Chapter 28: News About JūShirō Ukitake, Kidnapping Inoue Orihime (Third Update)
"I didn't expect that he would actually leave like this."
In the reception room of Urahara store, Urahara Kisuke has now emerged from the state of the forbidden elixir.
Feeling the strength restored in his body, he walked to the window and looked at Ye Chen who had disappeared, with a complex expression.
"Vice Captain of the Fifth Division, Ye Chen...he is such an unpredictable guy. He seems to be even more difficult to deal with than Aizen."
"Kisuke, the clown makeup on your face hasn't been applied yet."
Shihouin Yoruichi, who was also free again, suddenly laughed.
"It's too funny to talk with that face. You'd better deal with it."
"Hey, it seems he even took a photo."
Urahara Kisuke is not in a hurry to deal with the clown makeup.
Anyway, Yoruichi and both of them have already seen what should be seen.
Rather than dealing with the clown makeup on his face, he was more worried about whether Ye Chen would publicize it everywhere after taking his photo.
"If it falls into the hands of Captain Nie and others, I will feel like I will never be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life."
"I think it's very possible~"
Shihouin Yoruichi smiled and replied: "At least based on what I know about Ye Chen so far, he is the person who would do such a thing."
Urahara Kisuke: "..."
Maybe it’s time to consider dressing up differently, at least not too similar to the one in the photo.
...
On the other side, after leaving the Urahara store, Ye Chen didn't wander around anymore.
The purpose of checking in Urahara Kisuke has been achieved, and Ye Chen successfully got the reward he needed most, Urahara Kisuke's wisdom.
With this bonus, as well as the various rewards Ye Chen received from previous check-ins, at least it will not be difficult to resist the second enhancement of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Even the third enhancement of the Seven Deadly Sins has a high probability of being able to be passed perfectly.
Having temporarily solved the problems that plagued the way forward, Ye Chen returned directly to his home in Inoue Orihime.
It is already the end of school time at the No. 1 high school in Karakura Town.
Although the presence of Ishida Uryuu's empty bait caused a commotion and delayed the return of Inoue Orihime.
But when Ye Chen came back from the Urahara store, Rukia and Rukia were already sitting at the dining table.
"You're finally back."
Rukia's eyes immediately came over.
"It seems that my previous feeling was correct. You are the one who can deal with that Gillian."
"Well~ it's your duty, you can't even try to catch fish."
Normally, the current person in charge of Karakura Town should be Rukia.
But the other party is currently losing power, and Ye Chen comes to Karakura Town to find her with a mission.
Naturally, Ye Chen also takes on the responsibility of cleaning up Karakura Town and protecting its safety.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t see them normally, Kurosaki Ichigo and others will deal with those Hollows anyway.
But this time Xu was stronger, and he happened to come back just in time to catch up, so naturally it was necessary to take action to solve it.
"By the way, is there any news from Captain Jushiro?"
Ye Chen asked.
Just in case, he gave his contact machine to Rukia before leaving for the Shinigami world.
Now that a month has passed, no matter how inefficient Jūshirō Ukitake is, he still hasn't dealt with Rukia's matter.
"Captain Jushiro...he asked me not to be exposed for the time being."
Hearing Ye Chen's question, Rukia, who had been contacted more than 20 days ago, lowered her head and replied with a complicated expression.
"He said that something unexpected happened at Soul Society, and he is currently investigating some things secretly."
"In order to prevent me from being affected by this incident, he asked me to hide in this world for the time being and not to be discovered by other people in Soul Society."
"investigation?"
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.
This reply is somewhat interesting.
But that's normal. Jūshirō Ukitake is the veteran captain of Gotei 13, and his qualifications are only below those of Yamamoto and Unohana Retsu.
Kyoraku Shunsui can succeed Yamamoto as captain, and Jūshirō Ukitake, who is at the same time as him, is naturally not a simple thing.
Not surprisingly, the other party probably discovered someone was targeting Rukia when he was looking for connections to solve Rukia's problem.
Under such circumstances, he naturally did not dare to let Rukia go back.
"Since Captain Jushiro said so, let's stay at Orihime's house for a while longer."
Ye Chen sat down at the dining table: "I just happened to be a little tired of the food at Soul Society. I want to change my taste and experience the food of this world."
"Well...I don't have any objections."
A gentle smile appeared on Inoue Orihime's face.
She is quite grateful to Ye Chen, the benefactor who saved her at a critical moment and saved her brother.
She would not refuse anything like this that could help the other party.
"If there's anything you want to eat, just tell me and I'll try my best to learn it."
"That's not urgent."
Ye Chen thought for a while and suddenly changed the topic.
"Orihime, do you want power?"
"strength?"
"Well, the power to be able to fight Hollows and protect others."
"Eh? Can I do that?"
"Of course, you have the qualifications."
"Then I want to have power!"
Inoue Orihime became energetic for a while, with a look of expectation flashing in his eyes.
"Although I don't know what the future will be like, as long as we have enough power, the situation last time should not happen again."
Unable to stop Hollow's brother, help him get out.
Unable to protect Arisawa Tatsuki, who was attacked by his corrupted brother and was injured and comatose.
Although a month has passed, Inoue Orihime still vividly remembers the scene of his last attack by Inoue Hao.
During this period, she fantasized more than once about whether the situation at that time would be changed if she could have the same power as Rukia and others.
If you had the power from the beginning and could see Inoue Hao's soul, would you be able to continue communicating with him after his death, so that he would not degenerate into a void?
With this idea in mind, deep in Inoue Orihime's heart, the idea of becoming stronger and protecting others quietly took root.
Now that Ye Chen took the initiative to hand over this opportunity, she naturally didn't want to lose it and responded immediately.
"how should I do?"
"Not urgent."
Ye Chen replied with a smile: "Eat first now."
"When you have time later, come find me in my room."
Rukia, who was watching on the sidelines: "?"
She doesn't know why, but she always feels that Ye Chen now is like a weird uncle who abducts little lolita with a lollipop.
Dangerous in every sense of the word.
