Chapter 17: Parting ways for now
(OPENING: Aimer – US feat. TK from Ling Tosite Sigure)
GUEST ROOM - URAHARA SHOP - FORENOON
(Soundtrack: Bleach OST 1 - Burden of the past)
"so ... you really want me to believe that story of yours after capturing and keeping me prisoner one whole day? "Ekichiro Saido, the Shinigami from the stealth forces who's been made unconscious by Saori, questioned towards the group of individuals who were sitting right in front of him after drinking his cup of tea made by Urahara.
In front of him sat Urahara and Saori, whom Saito had already encountered. Beside Urahara and Saori sat Ashido, Shinji, Hiyori, Hachi, and even Raian, who appeared in the last evening right after hearing what happened. All of them with their fake hollow masks on their faces. Raian's fake hollow-mask was also a replica of his real hollo-mask, which resembles a Gigaku-Karura Mask. Like the Visoreds had each with their fake hollow mask, the Ankoite, including Kusaka, Naibu, and Namikaze, were each with their Tengai helmets to hide their identity from the stealth force shinigami.
"For the last time, I SAVED you from the enemy. Because they would've eradicated you, compared to us. For that, we still didn't get any gratitude from you," Saori stated, rather upset for Saido's rude behavior.
"OK, OK, sorry bout that, I'm really thankful, and I'm not completely doubting your statements, but let's say all the information you said about the enemy you've faced is truth. It's still a great allegation to proclaim that THREE current Gotei 13 Captains are involved in those matters as well." Saido explained before he saw how the blond masked Visored, who looked like a child, suddenly stood up before taking out her right sandal on her right hand and aiming it at Saido, who immediately held his left hand to block the upcoming throw.
But luckily for Saido, Hiyori's attempt was stopped by Raian, who held her hand.
"Don't..." Raian ordered towards her,
"but R ..." Hiyori was about to say his name, only to immediately remember to not display any names in front of the Shinigami, what's more, she tried to act as calmy as possible,
"but Kyodai, not only did we save this idiot's life, but we also let one of us take his job in Kagamino City for the time being so that we could talk to him. Saori-onee-san even explained it as clearly as possible so that even the stupidest monkey could understand it. But like all Shinigamis, he still refuses to believe us. "Hiyori explained rather loudly so that Saido could listen to her.
"so you don't like Shinigamis, young Lady ?" Saido asked, rather amusing the masked Visored, whom Saido somehow started to like for her childish behavior.
This made the masked Hiyori turn towards Saido,
"I hate all Shinigamis because of their ignorance and ... "Hiyori wanted to finish her direct statement to Saido, only for her to be stopped again, this time by Shinji.
As for Saido, despite the amusement with the Visored-Girl, he knew that he should remain as calm as possible, sensing that the other masked Visoreds and Ankoite in front of him were above his own strength.
"I apologize for her behavior... "Raian started to speak towards Saido now,
"but there's actually another, more important favor we wish to ask you for, so please listen further," Ashido stated calmly.
"Another favor?" Saido wondered surprisingly, which somehow also aroused interest in him.

VISORED'S HIDEOUT - KARAKURA TOWN - NOON.
(Soundtrack: Bleach OST 1 - Head in the Clouds)
When the three youngsters have woken up, Shinji and Ashido have decided that, until they can return to soul society, the other Visoreds shall show and explain how the mortal world has changed over the last 200 years. But, of course, they also did all this to distract them from what has happened recently.
After arriving at the Visored's Hideout in Karakura, Kensei needed to prepare lunch for everyone since Mashiro took on the Orders to deal in Kagamino City as Saido's unofficial temporary replacement. But this time, Kensei needed support from two people, so he asked Matsuri and Shiyo for help while Fujimaru was waiting and talking with the other Visoreds.
Matsuri and Shiyo were still quite fascinated with the advancement of the mortal world, like the 'Electric stove' or the 'fridge'.
