In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

Weren't you here to help me?

Why did you two start fighting first?

When Lister saw Muzan's entire body turn into blood as he attacked Madara, he immediately understood where Muzan got the courage to challenge Madara.

It turns out they've developed a new life-saving skill.

It seems that Muzan is developing in the direction of "immortality from a drop of blood" that he mentioned before.

At that moment, Nakime, who was kneeling beside him, handed Lister a cup of coffee.

"Ah, thank you. I do need a cup of coffee to perk myself up and relax."

"You've learned a new blood demon technique too?"

Nakime nodded.

"It's storage space."

"Hmm, it must have been tough for you to tolerate Muzan's temperament."

Lister saw Nakime shake her head and not answer.

"Let's watch their fight together first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lister felt a pair of hands on his shoulders, massaging him.

What a great employee...

Lister fell silent and instead looked at Muzan, who was struggling to cope with Madara's frenzied attacks.

Deception...

Indeed, the only way to actually cut Aizen in the shortest amount of time is through deception.

We can't keep Orihime waiting any longer.

Chapter 99 A Strike Acknowledged by Aizen (5K)

get up!

Orihime Inoue threw off the covers and deftly put on the pure white winter dress, tights, and furry boots that had been specially bought for her.

This was given to her by a beautiful woman wearing a pretty kimono. She seemed to have a good relationship with Mr. Lister, and apparently she was from another world.

After getting dressed, Orihime tidied her hair in front of the mirror and then put on her hair clip.

Let's work hard today too!

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a maid with dog ears.

"Good morning, Betty!"

Orihime Inoue felt a small sense of accomplishment. She remembered everyone living in Red Maple Castle very clearly, including all the maids, the housekeeper Miss Cortini, Miss Reina who trained with her every day, and the two children, Yahiko and Konan, who were several years younger than her, who would occasionally come over.

"Yo, Orihime, good morning!"

Betty was there to take Orihime to breakfast.

The number of people living in Red Maple Castle is increasing, and the guard will be expanded in the future, so they are starting to consider building a large canteen when they rebuild Red Maple Castle.

Now they go to a restaurant together for a meal.

As she walked toward the restaurant, Orihime saw Liszt coming out of it.

Good morning, Mr. Lister!

Lister greeted Orihime with a smile.

"Well, good morning."

"The hair clip is cute, and of course, the person is very pretty."

"You should say she's getting prettier and prettier."

Orihime responded with a shy smile.

"Thank you."

The people here are very kind, especially Mr. Lister, who has always taken good care of her.

If it weren't for them, she probably would have been living in chaos these past few days.

"By the way, Orihime, I might be able to take you back in the next few days."

Ugh?

Orihime was taken aback, and her smile became tinged with bitterness.

“Well, Mr. Lister, actually…”

A hand covered her head.

"Don't worry, no one can arbitrarily take away your happiness, I'm telling you."

"Go have breakfast. I have things to do, so I won't keep you company."

Lister left without looking back.

Watching the other person's departing figure, Orihime felt a little worried.

There's really no need to take such good care of her; she can go back later.

Mr. Lister has been so busy these past few days that he looks quite haggard, clearly because of his promise to bring her back.

She really doesn't deserve to do this...

I hope nothing bad happens.

Lister was unaware of Orihime's thoughts; he was simply looking for trouble.

Today he must cut Aizen to vent his anger, and no one can stop him!

At that moment, in the four villas of Red Maple Forest, Madara, Yuri, and Muzan walked out of their rooms almost simultaneously.

All three received an invitation from Liszt to witness an event.

As for Aizen, he was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the breakfast that had been delivered to him.

The first cup of black tea on a winter morning tastes wonderful.

The next second, he opened his eyes and looked at Liszt who was approaching through his glasses.

Good morning, Mr. Aizen.

Lister maintained a polite smile, identical to Aizen's.

"Good morning."

"What brings you here?"

When Aizen saw Madara, Yuri, and Muzan approaching, a hint of amusement crept onto his smile.

[Lister Eller challenges Aizen Sousuke!]

Aizen gently pushed up his glasses.

"Is that your answer?"

Liszt smiled.

"Yeah, if I don't cut you first, you won't listen to what I'm saying at all."

Aizen put down his teacup and stood up, while the captain's haori fluttered in the cold wind.

"The meaning contained in this statement is correct."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding environment instantly changed, turning into an endless wasteland.

Madara, Yuri, and Muzan stood on a high platform, looking down at Lister and Aizen, who were facing each other in the center of the wasteland.

At this moment, Lister raised his hand and grasped the Royal Sword that emerged from the spatial ripples.

The sound of swords rang out, and the fighting spirit soared.

Seeing this, Aizen didn't even place his hand on his Zanpakuto.

"You think you don't even need to draw your Zanpakuto to deal with me?"

Aizen said nothing, but simply spread his hands and looked at Lister's face with a smile.

Then there is nothing more to say.

Dignity is something you have to fight for!

With a flash of lightning, Lister's longsword was already at Aizen's throat.

Aizen raised his index finger and pointed it at Lister's head.

The Fourth Chapter of the Demonic Path: Revised Blue Glow Thunder.

A streak of turquoise lightning shot out, grazing Lister's hair and piercing the ground.

The white lightning, infused with the properties of annihilation, is even more powerful in terms of penetration and destructive force.

!

Just then, Aizen's eyes widened, and he turned to the side. The blade grazed his neck, drawing a trace of blood.

He quickly used his Instant Step to create distance, and touched the almost healed wound on his neck with his left hand.

"The arm has been extended..."

He looked at Lister and noticed that the other man's arm had actually extended in that instant, which was why he was able to dodge his attack without changing the trajectory of his sword.

This is the first time I've encountered this kind of swordsmanship.

"Not used to it?"

Lister pointed the tip of his sword at Aizen.

"Don't forget that I learned more than just spiritual power."

Muzan, who was watching the battle, laughed. This kind of tactic of confusing the enemy's perception and "hiding" the attack range was her specialty.

However, it's only effective against someone like Aizen the first time.
