Chapter 117 Reunion after ten years

Xenovia felt like she was going to die. Her intestine twisted in agonizing pain, causing her to double over in distress. 

The excruciating sensation radiated through her body, leaving her gasping for breath and unable to find any relief. The spiritual pressure she felt from the young Shinigami was so overwhelming. He must be at the ultimate class level!

Irina felt shocked when she tried to look at him clearly again. He was someone she knew, and she never thought they would meet with each other like this.

"I-Ichigo... is that you?"

She called out to him even though she was pressed to the ground by the enormous spiritual pressure. Her voice trembled with a mix of nervousness and disbelief.

Ichigo heard his name mentioned, then he stopped looking at Furina and focused on her. He looked at her for a second or two, then his eyes widened. 

Recognition flickered in Ichigo's eyes as he took in her familiar face.

"Irina?"

He was also surprised that the robe exorcist was actually his childhood friend who went with her parents to the foreign country ten years ago.

He stopped pressing her with his spiritual pressure. Xenovia wasn't as lucky as her because she was still pressed to the ground. She didn't have childhood privileges like Irina did. And the young Shinigami called Ichigo didn't care about her at all.

She didn't know how to feel right now.

"Ichigo, You are a Shinigami. But how? I remembered that you were a human back then. You are not someone from the soul race. Can a human be a Shinigami?"

Irina didn't speak to him to let Xenovia go. Or she might forget about her because of the shock.

To her, a human becoming a Shinigami was impossible. It was like another race changing jobs for another racial class. It shouldn't be possible. 

The concept of a human becoming a Shinigami was beyond Irina's comprehension. It defied the laws of nature and challenged everything she believed about the world.

"I don't know how to explain it, and my father, who used to be a Shinigami, couldn't tell either..."

Isshin had to beg for him to stop asking him those embarrassing questions. 

It should be his son who should be embarrassed about birds and bees, but Ichigo was just too different from his peers. He asked him about how he came to be, and he needed to know the process!

Masaki fled and was never there. She just let him be the one to explain it to their son.

Irina could only nod. She thought that she would visit him after she went to Issei's place first, but who would have thought that they would meet here in this circumstance?

"And what are you and your friend doing here? Why do the two of you want to hurt them? Oh, and before you say anything, it might seem that I helped them, but in fact, I saved both of you. the man that is over there. He is really powerful. He could kill you two in an instant."

Ichigo talked about Neuvillette. If he came slower, they would become just a memory of this world.

Irina nodded her head. She believed in Ichigo's word. And as she was about to answer him, Xenovia couldn't take it anymore, as she would die if he just pressed her to the ground like this.

"Ughh! C-Can you help me first? Irina. I-I am suffocating!"

And that's when Irina remembered about Xenovia. She then looked at Ichigo. She didn't have to tell him anything, as he stopped pressing her to the ground. Xenovia slowly stood up with a relieved expression on her face.

She thought that she was going to die there. Her boobs became a burden when she was pressed to the ground. She almost died because of it.

Ichigo won't apologize for whatever he did. It was they who started messing with people on his turf first.

Irina then answered him honestly. They came here for the holy swords that were stolen from the church by the exiled exorcists and fallen angels. 

Irina explained that their mission was to retrieve the stolen holy swords and restore them to the church. The exiled exorcists and fallen angels had caused chaos by taking them, and it was their duty to bring order back.

"So, you have their holy sword?"

Ichigo asked Furina. She nodded her head quickly and then swiftly gave it to Ichigo. She was her comrade and even her boss to some extent. So there is no need to act tough anymore.

"Yes, I indeed have it in my procession, and I want to give it to you, but those two people want to kill me even though I didn't do anything to them!"

Furina spoke with a tremor in her voice. She explained that the two exorcists attacked her without listening to her at all.

Despite her innocence, they were determined to eliminate her and take the Holy Sword. Her eyes wet a little when she remembered the coldness of their sword, which almost claimed her life.

Irina and Xenovia looked at Furina again. And now, when they looked at her clearly, they couldn't help but feel guilty. She was like a girl who was really afraid of losing her life.

Even though she was a devil. Wasn't she kind of just like them when they were pressed to the ground?