"Shiyo, please bring me the red bottle from the fridge there," Kensei demanded while being mainly focused on the frying pan he used for preparing the meal along with Matsuri, who noticed another bottle near the stove filled with a strange-looking, red-colored substance unknown to her.
"red bottle immediately," Shiyo said while looking around the fridge. However, it took a while before she finally saw a red-colored bottle.
"gotcha !" she said excitingly while taking it.
"here, Kensei." Shiyo said cheerfully,
"thank you, please open it for me." he demanded,
"yes," she replied while opening it before giving it to Kensei, who immediately took it to use it to pour it on the frying pan.
But instead of continuing to be focused on cooking,
"BWAAHHHHHH" Kensei shouted along with the two girls. The frying pan suddenly started breathing a lot of fire.
Kensei immediately turned down the stove while also putting a cover on the pan so that the fire would stop burning, which luckily worked.
"Shiyo ..." Kensei called her while pressing his teeth and closed eyes, his anger clearly visible on his face, "you just gave me the bottle of Sake. I told you to give me the red bottle."
"B-But this bottle was the only red one in the kitchen." Shiyo proclaimed, making Kensei immediately open his eyes, turning his gaze closely towards the bottle, only to see that the Sake's decal is indeed red.
Kensei immediately went to the Kitchen to confirm Shiyo's statement for himself, only to see that she was right.
"that's impossible," Kensei stated shockingly, "I'm sure there was one bottle of tomato sauce."
"Are you perhaps looking for this? "Matsuri said, making Kensei look towards her before his eyes widened in shock before coming back to both girls.
"Where did you find it," Kensei asked in disbelief.
"It was right there," Matsuri said while pointing at the plate on the left of the stove. Then he remembered it again: he had already taken out the bottle of Tomato sauce himself before starting cooking.
"seems we have to start from anew." was Kensei's final statement realizing that this was his mistake indeed and not Shiyos.
Now they've started cooking again.
While the three were still focused on cooking, the situation for Fujimaru and the other Visoreds was more relaxing.
(Soundtrack: Bleach OST 1 - Comical World)
At first, he was pretty fascinated when Love and Rose showed him what Shinji meant by 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' and 'Rurouni Kenshin'. Those picture books called 'Mangas' and those moving pictures, or simply 'movies', which Love and Rose described as THE advancement of Theatre.
But what they showed next surpassed Fujimaru's expectations the most:
Fujimaru's face was very red right now while watching one of those so-called 'swimsuit magazines' that Lisa gave to him, much to the other present Visoreds amusement, who were chuckling by Fujimaru's reaction,
"and these things are really legal in the mortal world ?" he asked the Visoreds in disbelieve,
"they are, at least in this part of the mortal world. "Love confirmed, much to Fujimaru's surprise.
"These are specially bought by men, who are, how do I put it, 'not really lucky' with women. And now that I mention it ... "Love explained while Rose also started to come closer towards Fujimaru,
"you still need to tell us how it was to be inside the girl's bathroom."
This statement of Rose made all nearby Visoreds look towards Fujmaru in interest, especially Lisa, while Fujimaru himself became much redder than before, proving that there's more to that story,
"I don't think that's a good idea," Fujimaru admitted somewhat fearfully while still remaining red on his face.
"why not? you promised Rose and me that you would tell us, didn't you? "Love asked while looking towards his fellow blonde Visored comrade.
"Yeah, I also remember it." Rose added playfully, 'confirming' Love statement.
"I don't remember promising anything like that ! "Fujimaru proclaimed slightly angry, "and besides ..." he added while moving his eyes towards Lisa, as Love noticed,
"oh, so you're uncomfortable for me to listen ?" Lisa asked directly towards the Shinigami if it's embarrassing for him for a woman to listen to 'man-talks'.
"not only that but the last time I've talked about 'that stuff' with someone, I always ended up being beaten up by my sister or step-mother for 'talking shamefully about other women'." Fujimaru stated while remembering his time in the 11th Division.
