Chapter 13: The Soul Court, the Corpse Soul Realm, and the Blue Dye

I have to say that Ichigo Kurosaki has a very good group of friends. It's really a friend who will make the indigo dye envious of any world.

Neither identity nor other factors can affect their friendship. With the presence of the Grim Reaper and the Exterminator, the Completion Technique, and other functions, these people respected their respective personalities without knowing each other.

I know that Rukia Kuchigi is from the realm of death, but no one really gets to the bottom of it. It is clear that many things are actually different from what they imagined, but these people do not really show anger or unwillingness, but gradually express their will through their own thoughts and actions. Five

Taking this meal as an example, Aizen originally invited all of them to a meal in a high-end restaurant, but these children were keenly aware that Aizen Sousuke wanted to invite only two people, Rukia Kuchiki and Ichigo Kurosaki. They each found a very lame excuse and left, and they didn't even have too much nostalgia or clinging.

It may be the arrogance and unwillingness of each other that is unique to young people and students, but this kind of behavior without clinging is itself a thing to be encouraged.

In the Soul Court and the Corpse Soul Realm, learning the so-called etiquette and attaching to the upper level is the most important thing. No matter which Grim Reaper is not the slightest negligent in matters of etiquette. Even if it is a child of a great nobleman like Jingle Chunshui and a disciple of Jiao Erlang as the chief captain, it seems to be very indifferent on the surface, but in fact, if you really count the etiquette and etiquette, Jingle Chunshui has not really violated any part of it.

The Central Forty-sixth Room Inquisition Center wants to engrave this order of respect and inferiority into everyone's mind, so that they will never think about anything messy and lacking. Therefore, even if Rukia Kuchigi is a child of a great nobleman, he also has to salute the captain of the Goban team. But at the same time, Aizen Sosuke is also responsible for the order of the aristocracy. This is the system of the Lingting.

It may seem chaotic, disorganized, backward and contradictory, but in its internal logic it is perfect mysticism and conservatism, ensuring that all people do not have undeserved thoughts and obsessions about certain secrets, certain things.

But this system can be established in ordinary situations. Any perfect system needs to be implemented and planned.

A system that is not enforced by humans is simply not possible.

And since it is a system implemented by people, there will inevitably be some subtle changes.

For example, corruption, for example, depravity, for example, becoming something that you once did not want to see.

"Yes, Kurosaki Ichigo-san, is he still at the forefront of learning? It's an amazing kid to be able to stay in school while still studying like this."

"You're wrong. Ichigo Kurosaki was involved in this state of affairs because of a mistake in his actions, and I'm really sorry, Captain Aizen Sosuke."

"Okay, didn't I say that? My current identity is the same as yours, almost all of them are sinful bodies."

"Why, the captain is the captain, and the subordinates must have a certain amount of respect for the superiors."

「……」

From an outsider's point of view, this scene may be quite weird.

A yellow-haired boy was sitting on a chair looking bored and looking around, while a high school girl in a short skirt was bowing to the man in front of her like a mother, and she kept saluting.

And the gentle man who was the central point did not say how to fall into the well or pursue it, but waved his hand with an embarrassed look, hoping that such a thing would not happen again. But no matter what she did, Rukia Kuchigi maintained a humble attitude, as if she was very respectful.

Aizen Sosuke is certainly well aware of why. As the adopted daughter of the Kuchigi family, the girl who was decided to bring back by Kuchigi Hakuya on her own, Rukia Kuchigi always held herself to the highest standards, that is, like her brother. But no matter what she does, her identity is from Soul Street, so in the eyes of the nobles, Rukia Kuchigi is always a clay leg

, unclean guys.

Although for the sake of Kuchigi Hakuya's face, many things will not be said directly and clearly, but the harder Rukia Kuchigi works, the more it will remind people of someone, and the more it will make the wind reputation decline. Comparatively speaking, she can only use constant honorifics and hard work to prove the value of her existence. The nature of the world is that you are often forced to do something you don't like, and then someone else turns it into a completely weird look.

But in the eyes of Kurosaki Ichigo, this thing became very strange. Because the Kuchiki Rukia he knew wasn't the kind of casual girl. Rukia Kuchigi, whom he knows, is lively, cute, curious, and at the same time has his own dignity.

Groveling to a person who claims to be the captain like this without dignity now, even knowing that this is their side of the matter, makes Kurosaki Ichigo a little impatient.

If you think about it carefully, it is actually a complete coincidence that Ichigo Kurosaki was able to join the battle in the corpse soul realm.

At the beginning, Ichigo Kurosaki broke into the Lingting Court under the supervision of Aizen, and began to duel with other captains under the guidance of Aizen, and naturally filled up the negative emotions, and then let Aizen himself be born in the sky, but it turned the original hostile emotions into guilt and uneasiness.

