"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I originally thought it would take a lot of effort!"
Yekawa, who had transformed into 'Kurosaki Hiro', familiarized himself with the tender body before him, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Before long, Yekawa had completely digested Kurosaki Hiro's remaining memories.
"Kurosaki… what an extraordinary surname!"
Since his main body was still digesting the ever-increasing spiritual pressure and was mostly in a deep slumber, he had originally ordered Barnes and Starrk, who were extremely skilled at concealment, to escort him.
Initially, Yekawa had already prepared for a big fight and then to forcibly take over a Quincy, but he didn't expect to arrive so coincidentally, just in time, so he directly took over Kurosaki Hiro, who had just died.
"But the strength of these remaining Quincy in the Human World is too weak!"
Although this clone of Yekawa did not carry the strength of his main body, his spiritual perception was not weak. Under his perception, he found that there were only about a hundred Quincy in the entire Star Brilliance Fortress, more than ninety percent of whom were mixed-blood Quincy. Pure-bloods accounted for less than one percent.
And among the strongest individuals, Yekawa estimated that they were barely at the level of a Vice-Captain or a bottom-tier Captain like Kensei Muguruma.
"It's practically just a few stragglers!"
"They're just a bunch of down-and-outs who fled the Wandenreich, don't have Vollständig, and weren't granted a Sacred Letter by Yhwach. It's normal!"
Yekawa then stopped thinking about it, sat up from the bed, and then got up to move his body, feeling the immense vitality emanating from this seven-year-old body. Yekawa smiled knowingly.
"From today onwards, I am Kurosaki Hiro!"
Kurosaki Hiro kept moving his limbs and torso, stretching his legs for a while, then turning his neck.
Speaking of which, this was the first truly physical body he had possessed since transmigrating to this world.
Unlike the unfamiliar sense of obstruction when a Shinigami clone first uses a Gigai, Kurosaki Hiro's body was clearly highly compatible with him, as if this body had originally been his.
"Indeed, natural things are always better!"
Looking at Kurosaki Nan, the sleeping blonde loli on the adjacent bed, Kurosaki Hiro tiptoed to the bright floor-to-ceiling window to avoid waking her, gazing at the bright moon in the sky.
On the transparent glass, he clearly saw the specific appearance of this clone: a delicate little boy with dark brown pupils and short golden hair, like a porcelain doll.
"This appearance…"
Kurosaki Hiro was surprised to find that the appearance of this body was somewhat similar to that of a young Kurosaki ichigo.
When he turned his head, he suddenly realized that his twin sister, Kurosaki Nan, remarkably resembled Kurosaki Masaki.
"Hey, hey, hey, does it have to be such a coincidence!"
And Kurosaki Hiro always felt that this body-snatching incident was a little too smooth...
"Creak."
Accompanied by a soft push of the door, a tall, beautiful mixed-blood Quincy dressed as a maid walked in with a tray. The maid first looked at Kurosaki Hiro standing by the window, then glanced at the loli Kurosaki Nan, who was already in a deep sleep, and then softly said to him:
"Young Master Hiro, dinner has just been prepared in the kitchen. Please have a simple meal!"
Kurosaki Hiro looked up at the metal tray in the tall maid's hand.
Neatly arranged on the tray were a still-steaming steak emitting a strong butter aroma, and a bowl of richly garnished seafood soup.
Seeing this, Kurosaki Hiro nodded slightly.
"Then I'll eat a little!"
The tall maid placed the tray on the exquisite wooden table by the window, then gently stroked a uniquely shaped table lamp on the table, lighting it with her own Reishi.
A moment later, the table lamp glowed softly. Just as Kurosaki Hiro picked up his knife and fork to cut the steak on the plate, he noticed that the tall maid was still standing by the table.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Kurosaki Hiro asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Young Master Hiro, don't you need me to feed you today?"
The tall maid paused and slowly said, clearly surprised by Kurosaki Hiro's unusual behavior today.
"Feed? Damn it, I'm seven years old, and I still need to be fed!"
Kurosaki Hiro was caught off guard by this, but to avoid revealing himself, he paused and then said seriously:
"Ahem, I'm already seven years old. I'm a mature man now, and I don't need to be fed anymore!"
The tall maid was first stunned by Kurosaki Hiro's words, then turned her head and smiled faintly:
"Young Master Hiro has really grown up!"
After personally witnessing Kurosaki Hiro effortlessly cut his first piece of steak, she tactfully exited the room.
Kurosaki Hiro, meanwhile, used his fork to pick up a piece of steak, dipped it in the black granular sauce on the side of the plate, and then put the meat into his mouth.
The creamy aroma of butter mixed with the scent of fat and the refreshing, slightly salty taste of the sauce, all combined to create an excellent flavor.
After finishing a bite of meat, he had a mouthful of incredibly delicious seafood soup to cut through the richness.
"It's so good... This steak is much tastier than the food in the Soul Society! These mere down-and-outs sure know how to enjoy themselves!"
In no time at all, a steak and a bowl of seafood soup were completely devoured by Kurosaki Hiro.
"Burp~"
Kurosaki Hiro lay back in the chair, patting his round belly.
"Comfortable!"
After eating and drinking his fill, Kurosaki Hiro continued to sort through the fragmented memories in his mind.
Suddenly, Kurosaki Hiro picked up the steak knife from the table with his right hand and sharply stabbed it into his left palm.
However, the sharp steak knife failed to pierce Kurosaki Hiro's tender palm. Lines glowing with a faint blue light covered Kurosaki Hiro's left hand, completely repelling the steak knife from his body's surface.
"Is this Blut Vene? It seems I don't need to practice it."
Blut Vene, in essence, involves directly injecting Reishi into the blood vessels to greatly enhance the body's defense.
Conversely, Move Blood Garment also involves directly injecting Reishi into the blood vessels, but to greatly enhance the destructive power exerted by the body.
However, Move Blood Garment and Blut Vene cannot be used simultaneously.
These are innate abilities of pure-blood Quincy.
But for mixed-blood Quincy to master these two skills, they need to undergo continuous, day-and-night training!
This is why Yekawa painstakingly sought to acquire a pure-blood Quincy body.
Compared to mixed-bloods, the starting point for pure-blood Quincy is much higher!
Just as Kurosaki Hiro was feeling pleased with himself, on the bed behind him, the loli Kurosaki Nan slowly woke up, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
She sniffed with her small nose, seemingly catching the lingering scent of steak in the air, and softly spoke:
"Brother, I'm hungry!"
Just as Kurosaki Hiro was about to respond, the door opened again, and a young man wearing rimless glasses and with a bandaged left shoulder walked in.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Kurosaki Hiro and Kurosaki Nan's faces both lit up with joy:
"Brother Soken, you're back!"