"Oh, I remember," Rose stated, "back then Kuruyashiki-taichou told us that Matsuri punched you very hard for telling your comrades from the 11th Division certain details about her ..." Love explained, much to Fujimaru's shock.
"SHHHHHHHHH," he immediately shouted towards Love while putting his forefinger in front of his mouth, telling Love not to go further, "please not, she could listen again." Fujimaru added while scarily looking around before looking towards where she, Shiyo, and Kensei were.
"Since they're surely busy, they won't be able to hear a thing, I'm sure," Rose stated calmly.
"And I promise that I won't hurt you either, which means you can tell us everything without fear." Lisa added while curiosity couldn't hold her back from the story Fujimaru is about to tell her.
Seeing that he has no other choice, Fujimaru explains his encounter in Karakura High School female showers.
The funniest part of the story for the Visoreds was, of course, how Fujimaru saw the one naked girl from a very close angle.
None of the Visoreds expected Fujimaru's story to be 'that funny and exciting', especially Lisa, which made her give the first question,
"were 'they' big? "Lisa asked curiously to the beet red Fujimaru, who somehow became confused while the others became more excited to hear Fujimaru's response,
"'they'?" he asked Lisa, not clearly understanding what she actually meant, making Lisa breath in and out before answering,
"her chest. What size had her breasts" She asked more directly now, making Fujimaru not only understand but also get redder on his cheeks.
"well ..." he said while trying to remember it, "I believe they were quite big. But, of course, not as big like 'these women,' but yeah," Fujimaru added while referring to the images from the swimsuit magazines.
"And ?" Rose questioned curiously.
"And what? "Fujimaru wondered what else they want to hear.
"Did more happen ?" Love questioned more directly.
"Like what ?" Fujimaru still wondered.
"you know ... 'physical contact'." Love finally stated it the most direct way he could do.
"ARE YOU KIDDING? OF COURSE NOT. I'm not that kind of pervert to do that." Fujimaru loudly clarified, not believing that they think of him capable of doing something indecent on purpose.
"But you seem pervert enough to go inside a girl's shower room, let alone 'look closely', aren't you" Lisa stated curiously, still not believing Fujimaru's innocence.
"BECAUSE ALL THIS HAPPENED ACCIDENTALLY," Fujimaru shouted this time in anger and shame.
(end of Soundtrack)
"what happened accidentally? "Matsuri's voice could be heard from behind.
Everyone looked behind Fujimaru in surprise, seeing his twin sister with a scary smile,
"M-Matsu-nee ?" Fujimaru said scarcely, afraid of her smile.
"well, Fuji-nii ... could you repeat what you've just told earlier? I'm curious." Matsuri demanded from her brother.
"well, I ... "Fujimaru didn't know what to say until,
"I-I think I forgot where I was." was Fujimaru's mousey excuse for not answering to his sister, which made Matsuri's vein's on her head pop out of anger before punching him on the head, making Fujimaru fall on the ground,
"you're really an idiot if you believe you can still take your older twin-sister for a fool, Fuji-nii. I've already overheard that you did something indecent concerning girls in the bathroom, which I couldn't believe until now." Matsuri said rather angrily, much to the Visored's amusement,
"Well, I told them that nothing happened." Fujimaru proclaimed, "and older? Since when has it been proven that you're older than me" Fujimaru questioned, only for Matsuri to hurt him again, this time with her feet.
"Now, Now Matsuri," Love started speaking to her, "Why are you punching him? He already told you that nothing happened ?" he added, but Matsuri is still on her brother,
"Well then, please define 'nothing', Fuji-nii?" Matsuri demanded from him, her 'smile' on her face still terrifying Fujimaru,
It took for Fujimaru for a while to finally answer his sister honestly,
"I didn't touch her." he finally admitted, "I just watched her whole body, nothing more."
Now it was silent among them all while Matsuri's face started slowly turning red out of anger, making Fujimaru even more afraid of him.
