Soul Slayer: Chapter 30 Aizen Sensing Something

In short, the whole matter has been resolved satisfactorily... or so?

Three days after this matter was resolved, Miss Jeanne was able to wake up from her coma for two or three hours each day, albeit barely.

And Miss Jeanne sees Aizen the first thing every morning when she wakes up.

"Hey, Aizen, I'm telling you, didn't you go to be the third seat of the Fifth Division? Don't you have anything to do?" Jeanne complained, looking at Aizen who was in front of her every morning when she woke up.

"Although I'm the third seat, most of the work is actually handled by the captain, vice-captain, and ninth seat." This was Aizen's explanation for Jeanne's complaint. Although Jeanne didn't quite believe it, at least she got an explanation. As long as he said it on the surface, Jeanne would pretend she didn't know.

Besides, Miss Jeanne really does need someone to take care of her.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to have improved your cooking skills so much over the years, Aizen," Jeanne said, watching the figure busy in the kitchen.

Spirits don't need to eat, of course, under normal circumstances. In general, spirits in Soul Society only need to drink water, but that's not the case for Ms. Jeanne.

Miss Jeanne's current situation is different; she has a severe deficiency of her own spiritual energy, which is why she needs a large amount of external spiritual energy to replenish it. Food and water in Soul Society actually contain a lot of spiritual energy, but water is much easier to obtain than food. Therefore, most ordinary spirits without abilities simply drink water to solve the problem, while some nobles and a few Shinigami obtain more spiritual energy by eating.

"No, that's not true. My cooking skills have always been excellent. It's just that I don't need to cook most of the time in Soul Society." Aizen replied to Jeanne's complaints while cooking some unknown vegetables.

“That makes a lot of sense, and I can’t find any reason to refute it.” As for Aizen’s explanation, Miss Jeanne couldn’t find any fault with it either.

"By the way, Jeanne, how are you feeling?" Hearing Jeanne's voice, which no longer sounded like she was about to explode just three days ago, Aizen changed the subject and asked her.

"Aizen, why did you suddenly ask this?" Miss Renna smoothly picked up on Aizen's awkward change of topic.

"Because I always feel like you have so many things to do." Aizen explained simply why he wanted to know this; however, he only vaguely sensed that Jeanne always had things to do.

After all, two hundred years ago, Jeanne's body could have been dealt with after Aizen gained the strength. However, faced with that situation, Jeanne still chose to go to Hueco Mundo alone. Kisuke Urahara felt that Jeanne did this because he believed that Jeanne thought she might die soon, and research data also proved that if Jeanne fought, it would indeed lead to death. Therefore, considering these points, Kisuke Urahara opened the door for Jeanne to go to Hueco Mundo.

Aizen, however, had a different opinion on this matter. His opinion was quite simple: Miss Yona had something to do, and it was something urgent.

Therefore, what Aizen realized back then became the reason for the questions he is raising now.

"Well, you guessed right. After all, I wouldn't be in such a hurry if it were just about me." Hearing Aizen's words, Jeanne admitted it directly; after all, she remembered very clearly why Jeanne had gone on her long trip.

"I see. Well then, I won't ask any more questions. After all, it's not a good thing to keep asking about someone's past." After confirming why Miss Jeanne was in such a hurry, Aizen didn't plan to ask any further. Because some things are better left unsaid.

Having confirmed that he had asked almost everything he wanted to ask, and with the pot almost ready for Jeanne, Aizen only had a few things left to do.

For example, watching Jeanne eat, and then watching Miss Jeanne go to bed.

However, no matter what happens next, Aizen felt there was no need to ask any further questions. After all, he was just a friend. Of course, the word "friend" seemed a little off to most people.

However, Aizen doesn't seem to have realized his own feelings yet, so everyone tacitly refrained from telling him about it. After all, some things wouldn't turn out the way they do if Aizen didn't understand them himself. But judging from Aizen's current state, it might take him a long time to realize them on his own; as for how long, nobody can say for sure.

"Aren't you eating today either?" Jeanne asked Aizen, who had just brought out the food. As for why Aizen was carrying out the dishes alone, Jeanne wanted to help, but Aizen shut her down with the words, "You're a patient." But Aizen seemed to have forgotten that he had fainted from exhaustion a few days ago.

"Well, my body isn't as weak as yours." Aizen answered Jeanne's question simply, and that was enough. After all, eating with Jeanne when most Shinigami don't eat is indeed a little uncomfortable. Of course, the reason for this discomfort wasn't the food itself, but something else—eating with Jeanne made Aizen feel nervous.

"Hmm, alright." As for Aizen's refusal, Miss Jeanne didn't say anything. After all, although Miss Jeanne had asked every day for the past three days, Aizen hadn't agreed each time. Although it wasn't a big deal that Aizen didn't agree, it was still very uncomfortable for Miss Jeanne to have someone watching her while she ate.

