I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

"In fact, Ms. Kuchiki's situation is the same as those people in the real world who generate spiritual pressure."

As Kisuke Urahara led Erin and the others forward, he explained to Erin, "However, humans in the present world have one more body that is perfectly compatible with their soul, compared to Ms. Kuchiki."

"Therefore, when the soul of a human being in the present world is damaged by the pressure of powerful spiritual pressure, the body will nurture and restore the soul, allowing the soul's power to break through its limits and generate spiritual pressure."

"It's not very difficult for me to cure Miss Kuchiki."

"However, even if Miss Kuchiki fully recovers, if she continues to stay with Captain Erin, her soul will continue to weaken within two years, and the rate of weakening will accelerate until it exceeds my capabilities."

Erin nodded.

Indeed, as Kisuke Urahara said, simply restoring Haruko Kuchiki's soul would only be a temporary fix unless Erin and Haruko Kuchiki never saw each other again.

"So? What does Urahara, the Third Seat, plan to do?"

However, after hearing Urahara Kisuke say this, Erin had basically guessed how Urahara Kisuke wanted to treat Kuchiki Haruko.

After all, in Erin's memory, Kisuke Urahara's specialty was creating "artificial bodies".

More than two hundred years later, Shiba Isshin lost his Shinigami powers and used a Ghoul specially made for him by Urahara Kisuke. Surprisingly, he still managed to have three children with Kurosaki Masaki.

This indicates that the artificial body that Kisuke Urahara made for Isshin Shiba was a perfect match for Isshin Shiba, truly making the Shinigami Isshin Shiba into the human form of Isshin Kurosaki.

Sure enough, Kisuke Urahara's next words confirmed Erin's guess.

"Captain Erin, my idea is to make Ms. Kuchiki Haruko a 'human'."

"I will create a prosthetic body that is perfectly compatible with Miss Kuchiki. Through the body of this prosthetic body, Miss Kuchiki's soul will be nurtured. In just a period of time, Miss Kuchiki's soul will be completely restored."

"However, Captain Erin also knows that artificial bodies are only useful in the real world."

"In other words, if Miss Kuchiki wants to recover, she must go to the mortal world."

"and……"

Kisuke Urahara stared at Erin, observing her expression, and slowly said, "Captain Erin, because Ms. Kuchiki is not a Shinigami, once she enters the artificial body, she cannot come out of it unless she dies."

Erin's pupils contracted; clearly, he understood the meaning behind Urahara Kisuke's words.

After entering the Gikai that perfectly matches her and can nurture her soul, Haruko Kuchiki will no longer be a "whole" with only a soul, but a "person" with a body who can only live in the present world.

Since we are human, naturally only after death can the soul leave the body.

Kisuke Urahara wants Erin to leave Soul Society and Seireitei!

He couldn't see Erin clearly, nor did he know how much Erin knew or what choice Erin would ultimately make. So, under the guise of treating Haruko Kuchiki, he tried to find a way to keep Erin away from Soul Society.

Once Erin leaves Soul Society, he will no longer be able to sense the "Soul King's" secrets and will not do anything beyond his control.

It wasn't that Kisuke Urahara didn't believe in Erin; rather, it was a stage that everyone who could sense the secret of the "Soul King" had to go through.

The Spirit King is the "wedge" that stabilizes the world.

If this "wedge" falters even slightly, the world will descend into chaos and perish.

Hyosube Ichibei established the Zero Division to protect the Spirit King in the Spirit King Palace, based on this.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni established the Gotei 13 to protect the Seireitei, which became the first line of defense for the Soul King, and it was for this reason.

This is the path chosen by the "warriors" after they learned the secret of the "Spirit King".

Meanwhile, the smart people are all thinking about their own future.

For example, the Tsunayo family, one of the five extinct noble families, was secretly collecting the power of the Spirit King, intending to cultivate a "Spirit King candidate" and make the "Spirit King candidate" under their control the new Spirit King.

Aizen Sousuke, after reaching a certain level and coming into contact with the secrets of the "Soul King," also planned to become the "Soul King" himself.

"No one is born standing in the sky."

"Whether it's you, me, or even God."

"But the period of vacancy on the throne of heaven is about to end. From now on, I will stand at the top."

Even Kisuke Urahara was making his own choices in preparation for the potential crisis that might arise with the Soul King in the future.

Like the Tsuna Yayo family, Urahara Kisuke is also currently training "Spirit King candidates".

However, unlike the Tsunayo family, he did not have the idea of ​​controlling the "Spirit King Candidate". He only hoped that when the Spirit King had problems, the "Spirit King Candidate" he created could restore the stability of the world.

Now, Kisuke Urahara is essentially playing his cards open with Erin.

Haruko Kuchiki must become a "human" in the real world if she wants to be restored.

Haruko Kuchiki, who possesses spiritual pressure, will definitely be frequently attacked by Hollows.

At this point, Erin must either stay in the mortal world with Haruko Kuchiki, or choose to send a Shinigami to protect Haruko Kuchiki regularly.

These two choices determined how Kisuke Urahara would treat Erin from then on.

Chapter 61 Deterrence

If Erin chooses to go to the mortal world with Haruko Kuchiki, then Kisuke Urahara can lower his guard against Erin by a large margin.

After all, a person with someone on their mind is unlikely to go down the most extreme path, and might even protect the world for the sake of that person.