"Fuji-nii ..." Matsuri said, her face still red out of anger while keeping her 'smile',
"yes, Matsu-nee ?" Fujimaru asked, frightened while looking towards his angry twin-sister,
"Kensei and Shiyo still need support for the meal. Maybe you could help them ... NOW" Matsuri spoke, much to Fujimaru's surprise,
"y-yes, Matsu-nee ..." were Fujimaru's words before he immediately ran towards the Kitchen as his sister demanded.
"wow, he really did get the hell out of dodge." Love stated while seeing how fast Fujimaru ran away.
"Aikawa-sempai ..." Matsuri said while she also appeared in front of him fast punching him as well,
"tell me: why the hell did you ask them such questions" Matsuri demanded while 'smiling' again.
"We just had a little men-talk. There's nothing wrong with that Matsuri-chan." Love explained it after getting swellings on his face,
"I also don't understand why there's a big problem." Lisa now spoke curiously to Matsuri, who started to look towards her as well,
"then you probably don't know anything about my brother's indiscreet behavior," Matsuri stated thoughtfully.
"indiscreet behavior?" Lisa wondered still what exactly she was referring to, despite that she could slightly imagine it,
"back then, when we were in the 11th Division, "Matsuri started explaining, "I started, from a certain point, getting 'strange' presents," she added.
"strange presents? "Lissa wondered while the others started listening to her more closely,
"well, things like ... "Matsuri became slightly red and fearful while about to explain it, "Love Letters, pendants, and most disgusting ... underwear." Matsuri was finally able to say it, making the Visores curious again.
"did you really say 'underwear" Lisa wondered in disbelief,
"not only that, but they had my cup size and my favorite color as well, which was the creepiest fact of all? "Matsuri explained before getting angry again, much to the Visored's surprise,
"and there was only one explanation for that, as I would find out later," she added, the veins on her head popping again out of anger, as for the Visoreds, they already pictured out what Matsuri wanted to say,
"so you're telling us that he got the word out to these creepers? But how did he know that all? The cup-size, I mean." Lisa asked curiously, wondering how her brother knew of such intimidating details of his twin sister,
"he claimed that he just guessed it ..." Matsuri stated while getting angry again,
"... BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT. I was mostly angry that Fuji-nii revealed such things to others in the first place. Because of that, I had to deal with many creeps trying to flirt with me, thinking that I was 'easy to get. And that was all because of stupid Fuji-nii not knowing how such rumors can bring girls into trouble, which is the reason I'm afraid for the girl he witnessed." she explained further with a bad mood. At the same time, Love and Rose started chuckling at the thought that Fujimaru might really unintentionally hit the mark, remembering that he really did sometimes certain things unintentionally, like back then with the Kasumioji clan.
Af for Lisa, she now understood that Matsuri only seems to have issues about 'spreading bad rumors',
"so that means you don't mind for him to show interest in girls ?" Lisa asked Matsuri, who somehow looked towards her calmy again,
"Usually, of course, I don't mind," she stated. "But Fujimaru has a crush on Shiyo, which means that he mustn't show interest towards other girls, not to mention telling others of how he saw a few girls naked," Matsuri explained, much to the Visored's surprise, especially Love and Rose, both looking towards each other in disbelief by Matsuri's statement, before looking again towards Matsuri.
"he has a crush on Shiyo? really ?" Love asked excitingly, much to Matsuri's surprise before he decided to ask further,
"did he confess to her ?" Rose asked Matsuri curiously,
"that's a stupid question." Love stated.
"He seems quite shy to do that after all," Lisa added while remembering Fujimaru's behavior.
"Yeah, if he did, then he wouldn't have caused that in the first place," Matsuri explained while confirming Love's and Lisa's statements, resulting in them all laughing in the end.