Coupled with the fact that a lot of the truth was revealed, some misunderstandings would be cleared up, and those red tapes were not used for Kurosaki Ichigo, to some extent, Kurosaki Ichigo was able to join forces with the Soul Court and the Corpse Soul Realm at that time, and he didn't notice anything wrong, it was entirely because Aizen Sosuke was manipulating in the back. Otherwise, according to Kurosaki Ichigo's character who can't bear to see a cat die, what do you think about witnessing the people of Wandering Soul Street being slaughtered by the soldiers?

If it weren't for the urgency of the situation at that time, Kurosaki Ichigo didn't have time to stay in the Soul Street at all, but immediately ran to his relative Shiba's house and rushed directly to the Lingling Court, and he could quickly sense that something was wrong.

It's just that when the incident is over, even if he feels that there is something abnormal in the corpse soul world, because of the friendship between them, Kurosaki Ichigo won't say anything.

Not to mention that the worldview behind it slowly unfolded, and the pressure of the balance of the Three Realms was placed in front of Kurosaki Ichigo, and the corrupt and terrifying Lingling Court was indeed maintaining the balance and order of the Three Realms, so it could only make Kurosaki Ichigo close his eyes to all kinds of strange things.

Because there is really no way to solve it, he is just a high school student after all. And when he gets older, he is praised as a hero who saves the Corpse Soul Realm, and after having a wife and children, and a family, it is even more impossible to do anything to the Corpse Soul Realm. No matter how many protagonists change, those nobles always sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

But now it's different. There is no urgent edict, there is no interference of Aizen, and at present, Rukia Kuchigi is still playing happily with Kurosaki Ichigo in the current world, although the relationship between the two is close, but there is no life and death disaster. The attitude towards each other is also a good friend relationship. And the familiar friend instantly becomes like a minion, as if the people he knew before are fake, and this grotesque feeling makes Kurosaki Ichigo quite unhappy.

But he couldn't do anything about it, because even the middle-aged man waved his hand again and again, trying to convince Rukia Kuchigi not to do this. It was Rukia herself who had to ask for it.

"Ahaha...... I don't think I'm too good at convincing people. Whether it's Captain Nirvana, or Room 46. It's the same with Rukia Kuchiki."

Looking at Rukia, who was very persistent, Aizen Yusuke smiled bitterly, and in the end, he still didn't stubbornly resist Rukia.

Aizen tried hard to ask the girl not to be so serious and upright, at least a little more relaxed like the other team members and team members, but Rukia Kuchigi simply refused.

As the younger sister of Kuchigi Hakuya, she has the responsibility and obligation to maintain the so-called aristocratic demeanor and the order of superiority and inferiority. This made Kurosaki Ichigo even more uncomfortable, as if he was bound by some chain all over his body.

Just, how to put it, it seems to be hypnosis, or mental control or something, it's like you're playing very well, a very cool and cool good brother, and you walk with him one day and listen to him talk about those cool things.

Then I suddenly saw him kneeling on the ground very respectfully, knocking his head to the sedan chair several times, but he couldn't stop it, and asked you to kneel down and knock together.

You'd love to ask what the hell is going on with the brother, and where the good brother who used to be so high-spirited has gone. But I felt that there seemed to be some strange places in it, so I could only hold it silently, squatting there to speak, not to speak, only to feel a feeling of tightness in my chest.

On the contrary, after seeing that Rukia Kuchigi had failed to persuade him, Aizen Sosuke turned his gaze to Kurosaki Ichigo, looked at him with an amiable smile, and stretched out his palm.

"Well, let's get to know each other here. I'm Aizen Sosuke, and this is the first time I've met you in reality, Ichigo Kurosaki."

「…… Huh?"

"Captain Aizen?"

Not only Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned when he heard this, but even Rukia Kuchiki, who was on the side, was surprised.

Because that's not right, it's like Ichigo Kurosaki has been encountered in many places besides reality, but Rukia Kuchiki doesn't remember sending the film or anything else. Why?

What made Rukia Kuchigi feel a little confused was that after Aizen shook hands with the confused Kurosaki Ichigo, he turned his gaze to Rukia Kuchikia's side and said very seriously:

"I'm going to talk to this Kurosaki Ichigo about a little bit of a more secretive topic, so please help me take care of it next."

"Yes, I see, Captain Aizen."

Although there was infinite confusion in her mind, Rukia Kuchigi had always been a man of action, nodded directly and obediently, and quietly disappeared into her original position.

The original thriving flow of people in the restaurant was like being attracted by something, and gradually spread out in all directions. These are some medicines that came from Kisuke Urahara's side, which can better expel the civilians who accidentally mixed in.

