Chapter 112, Section 110: Kisaragi Shusuke Gets Caught by a Girl
Higashino Shuichi woke up to find himself on a soft, downy mattress, feeling comfortable and relaxed.

Seeing that he was no longer in that small, postmodern apartment, Higashino Shuichi knew he was back.

However, when he calmed down and tried to feel the power within his body, he found that the power of the void he had obtained this time was not as abundant as he had imagined.

He has just reached the point where he can freely switch between Shinigami and Hollow forms, but he is far from being able to directly release his Zanpakuto like Tosen Kaname later on.

Upon closer examination, this makes sense. After all, this time, in his inner world, Higashino Shuichi only faced the unique ability of the Hollow within him.

As for the other abilities that the virtual creature should possess, which are almost synchronized with his own, he has yet to experience any of them.

In other words, Higashino Shuichi has not completely conquered the Hollow within him; he has only so far gained some access to the Hollow's power.

But that's enough for Shuichi Higashino right now.

Because he doesn't have any system or other auxiliary tools to help him instantly master new abilities, the abilities of Hollows in his normal Hollowfication state, such as the technique Sora, which corresponds to the Shinigami Shunpo, and the regular output technique Cero, which corresponds to the Shinigami Kido, etc., all require Higashino Shuichi to spend time familiarizing himself with them, mastering them, and ultimately achieving the same ease of use as the Shinigami's Slash Fist and Oni Walk.

Therefore, it may not be a good thing to instill too many new abilities in him at once.

Furthermore, this battle with the Hollow within his body in the inner world ended in Higashino Shuichi's final victory. This means that Higashino Shuichi has found a way to counter the Hollow's abilities, and when he deals with the Hollow again in the future, it will no longer be a secret to him.

Complete conquest is only a matter of time.

In high spirits, Higashino Shuichi repeatedly reached out to touch his face, only to find that the mask that had been attached to his face had completely disappeared as he had begun to grasp the power of the Hollow.

"Shuichi-kun, you're awake?!"

Suddenly, a beautiful, nightingale-like voice came from the side, a voice that sounded so familiar.

While Higashino Shuichi was immersed in his inner world, the owner of the voice would gently sing beside him every night.

"Sayako?"

Higashino Shuichi called out the name very familiarly and affectionately.

Because he has been shouting this for the past few hundred days.

"En~"

The girl holding a warm towel at the door had crescent-shaped eyes and was filled with joy.

"How will you be here?"

Seeing Masayako Kabuto walking over, Shuichi Higashino asked in confusion.

"Because you promised me, Shuichi-kun, that you would help me unleash the power of hell."

Before, I was in poor health and couldn't move around, but now, thanks to you, Shuichi-kun, you've channeled your power into your body, and I'm much better than before.

So I was thinking that maybe I could come and offer some help.

As they talked, Masayako unconsciously lowered her head, her small hands nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, while she secretly glanced at Shuichi Higashino out of the corner of her eye.

"Shuichi-kun, you won't blame me, will you?"

"how come?"

Looking at Masayako Kabuto's adorable appearance, Shuichi Higashino shook his head with a smile.

He didn't ask Masayako Kabuto whether coming here like this would cause a huge reaction in Soul Society.

Because it's not important.

The Kabuto family is one of the five great noble families that never participated in the specific affairs of Soul Society and whose members have now dwindled to their current state.

The reason why the Kabuto family retains the five noble titles is probably just to maintain a facade of benevolence and hypocrisy.

Those people secretly wished that Kabuto Sayaka would leave Soul Society, or even openly betray Soul Society like Yoruichi Shihouin; that would probably be something they would like to see.

In this way, they can legitimately divide up the remaining power of the Kabuto family.

As for how Masayako Kabuto found this place, that goes without saying.

The world is the best guiding light.

After getting dressed and getting out of bed, Shuichi Higashino was about to go out when he saw Sayoko Kabuto bring him a doll that looked exactly like him.

Of course, to be more precise, it was a portable spirit body created by Kisuke Urahara.

"If Shuichi-kun is going out, he should wear this first."

Sayoko Kabuto, with her rosy cheeks, looked at Shuichi Higashino and said.

Just now, he had been subtly teased by Higashino Shuichi, a habit he had developed over the past few hundred days.

"This is?"

Higashino Shuichi remained as cautious as ever.

After all, this isn't my territory, and who knows if there are any ears around.

"This is a portable spirit body specially made by Kisuke for Shuichi. If you wear it, Shuichi, you can be seen by people in the human world, and your spiritual pressure will not be detected by the surveillance devices from Soul Society."

