Chapter 35: Speculation, "Danger"

"That's not the case!" Rukia retorted loudly in dissatisfaction: "The original purpose of this 'Spearhead Project' only appeared to be able to better protect humanity and this world!" That's what you're talking about 'cannon fodder' and 'meat shield'! ”

"Huh?!" Love looked at Rukia with the same eyes as a childish child, and said, "So...... As you said, this plan was actually based on the fact that there were a lot of casualties in the battle in the Void in the Grim Reaper, right?! ”

Although it is a questioning statement, it is in an affirmative tone!

"And say it's not 'cannon fodder' and 'meat shield'?! Hmph......" Love scoffed.

"You guy......" Just when Rukia was about to communicate with Ai with a good body with an angry face, Ichigo immediately came out to play a round when he saw that the situation was not good, "Nana...... Rukia, what happened to this 'Spearhead Project'? ”

"Later......" Rukia temporarily suppressed her anger and hesitated for a moment, "It is said that this plan is too inhumane, after all, after the death of the person, they have to desecrate their **...... This is too cruel for the deceased and the families of the deceased! As a result, this plan was quickly scrapped and never mentioned again, and it was ordered to destroy all the modified souls that had been created at that time. ”

"All?" Ichigo's face was full of suspicion, and he pointed to the "Righteous Soul Pill" that Ai was throwing up and down, and said, "That...... And what about that one? ”

Rukia nodded with certainty, "Yes, all!" None are left! But now I don't know why there was a leak? But...... It's not impossible. After all, there were quite a few transformed souls created at that time, and it seemed not impossible that one was missing and not being destroyed. However, if this kind of thing occurs once, it is already a very rare thing, and it is absolutely impossible to appear a second time. I just didn't expect that this time it would just happen to us. ”

"In other words, that guy was created casually by your Corpse Soul Realm, and then destroyed it casually because your Corpse Soul Realm was unhappy?" Ichigo frowned slightly, looked at Rukia and said, "This kind of behavior is really unacceptable!" ”

"Ah...... You are not wrong to say that. Rukia nodded rather dejectedly. Then he looked at Ichigo, "It's unacceptable, but ...... There is no way to do this, this is the rule of the Corpse Soul Realm, so you can only follow it. And don't forget! Ichigo. The rules of the Corpse Soul Realm are made to protect you humans after all, so ......"

"Nope! Not really! Rukia. Love on the side suddenly interrupted Rucia's words.

"Huh?"

Rukia looked at Love suspiciously. "What do you mean?"

"Let's not talk about the reason why the 'Spearhead Plan' was allowed to be carried out by the Corpse Soul Realm, but ah...... Didn't you ever think about it? Love turned her head to look at Rukia and smiled mysteriously: "The so-called 'Spearhead Plan'! In fact, it was destined to be abolished from the beginning! ”

"Eh????"

Words of love confuse Rukia and Ichigo.

"What do you mean?" *2 "Huh? So it's here! Didn't you come late...... Presumably. "Originally, there were only three people present, and a voice that didn't belong to any of the three suddenly sounded on the rooftop!" But what an interesting way to put it! Can you tell us more about that? Mr. Kurosaki. ”

"Huh?"

Both Ichigo and Rukia turned their heads and looked at the comer warily.

(Rukia's perspective!) only to find out ...... It's actually - Kisuke Urahara.

There are also a cadre of the Urahara store, etc. (Hold the Ling Tie Zhai, the rain of the house, and the flower of the cara. ）

And Urahara is looking at love with burning eyes, obviously waiting for the answer of love.

————————————

"Who are you?"

Ichigo still looked at Urahara Kisuke and the others with a wary face.

After all, Ichigo doesn't know Urahara yet!

"There's no need to be so nervous!" Ai waved his hand nonchalantly, motioning for Ichigo to put away his senseless guard. "He's ...... Well...... Belch...... Just treat him as a profiteer! ”

"Explain what...... What a hassle! With a wave of his hand, Ichigo gave Urahara a barely accurate camp positioning. At the same time, he turned his head away, avoiding Urahara's slightly resentful gaze.

"Mr. Kurosaki, don't say that! Everyone has known each other for so long, so I save a little face! "Even with Urahara's cheekiness, he will still feel a little embarrassed to be called a profiteer by Ai in public.

However, should it be said that "Urahara deserves to be Urahara"?!

Urahara, who had already readjusted his mentality in just a moment, once again brought the topic back to the question just now.

"So...... Mr. Kurosaki? ”

"Ahh......h After this 'Spearhead Project' appears, those transformed souls can start to help, or even replace the Grim Reaper, in the battle against the Void, right?! ”

"Uh-huh!" *5" then ...... Here's the problem! Ai raised his right index finger and said in a slightly vicious tone: "People! It's all habitual and dependent! Even the Grim Reaper is no exception! And the appearance of the transformed soul, although it can relieve the pressure on the void in the Grim Reaper to a certain extent, but with the appearance of the transformed soul and the subsequent upgrade, once the Grim Reaper gets used to it, or even begins to rely on the power of the transformed soul? What kind of interesting thing will happen then?! ”

"This ......"

This question doesn't need to be answered at all!

