But if they met frequently, he was genuinely afraid that Matsumoto Rangiku would choose to join the Fifth Division after graduation.
"Captain Aizen's suggestion might be implemented ahead of schedule."
"It's time to become the team leader, but perhaps I should discuss this with that Mr. Higashi beforehand."
He murmured to himself, but there was no hesitation in Gin Ichimaru's eyes.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
dong dong dong.
Startled awake, Gin Ichimaru cursed under his breath for his carelessness, then spoke with a mocking laugh.
"Who is it? Just come in."
"It's me, Gin."
""
Creak.
Seeing the girl push open the door and walk in, Gin Ichimaru was silent for a moment before regaining his warm smile: "Rangiku, what brings you here today?"
"Yin, are you hiding something from me? At first, I didn't notice anything, but lately, I've been thinking about it at night and I feel like you're sometimes absent-minded, and even seem to be avoiding seeing me. What's going on?"
Unlike usual, Matsumoto Rangiku showed no joy or happiness at this moment. Instead, she stood in front of her desk, her hands resting on the table, staring at Ichimaru Gin with a worried look in her eyes.
"Oh no, Rangiku, you're the one talking."
Gintoki Ichimaru was about to crack a joke when he saw Rangiku Matsumoto's serious and resolute expression.
Oh no! I've been too stressed these past few years, and now that I'm in front of Rangiku, I feel a little awkward relaxing.
Chapter 133 I'm the one who became the adults' tool! 9/10
"Lord Aizen, what is this?"
Lori, who had brought Minori back, stared blankly at the people beside Aizen, momentarily bewildered.
How come so many people have appeared after only being gone for a short while?
Besides, it seems unlikely that a few Adjuchas could become Aizen-sama's companions.
If Aizen knew what she was thinking, he'd probably be speechless. What does "merely" even mean?
You yourself haven't even reached Adjuchas's level, have you?
However, if Lori were to be able to resurrect her Zanpakuto after transforming into a Shinigami, it probably wouldn't be too difficult for her to contend with or even kill an ordinary Adjuchas.
Lori wasn't the only one surprised; Nnoitra and the others also looked at Lori and Menori with great astonishment.
These two girls are illusions; they can sense that.
But they were so human-like! Even more human-like than Vastod! And they could sense that the spiritual pressure emanating from these two women was almost "0.67" times greater than their own.
It was far superior to the average Kylian.
"This must be Vastod's Breakthrough Five, Face Transformation."
The well-informed Luther Ben muttered something to himself, his eyes lighting up.
He roughly guessed how Aizen would make them stronger.
"Break five, transform into a mask!" Upon hearing his words, Neutra and the others were no fools. They all connected the dots and their hearts immediately burned with excitement.
"If I could break through to the fifth level and achieve face transformation, would I be stronger than that woman?"
Neutra stared at Kiyohime with a mixture of apprehension and ambition.
Although he really wanted to fight her to prove that women couldn't be superior to him, no matter how stubborn he was, he knew to some extent that he would probably be no match for her in a one-on-one fight.
"Hmm, is this Lord Aizen's maid?"
Kiyohime, who was sitting next to Aizen with her eyes half-closed and grinning foolishly, suddenly came to her senses and sharply scrutinized Lori and Minori. The sensitive and timid Minori quietly hid behind Lori, but in her heart, she had roughly figured out the situation based on the environment and the actual situation.
This must be the new companion; the other Adjuchas must have been recently captured.
Of the two, Minori was easily overlooked by Kiyohime at first glance.
Too neutral, gentle and timid, completely lacking the ability to compete with him.
Having reached this conclusion, Kiyohime immediately focused all her attention on Lori, analyzing her with a dangerous glint in her eyes.
She has a cute appearance, a spoiled personality, and doesn't hide her emotions.
Hmph, she's obviously not the kind of young girl who would make a good wife, but sometimes these kinds of girls can be quite attractive to men.
Being stared at like that would make even the most oblivious person feel uneasy, let alone Lori, who had focused all her attention on Aizen the moment she returned.
Seeing the somewhat provocative look in her eyes, Lori suddenly felt a sense of crisis and immediately questioned without any hesitation: "Hey, you woman, what are you looking at? Why are you so close to Lord Aizen?"
Aizen's brow twitched.
Lori's feelings for him were obvious to everyone.
Although he wasn't the kind of weirdo who had absolutely no interest in women, he had disliked Hollow for so many years. Even though the memory of his past life had been restored after the Hogyoku awakened, he still felt a little unnaturally resistant to his relationship with Hollow.
This is also why Lori has been trying to seduce him all these years without success.
However, such a blatant attitude still made him feel a little strange.
He was both wondering if he had been too lenient with Lori all these years, and also feeling that he didn't seem to be very lonely.
At least Lori, with her twin tails, seems to understand herself a little, even if that understanding is still just a tiny bit superficial. But she might be the person in the world least likely to betray her right now.
Unlike Hinamori Momo, who has ties to Soul Society, Lori, this tsundere with twin tails, has completely dedicated her loyalty to him. It can be said that no matter what choice he makes, this girl will probably follow him to the bitter end.
Although he felt that if he asked Hinamori Momo to take him away a hundred years from now, the girl wouldn't refuse to continue following him, Hinamori Momo would definitely hesitate, question, and offer advice.
However, what truly surprised Aizen was Kiyohime's unwavering disdain.
"Oh dear, how dare a maid meddle in her master's affairs? What an unfit maid."
Besides, I'm not someone you can question, since I was allowed by Lord Aizen to be his tool!
In the end, Kiyohime's words were full of provocative emphasis and seductive undertones.
"工, tools"
Lori stared at Kiyohime in disbelief, as if she had thought of something terrible.
