Chapter 325, Section 322: A Visit

"In that case, when I take care of the Kurosaki family boy, I'll also keep an eye on your young lady."

Thank you for your understanding.

"Haha, you're welcome, you're welcome~ It's just that your family's power development is already quite advanced, to be honest—at my current level, it probably wouldn't be of much help—"

"That's not true."

Yusuke Matsushita has a lot to say on this point.

"That girl has basically just been acting recklessly by relying on her talent—she doesn't even need to take a serious attitude against opponents of other levels."

Upon hearing this, Kisuke Urahara's smile carried a hint of helplessness.

"But there aren't many opponents like your young lady who she needs to take seriously —"

Yusuke Matsushita fell silent for a moment, which was uncommon.

The combination of the three powers gives it a talent that is among the best in the Three Realms.

But this is absolutely not the reason for being "invincible".

After all, the development and understanding of abilities are different. Even Aizen, who is a fusion of Shinigami and Hollow powers in a simple sense, has a considerable effect in terms of results.

It should be noted that even Yhwach, who had awakened his three eyes, was still affected by Aizen's genjutsu.

This is enough to show that skills themselves have the value of being honed and studied in depth.

When Matsushita Yusuke said that, he was essentially trying to reassure Urahara Kisuke so as not to put unnecessary pressure on him.

At the same time, he was also trying to explain himself.

Having a good foundation is actually the reason to keep working hard.

After a brief moment of thought, Kisuke Urahara was about to say something more when the door behind him was suddenly kicked open.

Yoruichi, now in her black cat form, leaped in from outside and tossed what she was holding in her mouth onto the table.

Meow~

"Oh, thank you for your hard work. Come on, Miss Yoruichi, do you want me to scratch your itch?"

These two were somewhat restrained in Soul Society, but now that they're in the Human World, they seem to be going all out.

After making a tactical lean back motion, Matsushita Yusuke casually shifted his gaze to the side.

I won't get involved in your special interests.

However, the important matters still need to be dealt with first.

Yusuke Matsushita reached out and took the box from the table, clutching it in his hand.

"Is this the Hogyoku?"

It's normal to have such doubts.

After all, this thing is just a cardboard box used to hold eggs.

Someone who didn't know better might think it was some kind of farm delivery service.

Kisuke Urahara, who was having a great time playing with Yoruichi, looked up with a cheerful smile and looked in their direction.

"Oh, yes, yes~ It looks a bit ordinary, doesn't it? But that's part of our strategy. After all, as long as it looks ordinary enough and doesn't attract attention, no one else should care, right?"

There's nothing wrong with that statement.

Yusuke Matsushita nodded silently and flicked open the paper pages.

His gaze fell on the items on the inside.

It is completely round and has no unique features in terms of shape—it even looks like a cheap glass ball.

Matsushita Yusuke's mind seemed to stop working for a moment.

After all, he had seen the appearance of half of the Hogyoku with Aizen before, and it was very different from the one in front of him. So, was the shape of this half of the Hogyoku itself so strange?

After a brief moment of thought, Matsushita Yusuke seemed to understand something, and suddenly reached out, grasped it in his hand, and raised it slightly.

After examining it for a while, Matsushita Yusuke's spiritual power was activated and poured into it until it was completely integrated into the object in his hand.

call----

The sphere that Matsushita Yusuke was holding suddenly began to glow.

The bright light illuminated the entire room, causing a cat and a person not far away to stop what they were doing and look in their direction.

The once ordinary sphere now radiated an extremely brilliant light, as dazzling as the rising sun.

Matsushita Yusuke's gaze fell upon it, and at that moment, a knowing expression appeared on his face.

I see----

"Were some methods used to conceal it, preventing others from directly observing the unique features of the Hōgyoku?"

"Haha, they're just some petty tricks that don't meet your standards~"

It's just modesty.

It's important to know that Matsushita Yusuke made almost every wrong judgment in the instant he saw it.

You should know that unless something has absolutely no value, it should at least retain some spiritual energy perception and reaction.

But you can't feel any difference at all on this thing.

It would be a lie to say I didn't find it strange.

Moreover, Yusuke Matsushita was able to make such a judgment only after taking into account Kisuke Urahara's identity and behavioral logic.

He now wore a very emotional expression regarding this result.

"Couldn't you use this kind of energy for something worthwhile?"

Kisuke Urahara was originally a rare research specialist in the three realms, but due to being framed by Aizen, he has now come to the human world.

Although he lacked the research resources of the Soul Society, precisely because he was free from the constraints of rules and regulations, he actually researched other, even stranger things—

It can only be said that Kisuke Urahara's talent is truly extraordinary.

"Haha, you're being too polite, Captain Matsushita."

He smiled and touched one side of his cheek, speaking with a slightly wistful tone.

"I'm no longer a captain. I'm just a wanted, low-class vagrant trying to make a living in this world. So, I don't need to think too much about the research I do. Just thinking about what's convenient for me is enough."

There's really no room for criticism on that.

After all, this was something that Yusuke Matsushita and others came up with.

"Sorry, I don't think I'm qualified to say these things."

Faced with Matsushita Yusuke's apology, the latter waved his hand dismissively and said with a smile.

"It's okay~ Don't worry about it, I don't care much about it myself anymore, it's already happened—I'm quite happy living here."

With this, the exchange between the two sides has come to a temporary end.

The original purpose of this trip was to explain the situation, and judging from the current situation, both objectives have been achieved.

Yusuke Matsushita stood up and said with a smile.

"In that case, without further ado, I'll go first—"

"Oh, are you already leaving?"

Kisuke Urahara took off his fisherman's hat and bowed slightly as a farewell gesture.

