Chapter 45: Farewell and Appointment
“……”
Kenpachi looked at the pink-haired imp at his feet, probably only one or two years old, and he couldn't even speak. The big watery eyes and the tender little appearance of the pink powder are very attractive, and the little guy sees Kenba looking at him, opens his hands, and babbles for a hug.
"She seems to like you very much, is she your illegitimate daughter?" Duke looked at the little ghost in front of him, thinking of the grass deer Yachiryu lying on Kenpachi's shoulder in the future, it was obvious that it was that girl. However, Yachiryu appeared very strangely, and after Duke came back from looking for food, she was lying on Jian Hachi's stomach. The population of this area is already small, coupled with the battle last night, it is impossible for there to be living people around, Duke doesn't understand, how can a little ghost who can only crawl around appear next to the sword, could it be that she can teleport?
"......" Kenpachi and Duke glanced at each other, and just glared at each other, the atmosphere was very delicate.
"Don't look at me, I don't know where she came from." To be honest, the zombie face with no expression and no speech on the eight sides of the sword is still very lethal, and Duke is quickly defeated.
"What's your name? Bub! Duke picked up the eight thousand streams, asked knowingly, and began to show his acting skills.
Yachiryu was held by Duke, ignoring him, and instead reached out to Kenpachi with a look of anticipation. Seeing this, Duke handed Yachiryu to Kenpachi, who looked at the little girl with strange emotions in his heart, and subconsciously reached out to catch her and put her on his shoulder. Yachiryu sat on his broad shoulders, happily grabbed Kenpachi's hair, and pulled it up. The scene in front of him made Duke want to laugh but couldn't laugh, Kenpachi's murderous dignity was paired with a pink furball, which was unexpectedly a little more cute.
"In this way, we won't be able to fight again anytime soon!" Duke spread out his hands and pretended to regret, and his hanging heart fell. The growth speed of Kenpachi's inhuman nature made him tired of parrying, and if the battle like last night happened again, he estimated that he would have to kneel nine times out of ten.
"Where's anyone nearby?" Kenpachi asked suddenly.
"Huh?"
"She's hungry."
"Huh!?"
……
Seven days later, an unknown village in Caolu District. With his outstanding appearance, Kenpachi successfully obtained food and water for three people with the help of the 'Good Samaritan'. Sword Eight Three Divided by Five by Two, Lunch was solved early, and he immediately devoted himself to the daily feeding of Eight Thousand Streams.
Because they met in the Kusaka District, Kenpachi defined her surname with reference to herself, and at the same time hoped that she would become strong, so he named her Kusaka Yachiryu. Kenpachi didn't elaborate on the hidden meaning of Yachiryu, but Duke could sense that Kenpachi had a deep obsession with the name. Fighting, taking care of Yachiryu, and then continuing to fight, Kenpachi enjoys his life for the past few days, and every day when he opens his eyes, he can see an evenly matched opponent, and there is no more satisfying life than this.
After Duke chewed slowly to solve the problem of food and clothing, he planned to part with Jian Ba, in these seven days, he and Jian Ba had two small battles a day, and a big battle in three days, his initial solution was completely mastered, and the comprehension of the sword path also reached a bottleneck, unless there was some kind of adventure, and then if you want to improve, you can only rely on water grinding kung fu. Moreover, the graduation date of the Central Spiritual Academy is just around the corner, and it can't be postponed any longer.
"You're leaving?" After the feeding, Kenpachi coaxed Yachiryu to fall asleep and asked. It has to be said that the beast's intuition is quite accurate, and before Duke could speak, Kenpachi sensed his intention.
"yes!" Duke said briskly, the communication between men is like this, there is no need to hide it if you have something to say.
"When will you be back?"
"......" Duke scratched his nose and didn't reply.
"Where are you going?"
"Located in the middle of the Corpse Soul Realm, I want to become a god of death."
"Death? What's the meaning of that life? Jian Hachi was puzzled.
"This kind of wandering life is even more boring, and our pursuit is different."
"Whatever you want! But you don't want to die...... I'll go find you, and we'll fight again!" ”
"Then it's decided! I'm afraid I'm going to be very strong by then, don't be surprised! ”
"That sounds really infuriating...... "Kenpachi stood up and was about to draw his sword. The eight thousand streams in his arms were awakened, he hurriedly stopped his movements, and when he looked back, Duke had left in an instant.
"If you don't say goodbye to Baqianliu, I will definitely cut you next time." Kenpachi looked into the distance, put Yachiryu on his shoulder, and turned to head towards the next area.
"Xiao Yueyue is gone......" Yachiryu looked at the direction Duke had left, stretched out his hand and grabbed the air.
"Yachiliu can speak?" Jian Eight was very happy, he couldn't detect the difference between Yaqianliu and ordinary children at all, and said encouragement: "Xiao Yueyue...... Is it because of his ability to slash the sword? is a very apt nickname, and the name of the eight thousand streams is really talented. ”
"Little Sword...... and Yachiryu ......" Yachiryu pointed to Kenpachi and spoke in a babbling language.
"Does Little Sword mean me? It's hard to hear, but it's good if you're happy. Yachiryu likes that guy very much, so how about we go to him after a while? ”
"Good!"