LATER
After Kensei, along with Fujimaru and Shiyo, finished preparing the meal, they've let everyone know that they'd eat as soon as Ashido, Shinji, and the others appeared as well, which happened about 15 minutes later. However, unbeknownst to everyone else, Shiyo became quite nervous when she saw Ashido again, remembering what happened when he and Matsuri were still unconscious.
As for the twins, it was astonishing to see Raian, who greeted them three warmly. Since they didn't see him earlier today, they
"if I may ask, what's today on the lunch's menu, Kensei ?" Raian asked his fellow Visored,
"well, Kyodai, today we have Italian Spaghetti Bolognese," Kensei confirmed properly towards the Visored's second in command.
"Italian? Nice. it's been a while since my last Italian meal." Raian confirmed rather exciting, much to the youngsters' surprise since they only say him with a rather serious expression.
After preparing their picnic blanket for eating on the ground, they all took certain positions, like Raian sitting in the middle. In contrast, Ashido sat on his right, followed by Shinji, Hachi, and so on. As for Raian's left side sat Matsuri, followed by her twin brother and Shiyo, and so on, before everyone got served the food by Kensei.
Even though Italian spaghetti is eaten with knife and fork, everyone ate with chopsticks, as if they're eating ramen.
And Luckily for Kensei and the three youngsters who helped him prepare, everyone seemed to enjoy the meal, yes, even Hiyori, who seemed somehow annoyed when they arrived here at Their Hideout in Karakura.
After finishing the meal, the Visored and the three youngsters relaxed with their satisfied stomachs before Raian started speaking towards the youngsters,
"Since we've obviously eaten and hopefully enjoyed the meal, it's time to talk."
"talk about what ?" Fujimaru asked curiously.
"to make it short," Raian continued, "we were able to arrange for you three to return to the soul society," he added, much to the three's surprise, who looked towards each other in relief.
"but there's more you need to know." Raian continued before looking towards Hachigen, "Hachi !" he called, making Hachigen stand up before coming towards the three.
Hachigen lifted both his hands before seemingly activating some Kido spell as the youngsters saw, especially Shiyo noticed that her body seemed to react to Hachi's Kido-spell.
"Thank you, Hachi," Raian thanked his fellow comrade, "Now, as you may notice on your lower throats, you'll see a symbol," Raian stated towards the youngsters, who looked towards each other's necks, only to realize that suddenly there's indeed a sign on each of their throats, which looked like a circle inside a triangle.
"what you see on your throats is a special Visored-spell which will prevent you mentioning any sensitive information you've received from us to the Shinigami if they're about to ask you out," Raian stated, much to the three youngsters' surprise.
"what? But why ?" Fujimaru asked in disbelief.
"because it's necessary." Shinji now started explaining,
"as we've already told you, we Visoreds are still regarded as hollows by the soul society. If they're about to hear our names through you, they'll most likely send the Gotei to attack us or worse, so please understand this." Shinji explained it as diligently as possible, making them three understand that they still don't trust the soul society.
"We understand, but ... "Matsuri started explaining, "how else should we explain our situation? Surely they won't believe us when we say that we've, for instance, waken up here in the mortal world out of nowhere," Matsuri added before looking towards Shiyo and her twin brother,
"and these two are especially bad at lying," Matsuri added as well.
"The details about your situation have already been clarified." Ashido now spoke, "as for the Shinigami who'll bring you home, he's part of the Stealth force, which means that if he asks you certain questions, these seals will also help you to answer easily, without overthinking about it."
"And how long will we have those seals ?" Shiyo asked, somewhat concerned.
"When the right time comes, Hachi will remove them from you," Raian confirmed.
After hearing that explanation, Fujimaru, Matsuri, and Shiyo finally accepted the Visoreds' completed action about the seals.
"Now that I think of it, where are Naibu and 'other me', weren't they invited as well ?" Fujimaru asked curiously,
"They were, but then Naibu got a call, which seemed quite important. Otherwise, he and Namikaze wouldn't deny our invitation. As for Hiroshi, Saori, and Kori, they also have their own business to deal with, which is why non of them could come. And before you ask, yes, you all also won't remember their names, as well as any sensitive information you received from them eighter. "Raian explained to them that the Ankoite's name will also be erased from their memories.