Although Ichigo is hot-blooded, this does not mean that Ichigo's IQ is really a hard injury!

Even Ichigo can guess that once the Shinigami, and even everyone, begin to get used to it, and even begin to rely on the combat power of transforming souls, then where will the Shinigami who have been fighting against the void to protect humanity and protect the world be located?

The meaning of the Grim Reaper's existence will be constantly weakened by the transformation of souls!

This is already a major event that threatens the very meaning of the very existence of the Grim Reaper!

"So......" Rukia said with a heavy face, "Would the Corpse Soul Realm suddenly order the destruction of all the information and technology related to the 'Spearhead Project'?" ”

"Isn't that a matter of course?" Love said with a disgusted face. "This is the inferiority of human beings! As long as it is something that may threaten you, you can directly exert high pressure or destroy it directly! Hmph"

“……”

————————————

"This wisdom...... I wish we wouldn't see each other in the future! Mr. Kurosaki! Urahara silently reached out and straightened the hat on his head, letting the shadow of the brim cover his eyes.

Once again, Urahara regretted his deal with love.

"So...... Now it's time to get down to business! ”

Urahara suppressed his thoughts for the time being, and planned to talk to Kurosaki after a while.

"Business? What? Ichigo wondered.

"Huh?" Urahara stared at Ichigo for a while, then suddenly turned his head to look at Ai again, and said with a sigh on his face: "It seems that you are not easy too!" Mr. Kurosaki. ”

"Hmph...... "Love is rare without provocation and ridicule of Urahara's **, but I feel a sense of comfort that is understood." If only you understood! ”

"Hey! You two ......#"

Ichigo's head has burst out with a big red crossroads!

"Ahem...... "Ahem" Urahara clenched his right hand into a fist, put it to his mouth like a cough, and said with a serious face: "Actually, it's just to recycle this defective product!" ”

"Recycling? Defective products? Ichigo frowned.

Urahara walked in front of Ai, turned his head to Ichigo, and said, "I'm so sorry, guest!" Because of the mistake of our clerk, we accidentally sold the defective product to you as a superior product, and we will take it back. And as an apology, we will use this to compensate you for your losses. ”

As he spoke, Kisuke Urahara took out a rabbit tube from his body and handed it directly to Rukia......

"Ah, it's Chabi!" Rukia took it with a look of surprise on her face. A drop of cold sweat broke out on Ichigo's forehead.

"Ah, because it's an apology! So the shop has prepared this for you, you must know that this is difficult to get, but I even took this out! So ......"

As he spoke, Urahara stretched out his hand towards love.

"Smack!"

Ai grasped the transformation soul in her hand, and her eyes swept over Urahara to look at Ichigo, who was looking agitated.

"Huh?" Ichigo wondered about the act of love.

Love waved his hand at him, signaling that the matter depended on his will.

"Tsk!" Ichigo touched his smooth chin helplessly.

"Na...... Mr. Kisuke Urahara opened the store, right? Excuse me...... What is the most important thing about being a businessman? Ichigo asked, looking at Kisuke Urahara.

"Huh?"

Kisuke Urahara was slightly stunned, looked at Ichigo, and said with a look of surprise: "As a businessman, it is important? Interesting question! Never thought about it! ”

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you really opening a store? "Ichigo's zero time difference complained.

Moy...... It's the customer's satisfaction with the store's service! Store manager. Ichigo shook his head and said, "Have you ever heard of the phrase 'the customer is God'?" ”

"Huh?! Mr. Kurosaki's statement...... It's fun! Kisuke Urahara said.

"Manager, if I'm not mistaken, this should have been bought by Rukia in the store manager, your store! And Rukia gave him to me to use. That is, I can decide how to use this pill. Isn't it? Store manager. ”

"This ......." Kisuke Urahara hesitated for a moment and said, "But after discovering that the defective product was sold by mistake, it is not the case that the defective product should be taken back and the customer should be compensated at the same time!" Isn't it? ”

"That's right." Ichigo nodded, "But if the customer likes to use this defective product, then ...... It's another story! And now, store manager, although I have a defective product in my hand, I am very satisfied! So you don't have to recycle him, and you don't need to compensate him. ”

"But..."Kisuke Urahara said with a slight hesitation, "But according to the regulations of the Corpse Soul Realm, the transformation of souls must be completely destroyed!" Mr. Kurosaki. ”

"Hah! This is the world! The laws of the Corpse Soul Realm can't be controlled here! Love suddenly sneered and said, "And...... Something that violates the spiritual law of the Corpse Soul Realm...... Are you doing less?! Urahara. ”

"Hey, Mr. Kurosaki, you know that if something happens, we won't come forward again." Kisuke Urahara said, still thinking about trying hard one last time.

"You don't need to worry about that, I'll take care of it." Love spoke directly. "And ...... Who do you think I am? I won't be able to handle even a small transformation of the soul? ”

Urahara Kisuke shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then it is naturally indispensable to go down." There's nothing to do next, let's go first. ”

After saying that, Kisuke Urahara left with the clerk in his store, but when he left, he took a deep look at Ai.

"This unabashedly disdainful mentality of the Corpse Soul Realm...... It's dangerous! Looks like I need to talk to Kurosaki as soon as possible! Urahara said secretly.
