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

"What does he want to say to me?"

"This……"

Morikawa Koryo hesitated for a moment.

As the Kuchiki family's private armed force, he has followed Lord Ginryu for over two hundred years.

It can be said that his understanding of Lady Silver Bell is deeper than that of most people.

He could guess why Lady Ginryo had asked him to deliver these words to Lady Haruko.

In the end, it was Morikawa Koryo who spoke up about his loyalty to the Kuchiki family.

"Miss Haruko, Lord Ginryu says that he has decided to appoint Lord Erin as the twenty-eighth head of the Kuchiki family..."

"Furthermore, Lord Silver Bell said that he has wronged you, Miss, in this lifetime."

After saying these words, Morikawa Koryo lowered his head so low it almost touched the ground.

After hearing Morikawa Kōrō relay her father's words, Kuchiki Haruko frowned.

Father has decided to appoint Erin-kun as the twenty-eighth head of the Kuchiki family.

Wasn't this already decided after Erin and I got married?

Of the entire Kuchiki family, Byakuya has not yet grown up, and only Erin can support the Kuchiki family.

It was precisely because of this that Father invited Erin to marry him and become a son-in-law of the Kuchiki family. Why is Father repeating it now?

Haruko Kuchiki was unaware that Erin had given up his position as head of the Kuchiki family in order to come to the mortal world with her for treatment.

However, with Haruko Kuchiki's intelligence, she quickly deduced what her father wanted her to do based on his last words.

"Oh, Father, you really are..."

Shaking her head, Haruko Kuchiki said to Koryo Morikawa, "I'm sorry, Lord Morikawa, Haruko is afraid I'll have to disappoint my father."

"Please go back and tell my father that if he doesn't want to completely enrage Lord Ailin, he should take all his thoughts with him to the next life."

“Erin-kun did not grow up in the Kuchiki family. The so-called aristocratic glory means nothing to Erin-kun.”

"This……"

Koryo Morikawa was confused.

Why is this development different from what Lady Yinling and she herself expected?

Logically speaking, shouldn't Miss Haruko have taken her own life here for the sake of the Kuchiki family and to prevent Lord Erin from being bound to this world?

Then, Morikawa Kōryō raised his head and repeated Kuchiki Ginryō's last words, word by word: "Miss Haruko, Lord Ginryō said that he has wronged you in this life."

"Morikawa, I'm sorry, but right now, the most important thing to me is Erin-kun."

Haruko Kuchiki was startled by Koryo Morikawa and took a few steps back, but still looked directly at him: "I've already made Erin-kun sad once, I won't make Erin-kun sad a second time!"

"Then, for the sake of the Kuchiki family, Morikawa has no choice but to offend them."

"Qiang!"

Morikawa Koryo stood up and drew the sword from his waist.

"Morikawa Kōryō, I respectfully request that Miss Haruko embark on her journey!"

After saying that, Morikawa Koryo raised the knife in his hand and slashed at Kuchiki Haruko.

"what……"

Upon seeing this, Haruko Kuchiki gasped in fright, her face turning pale as she clutched the two Zanpakuto to her chest.

She never expected that after she made it clear that she would not commit suicide, Morikawa Koryo would actually attack her.

Could this also be Father's order?

“Erin-kun…”

In her despair, Haruko Kuchiki suddenly remembered that before Erin left, he had told her to take his Zanpakuto with her wherever she went. Could it be...?

Thinking of this, Haruko gritted her teeth and reached out to pull out the Zanpakuto she was holding.

However, at this moment, Morikawa Koryo's attack was about to reach Kuchiki Haruko.

How could Haruko Kuchiki, an ordinary person who has never trained, possibly outrun Morikawa?

The fact that Morikawa was trusted by Kuchiki Ginrin to come to the human world to carry out a mission shows that even within the Kuchiki family, Morikawa's strength is top-notch and no weaker than the seated officers of the Gotei 13.

"boom!"

Just then, a powerful spiritual pressure erupted from the Zanpakuto in Haruko's arms, and the golden spiritual pressure directly blasted Morikawa Koryo away.

"Who dares to attack the mistress?"

A cool, clear female voice rang in Morikawa's ears.

The sound made Haruko look at the Zanpakuto in her arms.

Because, if she wasn't mistaken, the one speaking was one of the Zanpakuto.

Under the gaze of Haruko and Morikawa, one of the two Zanpakuto in Haruko's arms transformed into golden light and condensed into the figure of a girl beside Haruko.

The girl had long golden hair, a lovely face, and a cold expression.