In this way, your activities in the real world will be much safer.

Asayako Kabuto explained to Shuichi Higashino.

"But I can also suppress my spiritual pressure and ensure that there is no leakage of spiritual pressure."

Higashino Shuichi accepted the spirit remains, but still seemed somewhat resistant.

"You'd better wear it, Xiuyi-kun. Didn't you used to come to the real world often?"
You should know that some people in the world can see us in our spiritual state.

Suddenly, a black cat jumped in through the window; without a doubt, it was Yoruichi Shihouin.

"Oh, and by the way, congratulations! You're the second Shinigami to completely control Hollowfication!"

Seeing that Higashino Shuichi had just woken up and the mask on his face had disappeared, Yoruichi Shihouin was somewhat surprised, but mostly delighted.

"Am I the second one?"

Although Higashino Shuichi didn't think that spending nearly a year to initially master the form switching between Shinigami and Hollows was something to brag about.

However, the word "second" did make him pay a little more attention.

After all, whether it's third, fourth, or even a larger number, it's not worth caring about.

Anyway, there are plenty of people ahead of him who are more capable than him.

But the second one is different.

This has nothing to do with rationality.

Rather, it stemmed from Higashino Shuichi's most primal competitive spirit as a man.

"The first one is the former vice-captain of the 9th Division, Ms. Kunan Shiro. Half a year ago, she was the first among you Shuichi-kun to awaken, and she mastered the power of Hollows in just three months. Now she can freely switch between the forms of Shinigami and Hollows."

This explanation comes from Kabuto Sayaka, who is standing next to Higashino Shuichi.

Clearly, Kabuto Sayaka has been here for some time. "White?"

When Higashino Shuichi heard this name, he wasn't surprised at all.

In the original work, Kunan Shiro seems to be the Shinigami who adapts to Hollow powers the fastest among all the Visoreds.

While other Shinigami still need to undergo targeted training to maintain their Hollowfication time, Kunan Shiro can already maintain Hollowfication time for up to fifteen hours at a time.

If it were her, it would be reasonable for her to master the ability to become ethereal so quickly.

To paraphrase Shuichi Higashino himself, without a hint of sourness,
That's someone's talent; others can't envy it.

Anyway, he wasn't sour at all.
After quickly putting on the spirit body, Higashino Shuichi was somewhat surprised by this ingenious black technology.

To be honest, it's a product made using the core technology that enabled Kiryu Hikifune to rise to the Zero Squad in one fell swoop. The texture is exceptionally smooth when worn. Apart from the fact that it's almost impossible to absorb spiritual particles from the outside to replenish the spiritual particles consumed in the body, Shuichi Higashino can't feel that he's wearing an outer garment at all.

Outside, there was a wide bluestone street, almost exactly the same as when Higashino Shuichi and Urahara Kisuke first arrived a year ago.

Behind the house is a river less than three meters wide, where you can often see a few fish leaping happily.

Below the house, one can see the former Great Demon Master, Tsukasa Rin, wearing only a t-shirt, unloading large goods from a carriage.

"What is Master Woling Ghost doing here?"

Seeing this, Higashino Shuichi, who was standing on the second-floor windowsill, asked in confusion.

"Work, after all, we have to live in the real world. If we occupy a house and never show up, it's easy to arouse suspicion."

Yoruichi Shihouin jumped onto Shuichi Higashino's shoulder and explained in a low voice.

"Speaking of which, the furniture in the room you're living in now, Mr. Shuichi, was all earned by Mr. Shusuke and Ms. Rangiku through part-time jobs."

Masayako Kabuto also spoke up from the side.

"It's mainly that kid Shusuke. As for Rangiku, she can't even last a few days before she spends all her salary on alcohol."

Unfortunately, Yoruichi Shihōin mercilessly exposed Matsumoto Rangiku's shortcomings.

As if on cue, the devil appeared; at the end of the road not far away, Kisaragi Shusuke and a girl appeared.

But Higashino looked closely and immediately recognized that the girl next to Kisaragi Shusuke was not Matsumoto Rangiku.

It's mainly her figure... oops, her looks.

Her petite figure, short gray hair, and flat chest were somewhat similar to Soi Fon's.

“Miss Rimi, I’ve already said it. I really just happened to be passing by and saw those ronin bullying you. I just stepped in to help them out. I absolutely did not have any intention of asking you to repay me with your body. You really don’t need to keep following me.”

Kisaragi Shusuke looked at the sweet-looking girl beside him and said with a headache.