When the inside of the restaurant was empty, Rukia Kuchiki also stood at the door, ignoring Kurosaki Ichigo's gaze as if asking for mercy, and calmly closed the sliding door. The only thing left in the entire shop was the sound of Aizen Sosuke lightly cutting the steak and feeding it into his mouth.

"Why don't you come and eat some?" The conversation between us can be quite long. The steak at this restaurant tastes very good, it is tender and smooth, and the texture is very good, don't you want to eat it?"

"Let's make a long story short, I always feel a little sorry for Rukia waiting for me outside."

"That's right, after all, that kid is a very stubborn guy, and although the other teams and captains emphasize the order of dignity and inferiority, I've always disliked these things. I've always thought that communication between people should be equal, don't you think?"

「……」

"Well, I know what to be serious about."

Seeing that Kurosaki Ichigo's expression was becoming more and more impatient, Aizen Yusuke smiled and pressed his palm a few times.

Facing Ichigo Kurosaki, who seemed to be getting more and more impatient, and even a little shaking his legs, this man who seemed to be not very old, but had an elegant and calm temperament, pushed his glasses.

Then he directly said the words that made Kurosaki Ichigo almost can't hold back a mouthful of water to squirt.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, in fact, in a way, I am your father-in-law."

「…… Huh?"

"Ah, it may be a bit rude to say that all of a sudden, but how to put it, your father and your mother would not have been able to meet without me. And I've always been very concerned about your affairs, and I've even been watching you all the time."

"What the hell are you talking about? Why are you my stepfather, watching me the whole time?"

"Actually, this story is quite long. But I've been demoted, so I just have a little bit of leisure to talk about the Corpse Soul Realm and you. You're also curious about the Corpse Soul Realm and our affairs right now, so it's mutually beneficial, isn't it?"

"It's true

Curious ......"

Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo with a disgusted face in front of him, Aizen Yusuke didn't get angry or refute anything, but pushed his glasses calmly, and said to Kurosaki Ichigo in front of him very sincerely.

And although Kurosaki Ichigo looks like a gangster, he is essentially a bad guy in the true sense of the word.

It's almost hard to say no when you look at someone asking and asking for something. What's more, now it's still about the corpse soul world that he cares about very much, as well as his own affairs, Kurosaki Ichigo thought about it, and didn't say anything more.

But his mind was indeed full of confusion, because he had the impression that he was just an ordinary child. Parents don't have much to do with death and nothingness, and there's nothing special about it. In addition to his father's willingness to make fun of things all day long, it is an ordinary family.

If you have to say it, I and my family actually have a relatively high level of spiritual awareness, and my two younger sisters can vaguely feel the existence of the void or something, maybe that's what it looks like. But if you really want to say anything special, you can't say that you are the child of a country doctor, right? Wouldn't Ishida Yuryu be even more powerful in that case? Or is it that in the corpse soul realm, the doctor's child is more valuable?

"Let's start with my father. I think it's the first time I've met you today, right? Why have you become my stepfather?"

Ichigo Kurosaki sat in his chair and thought about it, but he still watched Aizen ask the question he cared about the most.

"And you don't look much older than me, the Grim Reaper looks young like this, and acts and acts young, but in fact they are all very old?"

"That's pretty much true."

Aizen Sosuke nodded affirmatively, giving Kurosaki Ichigo a definite answer to what he had been thinking all along.

"I'm already hundreds of years old, and in the Corpse Soul Realm, the Grim Reaper generally maintains their peak state, and things like their appearance are very difficult to change."

"That's ......."

"And before I talk about my father-in-law, I have to apologize to you for one thing."

"Huh?"

Which one is this?

Seeing that the fork was put aside and stood up, completely different from Rukia Kuchigi's bow, but an apologetic salute, Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't understand what was going to happen at all.

Suddenly an inexplicable man came out, and his good friend was also directly respectful, and then suddenly stood up to apologize, and said that he was his righteous son Yunyun, and this thing bombarded again and again to make Kurosaki Ichigo's head a little foggy. But what shocked him even more was the first sentence that the bowed Aizen Sosuke said.

"Actually, I was largely to blame for your mother's death."

「…… What are you talking about?"

Looking at the bombshell thrown by Aizen Yusuke in front of him with a guilty look, Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at him in disbelief.

"Yes, your mother's death, your current appearance, and your father's seal are largely due to my own immature behavior. So here, I still want to apologize to you. I'm really sorry, Ichigo Kurosaki. It's just that your mother's death is definitely not in my plans. Rather, she wouldn't have died like that."

"What the hell are you ...... What are you talking about......

Listening to Aizen's bland and sincere narration, watching him stand up and bow deeply to himself, Kurosaki Ichigo always felt that his brain had been hit by dozens of mud trucks in an instant, and his mind was full of Venus and dizzy.
