Poof!
Tenya's skin cracked and bled over large areas. At first glance, it looked very serious, but in reality, it was just a superficial wound.
Super Healing.
In just a few seconds, Tenya's wounds completely healed at a visible rate.
'Did he pre-set a self-destructing spell to prevent the leakage of information?'
Tenya glanced at the spot where Kyousuke had been, which was now a puddle of unrecognizable flesh. Even Kyousuke's soul body was completely annihilated.
"He, is he dead…?"
Kirino's eyes were dazed, and her expression was incredibly complex.
Although the relationship between the two siblings was very poor, they were still blood relatives.
"Kyousuke…"
"My son…"
Daisuke's stern face showed sadness, a rare thing, and tears fell continuously.
"I'm very sorry, Kyousuke is dead. Please accept my condolences. Uncle Kousaka is from the official side, and his rank is not low. Surely he isn't completely ignorant of these things, is he?" Tenya hinted.
"Kyousuke, was he harmed by a strange entity?"
Daisuke's pupils constricted. Clearly, he wasn't completely ignorant. He just felt a sudden sense of powerlessness. Even as a high-ranking official, he couldn't avenge his son.
"I have already eliminated the strange entity that possessed Kyousuke."
Tenya did not reveal any information about Aizen. Even if the other party knew, they wouldn't be able to do anything but rage impotently. So it was better not to know.
"Thank you, Tenya…"
"If you hadn't been here today, I don't know what would have happened to me."
Kirino threw herself into his arms, crying hysterically as if to vent her emotions. After all, she was just a middle school girl. Her psychological defenses wouldn't be that strong.
"It's alright, Kirino. I'll protect you." Tenya gently stroked her slightly trembling back.
"..."
Daisuke watched from the side, his head throbbing. However, considering that the other party had protected his daughter, he couldn't say much. He had already lost one son, he couldn't lose his daughter too.
...
Kyousuke's death had no impact, only a brief report in an inconspicuous corner of a local newspaper.
The official ruling was that due to the house's disrepair, a collapsing ceiling unfortunately crushed a male high school student to death.
Daisuke was not handling this type of matter for the first time. Cases involving strange entities were always ordered by superiors to be kept secret. However, Daisuke never expected that a strange incident would happen to his own family, it was agonizing.
Kirino was in low spirits, staying cooped up at home for the entire summer vacation. During this period, her school friends Ayase and Kanako visited her one after another.
Ruri and Saori from the otaku group also came to comfort Kirino, but the effect was not very good.
Tenya had to personally intervene in such matters.
After staying overnight at the Kousaka home…
The next day, Kirino regained her full vigor.
Takanashi's home.
"Tenya, you've come at just the right time, we're about to enter the Unseen World Line!" Takanashi Rikka said earnestly.
"Rukia, are you going back to Soul Society?"
It took Tenya a few seconds to decipher Rikka's chunibyo lines, then he turned his gaze to Rukia beside him.
"Yes. Tomorrow is my sister's memorial day. I want to go pay my respects to her." Rukia showed a look of remembrance.
She had a twin sister named Hisana. By a twist of fate, Hisana married into the Kuchiki family, but unfortunately, she later contracted a terminal illness. Her dying wish was to ask Byakuya to find her sister. Ultimately, Rukia became the adopted daughter of the Kuchiki family.
"Perfect, I also miss dad and Miu and the others." Rikka nodded in support.
"Then let's go together. I also miss Captain Unohana and the others very much." Tenya's heart stirred.
He thought of the female Shinigami in Soul Society.
"You fellow…"
"When did you get so close to Captain Unohana?" Rukia stared at him with a strange expression.
"I'm just popular." Tenya said with a matter-of-fact expression.
Invading Soul Society and causing the entire Gotei 13 to pursue you, and you call that popular?
Rukia rolled her eyes dramatically. There were too many things to complain about, and for a moment, she didn't know where to start.
"Without further ado, let's depart immediately." Rikka seemed very excited.
Firstly, she could see her "departed" relatives, and secondly, she had high expectations for entering the "other world".
"No rush. How can we visit relatives and friends empty-handed? At least prepare some local specialties from the human world, right?"
Tenya suggested going to the mall and bought a large pile of snacks, toys, and electronic products.
After everything was ready...
Kamui.
Since his last invasion of Soul Society, Tenya had already recorded Soul Society's spatial coordinates. Therefore, this spatial transfer went exceptionally smoothly.
Soul Society, Rukongai District 1, Junrinan.
Takanashi's residence.
"Rikka, to be able to see you again, dad is overjoyed!" Rikka's father took off his glasses and wiped away his tears.
"Dad!"
"Don't worry, my sister and I are doing very well." Rikka was serious for once, not using any chunibyo terms.
"Tenya."
"Tenya."
"Tenya."
Three crisp calls from girls, so sweet they made one's bones melt. It was the Takanashi sisters: Sora, Miu, and Hina.
The boldest of the three, Miu, even threw herself into Tenya's arms, rubbing against him intimately.
"Wait…"
"Don't get too close. The magic emanating from Tenya is not something ordinary people can withstand." Rikka pouted, a hint of jealousy in her brows.
"Eh? What does it matter, Rikka onee-chan?"
All three sisters were very clingy to Tenya.
"Oh my. Rikka and her friends rarely come to visit. Everyone, please come inside." Yuri warmly invited them into the house.
...
"Are these dresses from the human world?"
"So beautiful!"
The Takanashi sisters were overjoyed to receive the modern dresses gifted by Tenya.
Soul Society's social development was backward, and its living standards were equivalent to a feudal era in reality. The clothes the Takanashi sisters usually wore were ordinary cloth garments, dull in color, simple in style, and certainly not beautiful.
The dresses Tenya gifted included camisole dresses, one-piece dresses, pleated skirts, cheongsam dresses, and many more, with a wide variety of styles. This greatly broadened the horizons of the Takanashi sisters, who were born in Rukongai.
"Modern dresses?"
"It really brings back memories..."
Shingo's face showed a look of nostalgia.
"Thank you, Tenya-kun and Rikka, for the gifts."
Yuri was quite moved watching her three daughters wear the beautiful little dresses. She was also a modern person in her lifetime, so she naturally had a modern aesthetic.
As a mother, there was no one who didn't want to dress their daughters up as cute little princesses, but Soul Society didn't have the means.
"No need to thank us. They are just ordinary clothes."
Rikka had lived in modern society since she was young, so she naturally didn't feel much about it. She actually thought the 'ancient clothing' in Soul Society was cool.
"In terms of people's standard of living, the Living World is better."
Rukia, who was born in Rukongai and now lives in the Living World, had experienced the customs of both worlds, and she firmly chose to stay in the Living World.
"The sky is vast enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap."
"No matter which world it is, I can come and go freely."
Tenya was speaking based on his strength.
One could imagine, if he didn't have this power, let alone the Shinigami of Soul Society, just the eerie beings wandering in the Living World would be enough to make him die silently.