If Erin simply chooses to have other Shinigami protect Haruko Kuchiki, then Kisuke Urahara will have to make some preparations in his mind for facing Erin in the future.

"Thank you, Urahara Sansuke and Yoruichi, for your continued concern for my condition."

Just as Kisuke Urahara was observing Erin, Haruko Kuchiki, who had been overlooked by everyone, suddenly stood between Erin and Kisuke Urahara, smiling as she rejected Kisuke Urahara's suggestion.

"However, for me, how long I live is not important."

“I am Erin, the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family, and I am the pillar of the Kuchiki family today.”

"The Kuchiki family can live without me, but not without Erin-kun."

"So, Lord Yoruichi, I appreciate your kindness."

"Erin-kun, let's go back."

Then, Haruko Kuchiki turned around, took Erin's hand, and tried to walk back.

As Erin's wife, she would not allow her husband to do anything against his own will because of her, nor did she want to cause problems in her relationship with Erin.

Haruko Kuchiki couldn't imagine what she would think if Erin accepted the treatment plan but didn't stay with her in the mortal world. Would she still love Erin as much as before?

At the same time, as the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family, Haruko Kuchiki also knows that her father is getting old and her nephew Byakuya Kuchiki has not yet grown up.

If Erin had chosen to go to the mortal world with him at this time, the Kuchiki family would most likely have fallen into decline.

Three years ago, Haruko Kuchiki had already accepted and chosen her own destiny.

Now, with Kisuke Urahara's help, her soul has recovered somewhat, allowing her to spend more time with Erin, which Haruko Kuchiki is already very content with.

However, Haruko Kuchiki did not pull Erin along.

Erin didn't reply just now not because he didn't want to go to the mortal world with Haruko Kuchiki, but because he was thinking about where to settle down in the mortal world.

The present world is still in ancient times. Let alone modern facilities, there are hardly any decent roads.

Erin was familiar with modern life more than two hundred years later. Ancient life in the present world was not a simple matter for either him or Haruko Kuchiki.

Fortunately, Erin does have connections in the real world.

If Erin remembered correctly, the Quincy Ishida Muneaki, who was brought under the supervision of the Shinigami by Erin, lived for two hundred years.

Furthermore, two hundred years later, that place remains a sacred site and the stage for various characters to appear.

If you really want to live in the real world, being neighbors with Sogen Ishida would be a good choice.

However, Erin did not expect that in the short time he was pondering, Haruko Kuchiki had already rejected Kisuke Urahara's "kind offer" on his behalf.

"Haruko, wait a moment."

Erin pulled Haruko Kuchiki, who wanted to go back, back to his side with a little force, and turned to Kisuke Urahara and said, "Third Seat Urahara, how long will it take you to prepare Haruko's artificial body?"

Erin never had the idea of ​​not saving Haruko Kuchiki.

Otherwise, how could he have stopped making Zanpakuto to enhance his spiritual pressure after learning about Haruko Kuchiki's situation, all in order to reduce Haruko Kuchiki's oppression?

As for going to the real world with Haruko Kuchiki, Erin thought that was better.

Once Haruko Kuchiki's soul is nurtured by a body, Erin can continue to create all the Zanpakuto he has copied, and, based on the abilities of these Zanpakuto, also create powerful weapons from other worlds.

As for the Kuchiki family that Haruko mentioned, Erin wasn't worried.

Even without Erin, the Kuchiki family did not decline. Byakuya Kuchiki skillfully took over the family's responsibilities and upheld its honor.

Now, Erin has only gone to the mortal world, not died. The deterrent effect of his captain-level strength will prevent many nobles who covet the Kuchiki family from being too presumptuous.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Erin's answer, Kisuke Urahara looked at Erin with surprise.

It seems that Captain Erin might be able to become an asset to our side.

"If we start making it now, it will be completed in three months at most."

"Okay, I will come back to ask Urahara Sanke for help in three months."

"I just hope that Haruko's artificial body is just an artificial body, and I don't want anything else to be added to it."

"Otherwise, I think even Captain Yoruichi and Seat Urahara wouldn't be able to withstand my wrath."

After saying that, Erin gave Urahara Kisuke and Shihouin Yoruichi a deep look, then took Haruko's arm and disappeared from their sight in an instant.

A few seconds after Erin left, Kisuke Urahara scratched his messy hair and said, "Oh dear, listening to Captain Erin's last words, it sounded like I was going to tamper with Ms. Kuchiki's artificial body, really..."

"Can you do that, Urahara?"

Yoruichi Shihouin crossed her arms, her usually cheerful face now showing a rare serious expression.

Kisuke Urahara lowered his hand from his hair and stopped laughing.

"I've had that thought."

"After all, this guy is too mysterious."

"He spent most of his 35 years in the Second Division in the dormitory. The only person he was close to was the Detective Squad Leader, Furuta Aoki."

"After he demonstrated his superb healing abilities, those in the criminal investigation team who had been treated by him all wanted to befriend him, but to little avail."

Even after he defeated Ōmaeda Kinosuke and became the vice-captain of the Second Division for five years, nothing changed.

"Because of her small social circle, she learned during a conversation with Soi Fon that as long as she could get to the training ground before the emergency assembly alarm ended, she could go out. That's when she started leaving the Second Division and frequenting izakayas."
