Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 382 The Young Master of the Kasumioji Family

roar-!!!

Just as those crucial words were about to burst from his lips.

A piercing roar, filled with savagery and greed, violently shattered the tranquility of the twilight!

That sound was not something any wild beast in the mortal world could make; it was a roar unique to the void!

"Help...help me! Someone save me!"

A childish voice, trembling with sobs, came from the area behind them, which was covered by the pressure of the Void Spirit.

Asuka and Shinobu suddenly stood up.

Not far behind, five or six enormous lower-level Void beings with various deformed limbs and bony masks were frantically chasing a little girl who was running desperately down the tree-lined path.

"Honestly... every time it gets to a crucial moment, there's always this annoying guy causing trouble."

Shinobu's face was now so black it looked like ink could drip from it.

In a fit of anger, she released her Gikai and drew her Zanpakuto.

The last time Asuka saw him so serious and angry was back when he fought Upper Moon Two.

Swish!

Her figure vanished in an instant, leaving only a shallow footprint on the ground in front of the bench.

Of course, Asuka wouldn't let her face it alone, so she quickly ate the cotton candy and hurriedly followed after her.

The little girl looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old.

On this hot summer day, she was wearing a gorgeous and elaborate ancient kimono, and on her head she was wearing an exaggerated conical hat with a long veil hanging down.

The heavy outfit greatly hindered her running speed, causing Xu to catch up faster and faster.

"Huff... Huff... You ugly freaks! Don't follow me!" the little girl shouted as she ran.

Although she was so scared that she kept crying, her tone still carried a hint of spoiled arrogance.

A phantom with mantis-like forelimbs roared and leaped up, its sharp bone scythe flashing coldly in mid-air before slashing straight down at the little girl's back!

The little girl was about to die on the spot.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Asuka never expected that Shinobu Kocho's Zanpakuto was not only good at healing, but also so sharp.

The mantis, which was leaping in mid-air, only saw a flash of light before its eyes, and it was cut into several pieces and turned into ashes.

The other creatures instinctively stopped, sensing the low pressure emanating from ahead.

Shinobu Kocho was in a terrible mood, absolutely terrible...

The spirit insects buzzed in her anger, each revealing its sharp fangs, forming several sharp web-like blades in mid-air.

Silently, Shinobu turned her feet and moved like a ghost among the phantoms, dismembering them all in the blink of an eye.

Severed limbs and black blood were scattered all over the ground, and they were quickly burned to ashes.

"Terrible..." Asuka swallowed hard. "Shinobu is much fiercer when she gets angry now than before..."

thump!

While Shinobu Kocho was wreaking havoc, a little girl tripped and fell over.

Because she ran too fast, and the feeling of relief that came from the sudden elimination of the Hollows caused her to lose her balance, and her straw hat rolled off to the side.

Feiniao then saw clearly that she had short golden hair and delicate features like a porcelain doll, and was obviously a child from a large family.

"Hey kid, are you alright?"

He immediately knelt down and helped the little girl up.

"N-nothing...it's okay." The little girl looked at the bird in front of her, still shaken.

Asuka checked her over and, seeing that she didn't seem to be injured, asked curiously, "It's good that you're alright, but how did you manage all by yourself..."

'

Before he could finish speaking...

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Two swift figures suddenly darted out from the nearby woods!

Although these two were wearing Shinigami uniforms, their styles were somewhat different from those of the Gotei 13, and their clothes did not have any squad markings.

One of them had messy, short black hair, while the other wore sunglasses and was bald.

"Let go of Lady Rurichiyo!!"

As soon as they landed, the two drew their Zanpakuto from their waists and charged towards Asuka.

"How inexplicable! Are they in cahoots with those fakes from before?"

Asuka shielded the little girl behind her, staring warily at the two people opposite her.

"Who are you?! How dare you be so disrespectful to our esteemed young master!" the black-haired Grim Reaper shouted sternly.

Asuka frowned slightly, stepped forward, and placed her hand on the hilt of her sword.

"Hey, hey, are you even being reasonable?" Shinobu Kocho, furious, stood in mid-air and said, somewhat angrily, "We were the ones who saved this little girl, so why are you turning around and attacking us?"

The two Grim Reapers paused for a moment, glanced at the few remaining black ashes on the ground, and then felt the lingering, brutal spiritual pressure in the air.

It seems...that's indeed the case...

The two exchanged a glance and swallowed.

Just then, the little girl who was being protected by Asuka suddenly went berserk.

"You two big idiots!!!"

The little girl ran over angrily.

boom!boom!

He jumped up and, without any hesitation, gave each of them a resounding thud on the forehead.

"Ouch! Lady Ruri Chiyo, why did you hit us?" The two Shinigami covered their heads and squatted on the ground, feeling wronged.

"How dare you ask!" The little girl, named Ruri Chiyo, pointed at them angrily and yelled, "Where were you two guards when I was being chased all over the place by those monsters?!"

"If it weren't for this beautiful lady saving me, I would have become those monsters' snacks long ago!"

"As guards of the Kasumigaoka family, you actually put me in such a dangerous situation! When we get back, I'll dock all your pay!"

After being thoroughly berated by the little girl, the two burly Grim Reapers didn't even dare to argue back, and could only kneel on the ground and kowtow repeatedly.

"I am so sorry, Lady Rurichiyo! It was our negligence in protecting her! Please punish us!"

"We were just entangled by two other particularly powerful Hollows, and it was only with great difficulty that we managed to escape... We are truly sorry!"

After reprimanding her guards, Ruri Chiyo straightened her disheveled clothes and returned to Asuka and Kocho Shinobu.

Despite her young age, she tried her best to maintain a dignified and polite demeanor, slightly raising her chin.

"Thank you both for your help earlier. My name is Kasumi Rurichiyo."

"Please state your names and your respective squads. I will reward you handsomely upon my return!"

"The Kasumioji family?" Shinobu Kocho was slightly taken aback after landing.

During her time in the Fourth Division, she also learned about the power structure of the Soul Society.

The Kasumi family is an extremely prestigious upper-class noble family, second only to the five great noble families in terms of prestige and power.

Their family not only monopolized the forging and supply of many special weapons and armors within the Spirit Court, but also specialized in the casting and maintenance of ceremonial knives for the five noble families.

It can be said that he is the most important blacksmith besides the sword god Oetsu, and holds a pivotal position in Soul Society.

How could such a distinguished upper-class nobleman arrive in the mortal world in such a sorry state with only two guards, and be chased by the Void?
