I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

Aside from borrowing the Transcendental Gate from Urahara to send the five Zanpakuto to Hueco Mundo, he didn't reveal any weaknesses.

As for whether Roger Shanks and the others left any hidden dangers during their three years in Hueco Mundo, that's none of Erin's business.

In any case, this time, the five of them were truly "killed" by themselves, which means that all the evidence has been destroyed by themselves.

perfect!

As expected of me.

As Erin had predicted, less than two days after they sent back news that they had retrieved the royal seal, the nobles reassembled a ceremonial guard to escort the royal seal and Erin and the others to their next hiding place.

Without Erin's script, everyone progressed very smoothly from then on.

Although the speed was as slow as before, no powerful figures appeared to try and seize the royal seal.

The few Hollows that occasionally appeared were easily dealt with by Jiu Nanbai.

After a month-long mission, the transfer of the royal seal has finally come to an end.

As for what the Gotei 13's intelligence forces and the nobles discovered through the theft of the royal seal, Erin had no interest in knowing.

As long as they don't find anything about me, it's fine.

……

Ordinary days are always something to cherish.

After returning to the Kuchiki family home, Erin resumed her life of leisure.

He's either out for a picnic with Haruko or playing tennis with her, looking every bit the winner in life.

Perhaps some people disapproved of Erin and Haruko being seen together so often, so many female Shinigami in Seireitei have recently been in frequent contact with Haruko, seemingly preparing to establish some kind of "Female Shinigami Association".

Furthermore, they planned to requisition a small garden belonging to the Kuchiki family as their association's headquarters, prohibiting non-association members from entering.

?

I'm in my own home, but I can't get in.

However, Erin did not object to this.

Haruko is not his appendage; she has her own friends and her own thoughts.

Whatever she plans to do, Erin will wholeheartedly support her.

Mutual respect, mutual understanding, mutual consideration...

That being said, Erin has indeed become much more bored since the establishment of that so-called "Women's Death Association".

However, Erin wouldn't go so far as to cause trouble for the female Shinigami Association just because he had less time to spend with Haruko.

After all, it was his intended disciple's wife, Matsumoto Rangiku, who proposed the formation of the Women's Shinigami Association.

Currently, there are quite a few people in the Women's Death Association, and several captains have also joined.

Second Division Captain Yoruichi Shihōin, Vice-Captain Soi Fon.

Fourth Division Captain Retsu Unohana, Vice-Captain Isane Kotetsu.

Lieutenant of the 8th Division, Risa Yagimaru.

Rangiku Matsumoto, the sixth seat of the 10th Division.

Kusashika Yachiru, the third seat of the 11th Division.

Hikifune Kiryu, captain of the 12th division, and Hiyori Sarugaki, the third captain.

Squad 13, Kotetsu Kiyone.

It is said that in the early days of the association, it was expelled by Byakuya Kuchiki, the captain of the Sixth Division, because it frequently held banquets and made a lot of noise late at night. The association's headquarters were then taken back in the name of the head of the Kuchiki family.

However, Byakuya Kuchiki was later forcefully suppressed by Kenpachi Erin, the captain of the 11th Division, and had no choice but to agree to give up his base.

Of course, in order to protect Captain Kuchiki's reputation, members of the Women's Shinigami Association are not allowed to enter the association's headquarters through the Kuchiki family's gate.

Therefore, almost every member of the association built a wide tunnel between the Kuchiki family and their own squad.

This tunnel was personally built by Kisuke Urahara, the third seat of the Second Division, so its safety is guaranteed.

"It really is peace..."

Lying in the courtyard, Erin propped his head up with one hand and sighed.

No matter what world it is, as long as those researchers don't cause trouble, the world will be peaceful.

But if one day a researcher has a change of heart and wants to study something forbidden, then this world is destined to suffer a great calamity.

Once Pandora's box is opened, it can never be closed.

While his mind was wandering to random thoughts, a figure suddenly flashed before Erin's eyes. He looked up and saw that it was Byakuya.

"Huh, Byakuya, aren't you usually in the Sixth Division during the day? Why are you back today?"

Kuchiki Byakuya is both the 28th head of the Kuchiki family and the captain of the 6th Division.

