The only player in the world of Bleach

That's an exaggeration...

However, the reward this time seems a bit too meager.

So, should we try refreshing?

Yusuke Matsushita rubbed his chin, and after a brief moment of thought, he smiled and said.

"Maybe we should just forget about it? After all, you don't seem to have gotten any stronger lately. I don't want to bully people."

"……ha?!!"

Seeing Soi Fon's fur standing on end, Matsushita Yusuke's mission also changed accordingly.

Yes, yes, refreshing the task is correct.

039: Rule-based Zanpakuto

Soi Fon builds up her anger through constant provocation.

Matsushita Yusuke only stopped his 'suicidal' act when he saw that there was no more activity in the task bar.

"Alright, that's settled then... When would you like to have the match?"

"Now, here, right now!"

"So we're not going to clean it? What do you think Yama-ichi will think when she comes over tomorrow and sees this mess?"

"Gulp... You despicable person!"

Yusuke Matsushita smiled and set the date for the day after tomorrow.

"Why can't it be tomorrow?!"

"The day after tomorrow would be better, so you should get some rest... Also, it would be very embarrassing for you to lose in front of Yoruichi, wouldn't it?"

【Furious Golden Lion (not really) - Angry Soi Fon】

[Synopsis: She still really dislikes you, believing that someone like you shouldn't even be here... One person like Kisuke Urahara is enough!]

[Rewards: Soi Fon's Affection +?, Shunpo +3, Elemental and Biological Zanpakuto +2, Soi Fon Shunpo Technique]

Well, the reward for this task is relatively generous.

But the more Matsushita Yusuke looked at it, the stranger it seemed.

They're already this angry, so why is there still a reward that increases their favorability?

You...hmm~ something seems off.

Leaving aside this topic for now, after hastily finishing the cleaning, Soi Fon returned angrily to her room to rest.

She was really into it.

So much so that they decided to start 'preparing for battle' tonight.

Matsushita Yusuke wasn't in a hurry, after all, his gains were immediate, although it was only for two days... but with some targeted preparation, he could easily deal with this girl.

After finishing his work, Yusuke Matsushita took a short break and strolled around the Second Division.

This is considered his 'routine' behavior.

Because the Second Division is the stronghold of Shihouin, you can usually find a few small tasks that can improve your abilities by just wandering around here a couple of times.

Equivalent to a small dessert after a main meal, it's an essential part of the meal.

But unexpectedly...

Today, Yusuke Matsushita saw an unexpected figure here.

Just then, the other person came out of one of the cubicles, and as they brushed past each other, Matsushita Yusuke was stopped in his tracks.

"Wait a mininute."

The two stopped and looked at each other.

"Oh, this person should be..."

The figure standing in front of Matsushita Yusuke pondered for a moment, then spoke tentatively.

"The retainers that Yoruichi recruited a while ago?"

The other person's tone was low, with a warm smile on their face. Their eyes were slightly curved, revealing a hint of languor.

Matsushita Yusuke's mind wasn't on this earlier, so he couldn't see it clearly. Now that he looked closely, he couldn't help but show a rather surprised expression.

Isn't that Kisuke Urahara?!

"Captain Urahara, hello... I am Yusuke Matsushita!"

"Hehe, don't be so reserved, just be more casual."

Although I had already heard of this important figure before.

But this is the first time we've met.

Unlike Aizen Sousuke's style, this guy also had a smile on his face, but he didn't give people a sense of 'closeness'.

In fact, quite the opposite.

Urahara, on the contrary, gives people a kind of...

Feeling like giving up?

"To be honest, I originally wanted to talk to Miss Yoruichi about something, but since she's not there, never mind... Hahaha, shall we find a place to have a drink and chat?"

That’s right.

It's that casual feeling of "since things have come to this, let's order first".

Also.

Upon hearing Kisuke Urahara's invitation, Yusuke Matsushita instinctively wanted to refuse.

Because of his somewhat 'special' identity.

Considering the irreconcilable conflict between Aizen Sousuke and Urahara Kisuke, it's best not to get too close to him if conditions allow.

Even though he's a grim reaper, his stance is still very important!

Just then, familiar contents appeared before Matsushita Yusuke's eyes.

