Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

So, ever since he picked up Yachiryu, he would pile up enough fodder for two people before the coming of each winter.

When night fell, the two of them would crawl into the warm haystack, chat about random things, and then fall asleep until dawn.

Hay is also a good fire starter. Mixing it with the dry firewood you picked up, it is easy to start a warm bonfire.

Now, the flames of the campfire have become gentle, and the embers are warming the iron pot hanging above.

Wild vegetables and tubers were stewed in an iron pot with coarse salt and a few pieces of dried meat hung to dry.

Kenpachi Zaraki stirred it with a rough wooden spoon and said:

"Yachiryu, eat more."

There was still a lot left at the bottom of the pot, so he scooped up the remaining meat and vegetables and gave it to the pink-haired little girl.

In fact, Kusaka Yachiryu looks like a little adult, but he is also a high-spiritual-powered spirit who needs food and clothing.

After picking up Yachiryu, Kenpachi Zaraki got an iron pot from somewhere and tried to stew various foods.

Sometimes it is wild animals, sometimes it is river fish, and sometimes it is bird eggs.

Mixed with wild vegetables, Ba Qianliu had meat for every meal.

"Hehe, Xiaojian is the best!"

She took the bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Although Kenpachi Zaraki looks careless, the wild game soup he cooked tastes surprisingly good.

Then he scooped out the remaining soup in the pot, poured it into his bowl, and drank it slowly.

In the past, Kenpachi Zaraki would steal other people's food when he was hungry, fall asleep leaning against a corpse when he was sleepy, and carry a knife and look for people to fight when he woke up.

Life is very simple.

With Yachiryu around, eating and sleeping became much more troublesome, but he didn't feel bored at all.

Drinking warm food and sleeping in a warm weed nest has become an indispensable rhythm of life.

"Small Sword~"

Yachiru suddenly called out to him.

"What's wrong, Yachiryu?"

Kenpachi Zaraki turned around and looked into the little girl's clear eyes.

"Xiaojian has a lot on his mind today."

"is it?"

Kenpachi Zaraki scratched his head. It seemed that he had a lot of thoughts today.

He said to Yachiru:

"I don't know what's wrong with me today. I feel so uneasy."

"Maybe he heard that Kenpachi from the 11th Division was coming to see me..."

"Or maybe I saved these two sisters today."

"Anyway, today is a little different."

Outside the house, on the roof, Unohana Retsu sat quietly on the roof, just looking at the moon.

"Why did Kenshin go to find Kenpachi from the 11th Division?"

"Does the 11th Division also have a small sword?"

The pink-haired Yachiru asked Zaraki with curious eyes as he chased after him.

On weekdays, Kenpachi Zaraki seems to have few hobbies other than fighting and chopping people.

But when he learned that the Shinigami of the 11th Division appeared in the 64th District "锖面", Kenpachi Zaraki was so excited that he brought Yachiryu with him and spent a whole day to go there to find "Kengpachi".

But isn't Kenpachi right in front of him?

Yachiru, with pink hair, had big doubts in his big eyes.

"You don't understand, Yachiryu."

"My name is Kenpachi, a name I gave myself."

"And 'Kenpachi' of the Eleventh Division is a title reserved for the powerful Shinigami."

"I really want to meet that 'Kenpachi' soon and have a good fight!"

As Kenpachi Zaraki spoke, he showed an excited expression again.

Fighting against the strong is what he enjoys most!

"Oh~"

When Kenpachi Zaraki said this, Yachiru understood.

It turns out it was still a fight and a chopping of people.

The small sword is still the same small sword.

Yachiru nodded in satisfaction, his eyes curved into crescents.

After chatting for a while, the bonfire gradually died down, leaving only the residual heat.

Kenpachi Zaraki then carried Yachiru to the haystack and grabbed a handful of hay to cover him thickly, leaving only his head exposed.

He casually grabbed a handful of hay, covered his stomach with it, leaned the dented Zanpakuto against his shoulder, and closed his eyes.

........................