However, in any case, Jeanne's health has indeed improved little by little under Aizen's care, so let's just ignore the fact that Aizen doesn't eat with Jeanne.

After all, there will probably be many more opportunities to eat together in the future.

In short, Chapter Four is complete, and... well, I won't say more.

Soul Slayer: Chapter 31 Aizen (Awareness, JPG)

A long time has passed since that day, and as for exactly how long that long time is, Miss Jeanne has begun to lose count.

However, regardless of what happened, Miss Jeanne still hasn't received news that Kiana shattered the Lesser Grail. This has made Miss Jeanne realize one thing: the different flow of time between worlds.

However, upon closer reflection, such a thing might be quite normal. But considering that no one has ever traveled between worlds, it means that no one knows what the flow of time is like between the two worlds.

"What are you thinking about, Jeanne?" Aizen asked softly, not wanting to interrupt Jeanne's thoughts, as he saw her looking somewhat lost in thought.

"I'm thinking about my daughter." As for Aizen's question, Miss Jeanne answered very simply.

"Eh? You have a daughter?!" Aizen was slightly surprised by this fact, which he was hearing for the first time. After all, Jeanne's figure and appearance did not seem like that of someone who would have a daughter.

"Adopted." Having spent nearly a decade with Aizen, Miss Jeanne naturally understood what Aizen's gaze meant. And it was precisely because she understood that Miss Jeanne knew what Aizen's rude gaze meant.

"Adopted? What's your daughter's name? I've never heard you mention it in all these decades." Aizen was naturally very concerned about Miss Jeanne, and given their hundreds of years of interaction, he naturally asked directly.

"Kiana, Kiana K. Joestar, one of the main reasons I came out is for her." Kiana explained simply to Aizen's question, but it was clear that Aizen was not satisfied with her explanation at all. The reason for his dissatisfaction was that Aizen knew too little information. With so little information, it was difficult for Aizen to judge how to treat Kiana's daughter properly if he met her.

However, Aizen overlooked one thing, a very important thing: decades have passed, and he doesn't even know if Kiana is alive or dead. Isn't it a bit premature to be thinking about these questions? But from Aizen's perspective, he might actually run into Kiana in Soul Society.

"I remember saying before that I'm not from this world." Seeing Aizen's slightly off look, Jeanne quickly guessed what Aizen was thinking. But if they had lived together for decades and still hadn't noticed something so simple, then it would be a dereliction of duty.

"Huh? Hmm, I did say that." Aizen, whose reverie had been jolted awake by Jeanne's words, suddenly realized what was happening and began to wonder if he had lost his mind.

“The flow of time in Kiana’s world must be different from ours, so even though Kiana has one of the trump cards I gave her, she is still our daughter after all…” As she said this, a hint of worry for her daughter was revealed in her eyes.

This is a very rare occurrence, and one that Aizen would never normally see. After all, given that Yona has been awake for less than five hours a day for the past few decades, it's difficult for Aizen to even see Yona with this kind of expression.

Moreover, this so-called five hours has not increased for a full ten years, which means that the original Hogyoku (named by Aizen and Kisuke Urahara) has reached its limit.

However, from an observational perspective, Ms. Jeanne is still absorbing spiritual particles every day, but neither Aizen nor Kisuke Urahara knows where these spiritual particles end up.

"But what if your daughter suddenly comes looking for you while you're unconscious?" Aizen's next question left Jeanne somewhat at a loss for words. However, given the current situation, it was understandable that Jeanne couldn't think of a solution. After all, Aizen and Kisuke Urahara had never told Jeanne how they had managed to mend her broken soul.

"Then you'll have to ask them." To Aizen's sudden question, Ms. Jeanne quickly passed the buck back to her. After all, neither Aizen nor Urahara Kisuke had told her, which meant that Ms. Jeanne didn't have to do any work at all.

However, it just meant she wouldn't have to work anymore. After all, Miss Jeanne had already guessed from a lot of information what Aizen and Kisuke Urahara had done to save her.

“That’s right, that’s my problem. Jeanne, just wait for my news.” Looking into Jeanne’s eyes, Aizen felt that Jeanne seemed to have guessed something, but Aizen was also very clear that this matter could not be kept from Jeanne at all.

Similarly, Aizen knew even better that Jeanne would eventually say she didn't know about this matter. After all, although Jeanne was a good person, if she didn't know about this, she wouldn't need to think about anything else.

Jeanne is a good and intelligent person. So even though she realized what Aizen and Urahara Kisuke had done to wake her up, she wisely chose not to find out. After all, it's better to pretend you don't know than to say it.

"So, you're leaving, Vice-Captain Aizen?" Seeing Aizen about to leave to find Urahara Kisuke because of her words, Ms. Jeanne teased Aizen by using a slightly different form of address.

"That's about it. We need to take care of the Fifth Division's official duties and your issues." As for Jeanne's teasing, Aizen didn't really refute it. After all, they'd lived together for decades, and if he had to refute every joke, he'd be exhausted.

