Let the Bizarre Adventure of the Joestars begin.

Of course, this is only because Miss Rana is unaware of it; Kisuke Urahara is fully aware of it, which is why he allowed Miss Rana to hold his hand.

Furthermore, considering that he might not be able to defeat Jeanne's Zanpakuto, and that Jeanne currently has almost no fighting ability, Kisuke Urahara did not ask Jeanne to use her spiritual pressure to connect with his Zanpakuto.

After all, if those two were to be resurrected, Kisuke Urahara could say with certainty that he would lose any skirmishes or similar encounters.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, Kisuke Urahara's primary role is that of a researcher, not one of the battle maniacs in the Eleventh Division, so it's normal for him to consider this.

“Yes, you don’t need to connect your spiritual pressure, just hold it.” Seeing that Ms. Jeanne looked a little confused, Kisuke Urahara quickly gave another answer.

Having confirmed her answer, Ms. Jeanne naturally reached out to grasp her Zanpakuto.

However, just as she was about to grasp her Zanpakuto, Yona suddenly stopped. It wasn't due to any external force, but because Yona was now a little hesitant to hold her Zanpakuto. What if, after she grasped the Zanpakuto, those two guys who were frozen here suddenly opened their eyes? Yona wasn't sure if she and Urahara could win in this situation.

Moreover, Miss Jeanne doesn't have much fighting power right now. If only one of them wakes up, Miss Jeanne can handle it, but if both of them are together, Miss Jeanne isn't sure if she can kill them both again.

"Ha~" However, without the connection of spiritual pressure, these two people cannot make it across, so for now, Miss Jeanne only needs to hold the Zanpakuto. But even just holding the Zanpakuto, Miss Jeanne still has a slightly ominous premonition.

Even so, Jeanne will still hold her Zanpakuto. Even if it wakes them both up, Jeanne will still hold her Zanpakuto. It's not because of some nonsense about bonds; it's simply because holding her Zanpakuto will allow her to return to Cecilia and Sirin in the best possible condition.

Therefore, for the sake of the two of them, and for the sake of those who are waiting for her, Miss Jeanne must hold her Zanpakuto firmly and must properly repair her soul to a point where those guys will not worry about her.

Moreover, besides those people, there is another guy who is worried about her. For that person's sake, there are some things that Miss Na must do.

After a few seconds of silence, Jeanne finally chose to grasp her Zanpakuto, even though it could no longer be considered her own. But for the sake of certain people, Jeanne still held onto it.

But after Ms. Jeanne grasped the hilt of the knife, something incredible happened. It was something very interesting, something that neither Kisuke Urahara nor Ms. Jeanne could understand.

The Zanpakuto that had remained unchanged for fifty years, fixed here, gradually dissipated into spirit particles. These dissipating spirit particles lingered briefly beside Jeanne before disappearing completely.

Only the blade remains here.

Miss Jeanne was well aware that this was perhaps the best outcome, and the most suitable one.

However, this is not the explanation of the whole event, nor the end of this research, but rather the beginning of something else.

A blue sphere reappeared from Jeanne's body. Although Jeanne didn't know what the sphere was, Kisuke Urahara, who was beside her, knew very well what it was.

That blue sphere was something Aizen and Kisuke Urahara risked their lives to create; if Soul Society discovered it, both of them would be expelled from Soul Society.

That is, the Hogyoku.

After decades of research and limited studies by Aizen and Kisuke Urahara, they concluded that the Hogyoku possesses its own consciousness.

However, the Hogyoku's consciousness was too weak, and it could only instinctively fulfill the wishes of others. Now, Kisuke Urahara could no longer understand what the Hogyoku was trying to do.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the actions of the Hogyoku have completely exceeded Urahara Kisuke and Aizen's research on the Hogyoku.

"Oh dear." Upon seeing this, even Kisuke Urahara was at a loss for words and could only pull his hat down to hide his expression.

However, what happened next was far more concerning to Kisuke Urahara than what was happening now, such as the regrouping of the previously dissipated spiritual particles.

The pale blue spiritual particles reformed into the likeness of Miss Jeanne, though not exactly the same; rather, they were a younger version of Miss Jeanne. Miss Jeanne looked at this younger version of herself.

Not long after, she opened her eyes.

Her eyes were light blue, just like the color of the spirit particles that had previously dissipated.

And this color is surprisingly beautiful.

However, the Hogyoku reappeared within her body and eventually became embedded in the hilt of Jeanne's Zanpakuto.

Soul Slayer: Chapter Thirty-Six - The So-Called Important Person

The Hogyoku was embedded in Jeanne's Zanpakuto, but Jeanne didn't understand what this meant, and Kisuke Urahara was naturally also confused about the current situation.