"Where do we go next? Eight thousand streams point in the right direction! ”

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Central Academy of Spirituality! Today is the graduation day of the sixth graduating students, the whole school is closed, and all teachers and students gather at the No. 1 training ground to watch the graduation ceremony and the graduation ceremony. As this year's graduates, Duke and the shooting range were also in the middle of the training ground, waiting for the graduation ceremony to begin.
"Duke, which team will you choose to join later?" The shooting range has his hands folded in front of his chest, wearing sunglasses, and his open chest is wrapped in bandages under his abdomen. Thanks to him, Duke was given a quiet space in the midst of the crowd.
There are no more courses for the six students, and almost everyone already has a team they want to go to. After graduating today, they will join their ideal team, and of course, joining the team also needs to be assessed. It's not that if you want to join, the other party will accept you. The most typical example is the Rokuban team, as an exclusive team for nobles, they don't accept civilian deaths. As for why Ajing Sankoji became the vice captain of the Sixth Team in the future, Duke is not clear.
"Team Four!" Duke looked at the podium set up in the middle of the training ground, and it was said that several captains would be there today.
"Team Four...... Why the medical team? The shooting range was shocked by his friend's answer, the fourth team is mainly responsible for the first aid of the wounded, medical treatment and the daily cleaning and cleaning tasks of the Lingting, although the number is the largest, but the strength is generally low, and the status in the thirteenth team of the court is very low, and it has always been looked down upon by the other teams.
"My slashing knife is a ghost dao system, and it is very convenient to use it to save people, and the ability of the slashing knife is a portrayal of the depths of the soul of the god of death, and I should look forward to it myself." Duke started talking nonsense in a serious way, and quickly stunned the shooting range: "I'm from Soul Street, and I became a Grim Reaper just to live better, and the Fourth Team, which rarely fights, is more suitable for people like me who pursue a peaceful life." ”
"Really?" The shooting range glanced at Duke, and the sunglasses reflected a bright light, obviously the shooting field dude with a timely IQ didn't believe Duke's nonsense.
"What are you lying to?" Duke saw that the shooting field was not easy to fool, and hurriedly asked, "What about you, which team are you going to join?" ”
"Team Eleven!"
"Combat team?" Shouldn't it be Team Seven? Duke wondered, what are you going to do if you don't go after your dog captain at the shooting range, and run to the combat team! Team 11 is a fierce team responsible for the frontline attack, representing the most elite professional combat team in the Corpse Soul Realm. The battle team sounds very stylish, but in fact they are just a group of high-level cannon fodder, and the worst thing is that this group of cannon fodder is still composed of.
As a team that gathers a large number of pure masters who advocate brave combat power, most of the team members have no special changes, pure hand-to-hand combat slashing knives, and there is no beauty. Coupled with the atmosphere in the team and the responsibilities of the team, most of the team members are hot-tempered, vulgar and belligerent, and have dominated the first place in the list of the most hated team of female deaths for thousands of years, by the way, there are no other places in this list...... Not handsome, not flashy, and not sweet to please girls, in this case, a group of energetic muscular men can do nothing but hug each other and play philosophical wrestling?
Shocked to hear that the shooting range was going to Team Eleven, Duke couldn't help but show pity for him. I can only pray in my heart, I hope that the shooting range will not be pulled out for a drink by a group of fagots......
"What kind of eyes are you?" Duke's hair stood on end at Duke's sight, and the Kikube area trembled, as if a malicious intent coveted it.
"It's nothing, it's just strange why you chose to go to the 11th team, aren't there still a few team captains and vice-captains who are not served?" Duke has been with the shooting range for six years, and knows his friend's mind very well, the shooting range is not a rough man who pursues bloody battles, contrary to his appearance, the shooting range is extremely calm and rational, and at the same time has his own ambitions.
More than ten years ago, Hirako Mako and other people were blurred by the indigo design, and Urahara Kisuke, Shikaede Temple Yoichi and the Great Ghost Road Chief were also framed and fled to the present world, resulting in many captains and vice-captains being unmanned all year round. The position of vice captain is okay, and the power is temporarily exercised by the three seats, which is enough to take charge of the overall situation of the team. But the position of the captain is not so easy to handle, the thirteen captains represent the highest combat effectiveness of the thirteen teams of the Guardian Court, and they are also the thirteen people with the strongest force in the corpse soul realm, they stand at the peak of all the gods of death!
Although the second and twelfth teams have now filled the vacancies, after all, the time is still short, and the strength has not yet been proven. Coupled with the fact that there are still three vacancies for the captains of the Sanfan, Qifan, and Jiufan teams, it can be said that this is the time period when the overall strength of the Corpse Soul Realm is the most lacking. The vacancy of the captain is the biggest crisis in the corpse soul world, but it is also the gospel of many ambitious Grim Reapers, because once they have outstanding performance, they will be focused on cultivation, and their lives will change accordingly.
The shooting range is such a person who pursues high ambitions, her mother used to be the vice captain, so his goal is also the vice captain, if he can, the captain is not impossible to look forward to. According to this line of thinking, the preferred teams in the shooting range should be the third, seventh, and ninth teams, and the captains of these three teams have been vacant, which is the best choice to show their strength.