[A brief chat with Kisuke Urahara]

[Introduction: At this stage, Kisuke Urahara is undoubtedly the number one figure in Soul Society, both in terms of scientific research and knowledge. Having a proper exchange with him might offer you some valuable insights.]

[Reward: +3 Rule-based Zanpakuto]

But then again, there's an old saying in my hometown: "Those who understand the times are the heroes."

go!

Glancing at the slightly prankish content, Matsushita Yusuke was actually somewhat surprised at this moment.

Because the progress of the rule-based Zanpakuto is arguably the slowest in the entire event.

There has been very little progress on this aspect in the missions so far, which has made Yusuke Matsushita somewhat concerned.

Now it seems... it was simply because they hadn't identified the right target.

Is the rules system progressing slowly?

Let's work with this Urahara boss!

Just chatting every day can make you rise through the ranks.

Matsushita Yusuke was immediately tempted, and the two left the spot and found an izakaya (Japanese pub) near the Second Division.

"Um... I'll have a lemon cocktail, and any of the signature dishes will do."

Kisuke Urahara looked through the menu for a while, then casually handed it to Yusuke Matsushita.

"Matsushita-kun, take a look and order whatever you like... it's on me."

"You've gone to so much trouble."

"Hehe, it's okay. The salary is higher after becoming the captain, so I don't really need to use it."

Mr. Urahara, is this supposed to be Versailles?

After thinking for a while, Matsushita Yusuke finally ordered oolong tea (non-flammable version).

"I have classes at the Spiritual Arts Academy tonight, it wouldn't be proper for me to go home drunk..."

This reason is quite valid, and Kisuke Urahara nodded in understanding.

Okay, let's get right to the point.

"Matsushita-kun, I heard about your deeds when I was chatting with Yoruichi before."

Kisuke Urahara rested his left hand on his chin, leaning his upper body on the table, watching Yusuke Matsushita with great interest.

"He's just a student, yet he's mastered a dual incantation technique that only those at the vice-captain level or higher can learn. Furthermore... he can also perform certain types of demonic arts without incantation?"

Honestly.

"I'm very interested. Could you explain why?"

Get straight to the point.

This is quite in line with the behavior of Kisuke Urahara.

After all, now that they understand what the Spirit King is, what else in this world is worth hiding?

It's like I maxed out my spiritual vision too much; now nothing seems right to me...

Yusuke Matsushita then carefully explained.

"Double chanting... I only vaguely know that some incantations can be overlapped, so I just tried it out. I'm really not very skilled at it... I probably won't try it again next time."

As for the absence of chanting.

"To be honest, I can only simplify some basic demonic arts; I'm not good at anything slightly more complex."

Kisuke Urahara nodded repeatedly and hummed in agreement twice.

Then he said with a smile.

"It can be simplified, and the incantations can be modified. So, if that's the case... Matsushita-kun, if the conditions are right, could you create some Kido yourself?"

040: The Only Mission

"Uh... Captain Urahara, you're joking. How could I possibly do something like that?"

"No, you should be able to do it."

Kisuke Urahara turned around and thanked the shopkeeper for the drinks. He looked down at his glass, his tone as usual.

"Kido is a rather complex system. As a means for Shinigami to fight enemies, it is actually quite versatile...offense, defense, recovery...it combines multiple methods. It can be said that as long as Shinigami is proficient in Kido, their strength level will definitely not be too bad."

A one-sided statement.

Yet he used an attitude that was almost certain.

It was as if he had already affirmed the existence of something, and now he was simply dissecting it with ease.

Matsushita Yusuke couldn't help but look at him. In fact, he was not only somewhat wary of this man, but also somewhat admiring of him.

and this.

That's Kisuke Urahara's style.

It is the 'effortless ease' of choosing to return to daily life even after witnessing everything.

"The process of releasing the Ghost Path can be roughly divided into two stages. The first is to extract spiritual power and shape it in a fixed way. The second is to reinforce it a second time through incantations and activate it with a specific shape to achieve the purpose of use."

in short.

“Spiritual power is the wine, and incantations are the cup. Once the two are mutually fixed and satisfied, the purpose of allowing people to drink is achieved…”

goo...

Hoo-ha~

"Then, among so many people throughout history, why are there so few who have been able to create or modify the way of the ghosts?"

A slight red outline appeared on Kisuke Urahara's nose.

This phenomenon occurs when alcohol is absorbed into the body and blood flow increases.
