Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 236, Section 234: All the main characters make their appearance!
Tokyo Road, Uesugi Street, Genta's small shop.

It's the height of summer now, and the shop owned by Genta's family is always packed with kids because the owner used to be a craftsman who makes all sorts of uniquely shaped sweet ice creams.

"what is this?"

Today, a large group of children gathered outside the convenience store, and one of the unfamiliar children pointed to an ice cream and asked a question.

"This one?"

This is the terrifying Yamata no Orochi!

As the shop owner explained the product to the boy, he raised his hands and made a grabbing motion, trying to amuse the seemingly serious little boy.

However, the shop owner clearly failed, because the little boy was a bit special; he seemed genuinely frightened by the shop owner's words and actions.

"The Yamata no Orochi. Does it bite?"

The boy initially took a half-step back instinctively, but he quickly realized what was happening and immediately returned to his original position. He even took a deep breath, as if to give himself courage, and then took a small step forward.

"Huh? Of course not, this is for eating!"

The shop owner's first thought was whether the boy was mentally challenged, but looking at the boy's clean and tidy appearance, he felt that it was unlikely.

"Eat? You mean, can this Yamata no Orochi be eaten?"

The boy said in surprise, then he felt it was normal, because weren't the other kids around buying them and eating them?

But are these strangely shaped monsters really that delicious?
"Otherwise, child, if you want to buy it to eat, then please just buy it!"

The shop owner was certain that the child was playing a trick on him, but he had a good temper and knew that his main customers were children, so he couldn't lose his temper on the spot.

"Then give me one of each, hmm, let's start with an Yamata no Orochi!"

The boy wanted to buy all the different-shaped ones he saw so he could take them back for his parents to try, but he felt he couldn't be so hasty and had to try them himself first.

A moment later, the boy came to a shady spot under a big tree. There were no seats there, but squatting to eat didn't bother him.

"Is this Yamata no Orochi really that delicious?"
No wonder all the kids love it so much!
It's really delicious!

The ice cream shaped like the Yamata no Orochi was both cool and sweet, completely winning the boy's heart. It didn't take long for him to finish the entire ice cream, leaving only the stick.

Without a doubt, the boy immediately ran back to the shop called "Yuanta's Shop".

There were three more. One of them was called "Yuki-onna" (Snow Woman), another was called "Shuten-dōji" (Shuten-dōji), and the last one was still called "Yamata no Orochi" (Eight-Headed Serpent). This was what the boy had prepared for himself!

The other two will be left to my parents!
He was determined to let his parents experience these special monsters too!

It tastes absolutely amazing!
However, just as the boy turned the corner, a man unfortunately bumped into him.

The boy felt as if he had crashed into a mountain and was immediately bounced far away.

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the three edible monsters in his hand all flew out of the boy's hand!

When the boy jumped up from the ground with a scream and ran over to check, he could only see three monster corpses that were "completely unrecognizable"!

"It's over. All the monsters are dead."

The boy sat down on the ground, staring at the three "corpses," and murmured pitifully.

"Um, I'm so sorry, little friend. It was my mistake. My bad. I'll make it up to you double, okay?"

At that moment, the man who had just bumped into the boy also came over, squatted down next to the boy, and sincerely apologized.

"No need, it's not your fault, big brother. I was just too happy and didn't pay attention. You don't need to compensate me!"

However, the boy refused the man's request for compensation.

In the boy's view, given his skills, he shouldn't have bumped into this man under normal circumstances; the reason he did was purely due to his own negligence.

Therefore, he is the one who should bear full responsibility for this matter, and he should be the one apologizing.

However, the man seemed to be a stubborn person, insisting that it was his fault, so in the end the man took the boy back to the small shop and bought four more ice creams.

As for why it wasn't doubled, it's because the boy's small hands simply couldn't hold that many ice creams; four were already the limit.

"Although I don't know how you mistook this for something else, little one, you have to remember this from now on: this thing is called ice cream, not some kind of monster. It's just a special appearance that stores make to attract kids like you~"
Oh, right, we've talked so much, and I haven't even introduced myself yet. My name is Higashino Hideichi, and I'm a reporter. If you ever have any questions about any part of Tokyo, feel free to ask me!
I'm currently living near White Stone Beach. There are only two houses there right now, and the one closer to the beach is where I live.

The man bent down, reached out his right hand, and gently patted the boy's head as he spoke.

"Okay, I understand, Brother Higashino. If I have any questions, I will definitely come back to you!"
Also, my name is Ishida Sogen, and I just arrived here with my parents from out of town!

The boy nodded in response to Higashino Hideyoshi.

"Ishida Soken?"

When Higashino Shuichi heard the name, his expression faltered slightly.

Well, he admitted that when he suddenly decided to create this wonderful encounter, he didn't recognize that this was the future Ishida Sogen.

After all, in Higashino Shuichi's memory, he only saw Ishida Sogen's appearance in his old age.

There is absolutely no image of Ishida Sogen, who is now around ten years old.

The reason why Higashino Shuichi came over was simply because he happened to pass by and discovered that the boy Ishida Sogen possessed Quincy power that was no less than that of the Kurosaki couple he had seen before.

It's important to know that at that time, the Kurosaki couple were no longer at their peak due to their age, and the Quincy in the present world were also very weak overall.

However, as two experienced adult Quincy, and from a pure-blooded Quincy family like the Kurosaki family, they are definitely among the top Quincy still alive in the world today in terms of strength alone.

