Chapter 47

The sudden appearance of a large number of hollows had caused significant damage, though thankfully, Urahara had modified most people's memories. However, Errol had stopped him from altering his grandfather's memories.

The abnormality should have alerted the Seireitei, who would soon investigate the incident.

After regaining control of his power, Ichigo departed with Rukia, leaving Uryu to walk alone. His arms were bandaged thanks to Urahara, who had been acting like a guardian angel. However, Urahara had quietly slipped away.

As Uryu walked in silence, he noticed a familiar figure in front of him. Errol was there, leaning against a wall, seemingly waiting for him.

Errol glanced at Uryu, put his hands in his jacket pockets, and approached him. Uryu watched him in confusion until Errol raised his hand and smacked him on the head.

"Ouch!" Uryu winced, holding his head with his uninjured hand.

"You know, you should be thankful that you're currently my only friend, or else I might have broken your bones before healing you and breaking them again," Errol said, his face expressionless.

Uryu recovered from the pain and looked at Errol in silence, fully aware of his mistake. "...sorry."

Errol stared at him for a moment before turning around, leaving Uryu standing there, feeling as though his apology had not been accepted.

"Why are you standing there? Come on, you're apologizing to the wrong person. The one who needs an apology is my grandpa, who was attacked by a hollow. Although I think he enjoyed himself while killing it, you should still apologize," Errol said, turning his head to the side to glance at Uryu.

Uryu, who had thought he was not forgiven, was surprised before smiling. "Yeah."

Later, they both arrived at Errol's house where Orlando was waiting for Errol. Uryu apologized to Orlando for getting him caught up in his reckless actions. Orlando forgave him in exchange for a detailed account of what had happened.

They both shared their knowledge about the different aspects of their world: Souls, Hollows, Quincies, and the afterlife, which is the Soul Society, along with their powers. Errol didn't reveal his abilities, merely stating that he had had powers as far back as he could remember.

Orlando was awestruck by everything, but he couldn't help but worry for the two of them. However, recalling how Errol had effortlessly crushed those monsters in an instant, his worries quickly dissipated.

'As expected of my grandson, he's inherited his grandpa's awesomeness.'

The next day, life resumed as usual. Orihime, as always, carried on with her naive, childlike demeanor. Tatsuki had recovered from the hollow attack, thanks to Orihime's power, although she had no recollection of the event.

Chad, despite awakening some power, remained his usual self, living his life in his typical Chad-like manner.

Ichigo seemed normal, though he kept stealing glances at Errol as if he wanted to say something. Rukia was the same, but she seemed preoccupied with her thoughts.

Uryu was engrossed in knitting something at a classmate's request. His hands had healed, thanks to Orlando asking Errol to heal him upon learning of his healing abilities. Even though Errol had initially planned to let Uryu's injuries heal naturally as a form of punishment, he acquiesced to Orlando's request.

The rest of the students carried on with their lives as if the hollow attack had never happened. Errol, however, was in his own world, having a faint feeling that something was about to happen.

Over the years, the development of his body and soul had endowed him with a strong intuition. He could sense when something bad was about to happen a day before it occurred. That's why he had bought a lot of protection from Urahara before the hollow attacks the previous day.

Today, he had that feeling again. Errol looked around the classroom before taking out a piece of paper and starting to write on it. He wrote letters on the paper and also placed a ring that barely fit over these words individually.

Errol activated New Order with a thought.

[Give this paper the ability to answer my Question: True Divination]

He felt a loss of 20% of his total spiritual power. What he was doing was indeed outrageous.

This paper could now answer any question asked of it, with the ring moving to the letters to form words. It only worked with events in the present, not the future, or else the consumption of spiritual power would be even more extreme.

Errol didn't use it much, not wanting to lose the remaining excitement in his life.

Also, while it was powerful and could provide answers, it didn't always work. If it did, he would have found Izumi a long time ago. For some reason, whenever he asked questions about Izumi, the ring always gave him an answer of 'Unknown'.

Regardless, Errol began to question the paper.

"What is coming to Karakura Town?"

#Shinigami#

"What are their goals?"

#To check and retrieve Kuchiki Rukia#

"Is there any danger to the town?"

#No#

"Is there any danger to people close to me?"

#No#

"Why do I feel like something is going to happen?"

#Unknown#

This answer made Errol frown. Normally, it could answer even this type of question. The only time it gave the answer 'unknown' was when it was related to...

"Izumi," Errol whispered in shock, before calming himself down. He couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. "Looks like this world is really playing with me."
