"it's over"
Supporting Kimura Muyang, Suzuki Nan looked at what was happening in the distance with a relaxed smile on his face. This battle that had been brewing for a hundred years finally ended today.
"Yeah, it's finally over, but it left a mess."
His eyes scanned the dilapidated scene around him. Fortunately, this place was just a replica of Karakura City. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it would probably cause an imbalance in the world.
Moreover, both the Gotei 13 and the Masked Legion were all scarred. Although they were not killed, they were all seriously injured, and at least they would not be able to move normally for a short period of time.
The dark clouds in the sky caused by the previous battle gradually dispersed, and the sun shot down from the sky, shining on the battlefield. The dilapidated city suddenly gave people a feeling of hope.
"It's nice not to die."
The flower jacket on his body has long since disappeared, and even the captain's haori was destroyed in the previous battle. Kyoryu Shunsui looked a little embarrassed, and the bamboo hat he had been wearing was destroyed in the battle. At this time, he only Neng stretched out his hand to cover his forehead to block the dazzling sunlight.
"And everyone else is still alive, too."
Looking at the captains getting up one by one around him, a smile appeared on Kyoraku Shunsui's face. Although everyone was beaten very badly, luckily no one died and they were all alive and well.
"Yeah, what a blessing."
Ukitake Jushiro, who had woken up at some point, walked to Kyoraku Shunsui's side and echoed.
"But it's really embarrassing to say it. He didn't play any role in this battle at all. He will definitely be taught a lesson by Mr. Genryusai after the war."
Talking about the battle, Kyōraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro looked at each other, and both of them had a wry smile in their eyes. They had not played any role in this battle, and they were killed in a daze. Then the battle ended in a blur.
"But speaking of Master Shan, his body."
"Well, Captain Unohana has gone over to take a look, but it doesn't seem to matter. Although his left arm is missing, there are no problems in other aspects. He just needs to rest for a while."
"That's good. The Soul Society now cannot do without him. If there is something wrong with Shan Ye's body, there will be no one who can take his place. That would be dangerous."
"It's really embarrassing to say this. This situation probably happened because of our failure to live up to expectations."
After hearing Jushiro Ukitake's words, Kyoraku Shunsui let out a long sigh. That's right. Yamamoto Genryusai, as the strongest Shinigami in the Soul Society for thousands of years, has been serving as the captain of the Gotei 13. It's because for thousands of years, no one has been able to surpass him. This is indeed because the younger generations are so unsatisfactory.
"However, the battle ended because of a human being. That kid named Ichigo Kurosaki has grown to this extent without us knowing it."
"Yeah, this result really makes me ashamed."
Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo in the distance, Kyoraku Shunsui's tone was very emotional. Then his eyes turned and fell on Kimura Muyang's group not far away.
"I'll go over there first."
Seeing where Kyōraku Shunsui's gaze fell, Ukitake Jūshirō smiled slightly and stepped aside.
"You go over first, I'll go check on the other captains."
His body flashed a few times and he landed in front of Kimura Muyang. He glanced at Kimura Muyang who was being supported by Suzuki Nan. Kyoryu Shunsui said: "Thank you so much. If you hadn't fought to the death, no one would have known about it. In what direction will the situation of this battle develop? - Of course, there are also these two Arrancar friends. Although you are Arrancar, at least our positions in this battle are the same."
"Don't say that. The victory in this battle was all thanks to Ichigo. If he hadn't sacrificed his spiritual pressure, the outcome of this battle would still be unknown."
"Don't be modest, I have seen it. If it weren't for the special characteristics of Aizen's body that made him unable to be killed, you would have ended the battle long ago. Moreover, if you hadn't persisted in fighting until Kurosaki-san appeared. , the final result of the battle is also unpredictable.”
Hearing Jingraku Shunsui's answer, Kimura Muyang suddenly showed a trace of teasing on his face: "I thought you fainted, but I didn't expect that you had always seen the battle clearly. However, with your personality, you didn't It’s weird for me to step in during a fight.”
"Well, don't say that. In fact, I have been looking for the right time to take action, but I really haven't found the right time to intervene. Your fighting rhythm is too fast. And I think you can solve it by yourself. , so just be lazy, why are you so strong?"
Spreading his hands, Jingraku Shunsui said shameless words without any embarrassment, and then his expression changed and his tone changed.
"However, this battle really leaves a lot of questions."
