[Comprehensive] Notes on Cat Raising by Benmaru

Whether it is Tsurumaru or Yiqi Yizhen, they are very concerned about Chihiro's Zanpakuto, and they have even thought about it, if one day Chihiro really gets his own Zanpakuto, will he have no nostalgia? away from them.

But now, after penetrating the noisy space and sounding a somewhat indifferent voice calling his name, the shallow strike in Chihiro's hand changed its form.

The Zanpakutō, who had been calling her in her sleep all this time, finally appeared.The Zanpakuto looked heavy, and even the blade appeared black as if it had been scorched, and the ribbon tied to the handle was swept up by the sudden wind.

And the flame that appeared along with Shi Jieyu quickly drew a huge fire circle on the ground, and Xu who was bound in the circle was quickly swallowed up the moment he came into contact with the flame.

Just like the unreasonable part of her character, she has the ability to be powerful without regard to the influence on her surroundings.

However, Tsurumaru found that Chihiro's face illuminated by the orange light did not show any joy, on the contrary, her expression looked a little painful.

Tsurumaru suddenly thought of Chihiro in the previous dream, the girl who was always fascinated when wielding the Asagi, she obviously hadn't found her Zanpakutō yet.

but now……

"Will Xiaoqian..." He lowered his voice and expressed his guess to Yiqi Yizhen, "Will he be unable to carry the power of his Zanpakuto..."

It may be unbelievable to say it, because the Zanpakuto born from the soul of the god of death, its ability is determined by the level of spiritual power of the god of death.Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the god of death to bear his Zanpakuto.

However, this kind of thing happened to Chihiro.Chihiro, whose spiritual body has been unstable since she was a child, finally noticed a sense of fatigue after excessive use of spiritual power.

The pain of being separated from the spirit body from inside her body made her brain go blank for a moment.Suddenly, a voice seemed to emerge from his mind.

"Wake up quickly..."

She couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while, so she could only bite her lip slightly, trying her best to control the output of spiritual power within the acceptable range.

"I can't continue to sleep..."

A sigh-like sound hit her eardrums, but the increasingly uncontrollable flames made her have no time to care about the voice in her heart.

But even so, she didn't stop. She turned her head slightly and looked at the students who were organizing emergency rescue. The students who were still in chaos seemed to have calmed down at this moment. They stood back to back and formed a triangle, forcing them back with the ghost way The void approaching them.

After persisting for a while, she will probably be fine, she thought, although encountering such a sudden situation during the internship made her a little flustered, but now that her side has the upper hand, she can't help but feel at ease.

However, what she didn't expect was that the call for help had already been sent out, but the help did not arrive for a long time.

Under the firelight all over the sky, groups of ghosts appeared in groups. The original azure sky became a somewhat dim color because of being baked, and then suddenly, with a huge crack, the sky was completely brittle in front of Qianxun's eyes.

The void pierced by the saber was thrown down, and a monster with huge bone spurs appeared in the distorted sky, and the electric light wrapped around it almost shattered the void.

Tsurumaru opened his eyes slightly, he stretched out his hand to hold the Asagi tied around his waist, and said to himself in an unbelievable tone, "Why...there is a retrograde army..."

Shocked by the unfamiliar monster, who didn't know its enemy or friend, Chihiro also froze for a moment. After stepping through the flames, the time traveler looked around for a long time, and then raised the blade in his hand.

They regard all the people in front of them as enemies.

A huge black hole appeared behind the time-traveling army. Chihiro was unaware that the space in front of her had been distorted. She was still thinking about where the unknown enemy came from.Judging from their behavior of beheading Xu just now, it shouldn't be from the Xu circle.

Her hands hung down slightly, and the black streamers wrapped around her hands as if they were alive.

She took a slight step back, and leaned against her classmates who had fought against the enemy back to back.The person in charge of leading the team for this internship is the monitor of Class [-]. He is holding the communicator tightly in his hand at the moment, and sweat seems to appear on his forehead.

But he can't be blamed for this. After all, for students who have encountered enemies in simulated battles before, the current situation has completely exceeded expectations.

"I can't go on like this..." The more critical the moment, the calmer Chihiro became.Although she has never had much sympathy for people she doesn't know well, if she runs away at this moment, the dignity of the family she is carrying will be destroyed once.

She looked down, and there were no people on the empty street. Not far away, the door of the hotel with Ikedaya lanterns written on it was closed for some reason, and the lanterns that were blown around by the wind seemed to be about to break.

"You evacuate first, I will stand here."

"Are you kidding?" The squad leader frowned, "Do you think we are the ones who can abandon our companions and escape alone?"

You may not be, but the people behind you may not be.

Chihiro sneered in her heart, but she didn't say it out, she just stretched out her hand and gently pushed the monitor, with a serious and calm face, "I have a sense of proportion."

When she showed this expression, it was always very reassuring. Although she was suspicious, the squad leader had already started to think about what Chihiro said.

However, Tsurumaru and Yiqi Yizhen, who are very familiar with Chihiro, understand that Chihiro is trying to be brave.

Tsurumaru's sense of uneasiness became stronger, he walked quickly to Chihiro's side, and wanted to put his hand on her shoulder, but unexpectedly, his hand passed straight through Chihiro's shoulder.

Tsurumaru froze, his golden eyes seemed to be filled with incomprehension, he raised his hand and looked, the fingers holding the sword all the year round were worn out with thin calluses, the fingers he was used to usually did not Know why it looks a bit transparent.

He moved his gaze down and finally settled on the bell on his waist.

