Help! I am bound to Aizen!

Chapter 155

Chapter 155

"Make it short, just give me the summary."

Seeing Yoruichi about to go on for two chapters, Kaelith raised his hand to stop her.

Yoruichi rolled her eyes.

"Garaku Kair? was the Zanpakut? of a former Eleventh Division Captain, Kuruushiki Kenpachi. Its Shikai ability was ordinary, just summoning a bunch of monsters to fight. But… its Bankai was unprecedentedly terrifying.

"The Bankai of Garaku Kair? summons a colossal mouth spanning dozens of miles, devouring everything in its range—living or not. If that was unleashed, the entire Seireitei, and even several of the most prosperous districts in Rukongai nearby, would vanish completely, becoming part of Soul Society’s history! The only drawback is that after using this ability, the Zanpakut? can’t be released again for half a year, not even in Shikai form"

Hearing this, Kaelith’s eyes widened.

Such a sinister ability existed? A mouth spanning dozens of kilometers… Good grief, what kind of eldritch being was that?

Compared to that, the Zanpakut? of Soul Society’s captains were nothing but scraps of copper!

What were the Tsunayashiro family thinking? If they had something like that, why not bring it out sooner and become invincible, instead of all this political scheming?

For a moment, Kaelith was at a loss.

Noticing his expression, Yoruichi chuckled.

"What’s wrong, oh invincible Lord Kaelith, are you scared?"

Kaelith snorted. "Who wouldn’t be nervous facing such a perverse ability?"

Yoruichi laughed. "True. If it were the genuine Garaku Kair?, that would indeed be a terrifying weapon against thousands. But the Garaku Kair? Senzo Tsunayashiro used was mimicked by Enra Ky?ten.

"Others don’t know about Enra Ky?ten, but I, as the head of the Shih?in family, have long heard its name. Though it can mimic any Zanpakut? it has seen, it does so at the cost of the user’s life. Senzo Tsunayashiro is powerful and long-lived, so if he only mimics ordinary Zanpakut?, he could fight for seven days and nights without dying. But… Garaku Kair? is different.

"If he dared to use Garaku Kair?’s Bankai, he’d be instantly drained to a husk, perishing together with Seireitei!"

Kaelith nodded in sudden understanding.

No wonder Senzo Tsunayashiro never used this sword to show off before. Turns out it drained life.

For a moment, Kaelith felt as though he’d gained new insight into life, the world, and the balance of effort and reward. His understanding ascended to a new level.

He was truly qualified as a sage.

He sighed and said, "Soifon, move a bit to the right."

"…Understood."

While enjoying Soifon’s gentle foot massage, he looked at Yoruichi.

"So what happened in the end? Since I’m still lying here, it means Senzo Tsunayashiro didn’t use that Bankai, right?"

"Mm." Yoruichi nodded. "That old man demanded to leave Soul Society with the family members loyal to him, or he’d bring Seireitei down with him. The captains on site couldn’t decide, so they asked the Captain-Commander.

"In the end, Genry?sai-dono agreed to Senzo Tsunayashiro’s demand. He took a group of people and left Soul Society for Hueco Mundo…"

Hearing this, Kaelith’s eyes lit up.

Hueco Mundo?

A fine place and a fine choice!

If Senzo Tsunayashiro had stayed in Soul Society and somehow preserved his noble status, Kaelith wouldn’t harbor many thoughts. But now, that old codger had gone to Hueco Mundo…

Though Hueco Mundo currently belonged to Baraggan, it would eventually belong to Aizen! Enra Ky?ten would one day find its way into Kaelith’s own pocket. Sure, the side effects were scary, but he was young—what’s a little life force compared to happiness in ending his enemies easily?

Ending his daydream, Kaelith glanced toward his Zanpakut?.

He was a transmigrator, yet his Zanpakut?’s abilities were so ordinary. If his sword had Enra Ky?ten’s power without drawbacks, wouldn’t that be great?

…Hmm?

He turned his head, scanning the room.

Then he asked with confusion, "Soifon, where’s my sword?"

Soifon, busy focusing on her footwork, paused at his question. She looked at Yoruichi.

Yoruichi shrugged. "No idea. Since we returned to Soul Society, I haven’t seen any sword on you."

Kaelith: "?"

He closed his eyes, straining his memory.

After a moment, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Opening his eyes, he looked at Yoruichi awkwardly.

"…Yoruichi, I think I left my sword in Hueco Mundo."

Yoruichi: "…"

Soifon: "?"

If Soul Society had a ranking for outrageous acts, Yoruichi felt that Kaelith’s move would be at the top.

(t/n: Bwhahaha)

…………

……

With Senzo Tsunayashiro’s exile, the rebel turmoil completely ended.

Because the head and main branch members were banished, the remaining Tsunayashiro family members unexpectedly retained their noble status. Now only a bunch of weak, timid nobodies remained, content to muddle through life.

Even if there were some who weren’t weak, in the current situation, they had no chance to rise again.

Originally, Kaelith thought that after the Kuchiki family’s victory, they would seize the opportunity to expand their influence and attract more vassals.

Unexpectedly, the opposite occurred.

As the dust settled, Kuchiki Ginrei refused many small families seeking vassalage. He barely even lifted a finger to carve up the Tsunayashiro family’s fallen resources. The Kuchiki family, true to its name, sank into tranquility once more.

Many ambitious nobles were dissatisfied with the Kuchiki family’s behavior, but Kuchiki Ginrei paid no heed.

Meanwhile, the Shih?in family expanded its influence somewhat.

Before the rebel war, the Shih?in family was less than one-third the size of the Kuchiki. Now, they’d surpassed half.

As a beneficiary, Yoruichi felt troubled. She disliked the messy business of power struggles and political maneuvering.

What made her more uncomfortable was that many of the nobles rushing to pledge allegiance were doing so for Kaelith. His performance during the incident had shocked them. As a disciple of the Captain-Commander, he was strong, daring, and decisive. If he and Yoruichi were to form a pair, the Shih?in family would rapidly become a titan rivaling the Kuchiki.

With early investment promising better returns, the minor nobles scrambled to board the Shih?in ship.

Yoruichi lounged lazily in her chair.

What was going on in Kaelith’s mind?

With his personality, joining the Shih?in family through marriage was probably impossible.

So… should she marry him instead?

The moment the thought popped up, Yoruichi shuddered.

No, no, too weird!

Just imagining herself marrying at all made her want to laugh…