"I see," was Fujimaru's response.
"and when will we leave? "Matsuri wondered curiously
"We agreed to bring you in three hours at the latest, but we can also go now if you wish," Ashido explained calmly to the three, who looked towards each other how to decide.
It didn't take long for them to agree with each other,
"we wish to return as soon as possible." this was Matsuri's decision while all three stood up. None of the other two seem to disagree with her statement, making all the Visoreds stand up immediately as well.
"if you allow it, I'll bring them to Urahara, Kyodai," Shinji stated politely towards Raian, who nodded.
"Ashido and Hiyori will accompany you, and don't forget your masks," Raian added.
"yes" was Shinji's response.
(Soundtrack: Bleach OST 1 - Peaceful Afternoon)
Before they intended to go out, Fujimaru, Matsuri, and Shiyo thanked the Visoreds and said to them all 'good bye'.
While Matsuri and Shiyo even embraced Hachigen, who did that in return as well, Lisa then approached Fujimaru,
"if possible, I want you to do me a favor, Fujimaru," Lisa asked with her usual expression.
"what favor?" Fujimaru asked curiously.
"When you see and meet Kyoraku-taichou privately, tell him this: "Lisa said before giving the actual message as Fujimaru realized, "1. that I'm still alive and alright, and 2. that I'll kick his ass, regardless if he's asleep or not when we see each other again," Lisa stated, much to Fujimaru's slight fear and confusion,
"won't 'this here' prevent that somehow. Does it already work"
"only mentioning our names, and no, the seals will activate as soon as you leave the Mortal world, as I remembered Hachi explaining." Lisa explained, "And if it's about your impressions of us, I believe you'll be able to explain that to others. Try to tell Kyoraku that 'a particular beautiful female Visored' told you to pass this message to him. "
Lisa explained, "oh, and 3. Tell Nanao-chan that I miss her as well,"
"who's Nanao? "Fujimaru asked in confusion again,
"Nanao Ise. She was the youngest member of the 8th Division when I was Lieutenant. She must have also grown up by now. "Lisa surprisingly added, "did you remember it all ?" Lisa asked him.
"well ..." Fujimaru tried to summarize, "1. still alive, 2. kicking ass 3. Nanao-chan." Fujimaru paused for a moment," and 'particular beautiful Visored', right ?"
"good." Lisa stated while smiling slightly, "take care. When we meet again, I'll show you other magazines if you behave." Then, much to Fujimaru's embarrassment, Lisa added, remembering again that the 'swimsuit magazines' are actually hers.
"th-thank you very much, Yadomaru-san," Fujimaru thanked her while bowing.
"I believe it's time to go." was Shinji's statement before all 6 joined together. The three waved a final goodbye to the other Visoreds before going out of their Hideout.
(end of Soundtrack)
OUTSIDE OF THE URAHARA SHOP - HUMAN WORLD - AFTERNOON
When Shinji, his fake hollow mask on like Ashido and Hiyori, opened the shop's Shoji door, he saw Urahara, Tessai, and the Shinigami from the Stealthforce sitting on the Tatami-mat.
"They're here," Ashido stated, making the three gentlemen stand up before coming out of the shop.
The first one to come out was Tessai, who has been immediately approached by the three youngsters.
The second to come out was Urahara, who came towards Hiyori and Ururu and Jinta, who made 'monkey'-noises to bother Hiyori, who didn't hesitate to punch Jinta on his head for that.
After smiling at Hiyori's reaction, Kisuke looked towards the youngsters,
"Fujimaru, Matsuri, Shiyo, please welcome the gentleman who'll bring you to the soul society," he called their names. At the same time, they saw a Shinigami with a farmer hat coming out of the shop as well,
"good afternoon, fellas, my name is Eikichiro Saido, member of the Stealth force as you may have already heard." Saido introduced himself towards the three youngsters,
"and I assume you three must be the children of the legendary Suzunami Noble Family." Saido asked curiously while now inspecting the three closer.
