Chapter 214: Time flies by

Chapter 214: Time flies by

(Ryoto's pov)

And another year has passed. Time really flies fast when you don't age as much as you used to. That's not to say that there weren't any changes. There were plenty, in fact. The biggest one is that we are finally done negotiating with the Quincies.

The good news is that there won't be a genocide as, according to our contract (which we have on paper just in case), Quincies are to refrain from hunting Hollows unless it's indispensable. In short just in self-defense, but there will be exceptions depending on circumstances.

The biggest problem, for now, is communication. There aren't any phones or anything like that in this time period, so we need to use human resources.

Just like before, we are sending Shinigami to the human world to oversee Hollow activity and sending souls to Soul Society, but there will be new responsibilities added to the list, and that is to keep in contact and work with Quincies on behalf of Soul Society.

It won't be easy in the beginning, but there isn't a better alternative for now, or at least we didn't think of it.

Another good news, Isamu was able to get the heart of the girl he likes. I can't believe that it even happened. I feel proud. After so many failures, we somehow were able to accomplish something seemingly impossible.

It brought me to tears seeing them together. Maybe I'll even be able to help Rito in the future. Isamu's 'lucky pervert' was a weaker version, so there can be some minor differences and the intensity of 'accidents'.

I feel like I beat mid-boss to prepare myself for the real deal. Don't worry, Rito, your Nii-san didn't forget about you and is still preparing to help you.

Still, no Bankai though, but I started training my Hollow abilities. I couldn't use Cero for now, but I learned how to use Hierro. I finally got Busoshoku Haki's replacement. For now, it isn't as powerful as Haki, but it's better than nothing.

Also, just like Haki, it's invisible to the naked eye, so I could use it without anyone noticing because, thanks to how fights work in this world, I could bullshit my way out.

Without any complicated explanations, beings with a higher Reiatsu can't be harmed by someone with a lower amount. In fact, the weaker person would get damaged. I'm not sure exactly how much of a difference is needed for that effect, and it's not automatic, at least not in every situation.

The power system here is complicated, and I'll need to test things out, but that's for another day. Today I'm celebrating with Isamu.

"Can you tell why we are drinking tonight?" Isamu asked me.

"Because you are one step closer to becoming a man. You are an adult, so you can drink, and I'm not missing your time being drunk."

"Why would you assume that I would get drunk, and why would it be fun?" He asked uncertainly.

"Let me tell you a story. The only time I got drunk, I fought my superior for a girl and had a foursome. Not to mention I got a tattoo."

His wife, after a short while, handed him his son to hold, and words couldn't describe how happy he looked.

This moment reminded me of Lala. I wonder how I will feel when I'll become a father. Will I be happy or worried endlessly? There's also the possibility that I'll become a father in this world.

I still avoided this topic as I don't feel strong enough, but I know that if any of the girls ask, I'll probably comply. I would feel bad refusing them because of my paranoia. In the worst-case scenario, I would just gain another reason to gain strength fast.

(E/D: Or... You couldn't be strong enough. Your paranoia comes true and... character development through death. But hey I am just saying after all family planning is important. I myself may or may not change the entire novel and do what everybody wants to do with Hitler...)

20 years flew by, and nothing major has happened, or rather it doesn't feel like it. I finally grew a bit and looked like a 20-year-old. The same happened to Rin and Yoruichi. After about 30 years, I grew out of puberty. I somehow feel depressed, though, knowing that I'll go back to being a teenager in the future.

Speaking of Yoruichi, she became Captain of the 2nd Division. She achieved Bankai before me, and she bragged about it in front of me. She even says to call her Captain when we are alone. I, of course, rebutted how I won against her in the spar 25 years ago. I'm not letting go of that.

Going back to Yoruichi's Bankai, it's baffling, really. I know that she doesn't like using her Zanpakuto because, as she told me before, she is stronger without it.

With Isane, there weren't many changes. She didn't grow taller or become more mature. She was the oldest out of all of us. She, however, became more honest and, in my opinion, cuter.

Her sister still doesn't like me, though.

Rin also didn't sit still and became 3rd seat of the 13th Division and became more beautiful. I heard she's even got a Fanclub. She even changed her hairstyle. Instead of her iconic ponytail, she let her hair down, making her look more mature.

(A/N I couldn't find an image of adult Rin, sorry.)

(E/D: Tamamo no Mae from Fate series or Yae Miko from Genshin. Also, no Gigachad enjoying both. Both of the Waifus will kill you if you do that.)

Honestly, there are too many things to list them all, so I won't. There are more important things at the moment. For example, Kisuke's new invention, which from what he said, is what I was waiting for...