Normally, Byakuya Kuchiki spends his days in the Sixth Division, unless there is a conflict between nobles that requires the Kuchiki family, as the head of the nobles, to make a judgment, in which case he will return to preside over the proceedings wearing the Kuchiki family crest.

Nobles valued "face" and "interests" highly, and generally, no conflicts would occur.

However, once a conflict occurs, it means that the very foundation of a family's survival has been touched.

"Yes, it seems there's a big problem with the nobles. One of the families is in trouble, and we need to go there."

"what is the problem?"

"It seems the head of the family that guarded a divine artifact died, but he left no clues about the artifact before his death..."

"Many families are now coveting that divine artifact..."

"Artifact?"

Erin touched his chin.

Aside from the Shihouin family's "Heavenly Armor," it seems that the only other divine artifacts in Soul Society are the "Royal Seal" and the "Eight Mirrors Sword."

The Shihōin family is still very prosperous, even more so than the Kuchiki family.

After all, the Shihouin family was only the 23rd generation headed by Yoruichi Shihouin, while the Kuchiki family was already the 28th generation headed by Byakuya Kuchiki, with a gap of five generations in between.

This is only because Kuchiki Sōjun didn't have time to inherit the position of head of the family; otherwise, Byakuya might still be the 29th head of the family.

The ancestors of the five noble families have existed since the beginning of the Soul Society, which has a history of over a million years.

In other words, taking the Shihōin family as an example, each head of the family has been in office for almost four or five thousand years.

Even in the Kuchiki family, each head of the family has an average of more than three thousand years.

Currently, the only confirmed immortals in Soul Society are the members of the Zero Division who guard the Soul King.

As for Wang Yin, Ai Lin only moved him to a hidden location three years ago.

So, that must be the one that had the accident, right?

Thinking of this, Erin suddenly stood up from the ground: "Shall we go?"

"Ok?"

Kuchiki Byakuya tilted his head and glanced at Erin. Sometimes, he really felt that his aunt had ruined him as her uncle.

Think back to the first few years after he took over the Sixth Division, which member of the Sixth Division didn't talk about how great the former Captain Erin was?

What now?

He stays at home all day, either playing chess with his aunt or playing tennis.

However, that tennis ball game was quite interesting.

This guy is the captain of the 11th Division?

"Uncle Erin, what's going on?"

"I'm bored at home, so I'll go with you to join in the fun."

"What? It's not good enough? Is my son-in-law from the Kuchiki family not presentable enough?"

"..."

Kuchiki Byakuya glanced at Erin but ignored him.

In Soul Society, who dares to underestimate the Kuchiki family?

Perhaps they've been idle for too long.

However, they did not stop it.

Erin followed Byakuya. In this noble settlement, Erin only recognized the Kuchiki family and the Shihouin family; he didn't know any of the others.

Soon, the two arrived at a secluded courtyard, where many nobles were already waiting.

"Yo, Byakuya-kun, you've arrived."

"And you lazy fellow, Erin, it's quite surprising that you've actually come out and about."

The one who said this was Yoruichi Shihōin, the current head of the Shihōin clan.

"Captain Yoruichi, aren't you going too far? Where have I been lazy?"

Erin didn't want his reputation to be damaged, so he immediately retorted to Yoruichi Shihouin: "Look, in the past few years, our Eleventh Division has been the most active division in the entire Gotei 13. No matter where there is a need for battle and extermination, our Eleventh Division has carried out the mission very well and has never failed."

"During my years as captain of the Eleventh Division, I led the Eleventh Division to its peak. Is that what you call laziness?"

"Hey, but Captain Erin, isn't it Vice-Captain Zaraki who's doing all the work in your Eleventh Division?"

"Oh, Captain Yoruichi, isn't this all learned from you?"

“Look at Vice Captain Soi Fon, and then look at you…”

"I was just a little bit luckier than Captain Yoruichi; I got a vice-captain for free."

After Erin finished speaking, he smiled and took out his right thumb and forefinger in front of Yoruichi, making a gesture to indicate the distance of a "fingertip universe".

"roll!"

Having her thoughts exposed by Erin, Yoruichi rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

Only then did Erin begin to take in the scene.

This is the residence of the Ise family. The deceased were naturally the head of the Ise family and her husband.