However, that creature formed from aggregated spirit particles doesn't seem to harbor any ill will towards Miss Jeanne.

"Who are you?" Seeing the girl's bewildered expression, Miss Jeanne didn't know what to say, because she wasn't sure what to say at this moment. However, asking for her name first was the right thing to do.

The girl didn't answer, but simply pointed to the Hōgyoku inlaid on the hilt of Jeanne's Shikai sword.

Such a gesture naturally made Miss Jeanne understand what the girl meant.

"You mean, you are this?" Miss Jeanne asked softly, as if not to frighten the girl, but in reality, it was just Miss Jeanne's words that came from her experience of taking care of Kiana.

Urahara Kisuke listened with disbelief. After all, the Hogyoku, after being tested by Aizen and himself, should not have any self-awareness. But now, the Hogyoku had actually coalesced into a human form, and it seemed to have its own consciousness.

As for Ms. Jeanne, she was concerned about something else entirely: she only saw the Hōgyoku inlaid on the Shikai, but not on the Bankai.

Miss Jeanne had no idea what this situation meant.

However, given the current situation, even if Ms. Jeanne is very intelligent, she cannot explain it, since she has not studied it. Ms. Jeanne also knows that Kisuke Urahara has not studied the current situation either. Therefore, Ms. Jeanne did not choose to ask Kisuke Urahara, but instead temporarily kept her doubts to herself, and would think about them again after studying them carefully in the future.

After all, putting aside problems that she can't figure out is one of Ms. Jeanne's life habits.

"So, can you speak our language?" Kisuke Urahara asked a new question in response to the current language, but it seemed that the girl didn't really like him.

As soon as Urahara Kisuke asked another question, the girl hid behind Jeanne, leaving only her head peeking out from Jeanne's waist, looking as if she was very afraid of Urahara Kisuke.

"Emmmm, it seems she's afraid of you." Jeanne said to Kisuke Urahara, looking at the girl who was hiding behind him with only her head showing. Then, Kisuke Urahara clearly felt the malice of the world towards him. Although he had Yoruichi Shihouin, a female friend who was almost like a wife, Kisuke Urahara would rather treat her as a buddy than a wife.

However, Kisuke Urahara was well aware of why the girl was afraid of him. After all, if the girl's statement was correct, it wouldn't be surprising if she was afraid of Kisuke Urahara, since the raw materials for the Hogyoku had passed through Kisuke Urahara's hands.

Whether it's the lingering consciousness of those Grim Reapers or something else, it's probably what makes this girl so afraid of Kisuke Urahara.

"So, could you please refrain from interrupting from now on, Mr. Kisuke Urahara?" Miss Jeanne gently patted the head of the girl hiding behind her, reminding Kisuke Urahara in this way.

Looking at the girl who was still slightly enjoying being patted on the head by Ms. Jeanne, Kisuke Urahara felt like he had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, unable to say anything.

However, in the end, Kisuke Urahara said nothing, not only because he didn't know what to say, but also because he knew very well that he shouldn't interrupt at this moment.

"So, can you speak?" Seeing that Kisuke Urahara didn't make any move, Jeanne turned around, squatted down, and asked the girl softly. Of course, she had practiced this on Kiana, since Kiana at the beginning was very shy around everyone except Jeanne and Sirin.

However, considering Kiana's past experiences, her shyness is not entirely incomprehensible.

After listening to Miss Jeanne's words, the girl took a few seconds to understand what she was saying, but ultimately shook her head.

From the girl's actions, Miss Jeanne roughly deduced that the girl might be able to understand what she was saying, but not speak. Miss Jeanne had other questions for the girl to ask.

such as.

"Then can you go back?"

This time, the girl understood quickly. However, her action of first nodding and then shaking her head was a little hard for Miss Jeanne to understand.

However, whether it's because her true form, the Hogyoku, is embedded in Jeanne's Zanpakuto, or because she once lived in Jeanne's body for several decades, at least Jeanne can guess the general meaning even if she doesn't know what she's trying to express.

"EMMMMMMM, do you mean you can go back into my body, but you don't want to go back?" Although the gesture was hard to understand, Miss Jeanne wasn't completely unable to guess what the girl was trying to say; it was just a little difficult to comprehend.

However, the girl's nod confirmed Miss Jeanne's guess.

"So, will you live with me from now on?" Looking at the girl, Miss Renai knew very well that she couldn't abandon her. After all, Miss Renai still had to get up and make amends for what Aizen and Urahara Kisuke had done.