The shimmering bell no longer showed signs of frenzied vibration at the beginning. He reached out and touched the bell, and the warm touch from the bell seemed to remind him openly that the abnormalities he had now were all because of The bell on his body.

don't approach-

This seems to be the warning given by the medicine seller.

Tsurumaru fell silent in a rare way. Before he came to Chihiro's dream, he originally thought that since he knew it was a dream, no matter what happened Chihiro would not have any accidents, and he should be able to maintain absolute calm.

He took a deep breath, and called Chihiro's name in a rare and serious voice, "Xiao Qian..."

There was no response, she was clearly by her side, but she didn't notice Chihiro Fusangshen, still staring straight ahead, she perfectly violated Tsurumaru's expectations, and said again in an urging voice, "Hurry up!" Go away, or it will be too late."

Tsurumaru slowly closed his eyes, Chihiro's usual voice in his ears, "It is impossible to contact the teacher through the communicator now, if you want to get rescue, you must find the teacher."

The students standing behind the squad leader were already afraid of the coercive retrograde army in front of them. After a short hesitation, someone finally couldn't bear it and stretched out his hand to pull the squad leader's uniform. , and then bring the rescue to the students of Sifengyuan."

The squad leader fell silent, then, he turned to look at the others, and after they looked away guiltily, he suddenly felt tired.

"I see," he said.

He handed the communicator in his hand to a student who had been silent all this time, and under the slightly surprised gaze of the other student, he said calmly, "However, in the knowledge I have learned about the god of death, there is no such thing as leaving the companion alone. .”

"So, I chose to stay." Chihiro turned her head and glanced at him, feeling for the first time that her class was not as bad as she imagined.

She did not refuse this time, but raised her hand slightly, and danced the blade in a circle in front of her.

The flames that appeared with Shi Jieyu attacked the retrograde army again, and the burnt smell rushed into the nostrils. After the angry wail, the retrograde army, who was surrounded by thunder, launched a more violent attack as if they were enraged. Rapid attack.

The gun-shaped retrograde army with an unimaginable speed rushed towards Qianxun holding the gun, the tip of his gun shone with dazzling silver light, as if he was not afraid of Qianxun's flame at all, he swung at Qianxun viciously down.

It will definitely be penetrated——

Chihiro, whose spiritual power was on the verge of being overdrawn, thought that she lifted the Zanpakutō with great effort, hoping to receive a blow from the opponent.

But she was really tired, as the only one among this group of interns who summoned Zanpakuto, she almost took all the attacks.

The originally unstable spirit body now even moved slowly. She could only watch helplessly as the sharp soul-chopping knife pierced her abdomen, and then she let go of her hand.

The Zanpakuto that fell on the barrier wall made a slight sound, and then, the barrier wall originally built by Chihiro shattered in an instant, and suddenly rushed out to block Chihiro, but was directly attacked by the retrograde army. The ghost version Tsurumaru passed through the body, and even his fingers trembled.

He turned around, watched Chihiro fall from the sky, and then yanked the bell around his waist.

"Tsuramaru Palace!" Yiqi Yizhen made a sound, his hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and the other hand had already withdrawn half of the light blow.

But he finally held back.

You can't interfere too much with this memory, because memory damage is obviously more serious for Chihiro.

He looked at Tsurumaru who was frozen in place, and lowered his head in silence.

"She must be fine..." Yiqi Yizhen said.

Tsurumaru also understood this, he stared at the somewhat lonely streets of Edo for a long time, and finally said in a trembling voice, "At least... let us accompany her..."

This is undoubtedly more painful, but Yiqi Yizhen agreed.They descended from the sky to the ground, unscathed under the cover of the bell's light.

However, Chihiro was different, she fell heavily to the ground.

"Xiaoqian..." Yiqi Yizhen squatted down, his honey-colored eyes seemed to hide some kind of mournful look, he tried to touch Qianxun's shoulder, trying to help her up, but with Like Tsurumaru, his hand went through Chihiro's shoulder.

He clenched his hands again, and sighed deeply.

His sigh didn't reach Chihiro, because Chihiro's spirit body had already started to shatter in one blow from the enemy gun, and even his vision became blurred.

The most frightening thing is that because of the split of her spiritual body, the Zanpakutō that fell from a high altitude to the ground also shattered in an instant.

She turned her head slightly, her fingers seemed to tremble.

"Xiaoqian..." Yiqi Yizheng's voice also became hoarse, he called Qianxun again, and then turned his head away, unable to bear to see her struggling to reach out to the fragments.

Even if it shattered, the sharp fragments cut Chihiro's finger, and the dazzling red blood beads wrapped in aura instantly stained the blade.

Then, a scene that made Tsurumaru and Ichiki Ikshin feel unbelievable appeared.

Accompanied by the rekindled flame, the girl in black kimono transformed into a figure from the flame.She has black, soft cat ears, and two slender and jet-black cat tails protruding from the back of the kimono gently brushed over Chihiro's face.

She tilted her head slightly, but still had a smile on her face.

Zanpakuto named Mao Matahime, even if the soul of the sword is transformed into a human form, the appearance is very suitable for her name.

She looked at the retrograde army used to confirm Chihiro's life and death, and bent down to pick up the broken Zanpakuto from the ground with only half of it left.

She turned her head slightly, as if in her smiling eyes was Chihiro's surprised expression.

However, what was more surprising than her was that he stood aside and saw Mao Youlian's first move. He rubbed his eyes in rare surprise. Fu Sangshen, with a mixed tone of bewilderment, called out the name of the Zanpakuto in front of him that was left in his memory.

"No... my lord?"
