"So strong"

Both Miyako and Rangiku said in unison. They couldn't believe what they just witnessed.

They were an elite class shinigami but they didn't even have a chance to do anything.

Ichigo had annihilated all the hostile hollows in a flash.

They thought that he was strong. But they didn't know that he was that strong.

If they were to fight him. They knew they would not be different from the hollows he had dealt with just now.

"I have dealt with all the hostile hollows. This village should have at one point been full of arrancar but they have devolved back to hollow."

Ichigo said as he closed his eyes. He knew that the hollow world was cruel and harsh.

Seeing the crumble village that should be full of lively arrancar got reduced to this state should be common things in this world.

Ichigo could feel the sadness inside the hollows but they could not control their instincts.

Killing them was considered to be an act of mercy.

"Let's move on. There's nothing worthwhile in this village."

Ichigo said that and then moved forward. Didn't give them a chance to say anything.

Leaving the village alone. 

He could tell that there might be something that could give them some merit in the village but he learned what was called sentimental.

So he would leave them be as it could be something important to other arrancar that relate to the devolved hollows inside the village.

Miyako and Rangiku didn't voice out and just followed Ichigo.

They could feel that he felt bad for the village.

'Even though he is strong but He is young after all'

They were both far older than him and had seen much cruelty so they were used to it.

Rangiku moved near him and helped him lighten the mood with her shanigan.

She was very kind and considerate despite her snobbish appeal.

…

On the tall tower inside Harribel's city.

Harribel felt something wrong. 

She got a report from Sung-sun that the low class hollows had strange behavior. 

And there might be someone who was behind them.

They would investigate first and then tell her after but.

Apacchi, Sung-sun, and Mila Rose weren't coming back yet. Or they reported to her what happened.

"Something happened to the former lord and his people. Now Sung-sun, Apacci, and Mila Rose haven't come back."

She closed her eyes and tried to sense their spiritual power but she could not feel them.

Something wrong must have happened to them.

Harribel stood up from her throne.

To her they were both loyal subordinates and friends.

She would never let anything happen to them.

And as she was about to make her move. She felt a familiar feeling coming close.

"This feeling…"

She hastily walked toward the balcony and looked down from the tower.

With her eyesight. She could see far and wide.

She saw a young man and two beautiful women in black cloth which was very contrast to the white color surroundings trying to speak to the guards.

They didn't let them in as they never saw any arrancar like them before.

Harribel could tell immediately who the young man was.

She would never forget his presence.

"Lord of Destruction… He is back"

Harribel didn't waste time. She jumped down from the tall tower and went straight to him.

If he was here. She felt that everything would be okay.

He could give her this feeling that she never felt with someone before.

The feeling that she didn't know.

It was the feeling that she could rely on someone without having to watch over her back.

…

Sung-sun, Mila Rose and Appaci were now badly injured.

They were captured by Nnoitra after they investigated the disappearance of Pesche.

They were too careless. 

They didn't think that the one who was behind the low class hollows would be a vasto lorde class arrancar.

"Humph, you three are really giving me a hard time. I thought to give your lord a bit more time before taking her down. But I think I should change the order for a bit then."

Nnoitra licked his lips as he looked at the trio.

He didn't see the sacred being anywhere so he should eat these three first.

They were pretty strong; they might give him some boost.

Sung-sun, Mila Rose and Apaaci looked at each other.

They didn't have much choice. Maybe they had to do that so they could escape.

'But it's very ugly…'

That was the only thing that prevented them from doing it.
