Chapter 163

"Ding."

The spirit particles formed a mat under his feet, and Haruto walked out of the gate.

"It's worthy of being Karakura Town."

"The spirit particle density of the world's first spiritual land is only slightly lower than that of the Soul Land."

"......"

Haruto dispersed the slap-toe chaser and did not find any breath of inhuman things.

"Sure enough."

A delicate talisman paper burned at his fingertips.

Haruto looked into the distance, and there were also a few light blue sparks in his eyes.

"It's protected by a barrier, and the level is not low."

Those are special humans with spiritual perception. To put it bluntly, they can see dead souls and hollows--

In a heavy spiritual land like Karakura Town, the possibility of being attacked by the latter is also higher.

"With this thing, it will definitely take some effort for the Quincy to find traces."

"Shua!"

Haruto no longer hesitated and walked directly to the largest bonfire.

The river bank.

The place where Ichigo's mother will be killed in the future.

This is a paradise for wanderers and camping enthusiasts, but now it is deserted under the expulsion of the ghosts, and has become a temporary camp for the living death gods.

The hemispherical ghost barrier completely covers the entire area. Such a range and concealment effect are at least the captain-level No. 80 Binding.

"Swish!"

As soon as Haruto appeared, he saw several familiar faces.

Ayaka and Yahachihara Kumaru were on guard by the river. They were responsible for performing the ghost way to disperse humans.

In the direction directly opposite them, there was a small death god wearing flip-flops and freckles on his face.

The vice-captain of the 12th Division, Saruki Hiyori.

By the way.

Hiyori's slippers are actually special spiritual tools made by Hikifune Kiryu, which can be used as a prop to hit the captain-level (Hirako Mako) special attack "Super Fan Slippers Swing".

In the center surrounded by the three people, there is a big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, whose figure reminds Haruto of Daiji Temple, and is as strong as an iron tower.

Haruto had never seen him, but in the real world, there was no one else who was so seriously injured except the vice-captain of the 11th Division, Guan Luyi.

The Shinigami who was healing Guan Luyi was also a familiar face to Haruto:

The vice-captain of the 4th Division, Yamada Seinosuke.

"Isn't this the captain-level support that Captain Ukitake mentioned?"

Because there are captain-level masters in the Quincy, Haruto had adjusted his spiritual pressure to the highest third-level spiritual power before leaving for the real world.

Haruto, whose attributes are the same as those of the captain-level, can accurately judge the strength of Yamada Seinosuke--

Just as predicted before, this is indeed a captain-level master.

However.

"The vice-captain of the treatment division..."

"The Kidō who is good at Kaido must be good, but this person should not be interested in the front line. Is he interested in dissecting the Quincy?"

At the moment Haruto appeared.

"Yo."

Yamada Seinosuke was the first to notice his approach.

"Isn't this Haruto-kun? Captain Ukitake sent you here?"

"Vice Captain Yamada."

Haruto nodded to Yamada Seinosuke - Haruto still had considerable respect for his former attending physician.

Although this person had a lot of bad intentions.

"Are you the leader this time?"

"No."

Yamada Seinosuke shook his head.

"I just received an order to come and rescue people."

When he said this, Yamada Seinosuke had already stood up from his kneeling position.

"Go back immediately after it's over."

"The Hueco Mundo Expedition Team is still sending people to Soul Society, and Captain Unohana is too busy to handle it."

Speaking of which.

The Hueco Mundo Expedition Team has already sent the third batch of Shinigami. If it is just to adjust the balance of the three realms, this should be the last wave of manpower.

"The information you want to know..."

"I haven't received any news here either."

As Haruto's strength continues to increase, this casual friendship has come to a point where Yamada Seinosuke can deepen it.

A little information is nothing.

"......Thank you for your hard work."

"It's my job."

The conversation between the two had just ended.

"Hey!"

Hiyori Sarugaki came over with an expression that looked like a female kid, but would turn into a tsundere expression if she was teased casually.