First, he looked towards Shiyo's face and her clothes. It wasn't surprising that Saido considered Shiyo quite beautiful.
Then, he watched towards Fujimaru, noticing his red ribbon from behind his hair. All in all, he seemed like a pretty fine man as well.
"I must admit. You really look nearly identical to the picture of yours I once saw." Saido admitted before now, looking towards Matsuri closely.
Compared to Shiyo, Saido considered Matsuri more beautiful while looking towards her face and lower body. He even looked towards her chest area for a second, which she obviously noticed, making Matsuri's veins pop in anger before punching Saido in his face, resulting in him falling on the ground.
(Soundtrack: Bleach OST 1 - Comical World)
"Sorry, but Matsu-nee doesn't like to be stared at by men that closely," Fujimaru explained to the fellow Shinigami, only to put his right hand on his chin,
"even though I don't understand why most guys would be interested as someone scary as her in the first place." he wondered loudly, only for Matsuri's veins to pop even harder before she punched her brother as well, also falling to the ground near Saido.
"You're the one to talk like that, Fuji-nii. "Matsuri stated while trying to calm her anger.
"I'm sorry, Matsu-nee." was Fujimaru's response while still laying on the ground along with Saido.
"Wow, it seems that her punches are more hurtful than by the ape here," Jinta commented.
"I agree," Shinji stated, making Hiyori's veins pop as well before hurting Jinta and Shinji as well, before they both also landed on the ground near Fujimaru and Saido, joining them as well.
"Are you out of your mind," Saido now whispered to Fujimaru, "I would bet that your sister would be considered the most beautiful Shinigami all of them would see her?"
"really? "Fujimaru wondered quietly while still being surprised that Saido is serious about his sister's appearance,
"yeah, even I agree that your sister is a 'bombshell', compared to that 'dumb blond' monkey there. "Jinta quietly stated towards the other men, who were surprised that he joined their men-talk as well,
"glad you understand me, boy," Saido said while grinning in agreement while looking briefly towards the ginger boy, who smiled back as well.
This made Matsuri and Hiyori coming closer towards the 4 males with intimidating gazes,
"Hope you don't mind if we continue, Matsuri." Hiyori stated angrily while pressing both hands together in fists, clicking.
"I don't mind at all," Matsuri responded while doing the same as Hiyori.
Before both girls could continue, they were stopped by Ashido,
"Please, that's enough," he stated towards Matsuri and Hiyori before looking towards the 4 males on the ground,
(end of Soundtrack)
"as for you, please apologize for your incident behavior," Ashido said rather seriously, making Shinji, Fujimaru, Jinta, and even Saido pose the Dogeza-bowing immediatelyin front of Matsuri and Hiyori as an apology.
After they all stood up, Ashido came towards Saido while taking something out,
"here, as part of the agreement," Ashido stated while giving a data storage device to Saido, who looked somewhat cautious at it before giving the device inside his uniform.
(Soundtrack: Bleach OST 1 - Going Home)
"Thank you. And of course, I'll try to take care of them as well, as agreed." Saido stated before taking a distance from Ashido.
Saido then took out his Zanpakuto to open a Senkaimon, a gateway to bring them to the soul society.
As the Senkaimon with the Shoji-doors appeared, Matsuri and Shiyo now embraced Tessai, who started to cry while saying goodbye to the girls. As for Fujimaru, he also said goodbye to both masked Ashido and Shinji, the latter even putting his right hand on his shoulder.
"take care of them both until we meet again," Shinji stated confidently beneath his mask.
"and if possible, please visit Kuruyashiki-taichou's grave for me and give my regards," Ashido asked him,
""and goodbye" "both said in unison towards him.