"Yes, I understand, Xiuzhu-kun. But I just want to repay your kindness. Please let me do something for you—cook, do laundry, even warm your bed. I can do anything!"

At the end, the girl lowered her head shyly.

However, Kisaragi Shusuke didn't understand the meaning behind the girl's words at all. He was just feeling irritable because of the girl in front of him named Nagasawa Rimi. He had no intention of completing the tasks assigned by the business, and he might get his wages docked tomorrow.

However, when Kisaragi Shusuke turned his gaze toward his residence, his heart instantly became filled with excitement.

Because standing on the second-floor balcony right now is none other than Hidehiro, whom he has been longing to wake up soon!
He abandoned the girl beside him and ran home like a whirlwind, rushing up to the second floor.

"Lord Shuichi! You're awake!"

Kisaragi Shusuke could not contain his excitement.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work these past few days, Xiuzhu~"

Higashino nodded. He had just heard from Kabuto Sayaka about Kisaragi Shusuke's efforts during this time, and he naturally wanted to encourage Kisaragi Shusuke.

"It's no trouble at all, Master Xiu! It's so good to see you awake!"

Asuka embroidery was as happy as a child.

Although in Higashino's eyes, Kisaragi Shusuke was indeed a child.

"Um, who's that girl next to you?"

Higashino nodded, not continuing the atmosphere of the long-awaited reunion, but instead asking Kisaragi Shusuke a question.

Thanks to years of training in his inner world, Higashino Shuichi only needed to glance at her from afar to sense something was wrong from the fleeting displeasure in the girl's eyes when Kisaragi Shusuke abandoned her.

"Sir, are you asking about Nagasawa Satomi?"

Kisaragi Shusuke followed Higashino Shuichi's gaze and quickly told him everything that had happened earlier that day.

"So, to put it simply, you were on your way to collect payments for your trading company today, but you encountered Nagasawa Satomi being surrounded by several ronin samurai who wanted to do some shady things. Out of kindness, you stepped in to help her out and lent her your clothes, which were already somewhat disheveled, right?"

After listening, Higashino Hideichi simply repeated it.

"Yes, sir, is there a problem?"

Although Kisaragi Shusuke was somewhat straightforward, he wasn't completely ignorant of social etiquette. When he saw Higashino Shuichi repeat the events again, he vaguely guessed what had happened.

"It's not a problem. At least for now, everything is still quite reasonable. It's common for a woman to want to repay a hero's kindness with her body after being rescued by a hero."

Higashino Shuichi shook his head, which suddenly drew a chuckle from Kabuto Asayako beside him.

This prompted a puzzled Yoruichi Shihouin, who was listening intently on Shuichi Higashino's shoulder. "What's so funny about this, Sayako-san?"

Seeing that everyone's gaze had turned to her, Masayako's face, which had just returned to normal, immediately flushed red again.
"Ah~ that's because I remembered the stories that Shuichi-kun told me before. Most of the stories are like this: the female protagonist is in trouble, and then the male protagonist appears out of nowhere, defeats the bad guys in a few moves, and then the female protagonist falls in love with the male protagonist, and in the end, the two live happily ever after."

"Huh~ Shuichi-kun, I didn't expect you to have this kind of taste?"

After listening, Yoruichi Shihouin immediately gave Shuichi Higashino a meaningful smile.

As for how the black cat managed to make that expression, please use your imagination.

Anyway, Higashino Shuichi sensed something else from Yoruichi Shihōin's face.

"Ahem. How about we go downstairs first? I don't think this Ms. Nagasawa Rimi is planning to leave anytime soon. Even if she really wants to offer herself to me, we, as family members, should help Shusuke vet her, right?"

Higashino Shuichi immediately coughed awkwardly twice, then quickly used his linguistic skills to shift the blame.

As expected, Yoruichi Shihouin, who was already bored to death in the real world, took this matter very seriously.

In an instant, it jumped from Higashino Shuichi's shoulder onto Kisaragi Shusuke's fluffy, slightly curly head.

"Yes, yes, no time to lose, Xiuzhu Jun, let's go downstairs together and meet your fiancée!"

"Lord Shuichi, Lord Yoruichi, I truly have no other feelings for Ms. Rimi."

However, Kisaragi Shusuke seemed to be somewhat oblivious to the complicated situation and was still trying to prove his innocence.

"Alright, Xiuzhu, we didn't mean anything by it, but it's not good to let this girl keep bothering you like this, is it?"
After all, this place isn't really suitable for outsiders to enter right now.

Having said that, without allowing Ruyue Xiuzhu any further rebuttal, Higashino Shuichi took the lead and went downstairs.
