I'm really not the number one slacker in Soul Society.

Before long, all eight members of the Masked Army regained consciousness.

Hirako was the first to stand up. He spent some time finding out the situation from Urahara, then reassured the other members of the Visoreds and thanked Mima. Everything went smoothly, but his somewhat forced smile betrayed his unease.

It wasn't just him; the entire Masked Army was in poor condition.

They each found a place to sit down.

Hirako was comforting Hiyori, Kensei was talking to Kunan Shiro who had a gloomy expression, Luo Wu, Lou Juro and Yushoda Hachigen were silent, and Lisa was also silent.

Afterwards, Urahara began to set up the portal to the human world, while Yoruichi went to pack her things, and the atmosphere became quiet for a moment.

"...Tsk."

A few minutes later, Lisa walked up to Mima with a furrowed brow and an expression even sterner than usual.

They grabbed him and dragged him to a corner of the secret base.

Mima blinked: "Sister Lisa... this is..."

“Once we go to the mortal world, it will probably be difficult to meet again. Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Lisa pushed up her glasses. “Don’t tell me you’re planning to remain silent until the end.”

"..."

He's not the kind of slow-witted character who often appears in harem anime, so of course he can understand what Lisa means.

...But he was partly to blame for this. It's really absurd that he started being all lovey-dovey right after slashing someone. He's not Aizen, and he's not that shameless.

Mima spread her hands, saying helplessly, "If I say I'm embarrassed, please don't be angry, Lisa-nee..."

Before he could finish speaking, a glint of light flashed across Lisa's glasses.

But she wasn't angry; instead, she put her hand on Mijin's shoulder.

“I knew it…” She lowered her eyes and sighed, “Mizhen, you should have taken the initiative in this kind of thing.”

“Sister Lisa…”

Before Mijin could respond, Lisa tiptoed over and gave Mijin a light kiss on the lips before quickly pulling away.

“…Consider it punishment.” She put her hands behind her back, looking at the wall beside her, not letting Mima see her expression. “Since you’re not taking the initiative, then we’ll have to leave the rest for our reunion a long time from now.”

"..."

Mizhen stood there, rooted to the spot.

Let me state upfront: he had absolutely no expectations for "the rest of the matter," not at all.

He was simply stunned by the brief kiss and wanted to say something trivial to salvage the situation, such as "I'll find a way to visit you in the real world after things settle down."

"I……"

"Ahem... I didn't mean to interrupt you two at this time..."

Urahara's somewhat embarrassed voice came from the side: "But the portal has been set up, we need... cough, to set off immediately."

"Understood." Lisa replied, then immediately went to the portal without looking back, punched each of the few people who had come over to tease her because they saw the unusual scene, and kicked them all into the portal.

Chapter 67: New Faces [Second Update]

"Watanabe, the fifth seat, let's say goodbye for now."

Suppressing a strong urge that inexplicably welled up from the bottom of her heart to punch Urahara Kisuke, Mima absentmindedly replied, "...Hmm."

"Then...we'll go ahead first."

Urahara coughed, slung the huge bag Yoruichi threw at him over his shoulder, waved goodbye to Mima, and was then kicked into the gate by Yoruichi.

The others also came over to express their gratitude and say goodbye, and then stepped into the interdimensional gate.

Only Lisa and Mima remained.

"Goodbye."

After saying something with her back to Mima, Lisa bit her lip and, as if forcing herself, quickly stepped into the interdimensional gate.

"Goodbye," Mima sighed and murmured to herself.

With the last person stepping through the portal, only Mima remained in this secret base.

As he lowered his eyes, intending to turn and leave, a pop-up window suddenly appeared at the edge of his field of vision.

The main quest "Masked Army Defection" has been completed.

[Task completion rate: Extremely high]

The route you chose is "assist and prevent".

The "Multi-faceted Thinking" task reward has been issued.

[Multiple controllable bodies detected in the host. Due to the "extremely high" completion rate of this mission, an additional reward of "character customization attempt x1" is given.]

[The mission reward "3 Vacuum Experience Cards" has been issued]

Ah... I received the reward, that's great...

Is it because I stopped Aizen's actions, but attacked the Visoreds in his place that I received rewards from both sides?

There are even extra rewards...

But why... do I not feel happy at all...?

................................................

"Generally speaking... that should be it, right?"

"The eyebrows are half a centimeter lower, the bridge of the nose is pinched higher, and the lips, how can lips be so thin?"

"...After all, I haven't seen this face for twenty years, so it's normal for something to go wrong."

"Then why did you adjust all the changes to make him look more handsome? Have you no shame?!"

"Okay... I finally have a chance to customize my character's appearance, so why not make him look handsome!"

Three days later, in the Eighth Division barracks, in Mima's room, he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, immersing his mind in his Zanpakuto, having this dialogue with Ryugetsu.

