Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 383 The Nobleman Who Had Something to Hide

At this moment, the two guards kneeling on the ground finally had time to carefully examine the benefactor who had saved their young master.

When the black-haired guard saw clearly Asuka's cold and handsome face, and the Zanpakuto at his waist that emitted a special spiritual pressure fluctuation,

His eyes widened, and he stood up excitedly.

"You...you...are that..."

He stretched out his hand, trembling, and pointed at Asuka: "That Asuka-sama, the one who shattered the anti-membrane with a single strike at Twin Phantom Hill... the one personally appointed by the Spirit King Palace as the Reaper's agent... that Asuka-sama?!"

Upon hearing this, the bald guard next to him also suddenly raised his head and spoke in a high-pitched, extremely strange voice: "What?! He's the bald fiend who chopped half of Aizen's face off, even more terrifying than Kenpachi Zaraki?!"

Their faces turned deathly pale instantly, and cold sweat poured down their backs.

They actually drew their swords against this privileged agent of the Spirit King?!

thump!

Without any hesitation.

The two Grim Reapers, who had just been pointing their knives at Asuka, slid to their knees in a perfectly standard dogeza (vertical kneeling) posture in front of Asuka.

His forehead was pressed firmly against the ground, making a dull thud.

This dramatic change in attitude left Ruri Chiyo and Kocho Shinobu stunned.

"When did I become bald?" Asuka frowned.

"Lord Asuka! Please forgive our ignorance and rudeness. We beg your mercy and forgive these two fools!"

"My name is Inuzaki Ryusei, you can call me Inuryu, and this is Sarukawa Nagarezaburo Sarukawa! We are the exclusive bodyguards of the Kasumioji family!"

As he kowtowed, tears streaming down his face, Inu-ryu cried out, "Since you are the Death God's agent appointed by the Spirit King's Palace, you must be a great hero full of justice!"

Enryu also cried out, "Please! Lord Asuka! Please have mercy! A great man doesn't hold grudges against us!"

"ha?"

Asuka looked at the two strange guards kneeling on the ground, not daring to even raise their heads, and felt speechless.

What kind of image do I have in your hearts...?

Are the Grim Reapers of Soul Reaper too idle? They can even spread such outrageous rumors with such detail and conviction.

"...Never mind, get up first." Asuka rubbed her temples helplessly. "I'm not some man-eating demon, I won't just chop people down."

Hearing Asuka say this, Inu-ryu and Enryu felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

The two cautiously raised their heads to confirm that the legendary evil star had no intention of making a move, before helping each other to their feet.

"Honestly, you two grown men are even more timid than me!"

Seeing the two guards' pathetic behavior, Kasumi Rurichiyo couldn't help but curl her lip in disgust.

She placed her hands on her hips, raised her delicate face, and looked Asuka up and down: "So you're Asuka. I've heard the head of the Yunjing family mention your name before. You're not bald after all..."

"Anyway, thank you so much for saving us!"

She lifted the hem of her elaborate kimono and bowed again to Asuka and Shinobu: "If it weren't for you, I might have been in real trouble today."

"You're welcome, it was nothing."

Shinobu Kocho stepped forward, picked up the straw hat with a long veil that had fallen to the ground, and brushed the dust off it for her.

"However, Miss Ruri Chiyo, since you are the noble daughter of the Kasumioji family, why did you come to this mortal world alone with two guards?"

Upon hearing Shinobu's question, Ruri Chiyo's large eyes suddenly darted away.

Her small hands nervously clasped together, and a guilty blush appeared on her cheeks. The arrogant young lady demeanor she had just displayed vanished instantly.

"This...that..."

Ruri Chiyo stammered for a long time, her eyes darting around uncertainly.

She would look up at the sky for a while, then at the ground, but she couldn't bring herself to look Shinobu Kocho in the eye.

"...Alright, alright, actually I...sneaked out!"

As if she had made up her mind, she complained softly, "It's so boring in the Spirit Court! Every day it's the same old formalities, and I have to learn this and that. There's not even anyone to play with! I'm about to suffocate!"

"So, let those two take me to the real world for some fresh air!" She pouted and pointed to the dog-dragon and ape-dragon behind her. "I've heard there are lots of fun things and delicious food in the real world... I just wanted to come out and see for myself!"

At this point, Ruri Chiyo suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Kocho Shinobu's sleeve.

Her big eyes welled up with tears, and she pleaded pitifully, "Pretty sister, and this Uncle Asuka... since you're such good people, please go all the way!"

"Please...please don't tell the head of the Yunjing family about what happened in the mortal world! If my family finds out I sneaked out, they'll definitely drag me back and lock me up in solitary confinement!"

"6

"..." Asuka's lips twitched violently again.

He was clearly still a young man in the prime of his life, so why was he called "uncle" by both delinquent teenagers and little girls in this world?

Does he look that old?

However, although Ruri Chiyo's explanation sounded reasonable, she seemed like a spoiled young lady who was stifled by family rules.

However, Asuka's gaze did not linger entirely on Ruri Chiyo.

His keen intuition noticed that... on the faces of the two guards, Asuka saw no helplessness or headache caused by the young lady's willfulness.

On the contrary, while Ruri Chiyo was speaking, Inuryu's hands were clenched tightly inside his wide sleeves.

As for Enryu, although his eyes behind his sunglasses were unclear, one could tell from his tense body...

Things are definitely not as simple as this naive little girl makes them out to be.

"Oh, I see. Ruri Chiyo is such a mischievous child."

Butterfly smiled knowingly and indulgently, reaching out to gently stroke Ruri Chiyo's blonde hair: "Since you're just out having fun, we naturally don't have the time to tattle on you."

"Don't worry, we won't report this to Soul Society."

"Really?! That's great! Thank you, beautiful sister!" Ruri Chiyo jumped up excitedly, grabbed Kocho Shinobu's arm, and cheered happily.

"...Now that we've come all this way to the real world, how can we not try the local delicacies?" Asuka suddenly spoke up, pointing to the other end of the street, and said to Shinobu, "Shinobu, didn't you say you wanted to try their special cotton candy at the amusement park?"

"Perfect timing, why don't you take this young lady to buy a few to try? I'll chat with these two brothers about the latest gossip in Soul Society."

Asuka's suggestion surprised Shinobu Kocho.

Her eyes flickered, and she vaguely realized something.

This is to get Ruri Chiyo away so that the two guards can be questioned separately...
