How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

Grocery store owner: Hmm, I think I'm pretty famous.

Newbie here: Indeed, he's one of the better-developed high-IQ villains, and he also has the Zanpakuto ability Kyoka Suigetsu that hypnotizes the five senses. That's why everyone who knows Aizen is very wary of him. Newbie here: That's the charm of Aizen!

GUTS member Shinjo: Oh, I see. Does that mean it'll be hard for Aizen to make friends?

Grocery store owner: My friend!

This word was indeed very distant for Aizen; no one had been able to understand him in the past, and he didn't need any friends.

But I'm not so vulnerable as to break down just because I don't have any friends.

Ichigo Kurosaki: I see. Aizen lacks people who understand him, which is why he wants to transcend the world!

Grocery store owner: ...You can understand it that way, right? (smiles)

Ordinary high school student: Aren't we all friends in the group? Besides, I don't think Aizen is a bad person.

Seventeen-year-old girl: Oh my~

Benten: That guy up there is a real bad guy, um, a bad monster.

Seventeen-year-old girl: No way, there's no monster in this world with a better conscience than us!

For newbies who pay: In the original setting, that is, in the first Gensokyo, Yukari is a classic cannibalistic youkai.

Newbie here: I doubt anyone would use the original setting, since the fan-made settings for Touhou are so deeply ingrained in our minds.

Noelle: Indeed, the fan-made character has a much wider reach than the original character.

Fantasy: The man-eating monster is transformed in fanfiction into a shameless old woman who cares about age.

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumping Jade: Has smelly feet/swallows gold ingots

Seventeen-year-old girl: @SevenColoredLeopardJumpingJade Please turn on your microphone to communicate.

GUTS member Xincheng: It's not very nice to speak ill of a lady like that.

GUTS member Shinjo: By the way, is Ms. Zima the first or second character design?

Seventeen-year-old girl: (╬) My name is Yakumo Yukari, not Yukari-ma. You should call me Ms. Yakumo!

Newbie commenter: The Purple Mom in the group must be a fan-made character!

Paid newbie: After all, any character who isn't from the original work is a fan-made setting, or a third setting based on a fan-made setting.

Paid newbie: It's okay even if the setting is the same as the original.

Paid Newbie |: We can throw the fox spirit and the fox leopard over to fill the purple leopard mother's belly with silk. She has resurrection and skills, and she's a renewable food!

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: That's too much!

Seventeen-year-old girl: Although we haven't eaten people for a long time, we strongly agree with this suggestion!

Moon Bug: ...

Moon Bug: Fine, I'll believe that stupid fox just this once!

Ichigo Kurosaki: But why did Aizen-san drag me into this?

GUTS member Shinjo: Speaking of which, Uncle Aizen said he works part-time as a general store owner in the group. What do you sell?

General store owner: Because Ichigo Kurosaki, you're the hero, aren't you? (laughs)

Grocery Store Owner: It's called a grocery store, but it really only has some talismans and asahi.

Newbie just trying to make up the numbers: This invitation isn't bad, this older guy in Japan can actually get a newbie in Japan.

Newbie just trying to make up the numbers: I wonder if I can pull people from other worlds?

Kurosaki Ichigo: Is "Ichigo" referring to me?

Paid newbie: "Little One" is indeed a very convenient term.

GUTS member Shinjo: A talisman? The kind of talisman used in Onmyoji magic?

A seventeen-year-old girl: The Yin-Yang magic system we provided... but it's been drastically modified beyond recognition by that old man, hasn't it?

Grocery store owner: Oh, not at all, I just made some ghost-related talismans and was just trying it out.

General store owner: By the way, @Kurosaki Ichigo, could you download these?

[A group member, the general store owner, uploaded a file containing tutorials on Kido, Shunpo, Hakuda, Kendo, and the Spiritual Pressure System.]

Ichigo Kurosaki: What are these?

Chapter 548 Miss Fox: Let's Cultivate Immortality!

Ichigo Kurosaki: But I didn't want to be a Shinigami, even though my dad used to be one... right?

Ichigo Kurosaki thought about his father, who was always acting silly, and couldn't imagine what it would be like if Ichigo were focused on being a Shinigami.

The image of Dad as a good-for-nothing is so deeply ingrained that it's impossible to accept it all at once.

But when it comes to his mother being a Quincy, even though he didn't know what a Quincy was, Ichigo Kurosaki accepted it naturally and easily.

Being able to walk alongside her father, who is the Grim Reaper, means she must be doing things similar to the Grim Reaper.

Ichigo Kurosaki: Aizen-san, do you have any tutorials on how to become a Quincy?

Ichigo Kurosaki: Besides, Aizen-san, you're not going to be the Demon Lord anymore, so you don't need a hero anymore, right?

Newbie (just filling in the numbers): Yeah, boys are definitely closer to their mothers.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: They can choose for themselves, and their first thought is to inherit their mother's profession.

Noelle: It's a pity, though. Uncle Aizen is a graduate of the Shinigami specialization; he knows absolutely nothing about Quincy.

[A group member, the general store owner, uploaded group files including "Fullbring Explained" and "The Quincy System"]

General store owner: Actually, I do collect some.

Noelle: ...

Ichigo Kurosaki: Thank you. Aizen-san is such a good person!

Grocery store owner: Haha, it's alright. I'm not exactly a saint either; I've taken quite a few lives with me.