After the three said goodbye to the others as well, the Senkaimon meanwhile opened, making Saido, along with Fujimaru, Matsuri, and Shiyo, pass through it, who still waved goodbye to the two Visoreds and the Shop-workers.
After the Senkaimon disappeared, Shinji and Ashido still looked towards the place where it stood,
"do you think they'll make it," Hiyori asked concerningly while putting off her fake hollow mask, which surprised Shinji
"I'm surprised that you care for them at all," Shinji said while putting off his own fake hollow mask, still being surprised by her statement.
"except for Matsuri, I don't care for those other two jackasses. They can happily jump in the lake !" Hiyori stated rather rudely as always, but both Shinji and Ashido realized that even she was concerned for them all.
Ashido, also giving away his fake hollow mask, meanwhile, looked towards Urahara,
"Are they finished ?" Ashido asked politely towards Urahara, who now made a more serious expression.
(end of Soundtrack)
"I hope that they'll be acceptable for you," Urahara stated before clapping with his hands.
The three Visoreds noticed three individual Reiatsus standing on the shop's rooftop.
The three Visored saw copies of themselves staying in front of them when jumping down. The only difference was the clothes, which looked less striking than those worn by the Visoreds.
While Shinji and Ashido remained calm, Hiyori was quite shocked to see a copy of herself, especially with those casual clothes which looked like it was worn by school kids in their free time.
"Alright, Kisuke," Hiyori stated, "who the hell are they now."
"Good question, Hiyori-chan," Kisuke said excitingly while putting out his fan,
"in front of you are your mortal Gigais which Ashido ordered for you." Kisuke stated excitingly, "and what's more, right now they're inhabited by three modified Souls crafted by myself as well, who will act as your secondary replacement while you leave these Gigai's. "Urahara explained further before looking towards his creations, who gave them gesture for the introduction.
Ashido's Gigai was the first one to approach his original self, bowing in front of him,
"good afternoon, Ashido-sama. My name is Noba. Like this Gigai, I'm also assigned to your service." Noba introduced himself politely to his designated Master.
"and my name is Kurodo. I'm assigned to you, Shinji Hirako. I hope that we'll get along." Kurodo commented, but compared to Noba, Kurodo appeared less politely but somehow more fearful as Shinji noticed.
"So you're the one whom this Gigai is meant to? Now that's quite belittling."' the third Mod-soul commented rather arrogantly,
it didn't take any second for Hiyori's veins to pop on her head,
"Kisuke ... " she said calmly while her anger started to rise again,
"I'm registering a complaint." Hiyori shouted rather loud and rudely,
"but why, Hiyori-chan" Urahara stated rather calmly while keeping his eyes hidden beneath his hat, "I've looked into every possible error which could happen during your Gigiai's crafting, so there shouldn't be any error." Urahara added while explaining to Hiyori that her Gigai is immaculate,
"that's not the point," Hiyori stated, still rudely and loudly,
"give me another damn Mod-soul, one which doesn't behave like a stupid b**ch, or better yet, you can keep it. I don't see why I need one in the first place. " Hiyori wanted to finish her sentence, only to hear Ashido's steps coming closer towards her
"Hiyori ... " Ashido now stated calmly, but Hiyori could sense his anger by his rising reiatsu. What's more, the three Mod-souls fell on their knees by that sudden reiatsu outburst. Only Shinji and Urahara could stand calmly.
"for your 'restiveness' in front of the stealth-force Shinigami, Raian-Kyodai gave me permission to give you a condign punishment for that behavior," Ashido stated, calming down a bit, but still enough high for Hiyori to stop complaining.

"And what will my punishment be? " Hiyori asked, now more calmly so that she won't have to be bothered by Ashido's reiatsu.
"Your punishment will be part of the next mission we three will have to do," Ashido added, much to Hiyori's surprise,
"Which is ?" Hiyori asked, now more curiously what they had to do while there was a small breeze, moving her hair,
"We'll recruit Ichigo Kurosaki into our ranks," Ashido stated calmly.
