"Wuwuwuwuwu!!!"
The Hollow let out a painful howl.
"So amazing! As expected of Tenya-kun."
Seeing this, Miko immediately felt much more at ease, and looking at the miserable state of the beaten Hollow, a sense of revenge brought her immense satisfaction.
"Damn human!"
The Hollow's body writhed, and its broken limbs actually recovered as before.
"It's useless..."
"Hollows have extremely tenacious vitality!"
"You must use a powerful enough burst attack to completely eliminate it!"
Rukia's expression was solemn, then her tone changed, and she continued to coax, "So... why don't you accept my Reiatsu and become a Shinigami!"
You keep trying to fool me!
Tenya was speechless.
Bang!
He punched the Hollow to the ground again.
Tenya turned his head, gave Rukia a meaningful look, and said coldly, "Watch closely, Shinigami!"
"This is how you use a Zanpakuto!"
Without waiting for the other party to react, Tenya took out Zangetsu, which he had just obtained from the system storage.
"What?!"
"This, this is impossible!!!"
Rukia's mouth opened wide, as if she had seen something incredible.
On Tenya's hand, a pair of large and small black twin swords appeared.
"This Reiatsu... it is undoubtedly a Shinigami's Zanpakuto!"
"And it's even in a twin sword form?!"
Rukia's face was full of shock, expressing disbelief.
Because even in the Soul Society, Zanpakutos of this form are quite rare.
And without exception, the wielders are top-tier figures among the Shinigami.
For example, Captain Kyōraku Shunsui of the Eighth Division and Captain Jushiro Ukitake of the Thirteenth Division.
However, this human in front of her, who is clearly not a Shinigami, possesses a pair of Zanpakuto...
This is outrageous!
"Is this Zangetsu?"
"And it's the real Zangetsu!"
Tenya looked at the twin swords in his hands, his eyes filled with ecstasy.
He originally thought that the Zangetsu he had gotten was in the form of Ichigo's early stage "big kitchen knife."
He didn't expect it to be the "twin sword" Zangetsu that Ichigo obtained from the Spirit King's Palace in the later stage. It should be said that this is the true Zangetsu.
No wonder it was an SSS-rank treasure chest.
"Human?"
"Shinigami?"
"Hollow?"
"Or..."
At this moment, even the Hollow was stunned.
As if sensing the terrifying Reiatsu emanating from Tenya's Zanpakuto, the Hollow's savage eyes suddenly became clear, and it quickly turned around and ran!
"Just right to try out the sword."
Tenya didn't waste any more words, and directly swung Zangetsu forward lightly—
"Getsuga Tensho!"
A silver-white slashing wave composed of ultra-high-density Reiatsu released from the tip of the blade.
"Pfft!"
The fleeing Hollow was split in half from head to toe.
The Hollow's entire body turned into ashes before wit could recover.
"What a terrifying slash..."
"In terms of destructive power alone, it's even comparable to a Captain-rank Shinigami!!"
Rukia was instantly shocked to the point of breaking out in cold sweat.
She thought that if this slash had hit her, even without the suppression of the seal and at 100% power, she would likely have difficulty resisting it.
"Wuwuwu~"
"Dad! Brother!"
"The murderer who killed you has finally been eliminated!!"
Miko fell to her knees, crying heartbrokenly.
Although she was kind-hearted, she was by no means a weak and easily bullied saint.
Facing the Hollow who killed her loved ones, she still held deep hatred.
However, she had no power herself and could not confront the Hollow head-on, which would become a knot in her heart for the rest of her life.
Now, witnessing Tenya avenge her with her own eyes, the knot in her heart was instantly untied.
[Ding!]
[Detected that Yotsuya Miko's favorability has reached: 90 (Love)]
[Points +600]
An unexpected surprise!
Tenya originally only intended to test the newly acquired Zanpakuto, but he didn't expect to accidentally raise Miko's favorability.
"Tenya-kun, I..."
Miko wanted to say some words of thanks, but she felt that the favor she owed was so great that simply saying thank you would inevitably lack sincerity.
As the saying goes, a great kindness needs no words of thanks.
Then, she could only repay the other party through action.
Tenya keenly noticed the affection in the girl's eyes and immediately understood everything.
"Hey, Shinigami."
"You're still not leaving?"
"Are you staying here to be a third wheel?"
Tenya turned his head and urged Rukia, who was still in a daze, to leave quickly.
What a Shinigami!
She doesn't even understand the atmosphere!
"Who exactly are you..."
Rukia's expression was incredibly complex.
As a Shinigami, she was beaten and injured by a Hollow, yet the other party, a human, pulled out a Zanpakuto and instantly killed the Hollow.
Watch closely, Shinigami...
This is how you use a Zanpakuto...
Recalling what Tenya had just said, it was full of mockery.
In an instant, Rukia also felt that she really had no face to stay, so she dragged her injured body and turned to leave.
As she left, she didn't forget to turn back and ask for Tenya's name.
"Human, tell me your name!"
"Yoshida Tenya!" Tenya waved his hand impatiently.
With the annoying Rukia gone, only Tenya and Miko remained.
The two of them met each other's eyes, and sparks like an electric shock flew.
Matters of the heart don't need extra words, often just a glance is enough to understand what the other person is thinking.
Miko lowered her head and returned home with a blushing face.
But she didn't return to her original room. Instead, she walked into another empty room by herself, leaving the door ajar.
What does this mean? It goes without saying, right?
Tenya happily went forward.
A sleepless night...
The next morning.
Tenya carefully settled the overworked girl.
Cleaned up...
Walking out of the room alone, he happened to run into Touko, who was hesitating whether to knock on the door.
The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere became very awkward for a while.
"Cough cough!"
"Um, good morning, Auntie?"
Tenya rubbed his nose. Even with his thick skin, facing a scene where he was caught red-handed like this, he still felt a little awkward.
"Tenya-kun, did you sleep... comfortably last night?"
Touko's eyes went through the crack in the door and saw her daughter sleeping soundly in the room. The corners of her lips couldn't help but twitch a few times.
These young people... sigh! I really don't know what to say!
"Comfortable." Tenya nodded very honestly.
He's still savoring the memory now.
"..."
Touko's red lips parted slightly, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
Although there were a thousand words, in the end only one sentence remained, "You guys... be careful!"
Hearing this, Tenya's face showed a look of surprise.
The thinking of a mature woman is different.
There was no expected furious rage, and no hysterical roaring.
Only calm and composed handling!
