In the three days leading up to the meeting, the four nobles were wiped out in Room 46. According to their position among the nobility, the members of the forty-sixth chamber were temporarily elected. After the establishment of the new Central Room 46, because the original location of the Central Room 46 was completely destroyed by Youhabach, it would take a certain amount of time to rebuild, and before the reconstruction was completed, the Central Room 46 temporarily worked in a team to handle affairs.

Although there are many things to deal with after this big battle, there is one thing that is most important, and that is the selection of the chief captain. In the course of this battle, not only the chief captain Yamamoto Motoyanagi was killed, but even his two disciples, Ukitake Shishiro and Kyoraku Harusui, who were most likely to inherit the position of chief captain, were also killed in battle. The surviving captains of this battle were Yoichi Shikaedein, Ichimaru Gin, Uno Hanari, Hirako Mako, Kuchiki Hakuya, Aikawa Raktake, and Komamura Zuojin.

In the case that Yoichi and Uno Hanari of Sifeng Yuan are clearly unwilling to take on the duties of the chief captain, the nobles' most preferred choice is naturally in the big war, and it is still Kuchigi Hakuya who still chooses to protect the nobles. However, in view of the fact that Kuchigi Hakuya is too young, Room 46 only appointed Kuchigi Hakuya as the interim captain. Room 46 believes that after a period of time, when Hakuya becomes more experienced, he will definitely be recognized by all the captains, and at that time he will also become the real captain.

Although Bai Ya agreed to become the temporary captain without any hesitation, Bai Ya didn't want to become the real captain in his heart. Instead, he plans to give the position of captain to that person when he has someone who can become the captain. And before there is no one who can become the captain, Hakuya temporarily replaces. After all, Bai Ya knew that he could become the captain, but in fact, he relied on the promotion of other nobles. And in the case of serving as the chief captain, the affairs of the nobility, Bai Ya obviously can't do it to the same extent as before. In the end, because he can't take care of both ends, it is very likely that he will not only lose the position of captain, but also lose the trust of other nobles.

Therefore, when he was temporarily acting as the chief captain, Bai Ya had already made a choice in his heart, and he still put the nobility first. Don't spend too much energy trying to get the approval of other captains, so as to become a real captain. However, now that he has become the temporary captain, Hakuya still has to make good use of his power. And what Hakuya cares about the most is always Rukia Kuchigi, who became a sinner because she gave the power of death to humans. Whether it's because he promised Scarlet to take care of Rukia, or for the dignity of the Kuchigi clan, no one can become a sinner, and Hakuya wants to wash Rukia's guilt away as much as possible.

It is obviously impossible to clear Rukia's sins for no reason, but this time, Rukia and Koiji came to the Corpse Soul Realm on their own initiative to help the God of Death fight against the Exterminator who invaded the Corpse Soul Realm, and obviously there is a chance to offset the merits. Hakuya mentioned this when he met with the members of Room 46, and it didn't take long for Room 46 to decide after studying it that he would not blame Koiji Asai and Rukia Kuchigi in the past, and would reinstate their status as members of the 13th team of the court from now on.

In front of the Gate dedicated to Team Rokuban, looking at Ichigo, who was about to step into the Gate and head to the present world, Rukia said after a little hesitation.

"Ichigo, the Corpse Soul Realm has absolved me and Koiji of all our previous sins, so since we can become a member of the Guardian Court Thirteen Team in the Corpse Soul Realm again, Koiji and I have decided not to go back with you this time"

"Is it ... I'm probably going to lose the power of death completely soon.,When the time comes, I'll probably never see the void again.,At the same time, I won't be able to see the god of death.,I probably won't be able to see you and Koiji in the future."

At the thought that he would not be able to see his soul after losing his spiritual pressure, and that he would no longer be able to see Rukia and Koiji, Ichigo's face showed a look of loneliness that could not be concealed. However, when Rukia saw Ichigo's expression, she slapped Ichigo on the shoulder and said so in Ichigo's puzzled expression.

"You really can't see us in the state of death. But you haven't forgotten how we lived in your home, right? ”

"Oh, by the way, I forgot there's such a thing as a skeleton. However, I've lost my spiritual pressure, so you probably don't have any reason for me to come into contact with me."

"What are you kidding, Ichigo, I haven't forgotten the experience we fought together before! In the future, if there is a chance, Rukia and I will still try to take some missions to Kuza Town, and we will still go to your house to trouble you at that time."

Koiji's words made Ichigo feel a warm feeling for an instant, and Ichigo's low tone quickly disappeared, and his cheerful smile was replaced by it.

"Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel that the loss of spiritual pressure is actually nothing, Akane Shizuku will still be by my side, and you will come to see me from time to time. Probably the only change is that I'll never see the void again, and I won't have to fight the void again."

Originally, after the words of the moon slashing, I felt that I had lost everything by losing the power of the god of death, but now I found that it didn't seem to be the case.

"Ichigo, seeing you now, I feel a lot more relaxed for some reason. It was I who broke your peaceful life, and now I am a little happy to see your life calm again."

"Although it is true that I will live in a safer environment in the future, if I am given a choice, I still want to have the strength to fight at any time."

Ichigo didn't expect Rukia to still care about the fact that she gave him the power of death in the first place. However, hearing that Ichigo loves fighting more than a peaceful life, Rukia finally no longer regrets it.

"Ichigo, don't forget that you're just a human, so since you're a human, enjoy your life as a human first. If you want to become a god of death again, then be patient, and when you die, I believe that with your talent, you will definitely be able to become a god of death again! ”

Looking at Ichigo, who was about to usher in an ordinary life as a human, Koiji looked at the human Ichigo in a haughty tone and said.

"Eh, when I fought with you before, I didn't deliberately protect my safety because I was a human. When I became a human being, but crossed the river and demolished the bridge to drive me away with disgust, people's hearts are really terrible! ”

"Alright, it's almost time to say goodbye, Ichigo, Akane Shizuku"

"Goodbye, Rukia, Koji!"

When the next time the four of them meet again, they will no longer be comrades-in-arms fighting together, but just old friends who catch up with each other.