His eyes swept around, looking at Aizen who was sealed in the distance, Kimura Muyang and the others, as well as the Masked Legion members who had just been cured in the distance, and finally landed on Captain Yamamoto. .
"Let's talk about your problems first. Although it has been proven that those things in the past were all planned by Aizen, it is an indisputable fact that you once defected to Soul Society; even if you helped us in this battle, you There is no doubt that these companions are Arrancars, Soul Society will not tolerate Arrancars living in this world."
"Besides, the captain lost an arm in the battle. It's unknown how the subsequent treatment will be. Soul Society needs strength now!"
After speaking on the phone, Jingraku Shunshui stared at Kimura Muyang with burning eyes, waiting for his answer. With the strength Kimura Muyang showed in previous battles, if there is anyone who is closest to the captain, it must be him.
Kimura Muyang was slightly silent. Although Kyoraku Shunsui's words were a bit confusing, he emphasized the fact that Kimura Muyang and the others had defected to Soul Society before, and said that Soul Society would not allow Arrancars to live in this world, but in the end he said That tone told him that Soul Society needed strength, but Kimura Muyang understood what the other party meant, which was to let him return to Soul Society and the Gotei 13, so that some things from the past and the present could be eliminated. .
Returning to Soul Society and joining the Gotei Thirteen was a request, an invitation, and an agreement.
"Actually, when you said before, Kyoraku, that you watched my fight but didn't take action, I was thinking that I was the same way."
Without returning to Jingraku Shunsui, Kimura Muyang spoke softly, with a low tone, and his eyes fell on Kurosaki Ichigo in the distance. From here, only a blurry shadow could be seen. At this time, he was being captured by himself. surrounded by companions.
"It's really ridiculous that a swordsman would shrink from fighting."
"I long for power, I am obsessed with power, I am afraid of losing power because of this desire and persistence, and in the end I lose my power because of my own fear. Isn't it ridiculous?"
Hearing these words that Kimura Muyang suddenly said, Jingraku Shunshui's face showed a look of surprise and uncertainty. He had a vague guess in his heart, but he was not sure, it was too shocking.
In the surprised eyes of several people around him, Kimura Muyang put his hand on the Zanpakutō at his waist and slowly pulled out his Zanpakutō.
! ! ! ! !
"how come.!!"
Looking at the Zanpakutō pulled out by Kimura Muyang, the eyes of the people on the side all showed surprise. The Zanpakutō pulled out from Kimura Muyang's scabbard was only half in length.
"Those who can't give up anything can accomplish nothing! As a swordsman, I have lost my determination to move forward, and I have lost the qualification to use 'Fengxiao'."
Seeing the lonely look on Kimura Muyang's face, Suzuki Nan on the side quietly took his hand and shook it hard.
Turning his head and showing a smile to her, Kimura Muyang showed a trace of relief on his face.
"However, the battle is over. Although I have lost my power, it is not bad. At least I still have friends I value around me, and I can still do what I like. I think living as a human should be a wonderful thing. As for the hand The sword should be sheathed!"
"Don't say it so seriously. Even if you want to lower others' vigilance, you don't have to tell me."
Reaching out and patting Kimura Muyang on the shoulder, Jingraku Shunshui had a weird smile on his face.
"Even if you can't use the Zanpakutō, you are definitely not a weak person with your ability. I don't remember you as a person who only relies on the ability of the Zanpakutō. Moreover, I believe that with your ability, you can definitely Those who have repaired again, whether it is Shijie or Swastika. - However, since you want to stay quietly in this world, it is up to you. I will try my best to solve the Soul Society matters for you. Really, I have to work with you again. It’s really troublesome for those old guys to negotiate!”
Looking at Kyōraku Shunsui waving away, a smile appeared on Kimura Muyang's face, and he felt a warm feeling in his heart. Even the frustration of temporarily losing the power of his Zanpakutō seemed to have faded a lot.
"that."
With a smile on his face and squinted eyes, the silver-haired boy walked up to Kimura Muyang with a smile.
"I heard that you opened a coffee shop in this world. I wonder if you can take in a person who has nowhere to go?"
He raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him with interest. Until now, Kimura Muyang couldn't see through what he was thinking in his heart. Just like the smile on his face now, no one knew what was behind this smile. What's hidden underneath.
"Of course. I have always loved homeless animals."
"Even if it's a snake?"
"No, it's a fox!"
The fox opposite laughed, and smiled happily, but who could know what was hidden under that smiling face.