Suddenly, Lori looked as if she had been struck by lightning, and she staggered without any energy.
A few seconds later, Lori, who had regained her senses after being shaken by Minori, glared at Kiyohime with hostility, gritting her teeth and saying resentfully, "Just you wait, the one who will become Lord Aizen's tool, the one who will become Lord Aizen's tool, will definitely be me!!!"
As she spoke, Lori blushed and began to stutter, eventually breaking into a stutter and, mustering her courage, closed her eyes and shouted. Aizen's face darkened.
This Kiyohime is toxic! There's no need to be so ambiguous about making her my subordinate.
Moreover, it's a "tool"
Why would you associate this with such unhealthy things? Lori, who comes from a feudal society, what do you usually watch?
Everyone else, except Neutra, watched the spectacle quietly, thoroughly enjoying the show.
However, when it comes to gossiping about their superiors, they all know they shouldn't chime in.
Otherwise, hehe.
However, there are always foolish and fearless warriors.
"That little girl should have some respect for the strong."
That woman named Kiyohime may not be my match, but she's not someone a mere Kyrian like you can provoke.
Moreover, I should be the one to become Lord Aizen's strongest tool!
The utterly tactless Nnoitra arrogantly warned Lori, stubbornly insisting that she was stronger than Kiyohime.
However, no one seemed to care about that.
Because at that moment, everyone was "stunned".
His gaze fell upon Neutra.
Even Aizen himself has a kind of husky-like messed-up quality.
"You, you, you...!"
Lori immediately felt disgusted.
He flashed to Aizen's side, grabbed Aizen's arm, and dodged the...
From their line of sight.
Kiyohime flew into a rage and breathed fire from her mouth.
It's bad enough that a young guy came along and tried to steal his man, but now there's another man—no, a male creature—trying to steal his man too.
1.6 "You pervert, you'll never succeed! And if you dare to even entertain such a thought again, I'll burn you alive sooner or later!"
"Hmph, you think I'm afraid of you?"
Neutra, completely oblivious, arrogantly retorted.
At this moment, Luther and the other three Hollows looked at Nnoitra with nothing but pity, because they saw that Aizen's smile was about to crumble.
If this guy doesn't die now, it's inevitable that he'll suffer in the future.
Although they and Aizen knew that Nnoitra had low emotional intelligence and misunderstood what she was saying, it only added fuel to the fire when Kiyohime and Lori also misunderstood her words.
Suppressing the urge to silence him, Aizen immediately stood up and asked coldly.
"Enough with the nonsense, how much of the information I needed have you two gathered?"
Chapter 134 I Want to Be the Captain 10/10, Bonus Chapter for Average Subscriptions
Through Lori and Menori's accounts, Aizen also obtained the information he wanted.
First, there was one person among those five who was completely out of the loop: Koyatai Stark.
Aizen wasn't too surprised by this.
After all, before Stark split his soul, his spiritual pressure was closest to that of a Vasto Lorde from a higher dimension. Not to mention ordinary Hollows, even Adjuchas would be instantly crushed if they got close to him.
This is the reason why Stark was so lonely and isolated that he needed to split himself to seek comfort.
Before the Starks split, their strength was roughly at the level of
However, the threshold that spiritual pressure should reach is the threshold of the Shinigami's limit.
The other Vastods weren't fools either. This guy's spiritual pressure was a level higher than theirs, so even if they sensed Stark's presence, the other Vastods wouldn't approach him.
Even Barragan, who was so arrogant as to call himself the Lord of Hueco Mundo, didn't dare to cause trouble.
Even with his split soul reaching pseudo-breakthrough level 5, his spiritual pressure decreased, and Stark still managed to easily overpower Barragan, who could only gain an advantage verbally by taking advantage of Stark's good temper.
The only targets that Lori and her companion could defeat and gather intelligence on were within the scope of Killian. The only way they could obtain information about Stark was by Vasto Lorde, who shares the same name as Iron Man, and who had already split into two.
However, the intelligence gathered from the remaining four 44s also yielded some discrepancies.
For example, Halibel, according to the investigation, was invited to be subdued by Barragan's 02, but he defeated Barragan's subordinates and refused.
After that, his whereabouts became unknown.
Szayelaporro was also invited by Barragan. As a researcher who was not exactly low-key, this guy... had a stronger spiritual pressure than Barragan.
He actually accepted the invitation to become Barragán's subordinate.
However, the location of the target can be confirmed; it is within Hueco Mundo.
Neliel's whereabouts were relatively easy to find. Although she disliked fighting and didn't have a fixed place to stay, she never hid her tracks.
Furthermore, since the Hollows he defeated were never killed, over time, as his fame grew, no more ignorant fools would deliberately seek death.
As for why Barragan didn't cause trouble for Nelieel, it's probably because her attitude wasn't as aloof and forceful as Halibel's, which made Barragan lose face. And Barragan probably didn't want to offend one Vastod and then offend another.
Finally, there's Ulquiorra. We can't find the humanoid version of Ulquiorra, but we did find a trace of the pure white humanoid version of Adjuchas, whose only sense is sight, a few months ago.
Ulquiorra, who only possesses sight, was an outcast during the Adjuchas era, and with a mind as pure as paper, he had no idea how to hide.
Based on the intelligence analysis, Aizen had a general idea of how difficult the search would be.
Sálápól, Nellie, Elúlchól, Lahlibel.
Halibel is not easy to find, probably because he is avoiding Barragan's spies to prevent revenge. However, Aizen always feels inexplicably amused by the fact that Szayelaporro has been subdued by Barragan.
He felt that Szayelaporro simply wanted to use that fool Barragan, and that Szayelaporro, at this time, was too powerful and often needed to conduct experiments on live subjects, so he would limit his strength in every battle.