Beneath the blue cloak was a suit of golden armor, with a golden straight sword at her waist.

"Integrity Knight, Alice Synthesis Sadie, is here to protect the Mistress on the orders of her master."

“You arrogant fool who dares to attack the mistress, you will face the most terrible punishment for your foolish act.”

"This is?"

Alice appeared in human form from her Zanpakuto, stunning Haruko Kuchiki and Koryo Morikawa.

Upon seeing this scene, one name involuntarily came to mind for both of them.

Hoshino Hibiki!

That person was the first man whom Lord Kuchiki Ginrei had taken a liking to, the man whom she planned to bring into the Kuchiki family so that he could marry Kuchiki Haruko and become a son-in-law of the Kuchiki family.

Knowing her father's thoughts, Haruko Kuchiki decided to go crazy before losing her freedom, secretly leaving the Kuchiki family and heading to an izakaya in the shopping district to pursue her last bit of "freedom".

It was in the izakaya that Haruko Kuchiki and Erin spent a month together in tacit understanding.

Although Haruko Kuchiki never met Kyoga Hoshino, he had instigated a rebellion against Seireitei and even captured the 9th and 7th Divisions. If Erin hadn't stopped him, the damage he caused to Seireitei would probably have been several times worse.

As the protagonist who instigated the rebellion, Hoshino Hibiki's abilities eventually became well-known to everyone.

That is the terrifying ability to materialize an enemy's Zanpakuto in the outside world and control it to attack the Zanpakuto's owner.

If Hoshino Hibiki's Zanpakuto invades one's mental world, the Zanpakuto will be influenced and launch a magnificent rebellion against its master.

No wonder Erin-kun made him carry these two Zanpakuto with him wherever he went; it turns out, this was Erin-kun's way of protecting himself.

Morikawa Koryo's expression, however, was much more serious.

As a retainer of the Kuchiki family, how could Morikawa Koryo not know that the Kuchiki family's son-in-law Erin's ability was "sword making"?

Now that the young master has mastered the ability to materialize Zanpakuto, given how much he values ​​the young lady, the Zanpakuto he leaves behind to protect her must all be capable of Bankai.

Now, it's no longer a question of whether I can kill Haruko for the sake of the Kuchiki family, but whether I can survive under the sword of this Zanpakuto lady.

"Qiang!"

Drawing her sword from her waist, Alice leaped forward and instantly appeared in front of Morikawa Koryo, slashing down at him.

"clang!"

"Oh!"

In just one exchange, Morikawa Koryo was sent flying by Alice.

"So strong!"

After landing, Morikawa Koryo's feet left two long marks on the ground, shocked by Alice's power.

"Whoosh!"

After knocking Morikawa Kōrō away from Haruko, Alice quickly followed up and launched an attack on Morikawa Kōrō.

With Fanatio Synthesis Tu protecting Haruko's side, there's no need to worry about her safety.

Now, let her punish Lord Erin for daring to attack the mistress!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Under Alice's attack, Morikawa Koryo had no power to resist at all. He could only passively raise his sword to block Alice's attack, and then be blasted away by the powerful force.

"No, if this continues, I'll die!"

Morikawa Koryo was covered in abrasions, and blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth due to the powerful impact.

"Binding Spell Number Thirty - Mouth Thrust Triple Flash!"

So, during another knockback by Alice, Morikawa Koryo gave up trying to regain his balance, reached out to Alice, and unleashed the 30th Binding Spell.

As a private soldier of the Kuchiki family, Morikawa Koryo did not possess a Zanpakuto.

However, his mastery of swordsmanship, instant step, hand-to-hand combat, and demonic arts is enough to place him among the ranks of the board officers.

Three yellow fangs rapidly coalesced on the triangular band of light and shot towards Alice.

Three yellow fangs pierced Alice's cloak and abdomen, carrying her backward as if trying to nail her to the wall and seal her away.

However, Alice instantly unleashed her spiritual pressure, shattering the three fangs on her body, and continued running towards Morikawa Koryo.

Although this move did not achieve its goal of sealing Alice, it gave Morikawa Kōryō a chance to catch his breath. After falling to the ground, he did not get up, but instead raised his right index and middle fingers and chanted rapidly.

"A mask of flesh and blood, all things, flapping their wings..."

"Those who bear the name of the superior..."

"The thunderous carriage, the gap in the spinning wheel, after despair, the light clusters together and splits into six."

"Binding Spell Number Sixty-One - Six-Staff Light Prison!"

A yellow light flew from Morikawa Koryo's fingertips, transforming into six transparent light curtains that instantly immobilized Alice in place.
