"Ichigo!"
Just when Kimura Muyang's words just fell, a world-traversing door suddenly appeared not far from them. A concerned cry came from behind the door, and then Lucia's body ran away from behind the door. come out.
"Oh—I was still wondering why Rukia didn't appear on the battlefield and didn't feel her reiatsu. It turns out she was in Soul Society."
Seeing Lucia appearing, Kimura Muyang said with a smile, and then as if he remembered something, his body suddenly stopped, and his face showed a somewhat uneasy look.
"What's wrong, Kimura?"
After noticing the abnormality of Kimura Muyang, Suzuki Nan quickly asked. Now she was extremely nervous about Kimura Muyang's condition. In his memory, he had never seen such a weak Kimura Muyang.
"Rukia, where is Inoue?"
Instead of answering Suzuki Nan's question, Kimura Muyang turned his attention to Rukia and asked in a low tone.
Hearing Kimura Muyo's question, Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi seemed to suddenly think of something, and their expressions changed. As for Toshiro and Rangiku on the other side, they immediately thought of the meaning of Kimura Muyo's words.
"Inoue? What happened to her Inoue?"
The only one who hadn't thought about it at this time was Kurosaki Ichigo. He turned his head and glanced at Kimura Muyang, wondering why he suddenly asked such an irrelevant question.
Hearing Kimura Muyang's question, Lucia also thought of something, and her face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Inoue entered the boundary gate after me. If nothing else happens, she should arrive soon."
She answered in a low voice. Although she hadn't confirmed anything yet, Rukia's tone still revealed a bit of self-blame unconsciously.
She should have thought from the beginning that Aizen would never let people attack the world without any reason. The last time it was to trap Kimura-senpai in the world, this time he will definitely have an unpredictable reason. Purpose. Although he didn't know what there was about Inoue that warranted such a violent attack, he should never let Inoue act alone, knowing clearly that she was not a person who was good at fighting.
"Hey, what's wrong with each of you? Inoue."
Seeing everyone's reactions, Kurosaki Ichigo obviously felt something was abnormal. A bad suspicion emerged in his mind, and his tone became a little uneasy.
"Well, although I hate to say this, Inoue may have encountered something unexpected."
Kimura Muyang's words ruthlessly shattered Kurosaki Ichigo's last persistence in his heart and revealed a terrible thing to him. Although it has not been confirmed yet, judging from everyone's reaction, they should be inseparable.
"However, it is impossible for Aizen to go to such great lengths just to kill Inoue. What he did means that there must be something in Inoue that he cares about. In other words, it means that Inoue is still valuable to him. , although it sounds unpleasant to say this, but it also shows that Orihime Inoue is safe for the time being, and you still have a chance to rescue her."
Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo's deeply shocked look, Kimura Muyang added, giving Kurosaki Ichigo a glimmer of hope again.
Moreover, these are only analyzes based on the situation where Inoue was really captured by Aizen. Whether Inoue was captured by Aizen is still unknown.
"Didi-di-di-di-di-di-"
At this moment, the messenger machine on Lucia suddenly made a chirping sound.
Could it be that.
Hearing the voice coming from Rukia, Kurosaki Ichigo's heart jumped suddenly. He had already vaguely realized the purpose of the call.
"Yes, I understand."
After hanging up the phone with an expressionless face, Rukia raised her head and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with a hint of apology on her face.
"Just a few minutes ago, Aizen's 40th Blade, a guy named Ulquiorra, killed two members of the 13th Division who were escorting Inoue in the break, and forcibly took her to Hueco Mundo.”
"Damn! It's really like this!!"
Hearing what Rukia said, Kurosaki Ichigo clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and showed an angry look in his eyes.
"Sorry, Ichigo, I should have gone with Inoue."
Seeing Ichigo's performance, Rukia lowered her head in shame, feeling filled with self-blame.
"You don't have to blame yourself, Miss Kuchiki."
Urahara Kisuke glanced at Kurosaki Ichigo, focused his eyes on Rukia's face, and suddenly spoke.
"The opponent is the 40th Blade. Although it is rude to say this, but even if you and Ms. Inoue act together, nothing can be changed, or a worse situation will happen - Ms. Kuchiki, you yourself will be in trouble."
