Just half an hour before Nirvana met Yami and Ulquiora, the scene shifted to Kuza-cho Honmachi -

I saw that above the silent city, after Ichigo Kurosaki, who was wearing a death tyrant suit, held high the moon slashing broadsword and killed a pig-faced void, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "Hey! You...... Who are you? It's suspicious to dress like the Grim Reaper!! ”

"Huh?" , Kurosaki Ichigo put his right hand on his forehead, and when he heard the sound, he looked over, only to see a grim reaper with explosive curly hair running over on tiptoe, and then pointed at him and shouted:

"My name is Zennosuke Chetani, and I'm the elite who replaced Miss Saito, who made a mistake and was dismissed, and I'm also the Grim Reaper in charge of guarding Kuzamachi! You...... Who is it?! ”

"Uh...... My name is Ichigo Kurosaki, acting Grim Reaper! Now, this is the proxy card! Ichigo Kurosaki took out the proxy death certificate given to him by Ukitake Shishiro and shook it in front of Zennosuke Chetani and said.

"What? Proxy card? Aha...... I've never heard of that stuff, hey! Boy, hurry up! Who the hell are you?! ”

Zennosuke Chetani didn't believe Kurosaki Ichigo's words at all, and asked loudly with one hand on his waist and one hand pointing at Kurosaki Ichigo.

"Cut...... It's obviously a proxy certificate issued by the Corpse Soul Realm, why does it have no effect on the Grim Reaper at all? Kurosaki Ichigo took the death card in his hand and looked at it carefully, but he didn't notice that behind him, a familiar figure was quietly coming.

"Hey~", the figure quietly came to Kurosaki Ichigo's back, and then pressed his right hand on the rectangular handle of the Chopping Knife, and then slowly pulled out the Chopping Knife and aimed it at Kurosaki Ichigo!

“！！！” , Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly felt a murderous aura approaching, hurriedly turned around and jumped to the side for a few steps, and after seeing the face of the figure clearly, he suddenly exclaimed: "Hirako Mako, it's you-"

"Shhh~ Don't make a fuss, Ichigo Kurosaki!" , Hirako Mako jumped in front of Kurosaki Ichigo, and then lifted the slashing knife and smashed it on the latter's moon slashing broadsword, suddenly making a crisp sound!

"What? Is that also a slashing sword? You...... Who the hell is it? Why...... I've never seen you in the Corpse Soul Realm?! ", Kurosaki Ichigo shouted as he stared at Mako Hirako in disbelief.

After all, not long after Kurosaki Ichigo returned to Kuzamachi from the Corpse Soul Realm, this strange Hirako Mako suddenly appeared in the third class of Kuzacho No. 1 Senior High School as a "transfer student"!

And this guy named Hirako Mako seems to have known about Kurosaki Ichigo's identity as the acting god of death from the beginning, and then approached and tested him with purpose everywhere-

But...... Hirako Mako has the power of the Slashing Sword and the Grim Reaper, but it doesn't seem to be the Grim Reaper of the Thirteenth Team of the Corpse Soul Realm Protector at all! So...... Who the hell is he? Why is it here?!!

"......Shh I've said don't make a fuss, Ichigo Kurosaki! Don't you really understand? ”

Mako Hirako looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with a serious face and said, "A guy like you with such a huge amount of spiritual power, if you casually leak a little spiritual pressure, it will be perceived!" ”

"To be perceived...... By whom?! Although Ichigo Kurosaki already had the answer in his heart, he still couldn't help but ask.

"By whom? Do you ...... What a rough-drawn idiot? Are you ignoring even your enemies?! ”

Hirako Mako exuded a majestic spiritual pressure and rushed Zennosuke Chetani who was watching the battle far away, and then continued to say to Ichigo Kurosaki:

"Look up at this beautiful afternoon! It's because of you...... A couple of discordant guys have arrived here! And you don't feel anything......"

"What?"

"Woooo Have you been scared out of your guts by that thing in your body? Skeleton Gassing - A Chicken Bone!! ", Hirako Mako said with a long smile in a long voice.

"Nani?! You...... How could it be-", Ichigo Kurosaki was shocked in his heart: there is something hidden in his body, why would Mako Hirako know? And...... I seem to know it clearly?!

"Huh? Why do I know about you, right? Mako Hirako suddenly swept back, and after pulling away from Ichigo Kurosaki, she raised her left hand and put it on her forehead, and then said with a smile: "Because ...... I'm your kind, too! ”

"What? What the hell are you talking about...... I ask you who the hell you are-", Kurosaki Ichigo's voice suddenly stopped, because he had already seen a white mask of all-white void slowly condensed in the palm of Hirako Mako's left hand!

"Na! Slashing Blade and Void Mask - do you understand who I am now? ”

Hirako Mako looked understated on the surface, but a trace of loneliness and gloom flashed in his eyes, and then he said word by word: "I...... It is a person who has stepped from the realm of death to the realm of the void, you can call it 'void'! ”

"Void...... Change? Is that ...... When I fought Kenpachi before, did that voice and mask appear? ”

Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly recalled the time when he had a life-and-death battle between Kangaoyama and Kenpachi Kanpachi in his mind, and the white void he had seen in the blade Zen space-

And as time went by, that white void appeared more and more often, and it became more and more powerful, which made Kurosaki Ichigo more and more shocked in his heart, and he didn't dare to use all his strength at all!

"I said a long time ago, 'We're going to get along well in the future'! So...... Join our Kamen Army, Ichigo Kurosaki! ”

Mako Hirako took off the mask of the void and played with it in his hand, and then looked at the solemn Kurosaki Ichigo with burning eyes and said:

"You...... It shouldn't belong to the camp of 'humans', nor should it belong to the camp of the 'Corpse Soul Realm'! It won't belong to ...... Aizen that guy's camp, right?! ”

"Nani?! Indigo dyeing ...... Do you know the person Aizen?! Although Ichigo Kurosaki didn't help in the "Aizen Rebellion", he also learned from the Silent Soul Court about Aizen's conspiracy to deceive death and defection to the Void Circle!

So when he heard the name of "Aizen" from the mouth of Hirako Mako, he was particularly surprised: after all, the latter is a "Grim Reaper" who has never appeared in the corpse soul world, how can he mention Aizen for no reason? ?

"......Shh Why don't we know about indigo dyeing? Mako Hirako crushed the mask in her hand with a "click", and then a strange smile appeared on her face and said, "Hurt us into such a bastard...... Isn't it indigo?! ”

"I ...... Guys? Do you ...... ...... like you And are there many more? Ichigo Kurosaki asked hesitantly.

"Idiot! I've told you all, I'm part of the 'Kamen Army'! A force that does not belong to humanity, nor to death, nor to the void......"

At the moment when Hirako Mako's words had not completely fallen, I heard a few "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh", and 7 black figures appeared around Ichigo Kurosaki!!

"Nani! You...... You are-", Ichigo Kurosaki swept over the eight people surrounding him in amazement, and a look of shock welled up on his face!!

"Hey, I said bald! It's been so long and you still haven't gotten rid of this guy!! It's really infuriating, hey~"

As a rebellious voice sounded, I saw a little blonde girl with two pigtails suddenly raise her right knee, kick the slipper on her right foot into the air, and then reach out and hold it—

Then I saw her round her arms and slap the soles of her slippers on Hirako Mako's face, and suddenly I heard a loud sound from the soles of my shoes:

"Smack!!
