"Ugh!!"
For a moment, Kaelith wondered if he had been thrown into the deep sea.
The air was thick with a sticky, dense spiritual pressure pressing in from all directions like heavy water.
Since synchronizing with Aizen's spiritual pressure, this was the first time he felt suppressed in terms of spiritual energy!
Damn it, you think you're the only one with spiritual pressure?
Kaelith gritted his teeth audibly.
The spiritual pressure within his body rapidly condensed.
In the next second, he was about to unleash this energy to break through the opponent's suppression!
Sensing the change in Kaelith, the kimono couldn't help but be a bit startled.
This self-destructive fighting method isn't something an ordinary person could think of in an instant.
This young man's combat instincts are terrifying.
What on earth has happened in the Soul Society over the past century?
There's someone so young who has mastered such power.
And with such strength, he's just an ordinary Soul Reaper?
She was so astonished that she forgot to retract her spiritual pressure.
Just as Kaelith was about to explode, a figure suddenly intervened, appearing before him.
Long pink-purple hair and a devilish figure.
On her white haori was a large "12."
Seeing the ornate kimono releasing spiritual pressure, she showed a somewhat angry expression.
Under Kaelith's gaze, Kirio Hikifune gave a low shout.
She raised her hand high and pressed down.
A massive amount of dense soul energy burst from her, forming a huge net that wrapped around the spiritual pressure emitted by the "kimono."
In an instant, the pressure enveloping Kaelith vanished without a trace.
Looking at the kimono before her, Kirio Hikifune said angrily:
"Captain Senjumaru, what are you doing to my teacher!"
"I-I apologize, I just... Huh?"
The kimono was about to explain but suddenly stopped in surprise.
She exclaimed, "What... what did you just call him?"
Kirio Hikifune smiled. "Of course, I called him 'teacher.'"
"Kaelith has given me countless guidance on my journey of exploring life—the greatest teacher in the entire Soul Society!"
Kimono: "?????"
Even without a head, her completely rigid posture made it clear how shocked she was.
This young Soul Reaper is Kirio Hikifune's teacher?
You must know, Kirio Hikifune is already a designated candidate for the Royal Guard.
She will be promoted within a hundred years.
Although she's currently just a regular captain, there aren't many in the entire Seireitei qualified to stand above her.
For someone of her status to willingly call such a young man 'teacher'?
Kaelith was also a bit stunned at this moment.
Senjumaru... Captain?
Is there a captain with that surname in the Gotei 13?
"Senjumaru"—the term seemed vaguely familiar.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered.
The "Senjumaru Level"—numbers used to indicate the level of danger or disaster during sudden public incidents.
Could this Captain Senjumaru be related to that term?
---
A short while later, the three sat down in the study.
Kirio Hikifune let out a long sigh, completely unbothered by appearances.
Just now, several squads from the Stealth Force had rushed over to inquire about what had happened.
The quality of spiritual pressure released by Senjumaru was too terrifying.
Although Kirio had suppressed it in time, the portion that had already spread caused a huge reaction throughout Seireitei.
If not for her special status and sufficient backing, the Twelfth Division would likely have to undergo an investigation.
Looking at the obedient kimono kneeling there, she said irritably:
"Captain, there's a limit to causing trouble for others!"
"Do you think you can just release your spiritual pressure in Seireitei whenever you like?"
"It's poor little Kirio who has to write reports to explain!"
"Uh... I'm sorry."
The kimono knelt there, adopting a posture of apology.
However, even while apologizing, her "gaze" remained fixed on Kaelith.
"Hey, young man, what's your name?"
She asked curiously as Kaelith silently sipped his tea.
"Fukuda Ei," Kaelith answered flatly.(t/n Basically Johnny sins of Japan, a meme, this isn't the correct name but I won't provide the correct one....)
"Fukuda, is it? I'll remember that," the kimono nodded gently.
Kirio Hikifune opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Kaelith asked first:
"Captain Hikifune just called you Captain Senjumaru... what's your relation to the 'Senjumaru Level'?"
Hearing this, the kimono chuckled softly.
"I am none other than the creator of the 'Senjumaru Level.'"
So that's it...
Kaelith took a sip of tea.
It seems today he has met a true big shot.
Kirio Hikifune smiled and said, "Teacher, let me introduce you. This is Senjumaru Shutara—or rather, a 'Heavenly Garment' she's controlling."
"In the past, she was the captain of our Twelfth Division. Later, she became a Royal Special Task Force member after inventing the 'Shihakush?.'"
Hearing Kirio's introduction, Senjumaru subtly puffed out her chest, preparing to receive Kaelith's shocked and admiring gaze.
However, Kaelith frowned.
Under her gaze, Kaelith looked at her.
"Inventing the Shihakush?... what's so impressive about that achievement?"
"I've seen images in the academy's records of Soul Reapers from 800 years ago; they were also wearing Shihakush?."
"Moreover, I've studied the Shihakush? I received."
"Apart from the functions any normal clothing should have, I haven't found anything special—it doesn't increase defense, nor does it purify air or resist corrosion."
"Isn't this achievement a bit exaggerated?"
Hearing Kaelith's words, Senjumaru's breathing became slightly rapid.
"You... insolent fellow!"
"My invention of the Shihakush? is not as simple as you think!"
Although her voice carried displeasure, her sitting posture remained elegant and proper, completely opposite to the carefree Kirio.
Under Kaelith's gaze, she quickly said, "Creating the Shihakush? wasn't just about producing finished clothing!"
"Before me, if a Shihakush? was damaged in battle, it could only be mended or replaced."
"But I used my abilities to grant all Shihakush? self-repair functions!"
"If damaged in battle, they can restore themselves by absorbing spiritual pressure afterward!"
"Not only that, I successfully bound the concept of 'Shihakush?' with 'Soul Reaper.'"
"Even an ordinary soul, once they awaken the power of a Soul Reaper, can obtain a 'Shihakush?' at the moment of awakening."
"Even if this process happens in Hueco Mundo or the World of the Living, it can still be realized!"
She spoke eloquently, listing her great achievements one by one.
After finishing, she looked at Kaelith proudly, waiting for his evaluation.
Kaelith frowned slightly, stroking his chin, and pondered for a long time.
Then he nodded and said:
"I see."
"In summary, it's completely useless."
"...I shall kill you!!"