"Little sword, little sword!"

Kenpachi Zaraki didn't sleep well.

His stubborn mind rarely let him think too much, which made him half asleep and half awake, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.

Look, I even dreamed that Baqianliu was calling me.

"Xiaojian, Xiaojian, wake up!!"

Yachiryu jumped onto Kenpachi Zaraki's head and yanked his hair hard—

"Ugh!! Yachiryu, what are you doing!——"

Kenpachi Zaraki woke up in pain, holding his head.

It turns out it wasn’t a dream.

He opened his eyes and saw Yachiru standing next to him, his expression... a little serious.

"Hey, Xiaojian."

Yaqianliu pointed in the direction of the bonfire:

"Look there."

Kenpachi looked up, only to find that the space there was being torn apart silently for some unknown reason!

The edges seemed to be torn apart, and the inside was pitch black, with no way out visible.

"This...is this?"

Kenpachi Zaraki frowned, gripped his Zanpakuto, and stood up.

"It just appeared with a whoosh."

"Xiaojian, do you want to go over?"

Yachiru looked at the torn space and asked Kenpachi.

"What a joke, I don't know what's going on over there..."

Although he said this, for some reason, Kenpachi Zaraki's chest gradually felt hot.

It seems like there is something to look forward to on the other side!

At this time, Yaqianliu said:

"Maybe there's a powerful enemy on the other side?"

"And Ken has always wanted to meet Kenpachi from the 11th Division, right?"

"Could this be her coming to see you?"

After Yachiru said this, Kenpachi Zaraki was no longer sleepy!

He held up his Zanpakutō and smiled excitedly:

"If that's the case...it would be nice to go over and take a look—"

After saying that, he raised his knife and strode in with Yachiryu.

The house returned to silence, with only the even breathing of the Feizhen sisters remaining.

At this moment, a figure flashed in the room, and Unohana Retsu appeared in the middle.

Chapter 46: Moon Praying Mantis

Unohana Retsu frowned, looking at the spatial crack in front of him, his tone somewhat uncertain:

"Black cavity?"

She thought for a few seconds and took a step forward to follow.

Then she stopped again and looked at the haystack in the corner of the room - there, a pair of poor sisters were hugging each other, enjoying a rare sleep.

"Ugh——"

But the older girls among them frowned and whimpered in pain from time to time.

Unohana Retsu raised his hand and waved, and his wide sleeves swung out a warm fluorescent light.

The fluorescent light fell on the sisters, and their breathing was no longer rapid, but became smooth.

The girl who was moaning just now relaxed her brows and fell into a deep sleep.

After doing all this, Unohana Retsu did not stay any longer and also entered the "black cavity".

........................

"Hey! Yachiryu—"

“Slow down!!”

Kenpachi Zaraki showed a rare look of embarrassment and panic on his face as he stumbled and ran in the Dangai.

"Hahahaha——Xiaojian is so stupid——"

Yachiryu opened her arms to the left and right, palms facing outward, and started doing the loli airplane run.

"Oh——Xiaojian almost fell down just now!——"

Yachiru mocked Kenpachi Zaraki, his tone filled with joy.

There was no road in this broken world. When Zaraki stepped into the "black cavity", he almost missed a step and fell into the endless turbulence of spirit particles.

It was Yachiru who grabbed him and volunteered to lead the way.

The pink-haired little girl was seen jumping around, leaving blue and white footprints on the ground one after another.

"Wait! Yachiryu!!"

But Yachiru ran away laughing, ignoring his shouts.

Kenpachi Zaraki had no choice but to keep up now.

He had no choice but to follow closely where Ba Qianliu had left his mark.

But there is a problem.

Kenpachi Zaraki is a tall adult male, almost two meters tall.

Yachiru Kusaka is a little girl who is less than one meter tall.

Although Yachiryu was jumping and running, her petite stature made the distance between her footsteps a bit awkward.

If Broken Bee were here, she would summarize it like this:

"One step like a sissy, two steps like a jerk."
