"Gugu~"
Little Ginjo's stomach rumbled.
The little boy scratched his head, blushing slightly as he looked at Ito Makoto.
"There's nothing I can do with you!"
Ito Makoto rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Okamoto Hamburg Shop.
Okamoto Erika was in a very good mood today because her shop's business was unusually booming. Her spatula was constantly flipping, and golden-brown beef patties sizzled on the griddle, releasing an enticing aroma from the kitchen.
Okamoto Erika swiftly placed a beef patty into a burger bun, skillfully squeezed out sauce, and arranged vegetables. A delicious beef burger was thus completed.
"Hey, boss lady, isn't it ready yet? I'm starving!"
Customers at the tables urged her incessantly.
"I'm so sorry, it's coming right up!"
Just as Okamoto Erika looked down, the beef burger she had just made had vanished at some point, and a bottle of soda was missing from the drink cabinet by the door.
"Hoo hoo~"
"Hey, kid, eat slower, that burger is very hot!"
Little Ginjo bit off a large piece of the beef burger in one gulp, but it was so hot that he had to blow on it, and then he choked the next second.
Ito Makoto could only twist open the cap of the soda bottle and hand it over. Little Ginjo took the soda and gulped down two big mouthfuls before he finally caught his breath.
Seeing Ginjo Kugo in this state, Ito Makoto had no doubt that if he hadn't given him water, his soul burial business would have gained another client today.
"Alas, to think that I, the dignified Ito Fourth Seat, would actually resort to thievery!"
To fill Ginjo Kugo's stomach, Ito Makoto could only steal burgers from the burger shop. Since he was currently in a soul state and without an artificial body, ordinary people couldn't see him, so he had no choice but to resort to such a measure.
"I'll pay them back when I have the chance!"
"Belch~"
Before long, Ginjo Kugo finished the entire beef burger, and even drank all the soda.
"Since you're full, let's go!"
Seeing that Ginjo Kugo had finished his meal, he immediately prepared to send him back to the orphanage first, because he still had his own matters to attend to and couldn't keep this little tag-along with him all the time.
"Bakudo Number Three—Sokuryu!"
To prevent the spirit king fragment's aura on Ginjo Kugo from attracting Hollows again after he left, Ito Makoto used Kido to temporarily bind his spiritual pressure, ensuring he wouldn't be discovered by the low-level Hollows wandering in the Human World.
Since Ginjo Kugo was still a child, he walked slowly, and it took them nearly an hour to reach their destination.
At the entrance of Yuhua Orphanage, a slightly chubby middle-aged woman was anxiously shining a flashlight, searching everywhere, until she saw the dirty Ginjo Kugo walking towards her across the road. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
She quickly ran over and picked up Ginjo Kugo. The words she originally wanted to scold him with reached her lips but she couldn't bring herself to say them.
"Makoto-Nii, will we meet again?"
Little Ginjo, held in her arms, actually spoke to the empty air in front of him, even waving his hand.
Seeing Ginjo Kugo acting up again, and it being the middle of the night, Kitayama Tsuneko felt a chill down her spine. She picked him up and hurried back to the orphanage.
...
After conveniently dealing with Ginjo Kugo's matter, Ito Makoto was now going to attend to his own business.
Ito Makoto first covered the entire Yuhua Town with his spiritual pressure to ensure that the Hollows in Yuhua Town had been cleared. Since he had accepted the Garrison task, he definitely had to complete it well, otherwise, causing a Hollow disaster would eventually attract the attention of the Soul Society.
Not long after, an irregular large opening appeared in the space in front of Ito Makoto, behind which was a pitch-black chaos. It was a Hueco Mundo.
Ito Makoto's mouth curved slightly upward, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart:
"Finally here?"
He then leaped into the Hueco Mundo, and waiting inside the Hueco Mundo was a human-shaped Menos Grande with black eyes, black hair, and a body shrouded in black bone armor.
The human-shaped Menos Grande was naturally the main body, Yekawa!
...
Not long after, in a vast Desert in Hueco Mundo, space twisted, and two figures emerged: Yekawa and the clone Ito Makoto.
As soon as he entered Hueco Mundo, Yekawa disappeared from his original spot with a Sonido, leaving Ito Makoto alone.
Beside a low hill.
Strange Fish Barnes and Red Mountain Goat, Perke were whispering to each other.
Upon seeing Yekawa approach, they immediately knelt down in a respectful posture.
"How is it?"
"My King, you are indeed prescient. As you said, we did indeed find those few female Menos Grande you mentioned in that direction, but we were afraid of alerting them, so we didn't dare get too close."
Barnes spoke eloquently to Yekawa, his words full of flattery.
And just as Yekawa learned the exact location, Ito Makoto in the Desert suddenly moved, using Shunpo to rush towards that direction.
Although Aizen had already taken over Hueco Mundo, he had not yet defected from the Soul Society, so it was naturally impossible for him to stay in Hueco Mundo all the time.
Ito Makoto took advantage of the time when he returned to the Soul Society to come to Hueco Mundo to cause trouble, primarily using a time difference strategy.
The current noble hunting General Assembly in the Soul Society was fully entrusted to Aizen by Old Man Yamamoto. If Ito Makoto's predictions were correct, Aizen would not appear in Hueco Mundo within the next six months.
This was one of the reasons why Ito Makoto dared to come to Hueco Mundo to cause trouble at this time.
...
South of Hueco Mundo, in a hidden cave.
A deer-shaped Adjuchas, with a dark brown body and a pair of long, pale white antlers on its head, was constantly bragging to a golden lion Hollow.
"That ugly big guy just now, I could have dealt with him even if you didn't come. He was no match for me at all."
The golden lion Hollow lay on a nearby rock wall, leisurely saying:
"Haha, you've become very brave, but I've also become stronger recently!"
At this moment, a slender white snake Hollow swam over and said cheerfully:
"I wonder who was trembling constantly when they saw Baraggan before!"
The golden lion and deer-shaped Hollows both turned their heads and roared at the white snake Hollow:
"Sun Sun, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Just as the three female Adjuchas were playing around like three human girls in a boudoir.
Suddenly, a powerful spiritual pressure struck, and a sharp blade light directly blasted open the cave entrance.
A tall young man in a soul reaper uniform, holding an Asauchi, slowly walked out of the cave entrance.
The moment he saw these three Adjuchas, he grinned:
"It really is you guys!"
Ito Makoto laughed loudly and directly charged at the three Adjuchas in front of him with his sword.
"Human? No, it's a Shinigami!"
"How can a Shinigami appear in Hueco Mundo?"
"Did that damned expedition team come again!"
The three Adjuchas were greatly startled by the sudden appearance of Ito Makoto.
"Such a fast blade!"
Just as the white snake Sun Sun was about to be beheaded by Ito Makoto, a human-shaped Menos Grande with short golden hair, holding a large bone sword, and whose entire body was covered in a white bone layer, suddenly appeared and blocked the strike.
The newcomer was Harribel!
