Help! I am bound to Aizen!

Chapter 123

Chapter 123

Rukongai, South 80th District.

This is the edge of the Soul Society.

The space here is fragile and distorted, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Because of the instability, Hollows often pass through the world's barriers and come here.

Almost no one comes to this place—a literal no-man's-land.

At this moment, two youths wearing Shihakush? stood quietly.

"Are you ready?"

Aizen, holding a machine, asked.

Kaelith nodded. "Don't worry, I'm fully prepared!"

He carried a large backpack filled with water and food.

Aizen didn't know how to comment on Kaelith's hoarding behavior.

He lifted the machine in his hand and pressed it lightly a few times.

An invisible wave of spiritual energy shot out from the device.

When the spiritual fluctuation touched the air wall at the edge of the Soul Society, it emitted ripples.

Before long, a pitch-black passage twisted open.

"Let's go!"

Aizen took the lead and rushed into the passage.

Kaelith followed closely.

Although darkness surrounded them, Aizen seemed to know exactly where to go.

Under his feet, a flat and wide path of Reishi continuously extended; Kaelith just needed to follow behind.

It was very reassuring.

As they ran, Aizen explained:

"This is a spatial layer similar to the Dangai. You must continuously lay down a path of Reishi yourself. Running on it ensures you're headed in the right direction."

"If you recklessly use Shunpo or similar techniques, you'll quickly lose your way and might never get out."

"When you come here alone in the future, be sure to remember this."

Kaelith nodded.

He didn't care much about Aizen's warning.

With Aizen Doraemon around, such minor issues would be solved sooner or later. Why worry himself? (t/n Doraemon is the blue cat thing from an anime (Aired for 26 years). Dont understand the reference though)

He didn't know how long they'd been running. Kaelith had nearly finished simulating new combat techniques in his mind when Aizen suddenly stopped.

He lifted the machine in his hand again.

A spatial gate slowly unfolded.

Seeing the scene beyond the gate, Kaelith couldn't help but exclaim.

"We've arrived."

As he spoke, Aizen lightly jumped to the other side of the gate.

Kaelith followed closely.

The moment he landed, the soft touch of sand came from under his feet.

In front of him was an endless silver desert.

A similarly silver crescent moon hung high in the sky, casting a cold light over this world.

Apart from that, there was nothing else as far as the eye could see.

Looking at the scene before him, Aizen felt a bit emotional.

"Although I've already read about it in books, seeing the real thing still leaves me in awe."

This was Hueco Mundo.

Unlike Kaelith, who had "toured" it many times in his mind, this was Aizen's first time seeing the true appearance of Hueco Mundo.

Seeing Kaelith's relatively calm demeanor, Aizen nodded almost imperceptibly.

This friend of his, though often unreliable in daily life, could always keep his composure at critical moments.

Under Aizen's gaze, Kaelith squatted down and grabbed a handful of sand from the ground.

Unlike the sand in the human world, the sand in Hueco Mundo was entirely composed of Reishi.

This sand was incredibly fine and smooth, almost never sticking to the body.

Even if it got into shoes or clothing, it would easily flow out with movement rather than cling.

After thinking for a few seconds, he took out a bag and filled it with some sand.

If this sand were made into stuffed toys or similar items, the texture would be fantastic.

When the time came, he could make them into gifts for others.

While Kaelith played with the sand, Aizen had already begun reconnaissance.

He used various detection Kid? one after another. Preemptive defensive Kid? was also set up on himself.

After finishing these preparations, he revealed a serious expression, slightly drew his Zanpakut?, and, after confirming everything was fine, nodded.

Packing up the sand, Kaelith stood up, satisfied.

"I'm ready. Which way should we go?"

"Wait a moment."

Aizen shook his head.

"Kaelith, before we begin, I need to tell you something."

Seeing Aizen looking as if he was about to reveal a shocking secret, Kaelith was taken aback.

What's going on... Is he going to tell me he's planning to overthrow the Soul Society starting now?

Aizen placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

He didn't hesitate much, seemingly having made up his mind long ago—

"Kaelith, before we set off, I want to tell you the true ability of my Shikai."

"?!"

Seeing Aizen's hand on the hilt, Kaelith hurriedly waved his hands.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Under Aizen's somewhat puzzled gaze, he quickly said, "I think things haven't reached an irreversible point!"

"Let me think, what have I done recently to upset you..."

"Ah, is it because I secretly ate the almond tofu you bought last time?"

"That time, there were extenuating circumstances... I hadn't eaten beforehand, my blood sugar was a bit low, so I couldn't resist when I saw the dessert."

Aizen: "..."

He remembered that the almond tofu he had left in the dormitory, which he planned to enjoy slowly while researching, mysteriously disappeared when he was about to eat it.

At the time, he thought he had absentmindedly eaten it while writing.

So it was this bastard?

Seeing Aizen silent, Kaelith broke out in a cold sweat.

Was the almond tofu not the issue?

Then...

A few seconds later, his eyes lit up.

"I know! Is it because last time during the swordsmanship competition, I secretly sawed your bamboo sword a bit, causing you to lose to me during the duel, so you're angry?"

Aizen: "?"

He had always thought that the bamboo sword breaking at that time was due to poor maintenance by the equipment manager.

Turns out, after all this, it was secretly sawed by this lunatic Kaelith?

He took a deep breath, feeling his fists clench.

As he struggled to maintain his composure, Kaelith suddenly seemed to think of something.

"I got it!"

Aizen was startled by his exclamation.

Under his bewildered gaze, Kaelith extended his right fist and struck his left palm.

"Is it because, among the batch of Rukongai experimental subjects you captured last time, I released a little girl, so you're angry?"

Aizen: "???"

He previously thought there was a data error when he was capturing people.

Turns out it was this guy who let her go?!

This time, he really couldn't help wanting to hit someone.

Seeing Aizen's face darken, Kaelith quickly said, "That little girl fainted as soon as she came into contact with your Reiatsu; she didn't even see what you looked like... And she's just an outer district resident of Rukongai, with no contact with Shinigami!"

Aizen raised his hand to his forehead.

He felt that sooner or later he'd suffer greatly because of this troublemaker.

"Enough, we'll talk about this nonsense later."

He lowered his hand, stopping Kaelith from continuing to confess.

"From now on, we might face fierce battles at any time. To avoid coordination problems, I will now tell you my Zanpakut?'s ability."

"Listen carefully, my Zanpakut? is called... Ky?ka Suigetsu!"
