Chapter 75 – Ill Tidings
These people who were forcibly coerced by Ailin to relocate were extremely afraid of him. After all, in this era where firearms had not yet developed, Ailin who could cause such great destruction with a casual wave of his hand was no different from a god or demon in the eyes of the simple villagers.
However, everyone was very respectful towards Haruko Kuchiki. On one hand, Haruko Kuchiki was the wife of Lord Ailin, and no one dared to disrespect her.
On the other hand, when they were working, Haruko Kuchiki would often prepare food and water for them, smiling and chatting with them about their daily lives, garnering everyone's support and admiration.
Moreover, they also discovered that in front of Madam Kuchiki, that "god-demon" was only an ordinary, doting husband. This also made everyone less afraid of Ailin.
Especially when Ailin frankly told everyone that after everyone had relocated nearby, he would open a dojo to teach swordsmanship, and all children under ten years old could come to the dojo to learn swordsmanship.
At that moment, everyone was no longer so resistant towards the relocation. In this chaotic world, while everyone feared such great power, they also yearned for it.
And this "power" could refer to the armies attacking everywhere outside, or Ailin's demonstrated "god-demon" means.
Now, while they didn't have the opportunity to pursue those "god-demon" means, their children now had that chance.
If their children obtained power as great as Lord Ailin's, who would still dare bully them?

"Legend says, in a beautiful village somewhere in this world called Sakura Garden Village..."
"It was filled with cherry blossom trees, transforming into an ocean of cherry blossoms every spring..."
"The people lived in peace and contentment, untouched by the ravages of war..."
"Everyone who visited this village was moved by the thick atmosphere of life here, wanting to reside here long term..."Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.come people wanted to bring their families back home and move them all to Sakura Garden Village, but sadly, after they left Sakura Garden Village and wanted to return, they could no longer find the way back no matter what..."
On a horse carriage filled with goods, an old man was smiling as he told stories to a few children.
Whenever it was groups of just dozens or hundreds, Ailin would have the teenagers who had trained at his dojo for a period of time deal with them.
When there were thousands, Ailin personally took action to drive them away.
Later on when Ailin grew tired of these disturbances, he set up a barrier outside Sakura Garden Village that could make ordinary people unconsciously overlook the existence of the village, finally restoring peace.
"What's wrong? Ailin?"
Haruko Kuchiki walked into the yard and saw Ailin's abnormal expression, hurriedly going to his side and asked caringly. Over these six years, Haruko's soul had fully recovered and her body was no longer frail.
"I just received a message from Byakuya through a Hell Butterfly saying Father-in-Law is critically ill and probably can't last a few more days."
"How can that be?" Haruko Kuchiki's body shook as her eyes reddened, "Father was still hale and hearty when we left..."
"Mm, I also find it strange." In Ailin's estimates, Father-in-Law Ginrei Kuchiki should have been able to endure for about ten more years. Yet now after just six years he couldn't hold on, there must have been some matter Ailin was unaware of.
"Haruko, I'll leave a few swords here to protect you and head to Soul Society to take a look. Don't leave the dojo before I return. Even if you need to head out, bring along those weapons, understand?"
"Mm, go on, help me apologize to Father on my behalf too." Haruko Kuchiki wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and hugged Ailin.
Now that Haruko's soul and body were completely fused, even if her soul left her body, there would still be a Chain of Fate linking both. Unless she died, her soul could not enter Soul Society in spirit form.
After gently patting Haruko's back a few times, Ailin consoled, "Mm, I will."
Moreover, Ailin remembered that 200 years later, Kisuke Urahara had allowed human Orihime Inoue and normal souls Uryu Ishida and Sado Yasutora to enter Soul Society before.
After he arrived in Soul Society, he would ask Kisuke Urahara about it. If Kisuke Urahara could accomplish it now, Ailin would ask him to bring Haruko Kuchiki to Soul Society as well.
However, before confirming whether Kisuke Urahara could do it, Ailin didn't want to raise Haruko's expectations excessively. Otherwise if Kisuke Urahara's side couldn't do it, it would only make Haruko sadder.