"Oh, right, Aizen, I really enjoy watching you kill Hollows." Ranna said casually as she watched Aizen turn to leave.

Although Aizen was momentarily excited, it only took him a second to understand what Jeanne was trying to say.

And that means very simply, it's just plain.

This time, let's use the ethereal spirit particles again.

Having understood this meaning, Aizen naturally thought of something new.

That is, there is a possibility that Jeanne's activity time could be extended by five hours. Although it is a little difficult to notice, after being reminded by Jeanne, Aizen knew what he should do.

Soul Slayer: Chapter Thirty-Two - The Beautiful Girl and the Researcher (Seriously)

Coincidentally, after Jeanne gave Aizen her hint, Aizen volunteered to join the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force.

Of course, Hueco Mundo actually has no enmity with Soul Society. However, the Hueco Mundo expeditionary force was only organized after the Shinigami stationed in the human world recently reported some very interesting information. That information was that the number of Hollows arriving in the human world had increased significantly, and some of them were suspected to be Vasto Lorde-level Hollows.

Although Hollows of that level would soon be forced to kill people due to the abundance of spiritual particles in the atmosphere once they went to the human world, the number of Gillian-level Hollows appearing in the human world is also abnormal, even without Vasto Lorde-level Hollows. The Hueco Mundo Expedition was launched to find the reason for this abnormality.

Moreover, if we must say something, the Gotei 13 of the Seireitei are actually enough to sweep across half of Hueco Mundo. Of course, this refers to quality; in terms of quantity, the number of Shinigami is far less than the number of Hollows.

The simplest example is when Jeanne was surrounded by hundreds of Gillian-level Menos Grande after entering a large area of ​​desert in Hueco Mundo. If Jeanne's Zanpakuto hadn't been so powerful at that time, she might have had to use Herrscher transformation to solve the problem.

However, this Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force is actually quite problematic.

After all, it would be better to send a small team to investigate the cause. However, this time, the number of troops dispatched by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was indeed a bit too large. First, there was a quarter of the members of the Fourth Division led by Unohana Retsu, and then most of the members of the Eleventh Division.

Secondly, it seems that Kuchiki Ginrei sent Kuchiki Sōjun out to train her son. However, Kuchiki Ginrei should have known long ago that her son did not have the talent to become the captain of the Sixth Division, but she still sent Kuchiki Sōjun out. Was it to make her son a little stronger so that she wouldn't have to worry about him so much later?

But no matter what, this operation definitely seemed a bit off to Miss Na.

But even if something is wrong, what does it have to do with Miss Jeanne? On the contrary, this action actually provides Miss Jeanne with a great help.

After all, Ms. Jeanne is going to cooperate with Kisuke Urahara on a dangerous experiment, and because this experiment is too dangerous, it's best not to let Aizen know about it, because if Aizen knows, he will definitely stop Ms. Jeanne.

"May we begin, Miss Jeanne?" Kisuke Urahara asked Miss Jeanne, his voice devoid of emotion.

“Yes, I’m ready.” Ms. Jeanne answered Urahara Kisuke’s question.

Right now, Ms. Jeanne and Kisuke Urahara are in the middle of nowhere, and how desolate is this place? Probably to the point that no sane spirit in Soul Society would ever come here.

The current situation can probably be described with a very interesting phrase: "A stunningly beautiful married woman and a researcher explore the secrets of the human body."

However, putting aside the seemingly joking remark above, in reality, considering what the two of them are about to do, describing Ping is completely accurate, even perfectly correct, at most it's just a matter of using the wrong words.

"Then let's begin." After confirming that the experiment could begin, Miss Jeanne stretched out one hand and snapped her fingers.

This action is Jeanne's way of hinting to herself. Herrscher abilities are something that can be used at any time, but the Herrscher core of the Herrscher of the Void in Jeanne's body will eventually have to be returned to Sirin. Considering this, Jeanne ultimately chose to use this action as her hint.

This implies that he is now able to use the Herrscher's abilities.

With that snap of her fingers, Miss Jeanne's feet lifted slightly off the ground, as if the Earth's gravity was no longer binding her.

"Is this what you meant by Herrscher transformation, Jeanne?" Kisuke Urahara asked, looking at Jeanne, whose face and hairstyle hadn't changed, but who gave off a completely different vibe.

"Well, next, I'll take you to the Imaginary Dimension to see my two Zanpakuto." Jeanne casually explained to Kisuke Urahara's doubts, but that was enough. After all, the primary goal of this experiment wasn't Herrscher transformation, but the two Zanpakuto that Jeanne had killed in the Imaginary Dimension.

What happened next was something that Urahara Kisuke, the researcher, could not understand at all. After all, to be able to directly transform a space without any action or manipulation of spiritual particles was too easy for a researcher to fall into the disillusionment of research and basic theories. But fortunately, Urahara Kisuke was not just a researcher; he was also the captain of the Gotei 13. And the most important thing to become a captain is to have sufficient combat power.
