Chapter 489: Ichigo's Study Materials Under the Bed
Chapter 489: Ichigo's Study Materials Under the Bed
Ichigo was dragged back to his room by Rukia, only to be surprised by the sight of his small room filled with people.
Among them, Rangiku was sprawled on his bed, holding a "study material" that had been hidden under his bed for years, and she was engrossed in reading it.
Toshiro Hitsugaya had spread out the map of Karakura Town on the floor, deep in thought, while one foot was busy polishing his bald head, and Yumichika was admiring himself in the mirror...
As Ichigo entered the room, he saw it in disarray, and these uninvited guests had turned his room into their secret base without a care in the world. His forehead instantly filled with countless 'well' symbols!
"You guys, can't you have some self-awareness? This is someone else's home!"
Seeing the unconcerned people in the room, Ichigo was furious. He remembered the first time he met Rukia, and how she had barged into his room without a care in the world.
He had initially thought it was just her personality, but after some time, he realized that was it the same for everyone from Soul Society?
"Boy, I've looked through your study materials, and I must say your taste is quite average.
And I didn't find this book myself, but that Yecheng guy said that a certain teenager going through puberty always hides some secret study materials under his bed.
So I searched a little, and I actually found this stuff. But after taking a quick look, I realized these women are really average, and their figures aren't even as good as mine.
Since we're all acquainted, how about I, as your big sister, help you catch up on some lessons? I happen to be the type you have in your study materials."
Rangiku waved the study material that Ichigo had hidden, and then deliberately puffed out her chest, revealing her impressive figure, causing the pure-hearted teenager, Ichigo Kurosaki, to blush furiously!
"I didn't! I haven't looked at it! This stuff was given to me by a friend... yeah, that guy Keigo stuffed it into my hands, and I haven't even looked at it yet!"
The yellow material hidden under the bed had been discovered, and with so many people present, it was a public humiliation for Ichigo.
"Alright, Rangiku, stop fooling around. Now that everyone's here, we should get down to business."
Just as Ichigo was being teased by Rangiku, causing him to blush, Toshiro Hitsugaya, who couldn't bear to watch anymore, finally stepped in to put an end to Rangiku's mischief.
As Rangiku's captain, Hitsugaya understood Ichigo's feelings very well. After all, for a certain old driver, one of his greatest hobbies was teasing pure-hearted teenagers, and Hitsugaya himself was often a victim of this person.
The investigation team sent to the Human World included Toshiro Hitsugaya, Matsumoto Rangiku, Kensei Renji, Hachigen Yamamoto, Yumichika Ayasegawa, and Yachiru Kusajishi, a total of six people.
Since Hitsugaya was the only captain, he took command of the team, with Yachiru assisting from the side.
Although the Ten Swords had only appeared once, their combat power had raised alarms in Soul Society.
Ichigo Kurosaki, previously known as the "Traveling Troublemakers," had caused quite a stir in Soul Society with his strength. Although he didn't want to admit it, he indeed possessed captain-level abilities.
However, even with such power, Ichigo was still no match for the Ten Swords, which couldn't help but raise alarms in Soul Society.
All along, the Hollow Realm and Soul Society had been bitter enemies, but Soul Society's understanding of the Hollow Realm was sorely lacking.
The Vasto Lorde-class Menos, Aizen, and Vasto Lorde were formidable foes in the first place. Now, due to the traitor Aizen's modifications, these enemies have become even more formidable.
It was only a matter of time before a battle between the Hollow Realm and Soul Society, Aizen, and the Gotei 13 would take place. However, the Soul Society knew almost nothing about the so-called Arrancar, so the primary task of this investigation squad was to gather intelligence on them.
Ichigo and Rukia then briefly described what had happened that day.
When they learned that the so-called Espada not only possessed spiritual pressure comparable to that of a Shinigami captain but also had unique techniques, Toshiro's brows furrowed deeply.
"I think the strength of the Arrancar is not as simple as that.
Aizen used the power of the Hogyoku to grant Shinigami power to the Hollows, and conversely, the Arrancar are the products of Hollows' Shinigami transformation.
Didn't Ichigo and Rukia just say that the two Espada who appeared, although they exuded a Hollow aura, had little difference in overall features from ordinary humans and even carried Zanpakuto?"
The speaker was Yecheng, who suddenly entered the room, holding the cream puffs that Yoruichi had just made. As he ate the snack, he casually spoke words that shocked everyone present.
"The Hollows in the Hollow Realm not only have the ability to think but also the power to release Zanpakuto. No matter how you look at it, this is too far-fetched..."
As soon as Kensei finished speaking, Rukia, who was beside him, shook her head and interrupted, "No, I think Yecheng's guess is very likely.
Moreover, those Hollows modified by Aizen are, strictly speaking, no longer Hollows but a new life form called Arrancar."
Since there were no Arrancar present, the investigation squad's various speculations and discussions were merely based on paper intelligence.
Since the Espada had come for Black Zaki Ichigo, Toshiro believed there was a possibility of them returning.
After reporting the situation to the Soul Society, the Captain Commander's intention was to have them stationed in the Human World, waiting for the enemy to show themselves.
If they could capture an Arrancar alive, it would be best to hand them over to the Research and Development Bureau.
Even if they couldn't guarantee the Arrancar's survival, they should at least try to obtain information about the current strength of the Hollow Realm.
The strategy meeting ended, and the people present naturally returned to their respective homes to better conduct their activities in the Human World. Of course, they had already prepared Gigai for this purpose.
However, when it came to choosing a base, the Shinigami present faced a dilemma...
Ichigo's home was already cramped with Rukia, and it would be impossible to accommodate the rest of the group. Even if his father's third-rate clinic worked overtime, it wouldn't be enough.
Moreover, Ichigo didn't welcome the people in front of him, especially the blonde, Yecheng! So, he quickly kicked everyone out.
"I'm not worried about Yecheng and me; we've been living in Kurakutou as a married couple for over ten years.
It's you captains who should be worried. If you can't find a suitable place to stay, you might have to sleep on the streets tonight."
Ranjuan wasn't worried about accommodation; as long as she followed Yecheng, she felt at home even in the Human World.
