Chapter 90 - Let's Fight to the Death!

Chapter 90 - Let's Fight to the Death!

At the Shin'ō Academy.

After exchanging a friendly smile with a fellow student, Gilgamesh extended his hand to catch a swiftly approaching black shadow, embracing it tightly.

The black shadow was none other than Yoruichi, whom he hadn't seen for a month.

In her black cat form, Yoruichi nestled affectionately in Gilgamesh's arms, purring contentedly, "King, I missed you so much."

Gilgamesh gently stroked Yoruichi's head, replying softly, "I missed you too."

After enjoying Gilgamesh's embrace for a while, Yoruichi spoke, "Kisuke has found where Kōga Kuchiki is sealed. What should we do next?"

Gilgamesh didn't respond immediately. Instead, he took out a special communication device and made a call.

In the next moment, Harribel's voice came through, "King, what are your orders?"

Gilgamesh commanded, "Tell Muramasa that we've located Kōga Kuchiki's seal and to come back and see me."

"Understood," Harribel replied respectfully.

After hanging up, Harribel quickly made her way towards the Forest of Menos.

Following Gilgamesh's orders, Muramasa had gone to Hueco Mundo and found Harribel in Las Noches. With her assistance, he ventured into the Forest of Menos, spending this time hunting and devouring Gillians.

Given that Gillians are mindless, emotionless, low-level Hollows driven purely by instinct, Harribel didn't regard them as her kind and thus didn't care about Muramasa's activities.

After hanging up, Gilgamesh turned to Yoruichi and said, "In two days, the academy will organize the first batch of new students to the World of the Living for soul burials."

"I'll be among them. We can take care of Kōga Kuchiki's matter then."

Yoruichi nodded, never questioning Gilgamesh's decisions.

"Gil-kun!"

At that moment, a cheerful, childish voice rang out.

Hearing this, Gilgamesh's mouth twitched involuntarily.

It wasn't that Gilgamesh had an issue with the voice or its owner, but...

"Gilgamesh, let's fight to the death!"

A boisterous laugh followed.

Before Yoruichi could react, a black shadow suddenly descended from the sky, landing heavily in front of Gilgamesh.

Boom!

The impact from the fall shattered the wooden floor of the Shin'ō Academy.

Only then did Yoruichi see who it was, her pupils shrinking slightly as she thought, 'Kenpachi Zaraki!?'

'How did the King get tangled up with this lunatic?'

'What happened in the month I was gone?'

Zaraki didn't hear Yoruichi's thoughts, nor would he care even if he did.

Carrying his Zanpakutō on his shoulder, Kenpachi grinned at Gilgamesh and repeated, "Gilgamesh, let's fight to the death, using your Ea!"

Gilgamesh flatly refused, "Thanks, but I despise unnecessary fighting."

Seeing Miho approaching, he continued, "If you're looking for a fight, you can challenge Instructor MIho. I'm sure she'd be thrilled."

Miho froze at Gilgamesh's words, turning away without hesitation, even using Shunpo to increase her speed.

While she was a sword fanatic, she wasn't foolish enough to battle a monster like Kenpachi Zaraki and end up in intensive care.

Following Gilgamesh's gaze, Kenpachi saw Miho's retreating figure and scoffed, "Anyone who can't face me head-on isn't worthy of being my opponent."

Turning back to Gilgamesh with fiery eyes, he was about to speak when he was interrupted by Yachiru on his shoulder.

Yachiru cheerfully jumped into Gilgamesh's arms, saying, "Ken-chan, if Gil-kun doesn't want to fight, don't force him."

"Someone as beautiful as him should just stay peaceful."

Snuggling into Gilgamesh's embrace, she added, "It's amazing. No matter how long it's been, Gil-kun always smells so nice."

By then, Yoruichi had moved to Gilgamesh's shoulder.

She knew 'Gil-kun' was a nickname Yachiru gave Gilgamesh.

But she still didn't understand why Zaraki was pestering Gilgamesh or what was up with the Ea.

Despite feeling annoyed, Kenpachi didn't bring up fighting again after Yachiru's words.

Holding Yachiru gently, Gilgamesh asked, "Yachiru, did you come to see me, or..."

Glancing at Kenpachi, he left the question unfinished.

Since Kenpachi found out Gilgamesh severely injured Yamamoto, he had been relentlessly challenging Gilgamesh, eager for a proper duel and to witness Ea's power.

Not arriving in time to witness Ea's might was a regret for Kenpachi.

Of course, Gilgamesh declined all of Kenpachi's battle requests.

Such thankless tasks were not for him.

As for Yachiru, she had taken a liking to Gilgamesh from their first meeting, always sticking around, saying he smelled good.

Although Gilgamesh didn't know what exactly she smelled, through his omniscient ability, he knew Yachiru meant it sincerely.

After spending some time together, Gilgamesh found Yachiru endearing and charming, so he didn't mind altering her future fate where she disappears.

The method was simple.

Since Yachiru is part of Kenpachi's Bankai, when the time comes, Muramasa's power could be used to manifest her as a separate entity.

Yachiru then said, "I came to see you."

"The first volume of 'The Beautiful Young Prince' sold really well, and more people are asking the Women's Shinigami Association for a second volume."

"So, I wanted to ask if you're interested in another photo collection."

Looking at Gilgamesh with starry eyes full of anticipation, he smiled, "Of course."

"Discuss the details with my fan club. They should have plenty of my daily photos for you to choose from."

Yachiru, delighted by Gilgamesh's response, happily dragged Zaraki away.

Yoruichi, meanwhile, was left bewildered, feeling out of touch with the current Seireitei.

A month's changes had been that significant?

What exactly was "The Beautiful Young Prince"?
