Chapter 162: A new world but not alone this time...

(Ryoto's pov)

This is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is really, really bad! Next to me was Rin wearing old clothing that suited this world, and my clothes were also changed. The only difference was that I had a sword in a scabbard attached to my waist. I couldn't make it disappear, so it looks like I'm stuck with Zangetsu being out the whole time, but it's not that bad. It's better to have a weapon out in case of unknown danger since I don't have spider sense at the moment.

But that's not important. I need to focus on Rin, who was panicking.

Rin: "What is happening!? Where are we!? Why did our clothes change!? And-"

I grabbed Rin by both of her cheeks, forcing her to look at me.

Ryoto: "Calm down, Rin. Breath in, breath out."

As I instructed her, Rin followed my words and started breathing slowly.

Now that she was calm, I could talk with her and try to explain the situation. But how should I do it?

Ryoto: "Panicking right now won't help us. We are in unknown locations, so let's ask someone here."

I said only the truth to her. I really don't know where we are. I may have some ideas, and it's best to confirm them.

Rin: "Y-yes, you're right."

The whole situation was a lot for Rin to handle, and I understand that. I feel kind of responsible for her being here, so I'll do what I can to keep her safe here.

We walked up to some man who didn't look busy to ask him some questions.

Ryoto: "Excuse me, I think we are a little lost, so could you tell us where we are?"

Man: "Hmm? So you just got here."

He looked at Rin, who was not looking good.

Man: "It's understandable that you are confused then. Right now, you're in Soul Society, Rukongai District 78, Inuzuri. You died and were sent here. All you can do is live your life from now on. Good luck. And be careful about that sword of yours. It can bring you trouble, and that's the last thing you want here."

With that, he left to do his things. Just like I thought, it's the Bleach world. The biggest clue was Zangetsu being out the whole time.

I turned to Rin, who was pale. No wonder. She thinks that she died, and it's not something easy to accept.

The only difference is that they didn't need to eat unless they had high spiritual power. Otherwise, they only need to drink water, and it, of course, costs money.

We, on the other hand, have no job and no money. I can expect to have a need to eat since I have Zangetsu and can use Getsuga Tenshou. I don't know about Rin, though. It can go either way.

Before it got dark, we found an abandoned building that we could use.

Ryoto: "It may be in slightly worse condition than we are used to, but at least it has a roof."

Rin seemed to be in a better mood, but she was still down.

*Sigh*

I don't know what more I can do. I just hope that she'll get better.

Ryoto: "It was a difficult day so let's go to sleep, and tomorrow we'll think about what to do."

Rin: "Will we be safe, though? I overheard someone talking about how dangerous it became as of late."

Ryoto: "Don't worry, I'll keep you safe."

I ruffled her hair a bit with a smile. I was confident in protecting her from ordinary thieves, but I hope it's not some strong hollow or rogue Shinigami. It could also be one of Aizen's experiments depending on the timeline. I'm not even starting to talk about crazy strong criminals like Yachiru. If Yachiru is still a criminal, then we may be screwed.

I don't know when Seireitei was built. I think that it existed before Gotei 13 did, so it's not an indication of the timeline.

Better go to sleep as well. Tomorrow I'll hopefully get some of the answers, but before I go to sleep, I need to do one last thing.

'Zangetsu, can you keep the watch for me?'

Zangetsu: "...Fine."

It's going to be a difficult mission.
