Aozaki Reiji's gaze slowly swept over Rangiku and Hime, who were not far away.
As he expected, the two beauties' originally delicate faces were now puffed up like two small steamed buns, their cheeks round and swollen as if they could stuff two eggs, looking truly adorable!
Clearly, these two great beauties had overturned the vinegar jar over something!
"Are you two going to fight or not? Don't forget the purpose of our leave!"
Following Aozaki Reiji's words, Rangiku and Hime simultaneously flicked their silky, smooth hair.
Rangiku frowned and asked, "What should we do now? Did you only appear this time just to fight me?"
The core of cultivating Bankai lies in gaining the Zanpakuto's approval, but gaining this approval doesn't necessarily mean having to defeat the opponent.
Take Zangetsu from the original timeline, for example; the test he gave Kurosaki ichigo was far more complex than a simple physical confrontation.
Besides fighting, Kurosaki ichigo needed to accurately identify the real Zangetsu from many strangely shaped Zanpakuto.
As for Aozaki Reiji's path to cultivating Bankai, it was even more arduous and bumpy—
He faced an incredibly difficult task, which was to exert all his effort and rack his brains to conquer Shinra Bansho.
To this day, Aozaki Reiji still remembers that experience vividly; the endearing sight of the two sisters sleeping tightly embraced is still clear in his mind.
That fierce battle was truly breathtaking, lasting a full three months without any breaks.
Moreover, it wasn't just the two sisters of Shinra Bansho; all the women in the Inner World could materialize, and such high-intensity confrontation almost made him, a seasoned veteran, nearly surrender.
However, in the end, relying on his tenacious willpower and unremitting efforts, he successfully broke through numerous difficulties and achieved victory.
Hime's lips curved slightly as she softly said, "I understand you, just as you understand me. You know what my heart desires!"
She paused, then continued, "If you can grant my wish, I can help you achieve the training of Bankai."
"Rangiku, Reiji wants you to train Bankai, and you wouldn't want to disappoint Reiji, would you?"
"How can this be?"
Rangiku clenched her fists tightly, the flames of anger in her eyes almost solidifying.
This feeling was truly bizarre, as if she were handing over her beloved to someone else… Such an absurd thing was absolutely unacceptable!
But Reiji always hoped that she could continuously improve her strength; if she couldn't learn the art of Bankai, he would probably be greatly disappointed, right?
Rangiku was distraught, stumbling and walking slowly and with difficulty towards Hime, her heart caught in an extreme struggle.
"Hehe, I really can't understand why you're so conflicted? I have the same appearance as you; can't you just see me as yourself?"
Hime gazed at Rangiku in front of her and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She secretly mused that Rangiku had always been generous and kind to others, yet she was extremely strict with herself, just because of this skin that looked exactly like hers?
But the things you don't let me do, I want to do even more.
You don't care about other women, so why am I the only one who can't?
This is too unfair!!
The more Hime thought about it, the more indignant she became, and a hint of sorrow and indignation even welled up in her heart for no reason.
She truly couldn't understand why Rangiku was so lenient with other women, yet so harsh with her!
At this moment, Hime's gaze was fixed on Aozaki Reiji's charming smiling face, her eyes revealing a hint of eager anticipation.
Rangiku has always valued Reiji greatly; for him, Rangiku would likely agree!
After all, this wasn't the first time she had seen Rangiku make concessions and compromises for Reiji.
Thinking of this, Hime couldn't help but feel a little excited, and her previously tense body gradually relaxed.
"This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity! It just appeared before my eyes. As long as I seize this fleeting chance, I will definitely be able to with Reiji…"
She covered her flushed cheeks with her hand, secretly and shyly and happily letting her mind wander, even her legs distorted uncontrollably, as if she couldn't wait to know the answer.
Aozaki Reiji, who was immersing his mind in the Inner World and teasing Bansho, keenly sensed this fervent gaze and immediately furrowed his brow.
Drowsily, he lifted his head and saw two graceful figures walking towards him.
Instead of cultivating Bankai properly, why are they walking towards me? Are Hime and Rangiku slacking off together?
"Will this really work?" Rangiku asked with a worried expression.
Hime, however, kept urging:
"We can totally try it; have you forgotten how tempting those two sisters of Shinra Bansho are to him?"
"Hmm… I guess so." Rangiku nodded thoughtfully.
Then, Hime came up with another idea: "How about we also become sisters like them? From now on, you call me older sister, and I'll call you younger sister, how about that?"
"What a joke!" Rangiku immediately retorted, "I'm clearly the master, and you're my Zanpakuto. Why should I be the younger sister and you the older sister? That's utterly ridiculous!"
However, Hime waved her hand dismissively and continued to persuade:
"Such small matters aren't important; what's important is capturing Reiji's heart!"
"Think about it carefully, Reiji likes you so much. If the two of us work together, what other woman could possibly contend with us then?"
After speaking, she also showed a smug expression.
After hearing Hime's words, Rangiku couldn't help but frown and began to seriously consider the feasibility of this proposal…
Reiji took a full half-year leave when he was cultivating Bankai.
Conquering Shinra Bansho took a full three months!
It's important to know that, according to the information currently available, among all the sisters, no one has spent more time than this.
Now that Hime suddenly appeared here, it really seems like an excellent opportunity!
After all, the two of them look exactly alike; if someone said they were biological sisters, people would probably believe it, right?
Moreover, a pair of sisters with such identical faces might even generate a stronger attraction for Aozaki Reiji!
Rangiku hesitated and said, "How about… we give it a try?"
"Hahahahaha! I finally heard you say that!"
Hime laughed excitedly, and a powerful current of air swiftly enveloped her body, carrying her like an arrow from a bow towards Aozaki Reiji.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Seeing this, Rangiku hurriedly raised the Zanpakuto tightly held in her hand, and propelled by that current of air, she followed closely behind, soaring up with her.
Aozaki Reiji blinked his eyes, and before he could react, his vision suddenly went black, as if it was blocked by two soft, fluffy objects.