But now that a little boy's Quincy power is no less than theirs, that's really outrageous.

If it weren't for this reason, a little boy with Quincy powers wouldn't have caught Higashino Shuichi's attention. But now that the boy has revealed his family background and is indeed Ishida Sogen, everything makes sense.

Although in the original storyline, Ishida Sogen was definitely not a Quincy with top-tier strength, it depends on who you compare him to. If you disregard his overpowered son and grandson, then Ishida Sogen would definitely be one of the top Quincy in the history of the modern world.

Furthermore, the Ishida family, like the Kurosaki family, is a standard pure-blooded Quincy family. Therefore, it is quite reasonable that Ishida Sogen, at the age of around ten, possesses Quincy power that is stronger than that of other Quincy in the world at this time.

But precisely because of this, a problem that Higashino Shuichi could selectively ignore before has now become impossible to ignore.

That's why Ishida Sogen appears to be an idiot when it comes to understanding many new things in the world.
The feeling that Higashino Shuichi had was like
"Never seen it before?"

Higashino Shuichi suddenly pointed out the strong sense of unease he felt inside.

This is absolutely abnormal!

According to Yamada Sogen himself, he and his parents had just returned from outside.

Where else in this world, besides an island nation, could it be?
No matter where he is, Yamada Sogen should know about ice cream.

This thing has been around for over a hundred years. Not to mention island nations, even in London and other small inhabited places in the Western District, everyone should know about it in the summer.

unless
Higashino Shuichi thought of another possibility: that Ishida Sogen actually came from an even more ancient place, a place that might not have kept up with the times and therefore didn't have ice cream at all.

"Well then, thank you, Brother Xiuyi. See you next time!"

While Higashino Hideichi was lost in thought, Ishida Sogen had already waved goodbye to him and then ran off into the distance again.

This time, Ishida Sogen focused his attention and quickly weaved through the crowd, avoiding any collisions with passersby.

"If his parents knew that Zongxian actually used the Flying Sickle Kick to dodge pedestrians, they would definitely stomp their feet in anger, right?"

Standing there silently watching Ishida Sogen as he showed off his skills and slowly disappeared from his sight, Higashino Shuichi suddenly remembered something funny.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a smartphone like he did in his previous life, otherwise he would definitely have taken a picture of this scene and shown it to Ishida Sogen's son, Ryugen, and his grandson, Ishida Uryu, in the future.

What is meant by "dark history"?
That's it.

From Higashino Shuichi's perspective, the best course of action now would be for him to secretly follow Ishida Sogen and find out exactly where he and his parents were staying, and then try to make contact with Sogen's parents.

See if it's possible to obtain some evidence that supports your suspicions.

But that would be too much trouble.

Moreover, to be honest, there is still an irreconcilable conflict between Shinigami and Quincy, at least at this point in time.

After all, the massacres of Quincy by the Grim Reaper in the present world are still fresh in everyone's memory.

Although during the purge of Quincy by the Soul Society from the human world about a hundred years ago, the Soul Reapers deliberately left behind a group of Quincy who remained sufficiently neutral at the time,
In reality, most of the Quincy who survived the massacre were still forever blacklisted by the Grim Reapers because of that massacre.

Even though Shuichi Higashino knows that the future Sogen Ishida is an "enlightened person" who actively promotes peaceful coexistence between Shinigami and Quincy, it does not mean that Sogen Ishida's parents were also Quincy.

If his parents are among the most common Quincy nowadays, then when Higashino Shuichi comes knocking and reveals his true intentions, he will definitely not be able to get any useful information from Ishida Sogen's parents. It's even possible that they will resort to deception.

So after a moment's thought, Higashino Shuichi used a contact method he hadn't used in a long time.

"Can I borrow a few of those disobedient Olafs?"

Are you sure about our current relationship?

"It was a small thing."
I promise you, I can unconditionally grant you one small favor from now on.

"How small?"

"Equivalent value".

"Heh, looks like you're determined to win, Shuichi~"

"I think it's fine to satisfy my curiosity, isn't it? You've always been like that, haven't you, Aizen-sama?"

"Yes, but it sounds like your curiosity is rather cheap."

"Excessive curiosity can be deadly; I can't afford that price right now!"

"It's just that you don't want to. What I want, you can absolutely afford!"

The conversation between the two ended quickly, as always.

Even though the relationship between Higashino Shuichi and Aizen Sousuke has fundamentally changed from what it was before, neither Higashino Shuichi nor Aizen Sousuke seems to take it to heart. All these changes seem more like a natural progression.

Both of them knew this day would come.

Meanwhile, a fully loaded cargo ship arrived at the port of Tokyo.

The dockworkers were busy unloading cargo from the ship, and no one noticed a tall figure flash past among the goods.

"It really brings back memories and that familiar taste~"

A short while later, at the very top of a church built specifically for Western Christians near the dock, the tall figure stood with his arms crossed.

With his eyes sweeping over the busy crowd below, the figure suddenly revealed a playful smile, and then slowly extended his left hand forward.

"Although I came here to save you, you stupid donkey, simply doing this is too boring. Since you're already here, you should make a grand entrance!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a ripple spread outwards along with the snapping of the left finger of the figure.

The humans in Tokyo Road were completely unaware, but at the same moment, Kisaragi Shusuke, Yushima Osho, and the others, who were enjoying what could be considered a vacation in Tokyo Road, all felt this unusually powerful and provocative spiritual pressure!