And Aizen felt no remorse for the lives lost at his hands.

To say he's turned over a new leaf is really just because he's been in contact with two newbies in the group and his methods have become much gentler.

He is still himself, but he has seen the road ahead. His originally impatient pace has slowed down, and he has begun to cultivate small hobbies and live a life of retirement.

Of course, his cultivation has not stopped. He is also studying the basic principles of immortality and gradually replacing the spiritual pressure in his body with spiritual power, choosing to cultivate the path of ghost immortals.

Aizen was also eager to see the scenery beyond this world.

Moon Bug: Hmph, I still can't quite accept it. [Image: Fat Tiger with arms crossed]

The passing of time: You'll accept it soon / Tea

Paid newbie: Hey Xiao Yi, the statement that you don't need a hero is incorrect.

Ichigo Kurosaki: ? Didn't Aizen decide not to become the Demon Lord anymore?

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Hmph, actually I'm just the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings!

Ichigo Kurosaki: What do you mean?

Moon Bug: This means that although Aizen is the first Demon Lord you will face, there is more than one Demon Lord.

Paid Newbie: Your mother's death is related to him~

Ichigo Kurosaki: What!?

Kurosaki Ichigo jumped out of bed in excitement!

His mother's death remains an indelible pain in Ichigo Kurosaki's heart. That scene and that process are still etched in his memory, and he can never forget them...

If we ignore that older sister, if he hadn't been able to see spirits since childhood, if...

The guilt over his mother's death filled Ichigo Kurosaki's heart.

Now, someone suddenly tells him that his mother's death was not his fault, but related to others. The first thing that is awakened is the anger that turns his self-blame into anger!

He clenched his teeth so tightly that he didn't even notice his fist bleeding!

But his remaining rationality prevented him from completely succumbing to anger...

Ichigo Kurosaki: ...Can you tell me what's going on?

Newbie here: Yhwach, the final boss you, as the hero, must challenge.

Paid Newbie: The son of the previous Soul King, and also the ancestor of all Quincy. Of course, this "ancestor" should be put in quotes.

Noelle: It's time for the silly fox and Ruo Xue's educational segment!

Moonworm: Yhwach is just a loan shark, right?

The Thunder-Controlling True Lord in My Heart: He is indeed a loan shark.

Shinmu Mikuryuu: Those Quincy are not Yhwach's offspring, but rather the power was distributed to them, and then the Quincy were allowed to develop this power. When needed, the Sanctuary was activated to reclaim the power and lives of all the Quincy. Kurosaki Ichigo: !

Newbie just there to fill the numbers: Your mother is a Quincy. The Hollows you messed with when you were little weren't that strong to her. It just so happened that Yhwach used a targeted Sanctification at that time, taking back the Quincy's power and life force.

Newbie just trying to make up the numbers: Even though your mom is a pure-blooded Quincy...

Paid newbie: Do you know why you're the ultimate hybrid?

For newbies just to fill in the blanks: Your mother was corrupted by a Hollow when she was pregnant with you, which is why you also have a Hollow component. At the same time, your mother was no longer a pure-blood Quincy but was classified as a hybrid. Therefore, even without that Hollow, your mother would have died that very day.

Ichigo Kurosaki: ...

The grocer: It's almost time, isn't it? In about a year, Yhwach will be resurrected, attack the Soul Society, and then perform the final Sanctification, becoming the omniscient and omnipotent new Soul King.

Ichigo Kurosaki: What should I do?

Moon Bug: Of course, it's about becoming stronger! [Fat Tiger crosses his arms]

Noelle: But going down the path of a Shinigami or a Quincy isn't really a good idea.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Hmph, Little One, I need to give you a good pitch for that thing in the group files!

For newbies just to fill in the numbers: Ta-da! "The Fundamentals of Immortal Cultivation"!

[Group member, the general store owner, uploaded group files; lightly typed x1]

General store owner: But the Zanpakuto can still be used.

Ichigo Kurosaki: Thank you!

Newbie paying for this: Don't rush, there's still a bomb inside you!

Moon Bug: Bomb?

Moon Bug: Oh, right, there's also a Yhwach inside Xiao Yi.

Ichigo Kurosaki: !?

"Newbie just there to fill a spot": To be precise, it's the former Yhwach.

Newbie just there to fill the numbers: You're a half-Queen, too! In Sanctuary, did you think your mother could protect you? It was Yhwach within you who saved you.

Heart-Mind Thunder Lord: Later it will even be disguised as your Zanpakuto.

Paid newbie: After knowing this, when you rewatch the scene where you confronted Hollow White and asked where Zangetsu was, it's absolutely hilarious.

Seven-Colored Leopard Leaps Over Jade: Little One; Where's Uncle Zhan Yue?!

Seven-Colored Leopard Leaps Over Jade: Xu Bai; I am Zhan Yue.

Seven-colored leopard leaps over a jade ornament: (humorous)

Newbie here to fill in: Xiao Yi; I don't have time to talk to you, tell me, where is Uncle Zhan Yue?!

Newbie just filling in the numbers: Hollow White; I'm Zangetsu!!

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Hahaha (rolling around)

Ichigo Kurosaki: Uh...

A seventeen-year-old girl: This sounds interesting~

Big Brother's Words: Indeed, I can already picture it!