After hearing Urahara Kisuke's persuasion, Rukia's face showed no expression of relief. Indeed, as Urahara Kisuke said, even if she and Inoue faced an opponent of that level, she could not change anything. To say that she would be in trouble was a polite way of saying that she would definitely be killed by the enemy. Just like the two members of Division 13.
But, even this cannot be the reason for me to abandon Inoue and act alone!
"It's okay, Rukia."
"ha?"
Feeling a hand suddenly placed on her shoulder, and Ichigo's familiar voice coming to her ears, Rukia subconsciously raised her head.
Raising her head, what impressed Rukia's eyes was the gentle smile on Ichigo's face, as if it was trying to drive away all the haze in her heart.
"It's okay, Rukia. Although Inoue was captured by the enemy, didn't Mr. Kimura say that her life is not in danger now. And I think Inoue must be waiting for us to rescue her. , so don’t blame yourself, we just need to run to Hueco Mundo, defeat all the enemies, and then bring her back with such a smile on our faces!”
"Ichigo."
Looking at the smile on Kurosaki Ichigo's face, Rukia felt that a soft place deep in her heart was touched, and an indescribable feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
"That's so good. Even I feel ready to take action with you."
Looking at the situation in front of him with a smile, Kimura Muyang opened his mouth to break the atmosphere.
"But I still have some things that need to be resolved for the time being. After all, I suddenly disappeared for so long, so I can't act with you. However, I think if you want to go to Hueco Mundo, Kisuke should be able to give you some help."
"Really, I was still thinking about how to provide help to Mr. Kurosaki and the others in a handsome gesture. I didn't expect you to say it now, Kimura-san."
Seemingly helplessly waving the fan in his hand, Urahara Kisuke had a bit of a smile on his face.
"Please, Mr. Urahara!"
Turning to look at Urahara Kisuke, Kurosaki Ichigo had a serious look on his face.
"However, although I said that I want to help you go to Hueco Mundo, it is not something that can be completed in an instant. For now, we should find a place to discuss the current situation first. Especially Kimura, during your absence, A lot of things happened within that time, even though it was only three days for you."
"It's indeed a good idea, and I really want to find a place to sit down and take a rest now."
"Really, I think it would be a good choice to sit down and drink a cup of hot tea in this situation."
—————————
"So, is this what you said about having a cup of hot tea, Kisuke?"
Sitting in Urahara Kisuke's home with a face full of displeasure, Kimura Muyang took a sip from the teacup on the table, glanced at the crowded little room, and her face became a little more unhappy.
"Haha, this is the tea I personally brewed for you. Kimura, don't you say so unhappy, I will be very hurt."
"This is Tieshai's, or else it's Xiaoyu, so it has nothing to do with you."
"As expected of Kimura, you have seen through it all."
With a deliberately surprised look on his face, Urahara Kisuke covered his face with a paper fan.
"But I poured this for you myself."
"Boom!!!"
A punch hit Urahara Kisuke on the head, interrupting his useless conversation with Kimura Muyang. Yoruichi urged with an impatient expression: "You'd better hurry up and get down to business. There are so many of us crowded here." This is not the place to listen to the two of you arguing in a crowded small room."
"A crowded small room or something, Yoruichi-san"
After coming into contact with Yoruichi's murderous eyes, Urahara Kisuke immediately stopped what he was about to say, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious.
"First of all, let me tell you about the time when you disappeared, Kimura-san. Although Kimura-san yourself said that you were only trapped for 3 days during the detention, 33 days have passed since your current life."
"However, the issue of the flow rate of unknown space-time and time in this world and in the war is not within the scope of our discussion now. What I want to talk about now is that during these 33 days, the information we have obtained and the preparation for the final preparations for the battle."
——————————
"Really? Kimura Muyang has escaped from the world."
After listening to the report made by Tosen Kaname who was standing below, Aizen still held his chin in one hand, with a meaningful smile on his face.
"He is really a man as I expected."
"But, Aizen-sama, don't we need to do anything if we let that man do whatever he wants?"
"It's okay, yes."
Aizen's calm tone contained an aura that no one could resist.
"Didn't that man say he would come to Hueco Mundo to visit me in the near future? So we don't need to do anything. We just need to make black tea in Xuye Palace and wait for him."
"Now, let Ulquiorra bring Inoue Orihime up. I am looking forward to this girl's abilities."
