Chapter 265: The Chase of Bee
Chapter 265: The Bee's Pursuit
"Crack, crack~~~"
Though it was the manifestation of her Zanpakuto's Bankai, the mechanical structure resembling a launcher on Suì-Fēng's body extended continuously, as if playing an interlude of steel.
Suì-Fēng, who was truly releasing her Bankai for the first time, had a slightly dazed look, and memories flashed through her mind.
——
Over fifty years, time had passed...
Suì-Fēng could not forget the teachings from her family since childhood, which was also the meaning behind abandoning the name "Fēng Shōrin" and bearing the name "Suì-Fēng".
To dedicate all loyalty to the Shihōin family was the mission of the Fēng family.
Therefore, Suì-Fēng joined the Onmitsukidō since she could remember, and firmly remembered the noble and admirable back of Shihōin Yoruichi, vowing to chase and protect that back with her life!
This was also the driving force for Suì-Fēng to keep moving forward in the Onmitsukidō, all for Yoruichi-sama!
However, Yoruichi Shihōin's sudden abandonment and disappearance...
For Suì-Fēng, it was tantamount to the collapse of the world. Her past admiration almost turned into obsession, making Suì-Fēng almost madly numb herself by carrying out missions in the Onmitsukidō.
'Perhaps, as an abandoned person, it would be enough to die in a mission...'
With this belief, Suì-Fēng met Senju Makoto again.
Gentle voice, sincere self-narration, warm back...
Unlike the seemingly noble and unreachable admiring back of Shihōin Yoruichi, Senju Makoto was like a sun, gradually warming Suì-Fēng's numb heart.
Even, Suì-Fēng unconsciously developed a sense of inferiority, like a timid bee that wanted to chase the sun but dared not touch it.
'Although Makoto-kun is just a Shinigami from the Rukongai, he was promoted to vice-captain in just one year, gentle and warm, and has countless followers in Seireitei...'
'I'm just a mere lower-class noble, a person arbitrarily abandoned by Shihōin Yoruichi, with an unremarkable appearance, a vulnerable figure, and ordinary strength.'
However, the ordinary self now is always being gently cared for by Makoto-kun...
No matter how many times, unless Makoto-kun seemed unwell and rested in the Fourth Division, Makoto-kun would always tirelessly go to the training ground with himself, patiently guiding her practice again and again.
Makoto-kun...
Makoto-kun...
Makoto-kun...
Just silently chanting this name in her heart, Suì-Fēng felt her heart filled with warmth!
However, no matter what, Suì-Fēng would never allow herself to be abandoned by the important Makoto-kun again. She must firmly chase that gentle sun, and then... then try to touch him...
For this reason, she must have the power, the power to catch up with Makoto-kun, the power to touch the sun.
——
Once, Suì-Fēng asked seemingly unintentionally, "Makoto-kun, how do you think one can touch the sun?"
"Of course, by turning oneself into the sun," Senju Makoto replied casually.
"The sun? What does Makoto-kun think the sun is?"
Suì-Fēng bit her lip, asking with a somewhat low mood.
Belatedly, Senju Makoto, though unaware of the girl's feelings, thought of an interesting story, and then told it with some reminiscence and longing.
On that day, two suns rose in the Land of the Rising Sun, bringing gentleness and peace to the world...
Making people no longer strangers to each other, but all turning into acquaintances.
Although Senju Makoto did not forget to add that it was just a story, and the so-called "sun" was just a weapon, and explained the relevant principles when he was in the mood.
However, Suì-Fēng saw longing and reminiscence in Senju Makoto's eyes...
——
Finally, the memory in Suì-Fēng's eyes froze on Senju Makoto's gentle smile with slightly upturned corners.
'Makoto-kun, I really want to make you happy and satisfied...'
'Although I don't know if this is the sun you want to see...'
A hint of expectation appeared in Suì-Fēng's eyes as she stared at Senju Makoto's direction, and the structure around her body resembling a launcher was still extending...
For this reason, Suì-Fēng, who had already started Bankai training, spent nearly fifty years to complete her Bankai training.
"Bankai: Jakuho Raikōben!"
Finally, as the last few mechanical structures were firmly fixed into the ground, Suì-Fēng was almost embedded in the launcher and could hardly move.
Only the existence that stood in the center of the launcher, which seemed to be maintained by Suì-Fēng's hands with difficulty, faintly revealed some kind of terror, similar to a missile.
Suì-Fēng's posture was undoubtedly completely contrary to the Onmitsukidō, which emphasized speed and stealth...
It even seemed to have completely fixed Suì-Fēng in place, becoming a living target similar to Senju Makoto's "Bankai: Senju Kannon".
The golden launcher was quite discordant and strange in the eyes of most captains of the Gotei 13, only the captain of the Twelfth Division, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, who had been looking bored, suddenly had his eyes lit up.
"What a strange Bankai..."
"The Shikai is so small, how can the Bankai become like this?!"
"Is this Bankai really practical? It seems that the attack is completely concentrated on that missile-like existence, right? Once it is dodged, won't it put itself at a great disadvantage?"
...
However, unlike the incomprehension and doubts of those captains, Senju Makoto only felt his scalp tingle, feeling that these fifty years seemed to focus on guiding Suì-Fēng to practice "Shunko", but ignored the problem of Suì-Fēng's Bankai.
When did Suì-Fēng complete the Bankai?
More importantly, compared with the "Bankai: Jakuho Raikōben" in Senju Makoto's memory, which was relatively heavy and would relatively affect Suì-Fēng's movement speed, the Bankai formed by Suì-Fēng in front of him was undoubtedly more distorted and extreme, right?
Real missile?
Or... nuclear explosion?
Wait, don't aim such a dangerous thing at me, Suì-Fēng!!!
Although Senju Makoto was quite confident in his "Ultimate Spiritual Body", he undoubtedly did not want himself to have the risk of becoming an "acquaintance."
However, before Senju Makoto could stop Suì-Fēng, Suì-Fēng had already aimed the "Jakuho Raikōben" at the part of the giant Buddha that was pierced by "Bankai: Kamishini no Yari".
"Makoto-kun, in this way... I should be able to touch you a little bit, right? In the form of the sun you reminisced..."
Suì-Fēng muttered, and with a thought.
"Bang!"
The entire huge launcher fixed on the ground shook, and the golden missile's tail burst out with extreme heat waves, and then drew a trajectory like the Thunder God's whip towards the giant Buddha's chest.