"Then I won't deliver it?"

"You're too kind. Also, about my daughter—"

"Haha, while I can't say 'I've got this covered,' I'll definitely do what I can."

"That's fine, thank you."

Having achieved his goal, Matsushita Yusuke turned and left.

Watching the other person's decisive back, Yoruichi leaned on the edge of the table and let out a yawn-like shout.

Although nothing was said.

But between an old married couple, some things are enough without needing to be said.

"What? Miss Yoruichi is saying this guy isn't worried about his own kids at all? Haha, you're joking~"

With a helpless pursed lip, Kisuke Urahara revealed a face full of emotion.

"That guy's daughter is no ordinary person—she has already completed her power awakening and has also mastered a certain degree of fusion techniques. Even if I go all out, I am no match for her."

"Meow?"

"Yeah, but we won't lose. After all, a death match and a casual encounter are not the same thing—that girl definitely lacks experience in this kind of life-or-death battle. But ultimately, it's normal for young people these days not to understand this, right?"

Kisuke Urahara chuckled and added.

"After all, things are different now than before, when we needed to use the blood of the enemy to prove our ideas were correct at every turn—peacetime requires a peaceful way of life, and that's enough."

Meow~

"Want me to tickle you again? I just can't do anything with you—come on!"

Let's leave aside for now how crazy the old couple are.

As he left Kisuke Urahara's shop, Yusuke Matsushita also took the opportunity to greet the shop assistants, whose expressions were complicated, in a gentle manner.

Tetsuzai just stared at him, his lips pressed tightly together as if he didn't know what to say.

Of course—seeing the other person's hands clenched tightly, their feelings at this moment were clearly far from as calm as they appeared on the surface.

Considering the current situation and thoughts of both parties, Matsushita Yusuke chose to leave quickly.

However, after accomplishing his purpose, he did not return directly to Soul Society, but instead chose to take a detour for a while.

Lift your leg and walk.

Although theoretically, Death cannot use its power in the mortal world—because the manifestation of a spirit would cause the mortal world to collapse and would also have irreversible effects on other living beings.

But Yusuke Matsushita did not have such concerns.

Because he wasn't using techniques from the Grim Reaper.

Buzz————

His figure seemed to have squeezed into a different level of space, and with a hissing echo, he disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, his figure appeared in an area fifty meters away.

He stopped and turned around to look behind him.

"—It's a little short."

But that's understandable.

While the abilities of the unreal world have a certain degree of compatibility with the real world, it is absolutely not a reason to do whatever one wants.

Even when considering the ordinary people living here, Matsushita Yusuke had to act with a bit of restraint.

Otherwise, if it affects the present world, you'll be in deep trouble.

Using a constantly shifting movement, Matsushita Yusuke's figure flashed forward, finally stopping beside a relatively familiar street.

What comes into view is a familiar little villa.

The words "Kurosaki Clinic" were right in front of him, catching his eye and causing a slightly subtle expression to appear on his face.

Come to think of it, it's been many years since I last came here.

Snapped!

The door was pushed open, and two maids rushed out of the room, shouting as they ran.

"Buying some soy sauce and mirin, right? I'll be right back!"

As the two darted past him, Matsushita Yusuke looked thoughtfully at the two sisters.

She's Ichigo Kurosaki's sister, right?

Although she does possess a certain level of spiritual power, that's all.

Compared to a regular army, they are too few in number, but with careful guidance and training, they might become a formidable fighting force.

However, neither of these two possessed the aura that Matsushita Yusuke had sensed.

In other words, these two children can only become spirits, and do not possess the characteristics of a fusion of powers.

It's a little disappointing, but that's all.

After all, Matsushita Yusuke's attention was not on the two of them. He was just calmly watching the door until a flustered figure approached the doorway and shouted loudly to the outside.

"There's also a box of curry paste! Don't forget!!!"

He was shouting at the top of his lungs, wearing an apron, and looked somewhat comical and funny.

He seemed to want to continue shouting something, but before he could speak, the figure behind him stepped forward and kicked him in the butt.

"This is so annoying! I can't hear anything anymore, I should just call Youzi and the others!"

"Ouch—Ichigo, aren't you being a little too disrespectful?!"

Noisy daily life is the norm for this family, both in the past and today.

It should have continued like this.

only--

As if suddenly sensing something, Kurosaki Isshin abruptly stopped what he was doing and looked outwards.

His gaze swept across Matsushita Yusuke's face, and his eyes seemed to freeze for a moment.

Kurosaki Isshin watched the other person turn and leave, his eyes widening almost instantly.

"Wait—never mind. Hey, Ichigo! Put your things away—I'll be right back."

He handed a huge pile of kitchen utensils to Ichigo, and before he could even put on his usual white coat, he rushed out the door.

The latter seemed to be able to sense that something was subtly changing, but for Kurosaki Ichigo, who had never been exposed to this other side of the world and was still a model student, he had no idea what the current situation was.

He simply frowned and looked thoughtfully at the spot where Matsushita Yusuke had just stood.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

He always felt that—

"I think there was someone familiar standing right there in that spot?"

Soon, Ichigo Kurosaki silently shook his head.

He seemed to chuckle at the idea himself, his gaze lowered as he sighed softly, forcing himself not to think about it too much.

While it's possible to see ghosts and other strange things, anything too supernatural is a bit far-fetched.

Moreover, Ichigo Kurosaki wasn't interested in this either.

Perhaps—it's just a passing breeze?

As for Kurosaki Isshin...

Considering the other person's easily startled temperament, Ichigo naturally understood why the other person left without saying goodbye.

Anyway, it's not the first time.

Hopefully I can make it in time for the curry rice tonight.