"Baldy, have you cured him?"

"......Vice Captain Sarugaki."

Seinosuke Yamada straightened his hat seriously, as if he was protesting silently; he didn't refute directly because he had long seen through Hiyori's nature, and the rest was all "pity" and leeway of an adult.

"It's definitely not that fast to cure him."

Seinosuke Yamada shook his head.

"But Vice Captain Sekirogi's spiritual pressure has stabilized. He should be able to wake up in a few hours. The rest is just a matter of time to slowly recover--"

"Your rescue was not in vain."

"...Thank you."

"As a fellow member of the Gotei 13, this is my responsibility."

Yamada Seinosuke still used the same excuse when chatting with Haruto, but when he said this to Hiyori, there was a hint of teasing in it.

However, the latter didn't seem to hear it.

"Aharu!"

After the vice-captains finished their conversation, Ayaka came over with Yahachihara Kumano.

"Ayaka."

Haruto answered with a smile while looking up and down at Ayaka's condition.

"I didn't expect that we would meet in this world."

There were a lot of people talking here, and he didn't want any bad publicity to spread.

"Are you guys okay?"

"fine."

Caihua shook her head and said.

"We happened to be relatively far away at the time, and we were more careful in our actions, so the Quincy didn't find any trace of us."

When Ayaka said this, she turned her head and glanced at Kumaru Hachihara behind her. Although he seemed to be about the same age, Kumaru Hachihara who joined the team earlier than Ayaka had a completely opposite personality in terms of behavior. of stability.

"That's good......"

"Where are your parents and eldest brother?"

Haruto asked immediately. He had not forgotten another important reason why Aihua came to this world.

"They're fine too."

"The only ones attacked by the Quincy were the elite members of Division 11 gathered in Karakura Town. The rest was quiet as usual."

"But after something like this happens, other cities will probably send more manpower...if Seireitei still has manpower available."

"..."

"That's it."

Although it was said that it was acquaintances reminiscing about old times, Caihua's words could be considered as an explanation of the current situation.

"Where's the Quincy who attacked Squad 11?"

Haruto continued to ask.

"The reiatsu disappears after the battle."

This time it was Hiyori who answered.

"The station of Division 12 is the closest to here, and I was the first one to rush to the scene... This guy was just lying there with his body stretched out, and he hasn't moved a bit until now."

Hiyori kicked Guan Luyi on the ground.

Although she had strong opinions on the 11th Squadron, she was not ambiguous at all when it came time to save people - she was the first to rush to the scene, which meant that Ayaka and Yahahara Kumaru were still lingering after the battle. Peripheral observation:

This is also the consistent style of the Eighth Division. They are not a front-line combat force to begin with, and they are worried about being ambushed if they don't get close.

"Is this what the scene looks like?"

"That's right."

There were no traces of fighting around the river bank, indicating that this battle was simply a crushing battle, and the strong ones were able to completely control the situation.

But this doesn't make sense. Why did the other party want to spare Guan Luyi's life: If he wanted to ambush around... Hiyori's one prey may not be enough, but when Haruto arrives, he should take action. .

The spiritual pressure Haruto is currently displaying is a fifth-level spiritual power that was deliberately leaked. Otherwise, others would not be able to detect even a trace of him.

This kind of lineup should be enough to satisfy the opponent's appetite.

Unless this person really wants to catch a real vice-captain wearing a haori... can he lay such a trap?

The Quincy should not be so stupid.

"This is strange..."

"Caihua, do you have any other news?"

"Gone."

Caihua shook her head.

If the Seireitei had discovered anything, they would have reported it to a few people through the Eighth Division.

However, Caihua had just finished speaking.

"——"

Six hell butterflies suddenly flapped their wings and stayed in the ears of everyone present...even Guan Luyi, who fell down, was no exception.

"..."

"New news."

Everyone looked at each other.