After completing the main quest, he wandered around Seireitei for a while, then found a quiet moment and went back to his barracks. He hung up a "No Entry" sign on the door and began studying the rewards he had obtained from the quest.

The holographic experience card can't be used casually to test the waters, so the main research focus is still on "multiple thinking" and "character customization".

It must be said that "multiple ways of thinking" is a miraculous skill that can solve his urgent problem.

Previously, his method of operating two bodies simultaneously was to forcibly practice a technique of multitasking, which was essentially equivalent to drawing a square with one hand and a circle with the other. Not to mention the great mental strain, once all three bodies were busy, he inevitably had areas he couldn't attend to.

Now, with "multi-threaded thinking," he feels that his brain structure has changed from single-threaded to multi-threaded, allowing him to think about several things at the same time without any obstacles, without delay, and without worrying about splitting his mind.

Now he can perform a crosstalk routine with his clone without any pressure, and he can also chant different high-level demonic arts in three bodies at the same time without making the slightest mistake.

Although multiple thoughts do not directly increase his strength or spiritual pressure, they significantly enhance his overall combat power.

Awesome...it's so awesome.

The second is "character customization".

This reward, just as its name suggests, allows Mi Zhen to have an additional appearance besides her original face and the Flowing Moon skin.

However, the method of use is a bit hardcore. The system will directly project a humanoid figure like a doll in front of him, and then let him adjust the details little by little, including appearance, hairstyle, gender and body shape. Unfortunately, the height and weight cannot be changed (male version 182cm/71kg, female version 169cm/49kg), otherwise Mi Zhen would definitely sculpt a tall and strong man like an iron tower.

Because operating outside risked being discovered, he simply used the Dao Chan method to escape into his own mental space and find Liu Yue to complete this creation together.

After all, his final decision was to replicate his face from his previous life, and Liu Yue could serve as a reference.

And so, the face-shaping process proceeded smoothly until he and Liuyue started arguing over certain details.

In his past life, he was just an ordinary person. Although he was fairly good-looking, he always had pimples on his face and body. Now that he has the opportunity to customize his face, those flaws will naturally be eliminated! Would anyone complain that he's too handsome?

"No way! If you sharpen your chin any more, you'll end up with a snake-like face!" Liu Yue roared. "Realism, do you even understand what realism is? Do you really want to sculpt your face into those overly photoshopped internet celebrity pictures?"

Mizhen angrily slammed her hand on the table: "Do you have the right to talk to me like that? You're clearly a gender-swapped version of me from my past life, so why don't you have a mole next to your ear?!"

But Liu Yue wasn't intimidated at all, and immediately glared at him back: "I'm a beautiful girl! Do you understand what a beautiful girl is?! It's a natural law that beautiful girls have no flaws!"

"Where would you find a pretty girl like you who loves to make dirty jokes and swear?!"

Mi Zhen quickly enhanced the doll's abs by one size, and then trimmed its eyebrows, saying with righteous indignation, "You're allowed to become beautiful but I'm not allowed to become handsome? What kind of logic is that!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue gasped: "What I did was at most a whitening effect, and you look like you've had a complete head transplant! Is this how you become handsome? Don't forget what your purpose was in creating this face!"

Having been hit where it hurt, Mima's face immediately turned embarrassed: "Uh... well..."

As Liu Yue said, he chose his appearance from his previous life as the model for his character creation with a purpose.

Nostalgia is one aspect, but the main purpose is to "prove one's identity."

Having already revealed his face with his previous life's skin, if he were to go out with his own face from his previous life, others (mainly Aizen) would immediately see that there was some kind of connection between the two. Whether they interpreted it as siblings or not, as long as the impression of "there must be something going on between these two scoundrels" was established, that would be enough.

Rather than creating a new identity from scratch, it's easier to make the "messenger" background more impressive, and the risk of being exposed is also smaller.

As for what specific role he will play, he hasn't decided yet.

Being a screenwriter is really difficult...

"……Fine."

Mi Zhen sighed, gave up his dream of becoming an unparalleled handsome man, and adjusted the doll's appearance to be similar to his appearance in his previous life.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Bitter Choice [Third Update]

However, some minor flaws in the details have been eliminated.

He's probably three degrees more handsome.

"...Is this just male vanity?" Liu Yue sighed, covering her face. "Never mind, whatever makes you happy, Master."

"What do you mean by vanity..." Mi Zhen rolled her eyes: "If I gave you a chance to become three times more beautiful, would you be willing to give it up?"

Liu Yue replied instantly, "Of course not."

"Then what the hell are you talking about?!" Mi Zhen roared.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. My personality is all derived from yours," Liu Yue shrugged. "Even this double standard is."

"..."

After glaring at Liu Yue, Mi Zhen submitted the character creation results to the system, which quickly gave him a "successfully loaded" notification. He just had to wait to go out and try it out.
