki Kurosaki looked at Rurichiyo Kasumioji, who displayed excellent upbringing, and smiled slightly. She liked obedient and sensible children the most. As for those gifts... the oblivious girl didn't care about them at all.
"The value of these things..."
"And then there's the surname Xia Dalu..."
"No way?"
"That Ichigo Kurosaki actually managed to win over the little princess of the Kasumioji Clan! He'll never be short of money in this life... no, he'll never be short of money in his next life, and the life after that..."
Isshin Kurosaki had heard of the Kasumi-no-Riya surname. To be precise, as the head of a branch family of the Shiba Clan, one of the Five Great Noble Clans noble families, it would be terrible if he hadn't heard of the Kasumi-no-Riya surname... After all, the Kasumioji Clan was the family that had developed the closest to the Five Great Noble Clans families in the past thousand years, and in terms of wealth alone, the Kasumioji Clan was much richer than their Shiba Clan.
"Dad, Mom... is my brother really... really engaged?"
"Isn't my brother's fiancée a bit too young?!"
"Does this mean my brother will have to spend the rest of his life in the Jail?"
"My brother... my brother is so pitiful..."
Yuzu Kurosaki kept wiping away her tears. Her teacher had told her that this planet had a complete set of laws to punish perverts who preyed on young girls and boys. She didn't want her brother to become a pervert; she wanted her brother to be alright...
"Could it be that Ichigo -nii... the reason he hasn't gone home is because he knows he's done something wrong and caused irreparable damage, and that he has no other choice but to go to jail, so he fled Karakura Town overnight?"
Following Yuzu's train of thought, Karin Kurosaki felt a slight sense of dread. Her expression was composed yet slightly panicked, and her heart began to pound uncontrollably. Four words slowly surfaced in her mind... Something terrible has happened!
"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?"
Karin Kurosaki looked panicked, unsure of what to do...
"Please settle in here for now!"
The other members of the Kurosaki Clan, of course, also successfully imagined these ideas that Karin Kurosaki had conjured up.
As everyone knows, the Kurosaki family of five only has two brains in total: Ichigo Kurosaki uses one brain by himself, while the other four share the other brain.
"Huh?!"
Karin and Yuzu stared at Isshin Kurosaki with astonishment. Even though the four of them shared one brain, they still couldn't understand what their father was thinking... Wasn't this progressing a little too fast?!
I have my own reasons.
Isshin Kurosaki gave his daughters a resolute look, a slight smile playing on his lips as he made his own plans.
"Um."
Karin and Yuzu were captivated by Isshin's gaze. Although their father was usually unreliable, he was very dependable in crucial moments.
"In that case... Little Rurichiyo will stay in Ichigo's room!"
"Anyway, Ichigo is out and won't be coming home tonight..."
The understanding Masaki Kurosaki put herself in his shoes for a moment and then said this.
"I am extremely grateful..."
After hearing what Masaki Kurosaki said, Rurichiyo Kasumioji blushed slightly and nodded.
"Hmph, Ichigo that brat Ichigo and the Kasumioji Clan's kid have sex, our family's financial crisis will be resolved... and then Yuzu and Karin can go to university without any burdens."
Isshin Kurosaki looked at the gifts piled up in the room and smiled slightly. It wasn't that he was selling his son; it was just that the Kasumioji Clan had given him far too much.