Moreover, Jeanne knew very well that she could not easily abandon this girl. After all, her true form was embedded in her Zanpakuto, which meant that the girl was forever bound to Jeanne.

After a moment's thought, the girl nodded, expressing her intention to live with Miss Jeanne.

Kisuke Urahara watched all of this unfold. He understood Jeanne's intentions perfectly, but the fact that someone else needed to make amends for the mistakes he and Aizen had made was unexpectedly unsettling.

However, no matter what, Kisuke Urahara knew very well that if this girl was still so afraid of him, it meant that he would never be able to make amends to her, just as he would never be able to make amends to those whose souls had been partially taken by Aizen.

Similarly, Aizen naturally couldn't do such a task, because if the girl was so afraid of Urahara Kisuke, who had only just passed through her hands, then Aizen, who would personally take those souls, was even less likely to do so.

Therefore, only Miss Jeanne can do this, and only Miss Jeanne can be an important person to this girl.

Soul Slayer: Chapter Thirty-Seven - Aya

And what happened next was just like before. Miss Jeanne took a maid home, but Miss Jeanne did not fulfill her responsibility as a mother, that is, to take care of the girl.

However, there's really no need to worry about it too much. After all, the girl came from Jeanne's body, so she's well aware that Jeanne can only be awake for five hours a day.

Moreover, her learning ability was exceptionally strong; in just a few days, she learned the language Miss Jeanne spoke and was able to communicate perfectly with her.

Today, Miss Jeanne intends to ask her a small question, a question that seems complicated, but for her, it might be a very simple question.

Of course, this simplicity is just Miss Na's conjecture. After all, she only has a superficial understanding of her own physical condition, while the Hogyoku, which has been inside her body for fifty years, should naturally know much more about it than she does now.

Oh, and by the way, Hogyoku actually recognized Kiana as her mother. Whether it was an accident or a coincidence, Kiana is now a mother again. Of course, Hogyoku is easier to take care of than Kiana after she regained her vitality, since he's busy correcting all the weird things Kiana learned from Sirin, like her tendency to puff up.

Now, compared to Kiana, at least the Hogyoku won't learn those messy things, like being a pufferfish or something.

"Ayai, why can I only be awake for five hours a day?" Jeanne asked softly to the Hogyoku. Ayai was the name Jeanne had given the Hogyoku, although Jeanne always felt that if Ayai was given such a name, she would eventually become a violent nun with a foul mouth.

But even if things turn out that way in the future, Miss Jeanne doesn't care. After all, she couldn't think of a good name for the time being, so she used Aya, which is close to the code name Zero-One, as her name.

“If it’s just me alone, it’s not enough, Mom.” Aya explained Jeanne’s words simply, but what she said made Jeanne not quite understand. After all, Jeanne didn’t think that the amount of spiritual energy enough to constitute a person couldn’t replenish her own state.

"Hey, not enough? Well then, what do you want to eat tonight?" Hearing Ayaka say that it wasn't enough, Miss Jeanne quickly changed the subject. After all, although Miss Jeanne's understanding of her own body wasn't as strong as Ayaka's, if Ayaka said that one person wasn't enough, it meant that Miss Jeanne's body needed at least two Hogyoku to repair itself.

Furthermore, the properties of the two Hōgyoku may not be identical.

According to what Ms. Jeanne knows, Ayai is very likely composed of the spirit particles of a Grim Reaper and a normal person. The spirit particles that slipped out of Ms. Jeanne's body seem to be more than just the spirit particles of a Grim Reaper and a normal soul.

The spirit particles that constitute Bankai are the Hollow spirit particles that Ms. Jeanne obtained after fighting for a long time in Hueco Mundo.

Although the basic theory that spirit particles have no attributes or biases often tells Miss Jeanne that even the spirit particles of the Grim Reaper and ordinary souls can complete your soul, it turns out that this thing can't do that.

Regarding this point, Miss Jeanne had a new conjecture, a very simple one. Although there might be something wrong with this conjecture, it must be said that this conjecture did make Miss Jeanne understand something.

That is, the spirit particles that Miss Jeanne needs are spirit particles that can already be transformed into spirit particles used by Hollows. Although Shinigami and normal people have the possibility of transforming into spirit particles used by Hollows, they have not gone through this process. Therefore, Miss Jeanne guesses that Ayai's spirit particles may not be able to transform into a Hollow state.

The reason why Aizen was previously hinted at making the Hogyoku, which was composed of Hollow spirit particles, was also for this reason.

Similarly, after learning new information from Ayai, Miss Jeanne became even more certain that her conjecture was correct.
