Chapter 11 The person in memory

Watanabe Yuji didn't expect Xia Mu to ask him about himself. After a pause, he answered, "I don't want to worry too much."

He didn't say anything extra.

But Xia Mu could understand.

When you find a woman to marry, it's like having a home and something to care about.

For ordinary people, this is certainly a good thing.

But not Death.

The God of Death needs to fight against the Hollows all the time. The 11th Division is a combat division, and the dangers it faces are higher than those of other divisions. After having a family, although you have company, if you die, it will make your family feel sad.

Instead of harming others in this way, it is better to be alone from the beginning.

After figuring everything out, Xia Mu didn't ask Watanabe Yuji too much about this issue.

Over there, the cocktail party is still going on.

It was clearly a cocktail party held by Kenpachi Kuriyashiki to welcome the return of Yuji Watanabe, but Yuji Watanabe, the person involved, ran to stay next to Erdong Natsuki and did not go over there to reminisce with his old friends.

After a while, a somewhat complaining voice was heard.

"Kuriyashiki, you secretly held a drinking party without informing me."

"If I hadn't smelled the aroma of wine coming from a distance, I would have missed it."

Hearing the sound, some members of the 11th Squad turned their heads to look, while others looked as if they were used to it and continued drinking with their companions.

Xia Mu also looked at the visitor with some surprise.

The visitor had long, slightly curly hair, which he pinned up with a hairpin at the back of his head. A few strands of hair hung down in front of his temples, making him look a little unrestrained and uninhibited. However, this was not the most eye-catching thing. What attracted people the most attention was the pink coat embroidered with floral patterns that he was wearing. Originally, there was nothing wrong with the pink color, but the pattern on it was too tacky. It was impossible not to attract people's attention with such a rustic outfit.

In addition to this, under his coat, there is a white shirt.

Only those at the top of the Gotei 13 can wear this kind of clothes.

That was the haori that belonged to the captain of the Gotei 13.

"It's Captain Shunsui Kyoraku of the Eighth Division." Watanabe Yuji was worried that Natsuki had just joined the 11th Division and didn't know much about the Gotei 13, so he quietly introduced him, "Captain Kyoraku is one of the veteran captains. When I was still in Soul Society, he often came to the 11th Division to drink. He is a veteran alcoholic. I didn't expect that after all these years, his personality is still the same as before."

Yuji Watanabe has been in Hueco Mundo for decades.

Although it hasn't been long since I came back, I have a rough understanding of the current situation of the Gotei 13. Many teams have seen changes in captains. Although it is unpleasant, it is also a very common thing.

Among the Gotei 13, there are really not many who have served as captain for more than a hundred years.

However, Captain Kyōraku seemed to be one of the very powerful ones, and nothing happened to them.

Seeing the long-lost scene, Watanabe Yuji was slightly distracted.

Xia Mu sat aside, still without saying much.

In fact, he recognized Kyoraku Shunsui without Watanabe Yuji's introduction.

This is also a character that he has rarely seen in "anime". After recalling this world and trying to understand it, he knew that the timeline he was in after traveling through time seemed to be a long way away from the timeline of the original protagonist, Kurosaki Ichigo.

Popular characters such as Aizen, Urahara Kisuke, and Shihouin Yoruichi have never appeared.

This time when he came to Soul Society, not only did Watanabe Yuji try to understand the current situation of the Gotei 13, he also tried to find out a thing or two.

Except for the captain-general, Unohana Retsu, Kyoraku Shunsui, and Ukitake Jushiro, most of the captains have never heard of it.

Even Natsuki didn't expect to see the Kyoraku Shunsui in his memory so soon.

When the characters in the plot actually appeared in front of him, a feeling of illusion and reality immediately surged into Xia Mu's heart.

Finally, Xia Mu calmed down again.

“Isn’t it clear already? Although this is a fictional world created by a cartoonist, I am already in it. Now, this is a real world with flesh and blood.”

Xia Mu whispered to himself in his heart.

……

No matter how lively an event is, it will eventually come to an end.

As the night gradually deepened, the cocktail party of the 11th Division came to an end.

After that, the 11th Division did not hold any more cocktail parties.

As a new member of the team, Natsuki has a relationship with Yuji Watanabe, the chief officer who left the 11th Division for decades and went on an expedition to Hueco Mundo and has now returned. Many chief officers immediately took the initiative to greet Natsuki and take care of this "junior" who was picked up by Yuji Watanabe from Hueco Mundo. The matter about Natsuki is not a secret, and many Shinigami in the 11th Division know about it.

There are many examples of civilians in Rukongai becoming Shinigami by picking up the Zanpakutō of dead Shinigami in battle. For example, among the 11th Division, there are actually several Shinigami who became Shinigami by such coincidence.

The difference is that after picking up their Zanpakuto, they also applied for the Shinō Spiritual Academy with their Zanpakuto, and naturally passed the entrance exam easily. After admission, the biggest difference was that the academy no longer assigned them Asado.

The most special thing about Natsuki is that he picked up his Zanpakutō in Hueco Mundo.

A soul that accidentally fell into the Hueco Mundo was about to become a Hollow, but in the end, after picking up a Zanpakutō, he became a god of death and embarked on the right path.

Once this kind of example of someone returning to the right path spreads, it's hard not to attract attention.

Xia Mu also felt the enthusiasm from the members of the 11th Division. They were indeed a group of people who were easy to get along with. At first, he was a little uncomfortable, but as time passed, he gradually integrated into the 11th Division.

During this process, he also participated in several battles.

Of course, the frequency and danger level of battles are not high.

This is Soul Society after all. Even though the news that Asido brought to Hueco Mundo previously stated that a large Hollow of the "Vastold" level had appeared in Soul Society, that kind of Hollow is rare even in Hueco Mundo, and the probability of it appearing in Soul Society is even lower.

During this period of time, Xia Mu fought mostly Hollows who accidentally crossed the boundary and entered the Soul Society.

Soul Society is a world of souls, where countless souls live. Hollows have a devouring instinct, eager to devour their own kind to fill the emptiness in their hearts and gain evolution. Apart from the Hueco Mundo, which is already in a state of cannibalism, Soul Society is also a world that attracts Hollows very much.

Xia Mu's strength is not weak. He can easily kill the Hollow that crossed over. Naturally, such strength also attracted the admiration of many Death Gods of the 11th Squadron, and they got to know Xia Mu better.
